Rooster’s Firearms on security detail during shelter-at-home By NICHOLAS MATTSON nic@pasoroblespress.com

n the early onset of the shelter-at-home order by San Luis Obispo County, confusion over essential services put Rooster’s Firearms in the crosshairs. Owner Jim Mulhall shot straight with The Paso Robles Press after Rooster’s Facebook-shamed a lack of fact-finding by Paso Robles Daily News for reposting a questionable Cal Coast News story that suggested Rooster’s was ignoring the County shelter order.

COVID-19 UPDATE
SLO County COVID-19 Response Proves Results By NICHOLAS MATTSON nic@pasoroblespress.com SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — As San Luis Obispo County comes together by staying apart, the number of confirmed cases increases at a slower pace than the instances of fully recovered patients. Overnight, from Saturday to Sunday, the number of cases of COVID-19 rose from 67 to 71, while those fully recovered jumped dramatically, from 13 to 24. SLO County Health Officer Penny Borenstein called the growth in number a “modest increase day-over-day.” By Tuesday, the number of recovered cases reached 30 and confirmed cases increased to 80. Like more dramatic statistics around the world, the statistics in SLO County are not reflective of the overall picture of health in the area. The number of confirmed CONTINUED ON PAGE A9

County, “Licensed firearms retailers” are specified with further clarification by Sheriff Ian Parkinson. The SLO Sheriff ’s office statement included that “… licensed firearms dealers are also a vital and essential business. Citizens have a constitutionally guaranteed right to protect themselves and their loved ones, especially in times of crisis.” “We are very proud of the fact that the County has deemed us an essential service,” Mulhall said. As a result, Rooster’s Firearms in Templeton has been meeting demand for firearms while observing the County orders and recommendations of physical distancing of at least six feet, with signs posted at the front door. “We have been very, very busy,” Mulhall said. “We have up to 10 employees at any time in the shop. At peak times, we have security at the door and allow no more than 15 people in the store at any time, based
on our square footage.” As a licensed firearms retailer and a law enforcement firearms dealer, Rooster’s serves both first-time buyers who need extra help understanding laws and regulations around gun ownership, as well as serving agencies and local peace officers. We take a lot of first-time buyers, and many are surprised they cannot come in and walk out with a firearm,” Mulhall said. The purchase of firearms, including “private-party” purchases, are regulated and must observe laws regarding registration and the involvement of a licensed firearms dealer. What is called a 10-day waiting period includes a background check and the observance of ten 24-hour periods. The purchase at 3 p.m. on a Friday requires waiting until 3 p.m. on the tenth day. “Most of my employees are retired law enforcement and are very proficient with firearms,” Mulhall said.

“We have seen a lot of first-time buyers that come to our shop. We do some training with them after they pick up firearms and encourage them to purchase a gun safe.” According to Mulhall, the predominant interest for gun shoppers and buyers is in handguns, which can be easily concealed and carried. The laws concerning firearms are not common knowledge, and Mulhall said many new gun owners need to know the rules. “We answer questions about transporting firearms and concealed carry,” Mulhall said. “A percentage of people do not realize they cannot walk out with the handgun. They have to have certain requirements, and have a firearms safety certification.” Firearms safety certification test can be done at Rooster’s, and are good for five years, although only

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, President Donald Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, authorizing $2.2 trillion in funding for millions who find themselves in financial peril due to the coronavirus pandemic. On Wednesday, March 25, the House of Representatives passed the bipartisan bill, which was the third coronavirus relief package passed by Congress. “This bill will provide muchneeded support and relief to workers, families, small businesses, and communities across the country, and it is a significant improvement over the partisan bill initially proposed by Senate Republicans,” Rep. Salud Carbajal said. “On California’s Central Coast, I’ve been speaking with workers, families, small business owners, health professionals, and more, and I’ve been relaying our community’s concerns back to Washington as

PRJUSD Moves Forward with Layoffs
Bauer-Speck Elementary preps for close, termination notices sent
By MARK DIAZ PASO ROBLES — On Tuesday, Mar. 24, the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District board members moved forward with its proposed layoffs of classified employees with a 6-1 with Board member Joan Summers dissenting. Citing “program modifications and budgetary restraints,” the Board cut full time positions of four custodian positions, a Secretary, a K-5 Clerk, and a Library/Media Tech. The notices of termination are contingent on the closure of Bauer-Speck Elementary and gives the employees 60 days notification before being laid off. “The reduction of these [classified] positions is approximately $420,000,” Assistant Superintendent Jennifer Gaviola said, “but the closure of these positions would only take effect if Bauer-Speck itself was closed.” Gaviola told the board that with the closing of the elementary school, two administrative positions would be reduced along with a dance and a physical education teaching positions. Gaviola said people in those positions received a “substantial job change notification,” meaning that since the employees have permanent status, they have the chance
to be transferred to a different position in the district. She explained that these changes, including the classified terminations, result in a saving of $834,000 that was indicated on the meeting’s agenda. “It is my fervent hope that we can find another option,” Superintendent Curt Debost said, referring to the potential closure of the elementary school, “this is not my preferred option. I would love to find a different way to do it. It just seems to me that the numbers are crashing on us.” Board member Chris Bausch and Dubost debated back and forth about the cause of the layoffs. Bausch contended that poor decisions by the board and previous members resulted in the decimation of the school reserve budget and consequently, the terminations and possible closing of Bauer-Speck. Bausch cited the overestimate of Average Daily Attendance and deficit spending as the cause of the impending terminations. “ We allowed that to go on and approved budgets that should never have been approved,” Bausch said. Dubost respectfully disagreed, stating that the declining enrollment numbers are ultimately to blame, and a robust reserve would only delay inevitable layoffs.
PASO ROBLES SCHOOLS
Schools Close Indefinitely Trustees vote to purchase Chromebooks needed for distance learning

By MARK DIAZ PASO ROBLES — On Friday, Paso Robles Joint Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Curt Dubost released a statement that schools will remain closed indefinitely until it is deemed safe for children to return. “The Board of Trustees has agreed with my recommendation to close school indefinitely pending clearance from the Health Department that we may reopen without compromising the health and safety of our students and staff. We anticipate the earliest possible date we could reopen would be May 4. It is our hope that this can happen so that we can conclude the school year and seniors, in particular, can return for traditional activities and ceremonies. “During the closure, we will continue to distribute meals and provide instruction, including the time period which would have been spring break. Expect frequent updates as the situation is fluid. Further discussion can be expected with the Board on Apr. 7 at the Regular Board Meeting, with a formal update to follow. Under
no circumstances will we reopen without taking all reasonable steps to protect our community. “We all appreciate the cooperation of our employees and their unions, the many volunteers who have offered help, the City of Paso Robles — especially City Manager Tom Frutchey, Mayor Steve Martin, and Police Chief Ty Lewis, Dr.
and other district and site support staff for their many extra hours of dedicated service to our kids and community.” Previously, at the Mar. 18 PRJUSD Board Meeting, members approved the purchase of 15,000 additional Chromebooks to assist with long-distance learning for $408,446.25. “It was a hard decision, to be honest with you, on Friday to move forward on this,” Dubost said, “when we don’t have enough money to spend $400,000 During the closure, we will on something I have serious continue to distribute meals questions about whether it and provide instruction, is the right thing to do but including the time period don’t think we have an alternative, under the circumwhich would have been stances, I just don’t.” spring break. The additional handheld computers will create the Dr. Curt Dubost, ability for all students to PRJUSD Superintendent have access to long-distance learning instead of only a few. With each student having Jim Brescia, and the San Luis Obispo Chromebooks, it opens the door for County Office of Education. I also want PRJUSD to establish required learning to thank the district management team procedures for students to advance.

