PASO ROBLES — Denise Kudla was a wonderful individual who loved life and showed everyone how to love.

In 2019, Denise Kudla passed away in a horrible automobile accident. There was a Celebration of Life event for Denise and her family at the Cabernet Links and RV Resort on Nov. 2, 2019, where over 1,500 people attended.

Funds were raised at the event to support some of Denise’s favorite programs. Unfortunately, the distribution of funds was delayed when the COVID pandemic made its appearance.

Finally, the money raised in Denise’s name has been distributed to their rightful places: • Paso Robles Youth Arts Foundation - $3,000 • Boys and Girls Club in Paso Robles - $3,000 • Wine Country Theater $2,000

PASO ROBLES — On Sept.

16, the annual Ladies Luncheon was held honoring Paso Robles Pioneer Royalty and ladies of the North County.

This year’s luncheon was held at the Estrella Warbirds Museum, “Celebrating 91 years of the Pioneer Spirit.”

All lady royalty and family were invited to the luncheon.

When Pioneer Day was first celebrated on Oct. 12, 1931, many traditions were born for Paso Robles. One being the Pioneer Day Royalty.

Queens, Marshals, and Belles are chosen based on their family’s lineage or connection to Paso Robles’ history.

This year’s Pioneer Day Queen Irene Marquart was accompanied by her daughters Nancy Marquart Otto and Lucille Marquart Milani.

Irene and her family moved to the Creston area from Arkansas

Additionally, the 2020 and 2021 Pioneer Day belles and their attendants were present.

TEMPLETON

H.6. Approve Consultant Agreements: Education Services Retirees Dr. Patrick Sayne and Mr. Tom Apkarian have agreed to provide consulting and coordinating services for the District.

Specifically, the consultants will provide services and duties to include attendance at meetings requiring an administrator to be present such as IEPs, general campus supervision and attendance at events if needed, observance of classes, and review of course descriptions and teacher-submitted syllabi.

The consultants will assist with these and other duties as appropriate. Agreements are not to exceed $6,500 each.

Trustee Chris Bausch issued concern over re-hiring Dr. Sayne, a former PRJUSD superintendent, due to a letter in a local news source he co-signed against some of the trustees.

Superintendent Curt Dubost responded, saying, “I do not believe a position that a person takes in a political election should preclude them for a position at a later date.

I don’t see the connection.”

Trustee Tim Gearhart said, “I have mixed personal feelings about the gentleman [Dr. Sayne], but he is honest. He has integrity and a heck of a lot of wisdom that we can take advantage of.”

The board of trustees decided to pass item H6 with a 6-0 vote, with Lance Gannon absent from the meeting.

Item H.7. Approve New Job Description: Account Tech II was tabled for the next school board meeting.

The board accepted several donations with a 6-0 vote: 1. Wonderful Company Foundation donation of $500 to Paso Robles High School.

f you live in and love Paso like so many of us do, then October brings that feeling of excitement and joy with the arrival of “Pioneer Day.” It’s reunion time for residents in and around town and a great display of our history for visitors.

This tradition started in 1931. On Oct. 9, we will celebrate the 91st year.

The parade begins at 10 a.m. on 16th and Spring Streets. Everyone used to meet in the park after the parade with family picnics everywhere. The city did and still does provide the beans because a picnic is more than eating a meal; it’s a pleasurable state of mind. There were events in the park for everyone. It has always been a time to gather, visit, enjoy and appreciate our quality of life.

Paso Robles High School, home of the Bearcats, has a custom of celebrating class reunions on “Pioneer Day.” This year marks the 70th gathering for the class of 1951. There are some VIPs in this class: Norma Della Moye, Carolyn Bircher Dildine, Ann Batts Kellerbrew, Barbara Ernst Silva, Elaine Goodall Smith, Dottie Stauffer Keller, Darlene Vestnys Gates, Johnny Bertoni, Jerry Corbaley, Stanley Stevens, and Richard Yost. These, along with a few more, will be sitting in the park watching the parade. So stop by and say Hello and hear some great Bearcat stories. After nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world. Remember Paso was a small town in 1951 where everybody

knows what everybody else is doing, and all buy the weekly newspaper to see how much the editor dares to print.

After recovery from the Pioneer festivities, we move forward to Oct. 23, when Main Street hosts the Golden Oak Honey-Pumpkin Festival featuring the Kids Trading Post. The park will be full of vendors of all kinds. The Kids Trading Post is the perfect opportunity for kids to learn to be merchants. They can set up a booth and sell their toys, crafts, and things they know other children want. It’s fun to watch and a great hands-on education for kids. Call the Main Street office for information and to sign up at (805)238-4103. You can also email info@pasoroblesdowntown.org.

The Safe and Fun Halloween Downtown has been canceled again this year for the safety of everyone!

But, won’t it be nice when life, as we know and love it, returns to normal!!

Love October! Listen! The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves.

We have had our summer evening, now October eves. Time is Flying!! Being in a hurry does not slow downtime.

I began to think in an age of speed; nothing could be more invigorating than going slow.

Slow Down and enjoy life! It’s not only the scenery you miss by going too fast...you also miss the sense of where you are going and why! To develop and strengthen our spiritual life, we need to slow down and let go! Slow down, life is crossing the road, and the end of 2021 is just ahead...Slow down and enjoy the ride!!

SLO Food Bank Receives 10,260 Pounds of Fair Meat Beef will be distributed countywide through SLO Food Bank’s agency partners in the upcoming weeks STAFF REPORT

SAN LUIS OBISPO — After going completely virtual with last year’s livestock auction, the California Mid-State Fair (CMSF) was excited to hold the Junior Livestock Auction in person this July. This event affords children of all ages the hands-on experience of raising livestock for sale, and, for many participants, the sale of their livestock provides hunger relief to thousands of struggling San Luis Obispo County residents. This year, thanks to the generosity of the community and the continued support of compassionate partners, 10,260 pounds of beef were donated to the SLO Food Bank. This vital commodity will be distributed countywide through the

SLO Food Bank’s direct distribution sites and its agency partners over the coming weeks.

2021 marks the second year that the James W. Brabeck Youth Legacy Fund’s ( JWBYLF) Buyers’ Coalition stepped forward to lead this noble effort.

Powered by the charitable contributions of community members, the Buyers’ Coalition purchased 18 head of steer to support local hunger relief efforts. SLO Food Bank Board of Directors ViceChair, Joe Simonin participated in the Junior Livestock Auction as a bidder on behalf of the Food Bank. Simonin worked closely with JoAnn Wall, Buyer’s Coalition Committee Chair, who led the effort to track the day’s busy purchasing activity. Together, they worked to support the Future Farmers of America (FFA) and 4-H students’ efforts while simultaneously providing a valuable resource for hunger relief in SLO County.

“The young people who chose to exhibit a livestock project at this year’s

CMSF knew going in that there was great risk to their endeavors, and they chose to do it anyway. I think it took great courage and perseverance to see these projects through, and the JWBYLF Buyers’ Coalition was proud to be there in person to contribute to their success on the auction block. The fact that we are able to donate much-needed protein to the food insecure in our community makes these efforts so much sweeter”, shared JoAnn. After livestock is purchased, it needs to be transported for processing, packaging, and distribution. These associated expenses can be costly, and thankfully, Templeton and Visalia Livestock Markets and Central Valley Meat / Harris Ranch continued their generous support of this program by handling all the transportation, processing, and packaging fees for the donated beef at no cost to the SLO Food Bank. This cost savings allows the SLO Food Bank to direct its finite funds to provide thousand more

meals throughout SLO County.

