SAN LUIS OBISPO — A new venue location has been chosen for trial of Paul and Ruben Flores, the father-son pair arrested in the 1996 disappearance and death of Kristin Smart.

The trial is moving to Monterey County and a new trial date will be determined at a pre-trial conference on Monday, April 25, at 1:30 p.m. via Zoom.

of Paul (45) and Ruben (80) Flores. The presiding judge, Craig van Rooyen, granted a change of venue of the case on March 30, saying he finds it a reasonable likelihood Paul and Ruben Flores won’t receive a fair and impartial trial in San Luis Obispo County. He added media coverage of the case over time weighed on his decision, specifically how coverage and interest in the case have increased over the years.

The father and son were arrested at their homes in April 2021 in connection with the 1996 disappearance and murder of 19-year-old Cal Poly student Kristin Smart. They were arrested nearly 25 years to the date of Smart’s disappearance.

Smart was last seen with Paul Flores leaving an off-campus party on Crandall Way in San Luis Obispo on May 25, 1996.

Paso Robles City Fire Offering Wildfire Preparedness Workshop The workshop is on April 23, from 9 a.m. until noon at the Public Safety Center on Park Street STAFF REPORT

PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles City Fire Department is offering a Wildfire Preparedness Workshop on Saturday, April 23, from 9 a.m. until noon, at the Public Safety Center, 900 Park Street in downtown Paso Robles.

Residents living in hazardous wildfire

areas are urged to attend. There is no cost for this event.

Every year, devastating wildfires burn across California. While these fires will continue to happen, there are things you can do to help protect your home and neighborhood as well as your family’s safety.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has developed a program based on research to help people learn about wildfires and how they can make their homes and neighborhoods safer. The program shows how to prepare homes to withstand

embers and prevent flames or surface fire from igniting the home and its immediate surroundings by working in an area known as the home ignition zone (HIZ). This is the home and everything around it, generally within 100 feet, although it may be up to 200 feet for homes built on hillsides.

In many neighborhoods, home ignition zones often overlap onto adjacent properties — meaning that homes are closer than 100 feet to one another.

This makes the conditions of neighboring homes and vegetation a part of the wildfire threat. It becomes

extremely important then that neighbors work collaboratively with each other to reduce shared risk. For a neighborhood to survive a wildfire, it must have good neighbors.

The workshop will present information on the three home ignition zones and the selection of fire-resistant plants, and their maintenance. In addition, information will be available regarding roofing materials and eave construction and attic and roof vents that prevent ember entry.

Information on fire resistant deck construction will also be avail-

able. Learn how to make siding less susceptible to ignition from embers and windows resistant to breaking.

Preparedness would not be complete without insuring that emergency responders could find and gain access to your home.

The Paso Robles City Fire Department is sponsoring this program to involve local residents in a program that provides a framework to help neighbors get organized, find direction, and take action to increase the ignition resistance of their homes and communities from wildfire.

CubeSat Now on Display in Paso Library through May Small spacecraft big in space research STAFF REPORT

PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles City Library invites the public to learn about the CubeSats — a class of research spacecraft called nanosatellites — invented at Cal Poly in the late 1990s that have become an international design standard.

Provided to the City of Paso Robles courtesy of the CubeSat Lab in the Engineering Department at Cal Poly, the full-size CubeSat model on display in the library is an ExoCube2 design, first launched into space in 2015 and again in 2021 with a mission to monitor changes in the Earth’s upper atmosphere.

CubeSats can be carried aboard rockets that launch vertically or aboard next-generation vehic les called “spaceplanes” that launch horizontally from airport runways.

Once in space, the CubeSats are released into Low Earth Orbit (LEO), where they autonomously position and orient themselves for their mission in the weightless environment using tiny rocket engines about the size of a person’s thumb.

“Having this CubeSat display available in the City Library is a wonderful opportunity for people to come see an example of what modern satellites look like and see how small they actually are, as well as learn more about modern space technology and the key role Cal Poly plays in it,” said

Roll-Off

Ideal for renovation projects, these extra-large containers are hauled to and from your location and can hold a wide variety of materials.

These temporary containers are dropped off at your house or business and picked up when you’re ready for them to be hauled away. Containers can be placed on streets, driveways or property.

esdavis@pasoschools.org.

District staff will interview all qualified applicants.

Selected candidate will then be agendized for the Board of Trustees approval and appointment to the Citizens’ Oversight Committee.

For any questions regarding the selection process or of the Committee itself, please contact the district office at (805) 769-1000 extension 30105 or email Elena Davis at esdavis@ pasoschools.org.

Paul Sloan, Economic Development Manager for the City of Paso Robles.

City Librarian Angelica Fortin adds, “National Library Week is a great time to recognize the variety of ways libraries ignite discovery and learning in our community.”

Originally created for academic research, today most CubeSat launches are for commercial purposes. Some CubeSats have become many countries’ first-ever satellites.

The library is open Monday thru Friday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Curbside service is available during open hours.

Six Bearcat Athletes Sign National Letters of Intent Student-athletes across four sports announced their post-high school destinations on April 13

BY CAMILLE DeVAUL

PASO ROBLES — Paso Robles High School (PRHS) celebrated their Bearcat athletes signing NCAA National Letters of Intent on April 13 in the Gil Asa Gym. Athletic Director Tori Loney opened the signing ceremony.

“We celebrate you as athletes, but we also have to celebrate those that have supported and encouraged you throughout your growth as a student-athlete,” she said.

Bearcats Tia Dana, Holly DiSimone, Jenelle Loewen, Jacey Loewen, Devynne Linnell, and Devin Mowreader sat with their parents in front of family and friends to sign their letters together. Coaches and students shared their experiences and excitement for what’s to come.

Loney, who is also the stunt coach for PRHS, introduced her two student-athletes, Dana and Linnell, who signed with William Jessup University and will join that school’s stunt team under the direction of head coach Alexis Welch.

The pair were also on the PRHS cheerleading team.

“Tia will be a wonderful addition to this team, and although we will

miss her strength on the mat and as a leader on the team, we can’t wait to see what she ultimately does at the next level,” Loney said of Dana.

Loney also had praise for Linnell.

