Controversial arrest sparks debate over use of force by APD

COUNTY

Supervisors vote to extend shelter crisis declaration to December 2024

Video of arrest raises questions about policing methods amid mental health and substance abuse concerns

County moves forward with action plan on affordable housing, homelessness, and community development

By CAMILLE DEVAUL camille@atascaderonews.com

ATASCADERO — A recent video circulating on social media has spurred conversation amongst the public regarding methods used during an arrest made by the Atascadero Police Department.

On Saturday, Dec. 9, the Atascadero Police Department (APD) responded to a call on the 2200 block of El Camino Real. In the video circulating social media, it begins with the suspect on the ground, held down by three officers. One officer then uses additional force to punch the suspect in the face while trying to handcuff him.

The suspect is identified as Anthony Cagnina, 28, of Atascadero. Cagnina, who grew up in Atascadero, is known to many as an unhoused individual. He is also known to have struggled with his mental health and substance abuse.

The Arrest Atascadero News sat with acting Chief of Police Joe Allen, who gave the department’s perspective and reasons for the course of actions taken during the arrest.

Due to pending litigation, body cam footage is unavailable to the public as it is active evidence. Therefore, Chief Allen related the incident from beginning to end for Atascadero News.

According to Chief Allen, on the day of the arrest, two officers were called to the business (Big Lots) by an employee who asked officers to remove Cagnina. The employee stated that Cagnina had stolen goods from the store on a previous occasion.

Officers knew Cagnina from previous encounters. He currently has seven warrants out for his arrest, many of which involve resisting officers. He has failed to appear in court for those warrants.

Cagnina who had a cart and backpack full of goods refused to listen to officers when they asked him to empty his backpack. Chief Allen explained that officers wanted Cagnina to empty the backpack inside CONTINUED ON PAGE A7

CITY

City Council welcomes new city attorney and police chief Council goes forward with a working document for a 2024 Federal and State Legislative Platform

By CHRISTIANNA MARKS christianna@atascaderonews.com

ATASCADERO — The Atascadero City Council met for their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 12, at 6 p.m. The hybrid meeting was held in the City Council Chambers.

The agenda for the evening was passed unanimously.

At the beginning of the meeting, City Manager Jim Lewis introduced two new members to the Atascadero City team: the new city attorney and the new chief of police.

“I am thrilled with the new members of our team. Critical positions, a city attorney and a police chief,” stated Lewis.

David Fleishman of Richards, Watson & Gershon will be stepping into the role of City Attorney. He previously had a law firm in Atascadero and raised his children in the school district.

“Having a local attorney, we’re very grateful the council selected a person who understands Atascadero, loves Atascadero, and has an office in San Luis Obispo, which is

tremendous,” added Lewis.

Fleishman has served over 40 agencies in California and specializes in general law and advising city governments. He is currently the city attorney in Pismo Beach and is retiring from a role as city attorney in Solvang.

“I am glad to be back in the community where I raised my family and where I had my law firm for many years,” Fleishman said. “I’m glad to be part of the Atascadero community again.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve the city. I hope I will be

able to live up to the task that you have assigned me.”

Next, Lewis introduced new Atascadero Police Chief Daniel B. Suttles. Suttles will take over the role after over a year of interim police chiefs holding the position, most recently retired chief Joe Allen. Suttles will officially take the position on Jan. 8, 2024, with a 20-year career in law enforcement under his belt.

His most recent position was Chief of Police for Bear Valley Police Department near Tehachapi. Before that, he worked for the Glendale

Police Department as a patrol officer, S.W.A.T. in the Field Services Division, detective in the Investigative Services Division, Sergeant of the Patrol Bureau, Financial Crimes Unit, and Internal Affairs, and then got his tenure as Lieutenant — Patrol Commander.

“Prior to that, he served our country valiantly; perhaps he’ll tell you that story sometime in the United States Marine Corps for eight years. He learned a lot about leadership, courage, and service,” added Lewis.

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — During their regularly scheduled meeting on Dec. 12, the San Luis Obispo County supervisors voted to extend the county’s shelter crisis declaration ordinance through Dec. 31, 2024.

“The proposed ordinance and update of the building and life and safety standards would remain in place in our county until Dec. 31, 2024,” said Homeless Services Division administrative services manager Laurel Weir. “The current ordinance and safety standards are set to expire on Dec. 31, 2023. Extention of the ordinance and safety standards will ensure the county can continue to move forward to increase the number of emergency shelter beds in the county due to the creation of non-congregant shelters and tiny home villages when developed on public facilities.

“The adoption of the ordinance facilitates the opportunity to create a more streamlined process for the creation of these and accelerates the development (on county-owned land).”

The ordinance passed unanimously.

Homeless Services Division Program Manager Marge Castle gave the supervisors a presentation on the annual action plan for SLO County in 2024 in regards to how the urban county will allocate federal grant funds — including community development block grants, home investment partnerships, and the emergency solutions grant that addresses the urban county’s housing, homelessness, and community development needs.

The plan will be sent to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. It is required that county staff gather public input about the county’s needs.

“Today’s hearing is required by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development,” Castle said. “The purpose of this hearing is to give the public an opportunity to express their views on both the needs of the community and the use of federal funds.

Public input will be considered CONTINUED ON PAGE A7

Ballot initiative seeks voter approval to pass new taxes New measure would require all new taxes passed by the California Legislature be approved by voters

BY CHRISTINE SOUZA CALIFORNIA FARM BUREAU FEDERATION

CALIFORNIA — California farmers and ranchers heard a presentation earlier this month on a November 2024 ballot initiative that would give voters the final decision on approving new local and state taxes.

In a Dec. 4 workshop at the California Farm Bureau Annual Meeting in Reno, Nevada, farmers and ranchers packed a meeting room to hear about the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act. The initiative is backed by the California Farm Bureau, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, the California Business Roundtable, the California Business Properties Association, along with a coaliton of other supporters.

Supporters of the initiative say it would build on the legacy of Proposition 13, a landmark 1978 initiative that capped property taxes at 1 percent of assessed value, set limits on annual increases and required two-thirds votes to introduce new taxes.

