TEMPLETON — Taste of Templeton changes name to Templeton Wine Festival for the 2016 event set for May 14. The Templeton Chamber will continue to organize the event and is currently seeking wineries, food vendors, artisans and alike, to sign up for a vendor space for the fourth annual Templeton Wine Festival. The event previously called the Taste of Templeton has evolved since its first year,” said Sarah Maggelet, Templeton Chamber Director. “Today we are the premier event that showcases the outstanding boutique wineries nestled in the Templeton gap.” Vendor spaces for this event go fast, Maggelet said, and the cost is only $50 for wineries and $100 to food vendors with zero percent of sales taken by event host. “We would love to have 25 local wineries,” Maggelet said. “We are looking for four food vendors to sell food and 10 to 12 shopping vendors,” Maggelet said. Other vendors include arts vendors, from jewelry and paintings to craft type shopping experiences, clothing vendors, and cottage food industry people that provided samples. It will all be mixed in together and the entire festival will be fenced in. “We will have the main stage set up on the grass close to the fire department and the JD Project will be our headliner and back by popular demand James Sweet Water will open for his third year in a row from 1 to 2 p.m.” Maggelet said that the Chamber would like to get all vendors locked in by the end of March. For more information and to sign up for a vendor space, visit templetonchamber.com or call Maggelet at 434-1789.

Yves and Clotilde Julien are the owners of Olea Farm where they boast the largest mobile mill in the world as well as fabricate Mills on Wheels for other companies. Seen here in this their first-ever MOW they built for another company.

Mobile milling

Olea Farm taking show on the road By Allyson Oken Of Vino Magazine

ves and Clotilde Julien are in the business of making golden, glistening, extra virgin olive oil at Olea Farm in Templeton. After years of milling their oil off site inspiration struck and today they are an estate operation with the largest mobile olive oil mill in the world. They created it with the help of friend and engineer Charles Schryver. They call it the Mill on Wheels or MOW. “Since 2007 we have helped to plant over 50,000 olive trees in the northern area of San Luis Obispo County and intended this to be a fun retirement business that has since developed into a full time carrier,” Yves said. “We discovered that milling olives is hard work especially for those farmers who have to transport their fruit off the farm to be processed. Many olive growers end up harvesting one day and then 24 to 36 hours later the fruit is processed. This is not the best practice and impacts the yield and the

flavor of the oil. In the end the product is not what it could be if it were processed the same day and now with the mill on wheels we can do it.” Clotilde said that the idea for the MOW came when the duo saw mobile bottling services coming into the wine industry locally and thought…“Why can’t we do this with our olives? So we thought, what would it be like if the mill were mobile? We started to look at the logistics of making our own and our friend Charles who is also in the business and an engineer was instrumental to this process.” Yves said that the process to make their own mobile mill included, manufacturing a trailer bed, obtaining the milling equipment from Italy, manufactured by Alfa Laval, as well as becoming certified master millers, being approved by the Heath Department and becoming a certified organic miller. “We are involved in every part of the process since we built our first mobile mill Please turn to Page 5

Free Day of Play

TEMPLETON — Sharing the very heart of Scottish roots revival music is Old Blind Dogs. The band, by way of Scotland, will take the Castoro Cellars stage for the first time at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 12. The concert is presented by SLOFolks. Old Blind Dogs are Aaron Jones on vocals, bouzouki, guitar and electric bass, Ali Hutton on the bagpipes, whistles and guitar, and Donald Hay on drums and other percussion instruments. The trio will be joined by American fiddle player Jenna Moynihan, who will take the place of regular band member Jonny Hardie. Jones said that Old Blind Dogs have been at the forefront of the Scottish roots revival since the early 1990s and are known for taking the traditional songs in less traditional directions; with some rock n roll inspired instrumentation. The Dogs, as Jones calls the band, have been going for 24 years this year and were one of the early bands along with The Battlefield Band and The Tannahill Wearers to start experimenting and pushing the boundaries of traditional Scottish music. “One of our big things is to be respectful to the tradition, but try and make it a little bit more accessible to perhaps people who would not necessarily be into the really traPlease turn to Page 4

TAAG election set for March 3 BY ALLYSON OKEN Of Templeton Life

TEMPLETON — Six Templeton Area Advisory Group seats are up for grabs, with four candidates and three incumbents running in the 2016 election from 5 to 8 p.m., Thursday March 3. At the TAAG meeting Jan. 21 it was announced that the election process would begin, excluding Bob Bejarano, whose term is not yet up. Delegates whose terms are expiring include: David La Rue, Alison Carscaden, Sarah Maggelet, Sarah Marquart, and both alternates Jeff DeBrish, and Cecil Martinez. La Rue had previously announced his intent to retire after 20 years of service and Carscaden and Marquart made it known that they would not be running again. According to Maggelet, those running for delegate seats are, “Alice Griselle, Murray Powell, Chris Davis and Larry Stone,” she wrote in an email, “The incumbents running for reelection include, Sarah Maggelet, Cecil Martinez and Jeff DeBrish.” Contributed by Old Blind Dogs

