SAN DIEGO (CNS) - After efforts to keep people from gathering at the beach proved insufficient, the city of Carlsbad announced today it will prohibit parking along nearly six miles of state-owned coastline starting Friday. Carlsbad closed the northernmost beach controlled by the city on March 23 and has made formal requests that the state follow suit with beaches under its jurisdiction. To date, the state has closed beach parking lots, but not the beach. Most other beaches in the county are closed, resulting in a huge influx...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego County health officials amended public health orders today, shutting down park and beach parking lots and mandating that people in essential industries who interact with the public must wear facial coverings, effective Friday at midnight. These industries include pharmacies, grocery stores and gas stations. Any park or beach still open in the county must close parking lots, making the space accessible only to residents who can walk there. County Public Health Officer Dr. Wilma Wooten also said that...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 10 million Americans have lost their jobs and applied for unemployment benefits in the past two weeks — a stunning record high that reflects the near-complete shutdown of the U.S. economy. Job losses related to the coronavirus are sure to rise further in coming weeks, with economists saying the U.S. unemployment rate could reach as high as 15%, well above the 10% peak during the Great Recession. As recently as February, the unemployment rate was just 3.5%, a 50-year low. For those who have sud...
The Affordable Care Act, nicknamed “Obamacare,” turns 10 years old this month, and what a tumultuous run the health care law has had. The law’s rocky existence hasn’t smoothed out yet, and it faces additional scrutiny by the U.S. Supreme Court in the fall, the result of more legal challenges to its future. Nevertheless, the occasion of the law’s 10th birthday is a good time to take stock of what it has done and what it has not. How have Americans been helped? What serious challenges facing the health care system remain? N...

Wendy Hammarstrom Special to Village News Disclaimer: I am not a nutritionist or a doctor. These tips are based on what I have learned through dealing with my own health issues over the years, and what I have observed that works for my clients, friends and family. What people ingest can enhance or weaken their immune system. When they reduce inflammation, they improve their immune system. In order to maintain an anti-inflammatory diet, people must cut out sugar, gluten, dairy...
Cabin fever is a real phenomenon. Stir crazy. Solitary confinement. Isolation. All of these are symptoms associated with this lockdown and run contrary to human nature. Especially for an extrovert such as myself. Naturally, the gym is closed. Everyone has an extended membership. I pushed mine back to July 1 or earlier, whichever comes first. Although it didn’t matter for me, since I was under self-isolation to ensure my good health when headed to Europe. Certainly that trip d...

Any cruise ship that is permitted to...
If you ever find yourself yelling, “How many times have I told you?” then you’re likely aware that words often are not going to fix many problems. Instead they find that the very behavior that drives them crazy continues to occur. People are often frustrated because they’re talking when they really ought to be acting. The common expression is, “Actions speak louder than words,” and that’s often true in personal relationships. The cure is to take action that gets the message across. Take that toddler in your house who wou...
FALLBROOK – Humans are made up mostly of water. According to the U.S. Geological Survey's Water Science School, the human body is 60% water. The brain and heart are 73% water. The lungs are a whopping 83% water. Muscles and kidneys are 79% water. And of course, it's not stagnant water. Water moves throughout the body, oxygenating blood, regulating temperature, absorbing shocks to the brain and spinal cord, manufacturing hormones and neurotransmitters, lubricating joints and f...
QUINCY, Mass. – As government officials on all levels across the globe issue travel directives and ask nonessential employees to work remotely during the pandemic, once fully occupied buildings are near vacant or dramatically underused. The National Fire Protection Association, a global leader in fire, life and electrical safety, urged officials to ensure that fire protection and life safety systems be maintained in all commercial and multi-occupancy residential buildings throughout this global pandemic. They further urged t...
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – While adults are home teleworking, and children are at home participating in online educational instruction, it’s even more important during these challenging times to take a moment to get out into the family yard. The TurfMutt Foundation reminded families that nature starts right outside your back door. Let the proven benefits green space give us a break from being cooped up inside. Listen to the birds. Watch the trees. Curl your toes in the grass. Work outside planting and preparing for the budding spr...
AURORA, Ill. – From Sacramento to San Diego, Californians have been protected for years, thanks to carbon monoxide protection measures first put in place statewide in 2011, which required carbon monoxide alarms in new one and two-family dwellings, town homes not more than three stories and all existing single-family homes. By 2013, California upped the requirement to all existing dwellings. Since then, countless lives have been saved from the dangers of this invisible, odorless and potentially fatal gas. However, alarms d...
The stay at home order that went into effect March 19 not only closed schools, restaurants, theaters and gyms, it also closed churches which have responded in a variety of ways. While some churches were already streaming their services online, many churches did not even have updated websites. Now, almost all local churches are offering either livestreaming services on their websites or posting taped services on YouTube. On the website of SonRise Christian Fellowship, Pastor Greg Coppock posted a message: "We are coming...
The annual Fallbrook Avocado Festival is the biggest event organized in Fallbrook all year. So, the cancellation of the festival, which had been scheduled for April 19, due to the coronavirus outbreak is sure to impact the Fallbrook business community. In a typical year, the festival boasts about 450 vendors on Main Avenue, selling everything from food and beverages to solar panels, said Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce CEO Lila MacDonald. It also features an artisan walk on Alvarado Street, with 30 to 35 artists selling...
This letter is in response to the editorial comments from Dr. James Veltmeyer. I cannot believe an actual M.D. could be so colossally ignorant of the facts of something he is writing about a pandemic. I would strongly suggest that the good doctor allow the experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration and just about every infectious disease doctor and researcher in the world to be deciding exactly what we should do to fight this pandemic. Experts the CDC, FDA, prominent infectious...
The COVID-19 outbreak is drastically affecting the lives of millions. My offices have received calls from workers, employers, health care professionals and many more seeking information and guidance during this tumultuous time. As a result, I asked my leadership team to compile a list of resources available to workers, employers and others to help get us through this unexpected public health and financial crisis. Resources include the U.S. Small Business Administration....
I would also add that this is a wake-up call for Americans for several reasons. First bring back factories and jobs to the United States so we are not relying on other countries for anything. While we need imports and trades of certain products, we need to make sure they are not our only single supplier so when they threaten to withhold their products, we desperately need we can get it elsewhere. Stop putting all our eggs in one basket. Second, it is time for people to wise up and become financially responsible in life. If...
I have been talking to local businesses scrambling to try and figure out how to stay in business. For most business owners, if we can qualify for part of the $2 trillion bailout through the Small Business Administration it will be a temporary bandage, but we still have to be able to stay in business and pay that back. There is part of these loans that they are saying will be forgiven if we can keep from laying people off, which makes sense. To keep as many people employed as...
