Local leaders make a significant impact as they in make decisions for SLO County By CONNOR ALLEN connor@pasoroblespress.com

alifornia Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order on March 19 for Californians to stay home except for those deemed ‘essential’ in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. For the last 33 consecutive days, the people of California have looked to their leaders for instruction and direction. In these unprecedented times, many people lead the community, from nurses and doctors risking their lives to fight the virus, employees of an essential business who show up every day to make sure the community has food and resources, as well as all the small businesses that have entirely changed their operating systems to

serve the county and their neighbors. But no two people have had a greater impact or a greater weight to carry than County Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein and County Administrative Officer and Director of Emergency Services Wade Horton. Together, Horton and Borenstein played a significant role in making decisions for SLO County — like sheltering at home and the closing of local businesses that have impacted every person in this community — and it’s not something that they have taken lightly. “I can say it was the most difficult decision I have ever made in my life,” Horton told The Atascadero News and The Paso Robles Press in an interview on Saturday. “And probably will be the most difficult decision I make in my life. I knew what the impact would be, or I thought I

knew what the impact would be and making that decision, I am just trying to do the right thing for what we need. Every day I am making a lot of decisions, and every day I make those decisions based off of the information I have and how I can do right by the community. It is a very humbling spot to be in.” Horton has served not only this county but also his country with 15 years of service in the reserves, including time overseas and was unanimously voted by the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors to be the newest San Luis Obispo County Administrative Officer in November 2017. His counterpart Borenstein has a strong resume as well. “I have a nearly 30-year career of doing this work,” Dr. Borenstein said, who has spent time working in public

Communities around California demand action plans from leadership

PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles Downtown Main Street Association continues to support and encourage businesses during the COVID-19 Pandemic. For over 30 years, the organization has helped transform Paso Robles’ downtown into a thriving economic success. The association not only supports shops, boutiques, restaurants, and many locally owned businesses that generate sales tax revenue for the City but has supported the downtown development into a tourist destination. Now with the shelter at home orders, the association continues to offer its services to the

LEGO® Masters show inspires young builders to push their imagination By NICHOLAS MATTSON

he first season of the new FOX show Lego® Masters ended on Wednesday, April 15 with an epic battle between three highly skilled teams in a winner-takeall contest for $100,000. The first season of the new FOX show LEGO® Masters ended on Wednesday, April 15 with an epic battle between three highly skilled teams in a winner-take-all contest for $100,000. The season was filled with nine episodes of unexpected, imaginative builds spawned from the minds of oversized, overgrown children — it was totally fun to watch. “They created whatever they wanted,” Mirac Mattson said. “My favorite was Mark and Boone built a whole structure for art and other stuff. It was the 10th challenge.” The best part though, is how our boys responded. Mirac, 7, and Max, 5, both loved the show. The episodes aired at 9 p.m. on Wednesdays and they would wait every week for Thursday to watch the next episode. “We had to read a book for 30 minutes before we could watch the show,” Max said. The boys would watch the show with a pile of Lego® (yes,

COUNTY READIES REOPENING PLAN

Good Reads for Shelter-at-Home By HAYLEY MATTSON

s we continue to walk through this pandemic and try to find rhyme or rhythm to our days, I find comfort in escaping in a good book. I have always loved reading; a book in my hand and a quiet place, whether it be on the beach or in a comfy chair, seemed to be the perfect setting. However, as busy as we all are, I have found over the last few years that magical setting is hard to come by, so for me, I turn to Audible these days. I appreciate different points of view, values, topics, stories, and authors. The following are some of the ones in my library that I have truly enjoyed, learned from, and recommend in no particular order. "Gift of the Sea" by Anne Morrow Lindbergh This 1955 classic has been my go-to summer read for many years. Anne shares her reflection on a life well-loved, and the lessons she has learned. Her perspective about being a woman and the importance of taking care of yourself, following your passions, independence, loving your husband and family is timeless. Appreciation for the quiet and the chaotic moments and cherish everything in between. "The Moment of Lift" by Melinda Gates Melinda takes us on a very personal, humble, and powerful journey into her life and her philanthropic work through the Gates Foundation. She introduces us to some of the incredible people around the world that have inspired her and her mission to empower women. Melinda's take on feminism and equality (human equality) is refreshing and optimistic. "The Ones We've Been Waiting For" by Charlotte Alter Charlotte gives us a youthful perspective on the new generation of politicians and the life events that impacted and shaped who they are today. It is an insightful look into some of our current young leaders and why they chose to run for office. Whether you agree or disagree with the author it is a call to action to get involved if you want to see change and be the change you are seeking. "Stephen King, On Writing" by Stephen King A unique look into the mind of Steven King, through his own words. He shares an intimate look into his life, struggles with addiction, marriage, family, and his love for writing that started as a young boy. This personalized teaching is an inspiration for those who love to write, feel the urge to write, or have a story to tell. King makes you feel like he wrote this just for you. "The Year of Magical Thinking" by Joan Didion A beautiful, honest look at life after loss. The author shares her thoughts, memories, and feelings as she walks through the death of her husband of forty years and caring for an ill adult child. As Joan grieves, she reflects on their journey together as a family and the importance of living and appreciating a life well experienced and loved. "Talking to Strangers" by Malcolm Gladwell In this book, Malcolm walks us through his unique perspective on how people communicate and interact with one another, key focus on strangers. He gives his opinion and insight into some of the cases and stories that have made headlines across the world. A bit controversial but challenges the way of thinking whether you agree or disagree with his theories.

