SLO County sets voter turnout record at 84.85%

By BRIAN WILLIAMS brian@pasoroblespress.com SAN LUIS OBISPO — The San Luis Obispo County Elections Office released its updated Election Summary Report on Monday, Nov. 10, stating there were only 4,927 remaining ballots — 2,438 vote-bymail, 2,362 provisional. The General Election was held on Nov. 3.

With so few ballots remaining to be counted, all but one of the North County races remains in doubt — the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District School Board’s final seat. Nathan Williams held a 110 vote lead over Jim Cogan for the fourth seat with an estimated 830 ballots — 379 vote-by-mail and 451 provisional — remaining to be counted.

None of the North County races changed significantly with Monday’s update.

As of the close of election night, 117,974 ballots were counted.

According to Monday’s update, 156,174 ballots had been counted.

Voter turnout for SLO County increased to a record 84.85 percent.

The previous high was 83%.

“Counting has gone very smoothly, and yes, I am definitely aiming for completion just before Thanksgiving,” SLO County Clerk-Recorder Tommy Gong said.

Vote-by-mail accounted for 148,733 votes in SLO County, with 7,441 people voting at polling locations. SLO County mailed a voteby-mail ballot to every registered voter, but people had the option of voting in-person.

The number of vote-by-mail ballots remaining to be counted could change as more ballots arrive at the County Elections Office. Voteby-mail ballots that are postmarked

by Election Day, Nov. 3, and received by the Elections Office within 17 days of the election are eligible to be counted.

County elections officials must report their final results to the Calif.

Secretary of State for the Presidential contest by Dec. 1 and all other state and federal contests by Dec. 4.

The Secretary of State will certify the results on Dec. 11.

n November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day, “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”

The original understanding for the celebration was a day observed with parades, ceremonies, and a brief suspension of business beginning at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Later in 1954, Armistice Day was changed to Veterans Day to honor veterans from all wars.

This year in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Paso Robles decided to cancel their traditional ceremony at the Paso Robles District Cemetery and instead showcased their Avenue of Flags. People could view the Flags throughout the Paso Robles District Cemetery as well as around town, courtesy of the Boy Scouts. This was done to safely honor local veterans and adhere to the restrictions set in place by the State and the County.

Atascadero did not cancel or dramatically change its annual tribute to veterans due to the pandemic as others did. The ceremony sponsored by the Atascadero Veterans Memorial Foundation took place at the Faces of Freedom in Atascadero.

Ret. US Navy Cmdr. Ray Johnson and Ret. US Army Lt. Col. Al Fonzi II were named Distinguished Veterans of the Year during the 13th annual Veterans Day Ceremony.

Johnson and Fonzi II, who both call Atascadero home, were humbled by the honor and made it a point to thank their wives.

“I was asked if I had a speech prepared, I

said I did, and it’s just four words, ‘Thank you very much,’” Johnson said before making a few more comments. “This is incredible. I want to salute all our vets. Most of them could be up here, standing in my place for what they did.

“Above all, I want to thank my wife, Helen.

She’s been the wind beneath my wings,” Johnson said.

Atascadero Mayor Heather Moreno introduced the Distinguished Veterans, reading off their many accomplishments in the Navy and Army, respectively, and their outstanding achievements when they returned home.

Paso Robles Historical Museum is Open Again

By BRIAN WILLIAMS brian@pasoroblespress.com PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles Historical Museum reopened Friday, Nov. 6, in the Downtown City Park for the first time since mid-March.

The Museum is inside the Historic Carnegie Library in the Park and is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday through Monday. It is managed by the nonprofit El Paso de Robles Area Historical Society. The research room is available Thursdays or by appointment.

“Obviously, we are excited to be open again,” said Museum volunteer and vice president Nancy Tweedie. “We have had an amazing turnout.”

The Museum closed due to COVID-19 orders by Gov. Gavin Newsom. Due to the County moving into the Red Tier, indoor museums could reopen at 25 percent capacity.

People are required to wear face coverings and to social distance when inside.

“Nobody has had any problems wearing a mask or social distancing,”Tweedie said, adding the Museum did shorten the number of hours it is open and is always in need of volunteers to help serve as docents.

The Society ensures that unique exhibits celebrating the achievements of individuals,

Currently, there is an exhibit detailing some of the area’s exceptional women.

The exhibits change periodically. Free programs are offered throughout the year featuring topics of local interest.

Paso Robles Voters Adopt Measure J-20

Special Council meeting set for Nov. 12 to discuss next steps STAFF REPORT PASO ROBLES – Paso Robles voters adopted Measure J-20 by a 56.3% to 43.7% margin, as reported in the County’s Nov. 9 unofficial election results.

Funds from the measure will go toward fire protection and paramedic services, emergency preparedness, police services, streets maintenance and repair, school protective services (such as school resource officers), or other local priorities that the community may identify.

“Once again we have shown we are the ‘can-do’ community,” said Paso Robles Mayor Steve Martin.

“This decision provides significant resources critical to our efforts to enhance public safety, maintain and improve our quality of life, and repair our streets. Citizens should be proud of the investment they have made in our future.”

Measure J-20 is a one-cent local sales tax, not a home

or property tax. Sales tax is not applied to prescription medicine or food purchased as groceries, and out-of-town visitors pay about 40% of sales tax in Paso Robles. Funds generated by Measure J-20 stay local in Paso Robles; the County or State can take none.

Measure J-20 requires citizen oversight by the City’s Supplemental Tax Oversight Committee or a separately appointed committee, which will review Measure J-20 revenue and expenditures. The Committee is required to make regular reports to the community and City Council.

The City Council will be discussing Measure J-20 and the next steps, including the Oversight Committee, at a special meeting on Nov. 12. The agenda will be posted at prcity.com Tuesday, Nov. 10, afternoon.