The new measure would require all new

taxes passed by the California Legislature be approved by voters and would reaffirm a two-thirds voter approval for all new local special tax increases. It would also define what is a tax or fee, mandate accurate descriptions of new tax proposals and require politicians to identify how revenue will be spent before any tax or fee is enacted.

Steven Fenaroli, California Farm Bureau’s political affairs director, said the initiative would amend the California Constitution to guard against potentially conflicting court rulings from disputed interpretations of constitutional language.

“If you leave here with one thing, it is that the Taxpayer Protection Act in 2024 gives you the right to vote on all future tax increases,” Fenaroli said. “This is about restoring your rights as voters and making sure that farmers and ranchers continue to have their voices heard, and that we don’t let folks and unelected bureaucrats just continue to raise taxes and fees on us.”

Fenaroli said the measure is a continuation of work by the California Farm Bureau that helped defeat Proposition 15, a “splitroll” property tax initiative that farmers and ranchers argued would be damaging to their livelihood. That initiative was voted down in 2020 after drawing early, vigorous opposition

from the California Farm Bureau and other agricultural organizations.

“The crux of the problem is we already have the highest personal income tax and state sales tax and gas tax, and everything keeps going up. Taxes and fees just keep going higher and higher,” Fenaroli said. “In this last legislative session, the California Legislature proposed more than $200 billion in new taxes and fees.”

Ben Granholm, a representative for the initiative campaign, said the measure is a reaction to tax increases that provide few, if any, returns for Californians.

“All of these taxes and fees that are continuously being raised on farmers and ranchers and on our everyday residents, are going to these critical issues, but we’re not seeing the benefits,” Granholm said.

Fenaroli told attendees the Taxpayer Protection Act holds government officials accountable.

“This restores accountability and makes sure that those who have unchecked authority are held accountable and that fees actually represent the services that are being provided,” he said. “We always hear the money is for roads, bridges, schools, firefighters or cops. But how many times do we see it go into the general fund for another use? This measure ends this whole bait-and- switch that we have with

CRIME

California Highway Patrol increases retail crime operations by over 310 percent The agency recovered 187,515 items stolen from retailers, surpassing last year’s figure by 38,600 items

• Proactive Operations: 215 (313 percent increase compared to 2022) • Investigations: 528 (47 percent increase compared to 2022) • Arrests: 1,005 (109 percent increase compared to 2022) • Stolen Items Recovered: 187,515 (25 percent increase compared to 2022)

STAFF REPORT

CALIFORNIA — Governor Gavin Newsom has announced that the California Highway Patrol (CHP) is concluding 2023 by successfully expanding its efforts to combat organized retail crime.

The CHP, through its Organized Retail Crime Task Force (ORCTF), has exhibited results, aligning with Newsom’s Real Public Safety Plan.

As part of the plan, implemented to address the rising challenge of organized retail crime nationwide, the CHP, in the first 11 months of 2023, increased proactive operations by over 310 percent, leading to more than 1,000 arrests, marking a 109 percent year-over-year increase.

Furthermore, the agency recovered 187,515 items stolen from retailers, surpassing last year’s figure by 38,600 items.

Newsom expressed his gratitude for the efforts of the CHP and its collaborative partners, stating, “As reports of organized retail crime increase nationally, California is meeting the moment by leading more takedowns and making more

arrests than ever before. I’m grateful for the CHP — along with our critical police, sheriff, and district attorney partners — for their continued efforts to leverage the state’s tools and unprecedented resources to crack down on this unacceptable crime.”

CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee emphasized the collaborative nature of the efforts, saying, “Working with our local law enforcement partners, and utilizing the CHP’s extensive statewide resources, we are cracking down and stopping organized retail crime. These early results, which are a team effort, show California is headed in the right direction.”

Key highlights from the data for the first 11 months of 2023 include:

In addition to its regular operations, Ne wsom pre viousl y announced a “holiday blitz,” increasing law enforcement presence in key retail districts across California through proactive and confidential operations during the holidays.

Since 2019, the CHP has led over 1,225 investigations resulting in the arrests of more than 1,800 suspects and the recovery of nearly 500,000 stolen retail merchandise items valued at over $21 million. In a significant move to support local efforts, Newsom allocated over $267 million to 55 cities and counties, marking the largest-ever single investment to combat organized retail crime in California history.

Newsom’s Real Public Safety Plan, backed by California’s 202324 budget, allocates over $800 million to support various programs aimed at improving public safety and cracking down on retail crime.

taxes and increases transparency.”

During the meeting, presenters told farmers that the measure strengthens Proposition 13 protections by guaranteeing that local property tax revenues remain in the county where they are collected and prohibits a “split rate” property tax by eliminating the ability to add surcharges to all properties above the limits set by Proposition 13.

While still allowing local governments to raise money, Fenaroli said, the measure includes a “legally enforceable” provision that the county or city has to identify the use of the proposed tax funds.

Campaign officials said they have conducted surveys that revealed the measure has strong prospects for passage. They note that voters facing inflation and mounting cost-of-living increases may be receptive to an initiative — 46 years after Proposition 13 — that gives California residents a voice on whether to accept new taxes.

“This is very winnable,” Granholm said.

“People don’t necessarily oppose raising taxes.

Their problem is when that tax money isn’t going to where it was promised, so it’s those things that irritate the voters about where their tax money is going.”

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY EEOC sues Meathead Movers for age discrimination In September, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed suit against the San Luis Obispo moving company Meathead Movers, Inc., the largest independent moving company in California, for refusing to hire people based on age.

The EEOC’s lawsuit charges that since at least 2017, Meathead Movers failed to recruit and hire applicants over 40 into moving, packing, and customer service positions. Meathead maintains a pattern or practice of recruiting and hiring young college students, intentionally excluding older workers regardless of their individual abilities, the EEOC complaint continues.

Such alleged conduct violates the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), which prohibits discrimination based on age. The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. Meathead Movers, Inc., Case No.: 2:23cv-08177) in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.

“Excluding older workers based on their age for marketing purposes is unlawful,” said Anna Park, regional attorney for the Los Angeles District Office. “Employers should remember that setting criteria and recruiting based on a person’s age violates federal law.”

Los Angeles District Director Christine Park-Gonzalez said, “The incorrect and unfair assumptions that someone cannot perform a job because of their age — or that clients would prefer younger workers — are the impetus behind the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The EEOC will continue to ensure an even playing field for applicants and employees in the workplace.”

