Community Rallies with Virtual Easter Egg Hunt
Event to paint and display large eggs has gone international By NICHOLAS MATTSON nic@pasoroblespress.com
L
about them, hopes high, businesses going, and their households and homes intact. The internal and external pressures have spawned a few light-hearted activities (like a virtual egg hunt and sky-writing happy faces), and test the limits of patience for many. The Paso Robles Press and The Atascadero News together recognize the tremendous effort by the residents of SLO County, and the residents of North SLO County, for taking decisive and deliberate action to prevent
ike much of life in the time of COVID-19, or what might be later classified as the Zoom Era, otherwise normal activities find themselves in peril as physical distancing orders and prohibition of in-person gatherings put a cramp on seasonal plans. One of those seasonal activities, Easter egg hunts, has been reborn online. Atascadero resident Shauna Soltero organized a Facebook page called Virtual Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt to fill the gap, and the community joined in on the fun to share. “Times are so hard and uncertain,” Soltero said. “I wanted to help spread positivity and give people light and hope. People are hurt and scared.” The premise is to create a large cutout, about three or four feet tall, in the shape of an egg, and to decorate it. The materials of the egg are anything from paper, to cardboard, to plywood, so far, and the way it is going, creativity could produce a greater variety in the near future. As the group grew from a few members to a few hundred, to now a few thousand, the event — collecting photos of the eggs and posting them with the hashtag #virtualegghuntsloco — gained a lot of attention. The idea was hatched, and started multiplying like spring bunnies. “It was in the course of eight days, it grew by 500 people per day,” Soltero said. “Now different states are popping up. Georgia, Minnesota, Boston, Idaho, Utah, New Jersey … it is really amazing to watch.” The growth of the group and the event brought people together to share in a positive activity around creation of the eggs and pictures of the eggs around the city, county, and

eginning this Wednesday, FARMstead ED and the SLO County Farm Trail partners have organized a month-long event aimed at supporting local businesses, local growers, and local farmers, all while raising funds for county medical
teams during the COVID-19 crisis. For the entire month of April, 15 businesses partnered with FARMstead Ed, with the potential for more, to set up small booths inside Nature’s Touch Nursery and Harvest in Templeton, with 25 percent of the proceeds being donated locally to help our medical workers who are working hard to save lives. “There is a lot of stuff going on, but we have all got to do our part, we have to step up, and when the dust settles, we are all still going to be here taking care of each other still,” Nature’s Touch owner Melanie Blankenship said of the partnership. “No matter what, we can’t fear it, we’ve got to be smart about it

and take care of people, and that is what we are all about. I know that I wouldn’t have what I have without this community continually supporting me, and it’s time for us to help support them.” SLO County Farm Trail’s partners bring a wide variety of locally grown products ranging from olive oils, meat producers, life and self-care product companies, gelato & craft beverage makers, to farms, ranches, and nurseries. Over 15 have committed to the event to date, and more will be added throughout the month. CONTINUED ON PAGE A8

A Life Beyond Our Boundaries
my own nerves, and now there is no scheduled escape. I have been career-driven all of my life, and when I had my sweet kiddos, that continued only modified. I did not have the desire to homeschool because I am honest about my limitations and what I feel I can offer. I know that I am disciplined but only on certain aspects of my life. I know that I can change and mold to the curveballs life throws my way, but this...this is different. HAYLEY MATTSON This is all in, all of it, marriage, family, CO-PUBLISHER work, school, play, all of it, 24 hours a day and all from the comforts of our own home. hese days our worlds that once were When I think about it like that, it is overorganized chaos no longer have any whelming.

despair. How did we get here and why? I decided to focus on “the why” because “how did we get here” really at this time does not matter. The why, my why, is to see that there is beauty in life slowing down. There is light in the togetherness that brings people together in times of darkness. There is magic in people supporting people and local businesses. There is joy and laughter in creating something from nothing, and there is hope in walking through this as a family, a community, and a world together. We are all stronger than we give ourselves credit for, and we are all loved beyond measure even if we are not told all the time. We are all needed and wanted, even if we don’t feel that we made a difference today. We are all doing our very best, and that is good enough as long as we are willing to try again tomorrow. We can start our days over at any time. Ask for and allow patience from those closest to us. Find some balance and flexibil-
ity as we walk through this. And give yourself some grace. This is a life beyond our boundaries, and we are walking into the unknown, but if we can remember there is beauty in that and what we can all do together, there really is nothing that we can’t do or overcome.

First Steps Toward a Sci-Fi Reality?
THOMAS ELIAS COMMENTARY
M
any parts of current reality, from talking wristwatches to smartphones and sophisticated industrial and domestic robots like Amazon’s Alexa, Roomba vacuum cleaners, and many more, occurred in science fiction stories decades before becoming everyday devices. So it pays today to consider where California and the rest of modern civilization may be headed, with online work and education expanded exponentially as part of the effort to curb the worldwide COVID-19 viral pandemic. Increasingly, people communicate by computer, smartphone, and smartwatch rather than in person. Isolation grows ever more common; “social distancing” is officially
mandated as a key anti-virus tactic, with violations potentially punishable by fine or jail time. So a look at the very first time something like this appeared in literature and the extreme form it took there might be appropriate before the current reality becomes a habit in California, where many of the world’s trends are set. That first appearance came via the distinguished author Isaac Asimov’s 1957 novel “The Naked Sun.” The book sees humanoid robot Daneel Olivaw and his human detective partner Elijah Bailey, natives of earth, travel to the fictional planet of Solaria to investigate a murder. On Solaria, they find a civilization of vast plantations, each inhabited by only one person. The planet’s rigidly-controlled population of 20,000 is supported by ten thousand times that many robots, who do all the work. The few humans, virtually always isolated, communicate almost exclusively by hologram – their real-looking but ephemeral images projected across thousands of miles, a potential technology far more advanced than the so-called holograms used on some drivers licenses and credit cards today. Face-to-face communication, especially of the sort needed to reproduce, is seen as dirty stuff on Solaria, even if it’s occasionally
unavoidable. In the face of the coronavirus, things have not yet gone nearly that far. But today’s great expansion of working remotely by computer and other “smart” devices is creating changes for many millions. This includes schoolchildren who get lesson plans and some supervision from teachers working at home via tablets and computers, some supplied by school systems. Even television reporters now perform live standups with backyard hedges or living rooms as backdrops, rather than the usual graphics like video boards with weather maps. It’s a massive change that seems to work in this hopefully brief period when parents are forced to shelter at home to avoid either spreading or catching the virus. But what happens if parents return to work, but schools remain closed, as Gov. Gavin Newsom has hinted they might until next fall? That’s unknown. But California has far too few day camps and other day care programs to handle the millions of children who might soon need supervision from someone other than a parent. What’s more, despite offers of free Internet service from companies like Verizon, many children lack connectivity in their homes, but can’t go to Starbucks, public libraries or other