“I would like to sincerely thank the voters for the trust they placed in us. Our residents provide the overall direction for the City; they are in charge. It was an important decision for the community to make in this unique election year and one that, in California, only the voters can make. We look forward to working with the community over the coming months and years to ensure these special funds are spent wisely on only the community’s highest priorities,” said City Manager Tom Frutchey.

The Measure J-20 Sales Tax goes into effect on April 1, 2021, and the City anticipates beginning to receive revenues a month or two later. For more information about Measure J-20, visit prcity.com/J20.

Community Supports Paso Robles Scout Troops by Purchasing Pallet Flags STAFF REPORT PASO ROBLES — Paso Robles Scout Troops 60 and 1602 loaded handcrafted pallet flags into the back of trucks and cars on Saturday, Nov. 7, at the Scout Hut. The Troops refurbished the old wood pallets and creatively painted them to look like American flags and sold them to raise funds for activities like summer camp. The pallets were donated and Lowe’s donated paint and supplies.

“We tried to think of a fundraiser that they could do in small groups to match up with the COVID-19 restrictions,” said Rick Unger, Assistant Scoutmaster Troop 60. “This was something that we could set them up and do in small groups. It’s patriotic, which is certainly one of the aims of Scouting. This is an opportunity to help fund some of their activities for the year.”

The pallet flags were sold for $50 and available for pickup on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Scout Hut, officially the Esteemed Eagle Lodge, located at 2247 Oak St. on the corner of Oak and 23rd streets in Paso Robles.

Templeton Area Squad Club, Rooster’s Firearms Organize Fundraisers for CHP Tech Kennedy Fighting Cancer STAFF REPORT TEMPLETON — In August, CHP Templeton Area Auto Tech Pete Kennedy was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer and is undergoing aggressive treatment to battle this horrible disease.

Kennedy is a single father of two daughters, has worked for the CHP for over 20 years and is a beloved member of the Shandon community and CHP Templeton Area family.

To help ease the financial burden associated with ongoing medical treatment, the Templeton Area Squad Club 740 has organized a drive-thru barbecue and raffle fundraiser. This event is scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 13, at 11 a.m.

The barbecue will include Santa Maria-style tri-tip, beans, salad, bread, dessert, and a soft drink.

The barbecue tickets are $15 each and delivery may be an option.

The raffle includes a $1,000 Visa gift card (donated by D&S), a Glock Model 19, 9mm handgun (donated by Rooster’s Firearms), a Yeti Tundra 45 hard cooler, a Green Mountain BBQ Grill, an Oso Libre Winery basket, a See’s Candy basket, two $100 gift certificates to Cowgirl Café, and more great prizes.

Raffle tickets are being sold for $20 each or seven for $100.

Tickets can be purchased in person at the Templeton CHP and SLO CHP Offices, at Rooster’s Firearms in Templeton, or via Venmo @CHP-740, call the office and leave contact information. For any questions, call 805-434-1822.

“Unfortunately, this year they’ve lost out on most of their traditional fundraisers,” Unger said. “They normally help with parking at the California Mid-State Fair and they do a barbecue. They help with a number of community events that are sometimes fundraisers, sometimes just as service because they do a great deal of service in the community.”

COVID-19 did not take everything away. Veterans Day is Nov. 11, and the local Scouts were out early Saturday morning, putting flags out at the Paso Robles District Cemetery. They will be putting flags up around Downtown Wednesday morning and retrieving them that night.

Unger said the idea for the fundraiser came after Scouts from Paso Robles Troop 60 and Troop 1602 from left to right Logan Gard, Cassidy Gard, Rachel Phillips, seeing Scouts in Texas do something similar.

THS Drama Streams Lively ‘Pride and Prejudice’ as Antidote to Pandemic STAFF REPORT TEMPLETON — Templeton High School Theatre Arts presents “Pride and Prejudice,” a romantic comedy by Kate Hamill based on the novel by Jane Austen. One of Austen’s most popular novels, it tells the story of the spirited Elizabeth Bennet and her reluctant beau, Mr. Darcy.

Directed by Templeton theatre arts instructor Catherine Kingsbury, the play will be streaming online Nov. 12-14 and Nov. 20-21.

Tickets are available at ShowTix4U. com/event-details/41277 at $15 per person or $45 per family. Ticket sales are a way to support the Theatre Arts program at THS. Set in Regency England during the last years of the Napoleonic Wars, “Pride and Prejudice” follows

the engaging war of words and wit between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy as they dance around one another both literally and metaphorically. In fact, it is at a dance that Elizabeth first meets Mr. Darcy, directly after hearing him exclaim to his friend Mr. Bingley that she is “not handsome enough to tempt me.” Although she laughs to her friend Charlotte about the incident, the war is on.

In writing the stage version of one of literature’s most popular heroines, Hamill has perfectly captured the vivacious Elizabeth in all her outspoken glory. And while “Pride and Prejudice” is often mistakenly seen as merely a romance, it is considered a brilliant satire of social class and manners, a truth which Hamill brings to the fore in a sparkling and effervescent show that is as relevant

today as it was in Austen’s time.

The Templeton High School Theatre Program fosters skills and knowledge of theatre arts and nurtures personal growth and creativity in students through educational theatre. The program also

entertains and educates its audiences with a wide variety of plays and performances from many eras and genres. THS Theatre Arts actively promotes community involvement in theatre as a life-long endeavor.

theatre teacher and director stems from being a high school educator first. It’s important to her that the students learn skills and information that will help them at the next level of their education or career training — whatever that may be. If they want to pursue a career in theatre, then they will be well prepared.

If they’re going to pursue a career in anything else, they will also be prepared with good communication skills and work ethics, especially working in a team environment.

Although the students will miss interacting with a live audience, performing for the camera and streaming an event is just another learning opportunity for these resourceful students. For more information, call the THS Drama Boosters at 805-591-4770, or go to their website at templetondrama.org.

