EDUCATION & YOUTH

Paso Robles Youth Arts Foundation – The Spirit of ‘I Can!’

By Millie Drum Since Vicki Lee became Executive Director two years ago, the pace at PRYAF has “stepped up!” In addition to running the nonprofit that offers 47 classes with 500 slots for students, coordinating live performances, supervising staff and volunteers and community outreach, Vicki takes time to give every student and parent the personal attention that truly makes PRYAF a second home for many families. Vicki adds, “The kids respect us and we teach them the spirit of ‘I can!’ Our teachers have heart.

Vickie Lee with 2 members of PRYAF.

Amanda Gonzales has been here since day one. She’s watching her first student that came to her at 5 years old graduate from high school this year! To watch what goes on here is amazing. We have older stu-

dents that tutor the younger kids with their homework. I’ve had kids walk from the high school to get here in time for their classes.” When asked what makes her role at PRYAF so rewarding, Vicki

Paso High Bearcat coaches & players lead annual camp to raise funds

Girls’ basketball camp set for June 16 -19 Aspiring girl basketball players from throughout San Luis Obispo County are invited to participate in a one-of-a-kind skills camp, led by two local basketball luminaries, June 16-19 from 9 a.m.-Noon. The camp will include hands-on help from 12 players-turned-coaches from the Paso Robles High School’s varsity

girls’ basketball team as well as the Bearcat coaching staff. Heidi Wittstrom Sill, PRHS varsity coach, former three-year AllLeague player for the Bearcats and former Division 1 basketball team captain with Cal Poly, will lead the camp. She will be joined by Scott Larson, a local legend for his service

as the school’s boys’ basketball coach for 32 years. Larson is known as a “shooting guru” with a focus on fundamentals, repetition and execution. “With the help of our varsity basketball players, we are going to have one instructor for every five or six girls,” Wittstrom Sill said. “The high level of personal hands-on instruction

replied, “It happened just recently when some kids in band class wrote their own songs. I was asked to sit in on the class and heard how PRYAF and Donna Berg’s dream changed their lives. Of course I cried knowing they understand why PRYAF was put here. The kids learn respect and take someone new under their wing. In two years I’ve seen little girls turn into young ladies.” PRYAF is located at 32nd and Spring Street in Paso Robles. Visit www.pryaf.org for the list of FREE classes. Fall enrollment begins August 23, call 238-5825. is what makes this camp different. We will emphasize the fun of the game, but every girl will also walk away with new-found skills and confidence.” The camp will consist of a combination of small station drills, full court games, team drills and group lectures designed to advance player knowledge of the game and will provide a total of 12 hours of personal instruction and is open to 4th through 9th graders of all skill levels.

It’s 1963 and Charles is using a Nikon 35mm.

any of you know my father-in-law, Charles Poalillo, as a grape grower, professional winemaker and winery owner. Or perhaps he was your Realtor. Or from Wines & Steins, or Exchange Club or maybe he “shot” your wedding; and because of these things, you also call him “friend.” Two things I know for sure about Charles A. Poalillo is that he loves photography, wine, and most Charles and Joyce at the of all his friends and family! Academy Awards April 2, Charles’ love for photog1974, at the Dorothy raphy began around age Chandler Pavilion, 16 when his Uncle Paul, Los Angeles. “who knew lots about almost everything,” built a dark room in their basement and taught Charles how to process negatives. This left a lasting impression. Charles moved from Connecticut to the Los Angeles area in 1945, with his parents and two sisters, just before his senior year in high school. There is still a hint of the east coast in his speech. Was that hard for him? “Nope,” he says as he throws up his hands and shrugs his shoulders in his classic Italian way; “No, not really. My parents needed to move; so we moved!” Fortunately for Charles, he registered at Fremont High School on S. San Pedro St.; which offered a photography class from Clarence A. Bach; founder of the first photo-journalism course in the United States. Many of Bach’s students went on to be photographers for “the war,” LIFE magazine & Sports Illustrated. Charles was soon in charge of taking pictures for the school newspaper and taking movies of football games for the coaches. Charles was one of three top students academically that year and he gave a speech at his graduation. Bach recommended Charles, now 19 years old, to the Los Angeles Daily News, which launched his professional photographic career. His starting pay was making $31 per week! Memorably, January 15, 1947, during the first weeks of Charles working for the newspaper, while running the telephoto machine, Charles saw the soon to be published photos of the gruesome Black Dahlia murder. The story later became the subject of a Hollywood movie.

Charles and Joyce: The early days of wine making.

Charles learning to ski in Sun Valley, Idaho with the local ski bunnies!

Charles Poalillo shooting an original selfie with fellow reporter circa 1954.

