YVONNE MAZZOTTA publisher

APRIL 2017

All that rain has made for an abundantly gorgeous spring - and isn’t that just the loveliest metaphor for life? Happy kids are the heart of a healthy community, and the Tulare County Child Abuse Prevention Council provides resources to ensure that children are safe, loved and nurtured. We all play a role, and we’ll tell you how you can pitch in. Have you been sitting on a dream? Leila Garrett may inspire you to dust it right off and share it with the world. Her Willow and Fig Leather Company outfits stylish youngsters with one-of-a-kind moccasins and purses, and she’s loving the opportunity to share her creativity. For Visalia native Ted Nunes, creativity comes in the form of music. The front man for local band Richfield (and occasional thespian) writes music daily, and his band has built an impressive following. Then, step back in history with us — way, way back — and enjoy the Tulare County Renaissance Fair, where you can play medieval games, browse the wares of talented craftspeople, dig into an enormous turkey leg and watch a jousting battle unfold. Speaking of history, the Kingsburg Train Depot has a rich one, and the Friends of the Historic Kingsburg Depot are ensuring that it’s not forgotten. It’s been restored to a historic 1923 configuration, and it’s a fun place to explore. ‘Tis the season for spring cleaning, and we’ll give you some tips for refreshing your home, from curb to closet. Minor investments can pay big dividends. And once your project is done, treat yourself to a delightful little morsel from Crumb and Get ‘Em Cupcakes. S’mores cupcakes? Take our money! Wishing you a bright and beautiful spring. Enjoy!

come to life

T U D O R L I F E AT T H E T U L A R E CO U N T Y R E N A I S S A N C E FA I R THE TULARE COUNTY Renaissance Fair is coming to town, and the first thing we need to do is throw out the stereotypes. If you thought this two-day fair was just for people dressing up in medieval armor and renaissance garb, well, you’d be wrong: It’s for people dressing up in late Tudor era armor and garb, to be exact. Randy Smith, vice president of the Guild of St. Mortimer, the nonprofit that organizes the fair, clarifies: “The timeframe of our fair is at the end of the House of Tudors, with Elizabeth I, which basically runs from 1558 to 1603.” In other words, this Renaissance Fair isn’t the place to brush up on your Middle English, which went out of style around of the turn of the 15th century, and ladies should leave their barbettes at home, because that fashion statement was so 13th century. Actually, says Smith, “nobody has to dress up to enjoy the fair, and anybody coming from the outside can dress up as they want.” So if you want to arrive in Samurai armor from the Edo period, then more power to you. But expect stares, because that would be weird. As for the guilds that help transform Plaza Park into a living, breathing market of late Tudor life, its members must take the period standard of dress and decorum very seriously.4 continued on page 8

“Every year we take a different theme within the years of the late Tudor era, and we try and provide some reenactment according to that particular year. Everybody tries to stick to that era, and to provide educational opportunities to talk to people who come through the fair,” explains Smith. “The guilds are there to participate and provide as much information to the public as they desire, so we encourage everybody who attends to stop in and talk to them.” Essentially, the Tulare County Renaissance Fair is history come to life, but a lot more fun than reading a textbook. Guild members run booths where fairgoers can learn to shoot a bow or play medieval games. Food vendors sell turkey legs larger than a child’s forearm, while other craftsmen sell their wares such as jewelry, soap, clothing and other handmade goods. Think of the fair as the original DIY makers market, a way to network before social media. Guild members mostly keep in character, which can create for some unusual crowd interaction. “Usually we have a guild that runs around and issues arrest warrants,” explains Smith. “You can purchase an arrest warrant for somebody, and they’ll put them in the stock or they’ll give them a drubbing, which is putting them on a rack, then pouring water over them. “We also provide battle reenactments and a joust every year, twice a day. It’s prolonged jousting, and the jousters we hire are part of the international jousting association,” says Smith. “These are real live hits they’re taking, and there’s banter between the queen and jousters,” he adds, referring to the fair’s official queen, who has reigned since it began 28 years ago. “We try to keep it as fun and period as possible.” As for the local organizers, the Guild of St. Mortimer, “we’re kind of a misfit band of people,” says Smith. “So we’re peasants generally, and we dress as peasants: baggy pants and shirts, nothing too fancy. We enjoy playing kids’ games, and that’s what our guild promotes at other venues, because we also support other fairs throughout the state.” At the Tulare County Renaissance Fair, however, members of the Guild of St. Mortimer will be running staff and security, so they’ll be dressed in civilian clothes to identify them as such. The only potential risk at this renaissance fair, he says, should be having too much fun, or maybe being sucked into buying a suit of armor. Smith admits he was a convert to these kinds of fairs, and he gets why people might think it’s just for nerds. He chuckles, “We get them all the time, even the hardest-core people that I’ve seen dragged along by their wife or somebody else, and who didn’t really want to be a part of it. But once they get inside and actually start going around and experience everything, they get into it. I’ve yet to find somebody who hasn’t enjoyed themselves once they’ve been in.” •

