It’s back to school for area youth
this month and we have several
stories by Judy Bedell, starting
on page 12, to assist students and
their parents in preparations to
return to the classroom...plus you
can read about the PRHS Class
of 1954 60th Reunion plans the

Congrats on a
SPECTACULAR 4th of July
As part of the City’s 125th Anniversary, an old-fashioned celebration was held in the City Park
on Friday, the 4th of July, with an
incredible collection of volunteers
making it fun for sooooo many
people, from the parade around
the park in the morning to the
Concerts in the Park and the special Patriotic Veterans salute, to a
great fireworks show. Well done to
each of you…Chairman Al Garcia
reported to our Paso Rotary Club
they were expecting 3-5,000 people in the park but about 12,000
showed up. I’d call that successful!
replace the 04 with 05, etc. We
plan to completely update our
website in the months ahead to
include ALL past issues. Stay
tuned.
Fair. Awesome job, gang. We were
there almost every day and loved it.
Great displays, upgraded grounds
and the place never looked better!
Our grandkids really appreciated
the rides in the kiddy area and
the workers were extremely polite
helping them...much appreciated by
Gramps and GmaRho! ...and more!
There’s several more amazing
stories on a variety of topics on
the following pages I think you’ll
enjoy, including another historical installment honoring our
City’s 125th Anniversary by Chris
Weygandt, this one titled “Movers & Shakers & Cooks of Paso
Robles.” Intriguing, eh?

Winemakers vie for chef’s
honors at annual cookoff
The Paso Robles Rotary
Club 16th Annual Winemakers’ Cookoff will be held
August 9 from 6 to 9 p.m. at
the Paso Robles Event Center, 2198 Riverside Avenue,
Paso Robles. The Rotary Club
will again bring more than 30 Paso
Robles winemakers together to
compete to see who is the best chef.
Organizers expect the tickets to sell
out quickly. Attendance is limited to
just 1,200. Tickets are $85 and are
on sale at pasorobleswinemakerscookoff.eventbrite.com.
All proceeds from the event benefit local high school scholarships
and the Paso Robles Rotary contributed $38,000 to Paso Robles High
School scholarships last year. Since
1999, the Rotary Club has created a
perpetual fund of more than
$400,000 called the Harlow Ford
Scholarship Fund.
IQMS is returning as the title
sponsor of the event. “The IQMS
sponsorship of the Rotary event
underscores our company’s com-
mitment toward the education and support of our local
youth,” said Randy Flamm,
President and C.E.O. of
IQMS.
“The Paso Robles Winemakers’ Cookoff has become one of Paso Robles’ most-popular wine, food and music events,”
says event co-chairperson Bob
Fonarow. “Participating wineries pair
their grilled culinary creations with
their finest wines and compete for
both Judges’ Choice and People’s
Choice awards the day of the event.“
Music for the evening will be
performed by Julie & the BadDogs NOT another cover band. “Sure, we
can play the songs you know and
love, but we play them in a style
that’s spontaneous and unique
- without sacrificing what makes
them all-time favorites,” says Julie
Beaver.

Paso Robles Rotary Club and the
Winemakers’ Cookoff visit: www.

