MEET THE NORTH COUNTY’S BIGGEST
ATASCADERO — For the new year, the Atascadero Downtown Business Improvement District plans to launch First Fridays events to stimulate the local business economy. Part of the ABID’s new theme for the year — 2020 New Year, New Vision — the monthly events are part of the organization’s effort to attract people to shop and dine in downtown Atascadero. “There are thriving First Fridays in a lot of cites, and they are experiencing a lot of success,” said Zoe Zappas of Z Villages. She added that the events in other cities are receiving a lot of positive feedback from businesses. Starting Friday, Jan. 3, 2020, Atascadero will join the ranks of the popular movement with participating downtown businesses volunteering to keep their doors open past 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. “I feel like it’s a trend that will take over on its own and it will be easy for each of the businesses to take advantage CONTINUED ON PAGE A11
Locals anticipate ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ By MARK DIAZ & BRIAN WILLIAMS mark@atascaderonews.com/ brian@atascaderonews.com
T
he final chapter in the Star Wars Skywalker Saga will hit local cinemas tomorrow, the culmination of more than 40 years of epic space adventure storytelling that began with way back in 1977 with the first entry in the franchise, what would eventually become know as Episode IV: A New Hope, but at the time was known simply as “Star Wars.” The film was the vision of revolutionary filmmaker George Lucas and would go on to spawn seven more movies in the main saga along with several spin-offs and TV shows and even a theme park attraction at Disneyland. Lucas sold his rights to the franchise, along with creative

control, to Disney in 2012 for $4 billion. Disney has since released four new Star Wars films to critical acclaim, mixed fan reactions and billions in box office revenues, already recouping what they spent to purchase LucasFilm. We spoke to three North County residents about their love of the Star Wars franchise, how the movies have changed their lives and their anticipation ahead of Disney’s fifth Star Wars release, “Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.”
At the tender age of 7, Deanne LeMoine-McEwen started her journey to a galaxy far far away. When “Star Wars” hit the silver screen at Century Cinemas in Atascadero back in 1977, it set Deanne on a course that would play a major role in her life. Deanne said it’s not an easy thing to pick her favorite movie, but she would have to go with the one that started it all. “It’s like picking your children, but how can you not pick the one that introduced you to the whole universe?” Deanne said. “But I also really, really loved ‘Rogue One’… I love epic stories in the literature I read and everything, and I thought it was amazing how they took a one-liner from “Episode IV” and they made a whole movie out of it.”
Deanne said that several movies have affected her, but arguably the most profound one was the first prequel, “Episode I: The Phantom Menace.” She said watching the story of Anakin Skywalker’s origins and how the sweet little boy would become one of the most iconic villains in cinematic history left a lasting impression on her view of motherhood. “I was very fond of that one because it touched my heart and set me on a course to be a mom of boys with a purpose,” Deanne said. “It was very important to me to raise gentlemen with empathetic hearts.” The stories and characters of the Star Wars universe played a vital role in her interaction with her two sons. Deanne said that she purposely made it into a lasting and relatable interaction with her boys. CONTINUED ON PAGE A11
NORTH COUNTY — The City of Atascadero officially jumped on the pickleball bandwagon with Council’s approval of four new courts to the Colony Park Community Center. Pickleball enthusiasts showed up in force at the meeting and cheered when the Council voted unanimously to approve plans for four pickleball courts in the Colony Park Master Plan. Located on Traffic Way, the center provides pickleballers a shared indoor space to play, but the new plans would set aside dedicated spots outside for the sport. The game has gained a lot of traction in the past few years and has become a professional sport. It is played on a badminton-size court, 20 by 40 feet, with competitors separated by a waist-high net. Using wide-faced paddles, players knock the pickleball back and forth, making sure the ball bounces at least once before their return volley. Mayor Pro Tem Charles Bourbeau explained that what wiffleball is to baseball, pickleball is to tennis. The proposed courts will be on the west side of the facility between the basketball courts and Atascadero Creek

Musicians interested in consideration for the 2020 season must submit a press kit by Friday, Jan. 17, containing the following materials: • A completed Band Interest Form available at prcity. com/concertsinthepark • One to two relevant videos of previous performances in the last three years • CD demo or downloadable songs
PASO ROBLES — Explore more than 70 artworks depicting Jewish heritage, culture and traditions in “Keeping the Faith: An Artistic Celebration of Judaism,” an art and film exhibition at Studios on the Park, Paso Robles, Jan. 2-26. The show features symbols of the Jewish religion from artists across the country and Israel. “The exhibit displays 2-D and 3-D art from all mediums and explores holidays, celebrations, rituals and beliefs,” said Ellen November, exhibit curator. “It will be a very uplifting and educational experience.” The exhibit features three paintings by Harpo Marx of the famous Marx Brothers comedy troupe, which included siblings Groucho, Chico, Gummo and Zeppo. The brothers were children of Jewish immigrants and became superstars of vaudeville, Broadway and movies in the 1920s and 1930s. “This is the North County extension of the Jewish Film Festival, which is also taking place in January in San Luis Obispo,” explained Gail Gresham, the exhibit producer. “This exhibit is for anyone who would like to learn about Jewish culture and community. We are also excited to present original paintings by Harpo Marx.”
Today, Harpo is a cultural icon known for his black top hat, honking horn, and trench coat filled with unlikely props — a cup of coffee, rubber chicken, blow torch — whatever was needed for the gag. He may have been a zany comedian, but he was earnest about playing the harp and his love of painting. The three paintings on display are on loan from Jim Marx, Harpo’s son. “Keeping the Faith” has several associated events. Studios on the Park is hosting a 5 p.m. reception on Thursday, Jan. 9, followed by The Marx Brothers film “Horse Feathers” at 6 p.m., Park Cinemas, 1100 Pine St, Paso Robles. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at Studios on the Park, 1130 Pine St., Paso Robles, or at the theater.The “Horse Feathers” screening is immediately followed by a Q-and-A session discussing the Marx Brothers and their experiences with anti-Semitism. Steve Stoliar, author of “Raised Eyebrows — My Years Inside Groucho’s House,” will discuss Groucho and his brothers along with film enthusiasts Brent Keast and Robin Smith. On Saturday, Jan. 11, at 5 p.m., the public is invited to attend a Jewish Shabbat ceremony led by Rabbi Janice Mehring at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles. Jewish culture
observes a holiday of Shabbat each week, from sundown on Friday night until sundown on Saturday night with the lighting of candles, blessings and food. The traditions will be explained during the ceremony. There is no charge for the Shabbat ceremony with wine for purchase provided by Calcareous Vineyard and complimentary traditional foods produced by Congregation Ohr Tzafon and JCCSLO. Music provided by Duane Inglish from Café Musique, Israeli dancing performed by Tali Freed and guests are invited to dance. There is a strong connection between the history of the civil rights movement and support from Jewish communities. In celebration of Martin Luther King Day and the strides made in equality during the 1960s, vocalist Valerie Johnson, and musicians Dr. Al B Blue and Dr. of Safe Sax will perform songs that became anthems of the civil-rights movement. The event is free and begins at 5 p.m. at Studios on the Park, 1130 Pine St., Paso Robles. “Keeping the Faith” is a collaboration with the Jewish Community Center Federation of San Luis Obispo and the Jewish Film Festival. Visit studiosonthepark.org, for more information about “Keeping the Faith: An Artistic Celebration of Judaism.”

