AUSD REPORTS CAUTIOUS APPROACH TO SPENDING Savings a priority for the school district heading into a potential recession By NICHOLAS MATTSON nic@atascaderonews.com ATASCADERO — A clash of priorities and projected budget concerns challenge the Atascadero Unified School District as it manages the conclusion of the 2019-2020 year amidst a COVID-19 shutdown. Looking to maintain stability in the district and meet essential needs, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Jackie Martin opened the April 21 meeting with an update on meeting district needs and financial priorities. The district reported a total of 20 full-time budgeted employee positions, which can be allocated among more than 20 employees by way of part-time employment opportunities. Martin reported those positions have been open for most of the 2019-2020 school year, and with the state shutdowns of school districts, the urgency to fill those positions has been tempered. Among other financial savings, the district continues to audit where reduction of resources can be made, and expenditures curbed to prepare for a projected economic recession. “I’m looking at all the allocations,” Martin said, “all the ‘stuff ’ we buy and see what kind of savings [we can make]. We put a spending freeze in place, and are only approving expenditures that are essential.” Martin said the district will wait until after July 1 to decide how to address future needs for the 2020-2021 school year. “What we need for this school year, we are ordering it,” Martin explained to the board of trustees. “If it is needed for the fall, we are not processing those at this time because we really don’t know what the fall might look like just yet.” “We anticipate utility savings,” Martin said. “We just had a conversation yesterday about turning off the heater to the pool — why are we heating the pool when nobody is using it right now?” Turning off unnecessary heating and cooling systems across the campuses, including in-classroom refrigerators, are expected to help cut costs. “I’m assuming there won’t be any more trips this year,” Martin CONTINUED ON PAGE A14

WITH A COMMUNITY FEELING VULNERABLE, THE CANCER SUPPORT COMMUNITY FORGES FORWARD By HAYLEY MATTSON hayley@atascaderonews.com
A
s with many non-profits, the Cancer Support Community, Central Coast, located in Templeton, relies heavily on donations and grants to provide non-medical, social, and emotional support of cancer patients and their families at no charge. In light of the current health pandemic, they have shifted to offering only virtual
services so that patients and their families can have continued support. Virtual services are not a new feature that the CSCCC provided to their patients; this came long before the arrival of the novel coronavirus. Sheltering-at-home was no stranger as well, is not a term that most know; however, it is a term that cancer patients and their families can well relate. When a patient goes through treatment, their immune system is compromised, and their health,
strength, and well-being is the utmost importance. Cancer patients spend many weeks to months in social isolation, with only a few intimate family members and friends allowed to be in close contact. This is why the virtual “telehealth” support, which is a HIPPA compliant, was implemented a few years ago. “I am proud of our team and how quickly they have reacted to support all our participants virtually. Support groups and counseling have moved to
virtual alternatives, and we are looking to add education, mind/body sessions, and other resources daily, creating a healthy and vibrant virtual local Cancer Support Community,” Shannon D’Acquisto, CSCCC Executive Director, wrote in an email. Shannon is not only a two-time cancer survivor, but she continues a courageous battle with a recent diagnosis (2019) CONTINUED ON PAGE A14

cating the catch to jail time to losing your permits all can enter the picture, so it is best to cover your bases. Next comes the scale. Are scales considered an essential business? Will the Department of Weights and Measures be open when you need to register the scale? And marketing? How are we going to market these fish to the general public? Are the stores that make banners open or closed? I have been able to find most of the answers, and we’re 90% ready to go on Friday, May 1. That’s when the commercial salmon season opens. The catch to all this? The fish have to show up off of the central coast. If they don’t, then our plan is blown all to hell, and the boat and my family will head up north. At that point, we’ll come up with plan C to sell the fish. Now a few things to look for when buying a wild salmon. This fish should appear bright and clean, with all of its scales intact. Clear eyes are a must. The flesh should be firm, like a tomato. No gaff marks or sea lion bites-those are the fish we eat. Look in the belly flap; there should be no yellow; the fish should be pink. The ribs should not be broken or separated from the flesh. That’s called belly burn and a sign of mishandling. The salmon should be cleaned after they are caught as the salmon blood is acidic and ruins the flesh if the fish isn’t cleaned right away. The fish have to be sold whole, but can be cut after purchase. We look forward to meeting you, and thank you for your interest in our family business.

