Paso Robles City Council Does Not Make Cuts to Services

By BRIAN WILLIAMS brian@pasoroblespress.com

T

By CAMILLE DeVAUL For The Paso Robles Press PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles City Council held off making cuts to City services during Tuesday’s meeting for now.

As directed by Council at the previous meeting, staff brought back recommendations to close projected budget gap without impacting public safety and public works departments in the current fiscal year from revenue losses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

The City is projecting needing to cut between $1 million and $3 million, depending on the outcome of a 1-percent sales tax increase on the November ballot.

Concern Recreation and Library services would be reduced drastically or cut from the budget altogether swirled in the community in the days leading up to the Council meeting.

Several residents called during the discussion of the agenda item asking the Council to keep Recreation and Library services intact.

After much discussion, the Council motioned for City departments outside of public safety to come back to the city manager with budget reductions that can be made in the future in their department.

Council approved the motion 3-2, with Mayor Steven Martin and Councilman Fred Strong both voting no.

Strong and Martin agreed that the City could not make any more reductions as they are already working with minimum staff.

Paso Robles Fire Chief Jonathan Stornetta gave the City’s COVID19 update. Paso Robles remains the top in the total number of cases for San Luis Obispo County.

SLO County remains in the state’s purple tier, the most restricted of the four levels. The County has had 3,293.

On the upside, the County has gone below the purple tier’s daily average and is close to moving into the red tier.

While the County is in a hopeful spot right now, Councilman John Hamon expressed concern.

“I believe these numbers are truly going to be unachievable, this virus is going to be around for a while, and with the bars that are set here, I don’t CONTINUED ON PAGE A15

he Assistance League of San Luis Obispo County is celebrating 25 years as a chapter. For a quarter of a century now, its members have been doing something they love — helping children.

“We had a wonderful group of women in the Guild, who worked as a ‘team’ with the sole purpose of forming Assistance League of San Luis Obispo County,” said founding board member Barbie Butz, of Atascadero.

“Now, here we are 25 years later, looking back at our chapter and thanking you for your membership and for believing in what we do for our communities and our children.”

Butz was the SLO chapter’s first president, serving in that capacity for nearly three months. It received chapter status in March of 1996.

Assistance League of SLO County’s roots go back to 1991 when it was first a “Guild.”

On Nov. 21, 1991, the Assistance Guild of San Luis Obispo County, a future chapter of the National Assistance League, was formed

with 32 active members from throughout the county.

The first board of directors of the Guild included President Caroline Craven, Vice President Membership Kathy Metcalf, Vice President Philanthropic Projects Linda Breshears, Assistant Vice President Philanthropic Projects Butz, Vice President Fundraising Claryce Knupper, Corresponding Secretary Camilla Colgrave, Recording Secretary Gladys Fiske, Treasurer Bonnie Gromacki, and Guild Liaison Anne Slocum.

Craven was Guild president for two years — 1991-92 and 1992-93, Fiske followed in 1993-94, and Butz was president in 1994-95 and 1995-96.

“During the 5 years of building the chapter, we met in private homes, the school cafeteria at Teach School, the San Luis Obispo Library, Pacific Kitchen and Bath (owned by the Metcalfs) where we sat on everything in the display room, including the demonstration toilets and bathtubs,” Butz said.

Later on, they met at San Luis Jr. High and CONTINUED ON PAGE A15

North County Womenade Donates Almost $30K To Local Families in 2020

By CONNOR ALLEN connor@pasoroblespress.com NORTH COUNTY — North County Womenade, a local nonprofit organization that raises money for local families that need financial assistance, has continued to serve the North County throughout the pandemic, donating nearly $30,000 in 2020.

North County Womenade was founded in 2019 as a coalition of human service agencies, faith communities, and big-hearted people giving direct care to neighbors in critical need in the name of bringing the community closer together.

The North County chapter comes from its predecessor’s spirit, Womenade in San Luis Obispo, founded in 2002 by local teacher Sandy Richardson.

Richardson read an article in “Real Simple” magazine about physicians that wanted to help lower-income patients that couldn’t afford medical devices like wheelchairs, and the idea was born. Richardson began organizing potluck dinners, asking friends to bring $35 (or

Pioneer Day Committee Announces Paso Robles Awards COVID-19 Small Business Grants 33 local businesses awarded grants, representing more than 200 local jobs Cancellation of Annual Parade STAFF REPORT PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles Pioneer Day Committee Board of Directors announced their decision to cancel the Pioneer Day Parade, which was scheduled to take place on Saturday, Oct. 10, due to COVID-19.

“This decision did not come easily or hastily, as we continued to hope the State restrictions would be lifted in adequate time for us to move forward with our annual celebration. We take very seriously the health and welfare of our supporters, participants, Committee Members, and Board. Due to the current state mandates on gatherings, we determined this would be in the best interest of all parties involved,” the committee shared on their Facebook page.

Their statement continued, “We encourage everyone to visit our local merchants and businesses on what would have been our 90th year, on Oct. 10. Please continue to support them through this difficult time and make this a day of remembering those who came before us and started this event. Rest assured, as we begin preparing for our 91st celebration, next year, the Paso Robles Pioneer Day Committee is dedicated to putting on our best parade yet, scheduled for Oct. 9, 2021.”

The Paso Robles Pioneer Day Committee has been dedicated to promoting and preserving the historical roots and traditions of the Paso Robles area since 1931.

To find out more about the parade or to donate to show your support, visit pasoroblespioneerday.org.

STAFF REPORT PASO ROBLES — The City of Paso Robles awarded 33 COVID19 Small Business Grants, utilizing $200,000 in federal CARES Act funds to provide one-time grant funding.

The program was created to support local economic recovery by helping businesses address COVID-19 impacts and retain their employees.

The program was announced on Aug. 7 and the deadline to apply was Aug. 23. The City received over 100 applications, with grant requests totaling over $1 Million, far exceeding the $200,000 in available CARES Act

funds.

Each application was carefully reviewed by a selection committee to ensure each grantee met the program criteria. In total, 33 local businesses in various locations, ranging in size from 1 to 21 employees, were selected to receive a grant.

These awarded grant funds support a combined total of 209 local jobs across various business sectors, including food service, child daycare, hair salons, retail, non-profits, tech services, and more.

“While many cities are using their federal CARES Act funding allocation solely to reimburse City pandemic response costs, we felt it essential to use

the majority of Paso Robles’ funds to support the businesses that form the foundation of Paso’s local economy,” Mayor Steve Martin said. “We only wish we had sufficient funds to meet the broader needs that exist, and I encourage local residents to continue to support Paso businesses.”

Per CARES Act guidelines, the grant funds can be used for documented business operations expenses such as rent or mortgage, payroll, utilities, insurance, loan payments related to running the business, to name a few.

Grant recipients will be required to provide basic reporting to the City on how grant funds were utilized.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Residents Concerned with Future of Paso Robles Recreation and Library Services There was some concern that Recreation and Library services provided by the City of Paso Robles would be reduced or cut altogether at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. The Paso Robles Press received emails from the public that were also sent to the City Council ahead of Tuesday’s meeting.

Recreation Services are Essential Editor, Dear City Council members, I urge you to stop your plan to remove the Recreation Services from Paso Robles! My wife and I have loved Paso Robles in large part because of Recreation Services. The people, the classes and the Concerts in the Park on Thursdays are all wonderful things that Rec Services provides. They have helped us become part of the community.

Since we’ve been here, we’ve taken advantage of their aquatics classes, arts and crafts classes as date nights and almost daily use of either Barney Schwartz, Centennial or City parks.

Please save this essential service! Paso Robles Rec. Service rocks!

Chris and Cindi Byleckie Paso Robles Cutting Library and Recreation Services Editor, Really??!! Rethink cutting the Library and Recreation Services. These are services for the people of the City. We can go along a bumpy road but cannot go through this isolation we are all experiencing without some connection to each other.