Non-Citizen Voting Push Begins to Spread
THOMAS ELIAS COMMENTARY
I
t was only a matter of time before the idea of allowing non-citizens to vote in some local elections spread from San Francisco to other locales just as sympathetic to immigrants, legal or not. So it was no surprise when the Los Angeles Unified School District the other day began discussing whether to grant voting rights in school board elections to all parents and legal guardians of the more than 730,000 pupils in the nation’s second-largest district. Neither San Francisco nor Los Angeles officials appear fazed by President Trump’s years of griping — without any proof — that undocumented immigrants regularly vote in American elections, often in big enough numbers to change the outcomes.
He has claimed since 2016 that his 3.1 million-vote national deficit came entirely from droves of illegals casting ballots. But the commission he appointed to verify this rationalization found hardly any, and he disbanded it in early 2018. Still, all Trump had to do last year was look at San Francisco if he wanted to see non-citizens at the polls. Not many, but some. It was possible for more than 1,000 (no one knows the exact number, but that’s a frequent estimate) illegal immigrant parents to register and vote in last year’s school board election there. But only 42 actually registered, and even fewer voted. This happened because federal law allows non-citizens to vote in state or local elections, even though no state election had seen non-citizens vote legally since Arkansas became the last state to ban the practice in 1926. Before then, many states, cities and counties allowed non-citizens to vote in all elections except federal ones. The thinking was that if you live here, you have a stake in public affairs. Voting was tied to where people lived, not birthplace or nationality. Anti-immigrant feeling almost entirely ended that practice, and it remained extremely uncommon until San Francisco voters OK’d it via the
local 2016 Proposition N. Chicago and several small cities in Maryland also allow non-citizens to vote in school board elections. For the practice to begin in Los Angeles, voters there would also have to pass a ballot measure — and they might. That city was one of the earliest to declare itself a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants. Local authorities still refuse to assist federal immigration agents in apprehending all but the most violent illegal immigrant criminals. For sure, Los Angeles voters could be certain that far more non-citizens would register in their district than San Francisco’s. One reason: The Los Angeles district is 15 times larger than its northern counterpart. In Los Angeles, home to an estimated 3.5 million undocumented immigrants, any measure allowing non-citizen voting would also have to be approved by the city council. That’s not likely to be much of an obstacle, as the council is among the most liberal in America. One definite motive behind this move seems simple: By involving more parents in decisions about their schools, officials hope to improve student outcomes, something urgently needed in the academically underperforming district.

Mauna Kea, Sacrificed Enough
MARK TOMES
M
COMMENTARY
auna Kea, on the island of Hawaii, is the largest mountain in the world: as measured from its base at the bottom of the ocean, it is over 33,000 feet tall, with over 13,803 of that above the ocean itself. The above-ocean part has clear air, stable wind flow, a lack of light pollution, and other attributes that make it one of the best spots on the earth to view astronomical events through telescopes, and indeed, there are a dozen or so observatories on its peak. That peak, however, has also been considered a sacred site to native Hawaiians for at least 800 years. Hawaiian kings and other royalty have been buried there, umbilical cords have been dipped in the mountaintop lakes to impart spiritual power to royal babies, and pilgrimages to the peak by native Hawaiians have ensured connections to the Hawaiian gods. Like all mountain peaks in Hawaii, Mauna Kea’s top is seen as a place where the gods come to earth and return to the heavens, and the Hawaiian royalty who are buried up there reach the realm of the gods from the peak. Many Hawaiians today still believe in the sacredness of Mauna Kea, much as Christians hold sacred the Tomb of Christ in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jews revere the Temple Mount, or Muslims consecrate the Kaaba in Mecca. This sacredness of Mauna Kea to Hawaiians, however, has not stopped others from using and abusing the mountain, beginning with cattle ranching and timber cutting in the 1800’s and introducing many invasive plants and animals that caused the extinction of most of the native fauna and flora. Mauna Kea has seen much use by the U.S. military for training exercises, including the use of test bombing and nuclear materials that has left live ammunitions and radioactive residue, respectively, in those areas. A more modern use of the mountain, as mentioned earlier, is the building of astronomical observatories. The first observatory was completed in 1970, and at least a dozen more
have followed. A hallmark of the building of these observatories is the lack of environmental reviews or even legal permits granted to build them, despite the peak being in an area of both state-recognized historical and environmental significance and need for preservation (ironically, the site is managed by Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources). Like many things in Hawaii (and around the world), authorities look the other way when rules and regulations get in the way of obtaining what they want. The result has been, as documented by a 1998 state audit (and others) of the observatories’ gross mismanagement of the site, including inadequacy of septic and trash management, environmental degradation and destruction, nonpayment of lease fees, and much else. Not least in the audits is an accounting of the enormous disregard for culturally-sacred and other archeological sites. It should be noted that opposition to building on the peak of Mauna Kea has occurred since the first observatory was proposed in 1967 and has been on-going by native Hawaiian spiritual leaders, the Sierra Club, the Audubon Society, and many other groups and individuals who care about the mountain. A current controversy on Mauna Kea is the building of the Thirty-Meter Telescope (TMT). Perceived as a “need” by many in the scientific community, this extremely large observatory would use new technologies to allow greatly-enhanced resolution and sensitivity (even greater than the Hubble Telescope currently orbiting the Earth) for exploration into deep space, around black holes, and of exoplanets. Arguments to allow the building of the telescope follow all of the usual colonial and imperialistic reasons. A common refrain is that the protectors are breaking the law and therefore should be removed physically to allow construction to continue. This is immature social reasoning, ignoring that there are times when some minor laws need to be broken for higher purposes. Indeed, the founding of this country and all major social justice gains have been advanced and achieved through civil disobedience; the elite who have money and power that they wish to maintain will resort to the rule of law when it suits them and ignore it when they want, as the building of the other Mauna Kea observatories so ironically shows. Another argument proposes that pre-historic Hawaiians had an advanced knowledge of astronomy (which is true) and certainly would have approved of increasing that
member Kelly Gomez, who encountered many immigrant parents during her 2017 campaign, “Many of them were very interested and passionate about the issues…but didn’t have the ability to decide for themselves who would represent them on the school board.” Still, the district would have to solve one big problem before it could expect large-scale non-citizen participation in future elections: How to keep the identities of non-citizens who register to vote away from federal immigration agents. That problem plagued San Francisco last year because voting rolls are public. The fact they could be identified as undocumented and perhaps deported was one big reason non-citizens registered in tiny numbers when they got the chance. That’s one problem the Los Angeles district will have to solve if it wants to open things up for non-citizens. But officials there and elsewhere ought to think hard before they proceed because it would remove one more distinction between citizens and non-citizens, just five years after illegal immigrants became eligible for California driver’s licenses. Removing such distinctions diminishes the incentive to work toward citizenship, and citizenship is a necessity for immigrants wanting to advance in society.
knowledge with this innovative and superior telescope. This argument is, of course, a slap in the face to the Hawaiian culture that connects astronomy to strong spiritual beliefs and the need to protect the land, as well as to the current Hawaiians trying to protect their mountain and the spiritual connection to their ancestors. A related argument is that the scientific knowledge that the world will gain from the telescope trumps the concerns of a small group of locals. This is the epitome of scientific colonialism, and it does not go over well with the groups of people who have been conquered, their culture destroyed, their children beaten, and their lands stolen, all for “the greater good,” or with those who empathize with them. Many native Hawaiians today rightfully feel cheated out of their heritage, and the argument that they must give up yet another sacred site for the supposed benefit of all has them drawing the line. Many environmentalists feel the same way about the mountain. Likewise are almost 1,000 scientists (many of them astronomers) from around the world that signed a letter declaring support for the Hawaiian spiritual leaders. We are brought up with the idea that science is objective, that it does not bring values into its realm. This is a falsehood propagated by those who benefit from the results of scientific projects. All science is based on the values of the culture in which the scientists are doing its work. All science is performed by people, who have their own values and cannot escape from them in their work (nor should they try to). Which scientific projects are dreamed of, financed, and carried out are a result of the values of the society and those who create them. The Thirty Meter Telescope is no exception. Many other worthy scientific and humanitarian projects will not be completed because of the billions of dollars needed to complete this observatory, because these other projects are not considered as worthy. Whether the telescope is built or not will be a result of the value placed on it versus the value of being considerate of the religious, spiritual, cultural, environmental, and historical milieu in which the project is set. At this point, the governor of Hawaii appears to be leaning toward the moneyed interests. Native Hawaiian leaders and protectors are trying to resolve the issue peacefully. Whether colonialism will rule once again or the spiritual and ancestral rights of the local population and the maintenance of a healthy ecosystem will be honored remains to be seen.
LETTER TO THE EDTIOR
Community Ignites Spirit of the Holidays
Editor, They say: it takes a village. That sentiment proven accurate at the 2019 Big Brothers Big Sisters “Ugly Sweater” themed Holiday Party. Nearly 400 children and family members come together with volunteers and dozens of community organizations to ignite the spirit of the holidays for the families we serve. Each classroom at Charles E. Teach Elementary School teamed up to create clever holiday themed carnival games and their parents, youth and staff hosted our crew. Tummies were filled, thanks to a tasty lunch provided by Panda Express, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Trader Joe’s. The famous Madonna Inn Bakery gifted the children with “ugly sweater” shaped cookies to decorate. California Highway Patrol, San Luis Obispo Police Department and Bike SLO County empowered children with entertaining exhibits. In heartwarming style, Morris and Garritano Insurance, RRM Design Group, Trader Joe’s, Cal Poly’s Center for Service in Action, Athleta and the San Luis Obispo Collection, donated a record number of gifts to ensure that each of our Little Brothers and Sisters went home with a personalized gift in their arms. We would also like to thank our festive volunteers from Cal Poly’s RPTA program, Delta Sigma Pi and Theta Chi fraternities, along with Rob Muller and Angelica Grady, for helping make this tremendous event possible and successful! I am honored and blessed to be part of such a warm, giving community that generously wraps around our vulnerable children to ensure a safe, meaningful and memorable holiday season. Sarah Rudd Program Director, Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Luis Obispo County

