I am hoping your are enjoying your summer. I know with the children being home, friends and families visiting, and so many wonderful activities to do, fitting in crafts can be challenging. But, it can also be relaxing at the end of the day. It’s just finding enough of the “Me” time to do it. I have been on a quest to locate painting books and patterns that I had before the hurricane. I have been able to find a couple of them and will continue my search. I don’t expect to find them all as most are out of print. I have found some at the thrift store believe it or not. One of my painting friends told me about her adventures at thrift stores and garage sales. Guess this coming weekend, after the grandchildren and I see a movie, we will be heading to couple of
thrift stores and maybe a garage sale or two. Bet my grandson will just love that! So I am NOT telling him!
I decided I would tell you about the bouquet of flowers that I made this time. I had ordered roses, iris’, carnations, lilies, and misty white limonium to make a basket of flowers to put at the cemetery for my Dad on Father’s Day. When the flowers came in, the lilies were so tightly closed I knew they would never be open enough to show their real beauty when I needed them, so I made up my Dad’s bouquet with the roses, iris’, carnations, misty white, and leather leaf fern and set the lilies on the side for a couple of days. By The following Tuesday they started opening. I decided to wait until Wednesday to make a bouquet with them. Once they started to open, they did so very quickly. In the vase I have 1 bunch of Hybrid Lilies, 9 roses (left over from the
larger bunch of roses, 2 left over iris’, and 5 carnations. I did not have any leather leaf left over so I did without the greens. The lilies were really beautiful and had such a nice fragrance. I am looking forward to Labor Day so I can make another bouquet with the left over flowers from my Mom and Dad’s bouquets.
You can put together a bouquet of flowers for yourself in no time at all. All it takes is the love of fresh flowers and the desire to have their beauty around you. Fresh flowers are easy to come by. Seems like they sell small bunches in every grocery store. So while you are shopping pick up a bunch or two and treat yourself to beauty and sweet fragrance of flowers. I know you will enjoy it.
Well, that’s it for this time. So what will your next craft be? Mine........Ummmm........Not really sure. But I know it will be fun.
Ted Joanen, retired research leader at the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries’ (LDWF) Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, was recognized at the Crocodile Specialist Group (CSG) meeting May 26-31 in Lake Charles.
Joanen, a wildlife biologist for over 30 years, was honored with two outstanding research awards in sustainable use management. His bachelor’s degree alma mater, Southeastern Louisiana University (SELU) in Hammond, presented an endowed professorship to further studies in sustainable marsh management and conservation of wetlands. Dr. Chris Beachy, head of the SELU’s Biology Department presented the $100,000 award on behalf of the University and benefactors.
A proclamation from Louisiana State University (LSU), where Joanen completed his master’s degree, established the “Ted Joanen Outstanding Research Award in Sustainable Marsh Management”. LSU graduate students will be eligible for annual grants to further studies and research focused on marsh and sustainable use management. A founding fund of $30,000 was donated to the graduate studies program. Additional contributions can be made to the LSU Alumni Association through Jamie B. Bueche, Accountant, LSU Alumni Association, 3838 West Lakeshore Dr. Baton Rouge, LA 70808. For more information, call 225-578-9259 or send email to [email protected].
“This was extraordinary recognition by Louisiana and the trade of Ted Joanen’s four decades of pioneer work to help protect Louisiana’s wetlands through the sustainable use of the alligator and other renewable natural resources,” said CSG Chair, Dr. Grahame Webb. “Ted was a CSG pioneer as well from the very beginning. He shared his Rockefeller research findings with all who knew him to encourage the concepts of sustained use management around the world and, as Ted always said, ‘find ways to keep the marsh wet and wild’.”
Joanen’s legacy at LDWF included development of the Department’s sustained use program for the American alligator, one of the world’s most recognizable examples of a wildlife conservation success story. Louisiana’s program has been used as a model for managing various crocodilian species throughout the world. Since the inception of the Department’s program in 1972, over 810,000 wild alligators have been harvested and over 6.5 million alligator eggs have been collected. Additionally, over 3.5 million farm raised alligators have been sold bringing in millions of dollars of revenue to landowners, trappers and farmers.
