Drama begins big

push for festival

By Allyson OkenOf Templeton Life

TEMPLETON — June brings the Templeton High School Drama cast of “Little Shop of Horrors” another month closer to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, hosting children’s workshops, dinner auctions and the debut of the show to finish raising the final $50,000 needed to travel to Scotland for the big show.

Drama teacher and Templeton Performing Arts Center director Catherine Kingsbury said the students have been working hard to reach their goal and the Theatre Marketing Class has come up with some opportunities for people to help.

“We will be hosting a children’s workshop with our advanced drama students leading second- through sixth-graders in drama exercises and more on June 13-16,” Kingsbury said. “Then June 11, we will host our dinner auction at the Templeton American Legion Hall, where the cast of ‘Little Shop’ will perform select works from the outstanding musical and we hope that both will help us meet our goal.”

Children’s workshops will be hosted at the TPAC from 9 a.m. to noon for second through sixth grade and require advanced registration by emailing, [email protected]. The dinner at the Templeton American Legion Hall will begin at 6 p.m. on June 11. To purchase advanced tickets at a cost of $30 per person, visit Isohdt.bpt.me.

TEMPLETON — A total of $51,000 in scholarships was awarded at the Templeton High School Senior Scholarship Night on May 17. In all 19 seniors received scholarships from 24 different community and school affiliated groups.

Payal Patel, Ajar Kerey, Kayla Cooper, Brooke Ferrari and Caitlin Hopkins received the largest sums of all the students — a total of $34,000.

The event was at the Templeton Performing Arts Center.

“We are so fortunate to thane the support of all of these service groups and educational support groups helping these deserving students find the funds to succeed in the next step of their lives, college and carrier. A huge thank you to all that made this night

such a success for our students,” said THS scholarship co-ordinator Teresa Scott.

At the culmination of the event each student stood and told the audience of family and friends, where they plan to attend college and what they plan to study — some going as far as New York to study clothing design and musical theater and others looking to excel in the fields of science and mathematics. The diversity and success of each student was well received by the audience.

The Templeton High School graduation will be held at 7 p.m. on June 7 at the THS football field.

This and ThatThis and That

By Barbie Butz

Father’s Day is June 19 and what better way to celebrate “Dad” than serving him brunch. This will give

him a chance to sleep-in, enjoy a leisurely breakfast/lunch with no stress about being somewhere at a certain time.

These wonderful grilled sandwiches contain ham, gooey cheese, and a green vegetable that is a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as potassium, calcium and iron.

The green vegetable is Rapini (com-monly marketed in the U.S. as broccoli raab or rabe), a green cruciferous vegeta-ble. The edible parts are the leaves, buds, and stems. The buds somewhat resemble broccoli but do not form a large head. I have seen this vegetable at the Farmer’s Markets, locally.

To make the sandwich you must first make a Parmesan White Sauce using the following recipe.

Parmesan White SauceIngredients:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter½ shallot, finely diced (2 tablespoons)2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

¾ cup whole milk¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheeseCoarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions:Heat butter in a small saucepan over

medium heat. Add shallot; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 2 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Slowly add milk and cook, stirring until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside to assemble sand-wiches.

Grilled Ham-And-Broccoli-Rabe Sandwiches

Ingredients:1 bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed Coarse salt1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil1 clove garlic, thinly sliced2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fig jam8 slices best-quality white bread1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Dijon mus-tard8 ounces Fontina, thinly sliced8 ounces sliced ham

Unsalted butter, room temperature for brushing½ cup Parmesan White Sauce1 cup Gruyere, grated

Directions:Blanch broccoli rabe in batches in a pot

of salted boiling water until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain.

Heat oil in a large skillet over me-dium heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add broccoli rabe; cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Season with salt. Let cool slightly, and finely chop.

For each sandwich, spread 2 teaspoons fig jam on one bread slice and 1 teaspoon mustard on another .Layer one slice with cheese, broccoli rabe, and ham, dividing evenly. Close sandwich; brush each side with butter.

Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet, top each sandwich with2 tablespoons Parmesan White Sauce and ¼ cup grated Gruyere and bake at 450 degrees until browned and bubbling, about 10 minutes.

Notes:1. Aunt Penny’s canned white sauce

found in the grocery store can be substi-tuted for the Parmesan White Sauce by

simply heating it and adding the Parmesan cheese.

