The staff of the Paso Robles Event
Center has so many things packed

to plan to spend several days enjoying Start Spreading the News! We’ve
devoted several pages to the Fair this
month...starting on page 24. The fun
starts Wednesday, July 17 and runs
through Sunday, July 28...see you there!
Although we weren’t able to muster the necessary funds to put on a
July 4th extravaganza in Paso this
year there are still plenty of events to
check out countywide, story on page
22, or just beat the crowds and enjoy
the day with family and friends!
Plus, before you go to the Fair, I

Economic Forecast
- Positive Signs!
Chris Weygandt Alba attended
the Forecast for us this year, with
many encouraging signs for the year
ahead...“Things changed pretty dramatically this year,” said economist
Christopher Thornberg of Beacon
organized by the Central Coast Economic Forecast Project, held June 6 in
Atascadero, presented by the Chambers of Commerce in Paso Robles
and Atascadero. “I’m as positive as
I’ve been in the past couple of years.”
Chris reports, “Demand is up, but
the inventory of available homes is
falling, while foreclosures and defaults
are in steep decline.The dynamics push
home prices higher. Local home prices
are up 16-percent since hitting bottom in 2011. In the first quarter of this
year, the median price of an existing
home in Paso Robles hit $341,839
– 11-percent more than a year ago –
accompanied by a 10 percent increase
in sales. Thornberg believes the combination of buyer demand and dwindling
supply will continue to boost home
prices in the coming year.” See her full
report as our Last Word, page 62.
according to a report on the California Association of Realtors website,
“The statewide median price of an
existing, single-family detached
home climbed 6.3 percent from
March’s revised median price of
$378,960 to $402,760 in April,
signaling the first time since April
2008 that the statewide median price
has exceeded the $400,000 mark
(and was the highest since then).
April’s price was up 28.9 percent
from a revised $312,500 recorded
in April 2012, marking 14 straight
months of annual price increases
and the tenth consecutive month of
double-digit annual gains.”
In San Luis Obispo County, the
April 2013 Median Sold Price of
Existing Single-Family Homes was
at $431,250 compared to $360,670
in April 2012, very encouraging signs!

EDUCATION & YOUTH
“There is Always Enough”
PRHS Building
named in honor
of Wally Ohles
By Val Poalillo
Wally Ohles was a teacher, mentor,
coach, counselor, cheerleader and friend
to many people in Paso Robles. Whether
he taught you history or to drive; whether
he was at all your games/matches/meets
or told you good stories in driver’s education; whether he helped you through a
family issue or just gave you a ride home;
Wally was always there to help. Wally’s
motto was “There is always enough.”
My brother-in-law, Richard, now passed,
told me when I started teaching at Paso
Robles High School back in 1995, “Wally
Ohles is the best teacher I ever had. You
got to meet him.” I had the pleasure of
working with Wally for several years.
So when the idea sprang to dedicate
the newest addition to Paso Robles High
School, the 1000 Building, a few good
people got together, started the Facebook
page “I support the ‘Name the new PRHS
Building After Wally Ohles” campaign.”
Today the FB page has 2702 members.
The willpower of a few determined
people, cheered on by the community,
connected through Facebook, made the
idea a reality. Two Bearcat alums, Lila
Avery-Fuson, owner of the Central Coast
Lavender Farm and Gene Miller, principal of Flamson Middle School, became
team leaders of an unstoppable group determined to see this through. Lila was the
“will” and Gene was the “power.”
Apparently there was a code that prevented naming of buildings in honor
of people, which was overturned by the
2000+ people who signed the petition
started by Lila. Here is a portion of the
impassioned speech given by Lila to the
Paso Robles School Board.
“Recently we lost a teacher, a coach and a
friend. Mr. Wally Ohles passed and leaves
us all with fond memories deeply rooted in
education. We would like the board mem-
14
bers to join us in honoring Mr.
Ohles with the naming of the new
two-story 1000 building at the
Paso Robles High School.
“In January 2001, a change was
made to Board Policy 7310 that
was originally adopted on October
26, 1982, which allows the naming
of a school facility. This change adversely affected every Paso Robles
Bearcat, past and present students
from 1982 up to today.
“Those of us who had Mr.
Wally Ohles as a teacher, mentor and/or
a coach, would like to honor him for his
years of unwavering dedication. His life
was given to both the Paso Robles Joint
Unified School district and the countless
numbers of young men and women whose
lives were forever changed, improved and
inspired by this incredible man.
“In 1982 the policy allowed for the naming of a very familiar coach in the legacy of
the Bearcat, Coach Asa. The gymnasium at
the old High School stood in his name and
with it the stories of all the great things he
did were passed down through parents of
students and coaches alike. It kept the
spirit of the Bearcat and the High School
strong knowing the history.
“As many of us PRHS alumni can attest, we heard of all those stories of Coach
Asa from our parents, aunts and uncles,
and it made us that more determined to
study hard, play hard and be proud to be a
Bearcat.
“Mr. Wally Ohles is just what the
Paso Robles High School needs to not
only carry on a legacy of devoted PRHS
Bearcat pride, but to honor a man who
dedicated his life to the very students who
will pass through this new building.
“We are asking that the current policy
that was revised on January 9, 2001 be

Ohles Plaque. Left: Lila AveryFuson and husband addressing

ribbon was cut by Lila’s 10 year
old daughter, Abigail.
amended to reflect the BP 7310 Facilities allowing the naming of the new two
story 1000 building at the PRHS to be in
honor of Wally Ohles.”
Once the approval was given, Gene
Miller set out researching and photographing plaques from around Flamson
MS. Seems there are several historical
memorials all around the former high
school campus. He shared photos on
the FB page, people discussed what was
to be written, and how the image of
Wally should be portrayed. Gene powered through the development of the
plaque and it arrived in time for the big
dedication ceremony, May 22nd, before
the annual PRHS Open House.
Some former students posted these
comments on the FB page. “I support the
Wally Ohles building. He helped me when
I deserved none.” Travis Stemper “...in
my perspective Mr. Ohles was one of the
most loving, funny, most dedicated, and
most INSPIRATIONAL BEARCAT
THAT WE HAVE EVER HAD in Paso
Robles High School history.” Being a cross
country runner, Pepe Gonzalez planned on
dedicating his next marathon to Mr. Wally
Ohles. There is more than enough love
in the Paso Robles community for our
Bearcat Forever!
Veterinarian goes solar in a big way
Cal Paso Solar Electric is proud to announce the construction of a solar power system for Dr. David Bogenrief,
large animal veterinarian at the Estrella Equine Hospital, 8390 Estrella Road, in San Miguel.
“I’ve been wanting to go solar for over a decade, but my accountant was always telling me ‘not yet’,” said Dr.
Bogenrief. “But now, with recent improvements in solar technology and the major tax benefits offered, along with
constant PG&E price increases made for a practical environmental and business decision. I have clients come up
the driveway all the time remarking on what a great idea this was and I always refer them to Jim Shepard at Cal
Paso Solar. It was great working with him.”
“This was an interesting project for us to connect three separate installations with one array to supply his
home, water well and the hospital,” said Shepard. “He had an unused hillside behind the buildings that was perfect with a great orientation for the panels.”
“We used 136 American made 255 watt Solar World solar panels, three Solectria 5000 watt, three 3,000 watt
and two 6500 watt inverters in the systems that will produce 63,936
kilowatts annually, saving Dr. Bogenrief thousands of dollars per year
in PG&E expenses and more importantly leave him virtually unaffected
by PG&E price increases in the future.
“Dr. Bogenrief was great to work with and we were able to collaborate with him through the holidays last fall to secure an end of year
tax credit. He will realize a completed return on his investment in just
5 years.” said Shepard.
Cal Paso Solar, leading experts in photo voltaic solar systems for
residential and commercial projects, is also now able to provide grantwriting expertise for agricultural solar projects.

