SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — e “Wall at Heals” made its way to the

San Luis Obispo County Administrative Officer Wade Horton Resigns on Tuesday
County o cials prepare for nationwide search to nd a suitable replacement
BY HAYLEY MATTSON
SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — San Luis Obispo County Administrative O cer (CAO)
Wade Horton has resigned from his position, County Counsel Rita Neal announced following a Board of Supervisors closed session on Tuesday.
Horton’s resignation comes amid a request for his performance evaluation, which was initiated by a member of the SLO County Board of Supervisors several weeks ago. County o cials have not disclosed which supervisor requested the review.
Although the board agenda refers to an “annual performance evaluation” of Horton, this was the rst performance review scheduled since he was appointed as head of the county in 2017. During the closed session on Tuesday, March 21, the board unanimously accepted Horton’s resigna-
tion with a 5-0 vote.
“We can’t thank Mr. Horton enough for his honorable and committed dedication to the County of San Luis Obispo,” said John Peschong, the Board of Supervisors Chairman. “He is a true public servant that has made a real di erence in the County throughout his tenure.”
Horton began working for the county’s Administrative O ce as the County Administrator in 2017. Prior to that, he served as the County’s Public Works Director and the Deputy Director of Utilities/Water for the City of San Luis Obispo.
e speci c reason behind Horton’s resignation has not been disclosed. In a statement, Horton expressed gratitude for his time serving the county, “It has been an absolute privilege to serve the Board, organization, and residents of San Luis Obispo County for the last 8 years,” he said. “I am proud of all we have accomplished together.”
O cials have announced that the County will
soon begin a nationwide search for a new County Administrative O cer to ll the vacant position. In the meantime, it remains unclear who will serve as the interim CAO during the transition period.
As the search for Horton’s replacement commences, the county will undoubtedly seek a candidate with strong leadership skills and a background in public administration. e new CAO will be responsible for overseeing the daily operations of the county, implementing policies set forth by the Board of Supervisors, and ensuring that the needs of the county’s residents are met.
Horton’s departure signi es the end of a signi cant chapter for San Luis Obispo County, particularly given his crucial role as the County Emergency Services Director throughout the challenging COVID-19 pandemic.
While the speci c reasons for his resignation are yet to be known, the in uence Horton had on the county throughout his tenure, particularly during extraordinary times, will undoubtedly be
ELECTIONS
remembered.
As San Luis Obispo County moves forward, both its leaders and residents will certainly be attentive to the individual who will take on the role of the new County Administrative O cer, as well as the trajectory they will set for the county in the upcoming years.

3. Exact dates to be decided
4. 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. (including lunch) as the time for classes

PASO ROBLES
Driver Arrested Following
Fatal Accident on Hwy. 101
One person died at the scene of a car accident just outside of Paso Robles on Tuesday night, March 14. Following the accident, the driver of one of the vehicles was arrested.
Alcohol was believed to have played a role in the wrong-way crash that occurred around 11:18 p.m. in the northbound lanes of Highway 101 north of Wellsona Road.
According to California Highway Patrol (CHP), Alvaro AlvizoDiaz, 33, of Ventura was heading eastbound on Wellsona Road and turned southbound into the northbound lanes of Highway 101. He reportedly was driving around 65 mph in his 2020 Nissan Sentra when he crashed head-on into an oncoming vehicle driven by Isaldo ArellanoSantiago, 38, of Oxnard.
ArellanoSantiago, who was driving a 2000 Ford F-150, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers say AlvizoDiaz sustained major injuries and was taken to the hospital and was later arrested. A passenger in his vehicle was treated on scene for pain but refused to be transported to the hospital.
Grant Awarded to City of Paso
Robles for Recycled Water Distribution System
e State of California has awarded the City of Paso
Robles a $9,730,000 grant for construction of the city’s Recycled Water Distribution System project. e grant is provided by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, through an agreement with the State Water Resources Control Board. e grant will be in combination with a low-interest loan.
The project includes construction of a major pump station at the city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant near the Salinas River, 4.5 miles of large diameter water pipeline across the northern part of the city, and a 900,000-gallon concrete tank at the eastern edge of city limits, near Barney Schwartz Park. is infrastructure will enable the city to deliver over 3,000 acre-feet per year of high-quality recycled water to the city’s east side, for irrigation of parks, golf courses, vineyards, and common area landscaping in new housing developments. is new source of irrigation water will o set pumping of groundwater and help alleviate the prob-
lem of declining groundwater elevations in the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin. Recycled water will also help conserve the city’s valuable supplies of drinking water.
Now that nancing is in place, the city will move ahead with completing plans and speci cations for construction and acquisition of easements. e city aims to have the project ready for bidding and start of construction by the end of 2023.
e city plans to sell the recycled water to those who use it for irrigation. is revenue will be used to pay back the construction loan and expenses for operation and maintenance. The price of recycled water will be driven by the cost of the recycled water infrastructure, so this grant funding will help make recycled water use more economical.
e city has already begun constructing a large segment of the Recycled Water Distribution System. On Feb. 21, City Council awarded a $3,664,525 contract to Mountain Cascade of Livermore, for construction of a 1,900-footlong segment of pipeline under the Salinas River and up a steep hillside on the east side of the river. is segment will be completed by late spring 2024. Construction of the Salinas River Segment is made possible by an additional $3.5 million grant awarded to the city in 2022 by the California Department of Water Resources, with assistance from the County of San Luis Obispo’s Groundwater Sustainability O ce.