Framework to be presented to the public next week By NICHOLAS MATTSON

he county is beginning to move forward on reopening plans for the local community, while the state works on general guidelines. San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Lynn Compton spoke at Monday’s public briefing and reported the shelter-at-home order is shifting from the concept of "essential services," toward a broader definition that determines if a business can safely operate. Four areas in the current shift for reopening include non-urgent health care, dog grooming, and animal services, recreational fishing activity, and the construction industry — notably, the opening of County and City planning and permitting departments.

relax some of the current restrictions in place, in phases and with medical oversight,” Compton said. Madonna Enterprises CEO Clint Pierce joined the briefing and represented REACH as the lead agency cooperating with county officials in drafting the plan. “I know first hand how hard this has been,” Pierce said. “This great sacrifice has been effective. Over the course of the next week, we are focused on a phased reopening of the county. This is a Herculean effort that would take 12 months and we are doing it in two weeks.” The County’s top health official, Penny Borenstein, provides medical oversight on all aspects of the plan and progress to ensure the health of the community is maintained during the recovery. She reported that nearly 900 patients

We are working on a plan to safely relax some of the current restrictions in place, in phases and with medical oversight ~ Lynn Compton, SLO County Supervisor

“We did not initially wait for the state when we put in place our local order, and it was the right thing to do for our community,” Compton said. “We are not waiting now on this ‘phased approach’ to reopening.” The actions by the local community are somewhat independent of the progress of the entire state. Although state orders require certain actions by the local government, the county is offered latitude in making some local decisions based on local factors. “Today, we have achieved what we set out to do,” Compton said, “and that was to flatten the curve and open the alternative care site [at Cal Poly].” The current and recent history of low numbers of COVID-19 cases are a factor in the science-based decision making the county is relying on to begin steps toward reopening. “We are working on a plan to safely

had been tested at the public health lab, that about 400 tests were done last week at private-sector labs — leading her to believe private sector labs are testing at a rate of three times that of the public lab. “We have the components in place to turn the dial up on this phased reopening,” Borenstein said, stating that the plan is careful, controlled, and safe. As a part of the first phase of reopening, elective surgery is included. “The term ‘elective’ surgery is a little misleading,” Borenstein said. “Someone who needs a knee replacement or has an abscess may not consider it ‘elective,’ and more accurately it may be considered non-urgent, or non-emergent surgery.” In addition, animal services, both mobile and in-house animal service, have been adopted under “essential services,” according to Borenstein, meaning they are now allowed to operate. Fishing activities and fishing supplies are consid-

ered safe and fall under recreational fishing allowance. The average number of cases in SLO County over the last 14 days is about 2.5 daily cases, below five, which the County holds as a threshold for concern. “We have been flat for about three weeks,” Borenstein said. “We have done a really great job.” Borenstein described reopening as a fluid operation of gradual progress, and that the County will operate “in the moment” as results dictate. “When I say ‘in the moment,’ it doesn’t mean if we have one bad day we will go back into hibernation,” Borenstein said, “But we a doing much better than neighboring counties and other communities around the country and then world.” As local County agencies prepare the plan, local elected officials penned a letter to state officials requesting authority to put the plan into action. “The letter said that SLO County has done a really great job and we are ready to take the reins,” County Administrative Officer Wade Horton said. “I think the timing of this letter is very appropriate. We are ready to move forward. We are ready to work our plan.” While emotions around the country, state, and locally have run high in anxiety to get the economy and life back on track, Horton assured those concerned that decisions around reopening will not be made based on emotion. “We are looking at science and making science-based decisions,” Horton said. As the plan to reopen begins to shape, there is not just a one-way road ahead. If care is not taken to ensure cases remain flat, restrictions may be reinstated. “It is an extremely important point that we are not ‘flipping the switch’ on this,” Borenstein said, “we will continue surveillance on this and track contacts.” State requirements for local decisions for reopening include certain frameworks and safeguards that the County is responsible to provide. According to Borenstein, all the factors needing considerations are met and planned for. “We have our testing in place, and our epidemiology framework is in place,” Borenstein said, “[healthcare workers] said they feel we have all the PPE [personal protective equipment] we need going forward. Our plan will always have an eye on if things get worse, and contingency in place.”

Central Coast Economic Relief Efforts Begin Online hub connects residents, businesses to economic relief and recovery resources STAFF REPORT

ommunities and households across the Central Coast are facing severe economic hardships as we try to overcome this COVID-19 crisis, and economic relief is on the way. Local public and private leaders from both San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties have come together as an informal coalition to provide economic relief. Resources as a result of this work can be found at RecoverCentralCoast.org. “Local employers have had to furlough or lay off workers, and residents are struggling to make ends meet,” said Wade Horton, County of San Luis Obispo’s Administrative Officer and Emergency Services Director. “But we are resilient, and we will get through these difficult economic challenges together.” The County of San Luis Obispo and REACH, formerly The Hourglass Project, are leading a regional economic relief effort in partnership with cities, chambers, and community partners. RecoverCentralCoast.org is the first step the coalition is taking in working together to bring economic relief and recovery to the region. The website, which helps centralize and simplify access to economic relief resources region-wide, is being developed by local governments, Chambers of Commerce, Visit SLO CAL, Economic Vitality Corporation, higher educa-

tion, local Workforce Development Boards, and local businesses. “We are one region, and we need to have one united voice, one coordinated response to the significant challenges facing the lives and livelihood of the people of the Central Coast,” said REACH CEO Melissa James. “The first of many actions of this coalition is to bring access to economic relief resources all in one place” RecoverCentralCoast.org is a dynamic tool being developed by a network of public and private partners. It will make available the most relevant information and resources for our local employers and workforce and currently includes tax relief resources, information about State and Federal stimulus funding, workforce training resources and local job opportunities. With new developments every day, this team will continuously monitor, evaluate and streamline resources to make them available in a central location. CENTRAL COAST ECONOMIC RELIEF CONTACTS “Local employers have had to furlough or lay off workers, and residents are struggling to make ends meet.

We Are Not All in the Same Boat. . .

