Zoning

By CAMILLE DEVAUL camille@pasoroblespress.com

PASO ROBLES — At the Tuesday, Oct. 4, meeting, City Council held its first reading of an amendment to zoning codes that would allow commercial cannabis delivery services.

The zoning code currently allows medical marijuana deliv ery services, and the amend ments would expand that to include adult-use cannabis delivery services within city

limits. This hearing does not include a discussion on the cannabis governance frame work, retail, or cannabis stores.

The changes would allow three existing medical mari juana delivery services to also deliver commercial cannabis. There are currently two medi cal delivery services in Paso Robles, and a third is under construction. Additionally, city staff added a restriction for deliveries to be made between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.

After discussion amongst councilmembers, Steve Greg ory made the following motion:

“Introduce for first reading by title only, Ordinance XXXX, to repeal and replace Chapter 21.33 of the Zoning Code to allow commercial cannabis delivery services in the RSC and C-3 zoning districts and to make other clarifying amend ments.”

PASO ROBLES — A new trustee has been appointed to the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District to fill the vacant seat left by Chris Bausch. Retired Marine Kenneth

Enney has been appointed to fill the seat and will be offi cially sworn in at the Oct. 11 meeting.

PRJUSD held a special meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 4, to appoint the new trustee. Bausch left the school board in August after being appointed to serve on City Council to fill Maria Garcia’s vacated seat.

During their introduction, Enney told the trustees he is a retired Marine, having served

for 25 years and was an intel ligence officer for the major ity of those years. He has lived in the district for 10 years and described himself as a “wannabe rancher.” Additionally, he taught American history and national security affairs parttime at Allan Hancock College.

“My interest in education in America stems from my concern that we are not doing enough to help the next generation,”

Each candidate provided a two-minute opening statement before answering the questions asked by moderator Ed Cabera.

Candidates running for PRJUSD trustee seats in the 2022 November election are: District 1

Jim Cogan Chris Arend

• Peter Byrne District 2

• Joel Peterson District 4

• Laurene D. McCoy Jim Irving

Irving and Reimer were unable to be present. Peterson, while uncontested, was pres ent at the forum but did not participate.

Current PRJUSD Board President Chris Arend opened the forum with his opening statement.

“I decided to run, was elected and since that time I’ve accom plished I think quite a lot in this school district, having authored our resolution condeming racism; having authored our resolution banning critical race theory.” he said. “We did not seek out these issues, they sought us out. This country is in a very divided condition at the moment as we know and it is in the case of the school districts we cannot avoid these conflicts.”

Peter Byrne recalled his background with a degree in political science followed by his return to a trade school for marine biology which brought him to work in several coun tries around the world. He returned with his family to Paso Robles to raise his two children.

Jim Cogan’s shared reasons for running, “I’m running for school board because I love this district. I feel like this district in this community has given my family so much. my boys have been incredibly success ful here ... my experience of 20 years serving in public office and all of the work that I have done has definitely prepared me to be the best candidate to serve our students and to put them first.”

Frank Triggs is currently a school board trustee. He was appointed in December 2021 to fill a seat left vacant by Jim Reed.

Templeton Performing Arts Celebrates 20 Years

Templeton Middle School Band Winter Concert, and then the very next night was the Templeton High School Band and Choir Winter Concert," remembered Landers, who directed both concerts.

By CHRISTIANNA MARKS

TEMPLETON — 2022 marks the Templeton Performing Arts Center's (TPAC) 20th year in the North County.

In the last 20 years, the performance space has housed endless musicals, concerts, and dance performances and has been an educational space for students at Templeton High School to learn the ropes of the world of theater.

"The outer shell of the building was completed in 2002 so that you could go in there and see concerts and stuff, but there were no seats," said Vicki van den Eikhof, president of The Templeton Performing Arts Center Foundation.

"The lighting and sound systems weren't completed. There was a committee that continued to raise money to be able to get seats installed and get lights and stuff like that."

The foundation is a nonprofit that started in 2018 to support the TPAC and to celebrate the building's 20-year milestone; they are running a campaign

to update the lighting in the theater.

Most of the lighting in the TPAC was donated by the Paso Robles Unified School District in 2003 after substan tial damage to the Flamson Auditorium during the 2003 San Simeon Earth quake.

"We have that as a main goal, to get that tech updated to the point where it's useful for training up incoming generations of theater folk," van den Eikhof added. "Right up until this last spring, the light board ran on an

actual floppy disk."

So far, the TPAC Foundation has been able to get a new light board, two new monitors in the tech booth, and new wiring and cables. Now, all they need is the lights, but everything is ready for them.

Since its creation, the TPAC has, first and foremost, been an educational facility, making it very different from the other performing arts centers in the county.

"When the PAC was created, it was

designed with Templeton students as its primary beneficiaries," said Temple ton Band Director David Landers. "It's basically just a big classroom with some benefit to the community."

The performing arts center, located on the Templeton High School campus, is managed by Drama Director Catherine Kingsbury and is fully supported and run by the Templeton School District. Hence, the students and their educa tion within the TPAC's walls come first.

