Peschong: San Luis Obispo County faces significant challenges, including an increase in crime and a worsening homelessness crisis. I believe we need steady, tested leadership on the Board of supervisors that will support law enforcement and address homelessness with compassion and accountability. I am excited to continue that work and preserve North County as the special and unique place we all have the privilege of calling home.

TEMPLETON — Templeton Tennis Ranch [TTR] finally has a permit in hand to start construction on its upcoming pool. The competition lap pool will be 25 yards long and feature eight lanes.

won’t be sustainable — in terms of water, housing, tax base, or quality of life — unless we have rational and effective leadership on our county Board of Supervisors. I’m the candidate with the skills and experience to change that situation and help move the county forward.

I’m a small business owner, council member, and mother.

I have owned a small business for 30 years, doing data-driven management consulting. As Atascadero Mayor Pro Tem and a Councilmember since 2018, I have a track record of bringing people together to solve problems. In Atascadero, I led the formation of local partnerships between law enforcement and mental health experts for dealing with homeless individuals and worked to reduce homeless encampments and toxic runoff. I’ve increased local funding for 911 emergency response, police/fire protection, and repairing potholes. At the County level, I led the development of a new countywide strategic plan on homelessness that was approved by all five County Supervisors and is just starting to be implemented. I’m not afraid to tackle tough issues to make change.

Moreno: I am running for Supervisor to bring experienced, competent leadership to the county and put the needs of our residents first. As the Mayor of Atascadero for the last five years, we have successfully brought people together to advance positive change. I look forward to bringing that same collaborative, forward-thinking approach to the county.

I have 14 years of experience in local government. I served on Atascadero’s Planning Commission, was appointed and elected to the Atascadero City Council, and have served as Mayor since 2018. Under my leadership, the City of Atascadero fully funded and staffed its police department, invested in infrastructure repairs and improvements, worked collaboratively with community organizations to help tackle the homelessness crisis, and paved over 52

enforcement of our local laws, that are creating a situation where more people are accepting services, getting housed or receiving shelter.

We must take a similar collaborative, compassionate, and strong approach to dealing with homelessness at the County level. Millions in taxpayer dollars and years of government bureaucracy have failed to solve this issue. We need leadership on the Board of Supervisors willing to set direction across jurisdictions so that law enforcement, mental health practitioners, and nonprofit organizations are all working together with the ultimate goal of getting people off the streets and into some form of transitional or supportive housing.

We need to ensure accountability for the millions of dollars we put into homeless programs.

The County has had a 10-year plan and two 5-year plans and allocated a tremendous amount of taxpayer money to the problem, but it’s not getting better.

The 2023 Annual Report of the Citizens’ Homeless Accountability Commission finds that “Allocating significant resources to ‘service provider recruitment and retention’ must be quantitatively related to the actual benefit provided to those the plan is seeking to prevent from falling into homelessness.

Otherwise, these expenditures could become a funding blackhole that devotes resources for staff without knowing if the benefits are commensurate with the costs.” We need an audit of the public funds spent both on County administration and with our nonprofit partners to determine what’s working and what needs to change.

Peschong: Public Safety.

Paso Robles Rotary Club marks a century of service Community gathered to honor Rotarians and celebrate 100 years with food, drinks, and camaraderie

By CAMILLE DEVAUL

PASO ROBLES — On Saturday night, Jan. 27, the Rotary Club of Paso Robles celebrated a century of service to our community at the Paso Robles Event Center.

The full Frontier Building offered live music, drinks, food, and plenty of camaraderie. A history of the local Rotary Club was given, and

long-standing and important members of the club were honored.

Since its inception in 1924, this esteemed service club has been an unwavering force for positive change in the community.

The roots of the Paso Robles Rotary Club trace back to the vision of J. Valentine Wachtel Jr., president of the Paso Robles National Bank, in the early 1920s. His commitment to forming a local Rotary Club, comprised of individuals of “unquestioned honor and integrity,” materialized in CONTINUED ON PAGE A7

NORTH COUNTY LIFE

What one part of the County government would receive more attention if you were elected?

Funk: Housing. Too many long-time residents end up moving away because their adult children can’t find housing here that they can afford, so their grandchildren are being raised somewhere else. We can’t sustain the SLO county economy, address homelessness, or preserve our quality of life without expanding housing. Specifically, we need to ensure the development of more options for housing that working people, young careerists, and downsizing seniors can afford, and additional supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness. We need to do so without bulldozing all the open space we treasure.

Moreno: Homelessness.

Treating people with compassion must be the core of how we solve this issue. At the same time, we must recognize and bring accountability to those who break the law. In Atascadero, we proactively partner with community organizations that offer shelters, shower services, and meals to those in need. We have partnered with the County’s Community Action Team, embedding mental health and crisis workers with law enforcement to provide help for some of the most vulnerable and fragile individuals in the homeless community. It is these very actions, combined with

What do you see as the most pressing needs for infrastructure or capital projects in the County?

Funk: In addition to road projects, water and wastewater treatment projects are essential to making sure all residents have access to safe CONTINUED ON PAGE A2

drinking water. For roads, we need to repair storm damage and repair or keep rural roads in good condition. Intersection improvements are needed not just in South County but also on the 101 at Highway 46, and the vital safety improvement project at the Cholame Y on Highway 46 needs to be completed.

The Atascadero wastewater treatment plant upgrade and expansion is vital and may end up including new recycled water options. Central Coast Blue will be important, as will some version of or alternative to a potential project in Paso Robles to selectively recycle treated water and blend it with Nacimiento water as irrigation or as an alternative to groundwater use.

Moreno: Plain and simple, we need to fix our roads.

While I served as Mayor, we paved over 52 miles of roads in Atascadero. Potholes and torn up roads are a direct financial burden on residents that have to pay more in auto repair costs.

Poor-quality roads increase traffic and carbon emissions and diminish the quality of life in our communities. I am entirely committed to getting back to the basics and investing in street and road repairs.

Peschong: Our rural roads need to be made a priority again for San Luis Obispo County.

What is your industry, economy and jobs forecast for our area of SLO County?

Funk: The economic forecast for our area is positive over the next several years. Atascadero, in particular, is on the cusp of new improvements I have supported downtown that will increase pedestrian safety, add about 150 spaces of free parking, and transform the downtown experience. That means more restaurants and shopping and more thriving local businesses! Countywide, some projects related to wind energy and spaceports will move forward as they evolve in response to feedback and testing, but they won’t produce a lot of jobs quickly. Diablo Canyon will continue to be an important source of jobs and non-greenhouse gas-emitting energy. Additionally, our area will continue to attract remote workers from the Bay Area and Los Angeles.