“As a general assignment photographer, I shot society teas to forest fires, sports events to homicides...sometimes all in the same day!” Charles explains with his wide smile. Later Charles transferred to the Sun Valley News Bureau covering events at the ski resort. The previous cameraman had broken his leg skiing while working on an assignment. Charles was told by his boss in Los Angeles not to ski at the new job; to which he replied, “No problem! I don’t know how!” When Charles reported for duty in Idaho, the chief photographer asked him if he knew how to ski? It turns out you have to ski to do the job. “So I learned how to ski and I loved it!”` It was during the newspaper days that Charles met Joyce; in 1952. Charles says he wooed Joyce by taking her out on assignments and sometimes including her in the shots. Married April 10, 1954, Joyce and Charles led a storybook life. Many of you know what an amazing partnership that was. In 1955, Charles founded Vanguard Photography, in Hollywood, CA. He specialized in public relations and publicity photos. Charlie proudly tells, “I covered seven presidents; from Truman to Reagan!” He also was a core photographer at twenty-four Academy Awards; many times with wife, Joyce, by his side, helping to keep him organized. Later, the three children, Susan, Andy (my husband) and Richard (passed in 2004), each had an opportunity to write the names of the award winners and presenters. Charles, being a great dad, made sure they each had a photo with their favorite star that year! Charles often found a way to blend family with business. Joyce and the three children were always in view of his lens. For a few years Charles was a cruise photographer; so the family would take cruises together. Please see FATHER’S DAY page 22

FATHER’S DAY from page 20

Numerous family and friends helped plant the vineyard, assisted with almost thirty harvests, created countless gallons of wine and created many wonderful memories. Joyce and Charlie opened Poalillo Vineyards in 1995; which is now owned and operated by daughter Susan and son-in-law, David, on their Vineyard Drive property. You can find Charlie there most Saturdays, sharing his amazing stories with the wine tasters. After the passing of his beloved Joyce in 2013, Charlie chose to stay in his Willow Creek home. To support Charlie, now 85 years old, Andy and I have moved in with him, so he can stay in the place he loves so dearly. He is still pruning grape vines, planting tomatoes and doing most things on his own. I hear Charlie’s accolades almost daily in my new career as a Realtor at Coldwell Banker Premier Real Estate. Charles Poalillo is wonderful example of how to take something you love, blend it with family and fun, and turn it Charles ran the Daily News into a career; and then do it Mobile Telephoto Unit. again and again.

Once Charles got a gig to cover a car at the Baja 500 and other races and events, so he and Andy headed south to cover the event. As fate would have it, the race car they were covering broke down very early on. “That’s life!” says Charlie. The volumes of photos, especially the wonderful black and whites of family and famous people, are found throughout the Willow Creek home. When you ask Charlie about all the famous people he met and all the wonderful events he covered he says, ”I was never star struck. Nope. They were just like everybody else. It was my job to take their picture and I was good at it.” In 1973, after many years of picking Paso Robles grapes and making garage wine with friends in the San Fernando Valley; Charles presented the idea to Joyce to purchase the 121-acre Casteel Ranch, and move to Paso Robles...to which she immediately agreed! Charlie calls this decision “Life Improving.” Joyce and Charlie later sold the ranch and the photograCharles and colleagues covering phy business and purchased the football at the Coliseum.

1887 Two Simultaneous Incidents Triggered HISTORIC Repercussions In 1887, a revolution exploded in the dirt streets of Paso Robles The events of that year marked the end of a frontier town and sparked a great celebration. Citizens and visitors from far and wide streamed into the village to commemorate the occasion, and the new Masonic Lodge threw the party of the century.

FIRST STEEL BRIDGE

The new steel bridge over the Salinas River revolutionized the town when it opened in 1887. Commerce and traffic had year-round access on the important trade route between the community and the east plains. Courtesy Eighteen Ninety House

Those who witnessed and documented the events – the town’s first newspaper, the recordkeepers of the Paso Robles Masonic Lodge – saw the future spinning toward them. Their artifacts let us view, through their eyes, what happened 127 years ago. It started with a bridge and a building.

(

COMMENT - BRIDGING THE SALINAS “A new civilization is crossing from the past to the present. The success of the Roman empire was due as much to its road and bridge builders as to its armed legions...abundant facilities for transportation form the basis of civil stability as well as afford means for the extension of commerce.” Paso Robles Leader 1887

The New Bridge W

ith railway connections to San Francisco and the world beyond, El Paso de Robles Springs was now subdivided, mapped, and sprouting like an acorn. So were the farms and homesteads on the plains east of the little valley. Wagon teams and carriages rumbled up and down the streets of the business district, north, south, east, and west... until the Salinas River woke up from its underground nap in the winter, full of rain and raging through the valley. In the dry season, traffic rode freely east and west, on a riverbed track strewn with straw. But there was no bridge for a team to

cross a flooded channel, so east/west commerce stopped when the rain started, as it did routinely every year. The Salinas River was an impediment to progress. Progress was remarkable to Daniel and James Blackburn. They had stood on this spot when it offered only water and rough shelter on a trail in the big emptiness of California, 20 years earlier. “Progress” in 1857 was the periodic stagecoach, ferrying the hopeful in search of their fortunes. Daniel Blackburn had been more fortunate than most in the ’49 Gold Rush. A few months in the gold fields, with thousands

