OVER THE HILL GANG

My name if Butch Dubarri and I must admit I am a CNN ju**ie. Recently I have been watching CNN's tech/photo journalist Kara Swisher's series entitled, "Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever." Upon watching this my mind immediately thought about a group of senior men who meet at least a couple times a week at the Montebello YMCA and who call themselves "The Over the Hill Gang."

Ms. Swisher's investigation was into the science/business of longevity and its consequences. Her investigation made me think of this group of men who often make fun of their own longevity. They have come to understand (as did Ms. Swisher), that exercise is only part of the equation. All of them realize that there is much more to their quest for a long life and that there are other components that contribute to their longevity. Some of the more important facts that they experience at the "Y" are communication, joke telling, sharing a cup of coffee, an occasional day trip, and even the sharing of their various medical experiences. They share antidotes about ageing, politics, marriage, sports, and numerous mutual life lessons. So, their work outs actually become a form of life support.

The fact is none of us can predict the quantity of our lives, but all of us do have some control over the quality. At one time there were at least 10 members of the gang ranging from 65 to 96. You will often hear them say our motto is simple, "better to be over the hill than under it."

NAZCA Fusion Officially Opens at BLVD Market

NAZCA Fusion is excited to announce its official opening at BLVD Market in Montebello. Founded by local entrepreneurs Valerie Fernandez and JeanPoll Barrenechea, NAZCA was created to share the rich flavors and traditions of Peru while bringing a fresh, modern dining experience to the community.

Inspired by the history and culture of the Nazca civilization, the restaurant offers a menu featuring authentic Peruvian favorites including Lomo Saltado, fresh Ceviche, Pollo a la Brasa, Arroz Chaufa, and other signature dishes made with high-quality ingredients and bold flavors.

The owners chose BLVD Market because they believe it represents the future of community dining in Montebello. More than just a food hall, BLVD Market brings together diverse local businesses, cultures, and families in one welcoming space. NAZCA was created to be part of that vision—offering guests an authentic taste of Peru while contributing to the vibrant atmosphere that makes BLVD Market a destination for great food and meaningful connections.

“We wanted to create more than just a restaurant,” said the founders. “We wanted to build a place where people can experience Peruvian culture through food, bring family and friends together, and become part of a growing community. BLVD Market felt like the perfect home for that vision.”