"The very first concert was the

He also stated that the first play performed in the TPAC was "The Music Man," and he has fond memo ries of conducting the pit orchestra for the production. Back when the facility was bare-bones, the audience brought blankets and sat on the concrete ledges that held actual seating a couple of years later.

"It's always fun for me whenever I take people in there who have not been in there before, whether students or adults, and they walk in at the upper level, and it's very different when you walk in than what you're expecting because of that stadium seating. It's always fun to see people's first reaction to the room when they walk in," added Landers.

The whole of 2022 will be spent cele brating the TPAC's 20th Anniversary, with plenty of celebratory things to come.

Veterans of Foreign Wars Oktoberfest Car Show Sells Out

The event celebrated automobiles as well as German culture

By CHRISTIANNA MARKS

ATASCADERO — Car lovers and owners of classic cars joined together in the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) parking lot for their Oktoberfest-themed car show. The car show was free and opened to the public at 9 a.m. and went until 3 p.m., with an Oktoberfest bratwurst lunch from noon until 2 p.m.

“The car show sold out. And from the weather to turn out could not have been better,” stated Jr. Vice-Commander of VFW John Brush.

On top of all the fun and classic cars on display, one could eat bratwurst, sauerkraut, and German potato salad, all made by VFW to their heart’s content.

“All the cooks that cooked the bratwurst and

all that, they’re doing that all-volunteer,” added Brush.

The Oktoberfest-themed car show also hosted a beer stein-holding contest with beer steins donated by Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co.

“The cars are, a lot of them, most of them are from the local area. A couple of big things [for this show] are the trophies are custom-made trophies by APS Automotive in Atascadero,” said Brush of the donated trophies. “There’s 10 trophies. Half the trophies were actually ‘first choice’ awards by sponsors.”

This round, the first choice sponsors were Georgina Garcia May Photography, APS Auto motive, Central Coast Mercury Club, Central Coast MOPARS, and Jiffy Lube of Atascadero. Trophies were also handed out for Grand Cham pion, Grand Marshal’s Award, Mechanics Choice, Officers Award, and People’s Choice Award.

“Most of them [the cars] are classic cars. It’s an open show, meaning there’s no classifications,” said Brush. “We did have four newer cars; they are the [Dodge] Challengers by the MOPAR Club [of Paso Robles]."

Though the VFW car show was small, with around 25 cars participating and a handful of collector motorcycles, it was also mighty, with lots of fun vehicles for everyone attending to check out, including Rob May’s 1967 Mercury Cougar. May was a noted attendee who is a part of the Central California Mercury Club and a contributing editor from Motorhead Magazine.

“The interest in car shows in this town is huge. Absolutely huge,” stated Brush.

You could also purchase VFW car show shirts with original artwork at the intimate car show. The shirts and bratwurst lunch sold out, and the proceeds from registration fees and donations will go back into the community.

Atascadero and Paso Robles Begin Joint North County Broadband Planning Effort

The 'fourth utility' is one step closer to being a reality in North County

NORTH COUNTY — The cities of Atascadero and Paso Robles have engaged in a collaborative effort to develop a North County Broadband Strategic Plan Project aimed at improv ing internet access to businesses and residents in both communities. Following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on May 11, the cities released a joint Request for Qualifica tions in July and in August and selected TeleworX, LLC to develop the Strategic Plan. TeleworX, LLC is an international engineer ing and business consultancy based in McLean, Virginia. It has a long history in strategy develop

ment and engineering of broadband networks for municipalities across the U.S.

“We are delighted to collaborate on this broadband initiative. Mayor Heather Moreno of Atascadero and Mayor Steve Martin of Paso Robles and their respective staffs are moving at warp speed to advance the state of connectiv ity in North County,” said John Hartin CEO of TeleworX, LLC. “The level of coordination and commitment to this effort is truly remarkable. It

is an essential ingredient to the success we expect to achieve.”

The project will focus on the development of strategies to accelerate the deployment of broad band infrastructure. Outcomes of the study will include, among others, the identification of under served populations, broadband enabled economic development, network design, operating models and grant funding to establish options for North County’s path forward. This regional agreement will support the alignment of policy development and improve the competitive position for funding opportunities and infrastructure investments. The partnership allows the cities to share costs asso ciated with developing a sub-regional plan, posi tioning the communities for last mile grant dollars flowing from the state and federal governments. The project will align the communities with the State of California’s Broadband for All initiative that target reliable and affordable internet for all Californians.

Some of the potential benefits of this important effort include:

• Access to the internet that supports learning in schools, libraries, and homes

• Improved opportunities for job creation, train ing and retention

• Business attraction, retention and growth

• An improved position in the remote-work revolution for residents and visitors

• Roll-out of telemedicine and other crucial broadband enabled applications

• Establishment of the broadband infrastructure for the Smart City future

Both communities have previously commit ted funding toward the project. With 26 square miles, the City of Atascadero is the largest city in the County in terms of geography. The develop ment of broadband aligns with Atascadero’s Stra tegic Plan and City Council’s focus on Economic Development.

