The Fallbrook Union High School District (FUHSD) will lose its resource officer in the 2016-2017 academic school year due to finances, despite the great work performed by the Sheriff’s deputy. According to FUHSD superintendent Hugo Pedroza, this has nothing to do with Detective Morgan Fomby’s work; as a matter of fact, Fomby has been praised for her outstanding work on the high school campus. "Detective Fomby has done absolutely nothing wrong at all," said Pedroza. "We lov...

Jack Story Special to the Village News I see that the annual Fallbrook Avocado Days celebration is coming up soon and it causes me to think about the community celebrations that were held here in past years. In my lifetime, I can recall the annual Future Farmers Day Parade which I have read began in 1934, the year I was born. I have, hanging on my wall at home, a picture of me sitting on a horse all dressed up in a cowboy outfit getting ready to ride in the Future Farmers... Full story

In response to Mr. Stitle, most respectfully, a quick check of the FUESD salary schedule shows that in order to earn the $80,000 per year Mr. Stitle cited, one of our elementary teachers would have to have a Masters Degree and 14 years of teaching experience. Only eight percent of Americans have a Masters Degree, so to compare Fallbrook teachers to that number or to the average wage earner in California is inaccurate. Furthermore, it is a gross misrepresentation that teachers work 40-hour weeks. Most elementary teachers work...
It’s clear that the Fallbrook Pregnancy Resource Center has provided valuable services for thousands of pregnant women over the years. However, when your writer states that "someone…will listen to their circumstances without an agenda," that’s a little less clear. The center is avowedly pro-life (or anti-choice, if that’s your position). According to their website, "FPRC does not refer clients for abortions or to abortion providers as it would violate our mission to provide life-affirming care to those in pregnan... Full story

By the 1940s several states passed "pound seizure" legislation, which required shelters to provide dogs and cats to research institutions, either directly or through "Class B" dealers which served as animal...