“Don’t overlook her, because she is a fierce competitor. She wants to win. She must win,” Loney said. “As Devon leaves the Bearcat team at the end of the year, we will certainly miss her goofy antics. My hope is that when she steps onto the mat at Jessup, she is as confident in herself and in her abilities as I have always been.”

Jessup, an NAIA university located in Rocklin, is ranked second in the nation for stunt, and Dana is an elite tumbler and back spot.

She and Linnell will be joining 2021

PRHS graduate Isabella Druding on the Warriors stunt team.

Holly DiSimone will be signing with CSU Bakersfield in swimming.

She broke the 31-year school record for the 100 fly her freshman year and again her junior year at the CIF meet.

“I know she (DiSimone) has many exceptional swims yet to come,” Bearcat swim coach Michael Sauret said.

Devin Mowreader will be playing football for the University of La Verne, an NCAA Division III school in Southern California.

Mowreader is a three-year varsity letter winner, averaging 4.6 yards per carry during his career with the Bearcats.

Paso Robles High football coach Tim Alvord introducing Devin Mowreader, with La Verne.

“Devon is what Bearcat athletics is all about,” said PRHS football coach Tim Alvord. “He is unselfish.

He is a team-first guy. Aside from being an excellent athlete, [with] good speed, strength, agility, he is also a great teammate.”

Twins Janelle and Jacey Loewen will both be signing with Providence Christian College, an NAIA school in Pasadena. The sisters will be joining the Sea Beggars volleyball team at PCC under the direction of Head Coach Chris Chown.

“Jacey and Janelle are both amazing athletes,” Bearcat Volleyball Coach Caleb Ferguson said. “They are even better humans.

“They both have shown outstanding leadership, passion, and dedica-

tion to this program. The list goes on and on with these two. They are everything you could ask for in student-athletes.”

Another Bearcat athlete, Kaitlyn Hebrard, was also recognized for her commitment to playing water polo at Cuesta College.

Hebrard thanked her family and coaches for their support throughout her water polo career.

“I want to say thank you to my parents for being supportive in everything that I do,” she said. “I also want to say thank you to my coaches because they have been here for the past four years, and they have given me their time and knowledge and allowed me to be a better athlete.”

Traffic Records Participates in Record Store Day for Fourth Year The Atascadero establishment will be open at 9 a.m. on April 23 on Record Store Day

BY CHRISTIANNA MARKS

ATASCADERO — For the last 14 years, audiophiles have been lining up outside of independent record stores to snag limited edition LP releases and participate in Record Store Day. And for the fourth consecutive year, Atascadero’s very own Traffic Records will be opening its doors to celebrate Record Store Day’s 15th year at 9 a.m. on April 23.

“We’ve been doing it [Record Store Day] for three-plus years. This is our third official one,” said Traffic Records owner, Manuel Barba, who started participating in Record Store Day as a consumer when it first started. “Technically this is our fourth year because they do Record Store Day in two disbursements. There’s a spring one and a fall one. We were allowed to participate in the fall, the Black Friday version [in 2018]. So this would be our fourth year.”

Traditionally, Record Store Day takes place every April, but they’ve been splitting the drop

in half with the COVID-19 pandemic, releasing some albums in spring and others in fall.

Three-quarters of the list or more will be dropping on April 23, but there will also be a small drop this July.

“I have over 400 pieces coming into the store [for Record Store Day]; it’s probably going to be close to 500,” added Barba.

“I didn’t even get one of everything. Like there are things I didn’t even get on the list,” he adds of all the special edition releases dropping April 23.

Record Store Day is a first-come, first-serve day of vinyl digging. So if you have your eyes set on something specific, you might want to get to Traffic Records early. Barba says that he expects people to start lining up between 5 and 7 a.m., although, because of its location, Traffic Records doesn’t see the intense lines that other record stores can see. And with open container laws in Atascadero, you’ll also be able to sip on Bloody Marys and Mimosas and nom on breakfast burritos while you stand in line before snagging your perfect Record Store Day finds.

“I think people seek our store out because it is a little less dense and less traveled. It’s fun. It’ll be a very relaxed environment, but fun and festive,”

BUSINESS

adds Barba. “I throttle the flow into the store, so I only let in about six people at a time. And then we work them through, get them out the door, and then the next round of folks come through.”

This year, Traffic Record’s festivities will include DJ sets by Soul Dust Productions’ Jason Perez, live music, food by Taqueria Don Jose, drinks by The Raconteur Room, giveaways for all, free swag (including totes and Taylor Swift Record Store Day Ambassador buttons), and a Traffic Records limited edition poster designed

by Kevin Varner for purchase.

“Next year, when we’re on our fifth one, it’ll be our five-year anniversary and our fifth Record Store [Day]; we’ll go real big on that,” Barba said.

“This one, you know, we’re still barely waking up from [the] pandemic, and it didn’t feel right to cram a bunch of people in here and a bunch of activity. I want people to feel safe. So we’ll regulate the flow, and I’m sure we’ll have a line down the street like we usually do.”

Dawn Smith Joins the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce She is the new director of communications and special projects

Paso Robles Rotary ‘Tee it up for OUR kids’ golf tournament is May 7 Proceeds from the tournament benefit youth organizations in Paso Robles

BY CAMILLE DeVAUL

STAFF REPORT

ATASCADERO — The Atascadero Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that it has hired Dawn Smith as director of communications and special projects. Dawn and her husband, Aaron, relocated to California’s Central Coast from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, after he was hired as the new pastor of Hope Lutheran Church. In Pennsylvania, Dawn founded and managed the Development Program for the Adams County Library System. Before that, she was the President and CEO of the Golden and Conifer chambers of commerce in Colorado.

“I am thrilled to have Dawn join the team,” says Josh Cross, president and CEO of the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce. “She has an extensive background in chamber work that we intend to leverage to benefit the business community. Plus, she is energetic, fun, and a pleasure to work with.”

Prior to Chamber work, Dawn served on the development team for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Colorado Chapter, was the

Traffic Records owner Manuel Barba checks on some of the records available in his store.

DAWN SMITH office manager for a law firm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was the newsroom coordinator for KPBS in San Diego, and before all that, made movies for 10 years (including “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me,” “Wag the Dog,” “Living Out Loud,” and “Enemy of the State”).

