Paso Robles Magazine, May 2013
Pan Jewelers Brings Socially Responsible Jewelry to Paso Robles Pan Jewelers is pleased to announce that they are now carrying the Sarah’s Hope® Jewelry collection. Sarah’s Hope® is a unique jewelry line that helps provide microloans and small business training to women in impoverished situations. “We were impressed with the designs and the unique colored stones. We also were drawn to the stories of the women who have inspired the pieces in the line,” said June Ellart.
Nicaragua visiting with Eusebia and saw the impact the initial $100 and subsequent loans had made 5 years later. Her business had grown to 100 acres of red beans, 56 head of cattle, a small-scale cheese production operation and a recently added hog farm.”
Sarah’s Hope® funds microloans and training for women-owned businesses in the USA and internationally by donating a minimum of 10% of its profits to Eusebia (far right) and Sarah (center) shown here at the grand opening of her community/s first bank in Nicaragua. assist non-profit microfinance organizations. International business loans are made in small amounts that typically range from $50$1200. This might not sound like much, but in countries with an average income of less than $100/month, it is enough to help women gain self-sufficiency, provide for their families and enrich their communities. One of the women who has received microloans is Eusebia. “Eusebia lives in Teustepe, a small village in Nicaragua,” says Sarah. “Her husband was killed in the revolutionary war. With 12 children to provide for, her life was very difficult. Then in 1999 Hurricane Mitch came through and wiped out her whole farming operation. Through Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA), the microfinance organization we partner with, we were able to make a $100 loan so she could buy one acre of red beans.” But Sarah’s interest in these women doesn’t end with making the loans. “I was in

One of the pieces in the Sarah’s Hope® Jewelry collection is named in honor of Eusebia. It is reversible and reflects Eusebia’s story. “No matter what situation she finds herself in, she perseveres and transforms it into something new and beautiful. The reversibility of this piece captures how she approaches life,” says Smith.
Each piece in the line is custom designed. Sarah travels in the USA and internationally to visit with microloan and small business training recipients, many after whom the jewelry is dedicated to and named after. It is their stories that inspire the designs within the collection. According to Ellart, “We are happy to offer a socially responsible line that makes a difference in the lives of others.”

There are many success stories but two young people stood out for both Corella and Webb. They spoke proudly of two high school seniors, Scarlet Martinez and Jose Ventura. I, too, have worked with both of these students as a teacher at PRHS and I share in the pride and excitement for their future and the hope for all the students involved in the renewed pride in ‘being an Oak Park kid’. Jose loves to work with food and has a calm, friendly demeanor that is perfect for the hospitality industry. Scarlett has a positive attitude, strong initiative and a natural leadership quality. Jose is successfully employed by The Taproom restaurant; moving up from bus work to opportunities in the kitchen. Food is his passion and he has found a good fit with the folks at Firestone Walker. Scarlet started with Subway and has been offered opportunities to

advance to management. More recently she has added a sales representative position with TJ Maxx. I asked Scarlett, “What was the most helpful thing you have learned at YW for your jobs. She said, “How to count money. People always compliment me and say ‘not enough people do that anymore’. Scarlet shared that she has many regulars at Subway. She knows their name and something about them...and they know about her. Scarlet loves the connection with her customers. Many would say that the positive qualities of these students were hidden as 9th grade students; masked under tough acting behavior, which has now softened to show their true hearts. Scarlet is a member of Friday Night Live, a club devoted to living drug and alcohol free, under the leadership of Natalee Johnson. During spring break she traveled with the SkillsUSA group to San Diego for the State Competitions. She competed in Criminal Justice under the mentorship of Jason Taylor. She didn’t win a medal but said, “I will next year!” Both Jose and Scarlet are fulltime high school students and are keeping their grades up while working! Both students want to thank everyone at Oak Park for their guidance and support. Each was given a $1000 scholarship to continue their studies in college. Jose will be attending culinary classes at Allan Hancock College, while continuing to advance at the Taproom. Scarlet will attend Cuesta College, and then transfer to Fresno State while working to support herself. These two have their eyes focused on today and the future!

EDUCATION & YOUTH
Honor Band prodigies and Big Band pros thrive in Cuesta Jazz
Melissa Chavez “Wow” is an appropriate word to describe the jazz concerts at Cuesta College. If you have not attended any of the performances, then hurry already. The semester is ending all too soon. Big Band fans of Count Basie and Doc Severinsen will not have sacrificed a thing to listen any of the Night Band, Jazz Ensemble or Jazz Combo groups. Musicians who have played together over time and improvise well are a thing of beauty and Cuesta has it. Beloved standards by Duke Ellington, Red Mitchell, John Coltrane, Cole Porter and Antonio Jobim, to name a few, have graced the programs this season. Directed by Ron McCarley, Cuesta’s Jazz Studies Program offers ten courses. His performing groups span generations. In the Night Band, it’s not uncommon to see thirty-year veterans take turns soloing beside teenage counterparts. To keep things fresh, local artists put their own spin on familiar tunes, too, such as a funkified rendition of “Tequila” by sax veteran John D’Andrea or arrangements by wunderkind saxophonist, Anthony Donatelli. Guest artists are a substantial part of the curriculum, and have included Bob Sheppard, Andy Martin, Kneebody, Ernie Watts, Bobby Shew, Tom Scott and Bob McChesney. The excellent reputation at Cuesta consistently attracts the attention of prestigious schools to its students, such as Berklee College of Music, Eastman School of Music, University of Miami, Cal State Long Beach and more. Likewise, the jazz program seems geared to mentor younger students and acts as a feeder for graduates from local high schools. At Cuesta, these musically gifted grads can receive education and hands-on experience in recording and semi-professional playing before transferring to a four-year college. Most recently, North County high school students shined at the Central Coast Jazz Festival held in March at Cuesta College. “Twenty-two bands competed this

year in three divisions,” said McCarley. Placing fourth in the Novice category was Paso Robles High School, led by Director Sonny

Galvan. “There was a lot of competition, considering that bands compete from the Bay Area to San Diego. The top four had very close scores and Paso High did very well,” he noted. For all of the urban competition, “the big winner was Atascadero High School. They took it all and it was their first time ever to win.” The Atascadero High School Band is led by Director Nate Conrad. Several members who recently performed at Cuesta College were high school Honor Band and Cuesta Jazz Ensemble members from North County. They include Harlan Guio and Spencer Hutton from Templeton, Alec Wingfield from Paso Robles, and four more students from Atascadero. A couple of favorite instrumentals from the program this season are Dave Brubeck’s “Blue Rondo a la Turk” and an enlightening arrangement of “Everything in Its Right Place” by Radiohead. McCarley’s experience and success as a director is vast and impressive, but his manner remains nurturing and unassuming.The CalArts and Westmont College grad previously worked in Santa Barbara, directing an array of professional and college-level big bands and combos, and has received invitations on behalf of the Jazz Ensemble to perform nationwide and in Europe. As a performer, the director’s skills in brass and woodwind instruments are varied, soulful and artistically satisfying. Recently, McCarley took a sabbatical to glean the expertise of other programs and cultivate new vision for upcoming semesters. With the assistance of Director Dave Becker, whom McCarley respectfully dubs the “saxophone
titan” of San Luis Obispo County, McCarley’s department progressed in more than capable hands. Becker, who teaches several music classes at Cuesta College and Cal Poly University, is also heavily involved in the musical support of community nonprofit organizations. Three performances that should not be missed are also the remaining concerts of the season. The Night Band performs at the SLO Cuesta College campus CPAC Main Stage on May 13 at 7:30pm ($12/adult and $7 seniors/students). The Jazz Ensembles Concert plays on May 18 at 7:30pm ($12/7) on the CPAC Main Stage. This concert will feature the award winning Cuesta Jazz Ensemble, which is the student big band, and the best of the combos. The Cuesta College Combos play in the Experimental Theater on May 21 at 7:30pm (Free admission). For those who especially enjoy a more experimental jazz style, improvisation, and original compositions, the combos have plenty to offer. Cuesta Jazz is arguably a gem of a program, but it also has been no stranger to severe funding cuts in recent years. Friends of the Cultural and Performing Arts Center (CPAC) is a nonprofit foundation that endeavors to promote interaction between the Center and the community toward encouraging audience support for its performing arts curriculum. Program administrators and the artists at Cuesta College who devote their talents and resources to bring the public their best in the performing arts both welcome your support and attendance at the concerts.

