From unique homes to magnificent domiciles, gorgeous gardens to sundaes at a historic hotel, winning custom gift baskets to the opportunity to purchase beautiful plants and stunning roses for spring gardens, new and exciting pleasures await you at the Santa Clara Valley Hospice/Home Support Group's 26th Annual Homes & Gardens of Santa Paula Tour. The Tour will be held Saturday, April 25th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. According to Marilyn Harvey, Hospice Board Vice President/Tour Chairwoman, “This year's tour has lots of contrasts, a new hillside home,” custom designed by noted plant growers Dianne and Dudley Davis, “a stately Victorian,” full of surprises owned by Billie Ann Moore, “a vintage home with a modern remodel” demonstrating the talents of owners and interior design/architectural team of Susan and John Kulwiec, “and the storied historic Glen Tavern Inn,” restored to its former glory by Rosanna and Tom Jennett. “I know,” Harvey noted, “there is something for everyone.” And that includes herself: “It's exciting to see what people have done to improve their homes and it's always fun to see a home that's fresh and new. I always look for ideas that I can adapt to my own decorating style … and where else can you go to get decorating ideas at this price?” CONTINUED » |

Hi! My name is Sarah Rose Lochelt, and I graduated from Fillmore High School in the class of 2005. I am currently finishing my final year at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, CA (near Pasadena) and will be graduating in May with a Bachelor of Arts in Youth Ministry with a minor in religion. I havent quite decided what I am doing after graduation. I have applied to the Claremont School of Theology graduate program for a Master of Arts in Pastoral Counseling and been accepted, and will also be applying for my schools (Azusa Pacific University) Kern Scholarship, which would pay my way through a Master of Divinity degree here at APU. I would love to stay in this area and attend graduate school and continue working with the youth ministries I am currently involved with. I also aspire to travel the world in the next few years, as well as possibly pursuing a teaching credential and becoming a high school teacher in the Ventura County area. My experiences here at Azusa Pacific have been amazing; I have loved everything about my four years here. Between playing basketball here, attending and leading D-groups, going to classes, and volunteering in ministries on and off campus, Id have to say that the majority of my experiences have been rooted in the incredible community that this university creates and upholds. To attend a small school and have such close-knit peers and professors has been an incredible blessing. By far, the best memories Ive had have been with my roommate, Kimberly, who I have lived with for all four years. Kimy has blessed my life in so many ways, AND she is an amazing roommate! We have spent long nights up doing homework and talking about everything from God to graham crackers to good music, and everything in between, and I must say that our adventures in dying hair, dumpster-diving, and drawing pictures to put on the walls have really made these the best years of my life. |

The horse population at the Humane Society of Ventura County’s shelter in Ojai grew by one with the birth of a filly from one of the 37 severely neglected horses that were rescued from a Lockwood Valley ranch last fall. “One of our caretakers heard all of the horses just screaming,” Hoffman said. “She went out to check, and the filly had just arrived.” “It’s just started,” Hoffman added, noting that at least 19 other of the rescued mares have been confirmed pregnant, underscoring the nonprofit’s ongoing need of funds for the care of all the horses. Donations may be sent to the shelter at PO Box 297, Ojai, CA 93024. For more information, call 805 656-5031, or visit www.humansocietyvc.org. |

New Exhibit at the California Oil Museum
Opening Sunday, March 22, 2009 at 1-3 PM will be the City of Santa Paula’s California Oil Museum’s newest exhibit, presented by the Santa Paula Historical Society, “Born of Fire and Fury: A History of Santa Paula Fire Department”. Located at Main and 10th Streets in downtown Santa Paula, it will chronicle the over 100 year’s story of Santa Paula’s firefighters. It is expected to feature an early 20th century fire engine as well as equipment, uniforms, photos, log books and news clippings that will excite children and adults alike and firefighters, past and present. Opening reception will include a very impressive demonstration by the Santa Paula Fire Department. Refreshments will be served. Until recent years the town’s firefighters were all citizen volunteers and the department remains to this day an independent fire department. It had its beginning just after the turn of the last century when flames in a downtown building, combined with the fury of Santa Ana winds, destroyed a good portion of downtown Santa Paula.