A Distant Opportunity
QUARANTINED LIFE
Six Feet from Normal HAYLEY MATTSON
Sarah Horne
F
CONTRIBUTOR
or two weeks, I’ve been working in my “home office,” conveniently located six feet from my bed. I haven’t worn makeup or done my hair since I was told to telecommute. My closet full of business casual office attire remains untouched — I’ve been rocking yoga pants and sweatshirts almost exclusively (save for the occasional cold morning when I answer my first email of the day while dressed in a bathrobe). My husband has taken to working from the living room, which is now the most multi-functional room of our 500-square foot apartment. His “office” is also the TV room, our dining room, and our gym. We have to remind each other to get up and take walks throughout the day. If we didn’t make a conscious effort to move our bodies, we would remain seated for nine straight hours. He occasionally flings a “How you doin’ in there!?” in my direction while we’re both click-clacking away on our computers. There are parts of this experience that I certainly don’t mind. I’m grateful for the extra time with my husband. We’ve been cooking a great deal more (because, duh). I’ve had the opportunity to chat with friends and family far more often; I don’t have to ask if they’re “free” for a call Thursday night. I know they’re free. We’re “challenging” each other to do push-ups and squats and take pictures of strangers’ dogs. We host parties and watch movies together via Zoom. We’re trying. So I’m trying. I’m trying to hold tight to the parts that I find enjoyable. I’m trying to be so, so grateful for my job, my husband, our fridge full of food, the roof over our heads, the continued safety, and health of my loved ones. I’m trying — as I believe we all are — to remain steadfast in the light, the lovely, the positive. The sun is shining today. I waved at my neighbor this afternoon. My husband and I will make dinner in a few hours. My mom and siblings are safe and healthy. There is good in the world. But on Saturday, I left the house for the first time in almost two weeks to go grocery shopping, and the goodness that I can usually wrap around myself like a fleece blanket gave way. Nothing catastrophic happened. Canned and frozen foods were still out of stock. The floor was covered in tape to keep shoppers six feet apart at all times. I was told my reusable bag was unusable (ironic, no?), and the checker stood behind plexiglass and wore gloves while they bagged my goods into fresh brown paper sacks. There may be good in the world, but it is still on fire. People are sick and dying. Others are without income for who knows how long. Panic and greed have led to completely avoidable shortages (looking at you, toilet paper). A quick trip to the grocery store reminded me how privileged I am to be able to find parts of this global pandemic “enjoyable”; standing behind a piece of tape in the grocery store, my ability to find a silver lining made me ashamed. For the foreseeable future, I imagine I will fluctuate constantly between these points — gratitude, fear, shame. Are we all feeling like this? If we are, may we all be gentler with ourselves in the coming months. Now send your friend a picture of a puppy.

CO-PUBLISHER
n a world where we are reminded, we are never alone, ask for help and lean on others, our times today look very different. With the “Shelter at Home” orders and the uncertainty of going out that have plagued everyday tasks, we are having to force ourselves to find a new balance of “normal” while at home with our loved ones. In our home, which is now our workplace, school, restaurant, and LEGOLAND, I have been struggling to find balance. I am a very structured person, I thrive on routine, up every day at 5 A.M., coffee, emails, meditation, some writing, shower and then the family is up and ready to start running. These days we now insert school. We had the last week off for “Spring Break,” but then on Monday, Zoom Video classes started. Electronics set up, my home office turns into a classroom, homework, and studies commence, and now I add teacher to my already full plate. As a business owner, these times are challenging, we have spent most of the last two weeks, evaluating our current business plan, forecasting and researching financial options for our company. In the meantime, we are in constant contact with our team via virtual meetings so we can have that person to person interaction. All while we publish our weekly newspapers and our four monthly publications that went to press last week. My husband and I divide and conquer as much as we can, but there is always work that needs to be done.
As a mom and a wife, my expectations of myself are now elevated more than ever. I am in a constant state of evaluating every choice I make throughout our day. All while we maintain a daily schedule that includes lots of Lego time, reading, some worksheets, art, outside time, and more Legos. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, lots of snacks in between, and telling myself it is okay that the boys stay in their underwear all day. Remembering to order groceries, that take a week to be delivered, trying to support local restaurants twice a week and other local business, all while still running our business in this economic health crisis that we are all in. At the end of the day, I try my best to not beat myself up for not getting “all the things done.” Not sticking to the schedule, not keeping my cool in every argument that the boys have about what the other has done, not being able to get back to every email, and the laundry still on the dining room table. Instead, I am making a conscious decision to focus on how I make each day count. During this time, as hard as it is, it really is a true blessing to be able to spend all this time together as a family. When walking through difficult situations, I try and make well-informed decisions and look for the positives. I like to plan, evaluate options, assess the benefits or challenges of what a situation or opportunity may bring, and at times ask others to weigh in if possible. As we head into our first full week of homeschool, I ask myself, did anyone take into account if I can do this? Did anyone check my skillsets? Am I able to add this to my plate? Do I have the tools necessary to make this beneficial for my boys? Did anyone set up a Zoom meeting with the other parents and me to go over what will be required and what we are expected to accomplish? And the answer that I came up with is no. Why, as parents were, we not consulted when making this decision? Why did we not have proper planning and informa-
tion so that we could prepare ourselves mentally to ensure success? At a time that I am already feeling overwhelmed with how things will turn out and what I am or am not doing for my kids, why was I not given more support from the ones who are the experts on teaching my children? During this time, we have valuable local resources that are not being utilized. We have ways to check-in virtually, set up support meetings, and group chats. We have options to allow for the parents of each class to get together and offer assistance to those that may need more help than others. So why are we not taking advantage of that? Our local government can partner with the school districts and local therapists and councilors to offer support for families that may not have anyone to reach out to for help. And since we are not able to see one another in person, how do we really know what is going on behind closed doors. Are the teachers able to evaluate each child on a Zoom call to see if they are doing okay? What system or protocols have we set in place to offer this type of assistance if needed? Did we give our teachers the tools to even recognize if something is amiss? Would it have been more helpful if we did not try and rush back into a full school schedule? What if we were to look at this situation as an opportunity? A way to improve how we all work together and support one another? What if we evaluated all our options, and rolled out a new way of educating as opposed to trying to fit the institutional model into our homes through Chromebooks and video? Especially during this time that most of us are still trying to find our footing? What if we looked at the bigger picture and accepted that this year will not look like the others and homeschooling will not fit into that mold? What if we created something new? Something innovative and helpful? We could use the months of April and
May as summer break. This would allow us time to coordinate with our local resources and set up virtual support groups for parents, teachers, and students so that everyone knows they have someone to walk through this with. We could offer at-home educational materials and tutoring so that our students would be ready for when school resumes to finish out their school year. In June, school resumes, students (hopefully) can go back to their classrooms, and seniors can finish out their final year with some closure and graduation. August, we take a break, and the new school year for 2020-2021 begins in September. This strategy would allow us as parents to spend quality time with our families and break up the duties so that we are not trying to homeschool through this pandemic, all while keeping up with businesses and job responsibilities and then heading right into summer. As with all ideas that come to fruition, you need a plan, resources, and a group of people able to execute in order to be successful. As a parent, a mom, and a business owner, I am willing to do my part. Perhaps we can partner with some of our local non-profits for resources. Our local city management and city council can come together with school boards, superintendents, principals, and teachers to brainstorm different ideas on how we can pull together as a whole. We can implement ways to help offer guidance, help, and encouragement so that the most important humans in all of this are supported and loved by everyone in their community, and their parents are not alone. Our youth deserves for us to be creative and look at the bigger picture. We are extremely influential in how they will process this crisis. Our littles are our next generation of leaders, and they are watching and listening to everything. How we respond, and support one another will influence who they will become.