ATASCADERO
Male Juvenile Investigated for Snapchat Post
On Friday, March 3, students reported to school sta that a juvenile male had posted a Snapchat while holding a rearm in what appeared to be one of the restrooms at Atascadero High School (AHS).
“First of all, we always want to be super appreciative and grateful to the people that reported that,” stated Atascadero Uni ed School District’s Superintendent Tom Butler. “It was fantastic that they did so. As a result, administrative sta and law enforcement did a fantastic job and immediately determined that there was no threat to the high school and then also immediately conducted a successful investigation.”
e case was handled by the school resource o cer, and the student, when contacted, did not have the rearm in his possession at the time. However, the juvenile did admit to having possession of his father’s gun on campus.
e incident was isolated, and Butler stressed that, as always, they took this incident seriously.
“I was very pleased with the speedy, timely, perfectional response of our administrative team, as well as law enforcement, here locally,” Butler added. “And then also we always apply the appropriate and signi cant discipline to these situations.”
e rearm was recovered from the juvenile’s home, o campus, and a case was led with juvenile probation for possession of a rearm at a public school.
“I think one of the ways that we keep our campuses safe is to continually have a vigilant community where anyone in our community sees something that is concerning or questions potentially the behavior of anybody in our community report it. And
thats’ how we’re able to keep a safe school,” concluded Butler.
Highway 41 Expected to Reopen this Weekend
Since Tuesday, March 14, Highway 41/Morro Road has been closed due to fallen trees and a mudslide. Currently, the road closure a ects both directions of the highway from Los Altos to San Gabriel Roads, which resides predominantly close to Atascadero, closest to Highway 101.
Roughly a 3-mile stretch, the highway should reopen by this coming weekend if weather and clearing of the trees and mud permits. According to Caltrans District 5, crews removed an estimated 6,000 yards of dirt from the slide and need to cut and remove another 10,000 yards of slope. Aside from trees and mud, rocks and boulders need to be moved and the hillside stabilized.
Fortunately, there are alternative routes that can be utilized in the meantime. Drivers can use Highway 46 to connect to Highway 101 and Highway 1. Caltrans expects the road to be reopened this weekend.

At the sentencing hearing, the 9-year-old and 19-yearold stood strong when telling the judge how the defendant’s crimes against them had a ected them personally. One specifically described how their childhood was stolen from them by the cruel acts of molestation at such a young age and over a sevenyear period. e foster mom to one of the victims told the Judge that her son, “would not be [the defendant’s] victim, he would be a victor.”
After hearing from the victims, while issuing the maximum punishment allowed by California law, Judge van Rooyen told the defendant, “You are a serial predator, you destroyed the family, you will face the consequences.”
“We applaud these young survivors for speaking out and having their voices heard. We hope that their courage to report and testify and the resulting long prison sentence will encourage other victims of all ages in our community