Junior pianists to travel through Poland for Cultural Exchange
By Melissa Chavez Two Paderewski Festival Youth Piano Competition finalists will realize the opportunity of a lifetime when they travel to Poland to take part in Youth Cultural Exchange in June. Master classes, workshops, chamber music performances, concerts and touring will provide unforgettable experiences for Jack Raventos, 13, of Orcutt, and Daniel Ha, 13, of Pismo Beach. Not only did Raventos and Ha win first and second place medals, respectively, in the Junior Division of the competition last November, the students received an enthusiastic audience response for their public recitals in the Paso Robles Inn Ballroom preceding the Gala Concert. Raventos earned a $400 cash award for his performance of Grande Valse Brillante, Op. 18. As the straight-A
student departed the stage to hearty applause for his impressive execution of Chopin’s waltz composition, Board President Joel Peterson quipped, “See you next year!” Ha, a straight-A student at Judkins Middle School, added to his 2010 Honorable Mention and 2011 First Place awards a $300 cash prize for his accomplished performance of the third movement from Mozart’s Sonata in F major, KV 332. Both Raventos and Ha study with Dr. Lynne Garrett. “Going to Poland this year will mean so much to me,” says Ha. “I have always wondered what it would be like to visit Ignacy Jan Paderewski’s homeland. It will be an honor to perform and sleep in the manor of one of the greatest musicians of all time.” “The Paderewski Youth Piano Competition pushed me to a new level of music and has made a big
impact on my life,” emphasized Raventos. “When I took First Place Junior Division, I was so excited because the hard work and dedication paid off. I love the challenge and opportunity to perform in Poland.” The Youth Piano Competition is consistently among the most anticipated of all Paderewski Festival events. Dedicated student pianists from Monterey, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties compete for cash awards and perform at the Paderewski Festival in Paso Robles. Students from 10 to 14 years old compete in the Junior Category. Students, ages 15 to 18, comprise the Senior Category. Judging the 2012 competition were India D’Avignon (California Poly, San Luis Obispo), Idona Cabrinha (Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo) and Marek Ze-
browski (Director of the Polish Music Center, USC Thornton School of Music and Paderewski Festival Artistic Director). The Paderewski Festival, slated for November 7-10, 2013 in Paso Robles, is a non-profit organization that sponsors an annual series of concerts featuring internationally acclaimed artists, the Paderewski Youth Piano Competition, which is held in October, and the Student Exchange Program. For more information on the Paderewski Festival Youth Piano Competition, call 239-0873, e-mail info@paderewskifest.com, or visit www.paderewskifest.com.

Cameron Holt and his Tuba are heading to USC! Talent and P a ssion By Chuck Desmond
Forty-eight thousand young men and women applied to USC with hopes to begin their Freshman Year this Fall. Two thousand, eight hundred were accepted! That’s 5.8%. CAMERON HOLT, a senior at PRHS, is one of those who received one of the very official and clearly few certificates of admission. This didn’t just happen by accident and here’s the story of hard work, dedication, sponsors, and perhaps most importantly, a true mentor. Cameron is 17 years old; he was born in El Paso de Robles and went through our public school system. In 5th grade when the kids are given a choice of Band, Choir, or PE, he chose band and was given the trombone. In 6th grade, he met the person that perhaps had the most significant impact on his life so far - Ken Schmutz, the music teacher. You remember that Ken and ‘quality youth music’ in Paso became synonymous until his untimely passing a year ago. Ken and Cameron were both at Lewis Middle School and Ken bribed Cameron with a free
fast-food lunch if he’d play the tuba. Cameron gobbled down the burger and that was the beginning of a relationship that will be cherished for a very long time. Teaching, coaxing and mentoring strengthened the Cameron Holt with his tuba and his acceptance certificate from USC. bond that led to Cameron discovering He also happened to meet Jim Self who that not only did he enjoy the Tuba but, is a tubist of the world’s highest caliber he was good at it. The better he became, and happens to live and work in LA. Self the more Ken urged him to stretch and heard Cameron play and thought he had be become more than he imagined he something special and encouraged him might be. to go for USC. TALENT was emerging.

gust 14th. He’ll be living in a dorm and has already met his future room mate through social media sites established specifically for incoming students to be paired with someone of like interests. Cameron starts a 4-year program which will lead to a Bachelor’s Degree in Music / Tuba Performance. The entire Thornton School of Music has about a thousand students and of those, there are only a handful who study tuba. Academic focus, besides the mandatory curriculum, includes heavy concentration on Theory, Composition and Ear Training. A 5th year is laid out to achieve a Master’s of Music - Education. Mr. Holt – Congratulations to you and Paso wishes you the absolute best in your future! As a final thought to our faithful Paso Robles Magazine readers; yes, this is a story about one of our graduates. We KNOW that there is a train-full of other graduating seniors who have excelled and indeed, are finding their way too. To all of you who will soon fling your mortar-boards, we salute your efforts, praise your skills and stand behind your goals and aspirations. May God Bless and protect you all!

ODE TO OUR MOM
Some times us 5 kids tend to wonder, how it was when you were younger. Were you an angel just like us? Or where you always the one to fuss? And when you were in your teens, did you know what the word curfew means? How long after having all five of us did you find, that having kid #6 would have made you lose your mind? Was it when Wayne took Linda for the famous bike ride, or when Diane trimmed Karen’s hair with no place to hide? Maybe it was Darwin’s fascination with that poor toad or perhaps our backseat behavior going down the road? There is one thing that is for sure, the love in our 5 hearts for you is pure! We hope today that you can get some well deserved rest, cause tomorrow you’ll see us at our usual best!

Larry and Linda Coe 303 15th Street Paso Robles
This home was probably built by Albert S. Tuley and sold in 1919 to EG. Thomas. In 1920 it was sold to the Dougherty family.
The Coes purchased this 1916 Craftsman Bungalow in 2006, with the vision of restoring it to its original beauty. They love a project. They undertook this one with great energy doing much of the work themselves. They have achieved their goal of modernizing the functionality but keeping to the period and the basic footprint. Modern electric and plumbing are installed. Be sure to see the large original windows with beveled glass and original front door. Most of the natural Douglas fir moldings and built in cabinets throughout the home are original. The oak flooring in the dining, living room and office are original floors almost 100 years old. The unique Kelley Stone stucco exterior has held up well. Bathroom tile is unglazed porcelain that was replaced with the same material as the original. The rear of the home was a screened in porch that is now a

The gardens composed of 6 acres were created by the Sines, and their love of flowers and nature, and the desire for peace and quiet was fulfilled. The only sounds are their four sheep and three mini horses at feeding times, and that’s how they like it. John and Barbara Partridge 110 11th Street Paso Robles
This new Craftsman-inspired style house is an original design by the owner and builder, John Partridge. Completed in 2009, the house has few, but large rooms that showcase Barbara Partridge family’s treasures as well as several John Partridge paintings. One of the treasures is Barbara’s grandmother’s original Mission dining table and chairs made by Gustav Stickley’s Craftsman Workshop in the early 1900’s. It was because of this table that Barbara always
dreamed of having a house that complemented it. The kitchen is a favorite room with a large butcher-block island, quartz granite countertops, two dishwashers, two ovens, and three refrigerators. The cabinets are Craftsman style, custom built by Morro Bay Cabinets. In fact, all of the subcontracted work in the house was done by local artisans and construction specialists. The entry door is hand crafted by Tom Bare of Doors and More and is solid cherry wood with “jewels” inset in its rain-glass windows. The eight-foot doors that provide entry to all the inside rooms were installed and trimmed by Michael Cheer of the Craftsman Way. The floors, too, are hardwood-cherry and extend from the entry through the dining room, kitchen and family room. The family room’s floor-toceiling fireplace was built of slate by Paso Robles based Gary Wilson Masonry and matches the outdoor wood-burning fireplace alongside the large patio. The three bedrooms choice of windows makes an airy feel complemented by carpet (Templeton Floor Store) and select paint colors (Van Go
Painting) all coordinated by Jennifer Nogle of Interior Motives. Interior Designer Nogle also suggested the warm and inviting tone of the entire house, from floors to window treatments to color design. The custom lighting choices and effects were added by Teague Electric. Barbara and John love the easy and comfortable living the house provides. All on one level, it is a thoughtful design for retirement as well as casual entertaining of family and friends. Debbie and Bill McMurray 655 Camino Vina Paso Robles
After deciding to move out of Southern California and visiting many California communities the owners found something special in Paso Robles and decided to call it home. The owners designed and built
in the “Texas Hill Country” style with stacked stone, wood beams, stucco, metal roof and easily accessed outdoor porches, patios and living areas. The single level home, guest house and barn sit on 40 + rolling acres in East Paso Robles. The owners found a few 18th century French Antiques and incorporated them into the design and construction of the residence. The Living Room fireplace, Family Room entertainment unit, and powder room cabinet, all 18th century, sit beside and blend nicely with the works of local artists, including two large wall murals by Frank Armitage.

