Just a Changes suggestions as well, Thought todearYOUR readers. Just send them Last month I shared with you my hopes about making some changes around here. To get that ball rolling I invited everyone involved in producing the Paso Robles Magazine for a brainstorming session and lunch in the Paderewski Room of the Historic Paso Robles Inn...great setting for a meeting. Now, first of all, I realize this was long overdue after 12+ years of grinding it out. I invited 14 for the session and all 14 (see photo) blessed me with their presence and provided many great ideas. I was feeling a bit anxious but excited at the same time. I told them “I promise to listen and I promise to do my best to implement the ideas we come up with today.” When I first sent out the invitations a couple of them responded that they were anxious to hear what I had to say... BUT, it was all about what THEY had to say. Before I get into some of their thoughts I would also like to convey my willingness to listen
along to me at bob@pasorobles magazine.com. Now then, we brainstormed on four main topics: GRAPHICS - with 27 ideas; STORY CONTENT - with 34 ideas; SALES - with 15 ideas; and WEBSITE - with 24 ideas, but this was prefaced with knowing we are planning a complete redesign of our website and will soon be seeking RFPs (Request for Proposals). Brainstorming, those 100 great ideas plus discussions, and my head was about to explode. We expected 90 minutes of discussion but the enthusiasm carried us for nearly 3 hours! Good stuff, good stuff...indeed. Yes, one of the first things we will work on providing is larger text and larger photos... do I hear an amen? We will be processing these ideas and planning implementation. Please be patient with us, it is going to take some time but we want to do this right! We will be improving this magazine in a variety of areas. We have been so blessed
on the Horizon
Here is our team. They produce this publication for you, and blessings for me, each and every month. Seated, from left: Jamie Self, sales; Judy Bedell, writer; Dorothy Rogers, writer; and Millie Drum, sales and writer.

Unfortunately Lynne Schmitz, right, had to leave before this photo was taken, and Pam Osborn, sales, is now telecommuniting from Montana. Nice to put faces with the names, isn’t it? I should have done this long ago.
with loyal readers and a strong following supporting our advertisers and providing RESULTS! for those businesses spending their hard-earned dollars with us... please check out the beginnings of local testimonials on pages 32 and 33...more to come next month. We have mailed the magazine to 100% of area homes each and every month since our beginnings
in May of 2001 and will continue that - I didn’t think it could get any better than 100% - BUT I WAS WRONG!

THOUGHT from page 10
There’s changes at PRM and more changes in our downtown as well...read about the new businesses opening downtown including AndBe Boutique, General Store PR, the relocated Firefly and Artisan, and others in the Business section, page 50. Plus partners Brett Van Steenwyk and Debbie Lorenz have “a vision” as Debbie describes it, for several downtown icons they recently purchased, including the Odd Fellows Building on Park Street. It features McLintock’s downstairs and offices on the two upper floors plus the Ballroom. Debbie shared with me the extensive renovations and upgrades they are going through while mindful of its historic significance. It now has a new sound system and will soon house the Paderewski Grand
Piano. It will be able to seat 300 theater style, or other configurations, and have a complete kitchen for events and caterings. Another purchase was the Clock Tower building with tenants already in place and plans to completely redo the former Level 4 space in the basement. The bar and seating will be removed and Debbie has plans to seat 287 with the bar relocated, “It will be a total revamp. We’d like to see higher class music and theater performances. We’re adding several large screen televisions to the exterior walls to mimic windows, or they could be used for presentations.” A full banquet kitchen, including a walk-in refrigerator, is under construction, in conjunction with Stein’s Catering. Elevators will be added to the back of the buildings to make kitchen access for the Ballroom and the former Level 4 more convenient.
Brett and Debbie also recently completed a remodel of the building next door at 811 12th Street, including an extensive solar system on the roof to provide power to the building, additional solar systems are planned for the other buildings. This project, the first of it’s kind in downtown Paso, utilizes eighty four-260 watt American made Solar World solar panels and Enphase micro inverters. Down at the corner of 10th and Pine the ambitious couple has plans for the former Hayward Lumber building and 2.5 acre lot...”now we have 117 parking spaces and hoping for a boutique

hotel of 50 rooms or so plus sky bridges to various buildings and underground parking plus buildings for retail, offices and more parking. She envisions a Pine Street Promenade “to enter on 10th Street under the oak trees and connect to the Train Station. No need to drive from the hotel...all within walking distance... there’s retail, restaurants, night life, movies, wine tasting....this town is very special and we want to help maintain it and improve on it with community oriented projects.” Debbie is even planning to put chimes back in the clock tower... cool. Did I mention changes? Stay tuned fellow Roblans, this is gonna be fun. Personal: Surprising my late Father on his birthday with his first grandchild, my Bicentennial Baby Boy Benjamin turns 37 on June 2... is that possible?

EDUCATION & YOUTH
Alex Harris Honored for Volunteer Service By Judy Bedell The North County Humane Society’s (NCHS) Annual Member Appreciation Luncheon and Auction was recently held at the Paso Robles Culinary Academy. The well-attended event was an opportunity to raise funds for the North County’s only “No Kill” cat shelter/sanctuary and recognize the efforts of the many people who make the programs and facilities a reality. Among the people recognized was a very deserving young man, Alex Harris. In a special recognition ceremony, junior volunteer Alex Harris was thanked for his dedication and commitment to the cats at the shelter. Harris, a student at Lewis Middle School, volunteers every Wednesday afternoon and can be found doing everything from cleaning cat litter boxes to loving on the many cats waiting for adoption. When asked what his favorite part of volunteering was Alex replied, “I like doing the chores. I have to sweep up the cat areas and clean up.” Alex has benefitted as much as the cats he cares for through his work at the North County Humane Society. He has participated in school-based programs for attention and emotional issues but it is the cats that are really making a difference in his life. “They are very lovable. And I know their feelings. They kind of grab on to things when they are scared and you should leave them alone when that happens,” explained Alex.

What the Heck is Pickleball?
Pickleball Demonstration at Lewis Middle School. Teacher Brad Macomber and his eighth graders students got to participate recently during their P.E. class. Photo courtesy of Jack Hodges.
By Val Poalillo Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the country and the U.S. alone has more than 150,000 people playing the game from coast to coast. Invented almost 50 years ago by a U.S. Congressman from the state of Washington, the game emphasizes the same elements as tennis...only on a smaller court, and with a different racquet (called a paddle – solid, composite/graphite) and a baseball sized wiffle ball. The
game is very social, always fun, very challenging, and allows for a great workout. The appeal comes from the fact that there is not as much stress on the body because you do not have to cover as much ground. The court is the same size as a badminton court (20’ W x 44” L), which means it is one-third the size of a tennis court. The net (on the ground) is 2” shorter than a tennis net. Jack Hodges, a 2012 retiree to Paso, has brought his passion for
the game to our local courts at Centennial Park. I asked Hodges how he heard of the sport. “My sister (lives in AZ) was constantly trying to get me to play Pickleball. I thought it was a sport that was as silly as the name. Never did my research. Always told her I was too busy. When I retired, I got an email from her and she asked me ‘what is your excuse now?’ I promised I would go down to the local Pickleball Club in Laguna Niguel and check it out. The day I did, I was hooked in 15 minutes. I played sports all my life. I played, taught and coached tennis for forty years. I found this to be just as challenging, an equitable workout (without the stress on the joints), and more fun. I still love tennis, but Pickleball has become my passion. I am one of 700 USA Pickleball Ambassadors across the country. Our job is to introduce, teach, and promote the game. We ask only one thing... try it for a week (two to three sessions). Most people get hooked like I did.”
Relay For Life of Paso Robles
Hodges comes with excellent credentials. Born and raised in the Hawaiian Islands, he attended Stanford University where he majored in Journalism/English while playing football and baseball. After graduation, Hodges played in the Kansas City Royals Organization for two years. He retired from Saddleback College (Mission Viejo, CA) in 2011, where he was the Head Baseball Coach and a Professor in the Kinesiology/ Physical Education Department for 22 years. He has 42 years overall at the high school and college level. Hodges retired as the winningest coach in Saddleback College history in any sport! Hodges adds, “Pickleball allows for a great core workout. You have tons of fun as you are playing.... it can be competitive, but you are still laughing as you play. That is very healthy for the mind and body. All of our players talk about how much weight they have lost since they started playing.” For more great information including where and when people are playing this fun sport, check out the website here in Paso: www. pickleballpasorobles.shutterfly.com.

