Mr. Robert F. Green’s commentary in the opinion section of the January 12, 2006, issue deserves a response. Mr. Green, we have been hearing these types of statements from the time the first American soldier set foot on Iraq’s sand. Even before anyone had a chance to find anything the Left began to trumpet their pre-scripted accusations and it has been their mantra ever since. I wonder where Robert F. Green was about 14 years ago, when the first UN inspectors left Iraq with a frighteningly long list of WMDs they found there. A... Full story
With just five minutes to go in the Steelers-Colts playoff game last Sunday, NFL Referee Pete Morelli made a terrible call against the Steelers. On Monday, the NFL made a rare statement saying that Morelli was wrong. Thankfully for Steelers fans, Big Ben’s bruisers prevailed in spite of the game-changing call. Unlike the continuing prosperity of the Steelers, two western Pennsylvania steel tube producers have laid off workers and face the prospect of plant closings in response to competition from low-cost Chinese imports. S...
After his stunning defeat at the polls, Governor Schwarzenegger realized that his popularity is greatly diminished and that he needs to re-position himself toward the center if he has any hope of getting re-elected. So, how does he go about this? By dropping the old Newt Gingrich-style, neo-Conservative, business-oriented, Scrooge-like policies of last year and switching to huge public works policies that will put people to work and placate the teachers, firemen, police and so on. Nothing wrong with the switch in policies... Full story
Whether Bush, Blair and Howard knowingly misled the public on WMD or whether they made a genuine mistake is beside the point. The fact remains that the decision to invade Iraq was made by them, as executives of their nation states, and no one else. The various intelligence agencies may have been wrong, but the decision to invade was not theirs, and therefore the responsibility of outcome is not theirs. Perhaps too many people have forgotten the concept of being the boss, “The buck stops here,” and the true meaning of del... Full story

Thank you for your front page coverage and the story “Concern over teen choices heightens.” I grew up in Fallbrook but now live out of town. I regularly read the Village News either online or when I return to visit my family. I was very saddened to read of the death of Athena Harris in a tragic car accident. When I read the story online, I told my wife, “Another Fallbrook teen died in a car accident. You know, John told me that there wasn’t one death between 1999 and 2003 when they had the Choices programs going. Isn’t t...
A few weeks ago an earthly angel was taken from us. Her name was Athena; most of us knew her as Thena. Somewhere the A got lost. Thena was a regular teenager. She loved life. She was known at Ivy High School for her helping hand with other students. On Wednesday afternoons she would go via the local bus line to Escondido for extra classes so she could graduate as soon as possible. Athena was active in her church, Rainbow Seventh-Day Adventist. She and her mom went to church together often, Cynthia sitting with her arm around...

Jai is served on New Year’s Day and is said to have cleansing properties. This recipe is also known as “Lo Han Jai” and ingredients included in other variations could be: dried fungus (cloud ears), ginkgo nuts, lotus root, dried oysters, lily stems, seaweed hair, fried tofu and dried bean curd sticks. However, some prefer not to use tofu because it is white and some believe that the color white is a symbol of death. 2 T. vegetable oil 8 Chinese black mushrooms (soak in hot water for ten minutes, squeeze excess water, remov...
In her rich, soulful voice Robin Adler sings “I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now, from up and down, and still somehow…it’s clouds illusions I recall; I really don’t know clouds at all.” The familiar tune is one that Joni Mitchell wrote back in the sixties. Adler is immersing herself in Mitchell’s songs in preparation for an upcoming concert at the Fallbrook Holistic Center on Saturday, February 25 at 7:00 p.m. Adler’s husband Dave Blackburn will accompany her on “guitars.” No, that isn’t a typo. He will play a variet...

FALLBROOK — Fallbrook High girls lacrosse head coach Linda Cook commented that donations from the Car Club help “keep our club team alive.” Lacrosse is a CIF-sanctioned sport but is not funded by the school. The team members must pay for their participation in the club. “Other than having to provide our own funds, we operate just as any other high school sports team, including having league and conference playoffs. The Fallbrook Car Club has been generous in helping offset the cost of field space, uniforms and referee...

SAN DIEGO — San Diego County Board of Supervisors’ Chairman Bill Horn today said the county has filed a lawsuit in federal court against the state, challenging medical marijuana laws. Contrary to federal law, which makes the possession and use of marijuana a federal crime, the state has approved Proposition 215, which allows the use of medical marijuana. In addition, the State Legislature passed a law mandating the county to issue medical marijuana identification cards to persons who use marijuana for medical purposes. “Fe...
Television and films keep the public informed, entertained and advised of new products and treatments, provide interest for the bedridden and act as a ‘babysitter” for working parents. However, too much of any good thing has its negatives. TV and film watching is a sedentary behavior which aggravates our risk for obesity, type 2 diabetes and alcoholism. Seeing movies that feature characters drinking alcohol can predispose young adolescents to experiment with alcohol at an early age, concludes a study led by Dartmouth Medical...

SAN DIEGO — It has long been a challenge for San Diego County’s rural residents to be able to access a full scope of clinical and specialty services. Many rural patients are low-income, medically uninsured and suffer from a disproportionately high rate of chronic diseases, but they are also geographically isolated and often lack adequate transportation. For those who have the means, visiting a hospital or specialist would require a 90-minute drive and most patients are unable or unwilling to do so. In order to address thi... Full story