New Transitional Kindergarten in San Miguel
By Val Poalillo
Do you have a dream for your
child, hoping that he or she will be
able to read, write, and speak in both
Spanish and English and be able to
take advantage of all the opportunities that being bi-lingual can bring?
Georgia Brown Language Magnet
Elementary School can help make
that dream a reality for your child.
Georgia Brown Elementary School
is the only Dual Immersion Elementary School in northern San Luis
Obispo County and is very pleased
to add a transitional Kindergarten to
its list of class offerings this coming
year. If you have
a child that will
be five years old,
between Oct. 1
and Dec. 2, he/she
qualifies for this
awesome opportunity. Transitional
Kindergarten allows children to
have an additional year of schooling,
making them more prepared for kindergarten, and helping to provide a
smooth transition into Kindergarten
the following year. It will be taught
by GB veteran “K” teacher Cynthia
Mosely, who has a
strong background
in Early Childhood
Education. Transitional Kindergarten
has its own curriculum, so don’t worry!
It’s not like doing
Kindergarten twice
and there is no
charge for this program.
In addition, there is Kindercamp,
from Aug. 5-16 for new students
and their families to become familiar with the school and each other.
Marilu Gomez, School Readiness
Site Coordinator funded by First
Five California, says the two week
program is an essential ingredient to
the successful integration of students
to the new school culture. As a result
of this, more than 50 parents have
gone on to volunteer in the school.
At Georgia Brown the goal is to
not only immerse the students in both
the Spanish and English languages,
but to also give them an equally rich
awareness of different cultures. Several field trips, guest speakers, plays,
art / music classes, assemblies, and

EDUCATION & YOUTH
North County Youth Benefit From Fireworks Sale
By Judy Bedell
This year, when it comes time to
purchase your sparklers, Piccolo Pete’s
or fountains for the 4th of July, consider
making your purchases where you will
be supporting our north county youth.
The Fourth of July Organizing
Committee fireworks booth on the
corner of Highway 101 and Las Tablas Road is located on the east side of
the freeway and is supported by the
Templeton Lions and Kiwanis and is
the main fundraiser for the youth of
Templeton.
Templeton FFA, 4-H, Boy Scouts,
Cub Scouts, Templeton High Band
and Templeton Boosters all take turns
having parents man the booth in the
once-a year fundraiser that provides
programs and experiences year round.
The youth in these programs help with
the publicity and clean-up. The goal
is to sell out of fireworks before the
end of the evening on the 4th of July.
The booth will open on July 1st and to
encourage you to stop by, they are of-
fering a 10% discount to anyone who
mentions they read this story in Paso
Robles Magazine. They will also honor
any coupons or discounts offered by
other fireworks booths.
You can also shop at the Christian
Life Center booth located in front of
the Main Street Veterinary Clinic on
Main Street in Templeton. Funds
raised here are used to support Mission
trips, provide outreach activities and
help the youth programs at the church.
Run by Pastor Guy Drummond, youth
pastor at Paso’s CLC, this group will
also give you a great deal when you
mention Paso Robles Magazine.
So this year, head on down to
Templeton and support the youth
of the Templeton community. Then,
when you see the Christian Life
Center bus heading to help a Mexican orphanage, the Templeton High
School Band marching or the 4-H and
FFA members showing their animals
at the Mid-State Fair you will know
you had a hand in helping them out.
KINDERGARTEN from page 16
(50-50 model). Research shows students retain both languages and are
more successful becoming bi-literate
with this 90/10 approach.
Georgia Brown graduates often win many awards. When asked,
Brenda Matthysse, Paso Robles High
School teacher and Georgia Brown
parent and grandparent, about her
experience with Georgia Brown students she replied, “I had several students come into my classroom at Paso
Robles High School from Georgia
Brown who were impressive over the
years, but two come to mind. Emily
Grandoli and Mykayla LaMere made
a strong mark in my classroom as well
as the Paso Robles community. They
used those Spanish skills working at
the Toy Bank and strong initiative
and leadership at Family Matters Retreat with the Department of Social
Services and excelling in SkillsUSA
going all the way to Nationals; both
wonderful and stellar GB alumni to
be proud of!”
Principal Ellalina Keller shares,
“The National Bi-literate Seal of Approval is only in its second year and
only 97 of 1,100+ California school
districts awarded the seal in 2012.
There are 18 Paso Robles students this
year (24 last year) earning this award
and nine of the students are former
Georgia Brown students. For that
group, I believe an important message
is that this Seal of Bi-literacy is our
expectation for ALL Dual Immersion
students by letting them know what
the criteria are to earn the award and
planting the seed so to speak!”
Georgia Brown currently has
openings in its Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten program for
next year. Spaces fill up very quickly
for this program, so please don’t delay
if you are interested. Georgia Brown
Language Magnet is not a private
school and is open to the entire
county. All one needs to do is apply at

District Office located at 800 Niblick
Road in Paso Robles, or contact the
office at 769-1000.
cultural family nights are scheduled
each year to provide students with
hands on learning experience.
Georgia Brown Elementary school
serves children in pre-Kinder through
fifth grades. It uses the 90/10 model
of bilingual Education to meet its
goal of ensuring that students can
speak, read and write in both English
and Spanish by the fifth grade. In this
model students are educated primarily
in Spanish with the minority of their
class time in English for the first two
years and then slowly the transition is
made to an educational environment
where both languages are used equally

Paso Robles Named a Bicycle Friendly Community
As bicycling continues to grow in
popularity, leaders in cities across the
country are embracing the environmental, financial and quality of life
benefits that come with a population
that likes to ride. Recently, the League
of American Bicyclists announced the
latest round of Bicycle Friendly Communities (BFC) and Paso Robles has
been named a Bronze Level BFC.
The BFC program is transforming
the way communities evaluate their
quality of life, sustainability and transportation networks while allowing
them to benchmark their progress toward improving their bicycle-friendliness. With this round there are now 259
BFCs in 47 states across America. The
Bronze Level BFC award recognizes
Paso Robles’s commitment to improving conditions for bicycling through
investment in bicycling promotion,
education programs, infrastructure and
pro-bicycling policies.
Paso Robles has recently completed
a key link in the City’s off-street bicycle
network along River Road between
Navajo Road and 13th Street within
the Salinas River corridor. Also, a new
bike lane project will soon move forward linking the east and west sides of
the City via Union Road.
The City, SLO County Rideshare and the SLO County Bike
Coalition have initiated a bike safety training program with the Paso
Robles School District for school-age
kids that will begin next Fall, as well
as starting a “Safe Routes to School”
program.
To top it off, Paso Robles is setting the bar on becoming a leader in
promoting “bike-friendly businesses”.

