Regular visitors to various Coast Unified School District offices may find it strange there — and a little sad — because Elizabeth Appel ended her 27 years of employment as of Dec. 19. Appel’s quiet efficiency and gentle smile eased concerns for many students and parents alike, and she kept her principals updated Elizabeth and on time. Appel Appel had worked in the classroom and offices at the grammar, high and middle schools. She began as a part-time class aide in 1986, supplementing her income by waitressing and launching her Hands Craft Gallery. She then worked with teacher Kathy Quigley in the resource classroom, where Appel said Monday, Dec. 22, “I learned so much. It allowed me to incorporate some creativity into the classroom, because it’s not as structured.” They taught traditional subjects in nontraditional ways, such as THE CAMBRIAN COURTESY PHOTO A group of first-grade students from Cambria Grammar School visited French Hospital Medical Center recently to deliver handmade get-well cards for patients. The two first-grade classes at the school made the lovingly decorated construction paper cards, and six of the students visited French Hospital with their teachers to deliver them. The first-grade teachers and students came up with the idea to make and deliver the cards as an act of kindness inspired by the holiday season. Pictured above are French Hospital nurses, Cambria Grammar School first-grade teachers and five of the students who delivered cards. Landscaping water decision postponed Cambrians still can’t use water from the tap on outdoor landscaping, and won’t be able to do so at least until services district directors meet again Jan. 22. The Cambria Community Ser vices District Board of Directors unanimously decided Dec. 18 to postpone a decision on lifting the ban on outdoor irrigation. Two directors initially seemed to favor allowing outdoor irrigation within the water allocations, but after directors Muril Clift and Amanda Rice stated their rationale for waiting, the other three board members agreed. Rice called the proposed action “completely premature,” and said if directors approved the modification, they would be “choosing to make the decision on anecdote, not data.” She said, “It’s way too early to know if this is the beginning of the end of the drought.” Clift said approving such a relaxation of the restrictions, even though strict water-use allocations would remain in place, would be “kind of a feel-good item … there’s no dire need right now in keeping lawns wet,” with recent rains having refilled the district’s supply wells. He recommended postponing the decision for at least a month. If rains continue, Clift said, the board can reconsider the outdoor-irrigation issue in Januar y or Februar y. But “if it turns sunny this weekend, and we have a 70-to-80-degree Christmas,” and there’s very little additional rain thereafter, he said, the situation could change quickly. Directors unanimously elected Gail Robinette as board president and Muril Clift as vice president. Clift served as vice president in 2010 and president in 2011. — Kathe Tanner with ulatraviolet light and other processes to treat and filter brackish water (a blend of fresh groundwater, salty water and treated ef fluent from the wastewater-treatment plant). Most of the water treated in the plant goes back into the ground to be filtered naturally on its way to district supply wells. To help mitigate impacts to San Simeon Creek’s lagoon, some of the highly treated water will be discharged at the rate of 100 gallons per minute at ground level near the lagoon’s head. Residual water, or effluent from the process, goes into a holding pond, where, when weather and winds allow, blowers are to hasten the natural evaporation process. Gruber told his board Dec. 18 that the district has been working with insurance carrier Special District Risk Management Authority (SDRMA) on that bond. According to his written staff report, SDRMA would “pay any third-party claims arising out of the operation of the evaporation pond and the claims payment will be made to a trust that will disburse the payments and defend and indemnify SDRMA, if necessar y. Arrangements have been made with Zions First National Bank, federally chartered parent of California Bank & Trust, to act as the trustee” at the “very preferred rate” of $1,750. Cambria’s $9 million water-reclamation plant — designed to provide an emergency source of water during droughts — was supposed to go online Monday, Dec. 22, but some paperwork and financial concerns have delayed that, according to of ficials from the services district and regional water board. Jerr y Gruber, general manager of the Cambria Community Ser vices District, confirmed Monday that “there are a few items that need to be finalized before we officially start producing water for the community.” “There’s work that’s yet to be completed,” Jon Rokke, water resources control engineer with the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board said Monday, “mainly their Operations, Maintenance and Monitoring Program and the financial assurance for the brine pond, which hasn’t been worked out yet. They need to post a bond so we have some assurance that if something goes wrong, there’ll be sufficient money to clean up the mess.” The water board must issue a so-called Title 27 permit before the district can operate the plant. That permit deals with how the project handles effluent from the treatment process. The plant’s process uses reverse osmosis, advanced filtering and disinfecting See PROJECT, Page 5 4 THE CAMBRIAN '#$!&"*%!)!(" '#"&")#&( '!)$% -*"%) '&(+ The Hometown Newspaper of the scenic North Coast of San Luis Obispo County at Cambria, CA.

