efore learning to surf, rock climbing was the thing I liked to do most. Weekend trips to Yosemite, excursions to the Pinnacles, even day trips to Tahoe. My family spent many hours on the road exploring new areas and looking for uncrowded spots and quality climbing routes. But the dream was to find spots in our own neighborhood. Someplace that didn’t require a tank of gas and miles of hiking. In Felton, near Santa Cruz, we discovered some granite cliffs along the San Lorenzo River that we could walk to from our front door. Then, living near Skyline Boulevard, we discovered several sandstone boulders that proved to have some good routes. They required hours of scraping the carpet of moss off with a wire brush, but they became our own private bouldering area. Since moving to the Coastside in the late ‘90s, I have searched for local climbing spots without much luck. There is so much potential on the beach cliffs and Devil’s Slide, but the rock quality is too loose for safe climbing. I had long given up on the idea. So when my daughter told me that she and a few friends were going climbing in Pacifica, I was skeptical. Had I overlooked something right under my nose? Apparently, yes. While I have yet to venture there myself, there is a small rock outcropping at the north end of Linda Mar beach that some locals have developed. You can check it out in our Day Tripper section in this magazine. Nothing terribly extensive, but the views are stellar. I plan on taking a look when I get a chance, and, with luck, may dust off my climbing shoes and give our local spot a go. Much like stumbling upon a secluded surf break, the joy of exploration and discovery is what makes it special. In fact, a lot of Pacifica is that way. If you’re willing to keep looking, you’re liable to run across a local gem just waiting to be explored. Happy hunting.
Speaking of gems This issue uncovers a couple of them. Take a look at Vanitha’s stories on Clay Creations and the Spindrift Players for some creative inspiration.

IT IS UNDOUBTEDLY SAFER, FASTER AND ACCOMMODATES MUCH MORE TRAFFIC, BUT WHERE IS A DUST BOWL REFUGEE SUPPOSED TO GO TODAY?
Early business district razed in ’60s By Paul Slavin his photo from the early 1950s shows Highway 1 before it became a freeway, back when small businesses pushed right up to the edge of the road, the “Main Street” of the pre-Pacifica coast. This particular section could be a rest home for automotive veterans; the one on the right has the well-traveled look of a Dust Bowl refugee. Oceana Boulevard rolls over the old Talbot and Welch building now, and behind that are the tennis courts of Oceana High School. The intersection to the right is Paloma Avenue, with Anderson’s store — the Salada Café at present — halfway up the block on
T

the right side. Paloma now crosses the freeway on an overpass, passes the venerable Winters Tavern, and heads down to the beach. Looking east up Paloma Avenue to the unchanged hills, we should acknowledge the early activists who, long before environmentalism was a popular concept, saved this wild open land for future generations. Without them, these hills would look like Daly City. On the far right side, by the top of the telephone pole, you can just get a glimpse of the old two-lane Sharp Park Road snaking over the ridge. The, uh, business district continued south (to the right) for several blocks, with buildings of varying sizes and uses, including
the Sharp Park Center, a pioneering strip mall. This concentrated area offered most of the merchandise and services that Coastsiders needed, but change was on the way. All the roadside structures were razed in the 1960s when the new freeway was built. Substantially wider than the old highway, it was also, for much of its length, set well below ground level, requiring the occasional overpass. It is undoubtedly safer, faster and accommodates much more traffic, but where is a Dust Bowl refugee supposed to go today? Paul Slavin is the president of the Pacifica Historical Society.

he writer Ray Bradbury once wrote, “We need our arts to teach us how to breathe.” It seems a simple concept that creativity of expression leads to creativity in other ways of thinking, yet in today’s world of shrinking school budgets, arts programs are often the first to be cut. Pacifica has developed and nurtured a solution to that problem in the Spindrift School for Performing Arts. The Board of Directors for the Pacifica Spindrift Players first envisioned the SSPA in 1992. Musician Alexander Bootzin had worked on a few productions with the Players and the board asked him and his musician wife, Martha Phillips-Bootzin, to start a music school. Operating as a nonprofit, they originally taught music lessons to adults on the weekends. Over the years, with the support of the larger Pacifica community, the SSPA started teaching theater classes to children, and a new way of adding arts back to school programs developed. The SSPA operates under the vision that it is

