Ms. Forrest, the fact that you have to ask what’s wrong with the schools, tells me you are part of the problem. That, and the smarter-than-thou attitude. I didn’t include my background because I wasn’t sure I’d get a typical response from a teacher who wholly supports the union or works for them. Here goes. Sandra, I was a fully accredited secondary education teacher literally before you were born. My mother was a teacher. My sister was a teacher. My best friend was a teacher. In the mid 70s, I saw the schools taken over by... Full story

Dr. Tom Roben Special to the Village News As a physician, the last thing I want is for a patient to make decisions about their health and well-being based on the cost of care and medication rather than their actual care needs. Right now is a critical time for the over 6.7 million individuals in California who rely on Medicare for their health insurance. Evaluating your own health care needs can help you select a plan that will cover you when you need it the most and fit within your budget. While it’s impossible to foresee a...
Julia Ross, MA, NTS Special to the Village News Are you plagued with cravings for sweet, starchy, and fatty junk food? Despite the concerns that so many of us have about our diets, staying away from health-destructive foods has been a losing battle. Today’s mostly processed food diet contains little protein and lots of nutrient-void fats, sugars, and starches that intoxicate and addict the brain rather than nourish it. Our brain’s appetite chemistry is dependent on specific nutrients and the problem is that our foo...
Megan Johnson McCullough Special to the Village News Chronic, lingering wrist pain that causes discomfort for daily living activities may be attributed to carpal tunnel syndrome. When pain, tingling and/or numbness is felt in some of the fingers, there can be nerve compression. The uncomfortable feeling can be attributed to the median nerve. This nerve runs down the arm, through the wrist and to the fingers. The route the nerve takes is through the carpal "tunnel." Movement...

Joe Naiman Village News Reporter The North County Fire Protection District adjusted the fees charged for NCFPD ambulance calls. A 5-0 NCFPD board vote Tuesday, Sept. 26, approved the new ambulance fee schedule. The fees will increase by approximately 7.5%. “That’s an annual inflator off of San Diego’s CPI,” NCFPD fire Chief Keith McReynolds said. “We can raise fees accordingly.” In September 2016, the NCFPD board adopted a policy which provides an automatic annual rate increase for ambulance service based on the annual Cons...

Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to The Village News A few weeks ago, my granddaughter Autumn flew down from the Sacramento area with her under-2 year old twin boys. It turned out to be a whirlwind visit. Naturally, she was thoroughly prepared for this expedition. I thought I was too. After all, we did a thorough house cleaning from the floor up to our waists. Or so we thought. I’d forgotten how long a two-year-olds arms can be. Apparently, someone at the car rental agency took pity on her because even though mommy only p... Full story
Assemblymember Marie Waldron 75th District Red Ribbon Week – Oct. 23 to 31 – delivers a strong anti-drug message to school children nationwide. I strongly support this annual program, and again this year my office is distributing thousands of Red Ribbon certificates to schools throughout the 75th Assembly District. In 2021, there were almost 6,000 overdose deaths in California – most of them fentanyl-related. That’s an increase of 121% in three years. Fentanyl has become the number one killer of persons aged 18 to 45 in San... Full story
Lindsay tries to make the case that she’s open minded and capable of making reasonable decisions – then demolishes her case, thusly. She says: “it made zero sense for me to take the [Covid-19] vaccine.” Apparently she gave no weight to the recommendations of Dr. Fauci, a respected immunologist, and the CDC, and instead, went with then President Trump’s frequently (and falsely) repeated “it will go away.” To Lindsay: If you think you challenge everything, have you tried challenging your own logic? Regarding Covid vaccine... Full story
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District Let's start with some great news! Thanks to the unwavering efforts of SANDAG Board members, led by San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones, we have successfully eliminated the mileage tax from the transportation plan. Mayor Jones pushed vigorously for this issue to be heard and got most of her colleagues to remove this tax. It's a significant win for San Diego County! However, our work is far from over. SANDAG is still actively pursuing its $160 billion transportation plan, and with the mileage tax... Full story

Julie Reeder Publisher I went to REINS Country Hoedown Saturday night. What a great event for a great cause, helping our special needs residents.

We try to attend as many events as we can. On Oct. 28, I’m attending the gala for the Fallbrook Food Pantry which vets those in need and provides food for their families. If... Full story