EDUCATION & YOUTH
By Judy Bedell
DO start adjusting weekday
bedtime schedules to earlier times
and limiting late night television and video/computer game
playing. Going to bed early and
getting up on a school schedule
starting two weeks before the
actual start of school is the most
effective way to get students back
in routine and eliminates stress
those first few weeks back.
DON’T go on a before school
shopping spree for school supplies
unless you actually know what the
teachers will require. Many of the
big box stores have lists of needed
supplies by grade level but these
are created to sell school supplies
and are often NOT the supplies
your child will actually be asked
to bring in. Of course the backpack and lunch pail are always
standard equipment and fun to
purchase and take on the first day.
With prices rising and budgets
shrinking, wait to see what your
child’s school will provide before
purchasing school supplies.
DO make your child a list of
important contacts and phone
numbers in case of emergencies.
This list can be kept on a cell
phone for older students and in
the backpack for the younger
ones. Consider getting your child
an ID bracelet with your cell
phone number and contact information. This is a great idea for
younger students who have yet
to memorize their phone numbers. Don’t forget to update the
list and contact the school when
your phone number changes.
It’s about time for school to start again!
Some Helpful
Do’s and Don’ts
Many schools are using auto-dialer phone call systems to remind
you about upcoming events and
activities and to receive the message, they need a working phone
number.
DON’T plan a big vacation or
trip the weekend before school
begins. Spend some time just
relaxing and being together as
a family. If your child will be attending a new school, take a stroll
around the campus after you get
off work or on the weekend and
check out where the classrooms
are, the location of restrooms and
the cafeteria and office.
DO make sure you and your
elementary age children have
a password that will be shared
in the event you have an emergency and have to send a friend
or co-worker to pick them up.
Children should be taught not
to go with strangers unless they
know the password. This way
no one can convince your child
you have been in an accident and
need to get in the car with him or
her to be taken to see you. Don’t
frighten your children, but have a
plan in place to assure their safety.
DON’T forget to have the
camera and/or phone charged
for those first day photos.
DO set up a basket or box to
use for papers you need to read
and possibly sign and return to
school. There is a lot of paperwork the first few weeks and
with multiple children it can
get misplaced and lost if there is
not a designated spot for you to
check.
DON’T forget to check the
bus schedule. For Paso Robles
Schools it can be found at www.
pasoschools.com under Support
Services. Make sure both you
and your child have a designated
place to meet after school or if
they will be walking or riding
a bike home, practice the route
before school actually begins.
DO make sure your child has
picked up a pencil and used it
at least once before school actually begins. Writing shopping lists, letters to friends and
relatives, or a journal of final
summer activities are all great
ways to get back in the writing
routine.
DON’T forget to listen to
your child’s concerns or worries about returning to school.
What might seem like a silly
problem to an adult can cause
a child much stress and anxiety. Encourage your child to talk
to you about what is bothering
him /her and then make a plan
to address the concerns.
DO discuss and put in writing a plan for when and where
homework will be done. Some
families find doing it right after
school works best while others
like to wait until dinner is over. Splitting the tasks in half and
doing some work immediately
after school and then the rest after dinner works well too. Pencil
in activities such as Awanas, Girl
Scouts, or football and teach your
child time management skills by
planning ahead each week to get
homework done around the various activities. Post the schedule
on the refrigerator so everyone
can see the plan for the week.
DON’T forget to label backpacks, lunch pails, sweatshirts and
other easily misplaced items. Every few months, schools send
thousands of dollars worth of
clothing to thrift shops when
it is left on the playground and
no name is found to return the
jacket or sweatshirt to the rightful owner.
DO give lots of hugs and
make time to hear all of the
news during the first few days
back at school. It is a time for
new beginnings, new friendships
and new knowledge. 185 Niblick Rd.

EDUCATION & YOUTH
Preparing for Back-to-School Night
By Judy Bedell
Back to School Night is an
important date to mark on your
calendar. Even if you have children at three different schools,
or you are sending your last child
off to kindergarten, you should
make an effort to go. Many
changes are in the works with
new Common Core State Standards and Back to School Night
is also a wonderful opportunity
for community members to see
just how rigorous the curriculum
now is. At Back To School Night the
teacher has the opportunity to
present an overview of the year’s
curriculum, share his/her classroom management and behavior
plans, and let you know about
any special events and dates that
are forthcoming. Take along
your dayplanner or calendar and
mark these dates down while
you have the time. For parents, this evening also
gives you a chance to see where
your child is seated and to meet
other parents of children in the
class. Given today’s privacy laws,
teachers are not allowed to give
out a class list of phone numbers.
So, introduce yourself to other
parents and exchange phone
numbers or e-mail in case your
child needs an emergency ride
to school or, more often, clarification on that homework assignment your child suddenly forgot
the directions for.
With some schools having class
sizes of 32 - 35 students, Back to
School Night is not the place for
a private conference about your
child and any concerns you have.
Do let the teacher know when
the best time to reach you is and
that you value communication
between school and home.
Many teachers are now utilizing e-mail to keep in contact with busy working parents.
Take along an index or business
card that you can leave with the
teacher (s) that has your name,
child’s name, and contact information on it. If your child has
any health conditions or learning disabilities, include this information on the card too.
You can also list ways you are
able to volunteer or help the
teacher. For instance, if you work
during school hours, maybe you
can donate supplies for a special
art project or milk and cookies
for a reading rewards day. Also ask what projects or supplies the teacher may need. In
years past the school provided
ample Kleenex, pencils and paper. That is not the case today.
MOVIES COMING IN AUGUST
See if other parents are interested in teaming up to supply a
special art lesson or field trip for
the classroom.
Lastly, start a folder with the
information you receive at Back
to School Night. Keep it in a
special place to refer to and add
to it as the year progresses. There
might be papers to sign and
return so get those back to the
school as soon as possible.
If you are attending Back to
School Night as a community
member, introduce yourself to
the teacher and let her know if
you have an area of interest or
expertise you could share with
the class. Find out if there are
any part-time jobs open at the
school, such as yard duty supervision, which is a paid position
that can be quite rewarding.
Good communication and
positive support from home
and the community will help all
children be successful and make
for a great 2014-15 school year.