Contributors to the Ted Joanen special recognition awards also helped create a CSG Conservation Education Fund (CEF). Contributions to the CEF are tax-deductible and can be made to IACS (International Association of Crocodile Specialists).

PLAQUEMINES FISHING REPORTS 6.26.14 I had 3 guys that had fished inshore the day before and caught over 90 redfish. Today they wanted bull reds and some hard fighting action. We went to the sand bars looking for quality not quantity. The seas on the outside were bouncy but bearable. The bite was slow but soon we had a rod bending. Our first one was 38 inches.
The day before was rats and slot fish but today was going to be drag burners and shallow water runners.
We did this with a slow but steady enough pick to keep us there all morning. On one of the drifts we hook up to a spooling fish I keep my 4000 drags a bit tight and they hold a full spool of braid so no worries or so I thought. I decided to start the big motor and retrieve some line. Here I am out on the flats chasing down a runner with a 250 Yamaha.
Once the spool looks a bit more comfortable I let him fight the fish. This stud is not wanting the boat at all. He is getting tired but I wish the fish would also. This fish ran the angler around the boat 3 times before we got it boat side. Do not ask me how much time we lost with this one fight but it was an epic battle. It was so much fun to watch that the other 2 guys quit fishing and enjoyed the fight.
The bite there slowed down just after noon with one 32 incher in the box so we went looking for a bit more meat to take home. I saw a water color break on a point and gave it a try. Our first fish we invite to dinner with us is a nice speck.
We got 2 more but that was it
A well placed cast gets the fishes attention. It turns, inhales the bait, and the fight is on. While he is fighting this fish one of the other guys hooks up to an 18 incher that is also invited to dine with us. We now have 2 reds in the box and 3 trout. This fight is also an epic battle due to the shallow water. We can see him running away and when it turns the water boils. There is a muddy water trail all over the place. Needless to say this trophy fish also went back to fight and breed again.
On our next place it was a meat haul with all quality fish coming in on almost every cast. I had to measure a few but only 2 went back. Most were 20-26 inches. We fished till the bite slowed and then before we left they just picked one each for a picture. This point held a good class of fish. These were typical of the fish we got.
GENERALLY SPEAKING - Let’s start with a reminder that fishing license fees more than double after next Monday, so if you haven’t renewed this year, do so by this weekend and save some money. Summer patterns are slow to establish themselves as we pass into our customary warm weather. Trout harvests are down from years past, whether they’re bigger or just keepers. The wind isn’t the factor it was last year but the water murkiness continues to plague regular fishermen and captains as they attempt to please everyone wetting a line. Shrimp are plentiful and reds are still the leading species for easy and plentiful harvesting in Plaquemines. Lots of bull reds still make up a large portion of the catch and many times dominate the morning’s fun. Not too many reports of rat reds. Flounder catches seem to be up and snapper, when caught legally, are in large supply as well. Stay inside to get these beauties. The tuna runs have been down this late spring as well and the shark reports are beginning to come in. Watch the weather and don’t have everyone on your boat in a vulnerable area at the same time, like the transom. You don’t want to be treading water for more than 12 hours like that couple did last weekend. Good casting and have a safe and patriotic Fourth of July.
MGM MARINA - Leona Squarsich. 504-656-2267. Fishing has been productive towards Lafitte Pass. Leona says the trout are showing up around Manila Village and St. Mary’s Point. Bay Round and Lake Five are good spots for reds. MGM Marina 504-656-2267.