McColloch’s list of nonprofit and service-club involvements is daunting, and it includes being a chamber member for 29 years, as well as serving on the board for 14 years and as board president since 2002. He’s active with American Legion Post No. 432, the Central Coast Honor Flight group, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Food Bank of San Luis Obispo County and Friends of the Library (especially during the latter’s fundraising effor ts toward the new librar y, which has been open to the public since on Dec. 26, 2013). He’s been an active supporter of the community’s Retires From Previous Page through cooking, sewing and games. Appel worked at the grammar school, and then the high school. But in 2004, she found her niche at the middle school, where she stayed for 10 years. “I loved being at the school with the kids, really,” she said. “There’s always so much to learn from kids.” But Appel’s life is defined as much by her outside activities as it was by her work. After meeting artist-trashman-iconoclast Ar t Beal (“Capt. Nitt Witt”) in the 1980s, when she gave him a ride home from the grocery store, “I became enchanted with him and the ridge.” Nitt Witt Ridge is a 2.5-acre property on Hillcrest Drive, where Beal had IF YOU GO Mel McColloch will be honored as Citizen of the Year at the annual Cambria Chamber of Commerce installation dinner at the Cavalier Resort in San Simeon.

He’s also helped scouts, bicycle clubs, the county Helping Hands program, People’s Self Help Housing and many other groups. McColloch is a life member of several veterans organizations. The Army vet, who volunteered for the draft a week after graduating from Dos Palos High created his eclectic residence and folk-ar t monument that’s now a state historical monument. Appel became Beal’s friend, defender, organizer and caretaker, eventually creating an archive for the Ar t Beal Foundation that “chronicled every scrap of paper,” she recalled. Some of her favorite Beal memories are about “how people interacted with him.” She mentioned one conversation in which someone asked whether the artist remembered “when you fought so and so?” Beal replied, “Did I win?” The questioner replied, “You always won, Art.” A doctor asked him once, “How’d you break your nose?” Beal replied, “I didn’t do it. The other guy did.” Appel was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Her family moved December 25-31, 2014 School, worked in farming and land development for 28 years. His jobs ranged from “chopping cotton to being operations manager for George Nickel,” who developed and farmed 100,000 acres of land. Among the development projects and operations that McColloch managed for Nickel was the Rio Bravo Tennis Club and Golf destination resort and airport, site of the 1982 Olympic white-water races on the Kern River. Since McColloch and his wife of 49 years, Irene McColloch, moved to Cambria, he has been far from retired. His jobs and projects have included: • Being ranch manager for a Vancouver firm that owned C.T. Ranch and Cambria Ranch. • Building four motels on Moonstone Beach Drive and one in San Simeon for the Patel family. • Helping Dan Legg build a couple of motels on Moonstone Beach Drive. • Working for Tom Tierney to build the Pierpoint Motel in Cayucos. • Building in Cayucos an E Street commercial complex of shops with motel rooms above. Since 2008, McColloch managed the rehabilitation and resale of 410 projects for the cour t-appointed trustees of Estate Financial Inc. of Paso Robles. (Estate Financial owners Karen Guth and Josh Yaguda are now out of jail, having served terms for their actions in a $300 million fraudulent securities scheme). McColloch said he has reduced that por tfolio to “two projects now, one in Pismo Beach and one in Templeton.” Mel and Irene McColloch have six children (scattered between Los Banos, Visalia, Corcoran and Bakersfield), 23 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.