Paso Robles Festival of the Arts * May 25 The urge to create is older than dirt. It grows anywhere, for anyone, and it takes over the park on May 25. By Chris Weygandt Alba
T
he friendly thing about Art is that it isn’t picky about its clothes. It’ll wear sheet metal, silk, a used envelope – mud, grass, air – even a chunk of potato smeared with paint in the fist of a three-year-old. Art wants to be made. It wants someone to hatch an idea, pick up a tool, and make it exist, just for the joy of it. Over Memorial Day weekend, the Paso Robles Festival of the Arts commandeers the heart of downtown to celebrate the creative energy of Art. On Saturday, May 25, an exuberance of arts cascades in the park – music, fine art, fine crafts, performance art, and a riot of creative play for all ages. Scientists suspect that creative play is good for the brain and emotional well-being. When we use our hands, ideas and skill to produce any beautiful thing, we experience the power of Art. It doesn’t discriminate between fine art and refrigerator art. A toddler discovering the blueness of blue enters the same shining universe as Albert Einstein, shaping the theory of relativity by imagining he could ride a wave of light.
Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. (Twyla Tharp)
“When I’m painting, I move into a different place,” says Elizabeth Tolley, a Central Coast artist, author, and teacher who will jury the festival’s “Wild and Precious” exhibition held in The Studios on the Park. “I move into the power of what I see and feel. I am living the most perfect moment. My goal, to capture the moment, translate it, to share that with others. Often I’ll make color and composition studies before I’m able to make a painting that expresses the connection I felt. It’s the process that I live for.” get “Painters into zones just like athletes,” says William Hosner, an award-winning artist who’ll drive across the country to lead workshops during Paso’s Festival of the Arts. He goes outdoors to paint almost every day of the year. In the icy northern Michigan winter, he straps on his snowshoes and trudges forth. “It’s brutal,” he says. “But when I’m out there, I’m not really conscious. It’s a meditative state – I just know in my heart this is why I was put on this planet.” As he studies the landscape, Bill’s awareness shifts gears. A different operating system kicks in that allows him to see what he calls “the poetry that transports you.” That’s when a painting seems to paint itself. “I can’t predict when that zone is going to happen,” Bill says. “So I show up. Wayne Gretzky may be the greatest philosopher of the 20th century because he said one sentence: You can’t score if you don’t shoot. So show up!”
themselves. Creativity seems to foster more agile brains and stronger character, thanks to all that conceptualizing, problem-solving, self-discipline, and self-respect. It feels good, too. Art repays the artist with sensations of well-being, often soul-stirring, long-lasting, and accompanied by deep gratitude. “In this crazy world,” Bill says, “I have this joy. I reverently accept one day at a time as a gift.” When the feelings fade, along with the artist, power remains in the thing he made. “People feel it and know it,” Bill says, “and in its presence they become aware of this truth, and suddenly they know that they knew it.” Elizabeth calls it “the element that can’t be described.” It will speak to some people and not others, she says. “I hear it say, LOOK! I look, and it’s caught me, I’ve entered the painting, I’m experiencing what it was like to be there.” Elizabeth is excited about the diversity in the “Wild and Precious” exhibition, as each artist responds to a question asked by a poet (“The Summer Day” by Mary Oliver): “What is it you plan to do / with your one wild and precious life?”
The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. (Pablo Picasso)

“Something magical happens,” Elizabeth says, “when you slow down and look closely at the world. You discover variety, aesthetics, and a sense of wonder that make you want to keep going back, to discover more.” Artists work to capture that magic, she says, in different mediums and styles, pouring heart, soul, and skill into their creation. “Aren’t we lucky,” she asks, “that people who love what they do, and do it well, are willing to share their wild and precious lives with us?”
There is a natural hootchy-kootchy motion to a goldfish. (Walt Disney)
“Everyone has a different definition of art,” says Don Dahl, who has loved creating things with wood since he was a boy in his grandfather’s workshop. “So many people in this world have creativity, in ways not ordinarily thought of as art. You can be a Van Gogh with sheet metal, an artist who builds custom motorcycles.” Don made his career as a tradesman, building precise structures designed by someone else. For pleasure, he builds wood furnishings of his own design. He thinks he’s not an artist, but he has all the symptoms of one – imagination, skill, focus, and an irresistible urge. “I’ve wanted to make something since I was young,” Don says. “I like the feeling of creating – starting from scratch, thinking it through, taking my time with the grain of the wood so it has a continuous flow. It’s very satisfying. You forget your problems. You feel proud of yourself, proud of your work. Sometimes I wonder where this piece will be 100 years from now, and I feel like I’m leaving a legacy.”

I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?

2013 Memorial Day Programs planned “Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down”
Memorial
Day, a day to honor those who have died in service to our country. Memorial Day was first proclaimed by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic on May 5, 1868 and was first celebrated on May 30, the same year. The first Memorial Day was celebrated by placing flowers on the graves of soldiers at Arlington Cemetery. In 1971,Memorial Day was officially declared to be the last Monday in May as part of the Federal National Holiday Act passed by Congress. Some feel this put more emphasis on having a three day weekend than on honoring our fallen military members. To help remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, the “National Moment of Remembrance” resolution was passed in Dec 2000 which asks that at 3 p.m. local time, for all Americans “To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to ‘Taps’. Several local groups and organizations work hard to keep the memory of our Veterans alive and the meaning of the day at the forefront of Memorial Day Weekend. Shandon Lions Club Memorial Day Picnic Shandon Park Sunday, May 26, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Barbecue Beef, Ribs and Chicken dinners For a real taste of Americana, head out to Shandon where the Shandon Lions Club honors our fallen military heroes with an old-fashioned picnic in the park.

Stars for our Soldiers By Millie Drum “I am a part of our American Flag. I have flown over a home in the U.S.A. I can no longer fly. The sun and winds have caused me to become tattered and torn. Please carry me as a reminder that YOU are not forgotten.” This verse accompanies a star cut from an American Flag thanks to the “Stars For Our Troops” program. In 2011, Boy Scout ASM David Kudija learned about Stars For Our Troops. Since then, he’s retired 1300 flags (surpassing his goal
32
of 1,000), removing the cantons and cutting the stars for packaging and distribution to soldiers and their families. “I hand out Stars because I believe that our service people need to be thanked.” After handing out Stars for a few weeks, David was astounded by the emotional response of the recipients. David has traveled south to Los Angeles, north to San Rafael and as far as New Mexico to gather flags and present Stars. On the building at the corner of 13th and Paso Robles Street, there’s a banner...”RETIRE FLAGS HERE” with an arrow pointing to a ragged cardboard box.

Live Oak Church continues a 125-year legacy in Paso Robles
By Melissa Chavez Framed with a fountain pen and three sheets of lined notepaper, stands a cornerstone at 15th and Oak Street in Paso Robles. Established with Articles of Incorporation in October 1888 and registered with the state the following June, The Christian Church in Paso Robles was formed. The small group initially gathered upstairs in the hall inside the old Mercantile Building. Though evangelistic in nature, its formation was clearly an ecumenical effort. Meetings were later held at the Baptist Church on Oak Street. The permanent building site was donated by Catholic Church member and real estate agent, Daniel Blackburn. On August 8, 1888, the cornerstone was laid and Reverend Brown preached to 23 members on Sundays. By 1908, it fell short on fervor and members and its doors were shuttered for two years until Mr. and Mrs. J.J. Ford contacted the few remaining diehards. With recruited missionary workers and a communal offering of $300, they revitalized the neglected building and their membership. For lack of a pastor, Mr. Ford preached without pay until a permanent pastor was secured in 1912. By 1961, an adjacent parcel was purchased, where they broke ground in 1965 and dedicated a new sanctuary on February 20, 1966.

