County moving forward with new gas station and market in Templeton Mixed views from residents on whether or not to support the new project

By CAMILLE DEVAUL camille@pasoroblespress.com

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — Templeton is one step closer to being the home of a new gas station and convenience store on Las Tablas Road following the Tuesday, Jan. 23, San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors meeting.

During the meeting, supervisors approved with a 3-2 vote — Jimmy Paulding (Dist. 4) and Bruce Gibson (Dist. 2) dissenting — to deny the appeal of Joe Jarboe and uphold the Planning Commission’s decision to approve the project’s Minor Use Permit.

The project inc ludes construction of a fueling station including eight fuel dispensers and nine electric vehicle charging spaces and a 5,200 square-foot convenience store on what is known as East Bennet Village Parcel 1. Located between Bennet Way and Duncan Road on Las Tables, the station is in close proximity to the Twin Cities Hospital.

The project has gone through several revisions since its 2021 introduction. What started with a quick service restaurant, fuel station, car wash, and convenience store, now will have a fuel and charging station and market.

Residents of Templeton have taken a long stand against the project. Jarboe, the appellant of the project, made the argument that the proposed project is close to other gas stations already in the area as there is a Chevron station on Las Tablas on the other side of Highway 101.

“This appeal is heavily supported by the community,” Jarboe said at the meeting on Tuesday. “This is a monstrosity that has no business being this close to residences.”

A representative for the Filipponi Family Trust — the applicant for the project, responded to the appellant’s argument, saying the project is expected to bring in a surplus of tax funds.

Templeton residents spoke both for and against the projCONTINUED ON PAGE A7

Downtown pulse rate:

How is business going for local merchants?

Some businesses see steady flow of customers while others feel effects of paid parking

Georgia Brown campus to close for next school year

By CAMILLE DEVAUL camille@pasoroblespress.com

PASO ROBLES — Following the rush of the holiday season, January has historically been a slow month for retail businesses. Paso Robles Press spoke with some downtown merchants to get a pulse rate of how they are faring during this time of year.

Dan Pankratz, buyer and merchandiser for Alliance Board Company on Park Street, said despite the late snow season, the surf and skate shop had a good holiday season. “We had a pretty solid holiday season aside from the snow business being a little slower because of the weather,” he said.

Adding that business felt comparable to previous years for December, the trend seems to be continuing in January.

“Speaking highly of Mike, the owner, he is running a great business here, and he puts a huge effort into making sure the inventory levels are proper for the sales,” Pankratz said.

Not only is keeping inventory flow important for the business, but Pankratz said the customer service offered at the shop and listening to customer needs is what prepares them

for slower days down the road and also keeps a steady flow of loyal customers.

“The local business is very supportive of us, and we try to support them as much as

possible,” said Pankratz. “Our customers seem to be here, and they are loyal to us yearround.”

Kristin Smart’s family files lawsuit against Cal Poly Complaint claims negligence during first days of disappearance

By CAMILLE DEVAUL camille@pasoroblespress.com

SAN LUIS OBISPO — Nearly 28 years since the disappearance of 19-year-old Cal Poly student Kristin Smart, her family is filing a lawsuit against the university.

Kristin went missing on Memorial Day weekend in May of 1996 after attending an off-campus party. She was last seen walking back to her dorm with Paul Flores. Since her disappearance, Flores has been the center of police investigations, and in 2021, he was arrested for the murder and disappearance of Kristin alongside his father, who was accused of helping his son hide her body.

In October 2022, Flores was found guilty of Kristin’s murder, while his father, Ruben, was found not guilty of helping his son. Flores was sentenced to serve 25 years to life in prison in March 2023. To this day,

the whereabouts of Kristin’s remains are unknown.

The lawsuit filed by Kristin’s parents and siblings on Thursday, Jan. 18, claims that California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) is partially responsible for her murder on the

grounds of negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and wrongful death.

The complaint document opens with the Smarts saying the university “did not begin to understand the multitude of failings by Cal Poly until May 2023.”

In May of last year, Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong publicly apologized to the family for the first time on record, saying, “We recognize that things should have been done differently — and I personally wish that they had.”

The complaint continues to describe how Cal Poly allegedly breached its legal duty when it did “not pursue a missing person case promptly, did not interview witnesses timely, did not seal the primary suspect’s dorm room as a crime scene, allowed the suspect’s room to be sanitized and cleaned before it was searched, and did not search the suspect’s room until 16 days after Kristin disappeared.”

The document also claims that before Flores killed their daughter, multiple reports had been made about Flores’s “threatening, stalking, and harassing behavior.”

PASO ROBLES — Until further notice, students will not be returning to the Georgia Brown Elementary School campus on 36th Street for the 2024-25 school year. During the Tuesday, Jan. 23, Paso Robles Joint Unified School District (PRJUSD) board meeting, trustees voted 6-1, Sondra Williams dissenting, to close the campus following the current academic year and move the dual immersion program to one of the district’s middle school campuses.

After receiving a final recommendation from the District Advisory Committee (DAC) and a long discussion, trustees made the decision that they will reconfigure all elementary schools to be kindergarten through sixth grade starting in the 2024-25 school year. Staff was directed to come back to the board in two weeks with a recommendation for which middle school campus (Daniel Lewis or Flamson) the dual immersion program will move to, and no decision will be made on the temporary campus until further and final decisions are made for the future of the Georgia Brown campus.

In May 2023, a geohazard study result revealed a potential danger lurking beneath the Georgia Brown campus. From the results of the study, it was confirmed that an “anomalous feature” exists directly under the current campus.

This prompted a pause to any construction on the site due to complications with receiving approvals from the Department of the State Architect (DSA). Since then, the district has been in limbo, trying to find the best option to move forward. The DAC was constructed to help trustees develop a plan for the Georgia Brown campus, which has CONTINUED ON PAGE A7

Paso Robles introduces interactive street maintenance map

The map gives residents a play-by-play on current road projects STAFF REPORT

PASO ROBLES — Paso Robles has released a new interactive Street Maintenance Map for residents. Residents can now easily check a street’s pavement condition index (PCI) rating, last maintenance date, or upcoming maintenance information, if available.

Developed through the collaborative efforts of Public Works and GIS (Geographic Information System) staff, the Street Maintenance Map is designed to provide meaningful information to residents and streamline future street maintenance planning.