HAYLEY MATTSON CO-PUBLISHER

ay, 35, Shelter-at-Home, but who is counting. As we continue to live our life through what has turned out to be the year of the Coronavirus and our sixth week of economic uncertainty, we slowly start to place one foot at a time onto the sand beneath us that sways with the ocean tides. This once firm foundation now changes on a daily basis and remains somewhat a mystery of what is still to come. And although we are all deeply impacted by this health crisis, and experiencing some level of apprehension, pressure, tension, and stress. It is imperative that we also remember, we are all in this together; however, we are not all traveling in the same boat. That is an interesting perspective if you stop and think about it. But what does it mean, and why is it important to remember? The sentiment allows you to remain open, humble, and grateful. Open to the understanding that we are all facing our own worst and best days and, at times, have no

idea how to respond or function. Humble, to the notion that things will and must get better, they may not look like what you expected or would have approved. Nonetheless, you have people, friends, and a community that will stand with you and offer support, but you do have to ask. Grateful for the little things that may have been a burden at one time or another, now offer the joy of familiarity and stability. Each of these, however, can always be followed with a counterproductive response as well. That is where the remembrance of the understanding that we are not all in the same boat, resonates the most. “To get over one’s self is an act of courage, love, and understanding,” I read many years ago. It is truer today than it was then. It takes courage to recognize that your challenges, maybe someone else’s best day. You have love to offer in your own way, no matter what level it may be on. Understanding that this too shall pass, and in the meantime, offer someone help. We all should give ourselves and others some grace, love, and patience. For none of us have been through anything like this before. We are all doing the best we can, but that does not give us a pass to take out our fears or frustrations on others. In these trying times, we can choose to accept that we will all respond differently, and that is okay. That is what makes our world so special and unique, and that is not something that will ever change no matter what we are going through. Accept others for where they are at, be kind, and gentle. As we start to emerge from this pandemic, this is the

time we all need each other the most. So even though we may not be traveling in the same boat, if you need a life vest, paddle, jacket, or some food, we will be here. We will be sure to listen, not to judge, and we humbly ask for the same in return. We Are Not All in the Same Boat… I heard that we are all in the same boat, but it’s not like that. We are in the same storm, but not in the same boat. Your ship could be shipwrecked, and mine might not be. Or vice versa. For some, quarantine is optimal. A moment of reflection, of re-connection, easy in flip flops, with a cocktail or coffee. For others, this is a desperate financial & family crisis. For some that live alone, they’re facing endless loneliness. While for others, it is peace, rest & time with their mother, father, sons & daughters. With the $600 weekly increase in unemployment, some are bringing in more money to their households than they were working. Others are working more hours for less money due to pay cuts or loss in sales. Some families of 4 just received $3400 from the stimulus, while other families of 4 saw $0. Some were concerned about getting a certain candy for Easter, while others were concerned if there would be enough bread, milk, and eggs for the weekend. Some want to go back to work because they don’t qualify for unemployment and are

running out of money. Others want to kill those who break the quarantine. Some are home spending 2-3 hours/day helping their child with online schooling while others are spending 2-3 hours/day to educate their children on top of a 10-12-hour workday. Some have experienced the near-death of the virus; some have already lost someone from it and some are not sure if their loved ones are going to make it. Others don’t believe this is a big deal. Some have faith in their God and expect miracles during this 2020. Others say the worst is yet to come. So, friends, we are not in the same boat. We are going through a time when our perceptions and needs are completely different. Each of us will emerge, in our own way, from this storm. It is very important to see beyond what is seen at first glance. Not just looking, actually seeing. See beyond the political party, beyond biases, beyond the nose on your face. Do not underestimate the pain of others if you do not feel it. Do not be judge the good life of one; do not condemn the bad life of another. Let us not judge the one who lacks, as well as the one who exceeds. We are all on different ships during this storm, experiencing a very different journey. Let everyone navigate their own route with respect, empathy, and responsibility. ~ Unknown author

Kindness and Care

LYNNE SCHMITZ

COMMENTARY

t was certainly a different kind of holiday without big gatherings and traditions of enjoying Easter together. But the inspired Virtual Easter Egg Hunt made a lot of people smile. San Miguel neighborhoods sprouted imaginative and colorful eggs as did many neighborhoods, some around the world! It was fun to see them on Facebook. I’m thankful for social media, which allows us to attend church and keep up with our families and friends. Our daughter-in-law in

San Jose watched the Easter service live-streamed from her hometown church in Germany. And we saw pictures of our grandchildren making Easter crafts and then hunting the eggs they colored the days before. Gabriel and Zoey made big papier-mache eggs to put in their covered front porch for the Virtual hunt. Great-grandson Andrew in Virginia showed off his trove of Easter goodies, and little Nicholas in New Mexico was dressed to the nines for his first egg hunt on their back patio. But I think I’ve gained some weight just admiring the luscious foods displayed by people who are spending their downtime in the kitchen. San Miguel businesses are trying to keep going, so if you can, please support them. The San Miguel Mercantile store closed for the duration, but they have a good supply of gardening needs, including Baker Creek, Peaceful Valley, and Territorial Seeds, Peaceful Valley amendments, and potting soil and

Black Diamond Vermicompost. Call Mike with your order at 805-7129120 and they’ll deliver curbside. They also sell American carports. Manny’s Pizza is at 805-4672300, with Manny, his wife and daughter taking care of business. Call Taco Mafia at 805-467-5700 for take-outs. Call Dos Hermanos at 805-4672460 for take-outs. The San Miguel Market and Deli and Mission Market and Deli are both open with groceries and food to take out. Dollar General is open and observing guidelines for safe shopping. San Miguel Flouring Mill is open regular hours for feed and seed needs at 805-467-3287. However, Leo’s Café will be closed until April 25. It is certainly a different way of life right now, but with neighbors helping neighbors, we will weather this storm with kindness and care.

Tribalism, Nuclear Energy, Climate Change, and All That Jazz

RAY WEYMANN

COMMENTARY

s of this writing, we’re still in a global health crisis, not knowing what the final toll of lost lives and suffering will be. A silver lining for me has been the thoughtfulness of friends and neighbors. However, I’ve realized that most of them share my political and social values. But caring for one another isn’t a monopoly of liberals or conservative. Instead, it’s a sad commentary on our increasing polarization and separation into “tribes,” preventing honest discussion. Why has this worsened? One reason is our separate news sources. My tribe watches mostly MSNBC and CNN. With conservatives, its Fox News, while decades ago, nearly everyone watched Cronkite or Huntley/Brinkley. Opinions reflect political outlooks, but there must be some factual commonality to reach solutions on important issues. This is especially true of scientific information, brought into sharp focus by covid19. Medical experts don’t know everything, but they know more than politicians about the virus. Dismissal of scientific expertise is harmful and, in the case of covid19, dangerous.