EYEWITNESS - The first newspaper PASO ROBLES

PREDICTION - IMPACT ON FUTURE “THEIR MERITORIOUS PUBLIC SERVICE will make tens of thousands of fertile acres a source of profit to Templeton and Paso Robles...give the park frontage a genuine metropolitan air.” Paso Robles Leader 1887

LEADER arrived in town in 1886 and documented the circumstances, incidents, and repercussions of 1887. Publisher Horace Wright shared weekly insights and personal opinions too.

The Principals P

aso Robles hit milestone 1887 at a gallop. This was the year of speed. Action packed the pages of the LEADER newspaper every week. New facilities and new merchandise. Construction projects. A scarcity of lumber and carpenters. A news flash from the brickmakers: One million bricks, sold for hotel! Adding more kilns! That’s when the civilized world’s oldest civic organization called Daniel Blackburn with a mission: This rambunctious town really needs a Masonic Lodge. People are moving in all different directions, and Masons will pull this town together. Masons were builders, men with ideas. They had shaped America. Thaddeus Sherman, They were presidents (George WashingMaster Mason ton) and visionaries (Ben Franklin), explorers (Merriweather Lewis) and social reformers (Mark Twain). The Masonic fraternity was centuries old and regarded as ethical men who benefitted their communities.

of men who had nothing but hope, proved that shrewd men made fortunes by supplying human needs. He had parlayed his grubstake into food, more precious than gold. That bought the shelter on the stagecoach track and 26,000 acres. There were needs here too. The Blackburn brothers started building. Next thing you know, you got yourself a busy town. Horsepowered traffic jams. Hungry for more carpenters, more lumber, more bricks, more infrastructure! Now you have a major east/west trade route to expansion,

June 2014, Paso Robles Magazine

The Blackburns were naturals at this sort of work, and living in the vicinity was Master Mason Thaddeus Sherman, who was qualified to establish a Lodge. Events spun like a newsreel. March: 15 men decide to form a Masonic Lodge. April: Formal meeting, elect Mr. Sherman to obtain official status for the Paso Robles Masonic Lodge. April - May: Daniel Blackburn owns a prime lot on 12th Street and determines he will build a spectacular Masonic Hall. Bridge progresses satisfactorily. June 6, 1887: Paso Robles Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, is now official. First project: REVOLUTION!

PREDICTION - IMPACT ON FUTURE “EXPECT the greatest influx of settlers in search of permanent residence...acres in fruit and vines...a revolution in land values... The name of Paso Robles will become a household word.” Paso Robles Leader 1887

by Chris Weygandt Alba

June 1887 I

n a single year, pioneers had transformed a 30-year-old outpost in the wilderness into a civilized society. Multitudes poured into the town square from every direction to welcome the great occasion.

L ANDMARK B UILDING WHEN 1887 DAWNED, there was no city and no city government. There was no majestic spa resort on the town square, famous with the rich and sickly. There was no majestic anything. The largest things in the landscape were the oak trees. The village numbered 500 citizens, give or take, and reported 100 structures in the settlement. A person could stand at the corner of 11th and Spring and see practically all of them. There was still a watering hole at the stagecoach stop 20 years ago. Now the dirt streets in the business district were dotted with wood-frame storefronts and unfinished planks. A hamlet hammered together with lumber and nails witnessed the sudden appearance of the “Adams Block” with astonishment in 1887. “A rare combination of beauty and artistic taste” transformed the town square like an impeccable suit on man who has trudged through a wilderness. The first metropolitan enterprise ever built in the Pass of the Oaks, the Adams building dominated the intersection of 12th and Spring. As it rose in the spring, the new weekly PASO ROBLES LEADER avidly charted the progress of “the greatest center of attraction in town.”

The Great Wonder on 12th & Spring: The Adams Block and Masonic Hall.

