– Dale Carnegie

H

eading into the 18th year of Paso Robles Magazine, it is a time to reflect.

Looking back on the storied — no pun intended — history of this great local publication, I want to revisit our November 2017 issue when we thanked Bob Chute for all he did for the community through the years from the founding of the magazine in 2001.

We are all truly grateful, and we are ready to turn 18 and celebrate another year of loving the remarkable Paso Robles and surrounding communities.

Much has changed since 2001. Almost 20 years of history, we are in a new era of business, and a new era of media. But the more things change, the more they stay the same. Our community loves holding something worth reading in their hands, and we love writing it. We also love connecting our community with local businesses that support and serve our great community.

Our hardworking and good living advertisers make a big difference in helping us share the best of our community with the best of our community.

It all matters, and we believe that small business is a state of mind. Everyone’s business is a big deal to those who get up and make it happen.

We share one of the great places in California, and we play host to some of the greatest travelers around the country. We are fortunate to live here, but returning to the opening line, we are also fortunate that our predecessors worked hard to make it a great place to live.

For a long time, I’ve said that if you live on the Central Coast, you are rich. It is true. Sharing those riches is our way of enjoying it to the fullest. I forget who said it … “we keep what we have only by giving it away.”

It is a blessing to enjoy this great rain, great wildflower blooms, great coastal access, great wine country, great outdoors, great people and great events.

Don’t let 2019 pass you by without getting out and enjoying our community with other great people.

Please enjoy this issue of Paso Robles Magazine.

The 12 th Annual

Hall of Fame Inducts Huff Bearcats' Coach Honored at SLO Marathon on April 28

By Millie Drum

If you have a nagging case of “style envy” to achieve the same look that home décor extraordinaire of “Fixer Uppers,” Joanna Gaines has inspired, calendar May 4 and 5 for the Three Speckled Hen Antique and Old Stuff Show at the Paso Robles Event Center.

The delightful experience showcases all things in vintage décor, antiques, primitives, artwork and on-of-a-kind customizable items.

Delight your senses and spark your imagination with new pieces combined with color, personalization and whimsical fun.

Admittedly, it’s sometimes hard to justify replacing some of your favorite home décor pieces, so why not mix in few new things for an updated look? This show is one of the top-rated shows in its industry by the most reputable antique décor and flea market trade magazines in the country.

12 | pasomagazine.com

Endearingly called “The Hens” Kathy, Carrie and Susi launched their first show in 2007 at the American Legion Hall in Templeton. The show has grown from 15 dealers and 300 shoppers to nearly 200 vendors and 4,000 shoppers. Come early and don’t worry about toting your purchases. Large items can be held in the “Pickin’s Holding Area” and crews will be on hand to help load the heavy items. Shop all day, come back for day No. 2. Do I hear “Shop til You Drop?”

A portion of their proceeds go to nonprofit organization Jack’s Helping Hand, a cause the Hens so believe in!

For early bird tickets and information,

visitthreespeckledhens.com

Mark your calendar now for the fall show – September 28 and 29.

Behind years of great success by the long distance running teams of Paso Robles High School, including State Meet appearances by the Bearcats and CIF titles, the smiling visage of coach Ivan Huff under a straw hat has moved silently among the crowds, guiding each new crop of distance runners from start to finish.

His runners graced the covers of local sports sections as they burned the packs to finish among the elite. On April 28, when the SLO Half Marathon and Relay Race completes, Huff will be lifted among the elites himself as he is inducted into the SLO Marathon Hall of Fame.

The induction ceremony will be part of the marathon awards ceremony on Sunday, April 28 beginning about 10:45 a.m.

For more info about the SLO Half Marathon, go to slomarathon.com. See the upcoming May 2019 issue of Paso Robles Magazine for our Paso People special on Coach Huff.

| San Miguel Reflections

Remembering the very first By

By Lynn Barbie Schmitz Butz

n April 27 the town of San Miguel invites everyone to join in celebrating its first major event of the year — the 28th annual Sagebrush Days Parade and Peddlers’ Faire. It’s a day of fun and festivity when downtown Mission Street rocks! The Peddlers’ Faire opens at 8 a.m. and includes wonderful hand-made items for sale until 3:30 p.m. The Lion’s Club serves a great barbecue lunch and the Native Sons and the Native Daughters of the Golden West offer ice cream treats for dessert. The Sagebrush 5K Run starts at 9 a.m., winding through town up to the school and back. Registration opens at 8:30 a.m.

The main event — the parade — steps off at 11 a.m. going south from 13th and Mission Streets, around Fr. Reginald Park and back again. You get to see both sides of the horse!

The parade had its beginning in 1990 when long-time San Miguel resident Allen Belden organized a large, enthusiastic group to plan a

16 | pasomagazine.com

parade for San Miguel which would celebrate the long history of the town. That first parade was held on April 27, 1991. Afterward, reporter Bill Dellard wrote an account of the first Sagebrush Days in the Paso Robles Daily Press. As I read his story it brought back memories of many wonderful people in San Miguel that we knew when we were growing up. The chosen day was Saturday, April 27, 1991; the site was Mission Street in downtown San Miguel. A Color Guard from Camp Roberts led the Parade. The Grand Marshal was Ernest Konecamp, 102, who rode in a beautiful antique buggy that had been in

his family since before they moved to the Bee Rock area in the 1870s. There were 37 entries.

Judges were Maggie Vandergon (who still drives her antique car in local parades), Rose Eyler Ripel, Elaine Rogers, Jeanne Miller and Lester Rougeot. The San Miguel Senior Citizens float took first place. First Place awards went to Bob Loughlin’s 1931 Model A Ford, the San Miguel Wild Bunch mounted group, adult cowboy Forest Schmidt and Jules Delwiche’s horse-drawn vehicle. Camp Roberts brought several military vehicles. Following the parade, everyone enjoyed a barbecue in the park.

C LYDE GANES Plaque in city park honors local contractor and volunteer

H

By Meagan Friberg

umble and giving, Clyde Ganes never expected anything in return for helping others; it was just part of who he was. But those who shared his life and experienced his kind, generous, and caring ways have joined forces to ensure Clyde is honored in a most appropriate manner – by installing a bronze plaque on the large barbecue grill in the Paso Robles Downtown City Park. Unveiled at a recent Rotary Club meeting, the plaque is a unique tribute to Clyde, who passed away in November of 2018.

“His motto was ‘Always Give Back’, which is on the plaque,” his wife, Joyce, said. “Clyde was one- of- a- kind and believed in dedicating himself to causes he felt were worthy. He loved to barbecue, and could be seen pulling a huge grill behind his truck to functions where he’d often cook for upwards of 1,000 people.”