COMMUNITY NEWS December 25-31, 2014 Elephant Seal News THE CAMBRIAN 5 Ch r i sti n e He i n r ic h s ————————— Dominant males keep an eye on wannabes as pups arrive D ecember brings the elephant seal bulls to the beach. Splashing and bellowing, they challenge each other and fight to establish who is dominant. The top seals, beachmasters, will get to breed with the females later. These ocean giants started arriving from their feeding grounds in the North Pacific along the Canada and Alaska coast in late November. The pregnant females start arriving in December, landing on the beach one by one. They’ve been feeding and are ready to deliver their pups. The first of the season was born Dec. 12. Several other pregnant females are in the vicinity, a seal maternity ward. By the time you read this, their pups will be born. More than 5,000 pups were born in the Piedras Blancas rookery last season. Males challenge each other frequently. Those on the second rung of males, subdominant, loiter around the edges of the herd of females gathered on the beach. Occasionally, one will sneak in along the edge, looking for the main chance.

Less dominant males annoying the new mothers stay aware of the alpha bull. When he opens his eyes and gives them the stinkeye, they scatter. Females will continue to arrive through February. The mothers give birth to their pups on the beach shortly after they arrive. Pups aren’t exactly helpless, but they’re skinny. They nurse avidly, gaining more than 200 pounds in a month. Their mothers don’t eat during that time, so they slim down as their pups fatten. As their motherly duties wind down after about a month of lactation, the females come into estrus (heat) and are receptive to breeding. That’s what the bulls have been waiting for. “Those are the places drivers first see the seals,” Remington said. “We want them to know, for the best viewing, just keep going. We’re very proactive about educating the public.” Remington is recruiting new Elephant Seal Ambassador docents to direct eager visitors to the Piedras Blancas viewpoint, where visitors have a better view. And both seals and people are safer. “Part of the mission of State Parks is to balance resource protection with recreation,” she said. “The restrictions aren’t arbitrary. Everything goes back to finding that balance.” PHOTO BY CHRISTINE HEINRICHS Docents will get eight The season’s first elephant seal pup was born Dec. 12.

He said Monday “we are ironing out a few administrative matters” on that issue. His meeting report said that the Operations, Maintenance and Monitoring Program plan has been reviewed by staffs of the regional water board and state Division of Drinking Water, which sent comments to the district and its contractor, CDM Smith. The program requires various actions, including automated sampling of certain flow streams for waterquality monitoring purposes. Gruber also said Monday that the adaptive Management Plan, “a really important document, because it focuses on biological monitoring (specifically in the San Simeon Creek lagoon)” is currently in draft form, with comments being made staff at the district, CDM Smith and RBF Consulting. “The district is committed to make sure we are being proactive regarding protecting the environment, and taking a little extra time will be well worth our effort,” he said. “Everyone has been extremely patient and understanding relating to the few items” that still need to be completed, Gruber added. Because recent rains appear to have refilled the district wells and provided enough precipitation so both Santa Rosa and San Simeon creeks have broken through the sand barrier to the ocean, The Cambrian asked Gruber what the district plans to do with the treated water from the plant, once that facility goes online. No answer had been provided by the holidayearly press deadline. 6 COMMUNITY NEWS THE CAMBRIAN S c h o o l M at t e r s ————————— December 25-31, 2014 Ted Siegler Contributions plant garden of opportunity at Santa Lucia W hen Santa Lucia Middle School students contemplate Christmas presents, they probably don’t think about what’s happening in their classrooms. And Cambria’s many generous donors may think of their contributions as investments rather than gifts. But the community’s generosity is truly a gift that will last a lifetime. Here are some examples. Many seventh- and eighth-graders are enrolled in either algebra 1 or environmental science classes. These classes were made possible by donations from the Cambria Lions, the Salvation Army of Cambria and the Slabtown Rollers. Because of the complexity and cost of implementing the new Common Core math curriculum, SLMS had not planned to teach algebra. But for students interested in pursuing math and science, eighth-grade algebra is important. Now it’s available. Environmental science, which is driven by the Next Generation Science Standards, is new to the curriculum. Plans for this class in- corporate field work on the Fiscalini Ranch, in collaboration with the Ted Siegler Friends of of Cambria Fiscalini writes a Ranch Preserve.

