Did you know that a "monarch" is not just a butterfly?  According to dictionary.com, a monarch is also:
                 One who reigns over a state or territory;
                 One that commands or rules;
                 One that surpasses others in power or preeminence.

Last Fall, our former California Senator Bruce McPherson designated February 5th annually to be "California Western Monarch Day."  The resolution for the special observance for California Western Monarch Day was written and submitted by Sheila Boone of Nipomo, who has been fighting to protect the Western Monarch and its endangered habitats for years. "I've suggested early February because it's the time when the most Western Monarch butterflies can be found here," Boone said in a letter to McPherson, who characterized the creatures as "a delight to observe and study," co-authored the resolution. Cal Poly entomology professor Kingston Leong, a recognized expert on the Western Monarch butterfly and its habitats, supports the observance. "I think it's a great opportunity to recognize the butterfly and its long relationship to the Central Coast," Leong said. Boone and Leong say the Western Monarch is important to the local economy. It has been around for nearly a million years and contributes to the welfare of the coast in many ways, from attracting tourists to pollinating cash crops. Pismo Beach Councilmember Rudy Natoli attended the presentation and accepted the Proclamation with Ms. Boone.