Each street in the city has been entered into the mapping system with the street’s PCI rating and any applicable maintenance records. By clicking on a street segment, residents can find

available street maintenance records.

PCI is a way to measure and rate the condition of a road or pavement on a scale from 0-100. During street surveys, a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is calculated for each street segment. Ranging between 0 and 100, a PCI of 100 would correspond to a pavement at the beginning of its life cycle. A PCI of 0 would correspond to a badly deteriorated pavement with virtually no remaining life.

Residents are encouraged to explore the new interactive Street Maintenance Map by visiting ow.ly/GPHq50PZSe2.

The City’s current Street Maintenance Plan and zone map, along with other helpful information, can be found at prcity.com/Streets.

Questions can be asked via the MyPaso app or prcity.com/1053/ MyPaso-Request-Tracker. Residents can also call the Public Works Department at (805) 237-3861.

Healthy reservoir levels offset scant snowpack depths

At this time last year, the state’s snowpack measured 117 percent of average

that statewide reservoir storage is about 115 percent of average.

“As far as water supply this year, it is way too early to know what our allocation is going to be, but the positive thing is our water comes from Shasta Reservoir, and the reservoir level is above normal,” said Vereschagin, who serves as board president of the Orland-Artois Water District, which received 100 percent of its contracted water supplies last year. “Compared to two years ago (during the drought), it is a much better situation. As long as they conserve the supply and don’t just release it out of the dam, there should be enough water for a decent allocation.”

A north-of-delta water contractor of the federal Central Valley Project, Orland-Artois Water District receives 53,000 acre-feet of water annually and serves about 29,000 acres.

As of Monday, Shasta Reservoir — the largest CVP reservoir — was at 69 percent of its 4.5 million-acre-foot capacity, or 115 percent of average, according to DWR. Most other reservoirs remain at above-average levels. Lake Oroville, the principal reservoir for the State Water Project, was at 69 percent of its 3.5 million-acre-foot capacity, or 128 percent of average. San Luis Reservoir, a south-of-delta reservoir shared by the CVP

and SWP, stood at 57 percent of its 2 millionacre-foot capacity — 88 percent of average.

Fresno County farmer Justin Diener of Red Rock Ranch in Five Points, which grows grain, garlic, tomatoes, cotton and almonds, said the water outlook is positive.

“This year, things look a lot better just on a relative basis because of the amount of water that is in storage in the reservoirs,” said Diener, who is on the board of directors for Westlands Water District, a CVP water contractor. “It’s not raining as much as it did last year, but our reservoir storage is in a much better position.”

The CVP portion of available water stored in San Luis Reservoir, a joint state-federal reservoir, he said, is about 80 percent.

“For us on the west side, when there’s a strong, wet year, the following year we usually have a good water year, plus a moderate or average 40 percent to 60 percent allocation,” Diener said. “We’re in a good a position.”

With water in San Luis Reservoir, Diener said he was able to prepare for the growing season.

“We have kept the same crop setup, where we’re growing quite a bit of grain and garlic because we will have water to some degree,” he said. “We don’t (yet) know how much water we’ll have into May and June, but it won’t

require as much to finish those crops.”

Even with a 100 percent water allocation last year, Westlands Water District farmers fallowed 198,700 acres, or about 35 percent of total acreage, according to the district’s 2023 crop report. The fallowed acres, Diener said, is likely due to timing of the allocation announcement. Since precipitation came late last year, many farmers did not have the opportunity to line up as many crop contracts by the time the full allocation was announced in late April.

“In our area, a lot of the preparatory work and obtaining of contracts to grow crops takes place in the fall,” he said.

Looking ahead, state water officials announced last week that extreme weather events highlight the need for Californians to prepare for flood risk. DWR noted it is working with emergency response partners and reservoir operators to prepare flood infrastructure.

As part of this effort, farmers hope to take advantage of flood flows for groundwater recharge, such as in 2023, to replenish aquifers, which are required to reach sustainability by the 2040s under the state’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. Vereschagin said last spring and summer, growers in his district took advantage of available floodwater for groundwater projects.

“Our records show that we have made a difference,” Vereschagin said. “We did the recharge, and hopefully we can continue in the future because we have a long way to go to get back to historical levels.”

Similarly, Westlands Water District “implemented several programs to encourage growers to recharge groundwater, both for the benefit of the collective district and of individual growers,” Diener said. The district recharged more than 200,000 acre-feet since last March, he added.

“Hopefully, we’ll get 275,000 acre-feet to 300,000 acre-feet (of recharge). If we do that, going forward on our SGMA plan, we’ll have multiple years of sustainability in terms of averaging out the years we pump a lot and years we don’t pump or pump a moderate amount,” Diener said. “This is a real tool that we’ve been successful in using to move our groundwater basin more quickly towards sustainability.”

The next DWR survey at Philips Station is scheduled for Feb. 4.

reduce gun violence, and invest in smart crime-fighting strategies that deliver real results,” said California Governor Gavin Newsom.

“Freeway shootings are serious crimes, and the CHP actively investigates every incident of highway violence,” said CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee. “This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety of our highways throughout California and fostering an environment where motorists can travel without fear.”

The State established CHP’s Highway Violence Task Force to address the rise of violent crimes occurring on state highways, which surged nationally during the pandemic.

At their peak in California in 2021, 447 shootings resulted in 16 deaths and 88 injuries.

Today’s new data show a 38 percent reduction in shootings and a 75 percent reduction

in deaths compared to those pandemic highs.

In addition to the reduction in the number of freeway shootings statewide, the new data indicates the number of victims killed and injured in highway violence incidents also decreased. In 2023, four individuals were killed in freeway shootings — a 60 percent reduction from the prior year. Additionally, there was an 8 percent reduction in the number of people injured — from 74 to 68 last year. Reflecting CHP’s increased efforts to investigate and address freeway violence, the number of arrests by the CHP in freeway shootings increased nearly 9 percent from 2022.

The State is working towards improving public safety in California with its Real Public

Safety Plan — which focuses on strengthening law enforcement response, ensuring perpetrators are held accountable, and getting guns and drugs off our streets. Building on these efforts earlier this month, the Governor called for the creation of new laws to crack down on professional thieves targeting retail businesses and cars. In 2023, he announced the largest-ever investment to combat organized retail crime in California history, an annual 310 percent increase in proactive operations targeting organized retail crime, and special operations across the state to fight crime and improve public safety. California leads the nation in public safety investments — investing $1.1 billion over four years to fight crime and improve public safety.

