PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles Joint Unified School District (PRJUSD) heard from many during public comment on a wide range of topics for the Tuesday, Nov. 9 meeting.

Parents, teachers, and community members spoke on various topics, including raises for teachers, the possible closure of school campuses, and denying a vaccine mandate for students.

PRJUSD received various sweet donations from the community.

1. Kimberly Bikle has donated $200.00 in support of the Paso Robles High School Equity Club.

2. Albertsons has donated Halloween candy in support of Paso Robles High School Leadership events, valued at $3,000.

3. Trader Joe’s has donated 30 pumpkins in support of Bearkitten CTE Program valued at $109.

4. SESLOC Credit Union has donated $419.63 to support Kermit King Elementary Schools’ Physical Education program.

On Oct. 27, Trustee Jim Reed resigned from the school board to move to Texas to be closer to his family. Following his resignation, the Board is now looking to appoint a new individual to fill the vacant spot.

Jim Lynett, executive director of the Paso Robles Public Educators (PRPE), sent in comments declaring their support of appointing Jim Cogan as he was the next runner-up during the last trustee election.

However, it was clarified by Superintendent Dubost that they cannot appoint a new trustee but must follow the appointment process.

Rather than follow through with a special election, which would cost the district approximately $200,000, the Board approved to go through with a provisional appointment process.

The Ins and Outs of a Signature Wine Bottle Sculpterra’s unique “Winemaker’s Signature” Bottle

By PATRICK PATTON

PASO ROBLES — It’s not hard to see why Sculpterra is one of the most visited wineries in the western United States and the Central Coast of California.

Sculpterra Winery and Sculpture Garden incorporates art in a way no other winery has ever captured, and their unique confluence of wine and art is embodied in their venerated “Winemaker Signature” bottle.

“The beauty of this bottle is inside and out,” said Paul Frankel, winemaker for Sculpterra Winery and Sculpture Garden in Paso Robles, California. Frankel has been making estate wines for two decades and has created a unique blend for a bottle that won the 2009 Bruni Glass Design Award from the Münster School of Design at their annual Bruni Glass Design Award Gala Ceremony. The bottle’s creator is Nadine Podewski, a former student at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle, who presented and won at the Bruni Glass Design competition. Podewski’s work in ceramics can be purchased at the Touch of Modern e-commerce site, and she owns a design shop with other artists in Halle, Germany.

Frankel followed the competition each year and was impressed with the unique design. He felt it was the perfect fit for his signature blended wine.

The double bottom self-decanting wine—a bottle style known as “Due Fondos”—can stand up and lay on its side, which can be used for decanting in a Champenoise style. Thus, the “Winemaker’s Signature” bottle was born.

Sculpterra Winery and Sculpture Garden has over 26 giant sculptures on the grounds created by two famous artists and sculptors, John Jagger and Dale Evers. Jagger’s “Eternal Flame” is the face of the signature bottle which symbolizes the unchanging love shed upon us by God. Jagger designed this sculpture in bronze with classic art metal.

Jagger—who passed in 2013— saw this as the culmination of his life’s work. Born in Chicago, Jagger was a full-time professional sculptor for over 45 years. His monuments grace many cities throughout the U.S. and abroad. His awards, prizes, and patents are formidable. Jagger’s works exude life, movement, and power, always appearing on the verge of action. He achieves this by exposing the inner muscularity, or “power supply” of his subjects.

Once Frankel selected which sculpture would grace the face of the signature wine bottle, he began seeking a local bottle-etcher to work on the project. He found local artist Don Landy, who was active in the Central Coast art community.

Landy created a 2D format on the 750 mL bottles, which are produced in Italy. Landy spends one hour per bottle to mask, sandblast, and custom etch each bottle by hand.

After the etching, the bottle was ready for Frankel’s wine to be created.

He used a unique blend of Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Petite Sirah to age a minimum of 15 years before peaking out in structure and aroma. It is different each year, and he only uses these three varietals.

“We’re the only winery to make this work,” said Frankel. “The bottles can’t be ran through a bottling line because of its odd shape—they will tip over. You have to etch, fill, cork, wax, and box each one by hand.

I hand-number and sign each bottle myself. Wineries have tried, but we’re the only ones who have made this work on a commercial level to my knowledge.”

The Winemaker’s bottle took five years of dedication, hard work, and experimentation, and the result is the ideal blend of elegance and art. After each bottle is complete, Frankel’s last touch is to sign and hand-number each one.

BUSINESS

“A perfect labor of love went into each bottle,” said Frankel.

The “Winemaker’s Signature” is the most age-able wine that Sculpterra offers, and Frankel only has a limited amount bottled each year due to the intensive work involved. The 2019 vintage marked the biggest bottling total of 200 bottles, and the 2020 release is limited to 150 bottles. This rendition of the coveted Winemaker Signature bottle is waxed in Cobalt Fire Blue. Frankel changes the color of the wax from year to year in order to differentiate for collectors who like to utilize the decanting bottle to age the wine. The bottles are sold for $200 per bottle, or $350 for two.

Customers are limited to two bottles each, and bottles are available exclusively at Sculpterra’s tasting room.

Siegel’s Jewelry Closing in Paso Robles Husband-Wife team retiring with Going Out of Business Sale starting November 9 STAFF REPORT

PASO ROBLES — For nearly a decade, Siegel’s Jewelry has provided high-quality jewelry and customer service to the charming wine town of Paso Robles. But third-generation jeweler Ken Siegel and his wife Kris are ready to retire.

To thank their customers for their support, Siegel’s is running a “Going Out of Business Sale” starting Nov. 9, with up to 70 percent off a wide selection of new and estate jewelry, diamonds and watches until sold out.

The Iowa jewelry couple, working in the Cedar Rapids family-owned business begun by Ken’s grandfather, Joseph, in 1940, fell in love with the area during a trip for their 25th wedding anniversary in February 2012.

“As soon as we saw the corner downtown location for rent, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity for the next part of our journey as a family business.” In May that year, Paso Robles saw the grand opening of Siegel’s in the heart of downtown.

Since then, Siegel’s has brought the Paso Robles community a full-service jewelry store, from jewelry and watch repairs and custom design work — in partnership with their goldsmith, Stu Goldman — to curating the best selection of diamonds, estate jewelry, and top brands such as Belle Etoile, Michou, Luvente, Beverley K, and Parade Designs.

Just in time for winter holiday shopping, customers will find at Siegel’s Going Out of Business Sale a large selection of diamonds and new inventory, including one-of-a-kind estate pieces just discovered at this summer’s Las Vegas Antique Jewelry and Watch Trade Show.