Currently, she also serves as the director of development for the San Luis Coastal Education Foundation.

Smith loves taking photos while hiking, is a contributor to iStock, and her photos on Google Maps have 24,510,193 views (and counting).

“I am thrilled to dedicate time and energy to my new community and support local business owners and nonprofit leaders in this capacity,” Smith said. “I volunteered to coordinate the Job Fair for the Chamber in September and look forward to officially helping with special events and sharing the value the Chamber offers its members and the community. I love the Central Coast, and Atascadero is truly #atascamazing!”

PASO ROBLES — For the last 27 years, the Paso Robles Rotary Club has been hosting its annual golf tournament (“Tee it up for OUR kids”) to benefit youth organizations in Paso Robles. The tournament brings approximately $30,000 per year, all of which is distributed to organizations that support Paso Robles kids before the next tournament.

The “Tee it up for OUR Kids” golf tournament will be Saturday, May 7, at 8:30 a.m. and held at the Hunter Ranch Golf Course.

Throughout the year, the Rotary hears presentations at meetings and finds needs within the youth committee that they can help. Recently, they purchased a much-needed new mascot suit for Paso Robles High School.

In addition, they have written checks to the Boys & Girls Club, CASA, Youth Arts Foundation, Paso Robles Children’s Museum, Boy Scouts, Morning Star Youth Ranch, Youth Soccer, Youth Works, and SKILLS USA. For the last six years, the Rotary has combined the tournament with a silent auction. The event is expected to draw over 120 players and participating businesses. The auction will be the night before the tournament, May 6, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

“The generous donations from our club

members is the reason for such a successful fundraiser,” Rotary Golf Chair Rick Goree said.

Title sponsors for the event are Sky River RV, Idlers Home, and Pacific Western Bank.

For more information on the Paso Robles Rotary Golf Tournament, visit pasoroblesrotarygolftournament.com or pasoroblesrotary.org for more information on the Paso Robles Rotary Club.

So for 98 years, the Paso Robles Rotary Club has dedicated itself to upholding the Rotary Club values. Other charitable community organizations the Rotary has supported include The Food Bank, Women’s Shelter, Hospice, Pioneer Day Collections and Old

Timers Luncheon, Salvation Army Bell Ringing, and more.

Their biggest event, the Winemaker’s Cookoff, raises funds for local high school senior scholarships. For the past 22 years, the cookoff has raised more than $400,000 for the scholarships. Last year, the Rotary awarded nearly $90,000 to high-school seniors. The 23rd Annual Winemaker’s Cookoff is on Aug. 13 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Paso Robles Event Center.

Stifel Investment Service is the title sponsor for the Winemaker’s Cookoff.

Scams Targeting PG&E Customers as Tax Day Looms Closer Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) warns customers to protect themselves from an increase in scams involving people posing as PG&E employees.

According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), tax season is a prime time for phone scams, and many scammers impersonating utility workers try to steal personal information from unsuspecting victims to file fraudulent tax returns under their names and collect their refunds.

These impostors can be convincing and often also steal money from gas and electric customers by asking for immediate payment to avoid service disconnection.

Scammers tend to focus on those who are most vulnerable and who may be particularly worried about the potential disruption of their gas or electric service. While anyone can be a target, scammers often prey on seniors, low-income families, non-English speakers, and small business owners.

During 2021, PG&E received over 11,000 reports from customers who were targeted by scammers impersonating the company, and customers lost nearly $600,000 in fraudulent payments. Unfortunately, this number is likely just the tip of the iceberg for overall scam attempts, as many go unreported.

• Request for prepaid card: When the customer calls back, the caller asks the customer for the prepaid card’s number, which grants the scammer instant access to the card’s funds.

• Refund or rebate offers: Scammers may say that your utility company overbilled you and owes you a refund, or that you are entitled to a rebate.

How customers can protect themselves Customers should never purchase a prepaid card to avoid service disconnection or shutoff. PG&E does not specify how customers should make a bill payment and offers a variety of ways to pay a bill, including accepting payments online, by phone, automatic bank draft, mail or in person at authorized neighborhood payment center locations.

If a scammer threatens immediate disconnection or shutoff of service without prior notification, customers should hang up the phone, delete the email, or shut the door. Customers with delinquent accounts receive an advance disconnection notification, typically by mail and included with their regular monthly bill. As part of our ongoing comprehensive efforts to help customers financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, residential service disconnections for non-payment continue to be paused.

In addition, PG&E is automatically enrolling all residential and small business customers with past due balances over 60 days in new extended payment arrangements.

Signing up for an online account at pge.com is another safeguard. Not only can customers log in to check their balance and payment history, but they can also sign up for recurring payments, paperless billing and helpful alerts.

Signs of a potential scam • Threat to disconnect: Scammers may aggressively demand immediate payment for an alleged past due bill.

• Request for immediate payment: Scammers may instruct the customer to purchase a prepaid card Scammers Impersonating Trusted then call them back supposedly to Phone Numbers make a bill payment.

Scammers are now able to create

authentic-looking 800 numbers which appear on your phone display. The numbers don’t lead back to PG&E if called back, however, so if you have doubts, hang up and call PG&E at (800) 743-5000. If customers ever feel that they are in physical danger, they should call 911.

County Supervisors Tackle Homeless Issues at Meeting Federal Judge Strikes dogs in the Salinas Riverbed, and afterward Staff proposes new Homeless former Animal Services Center.

During supervisors’ questioning, 1st was verbally confronted by a homeless person. Down CDC Mask Mandate Operations Center and District Supervisor John Peschong welcomed Stern’s statement, read by Renault, said Homeless Division the attempt to get different departments and that filing a report with the sheriff ’s office for Travel on Airplanes

BY MIKE CHALDU

The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors met for its regular meeting Tuesday, April 19, with the most notable agenda item being in the afternoon session, when the board fielded a request to provide direction to the staff in regards to the countywide (and statewide) issue of homelessness.