Family man

Together for more than 18 years, Clyde and Joyce have four daughters – Amanda and her husband, Paul; Giselle and her husband, Paul; Kat and her husband, Simon, and Holly and her husband, Caleb. Their greatest joys include grandchildren Nathaniel, Zachary, Benjamin, Anna, Joshua, Nathan, Amelia, Jonah, Lukas, and Nena as well as their 11 great-grandchildren... with another on the way!

“We had quite a life together,” Joyce said.

“He was a wonderful husband, and he was loving, caring, and devoted to his family. We have a blended family and his love extended equally to both sides of that blend; it was really an amazing thing to watch. He delighted so much in all of the children and grandchildren.”

Clyde was one of six children born to Guy and Bertha Ganes. Preceded in death by his parents, and siblings Ruby and Don, Clyde is also survived by his sisters Betty and Phyllis, and brother Dean. He was dedicated to his extended family as well, according to Joyce; they spent many years

attending family reunions in Missouri and held a College. He loved fishing in Alaska and along reunion at their Templeton home last fall. the coast of Mexico and hunting in the mountains with his buddies...and he’d delighted in Making a difference sharing his bounty with others.

What truly drove Clyde, however, was his love His career life as a contractor was busy and fulfor helping others. From earthquake victims in filling. A graduate of the University of Redlands, Clyde oversaw the building of many homes and Sri Lanka to Boy Scouts in Paso Robles and structures in and around the Central Coast. He Captain Rollo’s Kids at Sea, he unselfishly gave was the City of Morro Bay’s Building Official of his time and resources. Together with Joyce, before serving as the City of Paso Robles’ Certi- Clyde was particularly dedicated to veterans who fied Chief Building Official and retiring in 2017. served our country and protected our freedoms.

He perhaps park-goers will stroll past Clyde’s plaque had served as the Fish and Games Fines Com- and maybe, just maybe, they will be inspired by missioner, and taught Building Codes at Cuesta his words to “Always Give Back.”

Clyde’s Work Colleagues Paint a Picture of His Professional and Personal Legacy “Clyde was my friend and mentor. He had the most beautiful handwriting and made a habit of closing letters and emails with the phrase, ‘Yours in Safety’ [and] would remind us that we are First Preventers. Clyde truly left this world better than he found it. He gave back more than he took.”

Bryan Cowen, City of Paso Robles Chief Building Official

“Clyde made such a difference in so many people’s lives; he was a friend and mentor to me. The Central Coast lost an amazing person in Clyde, but his name will live on in so many people’s hearts.”

David Muehlhausen, Atascadero City Deputy Community Development Director “We had a lot of fun joking around and laughing but, at the same time, he was teaching me building codes, how to be a good inspector and, more importantly, the power of being good to others, showing compassion, and the joy of helping citizens with their projects.”

Charlie Moloney

“I loved how passionate he was about so many things —– his family and friends, cooking, hunting, his dogs. Clyde was more than just a boss, he was family. He was an incredible man.”

Lori Wilson “Clyde was a trusted, honest, and generous friend and colleague. His generosity was deep and sincere.”

Susan DeCarli “I know without a doubt that Heaven has not only gained another angel, but also now has the best homemade beef jerky and a smile that can light up any room. I think Clyde touched everyone whose path he crossed. I know I’m better because of him and will never forget my Papa Clyde.”

Kristy Buxkemper “He is and always will be sorely missed. I do find it miraculous that he is somehow able to comfort us still, through memories and laughter.”

WILDFLOWERS IN SLO COUNTY

Late rains will cause a later bloom this season

By Heather YoungBy Heather Young

W

ith the heavy rains the Central Coast has seen, the landscape has become very green and the wildflower season this year is expected to be epic. In 2017, we received almost 30 inches and the blooms off Shell Creek Road and Carrizo Plains were both amazing. This year will not be one to miss, and we hope you get out and enjoy. The blooms rush in, and begin to die off after a few weeks so don’t miss your chance.

According to the Theodore Payne Foundation for Wildflowers and Native Plants, the wildflower season is expected to be a good one, but with some challenges that could affect getting to the flowers. As of March 1, some trails, roads and highways were closed due to water erosion, rock slides and subsequent damage. The foundation posts a wildflower update every Friday on its website at theodorepayne.org. You can also call 818-768-1802 ext. 7 for updates.

SOME ETIQUETTE FOR VISITING AND PHOTOGRAPHING WILDFLOWERS: - Stay off private land - Don’t travel down closed public roads - Don’t trample the wildflowers - Don’t take nature with you, which includes picking wildflowers

At the Bureau of Land Management’s Carrizo Plain National Monument, wildflowers have not yet bloomed as of early March because parts of the Carrizo Plain were still covered in snow. The bureau is encouraging the public to leave no trace when they visit the wildflowers. That means not leaving trash or food behind.

Typically, wildflower season is from midMarch to the first week of May, but that is

20 | The Story of Us

with the area getting significant rainfall by mid-February. The county received a great deal of rain —and snow in some parts — in mid-March again year, so that could result in a late wildflower season.

Before planning a trip to Carrizo Plain National Monument, the Bureau of Land Management encourages visitors to call the automated hotline at 805-475-2035 to check conditions.

WHERE TO FIND WILDFLOWERS While there are places that usually have large amounts of wildflowers year after year, those same areas sometimes have fewer flowers.. A lot of that has to do with the rainfall that year. During heavy drought years, there were fewer abundant fields of wildflowers.

Heading to more rural areas, such as the Carrizo Plain or somewhere between there and the 101, you’ll see more. That has a lot to do with the number of people who wander among the flowers.

Some other popular places in San Luis Obispo County to see wildflowers include: - Shell Creek off Highway 58 east of Santa Margarita - Whale Rock Reservoir - See Canyon Road - Montaña de Oro State Park

BORROWED & BLEU

By Azurae SimoneShults Smith

appy Spring! With the start of a new wedding season upon us, we are starting a new chapter of this column as well!

Here on the Central Coast most of us industry professionals consider the bulk of March through November as prime wedding season.

With April already here, there will be more and more guests in town, hotel rooms filling up and tables reserved at our local restaurants.

Most brides at this point in the process have checked the major planning items off their list:

Venue • Catering • Photographer • Florist • Rentals • Cake & Dessert • Hair & Makeup • Shuttles •

The invites are in the mail, the responses are trickling in, and now it’s time to start confirming the final details of your wedding day. But here’s the catch: if you haven’t already contracted with a coordinator you might be in bad shape.

There are so many details that coordinators handle as the day takes shape. It’s difficult to take that all on by yourself — you need information and direction. One detail in particular seems to get overlooked when brides don’t work closely with a coordinator — gratuities!