CALIFORNIA — Unlike early 2023, when nonstop atmospheric river storms built a deep Sierra Nevada snowpack, replenished depleted reservoirs and flooded parts of California, snowfall and rain is sharply diminished so far this year. But state water officials say there is plenty of winter left to accumulate more snow and precipitation.

California Department of Water Resources State Climatologist Michael Anderson said accumulation of snowpack has just begun, pointing out that half the state’s annual precipitation typically occurs during December, January and February.

“This period of really wet/really dry was definitely on display last year, but what we’re seeing this year is not quite the strength of either wet or dry, so everything is a little bit subdued,” Anderson said.

In the days since DWR’s first Sierra Nevada snow survey of 2024 last week, storms added more snow, increasing the early January statewide snowpack figure of 25 percent of average to 36 percent of average as of Monday. At this time last year, the state’s snowpack measured 117 percent of average, which is more than half of the average yearly total.

“It’s really still too early to determine what kind of year we’ll have in terms of wet or dry,” said DWR Snow Surveys Manager Sean de Guzman. “There can be so many things that happen with our storm systems between now and April, when we should see our peak snowpack.”

Recorded on April 1, the state’s peak snowpack data is used in modeling by DWR to determine the amount of runoff the state can anticipate when snow melts in the spring and summer. The snowpack supplies about 30 percent of the state’s water needs. “What we’re interested in is how much water is in the snowpack,” de Guzman said.

Glenn County farmer Mike Vereschagin, who farms almonds and prunes in Orland, said he remains optimistic about the coming water year, especially with reservoirs at or above their historical capacity due to snow and water accumulated in 2023.DWR reported

DUI driver causes fatal crash near Templeton on Sunday Edna Marquez Galindo, 32, from Fresno died as a result of the solo vehicle crash STAFF REPORT

TEMPLETON — People involved in a fatal DUI crash have been identified. On Sunday night, Jan. 21, a deadly crash occurred near Templeton resulting in a deadly crash that claimed the life of Edna Marquez Galindo, 32, from Fresno.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded to the solo-vehicle accident, which occurred around 10:42 p.m. in the southbound lanes of Highway 101, just south of the Del Rio Road over-crossing between Templeton and Atascadero.

The driver, identified as Oscar De La Mora Marin, 37, of Reedley, was allegedly operating his vehicle at an alarming speed of 90 to

100 mph while under the influence of alcohol, according to CHP reports. The tragic sequence of events unfolded when De La Mora Marin allowed his vehicle to swerve into the center divider. In an attempt to regain control, he over-corrected, causing the vehicle to spin uncontrollably across both southbound lanes.

The situation escalated further as the vehicle veered off the freeway, ultimately rolling over and coming to rest on its left side on Ramona Road. During the violent rollover, Edna Marquez Galindo was ejected from the vehicle, sustaining major injuries. Emergency responders rushed Galindo to Sierra Vista Medical Center, where she tragically succumbed to her injuries.

CHP’s investigation led to the arrest of De La Mora Marin on felony DUI charges. He has been booked into the San Luis Obispo County Jail.

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY San Luis Obispo Children’s Museum maps an exciting 2024 The San Luis Obispo Children’s Museum is kicking off 2024 with new board members and plans for additional exhibits and expanded programs.

The Museum’s Exhibits Committee just saw the Amazing Airmaze exhibit completed, thanks to funding from the Harold J. Miossi Charitable Trust. The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County sponsored the revitalized Augmented Reality Sandbox. The Hind, Sence, and Schlinger Family Foundations funded The Adventure Playscape in the Museum’s backyard.

Exhibits currently in the planning stages include a laser exhibit, a LEGO App table, and a spinning sand table. Updates to the Mock Elevator and Fire Station are also in the works.

Special programs, which saw a significant increase in attendance in 2023, will continue throughout this year. These include Museums 4 All (discounted admission for EBT cardholders), the City Play Program (for unhoused children and their families), Sensory Nights (free time for kids on the spectrum), and Moonlight Hours (free play once a month from 5 to 7 p.m.). A unique new visitation program, with the goal to support local schools with the K-3 grade age group, will also be rolled out in this fall.

Dozens of dedicated locals have served the

Children’s Museum as board members over the years, steering it steadily through recessions, capital campaigns, growth, and a pandemic. Most recently, the Board of Directors added five new members to its ranks and elected an executive team. Michael Morris, Candice Custodio, Madeline Kacsinta, Elizabeth Howard, and Cody Dawson have been elected for three-year terms.

Officers include Tyler Skinner (president), Allison Patrick (vice president), Michael Moresco (treasurer), and Sue Roberts (secretary). Returning directors include Annie Braff, Nikki Billinsley, Stephen Gonzales, Anthony Gomes, and Claire Wexler.

The San Luis Obispo Children’s Museum inspires learning through play for children ages 2-10 and their families. It is located at 1010 Nipomo St. in downtown San Luis Obispo. Visit slocm.org for visitor and program information.

“For years this predator leveraged a position of trust to manipulate and sexually assault these young survivors,” said Deputy District Attorney Kimberly Dittrich. “I am in awe of the strength and courage shown by the two young victims in reporting these crimes which was necessary to hold this defendant accountable.”

The child sexual assault case was investigated by the Atascadero Police Department and San Luis Obispo Police Department. The residential burglary case was investigated by the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s Office. Both matters were prosecuted by Dittrich of the District Attorney’s Sexual Assault Prosecution Team.

needed during an emergency. Following inspection, each siren undergoes a brief growl test. This short low-volume test lasts for a period of a few seconds. Although the public in close vicinity to the siren may hear a brief siren sound, no action is required on the part of te public. Should a siren continue to sound, you should tune to a local radio or television station for emergency information.

During an emergency, sirens are sounded for a full three minutes.

Annual siren maintenance is conducted Monday through Friday 0600-1630 hrs and will continue through July. In the coming weeks, crews will be working on sirens in San Luis Obispo and the north coast, including Los Osos, Morro Bay and Cayucos areas.

The sounding of the Early Warning System sirens is an indication that the Emergency Alert System has been activated and the public should tune to a local radio or television station for emergency information and instructions. Although the Early Warning System sirens were installed and are maintained as one of the requirements related to the operation of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, the sirens can be used for any local emergency where there is a need for the public to take action.