G E T T I N G C R E AT I V E W I T H C R U M B A N D G E T ‘ E M C U P C A K E S WHO NEEDS A BRICK AND MORTAR when you’ve got batter and frosting? At least that’s what Jennifer Kenyon thought when she started her at-home business, Crumb and Get ‘Em Cupcakes. “There are so many great bakeries out there doing it, so why do something that’s already being done?” asks Kenyon, who procured a Cottage License in Fresno County, allowing her to bake and sell out of her home. Kenyon has baked most her life, though never out of control. Her mother baked, but probably no more than most mothers. “But I love creating warm environments, and I like bringing people together,” she explains, accounting for her hobby. “The best way to bring people together is with food. I mean, it’s easy to invite somebody over when you have cake.” Hospitality seems to come naturally for Kenyon, who worked as the event coordinator for Downtown Fresno Partnership. Even now that she bakes full time, “at heart I’m still an event planner,” she says.

10 www.EnjoySouthValley.com APRIL 2017

The real break through – or, ahem, bake through – came about three years ago when she began experimenting with cupcake recipes. “I started because my mother-in-law gave me a calendar for Christmas” that included a different cupcake recipe every month, Kenyon says. Soon she began creating and combining her own flavors. It began as a hobby, but soon people were asking for her cupcakes, so Kenyon came up with a business name, then a logo, and soon “I had a business,” she says with a laugh. “I got sucked into it.” At first, Kenyon probably had bitten off more of the muffin than she could chew. Working from home is a convenience, “but now my kitchen has become a bakery. Like twenty-four seven.” But as any recipe would call for proper balance, Kenyon is discovering the balance between hosting guests at home and rearranging the kitchen’s industrial equipment.

“MY WHOLE BUSINESS IS TO BE ABLE TO CREATE JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG ADULTS IN LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS.”

Of course, everybody wants a cupcake, Kenyon laughs. “Friends come over and are like, ‘Oh, I came by to say hi, but do you have a cupcake?’” And her husband? Well, he’s just as bad. Kenyon writes his name on cupcakes to let him know which he can eat and which to leave alone. Still, Kenyon maintains a high output of cupcakes despite the many eager friends and family who are willing to take them off her hands. “The largest event I did was 500 cupcakes, and that was actually the first big order that I got as a business,” says Kenyon. “It was challenging because I had to figure out how to transport 500 cupcakes, and I only have one oven and one refrigerator, and I had just become a cottage license business.” “So I woke up really, really early at about 2 am.” Kenyon laughs now, admitting she had baked maybe only a couple dozen cupcakes for previous orders. Any baker knows the secret ingredient to baking is precision, and over the last three years, Kenyon has gained the experience to perfect her cupcakes down to a science. Which is somewhat ironic, since she says, “I’m not a cake person. I don’t really care for cupcakes, which is weird because I make them all the time.” She rarely eats her own goods, except when experimenting with new flavors and recipes, which she’s exploring all the time. One of Kenyon’s most popular creations is her s’mores cupcake, baked with Campfire Stout beer and topped with chocolate and marshmallow frosting, including a graham cracker bottom. “I go for creative flavors,” she adds, having partnered with local businesses like Tioga Sequoia Brewery and Lanna Coffee Roasters.