Excellent covid19 information specifically for Californians is available at tinyurl.com/ttm4c2s. (Copy and paste this and subsequent links into your browser or, read this commentary as essay number 27 at centralcoastclimatescience. org with “live” links.) For most other scientific issues, reports from the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), of which I am proud to be a member, are authoritative and objective. Breaking with one’s tribal beliefs takes courage. Whether you agreed with his impeachment vote or not, Senator Mitt Romney demonstrated such courage. Let’s look at some examples of “tribal beliefs” of liberals and conservatives. THE LIBERAL TRIBE My liberal tribe isn’t immune to ‘tribal beliefs,’ even on scientific issues. Generally, it opposes ‘GMOs’ (genetically modified organisms), but the NAS finds no significant health risk to humans and finds net benefits to global food supply and nutrition. Please read tinyurl.com/yx2yg5u7. GMOs can be misused, but as former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz observed, “a problem which can be managed doesn’t mean it will be managed.” But don’t, therefore, dismiss the benefits of GMO technology. Another example is nuclear energy. During a panel discussion about climate change, it was suggested that nuclear energy has a role to play. A member of my tribe took vehement exception. But some prominent climate scientists, equally concerned about climate change, believe it does. Please read this interview with climate scientist Kerry Emanuel: tinyurl.com/ujz7p9z since I cannot succinctly summarize it. Some in my tribe reference Stanford’s Mark Jacobson, whose clean energy plan has no nuclear component: tinyurl.com/wwkz9zt. However, I agree with

Emanuel that Jacobson’s proposal involves many ‘ifs,’ technical and political. Nuclear energy involves a ‘subtribe’ within my liberal tribe, having an equally insistent position that we must place very heavy reliance on nuclear energy, their avatar being Michael Shellenberger: tinyurl.com/vhlwx8h. Some in this subtribe assert that promotion of solar energy is a ploy by the fossil fuel industry to promote gas-fired electricity generation. From a risk management perspective, one must multiply two numbers: a very small number (the probability of serious outcomes) by a very large number (the damaging consequences of such events,) both numbers being highly uncertain. Climate change is a global problem with no single global solution. What works in nuclear-powered France isn’t advisable for nations with unstable governments and poorly trained technicians. I support the rapid development of “Generation IV” reactors, which have significant advantages in safety, proliferation, waste disposal, and cost over current designs. An example of a political belief of my tribe asserts that “Trump has done nothing right.” While tariffs on China were not the right strategy, he was correct in confronting China’s disregard of intellectual property rights and other trade abuses. THE CONSERVATIVE TRIBE The obvious scientific example of conservative tribalism is denial of human-caused climate change. Even as the evidence becomes overwhelming, most conservatives continue to deny it. Please download this excellent non-technical report from the National Academy of Sciences, tinyurl.com/yx3y79va. Some political traits of the conservative tribe

are: Opposition to nearly all attempts to reduce gun violence and blind defense of all Trump’s statements, no matter how false or outrageous. While Washington Governor Jay Inslee was desperately dealing with his state’s horrendous covid19 outbreak, President Trump called him a “snake.” That’s indefensible. So are his recent tweets encouraging demonstrations against Democratic Governors following the advice of their medical experts to curtail the virus. What conservatives will display the courage to break with their tribe and condemn such language? Other conservative tribal beliefs oppose co-operating with international entities like the World Health Organization, which the Chinese initially misled about the severity of the viral outbreak. But in his continual blame-shifting, Trump’s withdrawal of WHO funding is cruel and ill-advised. Another conservative belief opposes essential roles for the federal government. But I’m not aware of any conservative refusing some of its two trillion dollars. Can we overcome tribalism and find common ground on which to solve urgent problems? I had hoped the pandemic would overcome tribalism. But the recent example of the Wisconsin legislature’s action in forcing an election and putting assumed political advantage above public health showed how naive that hope was. Still, we must try if we are to preserve a functioning democracy. One suggestion is for citizens of goodwill, both conservatives, and liberals, to meet together with a facilitator over meals to explore ways of bridging the divide and restoring civility to our nation. Those willing to try, please, contact me at tinyurl.com/yd78v68k. Happy Earth Day.

Barbie Butz COLUMNIST

As you know, I have turned to sharing recipes with you while there are no events, concerts, galas, etc., to write about, due to the coronavirus. Last week I sent out Jeannie Malik’s Carrot Cake recipe and it looks like I had a typo.” EEEK! That’s a huge fear I have when typing recipes. So, please change the required amount of buttermilk to ¾ cup...(NOT 2/4 cup!). I had another Zoom meeting this week and I feel like I am learning as I go. I realized that I do not have a camera on my computer and neither do I have a microphone. However, I was able to call a number on the phone and get to a point that I could hear and see the other board members of the Printery Foundation, and they could hear me via the phone connection. Maybe next time they

will be able to see me, too. I spoke with Michelle Velasco this morning and I laughed until tears formed in my eves when she shared her account of the first time she grocery shopped with her bandanna mask on. She said her glasses fogged, her mask slipped down, and her face got sweaty. She tried to re-position her mask only to have it slip down again and again. When she retied it, she caught her hair in the knot and could not release it. I told her that my experience involved my ears being forced forward which caused my inability to keep my hearing aids positioned over the top of my ears. Instead, the aids just dangled there. I was so hot from breathing into the fabric that I cut my shopping short and headed home! I know it’s really not a funny matter, but somehow I felt better after sharing the experience and laughing about it with Michelle. We both agreed that we have a deep appreciation for those on the front lines who must wear a mask all day! Michelle sent the following recipe for a beer marinade for chicken, pork or beef.

