The Phoenix. In both Greek and Egyptian mythology there is a tale of a bird that regenerates from ashes. The original bird was beautiful, and the re-generated bird was also beautiful. This ancient story comes to mind for Faro Trupiano when he ponders the fire destruction and subsequent restoration of his restaurant, 127 West Social House. The structure was built in 1884 by Elmore Shipley. It was a challenge to renovate the historical building to create a restaurant. Just 15 mo... Full story
When the British playwright Michael Frayn wrote about a touring troupe of actors performing a standard bill of fare in the U.K., known as “British Bedroom Farce,” his intention was to mock the intensity of these endeavors by poking fun of everyone from the director to the backstage crew. Also known as lowbrow (as opposed to highbrow e.g. Shakespeare, as fulfilled by the other summer touring players) this silly whimsical form of tongue-in-cheek comedy is based on imp...

Estate planning helps descendants handle their family member's legacy and dispense with their final expenses. First, create a will if there isn't one completed yet. A valid will may save heirs from some expensive headaches linked to probate and ambiguity. A solid will drafted with the guidance of an estate planning attorney will likely cost a bit more than a "will-in-a-box," but it may prove worth the expense. Complement the will with related documents. Depending on estate pla...

It might seem like it’s too early for prime rattlesnake season, but San Diego County residents should watch their step now. Dozens have already been sighted this year, and the numbers have spiked in April for the last two years. “We always say that every season is rattlesnake season because of the moderate climate in San Diego County,” county Animal Services Director Daniel DeSousa said. “But when the temperatures start rising in the spring, so do rattlesnake sightings, and calls come in from the coast to the mountains.” So f...
The response to recent mass shootings has included calls for legislative change, but a less controversial response in the event of shootings or other traumatic injury in San Diego County was supported by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors at their March 27 meeting. The supervisors’ 5-0 vote directed the county’s chief administrative officer to raise awareness for bleeding control in San Diego County, including the training of county personnel and the placement of bleeding control kits in county buildings and county par...
FALLBROOK - “Coming home from the hospital or a stay at a skilled nursing facility should be about healing, not about struggling with lack of food, medicine, equipment or wondering if anyone is coming to help,” said executive director of the Foundation for Senior Care Rachel Mason. “If one of those pieces is missing, the result is often a revolving door back into the hospital.” The “Door-Through-Door” program was created in November 2017 to ensure that medical care plans and social support systems are in place before discharg...
The e-cigarette has been touted – without proof – as a healthier alternative to traditional tobacco products and perhaps as even a method of breaking the tobacco habit altogether. Now a new, related product with the brand name JUUL has entered the market and is especially appealing to teens. An e-cigarette, which looks much like a traditional cigarette, heats a liquid to create an aerosol, called “vapor,” that can be inhaled. It is true that many of the toxic chemicals found in tobacco smoke are not present in the “vapor;...

The word "hero" often conjures up mental pictures of red flapping capes, over-the-elbow gloves and bold breastplate logos. But perhaps the accessories don't make the hero. Perhaps heroes are defined by something else. Maya Angelou said, "I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people." The recent California wildfire season was the worst in history. With over 1.3 million acres of the state ravaged by flames that destroyed homes and...
Selling real estate must be done with intent. It isn’t something that just happens. There are three points that can make or break a deal. The first is pictures. It may seem like a silly statement, but look at some of the pictures posted on the multiple listing service and every live real estate website in the known universe. To sell a property at the best possible price in a reasonable amount of time the first thing people learn about a property is from the pictures. Will a dark ugly rendition of an old photo do well? R...
Seven small elementary schools in northern San Diego County and southern Riverside County participate in tournaments throughout the year with each school hosting a different sport. When five of those schools convened in Anza for the March 22 cross country meet, Vallecitos Elementary School sixth-grader Edgar Ortega won the boys race, and the Vallecitos boys placed second as a team. Cross country team scores are derived by adding the positions of a school’s first five finishers, so a minimum of five runners are needed for a t...

I just feel p...
