PASO ROBLES — Seventeen U.S. veterans took flight on Saturday, Aug. 27, in the “Betsy’s Biscuit Bomber,” a restored World War II C-47 aircraft, for an Honor Flight around the Central Coast. Aboard Betsy were two WWII veterans, one pre-Vietnam veteran who served between Korea and Vietnam, and 14 Vietnam veterans. They came to the Estrella Warbirds Museum in Paso Robles for take-off from areas ranging from Santa Ynez to Paso Robles. All of them have been waiting their turn for an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., for their Tour of Honor. “The flight yesterday turned out better than we could have expected,” said Flight Coordinator for Honor Flight, Caralee Wade. “Our team at Honor Flight worked hard with the Gooney Birds and the staff at the Warbirds museum in putting it all together, and it all came off without a hitch.” The flight was gifted to Honor Flight Central Coast California by the Estrella Warbirds Museum and plane owners, the Gooney Birds, to thank the veterans who have been waiting on the long wait list for their Washington, D.C., trip. Honor Flight Central Coast California is a nonprofit organization that takes veterans to Washington, D.C., for a Tour of Honor trip to see the memorials honoring their service. The Saturday Honor Flight took veterans on a 40-minute tour over Morro Rock and Hearst Castle.

ATASCADERO — Born on Sept. 2, 1922, World War II veteran Charles “Cap” Capper will celebrate his 100th birth day this Friday. “If I go to pick up a couple of prescriptions, they always ask you your birthdate, and I’ll tell them ‘Sept. 2, 1922, do the math,’” Cap said with a laugh. Cap was born and raised in a small town in Illinois. And before joining the military at the age of 20 in 1942, he had never left that state. After becoming part of the 8th Cavalry Reconnaissance in the 8th Division, he traveled from one coast to the other before being shipped overseas. ON A15

TEMPLETON — A generational family ranch has sold to Moonstone Hotel Properties, which owns several historic hotel properties, including Cambria Pines Lodge, Sea Otter Inn in Cambria, and the Monterey Hotel. The ranch sold was the Dellaganna Ranch, whose red barn could be seen from Highway 46 West and has been the subject of many artists’ paintings. Georgia Dellaganna-Bollinger and one of the Dellaganna siblings, said the company has a great vision for the ranch, with plans to maintain the property’s historical value. The ranch has been in the Dellaganna family since the 1800s, starting with Georgia’s grand father.San Luis Obispo County is one of those areas where we have families who have been here for generations, dating back to the 1800s. The Dellaganna family is just one of those gener ational families, but Georgia and her siblings have decided to close their chapter on the ranch and“Itrelocate.wasthe hardest decision we’ve ever had to make in our lives,” said Georgia, who is specif ically the fifth of six siblings. The Dellaganna story begins with Alberico Dellaganna, who was born in 1873 in Swit zerland. Around the turn of the 20th century, Alberico eventually made his voyage to the Central Coast and started mining before purchasing the 600 acres that would become the family home for generations. In 1902, Alberico married another Swiss descendant, Josephine Carmine, who was born in Cayucos in 1881. After purchasing the ranch, they transitioned from mining to dairy farming — a popular occupancy for Swiss families on the Central Coast at the time. The family would take their cream by horse and wagon to Harmony, the creamery capital for the area at the time.

“It was the best life a child could have,” said Georgia, “It was a wonderful childhood — I wouldn’t have changed anything.” Theodore passed away in 1985 at the age of 69, and Nancie passed a few short years later in 1989 of what Georgia called a broken heart. Georgia and her siblings continued to have family reunions at the ranch with children and grandchildren, spending summers there doing the same things they did as kids. But now, the siblings have decided together that it is time to close their chapter at the Dell aganna Ranch. This summer, all six siblings came together at the ranch to say their goodbyes. While the Dellagannas may not live or own the ranch anymore, the red barn will always be a reminder of the Dellaganna family and their mark made on San Luis Obispo County.

While Georgia isn’t sure when her family got its first truck, her father continued the family dairy business, expanding into other agriculture enterprises.Georgia’s father, Theodore Ellis Dellaganna, was born in 1915 in the ranch’s original home — then only a two- or three-room home. It wasn’t until the home’s renovation in 1935 that they had electricity and indoor toilets on the ranch. World War II called two of Georgia’s uncles to enlist, but her father was able to stay home and carry on the dairy business and expand the farm with more cattle, horses, and grain farm ing. Later on, he even served as a deputy county sheriff.Each day was filled with hard work maintain ing the farm, but Theodore always made some time for fun at local brandings and rodeos with his horse named Pat. It was at one of those functions that he met his eventual wife, Nancie Bragg, and the two married on August 4, 1948. Theodore and Nancie would go on to raise their six children in the original ranch house: Nancie (Dellaganna) is a medical missionary who has been stationed in Bangladesh since 1977, Mary Dellaganna-Brunner now lives in