Florentino Marcelino Ramonsantiago receives 25 years to life sentence District Attorney Dan Dow has announced the sentencing of Florentino Marcelino Ramonsantiago, 30, to 25 years to life in prison. The verdict follows a jury finding Ramonsantiago guilty of forcible rape causing great bodily injury.

During the nine-day trial, jurors were presented with evidence of Ramonsantiago’s violent assault on a 17-year-old victim that occurred on April 29, 2021, at a residence in Nipomo. The jury not only convicted Ramonsantiago of forcible rape but also affirmed the special allegation that he personally inflicted great bodily injury during the assault. This particular allegation was rooted in the fact that the assault resulted in the pregnancy of the victim.

Deputy District Attorney Kristin Barnard, assigned to the District Attorney’s Sexual Assault Prosecution Unit, commented on the case, stating, “The violence and trauma suffered by the young survivor is what one would see in a horror movie. The sheer courage it took for this young lady to report and later detail this crime to a jury is remarkable. We are thankful to the jury for their focused attention in this very emotional and raw case and acknowledge the impact it has had on them as individuals.”

The investigation was conducted by the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s Office, with the District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation providing assistance throughout the case.

ELLA G. NELSON 1923-2023

E

lla Genece Nelson passed away on December 11, 2023.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ronald Earl Nelson. She is survived by her son, Rolfe (his wife Christine), and her daughter, Jenell. She is also survived by four grandchildren: Julie Nelson Davis ( Joe Davis-great grandchildren Corrinne and Sean) and Christopher Nelson (Tarygreat grandchildren Ryder and Orion). Other grandchildren

THEODORE D. MARCHAND 1942-2023

T

heodore Dieterich Marchand, of Atascadero, died peacefully in his sleep on November 29, 2023, in the house he built himself. Born in 1942 in Port Angeles, Washington, Ted grew up first in Sioux City, Iowa, and later in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

are Scott Hallett (great-grandchildren Kayla and Preston) and Brian Hallett (Crystal-great grandchildren Mattix and Taylen) Ella Genece Hesketh was born on August 1, 1923, in St. John, North Dakota (County of Rolette), 7 miles from the Canadian Border. Her father was Rolfe Hesketh, who owned a general store and managed the post office and drug store.

Her mother was Ethel Edna Mc Pherson, a school teacher.

Her siblings were Majorie May, Rolfe “Harris,” and Roger George, and they all attended Elementary and High School in St. John.

After graduating high school, Ella went to Devil’s Lake and worked for a doctor and his wife. She helped with house duties and lived with the local sheriff and roomed with his daughter. Eventually, she moved in with her Aunt Jean in St. Paul. Ella went to Business

College but eventually returned to Bismarck and worked at the Capital in an office for Poultry Improvement.

Ronald Nelson and his brother, Carl, served in the Navy. Both brothers came home on leave, and that is when Ella met Ronald at a dance on her 21st Birthday. The romance continued when Ella was invited to a party at the Nelson Farm in Cole Harbor. Ronald returned to his ship shortly after the party, and then they communicated through letters.

The family wishes that we had come into possession of some of those letters.

After the war, Ronald went to live in California and got a job in Pasadena while waiting for employment with the California Highway Patrol. Ella’s father died around the same time, and she moved to California to be closer to Ronald and relatives. She arrived in California on July 4, 1946.

Ella and Ronald were married on November 8, 1946, at the Huntington Park Methodist Church.

Ella began working for her Uncle Harry in a delivery business, but when Rolfe Douglas was born, she quit her job. Jenell Gail Nelson was born three years later, on April 12, 1951, and the family was complete.

Ronald worked several jobs because, as new parents, they believed that Ella should stay home to raise the children. Once the family arrived in Atascadero, around 1952, Ronald continued to work other jobs in addition to being a California Highway Patrolman.

Ella stayed busy in addition to being a stay-at-home Mom. She was involved in PTA, was a Cub Scout Den Mother, and belonged to the Women’s Club, Emblem Club, and Republican Women’s. In 1966, Ella started working at Cal Poly. She supervised the student dining room,

and then, when Ronald was transferred to Taft in 1967, she worked at the cafeteria at Taft High School. The family moved several times when Ronald received promotions as a CHP, including Yreka, San Luis Obispo, back to Atascadero, Taft, Buellton, and then back to Atascadero, where Ella resumed her work at Cal Poly.

Ronald was a WWII Vet, a Pearl Harbor survivor, and a Highway Patrolman who worked his way up to a Lieutenant and was famous for being on the scene when James Dean died in a car accident. He was also the Grand Marshall of Colony Days. The family thinks of him as a Rock Star, but Ella was the rock and the foundation of the family. Ella ran the household and took care of Jenell, Rolfe, and everything else. Ella was a gardener who planted and harvested her vegetable garden. She canned vegetables and made rhubarb

pies. With the help of her children, they took care of the small Nelson “farm” that consisted of chickens, turkeys, cattle, horses, sheep, lamas, dogs, and cats.

She was talented at sewing and cooking. She was a fabulous mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

When Ronald passed away in 2012, Ella continued running the household until she moved into Ingleside Assisted Living by the Lake in September 2019. During the Covid lockdown, she moved again into Park Place Assisted Living on December 9, 2020. Ella passed away peacefully in her sleep on December 11, 2023, 100 years, four months and eleven days young. Although saddened by the loss, her family and friends will continue to be ambassadors for the love and compassion that she gave to everyone, for her generosity, for her sense of humor, and for her strength of character.

While Ted was serving in the Navy, his parents, Dorothy and Carroll Marchand, moved to Atascadero, and after finishing his enlistment, Ted hitchhiked across the country to join them. Ted met the love of his life, Martha, at a pool party in Morro Bay. They married in 1967, and by 1968, they had their first of seven children. Shortly after the baby arrived, they purchased a lot in Atascadero and began to build the house.

