The San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden presents an informative talk by California Department of Fish and Game Wildlife Biologists Rocky Thompson and Marc Kenyon on Saturday, Jan. 14, 2012 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Although common in San Luis Obispo County, bears and mountain lions are not often encountered. In this talk they will discuss the biology of bears and mountain lions with particular emphasis on behavior, potential human interaction and how to avoid problems. They will also discuss actions to take in the event of a bear or mountain lion encounter.  Rocky Thompson, a senior wildlife biologist, is a native of San Luis Obispo he graduated from Cal Poly in 1983 with a master’s degree in wildlife biology. He has worked for the Department of Fish and Game throughout the state for over 25 years. Marc Kenyon coordinates the black bear, mountain lion and wild pig programs for the California Department of Fish and Game. He has worked with the department for five years following work as a private lands biologist for Ducks Unlimited, a bear biologist for the National Parks Service in Yosemite and as a wildlife specialist with the Cooperative Extension Program in Montana. Marc has a bachelor of science in wildlife biology from UC Davis and a master’s degree in animal and range sciences from Montana State University, Bozeman. Marc enjoys hiking, fishing, hunting and camping with his wife of 12 years and two wonderful children.
The presentation is $5 for members and $10 non-members and is followed at 2 p.m. by a free docent-led tour of the Garden. A children’s event, The Animals Around Us, will be held concurrently at 1p.m. in the Garden of Exploration, donations accepted.

Bicycle Dreams, the award-winning feature-length documentary about the Race Across America, will premiere at 7 p.m. Feb. 9 at the Palm Theatre in San Luis Obispo. The screening is sponsored as a benefit for the SLO County Bicycle Coalition. The film, which has won numerous awards at film festivals all over the world, “is an up-close look at what Race Across America (RAAM) riders go through,” says Stephen Auerbach, the director and producer of Bicycle Dreams. “They deal with searing desert heat, agonizing mountain climbs, and endless stretches of open road. And they do it all while battling extreme exhaustion and sleep deprivation. It’s a great subject for a film.” |

In this holiday season, when every dollar counts, we all want to find that elusive gift that is the perfect expression of appreciation for a friend.
We want to give a quality gift that has a wonderful memory attached to it. We watch "It’s a Wonderful Life" and hope that we, too, are making a difference in our community. The Museum of Art’s Craft Art Market is a wonderful way to give, and then give again. Every one-of-a-kind gift item supports local artists and raises money for the youth art education scholarship fund. The Museum of Art’s Nybak Wing is a cache of treasures created by local artisans. Find a dazzling array of artful gifts, including holiday ornaments, fine jewelry, textiles, home décor, ceramics and intricate pottery. The Craft Art Market draws visitors from all over the region who are searching for unique, distinctive gifts that are beautiful, whimsical and functional.
And if you don’t find the perfect gift to share, you can always give the gift of a Museum membership. When you buy one membership, you will get a second membership to keep or share.
The market is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Christmas Day. It closes at 3 p.m. on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. |

The San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden on Saturday, November 12 at 1 p.m. will teach gardeners about the basics of watering your landscape with graywater, rainwater and other alternative water sources. Mladen Bandov is an environmental engineer who helped with the design of our own Glen Oak Pavilion Wastewater Treatment System. He has experience with water recycling for your home and business, such as reusing graywater for your landscape and harvesting rainwater for your garden. As long as the cost for water continues to rise, finding a way to capture and reuse water makes sense. He has lots of information to share about why and how to begin saving more water for your garden. |

You don't have to be a jazz buff to enjoy Ain't Misbehavin'. Like Fats Waller himself, you just have to love a good time. This fast paced romp takes you where the high-steppers partied, from honky-tonk dives to the Cotton Club, from Tin Pan Alley to The Waldorf.
Ain't Misbehavin' is a musical that encompasses 30 show-stopping numbers that takes you on a journey not only through the Fats Waller song book, but through Harlem in its heyday. With snazzy period costumes, complete with bowlers and spats and ermine and pearls, the dynamic five-member cast turns Jazz Alley into a rollicking rent party. |
