This week, I want to share some of the accomplishments we've had in North County and talk about what I'm focused on when it comes to behavioral health!

Over the past week or so, we have experienced five AT&T landline telephone outages at our home in Fallbrook. The fifth outage occurred this morning, Friday, Jan. 28. No dial tone on either of our two telephone lines. In each previous case, AT&T said it was their fault, not ours. We were first told by AT&T that there was a bad “line card” that took out six lines, then later told that many more lines were impacted by other equipment problems at a distance, so the scope of the ongoing problem is unknown. We live near the corner... Full story

I am old enough to remember how the press treated Ronald Reagan as basically a mental lightweight not worthy of the office. The press... Full story
My, such outrage! Misplaced, of course. Yes, there are many people struggling to make ends meet, and some live in Fallbrook. But the majority here are able to pay their bills and still have discretionary funds to pay for at least some of their wants. And it is those to whom I speak. I certainly wasn’t proposing that anyone sell their first-born in order to buy a water flosser. Concerning the “brilliant” letter by Myers: I failed to see any luster. He said he deals only in facts. But he also said “The CDC will not address immu... Full story
Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to The Village News In this new year, here are some things worth sharing. Life is a one act play. You need to enjoy it as it comes. That is why we celebrate birthdays. Eat dessert first. Believe in yourself. After all, if what you want is easy – everybody would be doing it. Follow your heart and you will find happiness.