Speaking of a bumpy road, why was Union Street resurfaced when it did not need it. There were no chug holes, no bumps, no deterioration on that street, yet it was resurfaced at the cost of thousands. Why and who suggested spending money on that resurfacing and then want to cut services for the people?

Even though we are unable to be indoors together right now, soon we will be back in the Library.

Know that there are even some recreational classes currently held outdoors. Recreational instructors have been dedicated and until facilities can be totally open, you have the power to keep it open along with those employees. Remember that the City does receive 30% income from all classes registered through the Recreation department.

Children need access to those books and activities — we all do. We need to keep our city employees working for the good of Paso Strong.

Step up and do the right thing — keep Library and Recreation Services intact.

Faye Baker Paso Robles

Recreation Services is Valuable Editor, My name is Cristina Mathers and I have been teaching cooking classes to children and adults at Recreation Services for the past 4 years. I am also a parent and am the Student Services Specialist for the San Miguel Joint Unified School District.

I believe that Recreation Services provides services that are a hugely valuable asset to this community and I urge you to reconsider any decision that would cut funding.

Recreation Services is an incredibly beneficial resource for children and adults in our community.

During these uncommon and uncertain times when nothing is concrete, and things are ever-changing, Recreation Services has done an excellent job providing the classes and services that our community looks forward to and so desperately needs.

Recreation Services collaborated with over 40 independent contractors who are local small business owners and entrepreneurs to provide over 5,000 recreation class opportunities for over 3,000 community members in the 2018/2019 fiscal year.

Not only do those independent contractors rely on Recreation Services as a source of income, but their students depend on them as a source of education, enrichment, and entertainment.

2020 Fall classes are in the works and have many community members already enrolled for classes starting this month. If these classes were to be canceled, I can’t imagine the disappointment that would be felt by not only the independent contractors who love teaching these classes but by the community members who benefit from them.

Nothing is “normal” right now. Our way of life is constantly changing right now, but through it all, Recreation Services has done an outstanding job of keeping some normalcy for our community, especially our children. I ask you with all due respect to please consider these things when making any decisions about the future of Recreation Services.

Cristina Mathers Paso Robles

Senior Center, and Centennial Park facilities. We have lost so much of what makes this a wonderful city — theater, outdoor festivals, music, museums, etc. Let’s keep this a wonderful city and provide essential services for the well being of our citizens. If necessary, consider defunding the homeless camp and putting the funds to use to better people who live and work here and pay our taxes.

Jan Foss Paso Robles Dropping Rec Services a Disservice Editor, I am a yoga instructor at Parks and Recreation Services in the City of Paso Robles. I have been teaching there since May 2018, when I took over for Doris Lance.

I view Parks and Rec services as “essential” as this department provides classes with healthy stress-reduction techniques, which are crucial to negotiate the uncertainty of COVID-19. Since the first of June, PR Parks and Recreation has provided 44 outdoor classes at Centennial Park, so we teachers have been able to help citizens of Paso Robles, 12.8% of which are between 50 and 59 years of age, cope with the restrictions and reality of this virus.

I’ve taught yoga in three other Parks and Rec Departments in my 30-plus-years of teaching yoga, and I have found PR’s Parks and Rec department to be extremely well-run. They are organized, forward-thinking, have a positive attitude and demonstrate ongoing concern for the well-being of their staff and citizens of Paso Robles.

To reduce or discontinue their services would be a total disservice to the community of Paso Robles.

Debbie Stevens Paso Robles

We Need Recreation Services Editor, I am writing to express my dismay and disbelief that the city council would consider cutting Recreation Services, especially at this time when so much has already been taken away from us due to Maintain Vital Social Services COVID-19. The people of Paso Robles need our Editor, Recreation Services now more than ever!

I am a citizen of Paso Robles, writing to encourWhen COVID-19 first caused shutdowns, my age the City Council to maintain the vital social husband said I became like a caged tiger because services to our community, including the Library, I couldn’t attend my Zumba Gold class. He was

joking, but that’s actually how I felt! It’s so important to get regular exercise to maintain physical fitness, emotional well-being and reduce stress, but we need our recreation department to continue offering these opportunities. We need to have something enjoyable to look forward to and the department of recreation fills that need, not only for seniors but all ages.

The staff and class instructors at Centennial Park have gone above and beyond to accommodate guidelines for safety when classes were able to resume under given restrictions.

Please, do not even consider taking this away from us during this time when we’ve lost so much already. As my husband says, “chocolate only does so much.”

Michelle D’Antonio Paso Robles Library Makes Paso Robles Great Editor, It is my understanding that due to budget shortfalls, the Paso Robles Public Library may be closing. The Library is what defines Paso Robles as a great family town and a big part of what draws people to live here. We are not that family-friendly focused town without it.

Not just families rely on the Library, but for seniors, it is essential. Many seniors rely on the Library for computers, DVDs, books and programs. Low-income families will also be hurt.

The programs put on by the Library are essential for the development of a lifelong appreciation of reading and learning.

The study Center in north Paso Provides a safe place for kids to have access to computers and the internet that they may not have at home and study help for school work. With this COVID19 crisis, it is even more essential as parents try to give their kids quality projects to keep them at home and safe.

The Library’s online programs have been wonderful and fill a very important need in our community as parents strive to work from home with small children.

Please do not close the library. It would be a terrible mistake for so many reasons.

People Rally in Paso Robles to Reopen Schools

By BRIAN WILLIAMS PASO ROBLES — Nearly 100 moms, dads, grandparents and kids rallied in the Paso Robles Downtown City Park on Saturday, Sept.

12, calling for area schools to open for face-to-face instruction.

The two-hour rally to reopen schools was organized by a group of local moms, said one of the moms, Beth Giuffre, who was also the emcee.

Several speakers, including a CTE student, a Paso Robles teacher, a retired doctor and a Paso Robles Joint Unified School District trustee, took to the Carnegie Library steps and spoke to the crowd.

“It’s a good start. Our intention was just to really give a voice to the children,” Giuffre said.

“We’ve been hearing from a lot of grownups talking about things like liability at school board meetings.

My main call to action, if there is one, is we need to start asking and talking about how the children are feeling and doing socially

and mentally because as a mom and someone who loves children, what I am seeing is a very disturbing sense of despair. Especially with teens, their social-emotional well-being is not being talked about as it should.”

At one point, Giuffre read messages from several area students out loud. All of the students talked about what they were missing out due to distance learning — such as socializing with friends, going to games, attending dances, doing hands-on projects, and face-to-face conversations with teachers.

“Here is an anonymous teenager. She said, ‘I want to go back to school. This is my senior year and it has been taken away from me. I wanted my senior year to be memorable. It definitely will be just not in a positive way. I was looking forward to hanging out with my favorite teachers and making new friends. That has been eliminated because the schools are Nearly 100 people attended a rally to reopen schools for in-person too scared to open back up,’” Giuf- instruction on Saturday in the Paso Robles Downtown City Park. fre read.

Atascadero Creek and River Cleanup Day Set For Sept. 19 STAFF REPORT ATASCADERO — The Annual Atascadero Creek and River Cleanup Day is Saturday, Sept. 19, from 9 a.m. until noon.

This year will be a little different as we follow COVID-19 Safe Guidelines: • No formal gathering to meet at the beginning of the day.

• All supplies will be distributed from the AMWC Yard, but volunteers are encouraged to come by at their convenience and maintain CDC recommended social distancing at this location.

• Sign-ups will be available for each specific location, both ahead of the event and on the morning of the event, with

each location limited to a maximum of 10 people.

• Bring work gloves, sturdy, closed-toe shoes, face coverings and a small backpack to carry water.

Volunteers are needed. Team leaders will not be assigned this year, but each group will be assigned to a specific creek section. It is helpful if your family-friend groups have trucks to haul the debris to the AMWC Yard.

Sponsors of the event include the Atascadero Mutual Water Company and the Groundwater Program, the City of Atascadero, and Waste Management. For more information, call the City of Atascadero Public Works Department at 805-470-3456.