“The Mid-State fair protein donated to the SLO Food Bank is truly a community success story,” shared vicechair Simonin. “The collaborative effort between the SLO Food Bank, the Jim Brabeck Buyers’ Coalition, and Central Valley Meat/Harris Ranch are a testament to the community coming together to address a vital need.” Simonin concluded, “This effort is a real accomplishment thoughtfully executed by many great people!”

About

The SLO Food Bank is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization serving all of San Luis Obispo County through its direct food programs and network of agency partners.

The SLO Food Bank’s mission is to alleviate hunger in San Luis Obispo County and build a healthier community. In 2020, the SLO Food Bank distributed over 5 million pounds of food to help our neighbors struggling with hunger. Prior to the pandemic, one in six SLO County residents was food

PASO ROBLES — Are you a Horse Racing fan? Have you been itching to watch the ponies run and place a bet now that the pandemic restrictions have eased? Do you want to support the youth of our community? Well, here is your chance!

On Sunday, Oct. 3, The Optimist Club of Paso Robles is hosting a “Day at the Races” Stick Horse Race at Rio Seco Winery, 4295 Union Road, Paso Robles. Gates will open at 11:45 a.m., with the first race starting at 12:30 p.m. sharp. This event is being held as the Optimist Club’s annual fundraiser to provide High School Scholarships and support other youth activities in the local community.

A Stick Horse Race utilizes plywood horse cut-outs, which are mounted on a pole and attached to a concrete base. The horse cut-outs have been painted by local businesses and patrons of the event. A pair of dice will be rolled, indicating the number of spaces and which horses will move along the track. The horses will continue to move around the track until the Win, Place, and Show horses cross the finish line.

Attendees will be able to “bet” on the horse they think will win each race using raffle tickets. Prizes will be drawn from the winning raffle bins.

Raffle prizes have been generously donated by various local businesses, and there will be a Grand Prize drawing at the end of the day. There

will be a total of seven races during the event, with time between each race to mingle, eat, take photos, or enjoy the race day atmosphere. There will also be a contest for Best Decorated Horse, Best Derby Hat, and Best Derby Day Attire. Derby Day attire is welcomed and encouraged.

Food services will be available for purchase by local food vendors. Wine will be sold by Rio Seco Winery with a discount offered on select varieties.

Gate entry tickets are $30 per person. Package specials are available, which include event entry, betting raffle tickets, and drink coupons.

Event Tickets are available now and are limited to 200 people.

Due to the COVID restrictions last year, the Optimist Club of Paso Robles was unable to hold their regular annual fundraiser. This “Day at the Races” event will generate much-needed funds to support High School Scholarships and other youth activities in the local community. The Optimist Club of Paso Robles is the local chapter of Optimist International, an international service organization dedicated to improving the lives of youth in the communities in which they serve. The club is always seeking new members who are interested in working with local youth.

Meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday evenings of each month.

Templeton Unified School District Addresses Goals for ’21-’22 Templeton schools are reporting higher enrollment than projected

By MELISSA GUERRA

TEMPLETON — The Templeton Unified School District held a regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, Sept. 23, at 6:15 p.m. for open session. Trustee Vierra was absent due to the fires.

The meeting opened with nothing to report on closed session and an adjustment to the agenda order to start with item 14.1, the Templeton High School FFA presentation. The presentation highlighted the different competitions and conferences that provide training and opportunity to high school students. Among the items was a job interview competition in which students created resumes, practiced interviews, and gave a speech on a chosen agriculture topic in order to hone their skills for future interviews.

The Board then presented the English Language Development update, which included a presentation of the students who have achieved the title of English Language Proficient. Each student was honored, and photo opportunities were available.

Item 7.1 was the public hearing regarding the Disclosure of Collective Bargaining Agreement with Templeton Teachers Association (TTA); with no public or Board comment on the item, the Board moved on to 8.1, which is the action on the item. The presentation highlighted

the good partnership between both groups in having a civil, productive negotiation in finding a middle ground for the settlement. The agreement was approved.

Item 10.3 was a presentation of the first draft of the Core Values, Beliefs, Mission, and Vision Updates. This item was set to be looked into prior to COVID but put on hold until now when there was time and space to look into the values of the organization. This presentation was a draft and open to feedback, adjustment, and conversation.

The goal was to speak on student outcomes and student well-being, as well as the collective values on the broader scale of staff, parents, and community.

Item 11.1 was the Superintendent’s Report, which started with the AB 361 extension of the Brown Act exemptions with application to remote meetings. The Board will be required to assess every 30 days the need for continuing virtual meetings, even though the Board is currently holding hybrid meetings which allow for in-person and remote. The superintendent also reported on Denim and Diamonds fundraiser event, which was well attended, and TES raised more than in past years.

The Board moved on to the consent agenda. Item 13.5 (Approval of Interdistrict Transfer Requests) was pulled, and the rest of the consent agenda was approved 5-0. Item 13.5 was approved after a correction to verbiage the was mistakenly put in.

The Board goals for the 2021-2022 school year focused on the major goals as well as the subgoals within those goals. Many goals throughout different departments were discussed. One goal was to do assessments in order to

HISTORY

ensure that the students were meeting the standards being set as well as ensuring that the teachers are effectively teaching the subjects. Also, a focus was on making college information available as well as tracking attendance and contacting families struggling with attendance in order to see students achieve.

Public comment on this item was opened up, but for some technical error, the Board couldn’t hear the caller even though those on zoom could hear. Trustee Yamagata asked if staff could work on the issue and try to come back to the caller and item after moving on to other items. Her comment was written in, and Trustee Dubost read it for her. It asked about the ability to purchase iPad insurance or what the plan was for replacing iPads within the school. It was explained that the iPads are purchased on an ongoing basis, but the plan to do a larger rotation of the iPads as is done with the Chromebooks is coming.

The item was again opened to the public for any final comment and was approved 5-0.

The next item was enrollment, which is tracked in order to plan for class sizes, as well as funding. The positive report is that the school is about 25 students above the projected enrollment.

Item 15.1 was the need for fully qualified educators.

There are currently only seven teachers who are teaching in an area that isn’t exactly what their credential authorizes.

The district will then go through proper credentialing programs to ensure that all teachers are fully qualified.

The item was approved 5-0.

The next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 14 at 6:15 p.m.

SACRAMENTO — Governor Newsom has announced the signing of Senate Bill 496, authored by Senator John Laird (D – Santa Cruz) to fund the Pajaro River Flood Risk Management Project. This bill directs the Department of Water Resources to pay 100 percent of the state’s cost share for reconstruction of the Pajaro River Flood Risk Management Project. This funding will enable environmental projects, including groundwater management, floodplain recharge, and fishery protection.

“Today marks a momentous day for the flood-prone communities of Watsonville and Pajaro,” said Laird. “Governor Newsom’s signature of SB 496 will provide 100-year flood prevention in a region that has faced years of hardship due to unmet needs for infrastructure repair. This bill reflects a meaningful investment in a safer future for residents of Senate District 17.”

Since the construction of the levee system in 1949, there have been four major floods on the Pajaro River and its tributaries, resulting in the tragic loss of two lives in 1995 and ongoing costs in the millions of dollars in damages to critical infrastructure.

Notably, the Pajaro River project affects some of the most productive farmland in the world, as agriculture is a $750,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 per year industry in the Pajaro Valley.

“As a proud co-author of SB 496, I am grateful that Governor Newsom signed this critical public safety bill into law,” stated Assemblymember Robert Rivas.

“This urgently needed update to our laws will protect lives, infrastructure, and property in some of our most vulnerable communities, and I applaud Senator Laird for moving this important policy across the finish line.”