Speaking of the soon-tobe school gardens, they are the result of support from the Cambria Education Foundation, building on support by alum Joe Bania, and time, equipment and materials donated by Winsor Construction. Gardening at the middle school will not be a mere pastime. “The kids will go outside and get their hands dirty and then come back into the classroom to work on their iPads,” Principal Kyle Martin said. In fact, the gardens provide a place for yearlong, multidisciplined studies of plants. In addition to growing fruits and vegetables and propagating native plants, students will produce artistic renderings (think PHOTO BY TED SIEGLER The Santa Lucia Middle School garden begins to take shape behind the gymnasium. Georgia O’Keefe), make scientific drawings, do research and write about the plants. This work will be compiled into field guides.

The Education Foundation supported the Y’s purchase of DJ equipment. Now Santa Lucia Middle School DJs are performing at school dances, in town and as far away as Paso Robles. Dan Hartzell, the program’s director, noted that attendance at school dances has gone up since the local kids started performing. The Slabtown Rollers’ gift was used in part to purchase new computers for the high school computer lab. This will allow students graduating from SLMS to continue their high-quality video and graphics work they’ve learned through the Y.

We hope yours are filled with fun, friends, family, food and frivolity. This is an unusual season at our house: We’re celebrating Christmas at home. For the past 20 years or so, we’ve spent the holidays at the home of our youngest son, Sean, and his family. Husband Richard and I have been part of their celebrations as their daughters were born and grew into teens. But he and I haven’t traveled since his stroke a year ago. Besides that, Sean’s blended family will be hither, thither and yon on this holiday — one in Hawaii with her wrestling team and her father, one at work, one with her mother and stepfather, and the other with her stepmother. Kathe Tanner They need a revolving door. writes for Fortunately, we’ve been able to celeThe Cambrian. brate an elongated holiday season with some of them. Sean and wife, Kim, shared a longer-than-usual visit over Thanksgiving week with us. Granddaughters Alyssa, Caitlyn and her boyfriend, Matt, were here last weekend to surprise G-pa (Husband Richard) for his birthday and the festive season. And eldest granddaughter Tina and her longtime boyfriend Jesse are here now for a memory-and-laughter-filled Christmas. For G-pa these days, staggered visits are the best of all. His still-recovering brain seems to handle visitors best in small doses. Strangely enough, he navigates well through the crowds at Costco, Target or a movie … yes, there are lots of people there, but he’s not trying to carry on conversations with all of them at once, as is the case when you have many visitors. Trying to dodge marauding carts is one thing. Trying to entertain a houseful of people you love is another. Conversation can be exhausting when your brain is still Please see SLICE, Next Page OPINION ‘A good newspaper is a community talking to itself.’ Let te r s to th e Editor ————————— The other side find it ironic that John IPacing FitzRandolph, in his Through the Pines article (Dec. 4), called for conversation after spending the bulk of his piece indirectly demonizing the conservative viewpoint. So I will provide the other side of the conversation. • If you make the effort to research the findings by private scientific organizations, you will find “there is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth’s atmosphere over the past 100 years,” according to Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace. • There is no such thing as illegal immigration. A person born in a foreign country and legally recognized as a U.S. citizen is an immigrant, period. Offering blanket amnesty to all those who snuck over just sends a message that our laws are meaningless and those in line are wasting their time. • I was once curious why some high-profile companies and banks received a government bailout while others did not. If General Motors did not receive a stimulus, it might have gone out of business. However, the workforce and the facilities would have likely been picked up by ICYMI: In case you missed it, find archived Letters to the Editor online at thecambrian.com.

