Joe Naiman Village News Reporter Practice for Fallbrook High School’s girls swim team began Feb. 6, although many of the girls are also on the Warriors’ water polo team which had two CIF playoff matches and did not conclude competition until Feb. 11. The CIF prohibits Sunday practice, so the water polo players and others returned to the Fallbrook High School pool Feb. 13 and had four days of practice before losing three weeks of pool time. “There was an issue with the pool pump. The motor decided it didn’t want to work an...

Shelby Ramsey Special to the Village News Most people are familiar with chiropractic care, where a trained and educated specialist uses their hands or a small instrument to adjust the spine in order to reduce nerve interference, relieve pain, and improve body function. But how many have heard of Cranial Facial Release – a chiropractic adjustment "above the neck" specifically targeting the cranium? An expert on this intriguing topic is chiropractor Dr. Adam Del Torto, who s...

Gig Conaughton County of San Diego Communications Office County public health officials are encouraging at-risk San Diegans to get simple blood or skin tests to find out if they may unknowingly have a tuberculosis infection as the world observed World Tuberculosis Day Friday, March 24.

The alarm clock reverberates your hardly restored body hours before the sky welcomes the sun. The morning temperatures are frigid yet is quickly combated with a sweat-inducing day of labor. Your energy declines as fast as the sun, yet the thought of supporting a family overseas engenders more energy to expend over another two hours of work. Fallbrook is an unsuspecting luscious gem we have the luxury of calling home. Our fruitful environment attracts motivated workers who offer their labor in exchange for a subjectively... Full story
I just watched the movie starring James Cagney as George M. Cohan, "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and the songs "You're a Grand Old Flag" and "Over There." What an exciting jolt of patriotism, which brought to mind President Trump's “Make America Great Again.” Sadly, our country has lost this enthusiastic spirit of pride. We need that now! Whether you like President Trump or not, his accomplishments are legendary. He secured the southern border, kept the economy stable, kept negotiations with the world strong, and he was keeping us...

Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District I’m sure you know by now, but a significant sinkhole has developed on State Route 78, causing havoc for commuters in North County. The closure began on March 17 and has now been extended. My message this week has less to do with the sinkhole itself, but rather with the people in charge of fixing SR-78, SANDAG. While thousands of San Diegans have been affected, SANDAG continues to disregard the voters' wishes and fund SR-78. In 2004, San Diegans approved a half-cent sales tax that p... Full story

Joe Naiman Special to the Village News While having lunch with my parents, I mentioned that I had recently seen one of my childhood friends. My mother reminded my father that we carpooled together when we were in junior high school. The advantages of carpooling thus include not only reduced gas consumption and decreased traffic congestion but also social benefits. At this point, the biggest disadvantage of carpooling is that everybody has to return at the same time. Enactment of a vehicle miles traveled tax could change... Full story
Assemblymember Marie Waldron 75th District There are over 400,000 people living with Down syndrome in the United States. About 5,100 babies are born with Down syndrome each year, about one in every 772 births, making it the most commonly occurring chromosomal condition. In 1866, an English doctor named John Langdon Down published a scholarly work describing persons with Down syndrome, which earned him recognition as the syndrome’s “father.” Later research determined that the syndrome is caused by a full or partial copy of ch...

Senator Brian W. Jones 40th District The Legislative Session at the State Capitol is underway and things are picking up quickly. Next week, I will be presenting two bills in the Senate Public Safety Committee: Senate Bill 31 will help clean up homeless encampments that are near sensitive areas like parks and schools.
