SAN LUIS OBISPO — As results from Tuesday’s Primary Election continue to roll in, understanding what the results mean are just as important as the vote itself.

Locally according to state law, nonpartisan races can end at the June primaries if one primary candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote. If one CONTINUED ON PAGE A15

ATASCADERO — Lighthouse Atascadero held its eighth annual Lighthouse Run on the morning of Saturday, June 4.

After a two-year break, the 5K

was held at the Santa Margarita Ranch Educational Center from 8 to 11 a.m.

The Lighthouse Run benefits Lighthouse’s programs that bring awareness, intervention, prevention, and education to the community about drug

and alcohol abuse.

“It was great. We had a record number of attendees, and we raised the most money that we’ve ever raised in previous years,” said Co-Race Director Lori Bagby.

CALIFORNIA — A new digital series highlighting California’s people in agriculture premiered this week — and it was created and hosted by the Central Coast’s very own Kiah Twisselman Burchett. “ Bac kroad Cowgir ls” premiered the first episode of its first season on YouTube this week. The digital series features Burchett and her Texan friend, Courtenay DeHoff — known to many as the creator of the Fancy Lady Cowgirl brand. The two friends, along with photographer Shelby Caitlin, traveled up and down California, sharing stories of the people behind

one of the most vital industries in the world — agriculture.

“We don’t want this to be a show just teaching people about how their food is made,” said Burchett, “What we wanted it to be was talking about the people. Because at the end of the day, people connect with people.”

Burchett is a sixth-genera-

tion California cattle rancher from Carissa Plains. She has made national headlines after sharing her health journey to lose over 100 pounds in one year. She now doubles as a life coach, speaker, and podcast host.

Templeton High School Announces Valedictorian and Co-Salutatorians Class of 2022 will be graduating on Thursday, June 9

By CAMILLE DEVAUL

TEMPLETON — Seniors from the Class of 2022 will be graduating from Templeton High School this Thursday. Last week, Templeton students were given their honors and celebrated for their accomplishments.

This year, the school has three top scholarly students they will be celebrating at graduation.

John Nicolson is the 2022 THS valedictorian, with Zach Gonzales and Owen Daulton as co-salutatorians.

Nicolson, who was also named Templeton’s Scholar Athlete of the Year, was surprised to hear his name.

“It was nice to hear them call my name after a long four years of working hard,” said Nicolson.

In Nicolson’s sophomore year, his school counselor let him know with his class choices and grade point average, he had the potential to be valedictorian. After learning of that potential, Nicolson went for it.

Nicolson ran track in the spring and played soccer in the fall, making it to CIF in both sports this year.

Following graduation, Nicolson will be heading to UC Santa Barbara to major in pre-statistics and data science.

But he has plans to follow in his late grandfather’s footsteps to switch his major to computer science.

“He was a big inspiration to be for

computer and data science,” said Nicolson, “He is the one who sparked my interest in computer science.”

Nicolson knew he wanted to attend UCSB since the eighth grade when his sister was touring college campuses.

He says the campus fits his interests, like surfing.

“It’s cool to be able to actually go to the school,” said Nicolson.

According to Nicolson, time management was one of the greatest skills he learned through high school.

His advice to younger classmates would be to learn how to prioritize their time.

“Time management is a skill that helped me get through with academics and sports,” said Nicolson.

Zach Gonzales, one of the co-salutatorians, said receiving the honor was a surprise for him. Though Gonzales knew he was in the top five for grade point average for the school, earning the honor wasn’t a priority for him.

Gonzales explained he took classes

people think is a harder class in an area that you’re interested in, take that opportunity.”

Owen Daulton is Templeton’s other co-salutatorian — an honor he had his eyes on since entering high school.

Outside of school, Daulton also enjoys cross country, music, and his new hobby as a wildlife photographer.

Since the sixth grade, Daulton has been in the school band and now is in the honor jazz band. In April, the school band made a trip to New York, where they played for a university professor and attended Broadway shows. The experience was a highlight of Daulton’s high school career.

Cross country was also a vital part of Daulton’s life as a high school student.

“The cross country team is an incredible community because everybody is sharing a lot of pain,” said Daulton. “so you get close with each other, and you get some great memories.”

Daulton will be attending Loyola Marymount University in Los Ange-

that interested him, and it just turned out those classes helped him earn the title of salutatorian.

Throughout high school, Gonzales was on the cross country and track teams all four years and played tennis for three years.

“It’s [high school] been a pleasant experience,” said Gonzales, “I think the sports are what have made the biggest impact on me ... running helps me find my motivation for the school work.”

After graduation, Gonzales will be attending Cal Poly to study engineering.

His advice to younger students had to do with choosing classes.

“I think the biggest misconception people have going into high school is that all the AP classes or the weighted classes are going to be the hardest,” Gonzales said. “But in my experience, they’re not really that much more of a workload than the other classes with a few exceptions.

“If you have a chance to take what

les, where he will major in applied physics. He hopes to conduct research while in college and see where that will take him or possibly enter into product development.

Prior to covid’s implications on the way students attended school, Daulton wanted to attend UCLA. But switching to a hybrid schedule for a portion of high school made him enjoy the smaller class size, which impacted his college choice.

“That definitely helped me realize that I didn’t want to go to a school where I was sitting in lecture halls with 400 to 600 people,” said Daulton.

Daulton’s advice to younger students would be to be open-minded when applying for colleges.

“I went into the application with a specific school in mind,” said Daulton, “I think it would have been a lot more beneficial to the decision I have to make in the end if I had been more open-minded about the type of major I went into.”

AWARDS

Templeton High School Announces Senior Awards Athletes of the Year, Eagle of the Year, and Scholar Athletes of the Year were announced last week

By CAMILLE DEVAUL

TEMPLETON — Templeton High School (THS) celebrated its top Class of 2022 students last week.

Awards were given out for Athlete of the Year, Scholar Athlete of the Year, and Eagle of the Year.

Scholar Athletes of the Year went to Ashlyn Janzen and John Nicolson.

John Nicolson had quite a successful year, as he was also named the 2022 valedictorian. He runs on the track team in the spring, with the 400 meters his main event. In the fall, Nicolson was the center defender on the soccer team.

Both teams made it to CIF this year.

“We had good seasons for both sports this year. It was a good way to hand it off,” said Nicolson.

Nicolson will be attending the UC Santa Barbara, where he plans to continue playing club soccer and surfing.

