Temecula City Councilmember Zak Schwank owes an apology to the Community of Fallbrook, California. During the Aug. 24 meeting, Councilmember Schwank made a lame attempt to condemn a recent (alleged) incident of racism at Temecula Valley High School. He resurrected and regurgitated an unfortunate statistic concerning a notorious white supremacist who once resided in Fallbrook. (www.villagenews.com/story/2020/11/12/news/tom-metzger-white-supremacist-who-lived-in-fallbrook-for-4-decades-dies-at-82/64132.html) Councilmember... Full story
Never in our 25 years selling real estate have we experienced more homeowners who are selling and leaving California. Easily 8 out of every 10 of the sellers we work with are leaving California to find more affordable housing, lower taxes, and a different political culture. Retirees are leaving California. They want to stretch their retirement funds out as far as possible, so giving up great weather in exchange for a lower cost of living and lower taxes, are worth the move.... Full story
Things I just learned today: Israel and Great Britain, the two countries with the largest populations of vaccinated people, just experienced their largest new-case infections of Covid-19. FDA advisory panel website rejects wide spread Pfizer booster shots. A vaccinated person can and is often the offender as a superpreader. Meaning, the vaccinated person can show no symptoms and be spreading the virus at the same time. DAAH! There is other data out there which supports the rest of this opinion, if you do your research. It all... Full story
I just today received our copy of the 9/9/21 edition of the Fallbrook Village News and I wanted to commend you for bringing to your readers the reminder of both your feelings of the personal loss of Tom McGuinness as well as the tragic loss of the those thousands of innocent people that lost their lives that day during and after the attack on the World Trade Center Towers. Your tribute encapsulates very succinctly and accurately the significance of remembering what “911” is all about and it hit home personally for me and my... Full story
I want to thank the author of the subject letter for letting us know that there is one intolerant Liberal in Fallbrook. We Liberals were dismayed to learn that one of our own thought it might be necessary to cheat, when the rest of us knew that our Governor had the vote in the bag. Of course, before the vote, the mainstream media tried to make it look like it was pitched battle, but it turned out to be more like a walk in the park. You can’t blame the homeless problem on our Governor, primarily because it’s not his pro... Full story
Did you know the flag came about on June 14, 1777, when Congress passed the first of three major flag acts? Or that over 200 years ago, the Second Continental Congress officially made the Stars and Stripes the symbol of America? Since 1916, when President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation establishing a national Flag Day on June 14, Americans have commemorated the adoption of the Stars and Stripes in many ways, including the displaying of our flag in the front of our homes. There are many items on which we, as... Full story
Julie Reeder Publisher This week neighboring Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco made a statement that he is refusing to enforce the forced vaccine mandates from President Joe Biden in a podcast, RSO Roundup. "As your sheriff, I have an obligation to guard your liberty and freedom," Bianco said, adding that the government has no ability and no authority to mandate a citizen’s health choices. “I will not enforce the vaccine mandate on Sheriff’s Department employees,” Bianco said in the podcast. “The information I have abou...

Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District This past weekend, I participated in two 9/11 Memorial events, both of which honored the brave men and women who died on that horrific day. It was not lost on me that both events took place in Oceanside, a city whose fabric and culture are built by our military. On the morning of 9/11, I sat numb, and stared, like all Americans, not yet comprehending the impact this would have on all our lives. I reflected on my time in the Navy, and how our brave military personnel must be feeling the... Full story
Since I came to Fallbrook awhile back to care for family members, I have encountered so many nice people and a few not so nice. Last Saturday, 9-11 of all days with our 20th anniversary of being attacked on our own soil and honoring those that lost their lives, I was traveling on Fallbrook Street headed to Stage Coach when I saw a friend of mine stopped on the side of the road talking with another person and it did not seem very friendly. So when I got home I called her. Here is how her story went. My friend had spotted an... Full story
Does he want to establish his legacy as a president who fought for voting rights, or not? In order to be remembered as a president who fought for voting rights, Biden must do more than ask the Senate to pass voting rights legislation. He knows as well as we do that bills like the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act won’t make it through the Senate unless we abolish the filibuster. Biden must publicly and unequivocally support abolishing the filibuster to clear the way for these crucial r... Full story
Here we go again. We are being told California water supplies are at risk and we need to start using less water under threat of more mandatory water use restrictions. In 2019, we had one of the wettest years on record. At the end of the 2019 water year, major water storage reservoirs in California were at 125% of average capacity. That was just two years ago. In 2019, California had enough rainfall and snow pack to satisfy several years of water supply demands if we had dams and reservoirs of sufficient capacity to capture... Full story
Assemblymember Marie Waldron SD-75 Historically, the relationship between federal and state governments and Native Americans has been fraught with violence, mistreatment and neglect. In 1887, the General Allotment Act broke up reservation lands and resulted in the uncompensated loss of 90 million acres nationwide. Taking steps toward restoring tribal lands through fee-to-trust transfers is one way to correct past injustices, restore tribal sovereignty, self-determination and economic independence. I have joined Senator Ben... Full story
SACRAMENTO – AB 1215, Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath’s bill, which responds to incidents of bought-and-paid-for acceptances by installing a strict firewall between admissions and philanthropy staff, passed the Senate on a 38 – 0 bipartisan vote, Sept. 2. The bill also requires the verification of an applicant’s participation in a sport before and after their arrival on campus – a direct response to some of the more extreme tactics used by wealthy parents to jump the line in UC admissions. “These changes will help r...