The answer: “I have no idea.” Exceptions abound, such as in NJ where 3 Correct! It’s unenforceable. The reversal of of the 4 family members who contracted centuries of effective quarantine meththe infection and died were males in their ods ended with the AIDs epidemic of the
T
1980’s, when fears of socially stigmatizing people outweighed public health policy. Understandable, but getting a deadly respiratory infection by breathing has never been socially unacceptable in any society. We also closed schools under the hypothesis that children tend to be little petri dishes for infection and sent them all home, ostensibly, to stay at home, isolated from the community. Except, they aren’t. They play with the kids next door and down the street. Since mom/dad doesn’t know a neighbor is supposed to self-quarantine, (no quarantine signs on the house like were used for Diphtheria, Smallpox, other deadly pathogens) children happily play and unknowingly contaminate each other, bringing home or to grandma’s house whatever pathogen they picked up for the day. Children can be seen socializing everywhere without regard to “social distancing” and often in the company of adults. It’s kind of like the scene in the movie “Jaws” where the police chief knew there was a man-eating shark but didn’t tell the public and as a result, a child died. Viruses kill just as efficiently as any shark. The public has a right to know and the government has a duty to warn.
Overseas efforts to contain the virus via lockdowns to avoid the Italian disaster varies considerably. Italy, with a Bernie Sanders model health-care system, has close ties to China and held “hug a Chinese Day” to show their tolerance after the virus threat was revealed. Sweden has few controls while Britain’s police, known best for not catching violent criminals but excellent at harassing private citizens, is resorting to using drones in remote areas to prevent rural dog-walkers from violating “stay-athome orders.” The economy can’t sustain a long lockdown regardless of any Federal payout. The strategy reminds me of the Vietnam War incident in which a Marine platoon burned a village down, an officer stating, “We have to destroy this village in order to save it.” (Forcible relocation to fortified strategic hamlets was a policy designed to protect villagers from communist Viet Cong terrorism). So we’ll save Americans from contracting a virus but destroy everything else they have with little effect on actually containing the contagion. I fear that in the end, much of rural America, including the Central Coast, will be a ghost of its former self.
COMMENTARY
Get Ready For An Ethnic Studies Battle
THOMAS ELIAS COMMENTARY
None of the myriad documents prepared by state agencies last year came close to generating the conflict and heated emotions of a proposed new ethnic studies curriculum for public schools put forward by the state Board of Education and California’s Department of Education. Expect a new battle on this subject soon. The end result of last year’s kerfluffle was that the plan went back to the drawing board. A draft of a new plan will be released later this spring, barring coronavirus-related delays, with public input to follow and the aim of getting approval by
the state board next fall for use during the 2021-22 school year. The new ethnic studies program will strongly resemble the old one, which drew fire for ignoring the history of ethnic sub-groups. The rejected draft divided Californians into four ethnic identities: African-Americans, whites, Hispanic Americans and Asians/Pacific Islanders (as if – for one example – it makes any sense to toss Chinese Americans and Samoan Americans into the same pot). The guiding question has been described as: “How do the histories of colonialism and conquest, racial chattel slavery and white supremacist patriarchies…affect, inspire and unsettle scholarship in the present?” Meaning thinking is dominated by negatives, with little use for the positive contributions of the 80-plus ethnic groups that live side-by-side in Califor-
nia. Critical ethnic studies essentially is the background for shaping both the failed ethnic studies draft and the upcoming new effort. Said Theresa Montano, an ethnic studies professor at Cal State Northridge, “Racism has played a critical role in America and California. There’s a dominant white culture and then the others.” Might the cause of that last be the fact this nation was founded principally by Europeans? No informed American denies that slavery played a major role in the nation’s history. All this belongs in public school curricula, as do contributions of European colonists and other immigrants who made this the most successful nation planet Earth ever saw. State Schools Superintendent Tony Thurmond said “Our recommendations
will acknowledge and honor the four foundational groups” at the core of critical ethnic studies. That will lump Jews, Armenians, Irish, and all other Caucasian hyphenated Americans together with whites in general. It likely means anti-Semitism and the Armenian genocide, for two examples, would be downplayed next to racism and the interning of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Study of history can’t happen when there are “four foundational groups,” and everyone else goes into some kind of sub-group. Under the proposal, there will likely be no notation, for example, that Portuguese-Americans were central to building the state’s strongest-in-the-world agriculture industry. The new draft won’t differ much from last year’s effort, which means this one likely won’t fly, either.