the wet weather, over 100 people showed up to escort the wall.
“To them they are escorting their fallen brothers on the wall, so it is like a memorial service for them,” said Boyd, who passed out special momentos to those who participated in the transport.
The wet weather created a muddy setting for the wall after set-up. It was common to overhear veterans who served in Vietnam to crack a few jokes saying, “looks like they brought the Vietnam mud along with it.”
Wednesday, March 29, marks the 50th anniversary of the removal of American combat troops from Vietnam. Templeton resident Rodney Dykhouse served as an Army helicopter pilot ying Hueys from 1970 to 1971, and came
to see the wall at Madonna Meadows.
“[It] tugs at the heart strings — [the] rst time in Washington I cried my eyes out,” said Dykhouse of seeing the wall again and of his rst time seeing the original in Washington, D.C.
e “Wall that Heals” made its debut in 1996. It stands 375 feet long and 7.5 feet high. In its 27 years of touring, the wall has been on display in more than 700 U.S. communities, according to vvmf.org.
Like many veterans who were visiting the wall, Dykhouse had a list of people to nd and visit on the wall. He was looking for his roommate from ight school, a high school classmate, a neighbor, and some men from his company that were killed in Vietnam.
“These guys were good young men. ey died doing what their country asked them to do,” said Dykhouse while he
searched the wall.
Volunteers and a resource center at the wall in Madonna were crucial for those nding names on the wall. Photos and
e Vietnam War is most commonly and brie y described as a con ict in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia with the purpose of preventing the spread of communism. But the war and its purpose were strongly debated within the U.S.
“ e American government screwed it up,” said Dykhouse, who went on to tell us what he wished people knew about the Vietnam War. “ ey never went in there with a plan to win. ey went in there with a plan to try to neutralize the North and hopefully give the South enough time to grow up and take care of themselves, but that’s not the way to win a war.”
and then one of his sons served as an Airborne Ranger.
“We have kept America free for four generations,” said Dykhouse, who added that made him feel proud of their services.
Boyd was impressed at the community’s support of the wall coming back to San Luis Obispo County.
The SLO County Veterans Resource Center connects veterans to their accredited bene ts. Last year, Boyd’s o ce was able to bring in $9.668 million to local veterans and are responsible for over 800 million annually — all with a nine-person team.
unanimously by City Council.
Also discussed and approved by council Tuesday night was this summer’s Fourth of July Community Fireworks Celebration at Barney Schwartz Park. After returning last year for the rst time in time in 10 years, the celebration was successful and is being brought back bigger and better this year.
Plans for this year’s celebration include two festival-style concerts, and more family activities all free to the public. e 20-minute rework show will return and the city plans to add a military yover for the
event. Ravine Water Park owner Brett Butter eld has o ered free parking use of his parking space across from the park on Union Road.
It is anticipated that Travel Paso will be contributing $50,000 to the event. e city anticipates to pay $65,000 from general funds to pay for the event but still expect sponsors to join in, as they did last year, to result in about $5,000 to the event.
The estimated total event cost including labor, materials, and equipment is $151,000. Carryover funds from the 2022 event total $35,567 and Travel Paso is anticipated to contribute $50,000 to the event.

All of the funds the city provides ECHO go directly towards supporting sta ng at the Paso Robles Campus, however, it only covers 25 percent of the nonpro t’s sta costs at the Paso Robles location. e second quarterly report covers ECHO’s data from December 2022 through February 2023.

homelessness. After returning home to the Central Coast, Kyle came to the ECHO Campus in Paso Robles. After hard work, Kyle has found housing with the help of ECHO. The second success story was Yocelin who came to ECHO in September 2022. Yocelin was a single mother of two children under 1 year old. She entered the 90-day program and found employment and saved enough money to nd a safe room to rent with her two daughters.

