Thursday, April 30, 1970 ST. HELENA STAR, ST. HELENA, NAPA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Page Seven A new business is about open in Calistoga, in case you haven't already noticed. Groves Interiors and Antiques, on the property that was once Helen's Cafe, is the new establishment. It's amazing what a little paint and carpentry can do.

After the cafe closed the existing structures got to looking pretty bad. Now the whole complex i is an attractive addition to the southern entrance to Calistoga. This weekend marks the first auto race of the year at the Napa County Fairgrounds. Those who enjoy seeing the big cars spin around half-mile course can see them this Sunday starting at 1 p.m. For those looking for indoor entertainment circle your calendars for the following weekend, May 8 and 9.

That's when the senior class at Calistoga High School is putting on its production of "Cheaper By The Dozen," a well-known family comedy. Under the direction of Mrs. Phyllis Broyles, the play has as its stage manager John Arends. Playing the father, Mr. Galbraith, will be Paul King, (recently returned from a week's stay in the nation's capital, also Boy Scout to New Zealand) while his wife will be portrayed by Joelle Westerman (second runner-up in the Miss Napa County contest).

How's that for two leading roles. The eldest daughter will be played by Lynn Tuttle (former Maid of Napa County, more recently a Native Son's speech contest winner) and the two Galbraith chiidren whose reminiscences are responsible for the play's plot, are Gail Dick (former leading lady in St. Helena Players Under The Yum Yum Tree), and Dan Carroll (a CHS athlete and CSF'er). With other seniors rounding out the cast, all of whom are hard at work preparing for their debuts, the play promises to bring lively entertainment to the CHS gymnasium. So save one of the dates.

Recently announced were the winners of the American Legion Auxiliary's contest. Winning first prize in the 7th 9th grade "One Nation Under God" category was Judy Drawsky, Mark WilkinsOn was second. Janice Houck third while Dave Agapoff received honorable mention. In the 10th 12th grade "I Believe In America" contest Rosie McCormick was winner followed by Julie Varvaro second, Sarah Hembrow third and Lynn Tuttle honorable mention. In the recently conducted Round-Robin men's doubles tennis ladder play conducted by the Napa Valley Tennis Association and open to all valley tennis players, Bob Losey and son, Kip, ended in 6th place of the 20 teams entered.

There were two father and son teams entered. Kip was the youngest of the 40 participants at 14. The oldest was over 65. Now teams may challenge one another for places on the ladder, It's a fine way to meet competition that is of near ability to one's own and a way to meet other players CALISTOGA NEWS in the area. Now anyone wanting to enter a mixed doubles tournament, will have an opportunity to do so.

This will be a two day tourney with details to be found on the sports page. Mrs. Tina Scharf of Calistoga is slated to represent the Calistoga Civic Club at a State Convention of Federated Women's Clubs to be held in Los Angeles next week. The Girl Scout Council of San Francisco has bought Green Mountain Gardens, formerly owned by the Tom Eckarts who now live in Florida. There are about 200 acres there which the scouts will now use as their summer camp grounds.

The lower portion of the pro perty was at one time a dazzing summer display of outstanding tuberous begonias in a natural forest setting. A survey has recently been made of the music department at the local schools by Leo Bardes, former student here, later music teacher in St. Helena schools and now chairman of the music department at San Mateo JC. A music committee is also involved in the project of what to do about music in the schools. Active on this committee are Betty Heneks and Kathy Wiles, co-chairmen, Ethel Wycoff, Everett Fechter, Ted Kohler, Charles Kramer, Lester Cavagnaro, Rex Groves and Ivah White.

It is hoped that Mr. Barde's forthcoming report can be used as a blueprint for the reconstruction of an active music program for Calistoga schools. An interesting sidelight to the recent visit made by musician Leo Bardes to Calistoga last week was the fact that he "discovered" a very large Redwood tree on the school grounds that he had planted and watered back in 1938 when he was only second, grader and it was only three feet high. Mr. Bardes is older now, of course, but so is the tree.

which must be all of 60 feet tall. No less than 75 applications were received by the Calistoga School District for the position of high school principal. It would indicate that there are a lot of administrators looking for a change of employment and many obviously wanting to come to a rural community such as Calistoga. Many people these days are expressing an urgent desire to leave the big cities for country living. Of course those of us already here, or native to the area, already know its advantages.