TEMPLETON — Twin Cities Community Hospital is the only hospital in San Luis Obispo County to have been named to the California Health and Human Services Agency (CHHS) / Cal Hospital Compare Honor Roll for excel lence in Maternity Care in 2022. Twin Cities was honored, in particular, for its low rates of cesarean section births Recognition(“C-sections”).byCalifornia Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (CMQCC) for having met and maintained the Healthy People 2020 and Healthy People 2030 target rates for the NTSV (Nulliparous, Term, Singleton, Vertex) cesarean birth measure for three consecutive years (20192021) played a role in being named to the Honor Roll.The 2022 Maternity Honor Roll recognizes 108 hospitals that met or surpassed the statewide target aimed at reducing births via C-section in first-time mothers with low-risk pregnancies. The award reflects 2021 data from the 211 Califor nia hospitals that offer maternity services and participate in the California Maternal Qual ity Care Collaborative’s Maternal Data Center (CMQCC’s MDC). While people correctly and often think of hospitals as places for acute and emergency care, childbirth is actually the number one reason for hospitalizations in California and the United States. However, it is important for mothers to consider the benefits of hospitals that emphasize natural childbirth because overuse of cesarean sections can result in higher rates of complica tions like hemorrhages, transfusions, infection, and blood clots. The cesarean sections surgery also can bring risks for babies, including higher rates of infec tion, respiratory complications, neonatal intensive care unit stays, and lower breastfeeding rates. Twin Cities’ rate for cesarean births in 2022 is at only 15.8 percent, well below the 24.7 percent Healthy People 2020 target. Twin Cities has already been designated as a Blue Distinction Center for Maternity Care for its quality maternity programs and is one of only 12 of the 341 hospitals in California have been honored with the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) Care Award. Blue Distinc tion Centers are nationally-designated health care facilities that show meet specific, rigorous standards and demonstrate quality, overall patient satisfaction and a low percentage of early elective deliveries. The IBCLC award is a global recognition of best practices for protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding, it demonstrates that the hospitals are committed to ensuring staff have earned the prestigious International Board Certified Lactation Consultant certification. These best practices are major reason Twin Cities is an internationally recognized Baby-Friendly birth facility accredited by Baby Friendly USA. Twin Cities offers numerous classes for parents and prospective parents that can be found at tenet healthcentralcoast.com/events.Formoreinformationregarding maternity services at Tenet Health Central Coast, please tenethealthcentralcoast.com/services/obstetrics.visit

The first testimony heard in court that day was from a woman — who will be referred to as “Rhonda Doe” — who told the jury that Paul Flores sexually assaulted her in 2008. During cross examination, Rhonda said she attended Cal Poly in the fall of 1995 but dropped out in 1996 and lived in Grover Beach for a time. She told the defense she was unaware of the public ity surrounding Kristin Smart’s disappearance. Rhonda met Paul in January 2008 at The Thirsty Club bar in Redondo Beach. Paul showed up at the bar on his bicycle around closing time. Rhonda told the jury that her friends invited Paul to hang out with them at her house, but Paul needed to go home first and asked Rhonda to walk with him. Rhonda agreed and walked the 10 to 15 minutes from the bar to Paul’s house in Lawndale. She testi fied that during the walk she was alert. But once inside the home, Paul offered her a glass of water. While drinking the water, Paul gave Rhonda a tour of his home. Rhonda testified that she lost consciousness shortly after entering the bedroom. When she woke up, Rhonda says Paul was having non-consensual sex with her. She remem bered a few brief moments, one of which was Paul asking her if she remembered his name. She later remembers waking up and crying beside his bed asking Paul to take her home, which he did. Rhonda told San Luis Obispo County Deputy District Attorney Christopher Peuvrelle she did not report the incident at the time because she didn’t think it would be prosecuted. Rhonda told Peuvrelle she reached out to law enforcement last year. She explained she was scroll ing on her phone when she saw Paul’s photo when he was arrested. Rhonda said she believed it was the same person and contacted law enforcement. She was later shown a six-person photo lineup in May 2021 and identified Paul Flores as the person who raped her in January 2008.

