Welcome t
o Lemoore!
Welcome to Lemoore! The Chamber is pleased to present our
2014 - 2015 Lemoore Chamber of Commerce Directory.
As you will see from the articles in this publication, we have tremendous
pride in our past and present. Lemoore is a wonderful community to
be a part of, and we sincerely hope that you will experience our unique
combination of small town charm and friendliness with an emphasis
on collaboration. We are fortunate to have a number of thriving familyowned, small businesses working side by side with progressive industries,
state-of-the art entertainment and educational facilities, a US Naval
Station, a large agriculture community and ag support services.
We take great pride in being identified with the Navy’s newest, largest,
and only west coast master jet base. As home for all Navy F/A-18 Hornet
and Super Hornet aircraft on the west coast, the installation’s mission is to
train, maintain, man and equip the fighter jets in support of the U.S. Pacific
Fleet. The military and civilian populations of Lemoore form a wonderful
mix of new and old friends. Many military families choose to retire in
Lemoore because of the positive experience they have had during their
tour of duty at Naval Air Station Lemoore. The Navy employees and their
families make significant contributions to both the social and economic
fabric of Lemoore and the residents share in their sense of duty and
commitment to the nation’s defense.
The Lemoore Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, employees,
and volunteers take our mission statement seriously: “It is the mission of
Lemoore Chamber of Commerce to be the leader in our community for
building sustainable economic growth, advocating for a pro-business
climate and enhancing Lemoore’s working relationships with Lemoore
Naval Air Station, City, Education, Tourism, Business and Agricultural
interests.” The Chamber plays a very pivotal role in bringing all the players
to the table to insure that “the whole is much greater than the sum of its
parts.”
Enjoy your time in Lemoore, and if the Chamber can assist you in any
way, please call us or drop by our beautiful office located in the historic
Southern Pacific Train Depot in Downtown Lemoore.
Sincerely,
Lemoore Chamber of Commerce Board Members & Staff

Cit
y of Lemoore
emoore, incorporated July 11, 1900, was named
after Dr. Lee Moore, a pioneer who took the first
steps to organize the community with their first
post office. Lemoore is equidistant from both the
Los Angeles and San Francisco metropolitan areas.
Positioned at the crossroads of Highway 198 and
41, Lemoore has direct access to Interstate 5 and
Highway 99, which are both just 25 miles away.
A city with a 2012 population estimate of over 25,000,
Lemoore boasts a strong relationship with Naval Air
Station Lemoore as their good neighbor. The Air
Station is home to 16 air strike fighter squadrons
who support aircraft carriers in the Pacific Fleet.
Lemoore projects steady growth due to the Naval Air
Station, which also supplies the local economy with
a stable and well educated labor force from military
dependents and retirees.
Home to West Hills Community College, an
Accredited Junior College, the Lemoore Campus has
approximately 4,500 students in attendance. The
college opened their new campus with a library,
administration building and classroom building
in January 2002, which was Phase I of a ten-year
construction plan. The completion of Phase II
in January 2006 provided additional classroom
buildings and a child development center to the
107-acre campus. A Grand Opening celebration was
held for Phase III of campus construction on April 1,
2011 and includes a 55,000 square-foot, two-story
multipurpose arena. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin
was the guest speaker. Later in the year, former
First Lady, Laura Bush, graced the campus with her
presence as she spoke to the crowd as part of the
school’s distinguished lecturer and performer’s
series.
Lemoore’s rail connection to the Union Pacific
Railroad freight service is provided through the San
Joaquin Valley Railroad for freight cars up to 286,000
lbs. An AMTRAK passenger station is located eight
miles away in Hanford. Fresno-Yosemite International
Airport is within 35 miles of Lemoore and provides
both freight and passenger service. Lemoore also
has access to Hanford’s Municipal Airport with its
6
5,600 foot runway, less than 10 miles away. Kings
Area Rural Transit (KART) has daily commuter service
to and around Lemoore connecting people to every
community within Kings County.
There are two industrial parks within the city limits
zoned for highway commercial and industrial
development. Both parks are within the Kings
County Enterprise Zone, the South San Joaquin
Recycling Market Development Zone, and the SBA
HUBZone.
The Lemoore Industrial Park is located at the
crossroads of Highways 41 and 198 with easy access
to both. The Park consists of approximately 400
acres of improved and unimproved land. Parcels
from 1 to 100 acres are available. Over 100 acres are
owned by the City of Lemoore. Sales prices range
from $10,000 to $65,000 per acre. The terrain is flat,
drainage is good, subsoil is sandy loam and piling
is not required. The property is served by 12-inch
water mains. Sewer lines range in size from 6-15
inches.
The 240-acre Kings River Business & Industry Park
is located west of Highway 41 adjacent to the San
Joaquin Valley Railroad. Approximately, 150 acres
are available for development. Sites with rail access
are still available. The City was awarded an EDA grant
to construct streets, install water and sewer lines and
increase capacity at the wastewater treatment plant
to accommodate additional industrial businesses.
Construction was completed Fall 2005.
Recreation in Lemoore consists of an 18-hole golf
course, five City parks, two baseball/softball parks,
a soccer complex, five playgrounds, youth and adult
wrestling, boxing and basketball leagues, tennis
courts, a skate park, a paintball facility, a skeet
field, and a midget race track. There are numerous
adult, youth and senior citizen activity clubs and
civic organizations established in Lemoore as well.
Fishing and hunting opportunities are nearby. The
Sierra Nevada Mountains and the beaches of the
Pacific Coast are both within a two-hour drive.