SB 496 represents collaborative state leadership to address the economic needs of those living in Watsonville and Pajaro, where per-capita income is less than half the state and national average.

“The State’s commitment to our community through this legislation is nothing short of historic,” said Santa Cruz County Supervisor Zach Friend, Chair of the Zone 7 Board of Directors.

“For decades, Watsonville and the Town of Pajaro have lived under the fear of flooding, and unquestionably, hope is on the horizon.

With current flood protection levels that are some of the worst in the nation, the State’s assistance cannot come soon enough and is greatly appreciated.”

Monterey County Supervisor John Phillips notes, “The Pajaro Levee improvement project is an extremely important, long-term safety project which has been in the works for decades. Thanks to the tireless support from our state advocate John Laird, Monterey County is poised to receive the necessary funds to lessen the local matching requirement and reduce the financial burden on local families. For over 50 years, the people of Pajaro have lived with the risk of deadly flooding, and this support means they will get provided the flood safety they have long awaited.”

“This funding is a major milestone for a project that has been decades in the making,” said Watsonville Mayor Jimmy Dutra. “We are incredibly thankful for Senator Laird’s leadership and advocacy and the many dedicated City and County staff that helped make this a reality.”

Senate Bill 496 will take effect on Jan 1, 2022.

INCIDENT

Local Threat Reported By Atascadero High Student Invalidated The message was found to have originated from another state STAFF REPORT

ATASCADERO — On Sept. 22, a student reported to Atascadero High School officials a Snap Chat posting that had threats of a potential school shooting. The text warned of a potential shooting for the 23 or 24, and cautioned persons not to go to school. This threat

was a photograph of a message written on a restroom wall.

School personnel reported the incident to the Atascadero Police School Resource Officer who conducted the initial interview and obtained a screenshot of the text.

Atascadero Police Detectives, along with the School Resource Officer and with the assistance of school personnel verified that the message was not in any school in Atascadero. APD contacted agencies in the San Luis Obispo Area as well as the Santa Maria FBI field office to coordinate

efforts to verify or dispute the validity of the threat.

After utilizing statewide investigative resources, Atascadero PD received information that the threat had originated in a school district in another state and had been proliferated on social media.

Atascadero PD is thankful for the cooperation with the Atascadero Unified School District, Law Enforcement Agencies of San Luis Obispo County, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for their assistance in this investigation.

We are grateful for the student who had the courage to step up and say something, and we encourage everyone in our community to do the same, “if you see something, say something.” Atascadero Police Department, as well as AUSD and all law enforcement agencies, take any reported threats of this nature seriously and work tirelessly to keep our communities safe.

For further information, please contact the Atascadero Police Department at (805) 461-5051.

JLSB Supports Survivors of Sexual Exploitation S.A.F.E. House Santa Barbara™ is a 6-bed therapeutic, rehabilitative shelter for minor female survivors STAFF REPORT

SANTA BARBARA — The Membership of Junior League of Santa Barbara ( JLSB) gathered on Monday, Sept. 13, for a fully outdoor September General Membership Meeting where they assembled backpacks with school supplies for the girls at S.A.F.E. (Saving At-risk Youth From Exploitation) House Santa Barbara™ as well as goodie bags for the transition-age youth who reside at Living Arrows™.

S.A.F.E. House Santa Barbara™ is a 6-bed therapeutic, rehabilitative shelter for minor female survivors of commercial sexual exploitation. It opened May 31, 2018 as a joint effort between JLSB and 4 Kids 2 Kids, Inc, which holds the state license and administers the program.

JLSB teamed up again with 4 Kids 2 Kids, Inc. in September 2020 to support Living Arrows™, a fully-licensed Transitional Age Youth housing program that specifically caters to female survivors of sexual exploitation who are aged 18 21. By providing financial and material support during the start-up period, JLSB will ensure the stability and longevity of Living Arrows™.

Living Arrows™ opened in August 2020 and is the first of its kind in the tri-county area. It is the next step for many of the S.A.F.E. House Santa Barbara™ graduates, and by staying in the county, the girls’ therapeutic services remain consistent, allowing minimal disruption to their healing process.

The Membership of JLSB also donated cookbooks and put together their favorite recipes for the current residents of Living Arrows, who are ready to start cooking.

It was the first of many opportunities for JLSB members and residents of the two programs to connect during the 20212022 League Year.

The strategic partnership between JLSB and 4 Kids 2 Kids, Inc. is not only unique in the service of minor survivors of trafficking but also incredibly impactful. The two organizations have been able to change the trajectory of many lives for the better.

Staff from 4 Kids 2 Kids, Inc. was on hand at the Sept. 13 meeting to share updates from their programs. So far, 118 individuals have benefited from 4 Kids 2 Kids, Inc. services since JLSB became involved, with an overwhelming majority having a positive outcome. JLSB will continue to take a supportive role in helping the homes, as well as providing continued wrap-around services to support the needs of the homes and its clients.

SMART CASE UPDATE

Paul and Ruben Flores Will Go To Trial Supervisors Vote to For Murder of Kristin Smart Approve an Amendment Judge van Rooyen ruled was presented on Overnight Parking Rules sufficienttoevidence move forward

The Board will bring back the item of the appointment of County Clerk-Recorder

By MELISSA GUERRA

SAN LUIS OBISPO — The San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors held a regularly scheduled meeting on Sept. 28 at 9 a.m. The meeting opened with the removal of item 34, an appeal by the Port San Luis Harbor District, as it had been withdrawn. Item 23 was also pulled from the agenda. The item was to recognize Dr. James Beebe upon retirement, but due to an illness, he stayed home.

The meeting then went to public comment on the consent agenda, followed by approval of the consent agenda with a 5-0 vote.

Next, the Board submitted a resolution recognizing Ann McDowell upon her retirement from the county where she was hired in 2001 as the Epidemiologist. McDowell originally turned in her resignation in December 2019 but graciously stayed on another 19 months to aid the county and her successor in the transition during the pandemic.

The Board then recognized Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 as National Hispanic Heritage Month in San Luis Obispo, which began in 1968 as a week and has expanded into a month.

Public comment for items not on the agenda had many citizens from Los Osos speak about the overnight camping of unhoused individuals on Palisades Avenue, a continued problem over the last several months. Richard von Stein, a retired dentist, implored the Board saying, “Palisades Avenue does need to be given back to the citizens,” as well as asking that the Kansas Ave facility be opened to volunteers so he could do dental screenings as well as others who could offer their services.

Supervisor Debbie Arnold spoke regarding the prior Board decision to bring forward seven candidates for County Clerk-Recorder, while staff is only bringing forward three applicants. Arnold made a motion to bring this item back as an agonized item to discuss at the next meeting. Supervisor John Peschong asked if it was possible to bring back more applicants without having a Board discussion on it. County Council, Rita Neal, spoke to the interpretation of staff as being the option to bring up to seven candidates and that in order to bring back more, it would need to be agendized on the next meeting. Peschong then seconded the motion.

Supervisor Bruce Gibson said that “I’m astounded that this motion even got a second… to appease those who have come pushing the big lie of election fraud, and there is only one thing that those who push the big lie on election fraud want and that is to subvert future elections. To vote yes on this motion quite clearly sets us down the path to subvert future elections in this county. I have absolutely no doubt as to the integrity of the election process in this county.”

The motion went to a vote and was approved 3-2, with Supervisors Gibson and OrtizLegg in opposition.