Ken and Kris have been grateful for the support of the Paso Robles commu-

Greyhound Foundation Hosts 15th Induction of Honorees to Hall of Fame Nine athletes were inducted into the Hall of Fame

By CAMILLE DeVAUL

ATASCADERO — Fifteen years ago, Atascadero Greyhounds came together to form the Atascadero Athletic Foundation with the sole purpose of raising funds to improve the track at the Atascadero High School.

After completing the new ninelane, all-weather track, the foundation moved on to fulfill other needs in their community. They improved lights and bleachers for the high school football field and the baseball and softball fields, a new concession stand—The Top Dog. While their mission remains the same, a few changes were made to the foundation. Additional needs were seen throughout the community outside the realm of athletics, so the name changed to the Greyhound Foundation.

In addition to all the good, the foundation has done for the community, they also have oversight of the Greyhound Hall of Fame.

Since 2007, the Greyhound Foundation has inducted specially selected individuals for the Atascadero Greyhound Hall of Fame. Individuals are selected because they have contributed to Atascadero athletics in one way or another.

These special people are honored at the Hall of Fame Banquet, where Greyhounds gather together in their best “Atascadero formal” attire, ready to reminisce on the old days and good people.

This year’s induction banquet took place on Nov. 6 at the Santa Maria Brewing Company on San Luis Ave. in Atascadero. Nine Greyhounds were inducted to the 2021 Hall of Fame, bringing its new total of members to 142 Greyhounds.

Christian Cooper emceed the banquet, introducing each new honoree with their “Greyhound

story,” which often included how they became a Greyhound or their grey, orange, and white accomplishments. Honorees are nominated by the public and presented with an Atascadero Athletic Hall of Fame Plaque. These plaques are later displayed on the foyer walls of the Atascadero High School Ewing Gymnasium.

Atascadero Greyhound Hall of Fame Class of 2021 Haylee Donaghe Borgstrom (Class of 2005) was introduced as a scholar-athlete and valedictorian. She had six varsity letters (three in basketball, two in volleyball, and one for track) and was named offensive player of the year for volleyball.

But basketball seemed to be the sport she really shined. Hayley earned a scholarship to play basketball at UC Davis. There she made even more athletic accomplishments. Today she is working as a sports medicine physician and faculty member at Harvard Medical School in Boston.

As Cooper puts it, “She is wicked smart.”

Hannah Donaghe (Class of 2007) dominated on and off the court, just like her sister. She, too, was valedictorian and a scholar-athlete.

In high school, Hannah was a four-year starter, three-time MVP, All-League and All-County all four years, County Player of the Year, all-state team three times, and even more if you can believe it.

Hannah played basketball for Stanford on scholarship. There her team made the final four, all four years she was on the team. Today, she works as an environmental scientist in Santa Barbara.

Craig Hueter (Class of 1984) is known for his baseball accomplishments at AHS. Roy McDaniel (Class of 1968) earned seven varsity athletic letters while at AHS. He earned two in football, three for wrestling, and two in baseball. Cooper quoted McDaniel’s old wrestling coach, who said Roy “was driven to be the best. A leader by example.”

McDaniel went on to coach

softball at AHS, helping the varsity team win the 1993 CIF Championship, earning him coach of the year.

Brian Litten (Class of 1994) comes from a long line of Greyhound supporters. He was a seven varsity letterman athlete, having two in football, three in soccer, and two in baseball.

In football, Litten was the starting safety for two CIF Championships. He was first-team All-League and All-County his senior year at AHS. In 1994, he was named AHS athlete of the year and then went on to play baseball at Santa Barbara Community College, where he excelled in the sport.

Today, Litten operates his family’s business, El Camino Building Supply, with his brother.

Dwain Davis (Class of 1992) was one of the most honored basketball players in AHS history, being one of three players to earn All-State basketball honors. In addition, his basketball career boasts several triumphs and honors.

Davis went to UCLA on a full scholarship which later led him to live all over the world. His coach described him as “A pivotal

player in changing the direction of Atascadero High School basketball.”

Cooper ended his introduction of Davis with the basketball player’s own quote, “Life is a beautiful, magical journey that can lead to anything and nowhere. Find a way to enjoy the ride.”

Jesse Baro (Class of 1958), as Cooper puts it, is Santa Margarita royalty. He says, “When I think Baro, I think Margarita royalty— the Baro family has been giving back for generations and countless decades, and Jesse is no different.”

While at AHS, Baro was president of the letterman’s club. He was always known to be reliable, dependable, and committed to excellence. Baro went on to coach basketball for AHS, known to be the “approachable coach” and a friend to every Greyhound.

Steve Ojeda’s daughter accepted the honor on his behalf, saying, “He would be so honored and touched by this.”

Ojeda passed away on Oct. 17, 2019, at the age of 74. As an active member in the Atascadero Athletics since 1992, Ojeda made an impact on thousands of athletes, coaches, parents, and students. He

was always there as a helping hand to coaches of all athletics, taking care of equipment and whatever else was needed. He was someone who never said no to giving a helping hand but was also always right.

Cooper remembers, “He was always the behind the scenes guy— one of our greatest boosters and an ambassador in our community.”

Chris Ferree (Class of 1986) came to AHS his sophomore year from the East Coast. Cooper reiterated that Ferree was “Quite possibly the best student transfer Atascadero High School has ever gotten.”

Ferree excelled highly in wrestling at AHS with coach Dan Pry by his side. He went on to coach wrestling, water polo, and even varsity cheerleading at AHS for 25 years. His accomplishments as a coach include over ten CIF championships, but Pry said of Ferree, “I saw who he is, and I’m sure he changed the life of many young men.”

Cooper said, “We have without a doubt the most successful coach in AHS history.”

New Mural Decorates the Marsh Street Bridge Public art pops up throughout downtown SLO STAFF REPORT

SAN LUIS OBISPO — Earlier this year, the Marsh Street Bridge was reconstructed, last week it was further modernized with a mural. Vibrant local flora now adorns the cement retaining wall above the San Luis Obispo Creek. The mural was coordinated by SLO County Arts and SLO Museum of Arts, and executed by Marmalade Mural Co., a creative business comprised of artists Amy

McKay, Missy Reitner, and Neal Breton. The design for the Marsh Street Mural is McKay’s, former landscape architect, who cites her favorite native wildflowers on the Central Coast as its inspiration. The groups worked with the City to secure access, and the SLOMA insured the Maino family as a part of the project.

This is one of many new public art projects throughout the city.

Marmalade Mural Co. recently created another mural at 2640 Broad Street. It is composed in a lively color block style and showcases familiar landmarks through SLO, including the Mission, wineries, and coastline.

