Looks like that 41 year old Hometown Market has gone woke. While shopping on Monday (Military Discount Day) for Ginger Ale mini's that were in the local ad that week, I saw there was only one Sugar Free 10 pack on the shelf. I don't normally buy sugar free, but since that was the only choice I picked it up, with the intention of requesting a raincheck for the regular mini 10 pack when it was in stock. After waiting for the female manager in charge to get off the phone and ask what I needed, I requested a raincheck for the...

Joe Naiman Village News Reporter Each year the San Diego High School Sports Association honors a male Senior Student-Athlete and a female Senior Student-Athlete from each CIF member school, and each year Fallbrook High School recognizes a male Student-Athlete of the Year and a female Student-Athlete of the Year. This year Rose Wagner received both female awards for Fallbrook High School. “Just really honored that they chose me for it because I know there are a ton of student-athletes in Fallbrook,” Wagner said. “I’m just re...
Joe Naiman Village News Reporter The off-season football competition for Fallbrook High School’s football program concluded July 21 with a 7-on-7 game at home against Rancho Buena Vista. “It was good for us to rep against somebody other than ourselves,” said Fallbrook head coach Ross Johnson. (Rep means repetition of activity.) Rancho Buena Vista and Fallbrook are actually Valley League rivals. “There’s a little bit of heightened intensity,” Johnson said. The Warriors had previously participated in a 7-on-7 competition...

FALLBROOK – When many people hear the words “estate planning,” they assume it’s just for the wealthy. But that’s not the case because everyone can benefit from an estate plan. And when you’re creating one, you’ll want to avoid some common mistakes. Before we look at those mistakes, let’s go over what estate planning is designed to accomplish. Essentially, an estate plan allows you to pass on your assets in the way you desire. But it can also specify other actions, such as naming someone to care for your minor children if you...
Dear Republican Women of Fallbrook, Thank you so much for sponsoring me to go to the YAF conference this year. Not only did I get to learn all about important conservative arguments, but I also had the pleasure of meeting many amazing, like-minded people, many of whom I hope to keep in contact with for a long time. Attending this conference definitely changed my life for the better and it wouldn't have happened without you. Going up to Santa Barbara for a few days was a great chance to be independent and make my own...
We are secure in our new digs for our monthly gatherings on the third Sunday of each month at the Community Health & Wellness Center, 1636 E. Mission Road. Woo Hoo! Our next gathering will be on Sunday, Aug. 21 from 2-5 p.m. and it promises to be a doozy. In addition to the excitement of our reconvening after one month off, we will also be celebrating 22 years in existence as the Fallbrook Community Drum Circle. So, we are planning on making this an extra festive occasion. Our sincerest gratitude goes out to all those...
Publisher’s note: As my editorial this week, rather than editorializing on some issue I find important, I thought it would be better to just print the Letter from Sen. Chuck Grassley, the Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee to the DOJ and the FBI. It is related to the FBI’s overt political activity to protect Joe Biden before the election and to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop as disinformation when they knew, in fact, that it was real. The corruption runs so deep in our federal agencies. We know thi...
Dear Republican Ladies of Fallbrook, Thank you so much for creating the opportunity for me to go to the Reagan Ranch and YAF conference. Everything was simply beautiful; I've never enjoyed going to something more. I might even have to rank it up higher than Disneyland! It gave me such joy to see and meet so many fellow like-minded teenagers that also care about the future of America, and it brought me even more joy when pretty much everyone there said they'd vote for me, (as it is my dream to become president). I was able to...
Assemblymember Marie Waldron 75th District California’s spending priorities are often seriously out-of-whack. We spend billions on a bullet train to nowhere that few will ever ride, yet we refuse to spend available funds on new dams, reservoirs and aqueducts during repeated periods of drought. Once-in-a-while though, we get it right. Our local fire departments are essential for public safety, responding to the ever-present threat of wildfires, along with other life threatening emergencies like automobile accidents and heart a...
Is an Article V Convention of States, only part of a much greater agenda? Let's take a look. Today, we keep hearing people say, 'This whole world is going crazy. What is going on?' Well, there is one huge issue the mainstream news media refuses to acknowledge. A major reason for their silence is - it's biblical. Revelation 13 tells us that someday there will be a one world government system. Does anyone think this will magically happen all by itself? Think of the huge task this will be for man to accomplish. Only the elite...
I’m responding to last week’s excellent but sad article regarding our beloved St Johns Thrift shop. This shop was more than a place to buy things at a reasonable price, it was also the home of a community who donated large amounts of money to many worthy causes here in Fallbrook, such as Fallbrook Senior Center, Fallbrook Food Pantry and many others. This shop has been in Fallbrook for over 70 years and in its current location for over 20 years. Both volunteers and many customers felt like family. Some customers actually crie...
In my previous letter, I said Dave Maynard’s claim that an illegal alien (Zarate) shot and killed an American citizen (Steinle ) was not supported by the facts and documented. Rather than attempting to rebut me, he chose to deride my news source. I presume he prefers Fox News, which has billion dollar lawsuits pending, based on its defamation of Smartmatic and Dominion. He then puts up a smokescreen of Republican talking points. Yes, our southern border is loose and large amounts of fentanyl come through from Mexico. But p...
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District Pollsters at UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies asked nearly 8,500 California voters, including 872 San Diegans, to choose two leading concerns they would like state leaders to address. The top two statewide concerns were housing affordability and homelessness. Whenever I meet with groups or people in our community, the most frequently asked question I receive is, 'What is being done about homelessness?' With nearly 50% of the homeless population living in California c...