Item 27 and 28 were a submittal of the year-end financial status report, where any items that did not fall within anticipated budgets were addressed, and a submittal of final budget actions. Expenses and revenues in 2020-2021 were both lower than 20192020, largely due to COVID. The Board heard the presentation identifying where the budget shortfalls were as well as the surpluses in the budget due to FEMA funds and higher than anticipated transient occupancy taxes. The Board voted to approve staff recommendations on both items with a 5-0 vote.

The Board then had a hearing to consider adopting an ordinance establishing local standards and procedures for emergency homeless shelters at public facilities. A shelter crisis is defined by the state as “…the duly proclaimed existence of a situation in which a significant number of persons are without the ability to obtain shelter, resulting in a threat to their health and safety.” On Oct. 2, 2018, the county previously declared a shelter crisis; however, that Resolution did not suspend state or local rules, nor did it establish alternative minimum safety standards.

This new ordinance would both re-declare a shelter crisis as well as suspend the normal local and state laws and establish emergency situation standards for the shelters. The motion to approve the item was made and passed with a 5-0 vote.

Item 31 and 32 discussed the Urban Water Management Plan and the Water Shortage Contingency Plan for the Lopez Reservoir. Approval of the recommended actions will ensure that Zone 3 will maintain in compliance with State law and that the San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District will remain eligible for State funds, resulting in a more livable and well-governed community. Both items were approved to proceed with staff recommendations with a 5-0 vote.

The last item of the day was an amendment to the county traffic regulations prohibiting overnight parking in Los Osos and authorizing the Sheriff Department to tow vehicles in violation. Adoption of the ordinance will improve the ability of the public to access the coast for recreational purposes, thus providing a safe and livable community. Public comment on the item focused on the need for the county to not remove overnight campers unless spots were currently available at the Kansas Ave location, highlighting Martin v Boise as the ruling. Supervisor Gibson had County Council clarify the ruling in that case, which was that it is a violation of the 8th amendment to criminalize the act of sleeping outdoors if there are no beds available for those individuals.

Chair person Compton stated, “To me, it’s a balancing act, and I will be supporting this.

No one is going to be perfectly happy with the solution, but it’s an adequate compromise for now until something else can be done.” The motion was made by Supervisor Gibson and seconded by Supervisor OrtizLegg and passed 5-0.

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 5 at 9 a.m., and the agenda is available on the County website slocounty.ca.gov/Departments/ Board-of-Supervisors/BoardMeetings,-Agendas-and-Minutes.aspx.

By CAMILLE DeVAUL

SAN LUIS OBISPO — On Wednesday morning, Sept. 22, Judge Craig van Rooyen ruled sufficient evidence was presented for Paul (44) and Ruben (80) Flores to be tried for the murder of Kristin Smart.

The father and son are charged in connection with the 1996 disappearance and murder of 19-year-old Cal Poly student Kristin Smart.

Smart was last seen with Paul leaving an off-campus party on Crandall Way in San Luis Obispo on May 25, 1996.

Although her remains have never been found, Smart was legally declared dead in 2002.

Paul and Ruben Flores were arrested at their homes this past April, nearly 25 years after Kristin’s disappearance.

Paul is charged with her murder. His father, Ruben, is charged as an accessory after the fact, accused of helping hide Kristin’s body.

Paul has remained in custody at the San Luis Obispo County Jail without bail since his arrest.

Ruben is currently out on bail.

The preliminary hearing began on Monday, Aug. 2.

More than two dozen witnesses were called to testify, including current and former detectives, former friends and acquaintances of both Paul and Kristin, cadaver dog handlers, and soil experts.

Several people testified seeing Paul walk Smart back to her dorm after the party on Crandall Way. Cadaver dog handlers who searched the dorms after she was reported missing testified that their dogs strongly alerted to Paul’s room.

Forensic experts testified they found human blood in the dirt beneath the deck of Ruben Flores’s home in Arroyo Grande but were unable to detect any DNA. Investigators believed that Smart’s remains were under Ruben’s deck and were recently relocated.

During closing arguments on Monday, San Luis Obispo County Deputy District Attorney Chris Peuvrelle said Paul Flores lied to cover up the murder of Kristin Smart.

Paul’s defense attorney Robert Sanger said there is no case against Paul Flores, and there is certainly no case against Ruben Flores. He said there was nothing found in this case that is real evidence.

Ruben’s defense attorney Harold Mesick echoed the same thoughts and said the prosecution has tried to paint “lipstick on a pig.”

The Judge said he has a strong suspicion that

Kristin Smart was murdered and buried under Ruben’s deck. He based his ruling on the standard of probable cause, which is a lesser standard of proof than what will be used by a jury in trial.

Kristin Smart’s family has attended each day of the hearing, along with Susan Flores, who invoked her Fifth Amendment right to not testify on the first day.

Paul and Ruben Flores are scheduled to be arraigned on Oct. 20.

After the ruling, San Luis Obispo District Attorney Dan Dow said, “We continue to support the family of Kristin Smart as we work toward justice.”

In response to the ruling, the family of Kristin Smart issued a statement on Sep. 23 saying:

Statement from the Family of Kristin Smart: Yesterday was a very good day and we want to take this opportunity to thank all of Kristin’s supporters in San Luis Obispo and beyond. So many people have played such important roles over the past 25 years, and we are humbled by the amazing support and generosity we have received. We want to especially thank the District Attorney’s Office for their relentless efforts.

Our family has always known that this was going to be a long, difficult, and emotional journey. We are now one step closer to justice for Kristin. She – and all who have worked so hard toward this day – deserve nothing less.

DISTURBANCE

LEGISLATURE

Cunningham Bill to Help Local Nonprofits Barricaded Subject in the and Small Businesses Signed into Law 7200 Block of Sombrilla Ave This law allows breweries, wineries, and distilleries to donate proceeds from their products STAFF REPORT

SACRAMENTO — Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) announced on Sept. 23 that his bill to help local nonprofits and small businesses has been signed into law.

Specifically, AB 1267 will allow breweries, wineries, and distilleries to donate proceeds from selling their products to local nonprofits starting on Jan. 1, 2022. The bill fixes a nearly century-old oversight in our state’s liquor laws and will allow Central Coast nonprofits and

businesses to work together to support important local causes.

“Nonprofits throughout the Central Coast have struggled to raise the funds they need to operate throughout the pandemic. By allowing them to work handin-hand with local breweries, distilleries, and wineries to raise money, nonprofits now have an additional - and potentially lucrative - funding stream available to them,” said Cunningham.

“State law shouldn’t stop businesses from supporting important charitable causes. I’m grateful that this prohibition will finally be over.”

AB 1267 passed through the Legislature unanimously. It was supported by the California Association of Nonprofits, the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance, the Santa Barbara Vintners, and a host of other organizations.

Subject was booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail STAFF REPORT

ATASCADERO — On Sept.

23 at approximately 5:51 p.m., the Atascadero Police Department received a report of a domestic dispute in the 7200 block of Sombrilla Ave. Arriving APD units learned that Kevin Guevaranayo, 26 yrs. of age, of Santa Maria had arrived at the location in violation of a restraining order. Guevaranayo was acting erratic and threatened his ex-girlfriend with a knife. He then barricaded himself in her apartment.

With the assistance from the San Luis Obispo Sheriff ’s Department, California Highway Patrol, Paso Robles Police Department,

and the San Luis Obispo Probation department, a perimeter was established, and nearby apartments were evacuated. Contact was made with Guevaranayo through the closed door, and he refused to surrender.