Elections write-in period runs through Feb. 20 Jan. 8 kicked off the write-in period for the March 5 Presidential Primary Election.

Through Feb. 20, prospective candidates may file a Statement of Write-In Candidacy with the Clerk-Recorder.

To be declared an official write-in candidate, a prospective candidate needs to file their statement and also circulate nomination papers for signatures within the jurisdiction of the office they seek. The number of signatures required is between 40 and 100, depending on the office.

Per California Elections Code, write-in candidates can only run in the primary election. In order to be nominated to appear on the general election ballot, the write-in candidate must receive the highest number of votes cast for the office or the second-highest number of votes cast for the office at the primary election, unless there is a tie.

Anyone who seeks nomination as a write-in candidate will not see their name printed on any ballot, and the Voter Information Guide will not contain a candidate statement for them.

Because primary ballots contain at least one line for a write-in candidate in every contest, voters sometimes think that they can write the name of anyone they’d like to see serve in that office. In truth, if the name hasn’t been qualified as an official write-in candidate, it will not count as an official vote.

Anyone interested in running for office as a write-in candidate should contact the Elections Office at (805) 781-5228 or elections@ co.slo.ca.us.

JOHN H. HOLT 1957-2024

W

ith heavy hearts, we announce the passing of John Harlow Holt on January 6, 2024, at the age of 66. John died unexpectedly after a brief illness at his home in Paso Robles, California. John’s greatest achievement and source of pride was being a father to his sons, MSgt John “Harley” Holt

SISTER PAULINA VILLA 1933 – 2024

S

ister Paulina Villa died peacefully on January 14, 2024, at the age of 90. She was born in Santa Margarita, California, on June 30, 1933, to Amelia

CAROLYN J. ROACH-HENDERSHOT 1943 – 2023

USAF, 30, of Paso Robles, and Cameron Leslie Holt, 28, currently of Colorado, and his greatest delight was spending time with his four grandchildren.

Born on August 30, 1957, in Watsonville, California, John was the fourth child and first son of Miriam Hollaway and John Holt Sr. PFC Army, 101st Airborne. During John’s early years, the family relocated with John Sr. many times; they attended schools in Japan, Kansas, Germany, and Michigan. After graduation, John relocated to the Central Coast, and he never left.

John was a proverbial Renaissance Man, and his biggest passion in life was his music. He was a lifelong singer, songwriter, producer, and musi-

cian. He owned two recording studios in Paso Robles and was a member of several local bands, including CT and the Detroit Power, Fast Micky, The Mary Macgregor Band, and many others throughout the years. John was a versatile musician who was most well-known for his extraordinary skill as a guitarist, where his burning creativity and thoughtfulness left a lasting impression on anyone who had the privilege to work with him. He started his musical journey alongside his late brother, Robert Holt, who would often play bass guitar alongside him in their younger days. He continued to write and record music up until his passing, regularly updating his friends and family with the various projects he was working

on. His most treasured possession was his extensive guitar collection, having built many of the instruments himself.

John was a Licensed California Mechanical Contractor in the 1980s, specializing in sheet metal fabrication, masonry, tile setting, and general construction. From the 1990s through 2010, he was an IT Contractor specializing in installing and repairing point-of-sale systems for businesses throughout California.

John was preceded in death by his parents, Miriam and John Holt Sr., his brother Robert Holt, and his sister Lynda Grizzle and is survived

by His son John (Stefanie) Holt, son Cameron Holt, and grandchildren, Malia, John “Levi,” Wyatt, and Hanson

Holt. He also leaves behind his sisters, Barbara Holt and JoAnn Holt, both of Michigan, his former wife and mother of his children, Lynda Plescia, and his loving partner, Nancy Mason, along with numerous relatives and a host of longtime friends.

A celebration of life is being planned for February 3, 2024, at 1:00 pm at Paso Robles Christian Life Center, 1744 Oak Street, Paso Robles. Reception following. The family would be very grateful if you have photos or memories of John that you would like to share via this tribute website, www.

EFSCares.com. The family wishes to thank Eddington Funeral Services for providing wonderful care and service at this difficult time.

Garcia and Lazaro Villa. She had seven brothers and sisters.

Claudine Rosa, Rita East, Lupe, Lazaro (Leslie), Toby, and Louie Villa, who have preceded her in death. Christine Evans remains her only living sister.

She entered the Sisters of the Holy Family from Holy Angels Parish on July 2, 1952, at the age of 19. She had had no previous contact with the Sisters of the Holy Family; she said, “I just filled out the paperwork and had my family drive me to the convent so I could enter. I walked up the steps of Hayes and Fillmore

and never left.”

Sister Paulina’s early years among the sisters were spent in the field of religious education in the Bay Area, Monterey County, Mount Shasta, Reno, and Pleasant Hill. She then moved on to working in parishes with the divorced and separated, hospice and grief groups, and retreat ministry.

In 1990, she began work with Seton Medical Center’s West Bay Home Health Services, where she pioneered the role of home health care chaplain, often visiting with people she had first met during a hospital visit. She was known for her

gentle ways with people and for listening and responding to needs. She retired from compensated ministry in 2008 and continued in volunteer chaplaincy until she suffered a serious stroke in early 2009.

Following the stroke, she moved to the Motherhouse in Fremont, where she remained until her death.

Sister Paulina’s focus of work was with adults, and she loved her interactions with them. She also loved the SF Giants baseball, SF 49ers football, and camping. She spent many vacations in tents and hiking in the forests of Cali-

fornia. She remained close to her sister Christine, brotherin-law Doyle, and extended family; she enjoyed spending time with them in rural California when she was still able to travel. When she could no longer travel, she enjoyed their visits, playing games of Farkle and eating home-cooked enchiladas and tamales.

Sister Paulina’s funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, January 26, at 2:00 pm in the Sisters’ Oratory in Fremont.

Graveside services will take place on Saturday, February 3, at 11:30, in Santa Margarita Cemetery.

arolyn Jane Roach-Hendershot passed away after a cardiac event on January 15, 2024.

Carolyn, known to many as just “MOM,” was a decedent of a founding Paso Robles pioneer family. Born with her twin sister Marilyn to Clifford and Blanche (Brown) Bresette near the end of WWII. She graduated from Paso Robles High School in 1961 and was

a Hometown Bearcat fan/ supporter. She never missed a game, even if by radio, during her snowbird years in Palm Springs, CA. If you knew Carolyn, you knew she was very proud of her family and of being a Paso Roblin. She was actively involved in many community volunteer efforts, including the local parks and Recreation skateboard project, School classrooms/Library, PTA, and

the war memorial library.