Such is necessary supplies to their own citizens first. the height, or depth, rather, of hypocrisy of the A President who refuses to mobilize AmeriRepublican Party. Such is the depth of their can businesses to manufacture and ship such greed.
I
Capitalism worked after World War II, but only because corporation executives, directors, and owners felt a responsibility to ensure their employees made a good wage, could save for retirement and buy houses, and could put their children through college. There was an implied social contract to give back to society because it was society’s institutions and people that allowed one to get rich in the first place. There were greedy corporation owners back then, too, of course, but they were seen for what they were: self-centered, narrow-visioned, and shortterm thinkers. Most business owners were in it for the long haul, seeing themselves as part of a well-oiled machine where profits were shared with those who helped make it happen, their employees. All that went out the door in the mid-1970’s, when “free market” capitalism was embraced by the wealthy. It meant freedom to grab as much of the wealth as one could, grab as much political power as money would buy (which meant a lot), frame it as “just the way life is”, make struggling citizens out as the bad guys, create mythological rags-to-riches narratives to fool the citizenry that anyone can get rich (thanks, again, Trump, for the lies about your own very privileged life). The truth is that most people were on the edge of economic devastation long before this virus hit. Seventy-five percent of American workers reported last year that they were living paycheck-to-paycheck. The average age of a minimum wage worker is 27 years old, not someone fresh out of high school, but someone who has been struggling to find a decent job for years (even after graduating from college) because of business owners and managers keeping jobs part-time and without benefits. Wages have not kept up with inflation since 1975. The cost of housing, food, consumer goods, and health insurance premiums and co-pays have all increased dramatically more than wages. All it took was something where people were not allowed to go to work and the one lifeline they had, their paycheck, was suddenly gone. No income, no savings, and for many, no health insurance.
commercial sites to pick up wifi connections, because most such places – when they reopen – still won’t cater to unsupervised children. Meanwhile, working life in California and many other locales has changed radically since shelter-in-place became common government policy. Many workers already had no need for access to bulky file cabinets, drawing boards, easels and fax machines. They could find almost everything they need online with laptop computers costing as little as $200 each and, in some cases, mere tablets that cost much less. What happens to them when the pandemic runs its course? Will employers still want to pay rent on many thousands of square feet of office space when they’ve seen their employees can use kitchen tables? The relatively few times employees actually need to see their bosses could be accommodated by renting a large room. Will workers still want to make long commutes? All this might not work for food service workers, but no one yet knows how permanent the changes imposed on restaurants will become, how radically today’s experience might alter California’s future. No one knows if all this means fewer humans will eventually be needed, al la Asimov’s Solaria. But while the changes are new, the concepts they’ve begun bringing to life are not.
Fortunately, we are seeing a return to economic common sense (and I mean the working person’s economy, not the wealthy citizens’ economy of good stock market gains). In this time of crisis, people are being paid for leave from work, unemployment benefits are being extended, businesses are being given grants and loans to help pay for employees that cannot go to work, school breakfasts and lunches are being given (sometimes the only reliable meal a child will get), virus testing is free, tenants and house owners are exempted from evictions and foreclosures, credit card companies are waiving late fees, airlines are waiving itinerary change fees, even my internet provider upped its customers’ data limits, for free. The federal government bailout bill of 2.2 trillion dollars would have been so unnecessary if we had had a fair economic system in the first place. Upon signing that bill, Trump noted that during the first week of March, “the economy was perfect, just beautiful.” Perfect for who? Beautiful for who? Certainly not the majority of Americans whose economy took an immediate nosedive at the first sign of strain on it. The bailout actions in place now for the poor and middle class (not for the large corporations) are the backbone of a social democracy. They are compassionate and make good economic sense. They are policies for the long haul and for the wider vision, for those who understand that we are all connected and that one cannot allow greed and short-term thinking rule our politics and economics without it all come crashing down at a moment’s notice. Will our politicians have the economic foresight and compassion to ensure these policies remain in place after the threat of COVID-19 has left us and we get back to normal? Do we even want the old normal? Given the history of our President and his Republican Party minions, I doubt it, but then, that will be up to voters in November, if they can remember the spring when we woke up, the spring that changed our lives forever.

n my last column I invited readers to send me recipes to share and I am happy to say that Jeannie Malik and Molly Comin responded. Their names may be familiar to you as they are the “dynamic duo” of Dancing With our Stars. Without their time, energy and talent, the show would not go on! Of course the original show dates in March did not work because of the coronavirus, but the optimistic committee rescheduled it for September 17-19th. Sold tickets were automatically transferred to the new dates. Artistic Director Molly assures us that “Prime Time Atascadero: Season 11” is going to be one of the most heartwarming, singa-long events that Jeannie Malik and Friends of the Atascadero Library have ever produced.

’m a big believer in marriage, no family should be without one. Having been married 46 years, I’ve already started saving my pennies in anticipation of our golden wedding anniversary. My wife, being an easy keeper, has said that she doesn’t want any jewelry or a new old truck. Nor does she want to go on an expensive cruise. So we’ll probably just cruise on over to Taco Bell for lunch. My wife is a strong woman, just like the pioneering females who were ordered up as if they were a new shovel from the Sears catalog. The pioneering men were expected to marry whatever got off the train. Surprisingly, a high percentage of those mixed marriages lasted until death did them part. In the area where I live the Swiss married Italians and it has proven to be a very good cross, as was the Basque-Italian cross. They were mixed marriages in other ways as when dairymen would marry cattlewomen, and ranchers would marry sheepherders. Here are some mixed marriages that worked, and a couple that never will. Rancher X Dairyman– This has proven to be a very good cross, especially during calving. Dairy wives are especially adept at getting up every hour to check the heifers without waking up their husband. Dairy wives especially enjoy feeding cows while balanced on the back
of the feed truck while the husband stays warm and comfy in the cab. I’ve only seen a few of these hybrid marriages end in divorce court, or with a twelve gauge, and I was surprised when one ended because I thought they had some very good years together, 1973, 1996 and 2012, to be more specific. Rancher X Sheepherder– I don’t know what gave ranchers the idea that marrying a sheepherder would be a good idea. There would have to be an especially large dowry or a nice ranch with the deal but even then, the practice should NOT be encouraged and no offspring should be saved from the mating. The only time it should even be considered is if the sheepherder is 92 years old, in poor health and has a large life insurance policy. Being a member of this mixed marriage means people will stare at you in town and salesmen will refuse to wait on you. Then there is the hat issue. Ranchers wear real hats while the beanies worn by sheepherders make them look like they are a Scottish oncologist out for a drive in their Porsche. Even their hobbies are different. One likes to team rope while the other likes to knit. Cattleman X Pig Farmer– What do you call a pork producer who marries a rancher? A social climber. This is a good cross only if you think going to the Farm Bureau convention for vacation is a good idea. Do you have any idea how hard it is to strap on a pair of spurs to rubber boots? Even your friends down at the coffee shop will refuse to sit with you if you show up smelling like, well, you know. Besides, there are easier ways to pick
up an extra hundred bucks other than marrying a pig farmer. The promiscuous pig farmer will gladly mate any time of the year so he’ll hang around all year long. I knew one monogamously challenged pig farmer who had a five mile marriage license and wasn’t all that fanatic about his marriage vows. He led an “alternative” lifestyle and when he won a trip for two to Hawaii he just went twice and left his poor wife at home doing all the chores. I knew one of these mixed marriage couples where she married him for his money and he married her for her beauty and in the end they both lost. Beware of pig farmers. Rancher X Farmer– The absolute perfect marriage, especially in drouth years
when hay is especially expensive. There is a chance of too much inbreeding and the male might be uglier than a mud fence but don’t worry, he’ll be in the fields during daylight hours and won’t come home until dark so you’ll hardly ever get a good look at him. I knew one corn-farming wife who kept the same husband and the same crop for 30 years but she wised up and rotated out of husbands and into soybeans.

