The Face of Local Music - Kevin Kelsey
Michael Anthony Harshfield – 1951-2012

Kevin Kelsey at the 2012 La Honda Fair
Kevin Kelsey, currently of the Kings Mountain
area, didn't find his way to our coastal mountain
area here because of the music, but it was a
pleasant surprise for him to move here and find
so much art and music. He grew up as a child of
the Peninsula. Kevin later sold his business, got a
divorce, and moved up to Kings Mountain. He
took piano lessons for three years before getting
his first electric bass at thirteen. First song?
Smoke on the Water. (continued on page 2)
Michael Anthony Harshfield, 61, died Dec 24,
2012 surrounded by family at St. Rita's Hospital
in Lima Ohio.
Since the last edition of the La Honda Voice, we
have experienced a lot of rain followed by a long
cold spell. This photo taken by Christian
Johnson shows flooding on Pescadero Road
taken near the end of 2012
Our dear friend, Squeak, has moved on down the
race track of life. His passing leaves all of us
who knew him with heavy hearts. He will be
missed dearly. Squeak's passion was Nascar
and… (continued on page 2)
The following was provided by Michael
Harshfield’s daughter, Terri Owens:
“He was born Feb 22, 1951 to the late Lawrence
& Rosemond Dean Harshfield. He was preceded
in death by a son, Michael Anthony Harshfield
II.
Survivors include his daughter Terri (Todd)
Owen of California; grandchildren Michael &
Marcella, at home, and Nicole (Dwayne
Robertson) Owen of Australia; Brothers
Lawrence, Don (Judy), Dick (Melinda), George,
Tom (Barb), Jim (Dee), and Pat (Georgiana)
Harshfield; and sisters Connie (Jerry) Abbott,
Libby Smith, and Vicky(Bill) Arnold; former
wives Judy Woodruff and Joanne Good; special
friends Cheryl Durbin Lasure & Gavin and
Sandy Caple Beaches.

Michael Anthony Harshfield (continued from
page 1) …all things cars. He spent much of his
life working on and restoring old cars. His
painting work can still be seen around town
on some of the locals’ vehicles. Squeak was also
involved with the local music scene. You could
find him behind the mixing board at the La
Honda Country Fair, the Pescadero Art Fair,
helping out the Mark Reid Band or one of the
many other local talents.
The Face of Local Music - Kevin Kelsey
(continued from page 1) (Probably more
musicians started with that song than any other.)
He was into The Who, Styx, The Fix, The Cars
and the Grateful Dead. During high school Kevin
was mostly involved in jazz vocal ensembles. He
did some playing in church also. Kevin was in a
band or two during school but never really knew
that many other players. He met current band
mate Dave Barrow (see lahonda.com) through
mutual Dead Head friends. Their first band
together, The Baked Clams, was pretty bad but,
"we were plenty loud." Eventually Kevin, with
friends Dave Barrow and Dan Newitt, formed
current band Pathetic Honey. PH has been
playing the area for several years now and is
getting quite a following. Kevin loves playing
Applejack's and says Pathetic Honey and AJ's
are a perfect match. They just finished up the
End of the World party at AJ's and people are
still talking about it. I give them the credit for the
incredible survival rate at the end of the world.
Kevin gives his friend Dan Newitt much credit
for pushing him musically and helping him
grow. Kevin started going to the Strawberry
Music Festival and got hooked on the acoustic
jamming scene, which got him to take up
acoustic upright bass. Pathetic Honey is doing
the finishing touches on their first recording
project and both Dan and Kevin, along with local
favorite Stacey Erdman, are just starting to
record as new local band Cryin' Shame. You can
catch both bands at the local venues as well as
shows around the Bay Area. Look for Pathetics
CD release sometime during the spring. One
thing for sure is if Kevin is on stage he will have
a smile on his face and most likely be
barefooted.
You could not ask for a better friend. Squeak
liked a good yarn, and could be counted on
to keep you entertained on the front porch of
Apple Jack's (think free dentures at the
morgue), or many other such crazy, fun, stories.
He loved to travel and was a great companion on
road trips. These are just a few things we will
miss about Squeak. I am happy to say that Rusty
dog will have him back in his life. They were
good buddies! We will forever miss Squeak....
A "Celebration of Life" will be held on Saturday,
March 23, 2013, at Cafe Cuesta from 11am 1pm. This will be a potluck.
A Memorial page has been set up in Squeaks
honor at:

Please, take a moment to post stories, photos,
and/or link videos, or just say "So long!". This is

Tax Refunds, for Free
It won’t be long until the joy of the holidays
gives way to the sting of tax season. But a
special, free, tax preparation service offered by
Puente helps the medicine go down – and even
leave a pleasant aftertaste. Puente’s program,
now in its 5th year, helps low-income South
Coast residents prepare hassle-free tax returns
through Earn It! Keep It! Save It!, a regional
program sponsored by United Way. The service
is offered free of charge. [I called Puente and
they said the annual income limit for this free
service is $50,000 - editor]
The best part: participants walk in the door
convinced they’ll have to part with a large chunk
of their income. Many of them are delighted to
discover that they qualify for substantial tax
refunds, says Rita Mancera, Program Director
for Puente. Last year Puente helped 59
participants file their taxes, resulting in refunds
totaling $73,608. For a large family getting by on
a farmworker’s salary, that’s very encouraging
news…Puente is one of the only tax preparers on
the Peninsula that offers this service, according
to Mancera. “For the purposes of tax time,
everyone is considered a resident,” she says.
Artist Joyce Converse
"...That lush native greenery that thrives on [La
Honda resident Joyce] Converse’s property also
captivates her oil paintings in Penelope’s Den
gallery at the crossing of highways 35 and 84
southeast of La Honda...She has shown her art in
Carmel, on the East Coast, in private California
homes, and through the Coastside Land Trust
gallery. She teaches landscape painting to adults
on her property, where she reveals to students
“how to see, how to simplify what you’re
looking at” and how to show it in terms of
composition and color, which she calls the
“frosting on the cake.”
Her love of the land fuels her art. The more she
knows the land and the more she looks at it, she
said, “the more able I am to express the essence
of what I see.”
She focuses on “finding the quality of the thing
I’m looking at and making it visible. I feel like
I’ve brought life into two dimensions, and it’s a
celebration of that life.”
She calls painting almost a meditation process,
more about the process itself than the final
product. Similarly, that ties in with how music
colors her work as she listens to Bach or
contemporary composers and paints to what she
hears.
“You get your ego out of the way,” she said
about how she lets music influence what she
paints. “It takes you deeper.”
“I am lucky enough to live where I paint and
paint where I live, for the most part, so for me
it’s a lot about falling in love with something
that I see every day and know very well,” she
wrote in an artist’s statement..."
Now Puente
needs YOUR
help. Puente
needs a few
volunteers to
prepare taxes
for your South
Coast
neighbors. The
job entails 3
hours of work
per week
during tax time, and a 15-hour self-guided
training to get qualified. To volunteer, please
contact Abby Mohaupt no later than January 11
at [email protected] or 650.879.1691.