The Multifamily Housing Development (MHD) department leads the project management of Peoples’ Self-Help Housing’s affordable rental housing.

SAN LUIS OBISPO — Since 1989, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s Office has been giving away bicycles during the holiday season.

And in that spirit of giving, it is currently seeking donations for the Christmas Bicycle Giveaway.

As a result of the pandemic this year, we will only have one date and location for the bicycle giveaway. It will be held on Thursday, Dec. 10, at 9 a.m. at the Sheriff ’s Honor Farm, 880 Oklahoma Ave., San Luis Obispo. If you would like to request a bike, request an application from the e-mail address listed below or go to the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s Office website, slosheriff.org.

This program was set up 31 years ago to promote the holiday spirit by giving away refurbished bicycles and new helmets to children in need in San Luis Obispo County. Due to the generosity of this county’s people, the program has continued to be a big success.

Currently, the Sheriff ’s Office Honor Farm is the assembly point for bicycles that are donated and in need of repair. Inmates who are housed at the Honor Farm make the repairs. The program instills in the inmates a positive work ethic, self-respect and a sense of worth to the community.

Again, as a result of the pandemic, new bicycles, replacement parts and accessories are in short supply this year. The Sheriff ’s Office is seeking the public’s help by asking for new bicycles, new helmets or monetary donations for replacement parts. Individuals and businesses who wish to donate new children’s bicycle helmets in their original packaging can bring the helmet to any of the Sheriff ’s Office Patrol stations or the Sheriff ’s Honor Farm located on Highway 1.

If you would like to make a monetary contribution for the purchase of parts or helmets, send a check to: Sheriff ’s Advisory Foundation Attn:

TEMPLETON — Posada Ambulatory Surgery Center, a Templeton-based outpatient surgery facility, was recognized by Newsweek as one of America’s Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers. The news follows the announcement of a new, unmatched outpatient joint program, where patients can recover at home with minimal pain due to multi-modal anesthesia and minimally invasive surgery.

“Knowing that we are among the top ambulatory surgery centers in America on the prestigious Newsweek list is nothing short of amazing,” said Dr. William Sima, Managing Partner of Posada Ambulatory Surgery Center. “It reminds us that we are doing so much more than simply providing care to our patients; we are maintaining our extremely high standards of care so that patients can receive surgery and recover in a high-quality, relaxing environment.”

Posada Ambulatory Surgery Center is a multi-specialty surgical facility established in 2003 and performs more than 2,000 procedures per year. Patients from across California come to Posada Surgery Center for same-day surgeries and

One of the most enticing offerings from Posada Ambulatory Surgery Center is the Outpatient Total Joint Program.

Because of this unique program, patients can walk, with little-to-no pain, within two hours of their surgery. The patient can go home after being personally evaluated by a physical therapist and avoid staying the night with a roommate in the hospital.

“Our patients generally don’t have much pain and are back to their active lifestyles quickly after completing the Outpatient Total Joint Program,” continued Dr. Sima. “We hope that by appearing on the Newsweek list, we’re able to help even more people to heal quickly and peacefully.”

STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s Office, along with San Luis Obispo County, announced it is a recipient of the 2020 Challenge Award from the California State Association of Counties (CSAC).

In the category of “Administration of Justice and Public Safety,” San Luis Obispo County won for the Sheriff ’s Office Behavioral Health Incentive Program. This program is committed to reducing the number of days individuals with severe mental illness are in County Jail and provide them with tools to increase their positive social interactions and decrease recidivism rates.

The Incentive Program rewards inmates when they practice proper hygiene, clean their cells, assist in cleaning shared/common areas, engage in programs offered, exercise, attend mental/ medical health appointments, and interact with others.

The Incentive Program has resulted in a significant decrease in the number of jail assaults,

while at the same time, it has greatly reduced the time inmates have been placed in isolation cells.

“We have made significant positive changes in our Jail in the way we manage our mentally ill population,” said SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson. “I am pleased we have been recognized by a statewide organization for this honor, which only serves to reinforce our dedication to this issue as we strive to keep improving.”

To make this program possible, the County Jail reorganized the housing placement of inmates, trained staff for specialized positions, and contracted with the California Department of State Hospitals to implement a Jail Based Competency Treatment Program ( JBCT), which is designed to provide care, treatment and services to assist patients in becoming competent to stand trial.

This year CSAC received a record 363 entries from counties throughout California. San Luis Obispo County was only one of three counties in the state to receive recognition in this category.

California State Parks Graduates 42 New Rangers and 8 Lifeguards in 2020 STAFF REPORT SACRAMENTO — In partnership with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW ) and before a virtual audience of family members and friends, California State Parks graduated nine cadets to park rangers in a ceremony held earlier this month by the CDFW Academy.

The new rangers will join the 33 rangers and eight lifeguards who graduated in July 2020 from State Parks’ Basic Visitor Services Training (BVST) Academy.

“Serving the public as a ranger or lifeguard in California’s State Park

System is a privilege of a lifetime,” said State Parks Director Armando Quintero. “Even amid the COVID-19 pandemic and wildfires that continue to affect our beautiful state, these new field rangers and lifeguards joined the frontlines of society in providing life-saving and life-protection services for the public. Congratulations and welcome.”

Here is the distribution of rangers and lifeguards from this year’s academies and which park districts they have been placed in: • Angeles – 5 • Bay Area – 1 • Central Valley – 5

and federal law enforcement agencies to provide police protection services within state park units and surrounding communities, and to protect natural, cultural and historical resources for future generations.

With 280 park units, California has the largest state park system in the nation. These units are split into 21 park districts and four divisions (Northern, Central, Coastal and Desert). To date, more than 500 employees serve as rangers or lifeguards under the classification of a state park peace officer.

