  • How to unlock your best health

    Shelby Ramsey, Special to the Village News|Updated Aug 30, 2024

    Strike "it's all luck." Highlight effort. Gravitate towards selecting balanced choices. Fantastic health is not something everyone can achieve. Tricky health diagnoses strike. Whether us, a friend, or a loved one, we will experience chronic illness and disease in our lifetime. It is just a fact of life. I'm far from pessimistic; I'm proactive. Dedication, awareness, and commitment are three actions that we can be in the driver seat of. My goal is to do all I can to prevent, le...

  • Kids and the sugar spiral

    Updated Aug 30, 2024

    Karlene Karst, BSc Nutrition Special to the Village News Raising healthy kids – As a nutritionist and mom of three kids ages 16, 13, and 9, I feel like I’ve seen it all regarding food. Parents face ongoing challenges in raising healthy, well-nourished children in a world where sugary temptations lurk around every corner. I learned to pick my “battles,” and just kept showing up each day in the kitchen with a variety of healthy foods, consuming healthy foods myself (role modeling is one of the best ways to encourage positiv...

  • California's job crisis

    Supervisor Jim Desmond, 5th District|Updated Aug 30, 2024

    California has long been celebrated as a land of opportunity, but in recent years, it has become increasingly unfriendly to businesses. Just last year, Chief Business Magazine ranked California as the worst place in the nation to start a business. This is a tragic turn of events, especially for a state that has been home to so many entrepreneurial dreams. It doesn't have to be this way, but unfortunately, government policies are stifling the very spirit that once made the... Full story

  • What can be done to prevent DNA-sized plastics from invading our bodies?

    Amy Denney, The Epoch Times|Updated Aug 30, 2024

    Plastics that break down into particles as tiny as our DNA – small enough to be absorbed through our skin – are released into our environment at a rate of 82 million metric tons a year. These plastics, and the mix of chemicals they are made with, are now major contributors to disease, affecting the risk of afflictions ranging from cancer to hormonal issues. Plastic pollution threatens everything from sea animals to human beings, a problem scientists, activists, business groups, and politicians are debating as they draft a glo...

  • Re: 'Together, we can prevent drug overdose with more awareness' [Village News, 8/15/24]

    Updated Aug 30, 2024

    “Drug overdose is a national health crisis fueled by the opioid epidemic.” True, but awareness should begin with addressing the root causes. The most common drugs that begin drug journeys that end in overdose are marijuana, alcohol and tobacco use among adolescents. Young people today are targeted in social media and in their environment with marijuana, tobacco and vape products that entice them with the latest cool, but addictive, products designed just for them; child-friendly and sweet. Interactive videos are a new add... Full story

  • False Democrat Party beliefs

    Updated Aug 30, 2024

    Michelle Obama spoke at the DNC convention and criticized those who "took more than they needed" and who "prioritize building their wealth over insuring that everyone has enough." This is consistent with her previously stated belief that "someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.” These are bedrocks of socialist ideals, though progressives have learned to hide from that term because it’s poorly received in America. To arrive at such an absurd position, these beliefs are based... Full story

  • Public Safety Legislation

    Assemblymember Marie Waldron, 75th District|Updated Aug 30, 2024

    I am a member of the California Problem Solvers Caucus (CPSC), a bipartisan group of legislators from both houses. The Caucus promotes common sense solutions to the most pressing issues facing our state. Lately, property crime has been escalating throughout California, and the CPSC has been pressing for solutions. I’m happy to report that those efforts have begun to bear fruit. In recent weeks a package of legislation that will tighten California laws regarding prosecution a... Full story

  • We are blessed with law enforcement and fire services

    Julie Reeder|Updated Aug 30, 2024

    Listening to the San Diego and Riverside County scanners highlights the sheer volume and variety of calls first responders handle daily.

  • Making sense of the assassination attempt

    Updated Aug 30, 2024

    Just five minutes outside the city limits of Butler Township, in the northwest corner of Pennsylvania, lies an unassuming field with patches of grass, a few strands of trees, and some small outbuildings dotting the landscape – the perfect location for a Trump rally, or so it seemed before the day erupted in pandemonium. Around 1 p.m., with Lee Greenwood's song, “God Bless the USA,” streaming through the air, President Trump stepped out onto the stage in front of a sea of supporters who were shouting “USA, USA, USA.” M... Full story

  • Kicking It around the Swamp, Part 2

    Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal, Special to The Village News|Updated Aug 30, 2024

    Apparently, Trump didn’t get the slam. Because unafraid of threats, he climbed on Air Force One, flew across the Pacific, and met with North Korea’s leader Kim Jung Un. The threats to bomb California stopped. In the last year of his presidency, none of their bogus accusations stuck to DJT. Worse still, after three years of his government, Americans started believing they were endowed with inalienable rights to govern themselves. Clearly, he would win reelection and this time,... Full story

  • Aesthetics and traffic aren't only issues with ADU proliferation

    Joe Naiman|Updated Aug 30, 2024

    I visited my parents’ house where I grew up, and an accessory dwelling unit is being built next door. As I saw the new structure across the fence from what was once my backyard I realized aesthetics and traffic won’t be the only conflicts when commercial accessory dwelling units are built next to single-family residences. I grew up near San Diego State University. Mini-dorms have been an issue since the 1980s. Recently the need for affordable housing has led local governments to be more flexible with accessory dwelling uni... Full story

  • Planting trees: Not just for glory, but for the planet

    Updated Aug 30, 2024

    Planting a tree isn't the hard part – it's the care and dedication throughout its entire lifecycle that truly matters. Just like animals and humans, trees require continuous care to thrive. Planting for personal glory might make a good photo op, but real environmental stewardship means nurturing those trees long after the cameras are gone. Trees are living beings that need water, nutrients, and protection from pests and diseases. They help combat climate change, support biodiversity, and provide essential ecosystem s...

  • Kudos to La Cucina

    Updated Aug 30, 2024

    Yes, there are a lot of good restaurants in Fallbrook, however if you haven't eaten at "La Cucina," (excellent Italian food in my opinion), you are missing out on a great experience! I just came home from eating there and decided to write a note of support for this place. The food is fresh, portions generous, served hot, delicious and served by a great wait staff who are happy, friendly, helpful, and patient. The owner always stops by to thank you and asks you if everything was all right. I would love to see lines outside... Full story
