MURRIETA – Raised in view of Ireland's Blarney Castle, The Breath of New Life founder Mary O'Dwyer, Ph.D., experienced a turning point that inspired her life forever. She re-envisioned herself from being ordinary and unimportant to seeing herself as a beloved child of God, Source, the Universe, with infinite and divine potential, and today she is making it easy for other women and men to do the same. That experience taught O'Dwyer that how well people feel is deeply connected...
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration announced Sept. 27 the results of an enforcement operation that spanned from May to September and resulted in significant fentanyl seizures across the United States. As part of the One Pill Can Kill initiative, the DEA and its law enforcement partners seized more than 10.2 million fentanyl pills and approximately 980 pounds of fentanyl powder during the period of May 23 through Sept. 8. The amount of fentanyl taken off the streets during this surge is equivalent to more th...

Shelby Ramsey Special to the Village News We all can measure our quality of life, but have you considered where your "visual quality of life" falls on the scale? Dr. Kathleen Digre, a distinguished neuro-ophthalmologist and former president of the American Headache Society and former president of the North American Neuro-ophthalmology Society, provided more insight on this. Those who experience a symptom such as photophobia likely can. "Having severe photophobia ... really...
Jane Kepley Special to the Village News Moving can be expensive, whether you’re headed a few miles away or across the country. There are the costs to rent a truck, purchase packing supplies and possibly hire professional movers – all of which may be more expensive now because of inflation. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce your costs if you plan ahead. Do you want to save money on your next move? Just follow these tips: Declutter and donate before packing up. There’s no sense in paying to move items you no longer want...
Joe Naiman Village News Reporter The Sept. 14 meeting of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors included granting a time extension to complete the infrastructure improvements for Malabar Ranch. The supervisors’ 5-0 vote extends the deadline for completion to Sept. 14, 2024. The performance completion date is when road, water, sewer, and other infrastructure improvements must be completed although homes or other lot improvements themselves are not required to be completed by that date. The Malabar Ranch project would s...
Joe Naiman Village News Reporter The speed limit on Pauma Reservation Road between State Route 76 and Adams Drive has been reduced. A first reading and introduction of the ordinance to reduce the 45 mph speed limit to 40 mph and certify the speed limit for radar enforcement was approved by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors on a 5-0 vote Sept. 14, and a 5-0 vote Sept. 28 approved the second reading and adoption. The 40 mph speed limit will be enforceable Oct. 28, although the county’s Department of Public Works may i...
Last week we learned that there is not a housing bubble; there is reduced inventory, more than normal, and that mortgage interest rates will likely reach 7% by the end of the year. In fact, my loan officer locked a buyer at 6.75% yesterday so 7 % certainly doesn’t seem that far away. Inflation has not reduced in the last week; some indicators are that despite the Funds rate increases, inflation might have actually risen in September (which we’ll know within several weeks whe...

My wife and I wish to respond to the Julie Reeder Op Ed regarding the civil rights of unborn children. We have been pro-lifers all of our lives so our input is going to have that slant to it. We believe that human life begins at inception. We also believe that if a woman does not want a child, she should use any of the many contraceptive paths available to her or demand that the man perform the contraceptive task (either by device, vasectomy, or other). If we take these precautions, we will avoid the conception taking place a... Full story
Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to The Village News When hard facts are unavailable, all too often, “they say” becomes the fall back for unsubstantiated facts; like, “most accidents happen within a few miles of the home.” Truth be told, upon a closer look, it just may be the home that is causing the harm. And that is why staying uninjured can be a challenge. Need I point out, none of us want to look out the rear window of an ambulance on a mad dash to the ER? Here are spaces around the house which can cause serious... Full story
Julie Reeder Publisher I have a couple questions. “Do you trust your life and the life of your loved ones with Sacramento politicians or your doctor?” “Who gets to decide what is ‘Misinformation’ or not?” Science involves the debate and work of people with political, academic and scientific contrary ideas, and the freedom to work without government interference and censorship. Governor Newsom just signed into law AB 2098. Assemblyman Evan Low said this bill declares that disinformation and promotion of COVID-19 misinformat... Full story
Why do old men write their life stories? My happenings today may give a hint. Came home from the doctor with a prescription that I was told might be a help. Put my key in the front door deadlock – I couldn’t turn it! Went down to the garage phone but couldn’t reach my son. Went back upstairs, not knowing what else to do. I was thumbing through a magazine. I’d picked up yesterday’s mail on the way in. David, who delivers the meals from the Fallbrook Senior Center, arrived upon the scene. I told him my sad story. “Let me t... Full story
Assemblymember Marie Waldron 75th District As any Economics 101 student knows, when the federal government creates billions/trillions of dollars out of thin air, the result is massive inflation. That inflation has now reached a 40-year high, and those with low and moderate incomes are bearing the heaviest burden. Even so, Californians pay more. Compared to national averages, Californians pay a 46% premium for gasoline, (now approaching $7 a gallon), a 37.4% premium for diesel fuel, a 73% premium on residential electricity,... Full story
I will refer to the author of the subject letter as “author.” The author requested me to sit this one out, but alas, duty calls. I’m pleased to announce, though, that no unicorns were harmed in the production of this letter. And I promise not to mention men who get pregnant. To the author, apparently you were unaware of the following: 1. The majority of abortions now are chemical (or medical) abortions, not surgical. 2. “According to a 2018 report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, abortio... Full story
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District On Friday, Sept. 23, the SANDAG Board of Directors (after feeling pressure from the public) decided to remove the per-mile tax from the Regional Transportation Plan. In case you missed it, last year, SANDAG’s Board of Directors voted to approve a $165 billion transportation plan, making it the most expensive transportation plan ever. One of the ways they planned to fund the whole project was by charging San Diegans for every mile they drive. I want to thank everyone who spoke out against S... Full story