Moreno: My industry, economy, and jobs forecast for our area of SLO County is focused on sustainable growth, diversification, and job creation.

First, we need to create more economic opportunities by making our county attractive to successful investors. This can be accomplished with investing in improved broadband access for residences and businesses, streamlining the permitting and regulatory process at the County, and working with developers to get to “yes” on new job-rich commercial, industrial, and workforce housing projects. We can also work with Cal Poly SLO and Cuesta College to provide a pipeline to local careers for graduates who want to stay in the area.

Peschong: We need to roll back some of the regulations from the state of California that restrict our small businesses from being able to start or expand.

County budgets play a significant role in local governance. How do you plan to manage the county’s budget effectively while meeting the needs of the community?

Funk: Managing the county budget in a time of scarce resources requires clear-eyed focus on operational efficiency to get the most out of every dollar, combined with strategic investments to improve the County’s long-term fiscal health. As county supervisor, I’ll implement real solutions on housing, homelessness, and water supply, while maintaining roads and public safety. I’ll retain local small businesses and jobs and expedite development of housing that’s affordable for workers and seniors while preserving open space from overdevelopment.

I’ll work to see that the Board of Supervisors engages in less political bickering and provides clear, consistent direction over time so that county employees can work more efficiently and give people and businesses better service. My experience in business and on the City Council and Finance Committee in Atascadero will help in this work.

Moreno: With my background as a Certified Public Accountant, I have deep knowledge of managing and auditing budgets. I spent many years auditing entities like banks, mortgage companies, and governments. I will use my experience in auditing to ask informed questions of the senior staff and department heads so that the public will be confident that every effort is being made to ensure our resources are being used properly.

D ur ing my time as Atascadero Mayor, I helped ensure responsible spending, a balanced budget, and solid rainy-day reserves. It is because of such policies that the city weathered the financial challenges of COVID19 without significant cuts to important services, like public safety. I will take a similar approach at the county level, ensuring we make smart, taxpayer-friendly decisions, such as limiting our longterm financial obligations and avoiding unneeded government expansion. We need to require detailed justification for new annual spending, fully fund our reserves, and audit departmental expenditures each budget cycle.

Peschong: I believe one of the most important jobs of a county supervisor is to maintain fiscal responsibility and be a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars. I am dedicated to promoting responsible budgeting practices that prioritize essential services such as public safety, homelessness, and water while minimizing unnecessary expenditures and maintaining a balanced budget.

County Super visors often deal with land use and zoning issues. How would you balance the interests of property owners, developers, and community members in such decisions?

Funk: Land use and zoning issues are governed by guiding principles and specific requirements in planning documents such as regional plans. I will insist on robust public engagement so that people have a voice in how their communities will develop. Clear plans also help people develop more realistic expectations about what they — or their neighbors — might do with their properties now or in the future. In general, I respect people’s freedom to do what they want with a property they own, to the extent it is consistent with whatever regional plan is in place and

does not unduly affect neighbors. I keep an open mind and do my homework: I study plans and do site visits to make sure I understand the proposal and any concerns raised, and listen carefully to whatever input is provided. I also track the questions or concerns people raise during public comments, and I check to make sure each one is answered or addressed. I also actively encourage people to show up and make comments on these kinds of projects, particularly in early phases of the project, and I encourage all parties to focus their comments as much as possible on the issues that are specified as the basis for the decision.

Moreno: Here in SLO County, we have a 2 percent cap on housing growth every year, and we’ve never come close to meeting it. Increased housing supply is an important answer to the affordability crisis, and we need to do it by streamlining the permitting and zoning process and ensuring we are building housing in areas with as much existing infrastructure as possible, like in and around our cities.

Balancing this with neighborhood compatibility is critical. Our community is saying they want more housing for the generations coming up to be able to afford to live here if they want and not be forced to move out of state. This requires that we grow in responsible ways that honor our small-town/ rural community while keeping SLO County affordable for our residents.

Peschong: We have to take the anger out of these issues and have conversations with our county residents about what will benefit our community.

The County Board of Supervisors plays a role in public safety. How would you work to ensure the safety of residents while promoting fair and just policing practices?

Funk: I believe that protecting public safety requires an effective, unbiased law enforcement structure, staffed by first responders who are wellpaid, equipped, trained, and supported by mental health professionals. Comprehensive disaster management plans are also required, along with mental health and addiction services for county residents. An effective, unbiased, and resource-rich law enforcement structure is crucial, whether in the Sheriff ’s and DA’s offices, jails, or courts.

Further, our first responders, who are so critical in emergencies, deserve competitive compensation and state-of-the art equipment. They must also have access to rigorous training and the support of mental health professionals in order to face the many challenges they will encounter. Natural calamities such as earthquakes, floods, and wildfires are an ever-present and increasing threat to county residents and businesses.

We need to emphasize the need for rigorous preparedness and promote measures such as pre-established evacuation zones and shelters to ensure swift and systematic responses during crises. I played a pivotal role in shaping Atascadero’s ZoneHaven blueprint, which, in case of wildfires, makes it possible to manage traffic flow and quickly evacuate at-risk residents.

Moreno: Public safety is the core responsibility of any government. I am a strong advocate for public safety and a supporter of local law enforcement. During my time serving

as Mayor of Atascadero, we increased funding and staffing for public safety, adding five new police officers and one new dispatcher. We also made additional investments in safety infrastructure like a new computer-aided dispatch and records management system that allow law enforcement to spend more of their time directly interfacing with the community and reducing crime. We budgeted funds to begin replacement of a 70+ year old fire station, and our city led the way in implementing a new disaster notification and evacuation system that has now become the gold standard for all jurisdictions in San Luis Obispo County.

As a County Supervisor, I will bring this same commitment to public safety. I will work collaboratively with the Sheriff ’s Office to make strategic investments that enhance technology, improve operations, and lower response times. I’m honored to have the support of local law enforcement professionals and organizations, like the Atascadero Police Association and Atascadero Professional Firefighters.

Fair and just policing practices are crucial to the safety of our overall community, and it begins with building trust.

I support the efforts of both our Sheriff ’s Department and District Attorney’s Office in working with the public, launching new engagement programs, and making sure that there is meaningful outreach to community members who have historically had challenging relationships with the criminal justice system.

Peschong: I will continue to prioritize neighborhood safety, working diligently to secure the necessary resources, partnerships, and initiatives that foster a safe and secure San Luis Obispo County for all its residents.

Many counties are facing challenges related to affordable housing. What policies or initiatives do you support to address housing affordability in our county?