The Biden administration has brought shame on the United States of America. An impeachment of Joe Biden alone would not be enough, it should be the whole crew, Biden, Harris, Blinken, Milley and Austin. I might add Pelosi, Schumer, the squad and I'm sure many others in the swamp, including the RINOS (Republicans in name only), Romney (whom I am distressed to say I voted for), Murkowski, Cheney and Collins. So many need to be held accountable. I pray they will. The Afghan debacle, leaving Americans and Afghan allies and... Full story
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District Power safety power shut offs can wreak havoc on the backcountry, especially on evacuation routes. As we head into fire season, many people will have their power shutoff due to high winds and fire danger. Back in March, Supervisor Joel Anderson and I presented a Board Letter after hearing about problems associated with PSPS events. This item passed with unanimous support and directed the chief administrative officer to identify gaps in Public Safety Power Shutdown mitigation and... Full story
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a warranty on everything in life? I for one, would love a warranty on health, or relationships. I suppose one could say that generally we all have a warranty on health. The warranty just runs out at different times for every individual. The warranty on health could be deemed to be invalid if an individual intentionally does things to undermine their health. A warranty on relationships would be awesome if it meant that a service could be p... Full story
Assemblymember Marie Waldron SD-75 Reality is setting in for the high-speed rail project. Cost overruns, construction delays and false promises may have finally doomed the project. In 2008, voters passed Prop. 1A, a $9.5 billion bond measure to help finance high-speed rail. Promises included keeping costs under $40 billion, the state’s maximum investment would be 30%, funding from federal, private and local sources would pay the rest. Additional taxpayer subsidies were prohibited, and construction could not begin until all r... Full story
San Diego County Gun Owners, a political action committee promoting Second Amendment rights, is not endorsing a candidate in the recall election, but we are recommending a “yes” vote for removing Gov. Newsom. Don’t argue over your favorite replacement candidate. Instead, the best way to support your candidate is to encourage more people to vote to recall Newsom. Your second vote will count only if a majority votes “yes” on the first question. Newsom has been the most anti-Second Amendment governor the state has ever endu... Full story
Recently my husband asked me if my new pink lace ballet slippers were “comfortable?” Blink. Blink. “Pardon me?” I replied. As you might imagine, I am still laughing myself into hiccups. Was there ever a pair of pretty lady’s shoes designed for comfort? Certainly, none I ever bought. Actually, thinking back, I forgot. There were two times. The first time I purchased sensible footwear was when I moved from California to work in New Jersey. Just days before a record snowfall in January 1995, I bought a pair of black-lac... Full story
Julie Reeder Publisher I used to produce a radio show on KOGO AM600 in the 90s. Occasionally I was the guest host because the show's host, Mason Weaver, had another engagement. On one of those shows, I interviewed a father in Pennsylvania, if I remember correctly. I'll never forget the topic. They were doing vaginal exams of the student girls ages 11 and 12 without any parental consent or warning. It was "for the health of the girls." It didn't take long for parents to get tha...

Joseph Reagan Wreaths Across America Over the past few days, I have had an opportunity to chat with several fellow veterans, service members, military family members, and Gold Star families. It is beyond the obvious in saying that the past few days have been extraordinarily difficult for those with a personal connection to our mission in Afghanistan. My wife Tiffany and I are no different. Earlier this week, a CNN reporter broadcast from a base in Andar, Afghanistan – this was a base that my soldiers and I built, it’s the bas... Full story
To all Democratic and Independent voters: it’s up to us to keep California blue. And it couldn’t be any easier, since every voter is receiving a mail-in ballot. If you haven’t already voted, simply mark the “No” option, put the ballot in the return envelope, sign (your registered name), and date it, and drop it in the mail promptly. No stamp required. To all Republican voters, I suggest following the above procedure as well. I understand you had concerns earlier. What our governor asked was for us to consider our responsib... Full story
Assemblymember Marie Waldron SD-75 Approximately 187,000 Californians are diagnosed with cancer each year. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in our state, exceeded only by heart disease. Unfortunately, in many underserved areas there is a disconnect between recent medical advances and patient access to lifesaving quality care. There are hundreds of different types of cancer, requiring a vast array of complex treatments. Increasingly, cancer care is dependent on genetic and genomic testing individualized for each...

I'm writing this to help residents who wonder how they would go about addressing street light outages in Fallbrook, and who to call to report them. Our community residents can call 877-684-8000. They can also go to https://www.4sconnect.com/report-street-light-outages/ and report the outages online. The last time I checked, there were over 12 lights that had burned out, on Mission, Main, and the side streets I take. Thank you! Take it upon yourself to check your street lights headed home.

Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District For many, the reason they move to San Diego’s unincorporated area is to be away from the intensity of city living. They want to be away from the noise, the hustle and bustle and surrounded by the beauty of our region. They certainly don’t want some of the worst criminals/individuals placed in their neighborhood. Unfortunately, that is happening more and more, with the State of California releasing Sexually Violent Predators back out into society. There was some good news this week with the... Full story