The range of classes includes drama and improvisation, musical theater, ballet and tap, hip-hop, acting, and instruction in instruments like guitar, banjo, violin and cello.

crucial “to train and inspire students of all ages in the performing arts while instilling the qualities of confidence, self-discipline, creativity, artistic excellence and respect for others.” Although Phillips-Bootzin died in 2008, Bootzin continues to give lessons, and the school he created with his wife is a legacy that has lasted 22 years with solid support as a Pacifica fixture. SSPA Executive Director Noelle deWeese credits the wealth of talent of working artists in the San Francisco Bay Area with helping the school succeed. DeWeese herself has experience in both theater and business and started working at the SSPA while she was still in college. “I went to the school and noticed there was nothing offered in theater and dance,” she says. So, at age 19, she began offering classes in ballet, tap and jazz. She’s been at the school for around 18 years now. Her theater and business experience make her the right choice to run an organization that has many needs but which runs largely on the efforts of grants and volunteers. “We are so lucky being this close to San Francisco,” she explains when asked how the school has done so well, especially in recent years. “We get a lot of great artists to teach our kids, who eventually become the next generation of artists.” Until this year, the SSPA shared space with the Pacifica Spindrift Players at the theater in Oddstad Park. It had been renting portable trailers for its dance classes. With the school growing fast though, it became clear the SSPA needed more space. In 2015, Pacifica planning commissioners unanimously approved SSPA’s request to tear down an outdoor restroom building and in its place install nine trailers to serve as the school’s site for classes with a theater for recitals and shows. Again with wide community support, the SSPA moved to new digs in May of this year. The

new space provides 6,800 square feet and is right next door to the Spindrift Theater. The school now has five music rooms, two dance studios, storage rooms and office space, and a 96-seat black box theater. “We’re still using the old portables as a scene shop though,” deWeese clarifies. Administrators want to keep space they have available, whether it’s for storing old sets or making new props. Classes at the SSPA start for kids as young as 2 years old and are offered for children and adults alike. DeWeese explains they do a lot of outreach in preschools and daycare centers, and work with almost every public school in Pacifica, along with some private schools, as well as those in San Francisco and Daly City. “We’re hoping to offer something in El Granada, and expanding our efforts down south. Really, the SSPA is great for schools who know the arts are important but who can’t afford a full-time department. We have real working artists as teachers, which is also inspiring for the kids.” All told the SSPA saw over 3,000 kids this year through classes and outreach programs, and the school is still growing. The SSPA has been rehearsing for the Tony Award-winning Broadway rendition of “Peter Pan,” adapted from the classic story by J.M. Barrie. The show features performers of all ages who had to audition for their parts. “It’s great to do musical theater,” says deWeese, “which is the culmination of all our departments — dance, theater and music.” PACIFICA

HANDS ON CERAMIC STUDIO PROVIDES A PLACE TO GET MESSY AND HAVE FUN
By Vanitha Sankaran Photos by John Green

iding on a quiet street not far from Pacifica’s pierside community sits a squat, unassuming building that wouldn’t merit a second glance except for the set of beautiful, glazed ceramic mushrooms that brighten up the parking lot. The building is Margaret Tassi’s Clay Creations studio and the mushrooms are a small glimpse into a world of treasures inside. Opening the door to the place, you immediately walk into a gift shop filled with a colorful assortment of mugs and dishes, unique sculptures ranging from dragons to cats to a giant Buddha-like head, and even a motley display of potter’s aprons made from fabrics with riotous patterns. The studio doesn’t so much scream creativity as it cajoles, inviting you to step closer and see what you might want to create yourself. The quiet spacious working area is something Tassi developed intentionally. “People get so excited when they get in a creative place, and these rooms give them the space to feel inspired and have fun.” It’s clear to see that creativity and fun