We are all so proud of our cousin Milton and his
wife Marie!
Milton Cavalli Turns 100!
by Kathy (Zanone) Wolf
I'm Mary Kathleen Zanone Wolf and my first
cousin is Milton Cavalli. My father Armond and
Milton's mom May were brother and sister. My
Aunt May had Milton when she was young and
my Dad had me and my younger brother, Steve,
when he was older. Milton just turned 100 years
old on January 22, and his wife Marie will be 99
years old in May. They will also be celebrating
their 75th wedding anniversary in July. In
August of 2012, we celebrated Milton turning 99
1/2 years old at Cafe Cuesta in La Honda. At his
birthday celebration, he shared some of his
stories growing up here in La Honda. He drove
his first car at age 9 with his uncle. He said he
had many chores - like bringing in the firewood
and then making the fire. Another chore was to
go to the basement and siphon the wine out of
the barrel into a pitcher for the family dinner.
His parents owned the Cavalli Inn in La Honda
for many years.
La Honda Historical Society in 2012
by Kathy Wolf
2012 was a great year for the La Honda
Historical Society. We had interesting meetings
discussing outlaws, genealogy, local murders, a
100th birthday, hunting, local gas stations and
vehicles. The February speaker was our own
Bob Dougherty, who spoke about the Younger
Brothers - what were truths or lies. There were
lots of good guys gone bad and bad guys who
stayed bad, but all was good with Bob presenting
their history. In March, Kevin Miles came with a
load of history of growing up here in La Honda;
he had a menu from the Old Mill and the price of
an Abalone dinner then was $2.50. He was one
of the summer families who moved here fulltime. In April, Bob Dougherty again spoke - this
time about the stories and photos which ended up
on the cutting room floor while writing the
Images of America book on La Honda. The next
Month, Cath Madden Trindle came to La Honda
from the San Mateo County Genealogical
Society, and she had a wealth of information on
how to look up relatives (dead and alive), arrest
records, adoptions, court records and other
interesting facts, like who owed what to who. In
June, George Bordi gave us the history of the
Alpine Area, including the Well Murder that
took place up at Log Cabin. In August, we
celebrated Milton Cavalli's 99 1/2 Birthday at a
party where he shared stories of growing up in
La Honda with his parents at the Cavalli Store.
Milton with his 10th Birthday Cake
Milton's driver license would have expired when
he turned 100, so he went down to the DMV and
took the written test - passing it with a score of
100%. But he realized that he had left his teeth at
home, so a neighbor brought them down so he
could have his DMV picture taken with them!
His next renewal will be when he is 105 years
old. Milton and Marie have one daughter, Kris,
who lives in Mountain View and two
grandchildren, Shaleece and Brent. Shaleece is a
film director, and one of her films is called “Old
People Driving,” with Milton and his Model T.
The film was selected as the best Documentary
short film at the Phoenix Film Festival. Milton's
daughter had a birthday party for him on Sunday,
January 20th, at the Elks Lodge in San Mateo.
There were over 200 people present, including
family and friends from United Airlines, his old
car club, and other friends he has made over the
years. Milton has 6 first cousins still alive - Emil
Zanoni, Lillian Zanoni Milani, Mary Jane Zanoni
Olivarez, Kathy Zanone and Steve Zanone
Speaker Dan Caughey at the LHHS
Milton remembers when they physically moved
the family house across La Honda Creek ,
driving a car at age 9 and getting his driving
license at age 14, which was good for life (and
which he still has). In September, Sheri JansenOlliges discussed her book about the Middleton
Track, called From Timber Barons to Tree
Huggers. In November, the Historical Society
presented Rita Veit Brown who was born and
raised in La Honda. (continued on pg. 5)

La Honda Historical Society in 2012
(continued from page 4)
Her father, Ralph, owned the gas station down
by La Honda Village. Rita had a wealth of
stories about the simpler times here, including
the story of a woman named Tootsie, who lived
in La Honda with her friend, and took care of his
children. She dressed in very short skirts and was
big chested. However, one day Tootsie was
arrested and it was discovered that "she" was a
"he"... and that was big news for the little town
of La Honda back in those days.
The Historical Society started out this year with
Dan Caughey, who spoke of his time in both La
Honda and San Gregorio. Dan said that
Pomponio Beach used to be called Caughey
Beach since the Caughey ranch in San Gregorio
extended out to the beach until the State claimed
it after World War 2. Dan had a donkey he rode
in his corral as a kid, but when he was old
enough and his parents felt he would be safe, he
got a horse and rode it all over La Honda
carrying a little bow and arrow. A neighbor
would see little Danny riding his horse, and the
neighbor would hide behind a tree and make
Indian sounds, which the young Danny Caughey
really believed were out there. One day on a ride
over to Cuesta to visit his friend, a Coggin, he
noticed the young girls at the pool. The girls
also noticed him on his horse, and one of them is
now his wife, Belinda. Danny also recounted a
lot of deer hunting stories and how things have
changed here in La Honda.

