Chef Christine Moore trained in Paris and Los Angeles before opening her Little Flower bakery and cafe in Pasadena in 2007. Beloved as a pillar of the Altadena community after the Eaton fire, Moore’s death was announced by her children on Jan. 5. (Photo from Little Flower social media) By ANISSA RIVERA | arivera@scng.com PUBLISHED: January 5, 2026 at 6:50 PM PST | UPDATED: January 6, 2026 at 4:15 PM PST Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Christine Moore, the beloved Pasadena baker, cookbook author and owner of Little Flower Bakery in that city, has died, her children announced on Monday morning. She was 61. Her children Maddie, Avery and Colin announced her passing in an online post, which quickly garnered hundreds of comments from people sharing their experiences with Moore as a mentor, neighbor, community patron, and most of all, “the proudest of moms.” Her children called her “the heart and guiding force of Little Flower and our community. She was our rock, our home, our mom—the North Star of our family. Her love, kindness, and generosity changed countless lives. We will love her forever and carry her in our hearts for the rest of our lives. Our legend.” Little Flower Bakery, which had closed in recent days, will reopen on Wednesday, Jan. 7, the first anniversary of the Eaton fire. Moore and her youngest child Colin stayed at their Altadena home and saved it and other structures when the fire first exploded. From the bakery, she spearheaded distributing community meals, pushing bags of candy at children as she remembered how sweets comforted her as a child, and worrying about her staff, many of whom have been with her for decades, and her fellow business owners in Altadena and Pasadena. Victoria Knapp, outgoing chair of the Altadena Town Council, said she was shocked and saddened to learn of Moore’s unexpected passing. Moore helped her plan her 50th birthday soiree in a private room of the café. “We worked together on the menu and the room’s layout so that it would be exactly what I wanted for my guests,” Knapp said. “Beyond that, wherever I saw her in public, I was always greeted with a warm hug and we would catch up on the goings-on in our lives since we last saw each other. She will be missed by so many and no one will ever fill her shoes or match what she meant to this community. My goodness, my heart goes out to her children.” A photo posted to Little Flower Cafe and Bakery’s social media shows owner Christine Moore, far right, with her staff. (Photo from Little Flower Facebook) Within hours of hearing of her passing, Moore’s friend Randy Clement, owner of Good Neighbor Bar, wrote this: one of our greatest moments parental is sitting with christine moore outside of little flower and witnessing her tell our sons about life most people born here on this planet move through life christine moore born here on this planet life moved through her every person who has had the privilege and honor to share a moment in space with christine now knows or will one day know that they have not and will not share space with anyone like her in their life ever again Karen Drasler LuKanic remembered Moore had just opened Little Flower when she asked for help in opening her own business. So enthusiastic a mentor was Moore, she introduced LuKanic to those who helped Little Flower, including her lawyer. “Even when she had a lot of things on her plate, she was always so positive and inspirational,” LuKanic said. She ended up opening Chef Zorba’s, a restaurant in Colorado, and the two stayed in touch, joking about arranging a marriage between LuKanic’s daughter and Moore’s son Colin so they could be family. Moore’s children, LuKanic said, defined her. “You were her greatest pride, her biggest joy, the center of her universe. She spoke of you the way people speak of miracles—with wonder, with gratitude, with overwhelming pride,” LuKanic wrote online. “The rest of us are left holding memories like precious things—her laugh, her kindness, her advice, the way she showed up for the people she cared about.” In an interview with “The Gourmandise School” in 2017, Moore reminisced about her childhood in New Jersey, raised by a single mom to believe the best in people. She left home at 17, fell in love and moved to California, where she waitressed and catered for restaurants in Pasadena. The death of a friend propelled her to France, and a determination not to waste any time making her dreams come true. She worked in Paris for a year before returning Stateside, working under renowned chef Nancy Silverton. In 2007, Moore said in the foreword to her book “Little Flower: Recipes from a Café,” she found herself at age 44 “with a premature baby, a broken marriage, a 5-year-old, a 7-year-old who had just been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, a husband out of work, canceled health insurance, and no way to pay the mortgage.” That was the year she opened Little Flower Bakery in Pasadena, with help from family and friends. The “tiny cafe and candy kitchen on the edge of town” soon inspired a loyal nationwide following, loyal fans of her sea salt caramels, marshmallows, lemon lentil soup, goddess salad, chocolate caramel tartlets and brown butter shortbread. “It’s been a lot of hard work but that’s what life is,” Moore wrote in her cookbook. A second cookbook “Little Flower Baking,” was another chance to share her unadorned chef’s philosophy: “play when you cook and embrace the imperfections. Most of all, cook with love.” Christine Moore, center, with her friend Karen Drasler LuKanic, at right. Moore, owner of Little Flower Cafe and Bakery in Pasadena, has died, her children announced Monday. LuKanic, owner of Chef Zorba’s in Denver, Colorado, credits Moore with mentoring her. (Photo courtesy of Karen Drasler LuKanic) On Dec. 31, Moore posted a message to her social media thanking her community as the first anniversary of the fires approached. She would pass away without seeing that milestone, but left that recording, her voice, reflecting on the past year. One word comes to mind, she said. Community. “When the fires hit our community, everything felt unknown and honestly scary,” she said. “Yet our little community showed up in ways I could have never imagined. People showed up day in and day out, offering care, steadiness, and support when it was needed most. The way my people, our people, showed up, became my saving grace during such a difficult and uncertain time and I am endlessly grateful. Happy new year, happy life, happy rebuild. I am thankful for you, my community.” In lieu of flowers, her children request that donations be made to the nonprofit Camp Conrad Chinnock, which provides camping experiences to children and families living with Type 1 diabetes. Information on a memorial service will also be announced shortly.

By MERRILL SHINDLER | MrEats@aol.com PUBLISHED: May 2, 2008 at 12:00 AM PDT | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 1:54 AM PDT Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... It’s been almost two years since a fire shuttered Sharkeez on Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach. And the place is still under construction; no surprise when you consider it took a year just to get the permits in order. The joint is supposed to reopen in an expanded space by early summer. In the meantime, I’ve been quenching my thirst for mixed beverages, and for sports on big screens, by hanging at the elbow-benders that bookend Sharkeez – Patrick Molloy’s on one side and Sangria on the other. And I have to note that in the absence of Sharkeez, they’ve done yeoman’s work taking up the slack: You want a mojito with your Lakers or Dodgers, these places do it just fine. Like Hennessey’s down the street, Molloy’s is an Irish theme park, a place where the menu is decorated with clover (three-leaf on the cover, four-leaf inside), and where dishes have names such as O’Caesars Salad, Irish fish ‘n’ chips and The Big Molloy. You show up midweek, and you can enjoy Whiskey Wednesday (two-for-one drinks all night), Thirsty Thursday ($4 well drinks), or Four Bagger Friday (four shots for $20 from start to finish). And on a good night (which is most every night – Mojito Monday! Tequila Tuesday! Stop Light Saturday! Sunday Funday!) the place sizzles with life and lubricity. This is one hot joint. The bar is permanently packed, two and three deep. The big screens are turned up loud. And when a local team scores, there’s a hoot and holler from the crowd that rattles the picture windows. Oddly, I’ve found there’s almost always a booth available, no doubt because the denizens of Molloy’s prefer spending their evenings standing up at the bar to sitting down in anything as formal and restrictive as a booth – really, where’s the fun in that? But for those of us who go to Molloy’s for the drinks, the sports, the people-watching – and the chow – the booths are much appreciated. It’s good to sit down while you work on an appetizer platter large enough to feed a family of four, should a family of four ever opt to drop into Molloy’s. There are two appetizer samplers, both of which go very nicely with a cold mug o’ suds. One is the Mad Sampler – wings, fries, calamari and skewers, with ranch dressing for the dip. The other is the Southwestern Sampler – wings, quesadilla, egg rolls and poppers (aka armadillo eggs), once again with ranch for dipping. What I like about the samplers is that they’re about as serious as I want the food to be at a beach bar. I don’t know about you, but a dish such as chicken marsala (listed along with meatloaf and chicken pesto pasta under “Platters”) comes too close to real food for me. I go out for drinks and sports, I want dishes best eaten with your hands. At Molloy’s, those dishes abound. Though I suppose the soup demands a utensil, and you probably want to eat your salad with a fork, most of the dishes are just right for God’s own five-digit utensil. There are a baker’s dozen sandwiches: I’m partial to the Swiss, pork and ham Cuban with pickles and lots of mayo; and to the pulled pork, which is always good, though the sauce it comes in is a bit sweet for my taste. There’s a section of “Bakes & Wraps” (I don’t like wraps, never have, never will – I thought they had gone away); “Oven Fresh Pizza” (with a cardboardy crust); and “South of the Border” (good quesadillas, decent fish tacos, especially blackened). But for me, after the appetizers (properly called “Finger Food” on the menu) my faves are “Molloy’s Burgers,” especially The Big Molloy – two burger patties, tomato, onion, lettuce, pickle and fries, along with about 18 additional toppings; the bacon and pepperoncini are just fine. And for the record, Molloy’s serves breakfast Saturdays and Sundays, when you can build your own omelet with cheddar, jack, Swiss, salsa, bacon, sausage, tomato, onions, peppers, ham, avocado or guacamole, mushrooms, chilies, pepperoncini and pineapple. Pineapple? I find it problematic enough on a pizza. In a three-egg omelet, it’s just so wrong – even though a morning at Molloy’s, half a block from the beach, can be so right. Sangria feels like a work-in-progress. The thing about this particular work-in-progress, though, is that it’s felt that way for as long as I can remember. It seems to be a pair of somewhat disparate operations, connected by an adjoining door. On the left, there’s a rather lively bar; and on the right, there’s a “garden patio” showroom in which live acts perform, and where you can sit down for a (more or less) proper meal. As a rule, it’s the bar that tends to get the crowd. And in the bar, it’s drinking, not eating, that’s the event of choice. But if you do go to the right, along with flamenco on Tuesdays and jazz on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, there’s a menu that does “tapas” – though in the South Bay style, they’re more Mexican than they are Spanish. As at nearby Patrick Molloy’s, there’s a sampler plate at Sangria, called “Todas Tapas,” though it’s not quite like any other sampler on the street. In this case, it’s duck sausage, garlic mashed spuds, artichoke and spinach dip, and blackened shrimp – a little this, a little that. If it’s indeed the tapas you want, or at least the antojitos, go for the half-dozen quesadillas (though do ask that they be fully cooked; mine weren’t and the cheese was only half-melted within); for the grilled, skewered fish and shrimp; or for those aforementioned blackened shrimp. I had high hopes for the albondigas, but they arrived in a pretty crumbly state. Perhaps man was not meant to mix beef and turkey into a single meatball. If you want something more substantial, there’s a section of “Platos Principales.” The meatballs reappear atop linguine. The shrimp reappear with a blue cheese sauce that works for some, not for others; seafood and blue cheese is a decidedly quirky taste. The chicken in mole sauce – pollo Holy Mole – confused me. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t seem to be the Mexican mole I like so well. As the menu explains, the house mole is made with “ground peanuts, chocolate and honey.” A quick Web search found that there are moles made with peanuts – including one made with Jif peanut butter.