The mural was coordinated by SLO County Arts and SLO Museum of Arts, and executed by Marmalade Mural Co. Contributed photos

Additionally, SLOMA commissioned Boston-based artist, Maria Molteni, to transform the backside of the Fremont Theatre with their kaleidoscopic, technicolor visions.

The San Luis Obispo County Arts Council, as the local partner of the California Arts Coun-

cil, advances the visual, literary and performing arts through programs that promote public access to the arts, arts in educational settings, local arts planning and collaboration, and opportunities for artists and arts organizations.

STAFF REPORT

CENTRAL COAST — With the need for affordable housing facing communities across the globe, People’s Self-Help Housing (PSHH) was approached by the United Kingdom Government to share their 50+ years of experience in affordable housing.

Commissioned by Prime Minister Boris Johnson to lead a review on how to scale up the delivery of self-build homes, Member of Parliament Richard Bacon consulted with PSHH’s CEO & President, Ken Trigueiro, and Vice President of Home Ownership, Sheryl Flores, on the local and regional challenges of building through this model.

“We are always willing to share best practices and support those looking to build affordable housing,” said Trigueiro. “While the challenges are constantly evolving, our organization has worked for over five decades in this sector. It is clear that we can build even more when we are building together.”

The mutually informative transatlantic discussion contributed to the recently published 114-page report “How Putting Customers in Charge Can Change Everything.”

The final document identifies six key recommendations informed in part by the in-depth conversation, which covered the challenges of land prices, by-right development, cost and availability of construction materials, and labor.

Encouraged by the remark “If People’s Self-Help Housing can do it in one of the most expensive footprints in the world, we are certain that it can be replicated in the equally-challenging real estate market of the United Kingdom,” Member of Parliament, Richard Bacon included many of the transferable lessons in the final report and in gratitude for the PSHH team taking the time to participate, credited their contributions.

Kirk Constr uction of Atascadero was hired by the City to construct the nearly $250,000 project.

ATASCADERO — The City of Atascadero is starting construction for the Traffic Way Sanitary Sewer Replacement project. This project will consist of replacement and upsizing of approximately one mile of existing gravity main sewer pipe

under Traffic Way, from San Jacinto Avenue to the Community Center.

This project will improve conditions by replacing the currently undersized sewer pipe and will also include replacement of sewer manholes, reconnection of 55 private sewer laterals to the new main, and repaving the half-width of Traffic Way over the new sewer main.

Work has already begun this week in the Community Center Parking Lot. This phase of work is expected to last through

early December. In December, the work will begin on Traffic Way from the Community Center toward San Jacinto Avenue.

Work within Traffic Way is expected to take from 3-4 months, depending upon weather conditions. Except for short durations, two-way traffic will be maintained on Traffic Way. This will require restricting curbside parking at times along lengths of Traffic Way to allow traffic to shift.

During the month of November, the parking lot at Colony Park Community

Center will be impacted, and the city appreciates your patience in finding alternate parking locations around Colony Park. In December, the city will provide an update and a new work schedule as the project continues onto Traffic Way. As always, the city appreciates your patience and ask that you drive carefully through these work areas.

EMPLOYMENT

More Women Are Considering Leaving The Workforce in 2021 At the beginning of 2021, 3 million women had already left their jobs

By HANNAH CLAIRE BRIMELOW Guest Journalist

NATIONAL — One in three women are considering leaving their jobs or “downsizing” their career — an increase from the one in four recorded during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Last year, 32 percent of women said they felt burnt out. That sentiment is now shared by 42 percent.

The findings are part of a new report titled “Women in the Workplace” published by the consulting firm McKinsey & Co. According to Newsweek, “the pandemic has both laid bare the disproportionate burdens many women shoulder in caring for children or aging parents and highlighted the vital roles they have long played in America’s labor

force. The United States bled tens of millions of jobs when states began shuttering huge swaths of the economy after COVID-19 erupted.”

Employment analysts expected women to re-enter the workforce when schools reopened for in-person instruction, but the mass return never came. Instead, between August and September, the number of women working or searching for work declined.

Nick Bunker, director of economic research at job listing site Indeed, noted that there were about 4 percent fewer mothers of children 13 or younger employed in September when compared to pre-pandemic numbers.

During the same period, more men were employed or seeking employment.

Deloitte Global found that a year and a half after the pandemic started, 51 percent of women say they are less optimistic about their career prospects.

The 5,000 surveyed working women across 10 countries reported being “more stressed and discouraged since the pandemic began as they take on an increasing amount of responsibility at home and in their careers.”

Most women said they had taken on more responsibilities at home and 80 percent said their professional workload had significantly increased since 2020.

“Women are facing the ‘perfect storm’ with heavier workloads and greater responsibilities at home increasingly blurring boundaries between the two,” Deloitte Global inclusion leader Emma Codd told Forbes.

Deloitte reported that 23 percent of women are considering leaving the workforce.

A lack of work-life balance is the number one reason women are considering leaving the workforce.

About 2.4 million women left the workforce by the end of 2020.

By February 2021, the number had grown to 3 million. This was largely attributed to lack of child care and low wages.

President Joe Biden included federal funding for child care in his “Build Back Better” bill in a reported effort to help women go back to work.

“Under the plan’s framework, families making up to 150 percent of their state’s median income would pay no more than 7 percent on child care,” writes The Washington Examiner. “Those making 75 percent or less would

California Launches Robust Vaccine Program for Kids California has allocated more than 1.2 million vaccines for the 5-11 age group STAFF REPORT

SACRAMENTO — Following the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup’s review of the federal process that produced the conclusion that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is reportedly safe and effective for children 5 years of age and up, the state announced it is rolling out a robust vaccination program with the resources to vaccinate every newly eligible California child.

“Vaccines are how we end this pandemic, and they’re how we keep our kids safe—it’s time to get our children the protection they need from this deadly virus, especially as we head into the winter season,” said Governor Gavin Newsom. “California is leading the nation in vaccinations with 54 million administered and 87 percent of the eligible population with at least one dose, and we’re moving swiftly to implement a robust and equitable vaccination program that will cover this newly eligible age group.”

California will begin vaccinating children ages 5-11 immediately, with 500 organizations across the state receiving their first shipments through Monday. The state was allocated 1.2 million pediatric doses from the federal government, with

adequate supply to vaccinate all newly eligible Californians becoming available in the coming weeks.

The state has more than 4,000 locations ready to vaccinate children ages 5-11 as supply increases and is leveraging existing infrastructure and partnerships used to administer vaccines to teens and young adults. This includes working closely with medical providers, local health departments, schools, community partners and others to administer vaccines safely and equitably through mobile clinics and vaccine pop-ups in the hardest-hit communities across the state. For example, California has brokered partnerships with after-school programs—including the Sierra Health Foundation and the Alliance for Boys & Girls—to set up 84 pop-up clinics statewide.