Pastor Kaiser cited about 20 area men who have cultivated their friendships for nearly 40 years. “They represent 10-12 churches in Paso Robles and the North County,” he said, astounded. Less surprised is Don Jacobs. “Daryl Stinchfield and I have been cooking at the Men’s Breakfast at Christian Life Center every Thursday for 23 years,” said Don, pointing up the street. He recalls Pioneer Day church sing-alongs that drew in the community and has seen the church through seasons of change, too. “I’d known about Live Oak, but not its history,” said Pastor Kaiser, who recently unearthed 100year-old documents and building plans while sorting old files. “This church has always been willing to work alongside others. Even 23 percent of the budget goes toward missions. The spirit of Christian unity is alive here.” More contemporary (and louder) than what the congregation has been accustomed is Pastor Kaiser’s style of musical worship. However, tact and grace soon won over their new pastor and he likewise added fresh songs to their traditional selections. “I want to recognize, understand and honor that past and look forward to what God is going to do in the next 30 years,” says Pastor Kaiser. Part of that is focusing on deferred maintenance of a 47-year-old building. Please see LIVE OAK page 36

The Quasquicentennial is picking up speed
By Chuck Desmond Doesn’t this article’s title sound like the name of an old western train pulling out of a station in Colorado’s high Mesa, on its way to the station at El Paso de Robles? Can’t you just visualize the cloud of smoke belching out of the locomotive’s stack, as the boilers build up pressure and the great power-plant’s wheels dig in to pull the cars over the Rockies with goods the ranchers and farmers are waiting for? That might be the basis for a story I’ll get around to writing one day but for now, the QUASQUICENTENNIAL is not a train engine but instead, it’s the year 2014, which is the 125th anniversary celebration of Paso Robles’ incorporation! You know that, right? You’ve been following these monthly updates in your Paso Robles Magazine for the last six month, haven’t you! Just like the creaking, grinding and groaning and grunting sounds that a 300 ton train makes when it starts to roll, it also takes many Paso-folks to put together a year-long celebration in a community of almost 30,000. The 50-member Celebration Committee has gained traction and the party is shaping up!
Last month, you were introduced to the brand new logo that is the rallying point of the festivities. With it’s prominent Oak Tree, that happens to have exactly 125 leaves, standing tall and mighty against the agricultural colors of our lineage, we now have an image to look to and an icon to point visitors toward. 125 years. That’s a long time for human beings. History has shown us and taught us that if we don’t record our every-day activities for the future generations, how will they ever know how they got to be the way they are? Our predecessors left that for us and our obligation is to do the same for those who follow. And that, fellow Roblans, is what this is all about. Sharing our HISTORY. In partnership with local businesses, service clubs, schools, City government and historical organizations, programs to rekindle our awareness of the rich legacy that is Paso, are being presented for an entire year. However, a birthday party to celebrate a 125 year-old entity doesn’t come for free.

The Committee is reaching out to create a winning scenario for everyone. A Fireworks celebration at both ends of the year, a cupcake extravaganza in March, Women’s Day in March, a 12.5 mile run in the Fall, Pioneer Day, 4th of July, the RockHounds Show, are but a few of the events in the making. Unique memorabilia are on the way; some of them are a once-in-a-lifetime Challenge Coin, the home/office/store wall calendar with a photographic replay of our town plus the soon to be sought-after Recipe Book with down-home eatin’ memories of “How and Who Cooked It Back Then.” Since a huge hunk of the celebration intent is for our children’s edification, Paso Robles Schools are going all out with learning-involvement by participation. Residents, old timers, newly arrived, all our kids, businesses, visitors – everyone wins! I know you want to be a part of this. You absolutely want your own special event to be
intertwined with Quasqui! You want your employees and members to feel their organization is truly a part of the community. Those that are signing on and voting with their hearts and souls are also voting with their wallets and reaping the rewards at the same time. Sponsorships – private or business – start at $50 and go from there. Each escalating level returns more benefits. Principle among the benefits is the recognition and demonstration of pride in Paso. Proclamations that your organization is involved will be “Top Shelf.” A few million visitors will see your name first; tend to shop at your store first; visit your winery first; think of you for their needs first; find the photo or name of your organization on one of the calendar pages! For us residents, we get the synergy of our great business and community outreach. Yep, we smile with pleasure at how great it is here. If you are a true Roblan, you have to snag your train ticket and get on board! The QUASQUI train is gathering speed! Call Julie at 237-2993 or Shonna at 227-7236 or even me at 237-2046. Calendars go to press in August! What are you waiting for?

Small town care with big city technology The remodeled Diagnostic technology room at the Optometric Care Associates office, 1112 Vine Street in Paso Robles, now houses the latest laser scanning and measurement instruments. Their new tonometer improves accuracy in Glaucoma diagnosis, particularly after LASIK surgery, where pressure measurement is made on the window at the front of the eye, the cornea. The older standard measure, using yellow drops that made the eye feel numb and sticky, were based on an average corneal thickness. Since LASIK surgery thins the cornea, the older method of measurement is inaccurate. This new technology accounts for that variable of the thin-

This is particularly important after age 40,” said Dr. Major. “Serving Paso Robles for over 25 years we like to think of ourselves as providing friendly small town care with big city technology. We are especially proud of our expanding specialty network of eye surgeons. Even though we do refer to Stanford and UCLA, we have great doctors here in the county and we feel we can offer the best eye care available anywhere.” For more information, call 2381001.

Cinco de Mayo Celebration offers dancing, food and music on May 4 By Melissa Chavez The Cinco de Mayo Scholarship Committee in Paso Robles will hold a Cinco de Mayo Celebration from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 4 at Paso Robles City Park. The event will provide a full afternoon of festivities for the community. Everyone can enjoy a ballet folklorico, food, plenty of live music, information booths and activities for the kids. The featured performers will be dancers Herencia Mexicana Juvenil de Paso Robles and a music by Paso Robles High and Medina Light Show Designs. Carnival game fun
will provide plenty of things to do for the kids, too. Adding to the lively day will be an hourly drawing for a variety of prizes, including products by local corporate sponsors, gift baskets and gift cards. A chicken barbeque with Spanish rice and beans will be available for $8.00 per plate. All proceeds will benefit an annual scholarship fund for graduating students from Paso Robles. In 2012, $2,500 benefited five high school seniors at Paso Robles High School and Liberty High School. The nonprofit Committee was
founded 24 years ago by like-minded educators, students, business leaders, parents and community members seeking to help financially support graduating Paso Robles High School students toward continuing higher education and to promote Latin cultural awareness. Founders of the organization included Richard Benitez, Sally Mason and the late Joe Quiroz. Current board members are President Adriana Zapata-Winfrey, Vice-President Irma Andrade, Treasurer Richard Benitez and Secretary Chris Cardenas.
Annual fund raising events include taquito sales at the Olive Festival and Warbirds, Wings & Wheels, both in Paso Robles, and a tamale sale in the first Saturday in December. Pre-sale orders are made available from October to November. For more information or to participate in the Cinco de Mayo Celebration, write the Cinco de Mayo Scholarship Committee at P.O.