Before becoming a ranger or lifeguard, individuals need to be accepted

Construction of New SLO County Animal Services Facility Set to Begin STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — The County of San Luis Obispo Department of Public Works will be starting construction on vacant land to the east of the Woods Humane Society on Oklahoma Avenue at the County Operations Center off of State Highway 1.

Construction will start as early as the week of Nov. 9, 2020, and continue through February of 2022.

This project will develop the County’s new Animal Services Facility. When complete, the new 16,000-square-foot facility, associated infrastructure, parking, and landscaping will replace the 43-yearold facility currently operated by

Animal Services. It will provide an appropriate environment for the care of animals and for families to find their new pet. The new facility is being developed under a partnership between the County of San Luis Obispo and all seven incorporated cities within the County.

Impacts to the public and traffic

during construction are expected to be minimal due to the site being away from public streets. Refer to the attached map for specific location.

F&H Construction is responsible for the construction of this project.

This is the first project to be delivered by the County using the DesignBuild project delivery method.

Construction of San Luis Obispo County’s new Animal Services Facility got underway this week in San Luis Obispo. The map above shows where it will be located.

LOCAL NEWS COVID-19 UPDATE

SLO County Reports Alarming Spike in COVID-19 Cases in Recent Days Health officials warn of a backslide as contact tracers work hard to slow the spread STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — San Luis Obispo County is approaching 5,000 COVID-19 cases since March, and local health officials warn that a prolonged spike in cases could result in more State restrictions in the coming weeks.

As of Tuesday, the County’s total cases was 4,846.

The County Public Health Department’s contact tracers are quickly working to investigate the new cases and address outbreaks in local communities in North County and San Luis Obispo.

Officials attribute the spike to a growing fatigue fueled by the months-long pandemic.

“We are all tired of this pandemic, but we can’t afford for our community members to ease up,” said County Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein. “SLO County has been doing so well in recent weeks, and unfortunately, this week we’re seeing a sharp turn in the wrong direction.

Young adults are not immune — a large majority of the new cases are among people between ages 18 and 29, some of whom are ending up in the hospital.”

While past weeks have shown an improvement in case and positivity rates, San Luis Obispo County health officials are noting concerning trends in recent days — 226 new cases were reported over the weekend — Nov. 7-9, including a new single-day high of 128 on Saturday, Nov. 7. SLO County should not exceed 140 cases in a week (or 20 cases per day) to stay in the state’s Red Tier.

“We want to move forward, not backward, and we can turn this around before it negatively impacts the entire county,” said Dr. Borenstein. “Young adults: You know what you need to do.

Wear your face covering, avoid social gatherings with people outside of your social bubble, stay home if you’re sick, and get tested.”

Most cases in SLO County have recovered, but many active cases are among Cal Poly students living off-campus in San Luis Obispo who are gathering without proper safety precautions.

The City of San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly campus residents accounted for 113 new COVID19 cases over the weekend. North County communities had 82 new cases, with Paso Robles accounting for 43.

“We remind all students of the role they play in helping to main-

County Public Health Works with Atascadero State Hospital to Contain Outbreak STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — County of San Luis Obispo Public Health officials are working closely with the Atascadero State Hospital leadership team to manage a COVID-19 outbreak at the facility.

“Our focus is the health and safety of patients and staff as the State works to contain the outbreak,” said County Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein. “Throughout this pandemic, the State hospital has been doing everything it can to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at that facility. Our local public health team continues to support their efforts in every way we can.”

Overseen by the California Department of State Hospitals, the Atascadero State Hospital is following State protocols and successfully isolating and quarantining patients with symptoms or who have tested positive for COVID-19. The department is also tracking patient and staff cases.

Local Public Health officials have also been advising the hospital’s leadership on various health measures to take to slow the spread and prevent a larger outbreak.

Additionally, the facility has a robust testing program for both staff and patients to identify those who are COVID-19 positive and to help prevent the further spread.

“DSH appreciates its partnership with San Luis Obispo County Public Health as it continues to plan, prepare and respond at Atascadero State Hospital to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic,” said Stephanie Clendenin, director of the Department of State Hospitals.

As of Monday, the County reported that 14 patients at the facility had tested positive for COVID-19. Additionally, nine staff members have tested positive for COVID-19 in this recent outbreak. As of Monday, 4,794 SLO County residents have tested positive for COVID-19, most of whom are recovered or recovering at home.

County Public Health officials continue to work closely with communities affected, including officials with Cal Poly and the City of San Luis Obispo, to slow the spread.

Cal Poly is increasing testing among off-campus students who are in the Greek community and in the neighborhoods where clusters of cases have been identified.

Cal Poly is also following plans and procedures to isolate infected students and quarantine exposed students on campus.

No new funding was requested when the Board adopted the plan.

The Stepping Up Strategic Plan was developed by a committee of officials from the County Health Agency, Sheriff-Coroner Office, Superior Court, District Attorney’s Office, Information Technology Department, Probation Department, Public Defender’s

Office, and County Administrative Office.

San Luis Obispo County was named a Stepping Up Innovator County in 2019 for leading the way in reducing the number of people in jail who have a mental illness.

Our Resilient Populace is a matter of common sense and unlike other events of this fine year, this is not unprecedented.

The year 2020 offered us so much, and for those of us with memories that last so long, we have much to remember about how it turned out.

COMMENTARY

he consistent theme that some columnists have stated about dealing with today’s challenges are the themes of avoidance and denial.

When children express anxieties about virtual learning, some writers suggest that the best approach is to pretend that there are no uncertainties. They suggest that adults know exactly how to deal with their education.

They also suggest that there are unknowns with virtual education and that to state otherwise would make the children too anxious.

I believe that just the opposite is true, that being honest with children is reassuring to them. It validates what they are experiencing and acknowledges what they already know, that it is alright not to have all of the answers.

Most importantly, the message

nation of the disease being far less transmittable than thought, as well as the distancing and sanitation individuals applied in their personal lives.

