ATASCADERO—The Atascadero City Council met for their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 14, at 6 p.m. The hybrid meeting was held in the City Council Chambers and was followed by a closed session.

The agenda passed unanimously at the beginning of the meeting.

City Manager Jim Lewis had a clarification for the second item on the Consent Calendar, Lift Station No. 13, and Force Main Replacement Project Construction Award. On the agenda, the fiscal impact for the item was listed as TBD, which was a clerical error.

“The staff report does correctly break down the expenses and funding for the item. After further review, we did determine that the overall fiscal impact of the item will be a little lower than what is reflected in the staff report for this item as well,” Lewis said. “So, to be clear, the fiscal impact of the item is as follows. I wanted to share it with you before you vote. Approving staff recommendations will result in estimated expenditures of $6,620,008 in wastewater funds and $1.3 million in road repair and accountability act funds,” stated Lewis.

Mayor Heather Moreno then pointed out that the city has been planning on this, and the item is in their budget. The Consent Calendar was then passed unanimously.

In his Updates from the City Manager, Lewis announced that the city’s website has been officially updated with a new look.

You can go to atascadero.org to see for yourself.

“It’s a very fresh, modern website. It’s much easier to find things. We’ll continue to work on little bugs here or there or links,” Lewis said. “We wanted to get it out and get people working on it. Just a really really impressive website and I hope our public enjoy it and can get more important information better and easier.”

homeowners insurance crisis sparks executive action after negotiations stall Gov. Newsom’s ‘request’ and proposed regulations bring controversy and debate among stakeholders

exposure in California.

By BARBARA BURKE Guest Contributor

CALIFORNIA — It’s the old policymakers’ and interest groups’ song and dance. If the legislature fails to come to an agreement and cannot address an urgent issue affecting citizens, but instead, ends its legislative session, then stakeholders (often a euphemism for lobbyists) sometimes prevail in their efforts to convince the executive branch to act.

That’s what happened with regard to the exodus of key players in California’s homeowners insurance sector. Dismayed legislators’ constituents let their representatives know that they needed to intercede after State Farm and Allstate took their balls and went to play elsewhere, refusing to write homeowners policies and decrying how the California Department of Insurance oversees the setting of their homeowners insurance premiums.

Those insurers stated that doing business in California in our age of consuming wildfires results in enormous losses attributable to the marked increase in wildfire claims. Farmers Insurance took a less extreme position and currently only writes a limited number of homeowners policies in fireprone areas. Overall, since 2022, seven of the top 12 insurers have paused or restricted new business, according to data compiled by the Department.

During the few weeks before the legislative session ended, there were private negotiations between legislators, insurance lobbyists, and other interest groups about whether to change how insurers writing policies in California calculate risk when seeking Department approval to increase their rates. Currently, the insurers are mandated to base their proposed insurance rates based on past experience without regard to two realities they maintain must be included in the premium calculations if they are to garner a reasonable profit.

First, they want to use forward-focused models

that account for the risks of climate change to predict future losses. Second, they want to factor into the premium calculations the cost of reinsurance–insurance the insurers get for themselves to cover some of their risks, a cost that insurers maintain is rapidly escalating worldwide.

The negotiations broke down.

“Deal is dead,” said Sen. Bill Todd, who represents Napa, an area prone to wildfires. “Very frustrating.”

Meanwhile, many local homeowners and homeowners statewide are reeling as they face either extremely increased premiums or finding that no insurance company will write them a policy. No policy combined with a high risk of wildfires is enormously stressful for homeowners.

The executive order and proposed new insurance regulations On Sept. 21, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order “requesting” that the Commissioner of Insurance “take prompt regulatory action to strengthen and stabilize California’s marketplace for homeowners and commercial property insurance, and to consider whether the sudden deterioration of the private insurance market presents facts that support emer-

gency regulatory action.”

The same day, Insurance Commissioner Lara Ricardo responded by announcing the Sustainable Insurance Strategy, which he characterized as the largest insurance reform since 1988 when Californians passed a proposition requiring insurance companies to obtain permission before increasing their premiums.