I always try to educate my clients about the importance of tipping properly for all of their wedding services. Let me clear up the air on this subject.

Gratuities are a tricky and often uncomfortable subject. I hope that this information will make you feel confident in your decisions and shed some light on an often overlooked part of wedding planning.

WHO DO YOU TIP?

As a general rule of thumb, I encourage clients to tip as many of their dedicated vendors as possible. It’s important to wait until the end of the wedding or even the week after to hand off your tips, just to make sure they did a great job, much like a restaurant. You don’t tip the waitress before the meal right? Weddings are a service- and hospitality-based industry so your experience should be complete before you hand out your gratuities. If you can tip all of your vendors, that’s amazing. But if your funds are limited after planning a big wedding then

22 | The Story of Us

for your BIG DAY! Here are some recommended gratuity ranges if 15-20 percent doesn’t work for you.

Delivery & lighting crews: $20-$40 per person on the delivery team Baker: $100-$150 Bartenders: If no tip jar was allowed during the wedding then plan on tipping them $3-4/ guest. If a tip jar was allowed, then a flat rate of $100-$200 per bartender is appropriate.

Photographer & Videographer: $200-$400 each Florist: If your florist is providing a full-service installation of your floral décor, staying to organize and distribute personal flowers and then returning at the end of the event to help break everything down, then they definitely warrant a great tip. I recommend $300-$500 for your florist to share with their team.

DJ or musicians: $200-$400 is a great gesture for a DJ. Live musicians/bands sometimes have several members performing so you should consider tipping each of them $100-$150.

Photo booth attendant: $50-$100 Venue manager: $100-$150 Hair & Make up team: $150- $200/stylist Coordinator: Day-of coordinators should receive $200-$400, partial planning $400-$600, full service $600-plus.

I recommend tipping your onsite vendors first.

These are the people who worked the long hours, did the heavy lifting and interacted with your guests. Although we love our behind-thescenes vendors too, I feel the onsite vendors take priority. These vendors would include; catering staff, bartenders, photographer, videographer, florist, DJ or musicians, photo booth attendant, I always recommend placing cash or checks venue manager, hair and makeup artists and in labeled envelopes for each of your vendors. coordinator.

The next layer of vendors to tip would be your Give your coordinator instructions to distribute the envelopes at the end of the event or to baker, delivery crews and lighting teams. send them out to everyone the Monday after the wedding.

HOW MUCH No matter how you peel the apple back, tipSHOULD YOU TIP? ping is very subjective. If you follow these basic There’s a ton of confusion surrounding how much to tip and whether some vendors include recommendations you will have a much easier gratuity automatically. There are some great time deciding who and how much to tip! resources available online that you can use for reference. However, I have found that a lot of online opinions come from larger markets with much larger wedding budgets. Similar to how you tip in a restaurant, considering a 1520 percent gratuity for all of your vendors is a very nice gesture. That’s not always feasible so I HAVE A WEDDING QUESTION ? would recommend working your way through Email me at hello@cielbleuevents.com the list of onsite vendors to see how much love Azurae Shults | Ciel Bleu Event Design you can spread around. www.cielbleuevents.com

RED PANDA Experience

opens at CHARLES PADDOCK ZOO

By Tonya Strickland

A

fter being under construction for what felt like forever, the Thelma Vetter Red Panda Experience is now open. And thank goodness, because those little cinnamon-tufted mammals are our favorite! Red pandas are raccoon-sized animals that munch bamboo and, in the wild, live in trees in the foothills of the Himalayas. Located next to the tiger exhibit, the new area is home to three red pandas, each about 2 years old. A zoo volunteer told us they’re brothers named Yeren and Ping-Jing from the Philadelphia Zoo; and another male named Pabu, from the Denver Zoo. The trio has lots of twisty branches to climb on, all stretched across this impressively roomy new exhibit’s ground floor, providing us a nice area to watch them. Fiveyear-old Clara told me she liked the three spots to spy on the red pandas: two covered viewing towers and a bridge between them.

The kids especially loved running back and forth across that bridge like the wild banshees they are.

Follow a densely bamboo-lined walkway, and you’ll find a separate

mini-exhibit for the surprisingly colorful black-naped fruit dove and chipper laughing thrush bird (and I think some other types of cool birds) in a caged area.

After exiting, head north and there’s a surprise second entrance to see the red pandas from a low-level viewing area behind a glass wall. It’s a super cool spot that puts you up close with the animals. Honestly, the whole place has a great immersed-in-nature vibe with few physical barriers.

And that’s by design. The exhibit launches the zoo’s new biodiversity hotspot theme that will one day showcase the Earth’s five most biologically-rich habitats on the verge of extinction, zoo director Alan Baker said. The red panda exhibit represents the Indo-Burma hotspot from Southeast Asia.

The Chinese muntjac (looks like a small deer) and Asian brown tortoise are among the other animals who join the red pandas in this hotspot. Menderu, the zoo’s

existing Malayan tiger, is also part of the hotspot but he stays in his old exhibit.

Except… he’s super curious about his new red panda neighbors and it’s hilarious to watch.

We even saw him creepin’ a peek of them from the top of his exhibit wall.

The zoo, located at 9100 Morro Road in Atascadero, is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and beginning April 1, the hours extend daily to 5 p.m.

Applause Children’s Theater gets $1,000

grant from KSBY Nonprofit will put on production of Annie in May

By Heather Young

pplause Children’s Theater, a nonprofit located in Paso Robles, was one of five Central Coast organizations to receive grants from KSBY and its partners — Halpin Leadership Industries, The Manse on Marsh and Idler’s Home — in its annual Your Favorite Charity contest. A total of 76 nominations were received —the most ever — and the nominations were paired down to 21 by a panel of judges. From those 21 organizations, the public had a period of time to vote for their favorite nonprofits.

At the beginning of March, KSBY announced the awardees: Grand prize winner of $10,000: Family Care Network Winners of $1,000 each: Applause Children’s Theater, Royal Family Kids Camp of Santa

Barbara, Pacific Wildlife Care and Jack’s Helping Hand. “We were really excited [getting the award and] being a young nonprofit,” Applause Children’s Theater founder and director Vikki Mullin said, adding that the award will go toward the organization’s next production, which will take place in May. Mullin started the nonprofit in 2016 and the first show, Wizard

of Oz, took place in 2017. The show in 2018 was Peter Pan and this year’s is Annie Jr. “The premise of [Applause Children’s Theater] is that all children are stars,” Mullen said.

“All children that register for auditions are automatically cast in the play. Auditions are for me to cast the leads.” The children who are a part of the theater are in the first grade through high school.