Already, there have been over 3,100 school-located clinics covering over 2 million students, with another 800 planned for November and December, covering 450,000 students.

The state has mobilized an unprecedented multi-pronged paid media campaign to get all Californians vaccinated, which now includes the children. In November alone, this campaign will make 800 million impressions across multiple platforms to emphasize the importance of getting vaccinated. The campaign is said to focus on hardest-hit communities with an in-language approach and an emphasis on equity.

To date, California has administered 54 million doses of the

COVID-19 vaccine, with 87 percent of the eligible population having received at least one dose.

According to the CDC and the California Department of Public Health, children in the range of less than 5 and up to 17 years of age report zero percent of the overall COVID deaths in California as of Nov. 3.

This leads to why many parents are questioning the Governors push to mandate the vaccines at this time. See cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/ Pages/COVID-19/COVID-19-Casesby-Age-Group California was the first to require masks in K-12 settings, vaccine verification, or weekly testing for school staff and has added the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of required vaccinations for students.

Throughout the state, anti-mandate protests have been taking place.

In addition, parents and grandparents have been vocal in recent school board meetings stating that a large percentage of students will be dis-enrolled if the mandate is enforced.

School Boards and Administrations have noted that once the mandates are in place, they do not have any other option than to enforce due to funding.

pay nothing, with the average family receiving $14,800 per year worth of subsidized child care.”

The subsidies would cost $225 billion through 2027. The is also funding allotted for women who want to stay at home with their children or have a relative care for their child.

Men are also feeling the strains of the COVID-19 pandemic, with 35 percent saying they felt burned out this year. This marks a 7 percent increase from 2020.

Americans’ Wages Continue to Decline as Inflation Crisis Continues Grim economic future painted by Bureau of Labor Statistics

By CHARLEY MILLS Guest Journalist

NATIONAL — The Bureau of Labor revealed that “average hourly earnings” have increased from $29.50 in September 2020 to $30.85 in September 2021. However, when adjusted for inflation, “real average hourly earnings” have actually decreased 0.8 percent during that time.

The consumer price index rose 5.4 percent in September from the previous year, slightly more than August’s increase of 5.3 percent and on par with the increases in June and July, which were the highest since 2008.

The Biden administration’s inflation crisis began in April 2021 as inflation rates surged to the highest level since the Great Recession and is expected to continue through next year, according to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

“On a twelve-month basis, the inflation rate will remain high into next year because of what’s already happened. But I expect improvement by the end of — by the middle to end of next year, second half of next

year,” Yellen said. “We are going through a period of inflation that’s higher than Americans have seen in a long time.”

A recent poll of economists by the Wall Street Journal similarly paints a grim economic future.

“Economists on average see inflation at 5.25 percent in December, just slightly less than the rate that has prevailed since June. Assuming a similar level in October and November, that would mark the longest inflation has been above 5 percent since early 1991,” the Wall Street Journal reported.

“Consumer-price inflation will drop to 3.4 percent by June of next year, then 2.6 percent by the end of 2022, according to respondents’ average estimates.

That is still above the average 1.8 percent that prevailed in the decade before the pandemic.”

“It’s a perfect storm: supplychain bottlenecks, tight labor markets, ultra-easy monetary and fiscal policies,” Michael Moran, chief economist at Daiwa Capital Markets America, told the Wall Street Journal.

“Consumer spending, and by extension GDP growth, is being limited by high rates of inflation eroding the real purchasing power of consumers,” explained Michael Brown, principal U.S. economist at Visa.

She was born on December 9, 1940, to Charles and Jeannetta Cox in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Janice moved between Oklahoma and California several times throughout her childhood. She met Wes Buchanan while employed at General Electric, and the couple married in 1963. The Buchanan family came to Atascadero in

each of us just to say, “I love you” or “how’s your day going?” We would all say “I love you” often in our family. Carly’s response was always, “I love you more.”

Growing up, Carly traveled with us many times. We took summer trips to various destinations... Lake Tahoe, Jackson & Mammoth here in California and trips to Texas, Oklahoma, and Arizona. She loved the water, including swimming in pools or wading in the shoreline. She especially loved operating the wave runners in the Colorado River with Jack. We also enjoyed backing into the Drive-in movie and snuggling in the back of the Suburban together. She loved going to the Mid-State…. and would ride every ride just to make Jack happy. Carly also loved the Dodgers and attending games with us.

Carly could not wait to get her driver’s license. She got her permit on her 15 ½ birthday and

1979, where Janice served as city hostess for several years, led a women’s Bible study for more than two decades, and was an active member of The Gideons International.

Janice was known for her unconditional love, selfless heart, and devoted walk with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She was a friend to all and an extension of God’s grace to every individual she came into contact with.

Janice is survived by her husband, Wes Buchanan; sister, Charlene (Harold) Fink; children, Tony (Deborah) Buchanan, Cherilyn (Tim) Malone, John (Teri) Buchanan, Richard (Tracey) Buchanan, and Dave (Deanna) Buchanan; four nephews, thirteen grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and many extended family members and friends.

Her celebration of life open house will be held at the Atascadero Gospel Chapel on November 14, 2021, from 2 - 4 pm.

her actual license on the first available appointment after her 16th birthday….she wasted no time getting that license! One of her favorite things to do was ride around with her brothers, Jack and Tim, and cousin, Kelsey. She joked about things to do in a small town…. “Drive around. Drive to a slightly larger town. Text a friend, to see if they want to drive around. Then drive around some more.”

Carly was such a blessing throughout her life here with us.

What a truly, lovely gift she was to us all! Carly’s story doesn’t end on a Tuesday morning, as it began. She lives on in all the better parts of us. Carly is with our dear Heavenly Father. We can’t wait to meet you on that beautiful shore, sweet Sissy!

Loved ones who will miss Carly until they meet again are her parents, Tim and Denice, her brothers, Jack and Tim (Bubba), grandparents Gino (Papa Gino)

and Cherie (Nana) Krauk of Atascadero and Bud (Poppy), and Margie (Mee Mee) Shipley of Nipomo. Paternal aunt and uncle, Tiffany and Paul Sims, and cousins Alexa & Bronson Sims, all of Atascadero. Maternal aunt and uncle, Tammy and Ted Cianelli, and cousins, Thomas, Cameron, and Anthony of McKinney, Texas. Maternal aunt Kelly (Tee Tee) Shipley and cousin Kelsey Shipley of Nipomo. Maternal aunt and uncle Rose & Kevin Shipley of Nipomo. Carly will also be missed by several great aunts and uncles, second, third, and fourth cousins and their families, and a multitude of friends.