Assistance was requested from the San Luis Obispo County’s Special Enforcement Detail. A search and arrest warrant was obtained by an APD Detective, and Guevaranayo was taken into custody by the Special Enforcement Detail at approximately 1 a.m. He was subsequently booked into the San Luis Obispo County Jail for Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Criminal Threats, Brandishing a Weapon, Violation of a Domestic Violence Restraining Order, and Delaying or Resisting a Peace Officer.

If there are any questions, please contact the Atascadero Police Department at 805-461-5051.

COVID UPDATE

Public Health Clinics Begin to Offer COVID Boosters Health Department opens Saturday hours to accommodate Pfizer boosters for those 50+ STAFF REPORT

SAN LUIS OBISPO — San Luis Obispo County Public Health released a statement on Thursday, Sept. 23, that County Health officials and medical experts are reviewing evidence that suggests the COVID-19 vaccine may lessen overtime for some recipients.

This information followed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) meeting on Sept.

22 amending the emergency use authorization (EUA) for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine to allow for use of a single booster dose, to be administered at least six months after completion of the primary series in: • Individuals 65 years of age and older; • Individuals 18 through 64 years of age at high risk of severe covid-19; and • Individuals 18 through 64 years of age whose frequent institutional or occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2 puts them at high risk of serious complications of COVID-19 including severe COVID-19.

Comirnaty (COVID-19 Pfizer Vaccine, mRNA) was approved by the FDA on Aug. 23, stating that it would prevent COVID-19 caused

by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 16 years of age and older.

On Aug. 25, the FDA received

a supplement from Pfizer Inc. to their biologics license application for Comirnaty, seeking approval of a single booster dose to be administered approximately six months after completing the primary vaccination series for all individuals 16 years of age and older. That request was amended to recommend to those 65 and older with the highest risk of severe outcomes.

To support the authorization for emergency use of a single booster dose, the FDA analyzed the safety and immune response data from a subset of participants from the original clinical trial of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.

In addition, consideration was given to real-world data on the vaccine’s efficacy over a sustained period of time provided by both U.S. and international sources, including the CDC, the UK, and Israel. The immune responses of approximately 200 participants 18 through 55 years of age who received a single booster dose approximately six months after their second dose were assessed.

Safety was evaluated in 306 participants 18 through 55 years of age and 12 participants 65 years of age and older who were followed for an average of over two months.

The most commonly reported side effects by the clinical trial participants who received the booster dose of the vaccine were pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, as well as fatigue, headache, muscle or joint pain, and chills. Of note, swollen lymph nodes in the underarm were observed more frequently following the booster dose than

after the primary two-dose series.

Since Dec. 11, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under EUA for individuals 16 years of age and older. The authorization was expanded on May 10 to include those 12 through 15 years of age and again on Aug. 12, to include the use of a third dose of a three-dose primary series in specific immunocompromised individuals 12 years of age and older.

On Tuesday, Sept. 28, the county announced that they would offer Pfizer boosters at Public Health clinics in Grover Beach, Paso Robles, and San Luis Obispo.

Due to limited capacity, health officials will first provide boosters to those with the greatest risk— all community members over 65, those over 50 with certain high-risk medical conditions, and those in long-term care facilities. These are the populations that the Western States Workgroup stated “should” get a booster.

Local health officials request other groups who “may” get boosters (those between 18 and 49 with underlying medical conditions or at higher risk due to occupational exposure) seek a Pfizer booster from their local pharmacy or healthcare provider.

To accommodate the rollout, health officials also announced that Public Health clinics will begin operating on Saturday, Oct. 2, and will be open every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Both Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines will be available at no cost on Saturdays.

Doses are provided by appointment through MyTurn.ca.gov.

Documentation of age is required for boosters. A limited number of walk-ins are available, as supply allows.

He was raised in Winters, CA, until his father’s death in April 1969; then moved to Atascadero, CA, where he attended local schools and graduated from

August 29, 2021. An only child, born September 22, 1978, in Camarillo, Ca., to Bruce & Debbie Bruton. He attended schools in both Oxnard and Atascadero, graduating from Oxnard high school in 1996.

In his younger years, he played AYSO soccer and loved the great outdoors, taking many summer trips to Colorado and the pacific northwest to camp, hike, and snow ski.

In his adult years, his passion in life was riding his Harley

Davidson, and boy could he ride!

He loved his children, taking them on numerous adventures to car shows, beaches, the drive-in movies, bike rides, dirt bike riding, camping, and so many other things that we will cherish forever.

A heart of gold would be an understatement because he wanted to rescue anyone he saw struggling through a hard time or situation. He lit up a room when he walked in and could conversate with anybody. If you needed

a friend, he was there. If laughter is the best medicine, then he was the prescription because he could turn any tears into laughter with his sense of humor.

Todd is preceded in death by his father, Bruce Bruton of Atascadero, and step-father, Gary Cran of Oxnard. He is survived by his mother, Debbie Bruton (Riddle), of Medford, OR., daughter, Jade Bruton of San Luis Obispo, step-son, Anthony Alaniz of Paso Robles, mother of his children, Amy Bruton

(Stuart) of San Luis Obispo, and many other family members and friends.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help with memorial expenses, and we ask that in lieu of flowers, you please donate to the GoFundMe account. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, October 1, 2021, at 3 pm at Chapel of the Roses in Atascadero. If you have a picture of or with Todd, the family is asking that you bring it to be left for his children.

Atascadero High School. He was always involved in sports and FFA and excelled in those activities. After high school graduation, he attended College of the Siskiyous. Unfortunately, a football injury from high school and again in college ended his football career and, subsequently, his college career.

Monte then started in the construction industry and worked on the north slope of Prudhoe Bay in Dead Horse, Alaska. After seven years on and off from that grueling schedule, he came back to California in May 1998. That is when he met the love of his life, Jeanette Carter. They had a whirlwind romance, and they both knew early on that they were a perfect match, true soulmates. They married in December 1998. They made their lives and raised a family in Winters

for the next 22 years.

After working in the construction industry for nearly 18 years, Monte started his own grading & excavating business in 2004. His company specializes in habitat, stream, and tidal restoration projects around California. Monte completed several jobs in Putah Creek and hundreds of other projects in surrounding areas and throughout California. He was well respected, hardworking, and honest, which led to his great success and reputation and a very impressive work resume.

With all his hard work and success, he was most proud of his family; his wife, whom he adored, his children, Gary (21), and Karlee Anne (16). He was the best football, baseball, and swim dad around. He traveled countless miles weekly for practices, training, games, and swim

meets; he wouldn’t have it any other way. Some of his favorite times were taking his kids’ deer and duck hunting; they loved it as much as him, especially because it was their time with just their dad. Not only was he the biggest supporter of his own kids, but he was always interested in his cousin’s and friend’s kids’ success too. Monte was a huge supporter of the Winters Football & Baseball teams along with FFA. He also spearheaded a complete restoration of the Winters Little League Field in 2008. Monte was the kind of guy that always gave someone a chance, money, a job, a career if they wanted it. He was extremely generous, supportive, and always happy. Monte was a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ and is in Heaven. He is loved by so many and will be

missed by all.

He is survived by his wife, Jeanette, son Gary, daughter Karlee Anne, mother Randee Briggs, brother Israel (Melody) Hutchinson, sister Chamene (To’o) Ulutu, aunts & uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins, and many very close friends.

He is preceded in death by his father, Gary J. Molina, Paternal grandparents Frank & Mary Molina and Chris Perez, Maternal grandparents Yolo & Alice Mae Briggs, and infant sister Hope Hutchison.