reply. “It may be two inches but it’s still yardlong, also known as asparagus bean, number 345.” I tell you, it was like the old Laurel and Hardy routine of Who’s on First. In the good old days when I was a kid we didn’t have to learn all these foo foo foods like Napa cabbage, sea chokes, sea beans, lichis, paw paw, and jicama. (No, that wasn’t a hiccup.) A paw paw is also known as a yam bean. I wish they’d make up their mind, is it a yam or is it a bean? In my youth you went to a barbecue and it was beef steaks, potatoes, French bread drenched in real butter, iceberg lettuce, green beans and homemade vanilla ice cream. If you got real daring it was a green Jello salad instead of a red one. But now it’s empenadas with goat cheese, pomelos with soapberry dressing, Brussel sprouts with Fava beans and onion seeds, a salad made from four different kinds of leafy greens, roasted leeks and rhubarb. Speaking of rhubarb, anyone who has ever raised the stuff, like me, knows that dogs like to pee on it, so I’d stay away from the rhubarb pie if I were you.
The outbreak of fancy foo foo food has gotten so bad that at the last branding we attended someone brought their own fake meat because their teenage daughter was going through the mandatory vegetarian phase all young girls go through. As usual, my buddy fed the congregation of dogs who worshipped at the barbecue pit little pieces of meat. When he fed a pinch of the fake beef burger to a Dachshund it gagged it back up and started barking at it. It wouldn’t stop barking until the offensive burger was wrapped in newspaper and thrown in the trash can. Even then the Dachshund with extremely good taste kept snarling at it. This gave me a great idea. I’m sure you’ve seen “service dogs” in the grocery store? I told my buddy he could get rich by developing a strain of Beyond Meat® sniffing dogs and selling them as service dogs so that whenever a sensitive shopper came across fake, or other fancy foo foo food, their service dog would sniff it out and start yapping so incessantly at the disgusting feedstuff that every shopper in the store would know to stay away.

LAWRENCE EDWARD LUTZ 1934-2020
L
awrence (Larry) Edward Lutz, 86, passed away on March 24, 2020. Larry was most well known for his strength of character. His generosity and selfless acts of kindness for others knew no bounds. He traveled to Arizona, Mexico, and Guatemala to help with electrical and housing needs to improve living conditions. At home he would regularly assist friends, family, and neighbors with a variety of projects. He was a kind, compassionate, and fiercely loyal man who loved his God, his family, his friends, and all people in need. Larry was born in Pennsylvania in 1934 to Jane and Edward Lutz. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Joe and Tom: and sister, Marlene. Larry met the love of his life, Marline Dyck, while he was stationed at Camp Roberts and
she was attending Cal Poly. They married on May 2, 1959 at Grace Church in San Luis Obispo. Larry is survived by his wife, Marline Lutz: siblings, John and Linda; his three children, Bill ( Janet) Lutz, Tom (Margo) Lutz, and Carol (Dave) Kenyon; 7 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren. Larry’s work ethic and resourcefulness was evidenced even as a very young boy. At the age of 8 and 9, he learned from a local Native American trapper how to trap skunks and other small animals. All by himself, he would set his traps in the forest and sell the pelts to a local buyer during World War II to be used by the military for warmth around the collars of parkas. After graduating from high school, Larry began a long career in telecommunications working for Western Electric. He was then called up to serve in the Army (2 years active, 2 years reserve, and 2 years inactive reserve). While serving in the Army, he was an artillery instructor and demonstrated equipment for the Army Brass. He then returned to his telecommunications career working for Western Electric, Pacific Bell, AT&T, Bechtel Engineering, Construction, and Project management and later for PG&E. Larry is dearly loved and will be missed by all who knew him for his quiet strength and steady wisdom.
Duckworth Hunting in the Time of COVID
Parolee-at-large captured in riverbed with ‘janky’ bike STAFF REPORT PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles Police Department continues to clean up the neighborhood while crime in general drops due to the countywide shelter-athome observation. Criminals have far less competition for the attention of law enforcement, as generally law-abiding citizens stay indoors. The arrest logs from the last week in both Paso Robles and Atascadero showed little more than a dozen arrests or citations. A few standout arrests have topped the local charts, as the PRPD works to make the best use of its time, and the taxpayers’ dime. On Tuesday morning, PRPD captured parolee-at-large Nathan Duckworth. Around 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, the Paso Robles Police Department posted: Last night officers saw Nathan Duckworth, a parolee-at-large, near JC Penny’s. As usual, Duckworth ran, disappearing into the riverbed. ‘Round 3 am, officers were chit-chatting over coffee at Eagle Energy. Between talks about Tiger King and cop-work, two eager cops decided they would give it another shot. So, we crawled

back into the riverbed from the Riverbank neighborhood and waited. It wasn’t long before we saw a light bobbing up and down, heading right towards us. The sounds of a janky bike being dragged over river rock further gave away his position. Just as Duckwork was within an unsafe Covid distance, he shined his light on a dark looming figure in front of him. He was shocked to find it was a 6’5” officer who quickly got him in cuffs. Duckworth was booked at the SLO County Jail.

The male later identified as arrestee Ricardo Magana opened the garage door using the remote from inside an unlocked vehicle and was attempting to get into the victim’s vehicle inside the garage. During the confrontation, Magana
ran back to a black Ford Edge that was waiting for him to the front of the residence. The victim stated Magana got into the passenger seat and noticed a Hispanic female, later identified as arrestee Christina Rogers, in the driver’s seat. A juvenile was also reported as seen in the backseat of the vehicle. The black Ford Edge fled the area at a high rate of speed, evading PRPD Officers. A short pursuit ensued. The
suspects parked the vehicle in the driveway to a residence on Laura Way and fled the area. The black Ford Edge was recovered and reported stolen out of Shafter, CA. The vehicle was cold plated and had an unreported stolen license plate affixed to the rear bumper. The license plate was stolen from another Ford Edge at a residence in Paso Robles, who was later contacted. Magana, Rogers, and the juvenile were
all located in the area and arrested. They were later booked under the charges of burglary, possession of a stolen vehicle, and evading police into county jail and juvenile services. During the investigation, it was learned a fourth suspect was still outstanding. Officers identified and located 26-year-old Joel Nunez in front of Wal Mart and placed him under arrest for his involvement. The 16-year-old was cited and released to family.
Following the arrest of the Shafter Thieves, the Paso Robles Police issued the following post from its social media account: Remember last week when we reminded everyone to lock their cars. Well, apparently, we needed to say it louder for those in the back, because a crew of thieves kept ripping off our neighborhoods. In fact, the day after our post, someone had a LOADED GUN stolen from their UNLOCKED vehicle. Seriously, Paso, just stop. Remember that stolen BMW? It was later recovered in Shafter. Last week we also posted a picture of a Ford Edge warning residents keep an eye out. Well, last night it returned. Early this morning a resident in the 300 block of Crown awoke to someone inside their garage. The burglars fled in a Ford Edge (stolen out of Shafter) with Paso PD hot on their tail. We knew their luck ran out when they decided to head south on Laura Way (a dead end). All three split, jumping fences, disappearing
into the darkness. The trio probably hunkered down until day break when they decided to come out from their hidey-hole. We were still on the hunt, and a PRPD off icer saw the trio bee-boppin’ down Creston. One was injured and one had run out of her shoes during the whole ordeal. They were a real sight to be seen. Arrested were 24-year-old Christina Roger, 26-year-old Ricardo Magana, and a 16-year-old female, all out of Shafter. During the investigation, we learned of a possible 4th suspect, Joel Nunez (yep, Shafter). PRPD off icers located him at Walmart and he too was arrested. This investigation is still unfolding as we are trying to piece together this case. If you were a victim of a theft last night, lick your wounds, and call us. Stay sanitized, Paso, and LYDC (Lock Ya’ Dang Car).

