Local Swimmers Head to Olympic Trials
This July, athletes and
spectators from around
the world will flock
to London, England
for the 2012 Olympic
Summer Games. But
before the main event,
a competition as
fierce as any they will
encounter awaits each
Josh Prenot
athlete in the form of
the Olympic Trials.
This month two local swimmers will be
among the 1,000+ to converge in Omaha,
Nebraska for the Olympic Team Trials in
swimming.
Orcutt resident Meghan Zimmer, 22,
and Josh Prenot, 18 , both members of the
Santa Maria Swim Club, are two swimmers
with a love for the sport and a heart to win.
“It’s a very rewarding sport,” says

Prenot, “When you work
hard all season it pays off
and those who work hard
see results. And I think that
applies to life as well – you
won’t always get instant
gratification.”
“I’ve been swimming since
I was really young,” says
Zimmer, “I tried other sports
but didn’t do as well in
them. And I come from a
long line of swimmers so it’s in my blood
to get in the water. It’s really a passion of
mine.”
Prenot is about to head off to University
of California, Berkeley (editor's side note:
Go Bears!) to study physics while Zimmer
is set to graduate from San Diego State.
Both young athletes recognize the benefits
of swimming, even outside of the pool.
“You get a lot of
great things from
it,” agrees Zimmer,
“It teaches you drive
and commitment
and discipline.”
“They’re great
people,” says Coach
Mike Ashmore of
the pair, “Megan
has been swimming
since she was seven
Meghan Zimmer
and Josh since he
was about six so I’ve
seen them at their best and at their worst. I
think they’re both going to do great things
and they’re great representatives of our
program.”
Prenot will be competing in the 200

medley, and the 100 and 200 breaststroke,

So how does it feel to know
you’re going to the Olympic
Trials?
"I’m excited,” says Prenot,
“These are the fastest
swimmers in the world, so
it’s pressure-filled, but I think
it will be a great experience to
have. I’m excited to see what
I can do and maybe make a
name for myself.”
“I’m overjoyed,” says Zimmer, “This is a
lifelong dream of mine. I’ve been training
my whole life. I’ve missed the trials by
less than a second twice so there is some
relief as well as excitement. It’s quite an
opportunity.”

These days it’s all about technology.
If you want to see or be seen then you
inevitably hit the internet. And now
Old Town Orcutt will be the latest small
town to share its charms with the World
Wide Web.
The Old Town Orcutt Revitalization
Association and the Old Town Merchants
Association have teamed up in creating
an all-new website specifically for Old
Town Orcutt.
“This site will be a universal site for
Old Town,” says Merchants Association
president Loren Gasser, “We will have
one site that will send you everywhere
you need to go.”
The site, which is currently being
designed by a professional web design
company, will include pages for local
businesses as well as information
about schools, churches, clubs, and
local organizations. It will feature
news, events, maps, and full color
photographs.
“We want to create a cohesive image,”
says OTORA treasurer Brett Krauss,
“This is something we’ve never had
before and we felt it was really worth
the investment. We want to promote
Old Town Orcutt and provide a really
nice website not just for locals, but for
tourists too.”
For now the web address is being
kept under wraps, but merchants
interested in participating can contact
OTORA. For a one time donation/
sponsorship, businesses can have their
own customized pages on the new site.
“We’ve received a lot of support,” says
Krauss, “It should be about thirty days
before we’re up and running.”

To the Editor
I would like to take this opportunity
to thank you the voters for your support
in the recent election for 4th District
County Supervisor. I am honored by your
confidence in me, and ask you for your
continued input and direction.
Over this past week the Board of
Supervisors has been taking public input
on balancing the budget. Unlike the
State and Federal Government, counties
must have a balanced budget and cannot
deficit spend. Budget Hearings are when
the Board determines the priorities that
set direction for decisions that affect our
community. It is very important that we
receive input from as many residents as
possible so that we can make the best
decisions possible for the County and in
particular North County.
I look forward to hearing from you on
your ideas and how I can assist you in
anyway.
Your faith and confidence in me is very
much appreciated. I will continue to
work for and advocate for North County
priorities. Such priorities as the Hwy 101
improvements, Union Valley Interchange,
the new Orcutt Library and the Lompoc
Veterans Memorial Building only occur with
strong advocacy. I will continue to represent
the 4th District with 100% of my time and
ability, advocating on your behalf.