Athlon Fitness Distributes $30K in Equipment In response to shelter-at-home orders, owner Ryan Joiner put equipment in the hands of his members
Although in-person fitness training is out of the question, Athlon owner Ryan Joiner has given his members a generous reminder that fitness goals are more important than ever. Contributed photo
STAFF REPORT
A
thlon Fitness & Performance, a personalized fitness and performance coaching company with locations in San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles, has given out $30,000 worth of gym equipment since the stay-at-home order was handed down, and they’re still giving out more. On April 19, Athlon had to close its doors to in-person fitness training due to the SLO County Health Department’s Stayat-Home order. So they pivoted their service offerings to 100% online virtual coaching. “We didn’t want our members to give up on their fitness goals,
especially now, when fitness is as important as ever,” says Ryan Joiner, owner of Athlon Fitness & Performance. “We had two gyms full of equipment that was completely useless unless in the hands of our customers. So I told them to come get it, free of charge.” Joiner and his team began experimenting with video equipment, lighting, online video platforms, and other now-necessary skills to bring their unique brand of fitness into the virtual world. On the Monday following the Countywide closer, they began delivering 10 online training sessions per day to their customers. In total Athlon has given out over $30,000 worth of equipment, including barbells, dumbbells, bands, rowers, bikes, medicine balls,
and mats. They still have customers requesting more. “I was actually a little surprised at how many people took me up on my offer,” says Joiner. “It’s a little scary watching all of my equipment, some of it brand new, walk away. But I know it’s in good hands, and continuing to serve its purpose of helping our members, which is why I have it in the first place.” Joiner expects the equipment to be returned fairly quickly after reopening because members will be excited to workout together again. Complete information is available at AthlonElite.com for those who want to learn more or opt-in for a free trial to experience their new virtual fitness and performance coaching.

COUNTY READY TO TAKE ‘TWO STEPS FORWARD AND ONE STEP BACK’ Post State authorization, SLO County reopening plan scheduled for public presentation on Friday By NICHOLAS MATTSON
T
hree days of high local testing by the SLO County health lab, in response to a positive case in a staff member of a nursing home and multiple positive cases at the California Men’s Colony, produced a low rate of positive results since Friday’s highest single-day count of 14 in SLO County. The decreasing results continue to hold the door wide open for reopening the county’s economy and bringing industry and business sectors online in a phased and gradual rollout that members of the task force responsible for the plan reported will be a three-phase action plan. San Luis Obispo County Supervisor and task force member Chairperson Lynn Compton provided an update at Monday’s SLO County briefing at the Joint Information Center. The plan will be considered a framework for moving forward as a living document subject to change and adaptation to circumstances and information. Compton said the framework will be release to for public review on Friday, May 1. “It will guide the loosening of restrictions,” Compton said about the plan. The task force chairperson, Cal Poly professor and epidemiologist Dr. Aydin Nazmi expanded on the scope of the plan from a medical and public health perspective. “Our community is living with COVID19, and our community will have to reopen in the presence of COVID-19,” Nazmi said. “That is OK. As long as we open gradually and thoughtfully, we will be in a good position to recover economically.” With 46 days of restricted economy and social movement, local, regional and state businesses suffer from financial damage, and each day brings further strain on thinning budgets. The goal of preventing the overwhelming of local healthcare was accom-
plished, locally and at a state level, and reopening the economy without initiating unmanageable surge of new cases that could diminish quality healthcare is the forefront of the framework doctrine. “Loosening of any restrictions will be phased in gradually and based on local data,” Nazmi said. “Both patient outcomes, such as new infections, admissions [hospitalizations], and deaths, and capacity such as facilities, personnel, and ability to trace contacts will be drivers of County guidelines for loosening and tightening restrictions.” With the opening of the economy, SLO County residents would be tasked to control the further spread of COVID-19 at manageable levels to prevent a backsliding of progress toward full economic and social operation. “It is critical that loosening of preventative measures be retightened when local or regional data suggest regression of these parameters,” Nazmi said. “Data about these measures will be continually monitored and there is a spike in new cases or an epidemic curve is imminent, restrictions will be reinstated. We may need to take two steps forward and one step back.” The expert task force developing the plan will provide for three phases of gradual reopening. Before entering phase one, Governor