Lara’s proposed rate-setting regulations would require insurers to cover a certain share of homeowners in most wildfire areas. This figure is summed by calculating a given insurer’s share of the number of policies written in the state and mandating such an insurer to cover homeowners in wildfire-prone areas at 85 percent of their statewide coverage. Consider this hypothetical provided by Lara’s Sept. 21 press release — if an insurer writes 20 out of 100 homes statewide, it must write 17 out of 100 homes in a distressed fire-prone area.

Lara’s proposed quid pro quo — the regulations, if fully promulgated and approved, would allow insurance companies to charge more to account for their rising cost of doing business in the state utilizing forward-looking wildfire estimates, insurers’ increased costs of building and their reinsurance costs to cover some of their risk

Not so fast says insurance advocacy group Consumer Watchdog The executive order and Lara’s efforts are not lauded by all, with one key consumer rights group, Consumer Watchdog, maintaining that if insurers can obtain premium rate approvals based on their projected wildfire-related losses, then homeowners will lose.

Lara’s “undisclosed deal will allow insurance companies to use secret algorithms to set rates for homeowners’ policies,” and allowing insurers to add in reinsurance costs will hike home insurance rates, the organization’s website said.

“The use of catastrophic modeling and adding of reinsurance costs to premiums has pushed Florida’s premiums up 2 to 3 times higher than California’s,” said Jamie Court, Consumer Watchdog President.

“Lara has given into industry’s demands, and the consumers are going to be paying the bills for a long time unless he is stopped.”

On Sept. 26, Consumer Watchdog released a statement characterizing Lara’s proposal as a “behind-the-closed-doors deal” that will raise home insurance premiums for millions of Californians.

Delving further, on Sept. 28, the organization noted that Lara’s announcement of the deal with the insurance industry to use models marketed privately did not acknowledge consumer groups’ recommendation that the Department of Insurance investigate a public model built with full transparency and public participation so as to prevent artificial insurance rate inflation.

“California’s insurance protection laws make transparency in rates non-negotiable,” said Carmen Balber, Consumer Watchdog’s executive director, who opined that the two largest risk modelers’ systems are inaccurate and possibly biased.

The Atascadero News and Paso Robles Press will keep readers updated as the Department of Insurance promulgates the regulations setting forth methodologies for calculating homeowners insurance premiums.

WATER

Sites Reservoir on fast track for final legal green light Estimated to cost $4.5 billion and hold 1.5 million acre-feet of water, it would be the first major reservoir built in California in almost half a century

By CALEB HAMPTON California Farm Bureau Federation

CALIFORNIA — After decades of discussions and delays, a major new reservoir in Northern California is close to becoming reality.

Last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom certified the Sites Reservoir project to be fast-tracked for construction, exercising for the first time his power under a new state law to streamline the process to break ground on infrastructure projects.

The reservoir, estimated to cost $4.5 billion and hold 1.5 million acre-feet of water, would be the first major reservoir built in California in almost half a century.

It would be located about 80 miles northwest of Sacramento on ranchlands in Colusa and Glenn counties.

“The project we are considering today will help the state meet key climate change goals and create a more resilient water supply for Californians and the environment,” Fritz Durst, chairman of the Sites Joint Project Authority, said in a statement.

Earlier this year, Newsom pushed the California Legislature to pass a package of bills designed to limit regulatory delays to water, energy and transportation infrastructure projects.

Senate Bill 149, authored by state Sen. Anna Caballero, D-Merced, requires courts to resolve legal challenges brought under the California Environmental Quality Act within 270 days for certified projects.

In the past, such challenges have

delayed infrastructure projects for years.

“We’re cutting red tape to build more faster,” Newsom said in a statement. “These are projects that will address our state’s biggest challenges faster, and the Sites Reservoir is fully representative of the goal — making sure Californians have access to clean drinking water and making sure we’re more resilient against future droughts.”

The first plans for Sites Reservoir were drawn up more than 40 years ago.