FAY LLOYD ROSS 1925 – 2020
n March 30, 2020, our father, husband, grandfather, and brother went back to the green, green grass of home. Fay Lloyd Ross was born on April 21, 1925 to Howard B. Ross and Rae Caroline Ross in Pasadena, California. It wasn’t long before he was joined by his little sister, Jean C. Ross. Times were tough for this family as the Great Depression was just around the corner, and the effects were just beginning to be felt. Like many others, Fay’s family struggled to get by. When the kids were

young, the Ross’s moved to San Miguel, California in hopes of better opportunities. Fay’s father worked as a ranch hand and almond picker, and eventually owned a small dairy. As Fay grew, he raised hogs and worked in the local farm store to help make ends meet for the family. This was an early example of the determination Fay had to make a better life for his family and himself. Fay was 26 years old when he received his Selective Service draft orders to serve in the Korean War. He was an Army serviceman, and rose to the rank of Sargent of the motor pool during the two years he was in Korea. Fay saved most of his paycheck during this time and sent it back to his family in San Miguel. Prior to the war, and for over 30 years thereafter, Fay dry farmed barley and raised cattle on the Alexander ranch in San Ardo, California. He married Barbara Clemans in 1953 and during their marriage they had 3 children, Steven, Richard, and Patricia. Fay and Barbara’s children grew up learning the value of hard work and worked in every aspect of the ranch. After 17 years of marriage, Fay and Barbara divorced. Besides his desire to make a better life, Fay’s other true passion was big game hunting. Every summer after harvest, he and his dad would make the month long journey to Idaho to hunt big horn sheep, elk, deer, and bear with Fay’s old friend
and packer, Fay Kissenger. These were the best of times and the cool mountains of Idaho he would never forget. Fay always dreamed that he would someday own his own ranch, and worked hard to make that dream come true. In 1973 his wish came true when he purchased the Vaughan ranch in Unity, Oregon. The Unity ranch is a hay and cattle operation where Fay made his home in the early 80s. In 1975, Fay married his sweetheart Patricia Nel Harvey Wood (Pat). She is the love of his life and they remained married until his death. Their entire lives together, through rain or shine, these two worked cattle, fixed fence, irrigated, and of course sprayed weeds, well into their 80s. A great joy in Fay’s life were his grandchildren. Memories of fishing, camping, and tractor driving with grandpa have been the source of countless stories ‘round the dinner table. He loved to spend time talking about tractors and the old days of hunting with his grandsons, and anyone else who would listen. For many years, he and Pat went back to Paso Robles to spend the winter months. In later years, they also loved to travel to Arizona in the winter to visit, spend the holidays, and take a red rock hike or two, with their granddaughters. Fay is survived by his wife, Patricia N. Ross; his son Steve Ross ( Janice);
his daughter Patricia Highley ( Jerry), sister Jean Foster; grandchildren Jayme Thoma (Alex); Anna Alisse Caton ( Joe); Richard Ross (Rachel); Shawn Ross; Carl Ross; Stephen Ross; Wyatt Wood (Amy); Wade Wood (Breanna); Alicia Hernandez ( Jacob); Floyd Patterson; Cody Patterson; and step children Duane Wood (Robin), Douglas Wood, Dawn Patterson (Lester). He is preceded in death by his parents, and his son Richard Ross. Fay embodied a principled life. He was tough and honest, and held the admiration of later generations. Goodbye Dad…til we meet again. “Yes, they’ll all come to see me In the shade of that old oak tree As they lay me ‘neath the green, green grass of home”
California. One of five children, Flo was born in Portobello, Scotland to Faber and Alice Dewar. After marrying Robert “Scotty” McConnell in 1957, the two immigrated to the United States of America in 1962. Six years after being in the United States, Flo and Scotty were blessed with their daughter Karen. In 1969, both Flo and Scotty became American citizens. In 1969, they moved to Paso Robles, which she always referred to as home. Anyone who banked at Crocker Bank in Paso knew Flo. She worked as a bank secretary at Crocker for many years, developing friendships with co-workers and bank customers. Flo enjoyed supporting the Bearcats, traveling all over the state to watch her daughter in both high school and college sports. Flo and Scotty moved to Hanford, Ca
in 1999 to be closer to their daughter. Although she treasured being close to Karen and spending time with Karen and her activities, Flo always felt Paso Robles was “home”. Flo shared 60 wonderful, happy and memorable years of marriage with Scotty. She will always be remembered for her warmth, kindness and generosity of heart. Flo never met a stranger and always made time for anyone who needed her ear or advice. She loved traveling to multiple countries, arts and crafts, her friends from Beta Sigma Phi and her home church, Plymouth Congregational Church in Paso Robles. After a long battle with Parkinson’s, Flo spent her final months at home with her daughter and Lupe, as her faithful companion, always tending to her every need. This allowed her to spend her final
weeks without suffering and pain and she can now rest with her heavenly father for eternity. Together again, she has been reunited with her parents and siblings Faber, James and Sylvia. Flo is survived by her husband Scotty and daughter Karen of Hanford, her sister (Margaret Findlay of Santa Barbara, Ca), her brother-in-law (Thomas McConnell of Musselburgh, Scotland) and many nieces and nephews and very special friends, all of who will miss her greatly. A heartfelt thank you to Valley Christian Home in Hanford, Optimal Hospice, Lupe Castaneda and many friends and family for your continued prayers and support. Private service will be held at a later date. Family and Friends are invited to send condolences to the family at: www.peoplesfuneralchapel.com.