We have much to be proud of as a country with what we faced in 2020.

We are resilient, competent, faithful, determined, and civil. Well, at least enough of us are to keep the rest of

We should remember.

We should journal.

We should archive. the country intact while some throw tantrums. It is a testament to our character.

The year exposed a great deal, including the test of our character.

As I said earlier, we should remember it.

Maya Angelou is credited with saying, "When people show you who

they are, believe them."

For me, I entered 2020 fairly neutral, politically speaking. I believe in people. I believe in the kids, the good nature of a human being, and that the outcome will always side with truth and reason. Prior to 2020, I was not a student of the Civil War. Now, I am well-versed in the formation and actions of both the Democratic Party and Republican Party, from 1838 to the final announcement of end of slavery in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1965.

I found out my great-grandfather fought in the Civil War, with the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment — a squad that is memorialized by a statue at Gettysburg.

But 2020 was not just an education about the past, but an education about our present. I watched national and state leaders, like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Gavin Newsom, Kristi Noem, Jim Jordan, Gretchen Whitmer, Ron DeSantis, Andrew Cuomo, Alexandria Cortez, and

Psychologically Coping with Today’s Challenges

is that the adults in their lives are there for them and that together they will deal with whatever issues arise.

The same approach of avoidance and denial have been suggested for dealing with the current political conflicts.

Some writers suggested that one should engage in non-political activities, not treat things as a catastrophe and limit one’s exposure to what is going on in the world.

While I can understand one being tempted to keep one’s head in the sand, you can make a valid case that if you are informed about what is going on, you are more in control than if you do not know what is going on.

It is reasonable to state that any uncertainties, whether about the coronavirus, finances, health, politics, or whatever, are bound to make any pragmatic person uncomfortable. But, pretending that none of these uncertainties

exist is not a rational approach to life.

Experts, such as the prolific writer in psychosomatic medicine, Dr. Franz Alexander, believed that denial and repression could adversely affect one’s health, specifically contributing to heart disease cases, asthma, arthritis, and many other conditions. I studied under Dr. Franz Alexander at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

As I have stated previously, I am not suggesting doom and gloom, but acknowledging that this is a time when there are many uncertainties in life and that instead of pretending that there are no issues to deal with, one should embrace their feelings, especially those of anxiety.

Recognizing feelings of anger is also appropriate, just as long as you do not act out destructively, either destroying property or injuring others. The appropriate way of dealing with anxieties or anger is to share those feelings verbally,

typically with family members or trusted friends.

While some writers have suggested never to discuss politics with family or friends, suggesting that you should change the subject or leave the room.

I disagree with that advice, believing that reasonable individuals should be able to have discussions, with the goal of really listening and putting effort into attempting to understand the other person’s point of view.

You can agree to disagree without ridiculing others without name-calling or any other actions that could be viewed as disrespectful towards others.

Some helpful techniques are to repeat back to others what they have just told you until they are satisfied that you correctly understand what they have said.

Another hint is to look for any common ground, areas where you can all agree.

As anxious as multiple uncer-

Mitch McConnell work. I listened to them speak. I saw what they believed in. I watched metropolitan mayors like Jacob Frey of Minnesota, Jenny Durkan of Seattle, Ted Wheeler of Portland, Lori Lightfoot of Chicago, and Bill DeBlasio of New York.

I watched our nation's leadership and saw systemic issues that affected me and my family. I continue to be concerned about the future of our community. Not just our little corner of California, but all of California and the nation.

Watching what has happened over the course of 2020, I'm pleasantly pleased with the outcome of our local city election, as well as the elections in the Senate and House of Representatives races.

I'm grateful for all those who voted for me this round, and I have no concrete plans for the future, but I know that we have a lot of work to do.

In the meantime, hug those you love and tell them every day.

tainties can seem, it can be reassuring to remind oneself that there is a light at the end of the tunnel! The coronavirus will not last indefinitely, and our country will survive political unrest and upheaval. Dr. Carl Rogers believed in the inherent ability of individuals to gravitate towards awareness and health. Collectively, this can also be true of our republic.

As a nation, we are strong, and we have survived major wars, depressions, and previous pandemics.

Who in Your Family First Came to America? What’s Their Story?

CONNIE PILLSBURY COMMENTARY

W

ho in your family first came to America? Was it your parents, grandparents, great grandparents, or generations back? What did they go through to leave the land of their birth and make it to these shores? What is their unique story?

At Thanksgiving, it’s a good time to think about why your family came to America. They all had one thing in common, a strong desire for freedom. That desire was worth leaving everything and everyone familiar, worth overcoming

fear of the unknown, worth entering a world where they didn’t read or speak the language, and worth saying goodbye to parents and siblings they may never see again.

The meaning of the word freedom varied for each person. Sometimes it was freedom from corrupt government, poverty, and war, or it was freedom to do what they had been denied. My ancestors on the Mayflower made the months-long voyage in a wooden sailing ship in 1620 from England and Holland for freedom to read the Bible.

They were not allowed to read it and had been imprisoned for having a ‘meeting’ in their home. The cost of freedom was high: half of those who survived the journey died in the first year at Plymouth, including the parents of Priscilla Mullins, my 12th great-grandmother.

Was your family ancestor a farmer from Ireland, Germany, or Sweden? Did they leave former Yugoslavia when it dissolved into

internal wars? Were they workers from Central America or Mexico?

Did they escape Pogroms in Russia or persecution in pre-World War II Germany?

More recently, those shackled under communism, Marxism, and any type of totalitarianism, came for freedom from overreaching governments that controlled every aspect of their lives. Ask any first-generation citizen from the former Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Vietnam, Cuba, or China what they risked to get here and become a citizen.

My friend Iva in San Luis Obispo hiked over the Alps out of Czechoslovakia when she was 19 years old to escape the repressive limitations of communism. A brilliant musician, she knew she would never be able to attend university there because she was Catholic.