1 of 2 This Poloroid photo was taken on May 24, 1959, at Giant Rock, in Landers, by San Bernardino County sheriff’s reserve deputy F. W. Ackerman, who was working at the sixth annual Spacecraft Convention at the popular site for UFO enthusiasts. By JOE NELSON | jnelson@scng.com | San Bernardino Sun PUBLISHED: July 19, 2014 at 11:28 PM PDT | UPDATED: August 28, 2017 at 4:59 AM PDT Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Southern California’s Morongo Basin has long been a hotbed for UFO activity, whether real or imagined. Ever since George Van Tassel, a former flight inspector-turned-ufologist, leased an abandoned airstrip adjacent a seven-story boulder in Landers in 1947, built an inn and began hosting interplanetary conventions, the area has since been a global draw for those who believe, or want to believe. “As many as 15,000 people showed up for these conventions in the middle of the desert. They would come by plane, automobile, campers, and they would listen to these speakers,” said Barbara Harris, a member of the Morongo Basin Historical Society and expert on the history of Giant Rock, the landmark seven-story boulder where Van Tassell set up shop in 1947. Van Tassel’s guest speakers claimed to have either been abducted by extraterrestrials or had direct contact with them. They included Daniel Fry, George Adamski, Gabriel Green and Dr. Frank Stranges, founder the of National Investigations Committee on Unidentified Flying Objects, Harris said. “They were called the ‘contactees’ at the time,” Harris said. “They talked about their experiences. They talked about the government cover-ups. They talked about the X-files.” Van Tassel himself claimed to have been abducted by aliens. In 1959, he completed construction of his Integratron, a resonant tabernacle he claimed was designed with blueprints personally delivered to him by four aliens who landed at his airport in Landers in 1953 in a spaceship from another planet. Howard Hughes helped fund construction of the project, now a national tourist draw. In the spirit of the Morongo Basin’s rich UFO history, the Joshua Tree Retreat Center will host the second annual Contact in the Desert, a three-day weekend convention featuring some of the world’s most reputed ufologists and alleged contactees, from Aug. 8-11. Registration is underway, and bookings for this year’s event have more than doubled, said Paul Andrews, an event organizer. He believes the event’s popularity can be attributed mainly to the popularity of television shows like the History Channel’s “Ancient Aliens” and radio talk shows like the paranormal-theme “Coast to Coast.” The hosts of both shows, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos and George Noory, respectively, are among the featured guest speakers at this year’s event. “The whole UFO question is a huge mystery to the American public . . . , and people want to solve that mystery. They need to know,” Andrews said. Unlike UFO conventions that tend to draw the proverbial fanatics in foil hats, Contact in the Desert prides itself on taking itself seriously and assembling a pool of leading experts in the field, which can also be attributed to the event’s rising popularity, Andrews said. Also on this year’s roster of guest speakers include Erich von Daniken, author of the 1969 book “Chariots of the Gods”; Nick Pope, a former official with the UK Ministry of Defense UFO Project; David Wilcock, host of Gaiam TV and author of “The Source Field Investigations”; and Travis Walton, an alleged abductee whose book, “Fire in the Sky,” was made into a feature film. Andrews said the region’s long history of reported UFO sightings makes it the perfect spot to host such an event. “What better place to convene a conference exploring some of the greatest questions in human history than an ancient sacred site (Giant Rock) with a long-lived reputation for sightings and contact experiences?” Andrews asked in a news release. Harris, a Yucca Valley resident of 10 years and former president of the Morongo Basin Historical Society, will give a lecture on the history of Giant Rock and a tour of the site. She said the Morongo Basin is near the 33rd Parallel North, where many of the world’s UFO sightings have occurred. Since Van Tassel put down roots in Landers, his legacy has lived on, as have the reported sightings of UFOs. “Almost all the old timers have seen some kind of mystery craft some time in their lives up there,” Andrews said, adding that the 17-mile loop in Joshua Tree National Park is a popular place for people to gather, to pitch tents or sit in the back of their pickups, sipping beer and searching the sky for unidentified flying objects. George Noory, host of the radio talk show “Coast to Coast” and who succeeded Art Bell, will be opening up this year’s event via Skype on Aug. 8 and then speaking in person in panel discussions on Aug. 9. He said Joshua Tree serves as the perfect locale for the event, which coincides with the Perseid meteor showers. For the nonbelievers and skeptics who often scoff at the idea of little green men with almond-shaped eyes traversing the solar system, visiting Earth and abducting or examining humans as some sort of intergalactic scientific research project, Noory said such skepticism is actually a good thing. “I think skepticism is healthy. If you can go in with an open mind, not believing everything you hear, that is much better than a blind believer,” Noory said. Noory, however, is no skeptic. “Life is just too complicated to be randomly done without some intelligent force behind it,” Noory said, adding that some call that intelligent force the work of God, while some believe it is the work of alien life forms visiting Earth in vehicles that far surpass the technologies of modern man. “There is something that put this altogether, and they did it very well,” Noory said.

By SANDRA T. MOLINA | smolina@scng.com | San Gabriel Valley Tribune PUBLISHED: July 9, 2012 at 12:00 AM PDT | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 10:12 AM PDT Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Gallery: Montebello Hills brush fire MONTEBELLO – As the Valley baked in more than 100-degree heat Monday, a brush fire blackened about 10 acres in the Montebello Hills south of the Shops at Montebello, officials said. No homes were ever in danger, officials said, and helicopters were used to make water drops. The fire was reported at 2:48 p.m. and 12 engines responded, Montebello Fire Chief Tim Wessel said. About 200 firefighters battled the blaze, which was only about 50 percent contained by 7:30 p.m., officials said. Crews were expected to be on scene all night. “There are no evacuations, and none are planned,” Wessel said. He said he wasn’t concerned with the winds. “This is nothing,” Wessel said. “Unless we get a major shift in the winds, they shouldn’t be a factor.” Some living beneath the hills along Las Flores and East Los Amigos avenues were not so at ease. “I don’t like seeing the red flames,” Geni Garcia said. She said she has lived in the area for 27 years and cannot recall a fire lasting more than an hour or so. “They usually put it out fast,” Garcia said. Her son, David, 16, an avid photographer, was taking pictures of the helicopter water drops, the flames and the smoke. Garcia was also concerned about the Montebello Hills oil field. “It’s not a good place to have a fire,” she said. Wessel said there was no danger from or to the oil field. What was of more concern, he said, were the downed power lines. “The fire crews need to be more careful because of that added danger,” said Wessel, who added the cause of the blaze has not been determined. The hilly terrain also encumbered access. Fire departments from Los Angeles County and the cities of Monterey Park, Downey, Santa Fe Springs, Compton, Monrovia, Glendale, South Pasadena, Vernon, Sierra Madre and San Gabriel aided MFD. Eric Salazar, who was also taking photos, could not remember a bigger fire in the hills. He said he has lived in the area since 1967. sandra.molina@sgvn.com 562-698-0955, ext. 3029 Facebook X Reddit Print Newsroom Guidelines News Tips Contact Us Report an Error RevContent Feed Around the Web Most Popular RECOMMENDED FOR YOU Mountain towns eagerly await snow as recent rains put damper on busy season ICE doesn’t plan to detain Abrego Garcia again as long as judge’s order banning it stands Larry Wilson: The Eaton fire is still burning one year on from Jan. 7 ‘Recovery is failing survivors’: Fire survivors say billions still needed to come home, one year later With most customers gone, Altadena’s Lake Avenue businesses are slow to return The ‘Coachella for book lovers’ festival returns to Pasadena in February Michael Reagan, son of Ronald Reagan and longtime conservative commentator, dies at age 80 Bowls of hope fill souls, bellies at John Muir High’s Eaton Fire anniversary event At the little market that buoyed Altadena’s heart, community looks back at fire’s impact A Concert for Altadena offers music and healing on Eaton fire anniversary Top Posts & Pages Jim Nuccio’s Altadena nursery is a Southern California treasure — for a few more months Jim Nuccio’s Altadena nursery is a Southern California treasure — for a few more months ‘Unbearable’ bear holed up under Altadena home finally takes off – 6 weeks later ‘Unbearable’ bear holed up under Altadena home finally takes off – 6 weeks later Counterfeit cash defrauds In-N-Out in LA, OC, and Glendale police say; 2 Long Beach residents arrested Counterfeit cash defrauds In-N-Out in LA, OC, and Glendale police say; 2 Long Beach residents arrested Vacant lots in Altadena, Palisades areas are piling up, as investors move in, according to Redfin report Vacant lots in Altadena, Palisades areas are piling up, as investors move in, according to Redfin report A Concert for Altadena offers music and healing on Eaton fire anniversary A Concert for Altadena offers music and healing on Eaton fire anniversary Christine Moore, owner of Little Flower Bakery in Pasadena, dies at 61 Christine Moore, owner of Little Flower Bakery in Pasadena, dies at 61 3 San Gabriel Valley dumpling houses that thrive under the radar 3 San Gabriel Valley dumpling houses that thrive under the radar Speed cameras are coming to Southern California, but their locations will be restricted Speed cameras are coming to Southern California, but their locations will be restricted Disneyland Monorail rider climbs on roof before firefighters evacuate stalled ride Disneyland Monorail rider climbs on roof before firefighters evacuate stalled ride AMP 97.1 FM making a ‘Morning Mess’ by airing LA version of Arizona show AMP 97.1 FM making a ‘Morning Mess’ by airing LA version of Arizona show