“I like to work with different local businesses to create cupcakes for them.” For the launch party of Tioga Sequoia’s Midnight Mocha Beer, she baked cupcakes using the new draft, and she also created cupcakes using Lanna’s cold brew coffee. More than working with other businesses, Kenyon wants her business to work within the community. Crumb and Get ‘Em recently won a Spark Tank award for social enterprise, given to businesses that have social impact. “My whole business is to be able to create job opportunities and internship opportunities for young adults in low-income neighborhoods,” she explains. “I live in Lowell neighborhood in Fresno, and I really like working with high school students, 16- to 21-year-olds. I want to create outlets, job opportunities for them, whether it’s baking or selling. I want to create an environment where young people are welcomed, where they can learn, and know that they are valued.” While nothing says I value you quite like the gift of a cupcake, the social impact of Crumb and Get ‘Em might just take the cake. Yes, Kenyon’s cupcakes are sweet, but not as sweet as the influence she is having on the lives of youth in her community. • Crumb and Get ‘Em Cupcakes www.crumbandgetemcupcakes.com Find them on Facebook & Instagram

W I L LO W & F I G ’ S L E I L A G A R R E T T SIMPLY PUT, Leila Garrett describes Willow and Fig Leather Company as leather goods for children, especially moccasins and purses. While her business really began to take off in June 2013, she started about a year earlier by attempting to make bows. “But I never sold any,” she says with a laugh. In 2012, Garrett submitted her daughter for a modeling job with Petunia Pickle Bottom, which required making an Instagram account. It was her first time on the social media platform, and Garrett began following people who were advertising and selling their own DIY products. She decided she would try to make some extra money by making and selling bows. “So I opened up an Etsy shop and I literally sold zero bows.” Though Garrett’s foray into bow making quickly came untied, she still discovered the DIY world of social media, where a pair of moccasins had caught her eye. With a price tag of $65, she decided she could make her own. “So I bought an old leather jacket from a garage sale, took it apart and made some moccasins for my daughter. I had scoured the Internet for some basic baby-type shoe patterns, and from that I manipulated it. I had no clue what I was doing,” admits Garrett, who practiced using felt before using the leather pattern. Her first pair of moccasins, “well, they looked like crud.” She still posted a photo on Instagram, and through hashtags people began contacting her, asking if she would make more. After about 10 offers, the thought must have crossed her mind: I’m going to need to get more jackets. 4 continued on page 14

In 2012, Garrett sold her first moccasins for $20 a pair, saying she couldn’t sell them for more with a good conscience. “It just kind of started from there,” she adds. “So where am I going to get the leather to make this, and where can I get brown suede?” Garrett had no clue where to start. “I actually messed up by ordering whatever brown suede I could find online,” a gnarly, stiff material that she couldn’t even use. So she drove to the fabric district in Los Angeles where she bought a box of scraps for around 10 bucks a pound. “I had this huge bag, I think it cost me $120, and from that first bag I think I made my first year’s worth of moccasins,” says Garrett. “The first year was all mistakes,” she continues, full of learning curves like how to work with leather, finalize a pattern and pick the right material. “Also, working with leather on a regular sewing machine is not a good idea,” she stresses. The last step was branding, creating a logo and choosing the name of her business. She wanted to create a name that meant something to her, so she used her children’s nicknames. Her son was always long and lanky, “like a willow tree,” says Garrett, and her baby daughter, “I always called her my little fig.” Willow and Fig. As business picked up, and Garrett put the final touches on her patterns, “things just kind of got out of hand.” She was also working as fulltime nurse, taking care of two children, and making moccasins between 10 o’clock at night and 2 in the morning. “I was just getting sick all the time. I had to close down for three months. So I tweaked my pattern to make it look more professional and I developed a plan where I would make collections ahead of time,” says Garrett, in order to have stock on hand.

14 www.EnjoySouthValley.com APRIL 2017

At the recommendation of friends, she also adjusted her prices. “Now they sell for $35 on my website,” she says, though retail stores in the valley mark up her products. Garrett is a one-woman leather-making crew. “I have to cut all the leather, I have to paint all the leather,” she says. In 2014, she even expanded her collection to include purses, which is where she really gets creative. “They actually outsell my moccasins,” she says. These colorful purses are both seasonal and culturally relevant, like holiday inspired purses that are colored and shaped into unique patterns. She created a collection of Ziggy Stardust purses, as well as fantastic creatures like unicorns and trolls, animals like owls and foxes, and more classic and streamlined styles. Willow and Fig Leather Company currently offers purses and moccasins, but if the arc of Garrett’s career has taught her anything, it’s not to count out that she might expand her collections to include other patterns and products. Anyway, with social media these days, there are plenty opportunities to find inspiration, and followers to ask you to create some new design. • Willow and Fig Leather Company www.willowandfigleatherco.com Find them on Facebook & Instagram

