FALLBROOK – In November, the Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Christmas Child collects shoebox gifts filled with fun toys, school supplies and hygiene items and delivers them to children in need around the world. For many of these children, the gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received and demonstrates God’s love in a tangible way, according to the organization’s website. Samaritan’s Purse is a nondenominational Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world....
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors has given direction to county staff to advance 19 options to increase the supply of affordable housing in unincorporated San Diego County. Separate Board of Supervisors votes were taken on each of the options during the Oct. 10 hearing; the votes were to refine the possibilities for subsequent action rather than to approve any specific proposal. The supervisors voted 5-0 to receive the report and to find the preliminary planning actions exempt from California Environmental Quality...
Poet Robert Frost exclaimed, "Nothing gold can stay" and that is how I and likely many of the almost 1 million constituents of California State Senator Joel Anderson feel as his term concludes at the end of November this year, if they have been staying abreast of what they're Senator has been accomplishing. He is a Republican whose voting record has gotten the highest ratings from the American Conservative Union, California Taxpayers Association, California Republican...

According to Jeff Woodrey, this is the last time you'll have the opportunity to let him scare you, gross you out, and help him raise funds for a worthy cause at the same time. "I have been the one that built it and put it on the last few years," Woodrey said. "But, this is the last year I am going to be doing it." Woodrey said he's built a bunch of new scenes for this year, including cemetery, witch, babydoll and boogeyman settings. "People don't realize what I do until they...

FALLBROOK – Deciding to leave a job is seldom an easy decision. However, it's a more common decision than many people may know, as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates the average worker holds 10 different jobs before age 40. People change jobs for a variety of reasons. Some do so because of better opportunities elsewhere, while others simply need a change. Regardless of what's motivating a job change, leaving a place of employment can elicit various emotions, including some that may contribute to negative t...

It will be an opportunity for the women to learn about each other’s needs, goals and experiences. Sharing their visions and ideas in a com...
Six years ago, Fallbrook and Bonsall school district voters approved the unification of the Bonsall school district. Historically, Bonsall schools served students in grades K-8; with unification, local voters voiced their support for local control over their own Bonsall Unified School District to serve students in grades 9-12. Bonsall High School opened in 2014 and added a new grade each year, proudly graduating its first senior class in June 2018. Eighty-six percent of these graduates are pursuing college degrees; 6 percent...
No political letters will be published in the Nov. 1 issue. The deadline for letters for the Oct. 25 issue is Friday, 4 p.m., no exceptions. The word limit is 350 words. Letters should be emailed to [email protected]. Correction: In the letter "Bonsall High School fights to pass Measure EE" (10/11/18), the writers mistakenly wrote that 98 percent of this year's graduates were college bound. The correct amount is 86 percent. Heather Holdo, Sara Barclay and Maddison Walsh apologize for the error....
I am a relatively new Fallbrookian, having lived here for four years. I love this community, the people, and the land. I’ve taken special interest recently in the local issues and candidates in the upcoming election. I am saddened by the polarity in our country, but do not feel this way about our friendly village. On Oct. 9, I decided to attend a candidate forum sponsored by CSU San Marcos. Local candidates from both parties were invited to speak. As a retired business owner, I have voted for both Republicans and Democrats i...
In August of 2018, the Bonsall Unified School District board approved borrowing $2.7 million to cover cash outflows for October and November of 2018. The interest is expected to cost the district $15,000. Last year the board also approved borrowing $2.7 million to cover expenses. It was recently discovered that the district has $5.5 million in Capital Appreciation Bonds which will mature for $18.4 million. With Capital Appreciation Bonds, no payments are made until maturity, but the interest continues to accrue each year....
In four years, BHS has developed into a first-rate public high school. Students, teachers, staff, administrators, parents and community members have worked to make this happen. Our daughter is a 2018 Bonsall graduate and is a freshman at UCSD. BHS and their focus on project-based learning has helped prepare her for her next steps. Sometimes students had to go back to the drawing board. Sometimes things didn’t go as planned, but persevering, dealing with setbacks, and not giving up was and is an integral part of the e...
Recently I talked with a BHS student about the proposed EE bond. I asked her, “How can the district afford to operate and maintain another large campus given its spending deficits and the downward trend in enrollment?” She couldn’t answer the question. so she politely pivoted and replied, “Well, what other choice do we have?” Actually, there are several good answers to her question but the best longterm solution comes from BUSD Trustee Richard Olson, and it makes total sense. First, reject the EE bond, then sell the Gird...
I wanted to provide some additional context to an article that was published in the Village News recently. In the article, an impression was made that the new ordinance would affect individuals who currently have small wells or were planning to drill new small wells. This is not the case. The ordinance deals with large scale properties that hold actual water rights as determined by the state of California. The vast majority of small domestic or irrigation wells on private property are not registered as having water rights...
The question by a resident, Eugen Gryg, is not a question at all. It is a statement of distrust based on a tremendous lack of knowledge. To compensate for benefits the CBD could provide, I have a list of duties that Mr. Gryg must assume immediately to eliminate the need for this $5 a month investment in the community. For Save Our Forest: 1. Be at two work parties a month to prune and maintain hundreds of the 2,750 trees planted on the streets of Fallbrook and Pico Promenade, 2. Volunteer to Adopt-A-Tree(s) to hand water...