service oriented businesses. Two of the original historic hotel buildings,
the Antlers and the Lucerne, have had major restorations and now
accommodate upstairs tenants as well as downstairs businesses. The
historic Odd Fellows Lodge houses downstairs business tenants and still
has an active Lodge membership that dates back to the 19th century.
There are also four beautiful privately-funded murals downtown, painted
by Colleen Chronister, that depict the history of Lemoore.
The Downtown Merchants Association welcomes you to stroll the streets
of Lemoore and discover what a welcoming and charming shopping
experience you can have. Start out by taking the “Downtown Lemoore
Historic Walking Tour” (Map on page 20 & 21), have lunch at one the

The Lemoore Downtown Merchants Association (DMA) consists of a
committee of 9 merchants who represent the Merchants of Downtown
Lemoore. The goal with these businesses is to enhance and improve
the quality of our small town. These businesses can only survive with
the community of Lemoore. This past year the committee has hosted
a few events to showcase the downtown business area to people who
may not otherwise shop our downtown. This is also a way to give back
to the community and say thanks for supporting your local businesses.
Our events are always free admission and family oriented so everyone can
enjoy a night out with the family. We look forward to many more events
in the future.

emoore, a hub for manufacturing, home to state-of-the-art processing
facilities and a modern master jet base at Naval Air Station Lemoore.
Lemoore still combines small town warmth, convenience and personal
service, with an emphasis on 21st century service. The City of Lemoore
business community has many amenities and services to offer its residents
and nearby communities.
Lemoore is…
A City on the Rise
Lemoore is a city preparing for the future while preserving the best of its
past. Lemoore has enjoyed a steady population increase of four and five
percent over the past few years. Site location consultants are impressed
with the advantages that we have to offer expanding and relocating
companies a hardworking labor force, large tracts of affordable land,
enterprise zone incentives, foreign trade zone designation, and a probusiness environment. Yet, Lemoore retains the charm and beauty of a
small rural town with its turn-of-the-century buildings and residences.
A City with Market Access
Lemoore is located in the heart of Central California’s San Joaquin Valley.
Our location is equidistant from both the Los Angeles and San Francisco
metropolitan areas. Lemoore is positioned at the crossroads of Highway
198 and 41, giving us direct access to Interstate 5 and Highway 99, both
just 25 miles away. The Fresno/Yosemite International Airport, located
just 35 miles away, services both commercial and freight air traffic.
A City with an Abundant Workforce
The available labor force in Lemoore has the benefit of being very diverse.
Because of our heavy agricultural ties, there is an abundance of unskilled
and semi-skilled general labor. But, there is also a significant amount
of skilled workers with a variety of educational and technical training
backgrounds. Many of our residents are related to navy personnel
stationed at NAS Lemoore or were prior military themselves and have
chosen to reside permanently in Lemoore. Technical training is available
from West Hills College, Chapman University, College of the Sequoias, and
the Kings County Job Training Office.
A City with a Pro Business Attitude
The City of Lemoore is committed to working with both local and
future business and industry. The City Council and the City Manager
are dedicated to bringing economic growth and vitality to Lemoore.
Likewise, City staff are committed to simplifying the task of bringing new
businesses to town. Several incentives are already in place that can help
your company’s bottom line.

Memorial Museum
The Sarah A. Mooney
542 West D Street - Lemoore
T
he Mooney Museum appropriately sits within just a few feet of the arch that spans D Street and designates the western entry into Lemoore’s
historical downtown district. This beautiful Victorian-style home was built by Aaron and Sarah Mooney, in 1893.
Having heard of the opportunities for land ownership along the lower Kings River, the Mooney’s departed by train from Herkimer County, New York
in 1876. Aaron, Sarah, and their 3-year-old daughter Harriet settled in the Lemoore area where Mr. Mooney opened a hardware store in downtown
Lemoore and also engaged in farming. He later served as the town’s first funeral director.
In 1892, they purchased the D Street property and began construction of their elegant house. The dwelling was completed and occupied by the
Mooney’s in 1893. Aaron Mooney died in 1912. Sarah occupied the home until her death in 1925.
In 1896, their daughter Harriet married Charles Bailey (Lemoore’s “President” from 1916-1921) and had six children. Sarah’s oldest granddaughter,
Marie, acquired title to the Mooney property upon her grandmother’s death. In 1974, Marie and her husband “Buzz” Blakely presented the house, on
behalf of Sarah’s grandchildren, to the Lemoore Chamber of Commerce to be kept as a Museum in memory of their grandmother, Sarah. Some of
Sarah’s great, great great, and 3 x great grandchildren live in the area and support and visit the museum and pay homage to their grandparents.
The Museum is completely furnished with turn-of-the-century relics generously donated by the community and has been lovingly maintained by
hundreds of volunteers over the past forty years.
The Museum plays host to interactive school field trips and many events throughout the year. It is a true gem to be enjoyed by all!

