Free! Central Coast Family
The Arts
This is partly what excites Director
and Chameleon Co-founder Dana
Shaheen about the production.
This is Chameleons 20th
Anniversary, and one thing weve
always believed is that theatre is
a wonderful way for families to
bond. Weve cast many mothers
and fathers on stage with their
sons and daughters, and seen
many young performers grow
up on stage and eventually go
to work in the entertainment
industry. A musical like Into the
Woods that is all about family
seems like the perfect show to
celebrate our 20th year.
Chameleon Productions will be
staging popular family-friendly
Stephen Sondheim musical Into
the Woods with a cast of familiar
fairytale characters, at the Clark
Center July 31 August 15. This
Tony Award winning show was
a cinematic hit at the box office
starring Meryl Streep.
Like any good fairytale, it has a

moral: Be careful what you wish
for! With humor and heart, the
clever dialogue and inventive
songs make for a show that both
adults and older children can
enjoy together (rated best for
ages 10 and up by Common Sense
Media).

Theatre lovers Dana and Jenny

Shaheen met on stage and married
in 1993, starting Chameleon
Productions, a local theatre
company based in Arroyo Grande,
two years later. Dana, a California
native, works as a Physicians
Assistant at Central Coast Urgent
Care by day while Jenny, a Central
Coast native, is a Realtor at Haven
Properties. Although each has a
successful career, their passion
for theatre for the last 20 years
have been providing audiences
with high production value shows
featuring the outstanding local
talent available on the Central
Coast.
Mr. Shaheen certainly knows

about theatrical family bonding
having met his wife and Cofounder Jenny while doing a show.
Their daughter, Madison, was
practically born on stage during
the Chameleon run of Jesus
Christ Superstar in 1995. She has
been involved in their shows ever
since and will be attending PCPA
this fall to continue her passion
and love of theatre.
In 2002, Dana and Jenny presented

the first musical ever performed
on the Clark Center stage, which
quickly became their home
venue. In 2007, they built a 26foot motorized turntable for their
production of Jekyll & Hyde
that is still available for use at the
Clark Center, in fact, they used it
for last years successful run of

Family Life
Breastfeeding & Work
by Jennifer Stover
Many women plan to breastfeed

their babies and with all our local
hospitals soon to be designated as
Baby-Friendly (by BFUSA), mothers
have an excellent chance of leaving
the hospital with a good start toward
their goal. In 2014, close to 97% of
women in San Luis Obispo initiated
breastfeeding. Sadly, in California
only 56% were still breastfeeding by
the third month. The whole country
has heard the drumbeat of breast
is best. The American Academy of
Pediatrics clearly wants children fed
breastmilk for at least one year; so
where is the disconnect? The reality
is that many women go back to
work, and it can be very challenging
to make breastfeeding work for
mothers outside the home.
World Breastfeeding Week (the
first week of August) will throw a
spotlight on this pervasive problem
with the 2015 theme Breastfeeding
and Work; Lets Make It Work.
Mothers want to be able to work
AND breastfeed. Doctors want this
too. Even the federal government
wants women to nurse. So how
do we help women to achieve this?
First, we need to educate both
women and employers. Women
need to understand they have both
federal and state laws supporting
them. They need to know who to
speak with at their workplace and
how to open a positive dialogue.
Employers need to learn about the
financial benefits from less turn over,
less sick leave, and more productive
workers. In a short amount of time,
businesses can change their culture
and begin to reap the benefits.
MindBody is an example of one local
business that is embracing the cause
of nursing mothers at work. Once
this tech company understood the
value for all concerned, they dove
right in, creating lactation rooms,
drafting personnel protocols, and
training employees on federal and
state laws. For their effort, they
were nominated by Central Coast
Breastfeeding Coalition to win a
state award and were recognized
in Sacramento for their support of
breastfeeding women.
How did this happen?

