o my fellow Roblans: It is hard to believe that it was just a few short months ago that I was sworn in as your mayor. With the untimely and unexpected passing of our dear friend and colleague Mayor Steve Martin, the City Council voted that I be appointed to carry on the duties and responsibilities of the mayor’s office from my position as Mayor Pro Tem on the 5th of September. I was indeed honored by Mayor Martin’s request before his passing, along with so many Roblans who asked me to step into the role. Even though I did not seek to be in this position, I would like to thank everyone that has given me the encouragement to lead us forward into the future. Your confidence strengthens me, and I promise I will do my best to make the coming years beneficial for all Paso Robles citizens.

Looking back on 2023, your council and city staff have accomplished much despite the continuing work to recover from a global pandemic. I am proud to report that the city is using your tax dollars wisely to continue efforts that will improve our quality of life and preserve our unique history. We never forget that these dollars come from you.

Out of the many things the city has worked on in 2023, here are some key areas of achievements, future goals and objectives that council gets asked about most often: Infrastructure development: • Anchored by Measure E-12

Arrest made in sexual assault of two juveniles

JOSUE PEREZROSALES San Luis Obispo Police Department’s Detective Bureau has successfully apprehended Josue PerezRosales, a 46-yearold resident of San Luis Obispo, for the sexual assault of two juveniles. The arrest was made on Thursday, Dec. 21, in San Luis Obispo.

In September 2023, the investigation began after a juvenile female reported a sexual assault that occurred approximately 10 years earlier when she was five years old. PerezRosales was identified as the suspect. the years. Judy will be truly missed, especially seeing the many pictures of her baking, cooking, and tending to her flowers.

Survived by: Glen Wolf (Husband), Christopher Brown (Son), Jason Wolf (Stepson), Karen Wolf (Stepdaughter), Butch Brown, Mike Brown, Tom Brown, Jim Shannon (Brothers), Janie Roeder, Myra Cook (Sisters), Anthony Vega, Stephen Brown (Grandsons), two Great Grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Subsequent inquiries revealed a 2020 sexual assault case involving a 15-year-old male victim, previously evaluated but not prosecuted due to insufficient evidence. The recent evidence prompted the reopening of the 2020 case, leading to the issuance of an arrest warrant on Dec. 20.

PerezRosales was taken into custody on Dec. 21 without incident. He is currently held at the San Luis Obispo County Jail on charges including felony sex/sodomy with a child under 10, felony lewd act upon a child, felony sodomy of person under 16, felony oral copulation of a person under 16, and felony lewd acts upon a child. His bail is set at $500,000.

Crisis and information assistance for sexual assault survivors are available through Lumina Alliance at (805) 545-8888. The Police Department encourages anyone with pertinent information to come forward to aid in the ongoing investigation.

King Trail reopens in Irish Hills Natural Reserve The Parks & Recreation Department’s Ranger Service announced the reopening of the King Trail in the Irish Hills Natural Reserve, inviting the community to rediscover this scenic trail.

Following damage sustained during the January 2023 storms, the King Trail has undergone a comprehensive reconstruction.

While the trail’s beginning and end remain unchanged, the damaged middle portion has been replaced with 0.6 miles of new trail, enhancing the overall experience for community members.

Designed as a multi-use trail, the newly reconstructed section accommodates both walkers and cyclists. Meandering through oak trees, the trail offers picturesque views as it ascends to the upper Irish Hills trail system.

Accessible from the Madonna Road Trailhead, King Trail can be linked with Mariposa Trail for a 2.4-mile loop or Froom Creek Trail for a 2.7-mile loop.

The successful reconstruction was made possible by the dedication of over 250 volunteer hours, with guidance from the Office of Sustainability and Natural Resources. The Ranger Service carefully compacted the tread and utilized loose dirt from the initial construction, taking advantage of the first rain of the season. Ongoing monitoring will ensure the protection of natural resources in the project area.

This initiative aligns with the city’s commitment to Climate Action, Open Space & Sustainable Transportation. By preserving open spaces and facilitating equitable access to parks and open space, the Ranger Service leads by example in achieving these citywide goals. The community is encouraged to explore the reimagined King Trail and experience the beauty Proceeded in death by Eleanor Shannon (Mother), Jim Shannon II (Stepfather), Howard Brown (Father), Amelda Brown (Stepmother), Robert Brown, David Brown, Raymond Brown (Brothers)

Arrest made for possession of child pornography San Luis Obispo Police Department’s Investigations Unit has arrested 25-year-old Shahda Atieea, a resident of San Luis Obispo, for possession of child pornography.