And so, the story goes on until we see Carly again. We love you and miss you, Sissy!

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, November 11th, at New Life Pismo Beach at 11:11 a.m. All of her family and friends are invited to attend.

Craft Distilleries Should Have the Right to Ship

AARON BERGH

T

COMMENTARY

he state of California is about to re-ban an entire industry from selling and shipping its products online. After a temporary allowance that expires on Dec. 31, you will no longer be able to purchase craft spirits from your favorite distiller and have it delivered to your door—unless we take action. So whether you’re an enjoyer of the many tasty spirits, our local distillers have to offer or just someone passionate about empowering small businesses, we need your help.

Every business should have the right to sell their goods by any means they’d like. As long as sales are conducted in a responsible manner, it shouldn’t matter if it’s through a brick-and-mortar shop or online store. Although wineries convinced the state to recognize their right to

conduct commerce decades ago, spirits distillers have lacked the deep pockets and lobbying power needed to influence California legislators.

The moratorium on direct-to-consumer shipping is an archaic law left over from the chaotic aftermath of Prohibition. In a supposed effort to prevent alcohol producers from monopolizing the market, every state enacted a Three-Tier System, which requires alcohol producers to sell all products to a wholesale business and prohibits producers from selling directly to retailers and customers. Instead of preventing monopolies, the regulations resulted in a government-mandated middleman that monopolizes and controls the industry through its exclusive bottleneck. The Three-Tier System in California remained largely unmodified for the spirits industry for 80 years until the passage of the Craft Distillers Act of 2015. The Act affirmed a distillery’s right to sell its products directly to customers instead of having to pay exorbitant fees to a wholesale company to sell to a retail shop. But there’s still a major catch: the product must be purchased in person – it cannot be shipped.

The main mission of the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) is to ensure safe consumption of alcoholic beverages—in

particular, keeping alcohol out of the hands of children. Legislators and wholesaler lobbyists have long alleged that allowing online liquor sales would result in more kids obtaining alcohol. However, the argument quickly falls apart when you consider the many liquor retail stores who are already permitted to ship throughout the state.

Over the past year and a half, distillers have had the chance to prove that we can ship our products responsibly. When the COVID pandemic and the business closures that came with it occurred in 2020, the ABC offered distilleries some relief by issuing a temporary allowance for shipping. Fortunately, there are strong safeguards in place – the driver of the shipping company is legally required to check the ID of the recipient before letting them take a package with alcohol in it. Some naysayers still point to the seemingly jaw-dropping results of ABC sting operations in April of 2020: over 79 percent of drivers delivered packages to undercover agents without checking for a valid ID. When I contacted the ABC in an attempt to obtain a breakdown of license types found in violation, I was told the data was not readily available. After searching news publications across the

state, most of the stories I read suggest that most violations were committed by restaurants delivering through independent drivers like GrubHub, not distilleries delivering through FedEx. I could not find a single instance when a distillery was found to have delivered alcohol to a minor. In any case, the ABC was able to provide me with updated delivery sting operation findings. Now that delivery companies have had a chance to adapt to the new rules, the compliance rate has been continuously improving: now only 16 percent of drivers failed to comply in November 2021 operation. A strong case can be made that alcohol delivery actually promotes safety by encouraging alcohol consumption in the safety of your home instead of at an establishment before getting behind the wheel of your car.

If distilleries can ship spirits direct to consumers in a safe and responsible manner, why is the state poised to take away our newfound freedom? The answer lies in the organizations that have everything to gain from exploiting small businesses and keeping others out of the marketplace. When distillers are able to increase their direct-to-consumer sales, it means they can ditch the oftentimes ineffective wholesalers that have held them hostage, and their 80-year gravy train

loses steam.

Earlier this year, our statewide trade group, the California Artisanal Distillers Guild, managed to scrounge up enough resources to get California Senate Bill 620 introduced to the legislature. If passed, the bill would allow distillers to continue shipping spirits within the state as well to out-of-state customers.

Unfortunately, the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America fiercely oppose this bill, causing legislators to pause its progress through the California State Senate. At the end of this month, it’s back up for reconsideration. This is where we need your help.

If you care about small businesses in your community, growing your local economy, value safety, or have enjoyed the convenience of having craft spirits delivered to your door, please consider taking a few minutes to send a quick email in support of SB 620. Contact information and email templates can be found at calwisespirits.com/takeaction. Your voices will be heard.

Good and Honorable, Lawful and Urgent: The Pilgrims

CONNIE PILLSBURY COMMENTARY

A

lthough 400 years have passed since the Mayflower landed, not much has changed in the universal human problem of the misuse of government power over people.

The ‘dissenters,’ now known as Pilgrims, were persecuted by an overbearing state regulating their religious practices and beliefs.

“Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” was as true in 1620 as today.

The Pilgrim story may well begin from the Reformation (mid-1500’s) and the ascendancy of the Church of England as the official state church of which the King was the temporal head. The

state church retained a type of Pope-like episcopal dignity with much power and jurisdiction over the people.

There were those in England who could not conscientiously subscribe to the laws and rituals laid down by the established church. They were dissenters or non-conformists described by William Bradford, first governor of Plymouth Colony, as “those who labored to have the right worship of God and discipline of Christ established in the Church, according to the simplicity of the gospel, without the mixture of men’s inventions and to have and be ruled by the laws of God’s word, dispensed by Pastors, Teachers and Elders according to the Scriptures.”

This strained situation led to the founding of the Separatist Church in 1602 by a Cambridge graduate, followed by the Scrooby community, in which William Brewster and William Bradford were prominent. These independent thinkers who firmly asserted their right to worship according to their beliefs

were in constant conflict with the authorities of the Church of England.

William Bradford wrote, “The contention was so great…even so far as to charge (very unjustly) some of their chief opposers with rebellion and high treason against the Emperor and other such crimes.” Regarding their treatment, he says: “They could not long continue in any peaceable condition but were hunted and persecuted on every side.”

From 1603 when King James I succeeded Elizabeth, conditions grew increasingly worse; Bradford wrote: “Seeing themselves thus molested and with no hope of continuing, they resolved to go into the Low Countries where they heard was freedom of religion for all men.” The migration to Holland in 1607-08 was not without its trials, as an old law made emigrating without authority a penal crime. Since ports were shut against them, they had to seek secret means of conveyance. Certain ship captains betrayed them to authorities and

plundered their possessions and funds. However, “These things did not dismay them, for their desires were set on the ways of God and his providence.”