People at the rally called for both in-person learning and the resumption of high school sports and activities. Signs at the event read, “Our Children’s Future Must Not Be Determined by Fear,” “Newsom is Bullying My School,” and “Children are Suffering Open Schools Now.” Retired podiatrist Dr. Rex Thornhill explained how the coronavirus is spread and that there was little risk of it spreading like wildfire between students and teachers.

“The bottom line to wrap it

all up, we have things we say in medicine,” Thornhill said, “‘Is the cure worse than the disease’ and I think we can say in this situation the operation was successful but the patient died. Let the kids go back to school.”

PRJUSD trustee Chris Arend and others said the decision to have schools begin the year with distance learning was based more on politics than science. And that the quality of education the children are receiving was not on par with in-person instruction. Arend made it clear from the outset that he was not speaking on behalf of the school district or the board.

Arend has a high school-aged son.

“We have got to get the kids back in school,” Arend said. “Well, what can we do about it. We are doing part of it here, holding this rally. We have to be squeaky wheels. We all have to raise a ruckus and we especially have to do it with our state legislatures and the governor. We have to let them know we are not going to stand for this anymore.”

PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles City Library announced on Sept. 10 the addition of 14 Playaway Launchpad tablets — app packs grouped by subject area, grade level, theme and age for children ages 3-5 and in grades K-5. English, Spanish and French language Launchpads are available.

They are secure, with no risk of unintended content, are sturdily constructed and easily checked out. Don’t have a library card? September is National Library Card Sign up Month! Visit https://www. prcity.com/234/Getting-a-Library-Card for information.

There is no need for Wi-Fi or any download time with the Launchpad tablets. They come with 10 or more ad-free, high-quality apps on each tablet that promote learning and critical thinking skills and that work in tandem with the Paso Robles School District’s STEAM education approach

that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry.

The tablets were purchased through generous funding provided by the Paso Robles Library Foundation, a non-profit organization founded in 1997 to engage the community in supporting the Library through financial donation and/or volunteer service.

18th Annual Women’s Legacy Fund Event Marks $500,000 Awarded Since Inception Join ‘Invest in Her’ on Sept. 24, for broadcast of virtual event STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County’s (CFSLOCO) Women’s Legacy Fund (WLF) will host their 18th annual event on Sept.

24, in a new virtual format bringing the community together to “Invest in Her.” The Women’s Legacy Fund focuses on empowering women and young girls by promoting mental wellness, health, safety and future security. As the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected women, these areas of support are more important than ever.

Due to this iconic San Luis Obispo County program’s ongoing success, the Women’s Legacy Fund awarded

$56,500 in grants this year to four local programs, marking a half-million dollars awarded since 2004. These partner organizations work diligently to empower women and girls in our county:$20,000 to Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County (CAPSLO) — The grant will be used of intimate partner violence and directly for their CALM (Cultivating sexual assault and their loved ones Awareness, Living Mindfully) Project in SLO County with no-cost indito fund a small-group health coaching vidual and group therapy offered in curriculum to teach young women at both English and Spanish.

“While COVID-19 has affected the traditional model of the Women’s Legacy Fund Luncheon, we believe it is now even more important to focus on the disproportionate role the pandemic

has played in restricting the advancement of women as they step up to fill voids in our currently socially-distanced society,” said Heidi McPherson, CEO of The Community Foundation. “This year’s event will pivot to a virtual format allowing us to increase accessibility and continue the critical work of supporting women and girls in SLO County.”

Registration for the “Invest in Her” virtual event is free, but donations are greatly appreciated and crucial to supporting the work of the organizations and programs that receive funds. To register, visit cfsloco.org/womens-legacy-fund.

LOCAL NEWS COVID-19 UPDATE

SLO County Close to Moving into Red Tier 2

By BRIAN WILLIAMS SAN LUIS OBISPO — San Luis Obispo County is one good week away from moving out of the most restrictive widespread purple tier 1 into the substantial red tier 2.

A county must meet the state’s COVID19 criteria of two metrics — casesper-100,000 rate and positivity rate — for the less stringent tier for two consecutive weeks to move into a less restrictive tier.

SLO County’s positivity rate of 2.9 percent has not been the problem since Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the four tiers in the Blueprint for a Safer Economy two weeks ago.

The County’s cases-per-100,000 has been above 7 and this was holding it back until this past week when it came in at 6.3.

The state’s metrics are updated each Tuesday. A county must remain in a tier for a minimum of three weeks before advancing to a less restrictive tier.

Moving into the substantial red tier 2 would allow for more businesses to open and for some to move indoors.

Schools could reopen with some in-person instruction once the county is out of tier 1 for at least 14 days.

In tier 2, movie theaters, places of worship, gyms and fitness centers can all reopen indoors with limited capacity. Restaurants, bars, breweries and wineries that serve food

can move indoors with limited capacity.

The capacity of business sectors that were open indoors in tier 1 increases — doubles in some instances — in tier 2.

County Reports Four COVID-19 Deaths Four San Luis Obispo County residents died from COVID-19 since Friday, Sept. 11, bringing the County’s total to 27, according to SLO County Public Health officials.

Two people died on Saturday and one on Monday and Wednesday. One of the people was in their 90s and the other three were in their 80s, according to SLO County Public Health officials. All had underlying health conditions.

Seven SLO County residents have died from the virus in September.

On Wednesday, SLO County reported 23 new COVID-19 cases bringing the overall total to 3,316 with 3,091 having recovered. There are 196 active cases, the lowest amount since early July.

The number of SLO County residents currently hospitalized with COVID-19 increased to 13 with three in intensive care.

Twenty-six people have died from COVID19 in SLO County.

Borenstein Urges People to Still Get Tested San Luis Obispo County Public Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein reiterated COVID-19 testing’s importance during the County’s weekly briefing on Sept 9.

“The importance of testing is simply to make sure that we identify all cases so that

WILDFIRES

we can take action in public health,” Borenstein said. “I’ve heard many people say well if we don’t test, we won’t have these high numbers, we’ll be able to move forward but that isn’t a very good approach to not know where our infections are and how to prevent them from transmitting.”

More testing helps the County’s metrics in the Blueprint for a Safer Economy.

“We do well on the positivity rate, but I also want to point out that with more testing, we can actually get some credit against our case rate,” Borenstein said.

Borenstein also relayed information from a survey asking people about COVID-19 testing. More than 3,300 people responded to the survey.

“It helped us get an idea of reasons why people might not be testing,” Borenstein said. “And I mentioned one of them, some concern about adding to negative metrics but there were also some key findings around people who thought perhaps it wasn’t safe or that it takes too much time or the results are not as meaningful.”

The actual COVID-19 test takes a few seconds, Borenstein said. It may be a little bit uncomfortable, but the people who are doing the testing are in full protective gear.

There have been no cases reported of actually transmitting the virus through testing, Borenstein said.

“Nor are we aware of any cases that have occurred by virtue of going to a testing site,”

SAN LUIS OBISPO SUPERIOR COURT

Judge Says Trial Can Move Forward in Woodrum Murder Case STAFF REPORT

Containment of Dolan Fire Remains at 40% STAFF REPORT MONTEREY COUNTY — Firefighters continue to strengthen containment of the Dolan Fire burning south of Big Sur in the Los Padres National Forest.

As of Wednesday morning, the fire had burned 122,178 acres and was 40 percent contained, according to Los Padres National Forest officials. The fire has been burning since Aug. 18. The cause is under investigation.

Firefighters were going to continue the burnout operation on McKern Road on Wednesday. Crews and heavy equipment spent several days preparing roads to be used as containment lines on a planned burnout that is intended to prevent the fire from moving south of McKern and Nacimiento-Ferguson Roads, US Forest Service officials stated.

