SAN DIEGO – Local nonprofit United Way of San Diego County’s inaugural “Holiday Crockpot Drive” is underway and will continue through Friday, Nov. 12. The organization hopes to collect enough donations to purchase 200 new crockpots for San Diego military families experiencing food insecurity. Through this drive, UWSD is providing more than a crockpot. It’s providing ways to cook at home, sustainability, the opportunity to stretch a dollar, and most importantly bringing families together over dinner. Each donation will cont...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) – A 16-year-old Scripps Ranch High School student and her parents filed a lawsuit today against the San Diego Unified School District to block its recently approved COVID-19 vaccine mandate for staff and students over the age of 16. The suit filed in San Diego federal court on behalf of the family – identified as John, Jane and Jill Doe in the complaint – states that the high school junior's religious beliefs prohibit her from getting the vaccine. The district approved a vaccine mandate plan last month, which...
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District There’s a crisis in our country. Fentanyl is impacting our streets and tragically killing many of our kids. In late August, two San Diego teenagers overdosed on clandestine prescriptions laced with fentanyl they purchased via social media. Sadly, one of those teenagers passed away. This is just one of the many stories happening across San Diego County. Through mid-July, there were 413 fentanyl deaths, compared to 177 in 2020. There has been a wave of deaths among teens and young adults who...
There is an indomitable truth that two things that can be discussed ad nauseum without repercussion: wine and bridge. It has long been accepted that anyone may comment about wine albeit they are tasting it, sipping it, or merely drinking it, without recourse. Nothing said can be held against them. The same can be said about bridge. Volumes have been written since 1935 about how to play this fascinating game. Every party bridge player knows a few conventions like how to count...
I read with concern the article, “Current lifesaving COVID-19 information shared between doctors, scientists.” At a time when there are reliable, up-to-date reports from such legitimate sources as the Centers for Disease Control, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and the American Medical Association, the Village News has chosen to print the fringe views of members of such discredited organizations as the Pandemic Health Alliance (Dr. Robert Malone), the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care All...
Julie Reeder Publisher In response to Barry, I know you are a smart guy. Why would you look to Time Magazine or The Atlantic, or organizations like Factcheck.org, funded by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and the Annenberg Foundation, to “discredit” frontline professionals and leaders in their fields? As for the Cochran report you cited, I know of another report that came to the same conclusion and many doctors signed a letter condemning the results because they used patients who were 30 years old; so of course there would be...
We need to go after the Dominion Voting machines, and have them absolutely destroyed out of every state in the nation. It's the elephant in the room. All the good governors need to rise up and demand they be removed from their states and we go back to paper ballots hand counted. We need to operate a branch of Independent Learning Academy which is an alternative to public schools. If parents started taking their children out of the public schools at all grade levels, the public schools, National Teachers Association and the...
There are countless ways to exploit the working class. Most have been found, and used, at one time or another. Slavery was certainly a popular one. However, I’m sure that there are many who would prefer not to hear anything further on America’s history of Black slavery so, instead, let’s talk about some other examples of exploitation. “Between 1492 and 1880, between 2 and 5.5 million Native Americans were enslaved in the Americas….” “While natives had been forced into slavery and servitude as early as 1636, it was not until...
Assemblymember Marie Waldron AD-75 We can all agree about the importance of keeping kids away from illegal drugs. Red Ribbon Week, which is held each year from Oct. 23 through 31, is the oldest and largest drug prevention awareness program in the United States. Red Ribbon Week began as a tribute to Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, a DEA agent who was kidnapped and tortured to death by drug cartels in 1985 during his investigation of a marijuana operation in Chihuahua, Mexico. After the murder, citizen’s of Camarena’s hometown, Calexi...

Last week I was troubled seeing the protestors lining the roadway at the corner of Mission Road and Highway 76. Although the crowd was not that large considering the local populations, it was still disturbing to see given the subject of the protest. I wonder who organizes these rallies? And how can so many be duped into the misinformation being peddled? We are blessed to be a country free from polio, smallpox, measles, mumps and many other diseases because of vaccines.We are blessed that our water supply is monitored by our...
Joe Naiman Village News Reporter Prior to the Oct. 22 football game at Fallbrook High School, the Warriors held a Senior Night ceremony to honor the team's 10 12th-graders. The Warriors will likely have one additional home game during the CIF Division V playoffs, although San Pasqual's 28-12 victory may cost Fallbrook a first-round bye. "They didn't make nearly the amount of mental mistakes that we made, so that's the biggest issue," said Fallbrook coach Troy Everhart. "We...

Hannah Hanford Writer The Bonsall Chamber of Commerce held its 15th Annual Fall Festival at Bonsall River Village Oct. 23. This festival brought various kinds of booths to the community of Bonsall along with live music. In the past, the festival also gave families the opportunity to bring their kids and do a costume contest and pumpkin decorating. However, that has changed in the last couple years. "I think the difference is we used to have a kids area and we had games and a...

SAN DIEGO – While remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic lowered reported instances of bullying, some parents fear that, for some students, going back to school will mean going back to being bullied. Jeremy from Fallbrook said, "We feel that it is critical to have a sense of the emotional pulse of our family, especially with our children." Now 15 years after the inception of National Bullying Prevention Month in October, technology’s ever-greater presence in children’s lives has given bullying a new outlet. With just...
SACRAMENTO – After years, sometimes decades, in the classroom giving back to their students, California’s retired teachers continue to give back through their passion for volunteerism. And as if that weren’t enough, recent studies confirm that their pensions pump billions into the economy! According to the latest report from the National Institute on Retirement Security, Pensionomics 2021, California saw $76.7 billion in total economic benefit in 2018 from pension benefits paid out by state and local pension plans. Because re...