Naval Air St
at
ion Lemoore
aval Air Station (NAS) Lemoore is the Navy’s
newest and largest jet base. Its mission is
to support the Navy’s Pacific Fleet fighter-attack
capability. Equipped with facilities to handle the
most modern aircraft and associated weapons
systems, NAS Lemoore fulfills a critical role in the
nation’s defense and has a major impact on the local
economy.
As the home of Commander, Strike Fighter Wing
Pacific Fleet, NAS Lemoore hosts sixteen aircraft
squadrons and all five of the West Coast Carrier Air
Wings. The F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet Strike
Fighters are the primary aircraft supported at the jet
base. NAS Lemoore safely conducts over 200,000
aircraft operations annually, making it one of the
busiest airfields in the Navy.
In 2012, a Search and Rescue unit was established at
the air station. With three Sikorsky MH-60S Seahawk
helicopters, NAS Lemoore will be able to provide
search and rescue capabilities to support the open
water training requirements of the 16 strike fighter
squadrons based at the air station.
The Air Station accommodates a resident population
of approximately 6,100 military personnel, 4,100
dependents, 1,400 Department of Defense civilians
and contractors. The installation also provides
services to over 8,100 retired military veterans and
their families. Additionally, it provides for single
family residences, and apartment style units for
bachelor military personnel.
Considering the 11,700 personnel working or living
on the base, NAS Lemoore is considered the fourth
largest “city” in Kings County.
The NAS Lemoore Chapel functions as the
centralized location for area non-profit agencies to
seek assistance for a variety of projects. The Chapel
pooled the resources of 30 community relations
coordinators from both tenant commands and
civilian organizations to combine efforts and create a
united presence to support the local area with ideas,
resources and skills. Kings United Way, Habitat for
Humanity, Kings County Commission on Aging and
Sequoia National Parks are a few of the organizations
that have benefitted from the Chapel’s outreach
program.
Nestled in the heart of California’s fertile San Joaquin
Valley, the station encompasses almost 30,000 acres.
Some 18,000 acres are owned outright by the Navy
and 12,000 more are used under agricultural lease
contract making for the largest agricultural lease
program in the Navy.
Because it gives the Navy the power to protect
America’s interests – anywhere, anytime.
When the site for NAS Lemoore was chosen in the
mid-1950’s, the remote location in the central valley
of California served several strategic purposes - the
location was close enough to the Navy’s seaport
facilities for logistical support, but far enough from
major population centers to allow for operations and
possible expansion.
- About 80 percent of the world’s population lives
near the ocean. This percentage is likely to grow in
the future.
Commissioned in 1961, NAS Lemoore consists of
three developed areas: Operations, Administration
and Housing. The Operations area includes the
airfield, with two offset parallel 13,500-foot long
runways. Annually, the installation employs or
locally generates over 13,500 jobs and contributes
approximately $1 billion to the local and regional
economy. The remote location provides flexibility
in use and infrastructure to accommodate rapidly
advancing jet technology.
Based on its remote yet strategic location, NAS
Lemoore is a nationally critical asset with unique
capabilities that cannot be duplicated elsewhere.
NAS Lemoore plays a key role in America’s Navy - a
global force for good, on station around the world
and around the clock, deterring aggression, keeping
the sea lanes open for free trade, and projecting
power.
How the Navy Protects America
The Navy is the branch of the US military that fights
on the water, under the water, and over the water.
- Navy ships fight on the water.
- Navy submarines fight under the water.
- Navy airplanes fight from over the water -- they take
off and land on Navy aircraft carriers.
To see why, think of the 70-80-90 rule:
- Water covers about 70 percent of the Earth’s surface.
- About 90 percent of all international trade travels by
sea. This percentage, too, will probably go up.
In other words, what happens on the water matters:
- It matters to keeping the peace.
- It matters to the nation’s economy, and to the
preservation of American jobs.
- It also matters to national defense. After all, the
United States is bounded by oceans on both sides.
For all of these reasons, the nation needs to be able
to protect itself on, under, and over the water.
In such a world, power must be fast and flexible.
This requires sailors who are highly trained, highly
motivated, and courageous – sailors who are capable
of meeting any challenge. It requires the best sailors
in the world – the men and women of the United
States Navy.
The fast, flexible force also requires the Navy to be
smart about how it powers its ships, planes, and
submarines. The U.S. Navy can’t afford to delay or
cancel missions for lack of fuel. That’s why the Navy
is taking the lead on energy research that will reduce
dependence on foreign oil – and ensure that its ships,
planes and subs can go anywhere, anytime to keep
our country safe.
That fast, flexible force is what seapower provides.
And that’s how the Navy protects America – now
more than ever.
Why is this ability to act from the water so important?