She and her boyfriend, a promising young scientist, also Catholic, and his parents, each left their home

separately as if going on an errand, taking different walking routes to an agreed-upon spot to start their long trek. They took no personal items or suitcases to avoid suspicion.

Iva and the family survived the weeks of hiking and made it to Vienna. From there, they came to Cal Tech in Pasadena, where he received a scholarship in aeronautical engineering. Now married with three sons, they do not take their freedom for granted. An American flag flies from their porch every day.

Their story may be different from those in your family who came to the Midwest as farmers from Europe. Maybe they were steelworkers from Slovenia or Poland, seeking a better life. Or think about the young Italians who came from poor villages with no future, arriving in Templeton in the early 1900s for the freedom and opportunity to work hard, purchase small vineyards and become the first growers and

winemakers in the area.

In addition to the concept of freedom from and freedom to, your ancestors and mine had something else in common. They were not people ruled by fear. They did not know all the answers, were not guaranteed success, and knew they would face obstacles. But they were determined to face hardships for the chance to reach the goal: to be masters of their own destiny with the freedom from tyranny and freedom to pursue their dreams.

Our ancestors were courageous just by the fact that they came!

Think of that. The fact that they broke loose from oppression, limitations, and fear and stepped forward to the future is something worth celebrating this Thanksgiving.

They did it! Their story is worth telling.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Voter Intimidation Editor, I am very upset at the way the voting was handled at Atascadero Lake Pavilion, Atascadero. I voted there in person between 2 and 3 p.m. on Nov.3.

I expect to be able to vote in person, which is my right, without being pressured or intimidated in any

way. The gentleman at the first table at the polling place lectured me on the use of the mail-in ballot and even told me that I needed to go home and bring it back. When I finally told him I absolutely would not drive home and pick up the ballot, he finally let me pass. However, he hand-wrote my name on a pad of paper. Why? What was that about? My husband told me he had the same problem with this gentleman.

I did not ask for a mail-in ballot. I do not agree with changing our system to mail-in ballots. I do not trust mail-in ballots. I want to vote in person, which is my right. If I had wanted to mail in my vote, I would have requested an absentee ballot.

This gentleman was rather large and intimidating and not at all pleasant. I’m wondering how many voters he scared off? This feels like voter intimidaA Note About Our

I hope this will not be business as usual in the future.

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.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Andy Rooney said that lee pitts Democrats eat supper before COLUMNIST sundown and Republicans eat t may shock some people dinner after 8. But I haven't eaten to learn that I've never dinner after 8 in my life. Russell eaten supper in my life. Oh Baker said that blue-collar people sure, I've hardly ever missed the eat supper but I've always considevening meal, it's just that in ered myself a blue-collar guy and my house it's called dinner, not like I said, I've never eaten supper. supper. I've traveled to all 50 states He also said that you can tell and believe me, it can get really supper eaters because they faint confusing in the Midwest and dead away if you serve them an deep South where dinner is supper artichoke. and lunch is dinner.

I'm of the belief that, like much As I understand it, dinner was in our society, what word you use traditionally the biggest meal depends on which side of the of the day in the Midwest and Mississippi you live.

Since I thought I was going to a country that spoke English, I passed on language training and for the first two months we lived there, I couldn't understand a single word they said. From the first time I heard "areyourightmate?" to our first invitation to tea, I just went around with a blank stare on my face.

I've loved tea ever since I traveled Texas as a livestock field editor. I got hooked on Texas tea and I've been addicted to iced tea ever since. So when my wife and I were invited to "tea" in Australia, we assumed we'd be drinking a cuppa and maybe eating some scones or crumpets. You can Imagine our surprise when we were eating dinner. Evidently, tea is not only something you drink, it's also something you bite and chew. It gets really confusing when you add Brits into the mix. Or, as the Aussies call them, "bloody POMS." The initials stand for "prisoner's of majesty's service," which gives you an idea of the low regard held for the British in the land down under. The bloody POMS refer to something they

In one of my columns, I told you that Coats for Kids would be different this year due to COVID 19. It is not canceled. However, to keep volunteers and distribution recipients safe, we had to make changes. Please know that our committee will be actively working to deliver warm coats and jackets as we have been doing for the past 32 years.

Please continue to drop off your gently used coats, jackets, sweaters and sweatshirts at any of our four North County cleaners. They will clean the items free of charge and we will pick them up. New items can also be dropped off at any of the cleaners by putting them in a plastic bag and marking it “NEW/Coats for Kids.” We will not be placing drop-off boxes at businesses this year as we have in the past.

For more information, contact me at 805-461-1234 or visit our Facebook page. I will have more details for you next week.

One of our distribution partners in Paso Robles, Toy Bank of Greater Paso Robles, has also made some changes this year.

COLUMNIST

very now and then, you hear or read something that transforms how you move through the world.

I remember sitting in a Landmark Education leadership program, listening attentively, eager to absorb all that was being said about learning to live and lead a powerful life.

At one point, the facilitator mentioned how restoring integrity to your word makes you unstoppable. The 70 other attendees in the room shouted back the word powerfully, “UNSTOPPABLE!” I felt a chill up my neck and the tingling of my arm hairs standing up. It’s moments

like these that are unforgettable.

I knew the visceral feeling this created in me would be a reference point in my future.

A few months later, I was teaching a class as an internship for Ministerial School. On the night of the first class, I taught the students to say, “UNSTOPPABLE” in unison whenever they heard me say it. We practiced a few times, and it was easy and powerful.

It was unplanned, and when it happened, I had the same experience of a chill up my neck and the tingling of my arm hairs standing up. Everyone in the room felt it, and we all sat for a moment together, feeling the awe and power of being unstoppable.

A few ways to cultivate an unstoppable mindset in your life: Be unwavering in your faith amid any undesirable conditions and circumstances you may face.