Newsom must lift or modify the current stay-at-home order, and public health guidelines must be met. Part of the engagement process to develop the strategy, local chambers of commerce and cities provided localized feedback for the plan. “The County and our cities should be given a lot of credit for working proactively,” SLO Chamber of Commerce CEO Jim Dantona said, “and not like most governmental agencies, waiting to react. We had to react at the start of this crisis, and we are not letting that happen again.” Over the course of the past six weeks, Dantona has led the SLO chamber to engage with business and banking experts keep businesses open, and qualify them for federal and state funding while the economic damage wreaked havoc on small businesses. As an advocate for business reopening, Dantona encouraged unity between local business and local leadership to work through the phases of reopening successfully. “A healthy economy requires a healthy
population,” Dantona said. “We have a long road ahead of us, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. If we continue to work together, we can and will save SLO County’s economy while also keeping our community healthy.” SLO County Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein continues to monitor and provide direction for the reopening as the leading health authority. On Monday, she reported with a consistent calming attitude. “We have four individuals in the hospital and none in intensive care,” Borenstein said. “That puts us right back where we were before the spike.” For most of the past two weeks, Borenstein has pressed two issues into the public discussion — the need for continued distancing, hygiene, personal care, and healthy behaviors, and the forward progress of the County to begin a phased reopening of the economy and community. San Luis Obispo County has been recognized in the national media for pushing the boundaries, respectfully, of the State orders for shelter-at-home. The plan for phased reopening is preemptive of the Governors relaxing of statewide orders against “business as usual.” On Friday, the County will make the plan available publicly, and the decision will be handed to the Governor as to allow SLO County’s local government to implement the plan. “Everyone has given their intelligence and creativity and hard work to get us to phase one,” Borenstein said. “We cannot enter phase one until we get the go ahead from the governor. We are living under, abide by and respect the state order that is in place.” The plan will be considered a living document, subject to change. Borenstein asked for continued input from the community to address needs and circumstances to apply to the plan as things progress. Currently, a single-question survey is available. “Before we do any measure of reopening is that our positive cases don’t increase over a 14 day period,” Borenstein said. “If we have been flat over three weeks, even if we have some upticks, we will keep moving forward.” Not losing sight of the reality of slowing the virus, not stopping the virus, Borenstein’s steady gait has shouldered the burden of progress for SLO County. Key factors and indicators of success have been met with flying colors, as the death rate per capita in SLO
County is 100 times lower than California as a whole. The capacity for healthcare is leading the County’s approach to reopening, with a steady drumbeat of recommendations: • If you are sick, stay home; • If you are elderly, stay home; • If you experience COVID-19 symptoms, contact your doctor, urgent care, or the County; • If you are out, stay cautious and keep distance; • If caution and distance are not possible, wear a mask; • Wash your hands with soap and/or sanitizer; • Enjoy life, get outdoors, and stay healthy; “We are keeping a close eye on our death rate and health care workers,” Borenstein said. “There has been a small uptick, but are rare, and we want to see that going forward. We are going to recommend to those vulnerable populations that they continue to stay at home.” Borenstein did not admonish beachgoers for their weekend activities on the warmest weekend of the year, but urged health measures and caution. “[Enjoy SLO County] in a way that does not actually present risk, or give the appearance of risk,” Borenstein said. “If you go to the beach with a family unit, stick together, keep distance — six feet is good, but 20 feet is better.” As the weather warms and travel instincts kick in around the Central Coast, concern about spread of COVID-19 from out of SLO County, including areas with higher prevalence of the disease, into SLO County will be an ongoing challenge. Currently, the County is monitoring visitor activity from neighboring counties and other areas, through hotel occupancy numbers, and communicating with areas about visiting San Luis Obispo County. “We are, at the time being, asking our visitors to stay away,” Borenstein said. “Hotel occupancy ticked up a little bit, but they are staying low compared to past years.” Borenstein is scheduled to return in front of the public on Wednesday to give another report, and the plan for phased reopening is scheduled to be released to the public on Friday. Meetings are scheduled at 3:15 p.m., in person at the Joint Information Center in SLO, and streamed online from the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department Facebook page.