horseback riding on the central coast By CAMILLE DEVAUL f you haven’t explored the Central Coast by horseback, then you haven’t really experienced it! As an area with a rich history in agriculture and desperados, traditions like horseback riding are offered on both sides of the Cuesta Grade. CENTRAL COAST TRAIL RIDES — If you are a lover of wine and want a unique experience, Crystal Hallett at Central Coast Trail Rides, based in Creston, has plenty to offer. Specializing in horseback rides with some of the area’s most famous wineries, they currently have rides with five different packages and more in the works. Hallett and her husband Brian operate the business together as a family with their two children, Taylen, 7, and Mattix,15. Soon, riders can look forward to having little Taylen as one of their lead wranglers! To give customers the best experience possible, they partner with some of the area’s most well-known wineries, ranches, vineyards, and resorts. Central Coast Trail Rides brings their customers packages with Cass Winery, Halter Ranch, Calcareous Vineyard, and a ride at Santa Margarita Lake. One of Hallett’s newest partnerships includes Hearst Ranch. “We ride at the Hearst Ranch and were pretty proud of that one,” Hallett said. “The Hearst Castle property out there in San Simeon is; definitely, I’d say one of my most prideful connections and partnerships.” Along with her partnerships at local wineries and ranches, guests at hotels and rentals such as Allegretto Vineyard Resort, Camatta Ranch, and others can inquire about their “stay and play” options. Hallett is consistently creating new partnerships to offer as many diverse options as possible. “Always expanding into new properties, new places to ride, new package opportunities,” Hallett said. “Big hills that we switch back onto the top to get the California Coastline views. That is called Cottontail Creek Ranch in Cayucos and that’s our newest, the only one that has ocean views.” The cost of rides ranges anywhere from $95 to $165 per person, depending on location and length of the trip. Groups from two up to 14 people can book with beginning to expert riders welcome. With 27 horses to choose from, riders are sure to find their perfect match. If you are looking to create a special moment — say a proposal — Hallett and her husband are happy to help

those dreams come true for you! There are many new opportunities in the works for Central Coast Trailrides. Riders can expect new experiences with more of the area’s favorite wineries. For more information on Central Coast Trailrides, their horses and experiences offered, head to cctrailrides.com. FOSS FARMS — Local little ones who are itching to get out on horseback can look to Jenn Foss at Foss Farms for horseback riding lessons. Foss has been providing riding lessons since she was 18 years old. She moved to San Luis Obispo when she was 19 from San Jose and never looked back. She and her husband settled on a small ranch in Atascadero, where she started Foss Farms. With a background in early childhood education and development, Foss specializes in children ages 2 to 12. “The opportunities range from me going onto their property giving lessons on their own personal horse, or they come to our house in Atascadero,” Foss said. “I have two lesson horses to choose from, and my more advanced students have the option of showing with me at local schooling shows.” There are several lesson packages riders can choose from, all within an accessible price range. Half-hour lessons are $35, and full-hour lessons run at $50, both having package options available. It is essential to Foss that her lessons are at a realistic cost for all families. Both of Foss’s horses are rescue horses. Her first horse, Thomas, is a rescue horse from North Dakota and has provided more than 100 students comfort as they take one of their first riding lessons. “We didn’t grow up with a lot of money in San Jose— we couldn’t really afford lessons,” Foss said. “I want to keep my prices affordable and competitive and realistic.”
redwings horse sanctuary
nonprofit horse rescue moving to paso robles By CAMILLE DEVAUL
F
or almost 30 years, it has been Redwings Horse Sanctuary’s mission to eliminate the causes of equine suffering. They started their journey in Carmel with only a few volunteers, rescuing 15 horses their first year. Today, they are located in Lockwood, and have grown to become one of the most well-established equine rescues in Monterey County. The staff at Redwings are looking forward to moving into a new and permanent facility within the next year. Thanks to a donor’s generous bequest gift, the team at Redwings was able to purchase a 141-acre ranch at 6875 Union Road in Paso Robles, where construction for a new facility has begun. The latest move will allow an increase in volunteer capacity and educational outreach with more donor and sponsorship opportunities.
Redwings provides a sanctuary for horses from all kinds of backgrounds. From retired racing thoroughbreds to wild mustangs in the Pryor Mountains of Montana, all are welcome. There are many equines within our state with very uncertain futures. This creates a great need for organizations like Redwings Horse Sanctuary, which receives, on average, 20 calls or e-mails a month requesting help for an equine in need. The staff prioritizes the rescue and rehabilitation of the most at-risk horses. Sara Ruggerone, Redwings Equine Care Manager, said, “We’ve been working closely with SLO County Animal Services lately to take in abused, abandoned and neglected horses and bring them back to health and hopefully offer them out into adopted homes later on.” In some occurrences, these horses are unavailable to adopt and seek a forever
Along with riding lessons, Foss owns and operates her own micro or urban-farm. “We farm heirloom vegetables, usually year-round depending on the season obviously and we raise chickens that are show quality and I also raise quail for meat and egg production,” Foss said. Foss humanely and ethically raises her quails from incubation to butcher herself and is the only known quail farmer in the area. She specifically raises Japanese Coturnix Quail for meat and eggs. Her products can be found at local vendors like Nature’s Touch in Templeton, SLO Natural Co-Op in San Luis Obispo, Railroad BBQ in Paso Robles, and more. If you’re in the area, be sure to visit the farm stand in front of Foss Farms and get some fresh produce! Visit foss-farm.com to book your riding lesson, shop for produce, and learn more about all Foss Farms has to offer!

