In the 1920s, Austrian philosopher Ruldolf Steiner gave a series of lectures suggesting that humans, animals, plants — and the universe as a whole — form a single living organism. Today, this philosophy is called “biodynamics.” The theory was focused on combining holistic ideas and a farmers own experimental methods. Steiner highly recommended that farmers work with nature to get the best out of their harvests. Why work against Mother Nature when you can use her to your benefit? These were Melanie Blankenship’s exact thoughts when she opened Nature’s Touch in 2001.

esting my violin case on the grass, I looked out over the market, scoping out the available real estate and picking a spot in the shade. Even though it was 8:30 a.m. and the vendors were still setting up, it had the makings to be a truly warm summer day in Templeton, heralded by the heady scent rising from the park grass and the spice and smoke vapors wafting over from the vendor’s tents. To busk at the Templeton Farmer’s Market a musician must find a spot that is close enough to the sidewalk to interact and be heard by the crowd, yet far enough away that the vendors are able to conduct business undisturbed. This proximity has the unexpected benefit of providing musicians with a ring-side seat to the small bubbling mass of humanity that comes through the park on Saturday mornings. As my friend and fellow musician, Megan Greenaway, pulled out her accordion and guitar we watched the people go by, roaming the stalls for the freshest vegetables or the ripest,
just-picked organic fruits. Every age group is represented, from the elderly couples to the students our own age. But as always, our first fans were the children of the market. Called away from the stands laden with handmade goods, pastries and fruits, they were pulled in by the rhythmic bellows of the accordion and the oddly human-sounding keen of the violin . One little blond girl in a pink dress with matching pink helmet rode by on the back of a tandem bicycle. She stopped pedaling when she saw us, mesmerized, eyes round as she left her dad to provide the power so that she could listen for a few moments longer. The heat increased and a line of sunlight slinked a little closer to us on the grass as our fingers started to slip against the instruments. The sun beating down pulled my violin out of tune as the wood shrunk and expanded, a hazard of outside performances, and I paused to set it right. Of course for the accordion tuning is something of a foreign concept. The vendors listened to us sing when they

The Dubosts, a pivotal family in the Adelaida area for 2 centuries By Connie Pillsbury For Templeton LIfe
Creig P. Sherburne Of Templeton Life
Templeton resident Ann Taylor, 17, has had a string of foreigners in her home since before she was born. Her parents, Karin and Bob, said they began hosting exchange students just after they married about 25 years ago. By the time this story is published, the Taylor family’s most recent guest, Mao Ogawa, 17, will be back in her home in Japan after a year on the Central Coast. But, she said, it was an adventure that will stay with her for the rest of her life — and she’s made a lasting impression on the Taylors, too. “The first months I got here, I got homesick,” Ogawa said. “But after, I enjoyed it.” Ogawa said she wanted to come to the United States primarily to work on her English. But while here, she did so much more. For instance, while attending Templeton High School, she took piano, floral design, drama and was on the varsity track team. She also got to do some gardening at the Taylors’ rural Templeton home. And then there was the camping. She got to eat s’mores and see a waterfall. “It was so fun,” Ogawa said. “We slept in a tent. It’s kind of outside.” She even got to graduate from an American high school with the rest of the senior class. Unfortunately for her, she’s got one more year of high school back in Japan, and her first day is literally two days after she flies in. She said she expected that to be pretty hard. But her stay wasn’t particularly hard, the family said. And make no mistake — it was a family, not a family plus a guest. Bob said he always expected having an exchange student — especially a long term one like Ogawa — to change the family dynamic, to change the way he parents, but it never did. “She’s my daughter from Japan for the year,” he said with a smile and a shrug. His own daughter has plans for a sixweek trip to Japan this summer. She’ll be about an hour away from an exchange student who lived in her house previously. “It’s nice that I know some people there,” Ann said. “My dream is I want to teach English to Japanese people, but also Japanese to other people.” That’s exactly what it’s all about, Suzanne Sullivan said. Sullivan is a coordinator for Cultural Homestay International, the exchange student program the Taylors use. Sullivan said that in the 15 or so years of coordinating families with students, she’s worked hundreds of both. “What we look for in a host family is they have to have references checked, but federal law requires a criminal background check,” she said and added that it’s just paperwork, and not particularly difficult paperwork. “Host families only need to provide the student a place to sleep — not necessarily their own room, Please turn to Page A3