PAGE 8: Menu-labeling grows at area at restaurants – Pasadena Star News

By THE PASADENA STAR-NEWS | pasadenastarnews@dfmdev.com PUBLISHED: August 21, 2010 at 12:00 AM PDT | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 11:20 AM PDT Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... It’s lunch time. Do you know where the caloric content in your pasta carbonara is hiding? Chances are if you’re dining at a major chain restaurant, that scary piece of information can be found on the back of the menu. California is the first state to adopt menu-labeling legislation, which was signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger two years ago. Under the law, restaurant chains with more than 20 locations will be required to print nutritional information – such as calories and grams of saturated fat – on menus and menu boards by 2011. But many food proprietors, including Macaroni Grill and concession stands at the AMC Theaters, have jumped the gun, posting the figures well ahead of the Jan. 1 deadline. Lila Fettig, who was heading into a Rancho Cucamonga P.F. Chang’s for a weekday lunch, welcomed the move. “The more information available, the smarter you are,” she said. An increasing number of lawmakers nationwide are mulling legislation to require food facts printed on menus as a response to consumer demands and as a measure to curb the obesity epidemic. With at least a dozen states and regions following California’s lead, and with a provision in the national health care reform bill also requiring such labels, it’s highly likely that diners across the country will soon know the calorie count to every bite. “I don’t think it’s too oppressive,” said Richard Tess, manager of the Rancho Cucamonga Boston’s. “It’s for the better good of the eating population, which is all of us.” With just three locations in the state, Boston’s is not required to print nutritional facts on the menu but provides the information on request. The restaurant, a beer and pizza kind of place, boasts a healthy section on its menu, which contains six entrees under 650 calories and 15 grams of fat. Boston’s, along with seven other restaurants, are part of Rancho Cucamonga’s Healthy RC dining program, an initiative that promotes and markets eateries offering low-calorie items. Many other Inland Valley cities are also on the healthy bandwagon, offering walking clubs and planning community gardens. The Healthy Fontana initiative offers residents incentives when they track their veggie consumption and exercise routines. In Montclair, the Por La Vida program trains Latinas to make healthy lifestyle changes and encourages participants to pass the lessons on to the neighborhood. But it remains to be seen whether these get-fit efforts and menu labeling laws will make a discernible difference in Americans’ infamous eating habits. In a study published last year in the Health Affairs journal comparing New York, the first city to enact labeling laws, to nearby Newark, N.J., researchers found just 27 percent of those surveyed were influenced by the labels when they made food choices. Furthermore, researchers found the nutrition facts made no changes to calorie consumption. Fettig, who dines out regularly, said she and her husband regularly use the nutrition information as a guide. Jim Fettig said the information has steered him away from several chicken entrees at T.G.I. Friday’s and Applebee’s because he learned the sauces turned the normally lean meat into a fattening dish. Oftentimes, nutrition facts can stun even the most informed diner. If you think you should limit your red meat consumption and opt for the healthier chicken breast, consider the fixings and condiments. A steak and broccoli meal at Boston’s, at under 15 grams of fat, would be a sensible choice. But a pasta carbonara with chicken at the Cheesecake Factory will set you back with 85 grams of saturated fat. That plate of pasta – along with dishes from California Pizza Kitchen, Outback Steakhouse and others – made the Xtreme Eating Awards list put out by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer group that has been pushing menu-labeling legislation since 2003.

Great-great-granddaughter Kaydance helps Edie Ceccarelli blow out her birthday candles. (Photo by Aura Whittaker/The Willits News) By JUSTINE FREDERIKSEN | udjjf@ukiahdj.com PUBLISHED: February 28, 2024 at 10:47 AM PST | UPDATED: February 29, 2024 at 4:21 AM PST Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... For 116 years, Edith “Edie” Ceccarelli called Willits home, and Willits called her their own. “Edie is truly a beloved person of our community and an inspiration to all,” 3rd District Supervisor John Haschak said when the town celebrated her 115th birthday in February of 2023. “She was dancing and living on her own until not too many years ago. She is a living testimony to the quality of life and clean air and water in Willits and Mendocino County.” Within the past two years, Ceccarelli became not only the oldest living person in California, but the oldest living person in the United States – the only other living person older than her was another woman born in Northern California: Maria Branyas Morera, who now lives in Spain, and will turn 117 on March 4. However, last Thursday, Ceccarelli died at the Holy Spirit Residential Care Home just two weeks after her 116th birthday. “I miss her already,” said family member Evelyn Persico on Monday, describing Ceccarelli as having “loved her birthday party” held on Sunday, Feb. 4. When asked if she thought it was possible that Ceccarelli was hanging on so she could enjoy another birthday, which Willits has been celebrating with parades by her home the past several years, Persico said it was “very possible, and I did wonder that myself.” RELATED ARTICLES What caused 7 patients to regain consciousness after Medical Aid in Dying?

Experts share tips on how to handle cancelled surgeries When Edie turned 115, officials at Adventist Howard Memorial Hospital in Willits described her in a Facebook post as a “supercentenarian — someone who has reached the age of 110 and over. Born in Willits on Feb 5, 1908, on Flower Street (which now serves as Highway 20) and just a mere 20 years old when our hospital opened in 1928, (she went on to) become a local celebrity to all those who know and love her. When asked what the secret to a long life is, she stated a few things over the years, such as being content with what you have, being blessed to live a life of happiness and notably the most entertaining— to mind your own business.” The post also explains that “some say to live this long you either need to have good genes or a healthy lifestyle, but in this case, Gerontology experts say you really have to have both.” As for local services for Ceccarelli, Persico said they are still being planned and that she will provide more details once they are confirmed.