In Paso Robles, Plaza Cleaners and Fashion Cleaners and Laundry also cleaned free of charge, allowing the items to be fresh and ready to wear. In some cases, we received monetary donations and Michelle Velasco, our “savvy shopper” was able to purchase new items. Other supporters donated many new coats and jackets, making it a rich selection from the community. My column is shorter than usual since we have had six days of Coats for Kids, and I think I’m tired. But not too
tired to thank everyone in SLO County and particularly in North County, who participated with us in this project. It was a pleasure to partner with members of Toy Bank of Greater Paso Robles and Salvation Army last Saturday at the Paso Robles Event Center and in Atascadero with Loaves and Fishes, Atascadero Kiwanis, Marine Corp Reserve Toys for Tots and the Salvation Army at the National Guard Armory. Watch for more “recaps” as the days go on. For now, thanks for your support of Coats for Kids! Cheers!

Christmas season. Last Saturday in Paso Robles, we served approximately 400 families with something warm to wear. The families included, along with parents, 514 girls and 387 boys, from infancy to 12 years of age. In Atascadero, we helped approximately 250 families. They included 201 girls and 232 boys, for a total of 433 children from infancy through 12 years, with some teens in the count also. Coats for Kids was blessed this year with donations of wonderful warm, new and gently used items. Gently used items were cleaned free of
A
IT’S THE PITTS
word to wise newly married couples...if you’re going to have kids have one, two or four but never three. For your happiness and that of your family avoid the much dreaded middle child. Believe me, I was one. The first child is always the best and brightest to be born ever since that kid who was born in a barn in Bethlehem. It’s true, my brother was highly intelligent, graduated number three in his class at West Point and got an MBA from MIT. That’s not bad for the son of an alcoholic father. I was the proverbial second son who grew up on leftovers and hand-me-downs and my spoiled sister was the spoiled baby of the family.
After having two boys my mom really wanted a daughter which she finally got on the third try. So to recap, you had the perfect first son, the spoiled baby daughter and hey, remember me in the middle? The problem being the second son is that I couldn’t bring anything new to the table. No new anatomical plumbing to stare at or cute little boy-dresses to buy. The newness had already been worn off by the time I arrived. My brother’s baby book is crammed full of photos, locks of hair and every page is filled out down to his first patoot. Whereas my mother seems to have lost interest in baby boys by the time I came around because she didn’t write anything in my baby book after only completing half of my first name. I swear... it’s empty! While it may be hard to believe I was ever a quiet person I’m told by people who knew me then that I didn’t talk until I was three years old and that was because my brother did all the talking for both of us. And this never changed. I’m not surprised I became a writer because that’s the only way I could get a word in edgewise.
You may think I’m exaggerating but I have statistical proof that I was the odd one out. Back when I was a kid pickups only came with one bench seat in the cab that would hold three adults and a baby on mommy’s lap. Count with me now... there’s a father, mother, first child, baby and... oh, where’s that other kid? In the back of the truck with the dog, that’s where. I didn’t know that trucks had heaters until I was old enough to buy my own truck. Believe me, the big chip on my shoulder is well deserved. When my sister was about eight years old she got her dance recital photo on the front page of our newspaper in her cherub tutu outfit. My perfect brother drew a goatee and a set of devil horns on the photo of my sister in the newspaper. I thought it was an excellent likeness but my mom hit the roof and came out swinging with a yardstick to punish the young graffiti artist. But instead of thwacking my brother she automatically assumed I’d done it since my brother never did anything wrong. Then my mom told my father when he got home and after consuming his
nightly quota of booze he too levied punishment. I pleaded my innocence but it only made them madder and they only hit harder, all while my brother didn’t say a thing! Both of them would be locked up today for what they did to me back then. Thirty years later my brother finally admitted his guilt and everyone got a jolly laugh about it. Except me. I know you think I’m exaggerating about the horrors of being a middle child but how many of you can say that your parents ever totally forgot your birthday when you were a child? I was about ten when it happened to me. I remember like it was yesterday, debating whether I should spill the beans or wait until the day after my birthday to remind everyone. I never could keep a secret so about time for dessert that night I asked, “Mom, do you know what day it is?” At first she waved me toward the calendar but seconds later she replied, “It’s Tuesday December 27, Oh my God! I’m so sorry!” And believe me, until the day she died I never let her forget it either.
‘Receiving One Another’: Romans 15:7
Dr. Gary Barker, Pastor CONTRIBUTOR
O
ne of the great doctrines of the New Testament is that in Christ, all believers are equal. Practicing equality promotes unity and prevents both bigotry and racism. It is sinful to be a bigot or racist. Treating other people as an equal will encourage acceptance and eliminate discrimination, prejudice,
and the prideful belief that a particular race is superior to another race. The apostle Paul in Romans 14:1-15:7 was instructing the Roman believers who were Gentiles to accept Jewish believers as equals. The unity of the local church in Rome was being destroyed because of intolerance and sinful attitudes of superiority, which manifested itself in showing partiality and disrespect for others. There are only two biblical justifications for rejecting and separating from other people: 1) Living in sin and rebellion against God (Ephesians 5:11-12, 2 Thessalonians 3:6, 14-15) and 2) Promoting and teaching False doctrine (Romans 16:17, Titus 1:13-16, Revelation 2:12-17). Biblical separation is right when it is based upon judging and separating from sin (1
Corinthians 5:9-13) and refuting and rejecting false teaching (1 Timothy 6:3-5). False unity is maintained when either sin or false doctrine is tolerated. It is the personal responsibility of every believer to treat other believers as equals. This is the command of the apostle Paul in Romans 15:7: “Therefore receive one another just as Christ also received us to the glory of God.” The word “receive” is a present imperative in the Greek text of this verse. It is a command that is to be done continuously. The word literally means to accept with special interest as a friend and to welcome with kindness. These actions are obviously the opposite of rejecting people caused by prejudice or bigotry. The example of receiving other people is like Christ did. Christ accepts all those who believe in
Him (Ephesians 1:6, Galatians 3:26-28, Romans 15:7). No believer is superior to another believer. This is true with race and gender. This New Testament teaching will transform and change the social relationships of the societies of the world. This change will be promoted by loving others as Christ loved us. Christlike acceptance of others as equals will eliminate the evils produced by prejudice, bigotry and rejection. I experienced seeing the transformation that acceptance and love can produce as a missionary to Africa. Black and white people loved and treated one another as equals. This action also significantly elevated the status of women. May God enable us as believers to practice accepting and receiving one another in Christlike love.