Old Blind Dogs are coming all the way from Scotland to the Central Coast to share their traditional music with a twist. With Aaron Jones on vocals, bouzouki, guitar and electric bass, Ali Hutton on the bagpipes, whistles and guitar, and Donald Hay on drums and other percussion instruments. They will be joined by American fiddle player Jenna Moynihan, who will take the place of regular band member Jonny Hardie.

Old Blind Dogs ditional Scottish music,” Jones said explaining that it may not be for everybody. “Early on the band incorporated bass, guitar, percussion and drums and have evolved and grown over the years to have a fairly distinctive sound. We are very lucky to travel abroad and be ambassadors to our traditional music.” Jones noted that Celtic music is popular all over the world because it is a celebration of life saying, “people like to feel something when they listen to music and this traditional music achieves that and more by getting people up for a boogie.” Old Blind Dogs tend to go with more traditional music digging through dusty shelves of poetry and musical compendiums, many written over 100 years ago. Jones said that the band has written tunes and melodies that they used, but feel very lucky to have a huge untapped resource of traditional songs to draw from. “Really hundreds of years worth of songs and melodies that were written down and recorded provide that golden chalice for us is to find songs that have never been recorded from those dusty old books,” he said. “Even though the songs are a couple of hundred years old, they all contain themes that we can relate to. We have a very dark bloody history so out of a lot of adversity you tend to find great songs.”

NEW CANDIDATES QUALIFICATIONS:

and have both completed Master Miller training at UC Davis,” Yves said. “ After we started processing our own we started to help other olive oil producers to process their own with our mill. Last year the harvesting process began in fall starting in mid-October. We traveled to farms as far south as Santa Barbara and as far north as Carmel finishing just before the first freeze, usually in December or early January.” In the midst of harvest last year, Olea expanded its business when an olive oil

producer in Texas contacted them asking about the MOW. Since that phone call, Yves and Clotilde have been working with this olive oil producer to design and sell mobile olive oil processing systems to their specifications and requirements; providing a complete turnkey system including training. Yves said that the most amazing thing about the process is the freshness of the oil produced when they process the day it is picked. “The mobile mill processes the

fruit the same day from start to finish, from washing to crushing,” Yves said explaining that this is the best possible way to harvest because the fruit looses non of its integrity. “The extraction process results in extra virgin olive oil that gives you the best flavor possible. The Mill On Wheels is capable of processing up to 2 tons per hour. One of the benefits of Mill On Wheels is the variable speed decanter that enables immediate and precise adjustment of olive paste residence time in the decanter and with the Alfa

Laval’s self cleaning vertical centrifuge as the final oil polishing step it maximizes the yield.” Olea Farm is making the job of the olive oil producer easy on the Central Coast with its MOW and offer tours for those interested in the process as well. To learn more about the process, sign on with the Mobile Mill during harvest time or learn how to fabricate a MOW, visit olivemillonwheels.com.

this type,” Hanson said. “The idea is to give kids the opportunity to play and develop a connection with sport.” Both Hanson and Krivencheva have extensive knowledge of the sport. Krivencheva is from Plovdiv, Bulgaria, and is a former Women’s Tennis Association touring pro with a high world ranking of 69th in doubles and 136th in singles. Hanson has spent the past three years teaching sports fundamentals to children ages 4 to 10 years old at a Kid’s Gym in the Seattle area and is a certified American Style Ballroom Dance instructor and USPTA professional tennis instructor. “We have a lot of fun working with the kids, “Hanson said explaining that he has two children of his own who love to play. “I like to cater lessons to the individual and can be goofy and fun or focused and demanding. With the little ones, it is more about learning how to use their bodies and special awareness than anything else. It is just a blast getting them up and running around.” Hanson said he usually takes the approach of question and answer with the kids he teaches, asking things like… Do you like to run? Do you like to hit things and throw things? If the answer is yes he said he knows just what to do. “For me to get a little kid engaged I like them to know that they like to do these things by prompting them with questions about what they like,” Hanson said. “I let them figure it out themselves as we go and try not to give to much verbal direction. Most kids want to play with other kids and that is what we do with our programs, allow them to engage other kids and have fun.” Templeton Tennis Ranch will serve refreshments to those who attend the Day of Play and reservations are required to attend. To reserve a spot call 434-9605, email Jason@ttrtennis.com or drop by the TTR located at 345 Championship Lane in Templeton.
