TEMPLETON — The Templeton High football field will be a veritable Eagles nest on Friday night, Nov. 28, as the school’s football squad will compete for a CIF Central Section title, facing Immanuel High of Reedley, also known as the
Eagles, at 7 p.m.

20th anniversary celebration honors
By CAMILLE DEVAUL camille@pasoroblespress.com
PASO ROBLES — Paso Robles honored its historic connection to Ignacy Jan Paderewski earlier this month, marking both the world-renowned pianist’s 165th birthday and the 20th anniversary of the modern Paderewski Festival. The four-day celebration brought packed performances, youth showcases, and community gatherings that
organizers said reflected a strong post-pandemic resurgence.
Festival Board President Marjorie Hamon said this year felt especially meaningful.
“I’m honored to be able to be the president of this festival. I have the hardest working board that I’ve ever been involvedon,” she told Paso Robles Press. “I’m honored and I think being the 20th year, it was a very successful year for us. It’s been a tough haul coming back from COVID.”
Festivities opened Thursday afternoon, Nov. 6, at the Paderewski monument in Paso Robles City Park, where the Paso Robles High School

OTS awards grant to Paso Robles Police for traffic safety enforcement
The Paso Robles Police Department has received a $75,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to enhance traffic enforcement and education
efforts aimed at reducing serious injuries and fatalities on local roadways. The grant will fund programs through September 2026.
Deputy Chief Caleb Davis said the funding will bolster the department’s ability to address dangerous driving behaviors through a combination of education and enforcement.

Additional efforts will focus on speeding, failure to yield, red-light running, and unsafe lane changes.
Community outreach will also play a role, with presentations planned on impaired and distracted driving, speeding, and bicycle and pedestrian safety. Funding will additionally provide officer training and recertification in DUI and

City Hall remodel prompts immediate changes to public access routes
The city of Paso Robles announced that new public access routes to City Hall and the library take effect immediately as construction continues on the City Hall renovation project. The changes are designed to maintain public access to services while keeping visitors safely separated from active construction areas.
Under the new layout, access to the Paso Robles Library and public restrooms is now available through the double doors facing 11th Street. Visitors needing City services will use the temporary public service counter, accessible through the double doors from the 10th Street parking lot. Through-access between the City Hall and library lobbies is suspended for the duration of construction.
Beginning Friday, Nov. 21, portions of the City Hall parking lot will also close to accommodate construction activity. The city has released a site plan to help direct visitors to the appropriate entrances.
Officials say the temporary pathways will ensure services remain fully operational while minimizing interactions between the public and construction crews. All phone numbers and email contacts for city departments remain the same.

At the stroke of 6, Mrs. Claus will flip the giant switch, illuminating trees, shop windows, and buildings across downtown all at once.
This year’s Holiday Songbook includes a Black Out Bingo page, which participants can complete by visiting participating merchants through Dec. 7. A drawing on Sunday, Dec. 7, will award three cash shopping sprees redeemable through Dec. 24.

North County Nutcracker returns to Spanos Theatre for 29th Year
The North County Dance & Performing Arts Foundation (NCDPAF) will bring a cherished holiday tradition back to the stage as it presents its 29th annual ‘Nutcracker: A Storybook Ballet’ at Cal Poly’s Spanos Theatre the first weekend of December. Performances are scheduled for Friday, Dec. 5, at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. 6, at 5 p.m.; and Sunday, Dec. 7, at 2 p.m.
This year’s production carries special significance with the return of Founder and Artistic Director Cheryle Armstrong, who has stepped out of retirement to guide more than 70 dancers from across San Luis Obispo County. Many performers are second-generation cast members, continuing a legacy that has shaped families and the local arts community for nearly three decades.
“The Nutcracker has always been a place where dancers discover themselves, where families build memories, and where the arts thrive,” said Armstrong. “To return after retirement from Class Act Dance and witness new and familiar faces step into these roles has been incredibly inspiring.”
Featuring custom costumes, original choreography, and Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, the production highlights NCDPAF’s commitment to accessible, community-centered performing arts. Guest artists will also take part, bringing added professional depth to the timeless ballet.
Proceeds from the performances support NCDPAF’s mission to provide arts education, scholarships, and outreach programs for youth throughout North County.
Tickets are available now at pacslo.evenue.net