Funk: Legislation that provides financial support to make it more profitable or feasible for builders to create additional affordable housing units is particularly helpful, as is down payment support. The funding stream is much too complex — we need a combination of greater accountability, more flexibility, and more funding. Funding for infrastructure that supports affordable housing development would be helpful. I am cautiously optimistic about the recent YIGBY law and possibly other steps to help churches, school districts, colleges, and other employers develop employee/ student/affordable housing on their lands. I support recent laws facilitating expansion of ADUs, so long as septic requirements are considered where applicable. In general, I prefer approaches that maximize local control and flexibility in achieving goals. I have worked to ensure a sustainable long-term supply of safe drinking water, which is essential for housing. I would also consider legislation that made it easier for coastal communities to develop the water supply and wastewater capabilities needed to accommodate growth in multi-family and owner-occupied housing.

Moreno: As I mentioned, we have a 2 percent cap on housing growth every year, but we have never come close to meeting it. The issue of housing supply is directly

atascaderonews.com • pasoroblespress.com

tied to the issue of affordability and the high cost of living that is pushing families out of our community. I support new housing opportunities that bring affordability to our community. In Atascadero, I championed a variety of tools to reduce costs, such as stock ADU plans, objective design standards, simplifying processes, and impact fee deferrals for low-income development.

At the county we need to streamline the permitting and zoning processes and eliminate duplicative and unnecessary regulations. Reducing regulatory barriers to new housing development will allow for more housing to come online, and streamlining and simplifying the permitting process is a key part of accomplishing that goal.

I support looking at county-owned land, where it makes sense in terms of location and available infrastructure, to partner with organizations like People’s Self Help Housing or private developers to provide affordable and/or workforce housing. We should also consider allowing businesses with available land to build housing for their employees.

Peschong: I support incentivizing affordable housing builders with permit fee reductions and tax incentives.

Transparency and accountability are crucial in local government. What measures will you implement to ensure that county government remains open and accessible to residents?

Funk: Transparency involves both disclosure and listening.

My door will be open. And, when considering matters before the SLO County Board of Supervisors, I will solicit ideas and concerns from a broad cross-section of the community. I’ll listen to and engage with advisory groups such as the Creston Advisory Body, and make sure they get better information about the status and issues related to projects in their areas. I’m committed to communicating regularly about key issues coming up as well as actions taken so that people know what’s happening and how and when to get involved. I promise to push toward datadriven management so that the Board can evaluate whether measures they implement are having the desired effect and to share those evaluations with the public. I have pushed for better data to measure and manage homelessness efforts, and I will insist that a meaningful dashboard of results be developed and shared using the new 10-agency system for homeless information that’s being implemented starting in March. I also support an independent redistricting commission because gerrymandering district boundaries undermines accountability and deprives voters of their voice.

Moreno: I agree that transparency and accountability are crucial and have always made that a priority as an elected official. Discussion leads to collaboration and “buy-in” with all sides involved. In Atascadero, I led the initiative to launch “Talk on the Block” in partnership with the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce. These gatherings provided a casual, comfortable environment for citizens to meet Council Members and city staff in their own neighborhoods, to talk about city operations, ask questions, and provide

feedback. Residents expressed appreciation at having this type of access to their government, and it enabled the city to resolve neighborhood issues more quickly.

As a County Supervisor, I will be committed to regular communication with constituents and always being accessible to anyone who wants to be a part of the policy conversations we are having. I will maintain a top-down culture of accountability and transparency so that staff understands they are required to provide access and communication to the public.

Peschong: As a county supervisor, it is essential that I am available to the public and that it is not difficult for them to reach me. My office works every day to solve problems of our constituents, problems that we would not know about if we were not accessible to the people of District 1.

If elected, how does your presence change the dynamic of the BoS and lead to the accomplishment of your goals for our region, and the improvement of our county’s future?

Funk: The 5th District Supervisor has a distinctive role to play, with one foot in the land of cattle ranches and vineyards and the other foot in the land of bike lanes and brew pubs. I’ll make sure each part of the district gets what it needs to thrive. I will be a strong voice for North County in the majority political coalition of the Board of Supervisors. That means I can get more done for our region. I’ll make sure that the needs of North County and rural voters don’t get ignored at the expense of urban voters. At the same time, I will look for ways for urban areas to get their needs met that don’t come at the expense of rural voters — even when “sticking it to the libs” might be popular with many rural voters. We are all in this together.

My presence on the Board will contribute to moderate, fact-based leadership and more stable policies that will enable and require county employees to get stuff done instead of spending their time worrying about whether the next election is going to cause a big shift in direction.

Moreno: With a background as a Certified Public Accountant and experience auditing governments, I bring vast knowledge about how to streamline budgets, eliminate duplicative costs, and keep budgets in the black. This experience will help our county ensure we are using taxpayer money efficiently so we have more to spend on projects that can truly make a difference in San Luis Obispo County.

Peschong: If re-elected, my continued presence on the Board of Supervisors will allow me to utilize the relationships and experience I have developed over the last eight years with the existing Board and county staff members to continue to work to accomplish our goals of preserving San Luis Obispo County as the best county to live in the state of California.

What single message or aspect of your candidacy do you believe sets you apart as the best choice for the County Board of Supervisors, and why is it important for the residents of our county to consider this when voting?

Funk: I’m the best candidate because I can do so much CONTINUED ON PAGE A7

Atascadero announces Request for Qualifications for the development of Centennial Plaza Lots The City of Atascadero has unveiled a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the development of the Centennial Plaza Lots located at 5901 East Mall.

This initiative presents a chance to unlock the full business potential of one of Downtown Atascadero’s prime locations, offering opportunities for restaurant, retail, entertainment, and more, with additional prospects for office and residential spaces on upper floors.

Situated in the heart of the Downtown Commercial Zone, these vacant lots stand adjacent to the historic City Hall and frame Centennial Plaza, offering proximity to Atascadero Creek and the Sunken Gardens, where a plethora of events take place throughout the year.

Spanning between a city-owned public parking lot, East Mall Avenue, and a pathway paralleling Atascadero Creek, the Centennial Plaza Lots consist of two parcels: one measuring 75 feet wide and 100 feet deep northeast of Centennial Plaza and the other 25 feet wide and 100 feet deep on the southwest side of the plaza. Although adjacent properties are privately owned, developers have the option to explore acquisition as part of this venture.

BRADLEY N. PARRISH On Thursday, Jan. 25, a San Luis Obispo County Superior Court Judge sentenced 53-year-old Bradley Norman Parrish of San Luis Obispo to serve 25 years to life in state prison for his conviction of aggravated arson with four previous convictions for arson.