By Chuck Desmond
Earthquake! Fire! Civil Unrest!
Any of these could happen at any time and
they could come together. The major shaker
in Paso; Northridge; ‘89 in San Francisco.
Virtually everyone of us can relate to at least
one of these. We know where we were and
what we were doing and we clearly remember if we were prepared. No matter our religious affiliation or even if there isn’t one,
at some level in our gray matter we beg the
Universe to spare us from a disaster.
However, we know where we live. We
know Parkfield, we know San Andreas, we
know fire, we know the horrific devastation
and the desperation and the panic that ensues. Worst of all, we know that something
is going to happen! BUT, do we know what
to do and are we ready to get through the
first 3 to 5 days? That, is the 64,000 dollar
question!
Jim and Shirley Fritsche own the 911
Supply House where all of us can get the
supplies we need BEFORE we need them.
Along with them is John Rickwald who has
been involved in preparedness and training
since 1983 after attending a preparedness
meeting in Santa Monica. All of their skills,
classes and products are bundled around the
CERT program which stands for Community Emergency Response Team. Started
in Los Angeles, this is now a nation-wide
program to help individuals or families
and communities be ready. In Paso and our
neighboring pueblos, CERT is very-much
linked to the sheriff ’s department and our 5
local fire departments.
The 911 Supply House is located at 1736
Riverside, right next to the brand new 101
/ 17th St. interchange. This is where you
will find Joe at least 6 days a week as he,
Shirley and John are the 800 number of
readiness! Jim came from a corporate world
of publishing. Joe and Shirley moved here
in 2000 and along with running the EQWine Covers Company, he began teaching CERT in SLO. He met Ken Johnson
of the Paso Emergency Services Dept and
Be In Control!
Be Prepared
For An Emergency!
Jim and Shirley Fritsche of 911 Supply
House are concerned for the safety of local
residents and the need to be prepared for
disaster. John Rickwald, right, shares his
passion for being prepared to many local
groups and organizations
also John Rickwald who
works at Whitford Communications. The relationships were forged, the concept made sense
and 911 Supply House was started in 2011.
Today, Jim is also the No. County Program
Manager of CERT and in this role, he reports to Ian Parkinson and the fire captains.
The gist of their message is to be able to
be away for 3 to 5 days and survive while
those who handle the disaster can perform
their tasks to stabilize or contain the situation. While they do their work, you have to be
in control of your own situation. That means
having water, food, flashlights, a radio and
medicine where you can get to it – not stuck
in a closet or garage where the roof has collapsed and all the doors are wedged shut.
Having the supplies is one thing. Knowing what the heck to do in an emergency
is quite another. This is where the CERT
training classes come in. Formal classes are
held five times per year and a class consists
of four weeknights and a Saturday handson session that is pretty intense. Imagine
the things we can learn in these classes.
Practical things for sure but just as important are the “mental models of surviving and
coping.” Don’t be scared – be positive! A bit
of effort makes a huge difference! Remember that in a disaster, go to the Event Center and from there, be transported to Camp
Roberts which is the National Guard Center for just such situations!
Have you ever taken a CPR class? I haven’t
and it’s time. How about for you? As a public service, Stephanie Ponti teaches a three
hour CPR class with an optional two-hour
first aid class. They are held at a very reasonable price...at the 911 Supply House. She’s
been doing it for years and really knows her
stuff !
John Rickwald teaches how to make a
“Getting Home Pack” that
basically includes enough
items to start a new
household. John started
making these around
the time of Northridge
so he has truly perfected
the model. The packs are
basically travel bags and one might even
think about having one at the office or in
the trunk of the car. Think about this – we
spend 1/3 of our life in our workplaces.
Will the disaster just happen to happen
when we’re home? Hmmm.
The 911 Supply House has a cornucopia
of survival goodies. Containers of water and
a huge assortment of meals that last in storage for 5 years plus helmets, stretchers and all
kinds of safety protection equipment. There
are even bundled 3 or 5 days kits of supplies
to make choosing even easier. The store is
open Monday thru Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
To receive more information about
CERT, supplies, classes and dates, go to
911supply.com and NorthSLOCoCERT
.org or call 239-0911 and Facebook is
911SupplyHouse.
Make it a point to stop in and see for
yourself. Talk with Jim and Shirley. This
could be the best earthquake insurance you’ll
ever have!

ight months after he founded the town’s first newspaper on
arrival of the railway in 1886, Horace Wright wrote of
an encounter with a recent railroad traveler, describing the
shortsighted visitor thusly [edited somewhat for length]:
An Unfair Judgment
There are many men who fancy that they can see all there is
worth seeing and form an accurate judgment of a locality or a
section by simply taking a hasty trip through it and not
departing from beaten routes of travel.
The fact that the best portion of a city or even the country
lies at a distance from the railroad, nine times out of ten,
is ignored by them, and they are accustomed to form their
conclusions entirely from what they see out of the car window,
or from the most cursory inspection.
A man from the grape-growing district of Sonoma and
Napa came down here one day, arriving here late in the
afternoon. By half-past eight next morning he had seen,
so he said, all he wanted to of this country...In his lengthy
stay of twelve hours, he said:
T
“I haven’t seen anything that I think will raise grapes.”
...The writer offered to escort the discontented visitor
about the country. But no, the sapient visitor had seen all
he wanted and just knew that the country was not fit for
fruit growing. Accordingly the next train bore him away...
It was a good riddance.
– Horace G. Wright, 1887
The Traveling Post Office
he traveling post office of “El Paso de Robles” was established
in 1867 after years of mail delivery to “Hot Springs, California,”
where letters were put on the fireplace mantle of the original hotel. There was no post office building in Paso Robles at the time;
every time a new U.S. President was elected, a new postmaster and new post office location was appointed in El Paso de
Robles. Between 1876 and 1944, the Paso Robles post office
moved nine times.
In 1906, it was ensconced in the magnificent Adams building
on 12th Street. From there, the post office moved to Park Street,
where it became impossibly congested with the opening of Camp
Roberts and the postmaster was forced to stack mail in the alley.
Finally, in 1944, a new law eliminated the political appointment
of postmasters and an actual post office was built. Since then, the
wandering post office moved only one more time.