County Forges Ahead with Reopening Despite Uptick in COVID-19
Higher-than-usual cases of COVID-19 fall within acceptable range of healthcare capacity By NICHOLAS MATTSON SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — On Friday, District 1 Supervisor John Peschong restated today that timeline at the regularly scheduled public briefing by the SLO County Public Health Department. Peschong began by addressing the urgency of reopening, echoing the statement by California Governor Gavin Newsom that there is no date set for reopening. Reopening of the community has been established as a process based on indicators of community health and safety. “We will be ready next week to release a roadmap for a phased reopening,” Peschong said. “Our goal is to get this out quickly to the public, but not at the expense of being thoughtful, deliberative and inclusive.” Peschong affirmed that the roadmap will be a high-level overview of each new phasing of reopening, with additional details to follow. Pierce stated on Monday that the task force putting the plan together has two weeks to get one year of work done, so it might be expected that the plan will continue to be formulated more gradually than having an instant master plan. While the Roadmap to Reopening is expected as a guide to recovery for the County, it must follow the state orders in place. Until the state can build immunity, actions will be aligned to achieve the following goals: • Ensure our ability to care for the sick within our hospitals; • Prevent infection in people who are at high risk for severe disease; • Build the capacity to protect the health and well-being of the public; and • Reduce social, emotional and economic
disruptions California presented six indicators for modifying the stay-at-home order: • The ability to monitor and protect our communities through testing, contact tracing, isolating, and supporting those who are positive or exposed; • The ability to prevent infection in people who are at risk for more severe COVID19; • The ability of the hospital and health systems to handle surges; • The ability to develop therapeutics to meet the demand; • The ability for businesses, schools, and child care facilities to support physical distancing; and • The ability to determine when to reinstitute certain measures, such as the stay-athome orders, if necessary. With respect to recovery, County Health officials will continue to monitor local cases of COVID-19, and satisfy the concerns of the community in the face of a jump of 29 cases over three days. The number reflects the largest increase since testing began, but with only two of the 29 needing hospitalization, County Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein assured the public that she was not concerned by the number, and that in fact more positive test are to be expected as testing processes have been improved. “We are watching the case count closely,” Borenstein said. “This may seem like a stark contrast to what I communicated just two days about that we had a long time of very low numbers.” With more than 30 years experience working with infectious disease, she brings a steadying gait to the forward progress for the county. With clamoring on both sides of the arguments of reopening, she forges ahead on a plan to maintain local hospital and healthcare capacity to serve the community in case
of surges. “We are not going to be overly reactive, over one day, two days or three days of relatively small numbers,” Borenstein said. “We are still watching these trends, closely. There are a number of factors that goes into what we are seeing. Particularly, we want to note that we have low numbers in our hospitals.” The County continues to investigate every case of COVID-19 with detailed investigations and issue quarantine orders. Borenstein said that action will be a “hallmark to our management of this disease.” “This will continue to spread in our community, we expect that,” Borenstein said. “We anticipate we will see some higher numbers, but is absolutely critical that we dig deeper into the meaning of these numbers of new cases.”