Working as a psychiatric technician at Atascadero State Hospital on the night shift while attending Cal Poly during the day, Ted somehow found the time to read books on construction borrowed from the library and work on the house. Using wood he

salvaged from an old army mess hall at Camp San Luis Obispo and occasionally enlisting the help of his neighbor George Ashbaugh, his father-in-law Milton Baer, and others, Ted built the house out of what they had in their pockets. His librarian mother-in-law, Ellen, proudly remarked that Ted was the only person she knew who used the library to build a house. Ted became a licensed general contractor, designing and building two other homes, among other projects, before making a career as a union carpenter. With his ability to read complex blueprints and solve problems, he developed a reputation as one of the most valuable carpenters on big jobs throughout the Central Coast. Over time, construc-

tion companies would ask for Ted by name, and he almost never missed a day of work.

Sometimes, his kids would meet someone who worked with him, and they invariably spoke of Ted with a mixture of awe and respect.

Ted loved tools, books, and “junk stores,” and he would proudly display various items of high value that he found for next to nothing at a junk store that “didn’t know what they had.” He also loved the water, whether free diving for lobster and abalone in his younger years or swimming in Dinkey Creek, where he would use his mask and snorkel to scavenge the creek bed for lost fishing tackle and other treasures. Most of all, he loved and was proud of his family

and was supportive of all of their endeavors. In retirement, he helped his daughter Stephanie build her first home, working side by side with her for a year. He was a fierce advocate for his family and for fairness in the world.

Ted was predeceased by his sister, Julie Small, nephew, Gabe Small, and granddaughter, Eadie Bravante. He is survived by his seven children, Kristie Dart, Vince Marchand, Justin Marchand, Katie Bravante, Stephanie Lukasik, Maggie Donegan, and Teddie Purdin, their mother Martha, their spouses, and 14 grandchildren, as well as his sister Cherie Starr and brother Chris Marchand.

A celebration of his life will take place at 3:00 p.m. on Janu-

ary 20, 2024, in the Fellowship Hall of the Community Church of Atascadero, 5850 Rosario Ave, Atascadero, California.

The Nutcracker performance was a favorite of the day, according to Miss Congeniality Shirley Horzen of San Luis Obispo.

“I think they did a good job. You can see that they have practiced it,”

Seventeen people from the community interviewed Suttles over the course of a day, and it was unanimous that Suttles should be the one to take on the chief of police position.

“Mayor, City Council, thank you very much for having the confidence in me to choose me to come and take on this challenge,” Suttles said. “Thank you very much for that. I also wanted to say that the process of hiring can be very stressful, but the professionalism of the staff was extremely welcoming.

ARREST

Horzen said. “Even if the music cuts out or it malfunctions, they held it together. They did a great job.”

Since their crowning, the court has been attending community events. The holidays have kept the team busy and they are handling it all exceptionally well.

“It’s a lot of work but it’s a lot of fun. I don’t think I ever get tired of doing it,” said First Runner-Up Jenna Wilshusen of Paso Robles.

I already feel like I’m part of the team, and that’s really nice to step into.

“I’m excited that I get to join a team that is so well established and a team that’s worked so hard for the reputation that they have. I think that my job is just to help foster and create an environment that allows great people to do great things.”

The meeting then went into a Legislative Update on the 2024 Federal and State Legislative Platform. Jason Gonsalves gave the update. He stated that there is a projected $68 billion deficit for California. Jim Lewis then took

tive, and more officers were called to assist in the arrest.

Chief Allen explains officers mind set at the time which were concerned if Cagnina’s state of mind or if he had any weapons he was trying to reach. Cagnina did at one point during the wrestling get a hold of one of the taser “darts.”

While officers were still trying to obtain Cagnina’s arm behind his back, officers repeatedly tried to verbally get Cagnina to comply. One officer warned Cagnina three times (which can be heard on the circulating video), that if he did not begin to comply he would “punch” him.

D ue to another individual harassing officers at the scene, they brought Cagnina to the APD to receive his medical treatment.

Cagnina has since been booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail and is being held for Resisting An Executive Officer [69PC], and Posses-

the store to avoid having to arrest him for theft if the goods were to leave the store building.

However, acording to Chief Allen, Cagnina refused to comply and to avoid officers swung his backpack towards one officer who intercepted the bag. The two ended up on the ground, and a wrestling scene was activated.

Chief Allen explains how officers are taught to use their body weight to hold suspects while trying to handcuff them. He says it is done for the safety of the officers and the suspect. During the wrestling match, the other officer used his taser, which ineffectively worked to incapacitate Cagnina, who stands at 6 feet and 6 inches and 190 pounds according to his arrest record on slosheriff.org/jail-information/whos-incustody/.

A second “dry stun” was also ineffec-

Members of the community were able to give their input through an online survey, two virtual workshops held in October of this year, and the public meeting at the Dec. 12

over the presentation after Gonsalves left. Lewis shared with the council his reason for presenting a Federal and State Legislative Platform. Those reasons being: It’s a transparent document telling residents what the council is fighting for at the state and local levels.

It ’s a tool for lobbyist Gonsalves to have when having conversations in Sacramento.

It gives the council members a chance to weigh in on the legislative platform.

It also includes information from city staff to keep the council aware of what they’re moni-

sion Of Unlawful Paraphernalia [11364(A)H&S] along with charges from seven other arrest warrants.

The Response “We are trying to do the right thing,” says Chief Allen in defense of his officers.

Following the arrest and footage of the bystander video on social media, an internal investigation was launched. According to Chief Allen, the arrest and use of force complied with the department ’s, city, and state’s policies. Therefore, it also did not meet criteria for an external investigation.

“We have gone full circle on this. Absolutely, if our officer did something outside the lines, we are going to deal with it administratively,” adds Allen.

As for the department’s history and interactions with Cagnina, most of the officers are familiar with him. While he does not have any medical records to their knowledge

supervisor’s meeting.

A survey for public comment was launched from Oct. 6 through Nov. 5. During that time, 348 people from all over the county responded to the survey. Ninety-four percent of the responses came from community members directly, while local government reps and non-profit

Wilshusen grew up coming to the Teddy Bear Tea with her family.

“It’s definitely an eye opener to see how much work went into it because, as a kid, we just showed up in a pretty dress,” she explains. “To be here to help set up and see how much went into it was cool, and I feel a little sentimental now that a few years later, I get to be on the other side. I’m having a lot of fun with my friends today.”

