• New California law adds more experts to HOAs balcony inspection list

  26-07-2024 17:30 via ocregister.com
  
  A new law signed recently in Sacramento will expand the field of experts eligible to inspect balconies or “exterior elevated elements” at California homeowners associations.
  Civil Code Section 5551 requires that all HOAs inspect elevated elements by Dec. 31, 2024. That statute requires the inspection to be conducted by a licensed architect or structural engineer, and many HOAs are having difficulty finding such professionals to perform the inspections.

  NEW YORK — Aryna Sabalenka got past Jessica Pegula 7-5, 7-5 in a rollicking U.S. Open women’s final Saturday to win her first championship at Flushing Meadows and third Grand Slam title of her career.

  08-09-2024 00:17 via ocregister.com
  
  ORANGE — The Villa Park football team put together a brilliant game plan for its nonleague game against Upland on Saturday at El Modena High School.
  And quarterback Nate Lewis, who is also the Spartans’ kicker, did an excellent job executing that plan, with support from running back Dominic Ancich and the offensive line.
  After a back-and-forth battle, the game was decided on a 40-yard field goal from Lewis with 33 seconds remaining, lifting the Spartans to a 34-33 victory.

• U.S. Open men’s final: Jannik Sinner looks to end Taylor Fritz’s magical run

  07-09-2024 21:03 via ocregister.com
  
  NEW YORK — Taylor Fritz got choked up when it hit him that he had reached the U.S. Open final.
  His explanation: “I cry at happy endings of movies and not at sad stuff. That’s kind of just how I am.”
  Imagine what the 26-year-old Californian’s reaction would be if he actually were to take home the trophy by beating No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy on Sunday in Arthur Ashe Stadium. That would make Fritz the first American man to collect a Grand Slam title in 21 years.

• Why this slow-growing shrub never fails to bring a smile

  Certain plants bring a smile to my face whenever I see them, and one of them is coastal woollybush (Adenanthos sericeus). 
  This is a shrub with plumes of soft needle-like foliage. It is native to the coast of southwestern Australia and is therefore tolerant of salt and wind. Woollybush is slow-growing, may eventually reach a height of ten feet, but typically stays 3-5 feet tall. One caveat is in order: As is the case with all other members of the Protea family of plants (Banksia, Grevillea,

  What’s the first industry to fall victim to climate change? There’s a decent argument that it already happened — more than 600 years ago.
  When the Norman Conquest in 1066 installed a French feudal aristocracy in the British Isles, the invaders brought with them a love of winemaking. Those skills flourished in the conditions of the Medieval Warm Period, a patch of unusually high temperatures from about 950 to 1250 that allowed vineyards t