W
est Hills College Lemoore is now in its 12th year and there’s further new construction on the horizon
for the landmark campus that opened in 2002. This June, builders will begin work on a new 23,000
sq. ft. Student Center, which will house a bookstore, food services and culinary arts program, and student
government offices. Funded by a voter approved bond issue, the center is expected to open in the fall of
2015.
President Don Warkentin, associated with the campus since 1986 when it was an office and a temporary
structure tucked away in a residential area in Lemoore, has seen tremendous change and growth at WHCL.
“We went from a minimal building in cramped quarters to a state-of-the-art campus,” Warkentin said.
“We’re very proud of that and the whole community is proud of what we built.” And with good reason; the
WHCL campus has had an enormous impact on the area, serving students from the nearby Naval Air Station
to residents of Lemoore and other towns in the region.
“Our impact on the community has been substantial,” Warkentin said. “In addition to providing opportunity,
a place for students to pursue their education after high school, we’ve also provided a place for meetings,
forums, speaking engagements and events – whether it’s inviting the community to hear public figures
speak or hosting musical events or professional boxing as we did this past year.”
Along the way, WHCL has transformed itself from a small but busy educational center into a full-fledged
college campus. “When we were the Kings County Center we held classes in our limited quarters, but
also in the local high schools,” Warkentin recalls. “We were teaching days, evenings, weekends, we were
everywhere.” Today, WHCL has a permanent campus with room to expand. West Hills College Lemoore has
grown to over 4,000 students and is master-planned for 10,000.
In 2002, just two years after accepting a generous donation of land from Robert and Mardell Pedersen and
Lionel and Lola Simas, the formal process of seeking stand-alone college status began. Over the next several
years, voters approved about $50 million in bond issues to provide matching funds for several phases of
construction which culminated in the completion of the Golden Eagles Arena sports complex in 2011.
Following construction of the new student Center, future expansion could include a new instructional wing,
a performing arts center, a separate administration building, and several sports fields and facilities.
“These projects depend on the passage of a future statewide higher education facilities bond,” Warkentin
said. “We envision another instructional wing in order to serve more students, which would include a
university center where four year schools could recruit, counsel, and even offer a few classes here. When
we get there is dependent on the economy and the state funding picture.”
West Hills College Lemoore is one the newest of 112 colleges that make up California’s Community College
System, the largest system of higher education in the United States.

Lemoore Police Depart
ment
T
he Lemoore Police Department is charged
with the protection of life and property and
the primary responsibility for crime prevention
and suppression. The mission statement of the
Lemoore Police Department is, “We are dedicated to
preserving the peace of our City and the protection
of our citizens through proactive problem solving
and community partnerships.”
The Lemoore Police Department has twenty sworn
officers assigned to the Patrol Division. The Patrol
Division responds to calls for assistance, acts as a
deterrent to crime, enforces state and local laws and
responds to emergencies 24 hours a day seven days
per week.
Of the twenty officers assigned to patrol, the
department has two Motor Officers assigned to
the Traffic Division. The ultimate goal of the Traffic
Division is to reduce traffic collisions. However,
most traffic collisions have other factors associated
with them such as impaired driving or the lack of
passenger restraints. As a result, the traffic division
is also responsible for enforcing traffic violations,
investigating traffic collisions, arresting intoxicating
drivers and impounding vehicles by unlicensed or
suspended drivers.
The Lemoore Police Department recognizes that
traffic enforcement is a priority. Their strategic plans
and goals for the future are to: 1.) Increase traffic
enforcement efforts 5%, 2.) Increase DUI arrests 5%
and 3.) Continue to conduct Briefing Trainings on
traffic enforcement related issues.
Aside from patrol and traffic efforts the Lemoore
Police Department continues to be dedicated to
the community. They are a strong proponent of
Community Oriented Policing, which entails the
full cooperation of citizens and community groups.
Citizens actively work with police officers to identify
and understand the most pressing issues in the
community and work together to devise solutions
through community meetings, citizen surveys and
one-on-one conversations with members of the
18
community. The bond between the Lemoore Police
Department and the community is exceptionally
strong, citizen involvement can be seen through
the Citizens Academy and Volunteers in Policing
Programs, both of which began in 1997. Also, the
Lemoore Neighborhood Watch Program is very active
with the police department.
The Lemoore Police Department also has the
Lemoore Police Chaplaincy Program, which provides
ministry and counsel to law enforcement personal
of the department, as well as unfortunate victims of
crime.
The Lemoore Department also has a very active
Law Enforcement Explorers Program, which began
in 1996. The program is open to male and female
youth between the ages of fourteen and twenty. The
program teaches explorers skills to prepare them for
a law enforcement or law related career.
The Lemoore Police Department has put forth greater
efforts in educating the public on the hazards of
driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol,
proper use of child restraints, seat belt safety issues,
and speeding.
Department statistics indicate that traffic collisions
decreased by 10 % from 2007 to 2008. In 2009 traffic
collisions decreased another 0.41 % from 2008. We
believe this is the result of the increased enforcement
efforts and due diligence on the part of our officers.
In 1999, The Lemoore Police Department received
a grant to start their traffic safety program. The
program was created to start a dedicated traffic safety
unit, and conduct DUI / Drivers License checkpoints.
This dedicated unit consists of 2 motorcycle
officers using state of the art laser radar units for
the enforcement of speed laws throughout our
community. Additionally, this grant allowed the city
to create a Traffic Offender Fund (vehicle impound
release fees) so they can continue to maintain a high
level of traffic enforcement years after the project’s
operations have concluded.

