What were you doing when you first heard about the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon? It’s hard to believe but that was 18 years ago, and yet I remember it as if it was yesterday. I was a school superintendent at the time and spent the rest of the day with our high school students following the news on televisions in the school library. We must never forget the courage of the “first responders.” While others fled from the burning infernos, the courageous men a...

Petr Svab Epoch Times A former Google engineer has released nearly 1,000 pages of documents that he says prove that the company, at least in some of its products, secretly boosts or demotes content based on what it deems to be true or false, while publicly claiming to be a neutral platform. The software engineer, Zach Vorhies, first provided the documents to Project Veritas, a right-leaning investigative journalism nonprofit, as well as the Justice Department's antitrust...
Patrick Howley The Epoch Times A group of California parents will stage a mass demonstration at the State Capitol in Sacramento to protest perceived injustices on the part of Child Protective Services (CPS) agencies against families across the United States. Bay Area Families United is partnering with more than 30 groups nationwide to stage the Oct. 4 rally, which organizers hope will shed light on the disenfranchisement of parents by what they view as a profit-driven system...

Though the kick was missed, the...
The Aug. 22-24 Rancho Bernardo Invite tournament began Fallbrook High School’s water polo season, and although the Warriors had a 1-3 record in the tournament, Fallbrook opened the 2019 season with a 10-9 victory over Patrick Henry High School in the Aug. 22 game at Rancho Bernardo High School. “Good to get off on a good start,” Fallbrook coach Bill Richardson said. This year Fallbrook and Patrick Henry are both in Division II for CIF playoff purposes, so the win over another Division II team will have playoff seeding impli...
Prince Earl, a 4-year-old gelding stabled at the San Luis Rey Training Center, won the Del Mar Mile Stakes race, Aug. 18, at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Although he entered the stretch sixth among the 10 horses competing, Prince Earl won the one-mile turf race by three-quarters of a length over second-place Sharp Samurai. “The strategy was just to utilize the post position and save as much run as we could,” trainer Phil D’Amato said. “All of those things worked out the way we hoped.” The race was the fifth for Prince Ea...
The Fallbrook High School boys’ cross-country team finished fifth in the Valley League last season, but a good group of seniors could help them reach even higher in 2019. “We have a good group out for summer training and the kids are in great shape coming into the season,” head coach Marco Arias said. “We have a good group of seniors led by Josh Hernandez and we will be making a run for a league title this year.” Hernandez placed 49th with a time of 16 minutes 41.4 seconds at the Division II CIF San Diego Section meet on M...
I published a similar article to this one a few weeks ago. After receiving interesting questions and comments, I decided to elaborate. You’re probably thinking that I’m fresh out of ideas and, with the long holiday weekend, wanted to find an easy way to be in print this week. I can assure you, I am never out of information to share, and the holiday comes after my deadline. Why then am I writing on this topic again? I want to make sure you understand the urgency at hand. Rig...
FALLBROOK – Many people turn to timeshares as a way to enjoy annual vacations. But is investing in a timeshare a financially sound decision? That depends on who you ask. Getting the facts about how timeshares work and learning a few tricks can help anyone make an educated decision about timeshares. In a timeshare, individuals purchase a place to stay in vacation property. They typically can then use this room and the surrounding amenities once per year, and often must travel to the same location time and again. Timeshares l...
FALLBROOK – The process of buying a home can be unlike any experience prospective buyers have ever had. After finding a home they like and coming to an agreement on a sale price with the seller, buyers can expect to add many items to their to-do list. One of the first things to jot down on that list is scheduling a home inspection. Home inspections are a vital part of the home buying process. Such inspections can protect buyers as they're on the cusp of making what will l...

Assisted outpatient treatment is one of the most effective tools available for treating severely mentally ill persons. Legislation known as Laura’s Law was introduced in 2001 by Assemblymember Helen Thomson, D-Davis, in an effort to make assisted outpatient treatment available throughout California. My subsequent legislation, Assembly Bill 59, extended the sunset date an additional five years. Laura’s Law allows court-ordered assisted outpatient treatment for mentally ill pat...
By now most kids are back in school, the house is probably a little quieter (good or bad) and the summer starts to fade away. For the kids, whether you’re going to middle school, high school or off to college enjoy these days. You may not know it now, but these are the simpler times. Don’t stress over trying to make the team, or getting a bad grade. Try your best and know that there are bigger responsibilities ahead. For the parents, love your kids unconditionally. Soon they’ll be off with their own friends, annoyed at their...
Irene Luo and Jan Jekielek The Epoch Times "Ninety-three percent of our prisoners are male, but of those 93% males, more than 90% of them are dad-deprived males," Warren Farrell, an American educator and a prolific author on men's and women's issues, said in an interview with The Epoch Times for the "American Thought Leaders" program. In his view, the lack of a father figure in the home is the single greatest predictor of what he describes as "the boy crisis:" across...
Here’s my take on mass shooting issues. I invite you to convince me I am wrong. I have been a gun owner for 75 years, shot at in combat, a concealed carry permit holder for more than 30 years, recipient of death threats while conducting investigations and the up close and personal victim of an attempted car-jacking in which my handgun caused the perpetrator to turn and run. I’ve conducted lots of background checks, and I have been the subject of very thorough government background checks that took months to complete. I am...
I have to tell you I am rolling on the floor laughing hysterically, wherever do you people get your news? You hear some fake news sound bite about one millionaire or one billionaire who associated with a child molesting billionaire and somehow President Donald Trump is a known child molester? You do know they call that slander, right? You overlooked former President Bill Clinton’s association with Epstein and said nothing? So just because you know someone, now you are the same as them? So what you are saying is Clinton and T...

Last week my letter was published in this paper; it contained my opinion, an opinion that was based on facts, such as proven, verifiable events. I did receive some kind, positive remarks, and an anonymous note in my mail. I understand it is the policy of the Village News to not print anonymous letters, so a brief summation of the note: I am a very ignorant, brainless, hateful and closed-minded person for not appreciating what millions of Americans and Fallbrook folks know and love about our glorious and great president who...
Dear Supervisor Jim Desmond, I am a constituent in Fallbrook. I have a complaint about some road repair problems in Fallbrook. The problems are at Stagecoach Lane and Reche Road. The road folks have been working on adding a few hundred feet for an additional lane at this intersection for months. I believe that the project first started early last fall almost a year ago. The county sign at each end of the project shows it is a project costing $772,000. It seems like there is a crew out there to work on it for a day or two at a...