put forth the effort and a little of our soul to accomplish the goal of this club. Every Friday, we meet in Mrs. Schroeder’s room to express ourselves through our writing and setting some goals that we would like to accomplish.” Ana Cruz
“The world is dark, and precious is the light. Stories are light. Listen, my friend and do sit down. I shall... I will shed some light. Bearcat Muse: a great place for writing, a place where writing comes alive.” Cordell Swanson “We are a club that was created by the hearts of writers. We have creative minds that want to rally and be free. The club is lead by Mrs.
Schroeder, a worthy teacher to guide us to being glorious writers. We meet every Friday in her classroom where we try to reach our goals of being published authors for the people of the future. That is what we are here for.” Natalie Korff “We are a club that was created for the benefit of writing fanatics. There is not a particular person running the club, all of us
June 2013, Paso Robles Magazine
“I joined the writing club a few weeks after it was created, dragged into it by a friend when she found out I liked to write. The group was less of a club and more like a classroom of really close friends. We had a prompt to write about every day, and then we had a reading and feedback circle afterwards. During the year, we’ve shrunk from over ten close individuals to seven (sometimes less, sometimes more), but we’ve kept our muse alive. Our members have entered writing competitions and written scripts for school videos. Next year,
we plan to do a lot more for the school, with tutoring and speeches among our goals. As a senior next year, I plan to recruit more creative individuals to continue the club.” Monica Garcia “Before the club had started, the school had a lack of ways of expressing creativity through written words. It allows the students to show off their talents to an increasingly needy world for such celestial bodies.” Joshua Michael Meeks “Bearcat Muse helps students explore their different ways of writing whether it’s writing stories, formulating songs, learning to write poems, or simply expressing what’s going on within the environment around them. Students get a broader way to express their creative thinking or feelings. Personally, Bearcat Muse has given me somewhere to go on Fridays during lunchtime, and helps me meet new people and connect with others that have the same interests as me. Thank you, Bearcat Muse!” Cynthia Morris-Wilson

By Millie Drum At the spry age of 88, Paso Robles resident Dale Zeulner says, “This is a beginning.” He recently joined other local vets Gordon Bastien, Charles Harbor and Arthur Hypio on a trip to Washington D.C. sponsored by Honor Flight of Kern County; a nonprofit that transports veterans free of charge to view the nation’s capital, war memorials and Arlington Cemetery. The entire experience honored and underscored their lives in service to our country in ways that none of them quite expected. Since the trip, Dale has been on the local “circuit” at service clubs, luncheons and fundraisers on behalf of Honor Flight. I’ve had the privilege of writing many personal stories in the past 10 years, but spending an afternoon with Dale topped them all. We laughed and cried; parting with the feeling that something incredibly special had happened that day. Throughout the trip from April 12 – 14, the vets were welcomed at airports and at the memorials by honor salutes, people cheering and waving flags. Dale adds, “There were big crowds every place! When we got to Phoenix, it was louder and bigger than ever! And it was huge in Washington D.C.!” Honor Flight coincided with the Cherry Blossom Festival, bringing lots of tourists to the memorials, particularly school children. Dale tearfully recalls, “There was a teacher with her whole class and those kids walked up to shake our hands and thank us for what we did.” In 1942, Dale went from high school right into the service to see the world. Over 70 years later, Senator Kevin McCarthy presented Dale Zeulner and others with medals honoring their service in World War II. Greg McGill, Central Coast Honor Flight Representative for Kern County organized the trip, said that the logistics went off without a hitch. “I feel so blessed that I have the opportunity to help these

veterans see the memorial that was built in their honor. I’m glad that the community felt the same way I did and helped put this together.” The camaraderie between the men was poignant and emotional since they didn’t know that there were so many veterans left. Honor Flight arranges for a guardian for each vet. Dale’s son Tom accompanied his dad on this trip of a lifetime! Mail Call In World War II, Dale served on a Navy escort and mine sweeper that protected our soldiers before they invaded the five islands in the South Pacific that were under Japanese control. For a young soldier far from home and in harm’s way, a card or letter from home meant the world to them. “We left Pearl Harbor to sweep for Japanese mines before our invasions. It was almost two years before we got back to Pearl to touch ground
was presented with an envelope filled with cards and letters. “I think Tom and my two daughters had something to do with this. I had over 40 cards and letters from my family, friends and grandkids.” Even letters from 4th and 8th students from Templeton conveyed their thanks: “I would just like to thank you for fighting for our county and not giving up.” “You make me thankful that I can be in a safe place every day.” “Thank you for the service you have done for this country.” “You are courageous and daringly brave. I don’t know a lot about the war or anybody from it, but that doesn’t mean you are any less important. Whatever your story is, I’m hoping that our Lord was with you throughout your time in battle.” Heartfelt expressions of gratitude for the brave men of an era gone by...from children that may someday be defending our country. Honor Flight of Kern County is also dedicated to the Central Coast with plans to form a local branch of the nonprofit. To donate, mail a check to P.O. Box 822, Templeton, Ca. 93465.

Record dry conditions spark fire woes across California and mandatory water conservation in Paso Robles
By Chris Weygandt Alba
A
cross the entire state of California, the winter rains didn’t come. This year may go down in the record books. It may be one of those tough years that demand endurance. The abysmal rainfall of early 2013 has grim consequences. Record dry conditions have driven this town, this county, and this state into an official state of alert. In April, the U.S. Department of Agriculture designated SLO and Monterey counties as “primary natural disaster areas” because of severe drought between February and April. The disaster designation will make emergency low-interest loans available to local farmers and ranchers whose crops and herds suffer keenly from the lack of rain. For a county that last year produced over $861 million in crops, the two inches of rain we got in Paso Robles from February through April provided poor forage for herds and little moisture for dryfarmed crops. Nor did it sustain the new growth in the countryside. By the end of April, our landscape was already as parched as it normally is in August, and Cal Fire called an early start to fire season. By the first week of May, 10 wildfires churned across the state, burning tens of thousands of acres of dehydrated brush and timber. State officials suspect that 2013 will go down as one of the driest years ever.
WILDFIRE THREAT
“Fire season came on quick and early,” says Alan Peters, pre-fire division chief of Cal Fire’s SLO unit. “Conditions are easily months ahead of a normal season because of the low winter rainfall.” As Peters headed home from the huge Springs Fire in Ventura County on May 6, he outlined SLO County’s response to the parched state of the countryside: “We started making plans months ago to call an early fire season. It started on April 30, two or three weeks ahead of schedule. “The Paso Robles air attack base opened with a tanker and a tactical aircraft several weeks earlier than planned, and everything got online fast,” says Peters. “Staffing at the ten North County fire
WILDFIRE SAFETY
Cal Fire urges extreme caution in this abnormally dry fire season. 4 CLEAR dead vegetation and combustibles within 100 feet of home. 4 NEVER use lawn mowers in dry vegetation. 4 NEVER use electric or gas-powered equipment after 10 a.m. or on windy days. 4 NEVER drive vehicles off the road onto dry grass or brush. 4 SPARK arresters are required on all gas-powered equipment in wildland areas. 4 KEEP a shovel, fire extinguisher, and cell phone nearby.

