Church conference addresses roles of next generation BY JOSH HEIMILLER Community contributor
s the next generation a lost cause? Wayne Rice doesn’t think so. Rice is the featured speaker at the upcoming “Next Generation Family Conference” at Parkside Church, 2515 Church Ave., in northeast Bakersfield. Rice is also the co-founder of Youth Specialties and the author of more than 30 books for parents, teachers, and youth workers. From Rice’s perspective, the most important thing we can do to help the next generation succeed is to create healthy families. As he writes in one of his most recent books titled “Generation to Generation:” “No one has more influence on children than parents." He also acknowledges the important role of grandparents, extended family, and mentors. At the Next Generation Family Conference, Rice will be sharing many practical insights about how to build an effective family and teach healthy values at home. The conference has been sponsored by Parkside Church so that the entire weekend is completely free. The public is invited to participate in three conference sessions with Wayne Rice, a Family Fun Night on Saturday, and seminar sessions on Sunday (see below for full conference details). The Family Fun Night will feature a free barbecue meal, fun activities, a puppet

Come and join Peter’s adventures with Captain Hook, the Indians, the Lost Boys; and, of course, the Mermaids. Directed by drama teacher Alicia Hammons, “Peter Pan” stars Kirsten Laverty as Peter, Kate Coughlin as Wendy, Tyler Morris as Tinker Bell, and Karla Aparicio as Captain Hook. Don't miss it!

Kegley Institute, rotary announce Ethics Award winner BY JENNIFER BURGER Community contributor
he Kegley Institute of Ethics at California State University, Bakersfield and Downtown Rotary of Bakersfield are pleased to announce Colleen McGauley as the recipient of the first annual KIE-Downtown Rotary Community Ethics Award. McGauley is Executive Director of Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Kern County. The award honors community members who exemplify ethical values either over a lifetime or in a specific situation during the previous year. “These are people who, day by day, reveal their character in their actions, people who truly stand out as consistently doing the right thing, even when no one is looking,” said Christopher Meyers, director of the Kegley Institute of Ethics at CSUB. The selection committee voted unanimously to choose McGauley for her longtime role in giving a voice to abused children in Kern County. She was a member of the first class of volunteers when CASA was established in Kern County in 1994. She joined the staff in 1996 and became the executive director in 2001. CASA volunteers advocate for children who are dependents of the court, many of whom live in foster homes. Under McGauley’s leadership, CASA has doubled

the number of volunteers and children served annually. Jarrod McNaughton, a CASA board member and member of the Community Ethics Award nominating committee, said McGauley is one of the most passionate and ethical people he knows. “Over a decade ago, Colleen was my case manager PHOTO PROVIDED when I was a Colleen McGauley CASA volunteer. It is such a joy to see that her mission for what she does hasn’t changed a bit. Today, Colleen is recognized as one of the powerhouse nonprofit executives, always willing to go the extra distance to be sure the children of Kern County are never forgotten. She is the perfect choice for this year's ethics award,” McNaughton said. The Community Ethics Award is also sponsored by local accounting firm Barbich, Hooper, King, Dill, & Hoffman, along with Robert Tafoya and Sandra Serrano. McGauley was honored during the 26th Anniversary Charles W. Kegley Memorial Lecture on April 19.