WORK RANCH — At the edge of Monterey County, in the Cholame Hills, resides the Work Ranch. Since the 1880s, the Work family has owned and operated their 12,000-acre ranch in San Miguel. Now, they welcome guests from all over the world to explore the rolling hills they call home. Riders of all experience can partner with one of the Work’s well-tempered horses, or guests can bring their own! With urban life miles away, you’ll be able to breathe
sanctuary. Some of these are mustangs and burros from the Bureau of Land Management population control round-ups or rescues from Premarin farms. But not all the rescues come from an abusive or neglected past. Some were service horses for organizations such as the border patrol who served our country. Others come from a partnering organization called the California Retirement Management Account. Through CARMA, the rescue accepts retired off-track California racehorses who came from loving owners and are highly adoptable. Redwings Horse Sanctuary was founded in 1991 with a mission to end the abuse of horses, ponies, donkeys, burros, and mules. When their lease in Carmel came to an end, the owners of the property decided to sell their ranch, leaving the rescue to re-home. In 2000, they landed on a 167-acre ranch in Lockwood. By 2002, all 90 equines, staff members and volunteers made the transition to their new home. The staff and residents of the sanctuary would like to send out a special thank you to Jack and Marilyn Clifton for generously leasing the Lockwood property to Redwings for the past 20 years. Since 1995, the rescue has been established as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organiza-
and take in all the details nature has created. The majority of their land remains untouched by man as it did over 100 years ago. Rides are offered year-round with seasonal hours. Trails run an hour-and-a-half, with longer rides available upon request. Special rates are provided for groups of five or more. If you are in search of an experience that showcases the untouched beauty of North County, Work Ranch is undoubtedly the place to be. To book a ride with the Work Ranch, call Kelly Work at (805) 610-0961 or visit workranch.com/trail-rides-horseback-riding/ for more information on the Work Ranch and all their upcoming events! HARRIS STAGE LINES — Harris Stage Lines in Paso Robles makes it their business to embrace western traditions. Bring a picnic, visit the ranch and ride stagecoach just as they did in Paso Robles in the 1860s! Call Harris Stage Lines at (805) 237-1860 for more information on tours or to make a stagecoach part of your weddings and special events. PISMO PRESERVE — Those with their own horses who are looking for an ocean view are welcome to visit the Pismo Preserve. With 880 acres and 11 miles of trails, riders can enjoy scenic views of the Pacific Ocean from the Irish Hills to Point Sal. Trails are currently closed due to coronavirus concerns and lack of physical distancing by visitors. Z RANCH — In Templeton, guests can get cozy on one of Z Ranch’s cabins and plan a trail ride with vineyard views. Z Ranch has 22 acres and a 360 view of the hills, vineyards, and oak trees.

For all trailheads and rides, please call ahead to confirm that operations are as listed, due to coronavirus concerns or state orders to close non-essential services.
tion. All veterinary costs, land lease fees, employee salary, and equine needs are paid for with much-appreciated donations. The rescue is accredited by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries, making it one of the most well-established horse rescues in the state. Those wanting to support Redwings can do so in several ways. If you wish to contribute, but can’t afford a donation, volunteers are always welcome at Redwings! Desirae Cogdell, Redwings office manager, said, “All of our volunteers take a training course with Sara. We call it a level one class which teaches basic horsemanship — primarily, our volunteers groom and give extra love and attention.” After completing the level one class, volunteers are welcome to come to the facility’s open hours, which take place Tuesday through Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and spend time with their level one equines. Tours and visiting hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at no cost to the visitor. One of the best ways to contribute to Redwing’s cause is to go through their foster to adopt the program. “We have a very unique adoption program — we don’t charge adoption fees at Redwings,” says Ruggerone.
Instead of paying an adoption fee and leaving, potential adopters must foster their horse for one year. The foster home is required to send monthly updates and expect quarterly visits from the staff at Redwings. “We offer both riding horses as well as just companion horses,” Ruggerone said. “For somebody that maybe has a big beautiful pasture and one horse that is maybe a bit lonely.” Since the creation of their Foster to Adopt program in 2014, Redwings has placed a total of 52 horses in new homes. A total of 28 horses have been formally adopted and currently 24 in foster homes are on the path to adoption. For more information on the Foster to Adopt program, visit redwingshorsesanctuary.org/how-tohelp/foster-to-adopt. Donations can be made through the Redwings website at redwingshorsesanctuary.org/donate or by calling their office at (831)-386-0135. Donors can contribute through a one-time occurrence, a monthly donor program, or done through a horse sponsorship. The caring staff at Redwings Horse Sanctuary is looking forward to their move to Paso Robles and have many exciting opportunities in the works for visitors!

ROOSTER’S CONTINUED FROM A1
one handgun can be purchased during a 30-day period. Along with educating new gun owners, Mulhall serves the law enforcement community’s firearm needs. Mulhall retired as the Atascadero Police Chief in 2011, prior to opening Rooster’s. In addition to his experience as a police chief, Mulhall also spent time with the Sheriff ’s Department Special Enforcement Detail (SWAT) as a sniper, as a Bomb Squad Technician, and later as Bomb Squad Commander for the San Luis Obispo County Bomb Task Force. His experience and training lend to his service of local law enforcement officers, including his work in serving to reissue handguns to California Highway Patrol officers who want to recover their previous handgun after being issued a new handgun. “After a few years and number of shots fired through the firearm with the rough use the firearm goes through, the agency will issue new firearms,” Mulhall explained. “Then the officer gets a chance to purchase the firearm back. But they can only buy back the same gun they had.” The handguns removed from official
service end up in a state clearing house, and local CHP officers can request their former handgun, and Rooster’s then works to re-register the firearm as personal property of the CHP officer. According to Mulhall, those officers face the same stringent rules and background checks as any other gun owner. Additional laws regarding gun ownership can be answered by the 35-year veteran of law enforcement and his experienced staff. In addition to serving the public, and the right to bear arms, Rooster’s serves other local agencies and organizations that have security needs. “We also do a lot of business with the department of corrections,” Mulhall said, “and supply security forces at Diablo Canyon. Based on all of those things is part of the reason the County has deemed us essential.” While one retired officer commented on Rooster’s Firearms Facebook page that the media is only out to sell copy, Mulhall told The Atascadero News and The Paso Robles Press that his experience as a public figure dealing with the local newspapers has been positive. “I always had the best relationship with The Atascadero News,” Mulhall told publisher Nic Mattson. “You guys have always been honest and straight with me.”

