Fitness invigorates a community. Connections strengthen it. From the game's humble start, pickleball has exploded in popularity. It has been...

  • How to unlock your best health

    Shelby Ramsey, Special to the Village News|Updated Aug 30, 2024

    Strike "it's all luck." Highlight effort. Gravitate towards selecting balanced choices. Fantastic health is not something everyone can achieve. Tricky health diagnoses strike. Whether us, a friend, or a loved one, we will experience chronic illness and disease in our lifetime. It is just a fact of life. I'm far from pessimistic; I'm proactive. Dedication, awareness, and commitment are three actions that we can be in the driver seat of. My goal is to do all I can to prevent, le...

  • California's job crisis

    Supervisor Jim Desmond, 5th District|Updated Aug 30, 2024

    California has long been celebrated as a land of opportunity, but in recent years, it has become increasingly unfriendly to businesses.

  • Kicking It around the Swamp, Part 2

    Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal, Special to The Village News|Updated Aug 30, 2024

    Apparently, Trump didn’t get the slam. Because unafraid of threats, he climbed on Air Force One, flew across the Pacific, and met with North Korea’s leader Kim Jung Un. The threats to bomb California stopped. In the last year of his presidency, none of their bogus accusations stuck to DJT. Worse still, after three years of his government, Americans started believing they were endowed with inalienable rights to govern themselves. Clearly, he would win reelection and this time,... Full story
