Hello Neighbors:

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone! We hope you receive a boatload of sappy, heart-filled cards from admirers far and near. As Charles Shultz said, “All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” (Keep that in mind next week, guys.)

Chocolate, wine, chic cocktails, great food, live band, dancing, and many extremely tempting raffle and auction packages will be yours for the taking this Saturday at the Sweetheart Social. I know it is hard to stay on budget when the founder of Mavericks is offering surfing lessons for two as an auction item. Who knew that Jeff Clark, plus artists, photographers, shopkeepers, chefs, vacation home owners and more could be so gener-ous with their time, talent and gift donations to support KMES? Folks reading the Echo on line version still have time to purchase event tickets at https://squareup.com/store/DonateToKMAP/ through February 7th. We’ll be there and hope to see you too.

Are you in love with this Kings Mountain winter weather? Early blooming flowers just lift your day with their riot of colors everywhere these days. Temperate weather has even affected our mountain school. Read Principal Diane Siegel’s charming comments about that in this month’s School News. We’re also kicking off the first Author’s Forum on Janu-ary 27th. Come hear Brenda Christensen’s stories about the persons profiled in her pow-erful book. Marty Eisenberg has more interesting culinary and health news this month. You may find his information about milk particularly surprising - I did. I also bought a cauli-flower just to try his cooking recommendation. We’ll see how that goes.

We included the current KMA membership list in this issue. Please check for your name. If it isn’t there and it isn’t a mistake like “the check is in the mail,” please use the renewal form to get current with your membership dues.

Lastly, I want to mention that the Djerassi Resident Artist Program will be training new sculpture hike docents on Sunday, March 11th. The fact that our small community houses such a famous artist resource is phenomenal. If you think you would enjoy getting involved in their public outreach hike program, please email me at the address below the Echo cal-endar page. I will be happy to put you in touch with the Program Associate at Djerassi who can answer any questions you have about volunteering.

Best regards,

Eileen Fredrikson, Editor Bill Goebner, Echo Photographer Marty Eisenberg, Echo Columnist

The Board commended and thanked Fire Chief Sullivan and the entire Fire Department on their remarkable 2017 response performance. This report shows that the KM Fire Department averaged nearly one call per day in 2017. The number of responses increased by 100 calls (+42%) over 2016 and yet there were only eight incidents with no volunteer response. The Kings Mountain Community is indeed fortunate to have such a dedicated team of trained volunteer firefighters. OLD BUSINESS:

RESCUE TRUCK REPLACEMENT: Fire Chief Jim Sullivan said that the specifications for the Engine 56 replacement fire truck have been completed. He hopes to have two price quotes ready for Board review by the next meeting.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE REVITALIZATION: Discussion revolved around tools for disaster notification to mountain residents. Bill Goebner and Frank Adams will review available technology and will report their findings at the February meeting.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT: All members and consultants except Steve Johnson (who is out of state) have signed the statement.

NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS NEEDED: The Board is looking for new directors for 2018. Joe Rockmore agreed to chair the nominating committee.

NEW BUSINESS: No new business.

Call to Order: Ingrid Hegerberg called the meeting to order at 7:02 pm.

Attendance: Board members present: Ingrid Hegerberg, President, Kathy Shubin, Vice President, Sam Penman, Eric Soult, Cindy Oldham, Betsy Rix, Audie Philiber, and Jenn Newhouse Soult.

Guests and neighbors: Eileen Fredrikson, Bev Anderson, Carol Forster, Mark Melville.

Secretary’s Report: Minutes of the last meeting were approved on line.

Treasurer’s Report: Eric Soult; Account Balance discussed, Four new members paid dues in the first week of the new year. There are 41 current member households, but most renewals are received later in January. Jenn will be updating the master list for publication in the February Echo to jog memories of non-renewing community residents.

Public Notices Received by KMA: No public notices.

Old Business:

Holiday Party: Wonderful compliments have been received about this event. Many liked the addition of mulled wine and described the party as warm and inviting. Thanks to all board members and helpers who decorated, staffed and planned the event.

Movie Night: The company the KMA used to legally license copyrighted movies notified us that they could not provide the necessary services. Another legal entity company was located but they require advance notice of the next three films to set up a KMA account. Set up and payment for the new account was approved. Betsy Rix will get the movie roster to the company in time for the March 7th Mid-Week Movie Night, showing Outsourced.