It was the first time at the tea

confirming his diagnosis, they are certain he has troubles with a mental illness and verified trouble with substance abuse.

Chief Allen showed Atascadero News a public court document from Cagnina’s appointed attorney who states he “has doubts to the suspects mental competence.”

Which leads Chief Allen to address a larger problem in our community — and that is getting people proper mental health help and treatment.

Officers within the department receive regular training on handling suspects who suffer from mental illness. “ Trends change.

Our homeless population is obviously larger now. So, going and arresting our homeless population isn’t working. That’s ineffective,” said Chief Allen.

He further explains that each individual is their own “ball of wax,” meaning different addictions, different illnesses —

organizations brought in the rest.

“Fifty-seven percent (of the survey takers) own their own residents, 41 percent rent their residents, and 2 percent have other living arrangements,” said Castle.

She also stated that 61 percenet of the residents surveyed spend 30 percent

“This is my first time coming. My favorite part is seeing all the excited boys and girls having a great time,” said Jensen.

toring and concerned about.

It allows the city to act quicker at times than they would through the normal legislative process.

After the council discussed the document presented, it was decided that the Federal and State Legislative Platform would be used as a working document with additions made next year. The motion passed unanimously.

The meeting then went into a Public Hearing on the 2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Draft Recommendations given by Public Works Director Nick DeBar. “Tonight, we’re going to different lives.

In response, the department has developed an outreach team with behavior specialists, a psych technician, and a volunteer from the El Camino Homeless O rganization (ECHO).

The team works with unhoused individuals in Atascadero to get them treatment and hopefully off the streets and into homes.

I n re g a rd s t o Cagnina, Chief Allen says, “He’s not clearly thinking, and it ’s sad because at some point in time if he is not treated and he doesn’t go someplace where he is going to get well, it’s going to go bad again.”

The police chief also adds concern for the public’s safety if someone were to encounter Cagnina dur ing a manic episode.

He adds, “I am hopeful that with this attorney, he gets what he needs. I don’t think he needs to be incarcerated. He needs help.”

of their gross monthly income on housing. She also mentioned that 40 percent of those surveyed have not looked for housing since 2020 and that 85 percent had trouble finding housing when they looked.

In that section of the survey, 157 residents stated these reasons for difficulty finding housing:

cookies were served for each of the guests. It takes much time and dedication from volunteers to make the event happen.

Santa and Mrs. Claus, plus the Snow King and Queen, were available at the tea for photo opportunities, followed by a live recital of “Ten Little Angels” on guitar by Nick Breton.

review the applications that were received for Atascadero’s share of the CDBG,” said DeBar. “The CDBG for community development activities must meet at least one of three national objectives. Benefit low to moderate income persons, aid in the prevention or elimination of blight, and also address urgent needs that pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community.”

It is estimated that Atascadero will be allocated $134,205 for their CDBG. In the Public Facilities and Housing Projects category, $87,233 was allocated

bystander video, Chief Allen says its unfortunate the public is only able to view a small window of the incident at this time.

“I wish the public could understand our perspective. We did not want to fight with Anthony Cagnina that day. They [the officers] did not,” said Chief Allen.

He adds, “Our officers did what they had to do that day. As ugly as it may have looked, they did what they had to do that day to take him into custody with the least amount of force.”

Who is Anthony Cagnina Atascadero News spoke with Cagnina’s father, Michael and stepmother Maria about their son’s arrest and who he is to them.

Michael explains his son lives a homeless lifestyle, coming to his home for showers and to clean up.

Michael says Cagnina often can be found near the riverbed.

“I’ve never known him to be aggressive.

Respondents said they wanted the main focus to be on creating affordable

In the Public Services category, $7,631 was allocated to the El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO), and $12,500 will go to the City of Atascadero’s Youth Activity Scholarships. Funding going to the Administration (20% of the CDBG max) is $17,447 to the SLO County Program Administration and $9,394 to the City of Atascadero Program Administration. The motion passed unanimously.

The next Atascadero City Council meeting will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 9, at 6 p.m.

I’ve knew him to get upset, and I know when he gets upset, he gets belligerent,” says Michael of his son.

Michael, who has been sober and clean for over 20 years, knows his son struggles with substance abuse as well as mental illness.

“The thing is, Tony [Cagnina] has mental health issues, and the police department knows this,” says Michael, who was surprised to see the social media video of Cagnina’s arrest.

He adds, “I’m not saying he is an angel, but this is out of line,” referring to the police force used against his son.

Cagnina is known to be a “teddy bear” in the community.

“He is always polite and respectful around me,” says Maria regarding Cagnina’s behavior towards her.

“I know he has that other side to him, but he never does it to me. My feeling is that when they arrested him, they may have had a good

Wendy Lewis, CEO and president of the El Camino Homeless Organization, addressed the board during public comment on the Action Plan, thanked staff for putting so much effort

reason to arrest him, but when I saw that tape, I thought that officer just needs...it’s just not right.”

Cagnina’s parents stated they are looking into pressing charges against APD for their method in arresting their son.

“I don’t think its okay to do that just because you hold that power,” said Maria who is also looking into filing a complaint with the Department of Justice.

Overall, Michael and Maria find the way the APD handled Cagnina’s arrest was inappropriate and would like to see some retribution.

What happens now Cagnina is currently booked into the San Luis Obispo County Jail. According to the SLO County District Attorney’s office, he is scheduled for a court hearing on Jan. 2 in the Superior Court in SLO.

At the April 9, 2024, meeting, county staff will present the recommendations for the 2024 Action Plan to the Board of Supervisors for approval to submit the action plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Blendfest on the Coast tickets now on sale

The Paso wine event will take place Feb. 22-25, 2024 STAFF REPORT

PASO ROBLES — Tickets are now on sale for Blendfest on the Coast, the only Paso Wine event dedicated to blends. It will take place Feb. 22-25, 2024.

BlendFest on the Coast takes place in Cambria and San Simeon, only a 40-minute drive away from Paso Robles, alongside the Pacific Ocean.

BlendFest features a series of events including a vineyard excursion, a blending seminar, as well as winemaker dinners. The marquee event takes place on the Sundance Lawn at the Oceanpoint Ranch in Cambria, with more than 40 wineries pouring on Saturday, Feb. 24, from 2 to 5 p.m. Partners include Highway One Discovery Route, Visit Cambria, and Visit San Simeon.