After the board reconvened for the afternoon session, Joe Dzvonik, the principal homeless analyst for the county, introduced his presentation on the topics staff was seeking direction on. They included: • Update on the Aug. 10, 2021, Spending Plan on Homeless Initiatives • The draft San Luis Obispo Countywide Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness • Approval for staff to evaluate development of a proposed County Homeless Operations/Coordination Center • Approval for staff to pursue the establishment of a Homeless Division with the County Department of Social Services Assisting in the presentation was Atascadero City Councilmember Susan Funk, who is also chair of the board’s Homeless Services Oversight Council.

Funk outlined the services being provided to the homeless currently, including shelters, the safe-parking policy, housing support, and outreach, but said while year-round emergency capacity increased 73 percent in the past year, the county can still house only 20-30 percent of those considered homeless.

“Essentially, we brought a garden hose to a house fire,” Funk said.

Dzvonik continued with the presentation, proposing a Regional Homeless Action Committee comprised of county staff, city managers, and nonprofits. He also suggested the proposed Homeless Operations/Coordination Center be placed at the Oklahoma Avenue building that used to be home to the

organizations together on the homeless issue, noting there are 17 programs aimed at helping the homeless, and they are spread out over 15 departments.

One issue that Peschong had is that efforts to help the homeless can be hindered by addictions or mental health problems a homeless person may have.

“In the core of the homeless program, they’re not in shelters because of addiction or mental health,” he said. “They won’t seek help, and we don’t have a way to compel them to do so.”

Dzvonik said he has discussed with other counties their efforts to push people to seek treatment, but the results have been mixed.

District 5 Supervisor Debbie Arnold echoed Peschong’s sentiments about the homeless efforts being hindered by addictions and mental health, and suggested another group might be added to the RHAC. “In this group, let’s not forget the people in our hospitals,” she said. “We need to work with them and with law enforcement. We need a way to get people help and people aren’t willing to participate.”

The item then went to public comment, which drew a large number of people waiting to weigh in on the topic, including many city officials.

One idea brought up multiple times during public comment was the proposal to establish a Citizen’s Oversight Committee to advise the board on homeless issues. Among them was Sam Blakeslee.

“We would like to add the [oversight committe],” he said. “There needs to external oversight.”

Michael Renault of Templeton brought up the issue from another point of view, reading a statement from his partner Valerie Stern, a mental health worker, who was injured being thrown from her horse during a trail ride. The horse was allegedly spooked by a couple of

was “an ordeal” and animal services said they couldn’t do anything about the dogs.

“These homeless have been here for years now,” Stern’s statement continued. “They’re not trying to pull themselves up and use the system. They are choosing this lifestyle.”

The next speaker, Lindy Owen, a frequent advocate for the homeless at county meetings, said the story from the Salina Riverbed was a reason why the county needs to find facilities for the homeless.

Owen also was pleased with the overall proposal from the county.

“This is nice to see,” she said. “The only thing is there’s a lot of cooks in the kitchen.

We need to pare that down.”

After public comment, the supervisors wrapped up with their comments.

District 3 Supervisor Dawn Ortiz Legg addressed the issue of some homeless not getting help, and suggested that may not necessarily be the case.

“I was told about a person in a warming center who came out of the riverbed several times before he agreed to get help,” she said.

“I think it’s not that they won’t get help, but they just don’t realize the resources are there.”

District 4 Supervisor Lynn Compton was happy with what was proposed, but warned they can’t really do it step-by-step.

“I was concerned that we were talking about housing first before treatment,” she said. “They need to happen at the same time.”

All the supervisors agreed with the concept of a citizen’s oversight board, although Compton wanted to make sure it wouldn’t get too large (“They can get too big and ineffective”), and District 2 Supervisor Bruce Gibson wondered if the HSOC could somehow be turned into some kind of advisory board.

The supervisors directed staff to go forward on the four aspects introduced by Dzvonik, and added in an evaluation of a potential citizen’s oversight board before adjourning.

CDC recently extended the mask order through May 3

BY CASSANDRA FAIRBANKS Guest Journalist

NATIONAL — A federal judge in Florida struck down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) mask mandate for travel on airplanes and other mass transit.

Judge Kathryn Kimball’s ruling on Monday, April 18, applies to flights, buses, and trains. The CDC recently extended the mask order through May 3, citing the BA.2 sub-variant of omicron.

In her ruling, Judge Kimball wrote that the mandate “exceeded the CDCs statutory authority, improperly invoked the good cause exemption to notice and comment rule making, and failed to adequately explain its decisions.” She added, “because ‘our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even if the pursuit of desirable ends,’ the Court declares unlawful and vacates the Mask Mandate.”Judge Kimball concluded that she was “remanding it to the CDC for further proceedings consistent with this order.”

Airlines have been lobbying for the mandate to be removed.

A recent letter signed by

Airlines for America, the American Hotel & Lodging Association, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the U.S. Travel Association said that “with declining hospitalization rates, increased immunity, widely available vaccines and cutting-edge treatments on the horizon, America is reaching an inflection point where endemic-focused policies can replace pandemic-driven restrictions.”

“As leading U.S. travel and business organizations, we respectfully urge the Administration to chart a clear course for replacing pandemic-era travel advisories, requirements, and restrictions with endemic focused policies of a ‘new normal’ that enable travel to resume fully, freely, and safely,” the letter continued.

The Justice Department is permitted to file an appeal and attempt to block the ruling, but it is not clear if they will.

The 35-year-old judge was appointed to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida by former President Donald Trump in 2020. At 33, she was the youngest person chosen by the former president for a lifetime federal appointment.

C

aregivers to someone with cancer spend an average of eight hours per day providing care to their loved one. The demands of caregiving depend on several different things — stage of disease, types of symptoms experienced, treatment side effects, and more. A caregiver’s response to the cancer diagnosis, treatment, and journey itself can be just as important as how the patient responds. This makes the need for physical, social, and emotional support for caregivers essential.

Here are the next set of tips to help caregivers find balance, support, and connection (See last week’s newspaper for the first three): 4. Relax your mind, recharge your body It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the tasks of caregiving. Mini-breaks are an easy way to replenish your energy and lower your stress. Try simple activities like taking a walk around the block or closing your eyes for 10 minutes in a comfortable chair. You are working hard to provide and secure the best care for your loved one. Time spent recharging your mind and body will allow you to avoid depression, major illness, or burnout.