The business founded by Clark S. Smith in 1893 continued at 1225

and bicycles to jewelry and locks. He married Olive Wright, eldest

PASO PEOPLE
PRPD hosting Paso’s first National Night Out on August 5
By Chuck Desmond
In a nutshell, Paso Robles
Police Department’s first National Night Out or, NNO
as it’s generally referred to,
is an opportunity for neighborhoods and their police
organizations to get together, meet
one another face to face, and discuss
ways to prevent crime. We’re all familiar with the Neighborhood Watch
Program and NNO is an outgrowth
of that. The concept was introduced in
1984 and now, across the entire USA,
on the first Tuesday in August, this
has grown to over 16,000 communities with more than 37 million people
participating. This puts NNO in its
41st year but first ever in Paso.
Mary Sponhaltz, the assistant to
Police Chief Robert Burton, came to
our PD from Morro Bay and that’s
where she learned about NNO, an
annual event they do there. Mary
brought the idea to Chief Robert Burton and Lt. Tim Murphy.
They thought it was definitely time
to begin the program in El Paso de

Robles. Guess who, with her
prior experience, got to organize the event! And, guess
which Lieutenant she chose
as her partner!
Our PD has 33 sworn officers, two K9 dogs and a total
staff of 51. The “neighborhood” where
everyone will gather is the 900 block of
Park Street. Thus, the street between
the police department and the court
house will be blocked off from 6 to
8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 5. Officers,
except for those on duty or patrol,
plus the two K9 dogs will be on hand.
This is a great opportunity to meet
the police men and women of the department without the sinking feeling
of having just seen the red lights in
your rear view mirror. Bring your children and bring your questions. With
Paso’s population at about 30,000,
chances are you’ll meet some folks
that you didn’t know before – they
might even be neighbors. The police
officers can’t be in all places at all
times so it is the neighborhoods that
keep their eyes open to thwart crime.
Lt. Tim Murphy, left, Mary Sponhaltz, and
Chief Robert Burton are preparing for the
first National Night Out in Paso Robles.
Given that, reach out to your neighbors and invite them to come too.
Neighborhoods with neighbors who
know neighbors and watch out for
themselves are just generally better
at crime prevention. This also tells
criminals that neighborhoods are
fighting back.
Paso’s police department is
pro-active and it is friendly; and
yes, of course the men and women
are very serious about their commitment to our safety as their #1
top priority. The plain fact is that
police departments work better

different things we’d like to know,
so ask yourself a few questions:
Of the 33 officers, do I know any
of them? Have I ever seen the
dogs? When should I report what

What’s the difference between a
Paso police person and a sheriff ?
How does one become a policeman?
How safe is Paso, really? What can
I do to make my own neighborhood
safer? Would a police person come
to my neighborhood for a “neighborhood-specific” meeting at one

PASO P EOPLE
Salon Roux fundraiser for Studios on the Park
By Heather Young
To celebrate Salon Roux’s fifth anniversary, owner Jacque Leonard decided that instead of the usual party
she throws, she would put on a benefit concert. The concert will feature
A.J. Croce with special guests, The
Janks, and will benefit Studios on
the Parks Kids Art Smart program.
The concert will take place on
Saturday, August 23 at 6:30 p.m.
at Castoro Cellars, 1315 N Bethel
Road off Highway 46 West.
“It came from, basically, I just
wanted to do something to celebrate
our fifth anniversary,” Leonard said.
“I thought we could do something
different, but I didn’t know what it
was until I saw a class at Studios on
the Park,” Leonard said. “I was really
inspired by that.”
Being artistically inclined herself,
Leonard knew she wanted to support
the kids art program at Studios on
the Park and turned her fifth anniversary party into a benefit concert.
“In 2012, I went to see Jon Anderson at Castoro Cellars,” she said.
“A.J. Croce opened for John. When
I saw him play, I was blown away.”

Salon Roux, 821 Pine St., Ste. C
in Paso Robles, offers a full menu of

opened in March 2009 after Leonard closed L’Image Salon and Spa
in Atascadero. She owned L’Image
from 2001 to 2009, though it had
been open in Atascadero for 20 years.
“I just needed to reinvent myself
because I purchased a salon from
someone else – it wasn’t me,” Leonard said.
Roux quickly made its mark being
voted as the “Top Salon in North

was later honored by Salon Today
Magazine as one of the Top 200 Salons in America.

