ATASCADERO — Fans of cars and classic fun headed to Atascadero last weekend for Atascadero’s Cruisin’ Week end. The festivities kicked off with the 29th Annual Hot El Camino Cruise Nite on Friday, Aug. 19, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The cruise route went from Curbaril Avenue to Traffic Way, and the 500 cars partici pating drove in a loop for the whole two hours, allowing spectators to see the vehicles more than once. “The cruise night was amazing,” stated Deputy City Manager of Outreach, Promotions, and Events Terrie Banish. “We had about 500 cruisers exactly.

So we were pretty thrilled about that.”

“I saw some good things from us tonight. We have the personality to get past this. This was disappointing, but the key is the jump we can make to improve next week, and then the week after that when we play Paso Robles.”“Butfor now, we just need to check out the game film and get ready for (our next opponent) Bakersfield North.”Greyhounds will have its home opener this Friday, Aug. 26, against Bakersfield North and then host Paso Robles on Sept. 2.

A second touchdown for the Pirates was executed by Isaac Moran, who caught a 17-yard pass from Gildred and scored after bull dozing through a tackle to get into the end zone. At this point, the fans noticed the clear gap in size between Santa Ynez and Atascadero. The Greyhounds were able to keep the Pirates from advancing too far ahead in the second quarter. Santa Ynez came through with only one touchdown with a 1-yard run by Moran that was set up by a wellplaced 17-yard pass from Gildred to a pretty wide-open Beard. The Greyhounds’ Kaleb Pryor was able to make a play, intercepting Gildred at the Atascadero 2-yard line when the Pirates were threatening, saving the Greyhounds from another Santa Ynez touchdown leading into half-time.Theclosest the Greyhounds came to scoring any points was a 37-yard field goal attempt by Skylar Silva that was blocked by Santa Ynez. After halftime, the Pirates were able to gain two more touchdowns in the third quarter. Gildred threw another impressive 41-yard pass to Cole Swain for the Pirates’ fourth touchdown, then later in the third, Santa Ynez would pick up a fumble for a scoop-and-score touchdown.“Tobetruthful, both teams had first-game issues; they were just able to get past that tonight,” said Cooper.

ATASCADERO — The Atascadero High Greyhounds opened their 2022 football season on Friday, Aug. 19, with a tough loss against Santa Ynez, falling to the Pirates by a 35-0Thoughscore.itwas clear both teams may have been dealing with first-game jitters, the Santa Ynez Pirates domi nated in the trenches and the air. “The issue wasn’t effort or attitude. It was just execution,” said Atascadero Coach Vic Cooper, “I think that will be easier to work on.” In the game’s first drive, a short pass from Santa Ynez quarterback Luke Gildred resulted in receiver Daulton Beard breaking through one tackle and shaking off a second defender for a massive 82-yard touchdown.

“I’m so excited that they [the girls] have got together and that they’re supporting each other in the fundraising,” Schaefer added. “All of them are going no matter what is kind of what their attitude is right now. I just appreci ate that because I think it’s a big deal. They all know each other’s circumstances, so they know who needs more money, and they’re just being super supportive of each other.”
ATASCADERO — This summer, while attending cheer camp, six of Atascadero High School’s (AHS) seniors tried out and made it onto the All-American Cheer Team. The cheer leaders will represent AHS by performing at the London New Year’s Day Parade in London, England.“Sixof our seniors decided to try out, and six of them made it, which is pretty unheard of,” stated head cheer coach April Schaefer. “Usually, they take a small percentage of your team, like two or three girls have made it every year. This is the first year all of our girls have made it. Which is kind of Cheerleaderscool.”Sydney Beeman, Emma MacK inga, Emma Blais, Nikki Hart, Cierra Savoy, and Rachael Gee will be headed to London from Dec. 26 to Jan. 3. “They [the team] will fly to London, and then while they’re there, they do get to tour a little bit with the Cheer Association,” Schae fer said. “They have special tours they do, but then they’re also practicing for the parade, and through the parade, they are doing a dance in the freezing cold. So they dance throughout the whole parade, and they also have opportuni ties where they get to throw out some stunts. They’re exploring London but also practicing while they’re there, which is pretty cool.” In total, the six AHS cheerleaders will need to raise slightly over $22,000 in total for all of them to make the trip to England. Each of the girls is raising money independently and looking to the community to ensure they have enough funds to get all six girls to the London New Year’s Day Parade. Over the next four months, the girls, who have been cheerleading together since kindergarten, will be out in the commu nity raising money.