The sophisticated Adams Block was metropolitan but totally homegrown – built with the brick, lime, and stone of Paso Robles. It had inventive arches, cathedralglass transoms, even the latest pipes installed for the future arrival of gas. Plus the first cement sidewalks outside of San Luis Obispo. As crews finished the interior in June, the LEADER declared the Adams Block was even bigger that it appeared: It was the forerunner of a genuine metropolis. Big projects had lined up. In fact, one already broke ground beside the Adams itself. The new Masonic Hall,

Town square, 1870s

built by Mason member Daniel Blackburn, would mysteriously, swiftly, merge into the Adams Block and double the magnificence. The laying of Masonic cornerstone on June 24 kicked off the biggest Jubilee the town had ever seen. The news spread from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco before the ink was dry on the official charter of the new Masonic Lodge of Paso Robles. The Masons invited one and all to their celebration of the century, saluting three momentous milestones: Spectacular edifice in the town square! Distinguished civic organization! Revolutionary steel bridge to the world beyond! Leave your pocketbooks at home. They had done the astonishing in 1887, and they did it together – all 500-some citizens and countless visitors, all the settlers nearby, and the Blackburn-James partnership that had invested in the town of Paso Robles. They gave thanks together on June 24, In the year of our Lord 1887, a salute to feats achieved by HAMMER and PLOW, FOOD and THREAD, cornerstone by cornerstone.

All those transactions put money in the town treasury of the era – the bank accounts of the civic leaders who financed the enterprises, and invested in more sophisticated facilities. Hence: A thriving marketplace. A civic group to benefit the community. A dependable bridge to the world beyond.

Bridges and Buildings (127 Years Later)

Engines of every variety have driven Paso Robles across one frontier after another. Wheat. Drought. Health spa. World War. Almonds. Depression. Global War. Expansion. Wine. Disaster. Recovery. Industries have boomed and faded as the town forged through everything from homesteads to urban renewal. But the forces of 1887 are still at work in the heart of the city. The town square is still the source of essential supplies – to meet the higher needs of humanity for relationships and enrichment. CONTINUED on page 28

1887 HISTORY from page 27 The National Trust for Historic Preservation helps the Paso Robles Main Street program care for the marketplace. Frontier town squares are fragile things in modern society, where big boxes on the outskirts supply the basic needs. The Main Street answer is... Bridges and Buildings. Same as 1887. Build connections between people, and lay cornerstones for the future. The bridge and the building are long gone, one in a flood and one to a wrecking ball. But Paso Robles is still a robust town on the frontier. With bridges to the world beyond.

One Day. One Dollar. One Big Challenge to Feed the Hungry Event Set for Friday, June 6

Hunger Awareness Day is a celebration of giving, and an affirmation of the power of doing something together, all at once. With every gift - small and large – we witness an outpouring of compassion in the form of dollars that are multiplied by a factor of ten into nutritious food. 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. Hunger Awareness Day 2014 is set for Friday, June 6, and the Food Bank is aiming for a campaign goal of $125,000. This will help to meet the ever growing demand for food assistance in our county. Carl Hansen, Chief Executive Officer, said, “We recently heard in the news that San Luis Obispo County was voted as the most desirable place to work in the country. However, 15% of

our county’s population is unemployed or has a job that does not offer benefits or wages to provide adequately for their family. Hunger Awareness Day is an opportunity for those of us who enjoy our jobs to make the lives of those struggling much better. We encourage you to help in this effort with a donation, small or large.

“For those who are struggling to provide enough food for their families, food insecurity is a reality and has many negative consequences, those of which affect children most severely. Information about the impact of hunger released by Feeding America shows that insufficient nutrition puts children at risk for illness and weakens their immune system. In San Luis Obispo County, children make up 40% of those served by the Food Bank. This information helps bring light to why we chose to adopt a formal nutrition policy in 2013, focusing our efforts into providing food that contributes to the health of families in need. One aspect of this is that last year nearly half of the 6 million pounds of food we distributed was fresh produce. Additionally 200,000 pounds of that produce was gleaned from local farms, farmer’s markets, and back yard gardens. “With our resources for free and low-cost food, we can stretch $1 into $10 worth of food.” Donors can mail checks to P.O. Box 2070, Paso Robles, CA 93447, donate online at www.slofoodbank.org, visit any Rabobank branches in the county during the month of May through June 6, or drop by the Hunger Awareness Day donation site in your community on June 6.

Local Churches join together for common worship and praise

Breaking Down Barriers

By Bill Hawk On Sunday morning June 8th at 10:30 a.m. something that likely has never happened before will take place in our beautiful downtown city park. Rather than meeting in their own locations, over 15 Christian churches all from different denominations will come together on a Sunday morning as one church. This event, sponsored by the Paso Robles Ministerial Association is a celebration of the common essential truths of Christian churches and a celebration of God’s blessings on our city in this 125th year. The organizers felt it was appropriate to hold such an event on “Pentecost”