Ashlyn Janzen says she was surprised when her name was called as the female Scholar Athlete of the Year.

“I was so honored to be honored like that by the athletic director,” said Janzen, “It’s cool to watch all the four years of hard work and practicing in the off-time and keeping up with

studies ... it was a great way to tie up senior year and sports. I was grateful for the experience.”

Janzen played tennis and basketball all four years of high school. She was a four-year starter on the Eagles varsity basketball team, playing power and small forward. She played any open position for her senior year, adding some variety under her belt.

After graduation, Janzen will be joining her sister at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, where she will be studying business management.

“I know from my experience with sports that I thrive in leadership and teamwork areas, so the people or management side of business is something I am going to look into doing,” said Janzen.

Janzen’s advice to younger athletes and students is to get involved and stay involved because the hard work will pay off in the end.

“The community there was amaz-

are on a team. You have everyone feel included, valued, and respected. The whole culture of the team is better when everyone is involved.”

Kadin Javadi is the Male Athlete of the Year for the Templeton Eagles.

“I was shocked, but it was cool being recognized as that, especially with rodeo and football,” said Javadi.

Javadi excelled in steer wrestling and football in his high school career.

He fell in love with steer wrestling the past three years and football the past two years, although he wished he had started playing football sooner.

He plans to compete on the Cal Poly rodeo team and major in ag systems management. Following his college years, Javadi knows he will be helping his family grow their wine grapes.

In December 2021, Javadi competed in the Junior World Rodeo Finals in Vegas.

His advice for aspiring athletes is to “work hard and give it every-

thing you got.”

Shane Brennan was named Eagle of the Year at Templeton High School.

Brennan excelled heavily in FFA throughout his high school years. He took first place with his restored tractor in the JB Dewar Tractor Restoration Program at the California Mid-State Fair in 2021.

He then went on to compete with his tractor on the national level and was in the running to be a national FFA officer.

“It is a great honor that I was chosen as Eagle of the Year,” said Brennan. “I had no clue that I was going to receive this, but I’m so grateful to embody the characteristics of this award and to be thought of so highly by others.”

Brennan will be attending Fresno State University to study agricultural systems management. He plans to work at the school and learn as much as possible in the next four years.

ing, and I loved the sport,” she said.

“It grew me so much as a person.”

Maddie Bobbitt was named Templeton Eagles’ Female Athlete of the Year.

“I was extremely grateful and very happy that my coaches saw me in that light,” said Bobbitt, “I have been so thankful for all of my coaches throughout high school because they have definitely have been my role models for me.”

Bobbitt played soccer all four years of high school, adding cross country and track to her resume in her junior year.

In the fall, Bobbitt will be attending UC Berkeley to study environmental science. This summer, Bobbitt will be using a training plan developed by her coaches with hopes to walk on the cross country team at Berkeley.

Bobbitt’s advice to younger classmates is, “Look out for the underclassmen and make sure when you

EDUCATION Valedictorian Sims, Salutatorian DeFraga Recognized at Atascadero High School Graduation This year’s AHS students with the highest GPAs were separated by six points

By CHRISTIANNA MARKS

ATASCADERO — At Atascadero High School’s (AHS) graduation ceremony on June 2, both the valedictorian and salutatorian were called to the stage by AHS’s Principal Dan Andrus to be recognized by the crowds filling Memorial Stadium.

“The student with the highest cumulative GPA (grade point average) is recognized as the valedictorian of the class,” Andrus said before introducing the graduates. “Now, the student with the second-highest GPA is recognized as the salutatorian. A perfect, straight-A GPA in all college preparatory classes is 4.0. Both of our students tonight have earned higher than a 4.0 GPA by taking advanced placement collegelevel courses.”

This year’s AHS students with the highest GPAs were separated by six points. Valedictorian Kylie Sims’ GPA was 4.59, while Salutatorian Alexander DeFraga’s GPA was 4.53.

Both Sims and DeFraga grew up in Atascadero, and while Sims was born here, DeFraga moved to the city when he was 1 1/2.

Both students started and ended their pre-college school careers in the Atascadero Unified School District.

Sims stated that COVID-19 made the last couple of years different than normal and that she was glad that she was still able to thrive academically.

“I still enjoyed doing school because I just like learning, and I enjoy just seeing how much I can improve in all my classes,” Sims said. “So, I was really happy with how I was able to preserver through that [COVID] and continue to get A’s throughout the past couple years and to get valedictorian. That was a big accomplishment for me.”

“It [valedictorian] really wasn’t my goal orig-

inally until this year. I’ve always just pushed myself to get good grades, but it was more for me; I wasn’t thinking about a big award or anything,” she added. “But this year, when I found out I was in the running, then I was like, ‘oh, that’s really cool if I actually get that,’ because then I thought that would be a cool representation of all the work I’ve put in.”

Sims took advanced placement (AP) and honors classes this year to help maintain her high GPA, including AP literature, AP Spanish, AP calculus, AP government, and honors anatomy. She also participated on the track team and

played tennis all four years at AHS, including making the varsity team for her last three. She also volunteers for Letters for Rose, a group that sends letters to the elderly in nursing homes.

Kylie Sims will be attending Cal Poly in the fall, majoring in computer engineering.

DeFraga, also took a full load of AP classes this year to maintain his high grades.

“This year, I’m taking all AP classes. So, six of them, and then last year I took three, and then sophomore year I took one, in addition with some honors classes,” he said. “Those all boost your GPA a bit extra if you get an A in them because they’re honors. That really helped my GPA move to second place.”

Aside from academics, DeFraga was also on the AHS improv team and performed in both high school drama productions his senior year.

He is also a part of the California Scholarship Federation (CSF), which is a community-service-based club at AHS. “I would say my goal was to always do the best that I could in courses that I felt challenged in because I always wanted to challenge myself with whatever course I took,” DeFraga added.

“Maybe not necessarily valedictorian/ salutatorian, but I’d say just doing the best that I can has always been a goal of mine.”

Next year DeFraga will be attending UC Berkeley.

“I haven’t decided my major yet, [I’m] undeclared, but I’m excited,” he said.

of groundwater through the emergency intertie between the Atascadero Mutual Water Company (AMWC) and County Service Area (CSA) No. 23 water systems in the event of a CSA 23 water supply emergency.

Currently, the ordinance requires a permit to transfer water between basins.

