I took my Nissan Rogue into Bevan Family Auto to have the horn repaired. When I dropped the car off, I asked Chris if he could do a Smog Check. He said he couldn’t and he recommended someone. The next day he called me and I saw that I had missed his call – so I called him back. He told me my car would be ready in about a half hour – he was at the smog shop having my car certified – so that I would not have to do it. I have been taking my car to Chris for several years now. I highly recommend Chris Bevan, of Bevan Family... Full story

Marie Garceau Special to the Village News St. Patrick’s Day in 2024 is not celebrated for the same reasons it once was as times change and holidays take on different meanings. While some people still see it as a family-centric Catholic celebration or a break from Lent-related restrictions, the day primarily focuses on parties, rowdy parades, green beer, bar specials and heavy drinking. Sounds fun, right? There are undoubtedly good times had by all who take part, but if you want to stay sober and avoid alcohol, it can pose a c...

During our Jan. 23 Board of Supervisors meeting, we delved into the details of Proposition 1, which is on the March ballot. I want to provide a recap of our discussion. I expressed reservations about Proposition 1's approach despite recognizing some potential benefits. The proposal seeks to rearrange funds from the county and give them to the state. This reallocation would decrease funding to our county, as highlighted by the analysis from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's... Full story

They thought they finally had both locked down with testimony from FBI informant Alexander Smirnoff, who claimed he had solid evidence implicating both Bidens in a bribery scheme. “Smirnov (falsely) reported to the FBI in June 2020 that executives associated with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid Hun...

California has been hollowed out, ravaged beyond recognition, by a rabid pack of Democrat Party demagogues who have orchestrated a seismic shift in our culture. Nothing is sacred to them – not our schools, workplaces, families, or churches. Life in California has sunk to an unfathomable low, reduced to a listless state of depravity awash in Wokeisms and anarchism. The Party of JFK has scrapped its centrist views, turned its back on the middle class, and devolved into a party of impoverished ideas. There's no denying the catac... Full story