A tri-tip lunch is included along with finished wines from the guest wineries, complete with an ocean view.

MARKET

Cambria Christmas Market shines bright with holiday magic on the Central Coast Annual event illuminates Cambria Pines Lodge and Nursery with over 2 million lights

By BLAKE ASHLEY FRINO-GERL

CAMBRIA — Another year for the Cambria Christmas Market at Cambria Pines Lodge and Cambria Nursery has come again. The classic seasonal event on the Central Coast, created by owner Dirk Winter in 2011, keeps its popularity for locals and travelers alike to see, learn, eat, drink and be merry from the end of November to mid-December.

Based on those original openair winter Christmas markets dating back to the 1300s, and held in the town square, known in Germany and Austria as “Weihnachtsmarkt” (in German Weinhnacht is “Christmas” and Markt is “market”). Vendors would sell festive food, drinks and goods, and the town celebrated with traditional song and

dance. These types of markets are now held all over the world to celebrate the Christmas season.

With the business’ strong German ties and love for Christmas, they share that enthusiasm year after year. The market sets the scene for those ready to enjoy and be enamored by the holiday season. All event-goers who came to celebrate the fun, whether for the first time or as their annual kick-off to the holidays, were allowed to be enthralled by the fervor of over 2 million twinkling Christmas lights, with many new features such as lighted 2-dimensional Christmas trees near the rainbow-colored tunnel, as well as animated art of literary classic “A Christmas Carol,” and a section of the consistent Golden Gate Bridge adjusted to serve as decor rather than a walk-on bridge.

Event Coordinator Mike Arnold said that their designer works hard each year to create new displays.

“The Christmas Carol light boxes and the Snow Globe

photo booth have been two of our most popular additions this year,” Arnold said. “We are always looking for ways to expand beyond lights and to bring dimension and movement into our displays.”

The Krampas folkloric figure has changed over the years, and many may have seen their favorite representation come and go, but always present at the Market is the mysterious story of him bringing naughty children coal, bringing imagery to the past traditions and fun in the wondrous holiday season.

The artisan vendors — many local — visits from Santa, fun train ride, cozy fire pits, photo-ops, live music, variety of foods and drinks and so much more is what makes this SLO County event special and true to the nature of many European Christmas markets.

German food and warm Gluhwein are staples, as well as shopping at the nursery’s ever-growing Christmas store.

continues to feature handmade imported German Christmas decor, including nutcrackers and smokers, glass-blown ornaments and more.

While strolling through the colorful lights, people can take a rest at the Biergarten or Amphitheater to listen to music performances. Loren Radis, a Central Coast native, along with several other musicians, were featured at the recent month-long event.

Those behind the Cambria Christmas Market have made it a mission to support locally.

According to their website, over the years they have made significant donations to local nonprofits, including the Homeless

Animal Rescue Team and the local school district. In addition, they continue to work with the Cal Poly events and engineering departments to build new, interactive displays. They have also worked with Jack’s Helping Hand to offer a Special Needs night that allows families with disabilities to attend the light display without the crowds so they can enjoy a festive evening without over-stimulation.

The Cambria Christmas Market has evolved into a memorable holiday attraction for many, so much that this year the Yelp website has listed it in the top 5 holiday markets in America.

Friends of Camp Natoma rescues Historic 7X Ranch It’s set to become hub for year-round youth environmental education and outdoor recreation programs STAFF REPORT

PASO ROBLES — In a landmark achievement for the preservation of natural landscapes and the promotion of outdoor education, Friends of Camp Natoma announced the preservation and partnership of the historic 7X Ranch. This significant milestone marks the beginning of a new chapter for Camp Natoma and the 7X Ranch, as it is set to become the hub for yearround youth environmental education and outdoor recreation programs.

Camp Natoma and neighboring 7X Ranch, nestled in the heart of the Adelaida district of Paso Robles, each have long protected the region’s rich heritage and natural beauty. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the 7X Advisory Committee with Friends of Camp Natoma, this pristine expanse of land has been safeguarded from potential development, ensuring its preservation for generations to come.

Founded in 1941, Camp Natoma has been a cherished institution, serving the

youth of San Luis Obispo Count y for over eight decades. The camp has relied on the support of generous donations and volunteers to continue its mission of providing immersive wilderness experiences that catalyze the development of resilience, promote self-growth, and inspire a love for nature.

“We are elated to share the news of our successful preservation of the 7X Ranch,” said Emily Zbin, executive director for Friends of Camp Natoma. “This achievement is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our organization to the well-being and development of our youth, by protecting these vital outdoor spaces. We are honored to bring new programs to life and preserve the 80 acre ranch, to fulfill the trust of legendary local rancher Dee Fitzhugh.”

The expanded offerings will include family programs, day camps, retreats, and environmental education. Collaborations with local schools, community groups, and youth organizations will offer a diverse range of outdoor activities.

Friends of Camp Natoma is now seeking lead legacy donors and program sponsors. The community is invited to learn more about Camp Natoma by visiting campnatoma.org.

All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said deed of trust in the property situated in said county and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced deed of trust. Sale Date: January 2, 2024 Sale Time: 11:00 AM Sale Location: In the breezeway adjacent to the County General Services Building, 1087 Santa Rosa Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408 File No.:22-02377CA The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 813 Angus St, Paso Robles, CA 93446. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $142,789.92 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale

date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, (916) 939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.nationwideposting. com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 22-02377CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 22-02377CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

File No.:22-02377CA If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Shop with a Cop event delights 40 children in Paso Robles

Inaugural event was hosted by the Paso Robles Police Activities League (PAL) STAFF REPORT

PASO ROBLES — Last week marked the inaugural Shop with a Cop event in Paso Robles, a heartwarming initiative that brought together law enforcement and the community. Forty children, nominated by school staff, had the opportunity to make their Christmas extra special with a $150 gift card provided by the Paso Robles Police Activities League (PAL).

Local heroes, including officers, deputies, dispatchers, crime analysts, and firefighters, joined the children for a memorable shopping experience. The event received generous support from various law enforcement agencies and local businesses, including Paso Robles Police Department, Paso Robles Firefighters, Morro Bay Police Department, San Luis O bispo Count y Sheriff ’s Office, Mo’s Pizza, City Mouse Country Kitchen, Walmart Paso Robles, and Lowe’s Home Improvement.