all had a known already positive close contact. We are not seeing more spread in new areas unknown to us.” Three of the new cases are children under 18, and Borenstein said that is not concerning as they are known to have contracted the disease from a family member with a known case. “These new cases are not overly worrisome, but they are of note,” Borenstein said. “We must continue our diligence. [Reopening] will be done slowly, cautiously, and with all recommendations put in place to tamp down on the spread. We are continuing to move forward on a balanced approach to a phased reopening, sector by sector, in this community.” As reopening takes shape, Borenstein reminded the community that an increase in new cases is expected, and that each will follow with an investigation and
We are continuing to move forward on a balanced approach to a phased reopening, sector by sector, in this community. ~ Dr. Penny Borenstein, SLO County Health Officer With 14 new positive tests overnight, and 29 in three days, the numbers are high for SLO County, but low compared to neighboring counties. With low numbers, the County is able to thoroughly investigate each case to determine the source and spread. “The number doesn’t make us particularly happy, but the situation is reassuring,” Borenstein said. “All but one — who we haven’t had communication with yet — is a person-to-person spread. They
contact tracing. In regards to the spike in cases in Paso Robles, and the North County in general, Borenstein again assuaged concerns. “I still think in general terms, we have really low numbers, per capita, we don’t come close to our surrounding counties,” Borenstein said. “I really don’t put a lot of stock in the fact that [Paso Robles] has 15 or so more cases. The numbers we see are not overly concerning and do not impact our plans.”
Paso Robles Continued Rise in Cases ‘Not Overly Concerning’ Phased reopening continues despite moderate case rise By NICHOLAS MATTSON S A N LU I S O B I S P O COUNTY — On Friday, 14 new cases of COVID-19 were reported by the County, and eight of those cases were Paso Robles, with another three in Atascadero. North SLO County continues to lead new cases, but overall numbers of county cases, and a spike in North SLO County cases have not presented a concern to local health officials who plan a presentation of reopening plans this week. While 100 percent of new cases in SLO County are allocated to the Paso Robles population, three cases of COVID-19 in Paso Robles represents a 0.01 percent of the total City population, and zero deaths related to COVID19. Overall, Paso Robles has accounted for 54 of the county’s 169 cases, roughly 30 percent. However, the percentage of positive tests in Paso Robles accounts for 0.18 percent of the total population of the city residents. One in 555 Paso Robles residents have tested positive, which is the highest per capita in the county. Data currently lacks in providing estimates of actual number of SLO County residents who may have contracted COVID-19 and shown moderate symptoms or none at all. SLO County Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein has continually categorized the levels of positive tests in SLO County as a low concern as the County moves toward reopening of industry and economy in sectored phases. “I still think in general terms, we have really low numbers, per capita, we don’t come close to our surrounding counties,” Borenstein said at the County briefing on Friday. “I really don’t put a lot of stock in the fact that [Paso Robles] has 15 or so more cases. The numbers we see are not overly concerning and do not impact our plans.” District 1 Supervisor John Peschong told The Paso Robles Press that the “Roadmap to Reopening” is expected to be publicly presented on Wednesday or Friday this week. California Governor Gavin Newsom released a statement today that California is working with Oregon, Washington, Colorado and Nevada on a Western States reopening plan. Warm weather over the weekend invited thousands of Californians to the beaches, inc luding Avila Beac h, while distancing and other hygiene-related behaviors are continually encouraged from local and state leaders as the massive population of California begins to emerge from COVI D-19 hibernation. Reports from beach-related officials and lifeguards were that health and safety measures were widely observed and few beachgoers needed additional attention. San Luis Obispo County is scheduled to provide more information today during the briefing from the Joint Information Center, which streams live from the County health department Facebook page.

Not to fault anyone specifically (again, we have never gone through anything like this before) but not thought through completely.

Virus May Bring a Viable Housing Solution
3.5 million new dwelling units before the end of 2025 to slake California’s thirst for housing. That would have been a pace of about 700,000 new units per year, roughly five times what was actually built in Newsom’s first full year as governor and far more units than there are financially qualified buyers. Yes, the state did have about 150,000 homeless as of January, but few of them can afford even so-called “affordable” housing.