CRIME

INCIDENT

Shooting Incident on Dorothy Street

Atascadero Robbery Investigation Led to Shelter-In-Place Orders Suspect was ultimately arrested in Paso Robles following a shooting STAFF REPORT

ATASCADERO — On the night of Sept. 25, Atascadero Police Department responded to a report of a juvenile victim having been robbed of his backpack and personal property at gunpoint in the area of Morro Road and Curbaril Avenue. The suspect description was provided to officers, but no suspect could be located after a search of the area.

On Sept. 26, at approximately 8:56 a.m., the Atascadero Police Department responded to a report of a subject having been robbed at gunpoint in the 10200 block El Camino Real. Officers arrived on the scene and saw the described suspect flee on foot, over a fence, into an adjacent apartment complex. Officers established a perimeter and sought assistance from the

California Highway Patrol and the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s Office. During this time, a second victim reported being robbed at gunpoint just prior to the initial victim. Both victims described matching suspect descriptions. These descriptions also matched the suspect description from the robbery of the juvenile on the night of the 25th. Officers conducted a search of the apartment complex, which met with negative results for the outstanding suspect.

Information was obtained for further follow-up investigation.

During the incident, neighboring residences were given a shelter-in-place advisory in order to keep residents safe.

Further investigation revealed the suspect for the armed robbery cases to be Carlos Chavez, 20 years old. The suspect was later arrested by Paso Robles Police Department for a shooting in their city.

The Atascadero Police Department Investigations Unit is actively investigating the incidents.

Victim identified as Justin Bice of Paso Robles STAFF REPORT

PASO ROBLES — On Sunday, Sept.

26, reports that a suspect shot a man in the face and fled the scene.

The incident occurred on Dorothy Street near Melody Drive. The suspect was said to be headed towards the Food 4 Less on Creston Road. The Paso Robles Police Department (PRPD) blocked the streets, and residents were asked to shelter in place.

Police searched for the suspect, said to be a 19-year old Hispanic male, wearing black pants and a black hoodie sweatshirt for several hours.

Later that day, it was reported that the PRPD took the suspect into custody after being informed he had been picked up and driven to San Miguel.

According to the PRPD, the suspect

arrested was identified as Carlos Chavez (20) of Paso Robles. Chavez was booked on attempted murder and felon possession of a firearm.

Reports show that the Atascadero Police Department also connected Chavez to the multiple armed robberies in the city hours before the shooting on Sunday that led to the shelter in place on the south end of Atascadero at roughly the same time.

The victim, identified as Justin Bice (29) of Paso Robles, underwent brain surgery following the incident and reported breathing on his own and awake for “periods of time,” according to the updates on the family’s GoFundMe page.

Police say the victim and the suspect knew each other.

They add that officers have had some minimal contacts with Chavez in the past.

This incident is still under investigation.

If anyone has any information, contact the Paso Robles Police Department at (805)237-6464.

COLUMNIST

hich Nhat Hahn tells a great story of a monk who went to meditate alone. He left the monastery and took a boat out to the middle of a lake, and closed his eyes. Deep in meditation after several hours of silence, the monk felt the blow of another boat hitting his. Anger rose in him, and when he opened his eyes, he was ready to shout at the boatman who disturbed his meditation. But when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was an empty boat floating around. He realized that anger was within him and just needed

to hit an external object to provoke it.

The feelings we experience are happening within us. We are responsible for the feelings we have toward others. If we have anger, resentment, distrust, and fear, we constrict ourselves and build walls around our hearts that prevent us from experiencing the sunlight of the Spirit.

Asking questions such as, what has this anger come to teach me, or how am I to grow from this experience, dissolves those walls, allowing love to come rushing in, cleansing and purifying the heart and mind with its brilliance. Anger, resentment, and distrust are products of the past. Perhaps we experienced something that didn’t meet our expectations and carried it with us into the present moment. The experience could have been decades ago or just yesterday.

You were birthed into existence on this planet at this time for a purpose. It’s time to get your bloated nothingness out of the path of the Divine circuits flowing through you such that you may shine your light like never before. The bloated nothingness might be playing small, feeling less than, not knowing the how, and giving up. It may be thinking you’re not good enough, too old, too young, too broken, not educated enough, or whatever is getting in the way of your radiant good. It’s time to love and accept yourself exactly as you are and rise.

Have you noticed that something within you rises up even as you endure painful experiences; that something is God. That doesn’t mean we have to have painful experiences to know God. It means that perhaps what’s in the way is the way. The only way out is

As we were touring his pastures, I admired the beautiful ring he had on his finger.

It had the Masonic symbol in gold against a black background that was flanked by two huge diamonds. He said it had only come off his finger one time since his grandfather had given it to him.

“When was that?” I asked.

“I was artificially inseminating a few cows when I ran out of plastic arm sleeves. So I wrapped my arm with Saran Wrap® and used one of those cheap plastic gloves from Harbor Freight. But when my arm came out of the cow, the plastic glove and my ring had been left behind. So we put the cow in a small pen and watched her manure every day, waiting for the ring to show up. We thought we’d lost it for good when a year later, my wife noticed something sparkling in an old cow chip. Sure enough, with a little delicate digging, we found the ring, and ever since we’ve called that cow Lucy In The Pie With Diamonds.”

Affirm the following for yourself and feel the Divine Presence expressing as you now: Rise up, my Soul, and quicken me with heavenly fervor.

Speak words that make people glad, happy, loved, and connected.

Show me the finished kingdom through which I walk.

I have the power and strength of God within me, and it is mine to use, so I use it. And so it is.

Templeton High School Celebrates Homecoming

Abby Allen, owner of the Templeton Market & Deli, named Grand Marshal

By HAYLEY MATTSON

TEMPLETON — On Friday, Sept.

24, the much-loved annual tradition of Templeton High School’s Homecoming Parade down main street and Royalty Halftime Show at the Friday Night Football game was nothing short of magical.

With the theme of Disney’s “When You Wish Upon a Star,” the floats were decorated, highlighting many Disney classics.

The THS Link Crew took first place with their float featuring all the beloved characters from Toy Story, with Buzz Lightyear, Sheriff Woody, Jessie, Little Bo Peep, Rex the Dinosaur, Mr. Potatoe Head, and so many others.

Second place went to the THS Freshman Class, whose float Freshman Inc. played off the Monsters Inc. characters and coordinated dance moves with Mike and Sully!

The THS Senior Class took third with Pirates of the Caribbean full of pirates, sharks, and a well-crafted ship to carry them down Main Street.

Some of the local favorites included the Jungle Cruise put together by the Future Farmers of America (FFA) students that went all out with greenery and vines that filled the entire trailer while the students peered out as if they were on a safari!

The THS Juniors dressed up as Alice in Wonderland and danced on their way to the “Tea Party.”

The parade also included the THS football team, cheerleaders, and the entire Homecoming Court.

The community came out in full force to support the students by lining the streets and cheering them on as they went by.

This year THS selected Abby Allen, the owner of Templeton Market and Deli, as the Grand Marshal of the Parade.

According to the committee, “at THS, our Grand Marshal is someone who dedicates their time and energy to bettering our community. They make a positive difference in the lives of Templeton residents, and especially Templeton students.

This year, ASB invited Abby Allen, owner

of the Templeton Market and Deli, to be the Grand Marshal of our Homecoming Parade.”