LLOYD LANDRY - 504-912-8291. FISHING THE MIDDLE WITH LLOYD. Fishing down in southern Plaquemines has definitely been a little slower this year than in years of the past. On the west side of the river, from Buras to Four Bayous, flocks of seagulls can be found diving on wads of shrimp with schools of hungry trout under each pile. Catfish and small undersized trout will consume a lot of your time, but persistence will pay and you will end the day with a nice mess of trout. For the reds, concentrate on the area of broken marsh between Bay Adams and Bastion Bay, throwing spinner baits or Gulp! under a cork and you will find plenty of reds. Fish all points and islands that have bait around them and your chances of catching fish will increase. On the east side of the river, California Bay to American Bay has plenty of piles of birds with eager trout under them. Tons of reds are being caught along the shorelines with Gulp! under a cork or market shrimp. Trout have also showed up at Breton Island and are being caught with live shrimp. Beware of thunderstorms while out at the islands. Be safe and tight lines. LLOYD LANDRY. OUTCAST FISHING CHARTERS 504-912-8291
BOBBY DUGAS - BC CHARTERS LTD. Leave it to the Corps of Engineers to mess up the productive rock pile fishing in the Southwest Pass. Bobby Dugas says their running a dredge pipe to bring in sand behind the pilot station and that’s not doing thefishermen any good. Those old rockers might have “loved that dirty water” but we don’t care too much for it in South Louisiana, especially when the river is also rising “how high’s the water, mama? Two feet high and a’risin’!” Bobby said the negatives only allowed him to bring in eight reds on Monday. He said the dredging plays havoc with the river current that drives bait fish to predators and gives the average fisherman a good day’s catch. Bobby said his catch of reds were all good keepers - 17 to 24 inches - and not the bulls that seem to own the waters of the parish. The wind is back inside but not as bad as it was last year. Offshore fishing has been hit and miss with one veteran captain bringing in a 162 pound yellowtail the other day but then having days where the catch just isn’t there. BOBBY DUGAS. BC CHARTERS LTD. 504-912-9724.
BESHEL’S BOAT LAUNCH - Scattered to the four winds and every body of water within a short run from Beshel’s is where you’ll catch reds, specks and flounder. The water is clearing now and if you can avoid the shrimp boats, you should do all right. Get ready to write these names down: Triple Pass, Bay Collette, Drum Island, Iron Bank, the edge of Bay Darden by the old Wildlife camp. A good amount of reds are around Bay Law and Cox Bay. Use live shrimp and hard and soft plastics. Robert says a good gold or silver spoon - preferably with a spinner - is working well. And some fly rod fishermen are having success. The water is clearing and life is pretty good at Beshel’s these days. If you fish Beshel’s, check with Robert for the best spots that week. If you go there, send us some pictures and a story or two about your success on the east bank. Beshel’s is still the place to catch your limits on the east bank and they have all your launch needs seven days a week. BESHEL’S. 504-333-4469.
VENICE SPORTSMAN’S LODGE AT THE MARINA - DAN SKERMETTA. Dan’s been very busy fishing this spring and early summer but he did send us a couple of nice pictures of catches made by out of state fishermen. The first picture shows Patrick from Oklahoma with a shark he caught this past weekend with Captain Dan. Oklahoma doesn’t have any sharks and hardly enough water to support a fish of any decent size. Most of their better fishing is in the east and northeast, where you can catch bass, freshwater trout and sunfish. The other picture shows Doc and George from Chicago with a big red that got them to smile on their recent trip with Captain Dan. Those Chicago guys get to fish for muskie, pike and walleye as well but they have to go into the woods and rough it for a few days. Louisiana fishing. One day (maximum) or better yet, two half days, and the biggest fish most of these guys will ever catch. Better fishing up North? Fuggedaboudit! CAPTAIN DAN SKERMETTA. 504-481-2320. -0-
We headed in about 3:00 with an outstanding trip under our belt. A 3 man limit of reds, 3 bonus trout, and 3 guys that battled quality fish all day. This was a trip dreams are made of. Always nice when a plan comes together. Life is Good! Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It’s more important than that. –CAPT HOOP -- OUR FREEDOM

Women’s Fish Tagging Workshops
This year, nearly 50 women have joined the ranks of experienced anglers in Louisiana by participating in the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Women’s Fish Tagging Workshops. The two workshops were held at the Cabela’s in Gonzales where the ladies learned how to rig their own rod and reel, fishing tactics, how to properly tag a fish, methods of cleaning fish and identification of fish native to Louisiana.
The Coastal Conservation Association of Louisiana sent each of the participants home with their own rod and reel, and several of the wining raffle winners brought home new fishing gear courtesy of Cabela’s and CCA Louisiana.