The Cagliero family finds joy in a hectic summer
schedule.
For Jake, 14, and Aiden, 9, pleasure comes in the
form of two steers in their backyard.
“They’re fun,” says Jake. “The work’s hard, but for
the most part, it’s fun. We walk them, wash them,
brush them, and spend time with them. My first
year, I had one crazy steer; he wasn’t the nicest.
They try to get away with things.”
Aiden agrees. “It’s scary at first, but it’s actually really fun. You get used to it, brushing them and scratching them.” (Steers like their bellies scratched.) Along
with 4-H involvement, Aiden’s favorite pastimes
are “jumping on the trampoline and swimming.”
With cattle to tend, the daily wake-up call comes
at 6 a.m. The rest of Jake’s days are filled by commitments to the Paso Robles Aqua Cats swim team,
Paso Robles High School water polo summer camp,
Boy Scouts and 4-H. Aiden heads off to classes in
Karate Combat Arts at Kennedy Fitness, balanced
with a mix of swimming, trampoline, and 4-H.
Summer sports and Fair time is hectic, but their
parents, Phil and Tracy Cagliero, agree that it’s
worth the effort.
“At six in the morning, you’re up,” laughs Tracy.
“It was nerve wracking at first, but very exciting.
There’s a sense of accomplishment when you know
you can help your child with such a big project.”
“It’s not always easy to get them conditioned for
the fair,” says Phil. “When our kids began participating, they started out with steers. This is Jake’s fifth year
and Aiden’s first year. He weighs 70 pounds and has
a 1200-pound steer, but he’s a gentle giant.”
Phil grew up involved in 4-H, and remembers
how his family has always had cattle on the ranch.
“Now,” he says, “we go to the auctions and support
the kids.” Their Ranchita Canyon 4-H group fundraises year-round to help subsidize kids’ Fair passes,
entry and supply costs.
“The kids do presentations and learn to take a big
leadership role in 4-H,”says Phil.“They take charge of
things and gain insight in helping others. It’s also
the way they grew up. People look around here and
ask, ‘Who’s your pool guy or your housekeeper?’ We
are it, plus we have two kids. We try to teach them
by example to be productive members of society.
Phil was born and raised in North County. His
father, the late Pete Cagliero, whose parents emigrated from Italy, farmed and owned the land on
which Phil and Tracy reside and Phil’s brother Jon
continues the farming tradition. They also have one
sister, Dena. Phil’s mother is Lorraine Cagliero, formerly Jespersen. Phil and Tracy’s children now have
the distinction of being sixth-generation Jespersens.
Tracy grew up in the Bay area, the daughter of
a Navy captain. She and Phil met in 1992 while
attending Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, where
Tracy majored in Biology.
From top: Rock crawling and high desert racing
are favorite pastimes for the Cagliero family.
After a successful first year, Jake realized,
“Now I know why I work so hard.”
Adventure is in their blood. Phil and Tracy’s trip
to Alaska included sights of glacial blue ice.
Aiden shows the crowd how the mutton bustin’
is done at Mid-State Fair.
26
“At first I thought I was going to be a doctor,”
says Phil, who changed his mind and his major to
Business. His father co-owned Chaparral Business
Machines. In 1993, he explains, the company was
in turmoil and “I basically took it over in my junior
year...had no idea where to begin. I’d work during
the day and attend college at night.” Along with his
partners Ralph Reese and Mike Munns, the company has successfully grown.
Tracy majored in Biology and figured she would
move back up north. But love changed all that.
Phil and Tracy married after college in 1995. “We
rented Parkfield for the reception,” laughs Phil.
“Phil is a very dedicated parent,” says Tracy. “He
has high goals and is a strong model for our kids.
He instills (values) in them in a firm, but gentle
way. The kids are comfortable with themselves and
other people.
“We parent together pretty well and never go
against each other. Providing a united front is really important. Moral character is very important
to Phil, behind: I really respect that about him.”
“I see them as role model,” says Jake, adding with a
wink. “They get things mostly right. But I think part
of being a good parent is knowing your kid and getting to know them instead of just being drill sergeant
or a coach.”
“Our family works hard, but we play hard,” says
Phil. “We go camping quite a bit. We also ride motorcycles. My brother and I enjoy Ultra 4 racing and
rock crawling in the high desert.”
“We like showing steers, giving parties and cleaning
up together,” says Aiden. “And having dinner together
every night. That’s important to us,” nods his mother.
Phil agrees and underscores who is the heart of
his home. “Tracy is an excellent mom. She’s the
ultimate protector and caring of our kids. She has
very strong values and morals, and I hear it coming through all the time. She’s dedicated to every
activity the kids are involved in. and I credit her
mostly for all them. Just in her PTA involvement
at Georgia Brown Elementary alone, she volunteers for everything under the sun.” Phil pauses,
looking at his wife. “She’s fun and cute, and those
green eyes are probably a big part of it.”
If you want to be entertained as well as amazed, check
out the up and coming Junior Livestock showmen competing in PeeWee Showmanship at the Livestock Pavilion, Sunday, July 28, at 11:00 a.m.. With competitions
to show both hogs and lambs, these youngsters battle
to be awarded a silver belt buckle and bragging rights
for mom and dad. Youngsters 8 and under can sign
up in the Livestock Office during the first week of the
Fair for this fun event. Join them ringside on Sunday
morning to cheer
on these pint-sized
future Junior Livestock exhibitors.