“My goal is to have them on stage as much as possible,” Mullin said, adding that she double casts the leads, so that more children are able to learn what it means to be a lead actor. She splits the number of show that the actor is the lead.

While there were 58 kids in the first production, the 2018 and 2019 productions have 80 children.

The upcoming production of Annie Jr. will take place Friday, May 3 and 10 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, May 4 and 11 at 1 and 6 p.m. at Flamson Middle Schools. Tickets are $15 each. Mullin said the organization is looking for more sponsors

The two actresses playing Annie in “Annie Jr.” are Emma Vogelpohl and Alyssa Wesley

for Annie Jr. “It’s couldn’t be done without the support of the community,” she said. Tickets are available on EventBrite.com and search for “Applause Children’s Theater.”

Returns with two events in 2019

By Heather Young

T

he Paso Robles Art in the Park festival, sponsored exclusively by Castoro Cellars, will return to the Paso Robles Downtown City Park for two weekends in 2019: April 13 and 14 and Oct. 19 and 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. While the art festival — called Paso Robles ArtFest and put on by Studios on the Park — has been happening in the park for many years, 2018 was the first year that Steve Powers, the man behind Morro Bay Art in the Park, took over and renamed the event.

“I think it’s really good that Steve Powers took [over the art festival in Paso Robles] and made it a really good show,” said Julie Dunn, artist and co-owner of Park Street Gal-

lery in Paso Robles. “I’m on a mission to build [an art] movement [in Paso Robles]. That’s why I’m glad Steve has done what he’s done.”

Paso Robles Art in the Park saw 100 exhibitors in 2018, and Powers expects the event to grow to 150 exhibitors over time.

Powers said there will be 135 exhibitors at the April event representing independent artists and craft workers from around the county, state and country.

“A couple of years ago I was on the internet and saw that Studios on the Park that ran ArtFest [wasn’t going to do it any longer],” Powers said. “I contacted the city of Paso Robles and told them I could produce a two-day show and it would not cost them a penny.”

After getting approval from the city, Powers got to work on planning his first art festival in Paso Robles. While the Morro Bay Art in the Park events are three days

over holiday weekends — Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day, the Paso Robles events will take place in April and October for the weather.

“The weather was a deciding factor in moving the event earlier,” Powers said. “Memorial Day weekend is too hot. Last year we had great weather.”

Due to the constraints of the park in Morro Bay, the Paso Robles Art in the Park event is able to have a third more vendors.

“We have expanded the event,” Powers said. “We’re taking up the entire eastern side of the event. It’s like a little village.”

He said that the Morro Bay show sees 6,000 people over the three-day event. Before the 2018 event, Powers said he expected the Paso Robles show to see 3,000 people per day. Over the two days, he said there were about 6,000 to 7,000 people.

“Paso Robles is used to just one day events in the park,” Powers said.

“This year I think we’ll be much busier on Sunday.”

Dunn represented her downtown Paso Robles gallery at the Paso Robles Art in the Park at the event in 2018 and will do so again this month. She and her business partner, Peggy Turk, take a sampling of the work in their 1320 Park Street gallery. They sell work from the booth and the gallery is also open for attendees to see more work from their artists.

“For people who enjoy going to an art festival, they should come out,” Dunn said. “A lot of the artists are local. You’re supporting locals.”

Dunn added that she likes how Powers encourages people to not only attend the art event but to also visit downtown businesses.

April 5 in Atascadero as the only JOY PLAYGROUND Opens fully accessible playground in the county

By Heather Young

Joy Playground, located near Colony Park Community Center in Atascadero, opens April 5 at 4 p.m.

The project began in 2013 when special needs moms Sarah Sullivan and Jenelle Allen took the idea to Atascadero City Council and were met by enthusiastic support.

“Parents in wheelchairs can finally get on [a] playground with their

kids,” Parents for Joy board member Geoff Auslen said, adding that even those in wheelchairs can get on the swings. “That’s what inclusive means — it’s for everyone.”

Despite setbacks, the group will keep its promise to open the playground within a year of breaking ground, which happened May 2018.

The playground will be fenced

in so those prone to elopement are safe, and will feature ramps to allow wheelchairs to access the equipment.

“One thing about this project, unlike any other project, [is that] we have to be 100 percent right because it’s 100 percent ADA,” Auslen said.

“There’s no room for error. Everything has to be absolutely precise.”

Parents For Joy will host a

Atascadero-wide yard sale on Saturday, April 13 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

They are still raising money to cover a bridge loan they received in order to open the park. Go to gofundme.com/parentsforjoyatascadero for more information.

To learn more about the playground

or to donate, visit ParentsforJoy.org.

Reliable Power.

Performance you can trust!

WINE 4 PAWS CELEBRATING 11 YEARS RUNNING APRIL 6 & 7

By Chuck Desmond

A

fter the thankfully and deliciously-wet winter we've had, man-oh-man, it's just time to be outside and enjoy our patios and barbecues. And in the North County, there's nothing that goes better with those than our favorite wines. It's probably time to restock the depleted wine closet and get out for some tastings, plus revisit our favorite wineries as well as the new ones that have sprung up.

That, fellow wine-buffs, brings us to Wine 4 Paws.

Paso folks Sarah Tomasetti, her husband Steve and some friends were enjoying wine in their back yard with their dogs chasing around and getting in on the fun… but without the wine! Eventually, the conversation got around to figuring out that they could combine both pets and wine.

“Let's do something good for the community and have fun too.”

Win-win.

With the Tomasettis' drive, the idea of enlisting wineries to be the backbone of raising funds to support the cause became a reality. While we love our own pets, the wineries are also ga-ga over them. Tasting rooms

have cats up in window baskets with maybe one eye open and a tail moving just enough to let us know they are real; all breeds of hounds, from sloppy-deep-woofed droolers to back flipping little-guys have their tails-a-waggin'. Tasting room visitors just seem to love 'em.

To not know Wine 4 Paws, you'd have to have spent the past 10 years in a cave or ya just moved here. Y'all know it's just NorthCounty-chic to have a rescue dog or two sleepin' on the porch or a few cats curled up in the sun. It's part of what makes us Central Coastites. We also know that not every dog and cat is in an ideal situation.

However WOODS HUMANE SOCIETY helps protect homeless pets… and that doesn't come for free. Fundraisers are a primary source of curing those financial ills and Wine 4 Paws is a major helper, bringing wine enthusiasts, wineries and pet lovers together in one of the most fun ways ever… and this is the 11th straight year of doing it! Buying wine is something we're gonna do anyway, so do it during Wine 4 Paws weekend to help support this important work.