The Department strives to inspire people to learn about and enjoy the outdoors. The Women’s Fish Tagging Workshops, one of the many outreach programs LDWF sponsors, are designed to do just that. The goal is to provide women with hands-on education and experience from trained staff and volunteers.
The program is open to women 18 and older who have in interest in fishing and conservation but have not had the opportunity to learn the skills and techniques needed to begin fishing. LDWF and Cabela’s have partnered to hold several of these one-day workshops. Those who participate in the workshops are eligible to enter a lottery for fishing trips, allowing them to practice the techniques they learned. Participants are also given the opportunity to be paired with a fisheries biologist and boat captain to further their fishing experience and help them to one day become confident enough to fish on their own.
LDWF is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana’s abundant natural resources. For more information, visit us at www.wlf.la.gov, and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ldwffb or follow us on Twitter @LDWF.

–CAPT HOOP -- OUR FREEDOM NMFS has been messing with nature for many years. I honestly believe there is no other fishery they can mess up any worse then the red snapper. The fish is a predator that has been allowed to over run its habitat and destroy other fish that are trying to exist in the same environment. In my over 70 years I have noticed them take away recreational fishing a bit at a time. They have reached the top of the hill in the over regulating business with a 9 day, 2 fish season. The money and politics has got to get out of the fishing industry. Let the states regulate their own areas and get a reasonable regulatory system in place. Our political machine is broken at all levels.
I had a call after 10:00 on my day off. A group of guys had towed their boat down to Venice for a week of fishing only to have issues with 2 of the 3 motors. They were stuck here and were looking to salvage a bad trip. I had to load the rods on the boat and trailer it to the marina. See ya after 11:00. We made a short, late day, snapper run. The trip out took longer than the catching. We got into 12-16 pounders. They kept me busy with doubles.
I only had 3 rods in use which worked out very good. The guy with the black hat above caught a fish and proceeded to help me with the chumming the rest of the trip. The sound effects were outstanding. At least he took time out to fight a good fish. This kid fought 2 big red snappers and we fought to keep him in the boat. All joking aside he did a great job on the fish and has memories for a lifetime.
I had 6 guys and a child with me which is the 8 person limit for my boat but it made for a problem with my charter. I explained to them that my license allows for me to do a six person charter only and we would only be able to take a six person limit of red snapper. They understood and we shut it down at 12 fish in the box. I am allowed a deck hand but he is not allowed to be in the count of fish. While at the rig we hooked into a black tip shark about 4 feet long. I gave it a 15/0 circle hook to show to his new lip piercing to his buddies. It already had a 7/0 hook on the other side.
With our limit in the box I went to another rig looking for some mangrove snapper. The water was muddy and that is how I like it when fishing for these elusive critters. When it is clear it is nice to watch them but they are also watching us. We made a half hour stop and managed 9 mangroves. Our topper at this stop was a good fight from a Jack Crevalle.
In a little over a half hour we found a pair of mangrove snapper and headed in. The beer was getting low. Actually it was already late in the day. We had a nice bit of fish for a quick afternoon trip. 12 red snapper and 2 nice mangroves.
The next day I had a couple that never went offshore and wanted to try for tuna. They wanted tuna but were not set on tuna only. They just wanted to catch some good fish. They slept in and got to the marina a bit late. This cloud would hang over us all day. We struggled making bait which put us further behind. Almost to our targeted rig 35 miles out I find a weed patch loaded with tuna crack. We get to the “boat show” and the bite is already ending. We give it an hour but luck is not on our side today. Plan “B” goes to work now.
We headed in and found the Cougar struggling with the red snapper. The wind and current was against each other and the bite was not on fire. Once I got there things changed for him. I saw him put a cobia and a blackfin tuna in the boat as well as his final 13 fish to limit out. Our 4 fish limit was fun also.
This is a nice way to get your feet wet on the offshore scene.
I was able to salvage the day with a good looking mess of fish.
I found some good weeds that held chick dolphin. They
were so thick and hungry they even bit bare hooks. I put an end to the bloody slaughter at 2 dozen fish.