Alzheimer’s Benefit Street Faire raises money for research
By Heather Young
Every year the staff and residents at
Creston Village in Paso Robles raise
money and participate in the Alzheimer’s Walk in San Luis Obispo in October. This year, however, the home will
add a fundraiser street faire to its efforts
to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association on Saturday, Aug. 23 from
9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Creston Village,
1919 Creston Road in Paso Robles.
The idea was the brain child of Dining Services Director Jackie Lighwin,
who came up with the idea this year.
She said the facility has 112 residents
and many of them are unable to attend
similar events that take place in the
Paso Robles Park, so “why not bring it
to them?”
“We participate in the Alzheimer’s
Walk every year to help raise funds for
research and awareness,” Lighwin said.
“This year we would like to be able to
donate more than just our time. The
idea of a street fair feels like a great way
to get our community involved.”
Lighwin is looking to have vendors
such as those found at farmers’ markets,
as well as, antiques, home décor, fashion
and accessories, and more. She is offering free booth spaces to vendors with
10 percent of the profit going to the
Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.
Lighwin’s goal is to raise $10,000.
“I think it’s
a really obtainable goal,”
Lighwin said.
“[But] it’s not
about the dollar amount –
it’s about the effort.”
In addition to the vendors selling a
variety of items, the Alzheimer’s Foundation will have a booth with information and education on the fatal disease.
“It’s a disease that affects all of us in
some way,”Lighwin said.“I think people
don’t realize it’s a terminal diagnosis –
your body forgets how to function. You
will die from this.”
According to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, Alzheimer’s disease
is a progressive, degenerative disorder
that attacks the brain’s nerve cells, or
neurons, resulting in loss of memory,
thinking and language skills, and behavioral changes. Alzheimer’s disease
is the most common cause of dementia
– loss of intellectual function – among
people aged 65 and older and is not a
normal part of aging.
Alzheimer’s disease dates back to
when German physician Dr. Alois
Alzheimer presented a case history of a
woman who suffered from a rare brain
disorder in 1906.

According to the foundation, typical warning
signs include:
• Memory loss,
especially of recent events, names,
placement of objects
and other new information • Confusion about time and place • Struggling to complete familiar actions, such as brushing teeth or getting
dressed • Trouble finding the appropriate
words, completing sentences, and following directions and conversations • Poor judgment when making decisions • Changes in mood and personality, such as increased suspicion,
rapid and persistent mood swings,
withdrawal, and disinterest in usual activities • Difficulty with complex mental assignments, such as balancing a checkbook or other tasks involving numbers
disease typically
Alzheimer’s
progresses over the course of two
to 20 years with individuals living
for eight to 10 years from diagnosis, on average. Many people with
Alzheimer’s disease develop co-ex-
isting illness and often die from
pneumonia. It is one of the top 10
causes of death in the country and
there is no cure for it; however, the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
has approved several medications to
treat the disease.
For more information or to donate, call the Alzheimer’s Foundation
of America at 866-232-8484 or go to
www.alzfdn.org.
Creston Village has 12 people with
Alzheimer’s, so Lighwin said it really
hits home to those who work and live
at facility.
“We are so close to [the disease],
so we need to do something about it,”
Lighwin said.
The 2014 Alzheimer’s Walk will
take place Saturday, Oct. 18 at Laguna Lake Park in San Luis Obispo.
All funds raises through Walk to End
Alzheimer’s go to the Alzheimer’s
Association for care, support and research efforts.
For more information, go to www.
act.alz.org or contact Coordinator Rayleen Moran at 547-3830 or

Village’s team for the October walk,

You have to conclude that each load
is worth a fortune, because more than
a dozen such boats have been abandoned along our coastline over the
past two years. The latest, a 33-footer,
had three big-vee outboards costing
upwards of $50,000, and that doesn’t
even include the boat.
These are 60+ MPH rigs, capable
of outrunning most law enforcement, but authorities say they are
dangerous, 100 miles out in the open

Hoofbeat
By Dorothy
Rogers
Red, white and blue remind us
of the foundation of our country,
its growth and the sweat and blood
required to keep it strong. We thank
the men, women and families here
who also deal with the results of these
sacrifices. How does this apply to
Hoofbeat? Equines and canines rarely
receive recognition.
The Pride of the Marines
Horses and mules continue to
play a part in war and conflict despite drones and bombs. Looking
back a few decades the equine heroine of the Korean War was a 13
hand Mongolian race pony. Her
remarkable story begins with Kim,
who loved his little mare. The boy’s
sister needed a prosthetic leg, so
Lt. Eric Pedersen purchased the
mare and renamed her “Reckless”
for the Recoilless Rifles Platoon,
Anti-Tank Division 5th Marines.
She soon bonded remarkably with
her troops.
The little mare traversed mine
fields through enemy fire and shrapnel delivering critical ammunition
and supplies to the front line. She
went on to be elevated to the rank of
Sergeant. “Sgt. Reckless” evacuated
the wounded. One day she made 51
trips. This was made even more remarkable when one realizes that she
made these trips ALONE.
“Sgt. Reckless” was awarded not
one, but two purple hearts was promoted to Staff Sergeant. She won
the admiration and gratitude of her
troops. The Marine Corps still remembers the little mare that didn’t
make it on the race track, but went on
to fill the purpose for which she was
born. This story gives us all new hope.
The mare was brought back to
the US where she lived out her
days at Camp Pendleton becoming
the mother of three foals: “Fearless,” ”Dauntless” and “Chesty.” A
bronze memorial statue is in place
at the National Museum of the Marine Corps. Another is planned for
Camp Pendleton as well.
Robin Hutton’s new book relates
some of the exploits of “Sgt. Reckless.” Amazon is shipping the hardcover story which is a much more
comprehensive book than the two
paperbacks which were written several years earlier.
World’s Richest Stock Horse
Pull on your boots and grab your