Change of Command at Camp Roberts By Chuck Desmond The weather provided an absolutely perfect Spring day on April 6 as Camp Roberts held a Change of Command Ceremony on the parade field. With about 70 military personnel and some 30 VIPs including representatives from the State Assembly, SLO County Board of Supervisors, a Congressional Representative and CHP, Brig. Gen. Keith Jones oversaw the transfer of leadership from Colonel Barbara Nuismer to Colonel John Haramalis. With a formation of troops, an official arrival by the honorees of the day, the transfer of the Colors which symbolizes the transfer of authority, heart rendering speeches, the ceremony was a success. Overseeing all facets of base operations at Camp Roberts is really a big deal. Opened in November, 1940 on 42,768 acres, there have been hundreds of thousands of men and women who have trained, taught and worked at the base. 150 military personnel and some 400+ people from our community go to work there every day! Millions of dollars of local revenue are generated every year for Paso and our neighbors. Maintaining, supporting, upgrading
and expanding a 70 year-old infrastructure while training men and women for war to protect the USA and then come home safely, while at the same time strengthening a bond to the non-military community, is an overwhelming task. Every time I visit The Camp, I am humbled by the skills and resolve of the women and men who pull this off. The mostly-unheralded work they do to keep the rest of us safe is way beyond the words that a mere Thank You can satisfy. They sacrifice with every ounce of fiber within them. Colonel Barbara Nuismer, who joined the military in 1975, has been the Garrison Commander and Base Operations Manager for Camp Roberts since October of 2009. Prior to this assignment, she saw active service for 10 years and held leadership positions in various parts of the troubled world. Well educated and decorated and following an extremely successful career at everincreasingly important positions,
she is retiring! With her mother, Rita, in the audience, Col. Nuismer recalled when she first arrived at CR and saw the size of the task in front of her. Old buildings that needed to come down, land use that made sense, main water lines that only burst in the middle of the night and needing a broader staff were a few of the head-groaners. Men and women from all across America and from our global allies were arriving by the seemingly-millions to be trained. How to provide for them? When General Jones spoke to the audience about her accomplishments, I sensed he was holding back tears at the pride he held for her. Colonel John Haramalis is from the San Francisco area. He is also well educated and likewise, well decorated for his ability to perform at a senior level. As a member of the National Guard for twenty-eight years, he has seen action and commanded organizations around the world. Haramalis said on his first visit to Camp Roberts, many, many years ago, he thought to himself, “Boy, this place really needs some work! - If I were in charge - and now I am! But I am so fortunate to take over at this time because of all that Colonel Nuismer has already ac-

complished.” General Jones referred to Colonel Haramalis as “The Phase 2 Guy!” As I’ve said in many articles about Camp Roberts, we sometimes forget how lucky we are to have the base and these tremendous people in our community. Colonel Nuismer has elected to retire here and with a benevolent life behind her, I suspect we’ll see her pop up in ways that continue to make the world a better place. But first, let’s let her kick off the combat boots and try on some Paso-style boots! Colonels Nuismer and Haramalis, congratulations to you both!

County Perspective Rock Out: We humans may think we’re king of the hill, but the smoky rock that bore down on the Russian city of Chelyabinsk in mid February was a cosmic wake-up call. Ample video evidence was captured, thankfully, because Russian motorists don’t leave home without a video camera. They face an epidemic of smash & sue insurance scammers, corrupt, underpaid cops, and court judges that turn a deaf ear to victims without video evidence. Watching an incandescent boulder outshine the sun while unleashing a window-shattering supersonic concussion must have been amazing, but the event troubles me. You see, scientists underestimated the size of the Chelyabinsk meteorite by a factor of 1,000; this was a 10,000-ton rock. That’s like lobbing a 500’ container ship at you without warning. Moreover, apparently a piece of the same rock fell near San Francisco. I understand we have our best and brightest working on an early warning system, but they missed this one. C’mon, guys, we may be on borrowed time, here. We have our own miniature version, here on the Central Coast; Atascadero road. Most north county denizens who regularly haunt Hwy 41 between A-town and Morro Bay have learned to watch for boulders as they careen blithely through the esses below Cerro Alto Campground. The cliffs above the highway are laden with soft adobe clay that loosens when wet, like paste in hot water, pelting unsuspecting motorists below with the occasional rock...or boulder. Even though winter rains were light, the hillsides were gunchy enough to trigger an emergency Caltrans project, so crews closed
a lane from Cerro Alto to install a twisted wire riprap screen. The late March project slowed traffic, and the stuff really doesn’t look all that strong, though I’m told it will restrain up to three tons of rock, per square foot. Re-D: As County urban planners know, state and federal funding for redevelopment has just about dried up, yet the need to revitalize downtown areas is still, well, vital.
By Bruce Curtis
Both were mild-mannered media people, Walt, was an animator and storyteller, while bespectacled E.G. was a publisher. Walt, who pushed racial stereotypes in his movies, some of which the company will no longer distribute, created EPCOT, a prototype city of tomorrow.
“The cost of living here in our own utopia reminds us that Nirvana isn’t free; heck it isn’t even cheap.” Paso Robles has had quite a few successes bringing new life to its downtown core, but we aren’t the only city in the North County. Atascadero is wrestling with some issues that are familiar, like whether a new jumbo-WalMart is a good idea, given the plodding pace of redevelopment in the old A-town downtown colony. Retrofitting old city hall is one way to do it, but when you remodel, you uncover some things best left buried. Of the ugly bones surfacing to the dismay of the city’s historical society are old property deeds that prohibited non-whites from purchasing a piece of the Atascadero Colony dream. To understand why, it helps to look at society in the early 20th century where such deed restrictions were not uncommon, quite legal, merely boilerplate in standard trust deeds. But there is insight to be found both in the life of city founder, E.G. Lewis and a better-known utopian, Walt Disney.
EPCOT, part of Disney’s Florida complex, was intended to show a vision of a future miraculously free of human flaws, thanks to technology. E.G. also believed in the idea of a visionary planned community, and he put his best ideas into founding Atascadero. Was he successful? Atown is cohesive, with remarkably little incivility and crime, but in so doing, created an oddly dissonant future where women’s rights were emphasized and non-whites weren’t. That’s history, but should that history be left in the past? Maybe we should move on. Earthy: In late March, San Luis Obispo County supervisors kicked the subject of biosolids down the road, presumably wiping off their shoes afterward. The board decided to take another look at whether the sludgy byproducts of human habitation could be used on farm fields. What to do with sewer sludge continues to be just prurient enough to gain some of my attention, because – let’s face it – it is a topic we can all relate to...all the way up to
NASA, it fact. The space agency is also contemplating what to do with the accumulated products of human activity on a two-year Mars trip; the euphemism du-jour, regenerated food, is among the ideas being considered, all of which we can safely assume are less savory than the board’s future plans for biosolids. Basically, the board wants to know what the effects of biosolids on farmland will be, and that takes time. Someone at a party once asked a gardener what made her strawberries so delicious. She said, “well, I put manure on them.” An old gentleman nearby remarked, “I don’t believe I’d care for them served that way.” Gouged?: Just having returning from a conference in Orlando, I am reminded that we pay too much for gasoline, here. In Florida in early April, regular sold for $3.30/gallon. In San Luis Obispo County, prices still stubbornly hovered around $4.15/gallon, and that’s at the cheap stations. The cost of living here in our own utopia reminds us that Nirvana isn’t free; heck it isn’t even cheap. San Luis Obispo continues to post the highest gas prices in the state, which posts the highest prices in the nation. Reasons? The usual platitudes: fuels in California are specialty products, formulated to meet unique clean air rules, refineries converting to summer fuel production, blah, blah. Call me cynical, but doesn’t it seem like refineries need at least three months to convert over to summer fuels? And I’m not letting you Sacramento bureaucrats off the hook, either. Cars are so cleanburning these days, it wouldn’t hurt to standardize our gasoline with the rest of the country. Environmental bureaucrats and oil company profiteers: A meteor for both of them, I say.