During a week-long trial, a jury of Parrish’s peers heard evidence that on June 13, 2022, Parrish intentionally set a fire in the creek area near the Elks Lodge in San Luis Obispo. Two residents at the Elks Lodge saw the smoke and responded, containing the out-of-control fire.

While trying to extinguish the fire, one of the men grabbed a shovel and was confronted by Parrish, who stated that if the man did not have the shovel, he would have fought him. San Luis Obispo Fire Department arrived on the scene and put out the rapidly spreading fire before it threatened any structures.

After the jury’s verdict, Parrish waived his right to a jury trial on his prior convictions. The trial court found that Parrish had been previously convicted of four separate arson offenses in 1994, 2005, 2018, and 2019. Three of the four prior convictions are considered “strike” offenses under California’s Three Strikes Sentencing Law. Because this was Parrish’s fourth “strike” offense, he received a sentence of 25 years to life.

Prior to sentencing, the judge denied a defense request to dismiss two of the prior strikes, which would have resulted in a sentence of less than 25 to life.

The case was investigated by the San Luis Obispo Police Department and the San Luis Obispo Fire Department and prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Amy Fitzpatrick, who is assigned to the District Attorney’s Office Domestic Violence Unit and also specializes in the prosecution of arson cases.

County residents to receive up to $10,000 for switching to cleaner burning devices The San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District (SLO County APCD) is incentivizing low-income SLO County residents to switch over to cleaner-burning devices rather than older, inefficient wood-burning fireplaces and stoves as a primary source of heat.

To reduce air emissions and the negative impact on people’s health from the particulate matter associated with wood-burning devices, the district is partnering with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Woodsmoke Reduction Program to award a total of $289,000 in vouchers. Eligible low-income applicants will be given priority until April 12.

Low-income applicants could receive enhanced incentives of up to $10,000 for switching from their old fireplaces or qualifying woodstoves to an electric heat-pump, or up to $5,000 for switching to a cleaner-burning wood stove or electric stove.

Beginning in April, SLO County APCD will begin accepting applications from all SLO County residents, regardless of income, for standard (lower) incentive levels.

Smoke from burning wood contains major air pollutants, including carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, fine particles, and volatile organic compounds such as benzene and formaldehyde.

These pollutants have the potential for serious adverse health effects, most commonly related to the respiratory system.

The vouchers will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, and CONTINUED ON PAGE A6

everly Hillman, age 95, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on December 13, 2023, in Paso Robles, California. She had complications from her dementia. She was born on January 4, 1928, in Wichita, Kansas. When she was three years old, her parents, Paul and Pharel Greenamyer, along with her older sister, Margorie, all moved to Pico Rivera in the Los Angeles area, where she spent her adolescent and high school years. Beverly loved to ride the Trolly car to Long Beach with her friends Mary Ann and Wanda and make a day of basking in the sun. She also enjoyed getting all dolled up with her girlfriends in her high heels and nice dress to go

to the Los Angeles Garment District and go shopping.

Beverly was invited to be in an honorary elite club called Al-Per-Le. Even though these girls went their own separate ways, they still got together and met on a regular basis throughout the years so they wouldn’t lose touch with each other.

Beverly graduated with high honors from John C Fremont High School in 1945, where she excelled in secretarial clerical classes. Her dedication and hard work paved the way for her to secure a position as a secretary at the Los Angeles VA immediately after graduation. It was during her time there that she met Lt. Clarence Dayton Hillman III, who would soon become her loving husband.

Clarence was captivated by Beverly’s big blue eyes and beautiful smile when he sought a loan at the VA. Determined to ask her out, he found her address and sought her father’s permission to take her on a date. They had only gone on three dates when Clarence (Couche) proposed. They only saw each other one more time before the wedding. Clarence

had inherited a large part of his family’s ranch legacy and was going back and forth from Los Angeles to Paso Robles throughout that year of their courtship. He was getting everything ready for their new life together. They were married on August 16, 1947, at the First Baptist Church in Huntington Park. Their love story continued to blossom. Together, they moved to Paso Robles in 1947, where they joined the First Baptist Church and became active members for over 75 years. Church was an important part of Beverly’s life, and she found solace and community within its walls.

Beverly and Clarence had three beautiful daughters. On July 15, 1950, her first born was Deborah Lynn Duncan, then three years later, on July 3, 1953, Nancy Lee Hillman was born. The third child, Kim Marie Hillman, was born on August 31, 1959, the year they built their family home up on Derby Lane. This is where they lived for the rest of their 75-year marriage.

Beyond her career as a rancher’s wife, a mother, and her faith, Beverly had a passion

for creativity and leisure. She found joy in refinishing furniture and transforming thrift stores and yard sale finds into beautiful, unique pieces. She enjoyed being the sole decorator of her own home and took pride in it. Her artistic talent also extended to painting, and her family cherishes the many pictures she painted adorning their walls. Additionally, Beverly was an avid member of a bridge club in Paso Robles, where she always looked forward to spending time with friends. Beverly and Clarence were also members of the Clipper Club and the Live Oaks Club, which they loved very much, and met many of their lifelong friends.

Beverly was a wonderful mother and wife. She always put her family first. She was always ready to help if her children needed anything and played a big part in all their lives. She was always there to give everyone a ride to and from school or an activity. Her friends meant the world to her as she meant the world to her friends. She enjoyed meeting them for lunch at Touch of Paso and other places on the

odd occasion. She was beautiful inside and out. Her smile lit up the room. She never judged anyone and accepted people for who they were. She saw the good in everyone and didn’t have a selfish bone in her body. She also loved to travel.

They went on many exotic trips all over the world, along with summer family vacations to places like Disney Land, Knots Berry Farm, and more of a family camping atmosphere, Camp Blue up in the Sequoias.

Beverly’s memory will forever be cherished by her daughters, Deborah Hillman-Duncan, Nancy Hillman, and Kim Hillman; her grandson, Christian White; her granddaughter, Nicole Duncan; her niece, Diane Feller; and her niece, Janet Christoffersen. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Clarence Dayton Hillman III; her father, Paul Greenamyer; her mother, Pharel Cooper-Greenamyer; her sister, Margorie Greenamyer-Christoffersen; her nephew, Robert Christoffersen; and her aunt, Zelma Cooper-McAvoy.

Rowena was born June 1, 1932, in San Jose, CA. She was the only child born to Jess & Kathleen Regli. The family moved to Salinas, where her dad was the Baseball Coach at Hartnell College, and her mother worked for Monterey County as an auditor.