ELIZABETH JOYCE LAMB SEPTEMBER 4, 2022 HER BIRTHDAY E lizabeth (AKA Ellsbeth) Joyce Lamb was the Granddaughter of California ranching pioneers, Timothy Graham Lamb, born in Syracuse, New York, in 1833, and his wife, Maria Corcoran, of Ireland, whom he married in 1864. At the age of 12, Timothy became a sailor on the Great Lakes and later on the seas. He emigrated to California in 1858 and immediately proceeded to the mines in Tuolumne County, after which he engaged in dairying in Napa County and in 1876 moved south to Monterey County to begin ranch ing with his six children, including “Joyce’s” Father, Charles Allen Lamb, of San Ardo. “Joyce” was born in a ranch house outside King City, Monterey County, CA, on September 4, 1924, before her Mother, Athelma E. Edrington Lamb, wife of San Ardo rancher, Charles Allen Lamb, could make it to the hospital in time. “Joyce” was a lovely child, raised on the family’s “101” San Ardo ranch. She was the oldest daughter of six children, including her older brother, Kenneth Harlan, and younger siblings, Marilyn June, Phyllis Arlene, Gerald Alan, and Winnifred. Joyce was an excellent horsewoman from a young age and rode in the Salinas Rodeo each year from age nine and won first place in each contest she entered. Her awards are on record at the Monte rey County Historical Museum. “Joyce’s” Mother, “Athelma,” furnished horses off the ranch for Sali nas Rodeo Parade riders, starting as early as 1926. The photo furnished here is of “Joyce” riding “Snip” all the way off the San Ardo ranch to the Salinas Rodeo in 1933. “Athelma,” an excellent rider herself, drove a truck alongside “Joyce,” with all her siblings inside, rooting for her all the way to the Rodeo! Mother attended King City, Monterey County schools all the way through elementary school and then transferred to Paso Robles High School in San Luis Obispo County, when the family moved off the ranch from San Ardo to another of their ranches, on the Estrella, outside San Miguel, CA. “Joyce” was extremely kind, intelligent, and beau tiful, as noted in her Paso Robles High yearbooks; and served as President of the Paso Robles High School Girls League along with one of her best friends, Gladys Rougeot, served as a May Day prin cess. Mother’s nickname was “Happy,” and indeed, she was. In her senior year, she moved to the home of her Godparents, Maude and Shorty Dallaire, in San Miguel, to better concentrate on her studies, avoid the back and forth trip from the ranch, and to work her part-time job at the San Miguel Drug store.Mother graduated from Paso Robles High in 1942 and married the same year. She was an excel lent role model and loving Mother to her three children. Loving “Joyce” moved in with her eldest child, Paula Edrington, in 1993 and was loved and cared for by Paula, Gil, “Chip,” and Zacky,” her loving Yellow Labradors and constant companions, until her death on Paula’s birthday, February 17, in 2016.“Joyce” is buried in the San Ardo Cemetery, right next to her Grandparents, Timothy G. Lamb and Maria Corcoran Lamb. Rest in peace, Mother, with prayers and love to you in Heaven on your earthly birthday!

DearOurEditor,local League has signed up, along with more than 156 other Leagues nationwide, to support National Voter Registration Day on September 20. Leagues will conduct in-per son community registration drives, spread the word on social media, text voters to remind them about registration dead lines, and work with partners to spread the word. The message is simple: now is the time to regis ter, or update your registration, to ensure you are able to vote. Our Voter Service Committee, led by Director Julie Rodewald, has come up with a creative way to take part in this year’s regis tration efforts. With help from our Communications Commit tee, they have designed an ad to appear in the Annual Student Guide published by New Times. The ad will also appear on their digital outlet. The ad aims to reach out to new and return ing college students to remind them to update their registra tion information in preparation for the November Election. In this way, we hope to make the voting process easier for student voters and local election officials alike. For more information, visit my.lwv.org. League of Women Voters, SLO County T his particular topic seems to come up with surprising frequency, especially at this busy and exciting “Back to School” time of year. City staff members are asked questions fairly often by friends, family members, or members of the public they run into around town while they’re shopping or doing errands, who wonder why “the City” doesn’t just do this or that, when what they’re curious about is actually something that the Atascadero Unified School District (AUSD) may be able to help them out with. I thought this might be a good time to clarify and to remind residents that the City of Atascadero and the Atascadero Unified School District are completely separate and unique govern mental entities. We are both are here to serve the residents of our community, but in very differentCalifornia’sways.K-12 schools are overseen at the state level and are run by local school districts that are entirely independent of cities and counties. School districts are managed by an elected Board of Trustees that sets policy and hires the District Superintendent. The AUSD Board of Trustees consists of seven members that are elected by the voters of our community. The School Board governs the actions of the School District. Tom Butler serves our commu nity as the District Superin tendent. AUSD develops and implements its own educational policies and provides top-qual ity public education to all K-12 students in our community.