Sunday, 50 days after Easter, the day Christian churches remember what some call “the birthday of the church” as recorded in Acts 2. “We can celebrate our unity and still appreciate our diversity” says one of the local pastors. He referred to the “Mere Christianity” as opposed to the “My Christianity” that C.S. Lewis wrote about when he said that we can respect the social necessity and value of differing Christian traditions but celebrate our commonality in Christ as opposed to our distinctives. He went on to quote Augustine as saying “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all

things, charity.” For the past several years, there have been growing signs of unity, charity and connections between various Christian churches in Paso Robles. Numerous churches serve together to staff Loaves and Fishes and Christ’s kitchen. Every January, a Week of Unity gathers Christians (both Protestant and Catholic) who earlier this year gathered at seven different churches. Recently, the National Day of Prayer was organized by the ministerial association and was supported and led by various local congregations. “Far from a spirit of competition,

local pastors in the association have a spirit of appreciation and care for one another, sharing with and regularly praying for one another and for the fruitfulness of each other’s ministry,” said Pastor Dan Katches. The service on June 8th will include leaders from every church involved with a wide range of music and liturgy. A community choir will lead part of the worship and the association has asked Pastor Don Smith to bring the message.

Surplus computers acquired by PRHS Several months ago Board Member Bausch made a connection between the District and surplus

computers and monitors that were available from the Social Security Administration,” stated Dr. Kathleen McNamara, Superintendent of Schools, PRFUSD. “The cost of this technology is the cost of picking up machines, delivering them to the Tech Center, and imaging them with District software.” A trip was made by Carl Behmer and crew to the Roseville area. The equipment included 198 computers, 215 monitors and miscellaneous peripherals. The cost to rent a truck, food & lodging for staff on the trip, gas, etc. was approximately $1,000. The approximate value of the equipment, as used-three years old, is $60,250. If the District were to buy this many computers/ monitors it would likely cost near $200,000. “Thank you Board Member Bausch for this valuable connection and to staff who took a break from their busy schedules to make the trip,” added Superintendent McNamara.

ROUND TOWN

Symphony of the Vines Fundraiser Concert By Heather Young Symphony of the Vines has finished its fourth season and will host its third annual fundraiser, “The Pops Spectacular” at Halter Ranch, 8910 Adelaida Road in Paso Robles, on Sunday, June 8 at 3 p.m. The chamber orchestra was founded by Dr. Gregory Magie, who is also the conductor, as well as a pianist and horn player, in 2010. He said he started the symphony because he saw a need in the North County for a professional classical symphony. The mission of the symphony is “to engage and enrich the audience with music and artistry of the highest caliber.” The 25 musicians, who range in age from 16 to 65 and all live in the county, are paid and rehearse four times for each concert and one to three hours a day on their own. Though the musicians are paid, the symphony is a nonprofit and operates on donations and its yearly fundraiser. The fundraiser at Halter Ranch will include G.F. Handel’s “Water Music,” and J.S. Bach’s “Double Violin Concerto.” Magie described the music as classic, “comfortable.” Last year’s event, Magie said, had 75 people in attendance and raised $10,000 for the symphony. Since

the event is held in a barn at the winery, Magie said it is a better concert to bring children to because they can play in the yard when they can’t sit still any longer. “Any age is good, but it is a classical concert, though it is not a formal, sit-down concert,” Magie said. Tickets for the fundraiser are $40 each, and sponsorship tables are $200. Tickets are available from

Matt’s Music in Templeton or Boo Boo Records in San Luis Obispo, or by calling 235-0687. To become a sponsor, contact Steve Martin at 296-2487. “It’s basically to help with our costs for the next season,” Magie said. “Musicians are paid – for this event the musicians are donating their time.” Magie himself has performance degrees from the Eastman School

County Perspective

Telescammers: There is a new wave of cell phone fraudsters on the move, as I recently discovered: “Hello? Hello? HELLO?” “Yes, is this Bruce?” Resisting the urge to say, ‘who the h**l wants to know?’ I embark on a boring lecture about how the federal Do-Not-Call registry makes the telemarketer guilty of a federal crime. They usually hang up right then. If I’m quick enough to catch the telltale delay when I pick up, I’ll play an intercept message that goes, “Telecom in New Zealand advises that the number you have called either has changed, or is no longer obtainable. Please call your international directory service.” A website, www.thephonebooth.com/intercept, has a collection of similar phone company intercept mes-

sages, if you’re interested. Homes Up: Phones are definitely ringing in Realtors’ offices. We knew county house prices were closing in on record high median prices after two years of consistent climb, but now, sales numbers are up as well. That kind of trend generally indicates a sustained housing market. After taking a price tumble during the recession, median home prices in San Luis Obispo County haven’t yet eclipsed December’s peak of $475,000, but at $450,000, they aren’t far away. Prices took a steep drop in January to just $400,000, meaning volatility was still stalking the housing market, but sales rose by 248 units or 2.5% in February, according to the California Realtor’s Association (CRA). Some good news; foreclo-

sures are down. 177 homeowners weren’t able to keep up with their mortgages in the first quarter of 2014, but that’s a sizeable 38% drop, compared to the 1st quarter of 2013. Interestingly, despite being the 6th least affordable housing market in California – only 24% of us can afford a home here – the rate of foreclosure, locally, is among the lowest in the state.