Following a response to a disorderly subject call on Nov. 11 at an apartment complex on Osos Street, Atieea was arrested for felony domestic violence involving a female victim. Subsequent investigation revealed that Atieea had secretly recorded sexual activity with the victim without her knowledge.

A search warrant was secured for Atieea’s cell phone, leading to the discovery of several hundred videos of child pornography during the forensic examination.

On Dec. 14, Atieea was arrested specifically for possession of child pornography. A subsequent search warrant executed at his residence resulted in the seizure of additional electronic devices for further investigation.

Currently held at the San Luis Obispo County Jail, Atieea’s bail is set at $150,000. Charges encompass both the initial arrest for felony domestic violence and the recent arrest for possession of child pornography, including PC 311.11(a) – Possession-Depicting Sexual Conduct of Child (Felony), PC 311.11(c) – Possession of Matter Depicting Minor Engaging in Sexual Conduct (Felony), PC 273.5(a) – Domestic Violence (Felony), and PC 632(a) – Invasion of Privacy (Misdemeanor).

The San Luis Obispo Police Department encourages anyone with additional information related to this case to contact the Investigations Unit at (805) 783-7765.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

ell, after avoiding COVID during the pandemic, it finally caught up with us. I tested positive on the 16th and John tested positive two days later. We both have had all of the vaccinations that were offered, and I think that may have helped us with the severity of the side effects of the “bug.”

However, we are still testing positive. Therefore, we are still housebound and not “happy campers.”

This was the first Christmas in the 64 years of our marriage that we were unable to freely come and go to shop and to visit with family and friends. It put a new perspective on what is important at this time of the year.

I know it could have been worse, and many of you know what I mean by that. I just needed to “whine” a little!

Recipes this week include this one for black-eyed peas. Remember to eat your peas on New Year’s Day, to bring you luck in

round our house, we practice the traditional Christmas customs. My wife and I kiss under the mistletoe or a close facsimile thereof. And we eat turkey in every conceivable fashion from Thanksgiving until New Years.

There is the customary wrapping and unwrapping of packages and not taking down the outdoor lights until July 4th.

We swap cards with long-lost friends and relatives, drink egg nog, hang our stockings with care, and test the limit on our charge cards like everyone else.

But the one Christmas custom that I enjoy most is decorating the dead evergreen we drag into our house every November.

That’s when I get to open the boxes that contain our Christmas ornaments. Individually wrapped in crumpled tissue, like a jigsaw

the new year.

Black-Eyed Pea Salad Ingredients: • 2 (15-ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion rings • 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic • 1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimientos, drained • 1/4 cup cider vinegar • 1/4 cup vegetable oil • 1 teaspoon sugar • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper • Hot pepper sauce Directions: Combine the peas, onion rings, bell pepper, garlic, pimientos, vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, pepper, and hot pepper sauce to taste in a medium bowl; mix well.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or overnight before serving. Serves 8 Note: If canned black-eyed peas are not available, use one 16-ounce package frozen peas and cook according to package directions. Pour cooked peas into a colander and rinse under cold running water. Shake off excess liquid and season lightly with salt.

Proceed with the salad recipe.

Another way to “eat your peas” on New Year’s Day follows with this soup recipe.

Black-Eyed Pea Soup Ingredients: • 1 pound ground beef • 1 cup finely chopped onion • 1 pound Polish sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces • 2 (15-ounce) cans black-eyed peas with jalapeňos • 1 (14-ounce) can beef broth • 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes • 1 (10-ounce) can mild diced tomatoes and green chiles • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped mild green chiles • 1 to 2 medium jalapeňo chiles, seeded and chopped, optional • 1/8 teaspoon salt Directions: Place a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onions and cook until the beef is browned, stirring frequently. Add the sausage, black-eyed peas, broth, diced tomatoes, tomatoes with chiles, jalapeňos, if using, and salt; mix well. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, and cover tightly.

Simmer for 45 minutes. Refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to blend. Reheat before

serving. Serves 8 Note: Delicious served with a cheesy cornbread.

Baked Cheese Dip Ingredients: • 1 large round sourdough loaf, unsliced • 2 Tablespoon butter • 1 bunch green onions, chopped • 5 cloves garlic, minced • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (room temperature) • 2 cups sour cream • 12 ounces medium cheddar cheese, grated • 1 can water-packed artichoke hearts, drained and chopped Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Hollow out a nice size portion of the bread. Sauté green onions and garlic in the butter. Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add the sautéed green onion and garlic mixture to the cheddar cheese and artichoke. Give mixture a good stir and pour into bread bowl. Wrap bread bowl in foil and bake about 90 minutes.

Happy New Year to one and all! Cheers!

puzzle, each piece, when hung on the tree, collectively tells the story of our life together.