Monthly publication dedicated to covering Everything Templeton, CA
When the new Templeton High School was seven years old in 1987, Curt Dubost arrived from San Diego to become its Principal. But Dubost wasn’t new to the area. His great grandfather Auguste Dubost and wife Pauline, had arrived by clipper ship at the Cayucos pier 100 years earlier in 1882. A blacksmith and miner, Dubost, originally from Cherbourg, France, had come from Hawaii, where his family were blacksmiths for the Hawaiian Royal Family. From Cayucos, Dubost and Pauline made the one-day journey in a wagon over the hill to Adelaida, where he had heard of the quicksilver mines. In Adelaida, Auguste homesteaded and built a blacksmith business along with ranching. By 1897, he was able to purchase a group of mines from neighbor, Edwin Smith. Realizing there was more money is providing supplies for miners than mining, he sold the mines to Karl Klau of Boston Quicksilver Mining Co. in 1900. Auguste became Postmaster of the Adelaida post office and opened a general store and dance hall next door. With a portable steam engine to power a threshing machine and saw mill, Dubost’s place became the center of activity in the pioneer town. Son Alfred and wife Alexandrine continued to run the store and post office for many years. Alfred and brother Frank ranched the 4,500 acres accumulated by their father. Auguste’s only daughter Natalie, died from pneumonia while on her honeymoon. The absense of communication about the sad event spurred Auguste and friend Herb Sutton to form the Adelaida Rural Telephone Company in

various boards and community projects all of his life. That brings us to Curt Dubost, son of Ray and Nancy Curtis-Dubost. Curt’s parents divorced when he was quite young, and he and his mother relocated near Cal Poly, where she became the first woman to graduate from the college with a B.S. in 1956. She and her son then moved to San Diego to begin her lifelong teaching career. On weekends, holidays and every summer, Curt’s dad, Ray, drove to San Diego to bring him back to the Adelaida homestead. Ray lived with his mother Alexandrine in the house still standing at the townsite. Curt says he appreciated ‘both worlds’ of his parents – the educational opportunities of city life and the rural ranch life of Adelaida. So when Curt Dubost returned in 1987, he was actually coming home. As Principal of Templeton High School, he and a dedicated board worked to make Templeton a school of excellence. Their goals were achieved; Templeton was named among the top 40 High Schools in California in the 1990s. With five years as Principal and ten years as Superintendent, he says, “I watched Templeton go from being funky to classy, and as the schools got better, more people wanted to live here.” After six years as Superintendent in Taft, Curt retired to focus on the wine business at the 360-acre family ranch, started in 2002 by late stepson Jacob Raines, who was the first Dubost winemaker. Soon, though, Curt found himself back in education as the Interim
Superintendent/Principal of the San Miguel School District. “ I decided I was meant to just go to school every day, and I love my office near the kids at Lillian Larson,” he smiles. Meanwhile, wife Kate Raines Dubost manages the Dubost Winery, while her son Zachary Raines serves as winemaker and son Lucas Raines handles marketing. The Dubost family is in its sixth generation in California. Curt’s sons, Ted and Tim Dubost, and stepson Zachary Raines have two children each. Ted, a local surveyor, is following the connection to the land with a new vineyard near the old Adelaida cemetery. The Dubost name has been synonymous with ‘center of activity’ in the Adelaida area, and signs are that it and the Raines name will continue that tradition into the future. Dubost Winery is located at 9988 Chimney Rock Road, Paso Robles.