5. Take comfort in others It’s common for many caregivers to feel a loss of personal time over the course of their loved one’s illness. Keep in mind that while you are taking on new and additional responsibilities, you are still allowed a life of your own. Many seasoned caregivers advise that you continue to be involved with your circle of friends and family.

6. Plan for the future A common feeling among caregivers and people with cancer is uncertainty. It’s hard to know what the future holds. While planning may be difficult, it can help. Try to schedule fun activities on days when your loved one is not feeling the side effects of treatment. You can also give yourselves something to look forward to by planning together how you will celebrate the end of treatment or a portion of treatment.

Planning for a future in the long term is also important. All of us, whether we have been diagnosed with cancer or not, should have in place necessary paperwork such as a health-care agent, power of attorney, and a will. You can ask your loved one if he or she needs or wants assistance. Having essential paperwork under control will allow you to have peace of mind.

It’s Kitten Season — It’s Time to Spay/Neuter!

RACHELLE RICKARD

ATASCADERO CITY MANAGER

I

t’s springtime, and love is in the air - which means, of course, it’s going to be kitten season again, very soon!

As adorable, loveable, cuddly, and sweet as cute little kittens can be, allowing our domesticated and community cats to roam about town without having done the

responsible thing of having them spayed or neutered just means we’ll have LOTS more cats in the months and years to come.

We’re calling on all Atascadero residents to help ensure that all cats, both our own household pets and free-roaming community cats, are spayed or neutered. To learn more about having your own household pet spayed or neutered, please call (805) 464-5034 or visit the Woods Humane Society Spay/Neuter program link at woodshumanesociety.org/spayneuter/.

What is a community cat?

These are the kitties that live outdoors and are unowned by anyone. Some are friendly; some

are feral. In times past, people assumed that all stray cats should be treated the same as stray dogs and have turned them into Animal Control.

However, that practice generally isn’t in the best interest of the cat that actually might belong to the neighbor down the street.

It also doesn’t address the many issues that surround unowned community cats, including the fact that they’re usually difficult to adopt, often being very fearful or feral. Additionally, once a community cat is trapped and removed, it’s been proven that another cat will move in to fill that gap, which results in a perpetual cycle of trapping and euthana-

sia of thousands of cats without any notable improvements being made to the community. Prominent animal welfare organizations now strongly advocate for a more responsible approach.

It’s important to know that for these reasons and many more, SLO County Animal Services will now only receive shelter and care for stray cats and kittens that are actually injured, ill, or abandoned. All healthy, free-roaming cats will be left in place.

Residents who find or know of community cats are encouraged to work with local animal rescue groups to ensure these cats are altered through Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) programs. Animal

Services works closely with such groups and with organizations like Woods Humane Society to promote the availability of spay and neuter services for community cats.

This year, SLO County Animal Services has directed $25,000 towards the spay and neutering of community cats. They have partnered with Woods Humane Society to provide the surgeries free of charge to the public. Residents can schedule spay/neuter surgeries for stray and unowned cats with Woods in Atascadero, and the cost of the procedure will be covered

by Animal Services. This program is only available through May and only while funding lasts.

Additionally, the Woods Humane Society Community Cat Spay/Neuter subsidy program, called Project MEOW, is allowing Woods to provide an ultra-lowcost option for feral and community cat sterilization. Cats can be altered under this program for just $25, for as long as funding is available, on a first-come/first-served basis. You can find out more about Community Cat Spay/Neuter programs and Project MEOW at woodshumanesociety.org/ spay-neuter/community-cats/.

As always, if you have any questions regarding this or any other topic concerning the City, please feel free to contact me at rrickard@ atascadero.org.

Pro-Corporate Bias Rears Up in Key Mental Health Ruling

THOMAS ELIAS COMMENTARY

I

t’s well established that the state Public Utilities Commission has a majorleague bias favoring the huge corporations it regulates over consumers they serve.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s leaning is also clear from his refusal to seriously penalize companies like Pacific Gas & Electric even after they’re convicted multiple times of manslaughter – killing their own customers.

And the state Legislature is so obviously in the pocket of large developers and Wall

Pandora’s County Charter Box Dear Editor, If the April 5 Board of Supervisors (BOS) special meeting to discuss the proposed Charter for SLO County was a glimpse of what’s to come should our County adopt a charter, then the future seems distressing. A frequently voiced concern during public comment was the ability for county charters to be continually amended. That concern was validated as Supervisors from both sides of the political aisle, the League of Women Voters, and the public, were all expeditiously vying for the chance to influence the Board to address their issues by the proposed charter. Behavior that seems destined to exponentially proliferate should the Charter pass and be subject to amending.

The conservatives desire the ability to call for a special election should another seat become vacant. Currently, as a General Law County, any midterm vacancy of an elected public official is filled by appointment of the governor.

Dawn Ortiz-legg’s seat on the Board was a result of a governor appointment.

The progressives objected to the proposed charter because

A Note About Our

Street housing investors that it insists upon cities helping them build housing for which there are no assured buyers – housing that’s often likely to sit vacant or become short-term or corporate rentals.

But until now, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the federal court that often gets to oversee California laws, appeared at least somewhat independent.

Yet, it’s a new ruling in a case involving mental health coverage by health insurance companies puts that supposition of integrity into serious doubt.

This case ultimately stems from a 1999 state law called the Mental Health Parity Act, which requires that health insurers cover medically necessary treatment for most mental illness even when insurance policies written earlier explicitly exclude such coverage.

This law is particularly criti-

cal now, while Newsom is pushing a plan to let authorities force the unhoused mentally ill into treatment even if it’s against their will. No one is quite sure how that might be paid for or carried out.

Enter the Ninth Circuit, sowing extreme confusion on the issue. In a decision this spring, a panel there overturned lower court rulings that required a large insurer to reconsider its denials in tens of thousands of claims for mental health, drug and alcohol addiction care – just the kind of treatments Newsom calls for.

The lower court decision, from federal Magistrate Judge Joseph Spero of San Francisco, said United Behavioral Health, manager of mental health services for the giant United Healthcare, acted to “protect its bottom line” via restrictive criteria is set up to deny claims here and in several other states

between 2011 and 2017.

He said the company’s policies did not provide sufficient coverage for treatments within generally accepted standards of care.