stations moved up two to three weeks — all of them got an engine and we brought in approximately 50 seasonal firefighters early.” Normally, the moisture level in local grasses and brush peaks in mid-May, Peters explains, but with this year’s scant rainfall since February, the moisture in new growth peaked in early April, and it wasn’t even very high then. “We’re at August levels now [the first week of May],” he says. “Moisture is so low, brush is burning readily. Already we’ve put down multiple fires every day in the county.” Peters points out that the Paso Robles/Nacimiento zone hasn’t suffered a major wildfire in about 50 years, and all that aging growth is an increased risk. People need to be extremely cautious in this abnormal summer, he says, because most of this county’s wildfires are caused by their careless use of power tools, mowers, and vehicles. “Mow before 10 a.m.,” Peters urges North County residents, “or better yet, wait for cooler weather in the forecast.”
almost 27 inches in ’77-78. Paso Robles is funny that way: This is NOT your average town. Most sources peg our average annual rainfall west of the Salinas River at about 14.75 inches. We’ve hit that amount exactly twice in the past 127 years (got close to it seven times). We once went over 50 years without ever hitting the average 14-inch mark. On the other hand, in the past 127 years, the town has waded through more than two feet of annual rainfall 15 times. The biggest deluge on record occurred in 1883-84, when over 42 inches of rain fell on our fair city. Big rains and dry years are actually rather rare — most years, Mother Nature moderates her behavior. For more than 100 years, the winter rainfall, no matter how variable, was enough to replenish the huge basin of groundwater beneath the North County. That aquifer, in turn, has been the sole and steadfast source of water since this area was settled.

practically all the water that collects in the aquifer each year, leaving precious little surplus behind. Solving that problem, Larson explains, will take a united effort by all municipal, commercial, and rural residential users, along with the agricultural community that is the historic backbone of SLO County’s economy. While a county-appointed task force works on that long-term, Larson says the city’s water conservation program tackles the immediate problem... Water levels are dropping in the city wells. Production rates are falling too. Now add this: The demand for water mushrooms by 330 percent from May through September, as irrigation peaks with OVERDRAWN? hot summer weather. Here’s our deeper quandary: Studies of the The bottom line: The city faces a shortfall of 2.5 Paso Robles Groundwater Basin (most recently in million gallons of water per day, says Larson. 2011) indicate that people are now pumping out The solution: Reduce the draw on city water by Photos by Chris Alba
20 percent, using 2008 summer water usage as the baseline. In August 2008, the average single-family home used an average of 280 gallons of water per person every day. In August 2012, with water conservation, we reduced that to 209 gallons per day. As a city, Paso Robles used 7,900 acre feet of water in 2008. In 2012, use was down to 6,693 acre feet. This year, we have another powerful reason to conserve as much water as possible, besides the unpleasantness that would result if we carelessly used up all the water in the city storage tanks (such as no water pressure, needing to boil the foul stuff that dribbles from the faucet, etc.)... This year, there’s that extremely high wildfire threat. “Besides storing water to meet daily peak demands,” Larson explains, “the city’s storage tanks provide emergency water reserves for firefighting. They are filled each night. With continued water conservation efforts by the community this summer, the city will have sufficient well capacity to maintain its emergency storage reserves.” Larson says that as a community, we deserve kudos: “Through the conservation efforts of residents and businesses, Paso Robles has reduced its annual water use by 17 percent in the past four summers. We have reduced our peak summer water usage by more than 20 percent. The community has done a great job of embracing water-use efficiency.”

Water-Saving Tactics
OUTDOORS Check for leaks in your irrigation system. Even a small drip can waste 50 or more gallons of water a day. Larger leaks can waste thousands of gallons. Water your lawn only when it needs it. To see if your lawn needs watering, step on some grass. If it springs back up, you don’t need to water. If it stays flat, it’s time to water. Don’t run the hose while washing your car. Install a shut off nozzle on your hose. Sweep your concrete and asphalt areas, rather than hosing them off. Plant drought-resistant trees and plants, and put a layer of mulch around trees and plants. INDOORS Check your toilet for leaks. A leak in your toilet may be wasting more than 100 gallons of water a day. To check, put a little food coloring in your toilet tank. If, without flushing, the coloring begins to appear in the bowl, you have a leak. Take shorter showers and install low-flow shower heads. Every unneeded minute of a shower wastes five to ten gallons of water. Use a timer, and install water-saving shower heads that use less than three gallons per minute. Catch and redistribute cold shower water as you’re warming up your shower. Keep a plastic container in your shower and reuse the water for indoor or outdoor plants, pet dishes, etc. Use your automatic dishwasher and washing machine only for full loads. The washing machine uses 30 to 40 gallons of water on a full load. The dishwasher uses about 25 gallons.

Downtown City Park / Playground Project : Community is Encouraged to Take Part in Renovation Effort
By Melissa Chavez Imagine yourself as an eight-year-old boy at the park, and the first kid to climb a perfectly new play structure. A bridge with yellow metal railing is suddenly your fortress wall. Another corner is a turret lookout atop your fantasy kingdom. Fast-forward several decades: You’re standing on the same fortress wall. Somehow, your imaginary kingdom has lost its charm. Once shiny enamel paint is now faded, worn. It reveals corrosion. As your own eight-year-old takes to the swing, the high-pitched creaking metal resembles more antiquated relic than King Arthur’s castle. It’s not exactly the park day you had in mind. What can be done? There is a solution: Get involved!
renovating the park will complement the beauty of downtown.”
Historic Pathways
A Design and a Plan
Since June 2012, a creative conspiracy has been in the works to renovate the playground, located at the 11th Street side of City Park. Fortunately, everyone can help. The Paso Robles REC Foundation and the Paso Robles Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee have galvanized their resources to raise funds for a $350,000 goal toward subsidizing and revitalizing the park playground. They aren’t just renovating the 33-year-old structure. The REC Foundation announced it will “reformat the flow of the play area within the same footprint of the existing space and create a more fun and safe environment while incorporating current code and ADA standards.” A circular seating area around a grand old oak will provide visitors with shaded places for conversing and relaxation. A curved walking path will meander around the perimeter of two play areas, including portions designed to accommodate younger children with safer ground surfaces. The structural design and materials
used will aesthetically compliment the nearby Carnegie Library Museum and other surrounding architecture.
Community Involvement
Successful implementation of these design features and construction materials depend upon grants, donations, fundraisers and individual public support. Approximately $35,000 has been raised thus far to help replenish reduced capital program funding. The nonprofit REC Foundation and the Recreation Advisory Committee have continued to raise some support through community-wide sponsors who “passed the hat.” So far, local merchants have donated $10,000, and the REC Foundation and Concerts in the Park activities have each provided revenues of $7,500 in matching donations. At an organization meeting in March, the REC Foundation received a $2,500 donation in honor of the late Robin Fairbairn. In April, Randy Flamm, IQMS
President and CEO, made the very first corporate donation of $5,000 to the cause. “The Downtown City Park is the crown jewel of our city, where local families gather and is often the site of many events which welcome visitors into our home,” said Flamm. “We see our interest in this project as an investment, not only in our youth, but also for the community...
The public has a terrific opportunity to take part in this fundraising, by selecting among seven levels of sponsorship. Donation amounts range from $25 to $25,000, in which contributors may have their names inscribed on plaques and markers in play areas, medallions on promenade brick pavers and Friends of the City Park Playground Donor Wall or Grand Opening Programs. In this way, the park can take on an even more neighborly influence as City Park renovation benefits through monetary support. Sponsorship is a practical necessity, but it can also become personally fulfilling. Family and friends have a golden opportunity to make tangible and long-lasting tributes to their loved ones. How pleasing it would be to celebrate their lives with pavers, plaques or wall inscriptions bearing their names, right in the heart of Paso Robles.