In 2016 the county installed a 2.5-mile pipeline intertie to move water from the AMWC to CSA No. 23 in Santa Margarita.

CSA 23 has been in a water alert status since April 2021.

District 4 Supervisor Debbie Arnold holds Atascadero and Santa Margarita within her district. She directed a question to county staff to elaborate on Santa Margarita’s reliability on groundwater.

“The town of Santa Margarita and the CSA 23 customers depend on the only one dependable well in Santa Margarita for their water in these drought years,” said Arnold. “It isn’t just this year that

this intertie is an important piece of their water dependability, correct?”

Staff corroborated her statement, saying Santa Margarita is dependable solely on groundwater and the emergency intertie allows them to draw water from other basins.

Most of CSA 23 lies within the same basin as AMWC; however, two small areas lie outside of the basin, which would trigger the permit requirement, preventing a timely response to a water emergency.

Additionally, Arnold clarified with staff that this amendment would only be used under specific emergency conditions. The board unanimously approved the amendment.

Supervisors also reviewed a request submitted by Mittry Farms Trust to authorize the processing of a land use ordinance amendment to application LRP2021-00006 to amend Planning Area Standards to include single-family

dwellings as an allowable principal use on the project site (APN: 040-201-033).

The proposed site consists of 23 parcels with single-family homes on 10.2 acres. The project will be located on Highway 101 and the North Main Street interchange area in Templeton.

Specifically, Highway 101 sits to the west of and the SLO County Sheriff ’s Templeton Station to the north of the proposed project.

The proposed amendment would allow the development of single-family dwellings on the project site through Minor Use Permit or Conditional Use Permit approval.

District 4 Supervisor Lynn Compton recused herself due to receiving a campaign contribution.

District 1 Supervisor John Peschong, whose district includes Templeton, expressed his support of approving the project, saying, “That end of Main Street has changed a lot since the residential

properties built by Gary Grosman and his team, which is a great project. I think that this is the direction that end of Main Street in Templeton is going is in residential, so I am supportive of this.”

However, District 2 Supervisor Bruce Gibson opposed the approval, saying the nature of what they are being asked to authorize is not consistent with their housing policy and will not support affordable housing.

Ultimately, approval of the amendment died with a 2-2 vote, Arnold and Peschong voting yes.

Peschong then made a new motion to authorize the processing of a land use ordinance amendment application adding alternative development ideas to be presented.

The new motion passed with a 4-0 vote.

The next Board of Supervisors meeting is a budget hearing scheduled for June 13 at 9 a.m.

KRISTIN SMART CASE

Judge Denies Dismissal of Case for Paul and Ruben Flores

On June 13 the court will begin screening and selecting potential jurors

By CAMILLE DEVAUL

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — Various motions were heard in the courtroom on Monday during the first pretrial hearing for the trial of Paul and Ruben Flores. The father and son are charged in connection with the 1996 murder and disappearance of Cal Poly student Kristin Smart (19).

Paul and Ruben Flores made their first appearance in the Monterey County Courthouse in Salinas on June 6. It is the first hearing in the trial since a change of venue motion was granted.

The Smart family was present for the proceedings. Susan Flores, Paul’s mother, was also present, watching from the opposite side of the courtroom.

Smart was last seen with Paul Flores leaving an off-campus party on Crandall Way in San Luis Obispo on May 25, 1996. Although her remains have never been found, Smart was legally declared dead in 2002.

Motions heard on Monday were filed by both the prosecution and defense.

One of them was a sealed motion from the defense to dismiss the case.

This was not the first time the defense has attempted to dismiss the case. San Luis Obispo County Superior Court Judge Craig van Rooyen denied the defense’s first attempt for dismissal.

During their first attempt, defense attorneys argued there was insufficient evidence. But on Monday, Paul Flores’s lead attorney, Robert Sanger, called San Luis Obispo County Assistant District Attorney Eric Dobroth to the stand because Dobroth submitted a declaration in the prosecution’s opposition.

The defense’s reason for dismissal stood on the grounds of an incident involving Susan Flores, which happened in May of this year. According to reports, a witness in the case reported on May 27 that Susan was taking photos of the witness’s 8-year-old daughter. Prosecutors stated the photos were taken by Susan Flores looking into the witness’s backyard. However, the defense argued that if the photos were taken, they were taken by Susan driving past the house while in her car while the daughter was in the garage.

Arroyo Grande Police Department responded to the witness’s call and conducted interviews. According to Dobroth, probable cause was found for a search warrant. San Luis Obispo County Judge Jacqueline Duffy asked for the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office to review the warrant before she approved it.

Ultimately, the warrant was approved for cellphone date from May 20-27.

It was discovered on May 24 that there was a brief conversation between the defense and prosecution to potentially settle the case.

However, the idea was quickly shut

down, according to Sanger.

Sanger alleged the photo report was used by the prosecution to search for conversations between Susan and her family regarding the settlement conversation, which according to the defense, was meant to get Susan to say something about Paul’s involvement in the murder.

Dobroth denied the claims from the defense and presiding Judge Jennifer O’Keefe denied the defense’s motion to dismiss the case.

Information from the cellphone data is currently sealed, and Dobroth requested to unseal the data. O’Keefe said she could not rule on whether or not the data should remain sealed because it is unclear if it falls under her jurisdiction as the incident is separate from the Kristin Smart murder case.

However, according to Dobroth, Susan’s phone is still being investigated and still in the authority’s hands. While no photo was found on the phone, it is still under investigation to determine whether any photos were deleted.

The prosecution’s motion to deny several people as third-party culpability witnesses was approved by O’Keefe.

Two people present at the same 1996 party on Crandall Way and also last seen with Smart will be allowed to testify as witnesses, but not as additional suspects.

Paul and Ruben Flores were arrested at their homes in April 2021, nearly 25 years after Smart’s disappearance.

His father, Ruben, is charged as an accessory after the fact, accused of helping hide Smart’s body. Records show that Paul is now in the custody of the Monterey County Jail. Ruben is currently out on bail.

Day Two: Tuesday, June 7 Pretrial hearings for the murder trial of Paul and Ruben Flores wrapped up on Tuesday. Prosecution and defense teams will return to the Monterey Courthouse on June 13 to begin the jury selection.

Several motions were heard from the defense and prosecution during the second hearing of pretrial proceedings.