Atascadero Cemetery announces updated flower policy and gravesite clean-up
The Atascadero Cemetery District has updated its flower policy and will begin a scheduled gravesite clean-up on Monday, Jan. 6, 2026. Signs will be posted at the cemetery, and the district is notifying the community so families are aware of the process.
The policy update and clean-up are necessary due to the excessive number of items being left on and around many gravesites. Families are encouraged to remove items and arrange flowers in accordance with the current policy before the clean-up date.
Key points of the updated Flower Policy include:
• Only flowers may be placed at gravesites in cemeteryprovided vases. Small American and/or military flags are allowed only near Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day.
Flowers (fresh, plastic, or silk) must go in installed vases on headstones; if no vase exists, flowers may be placeddirectly on the headstone. New burials (up to six months) may have flowers placed directly on the grave in the headstone area. Funeral floral pieces may remain temporarily after new burials but must be removed from vases. Funeral plants are not allowed.
• All items on or around headstones that do not conform to policy will be removed. Large or valuable items will be set aside for family pick-up, while small or inexpensive items may be discarded. Cemetery staff and volunteers are not responsible for any loss or breakage.
The district emphasizes that adherence to this policy ensures the cemetery remains safe, clean, and peaceful for visitors, while protecting cemetery staff, animals, and equipment.
Atascadero Police Department receives OTS grant to boost traffic safety
The Atascadero Police Department has been awarded a $65,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to support ongoing enforcement and education programs aimed at reducing serious injuries and fatalities on local roads. The grant program runs through September 2026.
The funding will support a variety of initiatives, including DUI checkpoints, high-visibility distracted driving patrols, and enforcement targeting violations that endanger bicyclists and pedestrians. Officers will also focus on speeding, failure to yield, red-light running, and improper lane changes.
Additional programs include community presentations on traffic safety, collaborative
operations with neighboring agencies, and officer training or recertification in SFST, ARIDE, and DRE protocols.
The program is funded through the California Office of Traffic Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

TJhis is a story about a 37 year old love affair. Two people who met one night, took a walk on the beach, and never left each other’s side thereafter.
Each had previous marriages. Each had experienced full careers, families, and friends prior to meeting. They walked into the same place at the same time. Open to whatever life would send them.
She sat in the lounge after a long day at work, and he walked through the door after his equally long day. He approached her and asked her if she was

James was born in Ojai, California, on December 21, 1933, to Mary and Joseph Marengo. He was raised in Long Beach, CA, and at 17, he enlisted in the United States Army, where he served as a Paratrooper with the 11th Airborne Division at the tail end of the Korean War. He was a proud Army Veteran. After his honorable discharge, he worked for Mobil Oil and then began a career as a firefighter with the Fullerton Fire Department. In 1966, James accepted a job with the Atascadero
single… Timing.
They began their journey together. He was an executive with P.G.&E., close to retirement after a lifelong commitment to the company. She was an artist, a mother, and a creative soul. Together, they bought a shop called Posies in San Luis Obispo and eventually opened a wonderful store in the Village of Arroyo Grande named Old World Charm. She showed him a world where he could be creative, passionate, and expressive. He showed her a world where she would be safe, supported, and free to create whatever her heart desired.
Every day, they made an effort to express their love for each other. Anyone who ever went into their store saw it. And at home, there was nightly candlelight, her gourmet dinners, and classical music as they dreamed about exploring Europe together. Which they finally did.

Years later, she was able to prove her love for him as well. Fred was a Vietnam veteran and had developed cancer & Parkinson’s. For the last 15 years, Georgianna’s been his devoted caregiver. She set everything aside and committed her time to every need he had. The gratitude between them was immense. Through tears and triumphs, there wasn’t a day that went by that they didn’t thank each other for their love.

Dr. Kissel, my new dear friend, informed me she had Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, and she had a 50% chance of a recurrence.

On October 24th of this year, our beloved Papa Fred passed. In his home, in the same room where his love dove slept in a neighboring bed. The blessing was that neither knew of the other’s situation. So through this process, neither had an awareness of the other’s suffering. There was only love in that room.
Fred’s wife, my beloved mother, passed away on November 2 of this year. Nine days after Papa. In her quiet home, in her room filled with all of her artistic beautiful things. Her garden right out her window, and all of the souls who passed before her, surrounding her to take her on her journey. She passed at 3 am, and I heard a voice sing

Needless to say, my parents were my soulmates, my world, and my example of what love truly means.

TO POTENTIAL
BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding 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 outstand-
ing 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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-25-1020345-SH. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant
buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 619645-7711, or visit this internet website http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-25-1020345-SH to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, 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. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNER-OCCUPANT: Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee’s sale

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.