Ignitions that began along Prewitt Ridge Tuesday were expected to progress slowly east Wednesday with firefighters along McKern Road using water to cool the perimeter. Fixed-wing aircraft were available for retardant drops to moderate fire behavior and helicopters could assist with aerial ignitions to fill in areas of unburned fuel. This burnout operation was expected to take a few days to complete depending on wind and weather conditions.

There’s a forecasted wind change on Thursday from generally southerly winds to northwest-west winds.

While wind speeds are not predicted to increase, the change of direction could push fire farther east. Hot and dry conditions were expected to persist inland and on the east side of the fire area and firefighters were predicting active fire behavior.

Highway 1 remains closed between milepost 25 and milepost 10. Nacimiento-Ferguson Road is closed to all traffic from Highway 1 to the Fort Hunter Liggett base boundary line.

Elsewhere, the Creek Fire containment was 18 percent, with 220,025 acres burned as of Wednesday morning. The fire has been burning since Sept. 4 in the Sierra National Forest in Madera and Fresno counties and has destroyed 650 structures.

A Fire Weather Watch is in effect Thursday afternoon through Friday for the Creek Fire. Firefighters are preparing for a significant weather change across the fire area as the high-pressure system that has been over the area moves east. A low-pressure system moving over California will bring clear air, gusty winds and cooler temperatures at the higher elevations. These conditions will give the fire a chance to become more active and begin pushing it toward lines that have not yet been wind tested.

Over 17,000 firefighters remain on the frontlines of 25 significant wildfires and two extended attack wildfires in California.

Since the beginning of the year, wildfires have burned over 3.3 million acres in California. Since Aug. 15, when California’s fire activity elevated, there have been 25 fatalities and over 4,200 structures destroyed.

San Luis Air Pollution Control As of Sept. 16, Air Quality Control is forecasted to be UNHEALTHY in the Morro Bay, San Luis, and all Nipomo zones, UNHEALTHY for Sensitive Groups Paso Robles, Atascadero, Red Hills, and Carrizo Plain zones. Conditions can change rapidly when a smoke plume is present; for current conditions, visit SLOClea-

nAir.org.

Borenstein said. “I believe the environments and the test itself are quite safe.”

The test is fast in terms of getting an appointment, Borenstein said. People can both get same-day or, in some cases, nextday appointments.

“We welcome that for anyone experiencing symptoms or may think they have been exposed in the last 5 to 7 days — that is the best timing to be tested,” Borenstein said.

“If you don’t have symptoms but think you may well have been exposed is to wait 5, 6, 7 days because that is how long it will take from exposure to test positive.”

The average turnaround time on the results is quicker now too, between 1-3 days, Borenstein said.

SLO County sites for community testing are: • San Luis Obispo Veterans Hall, 801 Grand Ave. • Morro Bay Veterans Hall, 209 Surf St. • Arroyo Grande South County Community Center, 800 W. Branch St. Individuals can continue to get tested through Urgent Care or their primary care provider.

“We continue to emphasize, please do not use emergency departments for purposes of testing unless you have a true medical emergency,” Borenstein said.

Information about community testing sites and making an appointment can be found online at emergencyslo.org/en/testing-locations.aspx.

SAN LUIS OBISPO — A San Luis Obispo County Superior Court judge determined Friday there was enough evidence to move forward with the murder trial of Carlo Alberto Fuentes-Flores, according to published reports.

Fuentes-Flores, 44, is accused of killing Paso Robles resident Nancy Wood-

rum in May of 2018.

The judge upheld the charges against Fuentes-Flores following a multi-day preliminary hearing.

Fuentes-Flores was charged with premeditated murder with special circumstances that alleged Woodrum’s death occurred during a rape or attempted rape and the commission of a burglary.

Woodrum, 62, went missing in May

of 2018. Fuentes-Flores led detectives to her body off of Highway 58 in eastern San Luis Obispo County.

Detectives determined Fuentes-Flores was hired to do some painting at Woodrum’s home shortly before her disappearance.

Fuentes-Flores has pleaded not guilty to the charges and remains in jail. If convicted, he could be sentenced to life in prison.

GOVERNMENT

CDAA and California Prosecutors Urge Gov. Newsom to Veto Bill that Threatens Public Safety STAFF REPORT CALIFORNIA — California prosecutors are calling on Governor Gavin Newsom to veto a bill that would threaten public safety by allowing repeat convicted drunk drivers, elder abusers, and people convicted of weapons charges to have their cases dismissed after completing diversion instead of being held accountable.

Assembly Bill 3234 would erase criminal behavior from the defendant’s records and prevent law enforcement from having a true accounting of criminal history. Signing the bill into law could also result in the loss of millions of dollars of federal funding that helps prosecutors and police effectively investigate and prosecute impaired driving across California.

AB 3234, authored by Assemblymem-

ber Phil Ting (D-San Francisco), is based on a 2014 Los Angeles County diversion pilot program that expired in 2018. The Los Angeles program was applied generally to first-time offenders. It included numerous exclusions, such as DUIs, weapons charges, and crimes against elders and minors, and possession of child pornography and annoying or molesting a child. It also excluded defendants who had prior diversion and defendants with prior violence within the last 10 years.

The majority of these exclusions were not included in AB 3234. As a consequence, this bill would allow a court to grant diversion for misdemeanor offenses, including DUIs, elder abuse, and firearms offenses. Not only would these crimes be eligible for diversion, but the cases would be dismissed, and these crimes would be deemed never to have occurred.

“Diversion will now almost certainly

be sought in every eligible misdemeanor case. Failure by a defense attorney to request it would likely be considered ineffective assistance of counsel,” said CDAA President and El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson.

“Rather than being held accountable and treated appropriately, repeat DUI offenders would have a legal pathway to avoid the responsibility of their dangerous conduct,” he added. “Due to anti-recidivism statutes enacted in the 1980s and 1990s, DUI deaths have decreased by 52 percent; nonetheless, there were over 1,000 DUI deaths in 2018 alone.

The failure to add DUI cases to the list of crimes excluded from diversion is gravely troubling and should alone compel a veto.”

SLO COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT

Counter Human Trafficking Team Rescued a Potential Victim STAFF REPORT

SAN LUIS OBISPO — Investigators with the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s Counter Human Trafficking Team conducted a proactive operation to rescue a potential human trafficking victim. The victim was pregnant, commercially sexually exploited, and controlled by a trafficker. Through an undercover prostitution sting, the female was contacted, and a male counterpart was identified as Anthony Richardson Gaines, 33 of Modesto.

Due to COVID-19 concerns, state zero bail policy, and further follow-up needed, the victim and Richardson Gaines were released.

After a follow-up investigation, the Counter Human Trafficking Investigators were able to secure an arrest warrant for Richardson Gaines for the crimes of human trafficking, pimping, and a prison prior enhancement. On Aug 18, 2020, with the Modesto Police Department Investigations Division’s assistance and the non-profit organi-

zation DeliverFund, Richardson Gaines was taken into custody in Modesto, CA, and subsequently extradited and booked in the San Luis Obispo County Jail.

The Sheriff ’s Counter Human Trafficking Team is a partnership between the Sheriff ’s Special Operations Unit, the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office Bureau of Investigations, and the District Attorney’s Victim Witness Division. The Counter Human Trafficking Team primarily targets human trafficking victims, sexual exploitation, and the commercial sexual exploitation of children. The Counter Human Trafficking Team has been operational since January 2020 and has focused its attention on proactively targeting traffickers who sexually exploit victims, sex purchasers who drive demand and providing resources to exploitation victims. In addition to proactive investigations, the Counter Human Trafficking Team provides training to law enforcement and a wide variety of community partners.

COURT

San Miguel CSD Employee Sentenced for Theft and Embezzlement of $38,000 STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — Kallie Johnson was sentenced recently by San Luis Obispo County Superior Court Judge Hernaldo Baltodano to 180 days jail for her theft of $38,000 from the San Miguel Community Services District.

