America Counts Special to The Village News This story is part of an occasional series on the important community benefits that come from responding to the 2020 census. Baby boomers have changed the face of the U.S. population for more than 70 years and continue to do so as more enter their senior years, a demographic shift often referred to as a “gray tsunami.” The 2020 census will provide the most up-to-date count of the baby-boom generation, now estimated at about 73 million. Born after World War II, from 1946 to 1964, the...

Special to The Village News No, those New Year’s resolutions you made weren’t a bad idea. The fact that you haven’t been successful in reaching those goals may seem a problem, but the reality is that it’s also a very fixable problem. The middle of January is about when most people give up on those resolutions that, back Jan. 1, they swore they were going to succeed at this year. So what went wrong? In most cases, a variety of things. The most common is that people often promise themselves too much. they want to lose 20 poun...
SACRAMENTO – The Senate Health Committee blocked Senate Bill 486 by Sen. Patricia Bates, R-Laguna Niguel, that would have prohibited commercially-operated substance abuse recovery residences, also known as sober living homes, from engaging in patient brokering. “It’s sad that today’s decision means that patient brokering for sober living homes will continue for the foreseeable future,” Bates said. “While passing any kind of state legislation regulating sober living homes is challenging given potential conflicts with federa...
Happy 2020! Alas, I can now share what happened over the holidays. Truth of the matter is that we took a 32-day round trip cruise through the Panama Canal. Surprise! This was on our bucket list of things to do and now we’ve done it. I would recommend it as a no hassle voyage. Furthermore, with the originating and ending port of call being San Diego, it was convenient to take the Coaster down to the Santa Fe Depot and walk two blocks to board the Rotterdam cruise ship. The main...

University Of California San Francisco Special to Village News Brain imaging of pathological tau-protein “tangles” reliably predicts the location of future brain atrophy in Alzheimer’s disease patients a year or more in advance, according to a new study by scientists at the University of California San Francisco Memory and Aging Center. In contrast, the location of amyloid “plaques,” which have been the focus of Alzheimer’s research and drug development for decades, was found to be of little utility in predicting how damage...

While the closing of Myrtle Creek Botanical Gardens and Nursery in Fallbrook is a sad one for many locals, the opening of Trademark Venues’ new location at the old San Luis Rey Golf Club may ease the pain. Walking onto the property, the overall feel of the property still reminds one of the old golf course, but upon entering the courtyard, visitors notice the foliage and displays that are so reminiscent of the old Myrtle Creek property. Stepping into the Myrtle Boutique, it’s hard to remember that it used to be a pro shop bac...