oronaviruses are a large family of viruses. Some coronaviruses cause cold-like illnesses in people, while others cause illness in certain types of animals, such as cattle, camels, and bats. Some coronaviruses, such as canine and feline coronaviruses, infect only animals and do not infect humans. RISK OF ANIMALS SPREADING COVID-19 TO PEOPLE Some coronaviruses that infect animals can sometimes be spread to humans and then spread between people, but this is rare. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) are examples of diseases caused by coronaviruses that originated in animals and spread to people. This is what is suspected to have happened with the virus that caused the current outbreak of COVID-19. However, we do not know the exact source of this virus. Public health officials and partners are working hard to identify the source of COVID19. The first infections were linked to a live animal market, but the virus is now spreading from person to person. The coronavirus most similar to the virus causing COVID-19 is the one that causes SARS.
The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads mostly from person to person through respiratory droplets from coughing, sneezing, and talking. Recent studies indicate that people who are infected but do not have symptoms likely also play a role in the spread of COVID-19. At this time, there is no evidence that companion animals, including pets, can spread COVID-19 to people or that they might be a source of infection in the United States.
virus. This investigation is ongoing. We are still learning about this virus, but we know that it is zoonotic and it appears that it can spread from people to animals in some situations. CDC is working with human and animal health partners to monitor this situation and will continue to provide updates as information becomes available. Further studies are needed to understand if and how different animals could be affected by COVID-19.
RISK OF PEOPLE SPREADING COVID-19 TO ANIMALS CDC is aware of a very small number of pets, including dogs and cats, outside the United States reported to be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 after close contact with people with COVID-19. CDC has not received any reports of pets becoming sick with COVID-19 in the United States. To date, there is no evidence that pets can spread the virus to people. The first case of an animal testing positive for COVID-19 in the United States was a tiger with a respiratory illness at a zoo in New York City. Samples from this tiger were taken and tested after several lions and tigers at the zoo showed signs of respiratory illness. Public health officials believe these large cats became sick after being exposed to a zoo employee who was actively shedding
PROTECT YOUR PETS IF YOU ARE SICK If you are sick with COVID-19 (either suspected or confirmed), you should restrict contact with pets and other animals, just like you would around other people. Although there have been no reports of pets becoming sick with COVID-19 in the United States, it is still recommended that people sick with COVID-19 limit contact with animals until more information is known about the virus. This can help ensure both you and your animals stay healthy. • When possible, have another member of your household care for your animals while you are sick. • Avoid contact with your pet including, petting, snuggling, being kissed or licked, and sharing food. • If you must care for your pet or be around animals while you are sick, wash your hands before and after you interact with them.

pril usually means it’s time to enjoy the Central Coast while helping animals in need during the Annual Wine 4 Paws Weekend benefiting Woods Humane Society. And this year it still does, even if things are a little different. At Woods, many programs are postponed until further notice, most crucial fundraising events have been canceled, and fees for services have drastically slowed down while operating in a limited capacity. However, Woods is still there caring for animals, and those expenses are not slowing down. Woods continues to give the highest level of care, providing dogs and cats food, shelter, primary veterinary care, exercise, and enrichment. Many animals have been sent to foster and Woods continues to do appointment-based adoptions to fulfill their mission. For Woods to continue to provide the same level of care to homeless companion animals and offer them second chances in the coming months, they need your help. In addition, the businesses that are backbone of the Wine 4 Paws fundraiser have been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic. They have been forced to operate with limited resources on a “to go” basis only. On April 18 & 19, over 50 small businesses throughout SLO County will join together and donate a portion of their proceeds to Woods Humane Society. We won’t get to see you out and about this year, but you can still help. And everyone is looking to mix up their stay at home existence, right? All you have to do is visit www.wine4paws.com to see who’s donating a percent of sales to Woods Humane Society. Click on each winery’s logo and you’ll be taken to their website. You can order from each winery’s website or call them to place your order April18 -19, and a percent of your purchase will be donated to Woods! Everyone is offering GREAT shipping deals as well as specials, and if you’re a local you can even go out and do a “curbside pickup” if you like. We’ve got a bunch of wineries, an olive oil producer, and Jeffry’s Wine Country BBQ in Paso Robles on board - something for everyone. Get your wine, olive oil, and some great food, then sit back and think about all those animals at Woods who can’t wait for a home to call their own. You’ve done a good thing. You’ve not only helped those animals, but you’ve helped those small business in this difficult time. Visit www.wine4paws.com for a list of participating Tasting Rooms. Woods Humane Society cares for over 3,000 cats and dogs each year at their facilities in San Luis Obispo and Atascadero until they can be united with loving families. In November of 2018, they opened the first North County low-cost spay and neuter clinic at their location in Atascadero. This clinic can be utilized by ANY pet owner. Wine 4 Paws helps ensure that Woods can continue to offer our community animals the highest level of care – it’s a win-win for everyone!

LOOK UP AND SMILE

Atascadero’s mystery skywriter, Paul Kendrick gives us a friendly reminder By CONNOR ALLEN
F
riday afternoon, while most of the county was locked away in their houses like a teenager that has been grounded, one North SLO County man broke free of his shelterat-home shackles and took to the skies leaving all us stuck on the ground a friendly reminder etched in the heavens. If you were in Atascadero on Friday afternoon or logged onto Facebook, you more than likely saw the two-milewide happy face smiling down upon you. Starting around 1 p.m., the Atascadero native opened his masterpiece with one giant circle that began to catch the attention of excited onlookers across town, and the questions started pouring in. Video after video popped up on timelines as onlookers gave their best guess at what the mystery pilot could be drawing. It soon became apparent as he made his final pass, exposing a gargantuan grin greeting us all. It was not the first time that we have
seen skywriting in North County. A few weeks back, a giant “805” also made an appearance but did not cause the social media storm like the smile did on Friday. After months of anonymity, the Atascadero News finally found the “805” mystery artist (thanks to a few friends on the internet) who says this will not be the last time he takes to the air with a machine full of smoke and images to create. “I started flying when I was 14, that is when I started taking flight lessons,” Atascadero resident Paul Kendrick said. “I flew an airplane by myself before I drove a car by myself, which was right after I turned 16, that’s the youngest you can fly.” The 38-year-old Atascadero native grew up in the air and takes to it whenever he can as a means to clear his mind and adventure. As a young man in his late teens and early twenties, while most kids spent their days at the beach or playing video games, he spent his time in the air, often taking off for hours of flying
high above California or wherever the wind took him. Now, as an adult, and more importantly, a dad, his time for long flights has disappeared, but just as he did, his nine year-old-son Xander, loves the air and when he can’t come along for a ride he sometimes leaves a message etched into the clouds. “This is only the third time that I have done skywriting. I did a smiley face and then wrote ‘805’ and then did the one Friday,” Kendrick said. “But I’ll be honest with you, I had plans to do something more ambitious, but it’s kind of a hard thing to do, skywriting.” Not only is Kendrick a certified flight instructor but also a pretty advanced mechanic. The plane he flies is a Vans Aircraft RV-7 that he built in his garage. “What I am doing wouldn’t really be possible from a practical sense any other way. The nature of it being a home built airplane means it is registered with the FAA as an experimental aircraft,” Kendrick explained. “There are 10,000 of this particular model
airplane out there and flying in the world, so maybe experimental might be a bit of a misnomer, but by being experimental, it allows me a lot more options when it comes to maintenance and modifications, like a smoke system for example.” It would be nearly impossible for a pilot to add a smoke machine to a production built airplane that comes from a factory, but with a “experimental aircraft,” Kendrick can make all the necessary modifications to create his illustrations. Now with three runs under his belt, our previously anonymous skywriter is ready to get a bit more ambitious, the only problem is that there is no way to practice without the entire county as your audience. “One of the things that makes me really nervous about trying something more complicated is, as soon as I screw it up, there is no backspace,” Kendrick said. “My practice is in front of everyone who is outside and has a camera and happens to post it on social media, so I only get one shot at doing it right.”
With both feet planted on the ground, it seems easy enough, but to Kendrick, nearly 17,000 feet above us, the image is mirrored and flipped upside down. Smiley faces are simple enough, but Kendrick has told the Atascadero News his plans for his next trip, and while we won’t spoil the fun, we can report that next time he might leave us all a message rather than a sun sized emoji. “It definitely makes me smile seeing all the posts,” he said. “I am glad that I can go out and do something like that, and it gets a positive reaction.” What also makes skywriting difficult is that the canvas is at the mercy of mother nature. Kendrick can only write on days that he has off of work when it’s also clear, sunny and relatively still. The windier the day, the quicker the image disappears, and if there are clouds behind his creations, then it will be lost and hard to see. However, next time it looks like a beautiful day, step outside and take a peek at the clouds because you never know what message could be waiting to give you hope or make you smile.