are what Tassi truly wants to inspire in other people. “I consider our studio to be one of recreation and learning,” she says. “Ceramic arts should be available to anyone. We’re not a big production studio and so we do have the ability to really have fun.” Tassi offers eight-week classes for beginners that cover the basic techniques of wheel throwing, sculpture and hand-building. From there students can go on to take other classes or can become a member and create to their heart’s content. The studio is separated into large workrooms that give people a quiet space to think. There is the wheel room, which contains 14 potters wheels, a glaze room where dozens of glazes in big plastic buckets call out in a wide array of brilliant oranges, greens, yellows, and blues, and a hand-building room where artists do slab work and impress patterns and textures into their pieces. The kilns are located in the back behind large shelves for dropping off pieces needing to be fired. Sculptor David Paulley, called “The Kilnmaster,”

does all the firing for the 90 members who belong to Clay Creations. “He’s fantastic at helping people fix things when the firing process doesn’t go as planned,” Tassi said. Paulley has been with the studio for five years and exudes that carefree air of creativity that Tassi encourages. He points out a piece of his own called “The Slow Dance” of two turtles embracing, which he made after he suffered an aneurysm several years back. He couldn’t do much in the studio in those days, he recalls, but the turtle shells symbolize his own hand work, what he could grasp at the time. The pieces were fired in the raku kiln, which can create unexpected colors and textures in the final piece. Paulley points to a small “tear of joy” running from the eye of one of the turtles. “It just happened,” and that’s what makes it wonderful. When asked what her passion is right now, Tassi is thrilled to talk about the Japanese Noborigama wood kiln that she and a team of volunteers built out at Mildwood Ranch three years ago. Guided by Nick Schwartz, a potter
from Mendocino who studied kiln building in Japan, a team of 20 people worked for a week full time on shifts to get the kiln up and running. The kiln is 18 feet long and has two chambers, one for wood and one for ash, both of which create different effects during firing. The team also built a pizza oven, which they use for viewing parties when artists and family get together to share their work. It can take anywhere from three to four days or up to 10 to 12 days to fire the outdoor kiln. Tassi smiles over the experience. “There’s a connection of real joy and satisfaction that came from being outdoors and creative in nature. People sit around and play music and share food.” Part of her excitement in using the wood kiln surrounds the randomness the firing creates in the ceramic, “a natural look with variations also based on nature.” The wood ash, for example, produces a glaze when it’s melted that can have a profound effect on a piece. The fire, on the other hand, produces flashing, which can create color effects that range from orange to red to even a little black. “You can’t recreate or control the look,” which makes every piece, like its creator, unique. And ultimately that’s what Tassi wants people to take away from working with ceramics, “to feel that they’re making something fun and valuable.” To find out more about Clay Creations and the classes offered, visit the studio’s website at claycreationspacifica.com/.

TEACHING DOGS THE TRICK TO BEING YOUR BEST FRIEND

sk around town for a recommendation on a good, reliable dog trainer and the name Lisa Rhodes inevitably comes up. Rhodes has been working with dogs and their families for over 30 years and has been with Shamrock Ranch Kennels and Stables as its training director since 1992. “I knew what I wanted to do from when I was 5 years old,” she says with a fond look at her Australian Shepherd, Chai, who sits quietly on her bed in Rhodes’ office. Rhodes started training dogs in her youth, branching out to horses and, in her late teens, even some exotics for the film industry. “It was a very difficult field, training animals for movies and film, though,” she recalls, “and not what I really wanted.” She connected with the theories of Matthew Margolis, affectionately known to many as “Uncle Matty,” about his theories on the individuality of dogs. She started working with him. A renowned dog behavior expert with many works in print, radio and television,

Lisa Rhodes believes in a combination of positive training and fairly given corrections in order to create a deeper bond with their dogs.

