Several months after the restaurant opened to the public, Hugo's Restaurant finally had its official ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday.
Though open since last winter, Hugo's Restaurant held its official ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday evening. Co-owners Tom and Emily Kaplan; Richard and Leslie Brenner welcomed City Councilmembers Illece Buckley Weber and William D. Koehler, Jill Lederer, CEO of the Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce and the community to the festivities. When asked why the business waited so long to hold the ceremony, spokesman Rich Leivenberg told Patch, "It was planned for an earlier date, but due to scheduling difficulties we were unable to get it done." After the ceremony, champaigne and appetizers were served.

Sumac's Cindy Simmons and Mariposa's Nanci Powers write and illustrate 'Bad Bill and the Marshmallows,' a true childhood tale about a boy who can't make the right choices.
Nine years ago, former Sumac Elementary School principal Karen Hansen asked kindergarten teacher Cindy Simmons if she would take a student teacher. Simmons said no. A few weeks later Hansen asked again. This time, Simmons agreed under the condition that the student teacher was a “grown-up” and Simmons was able to interview her first. They clicked. The student teacher she agreed to bring onboard was Nanci Powers. At the time, Simmons had become somewhat famous at the school for telling her 'Bad Bill' stories–childhood tales about her younger brother, Bill, who just couldn’t seem to make the right choices and would have suffer the consequences of his actions.

If I were to sell parts for a car that were not original to a manufacturer but listed them as such, my business would be fined and possibly shut down. Any of these sushi shops or restaurants selling anything other than what they are representing is fraud and should be dealt with harshly. more ›