Lemoore Volunteer Fire Dept
.
T
he community of Lemoore is proud of its all-volunteer Fire Department
which has served the community for over 91 years. The first meeting
of the Lemoore Volunteer Fire Department (LVFD) was held on August 3,
1921 at the American Legion Club and it has operated as an all-volunteer
department since day one. In 1924, LVFD moved its headquarters to the
newly built City Hall and in 1977 moved to 210 Fox Street, where the main
station still resides today.
For many years, LVFD relied on an air horn mounted atop City Hall to alert
the members of structure fires. The loud horn was heard throughout the
community. Although the horn is no longer necessary, because all the
firemen carry pagers, it continues to be used, but only for structure fires
between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
The LVFD currently has 35 volunteers. Some may think that since Lemoore
does not have a fulltime paid Fire Department that Lemoore’s fire service
is compromised. This could not be farther from reality. The firemen are
trained in firefighting, CPR, first aid, pilot rescue, and the handling of
hazardous materials. They drill every Tuesday and train on a regular
basis. When an opportunity arises to burn a structure, they use it as an
opportunity to have a training burn.
The LVFD boasts a Class III Insurance Services Office Fire Rating, which
is the highest in Kings County. The members respond to calls 24 hours a
day and their average response time is 3 minutes. Last year, the firemen
responded to over 1500 fire and emergency related calls, which averaged
over 4 calls per day. The Department has a Mutual Aid Agreement with
Kings County, Hanford and Naval Air Station Lemoore fire departments. In
the early days, the firemen used a 1917 Model T Ford Pumper to fight fires.
The vehicle still runs and is driven in our local parades. When not parading
around, it is showcased in an enclosed display in front of City Hall for all
to see. Today, the Fire Department has 2 triple pumper engines, a triple
pumper ladder truck, a 1,000 gallon per minute engine, a rescue vehicle
with water, foam and JAWS OF LIFE equipment, a grass fire mini pumper,
and a rehab truck.
The Department also has a 1947 American LaFrance pumper which is
used as a parade truck. The Department provides public service including
inspections, tours, first aid at local events, and demonstrations. Every
year, the Department provides first aid services during Relay for Life, a
fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Additionally, the Department
provides a vehicle extrication demonstration during the Lemoore High
School Every 15 Minutes Program. The Program is a reenactment of a
realistic drunk driving traffic accident that simulates the death of one or
more Lemoore High students. The purpose of the event is to challenge
the student body to realize that every 15 minutes someone dies from
an alcohol related accident and to make them aware of the unintended
consequences that could result if they choose to drink and drive.
In addition to providing safety for the residents of Lemoore, every year
since 1925, members of the Lemoore Volunteer Fire Department journey
to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to select and bring back the most perfect
Christmas Tree to display in our quaint Downtown during the holidays.
The Tree stands tall at the corner of Fox and D streets and is lit during the
holiday season.
The LVFD has been recognized at the Organization of the Year by the
Chamber of Commerce in 1990 and again in 2014.