Photo: Big Daddy Photography Futurity (for 3 year olds) August 1924. Held at the same time/place are
the World’s Richest Stock Horse finals. Competitors entered and their
horses are very talented. This is a test
for the trainers and owners to learn
how they stack up against the competition. Many will vie against one
another in September at the Championship in Reno so Paso is a key to
find and work on one’s weaknesses
and capitalize on strengths.
Short on cash after the fair? The
entire week’s admission is free till
the finals. Tickets for Saturday’s
finals will be on sale for $10. The
NSHA wishes to honor our US
service men and women by admitting them with appreciation free of
charge for the finals. Finals action
starts at 6 p.m. There will be booths
for shopping all day.
The good folks who help to stage
the NSHA show, breakfasts, dinners, and other perks make it almost a party atmosphere. Many of
our nation’s top trainers will come
to Paso along with amateurs and
non-pros who have grown up in the
tradition. The best of the best horses
will be tested. Some will go home
with checks while others will take
home the memories, the laughter,
honed skills and the sound of your
cheers in their ears. Look for many
locals and show hospitality to our
visitors competing in this event.
The competition is made up of maneuvers and skills distilled from the
days of the vaqueros.

Jr. Nationals Rodeo
Kathryn Varian did well at the
Junior National Finals representing District 7. Running poles in the
first go she marked a 21.5 second
run placing her 33rd of 180 of the
top juniors in the country. Not satisfied, Kathryn and “Mizzy” defied
the odds with their second run with
20.6 seconds which would have
made them the seventh fastest of
the entire rodeo. A technicality of
her reins hitting the last pole when
she leaned a little too far meant that
it didn’t count. This didn’t mean that
the Varian clan were unhappy. They
were proud of Kathryn and very
proud of “Mizzy” who is 19, proved
she still has it.

Paso Robles Celebrating its 125 th Anniversary With A BIG Wedding
Historic Paso Robles Inn to host Wedding for 125 Couples
Couples planning to get married this fall have a BIG decision to
make: Go the traditional route or
get married with 124 other couples.
On Sunday, September 14th, 2014,
the Paso Robles Inn will be turned
into a wedding celebration of gigantic proportions when 125 couples
receive their vows – or renew their
vows – as a part of the ongoing celebration of the 125th anniversary of
the City of Paso Robles.
“Numerous weddings have taken
place at the Inn over the years, but
this time we thought we’d make
it into a big group ceremony,” said
Noreen Martin, president and
CEO of Martin Resorts which
owns and manages the Paso Robles
Inn. “And this is the real thing as
long as each couple
gets their marriage
certificate completed
ahead of time.”
The wedding will
be held in the expansive gardens at the
Inn beginning outside the Grand Ballroom where a
group photo will be shot. Then the
processional winds through the gardens, over the bridge, and along the
pathway. The couples will be read
their vows by Rev. Georgia Collins, from Ceremonies Your Way,
and then individually pronounced.
Next a photographer will be on
hand to take photos of each couple.
There will also be
a guest book, and a
time capsule for the
couples to add their
individual mementos. Each couple will
receive a commemorative champagne
glass, along with a champagne
toast and cake. The ballroom will
be set up with a lavish buffet so that
the couples can invite family and
friends to eat, drink, and be merry
after the ceremony.
Flowers By Kim and John
Patrick Images have donated their
services to make the wedding beautiful and affordable for guests. The
cost for the wedding ceremony
alone is $50 per couple. The buffet
afterward is $35 per person. Reservations for the ceremony, buffet, and
hotel rooms can be made by calling
the Paso Robles Inn at 238-2660.
For more information visit www.
pasoroblesinn.com.
The Paso Robles Inn has been a
cornerstone of the community for
over 125 years. Visitors have long
sought out the Inn for the healing
hot springs, relaxation and a place
to hold popular events. For more
information and photos visit www.
pasoroblesinn.com.