Butano Crest East and West, near Pescadero
Butano Crest East and Butano Crest West near
Pescadero comprise 320 acres of redwood forest,
chaparral and grassland that have remained
largely isolated due to their remote location and
limited access. In addition to old-growth
redwoods, the property includes areas of Santa
Cruz cypress and Anderson’s Manzanita...The
properties contain habitat for the endangered
marbled murrelet sea bird, which nests only in
tall coastal trees with snags and broad, high
branches such as redwoods.
Hot La Honda Sandwich
The recipe below is from an old La Honda
community cookbook. It features a sandwich
submitted by Milton Cavalli’s father, Frank. I
think the cookbook was from the 1960s. (Thanks
Karen Delee)
Driscoll Orchards, in La Honda
Immediately off Highway 84 sits Driscoll
Orchards, a 318-acre property POST purchased
on December 14 for $7.25 million from the
Driscoll family...The property includes a small
apple orchard, cattle grazing and the Driscoll
Ranch event center. The landscape contains a
mix of low-lying oak forest, sloping grassland,
coastal scrub, and a small but spectacular
redwood grove. A portion of San Gregorio Creek
with populations of rainbow trout and Coho
salmon also runs through the property...
POST Acquires Nearly 1,000 Acres in
Santa Cruz Mountains
(excerpt from http://www.openspacetrust.org/
news/pressreleases13-0117.html)
"Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) kicked off
the new year by announcing the purchase of
three key properties within the Santa Cruz
Mountains through its Heart of the Redwoods
Campaign. Two properties are in La Honda, and
one is near Pescadero. Together they total 991
acres and are the latest result of POST’s
longstanding commitment to preserving open
lands in and around Silicon Valley, including
threatened redwood forests, wildlife habitat and
watershed land within the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Heart of the Redwoods Protection
POST acquired these three properties through its
ongoing Heart of the Redwoods Campaign.
Launched at the end of 2011, the five-year effort
is raising funds to protect 20,000 acres of the last
remaining redwood forests in the Santa Cruz
Mountains. To date, POST has saved 9,700 acres
of local redwoods lands, including these latest
acquisitions, through the campaign.
“These three properties are critical additions to
POST’s Heart of the Redwoods Campaign,” said
POST President Walter T. Moore. “Development
and subdivision pose a serious threat not only to
the health and longevity of our coastal redwood
forests, but to our entire region’s ecosystem. If
we can connect isolated islands of protected open
space into a resilient network of open lands, we
will be able to secure and create a vibrant
ecosystem for Silicon Valley.”…
Alpine Ranch, in La Honda
...353-acre Alpine Ranch in La Honda features
forested hillsides including abundant redwoods.
Bordered by Pescadero Creek and Sam
McDonald county parks, the property contains
more than a mile of tributaries to Pescadero
Creek and a small pond. POST purchased the
land on December 19 for $5 million. The
property includes habitat for several threatened
and endangered species, including steelhead
trout, California red-legged frog, San Francisco
garter snake and San Mateo woolly sunflower...

Treading Lightly on Mother Earth
By Lynnette Vega
In my quest to find the best locations to
responsibly get rid of difficult to dispose stuff
(so that it doesn't end up in a landfill), I
discovered the following sites that, hopefully,
others will find useful too:
Green Citizen will also accept used computers,
monitors, fax machines, stereo equipment,
printers, cell phones, speakers, remote controls,
keyboards, mice, cords, cables and used ink
cartridges -- as well as many other electronic
devices, working or not (I took them a nonfunctioning electric heater). For a minimal
price, they will also erase hard drives and destroy
floppy's and CD's. Unfortunately they are not a
non-profit and you can't use a donation as a tax
write-off.
EPS plastic foam
(the rigid plastic
foam used for
packing electronic
devices) is not
accepted at many
recycling centers
and is very difficult to get rid of. When
researching where to dispose of this material I
discovered that a number of surf shops accept
EPS plastic and turn them into surfboards!! You
can recycle your EPS plastic by taking it to the
following locations:
Santa Cruz:
Rip Curl (Santa Cruz Outlet) – 1604 Mission St.
(Westside), Santa Cruz, CA 95060
Rip Curl (Santa Cruz) – 753 41st Ave., Santa
Cruz, CA 95062
Stretch Surfboards – 983 Tower Place, Santa
Cruz, 95062