2. Here’s an alternative to Step number 4 above. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches in batches until golden brown, flipping once, about 3 minutes per side. Eliminate the Parmesan White Sauce, but sprinkle on the grated Gruyere, and place under the broiler just long enough to melt the cheese to a golden color.

3. When the sandwiches are baked in Step number 4 top each one with a fried egg to make a complete breakfast serving.

Substitute well-drained chopped spinach for broccoli rabe.

Here’s a recipe for a nice summer salad when the tomatoes are ready on the vine. It would make a nice addition to any brunch.

Fresh Tomato-Onion Salad

Ingredients:2 medium red tomatoes, cut into bite-size wedges2 medium yellow tomatoes, cut into bite-size wedges½ small onion, sliced2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh basil1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

Dressing:1 ½ teaspoon red-wine vinegar1/8 teaspoon salt1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil

Directions:In a large bowl, toss salad ingredients to

mix. In a small bowl, mix dressing ingre-dients except oil. Slowly add oil, beating with a wire whisk until well blended. Pour dressing over salad; toss to coat.

Add a light pasta salad to your brunch menu and top it off with a bowl of fresh fruit served with a slice of pound cake. Now you’re ready to “wake up” Dad and say “Happy Father’s Day!

Cheers!

Templeton CSD Fire Dept. reminds people to follow weed abatement schedule

Contributed Article

All properties within the Templeton Community Services District boundaries, including yards and lots, must be cleared of all combustible vegetation, such as dead leaves, weeds, brush, and tree limbs beginning May 1 through Nov. 30. Property owners are also asked to remove excess trash, wood or other combustibles from their property to keep it fire-safe.

Due to the late spring rains there will be an increase in vegetation which can become a potential fire hazard as it dries. Therefore, property owners are asked to plan on multiple cuttings this year to keep grasses and weeds down to fire-safe levels. Below are some of the key weed abatement requirements.

• Do not mow after 10 a.m. if the temperature exceeds 80 degrees.

• Mowers must be set at a maximum height of three inches unless conditions require a greater height.

• All equipment used for weed abatement work must be equipped with proper spark arresters, mufflers, etc.

• A fire extinguisher of pressurized-water or back-pump type is required on equipment for immediate accessibility and use.

• Property owners are responsible for weeds from the center line of the public road and through their entire property.

• Parcels that are three acres or less in size must be mowed or disked completely. Parcels 3 acres or larger must have at a minimum a soil firebreak around

the perimeter and cross breaks at intervals breaking each block in no greater than 1 acre (or as directed by the Fire Department). Firebreaks shall be a minimum of 30-feet in width at perimeters and cross breaks and 50-feet minimum around structures. Down slope clearances from structures shall be a minimum of 100 feet. Clearances around and under oak trees shall be a minimum of 30 feet.

To learn more about maintaining a defensible space go to: readyforwildfire.org/get-ready/creating-defensible-space/

The Templeton Fire Department thanks all participants for helping to make Templeton a fire-safe community.

For more information, contact Fire Capt. Tony Broom during regular business hours at 434-4912.

Templeton Life - June 2016 - 3


TEMPLETON — Templeton Hills Seventh Day Adventist School, a faith-based K-8 institution, is having an open house from 3 to 5 p.m. on Aug. 7. Open registration takes place now through August for the fall semester.

The school is under new leadership with Principal Steve Champion and wife and teacher Zlata Champion working together to offer a faith-based curriculum with a focus on small class sizes and individualized education.

Steve has over 12 years of teaching experience under his belt and has a bachelor’s in Elementary Education with a concentration in science and mathematics from the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay.

“My greatest joy as a teacher is being able to watch our students develop and grow mentally emotionally and spiritually and marvel in God’s glory and all that is given to us through his love,” Steve said.

Zlata, who teaches kindergarten and first grade at the school, said that she likes to share ideals and help students learn how to interact with each other respectfully as an introduction to the faith. She said introducing the morality of the faith is the first step to enabling

a child to understand how faith fits into everyday life and how people learn.

“It is really a joy working with all of our students at this little school and I feel the environment is perfect for young minds that are beginning to explore their faith,” Zlata said. “We really don’t get into the deeper aspects of our faith until the children are a bit older and can understand the ideas and meaning behind them.”

The school is under the director of a board of directors, who organize community events and bring both the church and the school together to create

a community and family experience at both.

Board member and parent outreach co-ordinator Lisa Edwards hosted the school’s first bike-a-thon on May 22. Each student raised donations from family and friends to ride a certain number of laps around the Atascadero Lake. For some of the students this was the first time on a bike and for others it was a race to the finish.