had no customers, leaning back for a moment on their heels. On occasion they expressed their appreciation with small gifts that appeared by our cases. This day, an elderly man left a carton of fresh blueberries for us to enjoy. I kept an eye on the dogs that found our cases intriguing, also watching the faint breeze stir the pages I had forgotten to clip down on the music stand, knowing that if they blew off that either Greenaway or I would have to go running after it with instrument in tow. Ambient noise increased with the barking of dogs, the shouting and the small family dramas, but we carried on as more and more people took a break from their

shopping to come and talk with us. Many of these were fellow musicians who wanted to discuss instrument makers. Others wanted to know about the music or where we are from. Finally succumbing to the noon heat, we wave away the midges and packed up for the day, nestling the instruments back in their worn plush cases before we too go out to roam the vibrant market before the vendors, too, were on their way. Templeton’s farmer’s market is one of the largest and best-attended in San Luis Obispo County.

The Taste of Templeton is full of flavor
Olive oil festival sets the stage for Templeton’s summer events
Creig P. Sherburne Of Templeton Life
The inaugural Taste of Templeton Olive Oil Festival kicked off Templeton’s festival season, and some of the olive oil kicked back. Olive growers and olive oil manufacturers from all over the Central Coast had representatives offering olive oil samples and education. “The weather is the biggest issue, but the cloud cover is helping,” Templeton Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Berdette Robison said with a smile. Atascadero-based Kitehawk Farms owner Denise Schryver was serving up a spicy olive oil that she said got its peppery flavor by being picked a bit early. “Once people taste and use local, fresh olive oil, they’ll never buy supermarket oil again,” she said. “We are here so that local people can buy really good, locally produced olive oil.” And it seems to be working. Marisa Bloch of Pasolivo Olive Oil out of Paso Robles said that the olive oil community is a very positive one, and that the various growers are supportive of one another. She said the same of the relationships between wineries and olive farms. “Everyone works together,” she said immediately after rushing to a nearby booth to help gather up papers and materials that had begun blowing away in a stiff breeze. Beginning at about noon, 10 local wineries uncorked bottles and began pouring tastes, and since the event ran concurrently with the farmers market, there was also plenty of food to be had. There was also an opportunity to be an olive farmer a year or two hence. Meadow Oak Farm & Nursery was in attendance, and they had olive trees. Owner Henry Grattan said that North County is one of the best places in the
Recipe
world to grow olives, and he just got licensed to sell the trees. “A nice thing about the olive tree is right around here is one of the most unique environments for growing olives in the world,” he said. One of the farthest out olive farms in attendance was Legacy Olive Company. Owner Cheryl Gaultney said that her property’s northernmost boundary touches the Monterey County line. She also pointed out that being at a festival such as Taste of Templeton offered a very interesting juxtaposition: she was selling one of the world’s oldest products using one of the world’s newest bits of technology. “I started using Square a year ago,” Gaultney said. “And, especially when it’s a larger sale, sales have gone up.” Square is a credit card reader that works with iPhones, iPads and select Android devices. It allows anybody to take credit card payments without having to fill out a credit card slip and make an imprint of a customer’s card. Gaultney said that it made a huge difference for her on Saturday. “People come for farmers market and only have $10 in cash for cherries,” she said. “Square puts business into the hands of the artist and the grower.” And she wasn’t alone. Booth after booth sported an iPhone with the small white square card reader sticking out the top. But high technology or not, the tastings were, it was generally agreed, wonderful. According to the California Olive Oil Council, which had representatives in attendance, the way to taste olive oil is much the same as one tastes wine: swirl, sniff, slurp and swallow, executive director Patricia Darragh said. And there’s plenty more tasting where that came from. The event was a success from all accounts, and plans are underway for a reprise next year.