PASO P EOPLE 4th of July
Fireworks wait for, is not a City funded event. It costs $70,000 to sponsor the day’s event and those funds are raised by donations from individuals, businesses and organizations. Col. Al Garcia who has been involved for a few years, and the chair for the past two years, said he and the team who have worked for months, are completely regrettably sorry to have America’s Biggest Birthday Party Day be cancelled in Paso. Progress payments for various
portions were coming due and the funds were not there. The plug had to be pulled. Sad, but the economy is still taking it’s toll. That’s the crummy news. Here is a bright light of hopefully really good news. Next year, 2014, is the 125th celebration of Paso as an incorporated city. Read about that in the Quasquicentennial update on page 28. America will surely have another birthday and El Paso de Robles is having a HUGE one – all year long! The funds that were raised this year are being safely set aside for hopefully a major fireworks day next year. It means that fundraising now has an entire year to take place and a good jump-start from this year’s efforts. Yes, donations and sponsorships are still necessary and you can send yours to Paso Robles Rotary c/o Paso Blast 2014. PO Box 276,
Paso Robles, CA 93447-0276. The team is already planning to make next year’s event a grand one. Please read these important notes. First: If you made a 2013 donation by check, those records are on file. The donors will be contacted to see if they want their donation retuned or roll it into the 2014 event. Next: For the sake of all that is good and holy, DO NOT have, own, sell, store or set off fireworks within the Paso Robles City limits. This is a tremendously dry year and by the 4th, it’s gonna be a hugely dangerous fire season! Further, it is against the law to possess, sell or set off fireworks in the city limits! Why in the world would anyone even consider taking a chance to violate that? Just buck up, be safe, send some money and let’s have a great 2014 celebration instead.
a proclamation promoting National Volunteer Week. Throughout the year, the City of Paso Robles benefits from the commitment to volunteerism of over 500 area residents. In 2012, City volunteer hours were the equivalent of 14 full-time employees with an estimated annual value of $696,000. In addition, City volunteers’ professionalism and energy keep service levels at a continually impressive level. In a letter of thanks to all City volunteers, Picanco noted that their spirit of volunteerism not only enriches the lives of giver and recipient but helps to position the City for the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow.

The Sad News and then the Good News By Chuck Desmond It’s going to be “just another day” at Barney Schwartz on July 4th this year. Normally, the campus is alive in preparation and anticipation for the best fireworks display on the Central Coast. But not this year because there won’t be one! Not at Barney Schwartz and not anyplace around here. Public support for the extravaganza has been high but that unfortunately did not translate into financial support. The fireworks that our families have come to love and

City recognizes Volunteers The City of Paso Robles honored its many volunteers in recognition and celebration of National Volunteer Week at the Tuesday, April 16, City Council meeting. In a proclamation that recognized City volunteers’ immense donation of time and talent, Mayor Duane Picanco conveyed the City’s gratitude and invited the public to view the photographic display of volunteers in action in the City Hall lobby. National Volunteer Week began in 1974 when President Richard Nixon signed an executive order establishing the week as an annual celebration of volunteering.

Quasquicentennial Update ‘The Recipe Book’ Issue
By Chuck Desmond Only seven more months until midnight Dec. 31st to ring in 2014 – the 125th year of El Paso de Robles’ incorporation as a city. The Quasquicentennial (a celebration of anything that survives for 125 years!) committee has a lot going on to make sure all things are ready for the opening ceremony extravaganza scheduled for City Park. Every month, you’ve been reading about the progress right here in your Paso Robles Magazine. Each month, more items are checked off the list. This is a city-wide, year-long celebration of our past. Everyone is invited and encouraged to participate at any level that suits them. The goal is to remember Paso’s history and share it with everyone who lives or visits here. Akin to that is to teach our children about their hometown’s heritage in a fashion that they can hand down to the next generation. Perhaps this is absolutely the best part of the whole enchilada. Investment in our youth always pays off! Let’s start with a fast update. First, the logo design contest was a success and in this column, you see the winning logo. Each organization, club, group and business, and the like, is free to use this logo to tie to their own promotions for their own events in 2014. It’s good for advertising and community awareness. It shows your customers, employees and everyone else, that you care about Paso. Next is the decision to have the actual birthday of Paso (March 11) be a party in the park. Then comes National Women’s Day, also in

Cal Paso Solar Energizes Downtown Paso Building James Shepard of Cal Paso Solar Electric is proud to announce the construction of a solar power system for partners Brett Van Steenwyk and Debbie Lorenz on the roof of their recently remodeled building at 811 12th Street in Downtown Paso Robles. “Brett and Debbie have elected to offset their PG&E bills by using the latest photo-voltaic technology. The project, the first of it’s kind in downtown Paso, utilizes eighty four-260 watt American made Solar World solar panels and Enphase micro inverters.” “The micro inverters efficiently convert the DC power to AC power at the solar panel, allowing maximum flexibility in distributing the power to the four meters in the building,” said Shepard. Brett, a leading Paso Robles developer, has been involved in solar applications and solar leases for years, “The cost benefits, to me, make solar a slam dunk with the investment return in just five years time. Nothing stands up to sunlight like glass.” “We were able to maximize the available space by modifying a ground system to work on the roof,” said Shepard. “Darren Traversa, Structural Engineer, did the engineering work.” The system will produce 32,900 kilowatts annually, saving thousands of dollars per year. More importantly they will be unaffected by PG&E’s price increases in the future. Cal Paso Solar Electric, leading experts in photo voltaic solar power systems for residential and commercial projects, is also now able to provide grantwriting expertise for agricultural solar projects.

“The Paderewski Festival in Paso Robles is indebted to Paso Robles Magazine for its long time editorial support, magazine covers and advertising positioning. The magazine has covered the November Festival since 2006 with thorough and insightful articles by Melissa Chavez that have added to readers’ understanding of Ignacy Jan Paderewski – pianist, composer, political leader, humanitarian and orator – and major Paso Robles landowner, grower and winemaker during the years 1914-1939. The magazine has generously covered the November Festival and its Youth Piano Competition, Youth Cultural Exchange to Poland, visiting Polish dignitaries and fundraiser concerts. It has also featured the Festival on several magazine covers, and since 2009 strategically placed the Festival’s ads to maximize their impact. Bob Chute and his team have truly helped underscore the importance of the Paderewski Festival with Central Coast visitors and North SLO County residents, positioning it as the region’s important musical and cultural event on the November calendar. Thank you!” Paderewski Festival Board of Directors

Symphony of the Vines Orchestra and the Vines Trio to perform
‘Pops Classics at Halter Ranch’
By Melissa Chavez A violin’s bow lauds the season with borrowed notes from Vivaldi. An artist drenches his brush in green to echo nature on canvas. Sunlight glints through goblets of Côtes de Paso Blanc. The sounds, sights and tastes of summer...what could be finer? On Sunday, June 9, the public will enjoy a double treat when both Symphony of the Vines and the Vines Trio perform at Halter Ranch Vineyard in Paso Robles. Dress is casual for this relaxing musical afternoon from 3-6 p.m. Halter’s historic 1800s-era barn provides an elegantly rustic ambiance for classical music amongst the grapevines. Options for seating are inside the barn

and al fresco. Conductor Greg Magie has prepared a program to delight concert junkies and music lovers alike that includes The Star-Spangled Banner, An Outdoor Overture by Aaron Copeland, “Summer” from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Overture to Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss, Jr. The featured violinist will be Pamela Sheffler. Gifted soprano Jumi Kim will perform opera arias. There will be plenty to enjoy in the Symphony’s biggest fundraiser of the
year. Chef Dallas of Tenth Street Basque Café will bring tantalizing dishes from France and Spain, such as Chicken and Sausage Paella, which monopolized four “Paso Pinot and Paella” competitions. Pulled pork, smoked over oak wine barrel staves, Famous Basque Cole Slaw, vegetarian dishes (including grilled Portobello mushrooms and red peppers), a tempting array of desserts, and Paso Robles wines will also be served.
A Live and Silent Auction will feature the “Auction of the Baton,” in which the victor conducts the orchestra. Live bidding on a plein air creation is sure to induce fierce competition, and a Celebrity Bake Sale will showcase desserts by a “Who’s Who” of chefs. Halter Ranch is a stunning 280-acre patchwork in the Adelaida region of Paso Robles’ westside, favored by locals, but known worldwide for award-winning wines. Tickets are $45/ barn and $25/ grounds. Student IDs receive half-off admission. Visit BooBoo Records/SLO, Matt’s Music/Templeton or www.symphonyofthevines.org.