Don Warkent
in
Spotlight on Lemoore: Citizen of the Year
D
on Warkentin was selected by a contingency of past honorees as an individual
who has given of his time and talents for many years to help make Lemoore
the place we love to call “home.” For over 40 years, Don has been involved in many
community organizations, planning committees and a leader in education that
has helped shape Lemoore into the spirited community it is today.
Don began his service to the community in 1973 as a teacher at Lemoore High
School. During his tenure at Lemoore High School, Don was also a football coach,
baseball coach, athletic director, administrator and principal of the continuation
high school. He was instrumental in starting the Lemoore High School Athletic
Foundation; which to this day helps financially support all sports at LHS. In the
90’s Don also was a member of the steering committee for the LHS GO bond.
With his guidance, the bond passed and has helped LHS with numerous facility
improvements including the building of a new swimming pool.
Don’s career at West Hills College – Lemoore began in 1986. With the help and
guidance of his leadership, the College has increased enrollment from 700
students in portable buildings to over 4,400 students. He was a driving force in
making WHCL an independent campus as well as building the Golden Eagle Arena
and currently overseeing the construction of a state-of-the-art Student Center.
He has lead WHCL through two very successful accreditations as well as serving
on ten state accreditation teams to other colleges. He has brought in community
education classes; expanded vocational education programs to include the
college’s nursing and culinary programs and has partnered with businesses in
Lemoore and Hanford to provide a qualified work force. Through Don’s leadership,
the college has added 8 athletic teams and has played host to community college
state championships in soccer, wrestling and golf.
Don has been a driving force in bringing cultural events to the area and nationally
recognized speakers such as former first lady Laura Bush, Sarah Palin, Dr. Cornell
West and most recently the home boxing debut of Olympian and professional
boxer Jose Ramirez. Don has offered the college as a venue for numerous
organizations to hold conferences, workshops, job fairs, dinners and graduations;
all in the spirit of community partnership.
Don served 12 1/2 years on the Lemoore Union Elementary School Board
including a stint as board president. While on the board, Don was a revered
and well respected leader, and his experience in education proved to be most
valuable to the District. Some of his accomplishments included hiring a new
Superintendent (Dr. Ron Meade), building Cinnamon Elementary School and the
Liberty Middle School gymnasium; the acquisition of the district office property
on 19th and Cinnamon, and the addition of the University Charter School. Don
was a supporter and friend to both administration and faculty, all while keeping
the best interest and success of the students his primary goal.
Don has been serving on the Kings County Economic Development Corporation
Board of Directors since 2006. Now in his second term as Chairman of the Board,
he has been a great voice for economic development with a critical emphasis on
the importance of a training a skilled workforce. Don helps facilitate the bridge
between the community college system and businesses in our area through the
emphasis on higher education opportunities for our area. Through the bridge
between education and business, Don has facilitated attraction of new business
to our community and region.
20
Don is currently serving his second term on the Lemoore Chamber of Commerce
Board of Directors. For the past two years Don has served as the CFO and been
actively involved in the Chamber’s many events and daily operations. As a
member and past president of the Kiwanis Club, Don has helped to set up and
arrange the floats for the annual Christmas Parade. Don also coordinated and
organized the annual Kings-Tulare County All Star High School Football Game.
This game is steeped in tradition and has been a customary event for several
decades. Don is also a member of the Lemoore Odd Fellows Club and supports
other community service clubs such as the Lions and Rotary Clubs. As a result,
Don has not missed a Rotary Crab feed in many years! In the 80’s and 90’s Don
served as a Deacon for the Lemoore Presbyterian Church and as a lover of history,
he supported the Lower Kings River Historical Society which restored many of the
family cemeteries in our area.
However, the most important act of service by Don was his voluntary duty in the
United States Army. Don was a lieutenant in the Army during the Vietnam War,
and as a platoon leader with the 25th Infantry he was on the ‘front lines’ of the war.
During his tour in Vietnam he received two Purple Hearts and still to this day has
a chunk of shrapnel in his leg. He is a very proud Veteran and supports VFW and
other Veteran Organizations in our area.
Though Don’s List of public service and achievements is quite extensive, he will
tell you that the most rewarding role he has had is that of husband and father.
When his children, Brooke and Steven, were young, he coached their little league
softball and baseball teams and was always at their events cheering them on. He
remains a constant source of support to his wife and children, and his strength
never waivers. He has been, and always will be, a pillar in the community, a
dedicated veteran and family man. Don Warkentin’s volunteerism and dedication
to the City of Lemoore undoubtedly deserves this award.

