BONSALL – A veritable David and Goliath story is unfolding at Bonsall High School in the form of a speech and debate team. Bonsall High School, established in 2014, has just over 300 students. In most school-to-school competitions, like athletics, the schools are placed in a division where they compete with schools of a similar size. In speech and debate, competitions are organized regionally in leagues open to all in that area. That means, the Bonsall squad, whose entire t...
Joe Naiman Village News Reporter The Vallecitos School District board has approved a collective bargaining agreement with the Vallecitos Educators Association. A 4-0 board vote Jan. 9, with one vacant seat, approved the agreement for fiscal year 2023-24. The Vallecitos teachers will receive a 5% raise for 2023-24, and the agreement also provides for a 4% raise for 2024-25. “It was a productive negotiating session,” said Vallecitos School District Superintendent Meliton Sanchez, who is also the district’s chief business offic...

This season's starting lineup for Fallbrook High School's girls basketball team consists of senior Claire Nordeen, junior Janice Garcia, and freshmen Grace Nordeen, Emery Pizzo, and Taylor Thomas. "We're losing a key piece, but we have three really good pieces to build around for the next four years," said Fallbrook coach Trae Harrison. The lack of previous high school varsity experience for three of the starters hasn't hindered Fallbrook's season record. A 66-23 home victory...
Fallbrook High School’s boys basketball team led for most of the Warriors’ Jan. 18 home game against Valley Center, but the Jaguars made the winning basket with four seconds left for a 58-56 victory at Fallbrook’s expense. “We learned we’ve got to play 32 minutes. We have to play and compete 32 minutes,” said Fallbrook coach Jonathan Terry. “We’ve got to finish the game like we started.” The result gave Fallbrook a 1-2 record in Valley League play along with a 7-10 overall mark. After the first three league contests for each...

Joe Naiman Village News Reporter A 2-1 home loss Jan. 17 against Rancho Bernardo gave Fallbrook High School’s boys soccer team an overall season record of 5-7-1 including 0-3 in Palomar League play. “I think the boys are doing the best they can,” said Fallbrook coach Jorge Rojas. “It’s definitely a new varsity team, so there are a ton of challenges.” Only two starters and six players altogether return from Fallbrook’s 2022-23 team whose 12-8-5 overall record includes a 5-4-1 mark against Palomar League opposition, a first-rou...
In 2022, as the world started waking up from the covid shutdown, I reached out to my friend Phyllis from Fallbrook. We had not spoken for a few months. I had been busy getting my daughter into college, navigating a military move during a pandemic, and still nursing my youngest. Phyllis was just as busy. She and Jack had a special network of friends, and she was deeply involved in her grandchildren’s lives. Phyllis was a fairy godmother, breezing through her days spreading love and kindness to all the children and animals in h...
It is with profound disappointment and deep concern that I express my opposition to the decision allowing the placement of Sexually Violent Predator Alvin Quarles, also known as the "Bolder than Most" rapist, back into San Diego County. The judge's decision is devastating for our community, and I strongly believe there is no place for such a monstrous individual in our midst. For over three years, Mr. Quarles terrorized our communities, committing heinous acts of rape against a dozen women. His behavior's consistent and...
Another word salad from this writer seething with anger and vitriol, no surprises on that front, but the worrisome threat to “Remember these names for future reference” certainly gives one pause. To what “future reference” is the writer referring? Are these folks to be targeted for their views upon a (God help us) return of Trump and a dictatorial right-wing regime in Washington, turned in by their neighbors to the thought police by people like this letter writer? The not-so-veiled threats implied with this letter are of...
It has finally happened. Alas, it’s time to pay the Piper and just live with the consequence of my actions. After 30 years in sales, my legs and feet are racked with pain. In my defense, Sales is all about having a leg up (no pun intended) on the consumer. It starts with first impressions. What I call the “10-second rule.” It’s simple. Everyone is judged by the people we meet. And when selling a product, one needs to have an advantage, real or imagined, to write-t...
Here I am wasting my precious time responding to your rant in the opinion section of the Jan 11 newspaper. Why? Because it left me completely gobsmacked. You might seek help for addiction to MAGgot Kool-aid. I hear psychedelics are promising in treating addiction, too bad they don’t help with hate. How is it I can claim you are off the rails? Your first paragraph blaming President Joe Biden “for global hostility.” Really? Last time I checked he was only responsible for this country, but like all brainwashed MAGgots, you l...
I’m not sure. It’s taking a bit of research to find out. I want to give one website that I found which had a surprising number of lawsuits, etc. proving that there is definitely a problem and it’s across the country. Here is the link in case you want to get a headstart on the piece for next week: https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud It’s the Heritage Foundation website and in a sampling of cases across the country, there are 1500 proven instances of Voter Fraud, 1276 Crimina...
Dear Friends – Jim Desmond and Mark Kieser continue to ignore the Bonsall Community Sponsor Group (BCSG) and Bonsall residents. The BCSG requested in several, separate meetings that Desmond and Kieser move all the high activities to the Del Prado Park and Mark Kieser said no! There are two parks in Bonsall, (1) Bonsall Community Park (BCG) on Camino Del Rey and (2) Del Prado Park (DPP) off the 76. The DPP is the better location for a highly active park for high activities like soccer, skate boarding and baseball. Located j...
Maynard’s latest screed is 789 words long! They are all actual words, and the sentences are grammatically correct. But the end result is simply and totally claptrap. One of his two main themes is: President Biden is not only seditious; he is head of a mafia-type family engaged in every conceivable type of criminality. Many words later, He gives kudos to Rep. James Comer for “exposing Biden’s seditious behavior.” Whoa! Comer has done nothing of the kind. He initiated impeachment proceedings against President Biden on Sept. 12,...
I recently joined several legislators to tour the site of the Camp Fire, the deadliest wildfire disaster in 100 years, which struck much of Butte County in 2018. The fire resulted in 85 deaths, covered almost 240 square miles, and almost totally destroyed the towns of Paradise, Concow and other communities. Sadly, this tragic death toll was surpassed in 2023 by fires that engulfed Maui, with almost 100 dead and many still missing. Our region is no stranger to wildfires. Most...