New Business – Open Agenda:

Guest: Mark Melville has been the Deputy Sheriff servicing our community for 5 years. He notified KMA that he will be running for Sherriff of San Mateo County and would like to host a forum at the Community Center. Mark was born and raised in San Francisco; he has residences in Half Moon Bay and the East Bay. His experience includes Police Chief, City Manager and Council Member. Mark is committed to the area and believes it is time for a change. We have not had a Sheriff’s election in 25 years. The Board expressed concerns about high speed vehicles on Skyline and will consider sponsoring a

candidate’s night closer to the election. Residents can visit Mark’s website at Melville4Sheriff2018.com or reach him by phone at 650-730-3187.

Annual Dinner and Board elections set for May 5th were discussed. CC capacity is 99 with recent average attendance at 60. A compelling Kings Mountain History night featuring Ken Fisher as speaker was suggested and approved. Eileen Fredrikson volunteered to contact Ken to determine his availability. Additional speaker topics of interest included a Puma Talk or a Mid Pen or POST speaker about hikes, walks and other programs readily available to Kings Mountain residents.

The purchase and set up of a Square device for electronic RSVP’s and payments was moved and approved. This will make it more convenient for both residents and KMA accounting of event revenues. Eric Soult will handle the matter and report back to the Board.

Two Board positions will be up for election at the May Annual Dinner. A nominating committee consisting of the former KMA President, two current board members and one member of the public was formed according to KMA by-laws to recruit excellent candidates. Cindy Oldham, Eileen Fredrikson, Kathy Shubin and Sybil Plank will make up the committee. They expect to begin by contacting persons who listed a willingness to serve on their KMA membership forms.

Guest: Eileen Fredrikson requested KMA sponsor an Author’s Forum to coincide with the publication of Echo articles about Kings Mountain Resident Authors. These could include a reading and question/answer session about the book topic or other literary questions residents might have about the process of writing and publishing. Forums would be scheduled quarterly. The first would feature Brenda Christiansen on Tuesday, February 27th discussing her “hot topic” book The $8 Man. Maria Polonchek, author of In Good Faith and Severo Ornstein, author of Computing in the Middle Ages, have also agreed to participate.

Next Meeting: 7:00 pm on February 14th, 2018 at the Community Center. Everyone is welcome!

The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 pm.

Is There Community Interest in Mid-week Movie Night?

MID-WEEK

Come meet and mingle with your neighbors prior to enjoying the interesting March and April films presented by KMA at the Community Center. Our excellent video equip-ment makes every movie feel like a private screening for friends. Curated by Jack and Betsy Rix, the pre-film talk never fails to give new insights that make the movies even more enjoyable. Save the dates for these great flicks: Wednesday, March 7 7:00 pm (snacks), 7:30 pm (movie) Hitchcock's Rear Window Jimmy Stewart captivates as a wheelchair-bound photographer who, out of boredom, starts spying on the neighbors from his Green-wich Village apartment courtyard window. What he sees makes him suspect one of them has committed murder. Grace Kelly dazzles as his socialite girlfriend who jumps in to solve the mystery with him. Raymond Burr's powerful performance smolders with menace and there are strong supporting roles from Thelma Ritter and Wendell Corey. The film is considered by many filmgoers and critics to be one of Hitchcock's best. 1954, 1 hr. 52 min.

Wedneday, April 4 7:00 pm (snacks), 7:30 pm (movie) Waiting for Guffman One of our most requested films at The Red Vic and the precur-sor to the popular Best in Show, which screened last year. Christopher Guest excels at mockumentaries, and in this gem, he assembles his troupe of regular actors who include Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer and Parker Posey. The city of Blaine, Missouri is celebrating its sesquicentennial, and they enlist a waaay off-Broadway director Corky St. Claire (Guest), to stage a musical celebrating the town's history. It stars some hilariously offbeat local amateur thespians (a dentist, a couple of travel agents, a Dairy Queen waitress and a car repair-man). And what a show they put on in this delightfully funny

comedy! Corky invites a Broadway theater critic, Mr. Guffman, to attend opening night. Will Guffman show? Come to the screening and find out. 1996, 1 hr. 24 min.

There is no charge to attend these movies, but please bring a bottle of wine, popcorn or munchies to share. Mid-week Movie Nights will continue on the first Wednesday of each month.