"content": "Chef Christine Moore trained in Paris and Los Angeles before opening her Little Flower bakery and cafe in Pasadena in 2007. Beloved as a pillar of the Altadena community after the Eaton fire, Moore’s death was announced by her children on Jan. 5. (Photo from Little Flower social media) By ANISSA RIVERA | arivera@scng.com PUBLISHED: January 5, 2026 at 6:50 PM PST | UPDATED: January 6, 2026 at 4:15 PM PST Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Christine Moore, the beloved Pasadena baker, cookbook author and owner of Little Flower Bakery in that city, has died, her children announced on Monday morning. She was 61. Her children Maddie, Avery and Colin announced her passing in an online post, which quickly garnered hundreds of comments from people sharing their experiences with Moore as a mentor, neighbor, community patron, and most of all, “the proudest of moms.” Her children called her “the heart and guiding force of Little Flower and our community. She was our rock, our home, our mom—the North Star of our family. Her love, kindness, and generosity changed countless lives. We will love her forever and carry her in our hearts for the rest of our lives. Our legend.” Little Flower Bakery, which had closed in recent days, will reopen on Wednesday, Jan. 7, the first anniversary of the Eaton fire. Moore and her youngest child Colin stayed at their Altadena home and saved it and other structures when the fire first exploded. From the bakery, she spearheaded distributing community meals, pushing bags of candy at children as she remembered how sweets comforted her as a child, and worrying about her staff, many of whom have been with her for decades, and her fellow business owners in Altadena and Pasadena. Victoria Knapp, outgoing chair of the Altadena Town Council, said she was shocked and saddened to learn of Moore’s unexpected passing. Moore helped her plan her 50th birthday soiree in a private room of the café. “We worked together on the menu and the room’s layout so that it would be exactly what I wanted for my guests,” Knapp said. “Beyond that, wherever I saw her in public, I was always greeted with a warm hug and we would catch up on the goings-on in our lives since we last saw each other. She will be missed by so many and no one will ever fill her shoes or match what she meant to this community. My goodness, my heart goes out to her children.” A photo posted to Little Flower Cafe and Bakery’s social media shows owner Christine Moore, far right, with her staff. (Photo from Little Flower Facebook) Within hours of hearing of her passing, Moore’s friend Randy Clement, owner of Good Neighbor Bar, wrote this: one of our greatest moments parental is sitting with christine moore outside of little flower and witnessing her tell our sons about life most people born here on this planet move through life christine moore born here on this planet life moved through her every person who has had the privilege and honor to share a moment in space with christine now knows or will one day know that they have not and will not share space with anyone like her in their life ever again Karen Drasler LuKanic remembered Moore had just opened Little Flower when she asked for help in opening her own business. So enthusiastic a mentor was Moore, she introduced LuKanic to those who helped Little Flower, including her lawyer. “Even when she had a lot of things on her plate, she was always so positive and inspirational,” LuKanic said. She ended up opening Chef Zorba’s, a restaurant in Colorado, and the two stayed in touch, joking about arranging a marriage between LuKanic’s daughter and Moore’s son Colin so they could be family. Moore’s children, LuKanic said, defined her. “You were her greatest pride, her biggest joy, the center of her universe. She spoke of you the way people speak of miracles—with wonder, with gratitude, with overwhelming pride,” LuKanic wrote online. “The rest of us are left holding memories like precious things—her laugh, her kindness, her advice, the way she showed up for the people she cared about.” In an interview with “The Gourmandise School” in 2017, Moore reminisced about her childhood in New Jersey, raised by a single mom to believe the best in people. She left home at 17, fell in love and moved to California, where she waitressed and catered for restaurants in Pasadena. The death of a friend propelled her to France, and a determination not to waste any time making her dreams come true. She worked in Paris for a year before returning Stateside, working under renowned chef Nancy Silverton. In 2007, Moore said in the foreword to her book “Little Flower: Recipes from a Café,” she found herself at age 44 “with a premature baby, a broken marriage, a 5-year-old, a 7-year-old who had just been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, a husband out of work, canceled health insurance, and no way to pay the mortgage.” That was the year she opened Little Flower Bakery in Pasadena, with help from family and friends. The “tiny cafe and candy kitchen on the edge of town” soon inspired a loyal nationwide following, loyal fans of her sea salt caramels, marshmallows, lemon lentil soup, goddess salad, chocolate caramel tartlets and brown butter shortbread. “It’s been a lot of hard work but that’s what life is,” Moore wrote in her cookbook. A second cookbook “Little Flower Baking,” was another chance to share her unadorned chef’s philosophy: “play when you cook and embrace the imperfections. Most of all, cook with love.” Christine Moore, center, with her friend Karen Drasler LuKanic, at right. Moore, owner of Little Flower Cafe and Bakery in Pasadena, has died, her children announced Monday. LuKanic, owner of Chef Zorba’s in Denver, Colorado, credits Moore with mentoring her. (Photo courtesy of Karen Drasler LuKanic) On Dec. 31, Moore posted a message to her social media thanking her community as the first anniversary of the fires approached. She would pass away without seeing that milestone, but left that recording, her voice, reflecting on the past year. One word comes to mind, she said. Community. “When the fires hit our community, everything felt unknown and honestly scary,” she said. “Yet our little community showed up in ways I could have never imagined. People showed up day in and day out, offering care, steadiness, and support when it was needed most. The way my people, our people, showed up, became my saving grace during such a difficult and uncertain time and I am endlessly grateful. Happy new year, happy life, happy rebuild. I am thankful for you, my community.” In lieu of flowers, her children request that donations be made to the nonprofit Camp Conrad Chinnock, which provides camping experiences to children and families living with Type 1 diabetes. Information on a memorial service will also be announced shortly.

"content": "By MERRILL SHINDLER | MrEats@aol.com PUBLISHED: May 2, 2008 at 12:00 AM PDT | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 1:54 AM PDT Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... It’s been almost two years since a fire shuttered Sharkeez on Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach. And the place is still under construction; no surprise when you consider it took a year just to get the permits in order. The joint is supposed to reopen in an expanded space by early summer. In the meantime, I’ve been quenching my thirst for mixed beverages, and for sports on big screens, by hanging at the elbow-benders that bookend Sharkeez – Patrick Molloy’s on one side and Sangria on the other. And I have to note that in the absence of Sharkeez, they’ve done yeoman’s work taking up the slack: You want a mojito with your Lakers or Dodgers, these places do it just fine. Like Hennessey’s down the street, Molloy’s is an Irish theme park, a place where the menu is decorated with clover (three-leaf on the cover, four-leaf inside), and where dishes have names such as O’Caesars Salad, Irish fish ‘n’ chips and The Big Molloy. You show up midweek, and you can enjoy Whiskey Wednesday (two-for-one drinks all night), Thirsty Thursday ($4 well drinks), or Four Bagger Friday (four shots for $20 from start to finish). And on a good night (which is most every night – Mojito Monday! Tequila Tuesday! Stop Light Saturday! Sunday Funday!) the place sizzles with life and lubricity. This is one hot joint. The bar is permanently packed, two and three deep. The big screens are turned up loud. And when a local team scores, there’s a hoot and holler from the crowd that rattles the picture windows. Oddly, I’ve found there’s almost always a booth available, no doubt because the denizens of Molloy’s prefer spending their evenings standing up at the bar to sitting down in anything as formal and restrictive as a booth – really, where’s the fun in that? But for those of us who go to Molloy’s for the drinks, the sports, the people-watching – and the chow – the booths are much appreciated. It’s good to sit down while you work on an appetizer platter large enough to feed a family of four, should a family of four ever opt to drop into Molloy’s. There are two appetizer samplers, both of which go very nicely with a cold mug o’ suds. One is the Mad Sampler – wings, fries, calamari and skewers, with ranch dressing for the dip. The other is the Southwestern Sampler – wings, quesadilla, egg rolls and poppers (aka armadillo eggs), once again with ranch for dipping. What I like about the samplers is that they’re about as serious as I want the food to be at a beach bar. I don’t know about you, but a dish such as chicken marsala (listed along with meatloaf and chicken pesto pasta under “Platters”) comes too close to real food for me. I go out for drinks and sports, I want dishes best eaten with your hands. At Molloy’s, those dishes abound. Though I suppose the soup demands a utensil, and you probably want to eat your salad with a fork, most of the dishes are just right for God’s own five-digit utensil. There are a baker’s dozen sandwiches: I’m partial to the Swiss, pork and ham Cuban with pickles and lots of mayo; and to the pulled pork, which is always good, though the sauce it comes in is a bit sweet for my taste. There’s a section of “Bakes & Wraps” (I don’t like wraps, never have, never will – I thought they had gone away); “Oven Fresh Pizza” (with a cardboardy crust); and “South of the Border” (good quesadillas, decent fish tacos, especially blackened). But for me, after the appetizers (properly called “Finger Food” on the menu) my faves are “Molloy’s Burgers,” especially The Big Molloy – two burger patties, tomato, onion, lettuce, pickle and fries, along with about 18 additional toppings; the bacon and pepperoncini are just fine. And for the record, Molloy’s serves breakfast Saturdays and Sundays, when you can build your own omelet with cheddar, jack, Swiss, salsa, bacon, sausage, tomato, onions, peppers, ham, avocado or guacamole, mushrooms, chilies, pepperoncini and pineapple. Pineapple? I find it problematic enough on a pizza. In a three-egg omelet, it’s just so wrong – even though a morning at Molloy’s, half a block from the beach, can be so right. Sangria feels like a work-in-progress. The thing about this particular work-in-progress, though, is that it’s felt that way for as long as I can remember. It seems to be a pair of somewhat disparate operations, connected by an adjoining door. On the left, there’s a rather lively bar; and on the right, there’s a “garden patio” showroom in which live acts perform, and where you can sit down for a (more or less) proper meal. As a rule, it’s the bar that tends to get the crowd. And in the bar, it’s drinking, not eating, that’s the event of choice. But if you do go to the right, along with flamenco on Tuesdays and jazz on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, there’s a menu that does “tapas” – though in the South Bay style, they’re more Mexican than they are Spanish. As at nearby Patrick Molloy’s, there’s a sampler plate at Sangria, called “Todas Tapas,” though it’s not quite like any other sampler on the street. In this case, it’s duck sausage, garlic mashed spuds, artichoke and spinach dip, and blackened shrimp – a little this, a little that. If it’s indeed the tapas you want, or at least the antojitos, go for the half-dozen quesadillas (though do ask that they be fully cooked; mine weren’t and the cheese was only half-melted within); for the grilled, skewered fish and shrimp; or for those aforementioned blackened shrimp. I had high hopes for the albondigas, but they arrived in a pretty crumbly state. Perhaps man was not meant to mix beef and turkey into a single meatball. If you want something more substantial, there’s a section of “Platos Principales.” The meatballs reappear atop linguine. The shrimp reappear with a blue cheese sauce that works for some, not for others; seafood and blue cheese is a decidedly quirky taste. The chicken in mole sauce – pollo Holy Mole – confused me. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t seem to be the Mexican mole I like so well.