The project has gained momentum since 2014, when California voters overwhelmingly approved a bond authorizing $2.7 billion for new water storage projects. About $875 million

from that bond, alongside other state funds and federal loans, would be used for Sites Reservoir, with the remaining balance paid by water agencies and communities benefiting from the reservoir.

“Water infrastructure needs to move forward,” said Chris Scheuring, senior counsel for the California Farm Bureau. “It’s in the best interest of all the people in the state of California.”

Water users in the state have long expressed frustration at missed opportunities to capture water in wet years — such as this past year that brought historic storms and flooding — and store it for use on farms and in homes during drought years.

“There is no existing infrastructure in place to capture and store excess water flows from the Sacramento River when they happen,” Durst, a Yolo County farmer, said last year.

The reservoir will play a key role in managing runoff to support the flood control system in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, he added.

“The reservoir’s storage flexibility, working in concert with our existing water management systems, could also help us respond more rapidly and in an adaptive fashion to the changing hydrologic conditions and the changing needs,” Durst said.

On Nov. 2, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation released its environmental impact report and statement

for Sites Reservoir, finalizing plans for the project and opening it to legal challenges that would now be subject to California’s new time limits on litigation.

“We are proud to support projects that will provide operational flexibility and more reliable water delivery to benefit farms, communities and the environment,” Reclamation Commissioner Camille Calimlim Touton said in a statement.

The off-stream storage facility, set to become the eighth-largest reservoir in the state, would not sit on a waterway but would have water piped into it from the Sacramento River.

The reservoir would increase Northern California’s water storage capacity by up to 15 percent and boost water supplies for 24 million people, mostly in Southern California, and a half-million acres of farmland in the Central Valley. It would also store water that could be used for environmental purposes.

The reservoir’s off-channel design means it will not impede fish migration routes. But environmental groups have still criticized the project because it will divert water that nourishes wildlife and natural landscapes.

“I would guess we’re going to see some legal challenges,” Scheuring said. “However, it’s nice to know that a fixed time period is now established and that we’ll move through those challenges as expeditiously as possible.”

Construction of the reservoir is expected to begin within the next two years and be completed around 2030 or 2031.

“The name of the game,” Scheuring said, “is to get done with all the process — the funding, legislation, litigation, environmental review — and get a shovel in the ground to do what we’ve been talking about doing for a generation.”

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY District Attorney’s Office stops nearly $9 million in fraud property sales The San Luis Obispo County Dis-

trict Attorney’s Office has successfully prevented nearly $9 million in fraudulent real estate sales within the county, stemming from an ongoing scam targeting local unencumbered undeveloped properties.

The scam involves impostors posing as property owners who contact real estate agents, attempting to sell land they do not own. The District Attorney’s Office Real Estate Fraud Unit has been investigating the matter, collaborating closely with real estate professionals to safeguard landowners from falling victim to this scheme.

To bolster awareness and protection, the District Attorney’s Office is initiating a focused mailing campaign aimed at warning potential victims.

The campaign will specifically target owners of unencumbered undeveloped land in San Luis Obispo County, providing essential information on monitoring and securing their properties.

Property owners with undeveloped lots are strongly encouraged to verify the status of their land using reputable real estate websites such as Zillow or MLS (Multiple Listing Service).

Additionally, owners can perform a property title search through the County Clerk-Recorder website official record search.

Should property owners discover that their land has been fraudulently listed for sale or sold, they are urged to contact District Attorney Senior Investigator Eric Vitale promptly.

Investigator Vitale can be reached at (805) 781-5868 or via email at

Fire at Cuesta Grade 100 percent contained after brief scare In a series of updates, CAL FIRE SLO has confirmed that the brush fire which ignited on Friday afternoon at the top of the Cuesta Grade is now 100 percent contained.

The incident began at 3:24 p.m. on Friday along Highway 101 at the top of the Cuesta Grade, north of San Luis Obispo. The fire, located adjacent to the northbound lanes of traffic, prompted the closure of one northbound lane, while all southbound lanes remained open.