and with several distinguished chefs, including the legendary James Beard. Adrienne grew up on the east coast but eventually ended up in Pasadena where she was active in Assistance League of Pasadena. It was there that she met fellow Long Islander, Phyllis Ann Marshall. She was invited to join Phyllis Ann’s culinary school in San Marino in the 1980’s and together, the cooks taught hundreds of students and led overseas cooking tours. A couple of years ago, Hawkinson and Phyllis Ann offered a seven course JULIA (Childs) dinner party as an auction item for the North County Women’s Shelter event, hosted by Friends of the Women’s Shelter. It sold for a generous amount at the fundraiser event, and guests enjoyed the evening at Hawkinson’s Templeton home. In addition to cooking and entertaining, Hawkinson is an active member of Rotary Club of Templeton and acts as president of the club’s foundation. She is also active in the Paso Robles Republican Women Federated and serves on the Republican Central Committee. She organized a small group of friends who enjoy gathering at local restaurants for dinners on a regular basis. With warmer weather on the horizon and concerts starting in the park in Templeton, she is planning on “gathering the group” for a gourmet picnic. The following recipes are from the Phyllis Ann Marshall Cooking School for “An Elegant French Picnic” put together for Assistance League of Pasadena in 1979. I think you will enjoy the combination of foods. Chicken Liver Terrine 1/2 lb. fresh chicken livers 1 small onion, sliced thin 1/2 c. chicken stock 1/2 tsp. salt 3/4 c. unsalted butter (1-1/2 sticks) 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. Cognac or Brandy 1/4 c. cream Directions: 1. Place livers, onions, stock and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower heat immediately, cover and simmer slowly for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside, covered for 10 more minutes. Then strain off liquid. 2. Place the drained livers and onions in the food
processor bowl fitted with the knife blade while still warm. Add the butter, salt, liquor and cream. Puree until perfectly smooth. 3. Pour the mixture into a mold, terrine or serving container. Cover tightly and refrigerate. This will keep in the refrigerator for four or five days and is best made the day before. Serve with unsalted crackers or homemade Melba toast Poulet Fendu Farci qu Four (Zucchini Stuffed, Baked Chicken for 4) Step 1. To prepare the chicken: Buy a fat (3-1/2 to 4 lb.) whole chicken (or chicken breasts). Wash, dig out the pieces of kidney left on either side of the backbone and dry inside and out. Place the chicken on a board, take sharp knife, poultry shears, or scissors and split the chicken down the back staying as close to the backbone as you can. Now cut down the other side of the backbone so you remove the entire backbone, thus butterflying the chicken. Spread the chicken out and give it a good whack with the heel of the hand to flatten. Now take the hand and go up under the skin, between the skin and the meat, loosening skin and connective fibers, but being careful not to puncture the sin. Step 2. Prepare zucchini: Wash, cut off ends and dry 1 pound of small, firm zucchini. Grate on the large side of your grater or Cuisinart grater, reducing it to spaghetti-like shreds. Arrange the cut zucchini in layers in a colander, salting each layer as you do to wilt cucumbers. Let stand for at least 30 minutes, and then squeeze to drain thoroughly. Step 3. Stuffing: Add to the drained zucchini, 1/2 cup of Ricotta cheese, 1 medium onion chopped very fine, 1 egg, 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese and 2 tsp. marjoram leaves or Pinch of Herbs. Mix well. Step 4. To stuff the bird: Take a handful of stuffing and push it up under the skin, covering the meat on the leg, breast, and thigh as evenly as possible with the stuffing. Mold the shape of the bird after the stuffing is evenly distributed. With the sharp knife, pierce the web of shin and thin flesh between the inside of the thigh and the tip of the breast, making a slit just large enough to receive the drumstick tip. Force the drumstick gently up and push its tip through the slit to force the skin and stuffing into a plump version of the natural form.

Step 5: To bake the chicken: Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan. Bake for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, at 375 degrees depending on the size of the bird. The skin will be very brown, but because the stuffing acts as insulation, the chicken requires extra time. Step 6: Split the bird down the center, then cut around the legs to make four servings; two breast pieces and two of the leg and thigh. Double the recipe for six to eight. Note: Cut up the chicken into easy pieces to handle and pack your picnic basket with a fresh green salad, a light pasta salad, apricot bars and your favorite wine. Then, head out for the park and enjoy the concert.