Freedom Recognizes Necessity
Lee Perkins COMMENTARY
T
he US and the world are on “pause.” Few occasions in our lives come to such a suspension of daily life. Growing up in Western NY, my brother and I would watch the blizzard outside from our ranch picture window-no visibility, the radio announced, to our cheers, schools and businesses were closed and everyone was advised to stay off the roads. But we could still don our snowsuits and go out to play and usually the next day, we were back at school. I APPLAUD ALL OF YOU COVID19 WARRIORS WHO CONTINUE TO WORK FOR THE REST OF US—medical people, teachers, infrastructure people, grocers and mass transit. I mourn the 50,000 victims who have died. Let’s lower the flag to half mast. Innocent people like us are catching this virus, are quarantined or alone in hospitals with only staff to comfort them, hold their hand. Can you imag-
ine the loneliness of being without those you love at your bedside and vise versa. Then imagine the medical staff going to a hotel room or their car to sleep after their shift before the next 12 hour shift or risking shedding to their family at home. Before COVID-19, ER doctors maybe saw 20 deaths a year. On April 14, in NYC 3,778 persons died of COVID-19 among 62 hospitals. You do the math. “It was very hard to hear someone thank you for standing there and watching her husband die,” said a physician in Queens Hospital, “I felt very helpless.” Medical people are begging us to stay home and wait for no new cases for two week--the magic numbers. It is surreal as weeks pass, we are ‘staying at home,’ still on “pause.” The number of COVID19 continues to tick up in SLO County at 165 with still very little testing or tracing. Many US governors have plans to facilitate testing/tracing/opening, but they need Federal funding for the chemicals and swabs. Technology has allowed us to stay in touch with our loved ones. Parents around the world have converted to home schooling, most with no training. I wondered how children perceive these new constrains. My oldest granddaughter, living in Louisiana, loves doing her school packets at home— but exasperated she still has to get up at 8 for her home school schedule. Her favorite things now are babysitting her sister, science study and making and decorating cup cakes. She wishes for a play date or sleep over.
Younger sister, 5, was adamant about “a lot of sick people outside, best not to go outside. I don’t want to get sick.” She said her sister is a “really good babysitter.” Hailey (12) lives outside Seattle and “would rather be in school—being at home takes time to get used to.” She “likes interacting with teachers and having less distractions but likes managing her own schoolwork.” She runs with her Dad, but she misses friends and soccer. “I want it over.” The first stimulus bill has aided families and small businesses but for small businesses, it was not distributed based on the most needy/eligible. It surprised me to find 47% of workers in the US are employed by “small businesses.” Why are big corporations, qualifying as “small businesses?,” getting bank access and monies. Chase received 66,000 applications the first 3 minutes after the 1st stimulus passed and as of April 20 processed 20,000. “Small Business” corporations had lawyers and bank connections to be first in line for aid. During Obama’s presidency, the national stockpile for disease supply was seriously depleted as the administration addressed multiple crises over eight years— hurricanes: Alex, Irene, Isaac and Sandy; flooding in 2010 in North Dakota, 2014 and outbreaks of the Ebola and the Zika virus. The current administration’s decision to disband (2018) the Pandemic Response Team set up by Obama retarded the COVID-19 response. In 2017, Obama warned the new
housing problem: Sell off a lot of that office space as apartments and condominiums. To a large extent, the suddenly vacant square footage sits in existing buildings. Converting several floors of many, many buildings into living units would not require new construction, nor would it seriously change the nature of any neighborhood. That was the chief objection of cities and neighborhoods to SB 50, the nearly-successful effort by Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco to force building of high rise living units near transit stops and the busiest bus routes in almost every California city. Putting new apartments and condos into existing office space solves those issues, while also placing a large share of the new residents near transit stops and job centers, just as Wiener wanted. Sure, the conversions would require a lot of plumbing, electric and drywall work, but new laws signed by Newsom would grease the path to the needed building permits and myriad new jobs would appear just when they are most needed. Meanwhile, many building owners would get their money out pretty soon, plenty of affordable new housing could quickly appear and the housing shortage could end. That’s a very expensive solution to the housing crisis, in terms of human suffering and lives lost. But at least it offers a silver lining for an ultra-tragic pandemic.