With a dozen volunteers, the April weekend event has gained

both notoriety and fundraising awareness. On average, about $40,000 is raised each year! Funds are used for food, bedding, vet services, adoption marketing, spay/ neuter services and keepin' the electricity on. In addition, WOODS recently opened the first North County low-cost spay 'n' neuter clinic for cats and dogs that any pet owner can use. See spayslocounty.org.

This year, just short of 100 wineries, plus Olivas do Oro Olive Oil Company, Earth and Fire Brewery, Milestone Tavern in San Luis Obispo, and Jeffry's Wine Country BBQ have signed on to help.

Tackitt Family Vineyards and Venteux Vineyards have specialty crafted and named wines this year just for the occasion! Everyone's support makes Wine 4 Paws a fabulous total-community-involvement fundraiser.

Hands up and sing praises, we finally have our nice weather. Load your friends into the SUV and go wine tasting. Stock up for your tritip barbecues and buy your wine this weekend. It's good for you, the local economy and fabulous help for our community's pets!

Here's how it works: The participating wineries and sponsors

donate a portion of their sales-proceeds to Wine 4 Paws during the weekend. Donation jars on wine-tasting counters collect funds that go for the cause.

Beginning at 5 p.m. on Friday, April 6, “Bark After Dark” kicks off the fundraising weekend with select downtown wineries and Jeffry's donating 10 percent of all sales!

There will be live music, food, a photo contest and wine by the glass.

Print out your own wine destination map from the website or get one at the first tasting room you visit. Help generate a donation and have your passport stamped. At the end of the weekend, turn it in and become eligible for prizes and certificates.

If you'd like to have your own Wine 4 Paws shirt, a coffee mug or a variety of dog items, log onto CafePress.com/Wine4Paws and you'll see the entire collection of souvenirs to order.

Thank you to the Tomasettis and crew for their tireless work to help those who can't help themselves! Let's drink, woof, meow and raise a paw to them!

Warbirds, Wings & Wheels 11 Promises More Fun for the Whole Family

By Nicholas Mattson

W

hirling like the blades of a UH1D chopper, the crew at Estrella Warbirds Museum is getting the grounds ready for the biggest event of the year — the Warbirds, Wings, and Wheels 11 — coming May 11.

Event coordinator Carol Verstuyft is looking forward to another great year with new features and entertainment.

STUNTMASTERS BMX One of the new big draws will be a BMX show by StuntMasters. On the ground and in the air, BMX stars will show off what bicycle freestyle is all about, with riders hitting a 40foot impact jump ramp.

“Their purpose is to get kids off their cell phones and out of their game box to get outside doing activities,” Carol said, “and the guy heading it up is from Paso Robles.”

The StuntMasters are headed up by John Parker, a Paso Robles native who has 25 years of contest and show experience from around the world, including a decade of X Games competition, 2 MTV Sports and Music Festival wins, a Gravity Games gold medal, and a Guinness World Record.

The StuntMasters will entertain with an interactive experience to turn “positive thoughts into purposeful action.”

Alongside the BMX stunts, there is the Kid Zone with bounce houses, face painting and more for a great time for all ages.

30 | The Story of Us

CAR SHOW & SWAPMEET For the gear heads and shoppers, the swap meet opens at 7 a.m., with 100 spaces to fill — and filling fast — but with 10 acres next door now available for use by the museum, parking is not a problem.

“There is expanded car participant parking and expanded spectator parking,” Carol said.

“If Mother Nature keeps cooperating as she is right now, all of it will be road base so we can extend the parking there.”

The comfortable surface area around the museum will be filled with swap meet vendors, and a parade of vehicles in the car show. Last year, a record number of car show entries made it the biggest event on the grounds.

CACKLEFEST & CHROME Adding to the event, the Cacklefest will be back to rip and roar with six or seven frontend dragsters showing off high-octane engineering. Bring your earplugs!

Among the car show beauties, engine-building expert Bill Maropulos will bring a handmade hot rod for display, along with many locals breaking out their chrome for the first great weather in months.

FOOD & DRINK Food and drink will be on hand with Firestone Walker pouring 805 beer and vendors providing fresh grub while Monte Mills and his Lucky Horseshoe Band plays their signature old-style barn guitar and fiddle.

FRIDAY NIGHT BARN DANCE & DINNER If you just can’t wait, get there on Friday night and enjoy dinner and a dance. On May 10, treat mom to an early Mother’s Day gift.

Get your tickets online at ewarbirds.org today.

Tickets are $35 per person, $245 for a table of eight and $315 for a table of 10.

REGISTER TODAY There are still available spots for the car show and swap meet.

For the swap meet, contact John Spooner at 831-238-1278 or swapmeet@ewarbirds.org.

For car show vehicle registration, event tickets, or more information, go to ewarbirds.org.

ESTRELLA WARBIRDS MUSEUM The Estrella Warbirds Museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with several buildings filled with amazing artifacts from every decade of American military.

Education and the Arts |

North County Schools Celebrate the Arts James J. Brescia Ed.D.

“ The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.”

County Superintendent of Schools

T

hroughout my career as a teacher, school administrator, college instructor, and superintendent I have been told that arts education in schools is a luxury.

I have watched arts programming reduced to make more time for standardized testing, as part of budget cuts, or sometimes because of the lack of qualified instructors.

There are decades of published research data reporting on the critical need to provide arts integration in our schools. Some of the titles include: “Teachers are using theater and dance to teach math — and it's working,” or “Arts-Based Education Will Power the Creative Economy.”

Bringing together reading and

Michelangelo

the dramatic arts, local North County Read Across America Celebrations were held recently in each of our school districts, schools, and child care centers. Several schools throughout the North County invited me to share some of my favorite books such as “Green Eggs and Ham” or “Huevos Verdes con Jamón.” One of my favorite Seuss quotes that is reflective of the arts is about inspiring inner potential.

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” Dr. Seuss is reminding students, families, teachers, and the community that we all have something unique to offer the world and we need to empower everyone’s talents. When

I enter our classrooms in the North County the dedicated teachers, staff, administrators, and community volunteers foster the untapped talents of our youth through the arts, agriculture, Skills USA, and Career & Technical Education programs.

I am pleased to report that Studios on the Park in Paso Robles, Vina Robles in Paso Robles, Opera SLO, Symphony of the Vines, and the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art are working with our office to support arts in North County schools. Over the summer space for all North County schools will be provided at Studios on the Park to display student art. The San Luis Obispo Museum of Art is currently sponsoring the “Awakenings” art

program featuring young artists across the county. Opera SLO is providing dozens of art outreaches to thousands of students throughout San Luis Obispo County with a focus on the North County. Symphony of the Vines provides fully sponsored student tickets to any concert in the North County. Additionally, the San Luis Obispo County Office of Education's Visual and Performing Arts Coordinator, Brent Mosser is linking arts-based organizations with our schools and providing support for the arts. The people of the North County make this area such a special place to live, work, and raise a family. I am proud to serve as your county superintendent of schools and to promote the arts.