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — Crop values in San Luis Obispo County were up last year, accord ing to the 2021 Annual Agricultural Statistics presented by SLO County Agricultural Commissioner Martin Settevendemie.Forthesecond time in its history, SLO County crop values reached over the $1 billion mark, making it a 10 percent increase from 2020, sitting at $1,081,952,000.Whiletheoverall market goods were strong, fruit and nut crops bolstered the county’s market, with field crops and livestock producers experiencing a decline.According to the report, farmers continue to be affected by the pandemic with a shortage of supplies and an increase in their input costs. Still, they note the overall market for agricultural goods was strong in 2021. Field crops and livestock both saw a decrease mainly due to drought condi tions as field crops are primarily dry farmed compared to their fruit and vegetable counterparts. The commod ity was down a total of 26 percent. Dry conditions created a low yield for the field crops and inherently less pasture feed available for livestock driv ing up the need and cost for both grain hay and barley, yet there were hundreds of acres of field crops in SLO County that were not harvested due to product quality from dry conditions. Those same conditions contributed to the decrease of production decrease in the livestock industry. According to Settevendemie, individual cattle weight was down significantly due to the lack of available forage. He added that “Conditions for the cattle industry could take years to rebound as many ranchers have had to sell off most of their herds these past few years in response to the dry weather and poor rangeland conditions.”

Strawberries remained the top-valued crop in the county for the third straight year, reaching its highest valuation in county history at nearly $320 million. It comes as no surprise that wine grapes came in as the second high est grossing crop in the county, with an end-year value of $281.5 million. Strawberries and wine grapes make up over 55 percent of the total crop value in the county. As for avocados and lemons, their value increased despite some unfa vorable growing conditions last year. Avocados saw a 22 percent increase and an 11 percent increase for lemons. The crops ended the year substantially higher at $5.7 million and 18.6 million, respectively.Thenursery industry was stable despite challenges from labor short ages and rapidly changing product demands. However, the industry saw additional marketing opportunities due to a decrease in competition from foreign competition. At the end of the year, the nursery industry was valued at $76.5Accordingmillion.to the report, “Vegeta ble values increased slightly in 2021, as favorable weather conditions enabled growers to withstand the challenges brought on by labor shortages, increased costs, and lower overall prices for some of our main crops, such as broccoli and cauliflower. Although markets were steadier than the previous year, grow ers still experienced wide swings in farmgate prices throughout the year, and that market instability along with increasing input costs, greatly affected the profitability for local growers. Broccoli remained the county’s highest value vegetable crop, as acreage and production was up significantly. Cauliflower and head lettuce are the other local vegetable crops that remain within the top 10 valued crops in the county.”Overall, the vegetable industry saw a slight uptick with a total value of $233.5 million.“Asaformer grower, its always inter esting to see the variety and the bounty that this county produces,” said Super visor Bruce Gibson as he reminded the public that these values are gross income and do not reflect the farmer’s profit.

KARL R. HANSEN 1949 – 2022 K arl Richard Hansen, 73, of Paso Robles, CA, passed away on July 11, 2022, after a prolonged struggle with Parkinson’s Disease. Karl was born in Janu ary 1949 in Glendale, CA, to Rudolph C. and Helen E. Hansen, the second of four siblings. He grew up in College Greens Sacramento, where his parents channeled his precocious interest in electricity into classes with the local 4H club. After serving in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, Karl attended and graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering and metallurgy with a concen tration in welding. Except for a brief time in Van Nuys, CA, after college, he lived in San Luis Obispo County for the rest of his life. Karl’s early employ ment included positions in underwater surveying, metallurgy, and airplane maintenance, before he settled into a twenty-year career as an electrical engi neer, much of it with San Luis Obispo based Cuesta Systems Corporation. His early hobbies included scuba diving in Morro Bay for fresh scallops and abalone, photography, and playing endless games of chess. In 1974 he married Kathryn Sims and settled in Santa Margarita, CA, where they raised their two children, Helen and Clovas, until their sepa ration in 1992. Karl was a devoted father, a great cook, and a member of the United Methodist Church of San Luis Obispo, where he sang in the choir and attended meetings of the United Methodist Men’s Club. He later joined St Luke’s Episcopal Church in Atascadero, and in 1995 he met his current wife, Pamela Hermann (formerly Weaver), adding stepchil dren (and a spouse) and step-grandchildren to his family.Karl had a lifelong strug gle with bipolar disorder, having begun the monu mental task of controlling his disease as an adult. He and Pam continued the process, proving that folks with mental illness could lead productive, functional lives. Karl enjoyed trav eling; he and Pam visited Washington DC and took a train trip to Chicago to visit family. As well as being a dad and husband, one of his proudest achievements was his 23-year service on the San Luis Obispo County Behavioral Health Board. Karl volunteered for many organizations over the years, including KCBX, Atascadero Loaves and Fishes, and the El Camino Homeless Organization. He was a vocal proponent of human rights and fair pay for all, was optimistic, and genuinely cared about the people he met every day. Karl was preceded in death by his parents, Rudolph and Helen, and his brother John. He is survived by his wife, Pam Hermann, his siblings Larry and Kris Rich (Dan); his children, Helen Herbek (Brian) and Clovas; step-children Rob Weaver (Anna) and Lysa Weaver; step-grandchildren Ariana and Mariah Weaver; his nieces Keri and Erin and their families; and his dogs Pip and Squeak. A Celebration of Life potluck will be held at 4 pm Saturday, September 10, 2022, at Oak Creek Commons, 635 Nicklaus St, Paso Robles. Please park on the street and carpool if possible. In lieu of flowers, donations to Transitions Mental Health Associa tion, KCBX, SLOCDP, or a charity of your choice would be appreciated. 300 TOTALS (Season: July 1-June Atascadero: 0.00” Paso Robles: 0.00” ROUSH Richard Roush, 81, of Cambria passed away on August 11, 2022.