Pedersen has been a part of the Delta Liquid Energy family for more than 30 years, and his last day on the job will be Tuesday, Dec. 31. He started his career with Delta RV, a recreational vehicle parts and service store, as a service technician for the Paso Robles location in September 1989. Five years later, he was promoted to his current position as Delta RV Department Manager. “It’s been a very fulfilling, worthwhile career for me,” Pedersen said of his time with Delta RV. “I love helping people enjoy their RV experience and solving problems.” He said that over the years, he’s made friends with many of his customers and enjoys hearing about their favorite places to travel. He looks forward to visiting those places during his retirement years. The Black Hills of South Dakota and the Pacific Northwest are both at the top of the list.
Delta RV Department Manager Rick Pedersen, left, is retiring after working more than 30 years with the company. Kari Dulitz, right, will be the new manager. Photo contributed Vice President of Business Enterprises for Delta Liquid Energy Robert Jacobs said that it has been a “distinct pleasure to work with Rick Pedersen for more than 28 years. He has not only been a tremendous asset to Delta RV, but a good friend as well. His interaction with the customers is a large part
of the excellent reputation for service Delta RV has enjoyed for more than thirty years. I wish only the best for Rick as he embarks on his well-deserved retirement.” Although it is difficult to say “see you later” to such an integral part of the Delta RV team, the store will remain in
good hands as managerial roles are turned over to 13-year Delta RV veteran, Kari Dulitz. She’s been working alongside Pedersen for many years and is ready to take on the new role. Pedersen said he will miss his coworkers and his customers the most and that he’s “very grateful to the Platz family for having me for 30 years.” Delta RV and Delta Liquid Energy encourage customers from the local community to stop by their location in the coming weeks to wish Pedersen a fond farewell. Delta Liquid Energy is a fourth-generation, family-owned and operated propane marketer headquartered in Paso Robles. The company has been in business since 1936 and operates nine service facilities and two rail terminals throughout California and Southern Nevada. Delta RV is located in the same building as the DLE corporate headquarters at 1960 Ramada Drive, Paso Robles and can be reached at 805591-4463.

USGS: 4.3 Earthquake Reported Near Cholame STAFF REPORT COUNTY — A magnitude 4.3 earthquake was reported Tuesday at 10:29 a.m. Pacific
time 6.7 miles north-northwest from Cholame, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake occurred 21 miles from Paso Robles. ]
According to the United States Geological Survey’s online earthquake reporting system, 216 people felt it as of 11 a.m. An average of 234 earth-
quakes with magnitudes between 3.0 and 4.0 occur per year in California and Nevada, according to a recent threeyear data sample.
PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles Police Department will be conducting a DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint on Dec. 19 at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 7 p.m. and 2 a.m. DUI checkpoints like this one are in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests, PRPD reported. Officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, with officers checking drivers for proper licensing. The Paso Robles Police Department reminds drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” If you take prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, you might be impaired enough to get a DUI. Marijuana can also be impairing, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs, and can result in a DUI. In 2017, 1,120 people died in alcohol-involved crashes on California roads. Last year the Paso Robles Police Department dealt with over 300 DUI-related investigations. The Paso Robles Police Department offers these reminders to ensure you have a safe night of fun that doesn’t involve a DUI: • Always use a designated sober driver — a friend who is not drinking, ride-share, cab, or public transportation — to get home. • See someone who is impaired try and drive? Take the keys and help them make other arrangements to find a sober way home. • Report drunk drivers — Call 911. • Hosting a party? Offer nonalcoholic drinks. Monitor who is drinking and how they are getting home. Getting home safely is cheap, but getting a DUI is not. Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with DUI can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to be upwards of $13,500, PRPD reported. This includes fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspension and other expenses, not to mention possible jail time. Funding for this checkpoint is provided to Paso Robles Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Wreaths Across America Honors Nearly 150 Atascadero Veterans 2nd annual held Saturday at Pine Mountain Cemetery By BRIAN WILLIAMS ATASCADERO — Nearly 150 wreaths were set out on the headstones of veterans throughout Atascadero’s Pine Mountain Cemetery on Saturday. As each wreath was placed, the soldier’s name was said aloud. This was the second year for the local Wreaths Across America event, and the number of wreaths doubled from the previous year. “Remember we are not here today to decorate graves,” said emcee and US Navy Ret. Charles Kania. “We are here to remember not their deaths, but their lives. Each wreath is a gift of appreciation from a grateful America.” Wreaths Across America is a relatively new event, but has gained in popularity since a 2005 photo of the stones at Arlington, adorned with wreaths and covered in snow, circulated the internet.

WAA started in 1992, honors service members interred at cemeteries across the US and invites volunteers to place wreaths decorated with bows on their graves. The largest gathering was in Arlington National Cemetery, where 253,000 wreaths were set out on Saturday. “We understand we have Veterans Day in the fall and Memorial Day in the spring, but our service members sacri-
fice their time and safety every single day of the year to preserve our freedoms,” Wreaths for America says on its website. “In many homes, there is an empty seat for one who is serving or one who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. There is no better time to express our appreciation than during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.” In Atascadero, the event began at noon under a partly
cloudy sky. US Air Force Ret. Maj. Donald Luce organizes it each year. On Saturday, Dec. 14, Wreaths Across America ceremonies were held in every state and more than 20 overseas locations. “The freedoms we enjoy today have not come without a price,” Kania said. “Here before us and in cemeteries throughout this nation are men and women who gave their lives
so that we can live in freedom without fear.” Two ceremonial wreaths were set out. World War II veteran of the 107th Cavalry Charles “Cap” Capper laid the wreath for Fallen Brothers and Sisters. Nicole Marie Hider of Boy Scout Troop 51 set the wreath for Fallen Gold Star Families. A bell rang seven times after each wreath’s placing. Each branch of the military took part in the ceremony. A representative from each laid a wreath at the foot of their branch’s flag and then saluted — Army 1st Sgt. Ret. Jeffrey Mansfield, Marine Corps Sgt. Leia
Larson, Navy Petty Officer David Evers Jr., Luce, Coast Guard Master Chief David Evers Sr., and Merchant Marines Midshipman Michael Reilly. Boy Scouts Troop 51 provided the Color Guard. Troop 51 Scout Darin Gong sounded Taps on a bugle and Paul Dunn played “Amazing Grace” on a bagpipe. After the ceremony, everyone in attendance helped set the 144 wreaths out across the cemetery. A small flag on a headstone signaled that wreath would be laid by a family member. Not every veteran in the cemetery received a wreath. Money raised throughout the year by the local group is used to purchase as many wreaths as possible. “Today, we show a united front of gratitude and respect across the United States of America as we remember the fallen, honor those who serve and teach our children the value of freedom,” Kania said in closing. For more information or to make a donation to the local ceremony, call Kania at 202367-2638 or Luce at 805-4344008.