The City of Atascadero and the Atascadero Unified School District — We’re Separate, but We Cooperate
D ear DuringEditor,arecent trip to Paso Robles, our son, who was also visiting, expe rienced a medical emergency at the Mid-State Fair. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the midwife and nurse who were nearby, the EMT’s who responded quickly and those in the emergency room at Twin Cities Community Hospital. A thank you also to the person who called 911 and the woman who helped to calm our granddaugh ter. We are grateful to each of you. We couldn’t have been in a better place during an emer gency.Wayne and Kathleen Huot National RegistrationVoterDay
It is projected that San Diego customers will pay three times more by 2030. This mismanage ment is regressive and painful to the expanding working poor, and part of the reason our middle class are leaving the state. I love the potential that a fully renewable energy grid and fleet could make us resistant to foreign influence. Even with energy inde pendence achieved during the last administration, oil and gas are fungible commodities, so a spike in world demand or foreign disruption hurts us here at home. Yet disconcerting is the fact that the raw materials for EV batteries are from emerging markets with poor labor and environmental regulations. Congo is the main source of cobalt, with an esti mated 40,000 child laborers in their mines. Worse, China over whelmingly dominates the mining and processing of raw materials for EV production, and produces up to 76 percent of the EV batteries, while the U.S. makes 8 percent. Very late, we are waking up to our vulnerability, with bipartisan support seeking to expand rare earth mining and battery produc tion. Currently though China is preeminent, Europe is surging, while the infighting is already starting domestically with envi ronmentalists opposing proposed mining operations. The EV revolution is happen ing. Ford and Toyota have announced they will be carbon neutral by 2050, and GM plans to stop selling gas and diesel vehicles by 2035. Yet the 1.2 million new EV charging stations needed in California by 2030 must be ener gized, as do our homes. No cred ible plan exists to meet this huge increase, all while replacing current power sources with renewables, and without economically crush ing everyone except the affluent.
DON SCHMITZ COMMENTARY
H enry Ford once noted “if I had asked people what they wanted they would have said faster horses.” President John F. Kennedy told the German Assembly in Frankfurt in 1963 “change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”Inan effort to buck the conventional art of short-term thinking, all too prevalent in politics, California is charging into the headwinds of environ mental necessity by announcing a ban on the sale of new gaso line-powered vehicles in 2035. The rule, issued by the Cali fornia Air Resources Board, will force automakers to speed up production of cleaner vehicles beginning in 2026. Once again, the nation’s most populous state will take the lead in combatting climate change by issuing a rule that will attempt to cut in half pollution from cars and light trucks by 2040. While allowing buying and selling of gas vehicles, the rule will allow automakers to sell up to 20 percent plug-in hybrids, which are gas-powered, by 2035. By 2026, 35 percent of new vehicle sales must be powered by batteries or hydrogen and 68 percent by 2030. These efforts will help to meet the state’s goal of transitioning to 100 percent renewable energy by 2045. Of course, these are all suggested targets and whether or not they are achievable is due to many factors such as infla tion, charging and fuel infra structure, supply chains, labor, critical mineral availability and pricing and the ongoing semi conductor shortage. While such forward-looking policies all are envisioned with the best of intentions, there is still consid erable wariness on both sides of the political equation. On the one hand, some environmen tal organizations dismiss the policy as too little, too late. On the other hand, there are skep tics who doubt the aforemen tioned goals are either realistic or Theneeded.beauty of our demo cratic system is that it allows for a level of compromise that in all likelihood splits the differ ences and in a Solomon-like way incorporates give and take on both sides. Environmen tal awareness and the ravaging destruction visited upon the planet via climate change has numbed a reluctant and skep tical public into virtually shrug ging its shoulders and hoping for the Whetherbest. or not these proposed solutions are sufficient to help our planet continue to be accommodating to human existence is unknown, but certainly the awareness of a changing set of consequences from climate change: wildfires, droughts, extreme weather events, sea-level rise, glacial depletion, air pollution, and carbon dioxide release are test ing our existence. As one of the original climate reality ambassadors trained by Al Gore after the release of “An Inconvenient Truth” in 2006, I can attest to the rise and subsid ence of a movement which was warning the public of severe consequences if we continued to neglect our involvement in what was at first a slow-moving, but then quickly turned into a speedy train wreck. I have delivered over 100 presentations to audiences here and abroad, and while some efforts, particularly on the solar power, wind, and electric vehi cle fronts have captured wider attention, our addiction to fossil fuels and fracking technology have continued to render us hostages to the energy crisis. Unfortunately, climate change is a critical liability we have left future generations to deal with. Shame on us, and as a father of two millennials, I understand why they have such little faith in our ability to provide longterm solutions that will make habitation on this planet either possible or bearable. In the beginning of our quest to educate the public, I accepted an invitation to address students and faculty at the University of Pennsylvania. In preparation, I contacted Dr. Robert Giegen gack, a distinguished professor of geology and earth sciences and founder of the Institute for Environmental Sciences at Penn. He had recently writ ten an article questioning Mr. Gore’s efforts, and I was prepared for a confrontation; however I got an education. He brought to my attention that our presentation was flawed due to the fact that we opened with the assertion that nothing less than the survival of the planet was at stake. We were wrong, he insisted, the Earth will be fine and will adapt. I asked him, well what about the humans? That is very differ ent, he said in a seriously haunt ing way. Of course, he was right and we changed that portion of the presentation. Just goes to show you we can never stop learning and must adapt to change when it is warranted. We all need to adapt and adjust to the realities of both the moment and the future. Affixing our focus in the rear view mirror is a sure fire way of crashing into the reality that lies ahead. Foresight and technology must guide the way and this is a good start.

The City of Atascadero strives to consis tently provide all of our resi dents with high-quality and fiscally responsible service in the areas of Police, Fire, Streets, Parks, Recreation, Zoo, Build ing, Planning, Sewer, and other City services. As two local public agen cies working on behalf of the members of our community, the City and the School District do share information and work cooperatively together when ever we can. However, the City does not and cannot manage any actions or decisions for or on behalf of the School District, just as the School District does not and cannot take actions or make decisions for the City. All matters or questions pertaining to any of Atascade ro’s schools or school-related services are best directed to the School Board and/or the Superintendent’s office.