The Community Services District provides water, sewer, solid waste disposal, street lighting and general administrative services to San Miguel, population 2,400.

Johnson, 30, pled no-contest to two felonies — misappropriation of public funds and embezzlement of public funds.

The thefts occurred between June 2015 and November 2015 while Johnson was working as the district’s bookkeeper.

According to evidence in the case, during that time, she manipulated the district’s payroll system to increase her paycheck. She did this on 11 separate occasions, increasing the amount of each paycheck from $2,000 to as much as $4,000.

“The public has a right to expect that all government officials, whether employees in small local districts or state agency officials, will serve the public and protect our valuable public resources. Ms. Johnson abused her position by stealing from the residents who live in San Miguel and we will not allow public corruption in any form to go unpun-

ished in San Luis Obispo County,” said San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow. Johnson was facing up to four years in prison.

“While the sentence is less than we had hoped for, we can all be thankful that she’s receiving punishment for shattering the trust of this community and stealing the resources of the district,” said Ashley Sangster, San Miguel Community Services District Board President.

At the sentencing hearing, Sangster spoke at length of Johnson’s harm to the district’s reputation and its employees. During the hearing, Judge Baltodano noted the seriousness of her offense, that it involved sophistication, and took advantage of a position of trust and confidence.

After Deputy District Attorney Michael Frye urged the Judge to sentence Johnson to at least one year in custody, Judge Baltodano gave a lesser sentence of 180 days, noting that she had served in the military, that she was making efforts to pay restitution, and that she had no significant prior criminal history.

This case was investigated by the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Bureau of Investigation. It was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Michael Frye, who is assigned to the Public Integrity Prosecution Unit.

INGEBORG PENDLEY 1930 - 2020

ngeborg Pendley passed away peacefully on August 22, 2020 in the way she had wished for: in her sleep and at her home of 55 years in Atascadero.

Inge, as most knew her, was born on January 15, 1930 in Friedland, Czechoslovakia to her parents Gertrud Matzig and Kurt Görner. After World War II, Inge’s family were forced to move to Germany.

Inge then bravely escaped East Germany with her mother and brother Kurt, crossing a forest during the night, to settle near Frankfurt, Germany.

Inge moved to the USA in 1958, and for a short while lived in Oklahoma and Illinois. She found her true home Atascadero in 1961. She was

ernon Lester Stewart 89, of Santa Margarita, passed away peacefully, August 31, 2020, at home with his wife Dorrie by his side. Born in Arlington, South Dakota on December 12, 1930, to Willis A Stewart and Idyle Mae “Nettleton” Stewart. He was raised on the Stewart family farm. He enlisted in the United States Navy in 1951-

1955. He was assigned to the (CBs) Construction Battalion working on the Islands of the South Pacific.On May 30, 1953 he married Dorrie Evans of Goshen, Indiana. He worked in San Luis Obispo for Model linen Supply, West Side Auto Parts, and the Big A Auto Parts store. He retired in 1993 Vern loved the Community of Santa Margarita. He participated in

several community Organizationsover the years. He was instrumental in the founding of the Santa Margarita Volunteer Fire Department.

Vern always took good care of his family. He was a loving husband, father, grandpa and Opa to his great grandchildren. Vern is survived by his wife of 67years Dorrie Stewart. Children, Mona and husband Rick Lancaster,

Willyand wife VickiStewart, Peggy and husband Jeff Lynn.

Five grandchildren, Richard and wife Tara Lancaster, Cristin and husband Dustin Knutson, Mackenna and husband Jeremy Waller, Dylan Lynn, and Wesly Stewart.

Seven great-grandchildren, Blane, Tyler, Wade Knutson, Sage, Sierra, Brook Lancaster, and Dalton Stewart.Services pending.

a beloved part of the community since when phone numbers were four digits long and there was not a single stoplight in town. She witnessed incredible growth and change in SLO county. Inge herself continually grew and changed with the times, yet always remained a dedicated and loving mother and grandmother.

Inge held many jobs and delighted in telling people she was a welder for many years.

She worked hard for everything she had. She collected cans and bottles to buy her first car, after receiving her first drivers’ license in her 40s. She became a naturalized citizen in her 30s.

We learned so much from her about being a good person.

Inge never had much but was always generous with what she did have. Be it loaning money to people in need, allowing kids and grandkids to use the middle bedroom or her car for many months at a time, or the cash or lottery tickets that every grandkid could count on for birthdays and Christmas well into adulthood.

Inge’s house was more than just her home. It has been the center of our family for nearly

six decades. Although many have moved away for a time or permanently, there was always a magnetic draw back to see her, with nearly 40 people somehow fitting in her little house for birthday celebrations and holidays.

Inge loved to dance. To the twist in the 1960s, teaching us the waltz before our first sock hop in the 1970s, and swinging to country music. She danced at every event with music. Her last dance was with family at great-granddaughter Emily’s sweet 16 birthday celebration in November 2019.

Inge was well-known for her famous home-made french fries, potato salad and anything made with vinegar. She experienced hunger during WWII, and never wasted food. Even feeding stray animals to avoid throwing food away.

Inge made many life-long friends. She tolerated the Dodgers to watch many games with Agnes Rainwater. She spent many happy hours hiking and traveling with Gale Semon and Linda LaRue. Although Inge’s bones were brittle, her spirit and love of life were very strong. She was

the toughest person most of us have ever known. She worked extremely hard to come back from injury after injury, spending more time at the gym and in the pool than people a quarter her age.

Inge proudly displayed a “sour kraut” plaque alongside many photos of her family. But behind her occasionally cantankerous and ornery façade, she always had an incredible amount of love for the many people in her life. Although she didn’t use it frequently, when she did, her smile could light up a room.

Those who knew and loved her will miss that smile. But not nearly as much as we will miss the amazing woman behind it!!

Inge is survived by her remaining children; Brigitte Fowler, Linda Persons (Larry), Thomas Pendley, and Robin Kurt Pendley ( Jodi). Her daughter Peggy Pendley passed away in 1994.

She had eight grandchildren: Eric, Alice, Melissa, Randy, Breanna, Tyler, Rebecca, and Mitchell; ten great-grandchildren: Mercedes, Victoria, Emily, Nicholas, Joshua, Tobin, Nolan, Skylynn Ingeborg, Kaycee, and Steven;

and a great-great-grandchild: Zohanna.

We want to thank Rob and Jodi for ensuring Inge could remain at home during her final days. Jodi’s care and excellent cooking merit special appreciation, and Inge considered you her daughter.

Many thanks to Dr. Mooney for his many years treating Inge’s numerous fractures, to Dr. Jardini and his staff in Templeton for years of kind care, and to Hospice for guiding us during her final journey.

Inge suffered a massive stroke in November 2019. She was proud of her stroke recovery, made possible by excellent stroke teams at Twin Cities and Sierra Vista, where she had a thrombectomy, and the Acute Rehab Center in Arroyo Grande. Inge’s thrombectomy experience was featured in a news article that she kept by her favorite chair to show her visitors.

With the current challenging situations in California, there will not be a public service at this time. Inge’s family is planning a public celebration of her life during the season she loved the most, Fall.

The Other Side of the Conversation

HAYLEY MATTSON

B

CO-PUBLISHER

eing publishers of hometown newspapers and community magazines during an election year and a pandemic is not for the faint of heart, especially during these unprecedented times. Together with our team, we take a lot of pride in covering the local, county, and statewide events that pertain to our community.

Recently I received an email from a community member critiquing our lack of coverage or mention of national events in relation to our local stories. I found it to be a great question and one that I contemplate daily as we create the papers each week, so I thought I would share my reply: The Atascadero News is a Hometown Newspaper. We cover Atascadero and the North County, which includes Creston, Santa Margarita, Templeton, Paso Robles, San Miguel, Shandon, and San Luis County, as it pertains to the North County.

Due to COVID-19 and the hold of all sports, we are currently printing a 16-page one-section paper filled with local news, people, business, City Council, and School Board, and a few county-related stories outside of COVID.

