Chronic kidney disease is more common than people may realize. The organizers behind World Kidney Day (in March) indicate that roughly one in 10 people across the globe have CKD, which can develop at any age. The prevalence of CKD underscores how significant a threat it poses to the general public. In addition to its impact on public health, CKD also exerts a financial strain on countries across the globe. For instance, a recent report from NHS Kidney Care in England...
Shelby Ramsey Special to the Village News Growing up, stretching was always suggested to me before joining any competitive sport on the field or court. Did I? No. Why? Because I didn't think it mattered. I was unaware of any benefit. I associated it as only being necessary if you were prone to injury. Nowadays stretching is a daily habit and practice of mine. The top 5 benefits of stretching: • It wakes your body up Your muscles and ligaments benefit by becoming more f...

Jean Larsen Legacy Endowment Community Foundation On the cusp of finishing out the 2023 year, what a year it’s been. Gladly, many people have figured out what to buy family and friends for holiday gift giving, so they can put their minds to work on making other people’s lives filled with joy, merriment and surprises during the year-end festivities. On this topic, I extend a few thoughts for wrapping up year-end donations, not only from the heart, but also for the taxman. If you are over that 70+ year-old threshold and you...

Joe Naiman Village News Reporter Bonsall High School had enough girls volleyball players for both a varsity team and a junior varsity squad for the 2023 season.

Joe Naiman Village News Reporter Back On Track was foaled in California, sold at a Kentucky yearling sale, and returned to California after being claimed by Paula Capestro. The two-year-old filly was at the San Luis Rey Training Center between the time she was brought to California and Dec. 1, when she was shipped to Del Mar for the third race that day. She won that six-furlong race by 5 1/2 lengths. "This is what we hoped would happen," said Capestro, who is both the owner...

Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to The Village News This is the month to dust off the New Testament and read the Gospel according to Saint Luke. The grandkids are old enough now to sit on the couch with me taking turns reading the scripture leading up to the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. The story reminds me why, like a Miss America candidate, I, too, wish for “World Peace.” I wish to be safe in my home, on my community streets, and in the village where I live. I wish to be safe in my county, my state, and my cou... Full story
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District Our final Tuesday board meeting of the year was also our longest of the year. It took about 13 hours, but I want to thank everyone for coming down and calling in. Here is a recap of some of the good and bad from the meeting. The Board of Supervisors approved allocating another $3 million for migrant services. I was the lone "no" vote, as this is no way to run a government. The county has already spent $3 million in local dollars, which ran out in less than three months. Now, more money... Full story
I think that when the Fallbrook Community Planning Group is against rezoning the parking lot, as stated in the last two meetings, that’s denying the rezoning. “What if we don’t like what you plan to do with it?” The community has started to bypass and will bypass FCPG. Several businesses have done so in the past. As stated by FCPG when Happy Jug was replaced by McDonalds, “FCPG can’t tell people what to do with their land.” If I’m not mistaken…also in the Fallbrook revitalization plan, the county noted Fallbrook has exc...

Assemblymember Marie Waldron 75th District A study by the U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission shows that 35 billion gallons of toxic waste water has flowed across the border through the Tijuana River this year; and more than 100 billion gallons since 2018. Local beaches were forced to close and local businesses and tourism have taken major hits. On Dec. 1 my office participated in an informational hearing about Cross-Border Pollution called by the Senate Select Committee on California-Mexico Cooperation that was... Full story
I get these questions a lot. When will housing prices fall? Will there be a housing market crash? When is the best time to purchase a house? Everything I read and listen to indicates that “no,” there isn’t going to be a housing market crash. Prices may flatten if mortgage interest rates rise and continue to lock buyers out of the market but even that is a changing dynamic as rates have dropped from +8% to currently in the low 7%, and even into the high 6% with certain governme...