But the Ninth Circuit’s baffling, confused decision said group plans don’t have to comply with all generally accepted care standards but only must not conflict with them. Huh? The appeals court said United Behavioral Health’s policies met that standard, and it followed them when denying coverage for both residential and outpatient treatment under plans written for self-insured persons and fully-insured employee groups.

The appeals court ruling came despite unified support for the lower court decision from the American Medical Assn., the American Psychiatric Assn. and other medical groups.

They entered the case because, they said, it could set a precedent

for “all insurance companies that are providing employer-sponsored health benefits.”

But no matter, the Ninth Circuit said in appearing to reverse its own 2011 decision in a case where Blue Shield of California tried to withhold mental health coverage. The court back then said Blue Shield was required under the state law to provide medically necessary health insurance for mental illness on a par with treatment for physical problems.

It cited findings by the state Legislature that mental health coverage limitations “result in inadequate treatment” and cause “relapse and untold suffering” for persons with treatable mental illness.

The Ninth Circuit has now thrown out this previous work, giving insurance companies an apparent license to return to the bad old days when they refused

Letters to the Editor

of the estimated cost for the County for special elections, but only if they don’t get to attach it to an Independent Redistricting Commission.

The League of Women Voters opposed the proposed charter because people are less likely to turn out for a special election; therefore, a lesser percentage of the public would be voting and determining the outcome. Seems a bit of a self-inflicted ailment.

During public comment, certain individuals asked for safeguards to be added to the proposed charter. They cited examples of charters from around the state, some that have reduced the authority of their sheriff, others that had incorporated additional administrative offices or committees, all of which were appointed and all of which would compete with the direct relationship between the supervisors and the electorate.

County Counsel didn’t seem to share the public’s concerns as they rebuffed the requested safeguards. County Counsel didn’t see a need to mention the role of the sheriff and voiced doubt as to the legality of adopting a four-fifths vote by the BOS to pass an amendment. Correspondingly,

however, a two/third’s supermajority is required by both legislative houses to amend the state Constitution.

The coming May 17 meeting will be significant to the fate of our County. Will the benefit of sidestepping future governor appointments outweigh the risks of opening up the County to a train of special interest-driven amendments from all sides of the political spectrum, for years to come? Will our County be set on a course of whiplash as we perpetually rewrite the rules to suit whichever party holds the majority?

Hopefully, people will express concern to their supervisors before the next meeting. May the first line in the Forward of San Bernardino County’s Charter serve as a warning: “The story of San Bernardino County’s Charter before 1913 was the campaign for its adoption. The story after 1913 has been one of campaigns for its amendment.”

Board meetings, as I have two young children that attend the Dual Immersion Program at Georgia Brown Elementary. I can truly say I have been disheartened by what I have witnessed. As many are aware, the district has faced some challenges in recent years, not the least of which has been financial woes stretching back to well before the COVID crisis.

One of these challenges finally landed on my doorstep when the board reaffirmed its decision to relocate the Georgia Brown students to the temporary campus where they clearly do not fit.

This dilemma has been a long time coming. One could argue that the Measure M budget shortfalls should have been the highest priority the last couple of years, but sadly other agendas stole focus from the board.

When the board finally set themselves to making the difficult decision on what was to be done about the grossly overpromised Measure M funds juxtaposed with the district’s declining enrollment, they went completely off the rails. The course of action chosen ignored the exploratory 7/11 committee’s and district staff ’s recommendations. The “double move” option agreed upon flew in the

face of many legitimate parental and staff concerns. Board Trustees offered no reasonable explanations for why they chose that option beyond it was what they felt was “fair.” The $100,000 plus price tag of the “double move” echoed the questionable decisions made by the board just a few years earlier, which led to its labeling as a “cautionary tale” by the SLO County Grand Jury.

Indignation and hubris exhibited by several Trustees after parents requested that the decision be revisited at the March 22 meeting left many parents insulted and disillusioned. The parents of this community expect more from the districts leadership.

My hope is the people of the City of Paso Robles sit up and pay attention as their hardearned tax dollars are frittered away by trustees that willfully put political ideals and pet projects before fiscal solvency and sound judgment. As is always the case, these chickens will come home to roost. Hopefully, the people of Paso Robles won’t be left with half-empty schools, half-completed construction projects, and budgets deep in the red. It wasn’t all that long ago this district teetered on the brink of being taken over by the state due to financial insol-

to provide almost any mental health coverage.

The court’s reasoning here leaves a lot of open questions about what kinds of mental health care the companies must provide in California. Clearly, these will not be as broad in the future as they have been for most of the last 20 years.

The fact this comes at a time when Newsom’s planned remedy for homelessness includes a strong mental health treatment component lends a great irony to the picture and involves especially bad timing.

But it should hardly shock anyone, considering how long and how thoroughly the political and legal apparatus in this state has favored corporations over their customers.

National Day of Prayer at the Sunken Garden’s Atascadero Dear Editor, The North County will have an opportunity to gather to celebrate America’s National Day of Prayer in Atascadero on Thursday, May 5. There will be two events: a brief gathering at noon for prayer and a full program at 6 p.m both at the Sunken Gardens in Atascadero.

Paso Robles pastor Gabe Abedlaziz will be one of the speakers. Podcaster/God Bless America! Radio host Donn Clarius will be the master of ceremonies, as well as direct the inter-faith choir. All are urged to bring a lawn chair because seating is limited.

This year’s theme is “A Nation Stands Tallest When It’s On Its Knees!” America is unique because our patriotic songs are actually hymns to almighty God. Donn Clarius, Atascadero

little on the framey side and that he was also very hard to please.

I called him back and said, “The bull is structurally correct, heavily muscled, has a powerful toolbox, and has exceptional numbers. The only negative thing is that he’s probably a frame score 5.” I swear that’s all I said.

The next thing you know, I was fired from the breeder’s annual production sale, never got another ad, was taken off his Christmas card list, and if I saw him in public, he wouldn’t even speak to me. I found out from a fellow road agent that the reason my friend had given the bull consignor for not buying his bull was, “Lee Pitts told me the bull wasn’t any good.”