Presiding Judge Jennifer O’Keefe ruled that Kristin Smart can be referred to as a victim and Paul Flores can be referred to as a defendant — both of which the defense tried to overturn.

Paul’s lead attorney Robert Sanger argued that calling Smart a victim is

“inappropriate” as it offers a conclusion. Deputy District Attorney Chris Peuvrelle countered that there is “no doubt” Smart is a victim in the case.

O’Keefe stated in the court’s view, that Smart was a victim of some kind, and the term victim does not imply the defendant’s guilt.

The defense then motioned to have Paul referred to by name and not refer to him as a defendant claiming the term offers a pejorative designation. However, Ruben’s attorney Harold Mesick did not agree that using the term defendant was inappropriate.

Additional motions will be decided on at a later date by the judge.

On June 13 the court will begin screening and selecting more than 1,500 potential jurors. Twelve jurors and eight alternates will be chosen for each defendant.

Opening statements are set to take place July 6 in Salinas.

Paso Robles Police Department’s investigation into the incident revealed there was no threat to harm or scare anyone at the school or elsewhere. The three involved students were planning to play with the airsoft pistol after school, but made a poor decision to bring the items to school with them.

The Paso Robles Police Department has a zero-tolerance policy for anyone who brings any weapon onto a school campus. All three juveniles were arrested for misdemeanor possession of a knife on school grounds and misdemeanor possession of a replica hand grenade. The juveniles were later turned over to their parents, and charges will be filed with San Luis Obispo County Juvenile Probation. The names and photos of the involved juveniles will not be released due to their age (all 13 years of age).

This is an ongoing investigation, and the Paso Robles Police Department is requesting anyone with any information to call the PRPD at (805) 237-6464.

Paso Robles Police Department Responds to School Threat Paso Robles Police Department responded and resolved a threat directed toward Daniel Lewis Middle School late Sunday night, June 5.

Around 9 p.m., officers became aware of the threat made by a 13-year-

old suspect who sent another student a photo of a handgun, saying he was going to commit a school shooting the following day.

However, shortly after sending the threat, the suspect went back on his comments, stating he was only joking.

Officers responded immediately to the threat and called in extra resources to investigate. Officers tracked down the student who attends Daniel Lewis Middle School. The student’s room and cell phone were searched with full cooperation from his parents. No weapons or other evidence supporting a threat were found.

Officers were able to determine the photograph of the handgun was a stock photograph from the internet.

The student told officers the threat was meant as a joke. Officers arrested the 13-year-old, and he was booked at juvenile hall for making a school threat.

Out of an abundance of caution, there will be an increased police presence at our schools tomorrow morning. The police department wants to thank those who reached out to their department last night concerning the threat.

that occurred Thursday afternoon, June 2, in the 5400 block of Capistrano Avenue in Atascadero.

Officers responded to the call just after 2 p.m. after a female called 911.

She reported her neighbor ran into her yard, saying three masked men entered his residence, assaulted him, and began to steal property from his house.

After arriving, officers learned a male and female were at the residence when someone knocked on the door.

The female opened the door, and three masked men forced their way inside.

One male was armed with a handgun and one with a knife.

The three men went to the bedroom where the male resident was located and assaulted him, demanding money. The male and female residents were able to go outside.

It was initially reported the suspects left the location in a vehicle, but that was later determined to be inaccurate.

The suspects fled on foot.

After checking the area, officers were unable to locate the suspects. All three suspects were described as white male adults, one wearing a white tank top, one wearing a black jacket, and one wearing a grey sweatshirt.

Paso Robles Police Make Arson and Vandalism Arrests Employees discovered a fire outside a classroom at Daniel Lewis Middle School on June 3 STAFF REPORT

PASO ROBLES — Paso Robles Police Department officers have arrested two juveniles from Paso Robles in connection to arson and vandalism discovered at Daniel Lewis Middle School on Friday morning.

On June 3, at approximately 6:30 a.m., employees at Daniel Lewis Middle School located a fire burning outside one of the classrooms.

According to Paso Robles Joint Unified School District (PRJUSD) Superintendent Curt Dubost’s earlier state-

ment, sometime last evening, a person or persons entered the campus of Lewis Middle School and vandalized the campus by attempting to start several fires and painting graffiti in several places.

The classrooms were unusable on Friday but are expected to be back in service by Monday.

The employees quickly extinguished the fire and contacted Paso Robles Fire and Police Departments to investigate.

It was discovered a large plastic waste container full of paper was purposely set on fire. The intensity of the fire almost set the building on fire and caused damage to the building and door to the classroom. As officers were investigating the cause of the fire, they discovered several banners around the school that had also

been burned, and other areas that were vandalized with spray paint.

Ultimately, it was social media that led to the juveniles arrests.

Investigating officers found social media posts which contained videos of the two juvenile suspects actively setting fires at the school. The footage showed the juveniles using an aerosol can and a lighter to light a paper banner on fire. The school resource officer and school staff quickly identified both of the involved juveniles.

The juveniles, both 14 years of age from Paso Robles, have been arrested for one count of felony arson, one felony count of vandalism, and several counts of misdemeanor vandalism. They were both transported to Juvenile Services Center in San Luis Obispo. As the suspects are juveniles,

Vocational Education in Local High Schools on the Upswing

CONNIE PILLSBURY COMMENTARY

A

fter World War II, high school education in the United S t a t e s s t e e re d t ow a rd academics and away from vocational education, with the idea of ‘college for all’ setting the curriculum. Eventually, that philosophy was found to be a failure, with too many students falling through the cracks as they had no positive way forward after high school.

It has not always been so.

AL FONZI

COMMENTARY

I

write this on Memorial Day with great sadness, given the tragic events over the last week. Before I delve into the darkness that has enveloped some of our youth, some comment on the general state of things is warranted.

The cost of living is skyrocketing, driven by the radical nihilist ideology of the extreme green movement who would save the world by destroying the economy and livelihoods of millions of Americans. The president is captured by this philosophy, relentlessly pursuing economically destructive policies regardless of the consequences for Americans and billions of people in the

In our grandparents’ generation, those born before 1920, many young men and women entered the ‘trades’ after the eighth grade, which was the upper limit required in compulsory education.

Those who were skilled at working with their hands became apprentices under master craftsman, and by age 17 or 18, were working fulltime in their chosen field. Of course, many of these went straight into farming when we were still basically an agrarian society.

England ’s educational model has been realistic at meeting needs over the centuries, dividing students at age 13-14 through a series of tests and educational records.