such as boating, camping, shing, and mountain biking.
SLO County Public Works has been monitoring the spillway, which will direct overflowing water into Arroyo Grande Creek, to ensure it remains in good condition through regular maintenance and inspections.
When the reservoir spills, the Public Works Department will closely monitor stream gauges and perform on-site monitoring to watch for potential ooding along the creek area.
Oceano, located near the Arroyo Grande Creek Levee, has already been at risk of ooding during this winter’s extreme storms. Officials issued evacuation warnings and, in some cases, orders as water levels rose in the area. If an evacuation is necessary due to an extreme in ux of water in the creek during the next storm, the county is prepared to issue orders immediately.
Lopez Lake would be the third local reservoir to reach capacity this winter.
Earlier this week, Whale Rock Reservoir near Cayucos spilled for the rst time in 18 years. e last time
Whale Rock was close to capacity was in May 2019, when it reached 90 percent. However, by the afternoon of March 11, the reservoir reached 111 percent capacity.
Santa Margarita Lake has also been over owing into the Salinas River since Jan. 9. As of Friday, it was at 105 percent of capacity. ese reservoirs reaching capacity highlight the substantial impact of this winter’s storms on the region.
As the storm system continues, county o cials and emergency services remain vigilant to address any potential ooding and ensure public safety. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about weather conditions and follow any guidance or evacuation orders issued by local authorities. e combined e orts of the county, Public Works, and emergency services aim to minimize the risks associated with the overflowing reservoirs and protect the communities living in these areas.
Enney has led against the district and the rst complaint led against PRPE. His rst complaint was dismissed by the FPPC earlier this month. at rst complaint led was against San Luis Obispo County O ce of Education (SLOCOE), the PRJUSD, SLO County Superintendent of Education James Brescia, Superintendent of PRJUSD Curt Dubost, and community member Carey Alvord-Schof, for violations of the State Political Reform Act.
Paso Robles Press received a press release from Enney that alleges Boddington, along with the “PRPE and PRJUSD, illegally expended public taxpayer funds for political purposes, violating California Government Code 8314, California Education Code 7054, and PRJUSD Policy 1160, all of which concern the use of taxpayer funds in political campaigns.”
California Government Code 8314 states, “It is unlawful for any elected state or local o cer, including any state or local appointee, employee, or consultant, to use or permit others to use public resources for a campaign activity, or personal or other purposes which are not authorized by law.”
Ed Code 7054 (a) speci es that this equally applies to the use of public resources for the “purpose of urging the support or defeat of any ballot measure or candidate, including, but not limited to, any candidate for election to the governing board of the district.”
A special election for the district was initiated after a petition was successful in terminating provisionally appointed trustee Enney, who was sworn in on Oct. 11, 2022. He was appointed to ll the seat left behind by Chris Bausch, who left the PRJUSD to ll a seat on the Paso Robles City Council. Enney and candidate Angela Hollander are now vying for the open seat on the district’s board.
e special election is scheduled for Tuesday, April 18, and was estimated to cost PRJUSD $453,000. However, as of Tuesday, March 21, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors approved an adjustment to that amount. SLO County Clerk Recorder Elaina Cano requested to authorize increasing the budget by $150,000 for costs associated with the PRJUSD Special Election.
Cano told Paso Robles Press, “ e amount of the budget adjustment request does not necessarily correlate to the actual cost of the election. It’s also important to note that these funds are only allocated for services and supplies. ey do not add any additional funds for sta salaries or temporary help.”
In documents provided by Enney, he includes an email sent by Boddington on Feb. 27 to a group of other district emails. Enney’s copy of the email comes from current district trustee Dorian Baker, who is also listed as a witness on the complaint.
Enney’s validation for his complaint states in his press release, “ e email reminded
Paso Robles Press
union members that they are to support PRPE endorsed and funded candidate, Angela Hollander. e email furthermore, provided a link to Hollander’s webpage and contribution page and instructed union members on how to obtain campaign materials. ese actions were in clear violation of district policy and California state law.”
In response to the complaint filed, Boddington told Paso Robles Press, “ ... e message was sent from my home, outside of contract hours and no public funds were expended. As a newly elected President I sincerely believed I was operating within the law and the provisions of our Collective Bargaining Agreement.”
Boddington’s full statement is available on Pasoroblespress.com
Dubost told Paso Robles Press, “The second complaint focuses solely on a district email sent by the union after hours which included in it a political endorsement. It was caught immediately and addressed by [the] administration.”
Vote by Mail (VBM) ballots for the PRJUSD Special Election have been mailed out to residents.
According to the Clerk Recorder’s o ce, approximately 31,000 VBM ballots were mailed out. Subsequent mailings of VBM ballots will begin next week for newly registered voters in the district or voters that have updated their voter registration information after the initial mailing.