Orcutt History
This column is taken from, From Boom
Town to Bedroom Community: A History
of Orcutt, California, 1904-1982, by Sally
L. Simon. Copies can be purchased at The
Loading Dock, Company’s Coming, OTORA
and the Santa Maria Historical Society.
Orcutt experienced its heyday between
1904 and 1920, becoming a larger trading
center than Santa Maria. By 1906, the
town had two general stores, a furnishing
store, a millinery shop, a vegetable and
fruit market, a meat market, an ice cream
parlor, two restaurants, a hotel, three
saloons, two barber shops, a livery stable,
a blacksmith shop, a post office, a shoe
store, three oil well supply companies, a
railway depot and siding, the Union Oil
Company headquarters and the offices
of the local Standard Oil Company
operations. James F. Forbes built the first
store in Orcutt, part of which consisted
of the old Graciosa school, which he
had moved from the southwest corner
of Clark Avenue and Marcum Street to
his property on the southwest corner of
Clark Avenue and Broadway. The entire
structure, however, was destroyed by fire
in 1910. In fact, most of the commercial
structures constructed during Orcutt's
initial period of development were
in later years destroyed by fire or torn
down. According to Adelina Phillips,
descendant of the pioneer Marcum family
and longtime Orcutt area resident, the
only commercial building remaining is
the Commercial Hotel. It was built in 1905
and operated by members of the Marcum
family. During the early development
period, the town's residential area also
grew. Twitchell's Addition was laid out
north of the original town; that is, on the
north side of Clark Avenue. Gray's Division
was just east of First Street. Longtime
Orcutt residents maintain that some of
the original homes built in these sections
of town are still in use. By 1921, the town
had grown to include a hospital, a bank, a
reading room and branch library, a church,
a school, three garages and filling stations,
and two dance halls. The locally prominent
Orcutt Mercantile was built in 1911 on
the southwest corner of Clark Avenue and
Broadway, after James F. Forbes' first store
was destroyed. A landmark in Orcutt for
many years, it too burned down in 1959.
The first official Orcutt School, a tworoom, wooden structure, was located on
the north side of the 300 block of Clark
Avenue. It was torn down in the early
1920s. However, the hospital, church,
and bank buildings are still standing.
While many people lived and worked in
the town, a large population center also
developed in the hills to the south. Oil
workers' camps were established among

the derricks on the hillsides. Workers and
their families lived there for years, first in
"tent cities" and later in cottages. Many
of the houses were built by the Union Oil
Company employees. The population
in the hills was large enough to require
the formation of three additional school
districts between 1904 and 1908. The
Bicknell and Careaga districts, established
in 1904, were south of the Graciosa Ridge.
The Newlove School District, established
in 1908, was located on Union Oil
Company property on Newlove Hill (now
called Orcutt Hill) just southeast of Old
Town Orcutt. The school constructed
by the district is the only early school
building remaining in the Orcutt area. A
large, two-room structure, it is used today
for community gatherings.
Public services in the Orcutt area
were fairly primitive in the boom years.
There was no public sewer, electricity,
or fire protection in the town until the
1920s. Roads were unpaved for many
years. The main oiled County road,
laid out in 1861, came up from Santa

Barbara, passed through Los Alamos,
ran westward, down the San Antonio
Valley and turned northward through the
Graciosa Pass. The road veered right to
turn into Orcutt (where it was called Clark
Avenue), proceeded through the heart of
town, and then turned left to continue
running northward toward Santa Maria.
It was taken into the state highway system
in 1909 and renumbered Route 2, but no
improvements were made until 1915. The
road was also a segment of the main San
Francisco-to-San Diego coastal highway.
Travelers stopped to eat and rest in Orcutt;
their patronage was important to the local
economy for many years.
Water was supplied from several private
sources. Union Oil had its own water
company which served the people on
the hill and in the town, south of Clark
Avenue. The Twitchell family, which
originally owned much of the land
north of Clark Avenue, supplied water to
residents living in that section of town
for many years. Those living outside of
the area served by those two sources
provided water for themselves from their
own wells. Fires were a severe problem in
the early days because of the widespread
use of wood in construction and reliance
upon kerosene lanterns and gas stoves.
Buildings that caught fire were totally
destroyed. Residents simply concentrated
their efforts on removing belongings from
the burning structure and on preventing
the spread of the fire.46
Union Oil Company first sold natural
gas to Orcutt's residents and later the
Santa Maria Oil and Gas Company
provided gas to the town. In 1928, the
latter company was acquired by Pacific
Lighting Corporation, but it continued
to operate independently until 1941. It
was then merged with another Pacific
Lighting subsidiary, Southern Counties
Gas Company. In 1970, Southern Counties
was merged with yet another Pacific
Lighting subsidiary, Southern California
Gas Company, which now serves the
Orcutt area.
Policing, for the most part, was left to
the Town Constable. The County Sheriff's
Department came into Orcutt only if a
particular situation was especially difficult
to handle. Then, according to Willard
Forbes, son of Orcutt's first merchant,
the Sheriff would "come up and arrest
people for gambling and they'd arrest the
prostitutes too, if they could catch them.”
As a boom town, early Orcutt saw its share
of drinking, gambling, and carousing.
Petroleum development gave Orcutt its
reason for being and business was brisk.
Oil production rose from 95,000 barrels
per year in 1902 to 3,742,249 barrels
annually by the middle of 1920. While
small oil companies continued operating
in the area, Union Oil Company was by
far the largest operation. It was the major
employer and consumer of materials
and supplies, providing income for local
farmers, ranchers, and contractors as well
as oil field workers. Then, in the years
1914-1918, the First World War gave a
strong new push to the already thriving
local economy. More oil workers arrived
to increase production in response to
wartime demands. Farmers also prospered
during the war, for the price of beans and
grains rose. However, this was a boom that
could only be temporary.