including PBS’ series “Woof! It’s a Dog’s Life,” Margolis established the National Institute of Dog Training. It has become one of the largest dog training facilities in the United States. Rhodes worked at the institute for five years, then went on to the Hollywood Dog Training School, where she stayed for another seven. Based on her experience training dogs of all breeds, backgrounds and behavioral issues, Rhodes developed an in-house training program at Shamrock Ranch. Owners drop off their pups for a minimum of two weeks and take home a companion that has basic obedience down pat. That includes leash manners, verbal commands and socialization with both people and other dogs. She also addresses specific behavioral issues by working with each dog to learn how to facilitate communication on an individual level. She doesn’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to dog training, but rather listens to each dog to find out what that dog needs. “I’ve trained thousands and thousands of dogs this way,” she said, “and it works.” Rhodes comes by her philosophies through decades of experience, but she has a wealth of knowledge gained from keeping track of current studies. She cites, for example, a recent study using MRIs and cortical stimulants that showed 85 percent of the dogs studied responded better to a praise reward than a food reward. “Right now there is a huge push for positive training,” she says. She believes in a more balanced approach when learning to “speak dog.” “There have to be limits, rules and consequences in a fair way,” she said. “That’s how it is in nature.” While treats have a place in training, she cautions people against relying on treats to reward good behavior too much. The real goal is to create a deeper bond. For Rhodes that means training a dog “to be the ultimate family companion,” one who has manners and greeting skills and who will come anytime anywhere no matter what else is happening around them. “A lot of the dogs I get have gone
through these positive training classes. A good, fairly given correction is fine and necessary, just like with kids.” The personality of a dog, she explains, is based on genetics and breed but also other factors. Her favorite age to train a dog with her in-board program is around 5 months. Adolescent dogs are also good to work with, but the younger pups, like infants, have a shorter attention span. “Training actually starts the minute you bring your new dog home. Seven-weekold puppies are capable of learning,” she says, “but they’re just not that mature.” On the other end of the spectrum, it turns out older dogs can actually be taught new tricks. Rhodes recalls a husky that moved with his family from rural California to a flat in the city when he was 13 years old. After two weeks of training, he understood his new environment and how to act in it perfectly. “It’s never too late,” she said. She sighs wistfully and muses on the abundance of dogs in rescue shelters. “So many of them probably ended up in a shelter because of behavioral issues. If we could just work with them for two weeks and then give them to a family, every adoption would be a success.” It’s a lofty goal, but her success speaks for itself. Roughly 80 to 90 percent of her clients are referral-based, or previous clients who have added a new dog to their family. Rhodes believes that right now, we are in a time where society humanizes dogs too much. “The cool thing about dogs,” she says, “is that they’re not human.” She explains that it’s important to enjoy the simplicity of dogs, the way they live in the moment. “They don’t judge, they just think everything’s OK.” It’s why dogs make such good companion animals, with studies showing that simply being with them and petting them can lower a person’s blood pressure. “They’re wonderful as they are, as dogs,” Rhodes says.

To get there, just park at the Crespi parking lot at the north end of Linda Mar Beach and make your way up the paved path as if you are heading to Rockaway. Veer off to the left on some dirt paths until you reach the small rock outcropping. Towards the top of the hillside is the largest formation, which has a couple of bolts for a top-rope anchor. The true quality of these bolts is unknown, so use your best judgment. Some have rated the climb a 5.8 degree of difficulty, which would be challenging for a beginner but rather tame for a more experienced climber. It’s not a place to go out of your way for, but it’s fun to say you’ve climbed somewhere local. On your way out, you can explore the bottom of the hillside where there is one good quality boulder with several routes to the top. You can downclimb from its short summit.

If you disregard the easy parking, the convenient location and the reasonable prices, you’d think you were in a San Francisco bistro in the heart of North Beach. Seriously. Pick a night where jazz is playing, order a glass of Chianti as you sit down and you’ll swear you were in the city. Paisano’s has a considerable amount of soul for being in a shopping center, and the staff will make sure you are taken care of. There’s a small bar if you just want a drink and some apps, or find a cozy table with some friends. It can be packed, even on a rainy weeknight, so be patient. If you’re a Carbonara fan, look no further down the menu. But if not, you’ll find plenty of other freshly made, traditional dishes and good quality pizzas. Don’t forget the Minestrone, though.