Black Beer Marinade Michelle Velasco, Atascadero

Ingredients and directions using a food processor or blender: 6 green onions 6 peeled cloves of garlic 1/3 cup soy sauce ¼ cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons oil 4 teaspoons coriander seeds, crushed until smooth 12 ounces Guiness Black lager Marinate chicken, pork or beef for 3 hours The Velasco’s son, Jonathan, owns Colony Tavern in Atascadero which is temporarily closed due to the health crisis. The family is hopeful that the Tavern will be able to open again soon. Their message to everyone is to “stay safe and stay well.” Another Atascadero friend, Sheila Noyes, sent this next recipe for salmon loaf. I told her it really brought back memories. My mother made her salmon loaf in a ring mold and served it with white sauce. She filled the center of the loaf with peas.

Salmon Loaf Sheila Noyes, Atascadero

Ingredients: 2 cups well-drained canned Salmon (Red Sockeye is excellent) ½ cup fresh bread crumbs 4 tablespoons melted buttermilk 2 eggs, well beaten 1 ½ tablespoons minced onion 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce ½ teaspoon hot sauce (Tabasco) Salt and pepper Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 1-quart loaf pan. Combine the fish, bread crumbs, butter, eggs, onion, parsley and sauces. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and pour into loaf pan. Bake approximately 30-35 minutes. Serve with a package of Knorr Hollandise sauce mix. The sauce cooks in 5 minutes when combined with butter and milk. Follow package directions. If you have a recipe to share, send it to barbiewb@hotmail.com

Computer Cowboys

Lee Pitts

COLUMNIST

I had an interesting conversation with a guy who said he was an “emerging technology specialist.” Or, was it “emerging technology officer?” Anyway, I do remember him specifically telling me that I’d better start getting in line for welfare and food stamps because I’d soon be replaced by a computer. “Really?” I replied. “You think a computer can write a semi-humorous humor column?” “Trust me,” he said, “if they can make a computer that will drive a car, steer a rocket into space or vacuum your carpet they can make one to replace the senseless dribble you write. You do know that already there are computer linguistic engineering programs to correct your spelling and grammar and rewrite poorly written sentences?” “Yeah, I know. I once ran a column I wrote through one of

those computer programs and it said I was writing for an audience at the eighth grade level!” With my knees knocking and my heart palpitating I asked the emerging technology specialist, “How long do you think I have?” “A year, at most. You’re already on life support,” he said. “I just read a book, for example, that was written entirely by a computer.” “You’re kidding me? Was it any good?” I asked. “No. But that’s not the point. Neither is most of the stuff in bookstores now. The point is, no industry is safe from the computers and robots.” “I know. I never thought that there’d be a machine to pick wine grapes or mow a person’s lawn. And I never would have ever believed in a million years they could make a computer-driven robot to milk a cow!” “Any farmer or rancher,” he said, “that is having a hard time finding labor now will either buy a computer/robot to do the job, or cease to produce that crop. It’s that simple.” “Wow. You’re really smart. I bet your services must be very much in demand. But I know one occupation that’s safe: the cowboy. You can’t tell me,” I said, “that

a computer will ever pull a calf, build fence, castrate bulls, get into the mind of a colt, fix a spur strap, shoe a horse, out think a cow, train a cow dog, give a vaccination or put a prolapse back in and sew it up with a needle, leather punch and some whang leather. And I doubt that calves will voluntarily load themselves on a cattle truck or sit down on a hot iron to brand themselves.” “I wouldn’t be so sure if I were you,” said the emerging technology specialist. “You do know that computers are already grading carcasses? I’ve no doubt the scientists will come up with water troughs that tell a manager back at headquarters when a ball valve is broken, or there is no water in the tank. Just as helicopters are now being used to gather cattle in some instances, I’m sure there will be drones that will do the same thing. It’s quite easy to imagine a computer system where computers open and close gates to sort cattle.” “You sure are intelligent,” I said. “What was it you said you do?” “I’m an emerging technology specialist.” “You must make a lot of money and have a corner office in a tall building somewhere.”

“I do all right,” said the blushing emerging technology specialist.” “I guess I’d better start looking for another job,” I said, downhearted. We parted ways and I spent a lot of time thinking about what the emerging technology specialist said. That is, until we accidentally ran into the smart guy recently when we were shopping in a big chain drugstore that shall go nameless. There standing by the self-checkout lines was the emerging technology specialist. “Hey, how are you doing? Remember me?” I asked. “What are you doing here?” “This is where I work,” he mumbled and looked dejectedly at the ground as if he’d been caught stealing money from the plate in church. “I help people if they have trouble in the self checkout line.” And sure enough, that’s what it said on his name tag, “Emerging Technology Specialist.” “Wow, this is not what I imagined. Tell me, do you like your job?” “It’s all right. I get minimum wage and it’s part time, but it does leave me plenty of time to play video games.”

about this pool is what it represents in our community: it’s community built with an emphasis on meeting the needs of kids and families,” Bittle said.

COUNTY GUIDANCE

SAFE, PHASED REOPENING OF SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES BEGINNING Elective surgery, construction, dog grooming and recreational fishing can safely resume

STAFF REPORT

ounty officials clarified today activities that can safely operate under the County’s Executive Order to Shelter at Home and within the legal framework of the statewide Executive Order to Stay Home Except for Essential Needs. In reviewing the County’s Order and interpreting the State’s Order, County officials identified business sectors that can operate under the County and State Orders. These include non-urgent surgery and outpatient practice, construction, dog grooming and recreational fishing. In each case, participants

must follow the County’s appropriate physical distancing, face covering and protective personal equipment (PPE) guidelines, which are in line with the CDC and CDPH guidelines. “Our community can be proud that we have flattened the curve together”, County Health Officer, Dr. Penny Borenstein said. “We are now working together to develop a phased reopening plan.” Non-urgent surgery will resume in the coming weeks as Dr. Borenstein provided approval to move forward with non-urgent surgeries when hospitals are ready. In consultation with County Planning Direc-

tor, Trevor Keith, all construction may move forward and the County will resume issuing of building permits. Pet grooming, both mobile and in-house, fall under essential animal care and may resume following the guidance of County Animal Services Manager, Eric Anderson. Recreational fishing, via personal boat and/or rented boats and private charters are allowed. Fishing suppliers may conduct sales through curbside pickup or deliver/shipping. “This is a first step that reflects the County’s legal authority and the current situation with COVID-19 here in SLO County,” said County Administrative Officer and Emer-

gency Services Director, Wade Horton. “We are eager to reopen our community and we are committed to doing so in a way that is safe and is consistent with the powers we have at the County level.” County officials will continue to provide guidance consistent with the statewide order as long as it remains in effect. For updates and questions on COVID-19 in SLO County, visit ReadySLO.org or call the recorded Public Health Information Line at (805) 788-2903, or staffed phone assistance center at (805) 543-2444, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends.