Orcutt Schools Update
Graduations a Triumph for School Board
Bob Bush, Superintendent
Orcutt Union School District
In June, the Orcutt Union School District
celebrated a record five graduations.
These events are special. They are
triumphant occasions for individual
students, their families, and everyone who
had a part in educating them.
But graduations also are important,
validating events for our school district
and our leaders, the district Board of
Trustees. Let me elaborate.
To begin, Orcutt Academy High School’s
graduation on June 8 was quite historic. It
was the school’s first-ever commencement,
and it also was the first time our district
has awarded high school diplomas. More
important, it marked the fruition of a
dream held by the members of our school
board – Rob Buchanan, Bob Hatch, Kathy
Meissner, Dr. Jim Peterson, and Jan Zilli.
“Without the board’s willingness to take
a risk and do a good thing for our kids, (the
graduation) wouldn’t have happened,”
says former district superintendent Dr.
Sharon Klempen, who with the board
developed the vision for the Orcutt

Academy. “(The board) felt strongly that
giving kids more choice was the right
thing, and they never wavered in support
of the staff and me as we went through the
process of planning the school.”
Members of the board – along with Dr.
Klempen and retired district administrator
Dr. Ken Parker – delighted in handing
diplomas to the high school’s 90 students.
Adds Dr. Klempen, “I was overwhelmed
with pride and gratitude to our board
and staff and community for giving kids
this opportunity. It made me cry – it was
awesome.”
Meanwhile, the district’s four eighthgrade graduations also were special.
Taking place in succession on June 14,
the ceremonies for Lakeview Junior High
School (200 graduates), Orcutt Junior
High School (190 graduates), the Orcutt
Academy’s K-8 campus (nine graduates),
and Olga Reed School (25 graduates)
marked the completion of an educational
body of work encompassing both junior
high school and elementary school.
“We were pleased with this group of
students,” says Lakeview Principal Alan

Majewski. “We enjoyed working with
them, and we feel we did a nice job
educating them. In addition, we also feel
that our kids are coming to us extremely
well prepared by our elementary schools.
The kids are not missing a beat when they
come to junior high.”
“We had a nice group,” adds Orcutt
Principal Susan Salucci. “We wish them
the greatest success in high school.”
Once again, our school board can receive
credit for its leadership and personal
investment in living up to the district’s
motto, “Kids Come First.”
During a time when student enrollment
continues to decline and school budgets
continue to shrink, the board remains
resolute that students are the top priority
and that we work to minimize the impact
of cuts on the classroom. In addition, the
board’s careful monitoring of the district
budget has kept our district away from
furlough days that would shorten the
school year and inconvenience families.
Though they may be larger than we
would prefer, class sizes continue to be
manageable. Grounds are maintained,
our campuses are safe and clean, and our
schools continue to be places where staff,
parents, and families come together on
behalf of children.
The board’s role in all this is critical. As
my predecessor, Dr. Klempen, says, “Our
board is simply all about doing the right
thing for kids. That’s all that matters to
them.”
I would like to conclude this column by
paying tribute to five teachers who retired
in June. Our retirees – Jean Byrne of
Lakeview Junior High School, Susie West
of Pine Grove School, and Bruce Mulcahy,
Diane Roughley, and April Viau of Ralph
Dunlap School – collectively taught in
this district for over 120 years. That’s a lot
of years, and a lot of lives these educators
have impacted!
Here’s wishing Jean, Susie, Bruce, Diane,
and April the very, very best in the years
to come.