Allow everyone, including

yourself, to be transformed in your presence. Meaning that regardless of the person you met yesterday, allow that very same person to be created fresh and new before you today. Treat people as if you are meeting them for the first time, every day.

Take the mental energy spent on the story you have written about yourself and others and use it to create a world in which you would love to live. For example, the commentator, the judger, the complainer — who would you be without those voices? You would be free to create anything you want for yourself and your life powerfully.

Remember that whatever people say about you is not about you — it never is. It is about them. That includes the seeming good comments and the seeming bad comments. When you get this, you will be unmoved by either of them because you believe

call "high tea," which you and I call dinner or supper, and low tea is lunch. There is also something they call afternoon tea in which the participants get snockered on Sherry from 3:30 to 5.

You may think I'm making too much commotion about all this dinner versus supper thing but I've seen it destroy households. I'm thinking of one particular "mixed marriage" where the husband, being a farmer from the Midwest, called dinner supper and the wife, from California, insisted on eating dinner. The marriage didn't last as long as the garage sale toaster someone gave them for a wedding present. (What did you expect us to get them, a complete set of sterling silver?) I knew the marriage had too much to overcome and wouldn't last and I wasn't about to invest that much money in it.

In the final analysis, I think I've come up with a solution we can all live by. Forget dinner, or supper if you insist, and skip right to dessert. We all know what that is.

Right?

in yourself and are now unstoppable.

You are so in touch with your soul’s purpose on this planet that nothing can stop you from becoming who you came here to be. You allow your radiant light to shine brightly to all. You do not listen to the naysayers or negative nellies anymore.

Standing in harmony with Spirit, you are tuned in, tapped in, and connected. The path is laid out before you; you listen to your intuition and take action on the guidance received from your Highest Self, which is your Innermost Self, your God-Self - the Self within all selves.

You are unstoppable.

UNSTOPPABLE! And so it is.

Honoring Our Local Heroes W

Henry Barba (left front), 107 and Harold Lowe (right front), 101, both grew up in San Luis Obispo County and later lived only a few blocks from each other in Santa Margarita. Both WWII Veterans. Contributed photos

Henry Barba served in WWII but that wasn’t the case for many of his family and friends who saw the many horrors in the Pacific and Europe.

Pre WWII, around 1940, Harold and Ginny were 17 years old and dating.

Between 1942 and 1944, Harold was in the Army and stationed in Australia. During that time, he saw combat in New Guinea

orld War II ended 75 years ago on May 7, 1945, and despite how long ago some of us may think that was, there are still some veterans of WWII who remember their time in the war as it was yesterday.

Harold Lowe, 101, and Henry Barba, 107, both grew up in San Luis Obispo County and later lived only a few blocks from each other in Santa Margarita.

Harold and Henry are both WWII veterans, and both have impeccable memories.

The two have been great friends through their many years of knowing each other.

“Henry and I are great buddies because we’re the only natives in Margarita; I think that we lived here in this county all our lives,” Harold shared.

Harold Lowe was born July 17, 1919, in San Luis Obispo. He grew up with Alex Madonna, who liked to play a few pranks here and there on Harold. Despite embarrassing Harold in front of the entire girls’ locker room, the two remained close friends until Madonna died in 2004.

Lowe was in one of the first drafts and only 21 at the time. Which he was always a little suspicious of since his ex-girlfriend was on the draft board, and it was not a happy breakup! But looking back, he said she was a lovely girl, and he might have brought it upon himself!

Luckily though, Lowe soon met the love of his life, Virginia “Ginny” Mae Cheda of San Luis Obispo. Ginny stayed by his side throughout the entire war, and the two were married on July 1, 1944, just a few days after he got returned home. They’ve been married 76 years and counting!

Lowe was sent to Fort Lewis, Washington, for boot camp and was enlisted with the 162nd Infantry. After the Pearl Harbor Attack in 1941, he was deployed on March 1, 1944.

Along with the 641st Tank Destroyer Battalion and 41st Reconnaissance Troop, the groups left the Brooklyn Navy Yard and sailed for the Pacific through the Panama Canal heading for Australia.

The troops arrived in Melbourne, Australia, on April 9, 1944. Later they were moved to a camp outside of Seymour, AUS. Lowe laughed as he described the camp as more of a sheep field where they pitched a tent.

For a while, the American and Australian troops got along, but after more Australians were fighting overseas, the Aussie women were getting more friendly with the Americans. Let’s say it didn’t go over very well with Aussie soldiers.

Tension grew between the two troops, but reality hit everyone when they finally shipped out and moved into New Guinea.

“When we were in New Guinea, we were fighting two people—We lost over 50% of our men within a couple of weeks,”

By Camille DeVaul

Lowe recalled.

Along with fighting their mutual enemy, the Japanese army, the troops battled various diseases, including malaria.

Lowe contracted malaria and was eventually sent home after being overseas for 28 months.

After a long trip back home and some trouble with rotten tomatoes, Howard finally made it back to his beloved Ginny.

They married just a few days later.

The couple had two children, Pattie and Jim, born in 1946 and 1947.

Howard decided to leave the army behind him and become a carpenter for roughly 35 years. He built his own house in Santa Margarita and even helped build the infamous Madonna Inn. If you thought Howard’s memory was good, let me introduce you to his friend Henry Barba.

Barba was born 107 years ago on October 19, 1913, in a home that still stands in Santa Margarita. But for the first two weeks of his life, he was known as Everett until his mother changed her mind.

Barba’s parents were Mauricio Barba of San Luis Obispo and Catherine Walters of Arroyo Grande. The two married and built their home in Santa Margarita on five acres in 1900. Henry Barba was one of seven surviving children. His parents buried six children, including Henry’s twin sister Henrietta who died during infancy.

Like most in the area at the time, Barba grew up farming and ranching.