AB 2485, sponsored by local assembly member Katcho Achadjian, previously had a legal opinion that the bill might

of Music, University of Redlands, and the University of California Los Angeles, and studied conducting with Jon Robertson, Marin Alsop, Gunther Schuller, Gustav Meier and Neil Varon, and choral conducting with Donald Neuen. Magie was director of the Pasadena Lyric Opera Chorus, Walnut Creek Presbyterian Church Choir, and is currently the Chancel Choir at First Presbyterian in San Luis Obispo. With the small orchestra, the musicians are heard more – for most instruments there is only one musician – and must be more precise because they are so exposed, which, Magie said, makes the symphony enjoyable to listen to and so unique. There is one other symphony – the SLO Symphony – in the county. In addition to the concert, there will be a 50/50 drawing and silent and live auctions. “This is a major fundraiser for Symphony of the Vines,” Board of Director Steve Martin said. “It’s an opportunity to learn more about Symphony of the Vines. It’s a great orchestra. The quality of the group is just superb.” To donate to Symphony of the Vines, send a check to P.O. Box 407, Atascadero, CA 93423. not pass constitutional muster. Opponents say it gives excessive voting power to larger landowners, who could theoretically deprive small property owners of adequate groundwater. The Sierra Club wrote to Achadjian, advocating a one-person, one-vote water district. “As few as 35 of the largest landowners could sweep the 11,000 registered voters...who depend on wells for all of their water needs, and they would have no appreciable vote in the matter,” wrote Jennifer Clary, Sierra Club clean water action program associate. “One vote per acre essentially disenfranchises the residential population and tells them that their votes do not matter.” Achadjian didn’t immediately respond to the letter, but most officials who have addressed the tiered vote system in AB 2485, see the bill as a non-starter.

ROUND TOWN PERSPECTIVE from page 38

At the heart of the water district debate has been whether the ninety or so landowners who control nearly two-thirds of the Paso Robles groundwater basin area, should be able to outmuscle far more numerous smaller residential property owners, many of whom have had wells run dry during the extended drought. One-person, one-vote advocates wag their fingers at Paso Robles Agricultural Alliance for Groundwater Solutions, (PRAAGS), a group made up of many large vineyards and vintners, although they stop short of accusing them of improper influence. Intertie: As the drought worsens, county public works engineers are rushing to complete the blueprints for an extension of the Nacimiento pipeline that would provide emergency water to Morro Bay and government facilities along Highway 1. The roughly $3 million intertie project would bring surplus water from Lake Nacimiento to Santa Margarita lake, with a short extension to feed Chorro Reservoir outside the California Men’s Colony near San Luis Obispo, eventually linking all to the state water project.

The whole notion that such a project would create a more reliable water delivery system, twists on the fine thread of an assumption there would actually be surplus water in Lake Nacimiento. The lake currently sits at less than 24% of capacity, and continues to decline. Okay, let’s see: Monterey County has dibs on some Lake Nacimiento water, so will the proposed Paso Robles Basin Water district, the city of Paso Robles, rural growers and residential customers. Now San Luis Obispo wants a slice of the shrinking pie. Everyone, it seems, has been promised Nacimiento water. What could possibly go wrong? Bioblech: Actually biosolids, a term for the heavier...erm...constituents of sewage, was again discussed by San Luis Obispo County supervisors. We touched on this earlier, then carefully washed our hands, because wastewater agencies want permission to spread their leftovers on ag land. In theory, this shouldn’t be a big do – deal, excuse me – as any gardener who maintains a composting bin knows; plants love biosolids because they produce luscious, happy crops. So why the big fuss? County board members are concerned about too

much of a good thing, if that’s the right descriptor. The 2004 interim ordinance they renewed is probably the longest running interim ordinance on record, stalled from permanence by an expensive environmental impact report no one wants to pay for. There are various ways to take care of this unwanted byproduct of wastewater treatment, including cogeneration, which is a polite word for burning. Neither that idea, nor the stench it would produce are going to fly with county residents, so the interim ordinance allows limited application of 1,500 cubic yards

in a 12-month period. If you plan to add more than five cubic yards, you’ll need to tell the health department, presumably so they can measure and test it; trust me, you don’t want to draw the short straw for that job. Garden store manure bags are exempt from the ordinance, even though they contain essentially the same sort of biosolids. The next time a telemarketer calls and asks for Bruce, I’m going to say, “Sorry, this is Herb Schmerdtz and unfortunately, Bruce is deceased. He died when a telemarketing call triggered a heart attack.”