ROUND TOWN
Remembering Old San Miguel San Miguel
Reflections
By Lynne Schmitz
Perusing old newspapers for historical information, I enjoy reading the columns written by local ladies about residents and events of the various towns around the area. San Miguel is no exception having had several different scribes over the years. The subject matter was generally concerned with such neighborly news as to who was having visitors or was visiting others, who was ill at home or in the hospital, and perhaps notice of a dance or other community event or a new building in town. Obituaries of well-known people were often put right on the front page. Reading through these accounts brings back so many memories of the people and places that are named. Growing up in a small, tight-knit community like San Miguel, everybody knew everybody. Mother’s beauty shop clients were all our friends and neighbors who, as we did, shopped at the local markets and other businesses, attended the local movie theaters (we had two in the 1940s) and attended card parties, dances, fund-raising dinners and school events. They worked together to put on the events. So it is natural that there was interest in day-to-day events in the lives of townspeople. Today there is still such interest but for the personal touch one must be techno-savvy because it will be found in your connections on Facebook, Twitter and other electronic media. Today’s columns center much more on events, organizations and stories oriented towards community cohesiveness. As I read the old newspapers, the memories flooded in. Family names
included Witcosky, Van Horn, Belza, Awalt, Stewart, Sinclair, Dallaire and McGowan. Joe and Vivian Witcosky owned Witcosky’s Market. Margaret McGowan was Justice of the Peace in the San Miguel Justice Court. Our correspondents in the Paso Robles Press included, in 1949 Barbara DePew (active in youth groups and other organizations) and in 1952, Athelma Lamb (farmer, school bus driver, also involved in youth activities such as Campfire Girls) - both of them very active in the community. More names threading through the columns included Fisk, Hensen, Burden and Branch, Carminetti, Burns, Atwood, Eddy, Doty, Dittemore, Parker and Clemons. Art Eddy owned a general store, selling hardware and other household goods.During the era of Camp Roberts, he just sat opened boxes on the floor – the merchandise moved so fast that it was gone before it could be put on the shelves. Bertha Dittemore and two of her very best friends, Nell Wickstrom and Pearl Short, lived in a neighborly row on the bluff above L Street. Some of the families had farms and ranches. And then there are the names of so many businesses that have gone by the wayside, Witcosky’s Grocery and Eddy’s General Store included. Since Highway 101 ran right through the middle of town – as it did through all the towns and cities on its route through the state – businesses lined the highway. Service stations (aptly named at the time, for the attendants pumped gas, washed windows and checked the oil), and restaurants catered to locals and travelers. On the Awalt property a bit north of the mission, the Green Parrot Café was built to accommodate Southern Pacific workers. It was open 24 hours and there was a room in the back for rail workers to stay overnight if necessary.
Nearby was Hugo Lichti’s service station. Downtown, you could pull into Swede Lund’s Union Service Station, Harry Kahl’s station or the Chevron Station run by Slim Perrien and Gene Beaver to have your car fueled and checked. At that time, the Elk-
horn served a buffet and there was Spanish food available at Gus’s Café in Bob McKim’s Sportsman’s Club. Angelo the Greek (as he was known) owned the Mission Restaurant and Lydia Lichti was the chief cook at Bill’s BBQ. New neighbors were always welcomed and included in the community of San Miguel as they are welcome today.
Food Bank’s Hunger Awareness Day – June 7 It’s One Day, One Dollar, One big challenge to feed the hungry with the SLO Food Bank stages its Hunger Awareness Day on June 7th. The challenge: raise enough money in just one day to feed 44,000 hungry people in San Luis Obispo County. Each contributed dollar will provide $10 worth of food. There are five ways you can provide food for hungry neighbors through the county: 1. Make a one dollar donation online at www. slofoodbank.org or mail a check to P.O. Box 2070, Paso Robles CA 93447 (make checks payable to Food Bank Coalition). 2. Become a quarterly donor and fight hunger throughout the year by having your donation automatically deducted from your bank account or credit card. Call 238-4664 to set this up. 3. Make a gift in someone’s honor. 4. Have your gifts matched by companies or employee donations. (This doubles the donations and doubles the impact.) 5. Make a gift to the GleanSLO Program (www.slofoodbank.org/gleanslo_donation.php). You may also donate food. Families and organizations may contribute fresh and non-perishable food including fruits and vegetables, grains, and proteins (canned tuna, salmon, chicken, bean soups, bakes beans, dried and canned beans and peas, chili beef stew and peanut butter). In the North County food donations may be dropped off at 2212 Golden Hill Road in Paso Robles, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Of course, you may always donate money. The Food Bank Coalition invests donations effectively and efficiently. When you make a monetary donation 94% goes towards getting food to hungry residents. The Food Bank is a 501(c)(3) organization, so your gift is tax deductible. You can become a Food Bank partner. Whether it’s sponsoring a campaign, holding an event or cultivating the next generation of philanthropists, your participation is vital. To become a Food Bank partner contact Wendy Lewis, Chief Operations Officer at 235-0919. Last, but not least, you can volunteer. Volunteers are essential at all levels at the Food Bank. Visit the Food Bank online for more information about volunteering. You can also follow Food Bank on Twitter and find them on Facebook.

County Perspective Big Earth: Naturally we’re all excited about the magazine’s enhancements, especially the technology coming that will make us more accessible, more dynamic and just all-around better looking...kind of like me. And while technology can become humanity’s best servant, some of us who are techno-klutzy by nature, often end up serving the Machine. After the weekend, I noticed that Sylvia, my trusty Kludgemaster Bit-Knight 9000 desktop, had crashed. Not good. I fired her back up and went into diagnostic mode, where I discovered my hard drive was completely full. Virus, I wondered? Nope, something stranger, Google Earth, my map program had been busily saving detailed images of our planet, right under my nose; almost 400 gigabytes. It’s a rare little glitch Google knows about, but it only affects some computers. They say they fixed it. By my experience, they didn’t. Dry Earth: Stuff can accumulate slowly, without notice, until a crisis occurs. That crisis point may have come for Paso Robles groundwater users. Unfortunately, we don’t really know,
because we don’t have a window into the aquifer. Paso Robles basin water reserves are dropping, but the problem is we don’t know how precipitously – pardon the pun – yet. That’s because underground aquifers are masters in stealth; they’re hidden by rock and soil. County supervisors took a sober look at the situation on May 7th, as county engineers announced plans to rev up groundwater studies that could get us some sorely needed details, later this year. At the board meeting, County Water Resource Engineer Courtney Howard put up a series of bar graphs spelling out one thing: we will dry up at some point, even though the charts had optimistic reserves. The last few dry winters are partly to blame, but so is development. Perhaps the biggest problem is simply not being able to thoroughly quantify, to understand what is going on beneath our feet, says County Water Conservation Project Manager James Caruso. “The main problem even when we get adequate rain, the basin still falls, Caruso explains, “that’s the bad part.” But without a ‘why’, county super-
By Bruce Curtis
visors are growing frustrated. Board members noted that even though the last Paso Robles groundwater basin study in 2003 projected decent reserves for decades, board members are hearing from rural residents who have run out of water completely; something nobody expected to happen quite so soon. Supervisor Bruce Gibson: “I am struck by unabated well declines, this implies a crisis situation here.” County Engineer Paavo Ogren: “The challenges we face are far more complex than a bar chart can yield; not everyone sits at the same place over the basin, some people are still pumping water, others are getting hit really hard. Some can pump but the water quality is pretty poor.” Gibson went on to echo other board members when he asked whether the recommended safe yield [RCS] of 97,000 acre-feet annually was realistic, perhaps it is more than is sustainable. “Are we understanding where the safe yield is? If you look at the RCS, we are at the safe yield but well levels
are still declining.” And there is the matter of what county staffers euphemistically call, adjudication. Owners of dry wells and others blaming large water users may be headed to court. In other words, let the water wars begin. Many of the 6,000 of rural Paso Robles residents who depend on groundwater have formed an advocacy group, Paso Robles Groundwater Basin Overliers for Water Equity, or PRO Water Equity, although whether the group will gear up for litigation, remains to be seen. At least courts could rule more clearly and quickly, county staffers suggest, if the current water basin study comes up with specific data, such as where the aquifer has some reserve capacity, and where it does not, inferring that heavy users could be identified. “All that stuff is part of adjudication,” Ogren told the board, “but in the event that it goes into the courtrooms, having study data would go through adjudication faster.” And if landowners and water users end up against each other in court, what would the county’s role become, asks Ogren? “I view that as a completely different discussion,” said Ogren.