I f you build it, they will come, or for California, if you require it, they will drive electric cars (EVs). California now requires that all new cars sold in the state be electric by 2035. The laudable goal is to slash CO2 emissions, but is it practi cal? We have made tremendous progress already. The EPA reports that U.S. CO2 emissions dropped steadily from 6,000 million metric tons (MMT) in 2006 to 4,800 MMT in 2020, during a time of substantial popu lation and economic growth, accomplished without overreach ing regulations via technological innovation. Global contribution of CO2 from the U.S. dropped from 42 percent in 1950 to 13.5 percent in 2020. Calfornia, with the fifth-largest economy in the world, generates 1 percent of the annual CO2 globally. Inciden tally, our horrible wildland fuel management has resulted in 3.4 million acres of fires in our state, releasing the CO2 equivalent of 25 percent of our emissions from all fossil Californiafuels. in 2020 had 14.2 million registered vehicles. The average EV requires 30 kilo watt-hours to travel 100 miles, which is as much as the average American home uses daily (cook ing, AC, lights). Incidentally, aver age home use is going to spike as the government requires the conversion of all appliances from natural gas to electricity. Not including population growth, California will have to expand electricity production in 2035 for the EV fleet, equivalent to over 14 million homes! A U.S. Department of Energy study determined that national consumption of electricity would spike 38 percent by 2050 due to electric vehicles. California predicted, before the new law, that electric cars would demand 5.4 percent of the state’s electric ity capacity by 2030. If all cars in the U.S. were EVs, they would consume 27.6 percent of the grid’s production. According to a state-commissioned study, the load on the California grid could rise 60 percent to 90 percent with the conversion of the vehicle fleet and homes to all-electric. Currently, the U.S. produces 20 percent of its electricity with wind and solar, which is impressive. In California, that number is even higher at 33.6 percent, with 66.4 percent coming from coal, natural gas, nuclear, and large hydro. Cali fornia law requires ALL electric ity in the state to be zero carbon emitting by 2045 and 60 percent by 2030. The EV mandate will supercharge electricity demand. California currently must buy electricity from neighboring states, call flex alerts, and suffers blackouts. We’ll have to almost double our grid production while replacing over half of the produc tion with renewables. In 2021 we increased production by 2 percent. We’ve added essentially no new wind capacity since 2013, as rural communities deny permits. The math is daunting. The conversion and expan sion will cost billions of dollars, which will be passed on to the rate-payers. Already electricity prices exploded by 39.5 percent between 2010 and 2020. PG&E customers pay 80 percent more for electricity than the national aver age, SCE customers 45 percent more. California has the highest poverty rate in the country, 18.1 percent. Despite California homes using half as much energy as the national average, residents pay $2,328 yearly for electricity, 20 percent higher than the national average. This February, the PUC warned energy costs are grow ing far faster than the rate of inflation, and “energy bills will become less affordable over time.”