I ’d like to congratulate my friend Carole on her retire ment from clerking three and four livestock auctions a week for over 50 years. Oops, I’m sorry I realize now that by saying 50 years, I’m guilty of ageism I don’t know if you know this or not but most of the people who do the most important work at a weekly livestock auction are not male but female. Darn it, by implying that there are only two sexes, male and female, I’m ashamed to admit that I may have been gender binary, prac ticing gender-based discrimina tion and heterosexism Like many females, or I should probably say birthing humans or persons of ovum, Carole started out in 1966 riding a horse penning back cattle at the West ern Stockman’s Market north of Bakersfield, California. Needless to say, this is a highly skilled job that requires a good horse and a good rider. It’s not a job for little girls riding bareback. Shame on me, there I go again, by refer ring to the size of the horseback riders, I am in the wrong for engaging in sizeism

I love this “Fall...Thequote:timewhen every thing bursts with its last beauty. As if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.”
I n this mediation, I’m going to return to our study of the life of Moses. In past stud ies the nation of Israel has been delivered from Egyptian slavery and has traveled from Egypt to Mt. Sinai. Moses had gone up on the mountain to converse with God and remained there for an extended time (Exodus 32:1). In response to this delay, the people encouraged Aaron to do a very irrational sin and make an idol. The reason for making an idol was the people wanted to replace Moses as their leader with a false god of the Egyptians. The false god was Apis, who was a deity as the bull god. This is why Aaron made a golden calf (Exodus 32:2-4). Then the Israelites did a very foolish and irrational thing. They proclaimed that this Egyptian deity was the person that delivered them from slav ery. Then they worshipped the idol and offered sacrifices to it (Exodus 32:5-6). To commit idolatry and worship a false god wasTheabsurd.Lord Jehovah responded to this very sinful action with wrath and desired to abolish the nation and make a new nation with Moses as its leader. This reveals the seriousness of the sin of idol atry (Exodus 32:7-10). Moses prayed to the Lord and asked Him to be merciful and forgiving based on the promises the Lord had made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the covenant given to Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3). Moses’ prayer delivered the people from destruction. The intercession of Moses again prevented the nation of Israel from being severely disciplined (Exodus 32:11-14). When Moses came down from the mountain with Joshua and saw the idol and the people behaving immorally, he became very angry (Exodus 32:15-19). He ground the idol to powder and mixed it with water and made the people drink it. Then Moses confronted Aaron and asked him why he committed such a great sin. Aaron made the excuse that the people forced him to make the idol. Moses then had 3,000 men executed for their sin (Exodus 32:20-28). Then Moses confronted the entire nation with their great sin and told them that he had asked God to forgive them. However, the Lord told Moses that in the future He would punish whoever sinned against Him (Exodus 32:30-35). This episode in Israel’s history reveals that idolatry is a very serious sin against God. Idola try is committed when a person attempts to either replace the true God with a false deity or gives priority to a person, thing or desire ahead of God. God is to have pre-eminence in every desire, goal and deed in a believ er’s life. The apostle John gives us the command: “Little children, keep yourselves form idols.” 1 John 5:21. Lessons to Be Learned 1. Committing idolatry is a serious sin against God. 2. Praying for other people living in sin is important and helpful.3.There will always be harmful consequences for committing ins: We will reap what we sow: Gala tians 6:7-8.