She married her last true love, Larry Hendershot, a Paso Robles Police officer.

They traveled together in their retirement years and continued to be involved in community volunteer efforts, such as the emergency management program in Palm Springs, before he preceded her in death in 2017.

Carolyn Leaves behind two sons, Daniel Bacon (Ben) of

Palm Springs, Ca. and Michael Roach (Susanne) of Camarillo, Ca. A twin sister, Marilyn Bynum of Paso Robles, CA., two grandchildren (Crystal & Cassandra), three great-grandchildren (Tyler, Lilly, & Lexi), and many nieces and nephews.

Memorial Services will be at Kuehl Nicolay Memorial Home in Paso Robles, followed by a Graveside service at Paso Robles District Cemetery.

District should take proper care of Dual Immersion Program

BRIAN MAXTED GUEST COLUMNIST

W

ith more than 600 students in grades kindergarten through fifth, Paso Robles’ Dual Immersion Program, Georgia Brown, currently housed at its namesake campus at 36th Street, has grown to become the district’s largest and most sought after elementary school program. Until recently, switching to a lottery system to handle demand, parents from all over Paso Robles and beyond would camp out overnight to secure their children’s spot in the program that grounds the fundamentals of their child’s educational journey in both Spanish and English. Its administration is excellent, with its principal, Celia Moses, recently being awarded Woman of the Year, long-tenured teachers with experience teaching in both languages, and outsized results, including leading the district in EL Student’s Progress in recent statewide tests by a phenomenal 19.3 percent compared to the districtwide average of 2.9 percent.

However, the program’s success can be attributed to more than simply language — it is a reflection of the Paso Robles community, where diverse racial, socioeconomic, rural, and more urban backgrounds choose to send their children on a shared adventure of academic, cultural, language and social exploration and unity. In 2024, Georgia Brown is achieving what many parts of our country sorely lack — choosing to come together regardless of background. The program is also a policy success and a rare beast, both empowering parents (those lucky enough to receive a winning lottery spot) with school choice, while celebrating different cultures and leaning into diversity.

The results speak for themselves: The Dual Immersion Program has grown over the years and is now 66 percent larger than any other district elementary school program and remains oversubscribed, where all other elementary and middle school campuses are substantially under capacity.

Specifically, all five of the other public elementary schools in the district have substantial available space in their existing facilities, with each campus underutilized with between 44-66 percent of design capacity utilization.

Curiously, the only other elementary schools in Paso Robles that are at capacity and/ or have a waiting list include the one charter school (Almond Acres) and both private schools (St. Rose and Trinity). The reason behind such decreases

in enrollment have a lot to do with demographics; specifically, Paso Robles is becoming more expensive, pricing out many young families from settling or staying in the district often in exchange for retirees who choose the location for its great weather, bucolic roots, and exploding wine scene, and who can afford the price tag. Many of the demographics of the few new families moving into the district consist of either agricultural workers, often from a native Spanish-speaking family, or teleworkers who have fled the chaos of urban areas for the sanity, high quality of life, and relative prosperity of Paso Robles.

In all cases, parents are seeking the best choices for their children’s education, and the Dual Immersion Program, as well as other programs that empower the parents to choose what kind of educational experience they deem best for their child, is and could continue to be a draw to young families moving to Paso Robles. Ultimately, the district has a generational challenge on its hands — how to manage a declining number of overall school-aged children with existing infrastructure and resources while maximizing the educational experiences for families in the community.

The district’s track record in the recent past of managing these precious and decreasing resources has been so detached from reality and effective governance that in 2020, a San Luis Obispo Grand Jury released a report titled “Paso Robles School District: A Cautionary Tale” evaluating the Paso Robles School District’s financial crisis at the time as having represented “failures in leadership and management” and provided a “detailed illustration of how a school district can inadvertently fail its students and the community it serves.”

The report stated, “that [the District’s] collective failures to control or report on excessive expenditures created a fiscal crisis that will take time and hard work to resolve.”

The report further detailed that between 2014 and 2018, the district’s reserves declined from about 10 percent of the annual budget, or more than $6 million, to approximately 0.4 percent of the budget. Some of the school board has turned over since 2020, and the district is still building back both reserves, and credibility, from those dark days.

All the while, the Dual Immersion Program has flourished despite being resource-neglected for decades. In talking to some, there used to be a large overcurrent (and perhaps now, more of an unspoken undercurrent in some corners) that only English should be taught in our elementary schools. At the center of this controversy is the physical campus at 36th Street, originally built in 1948; the campus is beyond its useful life and in a shameful state of disrepair, with real questions about health and safety, includ-

ing mold, pest infestations, leaky roofs, broken heaters, and air conditioners; and structural concerns where entire wings consists of unreinforced masonry and aging structural supports that may not hold as well in the next large earthquake. Not to mention that as part of an exploratory environmental impact report for renovations, it was discovered that the entire 36th Street campus sits on a geological anomaly that may make building on the site in the foreseeable future well-delayed to potentially unfeasible. Is it a coincidence that the school located in one of the lowest income parts of Paso Robles is one of the oldest campuses, the last to be renovated, and kept in a state of disrepair for shamefully long?

In the upcoming weeks, the school board is going to make its fourth plan in five years on where to physically accommodate the Dual Immersion Program. Although the district states that it is dedicated to the success and continuation of the Dual Immersion Program, actions speak louder than words. Instead of prioritizing its largest and most sought after program that is bringing real choice, diversity, and results to the district, the options currently being discussed most by the board and the district Advisory Committee include 1.) keeping the Dual Immersion Program on a crumbling 36th Street campus that is busting at its seams and presents ever-growing health and safety concerns; 2.) dividing the Dual Immersion Program into multiple other elementary school campuses, fracturing its unique community and risking diluting or disintegrating its success; or 3) shoving over 600 students into the undersized temporary trailer campus next to Flamson on 24th Street that will be an absolute traffic nightmare, and having no line of sight on a permanent home or confirmation that funds actually exist to build one.