Paso Robles City Council’s goals and strategic priorities include completing a broadband strategic plan and promoting Paso Robles as a destination for the "Remote Economy.” The importance of the partnership is key to building resilient, reliable and redundant broadband connectivity The ability to work together enables the cities to accomplish more for our constituents.

Closing Arguments Conclude in Kristin Smart Murder Trial

Jury now deliberating Paul Flores’ fate

By CAMILLE DEVAUL

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY

—

It has been 26 years since Kristin Smart’s initial disappearance, and on Tuesday, Oct. 4, attorney’s finished closing arguments for Paul Flores in the trial for her murder — and now the jury deliberates on his fate.

Paul Flores is charged for the 1996 murder and disappearance of 19-yearold Cal Poly student Kristin Smart. His father, Ruben Flores, is charged with helping his son cover up the crime. They were both arrested in April 2021.

Opening statements in the trial started on July 18 in the Monterey County Superior Courtroom in Sali nas.

Both the defense and prosecution rested their cases last week, beginning their closing arguments on Monday, Oct. 3. While they concluded their arguments for Paul on Tuesday, they will continue their closing arguments for Ruben on Wednesday.

According to reports from KSBY, on Monday the prosecution told jurors the “truth is, Kristin Smart is dead and the evidence is clear that she was killed by Paul Flores.”

The prosecution continued to lay out

its theory for what happened to Kristin, alleging that Paul killed Kristin some time Saturday morning after the party on Crandall Way and called his father to help him hide her body.

KSBY reports that San Luis Obispo County Deputy District Attorney Chris Peuvrelle told jurors to find Paul guilty of first-degree murder, they have to believe beyond a reasonable doubt that Kristin died while Paul was either raping or attempting to rape her.

He further explained that while they do not have a body, they do have blood, which was found in soil taken from underneath Ruben's deck in Arroyo Grande. Peuvrelle reviewed evidence covered throughout the trial

and replayed videos of Paul in inter views during the early days of the inves tigation.

Present in court on Monday was San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson and District Attorney Dan Dow.

Paul’s defense lawyer, Robert Sanger, countered, saying there is no evidence of murder.

The defense continued its closing arguments on Tuesday where they questioned the credibility of the pros ecution’s witnesses.

According to reports, Sanger addressed the jurors about two witnesses who alleged Paul raped or attempted to rape them. He went on

to tell the jurors Paul was “charged with murder, not rape or attempted rape.”

Additionally, reports say that Sanger declared there was too much public ity in the case and that something happened to Kristin, but no one knows what.

KSBY reports, during the prosecu tion’s rebuttal, Peuvrelle told jurors, “The only at-risk behavior Kristin Smart participated in that night was existing in the same zip code as Paul Flores.”

Once Peuvrelle finished his rebut tal, Paul’s jury was sent to begin their deliberations. Ruben’s jury were then given their instructions. His closing arguments are set to begin

Wednesday, Oct. 5. Monterey County Superior Court Judge Jennifer O’Keefe has previously told the courtroom that once verdicts are reached in both cases, they will be announced at the same time.

While Kristin’s remains have not been found, she was legally declared dead in 2002. The trial was moved to Salinas after San Luis Obispo County Judge Craig van Rooyen ruled the father and son would not receive a fair trial in SLO County. While Paul and Ruben are being tried together, they have separate juries.

Paso Robles Press will be following this story and update as new informa tion becomes available.

Austin Hope Golf Tournament Raises $110,000 for Must! Charities

100 percent of the proceeds from the tournament support a local charity

PASO ROBLES — In the spirit of investing in their community, Hope Family Wines teed off at their annual Austin Hope Golf Tournament, rais ing over $110,000 and shattering past fundraising goals. The best part? Must! Charities, the beneficiary for the golf tournament, will invest 100 percent of the net proceeds into addressing the greatest social needs facing Northern San Luis Obispo County.

Since 2015, the Austin Hope Golf Tournament has raised $375,000

through a collaborative partnership with influencers in the wine industry. The ever-popular and always colorful

tournament brings together interests from across the wine industry for an action-packed day focused on giving

back to the region.

“The Austin Hope Golf Tourna ment represents community spirit with a cause,” says Becky Gray, Exec utive Director of Must! Charities. “We look forward to this annual tradition, which helps support Must! Chari ties as we come alongside to support local organizations who are on the front lines addressing the most criti cal needs in our community.”

The golf tournament, once an annual tradition to kick off Paso Robles Wine Festival Weekend, was canceled for a number of years as interest in it waned. Fast forward to 2015, when Austin Hope revived the tradition and part nered with Must! Charities to bridge fun with a purpose.

“Resurrecting the Wine Fest Golf Tournament was something my father had asked about for years. It reminded him of the old days of early Paso wine country when it was just a few winer ies and farmers around. Bringing back this nostalgic event, albeit on a much grander scale, with many more winer ies and vineyards here today brought back fun pastime emotions,” remarked Austin Hope, President of Hope Family Wines.