The PAL gives a special thanks to Santa from the North Pole and Officer Peppermint for spreading holiday cheer. They said the event wouldn’t have been possible without the partnership of Walmart Pa s o R o b l e s , w h i c h hosted the festivities. The Paso Robles Joint Unified School District played a crucial role by providing a bus and nominating deserving students.

Another shoutout goes to the Paso Robles High School AVID group for their volunteer efforts, keeping the spirits high and ensuring a memorable experience for the 40 kids. Local heroes, including officers, deputies, dispatchers, crime analysts, and firefighters, joined the 40 children for a memorable shopping experience with the inaugural Shop with a Cop event.

I

’ve been looking for “sweet” recipes for my Christmas baking. I was flipping through the Centennial Cookbook we put together in 2013 and came up with some delicious treats. The Centennial Cookbook Committee included Donna Dornbos, Donna Cappel, Carol Porter, Diane Schneider, Joanne Faulconer, Kent Kenney, Dr. Kathy Green, and me.

We dedicated the book to all who love to cook and to those who simply collect cookbooks to read and enjoy. We offered recipes that were new, and some valued old ones. All reflected the love of good cooking. The following recipes are from that book.

Lemon Dream Bar Janet Stecher, Atascadero Ingredients: • 1/3 cup butter • 1 cup flour • 2 tablespoons sugar • 2 eggs, beaten • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar • 3/4 cup coconut • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Lemon Frosting: • 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind • 1 tablespoon lemon juice • 1 cup powdered sugar Directions: Mix together the butter, flour and sugar. Press mixture into greased 11×7-inch pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Mix together the beaten eggs, brown sugar, coconut, walnuts, salt, baking powder and vanilla. Spread over baked dough. Bake at 350 degrees in the 11 x 7-inch pan for 15 to 20 minutes. Combine frosting ingredients and spread over bars when cool.

Chewy White Chocolate Cookies Diane Schneider Paso Robles (former Atascadero resident) Ingredients: • 1 3/4 cup flour • 1 3/4 cup cocoa powdered • 1 cup white sugar • 3/4 cup brown sugar • 2 teaspoons baking soda • 1 cup butter, softened • 2 eggs • 1 teaspoon vanilla • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 2 cups white chocolate chips Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, beating

well with each addition. Add the salt and vanilla. In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, and baking soda, and gradually add to the creamed mixture.

Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until fluffy but still soft. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

Celebration Cake Jeannie Malik, Atascadero Ingredients: • 1 Devil’s Food chocolate cake mix • 1 large box of chocolate pudding (not sugar free/ fat free!)

• 4 eggs well beaten • 1/2 cup oil • 3/4 cup coffee • 8 ounces sour cream • 1 large bag chocolate chips • Powdered sugar for sifting on cake after baking Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all ingredients together and then fold in sour cream and chocolate chips. Pour into greased bunt cake pan and bake in oven for 55-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in cake. Cool for 15 minutes and invert onto a serving plate. Sift powdered sugar on top, slice and enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

King of the Wild Frontier

COLUMNIST

A

s a child, I wanted to grow up and be just like Davy Crockett. Many a day was spent with my trusty BB gun and coon skin cap, hunting for a “bar” in the backyard. When he was alive, I used to go out of my way to stay at a hotel owned

by Fess Parker simply because he was the “King of the Wild Frontier.” (Although I never pictured Davy in the hospitality trade).

So you can imagine my disappointment when I read the book, “Davy Crockett’s Own Story,” that Davy’s hat was not made of coon skin but of a fox. And heaven forbid, Davy spent just as much time being a politician as he did hunting for bear. I know these are facts because the book was written by Davy himself, and

he would never lie to me. What Davy Crockett was really good at was story telling and after reading some of his tall tales I aspire to be like him now more than ever. After getting to know Davy Crockett, I like the man even more than the myth.

We tend to think Davy ate nothing but bear grease and wild turkey but he liked eating beef and he often shot for them.

No, he didn’t shoot other people’s cattle ... he contested for their beef.

“In the latter part of summer, recalled Davy, “when their cattle got very fat some of the folks desirous of raising money on one of their fatted beeves would advertise that on a particular day, a first rate beef would be shot for.”

Each shooter would buy chances at the beef. Each chance cost a quarter and entitled you to one shot at a target. The owner of the beef would sell enough chances to pay for the beef. Two non-shooting woodsmen were selected as judges, but as Davy

remarked, “Many a judge was like a handle on a jug ... all on one side.”

Every shooter took how ever many shots he’d paid for. The person who was fifth closest to the “X” on their target received a front quarter of beef as did the fourth place finisher. The third and second closest to the mark each took a hindquarters. Guess what the Grand Prize was? “The shot that drives the center or comes closest to it,” explained Davy, “got the hide and tallow which is considered first choice.”

The sixth closest to the mark got the booby prize; “The lead in the tree against which we shot.”

Davy was a good shot, but perhaps not as great as his reputation. When the citizens of Philadelphia made a present to Davy of his beloved rifle, “Betsy,” they asked him to display his marksmanship in a shooting match with Philadelphia’s finest. In the first go-round, Davy won as expected. But in the next round a local marksman put his lead right

Betty Hendrix, Atascadero Ingredients: • 2 1/4 cups sifted flour • 2 teaspoons double-acting baking powdered • 1/2 teaspoon soda • 3/4 teaspoon salt • 7/8 cup sugar • 2/4 cup chopped nuts • 1/2 cup raisins • 1/4 cup ground orange rind • 1 egg, well beaten • 1/2 cup milk • 1/2 cup orange juice • 2 tablespoons shortening, melted Directions: Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder, soda, salt, and sugar, and sift together. Add nuts, raisins and orange rind.

Combine beaten egg, milk, and orange juice. Add to flour mixture with melted shortening; mix until all flour is dampened and fruit and nuts are well distributed. Turn the batter into greased 9×5 inch loaf pan. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) for 1 hour or until done. Let cool in pan 10 minutes; then turn out of pan and let stand until cold.