County, Cities Agree to Build Regional Animal Services Facility Estimated shared cost is about $20 million, with County taking on first $1 million Beach, Morro Bay, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach and San Luis Obispo to authorize and fund this project. It will replace the 43-year-old public animal shelter located off Highway 1 between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay. “This project shows how our local governments can come together to meet a com-
STAFF REPORT COUNTY — San Luis Obispo County’s new regional, public animal services facility project is moving forward at an estimated cost of about $20 million. The County joined forces with the cities of Atascadero, Arroyo Grande, Grover
munity need,” said County Administrative Officer Wade Horton. “We don’t need an extravagant facility, but one that will serve all communities in SLO County well into the future.” On Tuesday, the County Board of Supervisors took steps to move the project forward, which included ap-
proving budget changes to an agreement with all seven cities and awarding the construction contract to F&H Construction out of Lodi. The Board also adopted a resolution to authorize the project’s financing. The State requires the County and local cities to provide public animal ser-
vices, but the current facility is deteriorating beyond repair and conflicts with humane standards of animal sheltering. When complete, the new facility will: incorporate design features to create a more sustainable, long-lasting facility; provide an inviting facility for people looking to adopt pets; allow for the humane care of sheltered animals into the future; support the community’s already active animal services volunteer program; and more.
A 2017 study led by North County cities concluded that this new regional shared facility is the most cost viable option. The original cost estimate of the project was about $14.5 million, but the latest estimate after completing negotiations with F&H construction is around $20 million. The increase can be attributed to inflation, increased costs of construction materials, a nationwide building boom, and more stringent labor laws in California. The shared costs are estimated at $19 million, with the County taking on the first $1 million to help ease the financial burden to partner cities.

STAR WARS FANS CONTINUED FROM A1
“I needed to build a connection, being a mom of boys,” said Deanne. “It was important to me to become ‘the Star Wars nerd’... but I wasn’t nearly the geek I was until I realized that I needed to build that connection with my sons.” Deanne forged a tradition of taking her kids to the opening midnight showings of the movies, something that was frowned upon by some people. At the debut of “Episode 2: Attack of the Clones” (the fifth movie made), she brought her 5- and 6-year-old boys to the late-night show, on a school night. The bond constructed in their childhood remains strong. When it came time to pick songs for her oldest son’s wedding, Star Wars demonstrated its influence. “The Throne Room” song was chosen for the couple’s recessional walk. To her surprise and delight, Deanne said her son picked a cha-cha version of “The Cantina Song” from Episode 4 for their mother/son dance. Though popularly referred to as the Cantina Song, its actual name is “Mad About Me.” “We were the hit of the wedding — people were screaming and hootin’ and hollerin’ and it was a blast,” Deanne said. Of the myriad of characters that fill the Star Wars universe, Deanne said picking her favorite was easy — Princess Lea. “She was fierce, feisty and unforgettable,” Deanne said. “More than anything, I loved her independence and loyalty.”
ATASCADERO MAN HAS A WEALTH OF STAR WARS KNOWLEDGE
Atascadero resident Sedale Collins was introduced to Star Wars through the merchandise, namely a Darth Maul action figure accompanied by a speeder and a battle droid.
His first movie memory of the Star Wars universe starts with “Episode II: Attack of the Clones.” “I remember the audience cheering when Yoda was fighting the first time,” Sedale said. As one would expect of a mega-fan, Sedale’s room is full of Star Wars paraphernalia. The neat and tidy space is full of merchandise, artwork and books all pertaining to the space fantasy series. One Sedale’s favorite things to collect is lightsabers. He said he doesn’t know how many he owns, indicating his numerous laser swords leaning against the wall. “Lightsabers and books are my thing,” Sedale said. His most expensive lightsaber is a replica of the one carried by the character Ahsoka Tano, who plays a crucial part in the Clone Wars canon. She is the main character in the animated series and Anakin Skywalker’s padawan. He said the most difficult saber he has collected so far was the dual Darth Maul replicas due to their popularity. Yoda being his favorite good guy in the series, Sedale has received and purchased Yodas and merchandise pertaining to the little green Jedi master. Giant green-eared bobbleheads and action figures look down from the top shelves of his room. Sedale even has a set of four Yoda coffee mugs. However, when asked what is his favorite item that he owns, Sedale immediately displays a snowglobe depicting the “Episode IV: A New Hope” movie poster. Sedale did not buy his most cherished item but received it as a Christmas gift a long time ago. Sitting in front of a significant collection of books and graphic novels, Sedale showed off more than merchandise. He retains a wealth of Star Wars information, both legend and new cannon, that he keeps hidden like a magician who hides flowers and handkerchiefs up his sleeves but are readily produced upon request. At the age of 13, his knowledge got him into a special 3D showing of “Episode One: The Phantom Menace.” Answering the question, who said, “At last we will have revenge?” At the special showing, he answered even more questions and won free tickets to Lego Land. Besides the latest addition to the saga hitting the theaters Friday, Dec. 20, Sedale is looking forward to the Star Wars Celebration 2020 taking place in Anaheim this summer. The event is a gathering of fans that celebrate the space opera adventure, allowing them to be privy to the latest and greatest developments, buy merchandise and meet the actors who breathe life into the iconic characters.
FORCE IS STRONG IN TEMPLETON
It’s no secret around Templeton High School that Band Director David Landers is a big fan of Star Wars. His T-shirt with a trombone-wielding stormtrooper on the front gives you an idea of the depth of fandom. He’s grown up with the Star Wars saga and today is happily sharing it with his family, specifically his 13-year-old son Grayson. He’s rewatched the movies with his family and taken them to the latest releases. They will be there on opening night for “Rise of Skywalker” this week. It will mark the end of a long journey for many. “The most recent trailer when they ask C-3PO what are you doing there bud and he says ‘I’m taking one last look at my friends,’ each time I watch that I’m like man stop it because it is the last one,” David said. His favorite movies of the canon so far are “Return of the Jedi,” “Revenge of the Sith” and “Rogue One.” “With all of the griping and poo-pooing that went on with regards to the prequels, for me, I never really griped or poo-pooed because to me it was about the story,” David said. “I just wanted to know more about the story of these characters regardless of how it’s told or why Jar Jar Binks is even a character.” David has been the band director at