Annie
Woo, MindBody Vice President of
Customer Service and new mother,
was preparing to return to work
after her maternity leave. She
researched how improving the
breastfeeding accommodations for
workers could benefit employers.
After collecting input from other
employee/moms, she presented the
potential economic impacts to the
leadership team. The company was
all-in to support lactating employees.
This is why Labor of Love Big Latch
On SLO has chosen to give a big
shout-out to MindBody this year.
Last year, SLO Latch On spotlighted
local breastfeeding authors. The
first year, the high-five went to
French Hospital for achieving BabyFriendly designation. The BLO is
a combination of media stunt (to
raise awareness and to normalize
breastfeeding), community outreach
project, and family fun. In 2014,
over 23,906 women gathered in
826 locations around the world to
simultaneously latch their nurslings
and feed for 1 minute together.
Each year, they hope to break the
world record set the previous year.
This year, the fun will start at 9:30
am on Saturday, August 1st with
the Latch minute at 10:30 am at
Mindbody, 4051 Broad St, SLO.
Participants can connect with other
mothers, ask questions, and advance
the community conversation about
how to support breastfeeding and
working mothers.
In solidarity with our over-the-grade
sisters, the SLO event will connect
via the internet with the BLO at
Atascadero Lake Park. Lets stand
(or, in this case, sit) together with all
mothers who work in and out of the
home. Breastfeeding and work; we

Education
Happy is the Child

by Thea Bodger
Happy is the child who learns to

make something from practically
nothing! Making things, and
using materials from nature,
makes a child aware of all that
the world has to give. A child can
develop respect and appreciation
for the earth when she learns
to take some sheeps wool, and
knit it into something useful:
especially if the child also hears
a story about how the fleece was
grown. Even better, if you (as a
parent) can knit!
This article will help you knit a
simple toy for your child. When
he is ready, usually at about seven
years of age, you can show him
how to do it himself.
Its important that a child learns
to make things that she can
start from the beginning, and
complete every step herself. No
ready-made patterns, no hidden
steps How does something get
turned inside out? How did the
cord get through the top of that
drawstring bag? Many skills that
children used to see and learn at
home, are no longer available in
busy modern households. Your
child will be excited to learn these
magical tricks.
skills can be vital in the world your

child will face as an adult.
Instructions:
Take any small ball of yarn, and
knit a simple square, between 3
and 4 inches along the edge. Fold
in half on the diagonal, and stuff
lightly, preferably with sheeps
fleece, and sew closed. Sew a few
lengths of any colored yarn onto
one of the corners, and presto: a
rooster! Or, add a small piece of
red yarn or felt to one end as a
beak, and you have a hen.
A child younger than seven will
be happy to play with sticks and
just pretend they are knitting:
thats perfectly ageappropriate.
Learning a challenging craft with
instructions is a big project best
introduced after a childs change
of teeth. Before that, specific
directions can draw a child away
from his imaginative, imitative
world too soon. No need to rush:
when a child is really ready to knit,
he will be begging for it!
Here is a little verse you can use
to get your child started. It goes
along with every step of the
knitting process. Try it, and youll
see:
Learning crafts can stimulate

a childs inventive powers, and
the ability to generate creative
ideas when facing the unknown.
Creativity and problem-solving
In through the front door,
Run around the back,

Out through the window,
all that man and nature can do

together and how human beings
depend on one another. In this
way, a true social impulse is born.

on the Board of Wishing Well School, a nonprofit school in Los Osos, with a Preschool,
Kindergarten, and Primary grades up to 4th.

com or 717-2562.
Photography by Wishing Well School.
In a Waldorf school, we start

knitting lessons by having the
children sand the ends off of
small dowels until they become
pointed. With a tiny ball of clay
stuck to the end and dried, they
make their own knitting needles!
A child may be filled with wonder
for the trees that give him his
knitting needles, and great love
for the sheep whose warm fleece
becomes the wool he knits into
his soft scarf.
This wonder and appreciation
are the seeds for understanding
And off jumps Jack!
July 2015
One must work with ones hands,

in order to make something out
of practically nothing. The will
must be used, and determination.
Happily for the child, she can
quickly see the results of her
efforts. She gains a great sense of
empowerment as she sees a ball
of yarn turn into something she
can use. A child gains confidence
when she does her own knitting.
Why be afraid of the world, when
one can do so much with so little!