Atascadero Community Band donates to PRHS Band Backers After March Performance
Band was able to donate $754 to support band and color guard programs at PRHS
ATASCADERO — The Atascadero Community Band recently held its March concert, celebrating “ e Great Outdoors” through music. anks to the generous donations of the audience, the band was able to donate $754 to the Paso Robles High School (PRHS) Band Backers, in support of the band and color guard programs at PRHS.
An audience member sent the following review of the concert:
Atascadero Community Band navigates “ e Great Outdoors” with skill and grace.
What a wonderful concert. Starting with an excellent venue, the ABC church is visually calming, but at the same time, an acoustic tornado at the whim of the conductor. e band looked quite dapper in dress black as well. And then the music started.
e unity of the band (always including the conductor) appeared top-notch to my untrained ear. Personally, songs went from nice (only a few) to somewhere between Wow. and Hurray. Unknown (to me) exceptional surprises included: “Sedona” — a sweet, warm harmony of undulating sound, “Appalachian Air” — a melodic journey, and the pinnacle, “Excerpts from Fingal’s Cave” — a subtle bassy- uty marriage. Honorable mentions go to the fantastic renditions of “Moon River,” “Bonanza,” and “Rawhide.” Finishing up, the band used every bit of acoustic resonance in the
church to boldly belt out “America, the Beautiful” with the kind of conviction it deserves.
Congratulations and thank you to the band for a great concert.
e Atascadero Community Band plays free indoor concerts several times per year, with donations supporting other local nonpro t organizations. e next concert, themed “Have Music, Will Travel,” is Sunday, May 7, at 3 p.m. at the Atascadero Bible Church. e bene
ciary will be CASA SLO (Court Appointed Special Advocates).
e ACB also plays free one-hour concerts every Tuesday night throughout the summer at the beautiful
Centennial Bandstand at the Atascadero Lake Park. is concert series begins Tuesday, June 13, at 7 p.m.
e ACB is a true community band. Local musicians of all ages are welcome to participate. Students are mentored by more experienced band members, and many of our musicians join after taking a 20-year hiatus to raise families or focus on career. For more information, visit the band website at atascaderoband.org or email the band at atascaderoband@gmail.com.

Linda Trapp to Display in Library in April
In April, Art in the Library will feature the creative expression of artist Linda Abbott Trapp, who has painted the boundary between art and psychology for the past two decades.
“I draw on my experiences as a counselor in the United States and Mexico, and my time as a faculty member and dean of students at the California School of Professional Psychology in Fresno,” states Trapp. Having worked in both clay and ber, and then wood assemblage, Trapp has settled on watercolor — challenging, delightful, frustrating, and lovely. Her exhibit will have abstract watercolor paintings and giclees.

PROBATE requests that CAROLYN LOESER be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

04/04/2023 at 9:01AM in Dept 4 located at 1050 MONTEREY ST., SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA 93408
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. f 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.
A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-730-2727 or visit this internet website www.ndscorp. com sales, using the file number assigned to this case 22-30797-JP-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be re ected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE
you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.
If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
*Pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code, the potential rights described herein shall apply only to public auctions taking place on or after January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2025, unless later extended.