NORTH COUNTY — What started as a dismal rain season begins to show promise. Although it wasn’t exactly the “Miracle March” that people hoped for, meteorologist John Lindsey said additional April showers might provide the precipitation the Central Coast needs. “I think March was great,” Lindsay said. “We almost had double the amount on average that we normally receive in March, so I called it a mini-miracle March or a minor miracle

March,” Lindsey said. “After a nearly dry January and a completely parched February … to see that much rain in March was definitely something to celebrate, and now it looks like we may get a miracle April.” A northern high-pressure system threw a kink into the precipitation machinery through January and February, so much so that it was the driest February on record. Lindsey said that relief came when a high-pressure system moved to allow steering winds to push cold, wet air southward. Lindsey noted that current meteorological projections show that April may produce double or triple the amount of rainf a l l for the month. The unseasonably dry January and February led to a level one drought status (D1) — a moderate drought category which corresponds to an area where damage to crops and pastures can be expected, and where fire risk is high, while stream, reservoir, or well levels are low according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). However, the March rains pushed San Luis Obispo County to D0 — “abnormally dry.” Scientists consider D0 areas to be dry, but
not “necessarily experiencing drought conditions.” Drought levels range from D0 up to D4, which is the most extreme drought level. “Hopefully, with this rain that we are expecting in April, it may at least keep us at abnormally dry, and may even move [out] of being abnormally dry,” Lindsey said. “We’ll see what transpires, but if we get as much rain as I think we’ll get, that’s going to go a long way that will help keep us out of a drought situation.” The late rains with plenty of sunshine also marks the weed abatement season is upon us. With the fire season approaching, it is crucial to take preventative measures seriously. “This is the prime growing period for [weeds],” Lindsey said. “They way I look at it, it’s good to get a head start on it while you have the conditions, and of course when it gets so wet, you really can’t go out there and weed. It’s probably a good idea to get an early start on weeds.” Rain is expected to begin tonight and continue through Tuesday with a projected total of two inches from the storm. Lindsey reported that power outages may occur due to the incoming storm and recommended prepping emergency kits.

the spread of COVID-19 while the healthcare community develops a plan of action to protect and serve the community as we begin our socio-economic recovery. In the past three days, there have been two confirmed cases of COVID-19 in SLO County. That positive news is tempered by the fact that the county suffered its first coronavirus-related death. The contrast in the statistics highlights the positive outcome of the communal safeguards that were observed in a coordinated response, and the harsh reality that COVID19 can hospitalize its victims and take lives. As usual, SLO County is a sanctuary — not for the wealthy, but for the modest. SLO County has survived and thrived with neighbors helping neighbors, and now battling coronavirus with a coordinated effort against an invisible enemy. The efforts appear to be working, although testing backlogs of several thousand in California skew accurate results. As of Tuesday, April 7, SLO County saw a rise of six new cases over four days, which is a low number and an encouraging sign for those isolating. The County of San Luis Obispo Public Health Department delivered an update on Monday regarding information and statistics for

further. The big question was, “where are the eggs?” That question was partially answered with the addition of an arcGIS map (geographic information system, view here) with an opportunity for user-input of locations that are mapped for all to see. “The map is something I threw together,” Lorraine Halderman said. “I do mapping for the water company. I have time off right now so I thought I would jump in and contribute.” Since the introduction of the GIS map, the event has gained international attention — with England and Germany

our local COVID-19-related conditions. The County set up a support network to assist people with obtaining necessities. “For those of you at home who are worried about the basic necessities, there is help,” SLO County Administrative Officer Wade Horton said. “Please visit our virtual local assistance center on readyslo. org to connect with resources that will help you get food on the table and pay your utility bills.” The assistance is a stop-gap to the bigger health issue, which efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19 have proved results. However, those results are questionable as factors such as testing backlogs or technical difficulties cloud the reporting. “One of the reasons we think that is the case [drop in confirmed cases] is that we are not seeing as much testing as we would like,” SLO County Health Officer Penny Borenstein said. “We continue to test in the public health laboratory at about the same rate we have, and we believe our private labs are testing quite a bit.” Borenstein said that Santa Barbara and Monterey counties are testing at about the same rate as SLO County, and that testing in the county is available to anyone who might need it. The parameters for testing have shifted, and as more tests are made available, the spectrum of symptoms that deserve testing have broadened, although Borenstein said the public percep-
joining in. Soltero and Halderman took advantage of their skills and inspiration to embrace a moment where there is such a loss of control due to the pandemic, and used their abilities to create and share community positivity. “[The map] is something I did because we feel helpless,” Halderman said. “This was a cool way to use my skills to help people see where this is. It is cool to be part of something bigger.” The map provided an opportunity for countless people to get involved with the egg hunt without needing to drive around the countryside. “What is hard is there are some rural areas,” Halderman said. “It is not easy to go out and find them.”
workers with the added element that they must source each of the meals they are producing from at least one local producer, grower, baker etc.” Cameron’s GoFundMe was created on March 25 with the goal of 50,000 dollars and is already over 18,000 in just over a week.
tion of test availability may also be shifting. “We think the public has ceased trying to get a test because early on there were not enough tests,” Borenstein said. “We believe that anyone in this county who wants to get a test now can, if they go to the right place.” In the past week, information about the symptoms and methods of transmission have changed so that facial covering is recommended for all public interaction, nationwide. The County’s expanded capacity to test, coupled with an expanded list of symptoms has put the County in a position to beg for testing. “People who have any manner of this constellation of symptoms,” Borenstein said, “be it fever or not, low grade fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, chills, tiredness, any constitution like that, with or without diarrhea can present to their primary care physician and get tested.” Testing can be done at the County Health laboratory or at private labs around California. Governor Newsom proclaimed his failure in providing Californians with adequate test results over the course of the past few weeks, and promised to improve. In a few days, the backlog fell from 59,900 to 15,000 as 44,900 tests were done in keeping with that promise. During that period of testing, California as a whole saw an increase in positive tests at a rate of 35 percent, to 15,161 cases.
The GoFundMe, which is open to the public and can be reached here (https://www.gofundme. com/f/feeding-SLO-frontliners), was created to reimburse the local restaurants who can meet the requirements of buying their ingredients from local growers. Products produced and grown by Farm Trail partners will be featured at Nature’s Touch Nursery and Harvest in Templeton from April 1-30 during regular business hours. New products from the Trail’s partners will be arriving daily, and Nature’s Touch will also continue to have their regular stock of fresh produce, dairy items, and gluten-free baked goods available for purchase. “By purchasing these SLO County products, you’re not only helping local businesses, but you are also lending support to our community members on the front lines of this crisis,” said Lynette Sonne, founder of FARMstead ED and the SLO County Farm Trail. Nature’s Touch Nursery and Harvest is located at 225 S Main Street, Templeton, and is open daily from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on weekdays, 4 p.m. Saturdays, and 3 p.m. Sundays.