He’s doing amazingly well with walking, reading, talking, even doing cursive writing. Those Costco visits? Most days, he can push the cart all the way around and through that massive store. Sheesh! Some days, I can’t manage that! So, why is our local Cookie Crock store harder for him? With more people he knows there, or thinks he should know, the added mental strain of trying to remember names and carry on longer conversations can be exhausting. We’ve learned a lot about stroke recovery in the past year. It’s a delicate balance between having enough variety in his life, enough upcoming occasions and events to give him something pleasant to anticipate, and enough walking to constitute exercise and stamina building … but not wearing him out. There’s a fine line between having a down day and having real problem. He’s also learned there’s another fine line between making amazing progress and getting a little cocky, OPINION We didn’t need the last-minute dashes, the shows or parties. Instead, we enjoyed special moments with family at home, watching sunsets, the deer in the meadow and each other … careless and overconfident. Ooops! The edge of that hutch is hard when hit head-on, literally. Fortunately, no bones were broken and no permanent harm done, according to the emergency room docs, but the patient did have a most incredible black-eyed Halloween costume. Now, we’re in the holiday home stretch … decorating is done, most of the groceries are bought and most of the packages wrapped (although a few still are in nail-biter intransit status). Our 2014 at-home holiday season appears to be a big success, filled with some lovely memories and lessons learned. We didn’t need the lastminute dashes, the shows or parties. Instead, we enjoyed special moments with family at home, watching sunsets, the deer in the meadow and each other, battling out killer THE CAMBRIAN games of Scrabble and watching “Chopped” or the indie movie, “Chef.” But perhaps our most treasured 2014 holiday moments so far have been those in which we learned we really are as important to all our family members as they are to us. For instance, in a November phone conversation with granddaughter Caitlyn, I had to tell her that we wouldn’t be at her father’s house for Christmas this year, as we have for every year since she was born. She didn’t even hesitate. “Well then,” she said in that firmly determined voice that reminds me resistance is futile, “we’re coming down there. I’m not doing Christmas without you.” May your holidays be filled with moments just like that, times that prove to you how special you are to all of us. Merry Christmas, everybody!