All three of these solutions severely put at risk the continued success of the program. Is the assumption that because the program is so popular, community parents will just deal with ever-growing risks to health and safety? Is there a further assumption that excellent teachers and administrators will just grin and bear continued neglect, displacement, and disruption without a permanent solution? As a parent in this community engaged with other Georgia Brown parents and teachers alike, I know for a cold, hard fact that the above current options being discussed put in real jeopardy one of the crown jewels of the Paso Robles School District.

What else is the district taking for granted in this gambit beyond a successful, bilingual, multicultural, and diverse social economic success? Money. Each enrolled student in a public elementary school brings about $14,000 per year in state tax money to the district. This tax money not only helps augment teacher

salaries, but provides resources for administrators, infrastructure, and ongoing expenses. The Dual Immersion Program has nearly 70 students from partner districts in the greater unified school district, namely Templeton, San Miguel, and Atascadero. This means that the Dual Immersion Program is bringing in nearly a million dollars a year from neighboring districts into the Paso Robles School District. For an area that is facing declining schoolaged demographics, underutilized campuses, and past and potential future budget shortfalls, the Dual Immersion Program is the golden goose that the district has been plucking to feed whatever it is they have been doing at the detriment of its largest, most diverse, and most in-demand program.

What would happen if the Dual Immersion Program left Paso Robles altogether? Hypothetically, the program could move its experience, administrators, teachers, and families seven miles up the road to the San Miguel district, which with its native-speaking Spanish population would well meet the demand and state’s requirements of a 50 percent native Spanish speaking student body. Imagine 300 students up and leaving for San Miguel — that is more than $4 million in state tax dollars that would leave the Paso Robles School District. What if all 600 students left? Hypothetically, what if the Dual Immersion Program merged with or sought charter status similar to Almond Acres? Again, those tax dollars would leave the district with those students and make the challenge of managing a district with underutilized assets and a declining school population substantially worse.

And yet, there are multiple solutions that embrace this highly successful and long-neglected community and help fortify the district during this period of overall decline of school-age enrollment and potential upcoming budget shortfalls. These solutions include 1.) movement of the Dual Immersion Program to Winifred Pifer or Bauer Speck campuses and redistribute school boundaries of those campuses to other elementary schools or 2.) consolidation of either middle school campus and placing the Dual Immersion Program in either Flamson or Lewis middle schools and perhaps, with a little bit of vision, extending the Dual Immersion Program through eighth grade to both alleviate the pressure on just one middle school campus and lean into the strength that the Dual Immersion Program brings to the district. What if the district brought sixth grade back to elementary schools and moved the Dual Immersion Program into one of the two middle schools? Sure, this would involve some change management, but plenty of school districts around the country have sixth grade as part of elementary school and such

a move would evenly distribute those rising sixth-graders throughout the open seats on their existing, non-crumbling, elementary school campuses.

Any of the above choices would be a better use of existing resources and leaves potential capital dollars to either allocate to other worthy programs like a.) the half-designed and partly purchased student aquatics center; b.) build a more manageably sized elementary or middle school, if needed, at the 36th street campus; c.) and/or fortify the district’s balance sheet at a time where the state as a whole is facing a $37 billion budget shortfall, which includes $15 billion of unplanned K-12 budget cuts.

To assume that Measure M (state school-related infrastructure tax dollars) will be available when and in the amount needed to build an entirely new campus large enough to house the existing and future Dual Immersion Program demand places such aspirations in the hopes-and-prayers category.

Especially given the district’s recent track record of financial instability, outlaying tens of millions of dollars to build a large campus that it does not necessarily need (either in size or potential at all in the near future), which seems like the Groundhog Day of fiscal irresponsibility.

Talk about consolidation of campuses brings understandably emotional reactions from those with school-aged children, residents living in the surrounding area, and the teachers and/or administrators the decisions would affect.

However, whether in business or government, leaders are put in place to lead, which often means making hard choices with limited resources and taking into consideration what is in the best interest of all stakeholders. Emotional sentiments are important, but putting safety and mission first, wisely using resources, building on strengths, and managing and empowering the human capital is paramount to the success of any large organization. Effectively making a change is about shepherding past the perceived hardship of something like a move or consolidation and remembering that these choices are made primarily for the benefit of all the children in our community to attend a safe and healthy learning environment and to empower parents with the educational choices they seek for their children — not necessarily tied to any one particular name, building, or location.

I have watched the leadership in Paso Robles make hard decisions before regarding business continuity during COVID and whether CRT should or should not be taught in our district. And whether you agree or disagree with their decision in such instances, our leaders listened to all stakeholders, and took a position on what they felt was in the best overall interest for our community. But indecision of a temporary

A Note About Our

campus is also a decision, and continual neglect of the Dual Immersion Program and the communities it supports is risking one of the district’s best success stories, underutilizing existing resources, and showing no clear vision for what they want the school district to be or become.

Ultimately, the challenge I present to the Paso Robles District School Board: Do not simply be reactive to one constituency’s or another’s loudest squeaky wheels but rather take this opportunity to further clarify the district’s mission and vision, take the demographic trends seriously so we can maintain all our hard working teachers and administrators, keep the children and parents who trust them with their children’s education first and foremost in mind, be wise with limited resources (especially given past indiscretions), and use the need for change to drive innovate solutions.

For me, the choice is clear, although the big shiny new building for the Dual Immersion Program at 36th street sounds, in theory, incredible, I do not believe it is justified at this time given the available room in the district, declining future demographics, and past and future budget challenges.

And if we keep dangling this out to stakeholders as if it’s a real or responsible reality, it will also delay the hard and prudent choices.

Unquestionably, allowing students to go to school in the conditions that exists on the 36th campus is shameful and a dereliction of basic duty. Placing our largest, most diverse, most sought-after, and highly successful elementary school program in a temporary campus with no certainty of permanence is incompetency that would bankrupt any successful business and risks tearing this beautiful success story at its seams. The district needs to choose a consolidation path, start planning immediately to be carried out no later than the beginning of next school year or perhaps sooner if the conditions at the 36th Street deteriorate further, and stick to it through the noise carrying hearts and minds along the way. And use the process to sharpen your vision of what you want the district and its programs to be beyond shiny new buildings. Paso Robles was built on common sense, a community coming together to overcome obstacles, and a dash of maverick boldness — now more than ever, we need that spirit driving the solutions for a better Paso Robles School District for generations to come.

with Kristin, therefore preventing her murder.