More local residents counting on Hunger Awareness Day As communities endure continuing economic challenges, feeding hungry people with nutritious food is a daunting task. This year, more than ever, the Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County is counting on Hunger Awareness Day to help as many as 44,000 residents overcome the increased challenge to feed their families. ‘One Day, One Dollar,’ Hunger Awareness Day 2013 is set for Friday, June 7, and the Food Bank is trying to reach a campaign goal of $150,000. This will help to meet the ever growing demand for food assistance in our county. “Like other food banks across
the country, we have added new programs and direct sites (Creston, California Valley and Carissa Plains) to address the increase as well as the changing face of hunger,” said Food Bank Chief Executive Officer Carl Hansen. “Numbers released by Feeding America, the nation’s network of food banks, last year indicated that the most vulnerable group is children...locally over 40% of the Food Bank’s clients are under the age of eighteen. The Food Bank is there for them, especially the children who need to be healthy in their formative years. With our resources for free or low-cost food we can stretch a dollar into 10 pounds of food.”
Donors can mail checks to P.O. Box 2070, Paso Robles, CA 93447, donate online at www. slofoodbank.org, drive through or walk in to any Rabobank branches in the county during the month of May through June 7, or drop by the Hunger Awareness Day site in your community on June 7. Visit the Food Bank of SLO County at 2212 Golden Hill Road in Paso Robles or phone: 238-4664, FAX: 238-6956, on line at www.slofoodbank.org

B USINESS By Bob Chute Part 1 of many I know the Major League Baseball season is a month old already, by the time you read this, but as I’m writing this my beloved Dodgers have just defeated the hated ones (Giants) 4-0 on opening day. BASEBALL IS BACK! Most excellent... I’m going to take some time this month to acquaint you with Kevin Haughian, CEO of the North County Indians semi-pro baseball club in Templeton. Many of you are already aware that Kevin actually started his program locally last summer and, I have to apologize, a myriad of distractions kept me from getting with him before he shut it down for the year. We’re going to fix that this year...and I’m planning to be one of his sponsors! However, in writing this I realize I’m neglecting reporting about the hundreds of selfless adults serving kids involved in the many youth-oriented sports programs in our area - both private and city sponsored - but this article will focus on a semi-pro team in our midst hoping to be an important part of our communities. Play ball! I love baseball... During my pre-teen days in SoCal I remember playing ball in the street every day during the summer with my neighborhood buddies until dark, when our mothers would start yelling for us to “get in the house.” Using tennis balls, and the kindness of neighborhood parents keeping their cars out of our ‘diamond’, we were able to prevent many a broken windshield. At one point when we were allowed to clear an empty field in the neighborhood, set up the basepaths, and define our ground rules playing hard ball...anything off the fence of an abandoned tennis court was a double, inside the tennis court was a triple, and anything that cleared both of the 30 foot high (seemed at least that high at the time) fences was a homer. A Ruthian accomplishment to be sure. Those were some awesome times - we were in charge! Our team was the Washington Street Bombers... and we were good, most of the time. Fast forward to current times and well meaning adults all over the country are pushing the NFLs Play 60 program to get kids “to be active

for 60 minutes a day in order to help reverse the trend of childhood obesity.” Good grief, 60 minutes is an accomplishment? Yes, I’m old, but video games have stolen so much from today’s young lives. Now to Kevin Haughian and his dream. After spending at least 60 minutes with him recently I came away convinced this guy has a vision for motivating area youth, for providing some awesome family entertainment, and for awakening my memories of doubles off the tennis court fence. After many years in organized baseball team management (see sidebar) Kevin began his local baseball effort in April of 2012 when he announced the purchase of the Santa Maria Indians franchise and their relocation to North San Luis Obispo
County. The Indians are the oldest semipro team in California, although they had not been active since the 2008 season. The Indians were founded in 1944 and played for 65 years, with the legendary Scoop Nunes serving as General Manager for 47 of those years until his passing in 2003. When Kevin and his wife Kathy purchased the Indians the economy was in the doldrums in Santa Maria but Kevin had a desire to resurrect a once proud franchise boasting of many players who went on to perform
in the major leagues. The Haughians did some studies and found the demographics were good in the North County of San Luis Obispo County, “The economy was better, and, with the urging of now manager Dan Marple [known as a coach and umpire in the area for many years], it made a lot of sense,” said Kevin. Marple’s supporting coaches include pitching coach Dan Larson, infield coach Fred Bogart and Templeton High School JV Coach Max Marple serves as the bases/ outfielders/catchers coach. Kevin has three goals for the Indians: 1. Provide affordable family entertainment. Tickets are just $6 for ages 15-65, Kids and Seniors are $4, and active Military and Kids on laps under 2 are free. A concession stand is open every game with affordable snacks, cold drinks and pizza, plus a BBQ will usually be serving sandwiches as well. Please see BASEBALL page 51
No Co Indians CEO Kevin Houghian Kevin Houghian has an impressive resume, even though he grew up a Giants fan wanting to be like pitcher Juan Marichal, who played for them in the 60’s and 70’s, elected to the Hall of Fame in 1983. I dreamed of being Sandy Koufax, a Dodger from the 50’s and 60’s, elected to the Hall of Fame in 1972. I digress. A native of Berkeley, California, Kevin played for Cal Poly then graduated Cal State Hayward and holds a Masters Degree in Public Relations from Boston University. Kevin, according to the club’s website, “began his baseball career with the Salinas Spurs of the California League in 1983 and at the age of 24 became the youngest General Manager in professional baseball. He remained in that position through the 1985 season. “After serving as a legislative assistant to a California State Assemblyman through 1990, Haughian returned to operate the Spurs in 1991, where he doubled the Spurs’ attendance from the previous year. Taking over the reins of the Palm Spring Angels following the 1991 season, he orchestrated the two most successful years in franchise history. The Palm Springs club increased attendance 40 percent in 1992 by drawing more than 92,000 and then drew an impressive 105,000 in 1993.” Following that season the club relocated to Lake Elsinore and built “the Diamond at Lake Elsinore”, repeatedly ranked by Baseball America as one of the finest sta-
diums in all of Minor League Baseball. “In 1994, the Lake Elsinore Storm’s inaugural season, the team set a league attendance record of 357,123 for a first-year franchise.” In 2002, when the Los Angeles Angels won the World Series, 17 of the 25 players had come through the California League team. “In 1999, Haughian put together a partnership which purchased the Pioneer League’s Butte Copper Kings Baseball Club. After operating in Montana for two seasons, the team relocated to Casper, WY., where it was initially named the Casper Rockies. In 2008 the franchise was re-named the Casper Ghosts and was operated by Haughian through the 2010 season. Over the years Kevin has been nominated on three occasions for the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues’(NAPBL) prestigious Larry McPhail Promotional Trophy and has received both “Awards of Excellence” and “Executive of the Year” honors from the California League. In January 2000, Haughian became the first non-player to be inducted into the Lake Elsinore Storm Hall of Fame. Haughian is most proud of the fact that over 20 former staff members from his franchises now hold executive positions at all levels of Minor League Baseball, Major League Soccer, the NBA, the NFL and the NHL.