manager in 2007. Six years later, in 2013, Brent and his wife Beckie purchased the business and have been running it ever since. Brent said that the couple divides the responsibilities between Brent shouldering the day to day managerial duties and Beckie handling the bookkeeping and office duties. The small shop employs 10 people, but Brent said two of his employees chose to take a temporary leave of absence, because they are considered at-risk for contracting COVID-19. “It wouldn’t make sense to possibly expose themselves to the virus,” Brent said. As with all businesses, Blakes has taken a financial hit in the past month. Brent said a large portion of their revenue comes from the hospitality industry, which came to a standstill when the coronavirus landed on American shores. Brent said that people are finally getting around to those home projects and honey-do lists they may be
procrastinating on doing. “If you’re sheltering at home, there are probably more things you realize that you need to fix that’s been put off for a while,” Brent said. Brent said the Blakes team continues to be mindful of the risk the virus brings to the community. The employees work to keep surfaces disinfected and make sure that customers are abiding by the six-feetapart guidelines put forth by the State of California and San Luis Obispo County. “We’re doing everything that we can to keep the environment in the store safe,” Brent said. Brent said that being part of the True Value family, customers can order items in advance and have them shipped to the store for pickup. Shopping online not only saves the customer time but allows them to get the things they need without exposing themselves to the virus.

With shelter-at-home orders in place that add restrictions, many participants are able to add to a growing number of mapped locations by street, all over the world, and join in something fun without ever leaving the home. With a “quick and easy” form, available on the arcGIS map website, users can provide their street, as well as post pictures of their eggs to the Facebook page. Soltero said she is trying to keep the contest organized and encourages people to stay safe and healthy. “We are trying to promote this is about being in your community,” Soltero said. “Don’t travel to the other cities. Just stay in your own neighborhoods. We are also promoting that people stay in their vehicles.”

Smeltzer, Cooper Earn Scholar-Athlete Honors in CIF Central Section
North County Stars were only athletes in SLO County to be selected By CONNOR ALLEN
T
uesday, March 31st, the Central Section CIF Director released the list of the 25 athletes in the Central Section selected as Scholar-Athletes and two students from North County, Paso Robles’ Tatiana Smeltzer and Atascadero’s Cael Cooper, landed on the list. Commissioner Jim Crichlow list contained only 25 athletes from the over 120 schools that make up the Central Section, and each student-athlete selected will be presented with
an award and a $500 monetary scholarship that they can apply towards college. Smeltzer and Cooper were not just the only student-athletes selected in the North County but in the entire county of San Luis Obispo as Atascadero, and Paso Robles was the only central coast schools represented and nearly the only athletes in the entire coastal region (St. Joseph’s Zayda Altheide was the only other athlete in the Mountain/ Ocean league selected). The awards called for a rigorous selection process and a compilation of all of one’s accomplishments, awards, records and contributions to the community over a student-athletes four years in high school, including a letter of recommendation from the principal, athletic director, coach and counselor. The nominations had to be submitted by mid-February and, amid
all the commotion of the COVID-19 crisis, the athletes had nearly forgotten about it. “Honestly, I was just kind of surprised because that had been pushed to the back of my mind for so long that I just figured I didn’t get it,” Smeltzer said. “I instantly got on the phone with my parents because they are both at work and told them I got it. Then I was looking at the other 25 and noticed that other than me that there was only one kid that was local from Atascadero in Cael Cooper so it just sort of put it into perspective of what an honor it is and each time I talk about it I feel more honored.” The award recognizes student-athletes like Smeltzer, who exemplify excellence on and off the field, pool or court. In her four years in the pool, playing both water polo and swimming, Smeltzer has been entirely dominant and her resume is undeniable. For the past three years,
the six-foot-tall swimmer was voted the MVP of the Bearcats water polo team as well as earning league MVP and North County Water Polo Player of The Year and All-CIF this past fall in her senior season. Smeltzer also currently holds the school record for most goals in a career and a season, as well as the most steals. In swimming, she currently holds two school records, the 100-meter backstroke, and is also apart of the 200-medley relay team, and was almost certainly headed to state this spring had her season not been cut short. Off the field, Smeltzer currently has a 4.42 GPA and donates much of her time to volunteer work in the community. While she might have questioned if she CONTINUED ON PAGE B2

and the most valuable sophomore award in his second year. As a junior wrestler, he helped lead the Greyhounds boys wrestling team to the top GPA in CIF Central Section, earned another team MVP, and also ended the season as an ironman (did so again as a senior), meaning he didn’t miss a single practice. In his senior season, Atascadero went undefeated in league and took home their first title since 2011, with much of the team’s successes being attr ibuted to the work of the seniors in practice. On the field, Cooper has twice been selected as an all-league defensive back in football as well as working closely with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and currently serves as the organization’s treasurer.

would make the list, those around her were a little more confident. “To be quite honest, I had a 100 percent good feeling that she was going to be chosen because of all her accomplishments and all that she has achieved and all that she has done,” Paso Robles Athletic Director Anthony Morales said. “We have roughly 600 athletes participating in sports, and Tatiana is right up there at the very top with her academics as well as her athletics. Just looking at her academics, a 4.4 GPA is pretty impressive to have even without sports, taking those AP courses, etc. She is a very good role model, especially inside the classroom.” Smeltzer signed her letter of intent back in November to continue her career as a student-athlete at Cal State Northridge. Not only does the scholar-athlete award recognize great student-athletes, it also recognizes great leaders which were some of Cooper’s most substantial contributions. As a dedicated three-sport athlete, Cooper competed in football, wrestling and track every season and even helped lead the Greyhounds wrestling team to their first league title in nearly a decade. “It was honestly a little surprising to me because I was just not expecting it,” Cooper said. “With everything that has been going on with the school
shutting down and everything I kind of figured, I would never hear about it again, but it was actually a good surprise when our athletic director Facetimed me and told me the news.” As an 8-time varsity letterman, Cooper is as versatile an athlete as there is but really shined on the wrestling mat. In each of the four years he wrestled for Atascadero, Cooper ended the season with the utmost respect from his peers. In his first season, he was voted the most valuable freshman and followed that up with a promotion to varsity
presented for Cooper and is something he spent time working on even at the slight expense of his studies. “I am currently ranked no. 15, I think. So, not in the range of valedictorian because I let off a little bit on the AP classes and the honors classes,” Cooper said. “Even though I can take them, I let off because I wanted to focus more on being involved with clubs and be a leader on my sports teams. So I let off a little on the academic side to be a part of those things.” Even with more of a typical load, his junior and senior year Cooper still currently holds a 4.3 GPA. When Cooper isn’t practicing, he spends time working with his church and works Sunday mornings with children at Atascadero Bible Church, which is where he says he would like to spend the next couple years of his life after high school. Cooper plans to apply for the church’s internship program and would like to continue providing ser vice-t ype mission projects both locally a n d abroad.
CIF CANCELLATION
CIF Officially Cancels All High School Sports for Remainder of 2019-2020 School Year
T
STAFF REPORT
he California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) announced this afternoon in a press release that the high school spring sports season and post season has officially been canceled following Governor Gavin Newsom and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond statements regarding distance learning for the remained of the school year. The statement from Executive Director Ron Nocetti: SACRAMENTO, CALIF. – Based on the recent statements issued by Governor Newsom and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond, regarding schools turning to distance learning for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) does not see an avenue for the spring sports season to continue. As such, in consultation today with the 10 Section Commissioners, the decision has been made to cancel spring Section, Regional, and State Championship events. We understand this is disappointing for everyone involved in education-based athletics and empathize with our student-athletes and all who are impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. As always, our top priority is everyone’s ongoing health and safety during this challenging time, and we all look forward to the day when education-based athletics resumes.