“We chose Must! Charities as the beneficiary of the golf tournament because they do their due diligence on surveying who and what needs help in our community and follow through to make sure each dollar is helping the ones in need.”

Board of Supervisors Approves Fund ing to Restore Cayucos Veterans Hall

In a 5-0 vote, San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors unan imously approved accepting fund ing from multiple sources to be used to rehabilitate the Cayucos Veterans Memorial Hall.

With today’s vote, supervisors accepted an additional $4.8 million in grants and donations and approved moving forward with the Cayucos Veterans Hall Rehabilitation project. This funding, together with the previ ously accepted $2.2 million in grants, allows the county to begin rehabilita tion of the project by utilizing a total of $7 million dollars in grants and donations. The project is expected to take 14-18 months to complete with total cost expected to be just over $11 million.

The Cayucos Veterans Hall, formerly the Cass Warehouse, located at the base of the Cayucos Pier, a popular tourist area, was constructed in 1873 by Capt. James Cass. In recent years, the facil ity has been an important community and event center, though it was deemed structurally unsound in 2016 and has sat empty ever since.

Full rehabilitation of the facility and surrounding site will restore a central piece of Cayucos’ history and heartbeat of the community where residents and visitors have gathered for special events for many years.

The various funding sources for the project include state grants, commu nity donations, and bond sale revenue.

“Completion of this project is one

more example of our county’s commit ment to providing projects and services to its residents and is made possible due to partnerships with other leading agencies and the Cayucos community,” said Public Works Deputy Direc tor John Waddell. “Rehabilitating this important historic site will help us preserve a key era in our county’s history for the next generation, not just for Cayucos, but for all of us.”

In a letter from a preservation officer with the California Office of Historic Preservation, the officer wrote that the warehouse is a rare example of its type and that “The Cass Warehouse is the only surviving mid-late 19th century maritime warehouse still associated with its wharf in the state of Califor nia.”

“This has been a long and wind ing road – six years of closure of the Cayucos Vets Hall. The community of Cayucos, once again, has stepped up in remarkable ways,” said District 2 Supervisor Bruce Gibson. “This also wouldn’t have happened with out the diligence of Sen. John Laird and county staff – I thank you for all of your efforts that have gotten us to where we are.”

Over 200 Guns Collected in 'Groceries for Guns'

On Saturday, Oct. 1, the San Luis Obispo Police Department held an inaugural gun buyback program “Groceries for Guns.” Community members were invited to voluntarily turn in unwanted guns in exchange for local grocery store gift cards.

Two hundred two (202) guns were received during the event: 101 rifles/ shotguns, six assault style rifles, and

95 handguns. $11,900 in grocery gifts cards was distributed.

“In speaking with many of those who brought in unwanted weapons, most had mentioned they had been “laying around” and wanted to respon sibly dispose of them,” said Chief Rick Scott. “This was the exact purpose of the program, to give our commu nity members a resource to dispose of unwanted firearms. We know the people that turned these guns in are not the kind of people who would use a weapon to harm another, but they are most likely to not effectively store or take care of these weapons as they need to be to keep them from falling into the hands of someone who will use it in a crime.”

The San Luis Obispo Police Depart ment would like to extend gratitude to everyone who utilized this opportunity to remove unwanted guns from their homes.

SLOPD is able to receive unwanted guns at any time, please contact the Property Office at (805) 781-7360 to make an appointment.

All the artwork in the month’s display was done using a playing card as her brush. “I love the art of telling different stories to different people,” Claywell-O’Neal states.

Trail Ride to Benefit the SLO County 4-H Horse Project

The SLO County 4-H Horse Project invites community members to their Ride the Ranch benefit trail ride

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY

— The San Luis Obispo County 4-H youth development program’s Countywide 4-H Horse Project is organizing a benefit trail ride to be held on Saturday, Oct. 15.

The 4-H Horse Project invites the community to participate in the first annual Ride the Ranch trail ride. All proceeds will go to help pay for shows, clinics, and awards for our SLO County horse project members and will help reduce or eliminate clinic and show fees for the 30+ members of 4-H horse projects in SLO County.

The event will take place at the

Work Family Ranch, located at 75893 Ranchita Canyon Road, San Miguel. The Work Family Ranch lies in the Cholame Hills of San Miguel, just outside of Paso Robles. Since the 1880s, the Work family has owned and operated the 12,000-acre ranch.

Community members can

register at https://forms.gle/ uxNSeq3HaSV23L3m6 or by email to slohorseproject@gmail.com Registration for the trail ride costs $100 per rider and includes a T-shirt and a hot dog lunch. Participants will bring their own horses to ride during the event. The Creston 4-H horse

project is planning a bake sale with lots of sweet goodies for snacks and desserts. There will also be a small silent auction, with offerings donated by various horse projects, local busi nesses, and community friends.