Hands-on experience and quality education. This is career and technical education at its finest.

cPhee’s Grill is the perfect choice for our April edition of entrée! Ian McPhee and his team are celebrating their 25th Anniversary of serving locals and visitors to the Central Coast at the iconic restaurant in Templeton…and we couldn’t wait to join in the celebration!

Ian, a self-taught chef, opened McPhee’s Grill in 1994 after managing, owning, and cooking at restaurants along the Central Coast including the former Ian’s in Cambria.

Commenting on the longevity of McPhee’s, he said, “I just love being here, creating food, being with these people; this is my thing. That’s the key; because it’s not work, it’s a lifestyle.”

We asked Jessica Main, Templeton Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, to spend time with us and she was thrilled…apparently McPhee’s is her favorite restaurant.

Truly, anyone who has dined at McPhee’s…and if you haven’t, get on over there right now…appreciates the restaurant motto, “dedicated to great food and great service.”

32 | The Story of Us

After being seated at a lovely table overlooking Main Street, we indulged in an amazing lunch with friends!

APPETIZERS

Our attentive server, Dian, delivered a basket of breads ready to be dipped in olive oil and red wine vinegar, a plate of fresh olives, the RU Nuts Pizza, and a platter of Chicken Shitake Mushroom Lettuce Tacos.

Like many of the menu offerings, these two choices are perfect as appetizers to share before the main course or as an individual meal.

Meagan’s Favorite: R U Nuts Pizza – pistachio pesto, basil, Italian sausage from Alle-Pia in Atascadero, mozzarella, pecorino. “Jessica and I are gluten-free diners, so it was wonderful to enjoy this pizza with a special-order crust. The four-cheese blend, including fresh mozzarella and pecorino, delivers a pop of flavor. And the sauce? Amazing!

The unique pistachio pesto with basil, garlic, olive oil, pistachios, and lemon zest is unique and simply fantastic.”

ENTREES

We sampled the Macadamia Crusted Salmon, Baby Back Ribs, Jambalaya Pasta, and Grilled Swordfish Tostada. All were delicious, and the large portion sizes had us asking for to-go boxes!

Nic’s Favorite: Macadamia Crusted Salmon – fresh salmon served with a ginger sesame vinaigrette, spicy cucumbers, and Asian slaw (cilantro, onions, two cabbages).

“I love this; it’s light, crispy outside with a perfect topping of fresh ginger.

The salmon itself, well buttery soft is about as literal and descriptive as it gets.

The ginger sesame vinaigrette provides additional flavor and sauce if you need it, but honestly for me, I can go all day with it naked as served. Delicious.”

Jessica’s Favorite: Baby Back Ribs – grass-fed pork, house-made sauce, cooked in oven and finished on oak pit barbeque. “This is my favorite dish on the menu. The barbecue sauce is the perfect amount of sweet and savory to compliment the juicy, fall-offthe-bone baby back pork rib meat. Ian serves these two ways: with the Ku Fu Asian Rib sauce on the appetizer menu, and on the lunch and dinner menu with his signature barbecue sauce, perfectly cooked crispy shoestring fries and seasonal veggies.”

Meagan’s Favorite: Grilled Swordfish Tostada – fresh swordfish, mango, chipotle & avocado salsas, citrus slaw, black beans & rice.

“I love the presentation of this dish, so fun and unique. And the flavors? It’s like a kaleidoscope of sweet, spicy, mild – this dish has it all. The fish was tender, and perfectly seasoned and grilled.

The slaw with the lemon cumin vinaigrette really packs a punch. The rice, with bits of pistachio nuts and golden raisins, is the ideal companion. I will definitely order this again.”

DESSERT

We ended our lunch with a special treat – Ian’s new, house-made Salted Chocolate Caramel Ice Cream. Yum! “We are making all of our own ice creams now,” he said, “and when you taste the creaminess, well, those other ice creams don’t stand a chance. It’s so delicious; it’s pure love!” That’s an understatement – it was everyone’s favorite!

Ian sources from many local vendors and families, and he was doing farm-to-table long before it was all the buzz. The lunch and dinner menus are filled with favorites – try the oak grilled burgers, salads, barbecued pork sandwich, 2-bone pork chop – and there are daily specials.

Ian said, “Everything on this menu, and every wine on my wine list, is something I would want to eat or drink. Period.”

“I just love what I do; I’m a lucky person,” Ian said. “I don’t think I’ll ever retire. I still love coming to this restaurant, getting in the kitchen, and being part of this wonderful adventure.”

Our special thanks to the entire team at McPhee’s Grill.

Congratulations on 25 years of dedication to great food and great service.

Here’s to 25 more!

Stop by and see see Ian and the team at McPhee’s Grilland tell them you saw their story in COLONY Magazine!

hen Templeton Fire Department isn’t responding to emergencies, they’re supporting the mission of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to find a cure for cancer.

For six years, the department has partnered with more than 2,000 firefighters from 26 U.S. states and seven countries to climb Seattle’s 788-foot-high Columbia Center, the second-tallest building west of the Mississippi. The LLS Firefighter Stairclimb, held on March 10, symbolizes the perseverance of those who have fought various forms of cancers.

Templeton’s eight participating firefighters included Team Captain Brandon Wall, who serves as the California Ambassador, Phillip Goldbloom, Jeff Tomlinson, Haustin Morrison, William White, first-time climbers Kurt Mann, Marcus Smith and Brendan Thoele, plus ten firefighters from Cal Fire and three more from San Luis Obispo Fire Department.

The annual flower sale at Templeton’s firehouse in February brought in $15,000 and netted $8,000, all of which is donated to fund cancer research. For the event, all firefighters personally fund their own expenses, including airfare and accommodations.

In 2018, the Templeton Fire Department raised $18,788 and increased its total this year to $21,661.

“We trained for months in full gear two or three times a week,” Brandon said. “Cardio work and climbing at a steady pace are key to making it.”

Despite the mild weather, temperatures in the stairwell soared as firefighters in full structural turnout gear converged in a timed ascent of 69 flights. The act of consuming a full air bottle alone has been compared to running two miles without a break.

“It’s the largest ‘on-air’ competition,” Brandon said. “It can be hot, anywhere from 80 and 90 degrees. We got water poured down our backs just to keep cool.

Brandon’s wife, JoAnn Wall, served as bottle changer to keep everyone oxygenated.