just above the Public Works lift station. Public Works Director Nick Debar told the Council that originally the area was earmarked for a small amphitheater. He felt the courts took precedent and another spot could be found for an outdoor auditorium. Currently, players us the community center’s gym and its basketball courts, but space and availability are limited. Atascadero Pickleball Club President Barbara Sims said that courts could and do attract players from outside the city limits. She said she occasionally plays at the Paso Robles courts and even Morro Bay. She said it’s a common practice for players to search out pickup games

of,” Deputy City Manager Terrie Banish said. Zappas said the ABID plans on having bands strategically placed downtown and Motions Academy of Dance will have dance troops scattered throughout the area. She said the event’s theme for January is “The Roaring 20s” to celebrate the new decade. “It will be post-holidays, so there will be some good deals

out there,” Zappas said. The City and ABID have worked to have First Fridays coincide with other city attractions with the intention of drawing more people downtown. The Art, Wine & Brew Tours will take place during First Friday functions. The owner of Anna and Mom, Anna Pecharich, said she is excited about the First Fridays. She said events like these help local business owners and remind people of Atascadero’s growing retail
and dining district. “I think as a community, we are not used to shopping in Atascadero, so it’s super exciting to have events in our downtown to give people a reason to come down and then discover everything that’s happening,” Pencharich said as she geared up for the downtown’s annual Winter Wonderland event. “We’ve got businesses opening, and we’re really trying to come to the forefront of people’s minds that it is an option to shop in your town.”
THS for the past 18 years and is known for including music from Star Wars composer John Williams in their band performances. He also plays in San Luis Obispo Symphony and brings Star Wars into the mix. “When we do the children’s concerts with the SLO Symphony, and they go around and introduce all of the instruments and have them play something, I always play ‘The Imperial March.’ Dum dum dum, dum-te-dum, dum-te-dum. All of the kids instantly recognize it and just go crazy.” David was 7-years-old when “Star Wars” first appeared on movie screens in 1977. “I saw it five times at the theater when I was a kid in Nashville, Tenn.,” David said. David was 10 when “The Empire Strikes Back” came out and 13 when “Return of the Jedi” was released. He saw each multiple times. A lot has changed over the past four decades since movie-goers first met and became enamored with Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Darth Vader. David subscribes to Disney Plus and has been rewatching the movies as well as the new series, “The Mandalorian.” “I found myself sitting there watching ‘New Hope, Episode IV,’ on my phone,” David said. “I remarked to myself ‘holy cow I’m sitting here watching this on my phone’ and remembering when it came out in ‘77. Back then, after it was out in the theaters, we had no more exposure to Star Wars until the next movie came out.” David said he and his friends bought and played with Star Wars action figures. And when they didn’t have the exact playset, they created one with styrofoam and markers. “I would make my own playsets that my brother, sister and I would play with,” David said. David doesn’t have any of the Star Wars memorabilia from when he was a kid. “You don’t think about things, the collectible culture, when you are 10 or 11,” David said. “I was never into that. I was a kid playing with them, not just keeping them.” He did have a lot of the action figures. His prized figure was Boba Fett, which he got before “The Empire Strikes Back” came out by sending in five proofs of purchase. “It was before anybody had seen Boba Fett,” David said. “Nobody knew who that character was. It was this cool looking character, and you got it for free. I definitely did that. That is the one that man if I still had that I could pay for his (Grayson’s) college.”
while traveling. “If we’re out on the road traveling,” Sims said, “we’re definitely looking for a place to play pickleball. We went to Oregon last summer and camped for two weeks and played pickleball in Oregon. We went to Colorado the year before and we played in Colorado. A lot of people plan their vacations around where they can play pickleball.” Although there is currently no money allocated for the courts in the City’s budget, Sims said that the popularity of the sport brings with it money from outside sources. Sims said the APC formed almost three years ago as a nonprofit organization to help raise funds for the game. Sims explained that the City’s decision to add courts to the park’s master plan is
a big boost for the club. She said people were hesitant to donate to the organization due to the lack of official support from the City. “That’s why it was huge for us to have that master plan change because now we can tell people that the City is on board,” Sims said. “They’ve changed the designation of the land officially to pickleball.” The estimated cost of the project is $142,000, with the majority of the expense going to lay the concrete slab, according to a brochure produced by APC. Current estimates do not include outdoor lights. Sims said the club had raised approximately $25,000. She said that the day after the Council meeting, the club received $3,000 from a donor who wished to remain anonymous.

Hounds, Eagles Win at Soccer Tourneys
Cal Poly Announces New Head Football Coach Beau Baldwin set to lead Mustangs
By CONNOR ALLEN connor@atascaderonews.com
CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE
Both the Atascadero and Templeton high school girls soccer teams went on the road this weekend for a pair of twoday tournaments and each celebrated Saturday afternoon, Dec. 14, by hoisting a trophy over their heads. The Eagles spent the weekend in Fresno playing in the Peggy Renberg Holiday Classic and went 3-1, while the Greyhounds went 4-0 in Bakersfield playing for the Mira Monte Lions Cup.
SAN LUIS OBISPO — Beau Baldwin, who coached Eastern Washington to the 2010 NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision national title and has served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Cal the last three seasons, became Cal Poly’s 17th head football coach Wednesday. Mustang director of athletics Don Oberhelman and Cal Poly president Jeffrey Armstrong made the announcement inside the Recreation Center’s Multi-Activity Center. “I’m delighted to introduce Beau Baldwin as our head football coach,” said Oberhelman. “Beau is someone I have known and respected for a very long time, and I am so pleased that he is now a member of the Mustang Family. “His desire to lead and mentor young men, and be an educator is something that is a ‘must’ at Cal Poly,” Oberhelman added. “In addition, he has a proven track record of winning Big Sky and national championships, recruiting top notch student-athletes, graduating his students, and creating NFL opportunities for many. “Beau just seems to fit perfectly with Cal Poly.” “We are thrilled to welcome Coach Baldwin to Cal Poly,” said Armstrong. “Coach Baldwin’s winning record and many accomplishments on the field are impressive, but equally impressive is his history of developing young men of character and supporting high academic achievement. “His passion for winning is complemented by his commitment to winning the right way and upholding the same values we hold dear at Cal Poly,” Armstrong added. Baldwin is returning to the Big Sky Conference after a three-year absence, compiling a 58-14 record in Big Sky Conference games and 85-32 overall from 2008-16 as head coach at Eastern Washington with five Big Sky titles, six FCS playoff berths and the national championship nine years ago.