The SLO 4-H County Horse Project holds three horse shows and three riding clinics each year that are open to all the 4-H horse project members in San Luis Obispo County. Each clinic and horse show focuses on a differ ent riding discipline: Western, English, and Gymkhana. The 4-H members have lots of opportunities to improve their horsemanship skills and decide which type of riding they enjoy most. Riders go on to compete in the local fair 4-H horse shows during the Salinas Valley Fair, the Santa Barbara County Fair, and the Mid State Fair. The culmination of each 4-H year is the California State Classic 4-H Horse Show.

It will surprise almost no one to learn that San Francisco is the most densely populated city in California. With 18,790 persons per square mile, it is almost three times as dense as Los Angeles and no other California city comes close.

So dense is San Francisco that for several square miles in its Mt. Davidson, Rich mond and Sunset districts, single family houses are built cheek by jowl on narrow

‘When Ultra-Dense Isn't Dense Enough’

lots, often sharing walls on two sides with neighboring homes.

It’s also no surprise that San Francisco is the second most dense city in all of America, trailing only New York.

None of that matters much to the ultra-density fanat ics now running Califor nia state government. With a full green light from Gov. Gavin Newsom (ironically, a former San Francisco mayor), the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) this fall will make San Francisco the object of its first “housing and policy practice review.”

If even the density of San Francisco cannot satisfy Newsom and the fanatical foes of single family zoning who now control the Legis lature, imagine how difficult

it will be for any other city to mollify them.

The biggest difficulty with San Francisco, if you listen to state officials, is the slow pace of housing construc tion there. Said HCD direc tor Gustavo Velasquez in a formal statement, “We are deeply concerned about the processes and political deci sion-making in San Francisco that impede the creation of housing and want to under stand why this is the case.”

If he really wondered, he could ask his boss, as most current permitting practices in that city were already in place when Newsom was mayor.

But if you’re really look ing for density, how about checking the minds of Newsom and others who are ramrodding this review. They are apparently missing

some key points: Dense as it is, San Francisco is a bit less dense today than it was a few years ago: the city lost 6.3 percent of its populace, or slightly over 57,000 persons, in 2020 and 2021. This was largely because of changes in white collar working condi tions caused by the COVID19 pandemic, which allowed employees to work from home and not report daily to offices.

Most of the 57,000 in that exodus, the highest percent age population loss in any American city in this century, moved to less dense areas in the suburbs, with a few migrating to other states to carry on their telecommuting.

Many said they moved to get away from San Francisco’s density, the very character istic Newsom and his allies aspire to impose on every

California locale.

Trying to push even more housing on San Francisco, which now may have an excess due to its population loss, represents a different kind of density on the part of Newsom & Co. They demonstrate they have no real understanding of what’s happening in that city or others they are trying to reshape.

At the same time, their entire effort at denser hous ing is the result of HCD esti mates that California has a housing shortage justifying creation of 1.8 million new units by 2030, and hang the expense (which can amount to more than $1 million in construction and permitting costs per “affordable” unit).

Trouble is, that figure (just over half what Newsom said in 2018 would be required

Mr. Pennon is relatively unknown as he is new to our community, moving here with his husband, Michael Pennon, in the fall of 2020. The couple comes from Santa Barbara County, most recently living in Los Alamos.

now a “DEI Policy Consul tant and Advisor, DEI program manager, speaker and trainer on DEI Policy Narrative and development.” DEI stands for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Before you vote, Atascadero parents, meet your newly appointed AUSD Board Member Mr. Matthew Snyder Pennon. Mr. Pennon was appointed on Sept. 28 by a vote of 4-2. There were eight candidates seeking the seat of former Trustee Mary Kay Mills. Trustee Shoe maker nominated Mr. Pennon early in the meeting even though Mr. Chris Collins had received four “most likely” votes from the Trustees.

An attendee said, “The whole process was over in less

Matthew Snyder worked in pet shops from adolescence until 2015, when he closed his Buellton location, Valley Pets, opened in 2010, due to difficulties with the public. * (see article below)

After marrying Michael Pennon, Matthew Pennon became active in foster care in Santa Barbara County while attending Oregon State E University online.

He received a BA in psychol ogy in 2019 and continued at Oregon State E University to receive a Masters in Public Policy in January 2022.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Matthew Pennon is

He states, “I have advanced equity and inclusivity within the Child Welfare System in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. With exper tise in the needs of LGBTQ+ and Hispanic foster children, I have developed programs that are inclusive of previ ously unaddressed gender, racial and socioeconomic inequities.”

Other activities listed by Mr. Pennon on LinkedIn include board director and manager of programs and service, Pacific Pride Foun dation, founding member of PFLAG (Parents, fami lies and Allies United with LGBT People to move equality forward) in Santa

Maria, ** and participation in numerous foster, LGBTQ+ and county programs since 2020.

In an article dated March 7, 2016, Matt and Michael Pennon were featured in “Our County, Our Kids,” Santa Barbara County Dept of Social Services. *** The article states, “Today, the meaning of ‘family’ has become increasingly inclu sive and diverse. Perhaps no one better exemplifies this trend than Matt and Michael Pennon, a Santa Maria couple who are writing their own definition of family while positively affecting the lives of foster children. They began their foster care journey in Dec 2014 by becoming resource parents, then adopting two of the boys, in April 2016.”

