Ten of the 17 players on the 2020 Fallbrook High School varsity baseball roster are seniors, and head coach Pat Walker believes that the shortening of the CIF season not only cost those seniors a deserving conclusion to their high school careers but also potentially cost the Warriors a CIF championship. “This is the best baseball team I’ve coached, and I didn’t get to coach,” head coach Pat Walker said. The 2018 Warriors reached the semifinals of the CIF Division IV playoffs and had an overall record of 17-16 includi...
Dr. Anne Docimo Special to Village News As the number of COVID-19 cases continue to mount, many Californians may be considering where to go for care if they develop potential symptoms. One important – yet potentially overlooked – resource is telehealth, which may enable people to connect 24/7 with a health care provider via a digital device and avoid potential exposure risks associated with in-person trips to health care facilities. Telehealth may be especially helpful as an initial option for medical advice related to COV...

The big question is: did you change into outside clothes today? All of this alone time has me pondering and comparing today’s isolation with past experiences throughout the history of our great country. And while I want to use this time to enrich myself, I will just as soon as I find the TV clicker. As for now, I whittle away endless hours sorting and forwarding emails to and from a list of like-minded pals. Who writes these things? Here are some examples: “Until further not...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Beaches, golf courses and parks across the county will open tomorrow, officials announced today, even as San Diego County health authorities require face coverings to be worn in public and local COVID-19 cases rose by 132 and deaths by four. The announcement offers both a loosening of some health orders and tightening of others, as stay-at-home orders will be extended indefinitely in accordance with the state's guidance. Speculation arose Wednesday night that...

AMY TAXIN and ADAM BEAM Associated Press SACRAMENTO (AP) — After state officials signaled an intention to close all California beaches, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday chose instead to shutter only Orange County's coastline, a clumsy rollout that left local officials livid and had Republicans claiming politics was at play. Newsom has engendered strong bipartisan support for most of his actions during the virus outbreak. But more recently, some of the more rural and GOP-leaning areas of the state have begun chafing against w...
JEFF AMY and ADRIAN SAINZ Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) - Some of the millions of American workers laid off because of the coronavirus are beginning to face a tough choice - return to work and risk infection, or stay home and risk losing unemployment payments. The decision is most pressing in states where governors have started allowing businesses such as restaurants to reopen with social-distancing restrictions. Tyler Price, 26, was called back to his job at Del Frisco's...
TONY GUTIERREZ, JAMIE STENGLE and PAUL J. WEBER Associated Press PARIS, Texas (AP) — Barely a week ago, rural Lamar County could make a pretty good argument for Texas' reopening on Friday. Only a handful of the 50,000 residents here, right on the border with Oklahoma, had tested positive for the coronavirus. None had died. The mayor of Paris, Texas — a pit stop for drivers passing through to snap a selfie with the city's miniaturized Eiffel Tower — had drive-thru virus testing in the works, just to give locals peace of mind....
ZEKE MILLER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday speculated that China could have unleashed the coronavirus on the world due to some kind of horrible "mistake," and his intelligence agencies said they are still examining a notion put forward by the president and aides that the pandemic may have resulted from an accident at a Chinese lab. Trump even suggested the release could have been intentional. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the clearinghouse for the web of U.S. spy a...
DAVID EGGERT and MIKE HOUSEHOLDER Associated Press LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Republican-led Michigan Legislature refused Thursday to extend the state's coronavirus emergency declaration and voted to authorize a lawsuit challenging Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's authority and actions to combat the pandemic. The governor, unfazed, responded with orders stating under one law that an emergency still exists, while declaring a new 28-day state of emergency under another law. The declarations are important because they are t...

