he term “crochet” often evokes visions of sweet grandmothers, scratchy blankets, and dusty doilies. Today, crocheting has evolved out of its grandmotherly niche and is beginning to appeal to younger generations ready to pass on the crochet torch. With its evolution, crochet has taken on a new form and has found a new audience of 20 and 30-somethings prepared to tweak and modify grandma’s traditions to make some pretty rad designs. My favorites have are these little demented dolls created by Croshame.com — and a skull pattern scarf made by Wicked Crochet. We’ve defi- nitely come a long way from our grand- mother’s doilies and afghan blankets! I have joined the crochet revolution and with the help of www.YouTube.com, I am learning how cool crocheting can really be. My goal is to honor the tradition of my grandmother — and her grandmother before her — but at the same time staying true to my wacky, nontraditional nature. I started documenting my journey of “preserving the past” while learning to crochet on my blog in hopes that others will follow my lead and join the crochet revolution with me. Though I have to admit my attempts at crocheting thus far have been on the abysmal side, I am slowly progressing and getting better all while watching the television shows: House and Dexter. The beauty of crochet is it doesn’t take up any additional time. In the time you watch two hours of your favorite shows, you are halfway done with your project! If you are interested in joining the cro- chet revolution with me, I suggest you just plunge right in. I found some great tutori- als on YouTube by typing in “learn to cro- chet” — this will at least give you the foundation and a good idea what to expect. Crocheting is best learned by doing; the more you do it, the more fluid your stitch- es will become. Plus, this is one of the only super-cheap hobbies you can literal- ly do for a few dollars. So join me, “The Old Lady At Heart” with a fresh perspective and nontradi- tional mind, and let’s get back to the basics! In the next few months, I will be offering the crochet tips that helped me the most, so if you are 21 or older come join me on my blog — www.theoldladyatheart.blogspot.com — if you want to learn more. My blog is geared towards an adult audience and is a candid journey of all the crazy things that happen while learning new arts. Check out my blog post: “Tangled in Yarn,” for more information on starting your own crochet journey. Candice Rogers aka “The Old Lady At Heart” works in the agriculture industry as an Entomology Research Coordinator. In her off hours, Candice devotes time to preserving the past and adding her own personal flare to traditional arts once attributed to a more simple generation. She enjoys blogging and showing others how fun these traditional arts can be. Her goal is to encourage others to slow down and get back to the basics — while learn- ing from her own mistakes and laughing with her along the way.

In 2010, the volunteer depart- ment at Optimal initiated the new “Volunteer of the Quarter” recog- nition program, which coupled with the Annual Volunteer Appre- ciation Celebrations held each year in April, has given them a way to offer an extra thank-you to a few special volunteers who go above and beyond. The Volunteer Department would like to share the names of these special recipients so that, perhaps, if you happen on to these wonderful people when you're out and about — you will also have a chance to thank them for all they do. Recipients of the Optimal Hos- pice Care “Volunteer of the Quar- ter” Recognition Program since inception are as follows: Laurie Reese — Laurie offers both patients and bereaved care- givers her special, unconditional kindness and understanding. She also writes hospice related articles on behalf of the program which have helped educate and recruit for the Optimal Hospice Volunteer program. Laurie has been part of the team since 2006. Wanda Whiteside — Though Wanda is primarily a patient fami- ly support and 11th Hour volun- teer, she has taken on the new role as the Volunteer Karaoke Singers coordinator. Wanda and her group of singers brighten the lives of resi- dents in nursing facilities by bring- ing them the gift of song. Wanda started her journey of caring with Optimal in 2008. Mary Lyles — Mary is an amaz- ingly caring person who provides patient family support and bereavement care to families affected by terminal illness. Mary's friendly, “check-in” phone calls for bereaved caregivers in the Taft area, has saved a life more than once. Mary has been an Optimal Hospice volunteer since 2002. Bonnie Barnett — Bonnie, a founding member of the Optimal Hospice Volunteer Program, is one of our greatest patient advocates. Because she truly cares about the well-being and quality of life of her patients, she often has other facili- ty residents and families asking who she volunteers for because they want her on their care team when the time comes. Bonnie not only donates time to patients, she also donates countless hours pro- moting Optimal's efforts as the current President of the Optimal Hospice Foundation Board. The Foundation is a non-profit agency dedicated to providing hospice care for those in need. Richard Berquist — Richard understands what it means to unconditionally share his compas- sion, friendship and lighthearted humor with patients and families who really need a helping hand. Though he has a very busy sched- ule, Richard always finds time for Optimal — even when called at a moment's notice. Richard became a member of the Optimal Hospice Volunteer program in 2009. If you are interested in learning more about the amazing volunteer program at Optimal Hospice Care, please contact the coordinators at 716-4000 or email: [email protected] for more information.