ASB President Helia Bushong and group of ASB Officers and Class Representatives surprised Allen at the Market and shared the following words with her, “First and foremost, on behalf of the Templeton High School student body, we would like to thank you for how much you have done for our community. You have been a pillar of light in Templeton and in the lives of all who live here. Whether it be the annual scholarship you provide for our students each year, the SLO WomenAid program, donations to the animal shelter or to Templeton students, helping to fundraise for Templeton Recreation Department, or anything in between, you are always doing good for all of us and are constantly willing to help out in any way you can. As a thank you for all you do, we would like to invite you to be our Grand Marshal in the upcoming Homecoming parade. The Grand Marshal has always been a position of honor, given to someone who is constantly and consistently there for those in our community, and we believe you are a perfect fit for that position. So, Abby Allen, would you do us the honor Homecoming Queen Maddie Bobbitt and King Austin of being our Grand Marshal this year?”

Marquart at the football game. Contributed photos Allen, of course, said yes, and as the Grand Marshal, she led the homecoming parade. Allen was the head of the procession being driven by Sheriff Deputy Paul Munoz.

As a part of the week-long traditions, members of the THS Cheer Team and Varsity Football travel to visit the classrooms of all of Vineyard Elementary throughout the week to invite them to come to Friday’s Homecoming game and share life lessons about how they became part of their teams.

To end the fantastic day full of fun, the Templeton varsity football team won their home non-conference game against Piedmont in a shut-out with the final score of 15-0.

This year’s Homecoming King and Queen were Maddie Bobbitt and Austin Marquart. A huge congratulations to the entire Royalty Court and all the love and support the community gave the students after a very long and trying 19 months of transitioning through the pandemic.

History of the Kristin Smart Case, Part II Paul Dostie and Buster the Cadaver Dog

By CAMILLE DeVAUL

T

here is always more than one side to a story, especially when it comes to an unsolved case.

When it comes to the Kristin Smart case, “whodunnit” was never the question—no matter how long it took to arrest Paul Flores—the prime suspect and last person seen with Kristin back in 1996.

The question that still remains is—where are Kristin Smart’s remains?

If you ask retired police detective turned cadaver dog specialist Paul Dostie, he will tell you without any doubt in his mind that Kristin Smart’s remains are in the corner of Susan Flores’s backyard.

Who is Paul Dostie and Buster Paul Dostie retired in 2009 from Mammoth Lakes Police Department, where he worked as a detective sergeant on the narcotics task force. He worked in law enforcement for 30 years.

But Dostie didn’t know much about cadaver dogs until a homicide case he worked on in 2006 when a narcotics dog handler mentioned training a cadaver dog when she retired. Immediately Dostie knew as an investigator a cadaver dog could be an immense help to him.

By 2007 Dostie began training his new black labrador, Buster, in detecting human remains. Dostie reached out to Cadaver Dog: K9 Specialty Search Associates for cadaver trainers. As a result, Buster became State Certified in Cadaver and Avalanche Rescue.

The two assisted on a search at the Barker Ranch—a ranch located in Death Valley, infamously known for its association with Charles Manson and his “family.”

For years, Dostie has done work on the Barker Ranch and even spoke to Manson throughout his investigations there.

Later, Dostie became involved with History Flight—a privately operated 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization dedicated to researching, recovering, and repatriating America’s service members back to the United States.

Members of History Flight work to find individuals who have been listed as Missing in Action (MIA) or deemed non-recoverable from WWII, the Korean War, the Cold War, and the Vietnam War. Dostie and Buster went on seven History Flight missions—three in Tarawa and four in Europe. Buster himself is accredited with finding over 200 human bodies. But, their most successful mission was in Tarawa, where Buster located over 35 WWII U.S. Marines lost after the Battle of Tarawa 72 years ago.

In an interview with Paso Robles Press, Mark Noah, the founder of History Flight and director of the Tarawa project, said he put Buster and Dostie through some accuracy tests in Tarawa before doing an official search.

He brought Dostie and Buster to another island of Tarawa, where only he knew there were no graves. Dostie came back saying there were no remains there.

Next, he brought the duo to an area where he knew there were recently recovered graves. Buster alerted right on top of grave sights where two Marines were recovered the year before.

After passing the tests, Noah and his team brought Buster and Dostie to some areas with known historical correlation to American graves, but no graves had been found yet.

After excavation, Noah’s team realized they found the largest missing grave recovered since WWII. In the History Flight Search, Recovery and Identification Report 45 LT Alexander Bonnyman Jr. Betio, Tarawa, Republic of Kiribati 2006-2015, a map shows where Buster alerted and where remains were found.

Noah uses several methods when searching for burial sites—all used to cross-reference each other. He said cadaver dogs play a significant role for them and are used frequently in their searches.

“It was fascinating to be able to combine all the different levels of technology, including the dog alerts. And it was very rewarding at the same time because we found what we were looking for,” said Noah.

Buster alerted under 12 inches of at least

three burials in the site pictured. Additionally, he alerted within three feet of 44 burials. But the findings didn’t stop there.

In total, over 100 American remains were found where Buster alerted.

Noah said, “He [Buster] alerted within six inches of the biggest recovery of MIAs that’s been done since WWII. You can’t dispute it.”

Within these discoveries, Buster alerted next to a building with a concrete slab.

Twelve U.S. Marines were found under the building.

During these searches, Dostie was not told whether they knew or not there were remains there.

The Science Behind Cadaver Dogs The Barker Ranch investigations were how Dostie got in touch with Dr. Arpad Vass, a world-renowned research scientist and forensic anthropologist specializing in human decomposition.

He famously testified in the Casey Anthony case in Florida. Additionally, Vass was Tennessee Scientist of the Year in 2004 and is an instructor at the National Forensic Academy.

Vass is currently developing technology to locate clandestine graves by the use of odor mortis. There are typically seven stages of decay: pallor mortis, algor mortis, rigor mortis, liver mortis, putrefaction, decomposition, and finally, skeletonization. In addition, Dr. Vass has developed another category called odor mortis.

Vass’s technology works similarly to cadaver dogs.

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Human remains detection dogs (HRDDs) are “canines specially trained to find human decomposition scent and alert their handler to its location.”

During decomposition, humans release specific chemicals that essentially “plume” through the soil. Over time, these chemicals spread through moisture in the soil.

If trained properly, dogs can detect these chemical plumes and only detect those human scents--not mistaking them for other animal bones.

Together, Vass and Dostie have used each other almost as a cross-reference. For example, if Dostie’s dog makes a hit, he collects soil samples and sends them to a lab for Vass to later read the results for traces of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) referred to as odor mortis.

These tests search for chemicals specific to humans. So if Vass finds human-specific chemicals in the soil sample, that means there are human remains in the area.

Unlike most cadaver dogs, Buster was trained to detect clandestine graves--an unrecorded burial grave. Dostie trained Buster in 100-year-old cemeteries in Nevada and used techniques from bomb detection dogs.

In recent years, canines have been used in archeological searches. Archeologists put cadaver dogs to similar tests that Noah performed in Croatia. Those same dogs ended up helping archeologists find 3,000-year-old graves in Croatia.

The First Search On Jun. 2, 2014, Paul Dostie’s cadaver dog Buster made his first hit for human decomposition around the perimeter of 529 East Branch Street in Arroyo Grande--the home of Susan, Paul Flores’s mother.

Dostie and David Smallwood of the California Register newspaper were given permission to search the yard directly in the back of the Susan Flores home. We will refer to this property as Lot 29.

Dostie’s sister, who lives in Atascadero, mailed her brother a copy of The California Register and mentioned he should consider looking into the case.

After reading the paper, Dostie said he was thoroughly impressed with the amount of detail put into the articles on Kristin Smart. So Dostie contacted Smallwood, and soon a plan was set to search for Kristin’s remains.

The two men arrived at Branch Street around 1:45 p.m. Buster was brought to the backyard of Lot 29. Dostie commanded Buster to “go find,” and the canine did as trained.