NONESSENTIAL BUSINESS
PASO ROBLES PD ENFORCES NONESSENTIAL BUSINESS CLOSURES Police department focuses on responsibility and mutual cooperation By MARK DIAZ NORTH COUNTY — On Mar. 31, the City of Paso Robles informed residents that it plans to enforce the closure of businesses deemed nonessential. The statement follows a unanimous decision (5-0) to adopt urgency ordinance that affirms orders given by the County of San Luis Obispo Officials in response to the COVID-19. The adoption of the law provides the City an official avenue of enforcement. The City of Atascadero Officials stated that they have not officially adopted the SLO County’s urgency ordinance. “We haven’t had an issue in Atascadero with nonessential businesses being open, and we are very supportive of businesses that are both essential and nonessential,” Public Information Officier Terrie Banish wrote in an email. Banish added that Atascadero is following the County’s guideline for essential and nonessential businesses and will enforce the urgency ordinance. “Nonessential businesses are not allowed to be open,” Banish clarified in a phone interview. While Banish said that non-compliant businesses had not been a problem in Atascadero,
she said people should call police dispatch at (805) 461-5051 to report infractions. The City of Paso Robles is also using its administrative citation process outline in the municipal code 1.03.010 (Ord. 932 N.S. § 2 (part), 2007). Code enforcement officers can issue a citation. However, fines can be waived if the violation is corrected within 15 days. “If a business chooses to stay open despite a determination that the business is not essential, there could be administrative fines and sanctions,” PRPD Chief Ty Lewis said, “I certainly don’t want to go down that road, and hope everyone understands the position they’ll put themselves and my officers in if they don’t comply.” The municipal code states that administrative fines continue to increase based on the number of citations received. The maximum penalty for the first violation is $100 and then doubles for the second violation. Infractions after the second violation could cost the business $500 each. Companies can appeal citations, but the municipal code warns that the City may collect any past-due administrative citation fine or late payment charge by use of any and all available legal means. However, a hefty fine may not be the only price paid for business owners refusing to close their doors temporarily. Officials say that the City reserves the right to revoke business licenses. “Of course we are hoping for cooperation,” Paso Robles Emergency Public Information
Officer Angelica Fortin said. “Our Chief, Ty Lewis, is focusing on people, trying to ensure that people are being responsible and cooperating with the City.” Business violations in Paso Robles can be reported at (805) 237-6464 or through the County Enforcement Line at (805) 788-2222. County officials said that a multitude of calls have already come in reporting violations. SLO County Employee Cody Sheel that the hotline received over 50 calls in one day. Calls are public record, but callers are not required to give their personal information when placing a complaint. A list of essential businesses determined by SLO County can be found online at https:// www.emergencyslo.org/en/businesses-thatmay-remain-open.aspx. Both Paso Robles and Atascadero lead the County in reported cases of COVID-19, with Paso Robles at 22 and Atascadero at 15. Templeton reported six cases as of Thursday, Apr. 2. Measures to flatten the curve include physical distancing and refraining from nonessential business activities. Overnight, from Wednesday to Thursday, Paso Robles and Atascadero reported no new cases, while the rest of the County increased with eight new cases. For more information regarding COVID19 or to report large congregations of people, call the County Phone Assistance Center at (805) 543-2444.
CARES ACT
MCSM Women’s Business Center, Cal Poly CIE and SLO SCORE host CARES Act Webinar
What does the $2 Trillion stimulus means to local businesses By MARK DIAZ
SAN LUIS OBISPO — On Apr. 3, MCSC Women’s Business Center, Cal Poly CIE Small Business Development Center and SCORE San Luis Obispo held an instructional webinar on the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The online seminar focused on how small businesses can get muchneeded cash and recommendations on what steps to take now. “It was these organizations who came together and said, ‘Let’s provide this informational session for the entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs in our community,’” Owner of Empower Consulting Group and the webinar’s moderator Liz Christoffersen said. Currently, there are two pathways for accessing diaster relief assistance, but the situation continues to evolve as the virus and economic impacts progress. Economic Injury Disaster Loan Emergency Advance (EIDL) is available

through the Small Business Association (SBA). Any small business with 500 employees or less are eligible to apply for EIDL. It includes sole proprietorships, independent contractors, and self-employed persons. Also eligible are private nonprofit organizations and 501(c)(19) veterans organizations affected by COVID-19. “This is a loan that the business owner must apply for directly through the SBA portal,” Judy Mahan, the Incubator Director for Cal Poly CIE and Director of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), said. She continued, “It should not take you more than 10 minutes to 15 minutes to get through this application process.” Mahan told the listeners that the EIDL application examines generated revenue and overhead costs for the 2019 business year. She said that based on the information given, a case manager would be assigned to the applicant to request additional information, which will eventually determine the qualifying amount for the loan. “As a rule of thumb, Mahan said, “what we’ve heard is that they will take basically your average monthly expense for 2019 to run your business multiplied by six. So basically, six months of working capital will be offered, that’s the cap. It is the lesser of that amount or $2 million for the business.” The EIDL is a grant and not a loan with a percentage rate of 3.75 to be paid over ten years. The first payment differed for one year. Mahan added that anyone who applies for EIDL might also qualify for a $10,000 “grant.” Though not technically a grant, SBA considers it an immediate forgiven advance on the loan. Applicants must check the box on the EIDL application requesting the “grant.” Mahan said that she had heard reports of people receiving
the forgiven sum within five days. The money is transferred directly to the businesses checking account by the SBA, so applicants should have the bank account and routing ready when filling out the application. The second for a assistance is through the paycheck protection program (PPP) loan. The PPP authorizes up to $349 billion in forgivable loans to small businesses to pay their employees during the COVID-19 crisis. The program’s proceeds cover payroll costs, rent, and most mortgage interest, as well as utility costs over the eight-week period after the loan is made with employee and compensation levels, are maintained. Payroll costs are capped at $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee. Due to the likely high subscription, it is anticipated that not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs, according to the treasury department. Unlike the EIDL, the PPP is applied through a bank and not the SBA. The current list that Mahan said is not exhaustive includes American Riviera, Bank of America, Coast Hills, Chase, Pacific Western, Wells Fargo, and Pacific Premier Bank. “Check with your bank first,” said Mahan. “Banks, for the most part, are giving priority to their client base, to the existing client base, which is completely understandable.” She continued, “If your bank is not processing PPPs, then contact us, and we will try and figure out which banks are accepting non-clients to help process PPPs, but unfortunately, this is not something that you can do without the bank. It is the bank that will submit the loan to the SBA for you.”
California governor admits fault in lack of testing for state
The governor said that the state is moving beyond the standard swab testing and expanding into different testing procedures in an effort to gather more data as a “comprehensive approach on data collection,” including rapid point care tests that can take five to 15 minutes to produce results. “We should have done better,” Newsom said concerning the amount of testing being performed, “and we’re going to do better.” According to Newsom, California distributed 41.2 million masks to date. Twenty-three hundred people are hospitalized with 1,008 people in ICU in the state. In addition, the state performed 1,226 tests on Friday, demonstrating a 12.4 percent increase from the previous day. Newsom also warned against cabin fever and that people continue to practice social distancing, saying that “we’re not out of the woods.” “We’re seeing double-digit increases,” Newsom said. “You do the math on that. This is real. This is serious.”

