Besides the joy of spending time with the grandkids, additionally, I get a special reward every time they burst through the front door. You see, from where I sit on the far sofa, I get to enjoy a perfectly framed picture of one branch of our blooming Jacaranda tree in the front yard. Speaking of wondrous views, we have another one from the kitchen window. Throughout the day from sunup to sunset, we watch Oriole families chow down the nectar in the onetime hummingbird feeder. N...

Dr. Megan Johnson McCullough Special to the Village News The most serious type of cancer is melanoma. Cancer develops in cells called melanocytes which are the cells that make melanin. We get our skin color (pigment) from melanocytes. Therefore, melanoma is often generalized as skin cancer. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the major cause of this skin condition, which can come from the sun and/or UV tanning beds. If detected early, melanoma can be treated. Limiting...
SAN DIEGO — Often, children in foster care do not have a reliable male figure or positive male role model in their lives. These children need good experiences with men who will keep them safe. Voices for Children recruits and trains caring volunteers, known as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs), to provide supportive services for youth in foster care and advocate for their needs. The organization is currently in high need of compassionate and empathetic men to step up and become volunteer CASAs to advocate for boys i...

Assemblymember Marie Waldron 75th District The Legislature adjourned Sept. 14. We will reconvene for the second half of the 2023 – 2024 session Jan. 3. Several of my bills received final legislative approval last week. These include AB 1233, to help reduce opioid-related deaths in tribal communities by mandating assistance to tribal governments applying for naloxone and other opioid antagonist medications. AB 829 will allow courts to order persons on probation for animal abuse to undergo mental health evaluations and counseli...
The importance of the next presidential election cannot be overstated. It should be a referendum on the abysmal economy and the societal upheaval that Biden and his Democrat cronies have served up for us. By every metric, Joe and his court jesters at the DNC have failed to meet their rudimentary obligations to the American people. So, who will lead us out of this quagmire: Cornel West, Pence, Nikki Haley, Newsom, or none of the above? RFK Jr. would undoubtedly make a far better choice for President than the grifter-in-chief....
I’m old enough to remember a time when people with opposing political views could have a spirited discussion about the candidates they were supporting. Although minds were seldom changed by the end of the discussion, the parties, more often than not, remained on friendly terms. That no longer seems to be the case in our current emotionally charged political environment. Thinking back to the Stevenson-Eisenhower (1952/1956) and Kennedy-Nixon (1960) presidential contests, I don’t recall anything approaching the level of vit...
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District As you may be aware, San Diego ranks among the top cities in the nation for human trafficking. This is a harrowing issue that affects far too many lives in our community, and it is our responsibility to do everything in our power to stop it. In our ongoing commitment to combat this pressing problem, we have recently introduced legislation to educate our students about the signs to look for when approached by potential traffickers. We believe that education is a vital tool in preventing...
We’ve been graced with the great announcement from Linda Wilson “Hello Village News Readers, I’m back” after taking a mental health break. I now understand a little better of why the left is so delusional and hateful. They suffer from the indoctrination of their fake news and mental illness caused by the left’s lies. So as compassionate humans, we need to save them from themselves with real news reporting which is what the Village News does. I feel sorry for your husband if you are letting the people you hate so much affe...
The issues surrounding minors, transgender, gender-fluid, non-binary, etc don’t seem to be going away. This life-changing, family-changing cultural phenomena is complex and controversial. Teenage gender transitions and the impact on families and individuals involved can be permanent and sometimes fatal. For that reason, we have to discuss it continuously, especially as all these issues work their way through the courts, and so far, our Governor and our AG seem to be on the w...
Julie asked the rhetorical question: "Will America continue with liberty and justice for all, one nation under God?" The short answer is you can't continue something that doesn't already exist. Liberty and justice for all is our ideal, but we are too far off the mark today. Cases of racism are regularly in the news. A two-tier system of justice prevails. Wealthy people can afford to spend millions on expert lawyers to defend, delay, and buy their way out of jail time. The poor may spend days in jail, just waiting for their...