Relay for Life of Paso Robles
June 22 &23 - 24 Hours You Will Never Forget! By Millie Drum
Local kids decorate Hundreds of Luminarias Help us illuminate HOPE by dedicating a luminaria. Your donation to remember or honor a loved one will provide hope and inspiration to those facing cancer. All proceeds benefit the programs of the American Cancer Society to find a cure, save lives and help people recover from cancer and stay well through research, education, advocacy and service. Relay Team Captain of the Pinups, Carlotta Racca has organized a huge effort to get local classrooms involved in the Relay for Life spirit. Never before in Paso’s Relay history has there been this kind of participation, involving teachers, their students and families. Creating awareness through the younger generation will sustain Relay for Life’s goal for years to come. More importantly, involving children and adolescents helps them understand how cancer touches everyone and gives them ways to cope with their loss and celebrate for the survivors.
Carlotta’s personal commitment comes from her friend Riana DeNysschen who is a cancer survivor. Last year, Carlotta supported Riana with a Relay team and by walking with her at the Susan G. Komen 30 mile walk that tested their strength and determination; ending in a victory that changed their lives! With the same determination to reach out and help, Carlotta is working with Bauer Speck, Georgia Brown, Winifred Piper, Trinity Lutheran, Cappy Culver in San Miguel, and the Paso Robles Youth Art Foundation to give each luminaria bag a message of hope and inspiration created by a local student! Unfortunately, we lose our pets to cancer, too. Relay helps you remember your pet by sponsoring a Pet Luminaria by going online (www.
relayforlife.org/pasoroblesca) or at the day of the event. In previous years, a scoop of sand was placed in the bags to secure the candle. But last year, the idea of using a small (5.5 oz.) can of pet food was a huge success! Relay teams will be donating the cans to Woods Humane Society after the event. Downtown and Studios on the Park support Relay! On June 15, Studios on the Park will display many of the most creative Luminaria bags from 5 to 9 p.m., the same evening as the first Summer Concert in the Park! Other downtown businesses displaying the bags are the Chamber of Commerce, Alliance Board, Kahuna’s, DiRaimondo’s Cheese Shop, Paso Robles Furniture, Divine Party and more to come! Early in June, the “Paint Downtown Purple” ribbons will be tied on the trees around the city park, a reminder that Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society provide services for those going through cancer. Cancer Survivors and Caregivers Please join us for the first laps in your honor! We’ll treat you to a
delicious healthy breakfast prepared by Therapeutic Chef Nancy Walker from The Wellness Kitchen and Resource Center in Templeton. Registration begins at 8 a.m. Survivors Lap begins at 9:30 a.m. with Caregiver Lap following at 9:45 a.m. For more information, call Heather Caudill at 208-6047 or email Heather.Caudill@cancer.org. Relay for Life is June 22 and 23; 24 hours from 9 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the River Oaks Event Center. The Luminaria Ceremony at Dusk The track will be lined with more than 1,000 lighted bags. The energy of a day filled with team events, games and entertainment will change with a shift in consciousness. Calm reflection will take the crowd’s attention to the amphitheater stage. David Lee is the featured speaker for the Luminaria Ceremony. His personal fundraising effort for his team the Star Trekkers earned him the #1 honor last year. This year David is leading the effort again. The Star Trekkers have grown to three teams and over 45 members. David’s journey through cancer offers hope and reason to remember. Honor and celebrate those we love as we pass each lighted bag with a name glowing in the night. Visit www.relayforlife.org/pasoroblesca for complete information.

The 15th Annual Winemakers’ Cookoff will be held August 10 from 6-9 p.m. at the Paso Robles Event Center. The Paso Robles Rotary will again bring over 30 Paso Robles winemakers together to compete to see who is the best chef, and organiz-

Thanks to the event, The Paso Robles Rotary contributed $30,000 to Paso Robles High School scholarships last year. Since 1999, the Rotary Club has created a perpetual fund of more than $400,000 called the Harlow Ford Scholarship Fund.

Solar Spores: They say, leave well enough alone, but ironically that doesn’t always work when you want clean energy. The Los Angeles Times is investigating an outbreak of valley fever among solar farm workers in Carrizo Plain. State health investigators walked hand in hand with state and county occupational safety and health officials among the solar panels at construction sites for Topaz Solar farm and California Valley Solar Ranch, the two largest solar energy projects in the valley.
Coccidioidomycosis, the culprit, is normally dormant in the valley desert soil, but when disturbed, these nasty little fungal spores break out of their introverted shells to wreak havoc on the lungs and bodies of affected workers; 28 at last count. About half the victims come down with flu-like symptoms that resolve fairly quickly, although a handful of sufferers can experience worse symptoms; for the 1% who die from valley fever, the disease is no laughing matter. Local health officials are concerned that
Early Fire: Speaking of meager rainfall, Cal Fire is expecting a potentially devastating fire season, so they’ve ramped up staffing and started summer training earlier than normal, according to officials at Cal Fire’s San Luis Obispo Unit. The air attack base at Paso Robles airport is also coming online earlier; Paso Robles estimated rainfall was only seven inches this year, making it one of the driest years on record.
continue to prosper here, our involvement in helping to further the goal of an event like the Cookoff is one way of giving back.” “The Paso Robles Winemakers’ Cookoff has become one of Paso Robles’ most popular wine, food and music events,” says event co-chairperson Bob Fonarow. “Participating wineries pair their grilled culinary creations with their finest wines and compete for both Judges’ Choice and People’s Choice awards the day of the event.

While studies show valley fever was a factor or the direct cause in more than 1,400 deaths in California, Centers for Disease Control figures indicate the disease has declined by 90% across the Southwest. State health officials have little more to offer sufferers than a recommendation to buy dust masks and stock up on antifungal medications, says the article’s author.