Ackerman, who was working at the sixth annual Spacecraft Convention at the popular site for UFO enthusiasts. By JOE NELSON | jnelson@scng.com | San Bernardino Sun PUBLISHED: July 19, 2014 at 11:28 PM PDT | UPDATED: August 28, 2017 at 4:59 AM PDT Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Southern California’s Morongo Basin has long been a hotbed for UFO activity, whether real or imagined. Ever since George Van Tassel, a former flight inspector-turned-ufologist, leased an abandoned airstrip adjacent a seven-story boulder in Landers in 1947, built an inn and began hosting interplanetary conventions, the area has since been a global draw for those who believe, or want to believe. “As many as 15,000 people showed up for these conventions in the middle of the desert. They would come by plane, automobile, campers, and they would listen to these speakers,” said Barbara Harris, a member of the Morongo Basin Historical Society and expert on the history of Giant Rock, the landmark seven-story boulder where Van Tassell set up shop in 1947. Van Tassel’s guest speakers claimed to have either been abducted by extraterrestrials or had direct contact with them. They included Daniel Fry, George Adamski, Gabriel Green and Dr. Frank Stranges, founder the of National Investigations Committee on Unidentified Flying Objects, Harris said. “They were called the ‘contactees’ at the time,” Harris said. “They talked about their experiences. They talked about the government cover-ups. They talked about the X-files.” Van Tassel himself claimed to have been abducted by aliens. In 1959, he completed construction of his Integratron, a resonant tabernacle he claimed was designed with blueprints personally delivered to him by four aliens who landed at his airport in Landers in 1953 in a spaceship from another planet. Howard Hughes helped fund construction of the project, now a national tourist draw. In the spirit of the Morongo Basin’s rich UFO history, the Joshua Tree Retreat Center will host the second annual Contact in the Desert, a three-day weekend convention featuring some of the world’s most reputed ufologists and alleged contactees, from Aug. 8-11. Registration is underway, and bookings for this year’s event have more than doubled, said Paul Andrews, an event organizer. He believes the event’s popularity can be attributed mainly to the popularity of television shows like the History Channel’s “Ancient Aliens” and radio talk shows like the paranormal-theme “Coast to Coast.” The hosts of both shows, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos and George Noory, respectively, are among the featured guest speakers at this year’s event. “The whole UFO question is a huge mystery to the American public . . . , and people want to solve that mystery. They need to know,” Andrews said. Unlike UFO conventions that tend to draw the proverbial fanatics in foil hats, Contact in the Desert prides itself on taking itself seriously and assembling a pool of leading experts in the field, which can also be attributed to the event’s rising popularity, Andrews said. Also on this year’s roster of guest speakers include Erich von Daniken, author of the 1969 book “Chariots of the Gods”; Nick Pope, a former official with the UK Ministry of Defense UFO Project; David Wilcock, host of Gaiam TV and author of “The Source Field Investigations”; and Travis Walton, an alleged abductee whose book, “Fire in the Sky,” was made into a feature film. Andrews said the region’s long history of reported UFO sightings makes it the perfect spot to host such an event. “What better place to convene a conference exploring some of the greatest questions in human history than an ancient sacred site (Giant Rock) with a long-lived reputation for sightings and contact experiences?” Andrews asked in a news release. Harris, a Yucca Valley resident of 10 years and former president of the Morongo Basin Historical Society, will give a lecture on the history of Giant Rock and a tour of the site. She said the Morongo Basin is near the 33rd Parallel North, where many of the world’s UFO sightings have occurred. Since Van Tassel put down roots in Landers, his legacy has lived on, as have the reported sightings of UFOs. “Almost all the old timers have seen some kind of mystery craft some time in their lives up there,” Andrews said, adding that the 17-mile loop in Joshua Tree National Park is a popular place for people to gather, to pitch tents or sit in the back of their pickups, sipping beer and searching the sky for unidentified flying objects. George Noory, host of the radio talk show “Coast to Coast” and who succeeded Art Bell, will be opening up this year’s event via Skype on Aug. 8 and then speaking in person in panel discussions on Aug. 9. He said Joshua Tree serves as the perfect locale for the event, which coincides with the Perseid meteor showers. For the nonbelievers and skeptics who often scoff at the idea of little green men with almond-shaped eyes traversing the solar system, visiting Earth and abducting or examining humans as some sort of intergalactic scientific research project, Noory said such skepticism is actually a good thing. “I think skepticism is healthy. If you can go in with an open mind, not believing everything you hear, that is much better than a blind believer,” Noory said. Noory, however, is no skeptic. “Life is just too complicated to be randomly done without some intelligent force behind it,” Noory said, adding that some call that intelligent force the work of God, while some believe it is the work of alien life forms visiting Earth in vehicles that far surpass the technologies of modern man. “There is something that put this altogether, and they did it very well,” Noory said.

MOLINA | smolina@scng.com | San Gabriel Valley Tribune PUBLISHED: July 9, 2012 at 12:00 AM PDT | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 10:12 AM PDT Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Gallery: Montebello Hills brush fire MONTEBELLO – As the Valley baked in more than 100-degree heat Monday, a brush fire blackened about 10 acres in the Montebello Hills south of the Shops at Montebello, officials said. No homes were ever in danger, officials said, and helicopters were used to make water drops. The fire was reported at 2:48 p.m. and 12 engines responded, Montebello Fire Chief Tim Wessel said. About 200 firefighters battled the blaze, which was only about 50 percent contained by 7:30 p.m., officials said. Crews were expected to be on scene all night. “There are no evacuations, and none are planned,” Wessel said. He said he wasn’t concerned with the winds. “This is nothing,” Wessel said. “Unless we get a major shift in the winds, they shouldn’t be a factor.” Some living beneath the hills along Las Flores and East Los Amigos avenues were not so at ease. “I don’t like seeing the red flames,” Geni Garcia said. She said she has lived in the area for 27 years and cannot recall a fire lasting more than an hour or so. “They usually put it out fast,” Garcia said. Her son, David, 16, an avid photographer, was taking pictures of the helicopter water drops, the flames and the smoke. Garcia was also concerned about the Montebello Hills oil field. “It’s not a good place to have a fire,” she said. Wessel said there was no danger from or to the oil field. What was of more concern, he said, were the downed power lines. “The fire crews need to be more careful because of that added danger,” said Wessel, who added the cause of the blaze has not been determined. The hilly terrain also encumbered access. Fire departments from Los Angeles County and the cities of Monterey Park, Downey, Santa Fe Springs, Compton, Monrovia, Glendale, South Pasadena, Vernon, Sierra Madre and San Gabriel aided MFD. Eric Salazar, who was also taking photos, could not remember a bigger fire in the hills. He said he has lived in the area since 1967. sandra.molina@sgvn.com 562-698-0955, ext. 3029 Facebook X Reddit Print Newsroom Guidelines News Tips Contact Us Report an Error RevContent Feed Around the Web Most Popular RECOMMENDED FOR YOU Mountain towns eagerly await snow as recent rains put damper on busy season ICE doesn’t plan to detain Abrego Garcia again as long as judge’s order banning it stands Larry Wilson: The Eaton fire is still burning one year on from Jan. 7 ‘Recovery is failing survivors’: Fire survivors say billions still needed to come home, one year later With most customers gone, Altadena’s Lake Avenue businesses are slow to return The ‘Coachella for book lovers’ festival returns to Pasadena in February Michael Reagan, son of Ronald Reagan and longtime conservative commentator, dies at age 80 Bowls of hope fill souls, bellies at John Muir High’s Eaton Fire anniversary event At the little market that buoyed Altadena’s heart, community looks back at fire’s impact A Concert for Altadena offers music and healing on Eaton fire anniversary Top Posts & Pages Jim Nuccio’s Altadena nursery is a Southern California treasure — for a few more months Jim Nuccio’s Altadena nursery is a Southern California treasure — for a few more months ‘Unbearable’ bear holed up under Altadena home finally takes off – 6 weeks later ‘Unbearable’ bear holed up under Altadena home finally takes off – 6 weeks later Counterfeit cash defrauds In-N-Out in LA, OC, and Glendale police say; 2 Long Beach residents arrested Counterfeit cash defrauds In-N-Out in LA, OC, and Glendale police say; 2 Long Beach residents arrested Vacant lots in Altadena, Palisades areas are piling up, as investors move in, according to Redfin report Vacant lots in Altadena, Palisades areas are piling up, as investors move in, according to Redfin report A Concert for Altadena offers music and healing on Eaton fire anniversary A Concert for Altadena offers music and healing on Eaton fire anniversary Christine Moore, owner of Little Flower Bakery in Pasadena, dies at 61 Christine Moore, owner of Little Flower Bakery in Pasadena, dies at 61 3 San Gabriel Valley dumpling houses that thrive under the radar 3 San Gabriel Valley dumpling houses that thrive under the radar Speed cameras are coming to Southern California, but their locations will be restricted Speed cameras are coming to Southern California, but their locations will be restricted Disneyland Monorail rider climbs on roof before firefighters evacuate stalled ride Disneyland Monorail rider climbs on roof before firefighters evacuate stalled ride AMP 97.1 FM making a ‘Morning Mess’ by airing LA version of Arizona show AMP 97.1 FM making a ‘Morning Mess’ by airing LA version of Arizona show",