Lemoore Volunteer Fire Depart
ment
Spotlight on Lemoore: Organization of the Year
T
his is the second time the Lemoore Volunteer Fire Department will
be recognized as Organization of the Year, the first was in 1990.
The department was formed in July of 1921 after an earlier group,
who had the 1917 Model T Ford chemical engine, disbanded. The first
Chief of the reorganized group was Paul R.C. Winans, with R.R. Long
completing his role as the department’s head in 1921. In 1923, a brand
new LaFrance pumper fire engine was delivered to Lemoore, which
used a water pump instead of a chemical reaction for water pressure.
The local firefighters bragged about having the first fire pumper with
pneumatic wheels in the state in the mid 1920’s. In 1980 they finished
fully restoring the original Model T chemical engine with the help of
inmates at Avenal Prison, after Jack Stone had performed a partial
restoration many years before. It is now on display in front of City Hall
and makes an annual appearance in the Lemoore Christmas Parade.
The members of our Lemoore Volunteer Fire Department are the
unsung heroes of Lemoore. Chief John Gibson is in charge of the 34
volunteers who make up the department. Each volunteer brings his
own skill set to the job. Their professional careers can range from
electricians, contractors and mechanics to doctors and dentists. They
are all subjected to rigorous formal and on-the-job training. These
volunteers meet weekly and have regular educational and training
sessions throughout the year. They also are well represented at every
community event and holiday celebration to provide fire truck rides
and fire hose games for children. The volunteers go to the schools to
help educate the children about fire safety and prevention. Every year
after Thanksgiving, no matter what the weather is like, they make a trip
up to the Sierra Mountains and with the approval and supervision of
a Forest Ranger, cut down and haul a tree back to Lemoore. Then on
Sunday, they decorate and raise the Community Christmas Tree in the
center of D and Fox Street.
Because of all the hard work by our Volunteers, every citizen and
business in Lemoore recoups the benefit of a good insurance rating.
Our LVFD has in ISO rating of 3. It is the best fire rating of all fire
departments in Kings County!
To show how busy LVFD has been taking care of our needs, in 2013 they
responded to 254 fires, 1,523 EMT calls, 27 miscellaneous educational
or community events and 53 meetings/drills for a total of 1,857 events
to which they responded.
While these men are spending all of this volunteer time to benefit
us and our community, we must remember their wives and children
are giving up family time because they know how important their
husbands and dads are to the well-being of our community.

Spotlight on Lemoore: Business of the Year
S
toney’s Sand and Gravel is locally owned
and operated by Mike and Carol Evans. They
are a customer focused, successful business
that has steadily grown over the past 29 years.
They provide employment for 25 people, and
their employees will tell you that they are the
BEST. Many people have benefitted from their
generosity and care.
In the community, they are sponsors of Little
League and Soccer teams and the Lemoore
High School Cheer Team. They regularly donate
concrete and other materials to support the
Lemoore High Ag Department and they have
sponsored various Lemoore Chamber events,
such as Rockin’ the Arbor and Golf Tournaments.
People who know Mike and Carol Evans know
their compassion for others. They are always
willing to help anyone in need. Whether it’s
organizing an enormous fundraiser to benefit
Children’s Hospital, donating clothing to a
family when their home was lost to a fire,
organizing a benefit dinner to help a friend
pay for medical bills or donating hot dogs and
beans for “Hot Dog Day” every third Wednesday
of the month at the Church of the Savior Soup
Kitchen.
Carol has annually put on a huge birthday party
for the Kids of Royal Family Kids Camp, which
is a network of camps, children’s clubs and
child mentoring for abused, abandoned and
neglected children in the foster care program.
Through that work, Carol was appointed to the
board of Court Appointed Special Advocates
(CASA) which is a national association that
supports and promotes court appointed
advocates for abused or neglected children. The
love and care she puts into this work benefits
thousands of children.
22
When South Valley Community Church sent a
team of youth to Moore, Oklahoma, after the
EF5 Tornado hit on May 20, 2013, Carol was
part of the team. It’s been reported that she
can “swing a big hammer and create beauty
with a saw.” Their assignment in Moore was to
help a family who had lost their son when his
elementary school and home was destroyed by
the tornado. Although their job was just to help
the family unpack their donated household
items, Carol went above and beyond by giving
the family’s children newly decorated rooms to
make that house feel more like home.
Mike and Carol were instrumental in creating
the Lemoore Raceway Hall of Fame last year,
donating their time and resources. They
also support the Raceway throughout the
race season again donating their time and
equipment. Through their efforts, Raceway
events are always opened by local pastors,
youth ministers or Navy Chaplains.
However, the most honest testimonials have
come from their employees: “Over the past few
years, I’ve been given the great opportunity
to work for a very successful and respected
employer. Stoney’s Sand and Gravel is not
only a successful business with a hard work
ethic but also a place full of family, friends and
community. Owners, Mike and Carol Evans have
built an amazing company based on their own
hard work and dedication to service. They each
still put in more time and effort than is expected
of their employees. This work ethic shows
throughout the company. Mike’s policy is: the
only time you can say no to a customer is if they
ask you out on a date!”
is constantly growing is the Evans’. Mike and
Carol work right alongside their employees,
often times working harder. They would never
ask an employee to do something they haven’t
or can’t do themselves. They are not only bosses
and our employers, but they are also teachers
and friends. These two people are generous,
caring, successful business people who are
most deserving of being recognized as the
2014 Lemoore Business of the Year.” We couldn’t
agree more.