Executive Director
Visitor Center
Guide also helps you plan that
perfect wedding or family reunion
in Paso Robles.
We also offer our Chamber
Business Directory. This is a great
business and relocation directory
for people living here and those
interested in moving to the area.
The Visitor Center is available
by phone too. We receive the most
interesting phone calls and questions from the community on a
daily basis and are often referred to
as the yellow pages for Paso. If you
have a question about anything to
do with Paso Robles give us a call,
if we don’t have the answer right
away, we will find it for you.
Summertime kicks off our busy
season. July was full of activities all
month long. I hope you were able
to enjoy the Paso Robles 125th
Year Celebration in the downtown
city park on the 4th of July. People
have been raving about the event
ever since: Thank you Al Garcia
and your amazing committee for
all your hard work and dedication.
July also showcased the bounty
of local lavender with the Lavender Festival, bringing many people
to the downtown city park for the
beautiful shades of purple and fragrant lavender filling the air.
The always popular Mid-State
Fair saw us through the end of
July, with all the things that make
fair time in Paso Robles: the sights,
sounds and smells which fill the
air for 12 days. Once again everyone loved the Main Street Pancake Breakfast during the fair in
the downtown city park: There is
something about cooking sausage
and pancakes early in the morning
in the city park.
Events for August include the
Winemaker’s Cook-off on August
9, The Olive Festival on August 16,
and the Paso Robles Classic Car
Weekend, August 29 and 30. The
Friday Night Cruise will begin in
the Parking Lot of the Fairgrounds
on 21st Street and proceed to 6th
Street. The opposite direction of
years past and the longest the town
has ever seen. Saturday the park is
filled with around 300 classic cars.
August means summer is coming to a close, and school is around
the corner. We have some had some
hot days this summer, but nothing like the story one visitor from
Michigan shared with me. She
was a girl back in the 40’s, she and
her mother were traveling alone to
meet her father in Santa Barbara.
They stopped in Paso to take a
break. They arrived at the downtown city park (remember back
then Spring Street was 101). They
were so hot all they could do was
lie on the grass for about 4 hours.
The Voice of the Visitor Center
Your Visitor Center is busy being
the pulse of Paso Robles. Hot off
the press, we carry the latest literature on the city from the Official
Visitor Guide, Chamber Membership Directory, Wine Tasting
Passes and so much more. If you
are visiting, a long- time resident
or a new arrival, we have all the information you need.
The Paso Robles chamber Official Visitor Guide is an all-in-one
source for learning about our area.
It contains maps for Downtown,
The Wine Region and Parks &
Trails and a calendar of events for
the main attractions throughout
the year. There is information on

Meet the Chamber’s new President and CEO with big plans for the future
Sunni Mullinax hired to lead Paso Robles Chamber
By Meagan Friberg
Its official – Sunni Mullinax is the
new President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Paso Robles Chamber
of Commerce! Mullinax is well-known
among Chamber members, staff, and
the community, having served in various positions over the course of the past
several years. A six month nationwide
search had Mullinax among more than
fifty candidates vying for the position
that became available after Mike Gibson retired in July 2013.
“I just love the programs our
Chamber has to offer and the direction we are going,” Mullinax said.
“It really is an exciting time for the
Paso Robles Chamber.”
Mullinax had high praises for Zoe
Taylor, the acting Interim President/
CEO of the Chamber since October
2013. “Zoe did a great job connecting
and bridging the Chamber with the
community,” she said. “She really created some strong collaborative momentum and I absolutely want to continue
that. I also have plans to build in more
programs, focus on economic development and initiate a foundation through
the Chamber working on skilled work
force development and
other hot topics that are
imperative to growth in
Paso Robles.”
The search committee consisted of six people made up of existing
Chamber Board members
and local government and
business owners. “When
searching for our new
CEO, the Board focused
on finding the right candidate who embodied
aspects of a leader and a
visionary but who also understood the unique needs
of our area,” said 2014 Chamber Board
Chairman, Daniele Fresca. “We are extremely lucky to have found the perfect
successor to strengthen and carry forward all that the Chamber has to offer.”
“I had such a crystal-clear vision
of where we need to go with the
Chamber. I presented my vision to
the Board and it just resonated with
all of them,” Mullinax said during an
interview three days into her new position. “It is about where we are now
and where we need to go.”
Mullinax will work
toward carrying out
the developments of
the recently adopted
new Chamber Business Plan which encompasses community,
government relations,
education, communications, economic
business development
and strengthening the
Visitor Center, according to information
in a recent press release.
When she relocated
from Santa Barbara to
Paso Robles five years ago, Mullinax
brought along more than twenty years
experience in the direct-to-consumer,
marketing and tourism industries.
A California native, Mullinax attended Morro Bay High School and
graduated from Cal Poly SLO with
a degree in food science. “I wanted to
be a winemaker,” she said. She shares
a home in Paso Robles with her husband, Dave, a public affairs manager
with the League of California Cities,
and their lovable herding dog, Buddy.
“We just love Paso Robles and the
people who live here,” Mullinax said.
First hired at the Chamber as
an event coordinator, she quickly
moved up to office manager and
then Vice President. During her
tenure as Vice President, Mullinax
started the North County Business
Resource Center and also conducted
the Chamber’s first membership
drive. Taking a detour to work a
brief stint in the wine industry,
she also served on the Board for
the past two years and volunteered
over 400 hours last year alone with
the Chamber’s Women in Business
Farm to Fork program. As Chair
Elect of the Board, Mullinax would
have served in the Chair role next
year if she had not been hired as the
President/CEO of the Chamber.
“I am honored to join the team
at the Paso Robles Chamber, a dedicated group working hard to make
Paso Robles great” said Mullinax. “It
is an exciting time to be in Paso
Robles and I look forward to collaborating with business and government leaders to continue to build a
stronger community.”

