The Fallbrook Village Association (FVA), which presents the popular Fallbrook Summer Nights, is increasing the fun this summer. Last year, FVA hosted three summer night parties. This year, it will present six events – three Party Off the Grid celebrations (June 9, June 23 and July 7), and three traditional Fallbrook Summer Nights (July 21, Aug. 4 and Aug. 18). Roy Moosa, president of FVA, said the popularity of Fallbrook Summer Nights ironically resulted in his getting complaints. "Everybody screamed and shouted, 'why did you...
News that the Fallbrook Regional Health District (FRHD) board sold the old Fallbrook Hospital facility to a mental health provider – and did so without a vote of the public, which officials had previously stated would be necessary for any sale of the building – caused quite a reaction. The FRHD board, during its regular meeting May 10, voted unanimously to sell the vacant building located at 624 East Elder St. to Crestwood Behavorial Health, Inc. for $4.5 million. The board was able to sell what had been called "the com...
The new state legislation raising gas taxes and vehicle registration fees may be a hardship for motorists, but it provides some relief to local governments responsible for maintaining roads. The expected additional income has allowed the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to call for the restoration of the county's average pavement condition index to a rating of 70 within the next five years. A 5-0 Board of Supervisors vote May 2 authorized the use of $34 million in reserves which will allow the average pavement condition...
EL CAJON – After a wet winter, warming temperatures are quickly drying out the abundant annual grass crop. The increasing fire danger posed by the high volume of dead grass and hotter, drier conditions in the region has prompted Cal Fire to suspend all burn permits for outdoor residential burning within the State Responsibility Area of San Diego County. The suspension took effect May 26 and bans all residential outdoor burning of landscape debris such as branches and leaves. "We are asking that residents not be lulled into a...

So someone has come up with the idea of dog or dogs serving in the village political structure. This is not new and is way late and furthermore, the latest dog council overlooks the greatest dog candidate for Mayor ever. I'm speaking of Elvis, a great, friendly 145 pound Rottweiler, leader of the Bourbonnais pack. You could see him often in the sun in front of the former Primo Coffeehouse on Main drinking with friends. Elvis was disqualified from running for mayor in 2014 on account of his being unable to attend the many...
Eighty-eight ladies wearing exotic hats and golfing attire arrived at the Golf Club of California’s “Where the Turf Meets the Rough” at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 16, in preparation for a shotgun gallop guest day. Cleverly divided into four flights with horse racing names, we were “Running for the Roses,” and what an amazing production it was. As a Fallbrook Niner myself, though now playing at Pala Mesa after our beloved old Gird Road course closed, I have to say this was the most impressive guest day I’ve ever attended. S...
Hilarious letter by Albert Wang. He cites "legal scholars" who wish to impeach Trump. His "legal scholars" are all left-wing supporters and contributors to Hillary's campaign. Actual legal scholars like Jonathon Turley and the left-of-center Alan Derschowitz and dozens of others have stated that there is NO grounds for impeachment. Mr. Wang and his left-wing ideology friends are delusional. He probably spends his days watching CNN and MSNBC. Rob Peterson...
The May 25 issue of the Village News reported State Senator Joel Anderson’s May 18 Fallbrook coffee. I was there, and was very disappointed in the very lengthy, canned responses that Senator Anderson launched into for each question. When he didn't have a canned answer, twice he responded, “I can resolve that if you make me governor,” then moved into what was apparently his closest stock response. I was offended when that was his response to a very thoughtful question from MajGen Anthony Jackson, USMC (Ret). Gen. Jacks...
BONSALL – The Governing Board of Trustees of the Bonsall Unified School District (BUSD) is in the process of gathering information as they prepare for the selection of a new superintendent.

Assemblymember Marie Waldron AD-75 (R) This week at the San Diego County Farm Bureau’s annual installation/awards celebration in Fallbrook, I was proud to recognize Gary Crouch, owner of Mountain Meadow Mushrooms, with an Assembly Resolution honoring him as "Farmer of the Year". Farming is vital to our state and local economies. California has long been the nation’s leading agricultural state, and locally grown crops including avocados, citrus, strawberries, olives, grapes and cut flowers have put San Diego in the top tier of...
I recently lost my granddaughter Alexis and have enclosed the following words from her father: "My friends...I don't know any other way to say this but to just say it. My beautiful, bright young daughter has passed away. For a few years now, Alexis has battled with chemical depression. Basically, a depression not based on events, environment or upbringing, but one based solely off genetics and a chemical imbalance that seemed to begin around puberty. At first it looked to be just normal teenage doldrums and angst. But she...
FALLBROOK -- Two women from two different Fallbrook area businesses were arrested after a multi-agency coordinated prostitution sting, Friday, June 2. Today's arrests followed complaints from the community regarding several local massage parlors, said Fallbrook Sheriff Substation Lieutenant Patrick Gardner. The women were arrested at Jasmine Massage at 412 South Main Avenue and Coco Massage at 1075 South Mission Road after allegedly soliciting undercover officers for sex, according to Sergeant Blumenthal, who lead the sting...
Sunshine broke through San Diego County’s May gray last Sunday (May 28), much to the delight of the thousands of car enthusiasts who gathered at Pala Mesa Resort for the 52nd annual Fallbrook Vintage Car Show. “It went really well,” said Doug Allen, chair of the 2017 show. “I think everyone had a great time, and our staff was thrilled with how everything went. The cars were great, the music was great and the flyover was a really big highlight.” A military flyover featuring...
Dear Friends, Thanks to your help, our petition to stop California from becoming a sanctuary state has nearly 50,000 signatures. I believe that if we get to 100,000 our impact will be impossible to ignore in the Capitol. I will personally bring the signatures to Governor Brown. It’s important to look at real life examples to better understand the debate over sanctuary from immigration enforcement. What does SB 54 actually say? That local law enforcement can’t give ICE personal information about undocumented inmates like the...