It didn’t take long for Buster to make a strong alert to the back corner of the fence line bordering Susan’s property.

Buster spun around and locked up like a bird dog alongside the fence bordering Susan’s home. After analyzing Buster’s reaction, Dostie said it was clear there was human decomposition there.

Dostie and Smallwood then proceeded back to the truck to get the glass vials and tools to obtain a soil sample for Dr. Arpad Vass to analyze later. However, the two were prevented from returning to the backyard by the home’s owner (it turned out permission was given by a roommate and not the owner of the home).

Not long after Dostie and Buster were heading home, Smallwood called saying he got permission from the owner at another neighboring property, Lot 27.

Dostie turned around and got ready to obtain a soil sample.

But, unfortunately, Buster did not go with him so as not to wake the neighbors if he were to bark. It was now about 11:00 p.m. Soil samples were then retrieved from the backyard corner bordering Susan’s home.

Later, Dostie mailed the soil samples to Dr. Vass in Tennessee to be analyzed for human decomposition. After two weeks, the sample results came in with a “weak positive” result.

According to Smallwood, from there, he took the information to Mark Connely, one of the Smart family’s attorneys. Connely reportedly said he would take those results and findings to the sheriff.

According to Smallwood, they were told the sheriff ’s office did not look further into the findings, stating the evidence was insufficient to obtain a search warrant.

However, cadaver dogs were used in the early days of the case in Paul Flores’s dorm room.

Three dog handlers were brought in to testify during the preliminary hearing for Paul and Ruben Flores in August 2021.

Adela Morris, Gail LaRoque, Wayne Behrems, and their dogs participated in searching Paul Flores’s dorm room at Cal Poly in 1996.

Morris testified that her dog alerted to a door on the left side of Santa Lucia Hall, specifically room #128–Paul Flores’s dorm room. In addition, Morris said both her dogs, Cholla and Cirque, strongly alerted to the mattress and desk on the left side of the room.

LaRoque had a similar testimony regarding her dog Torrey who alerted to the same areas, including Paul Flores’s trash can.

Behrems and his dog Sierra also had the same findings.

All three handlers testified that they knew Kristin disappeared but did not know any further details on the case.

The Second Search On Friday, Aug. 1, 2014, Buster and Dostie returned to Arroyo Grande for another search.

Buster returned to search Lot 27. Again, Buster quickly picked up on the scent of human decomposition. According to Dostie, the stronger the scent, the stronger the alert.

Once again, Buster gave a strong alert to a spot along the fence bordering Susan’s backyard. Buster then laid down, claiming that spot as an area containing human remains.

“It was like he ran into a brick wall. It was so strong,” said Dostie.

Following the procedure, Dostie took a soil sample from the spot to send to Dr. Vass for further testing.

On Sept. 18, 2014, test results came back from Dr. Vass indicating a negative for human decomposition.

It is believed by Dostie and Dr. Vass that migration of bio-markers in the soil was being impeded by the block wall and/or concrete footer supporting the wall.

It was also believed that the first sample was taken at a shallower depth, which resulted in a weak positive due to vegetation drawing bio-marker chemicals through cracks in the wall of the footer.

In plain man’s words--traces of human decomposition may be closer to the surface than at lower depths.

Essentially, if human remains are encased in concrete, over time, the bio-markers will escape through cracks and porous holes in the concrete and then migrate through the soil.

What We Know We know when police interviewed Paul Flores on Jun. 19, 1996, he left early to finish concrete work at his mother’s home on Branch Street.

Then, when Mary and Joe Lassiter signed papers to rent and move into the Branch Street home in June 1996, they were told they could not move in until July because a concrete project in the backyard was not finished yet.

In a deposition with Attorney James Murphy, neighbors of Susan Flores said they noticed Paul and Ruben doing work in Susan’s backyard not long after Kristin’s disappearance. After,

there were new latticework and planter boxes that had been cut out of existing cement.

In another deposition with Murphy’s Office, Joe Lassiter said one of the planter boxes measured six feet long by three feet wide.

He added that he could not get flowers to grow in the box due to the second layer of cement underneath.

Then, in March 1997, Susan Flores’s backyard is searched using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). The GPR search geologist said he found an anomaly under the cement but told police he thought it was likely naturally made.

GPR detects anomalies in the ground—in other words, it shows spots in the soil that have been disturbed. For example, a hole that was dug and then covered up again.

However, he also said that he had never searched for human remains before and did not have the proper equipment. He also noted concerns over broken cement pieces that he was told were leftover from Paul and Ruben’s work the summer before.

Susan’s home was searched again on Jun. 19, 2000. Another search is done with GPR but comes up inconclusive.

This search was done after FBI agent Jack Schafer gave the SLO police department a warrant to dig up Susan Flores’s backyard.

Schafer was assigned to the Smart case. He said he went through the case files with a fine-tooth comb. Everything he found led him to Paul Flores being the prime suspect and Kristin’s remains at Susan Flores’s home.

In an interview with Paso Robles Press, Schafer said, “I gave them the opportunity to dig up the backyard, but they didn’t do it.”

And again, Susan’s backyard was searched in March 2007 using GPR. Professor Lawrence Conyers was able to search almost all of Susan’s backyard.

Conyers was not given permission to search the cement planters. He also concludes they could not search the West side of the home because of too much stuff in the way.

He was also unable to search a garage building that was built on the East side of the home in 1997 because of wire mesh in the floor. At the time of his search in 2007, there was no technology that could read through the metal wiring. But now there is.

The East side of the home was not properly searched because of this. It is also the same area where the Lassiters found an earring with what they believed to be blood on it. It is also where dogs alerted to the same spot a metal trash can sat that Ruben insisted on picking up while the Lassiter’s lived there.

The West side of the home is the same side, where the Lassiters heard the watch beeping and where the six feet by three feet cement planters are.

The West side of the home is also where Paul Dostie’s cadaver dog Buster alerted to human remains—twice.

Then, in 2021 the SLO County Sheriffs searched Ruben Flores’s home on White Court. From those searches, they claim to have found physical evidence of human remains and that those remains were moved.

Schafer speculates that evidence was found at Ruben’s home because, after Kristin’s disappearance, the Flores family put her there, only to later move her to Susan’s home that summer when Paul and Ruben did the concrete work.

Schafer also speculates that Kristin’s remains are still in Susan’s backyard.

He says, “I put my heart and soul into that case, and I thought we were going to get the body. That’s one case that got away.”

We have reached out to Mark Connely for comment but have not received a response.

The San Luis Obispo Sheriff ’s Office said, “As a result of Judge Van Rooyen’s suppression order, in this case, the Sheriff ’s Office is unable to comment at this time.”

rooms, schools, or the District are closed by public health mandates.

“Full in-person school is our goal, and we will do every single thing possible to make sure that stays in place. With that stated, we do not want to ever be in the place where we were March 2020, where we were caught off guard and never expected the schools to close,” said Gaviola.

Current Public Health Directives determine a school closure and are as follows: • Five or more COVID-19 cases in the same classroom, in the same ten-day period, is considered an outbreak, and consultation with Public Health will be consulted regarding possible

closure.

• Five percent of the staff and student population is positive with COVID 19 in a ten-day period, strong consideration of school site closure with the consultation of Public Health.

• Twenty-five percent of school sites closed in the District, strong consideration of district closure, with a mandate from Public Health.

The purpose of this document is to describe the actions PRJUSD will take to continue instruction in the event of an extended school, campus, or district closure.

The next regular PRJUSD board meeting is scheduled for Oct. 12 at 6 p.m.