Last Friday evening, we attended the “cruise” on El Camino Real in Atascadero. My husband and I agreed that it was by far the best oneCongratulationsyet! to Terrie Banish and her team for their organizational skills in putting on events like that. It was a treat for us to be able to see such beau tiful, classic vehicles parading El Camino Real. We did not make it out to the Mid-State Cruizers Car Show at Atascadero Lake Park, but from all reports, it was a huge success, as was the evening event, “Danc ing in the Streets” in downtown Atascadero.Itwasaweekend that was alive and well here in Atascadero. We’re reaching the end of our summer Concerts in the Park series and the Movies in the Gardens events this weekend. Mark your calendars for Satur day, Aug. 27. The concert starts at 6:30 p.m., and the movie begins at 8 p.m. I am dedicating this week’s recipes to two of our graphic designers who work at the Atascadero News. They do the layout for the paper and the magazines. I am always impressed with the designs they come up with for my columns. So, here’s a “shout out” to Neil Schumaker and Evan Rodda. They say that they and some of their family members try the recipes. I think many of our read ers will want to try this recipe for an apple-pecan pie bar! Remember, we are getting ready for fall, so put this recipe on your list.

In my 50 years in the business, rarely have I seen a man as a clerk on the auction block. In my opinion, this is because to be a good clerk you can’t let your mind wander for a second and obviously, this is a trait not usually associated with men. Clerking comes naturally to women. Go to any bull sale, and you’ll see wives writing prices down for no apparent reason. In all the years of watching Carole on the block, I never saw her have to ask the auctioneer to repeat a price. Women are just better at clerking than men, and I say this knowing it’s ableism I think I’ve only seen one male clerk at a weekly auction in my life, and it was at a weekly dairy sale and the clerk was the owner of the market, an old Portu guese ex-dairyman who was too cheap to hire a clerk, so he did it himself. Oh no, I just breached the worst ism of all in mention ing that the owner was Portu guese and therefore I’m culpable for committing racism I may be opening myself up to criticism because I have mostly traveled in the West and I don’t know if male clerks are more prevalent in the East. If so I apologize for my regionalism I swear I’m not trying to be a misogynist, nor am I engaging in social oppression, when I brag on the female auction clerks I’ve known. But think about it, a lot of the pen back riders, weigh masters, help in the front office and on the auction block are all female. Two jobs the ladies have not broken into yet at the auction are ring men and auctioneering. I don’t know why this is but I have a sneaky suspicion it’s classism Carole has clerked for five different World Champion auctioneers and they were all men! To my knowledge there’s never been a female in the top ten at the World Livestock Auctioneer Championship. In fact, I don’t know if there’s ever been a female ever enter the contest. You’d think there would have been at least one female contestant but upon further reflection I just realized that would be tokenism To celebrate her long career Carole wrote a neat little essay titled “Long Ride” about her career and the people she was fortunate to work with. Since I took some of my information for this column from her essay I may be guilty of plagiarism. If so, I apologize. But you can see how difficult it is to be a politically correct writer these days without violating any of the isms plaguing ourAllsociety.Iwanted to do was write a simple little essay congratulating Carole for her long and distin guished career and to say how much her friendship has meant to me. You Go, Girl! Oh no, I’m consciencestricken thinking I may have just engaged in sexism. How insensi tive of me! On the other hand, don’t you think all this ism business is just a bunch of stupidism?