Hoofbeat By Dorothy Rogers This June we celebrate 32 years of Hoofbeat, graduation and let’s not forget, Father’s Day. There is something for almost everyone so grab your hat and boots and head for the horses. The Derby is Coming to Town Cheer on the cowboys and cowgirls as they vie for top marks at the National Reined Cow Horse Association’s Derby set for the Events Center June 10-15. Guests coming from out of town for graduation or Father’s Day, give them a western experience. Admission and parking are free and there will be booths for shopping along with some great looking horses and friendly people. Skills needed on a ranch have been codified with points added or subtracted for execution performance will be demonstrated and judged. A show that celebrates the maturing cow horse, you will see horses perform reining (prescribed maneuvers without a cow), herd work (the Pacific Slope version of cutting) and the exciting cow work in which the horse and rider partners demonstrate control over one bovine by boxing it at one end of the arena,
followed by running turns on the fence and circling each direction. Always engaging, the cow work manifests what can happen with three different minds with three agendas are pitted against one another. Sometimes even the best and most capable have a bad day. See if you can pick winners in a variety of categories including plenty of local riders and horses. An Empty Saddle We also remember with fondness one of the vital members of our equine community, Don Hirons. With his family, he was active for more than four decades. Don was a committed husband, dedicated high school teacher and an advocate for the equine community. He was a giver and a model for all of us in the equine community. Don offered a guiding hand in serving in many capacities on equine boards. A knowledgable announcer for several breeds and disciplines over many years for Wranglerettes, Brush Poppers, Santa Lucia Welsh or the fairground events, Don quietly poured himself out to promote, announce, handle the gate, set up obstacles, etc. to make the show possible. His family participated in showing hunter/ jumpers, FFA, pleasure, trail and breeding Arabians, Quarter Horses, Thoroughbreds and, of course, their lovely Welsh Ponies.
Don always made time for a short visit with neighbors and was at the ready to help youth or novices get started with horses. He rarely smiled as much as when he was seen driving his ponies (well, perhaps more with his grandchildren). Light Hands Dr. Robert Miller, DVM will host the Light Hands Horsemanship event May 31-June 2 in Santa Ynez. Joining with Eitan Beth-Halachmy, other clinicians gather to offer insights Nostrils flare as Justin Wright and “Wanna into a variety of horse disciplines.

No. Co. Indians donate tickets for Summer Reading Challenge The North County Indians Semi Pro Baseball team is donating 250 youth tickets to the Paso Library in support of Dig Into Reading! a Summer Reading Challenge program that runs from June 3rd through August 17th. The first 250 children to complete the required summer reading time will earn a free book from the library and a North County Indians Youth game ticket. Host Family Program Due to last year’s success, the North County Indians Baseball Club will once again have a host family program in 2013. The intent of the program is to secure housing for some of the team’s players who will be spending the summer in the north county. “Although 75 percent of our players
are local, we will be bringing in some young athletes from around the state who will be in need of a place to stay this summer,” said Indians’ General Manager Kevin Haughian. “We are very hopeful that members of the community will consider opening their doors to a few student-athletes from May 29 through July 31. “This is a great chance for families to meet and host a ballplayer and the program will also allow the player to meet the north county community. This program, if successful, will help to bring top players from around the country as the Indians strive to establish the area as a premier destination for college level pro prospects. “Although our focus will always be to
develop local ballplayers, I’m very confident that in short order players from around the country will hear about our program and be interested in playing for the Indians,” said Haughian. “Living with a local family will ensure that their stay in the area is an enjoyable one. Last year’s players had such an enjoyable experience that after nine months they are still in touch with their host families. Seasons may come and go but some of these friendships can last a lifetime.” Anyone with an interest in housing one of the 2013 Indians is encouraged to call 835-6135 The Semi Pro North County Indians have 33 home games scheduled between June 7 and July 31 at Vineyard Athletic Park in Templeton, located west of Hwy

AndBe Boutique adds Bohemian-chic to Downtown Paso
By Melissa Chavez Two European women who have resided in California for many years have made Paso Robles their home. To affirm their dedication, they created a new shop called AndBe Boutique. Only a year ago, they were in the talking stages. Andrea Dewit, originally from Austria, and Beatrice Dubes Asseo, who hails from the idyllic area of Saint-Émilion, France, opened their storefront right in the center of town. Their store is located at 1140 Pine Street, nestled between Villa Creek Restaurant and Studios on the Park art gallery. “We knew exactly what we wanted, so it happened very fast,” says Andrea, a former proprietress of a flower shop in Malibu. “One thing led to another and we opened in March,” adds Beatrice, who with her husband, Stephan, own L’Aventure Winery in Paso Robles. The vibe is “Bohemian-chic,” with wares that run the gamut, from
clothing to accessories, linens and glassware, to gifts and decorative succulent plant containers. Shoppers can find jeans and leather +Beryll handbags from Los Angeles, plus more from New York. Clothing for both him and her are available, including timeless leather jackets, belts and wallets, and linen dresses in clean lines and neutral colors for three-sea-
son wear. There’s jewelry, too. One can find elegantly rustic rings, earrings and bracelets in artisan-crafted pewter. For the home, choose among soaps from Missouri, ceramic pieces from Morocco, bath towels from Turkey and Tunisia, tablecloths from France, rugs and soaps from Denmark, linens from Japan and more recent arrivals woven by the
Four Westside wineries instigate Paso Underground By Melissa Chavez Down the hall and toward the rear of AndBe Boutique is a glass door to a distinctive tasting room in Paso Robles Downtown. Aaron Wines, Clos Solène, Edmond August and Turtle Rock comprise this winemaker collective, dubbed “Paso Underground.” Innovative and purposefully unpretentious, these garagiste style winemakers are poised to deliver a four-fist sucker punch to any notion that youthful vintners can’t produce high-caliber wines. How? Passion, camaraderie, a tireless work ethic and
humor are key, but mentoring with the area’s living legends of winemaking is foundational. The proof in all of this, of course, is proven in the wine itself. Aaron Jackson stands out among the group, for he is all about organically farming just one grape, Petite Sirah. Disheveled and boyish, Aaron is in constant movement and unlikely to rest on his laurels. His motto? “Go big or go home.” Most recently, Wine Enthusiast agreed, rating his wine at 91 points. Guillaume Fabre, winemaker at Clos Solène, which is affectionately named for his wife, worked with Stephan Asseo
at L’Aventure Winery. Along with Fabre’s tenacity and natural abilities, Asseo’s training has helped him inform the creation of his own Rhône and Bordeaux style wines to a delighted audience. Ed Sauret, of Edmond August Wines, enjoys a respected history in the wine business. Before the Paso Robles AVA was made official, Sauret partnered with his winemaking colleague, Gary Eberle, at Estrella River Winery. His shop, Wine Vault, would debut first releases of today’s finest winemakers throughout the region. Today, Sauret bottles intensely flavored Rhône style
Zapotec communities of Mexico. An exciting find is The New Wine Country Cookbook: Recipes from Central California’s Coast, by Brigit Binns. The prolific author recently held a book signing at AndBe Boutique, and copies are still available. Its pages not only offer stunning recipes of stuff that grew, but provides the reader telling vignettes of the individuals who grace our tables with some of the best food and wine the Paso Robles region has to offer. The local feel of Paso Robles has grown on Andrea and Beatrice, but they also like the idea of touring the world and sharing items with their customers from their fun explores. “The goal is to travel,” says Beatrice, “and look for what we don’t see here and bring it back.” Satisfied with her stakes set in Paso, yet seasoned with fashionable souvenirs from afar, Andrea likewise agrees. “We have a little bit of everything!” AndBe Boutique is open Monday through Thursday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Call 2380787. Visit www.andbeboutique.com.
blends with winemaker Jacob Toft at Denner Winery. Don Burns of Turtle Rock Vineyards learned by example and practice from his uncle and aunt, Tom and Peggy Westberg, who have been winemaking in Paso Robles since the ’70s. Burns’ Turtle Rock Willow Creek Cuvée has proved especially popular for his brand. Fortunately for his fans, he’s hard at work, supplying more for an encore. Paso Underground Winemaker Collective is located at 1140 Pine Street in Paso Robles. Open on selected weekends and by appointment, call 237-0799.
Highly Recommended! “Micah and his team of concrete professionals did all of the decking for our pool, pool house foundation, and many retaining walls that were curved, plus three sets of stairs, the entry walkways and patio areas all on different levels. They even left us a map of the electrical conduit and water lines. The projects were completed on time and within budget.