LOUISIANA PEACH HARVEST UNDER WAYThe Louisiana peach season is well under way and residents of the state will again have the opportunity to enjoy a juicy, high-quality product earlier than peaches from other states. Louisiana peach producers produce the finest quality peaches.
Many of Louisiana peaches are harvested from U-pick orchards. Customers who pick their own peaches should be aware that peaches do not store or keep well if harvested at the wrong stage of maturity. Therefore, it is important to identify the stage at which peaches are at the highest quality for longest shelf life.
To last and not deteriorate in quality, peaches should be purchased at the firm, mature stage. This occurs on most varieties when the “ground color” (a peach’s basic underlying color) changes from green to yellow.
Ground color is normally best identified on the shoulders of the peaches at the stem end. Peaches picked before the ground color changes from green to yellow normally will not ripen properly.
On varieties where ground color is difficult to detect because of excessive surface red, look near the stem end for the color change. The flush color and firmness should also be checked. The size of the peach normally has no real bearing on quality. The best size for the value is a 2-inch peach. However, early peaches generally are not as large as late-maturing varieties. A 1 3/4 to 2-inch peach is an ideal size to expect for early varieties. Many consumers wish to purchase peaches in large quantities so they can store some until consumed, but excessive cold storage of peaches results in poor ripening.
Peaches kept under refrigeration should be allowed to return to room temperature for approximately 24 hours after long periods of storage. When kept longer than two weeks in storage, peaches lose their ability to ripen properly and will turn leathery and tough when removed from cold storage.
Peaches picked at the “firm mature” stage become ripe for eating in two to four days after temperatures of 70 to 80 degrees F. Ripening proceeds about half as fast at 60 degrees F as it does at 70-80 degrees F, and about half as fast at 50 degrees F as at 60 degrees. At 60, 70 and 80 degrees F, peaches ripen to good edible quality. If peaches are held at 50 degrees F until ripe, the flavor is normally adversely affected.
Even under the most favorable cold storage conditions, quality peaches usually cannot be stored more than two weeks.
SUMMER WATERING MORE CRUCIAL IN SEASONWatering is one of the most misunderstood and confusing gardening chores. Even dedicated gardeners do not realize the inadequacy of their watering methods until it is too late and a plant is badly damaged or dead. Because water is both essential for healthy plant growth and costly to apply in quantity during the summer, it is important to get it to the plant’s roots and keep it there.
There are watering techniques that will help keep plants healthy, and make it easier to maintain specimens throughout the landscape while avoiding costly water bills. The techniques apply to all growing things in the garden, from shade and fruit trees to vegetables, lawns and houseplants.
*Never water strictly by the calendar. Learn to recognize dry plants and soil, and use these as your guide for watering.
*When the plants are dry, water thoroughly. Water lawns so that the soil will be wet several inches down. This encourages deep rooting and drought tolerance.
*Light daily sprinklings lead to shallow root development and the need for more frequent waterings as water is lost from the upper part of the soil. Water trees and shrubs by taking the sprinkler off the end of the hose and letting water run slowly for an hour or so, guarding against water run-off.
*Avoid letting plants become waterlogged because of poor drainage or over-watering. Symptoms for plants which have been kept too wet are about the same as for those kept too dry. Roots in waterlogged soils die and do not take up water, so plants wilt and turn yellow.
*To help keep moisture in the soil, use a mulch such as bark, bagasse or pine straw. In addition to reducing evaporation, mulches also keep the soil cooler and make weed pulling much easier.
Make a special effort to keep newly planted trees and shrubs well watered. Their developing root systems are sensitive to under and over watering.
Water for plants is essential. Successful gardeners learn to recognize certain danger signs and avoid putting plants through such stress by applying water in a timely and adequate way.

How can I ensure l o n g - t e r m o r permanent care for my pet if I become seriously ill or die?
The best way to make sure your wishes are fulf i l led is by also making formal arrangements that specif ical ly cover the care of your pet. It’s not enough that long ago your friend verbally promised to take in your animal or even that you’ve decided to leave money to your friend for that purpose. Work with an attorney to draw up a special will, trust, or other document to provide for the care and ownership of your pet as well as the money necessary to care for her/him.