Months of hard work will pay
off for local 4-H and FFA members when they present their market
animal projects at this year’s Junior
Livestock Auction at the California
Mid-State Fair.
The auction will be held on Saturday, July 27 and whether you are looking to fill the freezer, or you would
just like to support the youth of our
community, it is an event you won’t
want to miss.
The auction gets started at 8 a.m.,
but you will want to arrive early to
obtain a buyer’s number. It is usually standing room only as youngsters
Action abounds as ringmen take bids and the
auctioneer works to get the local 4-H and FFA
members the best price he can for their Fair
Junior Livestock projects.
lead their project animals to the ring
in hopes of bringing home enough
money to pay the bills, buy another
animal for next year, and, usually, put
aside the rest for college.
The local auctioneers from Templeton Livestock Market donate their
services and provide plenty of entertainment as they help each exhibitor
gain top dollar for their projects. The
last two years have been especially rewarding as the total monies exceeded
a million dollars from the sale of
market animals even with the tough
economy.
The bidding process is simple and
there are plenty of people to help you
out if you are new to the auction
process. Beef, lambs, pigs, and goats
are all sold by the pound and the
new electronic boards make it easy
to calculate what the total cost of the
animal will be.
If you make arrangements ahead of
time at the Livestock office they can
help you out with lining up someone
to butcher and cut and wrap your
purchase. Then, a few weeks later
you can enjoy some of the best meat
you will ever have and know you have
helped a future farmer or rancher in
the process.
Monies spent purchasing animals in
the Junior Livestock Auction are taxdeductible so it is a great way to help
a youngster while gaining a write-off
for your business. Times are tough in
today’s economy so consider going
in together with another business or
with neighbors and friends and bid
on an animal together. Businesses
Katalyn Loudat of Shandon 4-H waits for
the bids to come in for her market hog at the
2012 Junior Livestock Auction.
Steers, heifers, hogs, lambs, goats, rabbits
and even chickens are up for bids at the Junior
Livestock Auction. Whether you are buying or
watching, it is a must do event.
often use it as a means of promotion or
advertising and their support for this
community event is invaluable.
There is a delicious barbecue for
all of the buyers and 4-H members
will keep the audience well supplied with cold drinks and snacks
throughout the daylong event.
In addition, the Replacement Heifer sale will be held on Friday, July 26
at 6 p.m. This is a great opportunity to
support local youth and purchase additional animals for your herd or start
out with a soon-to calve heifer.
For information on how you or your
business can purchase an animal at
this year’s Junior Livestock Auction, call Jo Ann Switzer, Livestock
Department Coordinator at 2390655. The Mid-State Fair also
publishes an informational pamphlet on the Junior Livestock
Auction that is available at the Fair
office at 2198 Riverside Avenue,
Paso Robles.

Mark your calendars now for the
Thursday, July 18 Industrial Arts
Project Auction to be held in the
Livestock Pavilion at the Mid-State
Fair between 2:30 – 4 p.m. Students
involved in welding, carpentry and
metal arts from throughout San Luis
Obispo County will be offering a
variety of projects to the community
at this event.
Sponsored by AirGas, the auction will feature first and second
place projects in several categories.
Projects offered in the past include
flatbed trailers, barbecues, outdoor
furniture, and coffee tables. Smaller
projects are also offered for sale such
as wine racks, hat racks and home
décor items. All of the projects have
to be planned and constructed solely
by a high school student.
Blake Wallis of AirGas is proud to
sponsor the event and wants to help
support students who are pursuing
careers in the industrial arts.
“These are very important skills
to have and as more and more high
schools eliminate their industrial arts
programs due to lack of teachers or
space, our students become more
in demand. Industry needs skilled
welders and carpenters. This contest gives the kids a chance to show
off what they learned and hopefully
make a little bit too,” said Wallis.
The live auction format is exciting
and fun. Items purchased at the auction
will remain on display through the Fair
and then arrangements can be made
for pick-up or delivery of the item.
Wallis can be contacted for additional information at AirGas, 2131
Golden Hill Road, Paso Robles,

Whether you are rooting for your favorite team or simply want some free entertainment, stop by the Covered Horse
Show Arena at 6 p.m. on Sunday, July 21
to watch the Farm Supply Extreme Quiz
Jam. Teams of four contestants, in both
junior and senior divisions, will compete
in this timed event that tests their farm
and ranch knowledge.
Identifying animal feeds, putting a
saddle and bridle on a horse correctly
and changing a tractor tire are just some
of the challenges from past competitions. Teamwork, experience and luck all
play a part in the event which has proven
to be both amazing and entertaining in
past years.
Bragging rights and some great prizes await the winning teams and there is
quite a bit of north county-south county
rivalry. Contestants do not need to be
4-H or FFA members to participate. There
is even a competition for parents!
Cara Crye of Farm Supply coordinates
the event which does require pre-registration. You can pick up a registration
form at any Farm Supply location or
download one on-line at www.farm
supplycompany.com. For additional information contact Crye at 543-3751.

PASO PEOPLE
P Hill returns to its former glory
By Chuck Desmond
Way back when some of
our
longer-time-residents
were just kids, up on the hill
above Vine St. at about 32nd
St., there was at least a “P”
lying on its side for all to see.
I say, “at least a P” because
perhaps there was an “R” up
there too.
Paso Robles supporter Don
Dahl first remembers seeing
The P from his grandmother’s
house on 30th St. in 1952. In
‘57, his dad moved the family up to the Bay Area and in
‘63, he returned and finished
high school here in ‘64. Don
moved back to the Bay Area
for his career as a carpenter and then retired in 2010
and returned ‘home.’ One
day while he was looking at
Facebook in the “You know
if you grew up in Paso---”
page, he saw a reference to
The P. Don decided to find
it. Contacting the property’s
owners, they gave him permission to crawl down the hill to
check it out.
Don says it was a mess after
so many years and concluded
that civic pride demanded he
fix it! That was in the Spring
of this year. The wooden frame
had almost completely rotted
away and one of the pieces of
corrugated sheet metal had
been “borrowed but never returned.” All Don was able to
conclude was that the thing

was 20’ tall and 12’ wide and at
one time been painted white.
Over the years, the trees and
foliage became substantially
more dense. Just to get it out
of there and even think about
bringing in a new one, required help. Don is a healthy,
strong and robust guy – but
Superman’s strength he doesn’t
have. Reaching out to his
brother-in-law, Boyd Tackitt,
fellow church members, childhood cronies and other strong
bodies via KPRL, a team was
amassed including Keith Testerman, Cory Meyer, Mitchell Martin, Bob Pettit, Terry
Stemple, Darin McMaster
and Tony Sawa.
Using ropes and back power,
they hauled the tired old P up
the side of P Hill and loaded
it into a trailer to cart it off to
Don’s house for the reconstruction process. His neighbors
thought he’d lost it and went

project. Don wasn’t deterred.
With $400 of his own funds,
he and Boyd took a month
and rebuilt the dilapidated

Power washing the metal and
cutting a new piece to fit the
shape of the missing one came
next. Putting it together and
then a new coat of modern
paint finished the 350-pound
monster in his
driveway!
After a hearty
breakfast the “installation
crew”
was ready. Boots
and gloves on, ropes
tested, the P was
loaded in the trailer along with concrete pillar blocks

Carefully the men unloaded
the P and inched it down
P Hill to its former home.
Mission accomplished!
The easiest place to see
the Paso P is from the parking lot of the Paso Bowl on
Spring St. Look over Wilson’s
Restaurant sign. It’s also
visible from 46-East coming to town. The closest
viewing spot is the corner of
Oak and Beverly.
Do you remember the P?
What year was that? Any
idea if there was an “R” as
well? There is a tiny reference in the 1935 yearbook
that there was an “R” but
if so, what happened to it?
With the Quasquicentennial coming in 2014 wouldn’t
it be cool to have the full story
of P Hill for Paso’s residents
and those who will come after us! Send your memories
or photos to CDESConsult