was it a job. LINDA COOKS had found her PASSION! The store carried Eberle, Martin Brothers, Pesenti and Mission View as the local wines. Traditional alcohols and beers were also on the shelves. Linda squeezed management to try out a newcomer - Firestone Walker Beer - which almost no-one up here had heard of. She ordered a pallet and management went wild at the amount and figured it’d sit there for 6 months. In 2 weeks it was gone and Linda received a “gentle okay” to try some other gut-feels. And, she did. Wine was the draw and visiting wineries plus making endless phone calls to explain her mental model of “Albertson’s becoming the biggest outlet to buy wine” was a new concept for the area. Luck helped. The winery count exploded, so did their need for sales. One by one and then five by five, they liked her story - and they liked her. And then they trusted her. Linda’s TALENT for customer delight and supplier relationships was emerging. Everyone was thrilled and Linda was gaining reputation but more than that, she was looking to a bigger future. “What else should I and can I do to make this even better? I want to support our local wineries” Visitors? Hotels? Targeted advertising? In-store Tastings? Shipping? Private label wines? The ideas kept coming and with each one came a bit more success. Some basic marketing had showed that tourists and visitors were getting the message that this was the place to buy wine and Linda was the one to ask about which ones to purchase. The choices and questions were growing exponentially. What should I

serve with this meal? What is a dry wine? How does this compare to this? What should I have on hand for general use? Ms. Cooks began asking a zillion questions herself. She too was studying and learning. Leaving flyers at the hotels and meeting the staffs who in turn recommended her and the store was a no-brainer. With each episode, knowledge was gained and skills were honed. The TALENT got the work done and the PASSION to excel got stronger. The year 2005 brought another new idea into play. Linda called the ABC to find out how to do tastings in the store. With a stack of forms under her arm, she called Mr. Albertson’s-Corporate-Man and asked if she could do it. He grunted and groaned a “will I regret this, ‘yes’” and Linda hung up before he could change his mind. Wineries loved it. A tasting bar with crackers and tidbits supplied from two aisles over was built and, to this day, wineries reserve a time slot and host a tasting event. How neat is this? Under Linda’s leadership, there are now 150 local wineries with a store presence and 300 total wineries representing other states as well as imports. That’s an impressive selection! The results show because about 150 cases of wine, beer and alcohol fly out the doors every day. Requests for shipments also surfaced. With approximately 300 total wineries having a presence at the store, folks can have a custom case of wine put together and shipped to another Southern California Albertson’s store for pick up. Great for relatives and friends that live out of our area! Free shipping too! From what I can surmise, Linda has a lot of latitude in her decision making. Gary Mueller, the store manager, seems to have utmost confidence in Linda’s choices. He is in charge of one of our largest markets and has seven department managers to support. He needs decision makers who make the right choices.

What’s happening on Main Street?
By Chris Weygandt Alba If you’re reading this on the opening days of June, get ready to grab your keys and head over to the downtown city park. You’ll find a fabulous festival of fun for families with children on Saturday, June 8, with our annual KidsDay in the Park. Main Street hosts this free celebration of children from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., filled with entertainment and resources for families. Children will enjoy all the kidfriendly 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 child-friendly entertainment, handmade products, and festival vendors. Meanwhile, savory victuals will be available for purchase from festival food vendors to help you sustain all that energy for the day’s action. Downtown is the place to be this month, as the summer season brings
a host of other festivities to the downtown park. For garage-sale lovers and antique collectors, Trading Day turns the downtown park into “the North County’s largest yard sale” on Saturday, June 22, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The park will be packed with treasures new and used, along with artisans and crafters. As always, admission is free. If you have treasures from the past or arts and 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 have their own special Kid’s Flea Market that day 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. Don’t miss the wonderful summer evenings downtown as the Concerts in the Park begin on Fridays, from

The corner of 12th and Pine was the heart of Paso back in the day of the Paso Robles Mercantile.

and provisions for quick, casual dining at home or a picnic in the park.” Seeking the finest local products and resources for their General Store private label, Joeli, Erin and Jillian carefully selected the items that suited their discriminating style in sauces, vinegars, herb blends, butters, jams, salts; all kinds of items for cooking and garnishing as well as soaps, lotions and balms for cleansing and soothing!

a simple beautiful song written by a housewife. The lyrics intrigued Laurel Miller and when it came to naming the store almost seven years ago, her daughter Emily agreed. “We knew the vibe we wanted with little twinkling fireflies in a woodsy, whimsy setting.” Emily adds. It spoke like magic to us with a childlike imagination, which is what we use in our designs and product selection.” With great anticipation, Paso’s well-known contemporary craft and gift gallery is moving to a larger location across from the city park. Shoppers Laurel and Emily Miller. that live local and travel to Paso know that Firefly carries items that are unusual and one-of-kind. The assortment ranges from whimsy, yet practical, to unique and sustainable home décor, jewelry, books, clothing, candles, aprons, linens, lighting and some unexpected surprises. With an eye for design that has characterized Firefly from its inception, Emily’s hand-painted mural and
custom finished floor is the backdrop for the vignettes and alluring displays that are as creative as the products themselves. Take an afternoon to explore Firefly...839 12th Street, phone 237-9265.

SPOTLIGHT from page 57 With a five-year plan in mind, Dr. Ford opened offices in SLO, Morro Bay and most recently in Paso Robles. For the first 2 years, Dr. Ford built her practice by working with human resource professionals, company owners and Faith L. Hard, MFTI organizations to provide training, consultation and assessments, adding well-trained interns to serve the clients who either didn’t have insurance or couldn’t afford insurance. Dr. Ford states, “We are proud to provide affordable, supportive, solution-oriented counseling for those who want to make a positive change in their lives. We are locally owned and available for your immediate needs. Each of the interns has individual specialties to include assistance with individual, family, couple or group counseling, and return-to-work evaluations, drug and alcohol and behavioral health assessments in the workplace. The Paso Robles office is staffed by Faith L. Hard, MFTI. Faith adds, “I love to see the process of recovery and help my clients stretch their boundaries while making sure they have all the necessary resources.”

These gals know local real estate! What began as a childhood friendship between Lera Butterfield St. Louis and Karen Gouze continues with their successful business alliance and association with Platinum Properties in Paso Lera Butterfield St. Robles. With a Louis and Karen Gouze background in education, Lera knows that “Teaching and real estate are much the same. It takes a tremendous amount of people skills to get along, manage and negotiate. We’re meeting somebody new every day. Many of our clients want to learn about the area, think it’s beautiful and want a better way of life.” As a real estate broker, Karen also has a strong background in property and asset management and commercial development. Thanks to the vision Ryan and Heather Roda, owners of Platinum Properties, a diverse mix of ages, experience and knowledge has created one of the largest real estate firms in the North County. Lera adds, “It’s a credit to Heather to be able to gather the right mix of people in a progressive and positive environment. The latest technology linked with old mapping ways and how things were recorded
is incredibly powerful. Besides that, all through high school, Karen and I drove every back road in the North County. Nobody can beat us on picking out a geographic location!” Platinum Properties is located at 104 Gateway Center Drive, Ste. C in Paso Robles. Call 226-4204 and visit www.platinumteamproperties.com.

Recycle Your Broken Concrete & Asphalt According to facility manager Adam Gularte, there is no job too small or too large for the recycle facility that is associated with Papich Construc-
tion. For just over 2 years, the facility has served the North County by accepting broken concrete and asphalt from the general public and contractors in any quantity from demolition of roads to residential patios driveways. Recycling the rubble saves it from being dumped in the landfills; an important consideration for our environment while keeping construction costs down. The material is processed through a mobile crusher and a series of screens to break it down to a manageable size. It is then re-sold as State Spec class 2 base for major construction projects, roads and residential use. Adam adds, “The material is 100% recycled. We take the material that would otherwise go to the landfill and return it to the roads or other projects.” Recycling also saves the raw rock material that would be blasted from gravel mines, furthering the harm on the landscape. Papich Construction is a professional general engineering contractor specializing in civil construction. The North County Recycle Facility is located off Ramada Drive at 435 Volpi Yasabel, Paso Robles. Open Monday through Friday, 7am to 3:30pm. 226BASE (2273), 459-0044 or email adam@papichconstruction.com.