Although Mr. Pennon's recent resume appears stellar in his activities since 2015, his rapid rise to the position of a board member in a new

community calls to ques tion the true motivation of the board. Mr. Pennon is a replacement for Mary Kay Mills, who received the most votes ever in a school board election. She was elected by a community that appreci ated her conservative stance, her faith-based decisions and desire to keep parents in charge of what their chil dren learn. Mr. Pennon's value system is diametrically opposed to that of Mrs. Mills.

With all of the overwhelm ing local parental rejection of CRT, Critical Race Theory, based on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, it seems odd that the board would appoint an unelected and unknown new resident from the far left with such deep DEI involve ment.

For those reasons, it is all the more important to provide community balance on the AUSD board as our

When Institutions Fail

by 2025), was found to be completely unreliable by the state auditor in a report issued last spring.

The fact its figures are unreliable and based on information the auditor called unverified does not faze HCD, which never stopped pushing cities to revise their housing plans and practices even as it refused to alter anything about its hous ing estimates, or correct the processing flaws found by the auditor.

It all adds up to a state-sponsored campaign to push ideology over facts, fantasy over reality.

Newsom is fortunate he faces only token Republican opposition this fall, which keeps his laughable investi gation of a no-longer-cur rent San Francisco crisis from threatening his political life.

We live in an era when institutions fail us daily, when hysteria dominates, reason fades and facts are lost to history. The institutions we rely upon to inform us resort to fearmonger ing which venal politicians then take as an opportunity to increase their personal power and push favored agendas regardless of the people’s will, national interests or science.

We now live in an appar ent two-tiered justice system in which those out of politi cal favor are ruthlessly perse cuted by rogue federal agencies regardless of law or the interests of justice. In this case I refer to

a father of seven, anti-abortion activist being prosecuted under federal law for interfering with a pro-abortion escort at an abor tion clinic. The FBI conducted a raid with 20-plus heavily armed agents to arrest him at his home, terrorizing his wife and children in the early morning for a “crime” for which the case had been dismissed by a local court a year prior. The pro-abortion escort had confronted the father's 12 year-old son, spouting vulgarities that cannot be printed or spoken on the airwaves. The father inter vened and pushed the man away after the abortion escort refused to stop harassing his child. Local courts dismissed this case as without merit in a civil court. The Department of Justice indicated they intended to indict the father three months ago. The father’s attorney advised the DOJ that the father would voluntarily surrender but the DOJ remained silent until last week. This federal law is normally used against people making bomb threats or engaging in physical violence,

which is actually very rare among anti-abortion activists. Clearly, this was an effort by Attorney General Garland to intimi date the pro-life movement into silence after the Supreme Court’s June decision to strike down Roe vs Wade and return abortion law to the states. Acts of violence by pro-abortion activists against pro-life centers and the pro-life movement seem to be ignored by this Justice Department, just as the riots, arsons and murders committed by leftist groups in the summer of 2020 have gone unprosecuted.

We live in an era of political arrogance by many of those in political office. This week Gov. Newsom vetoed a bill that would have placed limits upon his emergency authority as governor, especially limiting the time and circumstances that a governor may extend a Declaration of Emergency. The bill in ques tion had bipartisan support by a legislature fed up with Newsom’s bypassing of the legislature.

It is this same arrogance that

empowers state agencies such as the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to issue edicts that prohibit the sale of natu ral gas appliances for heating or cooking by 2030 and outlaws the sale of fossil-fueled cars and trucks within 13 years, regard less of the ability of the electrical grid to provide sufficient power to recharge electric vehicles, heat your homes, cook your dinner or keep the lights on. To date, there is no project to rebuild the California electrical grid or add the many electrical generating stations to supply power to 40 million plus residents. Businesses that see the handwriting on the wall are increasingly leaving the state just as 600,000 Califor nians did last year. It is because of CARB that you pay $2.50 more per gallon of gas than other Americans (I paid $2.99/gal last week) and California refineries continue to close. By the way, can any of you name even a single member of the unelected Cali fornia Air Resources Board?

Most of these abuses of power

are at the behest of ambitious politicians who care little for facts and suppress any efforts to inform the public. The national and regional media are complicit in where once they were pitbulls questioning every assertion of government, they have become lap-cats eagerly awaiting their next morsel from government public affairs officers. Question ing of Climate Change dogma is prohibited: careers are ended for transgressors. Public policies based upon faulty science are being imposed that will devas tate the livelihoods of millions yet no matter: academics need their grants and billions are being made by uncaring corporations.

Michael Schellenberger’s book "Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All" should be at the top of your reading list. He explains how media “emphasize the most pessimistic scenarios and in the process … converts them from worst-case scenarios to our most likely futures.” An example he gave was of a June 2019 Asso

election for four new board members draws near.

There are five qualified candidates who could provide the weight and experience needed to represent the majority of Atascadero resi dents and parents.