In Gary Williams’ eyes,

‘Every day is an adventure’

By Dorothy Rogers It isn’t easy to find a way to live your dream, but the Lord makes a way where there appears to be none. His life’s journey has taken many turns from a boy raised on a family farm in Washington training dogs and horses wanting only to be a cowboy to finding fun in each day in Paso Robles. Working together with his lovely wife Elissa, the couple have established a home ranch here. New aspects to the cowboy’s life include serving others through sharing music for retirement home residents plus Elissa’s experienced and untiring work with Hospice. As a contract cowboy, Gary Williams is confident and experienced while remaining humble. He takes pride in his working McNab dogs, Quarter Horses and his ability to get a job done – especially when hired to gather and transport cattle in challenging terrain like the steep slopes and ridges of the Santa Lucia coastal range. McNabs are not found just anywhere. Gary has been breeding them since the early 1970‘s. He wanted an athletic, tough dog with tight feet (without the web to hold foxtails and burrs), enough “bite” necessary to control wild cattle at the head or the heels and with short, slick hair able to tolerate our Central Coast climate. Gary sought out McNabs in both black and red that meet his working crew needs.

Contract cowboy Gary Williams and his canine crew prior to heading out to gather the coastal range.

His McNab breeding program has become much sought after. The dogs are not used to drive the cattle. Gary employs the dogs to get ahead of the cattle and hold them until he gives direction. One might think a pack of working dogs would not function in a home, but the Williams’ dogs each knows his place and are friendly to dog folks. Purebred puppies are available periodically. He sells dogs started on cattle or fully trained and stands both red and black males to outside females. Gary also fills a need with obedience training for those who have a variety of dogs in need of a basic education to become good citizens and knowledgeable owners.

Happy 125th Anniversary Paso - from Doc and his gang

His golden Palomino, “Nugget,” is substantial with bone, feet, withers and manners. Gary has trained and re-educated many horses and outside horses over the years. Often that also requires training the owners for success, too. The skills Gary has developed during his time as a cowboy, a roper, a mounted Deputy Sheriff, a ranch manager, father, foster parent, AI technician, running his own cattle and as an outfitter all have prepared him as an organized steward and a thoughtful teacher. He finally sat down long enough to record short stories, lessons and observations compiled to share with others. The stories are evidence of the real deal, but give one pause to reflect or grin. This book becomes a testimony to those who love what they do and won’t give up. Gary will tell you that the Lord has rescued him more than once. He lives as a blessed person. Visit with Gary and get your copy of Lessons From the Range autographed. Perhaps pick up one for a graduate or for Father’s Day. Don’t miss the book signing June 14 at the Pioneer Museum on Riverside from 2 to 4 p.m. Books are in stock at Farm Supply, Templeton Feed, Bucket ‘O Books, White Horse Tack and Veterinary Supply and the Pioneer Museum. As Gary and Elissa follow the future trail set before them, they experience new adventures everyday with a smile.

Local retailer unveils new name, look as it celebrates 60 years

Idler’s has thrived when most family-owned businesses struggle. After 16 presidential terms, close to as many periods of economic struggle, increased competition from big-box and e-commerce retailers and shifting demographics, Idler’s celebrates its 60th anniversary as a top competitor on the Central Coast and has rebranded as Idler’s Home. Current Idler’s patriarch, Don Idler, credits the company’s resilience and longevity to a strong family culture, great service and low prices. Started in 1954 by W.C. “Bud” Idler, Don’s dad, the company is still a family affair, involving son Bryan, daughter Jennifer, Jennifer’s husband Matt Farrell and lifelong friend Keith Rodgers. Looking ahead, the company now positions itself for future growth with a new brand: Idler’s Home – more of what you want for your home. Idler’s Home has expanded its traditionally appliance-focused showrooms to include three additional departments: a sleep center with top mattress brands, a full cabinetry and kitchen design center and an outdoor living department featuring spas and barbeques. Shawn Smith, Idler’s store manager and buyer, said, “Don and his family care about each employee. We feel like part of the family. And we’re trained

to treat clients like family.” Smith mentioned that many of Idler’s employees stay for an average of ten years or longer, making the environment even more family-like. That commitment to people drives Idler’s commitment to low prices. “With our national buying group, BrandSource, we can be ultra-competitive with big-box stores like Home Depot and Sears,” Bryan Idler said. “If they do have a better price, we will match it. It’s not just a policy; it’s a philosophy.” “The rebranding better represents what the company has become,” said Don, “but Idler’s Home is committed to improving the lives of Central Coast families and will maintain its

Local residents continue to invest in Downtown Paso Local developers Brett Van Steenwyk and Debbie Lorenz, owners of the Acorn Clock Tower Building and other downtown properties, have submitted plans to the city of Paso Robles as the Pine Street Promenade LLC for a vibrant master- planned public square with artisian marketplace, boutique hotel, offices, retail and entertainment components adjacent to the city’s historic town square park. As residents committed to the city of Paso Robles, Van Steenwyk and Lorenz saw an opportunity in developing the former Hayward Lumber Yard into a city landmark that will provide a commercial and pedestrian connection between the AMTRAK station with its adjacent retail and entertainment venues, and the central business district surrounding the downtown park area of Paso Robles.

