It’s a terrible indictment of the entire medical establishment that we experience such high rates of cardiovascular (CVD) diseases, suffer such misery, and spend so much money on medical approaches to a largely avoidable disease. Dean Ornish, the late Nathan Pritikin, and others have found that many of their heart patients could avoid surgery or drugs by adopting a lifestyle that includes exercise, lentil soup, and broccoli instead of daily burgers and fries. While the government gives lip-service to healthier diets, its broc... Full story

D.L. Coburn’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play is best known for the two stars who created the leading roles: Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronin. Their amazing performances when the show debuted in 1978 catapulted this show to one of the hottest tickets in New York. A year later, the duo reprised their roles for PBS, which gave the whole country a chance to see this famous couple bring this brilliant script to life. “The Gin Game” centers on a protracted game of cards between two elderly residents of the Bentley Retirement home in An...

The comic books have switched genres to the movie screen once again with the 20th Century Fox release of “Elektra.” As a comic-based action movie, “Elektra” is a palatable movie. “Elektra” has a PG-13 rating. This means that it doesn’t have the constant action of an R-rated action movie. On the other hand, it allows not only for the plot of Elektra and her confederates going up against the bad guys but also for Electra Natchios (played by Jennifer Garner) to learn a little about herself through one of her teammates. At...
Tasty Tostada It’s so easy to get addicted to the tasty Shredded Beef Tostadas at Mi Amigo Mexican Food & Bakery (located at 241 N. Main St.).

Dried fruit salad At Tea and Company (located in Fallbrook’s Jackson Square) the Dried Fruit Salad is a unique and del...
A funeral can be as unique as the individual being remembered. Even while adhering to traditions and ceremony, a funeral service should reflect personal values, interest and experiences - all the things that formed the rich tapestry of a life worth celebrating. A meaningful funeral service is also an essential element in the healing process after the loss of a loved one. A funeral provides family and friends with closure after the death, and an opportunity to reminisce about the deceased’s life. As you reflect on the life of... Full story

The game of football has lots of life lessons for me. The more I learn about the game, the more I am convinced that the winners win before they take the field. They win, I believe, because they have a good game plan that may well include lots of options. In the kitchen, it is well to have options, too. You don’t plan a quick, spontaneous gathering for friends after church or a community event. We don’t know when we will have friends call to say they’re in the neighborhood and want to stop by, nor do we anticipate late night...
The San Diego Association of Governments amended its 2030 Regional Transportation Plan to change State Route 241 to an eight-lane tollway. The 14-0 vote January 28, with five jurisdictions absent when the vote occurred, also amends the final environmental impact report for the RTP, although the environmental impact report for the specific project is separate from the programmatic EIR. The Orange County portion of State Route 241 is under the jurisdiction of the Southern California Association of Government’s plan. “We jus... Full story

he 2005 Irwindale Speedway season starts next month, and Scott Youngren is ready for a fresh start. “We’ve got all of our notes. We’ve got the chassis figured out,” Youngren said. “We’re ready to go out.” In 2003 Youngren finished second in the Auto Club Late Model season standings. After the season he upgraded his 2002 Monte Carlo to a 2004 Monte Carlo, a move which was designed to increase his speed but which carried the risk of adjusting to a new car. The 2004 season turned out to be a learning experience with the new chas...