About this time, the market moved to the present location with “nothing but positive reactions,” according to Jane Gibson. She added: “The change was made to provide a safer and cleaner environment for consumers plus larger vendor spaces.” The sole issue with the current location was that parking was moved to the Pinedorado grounds. As a result, cars had to negotiate the grounds’ buildings to allow sufficient parking to make up for the spaces lost to vendor booths in the Vets Hall lot. The issue was quickly solved by volunteer Lions who managed parking. Lions continue today to keep Cambrians and tourists from running into one another. Continued growth The market continually grew over the next 20-plus years with the addition of approximately 10 vendors during the busiest summer and fall months, while popularity with Cambrians continued. Community support was sustained by strategic additions to the market, such as Linn’s Barbecue, and institution of special events in appreciation of market patronage; for example, a Christmas celebration with complimentary cider and farmerfamily baked cookies confirmed the special relationship between Cambria’s farmers market and the community. Again, these moves must be credited to the Gibson’s meticulous mentoring and oversight. Jane and friends of the market also created and sold stencil-printed market bags and collected local recipes for a historic Farmers’ Market Cookbook. When asked what was particularly memorable from their 20 years as market managers, Jack volunteered that the market never closed on rainy days. Cambrians even had a “drive-through” market during the great flood of the spring of 1995. Jane said she remembers the “faithful clientele” and expressed that the “loyalty of the vendors was another high point.” A final note on the market the Gibsons built. Those loyal vendors are all small farmers, several of whom farm near Cambria. Many of these small farmers grow heirloom varieties and personally man the booths, ready to answer your questions. This dedication to the few remaining small farms is another tradition from the Gibson legacy. I hope you can taste the difference. Michael Broadhurst is president of the Upper Salinas-Las Tablas Resource Conservation District. He and his wife, Carol, have comanaged the Cambria Farmers Market since January 2009. James Ellman ————————— Bikes for Tikes delivers 13 bicycles to needy county kids hank you to all of you who doT nated bicycles this year. This year, Bikes for Tikes delivered 63 refurbished and new bicycles to some very needy children and adults in SLO County. The sole purpose of Bikes for Tikes is to give free bikes to needy children and adults. In the past, various individuals and groups have wanted to donate money directly to Bikes for Tikes. Although I appreciate the offer, I do not accept cash donations and I never sell bikes, but I can always use more bikes and helmets of all sizes. Most of the bikes I receive come from Cambrians. I therefore do my best to give back to needy children and adults who live in Cambria. This year, 13 bicycles were donated to Cambrians. Additionally, bikes were donated to Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County (CAPSLO), Prado and Maxine Lewis Homeless Shelters, San Luis Obispo Battered Women’s Shelter, Wome- nade of San Luis Obispo, Grass Roots II, and of course some very needy families throughout the county. I can tell you firsthand that your bike donations are truly appreciated by recipients. Last year I reported that a middle school girl phoned me to express her appreciation for the bike she received. She told me her new bike made it easier for her to get around town and help her disabled mother with tasks such as getting groceries and go- ing to the post office. She has since donated two bicycles she acquired. I’ve heard many other stories from SLO social service agencies that touch the heart. I can assure you that these recipients are all needy and more bikes are and helmets are needed. My effort is not mine alone. I want to specifically thank Bob Eldridge for his ongoing help, dedication and hard work repairing bicycles. I could not deliver 63 bikes this year without his help. I also want to thank Phil Christie, who has generously let me store bikes in his garage, and Troy Underwood, who is always on the lookout for bikes. Again, thank you for your bike donations and helmets, and please do not mistake Bikes for Tikes with the new, welcomed community Bike Kitchen in Cambria. James Ellman is the founder and coordinator of the Bikes for Tikes program. DATES & DATA December 25-31, 2014 THE CAMBRIAN 11 Cambria+Events ———————————— THISWEEK FRIDAY Adventures With Nature.

This earth energy rises up through my arms, my branches, toward the sun … to gather all it brings from the universe. I am connected from deep within the earth through the sky above. “Around me are loved ones, helpful strangers, trusted guides, watering me with affection and guidance… as much as I need at any one time … feeling my chest expand with this positive energy, my arms opening farther to gather all this goodness. If I ever wanted to feel this from someone or some place, I feel it manifesting now. It has been within me all along … I know how to let it grow. And as all I ever imagined I needed or wanted is appearing in small buds, leaves, flourishing from within, now flowering, growing, bending in a gentle breeze, standing strong in any gale, shading, feeding, serving others with all the gifts I have learned … as much as I want to. “I am one with the earth and with the universe.

ARTS&EVENTS THE CAMBRIAN D R A M AT I C A R T S PEWTER PLOUGH PUTS UP THE DUKE Ellington’s music and memory are on display through Jan. 18 in an entertaining tribune By Lee Sutter Special to The Cambrian ven folks who “Don’t Get E Around Much Anymore” might consider venturing to Cam- bria for the Pewter Plough Playhouse’s Duke Ellington tribute, “Duke’s Place.” Six vocalists per form two dozen of the songs the iconic composer, pianist and band leader wrote between his mid-20s and his death 40 years ago at age 75. Just scratching at the surface of Ellington’s vast repertoire, these songs offer a variety of styles and moods. Written and directed by Rebecca Buckley, “Duke’s Place” features a splendid set designed by her husband, Pewter Plough founder Jim Buckley, recreating a Manhattan club from the 1930s and ’40s — Ellington’s heyday. In this venue, bartender Mare (Marianne Lindstrom) welcomes regular patrons along with California visitor Jim (musical director Jim Conroy), while David (David Manion) settles down at the piano. Cast members including Roy Henry, Judy Philbin and Sunny Weston — all using their real-life first names — sing solos, duets and group numbers, performing well-known tunes such as “Satin Doll” and lesser-known numbers such as Ellington’s sacred “Christmas Surprise.” Between songs, cast members deliver Wikipedia-style facts on Ellington.

