  • First canine mayor helps raise over $20,000

    Updated Jul 20, 2020

    Most electoral races are dog-eat-dog, but the inaugural canine mayor election in Fallbrook involved lots of smiles and wagging tails. Vince Ross Village Square was full of music, fun and dog loving folk as they waited for the winning candidate to be announced on May 13. Miss Fallbrook and her court, in addition to campaign managers and fans of each candidate, stood waiting for the announcement to be made. The Midili Brothers Band played classic rock as everyone gathered to...

    Updated May 18, 2017

    Although it was a rainy day May 6, the Fallbrook Pregnancy Resource Center Hats in the Garden Tea and Auction filled the Fallbrook Community Center with warmth and friendly chatter. A total of 138 guests took part in a spirited competition for gift baskets and works of art and hats in the silent auction, all to raise much needed funds for the center. They also enjoyed an amazing menu of both sweet and savory tea fare, prepared by volunteer caterer Trish Rivera, as well as...

    Updated May 18, 2017

  • Re: Issa delivers new books to Bonsall West [Village News, 5/4/17]

    Updated May 18, 2017

    Issa's small gesture is right. Do we really think this puny donation of 76 books which he probably received for free is front page news? It is a positively shameful bit of public relations to cover up Issa's vote to remove health care coverage to millions of Americans. Let's hope Issa's "yes" vote for Trumps Health "care" bill will mean a "No" vote for Issa in 2018. Nancy Javier...

  • Independent investigation needed into collusion with Russia

    Updated May 18, 2017

    The U.S. intelligence community has stated that Russia interfered in our election process. This should outrage every single citizen. There is also a possibility that the Trump presidential campaign colluded with Russia in its interference. This should chill every citizen to the core, regardless of party. Congressmen Issa and Hunter should be vociferously and frequently insisting on an independent investigation. This is a no-brainer. If there was no collusion, the Republicans should be champing at the bit to clear the name of...

  • The clock is ticking

    Updated May 18, 2017

    Assemblymember Marie Waldron AD-75 (R) This year over 2,800 bills, an excessive number in my view, were introduced in Sacramento. Many have a fiscal impact, and must be referred to the Appropriations Committee, the last stop for fiscal bills before they are presented to the full Assembly or Senate for a final floor vote. With so many bills to consider, the Appropriations Committee Chair and Vice Chair often agree to refer non-controversial bills costing under $150,000 to the consent calendar so their passage can be...

  • Why awards banquets are important

    Updated May 18, 2017

    The Village News staff attended the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce awards luncheon this year. The chamber's awards banquets, like the Land Conservancy's awards banquets, and many other community awards banquets, are all important. While many people move to our beautiful hamlet to enjoy the landscape and the friendly atmosphere, others live here and actually get involved in the community to make it a better place. These volunteers, in addition to politicians, serve us, are actively involved, and really make a difference. They...

Among the volunteers who were recognized for...