Greyhounds Host Ruth Doser Coast vs. Valley Tournament By CONNOR ALLEN connor@atascaderonews.com ATASCADERO — Darvel Cullors is the new coach of the Atascadero High School girls basketball team. He has been part of the girls basketball program for the past two decades. Now is his chance to call the shots at the varsity level. “I started with the freshman in the early 90s, and I’ve been doing it ever since,” Cullors said. “I was here when Paul Hill was here, Randy Wright, I’ve watched a lot of good coaches come through here and am looking to fill some shoes.” Cullors has coached either the freshman or junior varsity team for more than 20 years. His opportunity to coach varsity came after long-time coach Jim Stecher, who started the program, re-

PASO COACHES CONTINUED FROM B1
“I wasn’t offered a new contract,” said Reynolds, who also works as an intervention specialist at the high school. He said the decision was made Monday and confirmed at the school board meeting Dec. 10, which coincidentally fell on the same night of the Bearcats football banquet. “Basically, I’m a victim of circumstance,” Reynolds said. “I am kind of caught in the crossfire of the district trying to fix issues, I guess.” PRJUSD officials issued a press release Wednesday afternoon, stating the moves were made after an audit found that district policy for hiring coaches was not followed. “As part of our Human Resource audit, the district analyzed the hiring practices of coaching positions over the past four years,” district officials stated. “This audit addressed the district’s procedures related to Education Code 44919(b) and Board Policy 4127. Both of these governing documents relate to the hiring procedures of athletic stipended positions and the process in which qualified teachers employed by the district must have a preference in the hiring process. It was discovered in this audit that the hiring of two athletic coaching positions did not follow the district policy, and therefore will now be advertised in accordance with our district procedures. These positions include the Head Football Coach and Head Swimming Coach.” The District made it clear this had nothing to do with wins or losses. “This decision is no way a reflection of the coaching performance or either coach,” PRJUSD officials stated. “We are grateful for the hard work and dedication of both coaches and their focus on our student-athletes. We are very sorry for the disruption this may cause our athletic programs and the individuals affected by this audit finding.” PRJUSD also addressed filling the openings. “The positions will be advertised internally to our current teaching staff immediately,” the District stated. “We encourage all qualified teachers to apply. If there are no qualified teacher candidates, we will open the position to external applicants.” Reynolds took over as interim head coach after week one of the 2017 season, following a mutual-parting with Larry Grant. He was officially hired on Dec. 13, 2017, after leading the Bearcats to an undefeated league title. Through three seasons, Reynolds was 11-18 overall. Reynolds recalled being interviewed for the head coach position at the conclusion of the 2017 season. “I applied and had to go through an interview process when I got this job,” Reynolds said. “I was the interim but there were three other people that I interviewed against for the football job.” PRJUSD has notified Reynolds that he will not be able to apply when the position is flown within the district because he is not a teacher, which makes it unlikely he would be able to submit an application for the position again. “I am saddened that I am not going to be able to finish what I started,” Reynolds said. “And that I am not going to be able to work with those kids anymore in that capacity.” The Paso Robles Press also reached out to former swim coach Sauret, who was hired in 2017 and has coached the swim team for the past two seasons, and is awaiting a response.

RUTH DOSER CONTINUED FROM B1
‘Hey man, great job.’ I am happy and I’m excited to see what is going to happen.” This past weekend, the Greyhounds hosted their annual Ruth Doser Girls Basketball Tournament. They invited several teams from the Central Valley. Farmersville, Porterville, North Bakersfield and Sanger made the trip to Ewing Gymnasium to meet Mission Prep, Cabrillo, Santa Maria and the Hounds in a round-robin style tournament. Atascadero was short-handed in their tournament, as is often the case this time of year with seasonal touches of flu coupled with family vacations planned around the holidays. The Greyhounds went into their
first game with only seven girls dressed to play. North Bakersfield recognized it and pressed the entire game. Atascadero stayed in the game, but could not close the gap late and fell 56-49. “I was missing a couple of girls this weekend that were either out sick or just not here. We don’t have a really big team, but we have a lot of heart,” Cullors said. “Those guards never came out and never got tired, they never even asked to come out, so I’ve got some tough guards. Once we get in shape and start really trusting what’s going on in the program and trusting the play, we’ll do great.” The Hounds return second-team, all-league guard Olivia Sprouse for her senior year. She will look to run the offense with fellow guard Nina Reeves and will work the pick-androll with center-power forward
Lindsay Zillag and hope to have it fine-tuned for the Ocean League. In their second game of the tournament, the Hounds faced Sanger and fell 68-40. The Hounds are 0-8 on the season and look to pick up their first win when they start Ocean League play on Jan. 10 at home against St. Joseph.

TEMPLETON, ATASCADERO SOCCER CONTINUED FROM B1
The Greyhound girls cruised to victory in Lions Cup action over the weekend and outscored their opponents 16-1. Atascadero’s lone allowed goal came in their first game of the weekend when they played Bakersfield-Independence. The Hounds beat Independence 2-1 in their opener and caught a break with their next game. Due to one of the teams not showing up, Mira Monte’s junior varsity was slotted into the open spot and Atascadero played them in the second game, winning 7-0 and went into day two full of confidence. In the semifinals, the Hounds played Golden West, and again their defense was strong, allowing AHS to punch their ticket to the championship against the host Mira Monte. Mira Monte’s varsity did not avenge the loss their JV team suffered and almost got beat worse. The Hounds rolled to a 5-0 victory in the title game to win the cup. While the Eagles dropped one game over the weekend, they outscored their opponents 14-2 and only allowed one team to score. Templeton opened the tournament against Farmerville and won 8-0 with six different girls scoring goals. Templeton played Tulare Union in the second game, but was held scoreless in the second half while allowing two goals and lost 2-1. Saturday, the Eagles played Visalia-El Diamante in the Division II semifinals in another defensive matchup, but this time emerged victorious 1-0. In the championship, Templeton played Atwater-Buhach Colony and brought their offense, scoring two goals in the first half and two in the second to win 4-0.

“More than anything, I am just humbled and honored to be a part of the Mustang family and to be a part of a culture of commitment and history that is rich both on and off the field,” said Baldwin. “With the coaches and former student-athletes who were here before me, they set an amazing foundation that allows for the opportunity for myself and the program to keep moving in a great direction. “I’d like to thank Don Oberhelman and President Armstrong. I just appreciate so much their vision and what they see in myself in being the next leader of Cal Poly football,” Baldwin added. “I have so much respect for Don over the years, what he’s done here, and President Armstrong, not only for his vision of what we can be on the field, but who Cal Poly is as a university and community. I am very humbled that I was chosen as the next leader and I can’t wait to get going and get to work.” Baldwin’s 85 wins at Eastern Washington are tied for No. 5 in the Big Sky and his .726 winning percentage is No. 7. In conference games only, Baldwin’s 58 victories are No. 4 in the Big Sky while his .806 winning percentage is No. 5 all-time. Among head coaches with five or more years of experience in the Big Sky, Baldwin is the second-winningest coach with his .806 percentage in conference games only, behind Montana’s Bobby Hauck and his .826 percentage (57-12). Both have coached in the conference for nine years. Named Big Sky Coach of the Year in both 2012 and 2013, Baldwin also was head coach at Central Washington in 2007, winning 10 of 13 games and guiding the Wildcats to the NCAA Division II quarterfinals, after serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Eastern Washington for four seasons (2003-06). During Baldwin’s three seasons at Cal, the Bears won 19 of 37 games with appearances in the 2018 Cheez-It Bowl and, on Dec. 30, the 2019 Redbox Bowl versus Illinois at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. Baldwin’s offenses during his first two campaigns at Cal were highlighted by the play of Patrick Laird, the Mission Prep graduate who finished his Golden Bear career with 2,153 yards rushing and 14 touchdowns on the ground. Laird also caught more passes in his Cal career than any running back in school history with 99 receptions for 608 yards and five touchdowns. Laird’s 51 receptions as a 2018 senior campaign were also a single-season school record for a running back. Laird is now playing for the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. Cal was 7-5 during the 2019 regular season, finishing with wins over Stanford and UCLA to earn a berth in the Redbox Bowl (formerly the Emerald Bowl). Quarterback Chase Garber, who missed four midseason games due to injury, has completed 109 of 184 passes for 1,500 yards and 10 touchdowns so far this season while Christopher Brown Jr. has rushed for 794 yards and eight scores in 12 games. Baldwin will be on the opposite sideline of Cal Memorial Stadium when he returns to Berkeley on Sept. 12 as Cal Poly plays Cal for the first time in football. It will be the Mustangs’ third game ever against a Pac-12 school. “I just have a passion for being a head coach,” Baldwin said of his decision to coach at Cal Poly. “My experience in the last year at Cal was amazing and I owe a lot to Coach ( Justin) Wilcox and the knowledge that I was able to gain, the experience I had and the student-athletes who I was able to be around in the last three years. “At the end of the day, I wanted badly to have another opportunity to lead a program,” Baldwin added. “With that being said, it had to be right. It had to be the right fit, the right community with the right people and that’s what drew me to Cal Poly. It just felt like the right fit at the right time.” Prior to his arrival at Cal, Baldwin spent the previous 10 seasons as a collegiate head coach, the last nine campaigns at Eastern Washington following his first head coaching job at Central Washington in 2007. Baldwin compiled an overall record of 95-35 (.731) and a 64-16 (.800) mark in conference play in those 10 years. “It’s great to welcome back to the Big Sky Conference such an accomplished coach like Beau Baldwin,” said Big Sky commissioner Tom Wistrcill. “I know the future is very bright for Cal Poly football!”