With forward progress successfully stopped and containment achieved, the affected lane is expected to reopen soon. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

CAL FIRE and California State Parks collaborate on prescribed burns in San Luis Obispo County In a joint effort, California State Parks and Cal Fire have announced plans to conduct prescribed burns in several state parks across San Luis Obispo County. The burns are scheduled to take place between early November 2023 and March 2024, as part of the State Parks’ prescribed fire program.

Key Details: • The prescribed burns aim to manage vegetation, reduce

hazardous fuel loads, enhance wildlife habitat, and provide ecological benefits such as removing diseased materials and restoring essential nutrients to the soil.

• Parks where burns may occur include Hearst San Simeon, Harmony Headlands, Estero Bluffs, Morro Bay, and Montaña de Oro. Visitors are advised to check individual park unit web pages for updates on closures.

• Smoke may be visible in the vicinity of the prescribed burns from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the designated days. Extreme caution is advised for those driving in the area due to fire personnel and equipment.

• Park and trail closures are anticipated near the burn areas for safety reasons. Visitors are urged to stay informed about closures through official channels.

The success of these burns is contingent upon favorable weather and air quality conditions. If conditions are deemed unsuitable for burning, California State Parks will reschedule the prescribed burns accordingly.

Additionally, State Parks plans to collaborate with the San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District to minimize smoke impacts on nearby communities.

This collaborative initiative reflects the commitment to ecosystem management, wildfire prevention, and the overall well-being of the region. Up-

portion of the code update would be to address any concerns with potential conversion to long-term residential units.

Friends of the Paso Robles Library VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Donations will be doubled in November to help twice as many animals STAFF REPORT

NORTH COUNTY — Kicking off a crucial Giving Tuesday donation drive for Woods Humane Society, the John and Frank Sparacio Charitable Foundation has generously vowed to match all donations up to $20,000 through Nov. 28.

The match challenge doubles donations made by the public so that gifts can have twice as much impact for homeless animals.

“So far this year, 2,481 dogs and cats at Woods have found loving homes,” says Woods CEO Emily L’Heureux. “Many of those animals first required life-saving surgeries and treatments, which can be very costly and would not be possible without the generosity of our community. Now, with the help of this incredible match challenge, we will be able to transform the lives of so many more animals.”

L’Heureux notes that, as prices have gone up in recent months, sheltering expenses have also risen; the average cost of caring for just one animal is $800. “As Woods Humane Society is a nonprofit organization that receives no tax funds, we rely on donations, grants, bequests, fundraising events, and fees for services to conduct our work. This year, more than ever before, we look to the community to help us continue to reach up to 3,000 animals in

need of shelter, medical care, and adoption services.”

Woods Humane Society takes in surrendered pets from local community members who can no longer care for them, and transfers animals from overcrowded shelters and animal rescues, both within San Luis Obispo County and throughout the state, to save them from unnecessary euthanasia. Prior to adoption, each animal receives a spay/neuter surgery, microchip, vaccinations, parasite control, and any other needed treatments.

As part of the organization’s commitment to managing companion animal populations, Woods also provides low-cost spay and neuter services to San Luis Obispo County Animal Services, other local rescue organizations, and owned animals in the county. Additionally, Woods offers a Pet Pantry program for pet owners in need of assistance, Humane Education Program for local youth, and dog training and behavioral assistance through its Woods University Behavior and Training Department.

The Woods Humane Society Giving Tuesday match challenge runs through midnight on Tuesday, Nov. 28. Donations can be made in person, by mail, or online at WoodsHumane.org. The San Luis Obispo campus is located at 875 Oklahoma Ave., San Luis Obispo, and the North County campus is located at 2300 Ramona Road, Atascadero.

The Summary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d)(2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED December 2, 2015. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On January 2, 2024 at 11:00 AM, in the breezeway adjacent to the County General Services Building, 1087 Santa Rosa Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on December 4, 2015 as Instrument No. 2015061152, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of San Luis Obispo County, California, executed by DIANA HELLER, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for PLAZA HOME MORTGAGE, INC. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 11808 CALA COURT #49, ATASCADERO, CA 93422 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 without covenant or warranty, express 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.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $352,282.98 (Estimated).