Today’s article, children, is about the coming of age of World Cup soccer in the United States. Now don’t make a face; yes, the play-by-play announcers still are stilted, bean-up-their-butts, British-raised dandies who have no concept of analytical announcing and whose sports vocabulary is about as colorful as a working class British dinner. And yes, the action can be difficult to follow and penalties seem capricious. But there’s something to be said about this year’s event in Brazil; perhaps its because of the coolest graphics ever developed for the event, perhaps its Brazil itself, maybe its the fact that the majority of Americans finally understand enough about the sport to watch the United States team, at least. And it’s the first time the United States has had enough firepower to keep up with the big boys.
But I think its more than that. I think its the fact that the Western European powerhouses are getting their backsides kicked by the rest of the world. England, for one. Two and barbecue for the Islanders. Spain, the defending champs, for another. Same two and out for
Espana. And Germany. Needing a couple of corner kick goals to tie Ghana? Germany? The team America plays Thursday? Not a whole lot more to say about Portugal, Italy, France, Switzerland or Austria, even though France is 2 and 0 has scored 8 goals. Portugal was extremely lucky to tie the U.S. on Sunday. America dominated 93 of the 95 minutes of the match, giving up a sloppily defended corner kick goal early in the match and the forever-to-be-discussed extra time goal against three so-called defenders and a tired, ball-watching goalie in the final 30 seconds.
If the U.S. makes the knockout round (Sweet 16), great for them. If they beat Germany, that’s a huge accomplishment, even in a down year for European teams. Who will win it all? I really don’t care. There’s too much else in the world of sports that gets me more involved. But I am watching the games. And listening to WWL for the play-by-play, because even Jim Hawthorne sounds better than a British sports announcer. Even though WWL doesn’t actually broadcast the matches. And who, in the 21st century, says “nil” instead of “zero” or “nothing” when referring to a shutout.? “Nil”? Eat your pudding, children. All and all, you’re just another brick in the wall.
Now for the virgins. Yes, two virgins, who have had “nil” luck in winning any sort of a national sports championship, are competing for the title of 2014 College Baseball champions. Virginia and Vanderbilt, schools of elegance and culture, breeding and scholarship, the Cavaliers and the Commodores, are competing in Omaha to see who takes home the CWS crown. Vanderbilt rose from the middle of the pack in the SEC to find themselves facing a team that reached number one status during the season, an opponent that finds itself as the only nationally ranked and nationally seeded team left in the eight team CWS, 16-team super regional and 64-team regional gauntlet.
Two weeks ago, I picked Vanderbilt to beat Texas for the crown, not knowing those two teams were in the same bracket. But Vanderbilt DID beat Texas - twice - and they now face the team I would have chosen to come in third in the CWS. The smart money is on Virginia, with a perfect storm of pitching set up for the two or three game showdown. My heart is on Vanderbilt, SEC toughened and fun to play, even if their idea of tailgating is more like water boarding to a typical SEC football fan. Yes, Nashville and the Commodores are slightly different than most of the SEC, where Duck Dynasty and a plug of chewin’ tabaccy trumps white wine and references to “the Athens of the South”. But it’s still in Tennessee, where they make a pretty good drinking liquid and great barbecue and you might check your GPS before venturing off the beaten path, especially into the hills, where only kinfolk are allowed.
Vanderbilt beat Texas twice, and that’s as hard a thing to do in the postseason as exists in college baseball. Virginia beat Ole Miss twice, but Ole Miss was happy just to get back to Omaha under their coach and former LSU star Mike Bianco. Augie Garrido, the coach for Texas, considers the runner-up trophy from the CWS as “a door stopper.” The last door stopper in his collection was given to him by LSU five years ago. Garrido’s only peers in the history of the college game are Skip Bertman and Ron Dedeaux of USC. All three have won at least five CWS crowns. My wishes are to see Virginia with a “door stopper” but it wouldn’t upset me if they beat Vanderbilt. Like I said in my last column, college baseball has changed drastically in the past ten years and the big boys, including LSU, are taking steps to retain their hard-won position as a powerhouse. Funny. Looks like the Western European soccer teams need to do the same thing. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!! HOME RUN!

