My parents retired and moved to Bonsall in 1974. Both were avid golfers and began enjoying the beautiful course known as San Luis Rey Downs nestled along the periphery of the San Luis Rey River basin. They have since passed on and my family occupied their home in 1997 to raise our family. We enjoy the peaceful setting and serenity of the course as we drive along it on a daily basis. The course was skillfully interwoven into the natural wilderness setting which remains to this day. Having its source at the heights of Mt....
As registered nurses and Fallbrook Healthcare District residents, red flags went up for us when we read last week’s Village News. How can this be? For those who may not know, our little community hospital is operated by the largest for-profit corporation in America – Community Health Systems (CHS), which made $265 million in profits in 2013, according to Fortune magazine. It seems the healthcare district has already spent some of our money on a consultant’s report and held months of closed-door meetings leading up to...
Fallbrook Hospital and the Fallbrook Healthcare District (FHD) are negotiating temporary financial assistance for the hospital. Healthcare district funds come from property taxes and would be offered to the for-profit Fallbrook Hosptial (CHS) in return for some downstream lease advantage to FHD.

Fallbrook Hospital is one o...

SAN DIEGO – Perhaps thanks to professional sports leagues, concussions have become a hot-button issue within the medical community. Rules changes in the National Football League were enacted to protect players not only from concussions, but from further injury after suffering a concussion. Beginning with the 2010 season, NFL players who were diagnosed with a concussion during a game were not allowed to re-enter the game and were subjected to thorough testing in the days...

A 15 to 24 inch diameter pot or 24 to 36 inch long window box is a good starting size. Bigger containers hold more plants and moisture longer, so...