Those candidates are Collins, Hathaway, Koznek, McGrew and Staton. A vote for four of these will help protect our children from outside influences attempt ing to destabilize our district and our values. Yes, this is important.

ciated Press article headlined, “UN Predicts Disaster if Global Warming Not Checked.” The article quoted a UN official purportedly stating that if “global warming isn’t reversed by 2030, then rising sea levels could wipe entire nations…off the face of the earth … the ice caps will melt away, rainforests will burn, the world will warm to unbearable temperatures.

We have a ten-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effects before it goes beyond human control.”

This article or its assertions are frequently referenced by media but the problem is the UN offi cial didn’t make these statements in 2019 as many assumed: Schel lenberger reveals the statements were made in June 1989 and “the cataclysmic events the UN offi cial predicted were for the year 2000, not 2030.” Environmental journals exacerbate the problem as Schellenberger states by “exag gerating the exaggerations.” But why let facts get in the way of a good story?

NAME

NOTICE 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 it self. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER:

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 en couraged 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.

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 (855) 976-3916 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com using the file number assigned to this case 220016511 CA. 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 Web site. 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 pursu ant 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 auc tion. 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 (855) 976-3916 or visit this Internet Web site https://tracker.auction. com/sb1079 using the file number assigned to this case 22001651-1 CA 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 trust ee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trust ee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should con sider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate

professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

TIAL 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 en couraged 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.

the trustee auction pursu ant 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 auc tion. 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.cle arreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 104039-CA 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 trust ee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trust ee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must sub mit 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 buy er” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice re garding this potential right to purchase.

Wow! Last week end was one busy weekend, starting with the Colony Days mixer at Wild Fields Brewhouse on Friday night to introduce the Colony Days Royalty to the public. King and Queen Dan and Ramona Phillips, and Parade Grand Marshal Ann Little each received a plaque in their honor. The presentation to the King and Queen was done by Atascadero’s first Mayor, Bob Wilkins, and our current Mayor, Heather Moreno, and as a previ ous Marshal, I had the honor of presenting the Marshal’s plaque to Ann Little.

On Saturday, hundreds of spectators gathered along El Camino Real to view the Colony Days Parade and cheer on the parade participants. After the parade, everyone joined in the

activities in the Sunken Gardens and there was something for everyone to do, including watch ing the wiener dog and small dog races.

Then, on Sunday after noon, board members of the Atascadero Performing Arts Center Committee and the Printery Foundation gath ered at the home of Brenda and David May to honor and give a big thank you to Danc ing With Our Stars performers Kate Auslen and her professional dance partner, Justin McMillan Also honored were members of their performance support team that included Frank Sanchez, Atascadero’s King of Dance, who choreographed Kate and Justin’s dance, Sharon Rademacher, and Brenda May. Team members Angela Cisneros, and Jennifer Adams were unable to attend.

With community support, Kate and Justin placed third in the competition, raising $31,490 for the nonprofit Atascadero Performing Arts Center Committee, who is working with the Printery Foundation of build a performing arts theater in

the historic Printery building in Atascadero.

I

collect things and one of the things I've collected over the years are names of small towns I've either visited or wanted to. For example, I've been in Greybull, Wyoming, Bull Run, Oregon, and Bullhead City, Arizona, but I've never been to Bulltown, West Virginia, Bull, Wyoming, or Cowford, Flor ida. I spent quite a few days in Bovina, Texas, which was previ ously called Bull Town. You'd be surprised to find just how many small towns drew their names from the cowboy lexicon. For example, New Mexico has had five towns in its history called Corral, which I'd think would have gotten confusing when the boss man said to take the herd to Corral. "Which one?" you might ask. Further complicating matters is the fact that there's a Cowpens in South Carolina.

There used to be a town called Ox-Bow, Nebraska, but for some reason they changed their name to Angus in 1886. This was years before sporting venues sold naming rights like the Scotia

Bank Saddledome, KFC Yum! Center, Tony Macaroni Arena, and Smoothie King Center, so I doubt the Angus Associa tion paid for the name change in Ox-Bow. Keeping with the cowboy theme, there is a Saddle River, New Jersey, Saddlestring, Wyoming, Lariat, Texas, and a Roundup in both Montana and Texas.

Some small towns have such soothing names you want to go there like Cool, California, or Briny Breezes, Florida, while others seem to be trying to scare you away with names like Bake Oven, Thermal, Stinking Water, or Sweatman. The hard est job in the world has got to be being head of the Chamber of Commerce in Hell, Mich igan, although it would be no picnic in Boring, Oregon, or Dull, Tennessee, either. And who in their right mind is gonna say, "Back up the moving truck Martha we're moving to Hump tulips, Hogeye, Hogaw, Punkin Center, Okay or Ordinary." I think these are all places you actually have to have been born there to get there.