OST MUSICIANS start young. They usually grow up around music, and maybe had parents who could play multiple instruments, or perhaps they could hold a guitar before they learned to walk. Most musicians start young, but then not everybody marches to the same beat. Visalia native Ted Nunes, 40, began playing music later in life, but he’s made up for lost time. According to the prolific singer-songwriter and front man for local band Richfield, the trick is to write music daily. “I started playing music at 18, and have been writing ever since I got a guitar,” he explains. “And I wasn’t trying to write the perfect song every time. If you write a song every day, then out of a month you’ll have a couple good ones. Just keep writing and writing and writing.” It wasn’t that Nunes didn’t like music; he just had other areas of interest growing up. “At the time, I was playing sports and I was athletic, so that was the focus,” he says. “It’s funny because when I look back on it, there were telltale signs that I was interested in music too, from being 6 years old and putting on concerts in the bedroom with my brothers and sisters (I was Peter Criss playing the drums). And I

have memories of putting on Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ and listening to it over and over and over again, nonstop for probably five hours.” There were other signs that suggested Nunes would branch out beyond sports. “I started writing poetry in high school,” he says, and he had close friends who also played music. “I had just never thought about learning the guitar.” Nunes began listening to The Grateful Dead, which led to musicians like Jimmy Hendrix and the Allman Brothers, but it was “through the Grateful Dead that I discovered all the singer-songwriters like Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan,” he says. It wasn’t until he first experienced live music that things began to click for Nunes, when he realized, “Oh, I get it now. The local musicians are the musicians of tomorrow.” From that moment, says Nunes, “it just kind of made sense to start writing songs.” The love of music and writing poetry culminated with his first guitar, and by his 21st year, Nunes was writing songs almost daily. He played his first concert “backing up a buddy at the old Jail House” – now Jack and Charlie’s – “mostly playing old cover songs.” Nunes may have started playing covers – and he still does, though it “goes in waves” – but he’s added a repertoire of original songs. In fact, he laughs, “now I’ve got so many songs that I’ll play for a couple hours, originals and covers, that over the years I’ve probably forgotten more songs than I can play live. It’s an occupational hazard, I guess.” While he continues to write and play music, Nunes also recently turned to another artistic outlet: acting. “I’ve actually started doing theater. I’m currently playing Will Rogers in ‘Will Rogers Follies’ with the Good Company Players,” says Nunes. “I was at a point, March of last year, that I was writing and I wanted a little bit of a break, a mental shift, and I thought maybe it’s a good time to try some theater.

“So I’ve made the connection between music and theater,” he continues. “I always loved acting and art, and I always watch people when they act, and I’m always dissecting and analyzing it. So getting up there now on stage doesn’t feel awkward.” In fact, Nunes was surprised to find similarities between acting and performing music. “Like when playing a solo,” says Nunes, “you have to disconnect a little bit. You have to mentally go into space and feel the pulse of what’s happening. When you’re on stage with other actors, you do the exact same thing.” After his performance as Will Rogers, Nunes will perform in “Stage Door,” which opens April 27 at Fresno’s 2nd Space Theatre. Nunes describes it as “a really cool show set in the 1930s about aspiring young actresses living in a boarding house. I play one of the producers who comes in and either saves or puts a wrench in everybody’s plans.” Though Nunes has been getting his kicks on stage as an actor, he admits he’s getting the itch to start writing again. “I actually recorded about 12 songs with the band before I started doing theater. I haven’t released it yet, and I’ve just been sitting on it,” he says, though he’s considering putting something together. If you don’t catch Nunes on stage, you can still find him behind his guitar every Wednesday and Sunday night from 9 to 11 pm at Goldstein’s in Fresno’s Power District. “It’s become like a regular gig for me, even though I’ve taken a little bit of a break,” he says. • Ted Nunes Music www.richfield.bandcamp.com • Find him on Facebook & Instagram

Party YO U R O W N LO W MAINTENANCE LANDSCAPING

LET’S FACE IT. People tend to shop with their eyes first. The same sentiment holds true when considering the purchase of a new home. And while the inside features of a home may draw potential buyers, the landscape may be the very thing that seals the deal. With all of the rain California has had in the last year, it’s been said that we are officially out of our seemingly-perpetual drought. But that doesn’t mean everyone feels up to the time, effort and money involved with maintaining a park-like landscape in their yard. Follow along for a few low-maintenance ways to make the outside of your home shine.