It was at Hartnell College where she met the love of her life, Don. They married on July 20, 1952, at the Presbyterian Church in Salinas. Don

worked for P.G. & E. This is where the adventures began with starting their life, living in Soledad first, on to King City, Monterey, Solvang, Salinas, and Atascadero. Rowena became an Antique Dealer and refinisher of her findings. She would buy the dirtiest piece of furniture and turn it into a beautiful piece-she was meticulous.

She refinished furniture for many folks around Salinas and Atascadero. She even restored a piano. She was quite talented.

She was an excellent cook and seamstress; she designed two

wedding gowns.

Rowena was a Vaqueros women’s riding club member, 4-H Leader, Church member, Eastern Star, Rainbow Girls, and Pink Lady for Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital and Elks Camping Group, for which they traveled extensively through California and Arizona.

ichard was born on June 12, 1937, in Los Angeles, CA, to his parents, Joe and Bessie Orosel.

He was a long-time resident of Paso Robles.

Richard was a Bodybuilder and enjoyed life through hard work. He was a successful real estate developer and developed apartments in Los Angeles, industrial properties in Silicon Valley, and built indus-

trial properties at the Paso Robles Airport. He was very instrumental in getting Linne Road paved. Richard was also involved in some additional projects outside of California.

before her. Her father and mother, her husband of many years, Pedro M. Barraza, her son Pedro, her siblings, and many others.

She was born Juanita Chaidez but preferred to be called Jenny to her parents, Marcello and Cenovia Chaidez, who were born in Durango, Mexico. Juanita was very proud of her heritage and spoke Spanish fluently. Her parents came to the United States and settled in Paso Robles, where they raised their five boys and two girls. All five boys served in the military during World War II and were proud to be Americans.

Juanita loved her hometown of Paso Robles and lived most

of her life here. She was able to see the many changes and growth that occurred in her “little town of Paso.” Juanita and her husband, Pedro, raised four of their six children in Adelaide, west of Paso Robles. Those years on Marian Davis’ ranch were some of the best years of her life. She loved living in the country.

Juanita was not one to travel out of the country, but she did get to visit Costa Rica, Mexico, and Canada. She also visited Idaho, Washington state, and Hawaii. She lived in Hawaii with her family for about one year and returned back to her hometown of Paso.

“Nani,” as her grandchildren and great-grandchildren called her, loved to cook. She passed

that love of cooking on to her family. Many of the merchants and vendors of the town knew Juanita and Pedro Barraza because her husband was one of the leading charcoal producers of the 50s and 60s. Juanita would often send tacos, enchiladas, and salsas, foods that she had cooked in her kitchen, to their establishments.

Juanita was a very blessed woman. She loved her family, was a very hard worker, loved to walk for exercise, and a lot of times ended up at D.K. Doughnuts, where she socialized and talked to the people who would go there. Juanita and her husband loved to dance; both of them never forgot where they came from and were always ready to help

someone in need. Interestingly, Juanita had been exposed to COVID many times but never got it herself.

Juanita is survived by her five children, Linda Leppelman and Antonio Barraza of Paso Robles, Mary Jane Martinez of Santa Maria, Manuel Barraza of Bakersfield, and Andrea Carlsen of Las Vegas.

She had 19 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren.

Caltrans reminds everyone to drive safely during upcoming rainstorms Caltrans reminds everyone to drive safely during storm activity expected on the Central Coast this week. The public can do a few simple things during the next round of expected storm activity to keep the roads safe.

Reduce your speed in wet driving conditions, especially when Caltrans workers, law enforcement, or tow truck drivers are near the roadway.

Never drive through moving water if you are unable to see the ground. Your vehicle could be swept off the road.

Be aware of electronic message boards and other road signs alerting the public of changing road conditions, lane closures, or detours.

Make sure that your vehicle is in good working order. This includes the condition of your brakes, windshield wiper blades and tires.

Inspect your headlights and taillights to ensure that they are working properly so you have maximum visibility on the highway.

Call 911 if you see any hazards/ incidents on the highway.

CALIFORNIA CDFA announces grant funding for healthy soils program CDFA (the California Department of Food and Agriculture) is pleased to announce the availability of approximately $12 million in grant funding for Healthy Soils Program Incentive Grants. The objectives of the program are to increase statewide implementation of conservation management practices that improve soil health, sequester carbon, and reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases.

California farmers, ranchers, business entities, California Native American tribes, and nonprofit organizations can apply for awards. Applicants may request up to $100,000 per project. Priority will be given to applicants who are considered socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers.

The program is currently accepting grant applications and will continue to do so until 5 p.m., Friday, Feb. 9.

“The Healthy Soils Program was developed to partner with farmers and ranchers and facilitate their preferred methods to draw down carbon onto their lands and store it in our soils,” said CDFA Secretary

Karen Ross. “Building up soil’s organic matter and biodiversity promotes its lasting health and productivity while also reducing the possibility for erosion.

With tremendous thanks to our governor and the California Legislature for their ongoing support, the Healthy Soils Program has awarded more than $105 million to fund more than 1,500 projects over its lifetime, resulting in a combined greenhouse gas reduction of more than 1.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions over the projects’ lifespans. That’s like removing 24,000 gas-powered cars from the road for 10 years.”

CDFA will hold two online workshops to provide information about the application process. Participants register for the webinars using the links below. Each workshop will cover the same content, and for those unable to attend, a PowerPoint presentation along with other relevant materials will be posted on the Healthy Soils Program Incentive Grants webpage at cdfa.ca.gov/oefi/healthysoils/ IncentivesProgram.html.

The first workshop will take place Tuesday, Jan. 23, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. PST at us02web.zoom.us/webinar/ register/WN_qsjIpbedQm8B6UFqOrZgA. The second workshop will take place Wednesday, Jan. 24, from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. PST at us02web.zoom. us/webinar/register/WN_ VUI60B10SRy7tVte08td1A. Free technical assistance (TA) is available to applicants.

TA providers’ contact information, and other details, can be found at cdfa.ca.gov/oefi/technical/docs/2023_hsp_taps.pdf and ciwr.ucanr.edu/Programs/

ClimateSmartAg/TechnicalAssistanceProviders/.

Available TA providers include providers from the University of California Cooperative Extension Community Education Specialists (UCCS CESs), through their Climate Smart Agriculture Program.

“Through our strong relationships with diverse farming communities, our team supports the implementation of practices that build soil health, use water more efficiently, and provide an alternative for manure management,” said Amber Butland, a TA provider who works through the CES group. “We strive to provide the best assistance possible by offering translation services, grant application support, computer access, and one-on-one farm visits.”