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale.

Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee.

In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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

atascaderonews.com • pasoroblespress.com 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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www. nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0700075723-1. 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 NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 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 CA07000757-23-1 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.

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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 101316-CA. 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 Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www. clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 101316-CA

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.

ast weekend, I was happy to see that the organized tributes to our veterans were well attended. There were hundreds of people at the Atascadero Faces of Freedom Veterans Memorial, and Master of Ceremony Andy Morris did an exceptional job keeping the program moving and maintaining the event’s focus.

Everything, from the presentation of colors by Cal Poly ROTC, along with the Central Coast Pipes and Drums, the singing of the national anthem by Opal Lansky, the Invocation by Cornerstone Church Pastor John Marc Weimann, to the playing of taps by Dr. Alexander Castellanos, was just beautifully done.

The Distinguished Veteran Award was presented to RM3 USN Kenneth Craig by SPC Dan Pittaway (ASA). Atascadero Veterans Memorial Foundation member, Vicky Morse had the honor of presenting the wreath at

The flight takes them to Washington, D.C., to see the veterans memorials located there, and my husband, John, added a few words of praise since he was on the recent October flight.

ave you ever had your wallet “lifted?” It’s a funny word ... “lifted.”

Did you know it became a synonym for stealing as a result of building fence?

Like any new invention, barbed wire was not universally accepted. In Texas, the railroads and a few big ranchers tried to ban its use by passing a bill in the state legislature making it illegal to use “Glidden’s Wire.” Despite these efforts, the West got in a big hurry to fence itself in. Eventually, the wire became as scarce as the upper teeth in a cow. And any wire that was available was expensive.

That is when the practice of “lifting” a wire from another person’s fence became a popular nighttime activity. Usually, only the top wire was taken, as anything more would be

considered common thievery.

In this manner, many a young rancher “lifted” himself up by his bootstraps to find fortune and fence.

Frank Luther was a popular Democratic mayor of Cimarron, Kansas, and a young rancher during the time this ‘heavy lifting”was going on. In fact, Frank recalled engaging in the practice himself before he became a politician. “There was a long fence,” he wrote, “belonging to a big cattle company. I was working along quietly up a hill. I’d pull out the staples from two or three posts, roll the wire to that point, then go to staple pulling,” Frank recalled. “Presently, I began to notice, once in a while, a tug on the wire I was working on. I couldn’t understand it, so I crawled up to the top of the hill and looked over. What I saw plumb amazed me. Coming up the opposite slope of the hill, swiping the same top wire I was working on, was the Methodist preacher of Cimarron’s only church!”

“Such a thing could never happen these days,” you say.

Want to bet?

While I was checking on a ranch we leased I came upon a young man removing the boards from my working corrals. He was not just removing the top board but was taking it all off ! The man’s work clothes consisted of a designer shirt with an alligator on the pocket, pants with pleats and loafers without any socks. I recognized the man as a lawyer in our community. “Excuse me sir, but what do you think you are doing?” I had the gall to ask.

“Oh, hello. I am redecorating my office and we are going for the rural look. I thought this old wood would have a dramatic effect as paneling in my office.”

“But can’t you see that wood is part of my working corrals?”

I asked.

“These old corrals looked so old and dilapidated,” responded the lawyer. “I thought they were abandoned and didn’t think anyone would mind. I actually thought I was doing someone a favor by tearing the corrals down.” (Which I’ll admit didn’t say much for the shape my corrals were in, but I wasn’t going

little story written by the artist, who explains why she chose the theme she used to decorate the tree. Titles are very clever, such as “Gnome is Where the Heart Is!,” “Tea Time,” “Sewing Each Day Keeps the Crazy Away!,” and a wine theme tree titled “WINE-Because no Good Story Ever Started with Salad!”

I encourage you to stop in the lobby of the theater and check out these beautiful creations that are sure to be lasting treasures. The Printery Foundation is indebted to General Manager Jerry Kane, who helped the committee with the set-up of the trees. You can view and bid on the trees on the Printery Foundation website at atascaderoprintery.org. Proceeds from this fundraiser will help fund the restoration of the historic Printery building located on Olmeda in Atascadero.

