Owning and operating a restaurant is not the easiest of endeavors.
Carlos Weir and his wife, Erika, have accepted the challenge of running not one but two local restaurants. The first, Las Chabelas, opened in Brawley on Main Street in 2003 with only four tables, two booths and three employees. The second restaurant is The Courtroom Bourbons and Grill in El Centro, which opened in 2014.
Carlos Weir is native Californian who grew up in the greater Los Angeles area and moved to Imperial Valley more than 30 years ago. Erika Weir is a native of Imperial Valley.
When the couple decided to operate a restaurant, they knew the risk. Although the closure rate for restaurants in the first year is reported as high as 90 percent, the real number over the past 20 years is closer to 17 percent. This is actually a lower failure rate than other service-providing businesses, where 19 percent fail in the first year.
Pratt Tribune
Tom Webb, 79, of Pratt, has been dealing with Parkinson s Disease for several years now. It s something that affects his life in multiple ways, none of them easy, none of them fun. He got an idea that having a service dog might help his situation two years ago, and when he found Melanie, a black lab puppy in the Presbyterian Church parking lot, a partnership was forged that has blessed both man and his best friend. There was a man there with a box of about a dozen puppies one day, Webb said. I took a look and kind of had an idea of what I wanted - a black one, a female - and there she was. But I told the guy that I wanted to take the puppy home and check with my with if this was what we wanted. He gave me permission to do that.
