Some of Paul Elmore’s favorite things.
Jodi Thomas AREA MANAGER
It was said of him in 1956 during his senior year at Palm Springs High, “He makes friends without even half trying.” This was true of Paul Elmore throughout his life. Born Oct. 13, 1938, Paul Elmore passed away Saturday, July 16, doing something he loved, riding motorcycles. He just had a big day celebrating another term win for the Anza Electric Co-Op Board and the Co-Op’s 65th Anniversary. That evening he decided to pick up a new motorcycle with a side car. On his way home something went wrong and in a split second life changed for Elmore, his wife Ellen, his family and the Anza Community that he called home for 42 years. Just six days later, a large gathering of 450 to 500 people who could say they knew Elmore in some way, came to remember the man who had spent his life serving his

fellow man. Elmore served in the National Guard from 1956 to 1964. Somewhere in the middle of his military service in 1960 he married the love of his life, Ellen. Together they walked through life for 56 years; raising their children Vern and Kim who gave them 11 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. The move to the Anza area came in May 1974 and Jan. 1, 1976, a new business venture emerged in Anza, Elmore’s Welding & Saw. Elmore’s shop location was close to home, right there on his property. The shop saw a lot of ‘shooting the breeze’ a favorite spot of area men who over the past 42 years knew just where they could go to get things fabricated and fixed. Elmore was a very passionate man, he loved the Lord his God, Jesus Christ, knew his Bible, cared about his country and his community and

The Killer Dueling Pianos, a nationally known top entertainment group, brought an evening of fun and musical entertainment to the Anza Community Hall Saturday, July 16 for a Manzanita Ranch “Feed the Horses” fundraiser. Though the attendance was lower than anticipated, those attending had the time of their lives with the talented and often hilarious Killer Dueling Piano artists Ryan Bueter and Douglas Scott. “This is an audience participation show,” Bueter said in the opening performance, “Everyone clap your hands!” With that the fun began. Promising to play any songs the audience wanted, Bueter and Scott, took dozens of requests from the
audience. The energetic, appreciative audience included more than 50 Anza and Aguanga residents all seeking to support Manzanita Ranch’s mission to provide therapy horse encounters to veterans, first responders and others suffering from Posttraumatic stress syndrome a day to relax and forget their debilitating memories. “If you want to be successful,” said Bueter in an interview before the performance, “I knew I had to make the music not about me. If you don’t use the music to benefit the world you won’t receive much benefit. It is a blessing to be ask to perform here to help feed the horses at Manzanita Ranch. “Anything that benefits veterans, you can believe I want to be there,”