We have covered COVID-19 in Open depth for months and months on end.

• Jr Livestock Auction Raises $1 Here is a link atascaderonews.com/?s=Million COVID to the 100 plus COVID• CAPS Committee for Public 19 articles that we have written since School Raises $58k During March.

that does not pertain to Atascadero or Paso Robles, for that matter.

Now with that being said, perhaps you missed the coverage that we did earlier this summer on the two protests in Paso Robles and the one in Atascadero.

As a direct response, the Paso Robles Mayor formed a Diversity Council that just recently came to fruition after he pledged that he would do so at the protest in July.

Or perhaps you missed the article we ran on Atascadero PD Respond’s to “8 Can’t Wait,” or the story on the Community Brings Race Matters SLO Demands to the City Council. Or the Atascadero Mayor Talks Police and Prejudice or SLO City Council Approves Creation of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force, or the article on Growing the EVC Team to Help Grow SLO County’s Economy.

I really could keep going, but I believe you get the point. We are a small hometown newspaper trying our very best to bring the community together, not tear it apart by reporting on the local people by local journalists who love our community.

When we began this pandemic, we all united together, and that is what we all focused on. I believe we will get back to that because I have seen our community do it before.

A question for you to ponder, if we cover only hometown news, stories, and issues, of what happens on our streets within our community, then why are the issues that you mentioned not appearing in our paper? Perhaps you may want to look at that side of the conversation.

Stay safe, share love and be a good human.

‘Gun Management’ Not ‘Gun Control’

in “they want to take away our constitutional right to bear arms.” How does this become an argument that is considered valid? The use of that phrase is a derailment of the topic. Many people, even some gun owners, agree we don’t want any more innocent people killed because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time when someone with a DEB SKINNER gun got disoriented and confused their three-dimensional world with a video COMMENTARY game. his weekend, multiple shootPerhaps the word “control” is part ings in multiple states.

management” might be a phrase that better captures the sentiments of those who would like to be free of the fear (that it is no longer just paranoia) that causes us to explore the options of how to know we are not allowing guns to go into the hands of unreliable people or persons who demonstrate they are “on the edge,” or humans who have not reached a stage of maturity that allows them to process cause and effect before they start their shooting spree or nitwits who leave their weapons lying around where a toddler can pick them up and kill their sibling. Homeowners with guns averages in the range of 37% to 43% over time, studies show. (See statista.com/statistics/249740/percentage-of-households-in-the-unitedstates-owning-a-firearm/) A lot of money is made through gun sales. When we place the value of “unmanaged” gun sales above the value of human life, except when it has our own genetic code embedded in it, we become a lawless nation of hunters and the hunted.

Owning and driving a car requires a certain amount of responsibility and assessment before one is able to enjoy the privilege, and if you have medical issues, you don’t get to keep your license.

It is common sense that the same

community. He was respected not only for the job he had but for treating everyone with dignity (even the bad guys).

They taught us to work hard and be grateful for the opportunities given to us in the “Land of the Free”. They taught us morals, respect, and dignity. They taught us to give back to the community and get involved. They taught us not to watch things go by but to instead make things happen.

After reflecting on how I was raised and reflecting on this weekend’s tragic shooting of officers, I keep asking myself the following questions: Where did our morals go? Where did respect for humankind go? Where is our country going? Are we no longer the Land of the Free?

As parents, are we being too easy on our kids? Are we forgetting that our job as parents is to raise independent, respectful, and contributing members of society? Are we forgetting that no matter what demographic, we can all succeed?

Are we giving in to the pressures of evil that is out there because it’s an easy way out? Are we talking about doing our part but not acting on it? And finally… will

should apply to weapons. We don’t call our system of driver safety “car control.”

Yet we manage safety on the roads without this ridiculous avoidance to protect society from the many potential dangers involved with operating trucks and vehicles.

We don’t say automobile control; we say driver’s education, driver’s tests, driver’s license.

Car operation requires liability insurance. Some have suggested that gun ownership should also mean a requirement of insurance. It makes sense that someone shooting an innocent person should have insurance that covers their medical, loss of work, and trauma, and suffering. If they kill the person, the family should get payments for their pain and suffering.

According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, recorded sales of firearms, 342,860 guns were sold in 2019. This year the number is up over two million, and the year isn’t over! So how can we begin a meaningful conversation on sensible management without triggering people with hot button words?

the riots ever stop?

I’m sad, I’m angry, and I’ve been in tears about this, but I came across a quote that gave me hope: “We are made for goodness. We are made for love. We are made for friendliness.

We are made for togetherness. We are made for all of the beautiful things that you and I know. We are made to tell the world that there are no outsiders. All are welcome: black, white, red, yellow, rich, poor, educated, not educated, male, female, gay, straight, all, all, all. We all belong to this family, this human family, God’s family.” ~ Archbishop Desmond Tutu I hope sharing these wise words will bring forth compassion and empathy for all and inspire others to get involved to be the change we so desperately need because enough is enough! In the meantime, I will continue to pray for God to seep into the hearts of those so bitter and angry as well as for the peacemakers trying to make change.

The Petition for Probate requests that Laurie Ridgeway be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The Petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The Petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: September 15, 2020 Time: 9:00 a.m.

Dept: 9 Address of Court: 1050 Monterey Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408 If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien

being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www. servicelinkASAP.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000007727019. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

ast week when I composed my column, it was at least 112 degrees outside. Therefore, I thought it would be nice to include some “cool” drink recipes and a Lemon Sherbet recipe. My column deadline was Monday and I expected the weather was going to stay warm. Was I ever in for a shock! On Thursday, our paper delivery day, it was almost cold enough for a fire in the fireplace and I wore a fleece jacket all day. So much for predicting the weather!

I appreciate that Carrie Lovell, Public Relations and Media Chairman for El Paso de Robles Chapter, NSDAR (National Society Daughters of the American Revolution), keeps me posted on celebrations regarding our country’s founding. This month the chapter is promoting Constitution Week, Sept. 17-23.

On Sept. 1, the chapter was presented a Constitution Week Proclamation from

U.S. citizens’ responsibility to protect, defend and preserve the U.S. Constitution.

El Paso de Robles Chapter, NSDAR is an active chapter whose members honor their ancestors who fought for the nation’s independence. The chapter has been committed for over 70 years to volunteer service to better their local communities. DAR is one of the largest patriotic women’s organizations globally, with more than 185,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters across the country and in several foreign countries.

Members promote historic preservation, education and patriotism via commemorative events, scholarships and educational initiatives, along with citizenship programs, service to veterans, and meaningful community service.

For additional information about the organization, visit dar.org.

Remember to fly your American flag, participate in the elections, and above all, respect our country and the freedoms given to us by the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

A note from George Asdel, President of the Atascadero Art Association: “We have

an opportunity to join the Open Studios Tour artists who live above the Grade in a “Pop-Up” art show at our weekly Farmers’ Market in the Sunken Gardens. This will be a safe-distance, masks-on event on Wednesday, Oct. 14, from 3 to 6:30 p.m.”

George invites you to call him at 805-305-6036 or Marie at 805-466-3684 if you are interested in participating in the show.

We have a wonderful, very talented group of artists here in our North County, so let’s support them however we can.

Mark your calendar for this event. It’s outside, after all, and you can wear your mask and stay 6 feet away from anyone!

Enjoy the weekend.

Cheers!

provided the soundtrack for my grandma’s life. One reason why grandpa called Byron a “sissie” was because, as a bachelor, Byron sewed his clothes. That’s why I hesitated when grandpa asked me, “Lee, what’s your favorite part about leatherwork? Is it the tooling? The construction?”

“Grandpa, I know you’re gonna think less of me,” I replied, “but I enjoy the sewing best.”

Grandpa looked at me in disgust with a look usually reserved for Byron.