Students will continue their studies in one of three types of high schools: vocational trade

Third World. In the latter case, what is inconvenient or hardship for Americans is famine and death to those existing on a bare subsistence standard of living. Fossil fuels are an essential component in the production of fertilizers required for food production that feeds most of the world, without which millions will starve.

The president and his administration blame Russia and the war in Ukraine for our current economic demise, but the facts are indisputable that it is his spending and energy policies that caused the current inflation and the ever-rising cost of energy. He tells us that he’s doing everything that can be done to bring inflation and energy prices under control and probably believes what he is saying, yet that isn’t the case. He continues to remove federal lands from oil and gas leasing, most recently in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska, while his regulatory agencies impose additional burdens upon producers and refiners

schools, middle management skills schools, and academic programs geared toward higher education. What this provides is a chance for everyone to be successful in finding their chosen field, whether it be working with their hands, their personalities, or their minds.

Locally, the good news is that vocational education is making a comeback, especially at Paso Robles High School. With energy, impetus, and funding efforts for 20 years, the Paso High has reached the status as “one of the very best vocational programs west of the Mississippi,” according to School Board Trustee Tim Gearhart.

Paso students have consistently scored among the highest in the state and national “Skills USA” competitions.

Over one-fourth of Paso High School, graduates have participated in the vocational program, with subjects ranging from welding, plumbing, carpentry, electronics, and metalworking to nursing and childcare. Students have the chance to start their vocational training classes in the ninth grade, giving them four years to master skills needed in the workplace.

Many students work after school in their area of expertise, often leading to full-time jobs upon graduation.

A big part of the reason for the success of this program is our local community’s participation. Community members and businesses donate funds to enable students to attend state and national competitions as well as provide mentoring and

On Gas and Guns

of oil and gas. Smaller refinery operators cannot bear the additional costs and close. We recently lost seven oil refineries due to new regulations imposed by federal agencies, resulting in a reduction of 10 percent of U.S. refining capacity since Biden took office. His administration’s hostility to the fossil fuel industry is well documented; he relentlessly pursued the most extreme anti-fossil fuel policies since his election.

Large swaths of the production and transportation side of the fossil fuel industry are also denied financing as banks under political pressure refuse loans for those who would explore and develop new oil and gas fields.

Energy supplies are available; America has the largest oil and gas reserves in the world, but we’re denied the ability to develop them by our own government. Instead, we watch as the Biden administration asks dictatorships to produce more oil and gas for America while ours remains in the ground. You’re paying

$6 plus a gallon for gas now; by the end of the summer, you’ll be paying $8 to $10/ gallon in California ($6/ gallon as a national average).

Economic reports last week warn that by summer’s end, we may run out of diesel and jet fuel which supplies our trucking fleet and airlines.

This is by design and isn’t necessary. The seven refineries that recently closed produced over 800,000 barrels of gas/day, the loss of which is driving up prices. The less you have of something, the more it costs. Conversely, if you want something to be cheaper, you produce more and increase the supply to bring down the price, a simple concept that seems to elude both President Biden and the Democrat Party.

While the economic dumpster fire is depressing, the recent massacre in Texas is heartbreaking. We can discuss guns, and Texas has some work to do on its gun laws: an 18-year-old was able to purchase an arsenal without even a hiccup. The type

Letters to the Editor like Rotary, Kiwanis, Elks, Optimists, Quota, Veterans, and others go quietly unnoticed. I might say the same about our churches.

Just walking around Atascadero Lake Park, if you look, you’ll find plaques honoring service club and citizen donors who paid for, or helped pay for, lighting, the band stand, and the Pavilion itself, among other things. In addition to over $30,000 per year in high school scholarships, the Atascadero Rotary club has supported our community through these many projects: AHS Auto Shop Upgrades, Parents For

I could go on.

I am grateful that I was introduced to our community through these wonderful civic heroes, and I encourage you to join in on their fundraisers or join one or more of

work opportunities.

Students also have the advantage of attending classes in their vocational field at Cuesta College while still in high school. For example, if there is a certain type of welding process or equipment that is not available at Paso High, the students can access that skill at Cuesta and receive dual credit. Students are often ready to seek fulltime employment in their field upon graduation.

Why is this such an important element of high school education? Because this broad range of hands-on vocational classes help keep student in high school and guide them toward graduation. These are the students that were falling through the cracks with a strictly academic emphasis. Now they have an area

of success, of focus, leading them to a rewarding and fulfilling future. Other local high schools are stepping up in the area of vocational education with the support and encouragement of the district Superintendent Jim Brescia. It’s truly the trend of the future and one that we can all support!

To those teachers who have struggled and fought to get vocational funding and programming for the past 20 years, thank you! And to the local community for supporting the efforts through funds and jobs for our students; you are appreciated! Let’s keep it going!

of gun he used is irrelevant as the mechanism within his semi-automatic rifle is the same used in every semi-automatic handgun and rifle in America. It is not a weapon of war as the media tags it, however menacing it looks.

Yet something, many things must be done. The massacre of innocents was preventable, but a cascade of human errors, as in most disasters, occurred and permitted the worst-case scenario to unfold. We need to seriously address the problem of guns in the wrong hands and the sick minds that produce such bloodbaths. We need to take seriously the issue that schools and our children are soft targets and in imminent danger. The Israelis learned this and now protect their schools with armed guards and hardened facilities.

Airports and government offices are protected, but our children are in the wind. We also need to accept that our violent culture and its obsession with violent online games play a significant role

in conditioning disturbed minds to kill without empathy; over 1,000 studies have shown this to be true. Army psychologist Lt. Col. Dave Grossman’s books, “On Killing”, “Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill”, and “Assassination Generation” all document the effect our violent culture is having on disturbed young minds from Columbine to the present.

Some will demand an end to personal access to firearms, usually, the same crowd that now calls for an end to free speech and diminish all the protections offered by the First Amendment. They demand abolition of the second Amendment, which protects the First, and we are expected to trust them with our liberty? Finally, for 70-plus years, America told God to take a hike; maybe we should invite him back into our lives.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

DATED: May 23, 2022 S/JERI RANGEL, Administrative Services Director PUBLISH: June 2, 2022 and June 9, 2022 LEGAL CM 363 PUBLIC NOTICE Auction set for June 10, 2022 at 10am for sale of general household items belonging to SueAne and Andy Anderson. Auction will be held at Golden Hills Mini Storage at 2328 Golden Hill Rd Paso Robles, CA 93446 PUB: 06/02, 06/09/2022 LEGAL CM 368 NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION The San Miguel Community Services District, acting as the Lead Agency under the CA Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), intends to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration at its regular meeting on July 28, 2022 for the San Miguel Wastewater Treatment Plan Upgrade/ Expansion Project (Project).