“We hosted this event to expand our programing and the students will be able to choose what we do with some of the funds from field trip options to equipment they would like to have on campus,” Edwards said. “This is what the school does best, bringing church and school together, and thanks to the efforts of the Champions we are seeing great success.”

The school requests that anyone interested in touring the school or learning more, call 434-1638 or visit templetonhillsadventist.com.

provided by THS drama students as your last chance for a sneak preview of ‘Little Shop’ before the official showings in July,” Kingsbury said. “The menu includes vegetarian and meat lasagna, Caesar salad, fruit and garlic bread.”

To specify the meal option, contact Templeton Drama Boosters by calling 591-4770 or e-mail [email protected].

Kingsbury went on to say that the “Little

Shop of Horrors” show is already selling tickets for the following dates July 15 at 7 p.m and July 16 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. The cost for tickets is $15 for students or seniors and $20 for general admission. To purchase advanced tickets, visit Isohdt.bpt.me.

‘LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS’ “Little Shop of Horrors” began as an off

Broadway play in 1982, made famous by

the Roger Corman film in 1986 and was adapted into a musical by original writer Howard Ashman with music written by Alan Menken.

The story begins in a florist shop in New York owned by Mr. Mushnik played by student Nick Talarico. The store clerk, Seymour Krelborn, is the play’s main character and is being played by student Isaac Capp. Capp after doing some in-depth character study discovered his inner Seymour, a loveable, neurotic, schmo with a yen for Audrey II the man-eating plant.

“I feel like Seymour’s personality is very different from mine,” Capp said. “He is very much the product of his environment, he is a pushover, geeky and shy. I sat down and thought about how I would develop the character looking at mannerisms, accent and observing other actors who have played the role. I want to be a different kind of Seymour, not just the classic self-deprecating protagonist, but one with some attitude.”

This hungry, singing, man-eating plan is named for Seymour’s unrequited love, Audrey, played by student Sofia Talarico, who said, “I can’t wait to go to the Fringe Festival and be a part of this amazing experience.”

Sofia’s counterpoint on stage, Audrey II, will be played by two actors. The voice will be played by Ethan LaCaro and Brett Ogburn will play the plant itself. These two have been working to get the timing of dialogue and plant movement in sink. Both said they are excited to be making their first trip out of the country.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is one of the largest arts festival in the world and takes place every August for three weeks in Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city. Fringe dates back to 1947, when eight theatre groups turned up uninvited to perform at the then newly formed Edinburgh International Festival, an initiative created to celebrate and enrich European cultural life in the wake of the World War II. According to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe web page there were 50,459 performances of 3,314 shows in 313 venues last year.

Attending one of the fundraisers will help the THS Drama students attend this festival and experience traveling abroad. Anyone can make donations by contacting Kingsbury at [email protected] and to see a schedule of shows, visit templetonhs.schoolloop.com/PAC.

The Bills are Adrian Dolan on fiddle, accordion, piano and vocals; Marc Atkinson on mandolin, guitar and vocals; Chris Frye on guitar and lead vocals; Richard Moody on the three v’s violin, viola and vocals; and Scott White on upright bass and vocals.

Both Dolan and Frye said the band was ecstatic to be sharing their new album, “Trail of Tales,” released in March of this year, with the Central Coast in particular because of their connection to the venue at Castoro Cellars.

“We have been playing at Castoro for years and have become really great friends with the owners and are really excited that this year we are returning to perform at Beaverstock,” Frye said. “The new album is really going in the direction we intended with all of us collaborating and writing the music and lyrics in congress. It is probably the most cohesive album we have ever created as well as the most diverse.”

“Trail of Tales” features 14 original tracks, a first-time happening in this band’s long standing career, and really takes people on a ride from experiences life

offers these musicians to the varied musical inspirations each bring to the table.

The songs, “You Don’t Know What Trouble Is,” and the title track, “Trail of Tales,” run along the same vein, both telling stories of life from an observer’s perspective.

Dolan, who is the most recent addition to the band, said the album was a jump forward for the group.

“We all worked together to create an album that didn’t just move from one song to the next. The intent was to make each song an individual experience, but still be able to put it all together in the end to make a dynamic and cohesive work,” Dolan said. “The interesting thing was that it all came together in a sort of seamless way.”

The Bills are known for their Canadian folk, roots, rock-style, incorporating many styles from Ozark Mountain bluegrass to Celtic fiddle and bowed bass influences and even a little eastern European flavor, varied guitar styles and the addition of the accordion. They have also branched out to perform more songs, singing in harmony, adding to the fullness of the sound that will ring over the vineyard at Castoro Cellars for the show.