LEADER’S LETTER

SLO County Leaders Pen ‘Reopen’ Letter to State ‘Roadmap for Reopening’ slated to be presented this week

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) and a bipartisan coalition of San Luis Obispo County elected leaders sent a letter to the Governor asking for a sciencebased, phased reopening of the local economy with the guidance of local public health officials. The letter asks Governor Gavin Newsom for permission to implement the SLO County Roadmap for Reopening, a phased reopening plan slated to be unveiled by the county later this week that includes a robust testing regimen and follows both State and Federal reopening guidelines. “According to the L.A. Times, more than 2.5 million Californians have filed for unemployment over the past month, and an economist has predicted a statewide unemployment rate near 20% within the next month,” states the letter. “A prolonged recession is likely and becomes likelier each day we keep workers from making a living.” The letter goes on to describe what types of public health risks exist during a prolonged recession, including an increase in the mortality rate, domestic violence, child abuse and

neglect, and chronic stress. “According to a report by Harvard Public Health, recessions (and unemployment, in general) cause higher levels of chronic stress, which itself can give individuals a higher risk of heart disease, acute sleep deprivation, depression, decreased response to vaccines and an increase in smoking and drinking alcohol. One social science study links high unemployment levels to higher ~ Excerpt mortality rates, while another concludes that “economic uncertainty … had direct effects on the risk of [child] abuse or neglect[.]’ Yet another social science study linked high unemployment rates during the Great Recession to an increase in domestic violence, and we are seeing evidence of this in our communities already.”

Without the Governor relaxing the statewide March 19 Safer-at-Home executive order, San Luis Obispo County cannot reopen its economy and get people back to work. San Luis Obispo County was one of the first counties to issue a Saferat-Home order. The county has also taken the extraordinary step of developing its own 165-bed Alternative Care S ite, with the capacity to from letter rapidly scale to 931 beds if necessary. As a result of this early action and the collective sacrifice made by small businesses, workers and families to comply with the Safer-atHome order, San Luis Obispo County has seen only 130 COVID-19 cases, with 111 fully recovered. “We’ve asked a great deal of county residents in the past month, and they

We need to move to the next phase, which is economic recovery.

JOHN PRICE ROSE 1929 – 2020

ohn Price Rose passed away 4/13/20, at 91 years of age, with Dorothy (his wife) and much of his family nearby. He lived a long and full life which started in Elkhart Indiana as the son of a Methodist minister who he almost followed into the ministry. He was an Eagle Scout, went to University of Pacific, fell in love with and married a California Girl (and kept married for 69 years), served in the Air Force, received his masters at Stanford and became

have risen to the challenge. We’ve asked businesses to risk permanent closure, and to layoff beloved employees. Workers have been laid off without much in the bank to get by,” states the letter. “We’ve asked families to avoid seeing friends and loved ones. We’ve asked kids not to go to school or play sports. “We have asked our residents to take these desperate measures because of the unique risks posed to the broader community by this virus so that we can flatten the curve and allow our healthcare capacity to catch up. “Now we need to move to the next phase, which is economic recovery.” The letter is signed by: • A ssemblyman Jordan Cunningham • San Luis Obispo County Supervisor John Peschong • San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Debbie Arnold • A rroyo Grande Mayor Caren Ray Russom • A tascadero Mayor Heather Moreno • G rover Beach Mayor Jeff Lee • Paso Robles Mayor Steve Martin • Pismo Beach Mayor Ed Waage • Morro Bay Mayor John Headding • San Luis Obispo Mayor Heidi Harmon

a teacher/administrator in Costa Mesa, Atascadero (principal @ the high school from 1967-71) and Hollister. He founded the competitive swim team in Hollister which is still here, was a faithful (and very active) member of a Church community wherever he lived. All should be encouraged by the example of this man, my dad, who put others as a priority and actually practiced what he believed over the long haul. He dug in and got his hands dirty serving, his community staying faithful year after year, living a life of commitment that he has passed onto generations left behind to emulate the best they can.

TODAY’S SENIOR Good News • Real News • Your Hometown News

Making a Smooth Transition into Senior Living to age, and we are all going to have to prepare for our can’t thank the changing needs. Atascadero News publishMany years ago, I was ers enough for providing having a conversation with me an opportunity to write my father about a suitable a series of articles for the career. We discussed the Senior Section of the newsimportance of work you can paper. Starting the conversa- do for a lifetime. Something tion about life’s transitions for with purpose, flexibility and seniors has become a passion an opportunity for growth for me. I am excited to share in the future. One of the with our readers a variety of career paths we spoke about subjects to while transitioning was Real Estate. I followed into a new stage of life. It that path beginning 34 years is inevitable we are all going ago. That journey gave me By JOANNE PETERS

the flexibility to work as I was raising a family, and it gave me an opportunity to learn the many aspects of the business, from Managing several new home developments in the area to Appraising property and building my own clientele of satisfied home buyers and sellers. About 6 years ago, I was being tugged by the “purpose” of my career. At that time, I had already dealt with the loss of both parents and had engaged in all the work it entailed to