Golden State Classic Car Club
drives local donations
Golden State Classics Car Club
Inc. is a non-profit organization
formed many years ago by local classic car owners who liked to get together and show off their cars. They
meet on Saturday mornings at the
Cider Creek Bakery, 205 Oak Hill
Road in Paso. They now also host
a cruise to King Oil Tools, 2235
Spring Street, once a month where
they sponsor a 50/50 drawing with
half of the proceeds going to local
charities or projects.
This year the Golden State Classics, Inc. Car Show will be held
on Labor Day Weekend, August
30 and 31. The cruise will start at
6 p.m. and go to 8 p.m. The show
in the park Aug. 21 will be held
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you would
like to attend as a participant the
July’s Summer Reading
Program Activities
Continue your Groundbreaking
Summer Adventure with the Paso
Robles City Library’s fun programs
and activities during the month
of July. Families can kick-off the
month with the energetic, fanciful, and interactive stories of John
Weaver on July 11 and then get out
of the heat with a free family movie
matinee on July 18. On the 25, why
not decorate a mini terra-cotta pot,
fill it with soil, and plant a seed?
For teens, there’s bookmaking and journaling on July 9 and
manga drawing with Irene Flores
on July 16. Learn basic bicycle
maintenance skills with the SLO
County Bicycle Coalition on July
30 and discover places to explore
on the Central Coast.
For adults, there’s an electronics repair workshop with iFixit on
July 11 and a bicycle maintenance
entry fee is $45. You will receive a
T-shirt and dash plaque.
This will be the first year the club
has put on the cruise and show by
itself. The City has been supportive
of the club’s efforts and is working
to ensure a successful two day event.
It is a huge undertaking for the
club but many members volunteer
their time all year long in order to
make the show a success.
The profits from car shows
have enabled Golden State Classics Car Club to donate several
thousand dollars to many local organizations including Loaves and
Fishes, Hospice, Toys for Tots/
Toy Bank, The Women’s Shelter, Christmas and Thanksgiving
baskets, Meals on Wheels, local
Veterans charities and many other
worthwhile local causes. The club
has sponsored scholarships for
students continuing their studies
in automobile related careers.
A club or an organization is needed to help on cruise night. These
individuals would be responsible
for standing at each intersection to
man the barricades. Please contact
Arthur Anderton at 286-7156 if
your club or organization would
be willing to assist with the Car
Show cruise.
The Golden State Classics President this year is Russell Johnson, the
car show Chairman is Gene Otten
and the Cruise Chairman is Arthur
Anderton. For further information please visit www.goldenstate

PASO P EOPLE
Quasquicentennial Update “ The Calendar Issue”
By Chuck Desmond
With each passing month, the
progress involved with putting
together the best year-long 125th
Birthday Party for El Paso de
Robles is growing exponentially.
2014 is a time to celebrate and
remember our past and leave a legacy for our children and the generations that will follow us. Even a
time capsule will be buried in the
park that will hold current memories of the town we choose to call
home! The year-long celebration
is put on by, and paid for by, Paso’s
committed residents who are voting with their ideas, volunteer hours
and wallets. The City is not paying
for this. To help with fundraising,
both Frank Mecham and Dee
Lacey are throwing in their full
support as newly appointed sponsorship co-chairs. They represent
the community. Julie Dahlen, the
Chairperson representing the City,
says, “Dreams are coming true!”
Let’s start with a short recap.
The logo is set and any organization that is having an event in 2014
is free to use it to coincide with
36
their own event promotion. To start off
2014, The Paso Robles
Inn will be home to
a gala evening at the
Grand Ballroom on
Dec. 31st of this year
(2013). Ticket sales
info will be announced
in the next two months.
The same night, a fireworks bash is set to
take place at midnight.
Another one will be
held at midnight Dec. 31st, 2014
and that will mark the official end
of the 2014 celebration. Both will
be in City Park. The actual birthday party of Paso’s incorporation
on March 11th will also be in the
Park, at the end of the school day,
so our children can attend.
National Women’s Recognition
Month is March. In late March,
Paso’s Women’s Day will focus on
notable and local women. This event
will be at Pioneer Museum. The
Santa Lucia Rockhounds show in
May, also at Pioneer Museum, will
have full-size dinosaurs as part of
their exhibition. The
Pioneer Day Committee (parade sponsors)
is putting together
some special surprises
for their big day in
October.
A Fall athletic run
called Twelve Point
Five – Toby to Barney,
is scheduled for late
October and will start
at Tobin James’ parking
lot, proceed down the
Union Road Wine Trail and end
up at Barney Schwartz Park.
Firestone Brewery is crafting a
special ale just for the 2014 year!
Hope Family Wineries (Liberty School and Treana are their
flagship wines) likewise will create a Rhone blend and a unique
White-Wine blend. They’ll also
have large-format bottles of these
wines with 125th themed labeling to be auctioned or awarded to
uber-sponsors. Standard format
wines will also be available for
purchase in a couple of our bestknown wine outlets.
Melody Mullis (Pioneer Museum) and Nancy Tweedie (Historical Society) have put together
a great 11 X 17 wall calendar for
2014. Each month highlights rare
and interesting photos dug from
the depths of the archives at the
Historical Society and Pioneer Museum. Every 2014 event that has
had its date submitted to the committee is prominently noted on the
calendar’s pages. People buy their
wall calendars starting early Oct. for
the following year. That means they
have to be printed in September
to be at the sales locations in time.
Backing up from that date, artwork
needs to be finished by the end of
August. This is July so, not a lot of
time left is there? If you’re having
a chili cook-off, dance, fundraiser,
BBQ, crab feed, golf tournament,
car show, wine maker dinner, or any
other grand celebration that begs
for Quasquicentennial notoriety,
how can you possibly miss this marketing opportunity?
Next general open meeting is
Wednesday, July 17 at 2 p.m. at
City Hall. All are invited.

Winemakers vie for
chef’s honors at
annual cookoff
The 15th Annual Winemakers’
Cookoff will be held Saturday,
Aug. 10 from 6-9 p.m. at the
Paso Robles Event Center, 2198
Riverside Ave.
The Paso Robles Rotary 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 $75 and are
on sale at pasorobleswinemakers
cookoff.eventbrite.com.
All proceeds from the event
benefit local high school scholarships. Thanks to the event,
The Paso Robles Rotary contributed $30,000 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 commitment toward the education and support
of our local youth,” said Randy
Flamm, President and C.E.O.
of IQMS. “As we continue to
prosper here, our involvement
in helping to further the goal
of an event like the Cookoff is
one way of giving back.”
“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.
We are expecting tickets to sell
out fast.“