The District owns and operates the WWTF, located in the community of San Miguel, County of San Luis Obispo, CA. The WWTF occupies approximately 38.4 acres comprising four separate parcels, including Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 021-051013, -015, -016 and -017.

The main plant occupies approximately 17.8 acres, while the remaining 20.6 acres are located within the channel of the Salinas River to the east of the plant and mapped as Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Special Flood Hazard Zone A. The WWTF underwent the most recent significant upgrades in the 1990’s and these were completed in 2001 bringing its current and permitted capacity up to 200,000 gallons per day (0.2 million gallons per day). The District

currently treats an average of approximately 170,000 gallons per day. As noted in the Final EIR, San Miguel is expected to grow to a population of 3,658 in the year 2035 (County of San Luis Obispo 2016a). The District acknowledges that the existing WWTF is nearing capacity and has therefore proposed the WWTF expansion and upgrade (proposed project) to meet population projections and to comply with regulatory requirements.

Physical improvements that would occur as part of the proposed project include improvements to the collection system/reclaimed water system, pumping station, septic receiving station, office and laboratory facilities, and additional maintenance and equipment storage/shop facilities; upgrading and modernizing the electrical controls and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system; and upgrading the backup power generation facilities. With the exception of a new treatment processing pad and all-weather access road and associated grading as well as solar panels, all project components would be located within the main WWTF. The new treatment processing pad and grading would be located to the north of the main WWTF on land owned by the District that is routinely maintained and cleared.

Printed copies of the Negative Declaration will be available at the San Miguel Community Services District Office located at 1150 Mission St, San Miguel, CA 93451. Written comments should be submitted to the San Miguel Community Services District by 5:00 p.m. on July 11, 2022. Submit comments to the following: San Miguel Community Services District Office, 1150 Mission St, San Miguel, CA 93451 Attention: Kelly Dodds, Director of Utilities or by email at Kelly Dodds kelly.dodds@sanmiguelcsd.org.

PUB: 06/09, 06/16/2022 LEGAL CM 391 SAN MIGUEL COMMUNITY SERVICE DISTRICT NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the San Miguel Community Service District (Board of Directors) will hold a public hearing to consider adopting a resolution adopting the updated Paso Robles Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan (Updated GSP) and finding that the project is exempt from Section 21000 et seq. of the CA Public Resources Code (CEQA) pursuant to Water Code Section 10728.6.

Background In 2017, the Board of Directors formed the Paso Basin – San Miguel Community Service District Groundwater Sustainability Agency (SMCSD GSA) to comply with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).

The City of Paso Robles, the Shandon-San Juan Water District, and County of San Luis Obispo also formed groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) within their jurisdiction. The agencies (together, Paso Basin GSAs), whose service areas collectively cover the entire Paso Basin, entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), establishing the Paso Basin Cooperative Committee (Committee) for the purpose of developing a single groundwater sustainability plan (GSP) to be considered for adoption by each Paso Basin GSA and subsequently submitted to the CA Department of Water Resources (DWR) by the SGMA deadline of January 31, 2020 and for the purpose of continued coordination during the period of GSP adoption and DWR approval. Under the framework of the MOA, the Paso Basin GSAs engaged the public and coordinated to jointly develop the GSP which was recommended by the Committee for adoption by each of the Paso Basin GSAs. The Board of Directors held a public hearing and adopted Resolution 2016-34

adopting the GSP on November 21, 2019 and authorized the County Director of Public Works, or designee, as the Plan Manager to submit the GSP to DWR. The GSP was submitted to DWR on January 30, 2020.

On January 21, 2022, DWR announced that the GSP had received an incomplete determination under the provisions of SGMA and the Final GSP Emergency Regulations. The determination started a 180-day window to address DWR’s comments.

DWR found two areas of deficiency in the GSP: (1) the GSP did not include an adequate assessment of potential impacts to domestic wells associated with chronic lowering of groundwater levels, and (2) the GSP did not include an adequate assessment of the potential for depletion of interconnected surface waters. The Paso Basin GSAs initiated communications with DWR staff immediately after receipt of the initial notification and retained the services of a consultant to provide technical assistance in addressing the deficiencies. The work in addressing the deficiencies was completed and the GSP has been updated. The Committee recommended the Updated GSP for adoption by each of the Paso Basin GSAs at its April 27, 2022 meeting consistent with the terms of the MOA, and the Updated GSP sections were made available at the following link: Should the Board of Directors decide to adopt the resolution, such action would allow the County to submit the Updated GSP and continue coordinating with the Paso Basin GSAs on GSP implementation, maintaining compliance with SGMA requirements.

Hearing Information Date and Time: Tuesday, June 23 2022 Meeting begins at 6:00 PM., please check District Agenda for updates: www.sanmiguelcsd.org Location: San Miguel Community Service District 1150 Mission Street San Miguel, CA 93451 Members of the public will be allowed to make oral and written comments during the hearing.

et’s start with reminders today since there are some great events on the horizon. One event that is only 25 days away from today ( June 9) is the Rotary Club of Templeton 2022 July 4th Parade.

Members invite you to join in the excitement of celebrating the 4th by entering a float or another kind of units like a bicycle group, a marching group, or even a show-car club.

The theme this year is “Standing for Liberty.” The Rotary Club asks you to remember that the parade is an American tradition based on American values and liberties. They ask that you keep your displays within the theme, and American in nature. The parade is not the place to make political or causation statements, and violators will be expelled from the parade.

For a parade application and a list of parade policies, visit

weekend at the Atascadero Printery when Printery Foundation members, in participation with the California Preservation Foundation, present “2022 Doors Open California” on June 11-12 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The historic Printery building is located at 6351 Olmeda Avenue in Atascadero and will be a Central Coast Region feature of Doors Open California.

Learn more about the Foundation’s efforts to rehabilitate the Printery, the first building completed in Atascadero.

Features of the event will include historic printing equipment and displays of many of the publications produced over the nearly 50 years it was in operation as a printery. There will be an in-depth virtual tour showing the progress of the restoration and a display of detailed drawings and renderings of its future as an amazing asset to the community.