Now that I’ve admitted it to the world, I know you’ll also think less of me. The fact of the matter is I love to hand sew leather and I have two sewing machines, an old treadle Singer that I completely refurbished and a Tippman machine that will sew through three-fourths of an inch of leather. I really want a “Cobra,” which many of the top saddlemakers now use.

“There are two documents of paramount importance to American history: the Declaration of Independence, which forged our national identity, and the United States Constitution, which set forth the framework for the federal government that functions to this day,” said DAR President General Denise Doring VanBuren.

The DAR initiated the observance in 1955 when the service organization petitioned the U.S. Congress to dedicate Sept. 17-23 of each year to the commemoration of Constitution Week. Congress adopted the resolution, and on Aug. 2, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into law. The celebration’s goals are threefold: to encourage the study of the historical events that led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787; to remind the public that the Constitution is the basis of America’s great heritage and the foundation for its way of life; and to emphasize

mustard seed is a teeny, tiny seed, about 2 milli meters in diameter. Those little seeds turn into waist-high mustard plants and cover a lot of land. Even if your faith is as tiny as the small mustard seed, it is more than enough. Look at the great expanse of beauty produced by these tiny little seeds. I’ll never forget the first time I saw a field of these incredibly beautiful mustard flowers. They seemed to go on forever and gave me a sense of the infinite presence of love, which permeates all of life.

Whatever you choose to have

faith in is perfect and right for you, whether you call it Allah, Atman, Brahman, Buddha, Divine, Eternity, the Force, God, Jesus, Mohammed, the Presence, Source Energy, Spirit, or otherwise. I choose to call it God, which works for me; It is the Invisible Presence, the Thing Itself, common to all, in and through all things, and Its nature is love.

The dictionary defines faith as complete trust or confidence in something or someone.

Ernest Holmes wrote, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” I believe faith is a mental attitude embodied to such a degree that the mind can no longer deny it. We all have this mental attitude of faith about many things without even realizing it.

You have faith that the invis-

ible law of gravity will work when you get out of bed. You don’t have to pray about it or will it to be. You just get out of bed and stand right up.

You get in the shower and turn on the water, expecting to control the temperature, adjust the flow to your liking, and keep a steady stream going until you’re complete.

When you go out to your vehicle in the morning to drive to work, school, or wherever you’re going, you have faith that your car will start right up and allow you to get to your destination on time. I’ve never walked out to my vehicle and thought, gosh, I sure hope my car starts today. It just starts, like it always does. I’m so grateful!

You have faith that the sun will rise and set daily, that your coffee maker and toaster will work as expected. The list goes

When grandpa went into the rest home, my aunt had an estate sale and as I was going through the debris of Grandpa’s life, I found a small quilt composed of one-inch squares of material that were perfectly sewn together with tiny stitches, about eight to the inch. I asked my aunt, “Who made this beautiful quilt? Such workmanship!”

“That’s your grandpa’s?”

“Wow, I’ve never seen it before. But do you know who made it?”

“I just told you. Your grandpa made it!”

“Whoa! Wait just one darn minute! Stop the presses. You’re saying that my grandpa sewed?”

Without waiting for an answer, I gathered up the quilt and immediately took it down to the geezer prison where grandpa was now encamped. He took one look at it and immediately knew that I knew our family’s deepest and darkest secret: GRANDPA SEWED! My 94-year-old father figure pulled me aside and said, “Lee, I won’t tell if you don’t.”

on and on.

Even if you have the tiniest suspicion that something is working for your highest good, that the Universe just might possibly be conspiring for your magnificence, that is enough to have it be revealed to you.

As you move through your day, you’re given many opportunities to choose between fear or faith. I invite you to choose faith. Have faith that everything is unfolding exactly as it should.

Remember, you live, move, and have your being in a Universe that is working for you.

It doesn’t matter how big your faith is; it matters that you have it.

And so it is.

The Story Behind the

Texas Longhorns?

By CONNOR ALLEN

or the better part of two decades, one prominent, iconic feature frequently turns heads when one makes the trek from the North County down to San Luis Obispo, yet nobody knows much about them. In the morning, the sun glistens off their faces. At night, they are painted in a dark silhouette standing as an emblematic, subtle reminder of the differences of personalities and climate when you travel over the Grade.

The Atascadero News has found the story behind the Longhorns, and it began in 2003. The owner of the herd of longhorns that can be seen off Highway 101 on the south side of the freeway wishes to remain anonymous but shared the reasons for the colossal cattle.

The herd was purchased for two main reasons. First, to graze the land to prevent fire danger to the region and be unique and something to look at for those that drive by.

“I would love for the story to inspire people to do more things that just make the Earth beautiful and wonderful,” the owner said. “If you can do it, then why wouldn’t you do that. It is true, I could have bought Angus or anything and let them live there, and no one would ever notice them because they would look like every other steer you drive by.

Why not make it more fun for when you drive by.”

As you whip by on the freeway, it is hard to get a good look at the herd, which is what leads several people a

day to pull over and scramble for their cameras. There are around 25 to 30 that occupy a nearly 400-acre area and, when not visible, are moved to another pen out of sight from passersby.

If you look closely, you will notice that not all of the cattle are longhorns. If you look even closer, you might see that of the four that aren’t longhorns; two are identical. While the herd is mostly comprised of what are commonly called Texas Longhorns, there are also four Watusi in the bunch, and two of them are identical twins, down to the spots.

The two behemoth bovine breeds look very similar, especially when zooming by at 70 mph. The best way to tell them apart is by looking at their iconic horns. The Watusi horns are thicker and

look as if they sit as a u-shaped crown atop the head. The longhorns horns, which can get up to 10 feet from tip to tip, appear more as if they come out of the side of the skull.

The longhorn’s life span is around 20 years, which is why there are now calves also living among the herd. The original matriarch of the group, Etta, who was actually a Watusi, passed away in 2019, and as the herd grows older, younger calves are bought and added to keep them going strong.

The Longhorns are only purchased as calves and raised by the group. There is no bull in the herd.

While the longhorns are the only animals visible from the freeway, they are not the only unique mammals on

the property. Tucked away from the freeway and predators, sit additional pens with more fun animals like alpacas, llamas, donkeys, and horses that have all been rescued.

Aside from their immense appetite, longhorns are also incredibly hardy.

They can endure the hottest of temperatures and brave the elements while drinking little to no water for days at a time. With a substantial herd, they can protect themselves from predators without intervention from the outside world.

In a way, they are the perfect gatekeepers to North County. In spirit, they personify the gritty hard-working nature of the people within Atascadero and Paso Robles and remind those entering or leaving that we can be regal, too.

ASSISTANCE LEAGUE CONTINUED FROM A1

in the Board Room of the San Luis Coastal Unified School District.

Organizational support from the National Assistance League came from Guild Advisor Joan Kidder, a member of the Assistance League of Santa Barbara and the NAL Director of Extension and Linda Kilmer, a member of the Assistance League of Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Barbara Offerman, also a member of the Assistance League of Santa Barbara, joined Kidder on her Guild visits and added much to the Guild’s formation, Butz recalled.

Like many of the members, Butz had been part of Assistance League chapters in other cities before relocating to the Central Coast.

“I knew Joan and Barbara well from my League days when I lived in Santa Barbara,” Butz said.

During our forming years, the Assistance Guild of San Luis Obispo County worked hard to meet the requirements to become a chapter.

NAL required a membership of 50. When SLO received its charter, it had 51 members. They also needed to have Operation School Bell, a philanthropic project, a fundraiser, by-laws, and an annual meeting. A Taste of Art was their initial fundraiser.

After meeting the NAL requirements, “in May of 1996, we held a chartering celebration at the Madonna Inn where National Assistance League President Lorene Jaross presented us with our Chapter Link for the NAL Chain, making us the 95th Chapter of Assistance League,” Butz said.

Fiske was chapter president for two terms, 1996-97 and 1997-98.

Anna Aven served one term following Fiske. Butz was president in 1999-2000 and 2000-2001.