POTTED PLANTS – A good garden bed is lovely to behold, but can be difficult to maintain in that pristine “I-deserve-a-feature-in-BetterHomes-and-Gardens” kind of way. Investing in some decorative pots – those on stands or those that hang – allows potential buyers to determine their own level of comfort where landscape maintenance is concerned. If they love the plants, they can keep them. If they don’t, it won’t require a huge overhaul to restructure the look. Opt for pots in various sizes and display them at different heights in odd number groupings for added dimension. DROUGHT-RESISTANT PLANTS – Your yard doesn’t have to house 100-year-old oaks or a myriad of fruit trees to be remarkably beautiful. Succulents and cacti are not only on trend right now, but are the perfect options for cutting down on water usage and maintenance. While they can be a bit expensive initially, these lowmaintenance garden buddies are sure to enchant visitors and potential buyers alike. Group them together with other succulents to create a bit of natural whimsy. 4 continued on page 22

A VEGETABLE GARDEN – This isn’t as low-maintenance as some of the other options, but should you choose to invest in some greenery for your yard, this is one way to make it count for more than mere eye candy. There is something magical about growing your own fruit, vegetables and herbs – for both adults and children. Not only does it promote healthy eating, but it’s often a sweet bonding ritual for families – something you can all work on together. And because fruit, vegetable and herb gardens grow seasonally, you can choose what to grow and when – leaving you downtime when you need it most. Build a wooden garden bed (or several smaller wooden boxes throughout the yard, based on the sun/shade needs of each plant) to house your favorites. They’ll give you a place to return to each year during the planting season. PAVERS – This might be one of the easiest ways to give your yard a lift without employing your green-thumb. The shape, size, color and arrangement of pavers can help reduce the need for grass while adding style to the space. Loose sand, wood chips or moss are lovely ways to fill the spaces between them. A DECK – Wood or concrete, small or sprawling, a nice deck is a lovely way to usurp space in a beautiful way, without any water required. A covered patio can serve as an extension of your home, complete with comfortable seating (think couches with throw pillows, covered in outdoor fabric), lighting, a dining table and even a kitchenette/bar hybrid. Your home is sure to become the “it” gathering place for family and friends. YARD ART – There is nothing that says a yard is required to have a huge amount of green to make it stellar. Consider strategic placement of a beautiful stone fountain or a piece of metal sculpture as the focal point of your outdoor sanctuary. Old wagon wheels or rustic farming equipment displayed prominently can be wonderful, creative conversation starters. A wooden arbor – with or without trailing ivy, honeysuckle or night-blooming jasmine - adds a touch of enchantment to an outdoor space. A ZEN GARDEN – Sometimes, less is more. A zen garden, with sparse greenery, rocks, sand and wood chips, is certainly evidence of that. Designate a space in your yard for your place of peace and seek out some plants that make your heart happy. Be sure to leave space for a stone bench, a piece of sculpture and a small rake to shift the sand around with. Having a place to breathe in a busy world is a worthy investment of time, space and resources. •

OUR HOUSE H OW TO R E F R E S H YO U R H O M E L I K E A B O S S

THE SEASON FOR SPRING CLEANING seems to have arrived in record time this year. It’s the time when we are all a bit more inspired to refresh our lives in every possible facet, particularly where our humble abodes are concerned. Perhaps it’s the impending summer – often the busiest period for selling a home – that has us oh, so inspired. Whether you are looking for some refreshing upgrades to give your home the upper hand in a competitive selling market or you are looking for some sweet modifications to enjoy with your loved ones in your forever home, we have a few suggestions to help get the ball rolling. CURB APPEAL The first thing anyone notices when approaching a home is what is commonly referred to as “curb appeal.” It includes any details that can be noticed from the front of the house, townhouse, duplex or apartment and it’s a crucial point of engagement for potential buyers and visitors alike.

• Give your home’s exterior a fresh coat of paint – and don’t forget the trim. Neutral colors are best here. No one wants to contend with purple trim on a home – including neighbors or potential buyers.

• Consider painting your front door if it looks aged. Spray-paint the metal fixtures with a matte black paint for a look that is generally more well-received than shiny gold or silver embellishments.

• Be sure all siding is in place and the garage door is level. These tiny details make a huge difference.

• Make sure your lawn and garden beds are wellmanicured. The weed whacker and edger are your friends. 4 continued on page 26

• Upgrade the street address numbers on your home. Make sure they are visible from the street.

