One of my favorite memes of over the past month reads: “I guess we’re about to find out which meetings could have been emails after all.” The arrival of the COVID-19 novel virus brought the United States to a standstill, millions of Americans are likely spending more time at home over the past 30 days than they have over the past three years. Thousands and thousands of people are fighting for their lives, mostly alone, in a hospital filled with people wearing only masks, unable to show a smile with anything but their eyes....
Executive Chef Anthony Bar decided that since he was unable to continue cooking at Meritage Restaurant at Callaway Winery due to the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent quarantine orders, he would share a little bit of his knowledge in the kitchen with his followers on social media. "Most of the people, 99% of American people, don't choose to eat at home every single day," Bar said in a phone interview. "Most of them like going out to a restaurant at least three or four times a...
SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer KENSINGTON, Maryland (AP) - A two-decade-long dry spell that has parched much of the western United States is turning into one of the deepest megadroughts in the region in more than 1,200 years, a new study found. And about half of this historic drought can be blamed on man-made global warming, according to a study in Thursday's journal Science. Scientists looked at a nine-state area from Oregon and Wyoming down through California and New...

ANDREW SELSKY Associated Press SALEM, Ore. (AP) - A wolf that wandered thousands of miles from Oregon and became the first wild wolf spotted in California in almost 90 years before returning to Oregon and starting a pack is believed to be dead, wildlife officials said. The wandering wolf, known as OR7, leaves behind a pack composed of its mate and three other wolves in the mountains of southern Oregon, wildlife biologists said in an annual wolf report released Wednesday. It's...
CHRISTOPHER RUGABER and LORI HINNANT Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The ranks of America's unemployed swelled toward Great Depression-era levels Thursday in an unprecedented collapse that intensified the push-pull from the White House on down over how and when to lift the coronavirus restrictions that have crippled the economy. The government said 5.2 million more Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week, bringing the four-week total to about 22 million out of a work force of 159 million — easily the wor...
ADAM BEAM Associated Press SACRAMENTO (AP) — California lawmakers held their first oversight hearing on Thursday to examine how Gov. Gavin Newsom has spent more than $2 billion in taxpayer money to combat the coronavirus, with most participating via video conference in a hearing that tested the technological limits of public debate in an era of social distancing. Just two senators attended the hearing in person, held in a large committee room in the state Capitol. Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee chairwoman Holly M...
ELLEN KNICKMEYER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - The Trump administration on Thursday gutted an Obama-era rule that compelled the country's coal plants to cut back emissions of mercury and other human health hazards, a move designed to limit future regulation of air pollutants from coal- and oil-fired power plants. Environmental Protection Agency chief Andrew Wheeler said the rollback was reversing what he depicted as regulatory overreach by the Obama administration. "We...
ZEKE MILLER, ALAN SUDERMAN, and KEVIN FREKING Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump gave governors a road map Thursday for recovering from the economic pain of the coronavirus pandemic, laying out a phased approach to restoring normal activity in places that have strong testing and are seeing a decrease in COVID-19 cases. "You're going to call your own shots," Trump told the governors, according to an audio recording obtained by The Associated Press. "We're going to be standing alongside of you." The n...
After what can only be described as a strong rebound for the boys' and girls' basketball teams at Fallbrook High School this past winter season, two players from each of the teams were named to the Valley League all-league teams. Head coach Jessica Ramirez's Warriors girls' varsity team went 6-4 in league and 17-11 overall, falling in the first round of the CIF playoffs. As a result, sophomore point guard Naiya Kurnik, a 5-9 sophomore was named to the Valley League's First...
Joe Naiman Six boys and four girls on the 2020 Fallbrook High School track and field team had a premature ending to their senior season when the school was shut down for the remainder of the academic year and all CIF spring sports were canceled. The boys whose high school careers were ended by the truncated season are sprinter Holden Lynas, pole vaulter Ian Whadford and distance runners Christian Goodell, Josh Hernandez, Ricardo Martinez and John Regan. Triple jumper Chiara Curnow, sprinter Erin Murray, pole vaulter Maya...
The 2020 Fallbrook High School girls’ swim team included six seniors whose high school careers were cut short by the closure of the school and the cancellation of CIF spring sports. Cindy Buenrostro, Anna Draves, Lucy Goode, Rebekah Kehl, Rose Khattar and Sophia Wallace all saw their final high school seasons end early. “It’s sad that I don’t get to see them finish out their whole season and their high school career,” Fallbrook coach Sean Redmond said. The Warriors won all three of their dual meets before the season was cance...
The coronavirus quarantine which led to the cancellation of school and of CIF spring sports deprived Fallbrook High School's gymnastics team of the Warriors' 2020 season, but the team had no seniors so the cancellation of the season won't finalize the high school careers of any of Fallbrook's gymnasts. "They're all planning on being on the team next year," said Fallbrook coach Haley Flores. The Warriors were to have opened their season with a dual meet March 13 at Mount Carmel High School, but that meet was canceled and that...

