Wendy Hammarstrom Special to Village News One of the fascinating things about Fallbrook I noticed since my first day here is the abundance of wise and creative women of all ages, each with their own story to tell. I recently met Alicia Santacroce, who is in her mid-80s and has the spirit and grace of a young woman. Known by many for her goat cheese with the garlic and herbs she grows, much of her time is taken up with her anthroposophy studies based on the work of Rudolf Stein... Full story

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – As people get outside this spring, have they considered how green spaces contribute to their health? Studies show that green space and landscaping contribute to health, happiness and intellect. It’s natural to long for spring when it’s cold outside. But there’s actually a good reason why people may pine for green? Living landscapes are an important part of the outdoor lifestyle that Americans enjoy, but the benefits go beyond the barbecue and backyard baseball. Green spaces are necessary for good health....
NEW YORK CITY– With spring on the horizon, many women may be tempted to visit the tanning salon in an effort to banish pale winter skin. However, those hoping for a “healthy glow” should be aware that indoor tanning causes severe damage to the skin’s DNA, upping their chances of skin cancer and premature skin aging. There is no such thing as a healthy tan achieved by unprotected exposure to ultraviolet rays. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, an affiliate of the World Health Organization, includes UV tanning...

The Arts District is like Balboa Park, with both visual and performing arts sharing the 68 acres and 19 contiguous blocks. The Dallas Arts District unifies culture and commerce with integrated and exemplary artistic, residential, cultural, educational, recreational, religious and commercial life. The art in public places unite... Full story

Mike Schneider The Associated Press The 2020 census is off and running for much of America now. The U.S. Census Bureau made a soft launch of the 2020 census website Monday, March 9, making its form available online. On Thursday, the Census Bureau will begin mailing out notices far and wide. For the bureau, the once-a-decade head count is akin to running a sprint and marathon at the same time. It takes a while, but there’s plenty of action throughout. “It is that intense ... counting up to 330 million people in a very diverse,...
Kathy Gannon and Rahim Faiez The Associated Press The United States began withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, the U.S. military said Tuesday, March 10, taking a step forward on its peace deal with the Taliban while also praising Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's promise to start releasing Taliban prisoners after he had delayed for over a week. The U.S.-Taliban deal signed Feb. 29 was touted as Washington's effort to end 18 years of war in Afghanistan. The next crucial step was...
Michelle R. Smith and Collin Binkley The Associated Press When the new coronavirus surfaced at Saint Raphael Academy after a school group returned from a trip to Italy, officials decided to close the Rhode Island Catholic high school for two weeks. Instead of canceling classes, the school in Pawtucket instituted "virtual days" where students are expected to work from home, check for assignments through an online portal and occasionally chat with teachers. A few miles away, a...

Intending to calm the fears of financial markets over the impact of the epidemic, Trump told reporters he is seeking "very substantial relief" to the payroll tax. Trump also said he was seeking help for...
Ken Sweet AP Business Writer The third chief executive of Wells Fargo in four years appeared in front of Congress Tuesday, March 10, saying that there's much the bank needs to do to fix its cultural problems and isn't expecting it to be done until 2021. Charles Scharf took over the troubled bank late last year. He replaced Tim Sloan, who resigned in March only a couple of weeks after being lambasted by members of Congress in his own hearing. Unlike Sloan, Scharf is an...

5th District I’m not great with all of the new and ever-changing technology and I’m still getting used to Twitter, but at the county we are technologically advanced. San Diego County has a host of apps to help residents report problems, alert people to emergencies and various other resources. The “Tell us Now” app is a way for residents to report nonemergency problems including road repair, graffiti, abandoned vehicles and other issues. The “SD Emergency” app has extensive i... Full story
Jim Madaffer Special to Village News After securing more than $350 million for water supply projects in the San Diego region – along with other benefits – the San Diego County Water Authority’s board of directors Feb. 27 voted to dismiss related claims against its Los Angeles-based supplier, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. This is a major step toward resolving the litigation, in which we claimed water rights and challenged water rates and charges imposed by MWD on the Water Authority and the regio... Full story
As a new Fallbrook resident, I attended the recent Fallbrook Community Forum. I was impressed with the openness, friendliness, dedication and commitment of the participants. The experience led me to join the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce. I wish my enthusiasm extended to the proposal for our community to detach from the San Diego County Water Authority. The report involved whining about “process issues” that commonly consume public agencies. Observing the crowd, the presumption is that the affirmative case for the pro... Full story
AD-75 (R) This week California observes Arbor Day, created in 1872 by the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture. Celebrating trees is a wonderful thing. California’s observance coincides with the birthday of botanist Luther Burbank. My Assembly Concurrent Resolution 157 recognizes March 7, 2020, as California Arbor Day, and urges Californians to observe the day with appropriate tree-planting programs and activities. Tree People, California ReLeaf, and the California Urban F... Full story
Another poll with its usual sprinkling of bad judgment and residual bad taste. The San Diego Democratic party polls, with support from the building and trades, with their “No” recommendation, caused the failure of Measure A. The people in North County, where the exploitation of rural acreage is basically centered, were hard over for A passage. Since the Democratic party said, “Too many loopholes,” be assured that next time it will have narrowed exceptions. The party erred. But voters of all persuasions did drive a stake t... Full story
FALLBROOK – Whether home improvement projects are designed to improve the interior or exterior of a house, focusing on renovations that make the most financial sense can benefit homeowners in the long run. The right renovations can be assets if and when homeowners decide to sell their homes. So how does one get started? First and foremost, speak to a local real estate agent who is knowledgeable about trends in the community. While a swimming pool may be something coveted in one area, it may impede sales in another. It also he...
