While the Fallbrook Union Elementary School District (FUESD) has been focusing on growth at the San Onofre Elementary, the district as a whole is preparing for a 50 to 60 student attendance decline at the return of winter break. According to FUESD Superintendent Janice Schultz, there was an increase in student population overall in the district, but they are noticing a decline. Schultz believes the district may lose in-town enrollment as families go home to visit and do not return because of the lack of work. “If 50 or 60 k...

Fallbrook residents know that their village is a hidden gem. Now it appears the rest of San Diego County is starting to take notice of the unique businesses and services found in Fallbrook. One such business is the Grand Tradition, which was recently selected by Channel 10 KGTV as one of the top wedding spots in the region, after voters raved over the services offered at the estate. Built in 1984, the Grand Tradition is the perfect place for weddings, with 30 acres of...
The Fallbrook Food Pantry would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers for the year 2008, especially those that came in during the very busy holiday times.

My name is Cindy Rai and I am from Texas. On November 22, 2008, my son Rick Montalvo gave his sister Jeannie Montalvo a ride on his motorcycle. It was a beautiful Saturday. They were on Alvarado when the accident happened on their way home. My daughter was trapped under the car that also ran over the motorcycle. I was told that at least three men stopped to render aid. One jacked up the car and they all lifted it off her. This, I was informed at the hospital, saved her life. My son is a Marine and is just recently back on...
The Fallbrook Fury Soccer Boys U-10 team finished the season in a grand way. They placed second in the Presidio League - a terrific accomplishment! This earned them the right to play in the State Cup in January. The Boys U-10’s were also second in the prestigious Presidio Cup Tournament. It’s been a great experience for this team, due in no small part to the expertise and terrific coaching of team coach Kevin Koptieff. Kevin also coaches the Boys U-8 team, who placed first in the Presidio Cup tournament. These boys are hav...
At 21 years of age, many people cannot handle the responsibility that comes with drinking. Responsible adults do not drink and drive; they do not allow friends to drink and drive; and they do not allow underage drinking! How many more need to lose their lives before parents in this community wake up and start being parents - parents who do not condone underage drinking and do not allow underage drinking on their property or provide access to alcohol to our kids. Parents who allow their kids to host parties where alcohol is...
Your article on SR76 (12/18/08) omitted one vital fact – the only left turn from South Mission to I15 is Gird Road. All traffic west of Gird must turn right and take a U-turn at South Mission. I attended the recent meeting and talked to Mark Phelan, and others. All agreed this would be unacceptable to the residents living north of SR76 now. Cost relativity is the same. A real traffic jam at South Mission and SR76 – U-turners and east and west on SR76. Thank you for reporting these facts in the Village News. A petition is bei...
It is universally accepted that George Bush is delusional, hanging on to the far-fetched hope “history will judge him a great president.” Today Laura Bush and Condoleeza Rice “strongly reject scathing criticism of the Bush presidency,” claiming critics are “ridiculous,” and even “this generation will thank him for what he’s done” proves that delusion still lives within his small circle of friends and family. Bush has done more to harm this nation than any army of terrorists could ever hope to do. The failures are sickening, m...