close up their estate. Once I had a moment to breath, I realized that I could help others going through the same situation from my experiences. Starting in 2014, I became a Senior Real Estate Specialist, then a Senior Move Manager and most recently a Certified Senior Housing Professional. In the last 6 years, my passion for helping seniors and their families experience a Smooth Transition was and is the “purpose” I have been looking for. The series of articles that I have planned for you will inspire you to take a look at your next stage of life and how you want to live it. Each time I hope to open our hearts and find the compassion for those of us who are on this journey of life, called aging. This column is also for our children and grandchildren so they can help their aging relatives and perhaps learn some cool tips for their own futures. Let’s start our conversations learning about the History of aging and learn what has worked and what has changed over time. Next time, we’ll look at the most populated generation of today’s society: Baby Boomers and what they are facing today. (I’ve also got some information on how other countries and generations have mastered or not… the aging process.) It will be important to look at some of our Living Options once we

decide where we want to live and how. We will look at the many resources that are available to help make that a reality. We might even explore how our emotions can lead us into a positive or a negative decision about relocating to a safer environment as we age. A few other topics will we will explore: the long-delayed project of Downsizing, Your Legacy, and the benefits of Socialization vs Isolation. I hope you will enjoy this series and feel free to send me your comments or other suggested topics you would like to explore in the future. My email address is: joanne@ centralcoastsenior.com or you can find me at Malik Real Estate (805) 466-2540. Each month I will leave you with a resource or two that might help you on your own journey. I’d like to leave you with this an interesting perspective from TEDx Cal Poly 2020: “Too often in life we become accustomed to our everyday habits and routines. We forget the importance of expanding our minds and broadening our perspectives. Each day we encounter people who have the ability to teach us something new and exciting – we simply need to be willing to take it all in Once we open our minds to the information and expand our horizons, the possibilities of what we can become are endless.” Till next time … Joanne Peters

REOPENING CONTINUED FROM A1

better approach. If you follow the current thought process, we are stuck indoors until we have a vaccine.” As communities begin the process of reopening, loosening restrictions is on everybody’s minds. Ventura County reopened beaches, parks and certain businesses, and groups of up to five people are currently considered safe. Jacksonville, Fla. reopened beaches to relatively large crowds and plenty of criticism. As the idea of enjoying life returns, the plan to reopen remains hazy for local residents. In regular updates, SLO County Administrative Officer Wade Horton and County Health Officer Penny Borenstein have expressed cautious optimism about the reopening of the economy and community. In coordination with a panel of local business leaders, Horton and Borenstein have promised a plan to begin reopening. The plan has yet to be publicly presented, but expectations are high for the week ahead. SLO County has continually hit numbers that speak to readiness for reopening, and business owners and others anxiously await the plan — some more cautious than others. Rollins, a longtime resident of Paso Robles, who served on the City Planning Commission and Downtown Main Street board, is retired military and a college professor. He admitted he is not as impacted as others who have life savings invested in their business, or who are facing economic disaster, but agrees with many that the time to act is short. “If we come out too early,” Rollins said, “we might have a resurgence, and if we wait ... our economy can’t take 12 to 18 months of this.” Communities around the globe are pitched between a rock and a hard place, but not all counties are facing the same public health dangers. SLO County COVID19 stats continue to underscore the

many others, we learn more about the details of the specific germs, organisms; it’s manner of spread, it’s propensity to hit certain groups, the asymptomatic nature of it, so it is very humbling to be in a decision making position when you can’t have all the facts at hand.” Borenstein declared San Luis Obispo County in a state of emergency on March 13 and, together with Horton, has continued to extend the order every 14 days as needed for the safety of our community at the expense of time with their loved ones. “I am incredibly grateful for the support I have from my family, my wife, and four kids,” Horton said. “I don’t see them a lot. I can’t even remember. It’s been 44 or 45 days straight now working and making the best decisions that we can, and my wife has just been incredibly supportive.” However, with so much uncertainty surrounding our future and our mortality becoming clearer seemingly with each passing minute, our most visible and most scrutinized leaders have still been able to find the specks of good amid a sea of so

community’s readiness to reopen. With one new case on Sunday, April 19, the past 14 days have run an average of 2.65 new cases each day, and a low strain on local healthcare. “I listen to Wade Horton and Penny Borenstein, and we are unique,” Rollins said. “In order for them to keep their job, they need to be risk-averse. A business owner, you inherently embrace risks. If these businesses don’t have the capital to continue after this is over, the business won’t be able to continue.” Rollins expanded on the economic impact, indicating that when a business goes down, subsequently, the employees of that business are also economically injured, leading to a longer, more difficult recovery process. Officials, leaders, and community members confirm that opening the community will be a gradual process, but some actions can be taken immediately. “We can identify the people at most risk and provide them the opportunity to continue to shelter,” Rollins said, “even if that means a public agency. We certainly can’t put them at risk, that would be irresponsible.” Some businesses, deemed “essential services,” have continued to operate unabated, albeit with a dwindling customer base, and reopening would bring back other services that have been forced to close. Specifically, service-based industries, hygienic services, and accessory industries like dog grooming have been named to lists submitted to The Paso Robles Press as a priority for inclusion in the first phase of reopening. “There are so many service-based businesses that should be open right now,” Rollins said. “They are often at the bottom of the pay spectrum and can hardly afford this.” Other industries considered “nonessential,” like optometrists and dentists, have high levels of hygiene that attract attention when comparing what is essential and what is not. “It amazes me that dentistry is closed when a smoke shop is open,”

Rollins said. “I understand why a smoke shop should be open, but a good dentist is extremely clean to begin with.” Along with nonessential businesses, the County has closed beaches and parks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. “I think it is unfortunate that the County has closed a lot of the recreational facilities,” Rollins said. “Getting outside is important to a person’s mental health. At some point, [officials] are overreaching, and that needs to be rectified immediately.”