Author Forum, Tuesday, February 27 at 7:00 pm

Brenda Christensen reading from Her Book, The $8 Man Kings Mountain Community Center

Long-time Kings Mountain resident Brenda Christensen has written a timely book that informs the “hot topic” immigration debate currently ablaze in the U.S. Your editor can only say that Brenda’s book, The $8 Man, reveals an entirely surprising, mostly unknown and very inspiring reality about immigrants from India during the 1960s and 1970s. This non-fiction narrative is a complete de-parture from the constant harangue of elected offi-cials and news reporters telling us what is wrong and how we should be fearful about those that might have a different background than our own. These are stories of inspiration and stories that you can take back to your family, friend groups and organizations to be a catalyst for all of us to do better.

The title, “The $8 Man” refers to the stipend the government of India gave to young men seek-ing funding help for higher education in North America. Although it was chronically short of for-eign exchange during the 1960s to 1980s, India encouraged it’s youth to go abroad for advanced education. As Kailash Joshi put it, “In effect they said, we love you, but you are on your own. We will hand you eight dollars for a taxi and wish you good luck.” Joshi became a General Manager at IBM and a prominent industry leader.

Brenda refers to herself as an editor rather than an author. Long a believer in the value of storytelling, her book is a compilation of first person stories from technology in-novators to community activists who were first wave immigrants to the U.S. and Can-ada. Some devoted their lives to community building within their adopted countries or established diverse philanthropic organizations from rainwater harvesting for cities to lifting thousands out of poverty through education. Some founded technology compa-nies that revolutionized the way technology was designed and how data centers oper-ated. They are some of the reasons that the US is dominant in technology and it didn’t fall to Europe or Japan.

Brenda will be sharing excerpts from her book and will explain how this group of people came to North America with $8 in their pockets to become one of the most edu-cated, entrepreneurial and philanthropic immigrant groups ever to assimilate.

Please join us for what promises to be a fascinating discussion. If you cannot make her reading at the Community Center, you can purchase her book through Amazon ei-ther in paperback or e-reader editions. She will have a limited number of copies avail-able for purchase at the event. Please see this web site for more information: www.the8dollarman.com

February 2018 School News Although our Kings Mountain forest needs rain, teachers and students at KMES were

not disappointed when Punxsutawney Phil, (the world-famous groundhog), saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter. The pleasantly mild temperatures this year have added a happy dimension to school days at KMES. In her weekly newsletter to par-ents, Principal Diane Siegel put it this way, “it is a pleasure to watch our students fully enjoy their lunch recess, here on the mountain, in the heart of winter. Lunch recess is when the magic of our mountain school is most visible, with multi-age lunch and play groups, older children guiding younger children, children of all ages enjoying the thrill of flight on the swings. (Yes, they can soar!)”

Principal Siegel emphasized the strong social emotional cur-

riculum, Second Step, which supports the personal growth vital to student well-being. Following fall lessons focused on foundational skills such as EMPATHY and HOW TO CALM DOWN, students have begun tackling the important skill of Problem Solving. Lesson steps break into: Say the problem out loud without blame; Think of Solutions; Explore the Consequences, (what would happen if); Pick the Best Solution; Make your plan. These are life skills that we all need and practice daily but probably did not have the benefit of having them taught in our elementary schools.

Monday, January 22nd brought the Annual Scripps National Spell-ing Bee to KMES. Four champions from each classroom competed for the title of Kings Mountain School Spelling Champion. Fourth grader, Daisy Weatherly, pictured here, remained standing after ten rounds of tough competition. Third grader Akshaya Karmegam was runner up. Congratulations and good luck to Daisy. She will go on to represent Kings Mountain Elementary School at the regional com-petition on Saturday, February 10th in Berkeley. There she will join spelling champions from 200 California schools taking a rigorous written exam. 50 students will be selected to go on to the next round of competition.

January 25th brought parents and grandparents to school for the Morning Math Celebration. A comprehensive presentation about shifts in math standards was followed by classroom immersion math problem work with their kids. A video you can find at https://www.youcubed.org/ introduced the new concepts. It is well worth a click through view from all of us, whether we have kids in school or not. Students are taught to work collaboratively on math problems that require strategic and extended thinking rather than memorization. Principal Siegal described the parent/child math activities at KMES this way: “Exploring alongside their children, parents tackled inquiry problems from Stanford

-12-

University’s youcubed program. Youcubed is a math site and program created by Professor Jo Boaler, using Growth Mindset concepts of Profes-sor Carol Dweck. Youcubed math approach em-phasizes ‘learning and exploration’, rather than performance (quick correct answers) to foster ‘empowered thinkers’.” One parent ex-pressed it this way to your editor, “It’s so exciting to see how our kids are going to learn math in the real world!”