administration it could face shortages in the national stockpile and to replenish for future epidemics the science community said were inevitable. In 2019, the World Threat Assessment from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence stated, “We assess the US and the world will remain vulnerable to the next large scale outbreak of a contagious disease that could lead to massive rates of death and disability, severely affect the world economy, strain international resources, and increase calls on the US for support,” The US didn’t have a plan in place for this pandemic, in spite of scientific warnings for decades. Most countries lagged in their response—admit it. Even with this gigantic crisis, Washington leadership stubbornly delays and hangs-back when lives are at stake. The Defense Production Act of 1950, at Trump’s disposal, gives the administration more control during emergencies to direct industrial production. The Federal Emergency Management Agency describes the act as “the primary source of presidential authorities to expedite and expand the supply of resources and to direct private businesses to produce crucial items in a national emergency.” Trump, in spite of continuous pressure from governors, has resisted this tool for testing, etc. We need open communication town/city to state to DC and around the world to defeat this virus. I quote Churchill, “This is [just] the end of the beginning.”

Lee Pitts
S
COLUMNIST
tep right up to witness the greatest show on earth. We are working the cows at the Pitts’ place and believe me, it’s a real three ring circus. Circus day is different than any other and you can feel the excitement in the air. There are clowns everywhere decked out in gaily colored cowboy hats, baggy pants, red noses, ropes and canes. Actually they are the town’s people, the bearded lady, the tattooed man and other assorted freaks of nature who have come from far and wide to help preg check the cows. Of course, I am the ringmaster in charge of making sure the performance lives up to its billing. In ring number one the trick rider is attempting to get the cows
into the arena. As he rides around the ring the daring rider suddenly slides under his horse and is riding between the horse’s thundering legs. Actually someone loosened the cinch on his saddle and didn’t tighten it up before the trick rider got back on board. The neighbor kids especially enjoyed the antics of the clown on the horse from their ringside seats and after the trick rider regained consciousness he accused the little buggers of being the ones who loosened the cinch in the first place. In ring number two the wild animal tamer is attempting to get the wild animals in the lead-up chute with nothing more than a paddle with rocks in it. It is truly a death defying act as several of the cows attempt to put the head of the wild animal tamer in their mouth. As he cracks his whip one of the wild cows charges, and the wild animal tamer then transforms himself into a “The Great Human Rubber Man,” sliding between the narrow gap separating the boards
of the corral. In the third ring is the cattle working chute where the worlds’ tallest dwarf who 5’ 2’ is attempting to work the headgate while the strongest man in the world is filling syringes. As the ringmaster (me) paces up and down the chute making sure everything is being done correctly he notices that the injectable wormer is being dipped on the backs of the wild cows instead of in their mouths. Oh well, you know the type of low-lifes that a circus attracts. It is very hard to get good help that will come to the Pitts’ place more than once to work cattle. Believe me, no one ever wants to run away and join this circus and spend the rest of their lives working for peanuts. Just then the fat lady steps right on top of the ringmaster’s foot causing me to scream in pain. “Oh, did I step on your foot?” the fat lady asks. “It must have been you. I don’t see any elephants,” I reply.
The real show-stopper occurs when the world’s tallest dwarf accidentally lets a cow through the headgate and the wild cow chases my contortionist wife across all three rings of the circus. Just in the nick of time she jumps to the top rail and performs a high wire act, tip-toeing high above the beast without a net. The neighbor kids once again roar their appreciation for the greatest show on earth. After the final beast is tamed it is time to feed the performers before they pack their bags and leave. I serve my best chili beans and the fire eaters douse the flames with barrels of expensive foreign beer. Then darkness signals the end of another successful circus day. All the clowns in this traveling menagerie gather up their belongings, load up their tired steeds and head on down the road in search of their next free meal and the greatest show on earth. Don’t laugh, this show will no doubt be coming to your town some day soon.

Once Bud and Beth moved their family to Atascadero, California in 1977, they decided this would be their forever home.

