Assemblymember Marie Waldron 75th District Public safety should be the government's top priority. That’s why I’m supporting a new legislative initiative in Sacramento that will enhance public safety by restoring felony penalties for many crimes now plaguing California. Obviously, serious crimes demand serious consequences. One day last week, Border Patrol agents seized fentanyl, cocaine and heroin valued at $4 million from smugglers on I-8 in San Diego County, and near the Murrieta Border Patrol checkpoint in Riverside Cou...
Cassie Klapp County of San Diego Communications Office More than $29 million in affordable housing funds and 121 project-based vouchers have been awarded to nine developments by the County of San Diego's Housing and Community Development Services (HCDS). The notice of funding availability was made in July of 2022 and awards are now complete.

Below is a good article which seems to bode well for the real estate market in the near future, perhaps even spring of 2023. After interest rates peaked in October 2022 above 7%, the market slowed to a crawl. The numbers of transactions fell noticeably, which coupled with seasonably slow periods over the holidays, caused near panic in the minds of buyers and sellers alike. Inflation was at a 40-year high which further undermined consumer confidence. The good news is that...

Dr. Megan Johnson McCullough Special to the Village News Red light therapy (RLT) is a type of infrared treatment that has been shown to help improve skin, help heal body parts, and help with muscle tissue recovery/stiffness/soreness. Your body feels the heat but with RLT, the eyes don't see the light. Most people use some type of lamp, device, or laser that emits the redlight. It's all about energy.

SAN DIEGO – Burn injuries continue to be one of the leading causes of accidental death and injury where children, the elderly and the disabled are especially vulnerable. Almost one-third of all burn injuries occur in children under the age of 15. Scald burns make up a significant number of burn-related injuries treated in hospitals, and 32% of all burn-related injuries reported by hospitals to the American Burn Association were from scalds. A scald is a burn injury caused by hot liquid, steam or food. The American Burn A...
If asked to name the No. 1 killer of women, many people might be excused for providing an incorrect answer. Various issues affect women’s health, and some issues garner more attention than others. But nothing kills more women each year than cardiovascular disease, which the American Heart Association notes causes one in three deaths of women each year. That cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women each year is not the only surprising fact in regard to women and heart health. The following are some additional intere...
Heart disease is a leading cause of death across the globe. According to the World Health Organization, ischaemic heart disease is responsible for 16% of the world's total deaths. The WHO also points out that, between 2000 and 2019, deaths due to ischaemic heart disease rose by more than two million. Though not all deaths due to heart disease are preventable, many are, and researchers have discovered various ways individuals can reduce their risk for heart disease. One way ind...
ESCONDIDO – Last week, the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) announced California has received approval from the federal government to become the first state in the nation to allow specific physical and behavioral health care services for people incarcerated in state prisons to access California’s Medi-Cal system 90 days prior to their release. This positive change will allow for continuity of care as people transition from custody to freedom. Assembly Bill 1214 (Waldron, 2021) provided the framework for...

Maynard accuses me of making ad hominem attacks on him. I have not. I have only challenged the validity of many of his unsubstantiated claims. Regardless, he now envisions himself as Big Daddy who’s going to take little old me to the woodshed. I say, “In your dreams, Buster, in your dreams.” He also expresses his anger and frustration with me for being a figurative thorn in the side of his eloquent (but fact-free) oratory. He then engages in a lengthy ad hominem attack on me. Despite his “bon voyage” to me, I have no intentio...
Julie Reeder Publisher Last week I had the privilege of participating in Career Day for Potter Jr. High students. I talked to over 100 students about journalism and publishing. I love working with young people. That’s one of the reasons we will soon, God willing, announce our nonprofit, to further the work we’ve been doing for over 20 years with interns. The newspaper business has many opportunities for mentoring, whether it’s in writing and journalism, graphic design, marketing, bookkeeping, administration, photo...
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District Workforce housing and affordable housing for seniors are both vital. I want to give you an update on some progress we’ve made in this realm. The Alvarado Senior Village is a proposed senior housing project in Fallbrook. This week, the county awarded $6.1 million to partner with constructing this 54-unit facility. This is vital as this project will house very low-income seniors in need. Also, late last year, we voted unanimously to establish a rental subsidy pilot program for seniors who a...
The fact of the matter is I (may) have too much stuff. Indicators being? My closets are crowded and my dresser drawers are bulging. Truth be told, I have a collection of treasures that will be to my inheritors classified as “so much crap!” To that end, because these select items are too dear to donate, I’ve decided to turn my treasures into ca$h. But. Here is the rub. One can quietly hold a garage sale filled with all sorts of happy trash and avoid the tax man. (And, once...
Dave Maynard's letter on the topic of 'America under siege' was evidently quite triggering to John H. Terrell, who immediately did his best to deflect any responsibility from the hapless Joe Biden. Terrell's response has these general themes: (1) Inflation of prices for food and fuel in the U.S. has absolutely nothing to do with Biden. That's caused by the greedy mega-corporations, providing their goods and services for profit, according to Terrell. (2) Second reason why inflation can't be Biden's fault is because it's a...