I knew the breeder was irate, so the next time I was in his neck of the woods, I dropped by. I was met at the front door by a good looking teenager, and I asked to see her father. I was led to the kitchen table where I extended my hand in friendship, and to lighten the mood, I said to the bull buyer, “Your daughter who let me in sure is a beautiful girl.”

“That’s not my daughter,” he replied, “that’s my son.”

So we were off to a great start.

Open mouth, insert other foot.

I’d considered offering up a good excuse for not buying the bull like, “I was emotionally wobbly that day.” Or “I was having technical difficulties” (it works for the cable companies). Or, “I tried to bid, but the auctioneer never saw me.”

Instead, in a moment of higher consciousness, I realized there’s no gentle way to prick a balloon.

So I bared my soul and told the truth. Midway through my mea culpa, a lady walked into the kitchen and served a plate of brownies which were some of the best I’d ever sampled. Again, trying to lighten the mood, I said, “Your wife sure is a good cook.”

“That’s not my wife,” he said, “that’s my daughter.”

I think this example clearly illustrates another reason why cattlemen trusted me to buy their bulls: I have such a good eye.

‘God’s Bread from Heaven: Manna’ Exodus 16:1-16

dr. gary barker COLUMNIST

O

ne of the greatest miracles that God performed for the nation of Israel, that numbered in the millions, was to provide bread from heaven which they called “manna.” The word “manna” is from the Hebrew language, which literally means “What Is It?” (Exodus 16: 15,31). When the Israelites saw the manna, they didn’t recognize what it was. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.

God provided this food while the people were marching thru the desert of Sin on their way to Mt Sinai. Obviously, there was no food to eat in the desert, and the people began to complain

about starving to death. They told Moses that they wished they had died in Egypt, where they had a lot of food to eat.

They falsely accused Moses of leading them into the wilderness to starve them to death (Exodus 16:3-4). The Lord responded to the peoples’ complaints and slander by telling Moses that He would provide both manna and quail for them to eat. The Lord gave Moses instructions on how the manna was to be gathered and eaten. Moses told the people that the Lord heard their grumbling and would cause it to cease by manifesting His glory and power (Exodus 16:6-10).

The provision of manna would demonstrate that the Lord truly brought His people out of Egypt and had no intention of starving them to death. This sinful problem of complaining and grumbling will increase along with slandering God’s leader and blaspheming God’s character and will bring severe

discipline in the future. God hates slander and blasphemy that they expressed because they were unthankful. God purposely desired to display His holy character and glory in providing manna so that the people would know that the Lord Jehovah was their God (Exodus 16:11-12).

God, in His power, miraculously supplied the need to satisfy the hunger of all the people. God is both able and willing to love and care for His own people.

The apostle John tells us in the New Testament Gospel of John that the manna in Exodus 16 was a prophetic type or picture of the Lord Jesus Christ. ( John 6:22-40). Jesus claimed to be the true bread sent by God from heaven. Jesus declared: “I am the Bread of Life” who would give everlasting life to the world ( John 6:35, 47-48). The manna that was provided in Moses’ time didn’t provide everlasting life ( John 6:35, 47-48), but Jesus could.

Christ would die for the sins of the world and rise from the dead and give everlasting life to everyone who would believe in Him ( John 3:16, 5:24, 6:47, 58).

Christ came from heaven to save sinners from perishing in hell and to provide everlasting life in heaven ( John 14:1-6). I hope and pray that you have believed in and accepted Jesus as your personal Savior.

Lessons to Be Learned 1. God is not pleased when we are unthankful and grumble and complain to Him. 2. God is omnipotent and loving and is completely able to meet all of our needs. Let’s TRUST Him. 3. Jesus is the “Bread of Life” from heaven and will give everlasting life to everyone who believes in Him.

Counter-Human Trafficking Task Force s a n luis ob isp o coun t y

By SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTER-HUMAN TRAFFICKING TASK FORCE BOARD

The Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell Case

BY SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY ANTIHUMAN TRAFFICKING BOARD

S

ex trafficking. Human trafficking. Commercial sexual exploitation of children.

Modern-day slavery. These are all terms that catch the eye, evoke emotion, and grab news and social media headlines. The proliferation of human trafficking education and awareness among general citizens as well as the law enforcement community has caused a constant flow of headlines and breaking news where human trafficking rings have been infiltrated, pimps have been arrested, and victims rescued. These headlines come from the big cities and small towns and have involved many common criminals as well as the rich and famous. Arguably, one of the biggest international headlines in recent years surrounded the arrests of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Maxwell is a former British socialite who was involved in a long-term relationship with the now deceased Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell has been described as a key recruiter of teenage girls for Epstein and has been depicted as a crucial component of Epstein’s sexual abuse conspiracy. In 2021, Maxwell was tried by a jury of her peers and ultimately found guilty of a variety of charges, including child sex trafficking.

Maxwell was convicted on five of six charges related to her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of minor girls from 1994 to 2004. Epstein died in jail on August 10, 2019, apparently deceased from suicide, although there remains much speculation about the actual cause of death. Due to the fact that Epstein died prior to being tried for his crimes, countless victims will never see justice, and a cloud of doubt will likely remain over the circumstances leading to his death as it really is not clear what really happened to him.

OUR SE LL Y

STUFF

The Epstein/Maxwell case captivated the 24-hour news cycle for what seemed like an eternity. The connections to high society and the rich and famous made it much more newsworthy in many respects, but the bottom line is that Epstein and Maxwell were no different than street level pimps and traffickers.

Epstein and Maxwell exploited the vulnerable for their personal and financial gain. They were no different than the human traffickers that hover like vultures on the tracks and blades of The United States seeking the next victim to pimp out and exploit and use and abuse until they are no longer a viable and useful commodity.

Epstein and Maxwell were no different than street level pimps in that their behavior appeared to have been a long-term, well-coordinated business of exploiting others.

Rather than using the internet, social media platforms, and motels to exploit girls, Maxwell and Epstein used a private island in large part to conduct their business. Rather than having victims work the circuit and walk the street, the victims were transported to what, at face value, would appear to be paradise on earth. But they victimized the girls just in the same way as the ones that are too often forced to walk prostitution corridors in some of the most treacherous neighborhoods in our country. Just like the traffickers, the sex buyers and abusers reportedly came from backgrounds of wealth and fame. Despite their clout, the sex buyers still rented the bodies of vulnerable victims for their own

sexual gratification making them no different from the johns and sex buyers that exploit victims in a car, in a brothel, or in a seedy motel.