As a young child, Barba worked on the Santa Margarita Ranch. He helped Freddy Higuera (yes, the same family as Higuera Street in SLO) put leather collars on the 10 and 20 mule teams which pulled the harvesters.

In 1936, Barba, his cousin Juaquin Miller and a friend filled a large barn (also still standing) to the top with hay. That’s a successful hay season!

Barba met his future wife, Jesse Hampton, when they were kids. Jesse’s family owned a large ranch near the Rinconada Mine. Being six years Jesse’s senior, Barba would joke with her brother that one day he would marry Jesse, take over the family ranch, and throw the rest of the family off it!

Barba did end up marrying Jesse, but instead of taking the family ranch, they had one child together, a son named Raymond Barba, born December 14, 1941.

Henry Barba comes from a long line of military men, going back as early as the Civil War. Many died in action and are buried in many Central Coast Cemeteries.

And in 1940, it was Barba’s turn to follow in the footsteps of the men before him.

In 1940 Barba was drafted into the U.S. Army. When he heard he was drafted, it was no surprise. All he thought was, “Well,… this is it.”

Then Barba headed to basic training at

Camp McQuaid in Watsonville, CA. He was assigned to the 250th Coast Artillery Battery G, also known as the Glamour Boys, and off he went to Kodiak Island, Alaska.

Despite the cold, life in Kodiak wasn’t so bad. The troops lived in tents, but coffee was always hot, and they got three square meals a day.

But Barba came from poverty. He was lucky to get one, sometimes two meals a day. His family didn’t take assistance or food stamps. So for someone who came from hardships like that, camp life wasn’t so bad.

In 1941 it was declared that anyone ages 29 and older were to be sent back to Seattle and discharged. Barba just missed the cut being 29 years old at the time. However, it turned out that it did not matter because, on December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was bombed.

When the war finally ended in Europe, Barba felt happy and proud. When the war ended in the Pacific, where his brothers and friends were stationed, he was elated.

Henry Barba made it through WWII unscathed. But that wasn’t the case for many of his family and friends who saw the many horrors in the Pacific and Europe.

One friend, Joe McKuzick, a Santa Margarita native, survived the Bataan Death March. Barba’s grandson Daniel Barba remembers hearing Joe talk about the horrors of the march.

And another Santa Margarita friend, Frank Oster, who made it back from Europe.

But two boys from the Pozo area did not come back alive. Charles R Vaca, CPL 363 Infantry, April 19, 1923 - July 9, 1944, and David L Vaca, PFC 363 Infantry, August 10, 1923 - September 14, 1944, both died at the age of 21 in Sicily right before the end of WWII. They are buried in the Santa Margarita Cemetery, but their story still remains a mystery. No one knows who they were or how they died.

It is not very often you get to speak to people like Harold Lowe and Henry Barba.

They have seen the country in some of the best times and also the worst. Incredibly, they remember it all. Every date (month, day, and year mind you), they remember what it felt like and all the people that were around them during that time.

It truly was a privilege to be able to tell the stories of Lowe and Barba. Many of us take people like them for granted these days. And I hope that even after Veteran’s Day, we can appreciate people like Harold Lowe and Henry Barba a bit more.

The full story can be read in the November issues of Colony and Paso Robles Magazines. A special thanks to Danny Barba and the Santa Margarita Historical Society for their help with this article.

Johnson served for nearly 22 years before retiring from the Navy in 1979. He entered the Navy Flight Training program in Pensacola, Fla., in January 1958 as a Naval Aviation Cadet (NAVCAD). He received his wings and commission in July 1959 — the same year he married his wife, Helen.

In October 1966, on one of his two Vietnam deployments, Johnson was on board the carrier USS Oriskany — The Mighty O — when one of the worst shipboard fires since World War II broke out on the ship when a magnesium flare was accidentally ignited, and 44 men died.

Since retiring, Johnson has been the director of a Christian military retreat center for eight years, a business consultant for 15 years, and the CEO-president of the county’s economic development corporation (EVC).

“This was a surprise. I had no idea anything like this was happening. All I can say is thank you very much,” Fonzi II said before recalling serving in Iraq with his son and thanking his wife. “I just want to say the hardest job in any military service is being a military wife, and I want to give special thanks to my wife, Roberta. It is very lonely out there, but you always know there is someone back home who is holding it all together. It has been a privilege to be your husband.”

Fonzi II is a retired US Army Lt. Col. and intelligence officer with over 36 years of military service, including enlisted and commissioned service.

Fonzi’s military service includes multiple combat tours in Vietnam and Iraq with various assignments during the Cold War, including duty with Army Special Forces

ing. Plans were finalized and construction by R.O. Summers began in late 1907. The cornerstone was laid and the Library was dedicated on June 19, 1908.

In February of 1995, through overwhelming community support, much like that which supported the Carnegie’s construction, the new Paso Robles City Library was dedicated. The 28,686 square foot structure, with the City Hall offices on the second floor, was completed, and the books were moved from the Carnegie across the street to their new home.

In 1997, City turned over the stewardship of the Carnegie Library to the El Paso de Robles Area Historical Society.

There are a few changes underway in the Museum.

The corner gift shop is being replaced by an extensive display dedicated to the land’s history, people and winemaking to Paso Robles. Tweedie said to be watching for that early in 2020.

PRJUSD for the services. The county will be providing two student support counselors, two family advocates and two youth development specialists.

Superintendent Curt Dubost addressed parent concerns about transportation not being available to take students to school from areas like San Miguel and Heritage Ranch because they are moving into a hybrid schedule.

Dubost explained it boils down

to a lack of drivers. Due to drivers retiring or unable to return to work, the District has a massive shortage of drivers.

Dubost said, “If anybody out there, a parent in Heritage who is desperate and needs a part-time job, and would like to become a bus driver, come see us, please.”

Once the District has drivers, a transportation system will be put in place for students needing it.