Tom Ozimek The Epoch Times The White House is sending out letters to Americans, signed by President Donald Trump, explaining the COVID-19 economic impact payments, sometimes referred to as stimulus checks, which are being sent out as part of the $2.4 trillion economic relief package. The emergency relief bill, called the CARES Act, requires a notification to be sent out to aid recipients informing them of some payment details. “Such notice shall indicate the method by which such payment was made, the amount of such payment a...
As companies start planning their reopenings, business groups are pushing Congress to limit liability from potential lawsuits filed by workers and customers infected by the coronavirus. They appear to have the White House’s ear. President Donald Trump has floated shielding businesses from lawsuits. His top economic adviser Larry Kudlow said on CNBC recently that businesses shouldn’t be held liable to trial lawyers “putting on false lawsuits that will probably be thrown out of court.” He said the issue could require legisla...
Due to the coronavirus outbreak and stay-at-home orders, Fallbrook High School Principal Narciso Iglesias informed the valedictorian and salutatorian for the 2019-2020 school year that they had earned their statuses in a Google Hangout call with the students and their parents Friday, April 17. Emiliano Corona, whom the Village News profiled last week, was named valedictorian and Audrey Gillcrist is the salutatorian. For Gillcrist, it is a unique time, but she's grateful for...
TAMMY WEBBER and HANNAH FINGERHUT Associated Press OAK PARK, Ill. (AP) — Americans are feeling isolated and anxious. They fear they or their loved ones will get sick. They worry about their jobs. As the coronavirus pandemic upends lives across the United States, it's taking a widespread toll on people's mental health and stress levels, according to a survey that finds a majority of Americans felt nervous, depressed, lonely or hopeless in the past week. "It's just so overwhelming, the fear and anxiety," said 49-year-old J...
STAN CHOE AP Business Writer Stocks are falling on Wall Street Thursday after more reports made clear the worldwide devastation the coronavirus outbreak is causing for the economy. The dour figures helped drive most U.S. stocks to losses, and the S&P 500 was down 1.2% in afternoon trading. Treasury yields also sank, while European stocks fell more sharply, slamming the brakes on a strong rally that had circled the world a day earlier. "This is the saddest day for the global economy we have ever seen" in the 50 years that...
KEVIN FREKING and JILL COLVIN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Trying to dispel economic gloom, President Donald Trump said Thursday he's anticipating a major rebound in the coming months and a "spectacular" 2021. While economists are warning of serious long-term damage as the country plunges into recession because of the coronavirus, Trump is predicting a strong fourth quarter thanks to pent-up demand. "I think we can actually surpass where we were," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, while allowing he was relying o...
ADAM BEAM and STEFANIE DAZIO Associated Press SACRAMENTO (AP) - Gov. Gavin Newsom will order all beaches and state parks closed Friday after tens of thousands of people flocked to the seashore last weekend during a heat wave despite his stay-at-home order, according to a memo sent Wednesday evening to police chiefs around the state. Eric Nuñez, president of the California Police Chiefs Association, said it was sent to give chiefs time to plan ahead of Newsom's expected announc...
DAVID CRARY, CHRISTOPHER RUGABER and JOHN LEICESTER Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Bleak new figures Thursday underscored the worldwide economic pain inflicted by the coronavirus: The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits has climbed past a staggering 30 million, while Europe's economies are in an epic slide. The statistics are likely to turn up the pressure on politicians to ease the lockdowns that have closed factories and other businesses. In the U.S., the government reported that 3.8 million laid-off w...
ALEXANDRA JAFFE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - A sexual assault allegation is raising Joe Biden's first big challenge as the Democrats' presidential nominee, fueling Republican attacks and leaving many in his own party in an uncomfortable bind. Biden's campaign has denied the allegation from his former Senate staffer, Tara Reade, who has said Biden assaulted her in the basement of a Capitol Hill office building in the 1990s. But the story garnered fresh attention this week...
BRADY McCOMBS Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The effort to reopen the economy in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic has set off a conflict at the state and federal level that is escalating by the day over how much legal protection companies should get if their returning workers get sick. The White House, governors, members of congress and state lawmakers are all getting pressured by business leaders who want to be shielded from potential lawsuits brought by sick wor...