Newsom Promises to Ramp Up Testing in ‘New Day’
By MARK DIAZ SACRAMENTO — On Mar. 4, California Governor Gavin Newsom addressed the state promising a comprehensive approach to ramp up testing and data collection around the COVID-19 pandemic within the state. Not mincing words, Newsom took full responsibility for the shortfall of testing in the state. “I owe that. You deserve better and more,” Newsom said. “It’s a new day as far as testing,” Newsom said, promising to increase testing five-fold. In his address, Newsom said that the state has started collaborating with private industries such as Blue Shield and educational institutions like Stafford University.
DAILY UPDATES
SHERIFF ANSWERS QUESTIONS ABOUT ENFORCEMENT Effort to stamp out COVID-19 demands compliance for nonessential activity By NICHOLAS MATTSON
O
n Friday, San Luis Obispo County completed the last of planned daily updates from the Public Health Department, and covered three important issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic as it related to the residents of SLO County. Emergency Services Officer Wade Horton, SLO County Sheriff and Coroner Ian Parkinson, and County Health Officer Penny Borenstein. A Thursday-night protest by local healthcare workers alleged a lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) for those on the frontlines caring for the sick. As the County transforms Cal Poly’s Recreation Center into an alternate care site with several hundred beds in anticipation the county will see a spike in cases of COVID-19 needing hospitalization, concern that healthcare workers on the frontline are not adequately supplied also spikes. As of Friday, 15 healthcare workers were among those who tested positive in the county. Sheriff Parkinson answered questions about enforcement in the time of COVID-19 CRIME AND ENFORCEMENT Parkinson took the podium to address the enforcement questions and issues facing the community, and explained the process businesses might face if they violated the County shelter-at-home order to close nonessential businesses. “There is a couple things that need to be cleared up,” Parkinson said. “First, law enforcement is not making traffic stops asking people where they are going. Our purpose is to identify issues out in the community, either through businesses or social gatherings, where we make contact. We are not making traffic stops nor issuing citations for overnight parking — things that might be normal day-to-day operations, we are not doing that right now.” Concerns about crime and the deployment of the National Guard grow as the pandemic begins to push “normal” out of sight and heavy-handed enforcement becomes the new normal as businesses and residents adapt to orders and guidelines, and changing health conditions. “There is no deployment plan,” Parkinson said of the National Guard presence in the county. “There is no order for them from the state for them to deploy in any other way but for humanitarian purposes. Our goal in enforcement is really simple — it’s voluntary enforcement. We want people to follow the rules. At the end of the day, if we come out of this with zero arrests, zero citations, and zero actions against a business, that is what we want. So far, we have been successful in that attempt.” The federal government has enacted three stimulus programs so far this year to assist with the economic damage crushing the state and country. In order to defend the nation against a health crisis, the nation and the world have engaged in a voluntary economic crisis. Most states have ordered mandatory closures of nonessential businesses, and all the other businesses have seen a sudden downturn due to the shelter-at-home orders and coronavirus concerns. Mandatory closures of nonessential businesses have been well-received by the majority, but confusion or willing noncompliance led Horton to insist last week that enforcement would be an option if compliance was not voluntary. Parkinson explained the steps the sheriff ’s office would take to
address noncompliance with the shelter-at-home order. • First the sheriff deputies will notify the business that they are out of compliance • The next step would be a court order, and suspension of business license • Under “dire circumstances” continued noncompliance could lead to an arrest or citation “Ninety-nine percent of the time, they immediately take action and follow,” Parkinson said, adding that he does not expect his office to issue any citations or make any arrests related to noncompliance. To date, the sheriff ’s office has fielded 357 complaints, and Parkinson said 113 were deemed valid. “If there is any doubt, we follow up on it immediately,” Parkinson said. “We go out and watch the activity of the business and if they are not following the guidelines, we make contact and ask that they cease or follow the guidelines.” Crime in general is down since the shelter-at-home has been in effect. Parkinson also reported a drop in calls for service to the sheriff ’s department. “In the month of March, there was a 1,400 fewer calls,” Parkinson said. “We see people staying at home, less activity, less crime, less calls and reports. That’s a good thing.” While crime is down significantly and most private businesses are facing layoffs or furloughs, Parkinson reported that his department has added deputies and patrols. “The Sheriff ’s office has stepped up patrol,” Parkinson said. “We’ve added more deputies on the street than we’ve ever had. That is for a couple reasons — the public’s concerned. The public is worried, and we want them to feel safe when they see a black and white patrol car out there. The second reason is there is a lot of businesses that are left unoccupied because of the closure. We have a right … a responsibility to protect businesses from crime. So, deploying more deputies is essential during this time.” Parkinson stressed social distancing and personal hygiene as the main concern for citizens, remarking that violations are happening with young people more than others. “What we have noticed a lot is children mingling together on the street, at parks, on beaches, and other things,” Parkinson said. “I want to personally implore parents to not allow this.” Physical distancing guidelines apply to those who do not live in the same household. Anyone who is not sharing the same daily environment is encouraged to stay at lease six feet apart to avoid unknowingly spreading the coronavirus disease COVID-19. “This is how this is potentially transmitted back to your home,” Parkinson said. “As hard as it is for people to be cooped up in the house with their kids all day long, look for other activities to occupy your daughter or son outside the home. Isolate your family from others the best you can.” Parkinson reported a general satisfaction by his office about the response by citizens of SLO County, but it was followed up with caution. “The only concern is moving forward as this thing stretches out is that people could get impatient,” Parkinson said. “People could start deciding they need that social interaction. I would encourage them to please consider the more we are in this together, the more we are going to get through this and restore us back to some sort of normal life.”