Wrap in waxed paper or aluminum foil and store overnight before slicing. Makes one loaf.

Merry Christmas, one and all.

Cheers!

through the center of the target and Davy afterwards missed the target entirely. The crowd was aghast, but Davy employed a little trick he probably learned in politics. He went to the target and sneakily shoved a piece of lead into the bullseye while he was pretending to examine the target. Then he explained to the crowd, “I think if you will examine the target you will find two lead balls in that hole.” Sure enough when the officials dug out the bulls eye they found two pieces of lead and the legend of Davy Crockett was preserved.

Davy was a decent fellow who had to work hard to catch up to his growing reputation. He likened fame to what a fellow named Pat said as he fell from a tall church steeple. “This would be mighty pleasant now,” said Pat during his free fall, “if only it would last.”

emember, as a child, how thrilling Christmas Eve was? I remember being so totally excited and filled with anticipation for my good in the form of presents that I could hardly sleep that night. What if you were to carry that same childlike joy, wonder, and awe into each night before bed but being able to sleep deeply, knowing you are loved and cared for by your creator?

The Winter Solstice occurs on December 21st at 7:27 PM as we enter the heart of winter. We have plunged into the depths of darkness and can now celebrate

the return of the light. What a beautiful reminder that the light always returns. Always. Whatever darkness you may have experienced or are currently experiencing, please know that the light will return. On Christmas Day, while many commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, the light of the world, I invite you to consider what light is being born in you.

American New Thought writer, teacher, and leader Ernest Holmes wrote, “Jesus was the embodiment of Divine Love who showed the way, the truth, and the life, and revealed that the heart of the Eternal is most beautifully kind.”

Jesus was a mystic, a way-shower who showed us how to do for ourselves what he did for himself. He taught us how to be born again, to have the faith of God and not just faith in God. Christ was not his surname.

Having the faith of God is what is meant by “Christ-consciousness.” To have the faith of God, be unwavering in your understanding and embodiment in your belief that God is all, under, above, around, and about.

Jesus always gave thanks and commanded the outcome desired, and that outcome would manifest. He never asked God to answer his prayers, please, or thought to himself, “Maybe this will work,” or, “I sure hope this works because everyone is watching!” Jesus knew the power of his word and was unwavering in his faith; he had the faith of God. Consider the miracle of the loaves and fishes from the Bible.

Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up, thanked God for them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. The baskets were never depleted. Five thousand people were fed, and there were

pieces left over.

At this time of year, as we contemplate the birth of the most Divine person, let us rededicate our hearts to the service of humanity. Be kind and loving to one another, shine your light, forgive, and have the faith of God. Contemplate and give thanks for the many blessings you already see in your life. Simultaneously, wait in joyful anticipation for the multitude of gifts that pour into your life from the kingdom of heaven within, such as love, wisdom, beauty, joy, peace, harmony, wholeness, bliss, forgiveness, prosperity, faith, and more.

What light is being born in you today?

And so it is.

Atascadero High School names new varsity football coach Dan Loney will be taking over for Vic Cooper in leading the Greyhounds

BY CHRISTIANNA MARKS

ATASCADERO — An email went out on Monday, Dec. 18, announcing that Dan Loney will be taking over as the Atascadero High School (AHS) varsity football head coach.

“Atascadero High School is pleased to announce Dan Loney has accepted the head varsity football coaching position at Atascadero High School, taking over for Vic Cooper,” read the email from AHS Athletic Director Sam Derose.

Loney, an AHS alum himself, graduated in 1996, where he earned a full scholarship to play football at Cal Poly.

He graduated from the university in 1999 after playing as a four-year starter.

Then, he was a graduate assistant coach there before spending 10 years playing in the Arena Football League, nine with the San Jose Sabercats, and one

Loney continued coaching for high school teams all 10 years he was in the AFL. He coached in Porterville and

in the North County; you’ve seen him “I look forward to continuing the coaching in Atascadero, Templeton as great tradition of Atascadero football,” head coach for five years, Paso Robles Loney said. “Following Vic Cooper is High, and now back to AHS. no easy task. He had 20 years of great

success with hard-nose Greyhound football, and I just hope to continue where he left off.”

Cooper, who has been the AHS head coach for the last 30 years, is stepping away from the field and handing over the reins to Loney. While he might be leaving coaching behind, he will still remain teaching at AHS, and he’s looking forward to rejoining the football team as an assistant sometime in the future.

Loney also has three sons — Clayton, Cole, and Cade — who have followed in his footsteps playing ball.

He says it’s been better than he could imagine watching them out on the field.

“Watching all three of my boys playing football, having success, making life-long relationships, learning to be counted on as a teammate, and learning how to become leaders is a dream come true,” Loney added.

Welcome back to the Greyhounds, Coach Loney.

Templeton Recreation Foundation supports Templeton Youth Soccer League with $2,100 donation This donation will fund 21 youth soccer scholarships for children participating in TYSL STAFF REPORT

TEMPLETON — The Templeton Recreation Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to enhancing recreational opportunities for the Templeton community, has announced a generous donation of $2,100 to the Templeton Recreation Department. This donation will fund 21 youth soccer scholarships for children participating in the Templeton Youth Soccer League.

“We are indebted to the Templeton Recreation Foundation and their generosity,” Recreation Supervisor Mel Johnson, a spokesperson for the Templeton Recreation Department, said. “The funding of scholarships at a total of $2,100 means over 20 Templeton children were able to participate in the Templeton Youth Soccer League who otherwise were unable to play. As we know, youth sports participation is an important aspect of developing physical health. But the benefits extend far beyond that into mental, emotional, and social health as well. Participation in youth sports is associated with higher self-esteem, lower risk of risky behaviors, increased cogni-

tive performance, and more. So, you can see that the donation of these scholarships is imperative to the development of happy and healthy children in our community. Thank you, TRF.” The Templeton Recreation Foundation encourages community members to support their ongoing initiatives by making tax-deductible donations. Individuals can contribute by mailing checks made payable to “Templeton Recreation Foundation” to P.O. Box 1423, Templeton, CA 93456. All donors will receive a thank-you letter along with the Foundation’s Tax ID number.

This donation reinforces the Templeton Recreation Foundation’s commitment to fostering a vibrant and active community through accessible recreational opportunities.