This Friday, June 10, from 6 to 9 p.m., the Printery Foundation will transform the site into a 1915 Garden Party setting for an all-ages dance. There will be food for purchase. Dance tick-

Start your day at the Templeton Fire Department’s Pancake Breakfast (tickets sold by the Fire Department) at 7 a.m., then get your seat along Crocker or Main Street from 1st to 8th streets.

Parade announcers, including Dick Mason from KPRL, Dan Butz, and Mike Goodman, local Templeton volunteers, will keep you posted on the parade entries as they move along.

After the parade, join friends and family in the Templeton Community Park for live music, tons of food, including the Templeton Rotary Club hot dog booth, nonprofit booths with activities for the whole family, a bounce house, Lions Club Live Auction, cold beer and much more, until 3 p.m. No dogs, please. No fireworks are allowed.

r. Ernest Holmes wrote, “Nature will not let us stay in any one place for too long. She will let us stay just long enough to gather the experience necessary for the unfolding and advancement of the soul. This is a wise provision, for should we stay there too long, we would become too set, too rigid, too inflexible. Nature demands change so that we may advance.”

Embracing change implies that you don’t see change as adversity but as an opportunity to improve yourself or try new things. Amid

the various shifts in life, we are called to be optimistic about our situation, capabilities, and ability to adapt to change.

The definition of embrace is to hold closely, especially as a sign of affection. Rather than resist change, if we can shift our mindset to hold change closely, our hearts would open to a greater level of love. There is freedom in our remembering that things are constantly changing.

When many changes happen at once, as they often do, I turn to the poignant words of St. Theresa of Avila, who wrote, “Let nothing disturb me. Let nothing frighten me. Everything is changing. God is changeless. Patience attains the goal. God alone is real. Whoever has God lacks nothing.”

Those words serve as a map to guide me back to the center of my being. While things are chang-

ing externally, there is that within me that is changeless. As I relax into the flow, I release resistance and float in the buoyancy of the Beloved One’s comfort, security, and confidence. I am held in love.

I am Divinely supported.

Sometimes you must step back and turn off calculative thinking, stop the need to figure things out, stop the urge to manipulate the situation, and get out of your head. It’s like pressing the pause button.

Remove yourself from the racing thoughts of fear, doubt, worry, and confusion by entering the pause. Now you can get in touch with Ultimate Reality and what it wants to tell you.

What wisdom does it have for you? What’s really going on here?

As you move out of calculative thinking and trying to figure things out, you move into inspired

“Did anyone ever try to slip you a file in a birthday cake, or did you ever try to break out of COVID-19, grandpa?

“Yeah, I dug a tunnel but somehow got disoriented, and when I busted out, I came up in the warden’s office. For that, he cut off my free cable TV and took the government stimulus checks all the prisoners got. The warden was on the take. He was the biggest crook in the place.”

“Did you get time off for good behavior, Grandpa?”

“No, but when all the prisons got overcrowded, and they started releasing mass murderers, I slipped through the cracks. But the world had changed completely by the time I got out. I swore upon my release that I was running so far away from COVID-19 that it would take a hundred bucks in stamps just to send me a postcard.”

wisdom thinking, where the right ideas flow through your awareness fit for effective and powerful living. Inspired wisdom thinking occurs through listening to the innate wisdom of the Source of All Creation within you. Listen to the voice of your Highest Self.

Meditation is a receptive spiritual practice where you listen for that voice, listen to that voice.

Pause for the cause. Take a deep breath. Rise above the world of effects in your meditation and listen. Something wants to be revealed to you. You are a magnificent, radiant, shining force for good. The most profound wisdom of your Highest Self is ready to be shared with you. Take another deep breath.

Affirm, “I’m ready. I’m available.

I’m willing.”

I am listening.

COMMUNITY Must! Charities Youth Board Raises Funds for Nonprofits FUNDRAISER

Student group raised over $9,000 to support summer field trips at three North County locations STAFF REPORT

PASO ROBLES — Grassroots fundraising by the Must! Charities Youth Board raised over $9,000 to support summer field trips at three North County locations of People’s Self-Help Housing with their Camino Scholars program.

The funds provided field trips to museums, the beach, and the parks — but the Youth Board did not stop there.

Originally challenged to raise $2,500 with a generous match from local philanthropists Don and Elaine Witmer, the board took a

THEATRE

A Universal Thread: Women and Their Clothes Wine Country Theater presents Love, Loss and What I Wore STAFF REPORT

PASO ROBLES — Wine Country Theatre of Paso Robles presents the award-winning theatre piece, Love, Loss and What I Wore at Plymouth Congregational Church Hall starting on June 10 and will run through June 19.

The highly acclaimed play, written by Nora and Delia Ephron (writers of Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, and You’ve Got Mail), is a simply staged collection of stories about women, their clothing and the memories they hold. Love, Loss and What I Wore was one of the longest-running shows Off-Broadway, and it reminds us that clothes tell stories and store memories, revealing who we were and who we wanted to be.

Featuring six local actresses playing 28 characters, the stories revolve around the main character Gingy, played by Mary-Ann Maloof and supported by a talented ensemble featuring Dori Duke, Kristen Saunders, Lindsey Taylor, Allison Bradshaw, and Christine Miller. Director Cynthia Anthony said, “The play is funny, powerful, poignant, and so very relatable. From bras, boots, and bathrobes to prom dress and an irreplaceable shirt, a ridiculous ring, and the hatred of a big purse, the show is heartfelt and hilarious. The soul of the play isn’t the actual clothes themselves but what is hidden or declared in reference to the garments and how the characters and people in their lives remember them.”

Wine Country Theatre is a non-profit, professional-caliber community theatre that has been producing plays and musicals for eight years, primarily at the Park Ballroom in downtown Paso Robles. During the pandemic,

the theatre lost their ‘home’ due to a change in management at the building in which they performed.

Not to be stopped, the company produced a musical revue outdoors at the Harris Stage Lines Event Center last September. This production of Love, Loss and What I Wore will be presented in the fellowship hall adjacent to Plymouth Congregational Church on 13th and Oak Streets in Paso Robles. Snacks and local wines are available for purchase which attendees can enjoy during the show while seated at round tables.

