Julie Reeder Publisher Last weekend I was at the park with my family when I heard a young girl on the merry-go-round, about 11 years old, proclaim to the other younger children around her, "I have no gender."

Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to The Village News In a daring directorial debut, Shana Cooper was invited to The Old Globe to reimagine Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew." Her point of view is clearly a feminist's revenge on a dead playwright. Not a word in the advanced publicity indicated this new direction. Thinking I would attend Opening Night to see an updated version of this classic battle between the sexes, I must admit, I wasn't prepared to see Kate's bridegroom...

As it is the 20th anniversary of that precedent-setting decision, some Fallbrook residents wonder what their lives wou... Full story

I want to thank the ladies at the Foundation for Senior Care, I don’t know what I would do without them. I am 84 and can’t drive because I have no feeling in my feet after back surgery. Linda and Terry drive seniors wherever they need to go. If Maria, who is in charge of transportation and sets up appointments, doesn’t have a driver, she does it herself. They do so much for people. For example, I had no way to get my prescriptions and CVS couldn’t fill both of them, so Village Pharmacy had one of them. Linda took me to Vill... Full story

My findings may... Full story