volunteers dug a channel through a sandbar that
forms every year at Pescadero State Beach on the
southern San Mateo County coast, trapping
water in the lagoon to the east. The trough
improved water quality in the marsh, officials
said, preventing the "fish kills" of the federal
threatened species that for nearly 20 years have
occurred when winter storms arrive. The purpose
of digging the channel this fall was to alleviate
the buildup of oxygen-depleted water and
hydrogen sulfide that in recent years has surged
throughout the lagoon when the rainy season
comes and the heavy flow of water cuts through
the sandbar...
Coastal Commission Sinks San
Gregorio Subdivision

Location of proposed sub-division
"The California Coastal Commission...shot down
plans to subdivide and build homes around the
San Gregorio General Store, with some
commissioners questioning how San Mateo
County officials had signed off on the project.
The Coastal Commission unanimously sided
with appellants against the San Gregorio project,
finding it was in “direct conflict” with the
county’s local coastal plan....The project
proposed by San Gregorio General Store owners
George and Mary Cattermole would divide the
12-acre property around the shop into four
parcels and build two homes and a four-car
garage on one of the lots. The couple has owned
the property since 1978, and they had been
planning to build the new homes for about a
decade, Mary Cattermole explained to the
commission...the subdivision proposal drove a
wedge in the small community of San Gregorio,
and many of the Cattermoles’ next-door
neighbors became the project’s fiercest
opponents. Living right next to the general store,
Shauna McKenna complained that she was
continuously dealing with traffic and noise from
the popular tourist spot..."
…Last year, observers counted 235 dead
steelhead after the sandbar breached; Simms said
the actual number of fish that died was much
higher. So far this year, no fish deaths have been
reported following the breach Nov. 30..."
Wardens' Killing of Half Moon Bay
Mountain Lion Cubs Inspires
legislation
(excerpt from http://www.mercurynews.com/sanmateo-county-times/ci_22445158/jerry-hillunveils-law-stop-killing-mountain-lions by
Aaron Kinney)
"Responding to last month's controversial killing
by game wardens of two 4-month-old cougar
cubs, state Sen. Jerry Hill on Friday will
introduce legislation to reform how the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife
handles encounters between humans and
mountain lions. The bill would require the
agency to use nonlethal methods when dealing
with cougars unless there is a dire public safety
threat. It would also authorize the department to
work with wildlife groups and other
organizations in capturing the animals. Critics
say the agency has tied its own hands with
guidelines that allow practically any wayward
lion to be dispatched...The Department of Fish
and Wildlife created a public uproar Dec. 1 when
game wardens shot and killed two cubs, believed
to be orphaned siblings, under the porch of a
home in Half Moon Bay.

During the storms near the beginning of the
year, a tree fell across La Honda Creek at Apple
Jacks Inn. There were several other trees down
upstream because of the storms and there was a
concern that these trees could form a debris dam
causing properties along the creek to flood. This
tree was removed.
Death Cap Mushrooms Found Locally

Just a warning - "I live near Stanford Golf
Course and have picked two grocery bags of
Death Cap Mushrooms. This morning I just got
a note via my blog
(www.mushrooms911.blogspot.com) from a dog
owner in Sharon Park..."my dog is in grave
condition after eating a piece of a death cap
mushroom on a manicured lawn in the Sharon
Park area of Menlo Park. Please alert everyone
that they are everywhere. It was sitting in the
middle of a perfect lawn in a nice neighborhood
and looks just like a non toxic mushroom--white
stem, tannish but light rounded head, meaty.
Thanks for your site--it helped me when he
started getting ill 12 hours after ingesting it and
we went to the vet, etc.... Where he remains."