When I'm talking small towns, I'm referring to places where there's five cows and three sheep for every person and no politician has ever visited there. I'm talking about places

you'd never think of stopping in unless you broke down. Places like Crooked River, Coldass Creek, Waterproof, Possum Grape, Scratch Ankle, Sweet Lips, Cheesequake, Greasy Corner, Lick Skillet, Wide Awake, Tightsqueeze, Monkey's Eyebrow, Potato Neck, Cut and Shoot, Breakabean, Smackover, Pie Town, or Stifleknee Knob. These are places where there's more people IN the Fourth of July parade than are actually watching it. It's where good folks leave their doors unlocked and one speeding ticket can double the town's yearly income.

I love everything about Wyoming especially the fact that people are so honest there. Who else would name a town Dead Bastard Peak, Crazy Woman Creek or Maggie's Nipples? I'm told Ten Sleep, Wyoming, got its name from the Indians because they said the distance between two places was 20 "sleeps" away, or 20 nights, and Ten Sleep was, therefore, halfway.

Some small towns named themselves like Bear Wallow, Arsenic Tubs, Happy Valley, Mud Lick, Wagon Mound, Burning Well, Crooked River, Iron Mountain, Dripping Springs, Oil Trough, Goose Lake and Dunmovin'. I can only imagine how Relief, Kentucky,

got its name. Did someone have to pull over the wagon train to pee and decided that would be a good place to start a town?

I can't think for the life of me why anyone would name their town Why, Arizona, or Why Not, Mississippi. Or Ding Dong, Texas, for that matter. I've been to towns called You Bet and Truth or Consequences, which was actually named after a TV game show. And I'm being truthful when I say there's a town in Texas that shall go Nameless. Really, that's its name ... Nameless. I think the name Recluse, Montana, was named after me, but it existed long before I was born.

Pennsylvania sounds like a land of perverts when you consider some of their town names like Intercourse, Climax, Blue Ball, Virginville, Lover and Noodle Doosey. Some towns just want to be cute like Foun tain, Penn., Noah's, Ark., and Tin, Kan., but my favorite town name in my collection is Zzysx, California, which supposedly just wanted to be the last word in the English language. So I guess it's only appropriate I let them have the last word.

‘The Consequences of Disrespecting God’s Leader’

an Ethiopian woman. There was no justifiable reason for making this accusation. If Moses had made a wrong choice, the Lord would have reprimanded him.

In this section of scripture, I want us to learn that it is a very serious sin to unjustly criticize and disrespect God’s chosen leader. Moses was God’s chosen leader and God expected people to not rebel against him.

We will learn that there will be a serious consequence for disre garding and unjustly criticizing God’s leader.

This occurred between Moses and his two older siblings, Miriam and Aaron. Miriam and Aaron committed two slander ous accusations against Moses. They accused Moses of making a wrong decision in marrying

To rebuke Moses was a sinful response to his choice. The text doesn’t give any suggestion why this accusation was made. It seems possible that Moses decided to remarry because his first wife, Zipporah, had died (Numbers 12:1).

Secondly, Miriam and Aaron asserted that they were import ant leaders just like Moses and that God had spoken to them in the same manner that He had spoken to Moses. This accusa tion implied that Moses had made himself their superior which they personally rejected (Numbers 12:2). This accusation was false because Moses was a very humble man and wouldn’t have acted like this (Numbers 12:3). The problem with all

they falsely said was “the Lord heard it” (Numbers 12:2). The Lord’s response was to person ally gather Moses, Miriam and Aaron at the tabernacle and rebuke Miriam and Aaron for what they had said.

The Lord said several things to them: 1) The Lord alone chooses a prophet thru whom He will speak; 2) The Lord had chosen Moses alone as an inti mate servant to reveal what God wanted to say; 3) Why were they not afraid to speak against God’s faithful spokesman?

(Numbers 12:4-8). The anger of the Lord was aroused against Miriam and Aaron. After the Lord departed Miriam became leprous, white as snow (Numbers 12:9-10).

Aaron realized the serious ness of their sin and confessed that they had acted foolishly. He appealed to Moses not to allow Miriam to remain a leper

(Numbers 12:11-12). Moses cried out to the Lord to heal Miriam (Numbers 12:13). The Lord told Moses that Miriam needed to learn a lesson about disrespecting God’s leader. She was to be separated from the people for seven days before she would be healed. Miriam’s suffering was the consequence of her sins (Numbers 12:14-16). God’s anger and discipline were His response to sin. This is still true today.

Lessons to Be Learned

1. God hates lying and slander: Proverbs 6:17-19.

2. It is a serious sin to disrespect God’s chosen leaders.

3. Sin always will reap God’s judgment: Galatians 6:7-10. We will reap what we sow

On Saturday, Oct. 1, the San Miguel Parlor No. 94 of the Native Daughters of the Golden West hosted the Pioneer Ladies Tea at the Culinary Academy in Paso Robles. According to Pioneer Day Chair Margaret Wicks, the tea has been an annual event for over 50 years and has been hosted by various groups throughout the years.

“The purpose of the tea is to honor the Queen and other pioneer women and their descen dants,” Wicks said. “One of the traditions is for the Queen to donate a china tea set to the host ing organization.”