What’s happening
on Main Street ?
By Chris
Weygandt Alba
On our city’s 125th anniversary,
let’s salute the orchards of Paso
Robles, which resemble the opening lines of “America the Beautiful”:
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
above the fruited plain!
Our particular fruited plain has
been enriched by orchards for centuries, befriending the fruit-bearing workhorses of the tree family
since the Spanish Mission era.
When Paso Robles was born,
pioneer orchardists like William
Gerst and Guy Heaton produced
almond and apple trees that earned
national attention. Conditions
changed over the century, and new
generations of innovative farmers
had ideas that bore new kinds of
fruit, like wine grapes and...
Olives! A natural choice for
our Mediterranean climate, olive
orchards have multiplied on the
Central Coast, where olive-oil
producers specialize in high-quality artisan olive oil that adds pizzazz to life and cuisine, with robust
flavors from fruity, buttery, grassy,
peppery, and even jalapeno.
This month, in the city park, you
can personally fall in love with the
zesty, healthy, homegrown olive.
A SPICY AFFAIR
One of the tastiest days of summer occurs downtown in the park
at the 11th Annual Olive Festival
on Saturday, August 16. Brought
to you by the Paso Robles Main
Street Association, there’s no admission charge.
From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. you
can sample the multitude talents
of the ancient and versatile olive.
The park will teem with olives
and olive aficionados offering
artisan oils, tapenades and appetizers, body lotions and health
products.
Vendors both local and
regional will feature
free olive-oil tasting,
free olive-oil ice cream,
tasting seminars, cooking demonstrations, and
a head-to-head chef
cook-off in an outdoor
kitchen stadium. Delicious olive-inspired food will be available
for purchase in the Olive Festival
Culinary Row.
Local wineries and breweries
will feature tastings and a commemorative wine glass for a $15
fee. They will be joined by artists
and crafters in different mediums,
music, and a children’s activity
area.
The festival’s open cooking contest this year awards winners
gift certificates for downtown
merchants and restaurants for
the favorite olive-inspired
edibles. Open to everyone, the contest offers
1st, 2nd, and 3rd place
prizes in two categories:
olive-inspired appetizer
and olive-inspired main
dish. Whip up your special
concoction and deliver it to the
bandstand no later than 9:30 a.m.
Judging is at 10 a.m.
Cooking contest entry forms
are available online at pasoolive
festival.com, and at the Main
Street office, 835 12th Street
(around back in the alley). For
more information, call the office
at 238-4103.

Quasquicentennial Update:
Paso High Art Students
team up for a grand mural
By Chuck Desmond
It’s a bit daunting to remember that almost two
years ago, planning for Paso’s 125th celebratory year
as an incorporated city was unfolding. Since then,
we’ve had the contest to choose the new logo for El
Paso de Robles, creation of the city flag, a super New
Year’s Eve party, a birthday bash in the park, fireworks twice, a unique recipe book created, souvenirs
designed and made for sale, special edition badges
for both police and fire departments, Women’s Day,
burial of a time capsule, and a host of sponsored
events all using the 125th as a part of their theme. As
regular readers of your Paso Robles Magazine, you’ve
experienced twenty issues of updates and some of our
history through monthly historical stories.
Meanwhile, the schools, at all grade levels, have
been busy as well. Delving into our history and writing
about it have been prominent activities. Sponsored
Quasquicentennial flags, mostly by Kathy McNamara who just retired as School Superintendent,
have been flown on each campus as well. After all,
what’s the point of history if not to learn from it and
make the future better! Translation: the only way to
focus on tomorrow’s betterment is to make toady’s students more aware – in every direction. And that, dear
readers, is a transition into what the art classes did.
Mr. Joshua Gwiazda is the ceramics teacher at
Paso High. For fourteen years, he’s been involved
with our schools. Joshua came up with an idea for
his students to create a mural piece of art. It certainly fit the guidelines of the curriculum and it
could be fun as well. Taking the fledgling concept
to Randall Nelson, the school principal, and minutes later they were meeting with Julie Dahlen, the
Library and Recreation Services Director for Paso,
and the lady who has been the backbone of the
Quasquicentennial program.
Boom, boom, bam, bam and a plan was put
together to create a unique piece of art wrapped
around the concept of the 125th. Then place it in
a spot in Paso where everyone could see it. With a
huge huzzah from all the folks who wanted to be in
on the decision, the south side wall entrance to the
City Hall / Library just happened to be screaming
for such an addition.
