While some homeowners engage in different repairs and fix-ups out of necessity, many others like to freshen-up their spaces out of personal preference instead of need. But even the most well-intentioned projects can be waylaid if budgets are tight. What many homeowners may not realize is that there are many ways to make updates and changes to a home that do not r... Full story
As I look back over my previous articles, I noticed that since 2013 we have what I suggest is a new normal of high temperatures for August-September. I checked the weather projections and learned that temperatures for the next 7-10 days for Southern California are for over 100 degrees. If you are participating in my prescribed practice of allowing a summer rest for your roses, you still have several weeks to take it easy before a mid-season pruning. As a wise man once said,...

Trudy Lieberman Rural Health News Service The House of Representatives is likely to take up legislation this fall that was passed by the Senate that gives terminally ill patients the right to try unproven, experimental drugs that are not yet on the market. Thirty-seven states have already passed similar legislation. It may sound like terrific news for very sick patients with few or no treatment options left, but the issue deserves a much deeper look thanks to its potential impact on people’s pocketbooks and health. “The pub...
The American Counseling Association Special to Village News It’s an unfortunate situation, and one that happens all too frequently that people get trapped in an unhealthy and abusive relationship.

It also includes sexual and emotional abuse. And while it’s pretty clear that if someone hits, pushes, slaps or shakes the other person that...