Tickets will be sold in advance for $22 per person and can be purchased by visiting, castorocellars.com or slofolks.org. To listen to The Bills new album and learn more about the band, visit thebills.ca.

TEMPLETON — Standing center stage on the mound of the last surviving North County team still battling through CIF, Templeton High School freshman pitcher Ashley Daugherty torched the visiting Barstow Aztecs with 13 strikeouts, and went yard in the bottom of the sixth inning to punctuate the Eagles’ 9-0 win on May 24 at Vineyard Athletic Park.

“We are starting to peak at the right time,” THS head coach Henry Valaau said. “The last few games, all the hitters have been getting hits. It is exciting to see that happening. They have worked hard for it.”

It was a battle of freshmen pitchers, as Barstow’s Heather Shipley went inning for inning against Templeton’s ace.

Daugherty opened the game with two strikeouts, and retired the first three batters. Shipley answered by retiring three Eagles in the bottom of the first.

The dueling defenses dominated, and the game looked to be a battle between which team would crack.

Heading into the sixth inning, the game was tied 0-0, as both teams struggled to get a runner into scoring position.

Daugherty struck first two Aztec batters, and the third batter flied out to center field.

In the bottom of the Aztecs were the first to blink, and THS junior Makayla Jo Zundal smacked a standup double over the head of Barstow’s center fielder as the home crowd woke up with a roar as Daugherty came up to the plate with Zundal in scoring position.

Facing a full count after taking the first two pitches as strikes looking, Daugherty connected for a hard grounder that bounced past a diving shortstop, up into center field. The crowd went wild again, with Zundal making third base with no outs to all but guarantee he first score of the game.

One of Templeton’s best hitters, THS sophomore Katie Murphee came to the plate, and she was walked to load the bases.

Loading the bases with a runner on third is used to give the defense control of the baserunners by taking away ambiguity on defense and make the play at home a force out.

With a tie game, and only one more chance on offense, the Aztecs tried to keep the Eagles from making that first cut.

THS designated hitter, senior Sydney Barlogio made the first cut, batting in Zundal, and five more Templeton batters took hacks at a broken Shipley, and a 9-run scoring binge ended with Daugherty’s grand slam homer.

Sophomore Ashley Ingle, senior Kaitlyn Doty, sophomore Kat Cline, senior Brooke Ferrari, Zundal again, and then Daugherty, bludgeoned Shipley and picked apart the Aztec defense to put the game away.

Barlogio grounded out in her second at bat, and the Aztecs finally cooled the Eagles’ jets to escape the inning.

The Aztecs’ last stand came in the top of the seventh, and Daugherty closed out

Templeton’s second-round CIF Southern Section Division 5 game for the 9-0 victory.

In seven innings, Daugherty faced 22 batters, threw 70 pitches, gave up two hits, and walked one batter. She batted 2-for-4, hitting four RBI and scoring twice.

“As a coach it is nice to sit on the bucket and enjoy all this, but I have to give it to my pitcher,” Valaau said.

Ferrari hit two RBI on a 1-for-3 performance. Doty, Barlogio, and Ingle each hit an RBI during the sixth-inning charge.

Over the last few weeks, the Eagles’ offense has found its targets.

“Murphee was getting hits, but nothing like what she has been putting out lately,” Valaau said. “She has been crushing the ball more than she has in a long time.”

First-round action took place on May 20, when the Eagles hosted Pomona Catholic High School and served the PCHS Pacers a 13-0, 5-inning run-rule defeat. Murphee went 2-for-2, putting both hits over the fence for four RBI and three runs.

“You gotta fight until the end,” Murphee said. “You don’t quit in the middle if you know you are going to win. They can always come back.”

Valaau was pleased with the effort, and the performance from his team.

“She and Daugherty have this little game of home run derby at night,” Valaau said, “and they come out and see who can hit the most home runs. It is a great friendly

competition they have, and it is showing up in Murphee’s swing. She is crushing the ball, and Daugherty is getting the same thing.”

Altogether, the Eagles outscored the first two CIF opponents by a 22-0 margin, and have not committed an error in the past

three games.“All our girls are starting to put the bat

on the ball,” Valaau said.The Eagles met with the Regents of La

Reina High School on the road in Thousand Oaks on Thursday, May 26. Results of the game were unavailable at press time.