County Perspective
rarely agree; county employment development numbers showed 4,800
new jobs, a 4.6% rise, in April, over
April 2012.
The job segment to get the biggest increase, 21%? Arts and entertainment. Who knew? I can hear
my Dad telling me not to depend on
writing, to learn a mainstream skill I
could ‘fall back’ on.
Professional employment, including businesses that serve other
businesses, saw a 14.2% increase in
employment, followed closely by real
estate employment, which climbed
11.8%.
Stratosphere
Stockade:
My decision to get back into aircraft
ownership was the result of recent
airline torture.
With the economy improving,
more travelers are crowding into
fewer planes, each jammed with
more seats and therein lies the rub,
or more accurately, the crush. I got a
bargain ticket on one of the nation’s
venerable, (read: oldest) carriers.
Planes were wall-to-wall packed,
sticky, warm and claustrophobic. The
employees to whom I was subjected
deftly combined Simon Cowell’s
warmth with Piers Morgan’s brains.
On the return trip, the same massive weather system that frappéd
Oklahoma, stood across our path.
Strangely, the airline’s senior flight
dispatchers were caught by surprise
and failed to mobilize extra pilots
or planes. They let their underlings
absorb blowback from stranded passengers. I got home after 17 hours of
travel. I was lucky.
Certain things in good economies
can be bad, and vice versa.
Airline-wise, in down times, fewer
flyers means more comfy planes, and
airline employees looking to please.
When business is booming, the bottom line looks rosy, but if you want
recession-hungry customer service,
well, get in line.
The results of a study update from
the Central Coast Economic Forecast Project, are a mixed bag; some
good, some, well...
For starters, there is some indication of solid job growth. April jobless rates shrank from 7.9% in 2012,
to 6.1%, this year. The county’s employed labor force totaled 137,000
people, leaving 8,500 officially jobless.
Compared to 2012, San Luis
Obispo County picked up a solid
2,680 new jobs, bringing total nonfarm employment to 103,100. It
should be noted that official figures
By Bruce Curtis
Sometimes it’s difficult to make
sense of the numbers, whether they
are temporary blips or a solid trend.
One way to tell is by the number
of homes sold, and in this case, the
prices and number of homes sold are
both on the rise.
Sales of more affordable multifamily homes and condos rose a
heady 70% over last year; now the
median price for a condo is $279,000
in San Luis Obispo County.
Existing home sales rose for the 11th straight
month, in the county, median homes now cost an
average of $375,000, up from $345,000 a year ago.
The end result is a mixed bag;
housing is more expensive – more
about that in a moment – and some
job segments lost employment, such
as non-durable manufacturing and
eco-friendly whole trade produce
jobs, both of which fell by 3% or
more. Taxable sales, a good indicator
of economic growth, did well in most
cities, except for Atascadero, where
sales fell 6.1%, over the same period.
The upbeat report also reminds us
we aren’t out of the woods yet, but
better news could be just ahead.
Now if we can keep the politicians
from monkeying with the thermostat; Sacramento is already pushing
a minimum wage hike.
Homes Climbing: Existing
home sales rose for the 11th straight
month, in the county, median homes
now cost an average of $375,000, up
from $345,000 a year ago.
California realtors report homes
rose 24.7% statewide; great if you’re
about to snatch up a bargain in Boise, bad news if your job is here and
you are a first-time homebuyer.
New home construction would
help; the county’s growth limit ordinance has a decent backlog.
Water Pressure: A county
committee has been formed to keep
an eye on how quickly we are depleting our groundwater reserves, here in
the Salinas Basin, where water levels
have decreased 80 feet over the past
15 years.
As a result of that decrease, a new
task force is working toward forming the Paso Robles Groundwater
Management District, one that will
have teeth, in reducing water use
and perhaps developing other water
supplies.
Kids Rights and Air Quality:
2nd District Supervisor Bruce
Gibson wasn’t pleased with an
Air Pollution Board vote to reject a political document affirming children’s rights. Gibson
wrote a scathing editorial condemning the County Air Pollution
Control Board for rejecting endorsement of a Children’s Bill of
Rights (CBR).
Why exactly does Gibson or any
politician think air quality regulators need to address children’s rights,
rather than say, parents, PTA’s or the
department of social services? Several citizens who spoke, considered
it a glaring government overreach
to bring air quality regulators into a
family and social debate.
“I don’t see that. It speaks to our
aspiration to help our children be
nurtured and enjoy a quality of life,”
responds Gibson, “no, it is not at all a
stretch.”
Nationwide, such CBR’s have
swept through local and regional
governments. Parents and family
rights groups have rejected CBR’s as
Trojan horses, vehicles to undermine
parental authority and legitimizing
prostitution, same sex marriage and
abortion on demand. Parental rights
supporters like Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council say United Nation’s conventions
drive the agenda pushing CBR’s.
When the APCD rejected the
county’s First Five coalition’s effort,
Gibson responded with a newspaper
missive blaming everyone from the
Tea Party to right wing extremists.
“It was quite disappointing for me
to see folks coming in and spinning
outrageous conspiracy theories about
the Children’s Bill of Rights.”
A number of individuals and parents addressed the APCD board
with what appeared to be legitimate
questions about why they were being asked to take a stand on a social
issue document in the first place.
Questions about social engineering
by government, lost parental rights,
even the agenda driving the move
to adopt CBR’s, were brought up.
APCD board members were persuaded and rejected the document.
Gibson characterized opposition
speakers as “extremists,” noting the
debate had been uncivil.
Public democracy uncivil? Puleeze. Spend 17 hours in some legacy
airline’s cattle class...then talk to me
about civil.

Remembering Old San Miguel
San Miguel
Reflections
By Lynne Schmitz
In its railroad heyday, San Miguel
was home to at least three newspapers. As a railhead town in 1886 the
expanding town grew to the proportions of a small city with economy
bustling. At the Carnegie Museum
in Paso Robles, I found two copies
of the ‘San Miguel Enterprise’ from
1903, and ‘The San Miguel Tidings’
from 1915 and a ‘San Miguel Sentinel’ from 1917. On July 2, 1903
Vol. 1 No. 1 of the ‘San Miguel
Enterprise’ - with eight pages - was
published by C.A. Black, Editor
and Proprietor. His office was in the
Keystone Block on Mission Street;
the telephone number was MAIN
43. Subscription rates were $1.50 per
year; 75 cents for six months, payable
in advance. This first edition was a
paean to San Miguel, filled with articles which described the town and
its surroundings in glowing terms.
On the front page, an article
entitled ‘Field of Ardath Land of
Promise’ (reference: author Maria
Corelli) gives a “...general description of San Miguel and its tributary
country...”. While noting that the Salinas and Nacimiento Rivers and ‘the
Estrella creek’ tend to run low on surface water in summer, the writer suggested there was great opportunity to
develop water at a low cost. A pump
and engine sufficient to irrigate five
acres was $450 and for ten acres $900.
Land was going for $10 per acre.
A lot of land had been purchased
for speculation by people from urban
areas. They lived here long enough to
meet government requirements and
then moved “...back to the cities...”.
But their properties hadn’t sold
even at lowered prices “...with no
advertising in this section...”.
The chief agricultural product in
1903 was wheat. In previous years,
stock production had been top
product but was in second place.
Egyptian, Kattir and Jerusalem corn
yielded fifty bushels and over per
year. Pome fruits and grapes were
successfully cultivated. Poultry was a
growing industry. From June 1, 1902
to June 1 of the current year “...there
were shipped by Wells, Fargo & Co.’s
express, through the San Miguel office, 4563 cases of eggs or 136,890
dozen eggs, at an average value, for
the twelve months, of 21 cents per
dozen...a total value of $28,746.90.
These shipments were made by
fifteen persons, and do not include
eggs shipped by freight.” Sales of
turkeys, pigeons and chickens
brought income from the industry to
over forty thousand dollars that year.
The populace was industrious and
also quite social – San Miguel was a
busy place. A list of commercial organizations, churches and fraternal
societies gave meeting places, days
and times. Dr. Wilmar was president
and D.F. Mahoney was secretary of
the San Miguel Improvement Club.
Sunday morning worshippers could
attend the Methodist Episcopal
Church (the ‘Little White Church’
on 13th and L Streets) with Pastor Rev. Thomas Hanna, St. John’s
Episcopal Church with Rector Rev.
E.A. McGowan, the Congregational
Church with Pastor Rev. Harry B.
Cook, and Mission San Miguel with
Pastor Rev. P.J. O’Reilly (he was not
a Franciscan – the missions were not
returned to the order until 1928). Spotlight