A very special service at Paso Robles Pet Boarding
By Bob Chute You know what it’s like to be bored. Here you are, alone again. Things were fun earlier. But now, not so much. You get a bit crazy, trying to think of a way out. You struggle to keep it under control and remain well behaved. It feels confining, you want to change the channel, but of course, that isn’t possible. For the moment, this is your life and you know you shouldn’t tear up your surroundings, but it is oh soooo very tempting. Now, picture yourself being able to make that change. You get out of the house and out of the yard. Your space expands exponentially and you get to chase a ball and romp with friends. Wowzers, this is more like it! This is the good life as you always believed it would be. That, in a nutshell, is what Doggy Day Care is all about. “Our Day Care dogs have a variety of schedules. We match them with personality types and attitudes for activities, regardless of size. Their lifestyle is important to us, how they
interact with other animals,” said Paso Robles Pet Boarding Manager Cindy Hornbaker. “Our eight different play yards have plenty of shade when needed and plenty of stuff to keep them busy and active. We even have separate water ponds. When they are ready to take a nap, they have areas to rest. For our guests that want time alone we have size appropriate kennels, both inside and outside. Separate walks can also be arranged. “The daily routine depends on the weather and we’ll switch up playtimes to keep it interesting. We have a color coding system to make sure they are with similar temperaments - where they need to be. Do you have an older dog? We even have a senior dog area. “We have one owner who works nine hours a day, five days a week,” said Hornbaker. “She has a big dog and would come home after her long day, take her dog for an hour walk
and play time then feed her...then find the time to care and feed herself. Now, she brings her dog to our doggie day care in the morning on her way to work, picks her up in the evening, takes her home, feeds her and the dog plops on her pillow to sleep.” Both are happier. The dog has been matched with other dogs of like personalities and plays and interacts with friends all day long. The owner knows her dog is well cared for, not bored, and she is able to be calmer, relax and enjoy her evenings while still enjoying her companion. The Doggy Day Care program at Paso Robles Pet boarding is available seven days a week, normal hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but you
can arrange a drop off as early as 5:30 a.m., and pickup as late as after work. “It’s similar to child care,” said Hornbaker. “Think how important your choice of care facility is for your child. We want to provide the same special care for your dog.” They offer a variety of flexible scheduling and pricing, from $8 for half a day to $14 for full day, to special discounts for weekly or monthly passes. Are you just needing to run some errands and want to drop off your dog for a few hours? That can be arranged as well. “You’re welcome to call us, check out the facility, and bring your dog by for a no-cost tryout for a couple hours, to see how they do,” adds Hornbaker. “You can watch them or leave and come back, we want you to be assured your dog is happy and well cared for at all times...this can become their home away from home!” For more details, check out their website at pasoroblespetboarding. com, call 238-4340 or stop by 2940 Union Road in Paso Robles. They guarantee you, and your pet, will not be bored.
Baseball from page 50
This summer the North County Indians will be playing 41 games through July 31, with 33 of those being home games at Vineyard Athletic Park in Templeton, where they recently completed a renovation of the concession stand on the school property, “We want to be good neighbors,” said Haughian. The Indians will be starting May 31 against the powerhouse San Luis Blues over the grade. Games in June will start at 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 5 p.m. on Sundays. As the days get longer in July fans can come out and enjoy our signature
awesome evenings with games at 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and Sundays at 5 p.m. The Indians offer special fund raising opportunities for schools, FFA, Scouts and others, “Our tickets sell for $6 each but we can sell them to nonprofits for $2.50 each, they then sell them for $5 each and make $2.50 per ticket,” said Kevin. “That has worked really well for us in other areas. In Lake Elsinore over six years local nonprofits raised $600,000 working with us. We hope to duplicate that here. I think we have an obligation to be involved and help kids in our area. We’ve
really received a lot of help in the community - a win-win for us both.” Check out the sidebar for an overview of Kevin’s credentials, suffice it to say he knows how to run a ball club and you can expect to be entertained when you come out in support of the North County Indians, “With the help and support of the local community, the Indians are committed to remembering Santa Maria’s 65-year tradition and look forward to building on that rich history right here in North County.” For more information, check out northcountyindians.com.
2. Provide a positive economic impact for the area with visiting teams needing 100 hotel rooms and spending money in the area while they’re in town. 3. Develop local ballplayers. Currently players, after high school, have to leave the area to develop their skills and be involved in competition. “My goal is to get the 6, 8 and 10 year old kids out to the games and get them excited and want to play for us! We’re local, we’ll be here for them.”

CASA celebrates 20-year milestone by seeking volunteers
By Melissa Chavez Imagine fear as a daily constant in what should be the safety of your home. For too many children, awakening to that sinking as feeling has become their “normal.” When blessed intervention comes to lift the oppression of mistreatment from the most innocent of our society, CASA volunteers are also there. CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocates, is a unique nonprofit organization that provides an oasis of support for children. Its mission is to advocate abused, abandoned and neglected youths and make their voices heard in juvenile court. Even after the threat of immediate danger is abated, children often remain emotionally and socially shut down as coping methods for survival take hold. “Advocates focus on the child and maintain a relationship with them,” says Cathy Orton, Resource Development Director at CASA. Once a week, a CASA volunteer will take part in activities with a child and engage socially with them. When children learn what it is like to live in a safe environment, they are able to tell the difference, be themselves and express what they have experienced. CASA advocates provide this critical information to the juvenile court so that when the judge makes a decision, there’s as much information available as possible,” says Cathy. When children are displaced by family trauma and cannot be placed with extended family members, foster parents fulfill a vital need by taking them in as surrogate parents.
However, since foster children can be relocated among several households, Cathy finds that establishing healthy familial relationships can be more of a challenge. To this end, CASA volunteers devote at least one year to helping each child. On average, they remain assigned for 18 to 24 months, but volunteers sometimes stay in touch with them years later. “I was assigned a CASA volunteer when I was in foster care,” recalls Mary (whose name was changed for publication). “She sat me down and told me she was there just for me. It wasn’t about my parents or anyone else; it was about me and my future. At that point I’d talked with a lot of people – lawyers and social workers and such – but that was the first time someone had said that to me. It changed my attitude and it changed my life.” Since 1977, CASA has served children ages 0-18 throughout all 50 states. In San Luis Obispo County, Cathy estimates that “forty percent of the kids that we serve currently come from North County.” May 2013 is CASA’s 20-year anniversary of child advocacy in SLO County. To mark the occa-
sion in the most meaningful way, CASA is seeking more volunteers to meet the growing need in the area. Caring individuals are encouraged to attend an informational meeting, May 8, at 6:30 p.m., at Starbucks at 7135 El Camino Real, Atascadero. Both men and women over the age of 21 are invited to join and bilingual volunteers are especially needed. Everyone is also invited to join CASA at their Open House on May 30, from 4-7 p.m., at 75 Higuera Street in San Luis Obispo. Volunteer training is also scheduled on September 16, 18, 20, 23 and 25, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., in Atascadero. Additional volunteers are always welcome to aid young children in crisis. However, recent legislation is recognizing that more attention is needed in addressing the urgent needs of teens that are transitioning into adulthood. At no additional cost to the State of California, a provision in Assembly Bill 12 (AB 12), or the California Fostering Connections to Success Act (2010), has extended the age of foster care-eligible youths,
from 18 to up to age 21. For young adults who would otherwise “age out” of the system, the bipartisan legislation ensures additional time and resources in which youths may mature, seek higher education and gain life skills toward successful, independent living. According to a 2009 University of Washington study, it is estimated that support of youths in foster care after age 18 returns $2.41 for every public dollar spent. CASA volunteers can be especially beneficial to provide one-to-one assistance during this critical life stage. “In a system where a lot of people come and go, my CASA volunteer was always there,” Mary emphasizes. “She stuck around. She was really good to me. She didn’t just help with my court case, she helped with my life. She gave me advice about everyday things. She went to my school events and conferences. I had been labeled as Learning Disabled. She pushed me to be my best. She knew I could do so much more and she made me want to prove it. Now, thanks to a great support team, I attend college and have so much to look forward to.” Cathy maintains that “it is this type of connection that becomes essential” to turning around the life of a child. Without such support, they become vulnerable to repeating the cycle of abuse, abandonment and neglect to future generations. “CASA for Children of SLO County gave me a voice in the legal system and a better future,” says Mary. “I share my story to help people understand just how important CASA is to children in our community.” Learn more by calling CASA at 541-6542.

What’s happening on Main Street?
By Chris Weygandt Alba May brings two acclaimed events to downtown Paso Robles, with the Wine Festival on May 18 and the Festival of the Arts on May 25. Lots of people will have an opportunity to fall in love with our unique downtown. And happy Mother’s Day to the mothers of Paso Robles on Sunday, May 12. Downtown offers myriad ways to honor Mom: a park designed for strolling, great restaurants to thrill every taste, and shops of all varieties, where the perfect gift is waiting for the mother in your life. If you have youngsters at home, mark your calendar to visit our 8th annual KidsDay in the Park on Saturday, June 8. Just in time for summer fun, this free day-long fair (formerly called the Baby & Children’s Fair) celebrates infants, children, and families from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Children will enjoy all the kid-friendly activities and interactive displays in the park. In attendance will be representatives of health care, child safety, prenatal and infant care, children’s resources, and recreation opportunities, plus entertainment, handmade products, festival vendors, and
food available for purchase. Nonprofits and business vendors may rent spaces for the fair during the month of May. Call the Main Street office at 238-4103. Spring cleaning idea: As you ponder your spring-cleaning projects, thinking this is the year you really will sort through the stuff you’ve acquired over the years, remember that you can convert your cast-offs to cash. Coming up in June is our popular Trading Day and Kid’s Flea Market in the park. Billed as “the North County’s largest yard sale,” it covers every category of collectibles from antiques to new handcrafted products. On Saturday, June 22, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the City Park will be filled with them. If you have treasures from the past
or crafts to sell, and if your youngsters have toys they’ve outgrown, you can call now for space (238-4103). Everyone is welcome to participate in the selling. Families, clubs and organizations may rent a space for the day. Spaces of roughly 15’x15’ are available for $55. Kids in grades three through eight can take part in the Kid’s Flea Market in their own area of the park – a great chance to make some spending money and learn to be an entrepreneur. Spaces for the kids are $5, and they may sell children’s items priced at less than $10. You can obtain applications for all our events online at pasoroblesdowntown. org under “current events.” You can also call the Main Street office at 238-4103, or pop into the office at 835 12th Street, around back in the Norma’s Way alley.
Christmas came early for Paso Robles Main Street, when Wells Fargo Bank presented a $5,000 donation to support Main Street’s popular holiday events. Left to right: promotion committee co-chair Kathy Schultz, Wells Fargo vice-president Chris Smith, and executive director Norma Moye.

