Silken soups, organic salads, and mushrooms that burst with flavor – these are just some of the culinary gems available at Café des Artistes. Michael Calvanese, proprietor, is adamant about using organic products. If he can’t find organic, then he purchases pesticide-free products. Fresh-baked focaccia bread is another lure to the establishment, but he doesn’t overdo the bread when making sandwiches. "I don’t believe that a sandwich should have a lot of bread – if you want b...

What a rollercoaster ride we’ve been having with temperatures since November! Although daytime highs have ranged from 50s to 60s, they’ve still been as much as 10 degrees below normal. Night temps at or below 32 degrees – some nights with hard freezes – have certainly put some of my non-rose plants at risk – but what a relief to not have a repeat of last year’s snowstorm! The recent rains are certainly promising, but aren’t anywhere close to what is needed to solve four ye...

FALLBROOK – Parkinson's disease is a neurological movement disorder. Classic motor symptoms, such as tremor, rigidity and extreme slowness of movements and reflexes, called bradykinesia, are typically used to identify Parkinson's. However, identification of other, more subtle symptoms may help identify the disease years before more obvious motor conditions present themselves. Since Parkinson's is a chronic and progressive neurological disease, symptoms are often mild at the on...
FALLBROOK – Across the country, more than 50 million people are living with doctor-diagnosed arthritis. So says the Arthritis Foundation, which projects that figure will rise to 67 million by the year 2030.

Reading the opinion piece by Carolyn Mathes "The cultural invasion continues" raised a lot of questions in my mind. Firstly, I didn't see any opinions expressed. Secondly, what was published was a lot of "information" with no verifiable sources. Thirdly, all of the included information was at least seven months old and since none of it had a year posted with it, it could be years old. I love hearing/reading peoples opinions, especially with some verifiable facts to support them. My humble opinion is that this seemed out of... Full story