S ometimes oil field work ers and cowboys get along; sometimes they don’t. I’ve played both roles and have come to the conclu sion that the degree to which they get along is dependent on whether the cattleman is receiv ing royalty checks. In addition to working at a gas station pumping gas, washing windows, inflating tires and fixing flats, I worked three summers in the oilfields to pay my way through college. I’ve mentioned previously that after I got my animal science degree I took a job as a cowboy making $650 per month which was $200 less than what I was getting in the oilfields as a roustabout with no college degree. Both sides of my family worked in the oilfields so it was easy for me to get a job paying $5.25 per hour when the mini mum wage was $1.25. It was a good job, I learned a lot and I met some interesting charac ters, like Buster who owned the ranch that surrounded the oilfield where I worked. Buster was an old, single, miserable cuss who drank a lot and raised roping steers out of the worst cows I’ve ever seen. Buster had good reason to be mad at oilfield workers because the same oil company that leased the land where I worked also had a lease on Buster’s land only they never drilled on it. Which meant Buster was getting no royalty payments while his next door neighbor was cruising the world in his yacht with his beautiful 24-year-old girlfriend. Buster told everyone that the reason the oil company had not drilled on his land was because they were using directional drilling to drill under his land and get all Buster’s oil for free. I wouldn’t put it past them but in the oil company’s defense the field where I worked consisted of a couple hundred shallow wells that were drilled before directional drilling was even invented. I’d say on average the wells produced about 30 barrels every day since 1889. The oilfield where I worked was not conducive to running cattle because it was almost straight up and down, had no water, and was rockier than my boss man’s marriage. And there wasn’t enough feed to keep a goat alive. That’s why it seemed odd during my first summer to see this mysterious bull appear out of the fog and then disap pear after terrorizing the place. I only saw the bull they called El Diablo (The Devil) once and I can tell you he was a huge monster with horns that were wider than a Sherman tank and twice as deadly. The pumpers who checked the wells every day were refusing to exit their pickups for fear of being shish-kabobbed by the mysteri ous El Diablo. And these were not sissy men, but guys who regularly engaged in barroom fisticuffs and squashed rattle snakes with pieces of drill pipe. By the time I arrived on the scene El Diablo had already put a big dent in the boss man’s Lincoln Continental, had knocked over several stands that held 55 gallon drums filled with vile chemicals and made a mess of the pipe farm where El Diablo liked to hang out. After every episode the boss would phone Buster to come and get his bull but Buster insisted the bull wasn’t his, but who else could El Diablo belong to, there wasn’t another cattle ranch within 30 miles? During my second summer Buster came into the doghouse where we ate lunch and played cards and gave us all the evil eye. “Where’s your boss?” he demanded.Weallpointed to the office door and Buster barged into the office and demanded to know if the boss had seen El Diablo lately? “I haven’t seen him but why should you care Buster, I thought you said he wasn’t your bull?”“He’s not,” said Buster who was just trying to avoid paying for all the damage El Diablo did.The boss told Buster, “You might ask the guys in the doghouse but I haven’t seen him.”SoBuster demanded to know if any of us peons had seen El Diablo recently. “Now that you mention it,” said Bob, a former Golden Gloves champion who weighed 250 and was six feet five, “we haven’t seen him. But would you like a piece of jerky? I made it myself.”
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more 1⁄2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 11⁄2meltedpound strawberries, hulled, halved, quartered if large 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Place a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 350 degrees. Spread out pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing halfway through, until slightly golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Let cool; pulse in a food processor until mostly finely ground but with some larger pieces remaining. Mix pistachios, flour, sugar, corn meal, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, then drizzle butter and work in with your fingers or the handle of a wooden spoon until small pebble-to pea-size clumps form. Scatter crum ble over a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, trying not to break it up too much, and bake, tossing halfway through, until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Mean while, toss strawberries, lemon juice, cardamom, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl to combine. Heat honey in a small skillet, stirring until it begins to bubble and darkens slightly, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and scrape into strawber ries. Toss, until honey is evenly distributed (it’ll be sticky in the beginning but will even tually dissolve). Let sit, toss ing occasionally until berries release their juices, about 15 minutes. Scoop ice cream into bowls. Spoon strawberries and their juices over; scatter crum ble on Enjoytop.and stay cool! Cheers!

I was a little nervous as I climbed up a narrow ladder with at least a hundred rungs, 40 feet up. I wasn’t afraid of heights, but I was doing something new that I had never done before. At the top of the ladder, the trainer guided me to step onto a flimsy wooden platform that already held one other person, who proceeded to strap my harness to the safety line on both sides. I was all set and ready to go. I was given instructions from the woman below that another trapeze artist would appear directly across from me. That person would shout, “Listo,” signaling me to get ready, and I would proceed to grab the trapeze bar, bend my knees, and wait for the next instruction. When the trapeze artist directly across from me said the word, “Hep,” I was to step off the platform into thin air. That was not human nature to do. We, humans, have a survival instinct, and everything in me was against the idea. I knew it was time to check in with the God of my understanding. It said, “You have the appropriate safety apparatus correctly connected to you, Elizabeth. You are good to go. I’ve got you.” The woman on the ground level said, “Let’s try this again, Elizabeth. You must step off the platform when you hear the word, hep.” The person on the trapeze bar across from me asked, “Listo?” I replied with the same word, “Listo.” I’m ready. I stepped off the platform and continued following the instruc tionsTheprovided.experience made me contemplate areas in my life where I felt called by Spirit within to make a change but might not have taken the next step because it seemed complex or challenging. I also remembered a similar expe rience when I tried bungee jump ing and skydiving years before. I initially checked in with Spirit, the Self within all selves, which guided me to take the next step. Each of those experiences required focus and attention to make the conscious choice of something different. Recogniz ing my higher power in those instances of checking in with it proved its importance and strengthened my faith. Sometimes we continue to live and behave in ways that do not serve our highest good. I believe we do so out of habit; it’s comfort able; it’s what we know. Don’t worry; it’s not just you. Everyone has done it at one point or another in their life. The good news is that all it takes is a little mindfulness to get present enough to make conscious choices in the here and now that will propel you into your greater-yet-to-be.Inthesameway that it was not in my nature to step off that plat form into thin air, it’s not in our nature to challenge ourselves or be uncomfortable. So, for the next week, challenge yourself by moni toring your thoughts and asking yourself, “Is that true?” You are Divine!Andso it is. Rev.

PASO ROBLES — In August, a Paso Robles coach and player were awarded the Junior Giants Willie Mac Award and recognized at a recent San Francisco Giants baseball game at Oracle Park. The Junior Giants League is spon sored by the Giants Community Fund (GCF) and presented by the Paso Robles PAL. Their goal with Junior Giants is to develop a further relation ship with the youth in the community and provide a free baseball and soft ball league so all kids can play without having to worry about any additional expenses.Five-year-old Asher East and his coach Brett Ladd were nominated and won the 2022 Willie Mac Award. According to the Giants MLB website, the award is named “in honor of Giants Hall of Famer Willie McCovey, this award is the Junior Giants version of the annual award given to a Giants player by his teammates. The Junior Giants Willie Mac Award will go to one outstand ing Junior Giants player and coach/ team parent that best represents their league, as chosen by their league commissioner.”