The Healthy Soils Program stems from the California Healthy Soils Initiative, a collaboration of state agencies and departments that promotes the development of healthy soils on California’s farmlands and ranchlands.

Heather Newsom Atascadero

Heather Moreno on housing Dear Editor, Since 2015, our state legislature and Gov. Newsom have enacted scores of bills to boost housing construction while

removing local control from local governments. Yet, after eight years of such legislation, housing production has lagged while the costs of housing and housing affordability have both exploded.

The lack of success of these housing laws have placed great burdens on local government while making the American dream of homeownership a fleeting one. Our county and its cities need to collaborate with each other to increase housing production in ways that protect and complement the livability of our local communities.

more for you. I’m the candidate who is truly committed to building better futures for working families, not wealthy developers and special interests. Throughout my career, I have actively worked towards creating impactful countywide changes, such as expanded opportunities for affordable housing, which significantly benefited our local working families. I have more experience delivering countywide change than my opponent. My extensive experience has equipped me with the knowl-

edge and skills necessary to effectively advocate for and implement policies that directly benefit our community.

I do my homework. I don’t just pay lip service to accountability; I make it happen. I have a deep commitment to getting stuff done, to ensure that government serves the people and makes our lives and our community better. My dedication to serving the public interest sets me apart, as I am fully committed to ensuring transparency, accountability, and efficiency in all government operations. And I am not beholden to special interests and ideologues who secretly or overtly

want government to fail. Vote Funk for Functional Government!

Moreno: I bring people together.

As Mayor, our council has functioned well, and we have unanimous, bipartisan votes to show for it. I will continue this same attitude of professionalism and consensus-building on the Board of Supervisors. We face real challenges in San Luis Obispo County, and those challenges demand solutions from our leaders free from political divisiveness. I strongly believe in collaboration, teamwork, and advancing the best interests of our community.

Peschong: My experience: Over

the past two decades, my family and I have served our community to maintain San Luis Obispo County as a great place to raise a family, start a business, and make a living. While serving on the Board of Supervisors, I have had the opportunity to lead on some of the most important issues facing our county. We have balanced budgets, avoided tax hikes on hardworking families, and made county government responsive to your needs.

I am running for the Board of Supervisors to continue this tradition of fighting for the people of San Luis Obispo County.

the club’s formal application to Rotary International on Nov. 13, 1923. The official charter, Rotary Club of Paso Robles (#1602), was dated Jan. 15, 1924, and presented at a special banquet at the Paso Robles Hot Springs Hotel on March 15, 1924.

It wasn’t until the 1980s that women joined the club. The first two who joined in Paso Robles were Vicki Silva and Sally Davis.

“I joined in December of 1993 and Sally Davis and I were the first two women to join,” explained Silva who also served as Rotarian President from 2006-2007. “I was afraid of what the reaction might be, but they [the men] were nice. I think in a way they were happy to have us there.”

Davis joined the Rotary alongside Silva after her neighbor approached her, saying she would be a great addition to the club, which was working to integrate women into their fold.

“What’s wonderful about it is we aren’t the only two women in it anymore,” added Davis, who served as Rotarian President from 2009-2010.

Over its century of existence, the Rotary Club of Paso Robles has been a pillar of support for the community. In addition to numerous charitable endeavors, the club consistently champions the youth through grants, school projects, and scholarships, empowering them to pursue further education. With a commitment to both local and global service projects, the Rotary Club of Paso Robles has contributed to environmental cleanup initiatives, provided resources for

concrete slab, which the club poured before the delays, was the only part of the project that was completed before everything stalled out. When TTR reevaluated, they decided the site would be much better used for a larger pool.

“Summer of [20]22, we decided to formally change gears and pursue the pool and came up with the current design, which is the eight-lane lap pool,” added Fouquet.

In October 2022, TTR requested a permit for the pool, and it wasn’t until Jan. 12, 2024, that the permit got approved.

They’re currently in the beginning process of the build and have picked CareCraft Pools of San Luis Obispo as their contractor and are now dodging the weather to make sure that they don’t dig a hole for the pool that ends up filling up with rainwater.

Rotary Club of Paso Robles Bob Vilhauer joined in 2014, “When I retired, I wanted to give back to the community, so this is one of the key things that I do.”

The currently 72-member club is highly active in the community, but Vilhauer hopes to bring back some projects this year that the club lost touch with during the COVID years.

The club’s dedication to service is evident in its extensive list of accomplishments, from providing over $150,000 in scholarships per year to organizing fundraisers for youth programs and other projects worldwide.

“Weather permitting, they’re telling us four months of construction, which kind of points to the end of May, so we’d love to see it be swimming sometime in June — right at the beginning of the summer,” continued Fouquet.

The lap pool will currently only be available to TTR members, but use will be included with all membership levels, including their fitness membership, which is entry level. They also plan to be the home pool for the Templeton High School swim team and the North County arm of the Puma Aquatic Club swim team, which serves local youth between the ages of 6 and 18.

Local organizations that have benefited from the Rotary Club of Paso Robles’ generosity include Boy Scouts of America Troops 60 and 160, Assistance League of San Luis Obispo County, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Mid Central Coast, the Children’s Museum, Paso Robles Youth Arts, the Pioneer Museum, and many more. Through successful fundraising events like the Annual Rotary Golf Tournament and Annual Rotary Winemakers’ Cookoff, the club has raised over $1 million dedicated solely towards scholarships.

Silva and Davis were honored at the event on Saturday alongside John Davis (Sally Davis’s husband), Gary Eberle, and Paso

Robles Pioneer Day Marshal Don Campbell. The club also received acknowledgments from several elected officals, including Paso Robles City Mayor John Hamon, District 1 SLO County Supervisor John Peschong, SLO County Schools Superintendent Jim Brescia, Diane Zannotti for Representative Jimmy Panetta, and Andrea Chmelik for Assemblymember Dawn Addis.

Reflecting on her Rotary journey, Silva expresses no regrets. “It’s been all in all a wonderful experience,” she says. “I wouldn’t redo any of it, and it’s been good.”

Lunar New Year Celebration planned Congressman Panetta visits with local teens at the Teen Center at Centennial Park this February in San Luis Obispo Ah Louis Store to mark 150 years with cultural performances, cuisine, activities, and the city’s first-ever drone light show STAFF REPORT

Panetta talked with Youth Commissioners about their involvement in helping to make the Teen Center a reality STAFF REPORT

PASO ROBLES — The Teen Center at Centennial Park in Paso Robles (600 Nickerson Drive) was alive with activity on Thursday, Jan. 25, as local teens welcomed United States Representative Jimmy Panetta (CA-19) for a visit.