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. All checks payable to Prestige Default Services.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

eople were already filling up Sunken Gardens before the event’s beginning at 5 p.m. On a warm Friday evening, Dec. 13, several kids played a makeshift game of football on the lawn. Bounces houses and slingshot rides that always seem to accompany Atascadero events dotted the area. When I arrived, final preparations were being made as people meandered through the park and up the streets, enjoying another evening in paradise. Food and assorted vendors booths lined both East and West Mall streets. Among the assorted vendors, San Luis Obispo County had a table with recipes and food assistance information to help those less fortunate. I strolled through the streets, making my way to the giant snow slide on Palma Avenue. Exuberant children patiently waited in a line that stretched to the Carlton Hotel. A helpful and boisterous elf told children to stay out of the snow until 5 p.m. for “insurance reasons.” Doubtless, some jested about a California winter wonderland, being 60 degrees that night. My youth pastor, Rich Whittington, used to say tell us as we boarded the bus to the Winter Camp, “It’s called Winter Camp, not snow camp.” Of course, we always found snow, just like it was on Friday. In fact, many enjoyed the 65 tons of man-made snow. The first to brave the slope

Apparently, the “jolly old elf ” is better at driving a reindeer-drawn sled than a plastic toboggan because he spilled halfway down the mountain. Oh, the agony of defeat. The red-clad wonder shouldn’t feel too bad. Several younger much nimbler elves didn’t make it either. Kaci Wagner was the first of the holiday troupe to reach the
bottom unscathed. With the streets starting to fill up, I walked up Estrada to take a few pictures of the kiddie train provided by the Elks Lodge. The tiny train was decked out in holiday cheer as Lodgers looked on. The conductor Don Collier said he’s been driving the train for the last 15 years or more. One of the Elk members teased me about being from

tainment paraphernalia. Last year, my son and I scored 3-D costume glasses, stormtrooper and Starlord, respectively. As the sun set and the night lit up with Christmas lights, the festival started getting busier. The lines to play in the two piles of snow began to grow as children waited to frolic in the ice. I watched one mom trying to soothe her wailing child as she tried to

The Atascadero News, saying that there is no such thing because it’s printed in Fresno. In what I hoped was a good-natured tone, I told him that paper is printed by Casey Printing, a Central Coast business. I also took a spin at the Galaxy Theater booth’s wheel of fortune. Manager Loren Kaplen said they’ve set up a booth every year and give away movie posters and other enter-
capture the “perfect” holiday photo of the little one laying the snow. One of the benefits of being a reporter is that I have a license to be curious. I have always struck up conversations with random people and have ended up meeting some amazing people and heard some spectacular stories. I had a great discussion with Julie and Kurt Kilburn of Oh SLO Good, who had a booth that night. The couple operates a Cottage Food operation where they make caramel treats from their home. Julie said her day job is being a statistical programmer and will challenge you to say it “five times fast.” Kurt works in the garden section of Lowe’s and is a wealth of information about lawn care. I don’t know if anything says “small-town feel” more than two guys standing around talking about landscaping. Though I heard it got very crowded as the evening progressed, my experience was more akin to walking through a Norman Rockwell painting. At the foot of City Hall, children performed shy but well-practiced dances before a group of bundled-up onlookers. From my experience, the festival’s atmosphere was happy with a night filled with holiday lights and the aroma of food and treats. I have spent years living in metropolitan areas before returning to my hometown of Atascadero. It’s great to be back in a smalltown setting where a person has room to breathe.

SHIPPING TIPS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON
It’s Not Too Late — Your Package Can Still Arrive Before Christmas! By MARK DIAZ NORTH COUNTY — Good news! Atascadero Postmaster Mark Hutchinson Sr. said it is not too late for people to get their packages to loved ones before Christmas, but time is running out. The shipping bottom line is “the sooner the better,” but Hutchinson said that customers can mail their First Class items by Dec. 20, so it’s not too late to get those Christmas cards signed and on their way. Hutchinson said the cutoff date for Priority Mail, the step up from First Class, is Dec. 21. Typically Priority Mail arrives within 2-3 days, but Hutchinson warned that it is not guaranteed. For the super procrastinator, the United States Post Office offers a faster service called Priority Express Mail, but it does cost a pretty penny. The deadline for the quickest service is Dec. 23. Unfortunately, the time for shipping Ground/Parcel, the least expensive service, has already come and gone with its cutoff date of Dec. 14. Hutchinson said that Northern California Post Offices still handle approximately 60 percent of Amazon’s shipping. He explained that with the influx of packages and letters during the holiday season, the USPS has learned its best to prioritize shipping. “This time of year, Ground ends up going last. If anything is going to make it on an airplane it will be your Priority, First Class and Ground goes next,” Hutchinson said. “So that is the one that is usually delayed if anything.” Holiday shippers can also find relief from the hustle and bustle at Perry’s Parcel and Gift, where they can purchase, package and shipped a gift all in one place. Located at 7395 El Camino Real in Atascadero, the store also performs a number of other services such
as Digital Fingerprinting and Notary Public. Perry’s Retail and Marketing Director Heileigh Bright said when it comes to shipping these days, every inch counts. She said people really need to choose the smallest box possible without compromising the integrity or safety of their items. Heileigh explained that gone are the days when boxes were charged per weight. Now, shippers base their pricing on actual weight and dimensional weight, which is essentially the size of the box. She said that many times they’ll ask their customers if their package size can be reduced to save on shipping costs. “We can save customers $20 to $30 by just taking a few inches off of their shipment,” Bright said. Perry’s also sells 70 different box sizes and can custom makes boxes for the customer for that oddly shaped holiday gift as well. Being an authorized USPS center, Perry’s offers mailing services such as certified mail and return receipts just like the local post office. There are a few things that customers can do to help their local mail carriers. Customers should check their mailboxes regularly since they can fill up quickly this time of year. People who are traveling for the holidays can put their mail on hold for free starting at a minimum of three days. If people would like to show their appreciation for all the hard work their postal workers do, they are allowed to leave gifts for them. During this busy time of year, Hutchinson said postal workers may be delivering after dark and asked the public to keep a watchful eye out for them while driving at night. UPSP customers can call Atascadero’s new service number at 805-4604140. Holiday shipping dates can be found at usps.com/holiday/holiday-shipping-dates.htm.