T COURTESY OF CAL STATE BAKERSFIELD s part of a commitment to reduce its carbon footprint, CSU Bakersfield will make its first appearance in the annual RecycleMania competition. RecycleMania is a nationwide, friendly stu- dent-led competition that began in February that pits colleges and universities in a contest to see who can reduce, reuse and recycle the most campus waste. It offers bragging rights and special awards made out of recycled materials to the winning schools. During last year’s 10-week competition, more than 600 campuses collectively recycled or composted over 84.5 million pounds. The 2011 installment officially runs for eight weeks between today and April 2.Lead- ing up to the main event, colleges participated in two weeks of non-binding pre-season “Trials” that began January 24. CSUB President Dr. Horace Mitchell said the uni- versity is committed to taking tangible actions in four specific areas to enhance environmental sustainabili- ty. “We have made progress in three areas; namely, our commitments to build all-new campus construction to U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Silver standard or equivalent; purchase Energy-Star certified appli- ances for energy efficiency; and purchase or produce at least 15 percent of our electricity from renewable sources,” he said. “Our fourth commitment is to waste minimization. “The university is far behind the curve in this area. That will change with our involvement in this pro- gram.” Aramark Food Services Director David Corral is a veteran to the competition and is partnering with ASi President Stephen Muchinyi to lead the charge to cre- ate a culture of recycling on campus. An integral part of CSUB’s participation in Recycle- Mania will be its 30 new blue and gold recycling/trash container sets located throughout campus. The receptacles are constructed from recycled materials and are designed to encourage the campus commu- nity to “think before you throw,” and to consciously place waste in either the recycle or trash bins. Throughout the combined 10 weeks, CSUB will report its recycling and trash weights and be ranked on RecycleMania’s results page. With each week’s reports and rankings, CSUB can watch how its pro- gram stacks up against its competitors. As results fluc- tuate, the campus community will make a concerted effort to reduce and recycle even more. RecycleMania got underway at 11:30 a.m. January 24 inside the CSUB student union. The kick-off event served to inform the campus community about the importance of CSUB doing its part to reduce, reuse and recycle, and how students, faculty and staff can get involved. The kick-off was also used to spring- board a number of additional sustainability initiatives CSUB will be focusing on in the coming months. These initiatives include a sustainability day on Feb- ruary 9, when the university will “flip the switch” on its new solar panel system that will provide 25 to 30 percent of its total energy usage. CSUB will also roll out a campus-wide bike-share program called CSUB Cycles in the spring. About RecycleMania: RecycleMania was launched in 2001 as a friendly challenge between Ohio University and Miami Uni- versity to increase recycling on their campuses. The contest has expanded rapidly in 10 years’ time from two schools in 2001 to 607 colleges and universities in 2010 spanning 49 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada. Over a 10-week period, campuses compete to see which institution can collect the largest amount of recyclables per capita, the largest amount of total recyclables, the least amount of trash per capi- ta, or have the highest recycling rate.