Congressman Panetta enjoyed a tour of the center and visited with teens while playing pool, shooting hoops, posing for several photos, purchasing some refreshments from the Teen Center snack bar, and even buying a friendship bracelet made by one of the teens.

During the visit, the congressman also met with several members of the Paso Robles Youth Commission, a youth-led organization that seeks to provide opportunities and representation for youth through collaboration with local government. Rep. Panetta talked with the Youth Commissioners about their involvement in helping to make the Teen Center a reality and their vision for the Center in the future.

“During my recent visit to the Teen Center at Centennial Park, I experienced an amazing amount of positive energy from the young men and women who were gathered there after school,” said Panetta. “It really is a safe place where young people of all ages can go outside of the classroom and home to learn, play, socialize, and expand their

horizons. Visiting this teen center in Paso Robles, seeing all that it has to offer to our students, and speaking with the young leaders of the Paso Robles Youth Commission made me confident that the Teen Center will play an integral role in our continued progress as a community and optimistic for the future of our 19th Congressional District.”

Members of the Youth Commission were excited to share the Teen Center with the congressman during his visit.

“Congressman Panetta took the time to speak with everyone,” said Youth Commission Chairperson Praise Namuleme. “When we met, he commented on the feeling of joy, liveliness, and sense of community at the Teen Center. His visit was an inspiring reminder to always serve others regardless of how busy one may be.”

The Teen Center at Centennial Park opened in August 2023 as a free, safe gathering place for local teens to enjoy Monday through Thursday from after school until 5 p.m. Located between the Lewis Middle School and Paso Robles High School campuses, the center is open to students in grades 6 through 12, with activities specifically tailored to those ages 12 to 15.

The Teen Center was made possible through generous support from the Paso Robles REC Foundation, Justin Vineyards & Winery LLC and Townsend Public Affairs.

SAN LUIS OBISPO — One of the last remaining original buildings in San Luis Obispo’s historic Chinatown, the Ah Louis Store, is celebrating its 150-year anniversary in 2024, the Year of the Dragon. To honor this anniversary along with San Luis Obispo’s Chinese heritage, the Ah Louis Store has partnered with the City of SLO to bring the community a free Lunar New Year Palm Street Block Party on Saturday, Feb. 10.

“As the occupants of this historic building that was once the center of a bustling Chinatown, we are honored to bring this commemorative event to our community,” said Amber Karson, co-owner of Karson Butler Events and current Ah Louis Store retailer. “I am so grateful for the city’s partnership and the opportunity to honor On Wong (Ah Louis) and his family’s legacy of celebration on Palm Street. ” The Block Party will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10, and will include family-friendly activities, educational and inspirational demonstrations, fare from multiple Asian food vendors, and a performance by the Cal Poly Lion Dance Team. Arguably the most exciting and novel component of the celebration will come at the end of the Block Party with a drone light show at 6:30 p.m. — marking the city’s first-ever of its kind. A large component of Lunar New Year’s celebrations included fireworks, and this custom aerial performance is another nod to tradition.

“We are thrilled to be supporting the Lunar New Year celebrations,” said Molly Cano, economic development and tourism manager for the City of SLO. “At one time San Luis Obispo had the largest Chinese community in California. They were integral in building our city, and it has been incredible to see how organizations and businesses across the community have come together to help honor our past and celebrate

Chinese culture in SLO.” A partial street closure will occur on Palm Street in front of the Ah Louis Store for the duration of the event, with the parking garage entrance and exit remaining accessible. Other businesses in historic Chinatown, including Mee Heng Low, the Palm Theatre, and Hotel San Luis Obispo, will be activating for the Block Party. Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to join the daylong festivities and explore the rest of downtown, where numerous businesses will also be celebrating the Lunar New Year.

Passive activations will remain throughout the month of February, including lanterns and lighting along Palm Street and an homage to a Paifang or a decorative Chinese archway adjacent to the Ah Louis Store. In addition, the city has been working to restore the original sign from Chong’s Candy Store, a Chinatown business that has been crafting handmade candy for decades. Installation began in late January on the Palm parking structure and, once finished, will include interpretive panels that share the history of the original building and Chinese contribution to San Luis Obispo.

BY OR PROVIDED TO THIS FIRM OR THE CREDITOR WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 758-8052 or visit this Internet Web site www.Xome.com, using the file number assigned to this case 22-27586. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (800) 758-8052, or visit this internet website www.Xome.com, using the file number assigned to this case 22-27586 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the administer will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 02/06/24 at 9:01 AM in Dept 4 via Zoom.

Meeing ID : 160 407 5307 Password: 79513 You may access the Zoom information from the court website at https:www.slo.courts.ca.gov IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor fo the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the administer (s) appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general administer, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-730-2727 or visit this internet website www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 23-20191-SP-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT*: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code.

If you are a “representative of all eligible tenant buyers” you may be able to purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

f you’re marking your new 2024 calendar, you will want to add the following two events. The Atascadero Community Band invites you to step into a world where melodies come alive and memories are painted through sound at their free concert “From Paintbrush to Pixels — the Music of Animation.” Experience the magic of timeless melodies, from classic hand-drawn animations to modern-day video games.

The concert will be presented at the Atascadero Bible Church, 6225 Atascadero Avenue, Atascadero, on Sunday, March 3, at 3 p.m.

ACB President Joyce Rabellino reminds us that, as always, “admission, refreshment, and parking are free! All donations will benefit the Paso Robles Youth Arts Center, which provides a positive and creative outlet for kids to deal with modern pressures.”

Joyce also added that “whether you’re a fan of classic Disney tunes, vintage cartoons,

Directions: In an electric mixer, cream together butter and grated cheese until well blended.

Meanwhile, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cayenne onto a sheet of wax paper. Lower the mixer speed and add the flour mixture to the butter-cheese mixture, beating just until blended. Do not over-mix. Add chopped nuts. If the mixture is too dry to come together, add cold water or beer, a little at a time, just until it coheres. Shape mixture into 3 or four rolls about 1 1/2 inches thick, wrapping each one in wax paper and smoothing the rolls neatly. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour. (Dough can be frozen for later use.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Slice dough about 1/4 inch thick and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until it starts to set and the edges are pale gold, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool crackers on baking sheets for about 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack and cool completely while baking the remaining crackers. Serve within two to three days; store in an airtight container.

Ma Nature

I

’ve been thinking of turning my mother in for child abuse ... Mother Nature that is.

Last week she whipped me with 80-mile-an-hour winds.