After one difficult year in Amsterdam, the group moved north to Leyden, where they spent twelve years in exile, yet “living together in peace, love, and holiness.” King James was beginning to exercise influence in Holland, shown in the extreme when their printing house was raided with type, books, and presses seized by government authorities. They were forbidden to publish religious writings, and their meetings were banned. As persecutions increased, Bradford wrote, “A compelling force seemed to drive them on to seek some place of permanent settlement.”

“The place they had thoughts on were those countries of America, which are fruitful and fit for habitation…some encouraged, and others objected, noting the many inconceivable dangers, casualties of the seas, the length of the voyage, the miseries of the land

which they should be exposed unto would be too hard to bear and likely, some liable to famine, death and the want of all things,” wrote Bradford.

The response to the objections, Bradford wrote, was that “All noble and honorable actions were accomplished with great difficulties and must be overcome with answerable courage. The dangers were great but not desperate, and the difficulties were many but not invincible. True, such attempts were to be made upon good reason, not rashly as many have done for curiosity or hope of gain.

But their condition was not ordinary. Their ends were good and honorable, their calling lawful and urgent, and therefore they might expect a blessing; yea, although they should lose their lives in this action, yet they might have comfort in the same: and their endeavors would be honorable.”

Today, there are those pilgrims who would like to board a ‘Mayflower’ and head for a new land, seeking freedom from government overreach, corrupted

power, and overbearing authority. Their ends are also good and honorable, and their calling lawful and urgent. Since distant shores are all inhabited and occupied, our question is, what then will be our ‘Mayflower?’

Epilogue: Forty-five of the 102 Mayflower passengers died in the winter of 1620–21, and the Mayflower colonists suffered greatly during their first winter in the New World from lack of shelter, scurvy, and general conditions on board ship. My ancestors, William Mullins, wife, and son, were among those that died that first winter. They left one daughter, 17-year old Priscilla Mullins, who married the ship’s cooper (barrel-maker) John Alden. John and Priscilla are my ninth great grandparents.

Life Intelligence: How Your Attachment Style Affects Your Relationships

VALENTINA PETROVA

Y

COMMENTARY

ou’ve heard it. Attachment causes suffering.

Cultivating non-attachment towards your belongings or thoughts as the ultimate authority on how things are in the world might be a humbling and refining maturation process. Your attachment style in relationships, though—from the kitchen table to the bedroom and the boardroom, has a lot to do with how people

perceive you and experience you. It also has to do with what you gravitate toward and what your life ends up being.

Your attachment style develops during childhood and reflects your experience with your primary caretaker(s). Things like early childhood trauma and neglect on one end of the spectrum, and love and connection on the other, play a significant role in what attachment style you develop.

According to Attachment Theory, there are four characteristics of attachment.

• Proximity maintenance – the desire to be close to people.

• Safe haven – how comfortable you feel returning to the attachment figure for comfort and reassurance when afraid and uncomfortable.

• Secure base – having a base

from which to explore and always come back for security and support.

• Separation distress – anxiety experienced when the primary caretaker is not there.

You start by trying to negotiate these four dimensions as early as infancy. If you are raised with confidence, love, care, and encouraged to explore while providing safety, consistency, and support from infancy to early adulthood, you are less likely to be fearful, anxious, insecure. Your expectation of others to be there for you and how they will relate to you depends on how your primary caretakers responded to you and how available they were to you.

Future experiences through adulthood will evolve your style, either affirming it or transforming it to some degree, but not too much. If

you want to change your attachment style, you will have to work hard, very mindfully, consistently, and methodically to reprogram your instincts.

There are 4 attachment styles.

The Secure Attachment Style The person feels comfortable forming and maintaining relationships, expressing feelings and needs, and trusting their partners.

They are reliable and feel comfortable asking for help. They are dependable and depend on others as needed. Usually, emotionally intelligent, honest, and with healthy self-esteem. They allow others space. Not clingy, but there when you need them. While they thrive in their relationships and do not fear being alone. They don’t require approval and tend to have a generally positive view of others.

Bond well and maintain healthy

boundaries. They have a high need for achievement and low fear of failure. As children, they felt secure and supported in exploring then returning to their safe haven and secure base. Their primary caretakers were there when needed, loving, encouraging, forgiving, and responsive.

Securely attached individuals have a high concern for others.

By adulthood, they’ve built a high level of self-efficacy. They feel comfortable removing problematic, bad-influence people from their lives and do not fear challenging situations.

In a romantic relationship, they show problem-solving skills, communicate well, are mentally flexible, self-reflective, mindful, and emotionally intelligent, and avoid manipulation and drama.

They are comfortable with close-

ness, intimacy, sharing, and easily forgive. They care about their partners, want to be fair, but when they come across someone who does not meet their needs, manipulates, or is the cause of unnecessary emotional turbulence, they will quickly lose interest.

The other three attachment styles (Avoidant-Dismissive, Anxious-Preoccupied, and Fearful-Avoidant) are all insecure and problematic in different ways.

Read about them and what you need to do to develop a more secure attachment style on my blog at vpetrova.com.

Mark Twain came here for a short period before being run out of the West and wrote that “The West was fabulously rich in thieves, murderers, desperados, lawyers, Christians, Indians, Chinamen, Spaniards, gamblers, sharpers, coyotes, poets, preachers and jackass rabbits.”

Owen Wister, who wrote the classic book The Virginian, said the West was full of “horses better bred than the women who ride them and dogs with pedigrees better than their masters.”

It was said the West was a dangerous place where no one died naturally. Elmer Kelton wrote, “It was man’s country, good for men and mules but Hell on women.” The West was portrayed as a place “30 miles to water, 20 miles to wood and 10 miles to Hell.”

93 percent of all federally owned land lies in 12 western states and the feds in Washington DC control more than 50 percent of most states west of the Rockies.

Whereas in northeastern states, it’s less than 1 percent. How would easterners like it if the boot was on the other foot? The Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management employ 40,000 people to manage 446 million acres in the West, and the words written in the Declaration of Independence regarding King George III could easily apply to Westerners today: “He has erected a multitude of New Offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.”

Maybe it’s time we take a page out of the history books and do what they did in Palisades, Nevada, and greet every plane full of easterners with a welcoming committee of murderers, desperados, lawyers, con men, mountain lions, gunslingers, and wild Indians, so they’ll get scared and stay in Washington DC and leave us the Hell alone.

Counter-Human Trafficking Task Force

By SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTER-HUMAN TRAFFICKING TASK FORCE BOARD

How Did We Get Here?

We must call pimping and trafficking what it is: abuse and oppression—modern-day slavery

T

We need to stop giving a pass to sex buyers and call it what it is: victimization, objectification, and the commoditization of another human being for sexual purposes.

he truth about human trafficking and prostitution is that there is nothing glamourous about the lifestyle or subculture. While Hollywood and many media outlets have glamorized the world of prostitution and pimping, the reality is that there is nothing attractive or redeeming about what happens to the victims of human trafficking or those caught in the web of forced prostitution. It is anything but a positive experience.