In the years following Kristin’s disappearance, Flores left Cal Poly for various jobs throughout the state, primarily in Southern California.

Several witnesses have been brought forward alleging Flores raped and assaulted them. The lawsuit also claims that if Cal Poly looked harder into Flores from the beginning, these other assaults and rapes could have been prevented.

The lawsuit further explains that these mishandlings by the university have caused the family “decades of trauma and emotional distress caused by knowing that Kristin’s murderer was still free and that her body was still hidden, and that her murderer could hurt other women.”

The Smart family says they did not begin to put together the lawsuit against Cal Poly until after the president’s public apology which they say, “It was at this point that the Smart family began to understand Cal Poly’s failings.”

According to the lawsuit, Cal Poly still has not provided the family with the full investigation file, and that on Sept. 15, 2023, the university responded stating, “we have determined that all four claims were and have not been timely presented after the relevant event or occurrence within

the time period required by law.”

The day following the off-campus party where Kristin was last seen, her friends reported her missing to the university’s campus police. However, because it was a holiday weekend, they wanted to wait until after the Memorial Day weekend was over

to take their missing person report.

At that time, the campus police suggested Kristin had left town or gone camping with friends. It wasn’t until four days after her disappearance that campus police began to investigate. They did not search Flores’s dorm room until 16 days

Many believed it would change the town’s established charm.

Vikki Hoffman, one of those opposing the project, kept her opinion staight to the point: “I oppose the project in its entirety. That was clear, right?”

Some residents approved of the project seeing its benefits for the hospital, law enforcement, and other workers in the area who work night-time hours.

after Kristin’s disappearance, despite multiple people claiming he was the last person seen with her. However, it took the university 31 days to conduct a formal investigation of his room with a crime scene investigator.

The lawsuit further details Flores’s aggressive behavior and multiple filed reports against him at the campus and following Kristin’s disappearance.

Two of those reports detailed in the lawsuit claim that in December 1995, a female Cal Poly student filed a police report stating Flores had been harrassing her and climbed the trellis of her apartment to spy on her. Again, in March 1996, more Cal Poly students filed police reports saying Flores had been stalking them, and again, Flores was found trying to break into their apartment by climbing their balcony.

While the lawsuit does not specify an amount in damages, the lawsuit says, “Cal Poly’s failures are indefensible, and it must be held accountable to prevent this cycle of callous negligence from ever occurring again.”

Paso Robles Press is following this story and will provide updates as they become available.

The snowball effect, she said, has the potential to be devastating to downtown businesses.

Burns, who makes it a point to be in her store during the week to build a relationship with local shoppers, said, “In a perfect world, I would like to see it [paid parking] go away because we rely so heavily on our local people coming in to sustain our businesses.”

Soon the Main Street Association will be meeting to

collaborate and brainstorm for how to bring locals back into Downtown said Burns.

“I just think that the city is not in tune with the citizens of Downtown. They don’t listen,” she adds, “People needed to be reminded that we can easily go away.”

District 1 Supervisor John Peschong, who represents Templeton and lives there, issued his support for the project.

“I have heard from both sides ... this is not a battle between neighbors. This is a discussion about policies and property rights,” said Peschong. “I do believe at the end of the day, after listening to this, that this project will benefit the community the way it is now.”

District 5 Supervisor Debbie Arnold and District 3 Supervisor Dawn Ortiz Legg both echoed Peschong and gave their support for the project, providing the final 3-2 vote.

Supervisors Paulding and Gibson both voted no to approve the project as presented.

Trustee Laurene McCoy echoed Trustee Nathan Williams and Jim Cogan’s concerns about placing the Georgia Brown students at the temporary campus for fear of them being there longer than intended. Overall, there was a feeling that trustees were not ready to make a decision on either recommendation yet.

Following the motion made by Cogan, staff will also be bringing back information with further options and potential future use for the Georgia Brown campus.

In two weeks, trustees will make another decision as to which campus Georgia Brown students will be moving to for the next school year.

Honor Flight team continues to prepare for May journey Nonprofit in need of volunteer guardian on one of the upcoming flights STAFF REPORT

NORTH COUNTY — The Honor Flight team has announced their next flight is taking off this upcoming May 13 to 15. Commemorating the first anniversary of their larger flights, the team reflects on a year filled with memorable journeys, heartfelt moments of honor, and expressions of gratitude.

Preparations are in full swing, with the team successfully completing two rounds of interviews with veterans and guardians. Individuals who received an invitation for an interview but couldn’t attend either of the sessions are urged to check their email for details on the final round or reach out to info@honorflightccc.org with any inquiries.

The May flight holds special significance, symbolizing not only a year of experience but also an opportunity to increase the capacity of veterans.

The spotlight for February is Texture Salon’s “Black Histor y Month Lounge: Celebrating Arts and History.” The lounge will include drum circles led by Tracy Morgan at 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., a digital gallery of

Vietnam veteran Danny Richards significantly contributes to the cause. The accompanying photo features A-Z member Ryan Smith, veteran and A-Z member Pat Noland, and A-Z co-founder Rodney Torres. Gratitude is also expressed to Ryan and his father, Vietnam veteran Larry Smith, who auctioned off a second pig hunt, raising an additional $2,900.

Equally deserving of appreciation is the Callahan Family Foundation, represented by long-time board member and Honor Flight champion Caralee Wade’s daughter and son-in-law. Their donation of $10,000 further bolsters the mission and deep appreciation is expressed for their continued support.

Chairman’s address at Estrella Warbirds Chairman Bear McGill had the distinct honor of being invited to speak at Estrella Warbirds’ monthly dinner on Jan. 3. Representing Honor Flight Central Coast as the featured speaker, McGill provided firsthand insights into the mission and impact of Honor Flight.

The presentation was not only interesting and informative but also a unique opportunity for McGill to delve into the intricacies of the “Tour of Honor” and the motivations driving him and others in the community. Many members of the dedicated board attended, demonstrating their unwavering support for this meaningful occasion. Bear expressed gratitude for the ongoing support of the mission, making it a memorable and impactful event.

The team feels privileged to have been a part of Estrella Warbirds’ first monthly dinner of 2024 and looks forward to the continued support of the Honor Flight community as they embark on another inspiring journey in May.