My wife and I each inherited a few ornaments from our respective families to remind us of Christmas as kids, but most of our ornaments have been collected in our nearly 50 years of marriage. Amongst my favorite are the hand-painted wooden figures that remind me of our early years when we didn’t have enough money to buy gaily colored glass balls or blown glass figurines. Through the years, we have added ornaments of every description ... glass, leather, plastic, wood, old-fashioned, and modern. Like us, many of them bear scratches and scars.

Whenever my wife and I would travel, we’d buy an ornament to remind us of our adventures to places like Australia, Williamsburg on Christmas Eve, the Caribbean, skiing or house-boating with Skinner and Joan, Hawaii, our three month trip to all the continental 48 states, and one very special evening at the Kennedy Center with my mom. Unwrapping the ornaments and hanging them on

the tree is like revisiting those special places.

Some cherished ornaments have been given to us by special friends and favorite relatives. A picture of a god child in a small frame or an engraved angel with the date of an anniversary. In our house, an ornament doesn’t have to be pretty to be hung in a prominent position on our tree.

One of our least pretty is also one of our most prized, a gift from a much loved aunt who lived in Ecuador for awhile.

It takes three days to decorate our tree each year. Not because it takes that long to toss the tinsel but because each ornament tells a story that I must recall and retell.

Or, an ornament will remind me of someone I think about only once a year.

Naturally, many of our ornaments have a country theme. A cowboy Santa Claus, a Holstein reindeer, or a candy cane boot.

A few years ago, my wife began collecting cow ornaments. Someone found out, and now cow ornaments are found in every gift shop in America. And we have bought one of each, I do believe.

In our scrapbook of Christ-

mas “Kodak moments” are two pictures of our trimmed tree taken several years apart.

Astonishingly, the ornaments are placed in nearly the same spot, although years apart. It seems that unknowingly my wife and I have prioritized the ornaments. Favorites go in the front and in the middle. Those without a story to tell are hung in the back. But they are all irreplaceable. So much so that my wife keeps them in boxes close at hand for easy retrieval in case of fire or flood.

Like the people we have met and the places we have been, these Christmas tree ornaments decorate our lives. In most cases, they were presents that we gave ourselves. They represent the shared experiences we have hung on our tree of life. I must admit that tree is getting crowded now and I don’t know how much more it can handle but it will always bring a smile to my face and hold a special place in my heart.

A New Thing

sarah-kate duran COLUMNIST

C

hristmas came. You got new stuff. Jan. 1 is just a few days away and we are going into a brandnew year. Lots of changes are happening. Did you realize God, who has always been, is into new stuff too? Revelation 1:8 Jesus says, “I am the Alpha (the beginning) and the Omega (the end), who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever Hebrews 13:8 says. He is God and He never changes.

James 1:17 tells us there is no variation or shifting shadow in the Father of Lights. We can also be for certain that God is

the Creator of all life. Scripture is full of verses expounding on the Creator. Acts 17:24, “The God who made the world and all things in it…” John 1:3, “All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being.”

And Colossians 1:16 says, “For

by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible…”

Though He does not change, He is always creating. He likes doing a new thing.

I love Isaiah 43:18-19. God is talking: “Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.” God reiterates this point in Philippians 3:13: “forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead”. He wants us to learn from the past, but we

cannot camp out there. He is calling us to perceive and realize He is doing a new thing! He is doing a new impossible thing!

Will you not pay attention?!

Psalm 40:3 says, “He put a new song in my mouth”. God expects new praise! There is always a new reason to praise God! If you cannot think of anything Lamentations 3 says that God’s lovingkindness, compassions, and mercies are new every morning! He has always been good. But what’s He doing now? Remember He does not change; He is the same God. He is always up to something! Praise Him for it and embrace and get on board with what He is doing and wants to do in your life!

2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” God is perfect as is. But you do not have to stay the same. We shouldn’t! You can

shed that former person who was hard, unforgiving, hurt, depressed, malicious, manipulative, and angry as you accept Christ into your life. 2 Corinthians 3:18 encourages us that we are being transformed into His image from glory to glory.

Thank God we do not have to stay in our rotten sin-filled state!

We can hold onto Philippians 1:6 that says we can be confident that God who began a good work in us will complete it!

Do you want a new and better thing in 2024? Then do something new and better! Get on God’s campaign and embrace the new thing He wants to accomplish in your life!

A wonderful aspect of our Lord that never changes is that He is always creating. We love that about, You, God. Sarah-Kate Duran is an independent columnist for The Atascadero News and Paso Robles Press; you can email them at alphabeth@tcsn.net