The question must be asked, “how did we get to this point in the United States? How did we get to this point on the central coast? How did we get to the point where the use and abuse of some of the most vulnerable people in our population are seen as acceptable or brushed under the carpet?”

Over the past few decades, we as a society have glamorized the pimping subculture, sexualized our young, and bought into the lie that the crime of prostitution is a victimless crime. It should be noted that men and women, boys and girls, can all fall victim to sex trafficking. Statistics, however, indicate that women and girls most often are victimized. For the most part, it is our girls and women that fall prey to traffickers and abusers.

We have seen the pimping lifestyle celebrated on television shows like “Pimp My Ride.” Blockbuster movies have been made about pimps and traffickers, painting them in a positive light. Businesses incorporate the term pimp in their establishment’s names. The term pimp permeates our children’s social media accounts and is used in complementary and boastful terms. We throw the term “pimp” around recklessly and without thought. In some video games, players can earn extra points for robbing a prostitute. That same player can earn even more points and potential level advancement for assaulting and killing a prostitute, perpetuating the belief that a prostitute or “hoe” is worth more dead than alive. The positive spin on pimps and the pimp subculture that has been perpetuated online, in social media circles, in video games, and in our day-to-day speech is a huge hurdle for us to overcome if we are to disrupt and dismantle the trafficking networks that are all too prevalent in our communities.

For the most part, most people agree that traffickers need to be punished and held accountable for their actions, but what about addressing the root cause of human trafficking? That root cause being the purchasers. The sex buyers. The “Johns,” the “tricks.” They are the ones fueling the prostitution and trafficking market. They are the ones fueling the child sex trafficking trade. Sadly, that market is alive and well, and not just in the big cities or areas of lower socioeconomic status. It is everywhere. There is a thriving market here in San Luis Obispo County, much to the disbelief and surprise of many people.

Sex buyers are the singular reason why the sex trafficking industry exists.

Without demand, there is no need for a supply. Unfortunately, society often gives the sex buyer a pass. Society calls prostitution a victimless crime, which could not be further from the truth. Society sometimes says a “prostitute” is an adult and is making her own choice. Society sometimes says, “boys will be boys” when referring to sex buyers, which is wholly unacceptable and needs to be erased from our vocabulary regarding the human sex trade. In reality, as a child, who says they want to grow up and be a prostitute and be repeatedly victimized by sex buyers that view them as disposable commodities? Who wants to be “rented” by a sex buyer for the purpose of sexual gratification? The renting of another person’s body for the purpose of sexual gratification should be seen as unacceptable by every single person in our civilized society, but sadly it is not.

We need to stop giving a pass to sex buyers and call it what it is: victimization, objectification, and the commoditization of another human being for

sexual purposes.

So, who exactly is fueling this illicit and destructive industry? It is anyone and everyone. They are everywhere in our community. They are felons as much as they are seemingly upstanding members of our towns. They are neighbors and friends, coworkers and family members potentially. Anyone can be a sex buyer. Proactive sex purchaser operations conducted in San Luis Obispo County have confirmed this: local sex buyers contacted by investigators are young and older men, businessmen, laborers, fathers, and husbands. Sex buyers can be and are anyone.

Current statistics indicate that 60 percent of sex workers are being trafficked with some aspect of force, fear, or coercion being involved in their victimization. Additionally, 38 percent of sex workers are engaged in some form of “survival sex,” and only 2 percent are sex workers by choice. Thus, using these numbers, 98 percent of individuals involved in sex work are working against their will—it is not a choice.

Other factors to consider are that sex workers are more likely to be murdered than the rest of the population. Their mortality rate is much higher, and the likelihood of being the victim of a violent act is approximately 400 percent higher than the rest of the population. Again, who would truly want to sign up for this lifestyle and be in a perpetual state of danger?

A trafficking victim may be sold up to twenty times a day. Using those numbers, the harsh truth and reality is that a trafficking victim is actually being raped twenty times a day. Since sexual intercourse requires consent to be legal, someone performing sex acts at the direction of and for the benefit of a trafficker against their will is not consensual. Thus, sex buyers are perpetuating the victimization of their fellow humans and supporting the rape and victimization of some of our society’s most vulnerable people.

Sadly, we do, in fact, know in part how we got here. The sex trafficking industry is fueled by a depraved sexual demand that objectifies another human while deeming that person disposable. There is money to be made which is where the pimps and traffickers step in, capitalizing on sex purchasers’ wants and desires: demand and supply.

The lingering question is still, where do we go from here, knowing what we know. There are things we can do that can help immensely. First, we need to get to a point where we no longer glamorize and celebrate the human trafficking and prostitution subculture. We need to no longer celebrate the pimping lifestyle. We need to realize that traffickers have done a very good job of convincing the public, law enforcement, and lawmakers that human trafficking is too big a problem for us to tackle.

We need to shift our mindset. We must call the illicit sex industry what it is: victimization and the use and abuse of our boys, girls, women, and men. We must call pimping and trafficking what it is: abuse and oppression—modernday slavery. We must call sex purchasing and sex buyers what they are: fuel for the illicit sex industry. “Johns” and sex purchasers must no longer get a pass and need to be on notice for being a root cause for the sex trafficking industry and forced prostitution. We as a community need to say that the demand for purchased sex, whether it is in a hotel, on the internet, or on the street, is no longer acceptable. We need to call pimping and trafficking what it is and longer romanticize such an evil and sadistic lifestyle. We as a society need to take pimps and traffickers as well as sex buyers off their pedestal and call forced prostitution sex trafficking what it is and not continue to water it down.

expanding its Hispanic programs and availability.

The CSC-CCC Lights of Hope fundraiser is also returning to the Downtown City Park for its tenth anniversary. Last year’s Lights of Hope event was canceled due to COVID restrictions.

“This year, we are excited to be able to gather together to serve our community to light up the trees in the downtown City Park, and those lights will sparkle through the winter season,” says Sanders.

On Friday, Nov. 26, the Paso Robles City Park trees will be lit for Lights of Hope in honor of those affected by cancer.

Each year, the City of Paso Robles collaborates with CSC-CCC to light up the Downtown City Park trees to kick off the holiday season. The lights are put up and sponsored by the Cancer Support Community as a fundraising opportunity to support their mission “so that no one faces cancer alone.”

CSC-CCC is currently looking for sponsors to light up the trees this holiday season.