threw the chicken special in front of a quiche-eating trucker.
“I couldn’t agree more, I said. “But what can we do?”
lee pitts COLUMNIST
The answer to our problems in the beef business was revealed to me by a truck-stop waitress in Ontario, Oregon, who turned the tables and gave me a big tip.
As she poured a cup of co ee to the guy next to me at the counter, I poured over the menu. “What’s your best dish?” I asked.
“She’s not working today.”
“Ha, ha. Good one,” I said.
“As the owner of the place,” she said, “I’d say most everything is good but do not order the chicken.”
It turned out she couldn’t stand chicken any more than I could. “As a rancher, I’m curious as to why you hate chicken so much?”
“It’s because of my nickname,” she said. “In these parts I’m known as Plymouth Rock.”
“Why on earth would anyone call you that?”
“Just in case you haven’t
On the contrary, I found Ms. Rock to be highly intelligent, bordering on intellectual. As fellow chicken haters, we had a lot to talk about. It’s not every day I nd someone who hates chicken as much as I do.
“All your problems in the cow business,” said Plymouth, “are because of this cholesterol thing.”
“I know it scared some people away from red meat.”
“No, no, that’s not the problem at all. It’s because people have stopped eating eggs. I’ll spell it out for you.,” she said. “In my line of work I wait on breakfast customers every day and I nd that not nearly as many folks order eggs as much as they used to. When they stopped eating eggs all those eggs hatched and we had a chicken population explosion to eat our way out of. ey don’t even have enough hens to sit on all the eggs. ey raise ‘em all in incubators now.”
“How do you know that,” I asked.
“Do you really think any chicken with a mother could be this tough?” she asked as she
“We either have to start eating more eggs or get some kind of birth control for roosters. If we don’t, there will be a chicken in every pot in America.”
ere was nothing hen-pecked or soft-boiled about Ms. Rock.
“Friend,” she continued, “I know which came rst ... the egg came before the chicken, and the only way to keep these suckers from crowing is to eat them before they’re born. ere’s no pulling on a pullet’s wishbone if you eat it while it’s still just an egg.”
I left Ms. Rock a big tip and hit the highway. As I drove along, I thought about what Plymouth had said. I never admitted this before in print, but the only time I ever got in any trouble as a kid it was for throwing one egg at the freshman girls when I was a senior in high school. rowing eggs was practically required for graduation back then, but I was the rst to score a direct hit on the daughter of the school’s vice president in charge of vengeance. He kicked me out of school for three days, and my old man gave
me a shellacking when I got home. (It was the only known time when a student got kicked out of school for such a trivial misdemeanor.)
My mother always tried to cover up the incident fearing it would ruin my chance of becoming president one day. I realize now that I was only doing what had to be done, destroying future chickens. And if a girl’s dress had to be soiled in the process, well then, so be it.
But until the day I met Plymouth Rock I had a bad taste in my mouth for eggs. I hated eggs. But now I realize she was not lying (or is it laying?) If we would all just eat more eggs there wouldn’t be as many chickens for people to eat. I’ve even started to gag down the rare egg if it’s disguised in a batch of my wife’s brownies.
So the next time a server asks you how you want your chicken, just reply ... “Scrambled and then thrown over-easy out the back door.”

I’m a list maker. Whether it be on a post-it or on my phone, I need to refer to my list multiple times a day or something is going to fall between the cracks. I have to keep it in front of me. My mind is just too full of trying to remember so many things. I think as humans we are just prone to forget. In His divine wisdom, God knew that no matter what age or era, we would be pulled in so many directions. Our minds are
ooded these days with the schedules of multiple people in our family, work schedules, deadlines, activities, appointments, diet restrictions, media’s propaganda, political issues, nancial concerns, relationship problems, etc. We get distracted with apps, social media, gossip, anxiety, and too many streaming services to count! No wonder God has to constantly tell us in scripture to not forget and to remember His Word! When God repeats Himself, pay attention. Repetition implies importance. The word “remember” is found in scripture literally hundreds of times. God tell us to:
Remember He brought us out of slavery. Remember He leads us
through the wilderness.
Remember Him in everything.
Remember the words of Jesus.
Remember Jesus’ sacrifice.
Remember those in chains.
Remember the olden days.
Remember the Sabbath.
Remember all His benefits.
Remember His Name.
Remember the Lord’s deeds.
To name only a few. But why does He command us to remember and not forget ?
1. Memories can help us to see and remember God at work. It helps us to navigate this crazy life and life’s decisions when we can refer back to a time when God showed Himself faithful. Whether that is in His
word or in our own life and experiences.
2. He remembers us. He doesn’t forget the promises He makes to us. In Isaiah He tells us that we are engraved on the palm of His hands. Let’s give God the same respect back by not forgetting about Him.
Take time today to remember what God has done for you. Have you forgotten His words? Have you forgotten His laws that He put in place for your bene t?
Remembering is the least we can do.