It’s lunch time. Do you know where the caloric content in your pasta carbonara is hiding? Chances are if you’re dining at a major chain restaurant, that scary piece of information can be found on the back of the menu. California is the first state to adopt menu-labeling legislation, which was signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger two years ago. Under the law, restaurant chains with more than 20 locations will be required to print nutritional information – such as calories and grams of saturated fat – on menus and menu boards by 2011. But many food proprietors, including Macaroni Grill and concession stands at the AMC Theaters, have jumped the gun, posting the figures well ahead of the Jan. 1 deadline. Lila Fettig, who was heading into a Rancho Cucamonga P.F. Chang’s for a weekday lunch, welcomed the move. “The more information available, the smarter you are,” she said. An increasing number of lawmakers nationwide are mulling legislation to require food facts printed on menus as a response to consumer demands and as a measure to curb the obesity epidemic. With at least a dozen states and regions following California’s lead, and with a provision in the national health care reform bill also requiring such labels, it’s highly likely that diners across the country will soon know the calorie count to every bite. “I don’t think it’s too oppressive,” said Richard Tess, manager of the Rancho Cucamonga Boston’s. “It’s for the better good of the eating population, which is all of us.” With just three locations in the state, Boston’s is not required to print nutritional facts on the menu but provides the information on request. The restaurant, a beer and pizza kind of place, boasts a healthy section on its menu, which contains six entrees under 650 calories and 15 grams of fat. Boston’s, along with seven other restaurants, are part of Rancho Cucamonga’s Healthy RC dining program, an initiative that promotes and markets eateries offering low-calorie items. Many other Inland Valley cities are also on the healthy bandwagon, offering walking clubs and planning community gardens. The Healthy Fontana initiative offers residents incentives when they track their veggie consumption and exercise routines. In Montclair, the Por La Vida program trains Latinas to make healthy lifestyle changes and encourages participants to pass the lessons on to the neighborhood. But it remains to be seen whether these get-fit efforts and menu labeling laws will make a discernible difference in Americans’ infamous eating habits. In a study published last year in the Health Affairs journal comparing New York, the first city to enact labeling laws, to nearby Newark, N.J., researchers found just 27 percent of those surveyed were influenced by the labels when they made food choices. Furthermore, researchers found the nutrition facts made no changes to calorie consumption. Fettig, who dines out regularly, said she and her husband regularly use the nutrition information as a guide. Jim Fettig said the information has steered him away from several chicken entrees at T.G.I. Friday’s and Applebee’s because he learned the sauces turned the normally lean meat into a fattening dish. Oftentimes, nutrition facts can stun even the most informed diner. If you think you should limit your red meat consumption and opt for the healthier chicken breast, consider the fixings and condiments. A steak and broccoli meal at Boston’s, at under 15 grams of fat, would be a sensible choice. But a pasta carbonara with chicken at the Cheesecake Factory will set you back with 85 grams of saturated fat. That plate of pasta – along with dishes from California Pizza Kitchen, Outback Steakhouse and others – made the Xtreme Eating Awards list put out by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer group that has been pushing menu-labeling legislation since 2003.

(Photo by Aura Whittaker/The Willits News) By JUSTINE FREDERIKSEN | udjjf@ukiahdj.com PUBLISHED: February 28, 2024 at 10:47 AM PST | UPDATED: February 29, 2024 at 4:21 AM PST Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... For 116 years, Edith “Edie” Ceccarelli called Willits home, and Willits called her their own. “Edie is truly a beloved person of our community and an inspiration to all,” 3rd District Supervisor John Haschak said when the town celebrated her 115th birthday in February of 2023. “She was dancing and living on her own until not too many years ago. She is a living testimony to the quality of life and clean air and water in Willits and Mendocino County.” Within the past two years, Ceccarelli became not only the oldest living person in California, but the oldest living person in the United States – the only other living person older than her was another woman born in Northern California: Maria Branyas Morera, who now lives in Spain, and will turn 117 on March 4. However, last Thursday, Ceccarelli died at the Holy Spirit Residential Care Home just two weeks after her 116th birthday. “I miss her already,” said family member Evelyn Persico on Monday, describing Ceccarelli as having “loved her birthday party” held on Sunday, Feb. 4. When asked if she thought it was possible that Ceccarelli was hanging on so she could enjoy another birthday, which Willits has been celebrating with parades by her home the past several years, Persico said it was “very possible, and I did wonder that myself.” RELATED ARTICLES What caused 7 patients to regain consciousness after Medical Aid in Dying?

Born in Willits on Feb 5, 1908, on Flower Street (which now serves as Highway 20) and just a mere 20 years old when our hospital opened in 1928, (she went on to) become a local celebrity to all those who know and love her. When asked what the secret to a long life is, she stated a few things over the years, such as being content with what you have, being blessed to live a life of happiness and notably the most entertaining— to mind your own business.” The post also explains that “some say to live this long you either need to have good genes or a healthy lifestyle, but in this case, Gerontology experts say you really have to have both.” As for local services for Ceccarelli, Persico said they are still being planned and that she will provide more details once they are confirmed.

Beloved as a pillar of the Altadena community after the Eaton fire, Moore’s death was announced by her children on Jan. 5. (Photo from Little Flower social media) By ANISSA RIVERA | arivera@scng.com PUBLISHED: January 5, 2026 at 6:50 PM PST | UPDATED: January 6, 2026 at 4:15 PM PST Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Christine Moore, the beloved Pasadena baker, cookbook author and owner of Little Flower Bakery in that city, has died, her children announced on Monday morning. She was 61. Her children Maddie, Avery and Colin announced her passing in an online post, which quickly garnered hundreds of comments from people sharing their experiences with Moore as a mentor, neighbor, community patron, and most of all, “the proudest of moms.” Her children called her “the heart and guiding force of Little Flower and our community. She was our rock, our home, our mom—the North Star of our family. Her love, kindness, and generosity changed countless lives. We will love her forever and carry her in our hearts for the rest of our lives. Our legend.” Little Flower Bakery, which had closed in recent days, will reopen on Wednesday, Jan. 7, the first anniversary of the Eaton fire. Moore and her youngest child Colin stayed at their Altadena home and saved it and other structures when the fire first exploded. From the bakery, she spearheaded distributing community meals, pushing bags of candy at children as she remembered how sweets comforted her as a child, and worrying about her staff, many of whom have been with her for decades, and her fellow business owners in Altadena and Pasadena. Victoria Knapp, outgoing chair of the Altadena Town Council, said she was shocked and saddened to learn of Moore’s unexpected passing. Moore helped her plan her 50th birthday soiree in a private room of the café. “We worked together on the menu and the room’s layout so that it would be exactly what I wanted for my guests,” Knapp said. “Beyond that, wherever I saw her in public, I was always greeted with a warm hug and we would catch up on the goings-on in our lives since we last saw each other. She will be missed by so many and no one will ever fill her shoes or match what she meant to this community. My goodness, my heart goes out to her children.” A photo posted to Little Flower Cafe and Bakery’s social media shows owner Christine Moore, far right, with her staff. (Photo from Little Flower Facebook) Within hours of hearing of her passing, Moore’s friend Randy Clement, owner of Good Neighbor Bar, wrote this: one of our greatest moments parental is sitting with christine moore outside of little flower and witnessing her tell our sons about life most people born here on this planet move through life christine moore born here on this planet life moved through her every person who has had the privilege and honor to share a moment in space with christine now knows or will one day know that they have not and will not share space with anyone like her in their life ever again Karen Drasler LuKanic remembered Moore had just opened Little Flower when she asked for help in opening her own business. So enthusiastic a mentor was Moore, she introduced LuKanic to those who helped Little Flower, including her lawyer. “Even when she had a lot of things on her plate, she was always so positive and inspirational,” LuKanic said. She ended up opening Chef Zorba’s, a restaurant in Colorado, and the two stayed in touch, joking about arranging a marriage between LuKanic’s daughter and Moore’s son Colin so they could be family. Moore’s children, LuKanic said, defined her. “You were her greatest pride, her biggest joy, the center of her universe. She spoke of you the way people speak of miracles—with wonder, with gratitude, with overwhelming pride,” LuKanic wrote online. “The rest of us are left holding memories like precious things—her laugh, her kindness, her advice, the way she showed up for the people she cared about.” In an interview with “The Gourmandise School” in 2017, Moore reminisced about her childhood in New Jersey, raised by a single mom to believe the best in people. She left home at 17, fell in love and moved to California, where she waitressed and catered for restaurants in Pasadena. The death of a friend propelled her to France, and a determination not to waste any time making her dreams come true. She worked in Paris for a year before returning Stateside, working under renowned chef Nancy Silverton. In 2007, Moore said in the foreword to her book “Little Flower: Recipes from a Café,” she found herself at age 44 “with a premature baby, a broken marriage, a 5-year-old, a 7-year-old who had just been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, a husband out of work, canceled health insurance, and no way to pay the mortgage.” That was the year she opened Little Flower Bakery in Pasadena, with help from family and friends. The “tiny cafe and candy kitchen on the edge of town” soon inspired a loyal nationwide following, loyal fans of her sea salt caramels, marshmallows, lemon lentil soup, goddess salad, chocolate caramel tartlets and brown butter shortbread. “It’s been a lot of hard work but that’s what life is,” Moore wrote in her cookbook. A second cookbook “Little Flower Baking,” was another chance to share her unadorned chef’s philosophy: “play when you cook and embrace the imperfections. Most of all, cook with love.” Christine Moore, center, with her friend Karen Drasler LuKanic, at right.

(Photo courtesy of Karen Drasler LuKanic) On Dec. 31, Moore posted a message to her social media thanking her community as the first anniversary of the fires approached. She would pass away without seeing that milestone, but left that recording, her voice, reflecting on the past year. One word comes to mind, she said. Community. “When the fires hit our community, everything felt unknown and honestly scary,” she said. “Yet our little community showed up in ways I could have never imagined. People showed up day in and day out, offering care, steadiness, and support when it was needed most. The way my people, our people, showed up, became my saving grace during such a difficult and uncertain time and I am endlessly grateful. Happy new year, happy life, happy rebuild. I am thankful for you, my community.” In lieu of flowers, her children request that donations be made to the nonprofit Camp Conrad Chinnock, which provides camping experiences to children and families living with Type 1 diabetes. Information on a memorial service will also be announced shortly.