“Not only do we benefit from the camaraderie

within our fire department, but with firefighters from throughout the world,” she said. “As a team, we climbed for North County resident Stephanie Rothbauer who is fighting Acute Myeloid Leukemia.”

The firefighters also climbed in memory and honor of retired Fire Captain Mike Erb, longtime Administrative Secretary Celeste English, Fire Chaplin Richard Burch, “Team Maddy” Gonzalez and others in the community.

At age 44, this is Brandon’s sixth year in Seattle.

“I climbed for my sister-in-law, Ann Marie Woods, who got cancer and beat it,” Brandon said. “I’ll do this until I can’t do it anymore.”

Toad Creek Watershed and Cannabis Contention

By Mark Diaz

Once again a large portion of the Templeton Area Advisory Group (TAAG) monthly meeting revolved around cannabis outcroppings in the township.

Citizens stepped forward to discuss the proposed Gardner/ McAllister project at 6480 A York Mountain Road. Those who commented vehemently opposed the development for a variety of reasons

that included the skunk-like smell produced by the plants and the destruction of a “designated scenic view” with tall fences and security lighting. All in all, those protesting stated that the project is not compatible with the neighborhood.

After an hour of deliberation and discussion, the council voted to 4 to 0 with Dr. Bruce Jones abstaining on the motion to reverse the previous action of recommending the Gardner/McAllister project to the San Luis

Obispo County Board of Supervisors.

Audrey Weichert from the Upper Salinas-Las Tablas Resource Conservation District gave a presentation about the organization’s efforts to protect and inform the public about the Toad Creek Watershed. The nonprofit, located at 65 S Main St #107, Templeton, provides services and education to landowners supporting their management and stewardship of soil, water and natural resources, according to their website.

RCD created the Toad Creek Watershed Stewards Certification Program that encourages business and landowners to take a self-evaluation survey on water conservation and stormwater mitigation on their properties. The program awards good stewards with a yard sign featuring the program’s logo, recognition on RCD’s website as well as receiving educational materials to help spread the word. For more information, visit us-ltrcd.org to take the survey.

| Hoofbeat & Trail Tales

By Bec Braitling

I

’ve been working on perfecting a few things this winter. Firstly, learning to dodge the constant barrage of powerful storms repeatedly pounding the central coast in 2019. Secondly, when I don’t manage to avoid the rain, lasting the day outside working highly spirited horses whilst changing out jackets at least 8 times. Thirdly, I’ve been reminded yet again that horses really like the rain, and despite my best efforts to provide a nice warm stall for them, inevitably I’ll come out and everyone is standing in the pouring rain anyway. It’s sure been a wet start to the year and I’m hopeful our lakes and water catchment areas are benefiting from the above average rainfall. Along with excessive amounts of rain in California come a few challenges for horse owners, particularly when it comes to maintaining good hoof health.

Everyday I arrive at the barn and pray everyone still has shoes on before I wrestle the mud out of everyone’s feet and stain my hands and clothes with any number of anti thrush products. Looking forward to sunny days ahead!

Trailer S afety

Driving along the 101 last week I was yet again reminded how dangerous trailering horses is. Some roadwork along a freeway entrance caused a near miss and resulted in one of the horses ending up in a very dangerous situation in the trailer. One of my favorite ‘must haves’ is the EquiMedic USA First Aid Kit. It’s a perfect size to store in the trailer

and is stocked full of super helpful products to assist in side of the road emergencies. Another one of my favorites are trailer cameras, there’s a few cost effective models on the market that link straight to your smartphone for quick monitoring. Don’t forget to check your tires, especially after the winter months when trailers aren’t in use as much. One investment I made over the winter was to install an air compressor on the truck, so I can deal with tire troubles a little faster when I have a trailer full of impatient horses. It’s often hard too rely on gas stations or truck stops to have the right tools so an extra long hose that reaches my trailer tires and a portable tire gauge has proven super helpful. Traveling with horses can be stressful so hitting the road well prepared is a must.

Vo l u n t e e r i n g

The equestrian community relies heavily on volunteers, from trail maintenance to running horse shows, pony club, crisis management situations such as fires and floods through to rescues and shelters. Spare time is hard to come by so if you ever have the chance to get out there and give a little time, please give it some thought. There’s plenty of organizations on the central coast needing a little extra manpower right now.

“We want everyone who enters our doors to experience a feeling of being at home among family and friends,” Administrator Jennifer Jimenez said. “In fact, that’s our motto: A Heavenly Home — Where Our Home is Your Home.”

Since 2014, Jennifer and her husband Marco have welcomed those in need of assisted living to A Heavenly Home , located just off Highway 46 East and Golden Hill Road in Paso Robles.

Those doors include A Heavenly Home’s sister location, Harvest Senior Living, located just a few miles away, as well as their newest addition — a community of homes situated adjacent to the original facility.

The sites maintain a ratio of one caregiver for every three residents, unlike other facilities that may have one caregiver to 10, 15, or even 20 residents.

The new community consists of four six-bedroom homes, a community center, gardens and walkways, putting green, hair and nail salon, and more.

Thomas Hall CBD hosts Grand Opening

A

partnership between Randall Thomas and Ernest and Grace Hall, owners of Dubs Green Garden, opened Thomas Hall CBD, in March, and will host a grand opening on Saturday, April 20.

The storefront at 1401 Park St. #2 in Paso Robles is clean and bright, which Grace said is part of the company brand for a product they look to provide to people for a variety of ails.

“There is a great need for CBD [Cannabidiol] products for people,” Grace said, “but many CBD products are available in areas where information and background are not presented in a professional way. We wanted to have a nice venue for people to come to.”

Cannabinoids — CBD1 & CBD2 — exist naturally in the body, and taking CBD helps replenish, restore and maintain a regular constant flow of CBD traveling through your mind and body on a schedule.

CBD is promoted as a remedy for a dozen issues, from “arthritis, fibromyalgia, depression, insomnia, cancer, autism,” Thomas said.

The television in the storefront runs a feed of informational videos about the science behind CBD, and sources from YouTube and other video feeds full of information about the growing industry.

“There are many types of delivery,” Director of Operations and Marketing Abdul Ford said, “from tincture, edibles, topicals, vaporizors, and water.”

Products for pets, are touted to help with separation anxiety, fear of fireworks and thunder, and arthritis.

The industry is still getting on its feet, and Thomas Hall CBD is open to educate those interested in knowing more about CBD. “It’s a good alternative if you are looking for a natural alternative,” Grace said.

Give Yourself a Different Kind of Spring Break!