PRPD School Resource Officer Alexandria Ellis told Paso Robles Press, “Coach Brett Ladd went above and beyond his duties as a [volunteer] coach, and I appreciated his proactive efforts to help the kids.” Ladd said he knew about the award and its meaning but never expected to be nominated for it. “I was super stoked,” he said. “Because I know what that means, that’s an important pick, so I was excited.”Unfortunately, Ladd was unable to attend the game with East, but was happy to see East go with his parents. “Asher East was also nominated for his willingness to learn and team player mentality,” said Ellis. “The Willie Mac winners displayed confi dence, integrity, leadership, and team work through the season.” Ladd enjoyed coaching Asher, saying “He was that kid who never said ‘I know,’ he would say ‘OK’ — he was really coachable that way.” It is safe to say Ladd looks forward to coaching Junior Giants next year, “I love being out there with the kids,” he said. “There’s nothing better.”

Junior Giants Willie Mac recipi ents must show confidence, integrity, leadership, and teamwork both on and off the field. Nominees are recognized at Oracle Park during a Giants game and invited to a special luncheon at the end of the season. “It was a privilege to get that [award],” said Ladd, who has been a baseball and Giants fan his entire life. He added, “Our team had so much fun playing and growing together as a team. I was flattered to even be mentioned as a nominee for the Willie MacThisAward.”summer was Ladd’s first time coaching the Junior Giants team in Paso Robles. He and his family moved to Paso Robles earlier this year from Santa Cruz, where he coached base ball for many years.

“Welcome Home Military came to help welcome them back,” said Wade. “Our communities helped at the two piers in Cayucos and San Simeon and even at Heritage Ranch show their support with flags waving as they flew past.”Waiting for the veterans back at Warbirds was the El Paso de Robles Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR).

Anna Park, regional attorney for the EEOC’s Los Angeles District, whose jurisdiction includes Paso Robles, added, “Complaints of sexual harass ment and retaliation continue to persist across industries. Employees deserve a workplace that is free of such conduct. The EEOC will continue to protect workers and ensure companies address complaints properly and prioritize accountability.”ThePacificCoast’s Business Times’ recent article on the lawsuit has an attached copy of the lawsuit’s court document. According to the case docu ment, defendants 1-10 will remain nameless, referred to as DOE. Additionally, the document further describes the sexual behavior which occurred: The supervisors’ conduct included, but was not limited to, unwanted sexual touching of the buttocks, waist and breasts, rubbing of genitals on female subordinate employees, unwanted hugging and kissing, forcible kiss ing on the mouth, grabbing on the hands, snapping of bra straps, nibbling on the ear, biting on the shoulder, exposure of male employees’ private body parts, texting inappropriate photos, and stroking employees’ hair. The above excerpt is just a portion of the inappropriate behavior that occurred. It is unclear how many women are a part of the lawsuit. Paso Robles Press has reached out to Rachel Ostroff, The Wonderful Company’s manager for corporate commu nications, and received the following statement: “JUSTIN strongly denies it did anything improper and intends to defend against this filing. Beyond that, we do not comment on matters of litigation.” This is a developing story that Paso Robles Press will be following and providing updates as more information is available. seat for the remainder of the term. Garcia resigned from her seat on the Paso Robles City Council on Aug. 2 after she notified the city manager and city attorney of a change in her personal residency, which precludes her from serving as a council member.Council conducted interviews Wednesday night during a special City Council meeting. There were four applicants interviewed: Bausch, Keith Boyd, Lars Jorgensen, and Rick VanCouncilmembersSant. interviewed the candidates in open session, with ques tions centered on the city’s adopted goals related to economic develop ment, public safety and infrastructure. Council members also discussed with the candidates their positions on hous ing, cannabis, homelessness and other matters of interest to Paso Robles resi dents.Ultimately, council unanimously chose to appoint Bausch, who happens to also be the only candidate running to fill Garcia’s District 2 seat in the November Election. During his interview, Bausch said his goal with the school board was to achieve financial stability. He now feels that it has been achieved, and it is time for him to move on. He added the district is in good hands with Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Brad Pawlowski overseeing itsFollowingfinances. the council’s decision, Mayor Steve Martin administered Bausch’s oath of office and he imme diately joined the council to assume his new duties. With Bausch being appointed to City Council, he must vacate his posi tion on the school board and as such, submitted his letter of resignation to Superintendent Curt Dubost, which read: Dear Superintendent Dubost, It is with a heavy heart and no small sense of regret that I inform you that earlier this evening my application to complete the term of former Coun cilmember Maria Garcia was accepted by Mayor Martin, and Councilmembers Strong, Gregory, and Hamon. My being sworn in effectively ends my ten years of service to the students, families, and staff of the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District. I look forward to continuing to serve the larger community of Paso Robles and beginning a new chapter of working alongside our dedicated City Staff. I thank those who inspired me to run for the school board and then encouraged me to run again. I thank those who taught me how to be an effective board member, especially Dr. Kathleen McNamara and Board President Jay Packer. To the citi zens, parents, and staff who shared their information with me and trusted that I would do something positive with it, know that I tried. I apologize that I often fell short of your expectations. Thanks to the sacrifice of District employees, the watchful guidance of Diana Larsen, the prudence of CBO Brad Pawlowski, and generous COVID funding, Paso Robles schools are in a much more positive cash position than when I arrived and should remain so for many years to come. Beyond the budget, more work, more dialogue, and more effort are needed to ensure that the values of our hometown Paso Robles will continue to be instilled in our children. Voters, parents, grandparents, board members, and board candidates, it is up to you to protect the children who come to our schools to learn. Please do not take our children’s future for granted. If you are not already involved, please consider what is at stake. Thank you Paso Robles for the priv ilege of serving our schools. It has truly been an honor. Very best regards, Chris Bausch PRJUSD trustees will now have to make a decision to either hold a special election or appoint someone to fill Bausch’s seat on the school board. Board President Chris Arend told Paso Robles Press that PRJUSD will discuss the vacancy at the agen da-setting meeting this week. The next PRJUSD meeting is scheduled for Sept. 13. According to Arend, the Board has approximately 60 days to fill the vacant seat.