APRIL 2017 www.EnjoySouthValley.com 25

ORGANIZATION Less is definitely more when trying to woo potential buyers. If you need to, consider renting a storage unit to make sure that your garage isn’t stuffed to the gills. Buyers need to see what they are working with in there, too. • De-clutter the house. Get rid of any unnecessary items, including storage boxes and furniture items that leave a room feeling too crowded. Aside from giving yourself and potential buyers some mental space (and getting some packing done early for your impending move), your home will actually appear larger with less stuff – and more space is a huge selling point in today’s market. • Remove as many personal items from the home as possible when trying to sell your home. Box up family photos, personalized artwork, mail, shoes that linger near the door, or anything else that doesn’t leave the home looking like a nearly blank canvas for the buyer to create with. The more the buyer can envision their own stuff in your space, the more likely they are to connect with it. • Stage your furniture in ways that best showcase the room, keeping in mind where big items like flat-screened televisions and stereo systems fit best with regard to outlets and wiring. • Bid Fido adieu while potential buyers are taking the grand tour. An allergy-prone buyer may head for the hills at the first sign of a tuft of dog or cat hair in the corner. Have four-legged family members stay with a loved one. Clear away the litter box and food and water dishes.

BIG BANGS FOR YOUR BUCK There are a few low-cost, high-impact things you can do to make your home more appealing. A little bit of vision and elbow grease goes a long way. • Clean, neutrally painted walls without wallpaper are a huge selling point. Sure, you may love the idea of covering your walls in every color of the rainbow, but buyers may not be so keen on having to paint the whole house back to a more neutral palate before Moving Day. Keep the color consistent throughout the house. Bonus: Lightcolored walls can make a room appear larger.

• It’s a given that hardwood floors are one of the most desirable features when buying (or living in) a home. If you have them in your home, you are already winning. Just make sure they are free from scratches and scuffs and are freshly swept, waxed and buffed. • Tile flooring is another desirable option. Be sure the grout is cleaned to perfection and that any cracked or broken tiles are replaced before a potential buyer visits. • No hardwood or tile floors? No problem. A nice wood laminate is a good option for less financial output. Just be sure there are no spaces in between the slats. It’ll instantly cheapen the look if it’s not done properly. • Got carpet and can’t afford to replace it with wood flooring or laminate? It’s not a deal breaker. Have it professionally cleaned to perfection. If you have major stains that don’t come out with cleaning, you may need to bite the bullet and consider replacing it with new carpet or another flooring option. • Shed some light on things with a few new lighting fixtures where they count most – over a dining table, in the kitchen or over the vanity. A word to the wise: do not show buyers anything you don’t plan to leave in place once the sale is complete. Your great grandmother’s chandelier may look fabulous over the vanity, but it could be a turnoff to a potential buyer if you pulled the plug on it and took it with you. 4 continued on page 28 26 www.EnjoySouthValley.com APRIL 2017

SMALL UPGRADES FOR HIGH-INTEREST AREAS Kitchens and bathrooms are incredibly important to potential buyers. While some upgrading may be necessary, don’t break the bank on a complete kitchen or bathroom remodel. Consider these small but mighty fixes instead. • Fresh, matching kitchen appliances and coordinating fixtures in a bathroom are a nice way to catch a potential buyer’s eye. If you are not planning to include the appliances or fixtures, make it clear to the potential buyer up front. • Freshly painted cabinetry is a highly effective way to refresh the look of a kitchen or bathroom without having to install new ones. Neutrality where color is concerned is key. Upgrade knobs and hinges to create uniformity and cohesiveness. • Install new faucets whenever possible. It’s a relatively inexpensive way to change the look of the kitchen or bathroom without a complete overhaul. Be sure they coordinate with the hardware on the cabinetry or any appliances. • Caulk the sinks. It’s incredible what a difference this can make in giving a kitchen or bathroom a new lease on life. • Scrub any grout on counters and backsplashes to ensure all dirt and food remnants haven’t left a trace.