When you think of self-care and aromatherapy, you might think of a spa or a vacation on a sandy beach. What we are seeing more of is a focus on wellness that’s integrated into our day-to-day lives. Like on a Tuesday, when you’re late for carpool and you forgot your wallet and you’re out of stamps. How to be more mindful then? Lots of books have been written on this subject. We carry some, but we also have a host of smallbatch goods that give us instant help with mindfulness. Here are a few goodies that we at General Store have been using and loving: 1. Green Lotus Oils Aromatherapy Sprays • For the team at Green Lotus, essential oil blends not only smell beautiful, they also protect from stress and act as a reminder to make healthy choices. From “Alert & Focus” to “Hot Flash Help,” we sneak over for a little spritz whenever we can.

2. Botanica 805 Atmosphere Mist • Marissa at Botanica 805 was inspired by a love for all natural goods that aim to support whole living.

Her hand-crafted products are made in small batches, are packaged in recycled glass, and are free of parabens, dyes and colorants. These are room sprays, intended for a space, not your body. We’re partial to the Lemongrass & Peppermint in the office when you’re feeling a little sluggish.

PS: They also make a divine bath salt — and it’s all made in Morro Bay. 3. LUA Calming Face Oil • It doesn’t hurt that LUA’s natural bath and body products are so cheerfully packaged they just make you feel good holding them in your hand. Several of us are using either this deliciously scented Calming Face Oil or their Eye Beam Oil that reduces puffiness and relaxes tired eyes.

4. Fat & The Moon — Everything They Make • We have carried this natural apothecary line since day one, and chances are you’ll catch one of us wearing their natural deodorant or tinted lip stain on any given day. We’re especially excited about the Babies Moon Salve, a scent- and petroleum-free healing balm that can be used for diaper rash, to moisturize, or for a cut or scrape.

Whether you’re hitting the road or nestling in at home this Spring break, maybe give yourself a different kind of break. We’re happy to help!

CELEBRATE APRIL AT STUDIOS ON THE PARK

EXPERIENCE THE BIG LITTLE ART SHOW, WORKSHOPS, CLASSES, AND MORE

By Meagan Friberg

Wine will be available for $8 per glass.

Participating artists will utilize the element of size by creating original, two, and three-dimensional works of art in all mediums measuring 12”x12” or smaller, or 36”x36” or larger, but nothing in between. In this dynamic exhibition, artists are encouraged to play with scale as a key component in the composition of artwork.

“We hope people will come with no preconceived idea about the reasons for this show,” Lyon said. “It’s just the Big and Little of it… there’s no middle. So, this eliminates most of the pieces you would have seen in other exhibits.”

Art sales from exhibitions such as “The Big Little Art Show” also serve as fundraisers for essential arts services to more than 100,000 students, families and visitors annually. Among the many essential program and outreach efforts made possible is Kids Art Smart, a Studios on the Park exclusive that provides free visual arts programming for thousands of local students, from kindergarten through high school.

It’s true – size really does matter! Just ask the artists participating in Studios on the Park’s “The Big Little Art Show,” on view in the Atrium Gallery throughout April. Founding Resident Artist and Professional Watercolorist Judy Lyon is the guest curator for this exciting exhibition featuring works, very small and very large, that will explore the myriad of ways scale affects the perception of art.

“In this show, an artist might present an idea on a small scale, and also in a dramatically larger interpretation, which presents unexpected challenges,” Lyon said. “Large, imposing images usually make a sudden impact — all-encompassing, at least momentarily — but little jewels quietly beacon to you and pull you in, maybe even intertwine with your heart and brain.”

The opening reception of the exhibit will take place Saturday, April 6 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the monthly “Art After Dark” event. This free evening of art, wine, and music will feature wines from Rava NEW ARTISTS, WORKSHOPS, AND CLASSES Wines and Brophy Clark Cellars and live music In addition to viewing “The Big Little Art Show,” by award-winning singer/songwriter Ynana Rose. be sure to stop by and say hi to two of the newest

artists, Elizabeth Kilimnik and Joyce Bauerle, resident printmakers who recently settled into Studio 13. The open studio concept at Studios on the Park is inviting, educational, and just plain fun… so make time to say hi to all of the resident artists when you’re downtown.

As always, there are several exceptional classes and workshops scheduled this month, including: STILL LIFE OIL PAINTING WORKSHOP with Elio Camacho • April 13-14 • 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

CHARCUTERIE 101 WORKSHOP with Zest It Up • April 19 • 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Choosing a Family Pet Caring for Pets

and their People!

By Ann Stacker, DVM

A

pet in the household can be very enjoyable and rewarding — and the many benefits for the owners are well-documented — but it does require thoughtful consideration and commitment.

When you think you are ready for a pet, choose one that fits into your family lifestyle and living space. Obviously, apartment living is not suitable for giant breed dogs; whereas, small dogs can fit in quite well. Cats are another good choice for small homes, as are “exotic” pets such as birds, fish, reptiles and “pocket pets” if you lack a yard or have allergies.

It’s also important to consider the level of care required for each type of pet and the age-appropriateness for

46 | pasomagazine.com

the main caregiver. Most people have experience with cats and dogs but need to educate themselves if they decide on another species; be sure everyone knows what they are getting into. Your veterinarian can often provide information on exotic pets and let you know if they see them, as some do not.

Pet ownership is a responsibility that also requires a financial commitment: beyond providing the basics such as food, water and shelter, most pets have additional needs and will require some level of veterinary care throughout their lives to keep them healthy and to treat them when they are not well. Cats and dogs need wellness care including vaccinations, parasite prevention and spay or neuter surgery — as well as preventative dentistry and senior care as they age.

Typically, the more unusual the pet, the more unique are their re-

quirements, including specialized medical care as may be necessary.

Rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice and hamsters need specific diets, bedding, cages and sometimes exercise equipment. Birds and reptiles may have even more specialized needs for diets, nutritional supplements, unique housing and possibly temperature control. With all pets, you should also consider their possible training, grooming, daycare or boarding needs. And, of course, almost all our furry and feathered friends need appropriate toys!

As a small animal veterinarian for nearly 40 years, I have seen every kind of creature, from tarantulas and tortoises to toy poodles and tabby cats.

I have found that the most frequent and serious problems are with nutri-

tion and husbandry (which means proper care, feeding, and generally providing a safe, suitable environment for the pet to thrive).

Finally, to make the right choice, you need to know about the pet’s unique characteristics by species and/or breed. Are they shy or people-oriented, “childproof ”, very active, noisy, messy, easily trained and socialized, how long will they live, how big will they get?

Again, your veterinarian can provide helpful advice for your particular circumstance but the bottom line is, do your homework!

Whatever you decide pets can provide that “unconditional love” that we humans crave as well as enrich our lives in countless ways — and caring for them teaches responsibility and caring for all the natural world.