ROUND TOWN
On Saturday and Sunday, July 20-21, step
into the year 1585 when Queen Elizabeth I was
England’s magnificent monarch. The setting is
beautiful Laguna Lake Park in San Luis Obispo.
A village springs up in a forest of trees at the back
of the park, which provides a real “enchanted
forest” feeling that transports you to a different
time and place.
You’ll enjoy a great lineup of entertainment
including the bawdy and beautiful Merry Wives
of Windsor (they are hilarious), the Barleycorn
Country Dancers, comedy shows, the musical genius of Neidfyre, an amazing magic show,
juggling, a comedy pirate parrot act, Queen
Elizabeth and her stunning court and of course,
the real and authentic joust by the Knights of
The Crimson Rose.
Aside from the stage shows there are parades,
street performers, jugglers, musicians, improvisational acts, the village blacksmith, craft demonstrations and the pageantry of the village itself to
keep you entertained the day long. Kids will enjoy
face painting, pony rides and a petting zoo.
All this entertainment will leave you hungry
and you’ll enjoy a delicious bounty of food such
as meat pies, pasties, roasted meat and fowl, foods
from the Orient, hand-made ice cream, salads and
the “must have” of a Renaissance Faire... turkey
legs. You’ll find something for every taste along
with fine wine, beer, ale, honey mead, freshly
squeezed lemonade, teas and handmade Sarsaparilla to quench your thirst. There’s wine-tasting,
too (Queen Elizabeth loves her wine).
Once you’re refreshed, why not try your hand at
archery, games or join in a street dance? Or simply
sit on a shady hay bale and watch the colorful parade of people enjoying a magical day. Don’t forget
your camera and don’t be shy about taking photos.
The participants love to pose for you.
When you get into the Renaissance spirit you can purchase all kinds
of adornments such as hats, boots,
belts, drinking vessel and full outfits to complete your transformation
into a Renaissance man or woman.
Women may wish to get their hair
braided or get a henna tattoo. Men
love the swords and knives. There’s
hand-thrown pottery, leather goods,
hand-made soaps and all manner
of unique gift items for all ages and
interests. These are items you won’t
find anywhere else.
The fun starts at 10 a.m. with the
Lord Mayor ceremoniously opening the festival to a colorful parade

The mercury is rising, so the fair can’t be

Check the daily schedules for specific breed
or discipline shows during the fair. You will
need a ticket for admission to the fairgrounds,

spectators through July 28.
Starting with the FFA/4H Horse Show,
cow dog trials, ranch horse, cutting horse,
sheep dog trials, draft horse show, open horse
show, snaffle bit futurity, stock horse, sorting,
barrel racing, team roping, junior gymkhana
and the country rodeo make for a busy and
entertaining fair.
If the fair isn’t enough for you, check out
the California Rodeo at Salinas and then La
Fiesta at Santa Barbara. Highway 101 will
see lots of horse trailers playing musical venues
this month.

“We do a lot more service online

they are savvy and getting savvier. Smartphones, Ipads, Skype and
many other technologies are being
absorbed and used by Seniors, setting aside the stereotype that they are
confused by technology and unwilling to embrace it.

Home and Ranch Sotheby’s International Realty
Welcomes Kim Bankston
and Heather Desmond
By Millie Drum
Two of the top local real estate professionals have joined David Crabtree,
owner of Home and Ranch Sotheby’s
International Realty in Templeton.
“It’s great to have Heather and Kim as
part of our team at Home & Ranch
Sotheby’s International Realty,” said
Crabtree. “They are both true real
estate professionals and have been
outstanding agents as well as positive members of the community. They
have always given back and we’re
thrilled to have them here.”
Kim Bankston has sold real estate in
the North County for nearly 25 years.
With that kind of experience comes
the skills to persist through the uncertain economy, correct her course and
prevail. Two of the most important
keys to Kim’s success are her attention
to the presentation of the property
and her negotiation skills. She’s earned
awards, recognition and certifications
in her industry to include Certified
Luxury Home Marketing Specialist.
As a former co-owner of a national
real estate franchise and a great 11
year stint with Re/Max Parkside Realty, Broker-Associate Kim Bankston
changed her course and took a position
as a Sales Representative with an innovative new home builder that combines modern living with the best green
design and construction. Kim adds,
“After selling out the beautiful Vintage
community in only one year, I decided
to join David Crabtree at Home and
Ranch Sotheby’s International Real
Estate. I’ve known David for several
years and have respect for him and the
Sotheby’s brand and reputation. I enjoy
my profession immensely. It gives me
the opportunity to work with people
from all over the world.
“As far as the current market, it is evident that real estate has turned around
and properties are appreciating again.
While inventory is low, the fortunate
buyers have found that where we
live, truly is paradise. The word is out!
This is apparent in both the residential
and commercial sector; particularly
with the opportunities in the wine industry by owning vineyard properties
in premium locations.” Call Kim at

