Just a Thought By Bob Chute Spring is here Be sure to set your clocks FORWARD one hour early Sunday, <strong>March</strong> 8 and celebrate the first day of Spring on Friday, <strong>March</strong> 20. It’s a great time of the year, new growth all around us and my wife, Rhoda, gets to spend more time working and playing in the dirt… plants are her thing! Looking at our <strong>March</strong> issue We have an interesting collection of stories for you this month, leading off with Paso Cares, a group of Roblans seeking to help the homeless in our community. “A year ago, there were 800 statistically homeless in Paso; half were children. That’s the WRONG. The RIGHT is that there is a growing community of our unheralded neighbors who are devoted to make things better.” Please check out Chuck’s story on page 14 and see how you might get involved. Our over 200 wineries celebrate all things Zinfandel during Vintage Paso: Zinfandel Weekend, <strong>March</strong> 20 to 22 while adding special wine seminars, called Zinposium, focusing on our heritage varietals, see page 16 for details. We also celebrate Winemaker Stephan Asseo, a transplant from France 17 years ago, honored as the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance Wine Industry Person of the Year. Several other neighbors shined recently as well. Congrats to the PRHS Crimson Newsmagazine. They received the highest place at the National Scholastic Press Association’s high school convention, getting fifth place in the newsmagazine category (page 22). The Mid State Fair recently added to their Hall of Fame at their annual dinner - congrats to Steve Arnold, Randy and Nancy Flamm, as well as Mike and Wendy Hall (page 36). We present a story about the new Paso Robles Horse Park planning to open out near the airport within the next couple of months, an amazing endeavor (page 44). This month will be a good time to take in a classic play, On Golden Pond, presented by our local Wine Country Theatre for several dates at the Park Ballroom, on Park Street, between 12th and 13th, in downtown Paso Robles (page 18). Spring…and baseball is back! I’m writing this just a couple days before the start of Spring Training. I’ve been a baseball fanatic my entire life and I am so glad that our winter of waiting is finally over. “It’s that time of year furthest from the last regular-season baseball game anybody has attended. It has been months without the sport,” said Howard Megdal of USA Today. “It has been cold in most of the country. The NFL season is over. The world gives us basketball, hockey and some overseas broadcasts of soccer. “But this is the most difficult time of year for a baseball fan.” “‘Pitchers and catchers report’ are four of the most beautiful words in the English language,’” wrote Mark Newman of MLB.com. Amen to that! “One of my buddies throws a Super Bowl party,” said former MLB player El Marrero. “As soon as the game ended, one of the guys’ wives said, ‘I’m glad the Super Bowl is over, because now pitchers and catchers report.’” Go BLUE! Ahhh, yes, baseball finally is back. I’ve been a die-hard Dodgers fan forever and THIS is the year we go all the way - no more blowing it in the post season - 25+ years is long enough to wait! Just one thing remains, SETTLE THE TV DISPUTE so we can see the games. Meanwhile, I can hear Vin Scully already, “Dodger baseball is on the air. A very pleasant good evening to you wherever you may be…” Takes me back to those days as a kid in bed falling asleep during the game with my transistor radio glued to my ear… Personal Our Granddaughter Mallory Kate turns 6 on <strong>March</strong> 5, hard to believe she’s the big girl with younger brother William, age 3, and Emily, just turned one. The photo of Mallory is from her 100th day celebration at school in San Jose. 10 Paso Robles <strong>Magazine</strong>, <strong>March</strong> <strong>2015</strong>