much darkness and fear. “I think there is a lot of good that has come out of this,” Horton said. “I’m watching people that are rising to the occasion and performing in situations that they thought they probably couldn’t do. People that are put in positions, particularly some of our public servants, might have found themselves in public works and are now are handling a sheltering program or managing a logistics supply chain. There’s the outpouring of business that are changing their manufacturing to make PPE [personal protective equipment]. The distilleries that have changed their processes to make hand sanitizer, I am just so proud to be apart of the community.” So far, through these nearly 50 days of quarantine, our community has shown time and time again that we are all in this together by helping one another out. Still, both Dr. Borenstein and Horton have begun to feel the community anxiety and urges everyone to continue working together. “What I really want to say is that I hope that we can continue to [work together],” Dr. Borenstein said. “The anxiety and the totally understandable economic concerns, they are real, they are massive. I genuinely hope

they will not lead us down a path of division and divisiveness. As we continue to come out of this, we need to have some continued measures of restrictions and mitigations that I would ask of our collective community not to start turning on each other at this time.” The work of Borenstein and Horton, coupled with the fantastic response by the citizens, San Luis Obispo County, continues to show some of the lowest and most promising COVID-19 numbers across the country by several metrics and the public unrest has begun to grow louder. Still, those complaints have not fallen on deaf ears. “I know that people are hurting right now and are scared. They have done an outstanding job working as a community to bend the curve and we have bent it, and now that fear has transitioned into worrying about their loved ones getting sick too, ‘Hey, I need to get back to work,’ and we certainly understand that and we are doing everything we can right now in order to get people back to work, get kids back to school and get the faith community back in their places of worship, that is our focus. How do we do that safely, and how do we do that without creating another spike or another wave of this disease.”

initial steps and the plan to reopen

In the early onset of COVID-19 in California, the residents of SLO County jumped into a defensive position, risking economic security in exchange for the health of the most vulnerable. “We took the initial steps, and it was important,” Rollins said. “We did it on faith, and we did it on the idea that the numbers were going to be devastating.” After four weeks of sheltering, global research into the spread and outcomes of varying approaches, and results of personal hygiene and physical distancing to review, the curve has been flattened for SLO County and others. “The numbers are not reflective of what we were told,” Rollins said, “and now it is time to back it off and take steps to get back on track.” Looming expectations are demands that are felt by Horton and Borenstein, as communities around the state begin to host protests against shelter orders. “There needs to be a definitive plan and timeline,” Rollins said. “People are going to be far more tolerant of that approach.” County officials are scheduled to provide an update in a public briefing from the Joint Communication Center in SLO. The briefing will stream live on the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department Facebook page at 3:15 p.m. on Monday.

business community. Main Street Executive Director Noma Moyes, who has lived through the Great Depression and World War II, has never seen anything like current events. From her vantage in her downtown office, Moye says the City’s downtown is quiet but continues to see patrons support local businesses while practicing social distancing and wear protective gear. “People have their masks on, and their gloves on and they are staying away from each other, it so quiet down here it isn’t hard to do that,” said Moye. She said, “I’m talking to a lot of the merchants, and I want to thank the public that is supporting these businesses.” Moye said the downtown continues to evolve and adapt to shelter at home orders. Businesses offer alternate services, expanded their delivery options, and provide curbside pickup. “Everybody is being as creative as they can, and I’m proud of how merchants are all hanging on, but we all have to hang on together and help each other,” Moye said, “We can’t let this destroy us. We are Americans, and we are going to win this battle.” Moye would like to remind people that Mother’s day is just around the corner. Although the holiday is one of the biggest revenue generators for restaurants, she reminded people that local florists are still operating deliveries and curbside pickups. “Mother’s Day is coming up pretty soon, so don’t forget the florist,” Moye said, “There’s nothing more that will perk up somebody’s feeling when they get a bouquet of flowers.” In support of the local economy, Main Street provides a venue for business and organization to update the community on the changes of their services, hours of operation, delivery and take-out offerings and news. The association distributes all business updates via email, website, and social media at no cost. Businesses and organizations can email their updates to info@pasoroblesdowntown.org or call (805) 238-4103. For the latest information, people can follow the association’s social media postings on FaceBook. “I love this downtown. I love everybody. They have been my family for a long time, so nothing can happen to them,” Moye said.

tion of news, but that has been at the cost of all paper editions. At the end of the day, each newspaper will face its own reality. So far, we are planning the longterm vitality of the paper editions of our newspapers — both The Atascadero News and The Paso Robles Press. However, it is not outside the realm of possibility that the paper editions combine to bring more news covering all of the North SLO County to all readers, and to keep the digital editions separate to Paso Robles and Atascadero. We really can’t tell that far into the future, but we know that we are going to do what it takes to deliver your newspaper to your mailbox each week. It is very important to us that we keep a wide variety of reading material available to inform the public of happenings in our communities, and our competitive nature is to keep our mediums the best of any in our communities. We care deeply about the quality of our products and want to deliver as much value each week as we can. As a company, we are much more than just our printed newspapers. Part of our formula for success is our monthly glossy magazines — Paso Robles Magazine and Colony Magazine. They are the most effective distribution of information our community has — delivering to all mailing addresses in our community. Our digital versions of our newspaper provide daily news as it happens. While our paper edition is unique to our company in the North SLO County — no other media delivers news dedicated to our community in print and digital formats — our online editions are more robust and informative, as well as timely. We keep the community informed with the top-ranked online news sites as well as the only community newspaper for our cities. We took over the newspapers from News Media Corp. in 2019, with expectations to improve all aspects of the delivery and content. Our current economic crisis will not stop us, but we have done our part in helping slow the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health of our community. That comes first. As a result of the slowed economy, our newspaper has had to adjust, and that has meant less pages, but that hasn’t meant less news. Our online site has all the news you need for the community, and when we begin to recover with the rest of SLO County, we will rebuild our staff and printed newspaper. We expect it to recover quickly, but much is unknown, and always safety first. We wanted to make sure you knew your local newspaper is working for you and maintaining a strong presence. Unlike community newspapers in Southern California, we are not shutting down. We are looking at our process for growth, even in the volatile economy we face, because our commitment is to bring you the news the way you want it — on paper and online. Our future plans include some innovative delivery of your local news, but each delivery mode will rely on its own vitality. The paper edition of the newspaper needs support from our community. We truly thank you for supporting the newspaper, and our strength of the newspapers is backed by your subscription. We hope you will encourage others to subscribe with an option that fits them — we have a handful. Our local news is important to our community, and it is a community effort to keep it going through good times and challenges. Thank you, Nicholas & Hayley Mattson, and the entire 13 Stars Media Company