The Music program which is always a highlight experience at KMES took an exciting

turn at the end of January. Music teacher Paul Godwin utilized the 2/3 class as ensemble players to try a new composition he had written. The students used xylophones, metallo-phones, glockenspiels and pitched plastic tubes called Boomwhackers. The composition, called “3x5” will be debuted at a concert in Pacifica with adult musicians on May 18th. The KMES kids were “test subjects” to see if the complex polyrhythms (3 beats played against 5 beats) could be accomplished by novice musicians – Our kids did it and did it well! Mean-while the 4/5 kids worked on small group theatre games, acting out a Disney movie while the rest guessed it. There were lots of laughs with the learning and everyone got them right. Teacher Paul says “perhaps the nicest part of my day at KMES is the K-1 class where we explore rhythm rhymes and get to translate it to body percussion and unpitched percussion, but they always demand “See the Pony Galloping” as our finale.”

Second trimester reading assessments began at month end. Thanks to KMAP for fund-

ing a substitute, each teacher was able to spend an entire day with Principal Siegel working on in depth assessments of each child’s reading. These included every student’s word solv-ing strategies, reading fluency and comprehension. The assessments help teachers and li-brarians guide student book choices, form reading groups, and inform whole class and small group instruction. When completed, reading levels will be shared with parents.

“Cauliflower “Steaks”: These are yummy! Stand a head of cauliflower upright and slice it verti-cally down the middle (so the stem is cut lengthwise down its center). Next, take each half and, slicing vertically, cut it into several ¾”- thick “steaks” which will each be semi-circular shaped. Heat 2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan and fry the “steaks” a few minutes on each side until they’re slightly browned. The cooking caramelizes some of the cauliflower starches to sugars. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. These “steaks” look hearty and are tasty. A sprinkling of cumin, coriander and paprika offers an Asian twist. A sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese is really good! Serve with roasted carrots and potatoes for a great vegetarian meal. “Tater-Tot Waffles”: Buy a bag of “Tater-Tots”. (Did you think I’d ever write that?) Thaw them. Heat up the waffle iron and give it a quick light coating of cooking oil. Smash a handful of Tater-Tots together, put them in the waffle iron, press down the top and make a “waffle”. It’s the foun-dation for what can be a grand savory breakfast. Top the waffle with some crème fresh and smoked salmon. Try sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes and a little salt and pepper. Or goat cheese and sliced pear. How about a couple of fried eggs on top? Kids will like these “waffles” with applesauce. Not all milks are created equal! Many people have “issues” with milk arising either from its high carbohydrate content or from high levels of a particular protein in it – A-1 beta-casein. An inter-esting new milk offering is becoming increasingly available. It’s branded “fairlife”; comes in a plastic 1-1/2 quart container. It’s an ultra-filtered cow’s milk. The 2% lowfat fairlife has half the sugar, 30% more calcium and 50% more protein than regular 2% milk. And it’s lactose free! It tastes really good too. To me it has a pleasant, slightly nutty flavor. (You’ll find fairlife at Safe-way and Lunardis.) Another expanding milk offering is “A2 milk”. The typical widely available Holstein cow’s milk has lots of both A1 and A2 beta-casein proteins. For some people the A1 protein can be more inflammatory and difficult to digest, creating stomach distress sometimes mistaken by consumers as lactose intolerance. That A1 protein is much less prevalent in milk from Jersey, Guernsey and many European, Asian and African cow breeds. They’re the source of A2 milk! (These are generally brown cows verses Holsteins which are black and white.) An attraction of goat milk is that it, too, is lower in A1 and higher in A2 proteins than regular Holstein milk. Help!! The Art Fair Cookshack wants to replace vegi-burgers with some other vegetarian menu selection. Your suggestions are solicited. It needs to be something that can be easily assem-bled and bagged; that will stay fresh and appetizing for an hour or so after assembly. It can be something warm or cold. Any ingredient cooking (other than limited reheating of an ingredient in a warmer) has to be done entirely the day before the fair. A vegetarian sandwich offering could be ideal. Submit your suggestions by email to me at martinmeisenberg@gmail.com. I’ll announce the winner in a future Musing. The winning submitter gets a free one opening day of the fair! _______________________________________