General Seating tickets cost $28 and are available at My805Tix.com. Opening June 10 and running through June 19, the showtime is 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights and 2 p.m. on Sundays. The doors open one hour before the performance. For more information, contact Cynthia Anthony at (805) 610-0786.

“I try to focus on the range of genres you’d all have; from drama kids, to cheer, to water polo, even those of you who felt they have no group,” Lambert said. “Despite the variety of everyone, there’s something that unifies us. Our setting of AHS ranging from the bowl to the quad to all over campus. Here, our movies likely share scenes of driving to In-N-Out after a football game while exhausted, or going outside due to the 50th fire alarm in one semester.”

For two weeks, Burchett and DeHoff went to different farms and ranches in California. They ended up producing 13 episodes, with new episodes available every Tuesday, starting June 7, for the next three months.

The idea for the project came up in February when DeHoff, who lives in Texas, picked up Burchett from the Dallas Airport, saving Burchett from enduring a seven-hour layover.

“So the LCAP is specific to supplemental dollars. Each year we go through a process identifying how our students are progressing in the areas of academic growth, college, career readiness, and school climate,” Rossi said. “And we review that information; we review the actions and services that we have tied to those to see which are effective, which need adjustment and gather input from our educational partners,

ons, model United Nations champions, FFA champions. Experts in band, choir, and drama, and a lot of other things. Among you are people who have worked hard, competed hard, and who have tasted the sweet rewards of success.”

More than two-thirds of the graduating class wore green and black chords that signified they also completed college courses while finishing high school with dual enrollment. And other students wore colored tassels to indicate that they had completed CTE pathways, providing them with job-ready skills.

“Some of you have been recognized as AP scholars and scholar-athletes,”

Andrus said. “All of you have succeeded in doing the work and demonstrating the learning and the growth to earn your diploma, to leave high school, and to go out into life. In short, you’ve already accomplished extraordinary things here in high school.”

He went on to say that the students are supported by the local community, which in total donated $192,000 in local scholarships.

Andrus then certified that the graduating class had met all requirements to graduate, and Superintendent Tom Butler authorized the Class of 2022 to receive their diplomas of graduation.

The diplomas were handed out by the Atascadero Unified School District

Board of Trustees: Ray Buban, Donn Clickard, Tami Gunther, Corinne Kuhnle, Mary Kay Mills, George Shoemaker, and Terri Switzer.

“Mr. Andrus, Mr. Butler, and members of the Board of Trustees, on behalf of the Class of 2022, I accept the diplomas of graduation. Seniors, please rise, move your tassels from the right to the left,” stated Masullo on her return to the stage.

The graduation ceremony concluded with cheers and fanfare from both the graduates on the field and the thousands and family and friends in attendance.

Hats off to Atascadero High School’s graduating Class of 2022.

results show San Luis Obispo County District 2 Supervisor incumbent Bruce Gibson coming in with 54 percent of the vote, Geoff Auslen and Bruce Jones at 17 percent, and John Whitworth with 13 percent.

District 3 results show incumbent Dawn Ortiz-Legg in the lead with 65 percent, Stacy Korsgaden at 31 percent, and Arnold Ruiz at 3 percent.

Incumbent Supervisor Lynn Compton, who holds the District 4 seat, is trailing at 41 percent, and challenger Jimmy Paulding is coming in with 59 percent of the votes.

SLO County Clerk-Recorder

incumbent Elaina Cano is currently at 67 percent of the votes with her challengers James Baugh (18 percent) and Stewart Jenkins (15 percent).

The SLO County Superior Court Judge no. 12 seat is leaning towards Mike Frye with 68 percent of the votes and Paul Phillips with 32 percent.

With each of these races coming in with one candidate receiving more than 50 percent of the votes, it is likely they will be final once all the votes have been counted and will not advance to November.

San Luis Obispo County Superintendent James Brescia, Assessor Tom

The friends each grew up in the agriculture industry — Burchett growing up on the Twisselman Ranch in Carissa Plains and DeHoff a fourth-generation cattle rancher from Kansas. While their careers took them out of the everyday agriculture business, they each wanted to marry their passions of agriculture and travel. And what better way to do that than to create their own television show? Less than three months later, Burchett and DeHoff were in their “hippie cowgirl van” and on the road Burchett explained why they didn’t waste time getting started.

“If we don’t do it now, life is going to get busy, things are going to get in the

parent groups, LCAP steering committee, and our administrators. We meet with student groups and update the board along the way.

“Coming back from our last update in April, we have met with another set of student groups and our LCAP steering committee, and we’ve had no input that has caused any adjustments to our LCAP.” This week’s report was information only, but Rossi will be bringing the LCAP report back at the June 14 meeting for approval.

“It’s super fun, but you also definitely know why you’re there and what it is that you’re supporting. We make sure that that’s clear,” Bagby said. “There’s a banner that you can sign if you’re walking or running in memory of somebody or somebody that’s battling addiction. A

way, the excitement is going to fizzle, and it might not ever happen — we decided we are going to do this come hell or high water,” Burchett said.

After creating a website, Burchett and DeHoff raised funds for their new venture and gained some sponsors.

Burchett and DeHoff ’s first stop was the Allgood family in Creston. They then met with agriculture members in Edna Valley, Oceano, Coalinga, Lodi, and Sonoma, just to name a few.

Each stop on their journey was meant to highlight diverse members of agriculture. As said on their website, “From pistachio growers to tatted-up chefs and restauranteurs, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ farmers, cattle ranchers, mental health professionals, vinters and more — this digital series will

focus not only on the facts, but the faces and stories of the people who are as diverse as the industries they serve.”

Season one features the agriculture community in California, but that is just the start of the Backroad Cowgirl dream. Burchett and DeHoff have plans to take the road all over North America and eventually overseas. According to Burchett, they are already in the works with some big investors for season two of the series.

Ultimately, the two friends hope to take the series to a streaming platform like Hulu or Netflix. Their hope with these platforms is to reach an audience outside of agriculture and to bridge the gap between the farming industry and the rest of the world.

Episode one of the series released on June 7, features Jamie Mickelson of Sonoma. Mickelson attended Cal Poly and now works alongside her family raising Hereford cattle. Despite being born with profound hearing loss, Mickelson is dedicated to living her lifelong dream of expanding her families legacy in the ranching industry.

“Agriculture doesn’t just have one look,” explained Burchett, “but it’s so much bigger than what we traditionally think of when we think of agriculture and farming and ranching.”