It’s been almost two years since a fire shuttered Sharkeez on Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach. And the place is still under construction; no surprise when you consider it took a year just to get the permits in order. The joint is supposed to reopen in an expanded space by early summer. In the meantime, I’ve been quenching my thirst for mixed beverages, and for sports on big screens, by hanging at the elbow-benders that bookend Sharkeez – Patrick Molloy’s on one side and Sangria on the other. And I have to note that in the absence of Sharkeez, they’ve done yeoman’s work taking up the slack: You want a mojito with your Lakers or Dodgers, these places do it just fine. Like Hennessey’s down the street, Molloy’s is an Irish theme park, a place where the menu is decorated with clover (three-leaf on the cover, four-leaf inside), and where dishes have names such as O’Caesars Salad, Irish fish ‘n’ chips and The Big Molloy. You show up midweek, and you can enjoy Whiskey Wednesday (two-for-one drinks all night), Thirsty Thursday ($4 well drinks), or Four Bagger Friday (four shots for $20 from start to finish). And on a good night (which is most every night – Mojito Monday! Tequila Tuesday! Stop Light Saturday! Sunday Funday!) the place sizzles with life and lubricity. This is one hot joint. The bar is permanently packed, two and three deep. The big screens are turned up loud. And when a local team scores, there’s a hoot and holler from the crowd that rattles the picture windows. Oddly, I’ve found there’s almost always a booth available, no doubt because the denizens of Molloy’s prefer spending their evenings standing up at the bar to sitting down in anything as formal and restrictive as a booth – really, where’s the fun in that? But for those of us who go to Molloy’s for the drinks, the sports, the people-watching – and the chow – the booths are much appreciated. It’s good to sit down while you work on an appetizer platter large enough to feed a family of four, should a family of four ever opt to drop into Molloy’s. There are two appetizer samplers, both of which go very nicely with a cold mug o’ suds. One is the Mad Sampler – wings, fries, calamari and skewers, with ranch dressing for the dip. The other is the Southwestern Sampler – wings, quesadilla, egg rolls and poppers (aka armadillo eggs), once again with ranch for dipping. What I like about the samplers is that they’re about as serious as I want the food to be at a beach bar. I don’t know about you, but a dish such as chicken marsala (listed along with meatloaf and chicken pesto pasta under “Platters”) comes too close to real food for me. I go out for drinks and sports, I want dishes best eaten with your hands. At Molloy’s, those dishes abound. Though I suppose the soup demands a utensil, and you probably want to eat your salad with a fork, most of the dishes are just right for God’s own five-digit utensil. There are a baker’s dozen sandwiches: I’m partial to the Swiss, pork and ham Cuban with pickles and lots of mayo; and to the pulled pork, which is always good, though the sauce it comes in is a bit sweet for my taste. There’s a section of “Bakes & Wraps” (I don’t like wraps, never have, never will – I thought they had gone away); “Oven Fresh Pizza” (with a cardboardy crust); and “South of the Border” (good quesadillas, decent fish tacos, especially blackened). But for me, after the appetizers (properly called “Finger Food” on the menu) my faves are “Molloy’s Burgers,” especially The Big Molloy – two burger patties, tomato, onion, lettuce, pickle and fries, along with about 18 additional toppings; the bacon and pepperoncini are just fine. And for the record, Molloy’s serves breakfast Saturdays and Sundays, when you can build your own omelet with cheddar, jack, Swiss, salsa, bacon, sausage, tomato, onions, peppers, ham, avocado or guacamole, mushrooms, chilies, pepperoncini and pineapple. Pineapple? I find it problematic enough on a pizza. In a three-egg omelet, it’s just so wrong – even though a morning at Molloy’s, half a block from the beach, can be so right. Sangria feels like a work-in-progress. The thing about this particular work-in-progress, though, is that it’s felt that way for as long as I can remember. It seems to be a pair of somewhat disparate operations, connected by an adjoining door. On the left, there’s a rather lively bar; and on the right, there’s a “garden patio” showroom in which live acts perform, and where you can sit down for a (more or less) proper meal. As a rule, it’s the bar that tends to get the crowd. And in the bar, it’s drinking, not eating, that’s the event of choice. But if you do go to the right, along with flamenco on Tuesdays and jazz on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, there’s a menu that does “tapas” – though in the South Bay style, they’re more Mexican than they are Spanish. As at nearby Patrick Molloy’s, there’s a sampler plate at Sangria, called “Todas Tapas,” though it’s not quite like any other sampler on the street. In this case, it’s duck sausage, garlic mashed spuds, artichoke and spinach dip, and blackened shrimp – a little this, a little that. If it’s indeed the tapas you want, or at least the antojitos, go for the half-dozen quesadillas (though do ask that they be fully cooked; mine weren’t and the cheese was only half-melted within); for the grilled, skewered fish and shrimp; or for those aforementioned blackened shrimp. I had high hopes for the albondigas, but they arrived in a pretty crumbly state. Perhaps man was not meant to mix beef and turkey into a single meatball. If you want something more substantial, there’s a section of “Platos Principales.” The meatballs reappear atop linguine. The shrimp reappear with a blue cheese sauce that works for some, not for others; seafood and blue cheese is a decidedly quirky taste. The chicken in mole sauce – pollo Holy Mole – confused me. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t seem to be the Mexican mole I like so well.

By JOE NELSON | jnelson@scng.com | San Bernardino Sun PUBLISHED: July 19, 2014 at 11:28 PM PDT | UPDATED: August 28, 2017 at 4:59 AM PDT Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Southern California’s Morongo Basin has long been a hotbed for UFO activity, whether real or imagined. Ever since George Van Tassel, a former flight inspector-turned-ufologist, leased an abandoned airstrip adjacent a seven-story boulder in Landers in 1947, built an inn and began hosting interplanetary conventions, the area has since been a global draw for those who believe, or want to believe. “As many as 15,000 people showed up for these conventions in the middle of the desert. They would come by plane, automobile, campers, and they would listen to these speakers,” said Barbara Harris, a member of the Morongo Basin Historical Society and expert on the history of Giant Rock, the landmark seven-story boulder where Van Tassell set up shop in 1947. Van Tassel’s guest speakers claimed to have either been abducted by extraterrestrials or had direct contact with them. They included Daniel Fry, George Adamski, Gabriel Green and Dr. Frank Stranges, founder the of National Investigations Committee on Unidentified Flying Objects, Harris said. “They were called the ‘contactees’ at the time,” Harris said. “They talked about their experiences. They talked about the government cover-ups. They talked about the X-files.” Van Tassel himself claimed to have been abducted by aliens. In 1959, he completed construction of his Integratron, a resonant tabernacle he claimed was designed with blueprints personally delivered to him by four aliens who landed at his airport in Landers in 1953 in a spaceship from another planet. Howard Hughes helped fund construction of the project, now a national tourist draw. In the spirit of the Morongo Basin’s rich UFO history, the Joshua Tree Retreat Center will host the second annual Contact in the Desert, a three-day weekend convention featuring some of the world’s most reputed ufologists and alleged contactees, from Aug. 8-11. Registration is underway, and bookings for this year’s event have more than doubled, said Paul Andrews, an event organizer. He believes the event’s popularity can be attributed mainly to the popularity of television shows like the History Channel’s “Ancient Aliens” and radio talk shows like the paranormal-theme “Coast to Coast.” The hosts of both shows, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos and George Noory, respectively, are among the featured guest speakers at this year’s event. “The whole UFO question is a huge mystery to the American public . . . , and people want to solve that mystery. They need to know,” Andrews said. Unlike UFO conventions that tend to draw the proverbial fanatics in foil hats, Contact in the Desert prides itself on taking itself seriously and assembling a pool of leading experts in the field, which can also be attributed to the event’s rising popularity, Andrews said. Also on this year’s roster of guest speakers include Erich von Daniken, author of the 1969 book “Chariots of the Gods”; Nick Pope, a former official with the UK Ministry of Defense UFO Project; David Wilcock, host of Gaiam TV and author of “The Source Field Investigations”; and Travis Walton, an alleged abductee whose book, “Fire in the Sky,” was made into a feature film. Andrews said the region’s long history of reported UFO sightings makes it the perfect spot to host such an event. “What better place to convene a conference exploring some of the greatest questions in human history than an ancient sacred site (Giant Rock) with a long-lived reputation for sightings and contact experiences?” Andrews asked in a news release. Harris, a Yucca Valley resident of 10 years and former president of the Morongo Basin Historical Society, will give a lecture on the history of Giant Rock and a tour of the site. She said the Morongo Basin is near the 33rd Parallel North, where many of the world’s UFO sightings have occurred. Since Van Tassel put down roots in Landers, his legacy has lived on, as have the reported sightings of UFOs. “Almost all the old timers have seen some kind of mystery craft some time in their lives up there,” Andrews said, adding that the 17-mile loop in Joshua Tree National Park is a popular place for people to gather, to pitch tents or sit in the back of their pickups, sipping beer and searching the sky for unidentified flying objects. George Noory, host of the radio talk show “Coast to Coast” and who succeeded Art Bell, will be opening up this year’s event via Skype on Aug. 8 and then speaking in person in panel discussions on Aug. 9. He said Joshua Tree serves as the perfect locale for the event, which coincides with the Perseid meteor showers. For the nonbelievers and skeptics who often scoff at the idea of little green men with almond-shaped eyes traversing the solar system, visiting Earth and abducting or examining humans as some sort of intergalactic scientific research project, Noory said such skepticism is actually a good thing. “I think skepticism is healthy. If you can go in with an open mind, not believing everything you hear, that is much better than a blind believer,” Noory said. Noory, however, is no skeptic. “Life is just too complicated to be randomly done without some intelligent force behind it,” Noory said, adding that some call that intelligent force the work of God, while some believe it is the work of alien life forms visiting Earth in vehicles that far surpass the technologies of modern man. “There is something that put this altogether, and they did it very well,” Noory said.

