I would like to add my two cents. I was in Patrick Rusnell’s sixth grade La Paloma class one of the first years the mile was added. Milena Glusac was predicted to win it from Bonsall Elementary School (BES). Pat coached me to a 6:04 record mile time that beat Milena by 30 seconds. I was proud to win for La Paloma. Bonsall has been great since way back then, winning many of the trophies. Check the stats. I love running and Don Dornon is where I developed my drive to compete. I am now the Sullivan Cross Country coach. I have t...

Morton J. Grabel, Attorney at Law Special to the Village News Most couples do not receive any real benefit from a legal separation compared to a divorce. It’s only suitable when you no longer want to be married, but for personal reasons, divorce is not an option. For example, you may want to keep your spouse on your insurance until everything else is resolved. In California, however, there may be one other advantage. If time is of the essence and you haven't lived in California for six months, you can accelerate the d...