Once apon a time, there was a working class neighborhood in San Francisco called the Haight Ashbury. It is located roughly in the middle of the seven mile by seven mile jewel of the Western United States, San Francisco. Despite the media hype over the past 50 years, it was a hell of a place to grow up and get an education. It received just the right amount of fog, lots of sunshine and not as much of the summer overcast that throws a chilly pall over The City most of the summer.
You could always spot a tourist in San Fran. They were the ones in the summertime wearing shorts and short-sleeve shirts, sunglasses and hats. Natives wore Pendletons, Levis, sneakers, penny loafers, sweatshirts and sweaters or windbreakers. Tourists froze their butts off in July and August. Seasoned travelers made their travel plans to visit in April, May, and from mid-September into October, November and mid-December.
As a boy, the Haight Ashbury was where I first learned to play, to work and to enjoy life. My school was located on Haight Street, an east-west thoroughfare connecting downtown and the Castro Valley area and Golden Gate Park. It was my first marketplace where I went to school, bought my clothes, got an ice cream cone, watched four hours of cartoons, newsreels, short features and a main feature for 25 cents on Saturday mornings at the Haight Theater, bought books, watches, toys, learned to bowl (with live pinsetters!) and appreciate Nature in Golden Gate Park, a man-made wonder carved out of sand dunes in the late 1800’s. This beautiful park had everything: train rides, swings, slides, pavilions, a carousel, tons of benches, concessions, lakes, virtually tame squirrels that would climb on your shoulder, take a peanut out of a bag in your shirt pocket and eat it while sitting there and museums, conservatories, the Japanese Tea Garden and dozens of other destinations. But for a kid, the biggest attraction was the acres and acres of wooded, grassy areas with hills, hollows, little caves and all the trees you could climb and have imaginary adventures in.
I went back in 2005 to visit, four months before Katrina. The post-hippie Haight still looked the same. Cities like San Francisco,New Orleans and New York change demographics but rarely does the landscape change more than superficially - well, in the neighborhoods, anyway. I’ll be going out there once or twice a year starting this year to watch the 49ers play in Santa Clara, which can never be mistaken for San Francisco but is close enough to allow me to fly in and get a dose of The City By The Bay before the game. Anyone who loves New Orleans and the Cajun region can relate to loving San Francisco. There are so many similarities: the food, the architecture, the music, the crazies and zanies, the cultural atmosphere, their international ports and historic waterways. They’re both very tolerant cities and regions and embrace laissez le bon temps roule’.
But the Haight never did. Hate, that is. It was always a friendly neighborhood, full of first, second and third generation Americans who appreciated the fact that the army didn’t come into their homes to conscript them into service, where land barons didn’t ride roughshod over their villages and where swastika-bearing soldiers didn’t create a living hell for them. Just like anywhere else in America in those days (old school), a kid couldn’t get away with anything stupid and they learned quietly from adults until the kid hit puberty, when everyone over 30 suddenly became senile, just like everywhere else in America.
The lessons I have learned in the South as an older teenager and adult have been wonderful and profitable and some of them I would have loved to have learned as a youngster. But being raised in the gumbo of a multicultural, multi-religious, multi-economic community is something I wish more kids would have experienced. It allows you to move relatively seamlessly into the different worlds of America I’ve experienced - Los Angeles, the Old West, the Plains, the Bible Belt, the Deep South - without the visceral shock which each region might produce.
My old neighborhood became famous because of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia, The Lovin’ Spoonful and a host of artists, poets, nut cases and gurus of all kinds. None of them were there
when I grew up. The beatniks were in the city but they weren’t in my neighborhood to any measurable degree. What few beats living around the Haight Ashbury when I was a kid had been displaced by hippies following 2 1/2 years of college at LSU when I returned the year before The Summer of Love to finish my college degree in San Francisco. I prefer to think of the neighborhood as a breeding ground for gentle people of all disciplines and beliefs, that began as a tough immigrant area, survived the 1906 fire and earthquake and evolved into the type of place where a kid could get the best of both the urban and rural worlds of post-World War II America. A safe, nurturing, colorful world full of adventure and spirit. A learning place. A peaceful and nearly holy place.