Working with federal, state, local, and private sector safety stakeholders, the SHSP establishes goals, objectives, and emphasis (or challenge) areas. The SHSP addresses the 4Es of traffic safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Services, according to the Caltrans website. “It’s an important grant because every city has to have one, an evaluation, in order to apply for future state safety grants through the Active Transportation Act program,” City Engineer David Athey said. Athey said the City’s plan would examine the high accident rates of corridors and intersections and develop rankings and possible solutions for troubled areas. He noted that fixes could include

tests are a result of testing — the spread of the novel coronavirus outpaces the ability for healthcare providers to return test results, and statistics remain skewed until more results are made available. What we do know is the number of confirmed cases will continue to rise, mild cases may go unreported or untested, and the number of recovered people will outpace the number of deaths. To date, San Luis Obispo County has not had any reported deaths in connection to COVID-19. COVID-10 stands for COronaVIrus Disease of 2019. Coronavirus is the virus, and COVID-19 is the disease it causes in its victims. Conflicting reports reveal the learning curve that challenges health experts in connection to COVID-19. How it can spread, how long it can live on a surface, and how dangerous it is to people of all ages are topics that continue to produce new information, but with more than 825,000 confirmed cases, more than 41,000 deaths, and more than 175,000 recovered worldwide (according to Johns Hopkins University), some trends are tracking true. Elderly people have a higher risk of death, as do people with “underlying conditions.” Younger people are less likely to become infected, and when they do, they are less likely to have severe symptoms if they show signs at all. That does not mean they are immune, as multiple cases of children under the age of 18 in SLO County were confirmed in the past 10 days. In SLO County, the leading age demographic for confirmed cases is people over the age of 50, with 43 cases. Generally, it is understood to be a result of the age group being more likely to show symptoms and, therefore, more likely to be tested. The 18 to 49 age group is not far behind in confirmed cases, with 34. The number of recovered cases in SLO County continue to rise, but the County’s Public Health Department (PHD) continues to prepare for the healthcare system to become overwhelmed. The number of hospitalizations rose to 10 on Tuesday, from seven
something as simple as signage to redesigning an intersection or a stretch of road. Athey said that although the coronavirus disrupted City plans, he intends to have a plan completed by the end of 2020 and ready for the City Council’s consideration. “Periodically, we will update that plan every couple of years,” Athey said, “[we’ll] relook at the accident rate and see what countermeasures we’ve deployed out have worked or if we need to do some additional work.” He went on to say, “It’s important because we want everyone to go home at night, we don’t want people going to the hospital or worse.” According to Paul Lopez, whose house backs up against the intersection of Creston Road and Golden Hills Road, the thoroughfares are a problem area. Two times in the last six months, cars have careened off the street and crashed through the cinder block wall into his backyard. Lopez estimates that about

the day before, and two were in the ICU. Cal Poly’s Recreation Center is under conversion into an alternate hospital site for the county, planned for use by next week with 400 to 700 beds. Volunteer medical and administrative professionals have pledged their time to assist as the peak of the local coronavirus infection is expected over the next 30 to 45 days. As of Tuesday, Paso Robles held the highest count of any city in the county, with 21. Followed by Atascadero with 14, and Arroyo Grande with 12. As agencies tally numbers, the accuracy of COVID-19 statistics inches closer to the truth. A recent report by Newsweek suggested that the death rate — the ratio of those who die from COVID-19 complications over the total of confirmed cases — might be much lower than initially expected. The lowering of the death rate is a result of more testing and better treatment of confirmed cases. Coronavirus spread from surrounding areas is still a concern. Still, shelter-at-home and physical distancing efforts are part of the solution as local officials work to flatten the curve and keep hospital resources available to those in urgent need. “I appreciate those who are changing the way they do business,” SLO County Emergency Services Officer Wade Horton said. “Shops that are moving online, restaurants that changed to delivery, and others who are showing entrepreneurial spirit.” The County and the State have issued orders, and those orders continue to constrict business-as-usual as defense against the spread of COVID-19. Enforcement of observation of shelter-at-home orders and nonessential business closures are becoming more strict around the county. “Food, medication, and cleaning supplies are essential,” Horton said. “It is critical we reduce nonessential retail storefronts where people gather ... we are doing this to save lives. We all have people in our lives over 65.” More information from the County can be found at readyslo.org.

six vehicles have demolished parts of the wall along the road in the several years that he lived there beginning in 2013. “The thing is now we are afraid to be in our backyard,” Lopez said. He continued, “the road is a 35 MPH road, and no one does 35 MPH, and I bet they’re over 50 and higher.” Lopez said that he fears for the safety of not only his family but also his neighbors and any pedestrians who use the sidewalk, including school children. Lopez said that he wants the City to develop a temporary safety measure to protect people while the City is in the process of creating a permanent solution even if it is unsightly. In the meantime, Athey said that the City repaired the wall and established
a small barrier to protect that specific portion of the wall. “We’ve provided a vehicle barrier right now just until we can come up with a long term solution at that location,” Athey said. The K-rail or Jersey Barrier, those concrete walls seen on highways, are designed to protect the surrounding environment while minimizing vehicle damage. A row of four K-rails have been placed on the street-facing side of Lopez’ backyard, providing temporary protection.
EVICTIONS CONTINUED FROM A1
dissenting. Councilmember Hamon asked Police Chief Ty Lewis if the moratorium was necessary or if the City was looking for work for its staff. Lewis said that both the City of San Luis Obispo and the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s department created a hotline to deal with complaints of people and businesses trying to evict people despite temporary protective laws already set in place. “No, we are not looking for work Councilman Hamon,” Lewis said. He continued, “They have received an influx of community members that are phoning in to report businesses and even neighbors in some cases for violating the order.” Lewis said that they have identified approximately 20 businesses in Paso Robles violating the State’s freeze on evictions. Lewis explained that the moratorium gives City staff the method to deal with people not abiding by the freeze. “It would start with a phone call or a quick visit to the business to make sure that they’re aware of the order or where they fall in hose categories of essential businesses so that we can progressively deal with this situation is they don’t want to be good neighbors,” Lewis said. The halt on evictions is part of the urgency ordinance affirming the orders of the Emergency Services Director and Public HealthOfficer of the County of San Luis Obispo Related to the COVID-19 State and Local Emergency. Hamon said that the City would be “looking for every cent” and that any loss of revenue during the pandemic is not recommended. He argued that that TOT is the City’s money and should be in City hands. He also said that the amount in question is not enough to make a large impact on businesses saying “to me, it’s not a whole lot of money.” Councilmember Fred Strong disagreed with Hamon saying the City has other resources it can use during the shelter in place, “we don’t have the impacts from tourism that we normally have.” Mayor Steve Martin also disagreed with Hamon saying that it is not wise to “kill the golden goose” by putting extra stress on the tourism industry that produces large sums for the City. Mayor said the move would “ensure revenue streams in the future.”

