Julie Reeder Publisher With all the concern over critical theory possibly being taught in our local high school, I requested the curriculum and teaching aids used by FUHSD relating to unconscious bias, critical race theory and other related topics.

From what I was given, and from what I could see, there was a lot that was helpful to teach young people. We want to teach them to be thoughtful and kind, no matter who they are...

Rick Monroe Special to the Village News A Fallbrook woman has launched a drive to let locals know she believes the people in front of Albertson's and Major Market soliciting donations are not someone to help. Instead, she suggests giving to local organizations. The solicitors wear white uniforms similar in appearance to the Salvation Army workers.

As a resident of Fallbrook since 1988, I have been an FPUD rate payer for 33 years. The current effort to detach the Fallbrook Public Utility District and the Rainbow Municipal Water District from the San Diego Water Authority is of great importance to our community. Serious business. Since 1944, San Diego County has been joined in a common approach to water quality and availability. I am a big fan of such collaborative efforts when all concerned receive value in proportion to contribution. The collaboration must stand the...

For decades, in spite of its unassuming appearance, this simple democratic paper bag graced home kitchens without a nod to...
Assemblymember Marie Waldron AD-75 The crisis at the Employment Development Department (EDD) is continuing. Many claimants had to wait months for their benefits, thousands have had their finances devastated, while others filed phony claims that reportedly defrauded the state of over $30 billion. The executive branch administers state agencies but has taken no significant steps toward reforming EDD. The Legislative Branch has stepped into the breech, and I’m very happy that my office has been able to help thousands of c...

Unfortunately, one of the main reasons is due to the growing prevalence of the Delta variant. According to our County Public Health Officials, the Delta variant is more contagious. There is some good news, thankfully hospitalizations and the need for ICU beds remain well within the capacities of our local healthcare system to handle and manage. A main reason for this is because more than two-thirds of San Diego County...
I have a dream. Yes, I have a dream that our land will once again be a land of liberty and justice for all. That the Bible and the Ten Commandments will once again be taught in our schools and not critical race theory which divides us and teaches us to hate each other. That will be a thing of the past. God hates Critical Race Theory. Proverbs 8:16 has this to say: The seven things God hates A proud look A lying tongue Hands that shed innocent blood A heart that devises wicked imaginations, Feet that are swift in running to...

SAN DIEGO – When the COVID-19 pandemic began over a year ago, seniors who may have been shy about technology were forced to learn and adapt to a new means of communicating and engagement. However, doing so was not easy or possible for some despite technology adoption among seniors steadily increasing over the years. A technology gap was apparent, but nonprofit organizations like San Diego Oasis have stepped in to bridge this “digital divide” among older adults through the delivery of tablets, free internet, training sessions...