EFFICIENCY In the day and age where energy costs alone could usurp a large part of a monthly family budget, making sure your home meets the highest efficiency standards is a huge benefit to you or a potential buyer. • Dual-paned windows keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Invest in the replacement of any single-paned windows. It’ll be worth it whether you stay in your home or sell it. • Consider replacing any appliances that are not energy efficient. Dishwashers, washers, dryers and water heaters are some of the biggest culprits where energy usage is concerned. • Clean all air ducts and replace vents to create the most effective usage of the home’s heating and air conditioning systems. This is also the best way to prevent allergens from making their way into the ventilation system. NECESSARY REPAIRS Eliminate the need for a potential buyer to worry about impending repairs by doing a preemptive strike in those areas of high concern. Nothing kills a buyer’s interest quicker than the thought of having to make repairs as soon as escrow closes. • Make sure the roof is in good shape. It’s the very first place inspectors look for potential damage. A damaged roof is likely to be a huge deterrent for a potential buyer. At the very least, a roof that isn’t up to snuff may encourage a potential buyer to lowball an offer with the knowledge that a major repair is soon to follow. • Clean, paint and align the gutters on your home. This is another area of concern for potential buyers because improper drainage can lead to water damage and mold in or around a home. • Be sure the chimney is properly cleaned and vented, if your home has one. Soot is messy and poor ventilation could create a fire hazard. • Have a professional check all of the plumbing in the home before putting it on the market. It’s the best way to make sure it’s fair to the potential buyer and protect yourself from any liability at the same time. •

S AV I N G T H E K I N G S B U R G T R A I N D E P OT

THE HISTORY OF the Kingsburg Train Depot dates back more than 100 years, starting with the 1888 Monson Depot getting moved to Kingsburg from Tulare County. In 1923, it underwent major updates after suffering damages from a fire and became a transportation hub for the valley until the 1980s. It stood abandoned for years until the nonprofit Friends of the Historic Kingsburg Depot (“Friends”) was formed to preserve the Historic Kingsburg Southern Pacific Railroad Depot. “I first got interested in preserving the depot in 1984,” says Larry Esau, CEO of Friends. Many railroads and depots were getting torn down all over the state, so he took action. “I had three favorite places when I was a boy. The other two were already torn down, so I had to save it,” he said. The nonprofit got the deed to the property and started building in 2005, a decade-long project of extensive remodeling. More than 16,000 hours of volunteer labor, a private fundraising campaign, a federal grant and the hard work of the people hired to rebuild it finally came to life. It was returned to a historic 1923 configuration. Although it is not a running depot, the train still rolls pass the tracks; it has an active mainline between Bakersfield and Sacramento. 4 continued on page 32

APRIL 2017 www.EnjoySouthValley.com 31

“The trains come by every 20 minutes,” he says. “Visitors, especially children, like to wave to engineers.” The authentic appearance, furnishings and artifacts include a telegraph, the only form of communication back then. Visitors get a sense of what it would have been like to be in the depot in the 1920s. “Everyone here wears clothes and talks lingo from that era because 1923 was the last year they made significant changes to the depot,” Esau says. The depot was the center of activity for more than 100 years, and served as the bedrock and foundation of economy. Goods were moved by train. All the products that were shipped went through the railroad at that time. “It is a time machine. You step back from another day in history,” he says. “It is a very interesting place that helps you understand your past and family.” Friends’ mission is to discover, preserve and make known the history and importance of the 1872 San Joaquin Valley Line of the Central Pacific Railroad. It is also to maintain and operate the depot site as an educational center to benefit children of the San Joaquin Valley. Shirley Esau has also been involved since the beginning (when her husband, Larry, helped start the project). She took over the education piece, and is now in charge of the history tours and scheduling as well as overseeing education about how it changed the valley. The depot gives living history tours to preschoolers through fifth graders. A ticket master hands out tickets and passengers sit in a waiting room while they hear how important trains were. A railroad express agent weighs packages that a “customer” comes in to mail. Also, a Western Union agent and telegraph agent send out Morse Code messages so kids see how it works. “It is going over well,” she says. “I love watching kids’ eyes to see their curiosity.” Then the children go to a freight office to find out about perishable and nonperishable items and how packages are put together. The students then get to weigh packages. Everything in the depot operates. Visitors see all the sights and hear all the sounds they would have experienced in 1923. The depot is in the heart of downtown Kingsburg. It’s a community center for all ages that can be rented for events and meetings. Volunteers are always needed. • 1465 California Street, Kingsburg • www.kingsburgdepot.org (559) 897-5391 • Office Hours Wednesday’s 8am-12pm Event space and school tours available

Mirror, Mirror

| BY KAYLA STOCK | PHOTOS: CHRISTY CANAFAX

SUPPLIES • Contractor shims (found at hardware stores) • 12-inch mirror • 11-inch wood circle • Glue gun • Strong glue • Hanging hook • Gold spray paint • Heavy book or weight

D I Y: S TA R B U R S T M I R R O R

TIP: CHOOSE THREE DIFFERENT SIZE MIRRORS TO DISPLAY A SET ON YOUR WALL. ANOTHER IDEA IS TO ADD YOUR MIRROR TO A GALLERY WALL OF PHOTOS OR ART TO CREATE SOME TEXTURE.