“Meditation in motion” is a phrase that’s often used to describe tai chi. For seniors, the focused, low-impact movements can help clear the mind, just like meditation. Older adults can also experience many other benefits from this type of exercise, including increased strength, improved mobility, better flexibility, and stronger immunity.Oneofthe best things about tai chi is that you can experi ence all of these health perks without a large investment in special equipment. Plus, you don’t need to have excellent coordination or strength to get started. You can even practice the movements in a chair. That adaptability is one reason why this practice is good exercise for seniors who may have physical limitations.Theinformation below will help you understand the central principles of this discipline, how it developed, and how it differs from yoga. You’ll learn about the many benefits of tai chi for seniors and get tips on how to get started and how to prepare for tai chi classes. Plus, you’ll explore books, DVDs, videos, and apps that make it possible for you to practice at home. What Is Tai Chi? Tai chi is an “internal” martial art that originated in China centuries ago. It’s considered internal because the focus is on developing mental or spiritual strength instead of defeating an opponent through physical strength.Thebasic principles originate in the ancient Chinese philos ophy of Taoism. Under the tenets of Taoism, everything is composed of two opposing (but complementary) elements: yin and yang. Yin elements are considered to be feminine, soft, and yielding Yang elements are consid ered to be masculine, hard, and Accordingrigid to Taoism, in order to achieve a peaceful and long life, we need to balance these sides within ourselves. The movements are designed to help you achieve this equilib rium between yin and yang. In other words, the “point” of tai chi is to restore balance in your body and your mind. But if that explanation is a bit too esoteric for you, don’t worry. In simpler terms, the gentle movements and focus on breathing can help you relax, get some light exercise, and develop body awareness. In that sense, the discipline is like yoga. But the main differ ence between yoga and tai chi is that the latter exercise is based in movement and doesn’t involve holding static poses. So, many people find that tai chi is better than yoga for seniors who can’t stay in one position for very long. But when it comes to deter mining which is best, yoga or tai chi, the choice ultimately depends on your personal pref erences. And if you’re not sure which activity you should try, it might also depend on whether you can find a good class. (Each discipline is best learned under a properly trained instructor.) But keep in mind that many seniors enjoy both activities. A brief history The origins of tai chi are a bit hazy, and it’s difficult to sepa rate what actually happened from what has been passed down as legend. But one thing is certain: This activity (also known as tai chi chuan) began as a martial art in China many centuries ago. (The term tai chi translates to “supreme ultimate,” while “chuan” means “fist.”) The origins are often credited to a 13th-century monk named Zhang Sanfeng. According to lore, he was inspired to develop the discipline after watching a fight between a crane and a snake.Today, few people practice this martial art as a form of self-defense. (Because of its gentle nature, it takes carefully cultivated self-control to use it as an effective form of combat.)

Instead, most people practice it for the mental and physical health benefits. Styles of Tai Chi The styles are named after the Chinese families from which they originated (sometimes referred to as a style’s “lineage.”) Four of the main styles are: • Chen: The oldest style, which is more intense and focused on self-defense than many other styles Sun: The newest style, which involves a higher stance and smooth, graceful movements

As the activity has grown in popularity, different variations have developed. For example, Tai Chi Chih originated in California during the 1970s. It’s a simplified form that is suitable for many Anotherseniors.variation is sitting tai chi. It’s an excellent option for seniors who can’t stand or who are at high risk for falls. It offers many of the same benefits as doing the movements while standing. The Basics of Doing Tai Chi Tai chi is not difficult physi cally. No matter what type you do, the movements are slow and deliberate. One motion always flows into the next. In fact, it can feel a bit like dancing. A choreographed series of movements (also known as postures) is called a form or a set. Each set has a certain number of postures, and a set usually starts with postures that are intended as a warmup. The number of postures in a set depends on the style. Tai chi movements involve shifting your weight from one foot to another. (This is one reason why tai chi is good for balance.) All of the move ments are designed to create an awareness of how your feet are connected to the earth. Throughout a set, you are often slightly crouched, with your knees flexed. This posture helps to strengthen your glute and leg muscles, which are important muscles for balance. It’s also important to keep your back as straight possible. (Some teachers suggest envi sioning your spine as a “neck lace of pearls hanging from heaven.”) Over time, this postural awareness can help improve your posture in every day life. The Benefits of Tai Chi This is a whole-body exer cise—and that includes your mind. As a result, it offers an astonishing number of phys ical and mental benefits. Tai chi is good for seniors because it can increase both your lifes pan, which is how long you live, and your “health span,” which is how long you can function independently.Infact,when it comes to overall lifespan, a study in the American Journal of Epidemiol ogy found that this activity can reduce mortality, much like jogging. (For many seniors, it is a much more appealing activity thanHerejogging.)aresome of the many ways in which tai chi can improve your quality of life and reduce the negative effects of the aging process. (But bear in mind that you should always check with your healthcare provider before beginning any new exercise routine.) Lower risk of falling Relief from arthritis and various types of pain Weight loss Improved cardiovascular health Better sleep Enhanced posture Improved immunity Reduced anxiety and depression Cognitive benefits Social Discussionsbenefitsabout the many health benefits of tai chi often miss one crucial element: It’s fun. After all, for seniors, engag ing in fun activities carries its ownEvenrewards.ifyou can’t find a good class and have to practice on your own, the increased self-confi dence you get can improve your ability to make friends.