MOLINA | smolina@scng.com | San Gabriel Valley Tribune PUBLISHED: July 9, 2012 at 12:00 AM PDT | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 10:12 AM PDT Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Gallery: Montebello Hills brush fire MONTEBELLO – As the Valley baked in more than 100-degree heat Monday, a brush fire blackened about 10 acres in the Montebello Hills south of the Shops at Montebello, officials said. No homes were ever in danger, officials said, and helicopters were used to make water drops. The fire was reported at 2:48 p.m. and 12 engines responded, Montebello Fire Chief Tim Wessel said. About 200 firefighters battled the blaze, which was only about 50 percent contained by 7:30 p.m., officials said. Crews were expected to be on scene all night. “There are no evacuations, and none are planned,” Wessel said. He said he wasn’t concerned with the winds. “This is nothing,” Wessel said. “Unless we get a major shift in the winds, they shouldn’t be a factor.” Some living beneath the hills along Las Flores and East Los Amigos avenues were not so at ease. “I don’t like seeing the red flames,” Geni Garcia said. She said she has lived in the area for 27 years and cannot recall a fire lasting more than an hour or so. “They usually put it out fast,” Garcia said. Her son, David, 16, an avid photographer, was taking pictures of the helicopter water drops, the flames and the smoke. Garcia was also concerned about the Montebello Hills oil field. “It’s not a good place to have a fire,” she said. Wessel said there was no danger from or to the oil field. What was of more concern, he said, were the downed power lines. “The fire crews need to be more careful because of that added danger,” said Wessel, who added the cause of the blaze has not been determined. The hilly terrain also encumbered access. Fire departments from Los Angeles County and the cities of Monterey Park, Downey, Santa Fe Springs, Compton, Monrovia, Glendale, South Pasadena, Vernon, Sierra Madre and San Gabriel aided MFD. Eric Salazar, who was also taking photos, could not remember a bigger fire in the hills. He said he has lived in the area since 1967. sandra.molina@sgvn.com 562-698-0955, ext. 3029 Facebook X Reddit Print Newsroom Guidelines News Tips Contact Us Report an Error RevContent Feed Around the Web Most Popular RECOMMENDED FOR YOU Mountain towns eagerly await snow as recent rains put damper on busy season ICE doesn’t plan to detain Abrego Garcia again as long as judge’s order banning it stands Larry Wilson: The Eaton fire is still burning one year on from Jan. 7 ‘Recovery is failing survivors’: Fire survivors say billions still needed to come home, one year later With most customers gone, Altadena’s Lake Avenue businesses are slow to return The ‘Coachella for book lovers’ festival returns to Pasadena in February Michael Reagan, son of Ronald Reagan and longtime conservative commentator, dies at age 80 Bowls of hope fill souls, bellies at John Muir High’s Eaton Fire anniversary event At the little market that buoyed Altadena’s heart, community looks back at fire’s impact A Concert for Altadena offers music and healing on Eaton fire anniversary Top Posts & Pages Jim Nuccio’s Altadena nursery is a Southern California treasure — for a few more months Jim Nuccio’s Altadena nursery is a Southern California treasure — for a few more months ‘Unbearable’ bear holed up under Altadena home finally takes off – 6 weeks later ‘Unbearable’ bear holed up under Altadena home finally takes off – 6 weeks later Counterfeit cash defrauds In-N-Out in LA, OC, and Glendale police say; 2 Long Beach residents arrested Counterfeit cash defrauds In-N-Out in LA, OC, and Glendale police say; 2 Long Beach residents arrested Vacant lots in Altadena, Palisades areas are piling up, as investors move in, according to Redfin report Vacant lots in Altadena, Palisades areas are piling up, as investors move in, according to Redfin report A Concert for Altadena offers music and healing on Eaton fire anniversary A Concert for Altadena offers music and healing on Eaton fire anniversary Christine Moore, owner of Little Flower Bakery in Pasadena, dies at 61 Christine Moore, owner of Little Flower Bakery in Pasadena, dies at 61 3 San Gabriel Valley dumpling houses that thrive under the radar 3 San Gabriel Valley dumpling houses that thrive under the radar Speed cameras are coming to Southern California, but their locations will be restricted Speed cameras are coming to Southern California, but their locations will be restricted Disneyland Monorail rider climbs on roof before firefighters evacuate stalled ride Disneyland Monorail rider climbs on roof before firefighters evacuate stalled ride AMP 97.1 FM making a ‘Morning Mess’ by airing LA version of Arizona show AMP 97.1 FM making a ‘Morning Mess’ by airing LA version of Arizona show\n\n\n────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\nPAGE 7: About Us – Pasadena Star News\nURL: https://www.pasadenastarnews.com/about-us\nWords: 322\n────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\n\nFeatured The Pasadena Star-News is a digital and print news media company based in Pasadena, California.

It’s lunch time. Do you know where the caloric content in your pasta carbonara is hiding? Chances are if you’re dining at a major chain restaurant, that scary piece of information can be found on the back of the menu. California is the first state to adopt menu-labeling legislation, which was signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger two years ago. Under the law, restaurant chains with more than 20 locations will be required to print nutritional information – such as calories and grams of saturated fat – on menus and menu boards by 2011. But many food proprietors, including Macaroni Grill and concession stands at the AMC Theaters, have jumped the gun, posting the figures well ahead of the Jan. 1 deadline. Lila Fettig, who was heading into a Rancho Cucamonga P.F. Chang’s for a weekday lunch, welcomed the move. “The more information available, the smarter you are,” she said. An increasing number of lawmakers nationwide are mulling legislation to require food facts printed on menus as a response to consumer demands and as a measure to curb the obesity epidemic. With at least a dozen states and regions following California’s lead, and with a provision in the national health care reform bill also requiring such labels, it’s highly likely that diners across the country will soon know the calorie count to every bite. “I don’t think it’s too oppressive,” said Richard Tess, manager of the Rancho Cucamonga Boston’s. “It’s for the better good of the eating population, which is all of us.” With just three locations in the state, Boston’s is not required to print nutritional facts on the menu but provides the information on request. The restaurant, a beer and pizza kind of place, boasts a healthy section on its menu, which contains six entrees under 650 calories and 15 grams of fat. Boston’s, along with seven other restaurants, are part of Rancho Cucamonga’s Healthy RC dining program, an initiative that promotes and markets eateries offering low-calorie items. Many other Inland Valley cities are also on the healthy bandwagon, offering walking clubs and planning community gardens. The Healthy Fontana initiative offers residents incentives when they track their veggie consumption and exercise routines. In Montclair, the Por La Vida program trains Latinas to make healthy lifestyle changes and encourages participants to pass the lessons on to the neighborhood. But it remains to be seen whether these get-fit efforts and menu labeling laws will make a discernible difference in Americans’ infamous eating habits. In a study published last year in the Health Affairs journal comparing New York, the first city to enact labeling laws, to nearby Newark, N.J., researchers found just 27 percent of those surveyed were influenced by the labels when they made food choices. Furthermore, researchers found the nutrition facts made no changes to calorie consumption. Fettig, who dines out regularly, said she and her husband regularly use the nutrition information as a guide. Jim Fettig said the information has steered him away from several chicken entrees at T.G.I. Friday’s and Applebee’s because he learned the sauces turned the normally lean meat into a fattening dish. Oftentimes, nutrition facts can stun even the most informed diner. If you think you should limit your red meat consumption and opt for the healthier chicken breast, consider the fixings and condiments. A steak and broccoli meal at Boston’s, at under 15 grams of fat, would be a sensible choice. But a pasta carbonara with chicken at the Cheesecake Factory will set you back with 85 grams of saturated fat. That plate of pasta – along with dishes from California Pizza Kitchen, Outback Steakhouse and others – made the Xtreme Eating Awards list put out by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer group that has been pushing menu-labeling legislation since 2003.

For 116 years, Edith “Edie” Ceccarelli called Willits home, and Willits called her their own. “Edie is truly a beloved person of our community and an inspiration to all,” 3rd District Supervisor John Haschak said when the town celebrated her 115th birthday in February of 2023. “She was dancing and living on her own until not too many years ago. She is a living testimony to the quality of life and clean air and water in Willits and Mendocino County.” Within the past two years, Ceccarelli became not only the oldest living person in California, but the oldest living person in the United States – the only other living person older than her was another woman born in Northern California: Maria Branyas Morera, who now lives in Spain, and will turn 117 on March 4. However, last Thursday, Ceccarelli died at the Holy Spirit Residential Care Home just two weeks after her 116th birthday. “I miss her already,” said family member Evelyn Persico on Monday, describing Ceccarelli as having “loved her birthday party” held on Sunday, Feb. 4. When asked if she thought it was possible that Ceccarelli was hanging on so she could enjoy another birthday, which Willits has been celebrating with parades by her home the past several years, Persico said it was “very possible, and I did wonder that myself.” RELATED ARTICLES What caused 7 patients to regain consciousness after Medical Aid in Dying?

When asked what the secret to a long life is, she stated a few things over the years, such as being content with what you have, being blessed to live a life of happiness and notably the most entertaining— to mind your own business.” The post also explains that “some say to live this long you either need to have good genes or a healthy lifestyle, but in this case, Gerontology experts say you really have to have both.” As for local services for Ceccarelli, Persico said they are still being planned and that she will provide more details once they are confirmed.