Inventory is still historically low. Yes, demand has slowed due to market uncertainty. If you are waiting thinking you are going to get a discounted deal, think again. Market time is well below historical lows. New average market time is now 90 days versus 46 days. We have now approached what is called a balanced market. I.e., neither a seller or buyer advantage. A balanced market is expected marketing time versus actual market time which is now between 90 to 120 days. Our inventory is still historically low and demand is...
Boy, where do I start with this one? Ms. Miller seems to conflate her personal thought that “the majority of the people drive a better car than ‘I do’ yet have zero savings.” I wonder where she gets this idea? I truly doubt the majority of people with no savings are driving a better car than her, unless she is driving at least a 10-year-old car worth about $2,500. Secondly, she may have a year-plus of savings, but I will bet dollars to doughnuts that she more than likely wasn’t paying an average of $12,000 per year for healt...

These times can be overwhelming. While we love our homes, being forced to stay there for extended periods causes stress, anxiety and depression. We are worried about our income, our jobs, our children’s education, our health and our future. So how do we cope with this new and very unreal lifestyle that the coronavirus has forced upon us? Remember, we are all in this together, and help is available. While we must physically isolate ourselves in order to help rein in the v...
Thank you, Village News for the story on Foundation for Senior Care’s grocery service. Thank you, Foundation for Senior Care for easing the worries and concerns of our senior population. I used the service once and they are pleasant and very organized. I will use it again. The shopping is done at Major Market by volunteers, and delivery is also volunteer-based. It is comforting to know that there are people in our community who are spending their precious time to help out. This organization runs on donations, so please be g...
I am informed that one of the first coronavirus symptoms to show up is difficulty holding one’s breath. Each morning when I wake up, I take a deep breath and hold it for about 30 seconds. Not experiencing any difficulty or comfortability doing this exercise is confirmation that I have not contracted the virus. I don’t want anyone around me – this includes the whole town of Fallbrook – to contract the virus either, so I am humbly making the following requests: Stay home whenever possible and wear facial covering and practic...
Elizabeth D. (Simpson) Vivanco, known as Diane, died peacefully in Fallbrook, April 4, 2020, two days before her 78th birthday. She suffered from vascular dementia, a mysterious and all-consuming disease, yet she retained her compassionate and determined spirit until the end. Diane was born in Pasadena in 1942. Adopted and raised by Nona and John Simpson, she was nevertheless compelled to find her biological parents. In her 40s, she found them, Betty and Harry Appenzeller in...
Please read my Village News opinion piece dated March 5. I am a resident in Rancho Monserate. I have strong feelings and a will to live. I believe if there is a wildfire like the Lilac Fire in 2018 that many lives will be lost. I believe there are ways to prevent the loss of lives and animals. Here are more bullet points that I have researched in needing another entrance and exit besides Dulin Road: How many individuals on these committees have actually come to Rancho Monserate and visually looked at Dulin Road and really...

"We have to have something in place that is efficient and that we can rely on, and we're not there yet," Fauci said in an interview...