Atascadero Middle School Robotics Team Competes in VEX IQ State Finals Tournament in La Verne
The team won the spot at the VEX IQ Robotics tournament in La Verne, in February
By CHRISTIANNA MARKS
ATASCADERO — e Atascadero Middle School Robotics Team competed in two recent state-wide robotics tournaments. On Saturday, Feb. 18, two of the middle school’s teams attended the VEX IQ Robotics tournament in La Verne, California. Out of those two teams, one of them won a spot in the VEX IQ State Finals, which took place on Saturday, March 11, in Chatsworth, near Los Angeles. is year, the robotics class consists of 29 students and 14 robots.
Prior to this year, under the direction of the middle school’s robotics teacher/mentor Anthoney Hopper, the team had only competed in local tournaments. However, last year, Hopper’s students asked him if he would make them a more competitive team with the goal of competing at a higher level. Hopper met his students’ request and then provided his team with a free robotics class over the summer to prepare them for the 2022-23 school year.
“My teams, they kind of worked ahead of schedule that way,” Hopper said. “Come season, I made a more competitive team. If you didn’t want to be a competitive team, you didn’t have to be. If you just wanted to build to build and compete locally, that was ne.”
Two of the teams competed in the VEX IQ Robotics tournament in La Verne on Feb. 18: Team 93422A was Gavin Brown and Anthony Velazquez-Weems as designers, builders, and drivers with programmer Brooke Baldwin; and Team 93422G was Ben Barraza and Dane Mallory as designers, builders, and drivers with programmer Kiera Reardon.
e two teams competed on a 6-foot by 8-foot playing eld, and the theme was Slap Shot, where the team needed to have their robot get plastic hockey pucks down from obstacles. VEX IQ robots are made of plastic and use plastic pieces and snap connectors to build them into whatever the students need.
“ ere’s a lot of limits, you can only make your robot 11 inches wide by 15 inches tall by 19 inches long, so you have to be within all these limits,” Hopper explained. “So it is pretty neat. ey really make it challenging, and it keeps the kids thinking.”
Two days later, on Monday, Feb. 20, Hopper was noti ed that team 93422G would be going to State. Hopper passed the good news onto the whole team via their team chat since it was President’s Day and school was not in session.
“ ey lost it. ey went crazy,” he said. “I can honestly say that I can share their excitement because this is, for me, my seventh year doing this.”
e atmospheric river and resulting storms over the weekend of March 11 almost got in the way of the team competing at State, but at the last minute, when the rain let up, the students, their parents, and Hopper rallied and made it to the competition in time.
“ ey pulled together, and that evening they said, ‘Mr. Hopper,’ we want to do it. Which means we have to leave at 3:45 [a.m.],” Hopper
said. “ at decision wasn’t made until sometime Friday evening. So it was a little chaotic and we got it. We pulled through.”
e State team 93422G consisted of Ben, Dane, and Kiera continued their roles on the team, joined by Brooke and apprentice programmer CJ Black. e team nished in the middle of the pack of the 42 registered teams at the State Finals, and Hopper says it was a learning experience for everyone involved.
“Each team got to do eight rounds or eight quali cation matches, and it’s an all-day event. We checked in at 8 a.m., and the event started at 9:30,” Hopper explained. He went on to say that every round at State, you have a different alliance team you’re working with. The teams work together with their robots and even get to practice with
Week of March 23 - 29
them before competing.
“ at rst round was funny because [of] our whole front right drive train, meaning the whole gear setup that holds our two right wheels together, on the right side,” Hopper said. “ e bell rang to start the tournament, we rolled a few inches, and the whole drive train just fell o on the right-hand side, and our robot tipped sideways.”
Hopper also said that he and the rest of the team that will remain for the 2023-24 school year can’t wait to see how their team does next year.
Currently, the Middle School Robotics Team is in the middle of coming up with fundraising ideas for next year’s season, as the school district only pays for two competitions a year. To nd out how you can help, contact Hopper via his phone number, (714) 501-2711.
