With regards to Candace Singh leaving FUESD as superintendent and her "settlement," I have two questions. First, Dr. Singh claims she is leaving because she is being harassed by a single school board member. If she were so devoted to FUESD and this were truly the only reason she felt she needed to leave, why not wait until after the election? As it turns out, that particular board member is losing her reelection bid. Come Dec. 12 when the new board members take over, her problem should end. Second, if Dr. Singh, an...

It can happen. If you're...

Some view this rapid demographic shift as evidence that peer influence is driving young people, females in particular, to transition. "Adolescents are very susceptible to peer influence, so to...

Last week, we voted unanimously to establish a rental subsidy pilot program for seniors who are at risk of becoming homeless. The Pilot S...
Julie Reeder Publisher The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals last week ruled against the San Diego Unified School District in a precedent-setting decision for the State of California regarding COVID-19 vaccine mandates to attend school in person. A lower state court found in December 2021 that school districts cannot impose vaccine mandates on their own, in addition to the vaccines required by the state as a precondition for in person attendance. No doubt the California legislature will be working feverishly to pass the Covid vacc...

Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to The Village News They say, “wisdom comes with age” which should make me one of the wisest people around. As it turns out, life presents numerous lessons along the road to wisdom. Therefore, why not learn from others? For instance, when someone offers you help, take it. Drop your overblown worthless pride and say, “thank you.” What you will discover is your load gets lighter. The second thing I learned was to accept praise. Like thank you, it can be awkward in the beginning. It will start...