Organic Farms Juice Bar & Bless Your Heart Specialty Baking When talking with local business

owners Steve Dagnall and Rose Hawthorne, one can’t help but think that their businesses – Organic Farms Juice Bar and Bless Your Heart Specialty Baking – are located side-byside for a reason. Both have stories of survival, have overcome health challenges, and love to share their healthy lifestyle and food with others. Rose is well-known in the local community for her gluten-free, naturallysweetened and low glycemic Bless Your Heart baked goods; most of her products are vegan or dairy-free. Her passion for creating recipes that not only taste good, but are also healthy, stems from her own diagnosis of adult diabetes. Along with her daughter Olivia and granddaughter Grace, she can be found in the kitchen mixing and baking delicious and healthy foods such as breads, crackers, energy bars, granola, cupcakes, cookies and muffins for legions of loyal customers. Dr. Carmelo Plateroti and Dr. Aracely Plateroti, owners of The Plateroti Center in Atascadero, had long desired to open up a juice bar. They met Steve Dagnall when he needed some medical advice during his recovery from malignant melanoma; that led to some cleansing, detox, and juicing. With a background in restaurant and food service, Steve and the Platerotis

decided to embark on their new business adventure about a year ago. “Steve came by one day to talk to us about what he was going to be doing and that he may open in San Luis. I said, ‘what about this place right here with me?’ Well, we both decided it was perfect,” Rose says. Now, as co-founders and owners of the Organic Farms Juice Bar, Steve and the Platerotis have struck a chord with local health-conscious individuals. They take pride in offering nutritional Acai Bowls with toppings such as hemp seeds, bee pollen, goji berries and house organic granola – a “must-try.” Steve also prepares a daily fresh salad and various quiches. And the juices, well, they’re the best – cold-pressed organic fruits and vegetables in simple, quick, convenient glass bottles. The Organic Farms Juice Bar and Bless Your Heart Specialty Baking are located at 1335 Railroad St. in Paso Robles. For more information, call the Juice Bar at (805) 239-0299 or go to www.organicfarmsjuice.com and Bless Your Heart at (805) 227-4969 or go to www.blessyourheartbaking.com.

The Voice of the Visitor Center

By Karyl Lammers Executive Director Visitor Center

The Chamber & Visitor Center have been located in the original Smith Sporting Goods Store at 1225 Park Place in downtown Paso Robles for over 20 years with little or no changes being made. We have hundreds of people, both Visitor and Local residents, walk thru our doors every month. The new Vice Chair of the Visitor Center, John Arnold (General Manager of the Holiday Inn Express in Paso Robles) had the idea to renovate the Center to keep up with the growing Visitor Industry in the North County (we are actually the only walk-in Visitor Center this side of San Luis Obispo). An Advisory Council was formed to talk about the Renovation and help us move forward. Work began on Saturday April 26th and has been moving fast and furious on Phase I (the inside) which may be completed by the time you

read this. Phase II (the outside) is close behind. Walls have been removed, moved & created. Lights replaced, new flooring and furniture acquired. The most exciting part is a large portion of both labor and materials have been donated by local businesses and much needed funds have started to come in from the community. More donations are needed to complete this exciting,

important project. The “Design” is by April Romig of Elan Vital Furniture Store, located at 1329 South Spring Street in Paso Robles. The entire look including the lights, floor, wall changes, paint colors and room arrangement are April’s

vision and it’s perfect! Contractor Jim Romig worked side by side with individuals to make April’s vision a reality. Long hours and pride of workmanship have created our new look.

We have a mix of people from different disciplines. My philosophy is that good horsemanship is good horsemanship – it doesn’t matter what tack you have on your horse.” For more information, stop by 805 Horse Tales, located at 1885 Live Oak Road in Paso Robles, call Kathy at (805) 423-4694 or go to 805HorseTales.com.

Jesse Jones helps Kathy with her stalls and general maintenance, while trainer Katrina Sanders – she prefers the title of coach – assists with students and conducts workshops and clinics. Kathy met Katrina, a Central Coast native who had been living up north for the past decade or so, about a year ago. “When I saw Katrina ride, I thought ‘this young lady is classic, poised, graceful, soft – all of the things that I strive to be as a rider; she’s the whole package,” Kathy says. Since March, Kathy has hosted monthly clinics at 805 Horse Tales. Each Thursday, a slew of riders show up to the property, ride with Katrina, work on problems, discuss horse behavior and more.