B USINESS Flowers brighten everybody’s day...especially Mom! Kay McClain knows that flowers make people happy. For 28 years, local support and a loyal clientele that spans generations has sustained Country Florist as a full line flower and gift shop in the same location. She adds, “I’m very lucky to have a wonderful customer base. I listen to my customers, give the best customer service and train my employees to do the same with respect and kindness. All of them are important to me, whether they want a single carnation or a bouquet of roses.” Kay’s success is quite a testimonial to Kay McClain her commitment to old-fashioned customer service while “changing with the times” with an internet presence; offering the convenience of ordering flowers through her website and a Google virtual tour that makes shopping for gifts easy! Kay adds, “With our virtual tour of the store, my customers can see a gift item, call me, I’ll wrap it and I’ll deliver it!” Visit www.countryfloristandgift.com . While it may be convenient, ordering flowers online can be more expensive due to additional charges. An exact comparison with 1-800FLOWERS for a bouquet of flowers showed that Country Florist was cheaper than the internet giant! Kay adds, “Instead of customers ordering from a warehouse, I want them to know that I’m a local business with knowledge and hometown service. It’s incredibly important for people that want to buy a product from a local business instead of a huge warehouse operation. With the virtual tour, internet shoppers know that I’m an actual business. We’re old fashioned and gift wrap for free, which you don’t find anymore. We deliver flowers AND gift items.” Valentine’s Day is the last minute “crunch time” holiday, but Mother’s Day is the biggest “flower” holiday because it lasts the entire week. So

Through difficult times due to illness, surgery and the inevitable aging process, Dr. Charles Chalekson gives his patients a reason to feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside. “It’s a very, very interesting, innovative specialty,” says Dr. Chalekson. “There is a lot of variety in the procedures. It’s one of the only specialties that does not focus on just one area of the body; it overlaps with everything to include burns, cleft palates, and breast reconstruction. Aside from the cosmetic procedures, the reconstructive aspect is more challenging and much more complicated. I perform a large amount of breast reconstruction and cosmetic surgery.” With facial, body and breast rejuvenation as his specialty, “A good discussion with your doctor is important to understand the pros and cons of any procedure,” adds Chalekson. “And understand that new technology is good, but the best medicine is the combination between the new and the trusted techniques; having a breadth of expertise and exposure to different things. Some of what we see on TV makes people assume that those having cosmetic surgery are like people in Beverly Hills. The majority of the people are having procedures have normal expectations; not trying to look 20 or

With a strong ranching background, Ted established his first company, Ted Hamm Farm Insurance Bureau offering insurance primarily for the agribusiness and commercial markets. Over 36 years later, through the generations and influx of new residents, industry and business, Ted Hamm Insurance has grown substantially by offering affordable, comprehensive insurance for the individual, family, group and every type of business. Ted adds, “The economy is picking up. The contractors are adding workers and insurance to protect them and their projects. It gives us hope that we’ve turned the corner.” Many regional wineries, vineyards, wine production facilities, ranches and sizeable commercial entities are being purchased by large companies and private investors. Ted adds, “When big money comes in, they usually have a large agency to handle the insurance. If one of our clients is sold, we may not get the opportunity to service them. But fortunately, we continue to get new clients.”

Community Action Partnership
CAP Adult Day Center in new location By Millie Drum Considering that our aging, elderly population is increasing, the need for assistance for family and caregivers is greater than ever before. For someone with Alzheimer’s or other form of dementia, spending the day in a cheerful, homelike environment is very beneficial; often delaying admission to long-term care facilities and improving physical and cognitive capability. The Adult Day Center, a program of Community Action Partnership, provides the only nonprofit, 5 day a week, full day adult day care in San Luis Obispo County. Adult Day Center focuses on providing respite time to family caregivers and quality care to aging loved ones with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. “The Club,” as clients refer to it, is designed to keep seniors active and independent as long as possible. Frequently, there is an elderly spouse that is in critical need of respite from the daily responsibility. It gives the family caregiver an opportunity to take care of personal business, go to work, attend events or just relax with confidence that their relative
is safe and wellcared for. Services are offered on a suggested sliding donation schedule. After opening in 2004, the Adult Day Center recently moved to a new, larger home in a convenient, centrally located neighborhood at 1345 Oak Street, next to St. James Episcopal Church in Paso Robles. The Center will now be able to serve more families as their need for quality respite and adult day service increases. Imagine a day beginning with, “Let’s get ready Mom! We’re going to the ‘Club’ so you can visit with the other ladies and gentlemen.” Treating our elders with dignity is important, even though at times, it feels like our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles are becoming more like our children. If someone with dementia is being difficult about going to “day care,” offering a day out at the “Club” is an outing they’ll come to look forward to! One grateful family caregiver states,

Paso Remembered By
Cliff Tucker
Back in the 1920’s and through the 1950’s, if you drove out Peachy Canyon, Oak Flat, Creston or York Mountain Roads in late April, and saw the new leaves and growth on the fruit and almond trees or the new shoots of grain poking their new heads to the sky, you would probably say, “It must be spring.” A day to celebrate the coming of spring in the Paso Robles, of that time, was “May Day.” The royal ruler of that day was a “May Queen.” The site for the coronation of the May Queen was on the east side of Paso Robles High School, the Home of the Bearcats, located at 24th and Spring Streets. Mr. Bonde and his custodial staff would have prepared a beautiful setting of green trimmed lawns, shrubs and lovely
oak trees. This event was supported by the whole community. Local businesses closed for two hours so customers and employees could attend. Also, the elementary and junior high students were bussed to witness the crowning of the queen. The queen was selected by the student body from the senior class. Also, six attendants were chosen and the balance of the senior girls carried floral arches that provided a flowered covered walkway for the royalty group while entering and leaving the ceremony. The floral arches were decorated with thousands of roses, of all hues and colors, that had been garnered from the many Paso Robles residents. The small pink cecile brunner rose always seemed to be the most popular rose. Others involved in the event were the student body president, who crowned the Queen by placing a beautiful tiara on her head, kindergarten students performing a “May Pole Dance,” and the high school band or orchestra under the directions of several different instructors such as

Mr. Stevens, Mr. Fager, Mr. Thurlow, and Mr. Hyelmeland and others. Some of the girls that were honored as “Queens” over the years included: Iva Speck, 1924; Farris Lambrecht, 1927; Eleanor Bickell, 1930; Elaine Pool, 1932: Pat Toner, 1936; Margie Tidrow, 1942; Joy Stewart, 1945; Louise Hulings, 1948: Norma Della, 1951; Gayle Taylor, 1953; and Patsy Allen, 1959. In 1948, the site of the May Queen celebration was moved from the shady east side of the high school building to the football stadium. The beauty of the event - shady trees. shrubs, green grass and the ivy covered building were lost. The last of the very popular community event ended in 1959 due to the change of times and the loss of tradition. This “Crowning of the May Queen” was a great community event in the eyes of many “old timers” and it is sad that it passed with time, a loss to Paso Robles.
Another remembrance of “May Day” in my growing up in Paso Robles of the past was the May Basket tradition. When I was a kindergartener in Miss MacPherson’s class in 1931, I was introduced to the ritual of the May Basket. We were told it was an event to help welcome the coming of Spring. We were instructed in the making of the basket out of colored construction paper, that old white funny tasting glue and scissors. Each of our hand made baskets also had a handle. On “May Day” we took the baskets home with us. However, before taking them home we filled them with a small bouquet of freshly cut flowers that Miss MacPherson had brought to school for us. Upon arriving home we placed the basket at the front door of our homes and knocked or rang the door bell and then ran around the outside of the house and hid. Our mothers would pick up the basket and go looking for us. When you were found you were to say “Happy May Day, I Love You.” This brought about some big hugs and kisses with the result being both mother and child received Love and maybe a cookie and a glass of milk, too.