The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor: Jeff Esquibel and Cindy Esquibel husband and wife as joint tenants Duly Appointed Trustee: Carrington Foreclosure Services, LLC Recorded 8/17/2012 as Instrument No. 2012046217 in book , page of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of San Luis Obispo County, California, Described as follows: As more fully described in said Deed of Trust Date of Sale: 3/5/2024 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: In the breezeway adjacent to the County General Services Building, located at 1087 Santa Rosa St., San Luis Obispo, CA 93408 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $224,054.93 (Estimated) Street Address or other common designation of real property: 3288 OAK KNOLL DR PASO ROBLES, CA 93446 A.P.N.: 040-122-073 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid.

The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee,

or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holder’s rights against the real property only. THIS NOTICE IS SENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF COLLECTING A DEBT. THIS FIRM IS ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT ON BEHALF OF THE HOLDER AND OWNER OF THE NOTE. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED

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.

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.

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.

ith the Super bowl looming on the horizon, I’ve started looking for recipes for our “party time” — something more than onion dip and chips. But do not worry; onion dip will always be on the menu, I tell my husband.

Let’s start with a dried fruit cheese ball rolled in toasted pine nuts and served with crackers.

Apricot-Cherry Cheese Ball Ingredients: • 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened • 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated • 1 cup dried apricots, chopped • 1/4 cup dried cherries, chopped • 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted

and chopped Directions: Chop dried apricots and dried cherries in a food processor. Combine with cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Toast pie nuts and chop when cooled.

Form cheese mixture into a ball and roll in the chopped pine nuts.

Cover and chill for 2 hours before serving.

Note: If you feel clever, shape the cheese ball to look like a football, using some very thin sliced strips of dried apricot to make the stitched area on the ball.

Traditional Kentucky Beer Cheese Ingredients: • 1 (8-ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar • 1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce • 1 garlic clove, minced • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper • 1/4 cup beer (you drink the rest!)

• 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions or parsley Directions: Combine cheddar, cream cheese, Worcestershire, garlic, dry mustard, cayenne, and beer in a medium bowl; mix well.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight to allow flavors to blend.

Shape into a log or a ball and sprinkle with green onions. Serve with celery, crackers or small pieces of toasted dark rye bread. Can be prepared up to a week in advance.

Pepperoni-Parmesan Puff Pastry Rolls Ingredients: • 1 (8-ounce) sheet frozen puff pastry, defrosted • All-purpose flour, for dusting • 3 tablespoons tomato paste • 1 teaspoon dried basil • 1 shallot, diced • 1/2 cup finely diced pepperoni • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

After finding that hamburgers were 80 percent of their business they concentrated on burgers when they introduced the first fast food in 1948 which included burgers that were cooked and served in one minute.

A salesman of milkshake machines noticed that one restaurant was sending in orders for an inordinate number of machines, and it piqued the salesman’s interest. That salesman was Ray Kroc, who would eventually become CEO of McDonald’s, and he expanded the chain and its first mascot, a hamburger-faced “Speedee,” across America. Their first hamburgers cost 15 cents, and their fabulous fries were 12 cents. Interestingly, Kroc supposedly copied the franchise system from the Singer Sewing Machine Corporation.

McDonald’s success fostered a slew of competitors and copycats, and soon, the average American was eating three burgers per week. After coming to California to see the secret to McDonald’s success, two guys from Miami went home and started their first store in 1954 under the InstaBurger King name, which later became Burger King.

Bob’s Big Boy was started in 1936 in Glendale, California, and would become famous,

among other things, for introducing the first double deck cheeseburger. Jack In The Box was started in San Diego, with a giant clown perched on its roof and customers in their cars ordered by talking to a clown that had an intercom for guts.

Interestingly, Jack in The Box had a clown for a mascot before Ronald McDonald came along.

Other chains that had their start in California included Fosters Freeze in 1946 in Inglewood, Hot Dog on A Stick in Santa Monica in 1946 (originally called Party Puffs) and Carl’s Jr. also in 1956 in Anaheim that originally was a hot dog stand.

One of my favorite chains that used a lot of beef but didn’t sell hamburgers was Taco Bell, which was started in 1962 in another suburb of LA: Downey. Taco Bell was an immediate success, and it gave rise to Del Taco two years later in Yermo, California.

Taco Bell got its name from the founder’s last name which was Bell.

are required to go into a battle you can’t be taking all that junk with you. Let me explain.

Maybe you’re about to go into a season of personal growth fighting for your destiny and mental health — leave your baggage. Maybe you’re in deep prayer fighting for your loved one’s safety and their souls — leave that baggage! Maybe you’re dead-set on getting out of debt — you can’t spend the way you’ve spent in the past.

You cannot simultaneously fight and hold on to the stuff that you’ve been carrying, that you’ve been burdened with, that’s been holding you back.

You cannot be victorious and also hold on to past hurts and regrets. I encourage you to run towards the battle that you need to face and let go of all that negativity. Don’t let anything hold you back from what is destined to be yours!

You will be victorious, you will succeed, you will be an over-

and eventually became the largest hot dog chain in the world.

Another chain started in California that didn’t serve hamburgers but did sell beef was Panda Express that went into business in 1972 in Glendale with its rendition of American Chinese food.

Perhaps not since McDonald’s has a California chain caused so much commotion as In-N-Out Burger. This chain began with a single restaurant in Baldwin Park (not far from McDonald’s original location) and soon its drive up windows were overwhelmed by customers who wanted their cheeseburger double-doubles. In-N-Out is the anti-McDonald’s with all its burgers made from whole muscle cuts that are fresh, never frozen. Although it’s been mostly a California phenomenon until now, they’ve begun their march eastward.

Heaven forbid, if you ever tired of plain burgers, there were other California beef delights developed in the Golden State, like French dip sandwiches and chili burgers. For dessert, you could go to other California-founded chains like Baskin Robbins, IHOP, or Orange Julius.

comer. Sacrifices must be made in the name of victory. Let God be your “baggage keeper.” 1 Peter 5:7 tells us to cast all our cares upon the Lord because He cares for us.

There is so much good stuff to unpack in this amazing story from 1 Samuel, but just to finish the story for those who aren’t aware or who need closure: David accepts the challenge to go against Goliath but rejects traditional armor.

He goes after Goliath with his staff, his slingshot, and five smooth stones. He nails Goliath right between the eyes with a rock on his first shot. Goliath falls. David runs over and cuts off his head. The enemy of God is defeated, and David’s destiny begins to unfold, ultimately becoming king of Israel.