CRIME
ATASCADERO FATTE’S OWNER ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY OF PASO LOCATION Darryl Allan apprehended at the In-and-Out in Atascadero with gun and ammo STAFF REPORT
F
ortune continues a downward trend, of his own making according to all reports, for Atascadero Fatte’s Pizza owner Darryl Allan. After months of crisis at his own location, where his claims of nefarious attacks by hackers and organized criminals were blamed for the shutdown of his longtime pizza restaurant on El Camino Real, he was arrested last night for the armed robbery of the Paso Robles Fatte’s Pizza location. In February, Allan shut his doors at the Atascadero Fatte’s location claiming to have been the victim of malfeasance. On April 16, Allen had contacted The Atascadero News under the alias “Rich Smitherine,” asking for coverage of more crimes he alleged, including claims he was stabbed several times and was financially mistreated by Bank of America after his accounts were allegedly hacked. At about 10:17 p.m., on Sunday, two
employees were closing shop at Fatte’s Pizza in Paso Robles, when a masked gunman entered the business. He approached the counter and displayed a silver pistol with an attached suppressor, wrapped in black tape. The gunman demanded the registers to be emptied. After clearing the registers, the robber made the two employees turn off all the lights and demanded them to head to the rear of the store. The suspect then tossed two glow sticks into the business, telling the employees they could use the glow sticks for light. Employees fled out a back door to see a white Toyota Tundra speeding away from the business, headed westbound on Niblick. The Paso Robles Police Department immediately began checking the area and a deputy with the SLO Sheriff ’s Department found a truck matching the description pulling into In-N-Out in Atascadero. The truck was stopped and found to be occupied by the owner of the
Atascadero Fatte’s Pizza, Darryl Allan. Allan was formerly involved with the Paso Robles Fatte’s Pizza location, but was not affiliated with that location at the time of the incident. Allan was found to have a pocket full of .22 ammunition. Inside the truck we found a loaded silver .22 caliber pistol with an obliterated serial number, a black-taped suppressor, glow sticks, a large amount of cash, drugs, drug paraphernalia, metal knuckles, and several keys to off road vehicles. Allan was arrested for the following charges: 211 PC – robbery, 207 PC – kidnapping, 25800 – carrying a loaded gun Darryl Allan (above) was found with with the intent to commit a felony, 25850(a) the possessions below at the time of his arrest. Contributed photos PC – carrying a loaded gun inside a vehicle, 33410 PC – possession of a silencer, 23900 PC – removing serial number from firearm, 25300(a) PC – carrying a firearm while masked to hide identity, 11370.1 H&S – possession of controlled substance while armed, and 21810 – possession of metal knuckles.

She said, if needed, the school district will look for savings for the upcoming school years in everything from cutting travel budgets to vacuuming classrooms only once per week. “These are times we have been through before,” “and was hoping we would never have to go through again, but we know it is doable.” AUSD Superintendent Tom Butler expressed his faith in Martin’s experience as the district navigates the pending uncertainty.

ESSENTIAL HEROES CONTINUED FROM A1
while spearheading the support services during this economic health crisis. “As a community, we must remain persistent and engaged. It is up to us to continue to care for our members who are more vulnerable than ever. Every day we witness the resiliency of people impacted by cancer, and we find our inspiration from them. We’ve received overwhelming support from our facilitators to continue bringing programs into our participant’s homes, and we look forward to returning to face-to-face connections as soon as it becomes safe to do so,” Shannon said in a statement to her Board of Directors last Wednesday. The CSCCC continues to evaluate and monitor COVID-19 in relation to their fundraising efforts. Shannon has been working closely with CSC Headquarters and other resources to find the delicate balance in finances and fundraising through a crisis. “As you all have heard me say before, cancer doesn’t take time off. Now more than ever, the
whole world can begin to understand, in a profound way, the challenges that social isolation brings, this is cancer every day!” Shannon wrote. Fundraising efforts for all non-profits this year will be challenging due to the economic state. CSCCC has re-scheduled the Tour of Paso Bike Ride for June 27, in hopes they can move forward by then. Along with their fifth Annual Gala, Hope, Harvest, and Healing, which is currently scheduled for August 22. These two, along with their other signature fundraising events, allow for the essential services to remain available for all the patients, families, and caregivers. All donations stay local and help local cancer patients on the central coast. Shannon, regardless of the times, remains hopeful, optimistic, and diligent. “Our doors remain open, virtually at the moment, thanks to you and the kindness of so many,” she said. To contact Shannon to see how you can help or donate directly to the Cancer Support Community Central Coast, visit their web site at cscslo.org.