The only difference is that Epstein’s clients did their exploiting in the lap of luxury. To restate it, Maxwell and Epstein were nothing more than ruthless pimps, victimizing the weak for their own satisfaction and

must wonder what the result of an appropriate sentence would be and what it would mean to the victims of not only those acts but also the ones he and Maxwell engaged in, which led to Maxwell’s conviction in 2021.

One must also wonder why such a lenient punishment was handed down when Epstein deserved much more.

Subsequent to her conviction on charges related to sex trafficking in 2021, Maxwell appealed to the court and requested a new trial. This tact is common across the spectrum of the criminal justice system and is almost always an automatic legal move by a defendant once a conviction takes place in a jury trial.

Appeals are almost an automated procedure in the court process these days. Maxwell claimed that one of the jurors charged with evaluating the evidence of the case was not completely forthcoming in their juror questionnaire, and therefore a new trial was requested and deserved. Fortunately, a judge reviewing the motion for a new trial found that there was no bias toward Maxwell and that the jurors’ service was fair and impartial.

Maxwell remains in custody pending sentencing in the summer of 2022.

This result as it pertains to Maxwell is good and well, and we as a society should be grateful that a sexual predator has been held accountable. But from an investigative perspective, one must wonder: What about the rest of the abusers, co-conspirators, and perpetrators?

Ghislaine Maxwell had a public trial and was found guilty by a

That question is a tough one to answer. It is easy to speculate on, but to truly answer, is difficult. One can only hope that with time, more of the truth will come out, and the victims will have a more complete sense of closure and justice.” supplying flesh at a cost for their associates.

It is of note that Epstein’s arrest in 2019 was not his first run in with the law surrounding his abusive actions and behaviors. In 2005, Epstein was the subject of a criminal investigation surrounding allegations of abusing a fourteen-year-old female. Epstein was convicted of procuring a child for prostitution in what many have called a controversial plea agreement. It was controversial because although over thirty girls were identified as victims of Epstein, Epstein served just over a year in custody for his crimes in what appears to be a huge miscarriage of justice.

jury of her peers. Clearly, there was evidence presented in court to the jury. Clearly, the evidence was compelling enough to convict Maxwell and hopefully sentence her to live out the rest of her life behind bars. But what about the customers. What about the sex buyers and sexual abusers that were customers of Epstein and Maxwell? As far as we know, and we may not know it all, but at this point in time, not a single customer of Epstein and Maxwell’s has been arrested. To date, it appears that no one has been identified, arrested, or charged with having sex with young girls on Epstein Island.

It appears to be common knowledge that royalty, politicians, and people from the entertainment industry, among others, visited Epstein Island, which has also been known as “Pedophile Island,” “Orgy Island,” and “Island of Sin.” Yet, no one to date has been held accountable.

Looking through an investigator’s lens, it seems that the next steps should be to hold the sex buyers and abusers accountable, as they too were sexually abusing young women and girls. The pimps, who were the suppliers, were arrested and charged. What about the demand?

Why does there appear to be a shroud of secrecy looming over the identity of the sex buyers and customers? The fact that we don’t know and the fact that no one to date has been arrested or charged appears to be a failure of our justice system and the investigative process, as well as a slap in the face to the victims. The million-dollar question is who they are and why are they not being called to account for their role. That question is a tough one to answer. It is easy to speculate on, but to truly answer, is difficult. One can only hope that with time, more of the truth will come out, and the victims will have a more complete sense of closure and justice. Only time will tell.

listing the new businesses involved.

It was a busy weekend for all participating wineries, restaurants, and olive oil creators as locals and tourists alike made an appearance where they could drink and eat for a good cause. There were plenty of other festivities to enjoy as well.

“Events included special dinners and wine tastings, live music, fundraising match challenges, pet portraits, vineyard dog walks, raffles, special dog treats and bandanas, silent auctions, an animal fashion show, and more,” said Jamie Relth, Woods’ communications manager. “Some wineries also offered shipping deals for those who

wanted to participate from home.”

Proceeds from the Wine 4 Paws weekend go directly to Woods Humane Society, who since their founding in 1955, have had a hand in saving and rehoming countless animals in the San Luis Obispo County.

“Woods Humane Society is a privately funded, non‐profit, animal sheltering and welfare organization that annually places more than 3,000 dogs and cats into loving homes,” Relth said. “All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to being placed for adoption. Woods spends an average of $800 to care for each animal and receives no tax funds to support its mission.

Instead, it is supported by

In 2021, Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered the State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB) to consider adopting emergency regulations by May 25, 2022. This executive order would require the city to reduce water use by 20 percent. It would also consider a ban on irrigation of non-residential ornamental turf and require water use to be reported.

Relth said the event’s turnout and support is greatly appreciated.

“I’m always so moved

by Wine 4 Paws because it unites so much of the community for one weekend of really generous, joyful giving due to a shared love for dogs and cats,” Relth said. “We are so fortunate to live in a place where people are so compassionate toward animals. Woods could not do what it does for so many homeless animals without this broad support from every corner of the county. We are truly grateful.”

However, he did have an affinity for science and chemistry.

After slowly being introduced to wine, Myers began making his own at home — soon realizing the science behind the nearly ancient drink. And that was the start of a four-decade career in winemaking.

Myers is notable for creating approachable wine that even the most experienced wine drinkers enjoy.

Notable figures in the local wine industry like Steve Peck of J. Lohr Vineyards and Wines, John Munch, and Gary Eberle discuss their experiences with Myers and his contributions to the industry.

“I do feel like I have contributed to this field and this area,” he said. “I didn’t want my history to be completely forgotten. I like being a part of the record. I’m one of many — somebody is going to have to write the history of this area.”

Myers came to Paso Robles after receiving his Mas­ter’s in food sci­ence with an enology/​v iticulture focus from UC Davis. In 1978, he joined Estrella Vineyards as their assistant winemaker. At the time, Myers says he could count all the Paso Robles wineries on one hand.