Today, Helen Robertson of Paso Robles is president of the SLO chapter.

OPERATION SCHOOL BELL Operation School Bell is the main philanthropic program of the Assistance League of San Luis Obispo County. The program helps clothe children at the start of the school year.

“When our chapter was formed 25 years ago, as a first effort, the members were able to provide

see how our county is ever going to get back — the weather is perfect right now, but in another month or two we are going to see a change and the outdoor dining is not going to be as easy to do,” Hamon said.

Hamon feels a push needs to be made toward Sacramento to relax the requirements. Martin said he sent a third letter to Governor Gavin Newsom requesting flexibility to allow businesses to open indoor operations due to the County’s low infection rate, low hospitalization rate, and high recovery rate.

Wildfires have also impacted air quality and outdoor business operations.

If the City were to relax restrictions on their own, they would need to be backed by the

state. Otherwise, they risk losing COVID-19 funds.

Many other cities, not only in the state but all over the country, are pushing back on restrictions.

Council again continued the Beechwood Specific Plan because the item was not ready. The item will be back at the Oct. 6 Council meeting.

During general comments, a resident asked for an update on the Borkey Flats homeless encampment. There are currently six to eight campers plus some RV campers using it.

Borkey Flats is in a flood zone, which will become a concern when and if the rain comes later in the year. Because of this, alternative locations are being looked at to have the camp moved by Nov. 1.

Two grants were received and accepted by the Council from

To help clothe more children the Assistance League of San Luis Obispo County opened a thrift store in San Luis Obispo on April 1, 2015. Thrift Store is staffed entirely by volunteers.

gently-used clothing to 300 children in our County,” Robertson said.

“They washed, mended and ironed so that these students could go to school in properly fitting clothing.”

To move the program toward providing new clothing, the SLO chapter needed to begin fundraising. And so began the second arm of the chapter, raising funds so that they could not only provide new clothing but do it for more children.

“As an all-volunteer organization, we depend on our members to do everything it takes to dress these students. Our members love doing just that,” Robertson said.

Every year their goal is to dress more students in need. This past school year, over 2,200 students were provided new clothes through the local program. Students are assigned a time to shop for new clothes at Kohl’s in Paso Robles and Old Navy in SLO. Assistance League members assist the children.

San Luis Obispo County currently has approximately 35,000 students in its 10 school districts from Nipomo in the south to San Miguel in the north.

“I joined as a recent retiree with a desire to make a difference for young people in need,” Robertson said. “The joy I receive when working with a child when she is able to pick out that special pair of shoes or he gets those jeans just like the other boys is so fulfilling. My heart is full each time I am able to participate in the clothing sessions.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted their fundraising efforts as it led to some events being canceled.

Fortunately, their “Warm Your Heart...Clothe a Child” campaign will not be affected as people can support it through their website at alslocounty.org.

umbrella of the Center For Family “We started holding fundraisers and went out and got some grants as well as holding potlucks,” Blanc told The Paso Robles Press. And while Fraser has been able to help the group secure a few grants, Blanc says, “Largely the donations have come from people in the North County supporting the North County.”

As of August, the group has already issued just

ASSISTANCE LEAGUE THRIFT STORE Another significant cog for the SLO chapter is its thrift store at 667 Marsh St., San Luis Obispo.

The Assistance League Thrift Store opened April 1, 2015, and was the brainchild of the former Chapter President, Gail Stoneburg.

She developed a business plan and, subsequently, the chapter began holding small sessions with our members before the final decision was made to proceed to make sure everyone realized the magnitude of the undertaking. Stoneburg found the location and was the store’s first manager.

“We are extremely proud of the fact that to this day, it is staffed entirely by our member volunteers who work tirelessly and without pay,” said Susan Pino, who became store manager in December 2018.

The store’s revenue has steadily increased each year, which has allowed the chapter to continue to serve more students, increase the amount of money that is spent on each student, and spread the word to customers about the chapter’s various programs.

Over 90 percent of the organization’s generated revenue goes to Operation School Bell.

Pino has been a member since 2012. Her husband is a Pal of Assistance League.

“Since I have joined the Assistance League, I have made many lasting friendships with other members who share the same passion and commitment to our philanthropic program,” Pino said.

“We have so many stories to share about the wonderful children and families we have served throughout the years. It has been a fun yet very humbling experience for me.”

under $30,000 and have helped their neighbors cover everything from medical bills and baby shoes to groceries and rent.

Like most nonprofit agencies, COVID-19 has stretched their resources thin as the number of funds coming in has slowed due to their inability to fundraise coupled with the community’s growing need.

built Park Cinemas from the ground up. It opened in December of 1997. Catherine and Jennifer are now its co-owners and John remains on as CEO and mentor.

“We had nothing when we first got married, absolutely nothing and have spent 52 years building up to where we own this,” John said. “Building up so our family can have something for the future. And I face the possibility of losing it. I just can’t fathom that.

Honest to God. I won’t.

In an effort to save the theater, John and his daughters created a GoFundMe campaign to help pay its bills with a lofty goal of $250,000. As of Monday, Sept. 14, it has raised nearly $13,000.

Asking for help via GoFundMe was a difficult decision for the Roushs.

“When you ask me, it’s like throwing my pride out the window,” John said. “We need help. If we can keep the rent paid, our theater will be here when we are ready to open.”

Over the past six months, Park Cinemas was only able to open for a couple of days in mid-July.

On July 10, Park Cinemas reopened and three days later, all movie theaters in California were shuttered again by Gov. Gavin Newsom as COVID-19 cases and deaths spiked across the state.

In early May, Park Cinemas began preparing to reopen in July as the state moved through the phases.

They secured a Paycheck Protection Program loan and an Economic Injury Disaster Loan that allowed them to bring staff back and prepare for the reopening and to pay some bills. But that money has run out and the bills are once again piling up.

“Never expected it to go this long,” John said. “I think America was fine closing down the first couple months.

We all understood. It was kind of panic on everybody’s part. But this is now beyond repair, in my opinion.”

According to the Roushs, the GoFundMe money

FEMA through the Fiscal Year 2019 Assistance to Firefighters Grant. The first grant included the purchase of nine portable and four mobile radios for firefighters.

The second grant reimbursed the City $4,306 for PPE supplies and $16,223 for additional ES supplies.

The grants total $88,976 with the City’s required matching at $8,088, less than 10% of the total.

The final maps for tracts 3155 and 3152 were approved. Both are on the Olsen-South Chandler Ranch property. Tract 3155 includes 243 acres with 13 parcels.

Tract 3152 consists of 84 acres with seven parcels.

Councilmembers adjourned the meeting in honor and memory of Ed Steinbeck, a former realtor and councilman in Paso Robles, who recently passed away.

will go toward operating expenses, mainly their lease.

“What people don’t understand is they may not be paying rent today, but they are going to owe their landlords the money,” John said. “Many landlords, and ours included, ours is one of the most wonderful people I have met in my life and he has been very understanding, very helpful, very patient, but he has pressures too, and the patience is running out.”

The Roush’s aren’t relying solely on GoFundMe for their survival. People can purchase gift cards and concessions in the Park Cinemas lobby daily from 2 to 7:30 p.m. Screening rooms can also be rented for private family and friends screenings of a DVD movie of their choice or to play video games on the big screen.

All of the COVID-19 safety precautions are still in place at Park Cinemas. Every other row of seats was blocked off and seating is limited in the open rows.

Plexiglass was placed along the concession stand. A supply of masks was available for moviegoers who did not have one.

SLO County needs its new cases per daily rate to drop for movie theaters to reopen again inside.

“No matter what happens, we are going to reopen no matter what actions I have to take,” John said. “If people can understand that we can use the help now and that puts us in decent shape again, then we’ll get through this, and there’ll be a theater here in the future.

Otherwise, I just don’t know.”

Park Cinemas CEO John Roush is doing what he can to make sure the movie theater survives COVID-19.