County Christian Coast Union center Nahum Hernandez leads the Coast Valley League in rebounds. ‘Even against the bigger schools, he holds his own,’ Broncos head coach Bobby Youngs said. Here, Hernandez goes for a layup against Cuyama Valley on Dec. 16. By John FitzRandolph Special to The Cambrian After losing to Kings Christian, 58-46 at home on Thursday, Dec. 18, the Coast Union boys basketball team traveled to Nor th County Christian in Atascadero the following day and dominated the Coast Valley League Crusaders 80-15. Coast Union tallied 26 points in the first quarter to nine for the Crusaders, and the Broncos never looked back. In the loss against King City, Jez Lawson led Coast Union with 14 points; he also grabbed seven rebounds. Nahum Hernandez led the team with 18 rebounds and scored 10 points. Augie Johnson and Gehrig Kniffen each contributed nine points in the losing effort. Head coach Bobby Youngs said his team has “improved one hundred percent since the season started — all the way around. Some of my younger players who haven’t had a lot of basketball experience are getting a realization of varsity basketball style. “It’s a little rough at times, and it’s a little unforgiving at times, that’s for sure.” The coach said Hernandez is leading the Coast Valley League in rebounds. “Even against the bigger PHOTO BY MERLE BASSETT schools, he holds his own.” The 5-4 Broncos’ next home game is Jan. 9 against Maricopa, with a 6:30 tipoff.

December 25-31, 2014 Tennis club reaches out to community By John FitzRandolph MORE INFORMATION Special to The Cambrian Passion is a word that is perhaps overused in the world of sports, but it accurately describes Cambria Tennis Club (CTC) President Raymond Campos’ attitude in advancing the cause of local tennis. Campos is promoting a fundraiser tennis tournament and youth clinic for Saturday, Jan. 17, but he’s also campaigning to boost the club’s visibility and put forward the benefits available to players of all ages who take advantage of “drop-in” tennis on the Coast Union courts from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. While Coast Union varsity tennis players Alexis Mirales and Jimmy Welch pounded serves and returns on Court 2 after classes Tuesday, Dec. 16, Campos stood near the recently resurfaced Court 1 and explained the purpose of the current fundraising drive. “We’re trying to raise money each year to resurface one of the courts. We resurfaced Court 1 this year for $5,000; the club covered half, and the other Events From Page 11 Discussion of the current drought, its place in recent natural history, its effects and the immediate outlook.

We are planning to resurface Court 2 next spring. Our promise to the community is to maintain the courts,” Campos said, noting that the club has been handling maintenance of the courts since 1991. Campos emphasized that the CTC is a 501c3 federally licensed nonprofit organization, and he encouraged donations from the community before the end of the year. “You can earmark your donation for resurfacing, and we will give you a receipt you can use to reduce your taxes,” he added. Maintaining the courts also involves battling the persistent and pesky gophers that have tunneled underneath them. The club has been laying concrete all the way around the courts for a dual purpose: to stop the erosion that rains bring and to discourage gophers. Recently, the gophers’ tunnels under Court 5 created a sinkhole and caused damage to the court. “It started caving in, but the school helped us out with some blacktop.” A key focus for the CTC is to introduce tennis to elementary and middle school students, Campos pointed out. “We’re trying to encourage them to come out with their families and their friends anytime they want to. We also support high school tennis. “We also partner up with the Cambria Youth Athletic Association; they are helping our tennis club reach out to younger kids.” Those younger kids who learn tennis will create the core of a feeder program for high school tennis, Campos concluded.