Members of the community can sponsor a tree, branch, limb, or bulb as a tribute to cancer patients, survivors, and those lost to cancer while shining a light on the CSC-CCC mission and creating a festive environment for our local community during the holidays.

“We are looking forward to seeing a lot of people come out and help shine a light on our mission so that no one faces cancer alone,” says Sanders.

While Lights of Hope is celebrating its tenth anniversary, the City will coincidently be celebrating its 35th Annual Downtown Lighting Ceremony.

With the help of CSC-CCC, seventeen trees will be lit up to begin the holiday festivities. Families can enjoy hot chocolate, music, caroling, and cookies, all while spreading the mission of a good cause.

“The lights of hope are our way to beautify the City Park for the holidays, but they are also there to raise awareness as well as funds for our program in a unique and special way,” says Sanders.

Lights of Hope and the 35th Annual Downtown Lighting Ceremony is on Friday, Nov. 26, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

• The average number of Veteran suicides per day was 17.6 in 2018.

After Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Chad Robichaux served eight tours of duty as a United States Marine Corps Force Recon, he was diagnosed with PTSD. His diagnosis led him on a journey to create the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a non-profit committed to serving veterans and first responders suffering from PTSD. The Mighty Oaks Foundation is committed to serving the brokenhearted by providing intensive peer-based discipleship through a series of programs, outpost meetings, and speaking events.

Mighty Oaks started in Colorado in 2011 and has grown into four locations— including one at the Sky Rose Ranch in Paso Robles.

Jamie Warner, the foundations West Coast Regional Facilitator and former USMC Naval Aviator, said, “Our mission is to serve our nation’s warriors and their families who have endured hardships in their service to America whether they are a veteran, active duty or a first responder and help them find new life purpose

ago. I started reaching out to the community, doing my research, and just trying to find out how to get this [library] started. [I had] never done it before, obviously, so it’s like ‘what do you do? How do you start a library?”

In 2000 the Templeton Community Library Association was formed, keeping Josh’s dream of a library in Templeton alive.

“It’s inspiring to be here today. To see the effort that’s been carried on by the community. Huge shout out to Melinda Reed, who’s really been excited to keep this thing going the entire time. I’m grateful for her,” Gibson concluded.

The library, a rarity to the county, will be privately funded without county or state funding. Fundraising is still taking place, but a large donation and bequest of Margaret Anderson Radunich’s will, landed the TCLA where they are today.

Reed remembers Margaret fondly. “She began giving money to us [TCLA] in early 2005. She lived in Monterey at the time. She

had no children of her own, and she was a widow. So she left us, at the bequest of [her will] nearly a million dollars. But she has given us more than that over the course of all of the time it [the will] accumulated. She saw the vision and wanted us to be able to do it [build the library], and we’re so grateful.”

The library will be a state-of-the-art Modular Building made up of nine pieces.

Three will be put together for admin and bathrooms, and the other six will make up the library itself. The building is slated to be delivered on-site the second week of December. It will hopefully be open and fully operational in the early Spring of 2022 with a full staff of trained volunteers.

“We are going to have an open library with all the book stacks and bookcases around the parameter. And we have space for book-club meetings, and private groups that want to gather in the library. As well as computers and WiFi and technology and all the good stuff,” Melinda Reed said. “To see the hole dug in the ground, it’s a reality that’s come to fruition. We’re very happy.” Former Boy Scout Josh Gibson alongside his sons Grant and Colton with TCLA See you in the stacks soon!

rary campus. The change order covers the cost for sewage repair and clean-up of modular building #26.

The total cost of the change order is $54,921.90 from Measure M Funds.

Staff continues to negotiate with parties to finalize remaining costs, which can be addressed through the retention process.

Trustees approved the change order with an amendment that the cost comes first from developmental fees or the general fund if possible.

However, if the funds cannot come from those paying the repair costs, it will be paid for with Measure M funds.

With a 4-2 vote (Bausch and Baker voted no), the Board approved a proposal from Walters Ventures, Inc. to extend the project schedule for DSA (Division of the State Architect) IOR (Inspector of Record) services for Glen Speck Elementary School.

Delays in the project schedule require that the Inspector of Record (required by the Division of State Architect) contract be extended. The total cost is $219,880 from Measure M Funds.

Baker and Bausch also voted no to approve a proposal from Earth Systems, Inc. The proposal was again to extend testing and inspection services for Glen Speck Elementary School.

Utilizing peer leadership, participants find common ground through shared experiences and understanding, allowing greater potential for growth and recovery within the men. By discovering the truth about discipline, brotherhood, legacy, courage, honor, faith, and family, men develop authentic character and learn to live a life of leadership. We equip our Warriors to fight through life’s challenges and discover the very purpose for their lives moving forward.”

Warner often sees a common misconception coming from civilians and veterans: a veteran experiencing PTSD is broken and damaged.

One thing Warner says they try to make clear to veterans is Post Traumatic Stress is not a disorder. Instead, they try to retrain people to understand that post-traumatic stress is a normal reaction to the abnormal and horrific situations that veterans and first responders often find themselves in.

To all Veterans, we thank you for your courage, dedication, and hard work to preserve the American freedoms we hold dear. And thank you to the military families for their support, resilience, and sacrifice.

One of the activities Warriors participate in is a horseback ride at the Work-Family Ranch in San Miguel. The Work-family has been a proud supporter of the Mighty Oaks since it first came to Paso Robles.

“We are faith-based, but we don’t force anything on anyone—this is what works for us,” explained Warner.

All the instructors and counselors at Mighty Oaks have gone through the program themselves and are also veterans.

“They are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders—when they arrive, you can see it on their face,” said Warner.

He explains how Mighty Oaks is often a last resort for many of the veterans they meet, and there is always an impactful moment to witness.

“Oftentimes, you’ll hear guys say, ‘I have a stronger brotherhood now than I ever had in the military, and I didn’t think that was possible.’ I see miraculous changes every single week, and it never ceases to amaze me.”

The Mighty Oaks Foundation explains how their programs work the best.

He adds, “We are unashamedly a faithbased program.”

There are five programs developed for veterans: • Legacy Program for Men • Legacy Program for Women • Military Resiliency Programs • Marriage Advance • Aftercare Sky Rose Ranch has hosted the Mighty Oaks since 2012 and handles mainly the Legacy Program for men and women.

According to Warner, the foundation has served over 4,000 veterans since its inception.

The Veterans, or Warriors as they are called here, who attend are fully sponsored for training, meals, and lodging needs to ensure that upon arrival to the ranch, each Warrior is focused solely on his or her recovery and identifying purpose moving forward.

The Mighty Oaks Warrior programs are privately funded. No one coming to the program will ever have to pay for travel to and from the program or anything while they are there.