Doug Verboon
Agriculturalist of the Year:
Third Generation Farmer “I like to be in control of my day,” he says. “The earlier you get up, the
earlier you finish. When you’re a farmer, you are in control of that.”
Yet it is not only the 10,000 walnut trees he farms on 185 acres in
Kings County. After 16 years on the Pioneer Union Elementary School
District Board, he now serves as chairman of the Kings County Board of
Supervisors, completing his first four-year term as a representative for
District 3, which encompasses Lemoore.
And now, Mr. Verboon is the 2013 Lemoore Chamber of Commerce’s
Agriculturalist of the Year. He is a third-generation farmer who takes
inspiration from his grandfather and father. The family once farmed
cotton, corn and walnuts.
“I chopped cotton until I was 35 years old,” he says. “I worked on the farm.
Any dirty job they had, I had.” Early in his life, through the family’s trucking
operation, Mr. Verboon would haul walnuts, almonds, corn, wheat, barley
and fertilizer.
In 2006, Mr.Verboon made the focus only on growing walnuts. It reflects
his sense of simplicity. “It’s easy for one person to maintain,” he says. “It
made sense to consolidate.”
He believes in fighting for water, for protecting the environment, and
“for sticking my neck out for my leadership in ag.” He’s also respected
for his ethics. “I feel my neighbor’s ground is my ground,” he says. “I treat
everyone’s ground in Kings County as if it is my ground.”
That has contributed to his opposition to the high-speed rail project,
and it reinforces his belief that agriculture is the backbone of the local
economy. “God only created so much farm ground, and we have farm
ground with water, which makes it more valuable.”
In Lemoore, Mr. Verboon also has developed the Cinnamon Square
Shopping center, the only continuously, fully occupied retail center in
California.
24
Keeps the Family Legacy Alive
Mr. Verboon and his wife, Jill, have four children: Cassandra, who lives in
Boston; Courtney who lives in Hanford; Arie, also in Hanford; and Chelsea,
who resides in Fresno.
He gets up early, lives with his iPhone, and responds promptly to any
matter. “It means a lot to be recognized from the people you work with
every day,” he says. “Farming means a lot to me, it has done very well,
and to be chosen is a unique honor. I’ve just worked hard all of my life.
Fortunately, I enjoy what I do.”
Mr. Verboon has learned a lot. He’s also trying to teach. The University
of California is conducting a long-term research project on his ranch to
understand alternatives to walnut production, given mandatory changes
in the use of methyl bromide.
“I was going to be a farmer and I always wanted to be a farmer,” Mr.
Verboon says. “It’s always a challenge but I never get frustrated.” “You go
to work when the sun comes up, and you go home when the sun goes
down. You have great gratitude when you take what God gave you –
water, sun and soil – to flourish. You get rewarded at harvest time. And
every time you get to go home to your family.”

Crop Product

Ag Supporter of the Year:
Growing Crops, Growing Business
I
n our Valley, many things grow: crops,
companies, supporters. The story of Crop
Production Services involves all of those
elements. And for those reasons, it has been
honored as the Lemoore Chamber of Commerce’s
2013 Agricultural Supporter of the Year.
With a workforce of 35 in Kings County, Crop
Production Services Hanford is a vital element of
local agriculture. CPS has operations in 48 states,
but to local growers, the most potent service
stems from its headquarters at 13241 Crown
Avenue in Hanford.
“We want to provide the best resources for the
best profit for our growers,” says John Toscano,
Branch Manager who co-manages the local
office with Steve Clark. “Our consultants work
to support farmers – and to achieve maximum
profits for them.”
A longtime partner for many local farms, Crop
Production Services’ mission statement tells
most of its story:
“We are committed to being the leading provider
of agricultural inputs in each of our markets. We
will attract and retain outstanding employees
by motivating and rewarding them for their
accomplishments in providing exceptional
service to our valued customers …
“We are dedicated to helping our customers
achieve maximum success. When you meet and
work with a member of the Crop Production
Services team, we are confident you will see
our strengths first-hand and profit from our
experience.”
dirt, the water, and the hard work, and the local
connections.
So what is the bedrock of the company?
“Our strength is our people,” Mr. Toscano, a
graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, says. “Our
people and our service are 100% of our success.”
Among its many services, the company
provides fertilizer, seed, crop protection, and
personal advice on an array of countless farmmanagement challenges. It represents the
benefit of history and a vision for the future –
embracing technology and innovation.
“We are a worldwide company that has roots in
the rural community,” Mr. Toscano observes. “We
rely upon global knowledge to help the local
level.”
On its website, cpsagu.com, there’s a clever turnof-phrase: “Growing ag-ceptance.” We can accept
that this is just a play on words. But it’s more than
that.
“At Crop Production Services, we are focused
on one thing and one thing only – providing
our customers with the products and services
they need to grow the best crops possible,” the
company says. “We do this farm by farm and
one customer at a time by leveraging our global
experience.”
The network is vast: innovative products and
collective knowledge from more than 1,250 retail
outlets on three continents: “Our experience and
total product offering will help you compete
with farmers around the world,” the company
says.
Yes, the world. San Joaquin Valley farmers – and
advisers – feed the world. But it all starts with the
He adds: “It’s an honor to receive this award and
to be thought of in this way by the community.
We are grateful.”
