Boaters Make Successful Descent of L.A. River in 52-mile Los Angeles River Expedition
A eclectic group of Angelenos successfully navigated kayaks and canoes down the full length of the 52-mile L.A. River (from headwaters to estuary) as part of the first-ever Los Angeles River Expedition 2008. The three-day exploratory expedition demonstrated that the whole river merits a determination as a "traditional navigable water" -- which would entitle the river to the highest standards of federal clean water protections under the Clean Water Act. The Army Corps of Engineers, however, still maintains that only 4 miles of the entire river can be considered traditionally navigable waters, and that boats are not allowed in the LA River, despite California public trust laws that do not support that notion.

Travel To Los Angeles: Hollywood With A Heart
Los Angeles might be the big budget capital of cinema, but that is not to say that the Hollywood haute and haughty permeate the city?s cultural mood on its many other levels. Los Angeles is a multilayered and multiethnic urban and suburban sprawl from the waves crashing beneath Santa Monica Pier to the snow capped mountains of San Gabriel. State of the art entertainment and arts facilities are entangled among the high rises of Downtown, the remaining bohemian hippie culture of Venice Beach and the multitude of 5 a.m. joggers, housekeepers, writers and musicians who call this City of Angels home.

Northern California Resort Announces New Food & Beverage Team
Sonoma, CA (PRWEB) March 15, 2008 -- The Lodge at Sonoma, a Renaissance Resort and Spa, welcomes two exceptional team members to the food and beverage program, Executive Chef Roland Scheller and Director of Food and Beverage Gary Perez. Supporting the award winning Carneros Bistro & Wine Bar along with all banquet and catering services, Scheller and Perez bring international experience and Bay Area expertise to the food and beverage operations at this four-diamond wine country resort property.
Chef Scheller began his passion for culinary arts in Switzerland, where an apprenticeship at Interlaken's Hotel Du Lac lead to a three year chef certification program from the Swiss Department of Education. Continuing to hone his skills and gain international experience, Chef Scheller held a number of chef positions at resorts in Zurich, Colorado, Washington, and Ohio before joining the Marriot family in Oak Brook, Illinois. Chef Scheller spent nearly a decade as Executive Chef at Oak Brook Renaissance and Oak Brook Marriott before opening his own hotel, Francie's Inn outside of Chicago. Scheller's exceptional talent and global influence is an invaluable asset to The Lodge at Sonoma and the property's culinary capabilities for events, weddings, and business conferences.
With a reputation for building four-diamond programs at Bay Area properties, Food & Beverage Director Gary Perez has his sights set on perfecting the operations for all buffet and banquet occasions at The Lodge at Sonoma, CA hotel. Inspired by the love of the hospitality and service industry, Perez was instrumental in launching five California Café restaurants and bringing San Francisco's Hornblower Dining Yachts to industry standards. In addition, Perez can take credit for achieving the first four-diamond award at the prestigious Claremont Resort in Berkeley, CA for their upscale restaurant concept.
Most recently Perez spent time at Arden Hills Resort Club & Spa, a premier property in Sacramento, CA. Under his direction, the resort hosted in excess of 400 weddings a year among many other on-site events. Like Scheller, Perez has excelled in the Marriot Corporation, having held the Director of Food & Beverage position at both the Oakland Marriott Convention Center and at the Renaissance Parc 55 Hotel in San Francisco, overseeing all convention services.
The addition of Perez and Scheller to The Lodge at Sonoma promises to bring a new standard of excellence to an already stellar program, where Chef de Cuisine Janine Falvo, 2007 "Rising Star Chef" from Restaurant Hospitality, has built a loyal following at the award winning wine country restaurant, Carneros Bistro & Wine Bar at The Lodge at Sonoma.

Whether a stay at The Lodge at Sonoma is for business or purely pleasure, it is sure to be a luxurious and unforgettable experience.