Independence Day

Its almost the Fourth of July

time for fireworks, picnics and a
reflection on all the liberties we
possess in this country. But if
youre going to enjoy the freedom
to do the things you want,
especially during your retirement
years, youll want to take the
steps necessary to achieve your
own Financial Independence
Day.
Here are a few suggestions for
helping you reach that goal:
Liberate yourself from debt. For
most of us, a certain amount
of debt is unavoidable. But the
greater control you can gain over
your debts, the better off you will
be, because any dollars not spent
in paying debts can be used to
save and invest for your future.

of growth-oriented vehicles in
Unlock the power of time. Albert
Einstein once said, The most
powerful force in the universe
is compound interest. Einstein,
who knew a thing or two about the
nature of time, clearly recognized
its importance in investing. In
fact, as an investor, time may
be your greatest ally. The more
years in which you invest, the
more dollars youll put in, and
the longer youll have for your

your overall investment mix.

Ultimately, this mix should be
based on your risk tolerance, time
horizon and specific long-term
goals.
Free your investments from

clustering. In the investment
world, as in many other arenas of
life, you can have too much of a
good thing. For example, if you
own a particular investment, such
as a stock, that has done well, you
might think that its a good idea
to own more of the same type
of stock. But when investing,
duplication can be dangerous,
because if a market downturn
affects one asset class particularly
hard, and much of your portfolio

is tied up in that asset class, you
could take a big hit. Instead
of clustering your dollars
around a single asset or two, you
could diversify your holdings by
owning a mix of stocks, bonds,
government securities and other
vehicles.
While diversification
can potentially help you reduce
the impact of volatility on your
holdings, a diversified portfolio
cant guarantee a profit or protect
you from loss.
Achieving any type of freedom, in
any kind of endeavor, takes time
and effort. Thats certainly the
case with financial freedom. You
will need to consistently make
the right moves, over a period of
many years, before you can finally
declare your fiscal independence.
But once you reach that point,
you will likely conclude that your
diligence and dedication were
well worth it.

of the most historic buildings
in the city is the Sauer Building
at 848 Monterey Street. In the
1960s, a German named George
Sauer

moved to San Luis Obispo and
started a grocery store and bakery
on Chorro Street. The Sauer family
switched locations to Monterey

at this time. The Call Building was

named in honor of S. B. Call of
San Luis Obispo. He was born in
Newport, New Hampshire in 1838.
Mr. Call was a highly skilled saddle
and harness maker. He learned his
skills in Boston and brought these
skills to San Luis Obispo in 1862.
The Call Building was built in the
late 1800s, and at the turn of the
century Jeff Anderson occupied
the ground level, offering mens
clothing. Later, Mr. Anderson
sold his clothing business and
built the Anderson Hotel across
the street. The Call Building was
a major business building in town
and was occupied by doctors,
dentists, attorneys, and various
other professionals.
Luckily,
the owner of the Call Building,
Mr. Jack Feliciano, wanted to
keep the building in his family
and completed the earthquake
retrofit to make the Call Building
one of the safest historic buildings

Some etymologies are milquetoast

Boss entered English in the 1640s
in America. Though its Dutch
source word baas, meant master,
its believed that boss may have
come into use in an attempt to
make a distinction between master
of a slave and master of a hired
worker. The Dutch term appears
to have come from the Old High

basa, aunt. The slang term of the
1950s and 60s, meaning excellent,
was actually the rebirth of a slang