I think I know why she beat me mercilessly. I merely suggested that she was beginning to show her age. Boy did she howl. She leveled two barns. When I mentioned that she took better care of herself and that wrinkles and cracks were beginning to show, I guess I must have hurt her feelings. She began to cry. Four inches in three hours.

I must admit that I was a typical child. I never thanked Mother Nature for all the nice things she did. It was always, “Can I have this? Can I have that?” It was one endless

game of “Mother, may I?” I never called or wrote, and I never listened to her warnings. But did I really deserve all this? It hadn’t rained for two years and then we got 5 inches in one day! And technically, we live in a desert!

As if she hadn’t done enough to me, Mother Nature sent one of her kids for a visit. Mother Nature gave birth to two illegitimate children; one was Human Nature, and the other one wasn’t worth a darn either.

After beating me severely, Mother Nature sent Human Nature to visit me.

One of nature’s most disagreeable blunders was standing out in the rain force-feeding a loaf of whole wheat bread to my horse, Gentleman. Nearby was a station wagon filled with three squalling kids. The lady’s name was Hazel and she was a real nut. A Hazel Nut. She is proof of reincarnation because nobody could get that dumb in just one lifetime.

It seems that Hazel had developed a relationship with my horse. As we stood there in the rain discussing what was was none of her business, Hazel had a bad accident... a thought struck her. “Why don’t you build a shelter for your horse so he can get in out of the rain?”

I tried to explain that there were several trees that he could stand under if he so desired.

“Well, if you don’t build him a shelter I will be forced to write a letter to the editor of the newspaper and call the Humane Society and the Dumb Friends League.”

I already had Mother Nature and Human Nature on my case and I didn’t need the nasty nature of the local editor. Besides, I got to thinking that maybe Gentleman did need more than a tree over his head. So in the torrential rains I quickly threw together a lean-to that I thought would satisfy Hazel.

This week’s recipes continue the party-time theme for the Super Bowl. The crackers are very rich with pecans and sharp cheese flavor, with a nice bite of cayenne. Watch out, they may be addictive with a glass of wine or a mug of beer!

Pecan Cheese Crackers Ingredients: • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature • 1 pound extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated • 3 cups flour • 1 teaspoon baking powder • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper • 2 cups finely chopped pecans • 2 teaspoons cold water or beer, if needed (you can drink the rest of the beer!)

he phrase ‘grand rising’ is used by some people when they wake up in the morning or the first time they see someone during the day.

It is used instead of the words “good morning.”There is nothing “wrong” with saying good morning, but declaring a grand rising is a powerful way to begin your day and greet others.

Beginning with the word “grand” indicates something bigger than waking up in the morning is happening. Rising is about the soul rising up and into the world for this glorious day!

When sleeping, our physical bodies and conscious mind are in a state of rest. It is believed that our subconscious and unconscious minds are traveling, along with the soul, to other realms.

If you accept this as truth in your understanding of sleep, saying “grand rising” is giving thanks for your return to your body after being away for so long doing the excellent work of emotional, physical, and spiritual healing of body, mind, and soul.

Grand rising is a celebration of the act of the body, mind, and spirit holistically rising.

Our 2024 Awakening Ways Center for Spiritual Living theme is “A Grand Rising.” We ended the month of January with the topic of feeling good. It feels good to greet the day and the rest of the year with a grand rising.

Who you are makes a difference.

Your consciousness matters. Your

way of being wherever you find yourself affects you, those around you and those around them, and so forth.

We can no longer afford to pretend like we are isolated beings. There is one thing happening here, and it is the Divine. The Divine is all. It goes before me, behind me, beside me, all around me, and it is within me. Its favor shines upon me, in my coming and going, in my weeping and rejoicing. It is with me always. It is with you always.

It is with you. It is for you.

We are on the precipice of a significant global shift, energetically, spiritually, and cosmically speaking. All aboard the train of holistically rising into our radiant, spiritual magnificence! Your time is now. The wait is over.

Isn’t it comforting to know that the Universe is always conspiring for your highest and greatest

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt • 2 cups raw unsalted cashews • 1/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees with rack in center. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

In medium bowl, whisk egg white and salt with 1 tablespoon water until just frothy.

Add cashews and toss to coat.

Transfer nuts to a colander and allow to drain over the sink until just wet but not goopy, 10 to 15 minutes. Whisk together brown sugar, rosemary, and red pepper flakes until thoroughly combined. When cashews have drained, toss them with brown sugar mixture to coat and arrange them in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until evenly browned and bubbly, about 35 minutes. Allow nuts to cool to room temperature. Break apart with your hands before serving. Makes 2 cups.

Go team! Cheers!

Gentleman’s stable the very next morning. She was like the bad cold I’d caught the day before in that I couldn’t get rid of her. The wind in the night put the lean-to in an unstable condition ... just like Hazel. “You can’t fool Mother Nature,” said Hazel.

“If this horse doesn’t get a proper shelter I’m turning you in.”

Hazel was so nasty she just had to be somebody’s Mother-In-Law and boy oh boy, did I feel sorry for him!

I bought $225 worth of wood and a $1 sympathy card for Hazel’s husband. I spent an entire day in the wind and the rain and built Gentleman a real house. Hazel finally gave her seal of approval, but Gentleman did not. To this day he has not set foot in his shelter. Meanwhile, Hazel wants to know if my cows have a place to get in out of the rain.

good? Even when you think it is not! You came across this article at the right and perfect time.

Now is the best moment for your shift in perspective to reveal a personal grand rising in your life.

I invite you to practice speaking these words aloud daily with conviction for the next week: “Rise up, my soul. Quicken me with heavenly fervor. Speak words that make people glad, happy, loved, and connected.

Show me the finished kingdom through which I walk. I have the power and strength of Spirit within me; it is mine to use, so I use it. Now is the time for my grand rising.”

Grand rising.

And so it is.

“This season has had a lot of success with the tournaments we have been participating in. A lot of the athletes have been placing, earning medals and getting a lot of matches in. Our overall dual record is 14- 2, only losing to Camarillo High School and Ayala High School,” said Coach Nate Ybarra.

“It feels good to bring back the league title to Paso Robles.

We look to ensure the league title for the next couple of years given that the majority of the group are 10th-graders. With the work ethic and dedication this group has, I look forward to the future,” he adds.

Next week, the team will travel to North Bakersfield to compete at the Division I CIF tournament, where the best in the state compete: #2 Buchanan, #5 Clovis, #6 Bakersfield, #15 Clovis West, #16 Central Fresno, #19 Clovis North, #19 Frontier.