Well, I ran out of room this week, so no recipe. But I do hope you will thank a veteran for his or her service and continue to support our nonprofits and their service to our communities.

Cheers!

to spend a lot of my own money fixing up another man’s property.)

“Well, you are not doing me a favor.” I said. “You are trespassing and destroying another person’s property. I ought to call the cops or take you to court and sue you,” I threatened.

“For that, you will have to retain a lawyer, and that can get very expensive.”

“How much?” I asked just out of curiosity.

“About $500 an hour for a good lawyer,” the barrister replied smugly.

In a plea bargain, the lawyer kept the corral lumber in exchange for the legal advice he had given me, and we called the whole thing even.

I remember thinking at the time this whole episode took place that a lawyer who would steal corral lumber could not possibly remain a lawyer for very long. Sure enough, just the other day, I read that the man is now a judge.

A big thank you must go to the Gold Coast Quilters, who presented “Quilts of Valor” to selected veterans. The beautiful quilts were handmade and followed a red, white, and blue theme. They were simply outstanding in their patterns and workmanship.

Last but not least, hats off to Boy Scout Troop 51 and Cub Scout Pack 51 who helped set up and take down all the tables and chairs needed for the event. And more hats-off to the Atascadero Kiwanis BBQ crew, led by Mike Schneider, for the meal they served after the ceremony On the same day, John and I attended the Veterans Appreciation Celebration presented by the Atascadero Elks Lodge #2733. We were served a delicious spaghetti dinner, followed by a program recognizing veterans in attendance who told some of their personal stories.

T

he festive holiday season is upon us.

Please don’t just allow it to be drowned in commercialism. These can be happy times even though they may feel like depressed or oppressed times. I am convinced that we can choose joy and gratitude. Gratitude is an attitude that will change everything. Oh, that we could learn to foster a grateful heart. A grateful heart can be defined as a “warmly or deeply appreciative kindness of benefits received.” It means finding appreciation in everything around you and looking for blessings everywhere. Cultivating a heart of gratitude means having an appreciation for life in

the present moment, counting our blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging the abundance already here. People who have developed a grateful heart tend to find things to be thankful for rather easily.

Appreciative people learn to live in the moment. They don’t dwell on the past; neither do they borrow the troubles of tomorrow.

Grateful people look deeply into the divine purposes of the present. Gratitude does not just show up, it must be invited and welcomed.

Let me offer some suggestions: 1. Establish during this season a gratitude table. Go out of your way to create a table of gratitude, either for yourself or your family. For example: a nice festive tablecloth, candlesticks, some flowers.

It may sound kind of cheesy, but my wife has done those things for years and what a tremendous difference it makes.

2. Cook festive things such as a turkey, chocolate chip cookies, apple pie.

3. Light candles. If you have a diffuser, diffuse the scents of the season such as cinnamon, peppermint, and pine.

4. Fill your home with festive or soothing music that reminds you of peaceful times.

5. Open your home up to friends and family for times of laughter. You really don’t need alcohol or artificial stimuli to have a good time.

Don’t talk politics, religion, or past hurt. Focus on the future and divine favor.

Let Thanksgiving be exactly that, a time of giving thanks for what you have. You may say, “I don’t have much.” Then teach yourself to turn a little into a lot. If we inventoried all our possessions, we may just find life is not as bleak and dismal as we thought. Share what you do have. Be a giver and not just a taker. Grateful people grav-

itate to grateful people. Gratitude will turn a tragedy into triumph. “In everything give thanks for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.”

(1 Thessalonians 5:18) A changed heart will create a changed mind and a changed mind will give birth to a changed conversation. A positive changed conversation will destroy anger, hurt, and offenses.

We must forget those things which are behind us and press towards a happier life.

If I may offer this: 1. Find yourself a good Biblebelieving church.

2. Repent of the past.

3. Ask Christ to live in you.

4. Attach yourself to a healthy spiritual family.

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!
