Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District When I was elected Supervisor four years ago, I made behavioral health a top priority. Behavioral health and homelessness go hand in hand and, unfortunately, many of the people who end up living on our streets are suffering mentally and aren't given the proper medicine or care to help stabilize them. Four years ago, North County was at a crossroads when it came to behavioral health. The suspension of the 22 inpatient beds and 12 crisis stabilization unit chairs, coupled with Palomar... Full story
Everyone has a lot to be thankful for this year. We are fortunate to live in this vibrant and beautiful community of Fallbrook. Now let me give you some ideas on year-end tax planning issues to consider. First of all, there are only three places your wealth and legacy can go, including: the government in taxes, your family and charities. If you have enough for your family and I know no one wants to give to the government as they already have taken their share, the logical answer is to give it to worthy charities. I am now...

By Julie Reeder Publisher The first in a series unwrapping what Critical Race Theory is, its origin and the cultural revolution it is bringing to America.

Once again, the pollsters, pundits, and political prognosticators got it wrong. The midterm election results were more like an ankle-slapper in a rainbow-colored kiddy pool than a crimson tsunami washing over the four corners of our country. With the stench of societal decay wafting in the air, somehow, the Democrats escaped near-certain political annihilation at the polls. Despite the hyperinflation ravaging our economy, the protracted invasion at our southern border, and the unsettling hostilities in our cities, urban... Full story
Joe Naiman Special to the Village News The Christian station on my car radio began playing Christmas songs on Thanksgiving Day. The explanation was essentially that they celebrate the birth of the Savior all year long and that includes Thanksgiving Day to Christmas Eve. With that in mind, certain apparently secular Christmas literature might not be so secular. Although the birth of Jesus and his redemption of our sins took place at different times of the year, Christmas and Easter are interdependent upon each other. Without... Full story
Maynard. His attempt at character assassination on Biden reminds me of an ornate outhouse. They’re both quite something to see and they both stink! Democrats chose Biden because he gets the job done. In his first year, he signed the following bills that largely assist working class citizens: 1 American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion package to bolster the U.S.’s recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. 2. Paycheck Protection Program and the COVID-19 Bankruptcy Relief Extension Act, extending the protections they provide. 3. Inf... Full story

Bob Hillery CR Properties As this will be my last real estate article for the current year, I thought it might be interesting to review what transpired during 2022 which might have impacted real estate and our overall economy. Since real estate is one of the largest influences in the U.S. economy, it’s easy to understand how the health of real estate and the economy are related. Mortgage interest rates started the year in the mid-low 3% and doubled to over 7% in October before settling down in the current mid 6% range. Its e...
Joe Naiman Village News Reporter Fallbrook High School head field hockey coach Debbie Berg and her players would have preferred a win rather than a loss in the CIF Division I championship game Nov. 12 at La Costa Canyon High School, when Valley Center won the championship with a 2-1 victory over the Warriors, but for Berg and her players a loss in the final is preferable to a loss in the Division I quarterfinals which is what happened with the Warriors last year. “Good progress,” Berg said.