What’s happening on Main Street?
By Chris
Weygandt Alba
For her long labor to
bring vitality to downtown Paso Robles,
Norma Moye of the
nationally acclaimed Paso Robles Main
Street Association was honored recently by the History Center of San
Luis Obispo County. You might say
that Norma, for more than 20 years, has
served as the founding mother of this
city’s downtown.
Citing Norma’s “significant role in
revitalizing and restoring downtown
Paso Robles, as well as her role as Executive Director of Paso Robles Main
Street Association,” the History Center recognized Norma’s achievements
at the helm of Paso’s downtown nonprofit in an awards ceremony at the
historic Dallidet Adobe and Gardens
in San Luis Obispo.
In 1990, downtown Paso Robles was
like many cities across America, losing
the battle of “suburbanization” as suburbs and their shopping centers turned
historic downtowns into ghost towns.
Ours was 30-percent vacant. Norma
is fond of saying that before Main
Street got started in Paso, “You could
shoot a cannon down the street and
not hit anybody.”
The city adopted the Main Street
concept developed by the National
Trust for Historic Preservation: Create
a mostly volunteer community effort to
1) preserve the downtown’s historic architecture; 2) promote it as a gathering
place for everyone; 3) help businesses
thrive there; and 4) maintain its interesting and vital mix of uses.
Norma took on the mission in 1992
and she has been tireless, recruiting the
world’s best volunteer crew and dedicated community partners to turn downtown around.
With two full-time employees and
a partnership of residents, property
owners, city officials, and small businesses, the Paso Robles Main Street
Association earned top honors from
the National Trust in 2004. Downtown has seen hundreds of privatesector building improvement projects
with millions of dollars invested. Property values and demand for downtown
space have kept pace.
“Everybody working together is
what makes big things happen,” Norma
told the History Center gathering. “It’s
all the people who step up to help who
deserve the accolades. We’d be nowhere
without each other. So get involved –
the world is run by those who show up.”
Roblans have a long history of cooperation and adaption. Through changing times since the 1880s one constant
has been the park at the heart of downtown. It is a community gathering place
for traditions and innovations alike.
One of Main Street’s successful innovations, the fifth annual Central
Coast Lavender Festival, celebrates
one of the world’s most versatile herbs
in the park on Saturday, July 13, from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. You’ll find the park alive
with aroma and flavor, more than 100
festival booths showcasing the many
pleasures of lavender alongside artists
and artisans, live music, an area devoted
to children, and a plentitude of savory
food and drink. Admission is free.
Lavender grows easily here, and it’s
hailed as a treatment for a host of ills,
from anxiety and exhaustion to muscle
strains and wounds. Enjoy it in lotions,
oils, and salts, or savor it as an edible, in
cooking spices and dipping oil. Lavender-inspired delectables will be on hand
for sampling and specialists will demonstrate how to produce your own.
For more information, call Main
Street at 238-4103, or visit the website
at CentralCoastLavenderFestival.com.
“Get involved – the world is run by those
who show up,” quipped Norma Moye,
executive director of the P.R. Main Street
Association, when honored recently by
the History Center of SLO County.
One of our beloved traditions, the
Free Pancake Breakfast on Thursday, July 25, 7:30-10:30 a.m., offers
fabulous flapjacks and more to commemorate Community Pride Day at
the Mid-State Fair. Downtown shops
team up with the Mid-State Fair and
local Granges to provide free chow, but
you must have a ticket to savor. Get free
tickets in advance at all the businesses
displaying the “Free Pancake Breakfast”
sign in their windows.
So hie thee downtown! It’ll be a hot
time in the old town in July!

while making lots of dog-lovers and

a comfortable stay for all guests and
provide furry friends with dog beds,
treats and bowls. Each property has
a designated play area and pet relief
area. Part of the hotels’ pet policy
includes a $20-$25 nightly pet fee.
Each hotel donates 10% of the pet fee
to the Woods Humane Society. From
the pet fees collected during 2012,
Martin Resorts donated $4,000 to the
Woods Humane Society in April to
purchase supplies such as food, new
toys, and comfortable dog beds, cover
costs for micro-chipping and spay and
neutering, which each animal receives
before they are adopted.
Woods Humane Society is an animal sheltering, adoption and welfare
nonprofit organization based in San
Luis Obispo that annually places
more than 1,100 dogs and cats into
loving homes. With the dedicated
staff and hardworking volunteers the
Woods Humane Society has a 97%
adoption rate for all the animals who

The storefront expansion of Lori

four years to interact with
people. I’ve had a lot
interest for cooking and
educational classes on the
health benefits of spices
and teas. Now my label
Lori Foster is recognized! My goal,
in addition to creating and marketing my custom blends, is to encourage
people to do more home cooking and
replace the unhealthy ingredients and
add spices and herbs that are really
fresh and vibrant. I offer sample sizes
if someone needs just a small amount
for a special recipe or they just want to
explore a new spice. My spices come
from all over the world and I work directly with the imported to ensure the
finest quality; no irradiation or chemicals.” Lori’s signature spice blends are
available at some wineries and Nature’s
Touch in Templeton. J & R Meats
uses her blends as well as the owners
of Buona Tavola in their handmade

the business for the spices, but the teas

New Owner at Main Street
Small Animal Hospital
Dr. Ryan Ehlinger gave up the
Seattle rain and New England snow
to begin a new veterinary practice in
beautiful Templeton. After living in
the East for 10 years and working at a
large 24-hour animal hospital with 10
doctors and 74 staff members, moving to a familyoriented, small town has
been great. He adds, “I’m a
second career vet. I worked
in business prior to going
to med school. I enjoyed
Dr. Ryan business, but realized that
Ehlinger
it wasn’t my passion. With
medicine, I can be challenged and
proud of my contribution to someone
and their pet at the end of the day.”
After learning that the hospital was
available through a mutual friend of
Dr. Dan Blake, it didn’t take much
convincing for Dr. Ehlinger to take
ownership. Since taking over the
practice on May 16, the community
and patients of the Main Street Small
Animal Hospital have welcomed him
and his family with open arms. He
adds, “Our vision is to keep it as a nice
community animal hospital and make
sure we always have the time necessary for our clients, get to know them
and their families. The transition is a
good thing. Both previous owners are
older so I can carry the torch for a
long time.” Main Street Small Animal
Hospital is located at 80 South Main
Street in Templeton. 434-2002. www.

Revive Massage Therapy
“Discover the difference a great
massage can make,” says massage
therapist John Young. “Most of my
clients have specific issues like headaches, chronic stress or back pain.
Pain inhibits daily tasks and it’s
stressful emotionally as well as physically. Once we address the issue and
routine massages are scheduled, over
time, not as much overall health care
is needed and the quality of their life
does improve.” Seeing a male massage therapist is advantageous due to
their upper body strength; allowing
a deeper pressure that some clients
prefer. John’s training at the Utah
College of Massage Therapy focused on clinical massage therapy.
John adds, “There
is a definite focusbased therapeutic value
to what I accomplish
with my clients. Often
times, they use my services in adjunct with Massage
medications, physical Therapist
therapy and as an alter- John Young
native to surgery.
John’ collaboration with Nicklas
Chiropractic enhances the client’s experience with relaxing massage prior
to a chiropractic adjustment. “With a
30 minute massage, the clients adjust
much easier and the adjustment lasts
longer. Call John Young for Focus Massage, Signature Relaxation, Therapeutic

as disposable income.”
Taxable receipts have risen throughout the
county, as household balance sheets have improved and consumers feel more comfortable
with their purchasing power. Auto sales were
particularly robust in 2012.
Construction is on the rise in SLO County,
Thornberg said. Building permits issued for new
homes rose almost 32% during February 2012-13
over the prior year.
Permits for multifamily units have exploded,
surging over 400% in the same time period, fueled
by the number of residents who can’t get a mortgage. In the rental market, vacancy rates are down
and rents a little higher
Commercial building has doubled in value over
the previous 12 months, Thornberg said. Although
the retail market remains comparatively sluggish,
commercial vacancy rates show gradual improvement.
Overall, Thornberg said, “The second half of
the year is going to come out strongly.”
“Local home prices are up 16 %
since hitting bottom in 2011.”
- Economist Christopher Thornberg
The housing surge stimulates other parts of
the economy, Thornberg reported. With rising
home prices, he said, “People are starting to
have equity in their homes and have begun to