“As Regent of the El Paso de Robles Chapter, NSDAR, I was very honored to have our chapter participate in the welcoming home of the Honor Flight this past Saturday,” El Paso de Robles Chapter Regent Susan Howard said. “Seven members of our chapter were able to attend the ceremony and honor our heroes.” Due to COVID precautions, Honor Flights were delayed, but flights are back running. The Honor Flight organization was originally focused on WWII veterans, but the flights are open to any veteran of any era. Vietnam veterans now make up the biggest proportion of veterans on the flights. “The veterans exited the plane with big smiles and huge hugs, thanking us for a flight they will always remember,” Wade said. The next Honor Flight will be Oct. 24-26 and will be the last one of the year. More details on the flight will be available at a later date.

“I was stationed up at Belmont, in Petaluma, and we were supposed to be defending the West Coast,” he said. “I was there for a while, and then I went to Oklahoma for about a month, and then I went to New Jersey and got my shots for overseas.”Helanded in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Dec. 3, 1943, but his ship continued around the horn before he departed in Scotland. Cap caught a train to the Southern part of England in Scotland for advanced training at Tidworth Barracks six months before the D-Day invasion. “I landed on Omaha Beach [in Normandy, France] July 4, 1944, and went through France, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg,” Cap added. “We linked up with the Russians in Schwerin, Germany; it was May 3, 1945. All of these things are really vivid in my mind.” Cap fought in the Battle of Hurt gen Forest, and while the series of battles lasted from Sept. 19 thru Dec. 16, he was there for seven days. Cap also liberated a concentration camp during his time in the 8th Cavalry Reconnaissance.“Yousee,atthat time, we didn’t have the clothing or near the guns that they have now. But it was quite an experience,” Cap continued.InJuneof 1946, he was discharged at Fort Leonard in Missouri, which is where he met his wife, Betty. Nine years later, in 1955, Cap moved his family out West to Oxnard, and around 18 years after that, in the early ‘70s, they moved to Atascadero.“IlikedCalifornia, so I moved up here about 48 or 49 years ago,” Cap said.After his wife’s passing 20 years ago, Cap started delivering meals to local seniors through Meals on Wheels. His delivery route included Atascadero and Templeton, and he would drive about 25 miles a day, five days a week. He continued delivering meals for 13 years before retiring at the age of 92. Up until he stopped driving six months ago, Cap also enjoyed helping his neighbors and friends by driving them to appoint ments and on errands. “I enjoyed doing it. I benefited. It kept my mind off of unpleasantries,” added Cap. Cap also went on to say how things have changed in the last 100 years, from phones to refrigerators, and the addition of the flushing toilet instead of the outhouses he grew up with. He also went into some of the changes he’s seen in Atascadero. “When I came here, that was a two-lane road,” he said of El Camino Real. “Once in a while, you’d see a pickup go by with a gun rack and a barking dog. A horse driving down the street.” In 2014, Cap was Grand Marshal during Atascadero’s Colony Days and was named Senior Citizen of the Year in San Luis Obispo County in 2013, among the many other acco lades throughout the years on the Central Coast. “I attribute my longevity to my father [who lived to be 96] and my parents and Dr. [Gregg] Ellison,” Cap said of hitting 100. “He’s the best. He’s been taking care of me since I’ve been here.” Happy Birthday, Cap.
“Employers who fail to take action to address sexual harass ment and misconduct in the workplace create an environ ment that encourages this behavior. As a result, employees may be hesitant to voice their complaints; however, they have protections under federal law,” said Christine Park-Gonzalez, acting district director for the EEOC Los Angeles District.