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Football Realignment, Condensed Back To Two Leagues Templeton, SLO in Mountain League, Atascadero in Ocean League
By CONNOR ALLEN SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — North SLO County Athletic Directors released fall football season schedules this week and everything looks quite a bit different as the 12 local teams have now condensed into only two leagues, the Mountain League and the Ocean League. It is the fourth league change in four years for the
local schools and it was decided in November via a vote by the league athletic directors. The two leagues will now include six teams each with the Mountain League (generally) holding the larger schools in the area while the Ocean League houses the smaller schools. However, this year the Mountain League will have a new face in Templeton Eagles who were voted into the Mountain League by a vote of 7-4-1 to the chagrin of many loyal fans in the green and white. “We are going to show up, we are going to play our butts off,” Templeton head coach Don Crow said about the move. “But it
is going to be a huge challenge for us.” The new Mountain League will contain Arroyo Grande, Paso Robles, Righetti, San Luis Obispo, St. Joseph and the Templeton Eagles. “I think it is hard with 12 teams because I think some of the smaller schools, like Templeton last year, have a great year and then things become a little tougher,” Paso Robles head coach Matt Carroll said. “But they are a good football team and Don Crow does a great job so that is a game I am not looking forward to, to tell you the truth.” The Eagles will open their season at home on Aug.28 when they host Madera South. They will then play the next four weeks starting at Liberty Madera before finishing the preseason home against Fillmore, West Bakersfield and Coalinga. The Eagles will begin their Mountain League schedule on Friday, Oct. 2 when they travel to St. Joseph. The Eagles’ first three league games will be on the road — af ter facing the Knights they will battle familiar opponent SLO, who also technically moved up two leagues, and then head to Righetti before finishing their regular season at home with games against Arroyo
Grande and Paso Robles. One notable name not on the list of Mountain League teams is the Atascadero Greyhounds who will play next season in the Ocean League with Mission Prep, Morro Bay, Nipomo, Pioneer Valley and Santa Maria. “It will be interesting, those three schools right there [Morro Bay, Mission Prep and Santa Maria] haven’t played those schools in a long time or ever during my tenure,” Atascadero head coach Vic Cooper said. “We have never played Mission in my time at Atascadero. It will be interesting but the goal will always be to win and end up back in the Mountain League.” Last season, North County fans got their first taste of an Atascadero and Paso Robles football game without league implications but it was still the last game of the season. This year the two rivals will play in mid September (Sept. 18 in Atascadero) for the first time. “I think there is going to be no love lost in that rivalry,” Coach Carroll said. “You know you see it in college football now where some of the biggest rivalries happen in the middle of the season or they aren’t quite the last game of the season. It is going to be interesting because usually we have nine films on what they have done this season and they have nine on us so I think it is just going to make it a little more chaotic and might even enhance the rivalry.” The Greyhounds will open their season with back-to-back road games down south as they play Buena and Newbury Park before a local non-league preseason games against SLO. The big rivalry game
will take place in week five against the Bearcats and then the Hounds will finish the preseason against Royal. Atascadero will play its first three league games on the road when they travel to Pioneer Valley, Mission Prep and Santa Maria and will end the season at home against Morro Bay and Nipomo. The biggest change in scheduling this season, however, might have come in Paso Robles where the Bearcats have taken some of the Division 1 juggernauts off their schedule in favor of some more manageable games. The Bearcats will open their season on the road against the Lompoc Braves, who they haven’t played since the 2015 season when Lompoc knocked the Bearcats out of the Southern Section playoffs, winning 35-34. The Bearcats will then host Bakersfield-Independance. In Week three, Paso Robles will travel to Pioneer Valley, in week four they play at Sunnyside before meeting up with the Hounds to end the preseason. Paso Robles will open up league play at SLO, play at home against Righetti and Arroyo Grande before closing out their season at St. Joseph and Templeton. “What I like about our schedule is that they are good teams, I think some of them might be above our weight class but we are going to try and punch up,” Carroll said. “They are games that are winnable and games that are manageable though unlike last year where some of the teams on the schedules — Paso Robles just wasn’t ready for that and we are ready for this schedule.”

MOVIE REVIEW
Streaming a Steaming Pile Tiger King offers a bewildering buffet of big cat world drama
COLUMNIST
T
heaters are closed, and new movie releases are in limbo. Since most of us are holed up watching shows that are streaming online, I thought, “Why not write about one of those?” As fate would have it, before my thoughts had even fully materialized, my son called and uttered the words that many of you have probably heard over the past few days. “You have got to watch Tiger King.” When I tried to have him nail down what it was about, he struggled, stating it was kind of a documentary, sort of a character study and kind of a murder mystery, before giving up and ending with, “You’ll just have to watch it for yourself.” I decided I’d bite (pun very much intended) and see what had him so intrigued. When my own father was flabbergasted and didn’t know what else to say he would shake his head and utter, “Goodness gracious, sakes alive.” After only one episode of “Tiger King” I could hear those very words ringing in my head. No wonder my son couldn’t verbalize what it was about. It defies description. Apparently, co-directors Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin started out intending to do some kind of expose’ revealing the exploitation of
5 Helpful Writing Tips to Get You Through
From North County Writing Support Group By PATRICIA ALEXANDER
I
love encouraging other writers, whether they write for publication or personal growth. Here are some practical tips from my experience:
Joe Exotic, a.k.a “Tiger King”
Chris Allen
WRITING SUPPORT GROUP
exotic animals being bred in private zoos across the country. However, the owners of the parks turned out to be such an amazing menagerie of ex-cons, con men, egoists, and opportunists that the story became about them. The tigers they exploited ended up functioning as a backdrop magnifying their need to feel powerful, rich, and influential. The story centers on Joe Exotic, a flamboyant breeder of tigers and owner of an exotic animal park in Oklahoma. He has indeed created his own kingdom, at its peak, a fortyacre world bringing in hundreds of thousands of dollars in tiger sales, cub petting payments, and entry fees. But kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, especially if the monarch begins to believe himself invincible, and Joe has big dreams and picks even bigger fights with any that don’t buy into his divinely-ordained status. As his resources run out and his enemies become too powerful, his bizarre journey intersects with many colorful characters including a cult-inspiring curator named “Doc” Antle, an ex-drug lord rumored to be the real-life “Scarface,” and an animal rights activist who inherited her tiger ranch after her millionaire husband mysteriously disappeared. We watch as Joe’s fights and ambitions gradually crumble his kingdom into nothing but an ignominious jail cell.
This is not a show that you sit down and watch with your kids. There is accidental death and dismemberment, gratuitous use of homemade country music video, polygamy, alleged murder, murder for hire, arson, drugs, guns, explosives, a presidential campaign — and that only scratches the surface of the events that continue to build over seven episodes. Astonishingly, there were cameras everywhere, constantly following Joe around, somehow capturing numerous unexpected events on film. While looking for an apt description of Netflix series, I found one online reporter compare it to “watching a slow-motion car crash, but only if that car crashed into a jet plane and then both tumbled into an oil tanker.” Yup, that about sums it up. Once the credits roll on the final episode, it is difficult to say if there is any redeeming value in watching Joe and other private zookeepers trapped in their own cages of insecurity, greed, and need for attention. For me, it was like opening a bag of chips, intending to just eat one or two, and then shamefully discovering I had eaten the whole bag. I felt a bit guilty, knowing I had caved so easily to the temptation. But I’ll tell you what. My mind was off of the newsfeeds describing the crazy world outside because the one on my screen turned out to be even crazier.

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. All checks payable to Prestige Default Services. 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 (714) 730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site https:// www.servicelinkasap.com/ default.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case 19-2862. 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.