Time to start your orchard JANUARY IS PERFECT FOR PLANTING BARE ROOT FRUIT TREES By Arwen Griffith
I
t’s the new year, and a time for fresh beginnings and new growth. In other words, the perfect time to plant a bare root fruit tree! You will have no better start for your backyard orchard, whether it will contain a single tree or half a dozen. Start by choosing a variety suited for our coastal climate. Fruit trees require a certain number of “chill hours” to set fruit, meaning the number of hours falling below 45 degrees between Nov. 1 and Feb. 28. In the Bay Area, this limits our choices somewhat. The best way to figure it out what works is to ask your neighbors what they’re growing! The second-best way is to look at the recommended chill hours for the varieties you’re considering. Santa Rosa plum or Comice pear, at only 300 hours? Perfect. Gordon apple at 400? Beautiful. I have an unknown cherry that fruits every few years when it’s been cold enough, but only the warmest yards should attempt peaches and apricots. There are low-chill varieties, but most of us do not get enough summer heat to ripen. Take into account whether your chosen variety needs a pollenizer. If you’re only planning on planting a single tree, you’ll need a self-fruitful variety. If it needs a pollenizer, make sure your companion tree is compatible. Once you’ve chosen your tree, you can either order it online or visit your local nursery. You don’t want the biggest one on the lot; University of California research has shown that a trunk about as big

as your thumb has the best outcome. Keeping the roots moist is essential, so get the tree in the ground as quickly as possible. Dig a hole that’s wide and deep enough to accommodate the roots, but no deeper; above all, you don’t want the tree to sink down into the soil with repeated watering. Root tissue can harden and survive above ground, but trunk tissue will rot if it’s underground, so keep the top of the root ball level with the native soil. The graft scar (the stub where the chosen variety was grafted to a sturdy rootstock) should face north as it’s more susceptible to sunburn. There is no need to amend your soil; research has shown that it doesn’t enhance, and may hinder, your tree’s growth. Now comes the hard part. Unless you want a huge tree for aesthetic reasons, most orchardists strongly recommend a hard heading cut at no higher than 24,” or about knee height. That’s right, cut that beautiful, tall trunk right off, just above a bud. You will have a sad-looking stub, but that harsh cut stimulates amazing winter growth, and the top three or four buds will sprout into long, elegant branches soon enough. Young trees grow faster than we expect, and within a few years an un-cut bare root tree will be fruiting far our of our grasp. This early pruning sets the stage for the elegant “wineglass” shape you see at professional orchards everywhere. Now let the lengthening days work their magic and enjoy the fruits of your labor!

CoastalCanines Aston Martin and Bentley Age: 6 (Aston) and 5 (Bentley) years Breed: Whippets There’s a saying that whippets are like potato chips — you can’t stop with just one. “Aston” Martin and “Bentley” are perfect examples. Both came to Wendy and Robert Santiago’s home from a whippet rescue organization in Northern California. The Santiagos rescued Aston first from a bad breeder situation out in Modesto when he was only 14 months old. At the time he didn’t know how to walk up stairs or what to make of the refrigerator. Says Wendy, “He was basically exposed to nothing.” Uptight, nervous, and afraid of everything, Aston just needed a friend to lean on. And so the family “chipped,” adopting Bentley from the same rescue organization. Wendy recalls when they brought Bentley home that first day, he immediately jumped up on a big comfortable chair. “Aston just looked at him like, ‘What are you doing? We don’t go up there!’” But Bentley is a cool and confident dog that way. “We were his fifth family in a year,” Wendy notes, “and he just knew what he wanted to do.” Asked about their unique names, she laughs. “Well, they’re an English breed so they have to have proper English names,” she said. The pair gets on tremendously well together, with Aston as the alpha and Bentley content to go with the flow. Their antics constantly amuse the Santiagos. One of Aston’s favorite activities is to go sit on top of Bentley on that comfy chair of his. “Probably because Bentley is warm,” Wendy laughs. Certainly they have enough warmth in their obvious affection for each other. — Vanitha Sankaran