1. Use strong glue to attach wood circle to the back of the mirror. There should be a one-inch border from the end of the circle to the end of the mirror. Lay a heavy object on top of the mirror to set the glue. After glue is set, hammer the hanging hook into the wood.

2. Break sticks by sliding half of the stick under your foot and pulling up on the opposite end, it will break in a natural spot. Tip: All sticks will be uneven and that is how you want them. Each stick should break into a short stick and a long stick.

3. Spray paint one side of the sticks. This side will face the front of the mirror

4. Lay the short sticks around the mirror evenly on top of the one-inch border on the backside of the mirror to create the first layer of your starburst. Then glue the sticks down where you placed them around the mirror.

5. Using this same process, grab the long sticks and spread the sticks evenly between the gaps of the first layer, and glue them on the backside of the mirror.

6. Hang where desired.

In fact, he sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner. This is routine until he has to tell them that he’s been offered his dream job that would take him away from his beloved, but annoying, grandparents. Thus begins a series of schemes to keep Nick around.

Building Hope APRIL IS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION AWA R E N E S S MONTH

Photos courtesy of Tulare County Child Abuse Prevention Council

FOR THE TULARE COUNTY Child Abuse Prevention Council, it’s about “creating healthy kids, healthy parents and healthy families as a whole,” says Ramona Chiapa, who became the executive director of the council last June. Child abuse is a serious issue across the nation, and one in every 11 children in Tulare County is a reported victim of abuse or neglect, according to the Tulare County Child Abuse Prevention Council. However, the council is taking great strides to change these statistics. “Ultimately, we want to end child abuse. That’s the goal,” Chiapa says. The council has provided families with services and resources for more than 30 years, from as far north as Dinuba to as far south as Porterville. Its focus is on prevention and education, and it is working to bring

more mandated reporter trainings to the community. “There are a lot of questions that community members have of what roles they play, understanding what is and what isn’t abuse, and how to report,” says Chiapa. “When in doubt, report.” Several communities in Tulare County have resource centers that supply simple things such as food, clothes and laundry services to families, as well as formal classes, including parenting and CPR classes. Chiapa says these centers are a hub; if they can’t provide the services a family needs, they can connect them with another place that can. Through these resource centers, “we’re seeing amazing work being done in communities that have them and they’re making a significant difference,” Chiapa says. 4 continued on page 46 APRIL 2017 www.EnjoySouthValley.com 45

APRIL IS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH, ALSO CALLED BLUE RIBBON MONTH, AND THEY WANT TO

“PAINT THE TOWN BLUE WITH RIBBONS AND SIGNS,” CHIAPA SAYS. The Tulare County Child Abuse Prevention Council recently purchased the Lisa Project in 10, a 10-minute interactive experience about child abuse prevention and awareness, and is bringing it to schools throughout the county. This hands-on educational tool starts and even changes the conversation about child abuse. Curriculum goes with the Lisa Project that teachers can have in their classrooms. “We need to talk about it. We need to have those difficult conversations about child abuse,” says Chiapa. The Tulare County Child Abuse Prevention Council also has a group called PACE, which stands for Parent Agency Collaborative Effort. The aim of this group is to encourage parents to be “agents for change” and “leaders in their community,” Chiapa says. The group is a place for parents to vent and have constructive conversations. “They get excited about what they can do and then they are empowered,” says Chiapa. April is Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month, also called blue ribbon month, and they want to “paint the town blue with ribbons and signs,” Chiapa says. They kick off the month with a presentation, an update of what the Tulare County Child Abuse Prevention Council has been doing, trends that they’re noticing and continuing the conversation about child abuse. This year, they are also holding a community forum, which is “a great opportunity for people to come and ask questions,” says Chiapa. The Tulare County Child Abuse Prevention Council is always looking for new board members. “We can do more if we work together,” Chiapa says. “It’s a collaborative effort.” The council meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 12:15 pm at the parenting network family resource center in Visalia, 330 North Johnson St. • Tulare County Child Abuse Prevention Council 631 W.
