North County Restaurants Receive Warning From State Alcohol Beverage Control Local restaurants struggle with uncertainty and adjusting to new rules to stay in business
City Council Adopts Emergency Ordinance, Comprehensive Financial Strategy By CONNOR ALLEN connor@atascaderonews.com ATASCADERO — The Atascadero City Council came together on Tuesday night to review and file the City of Atascadero’s Comprehensive Financial Strategy and adopt an emergency ordinance affirming the orders of the State of California, County Emergency Services Director and County Public Health Office. Tuesday’s meeting began with a proclamation presented to R.I.S.E. recognizing February as teen dating violence awareness month. Councilwoman Susan Funk had the honor of reading the declaration. “Teen dating violence awareness month calls attention to the fact that teen dating violence is widespread and impacts every young person in San Luis Obispo County,” Funk read. “And whereas according to the C.D.C., one in 11 female teens and one in 15 male teens reported experiencing physical violence in the last year.” Janae Sargent of R.I.S.E. joined the zoom meeting to accept the proclamation. Following the presentation, the Council recognized the City’s Planning Commission’s outgoing members. Five members were leaving the Planning Commission. Duane Anderson, Michael Shaw, Jan Wolff and Tom Zirk received kind words and an award. Recently appointed City Council Member Mark Dariz has also left the Planning Commission but did not receive a fancy gift. City Manager Rachelle Rickard joined the zoom next to give CONTINUED ON PAGE A15
COUNTY
Supervisors Address Concerns with Homelessness and Financial Constraints Board voted to authorize initiating litigation against Sprouse Communications By MELISSA MATTSON melissa@atascaderonews.com
Again, these restrictions included dining outside, even if customers were dining outside with take-out orders. Restaurant owners have been handling COVID restrictions in their separate ways. They comply with the restrictions as they are able to continue to keep their business open. Many owners have allowed customers to eat their take-out orders on their patios, and some have allowed regular outdoor dining in an effort to keep their businesses alive. But after receiving calls from ABC, restaurant owners with liquor licenses were warned their licenses could be in jeopardy if custom-
SAN LUIS COUNTY — The Board of Supervisors met for a regularly scheduled meeting at 9 a.m. on Feb. 9. The meeting began with the consent agenda, which was passed by the Board with a 5-0 vote. Next, Penny Borenstein, the Public Health Director, spoke on agenda item 19, the COVID19 update. While the county has seen an increase in the last three months, she states, “we are definitely moving in the right direction,” with the positivity rate dropping from the all-time high of 11.1 percent in January to 5.9 percent last week. Borenstein ended her report with an update on the state’s position on religious services in terms of COVID-19 regulations. This comes directly after the Supreme Court gave a partial win to churches fighting California’s limits on indoor worship services. Borenstein stated that while formerly banned, religious entities are now permitted to hold indoor services with 25 percent capacity in the purple and red tier and 50 percent when counties move to orange or yellow. The one remaining restriction being that singing and chanting is still prohibited due

By CAMILLE DeVAUL camille@atascaderonews.com NORTH COUNTY — It is probably safe to say that restaurant owners are exhausted from the constant pivoting they have had to do to comply with COVID restrictions almost across the board. On Dec. 3, California announced a regional stay at home order which included San Luis Obispo County under the Southern California region. For restaurants, this meant they could be open for take-out or pick-up only. In December of 2020, many restaurant owners in North County received a violation
letter from the State Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) Department. In Templeton, 15 Degree C Wine Shop & Bar and Colony Market and Deli in Atascadero are two of many North County restaurants that received a warning from the ABC. Colony Market received a violation letter in December for having customers dining outside. 15 Degree C was notified later over the phone they had violations for customers dining inside or outside the restaurant. During the week of Jan. 22, these restaurants’ owners received a call from ABC warning that they will be enforcing restrictions made by the State Government during the stay at home order.
CONSTRUCTION
AHS Finishes Renovations, New Science and Shop Buildings By CONNOR ALLEN connor@atascaderonews.com ATASCADERO — While it is still unclear when exactly students will be able to return to campus at Atascadero High School, one thing that is for certain is they will have some brand new state of the art facilities to occupy when they do. Over the past few years, and indeed while the campus has sat mostly empty with students forced into distance learning in 2020, AUSD has been working to modernize and renovate the campus and has also built the first piece of new construction in over 20 years. Last week, the Atascadero News took a tour of the new AHS facilities to get a closer look
VALENTINE’S DAY
at what new and exciting possibilities are on the horizon. AUSD began construction on the first piece of new construction in April of 2018 and has now turned the former parking lot into a new science department with 42 student lab stations. The facility was completed in 2019 and was occupied for a short time in January of 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic. The new science buildings provide enough space in the eight classrooms to allow students to have both a desk and a lab station to offer more hands-on learning. “In lab science classes, the ability to be at your desk and then move over to your lab station instead of having to clear your desk every time, it just makes the instruction so effective,” AHS
SUPER BOWL LV
Principal Dan Andrus said. “Next-generation science standards really focus on hands-on project-based lab learning. What we are seeing in science instruction is an increase in the amount of time students spend doing labs and analyzing those labs. That is why this set up facilitates that type of instruction. We are no longer just sitting in science and listening. We are moving from learning stations to lab stations; it’s a big deal to increase the space if at the same time we ask our science teachers to increase the amount of hands-on practical learning students are doing.” The new science buildings also come with shed style roofing, allowing the rooms to be filled with natural light.

PASO ROBLES RECREATION SERVICES
New Art Classes Offered for Children at Centennial Park
STAFF REPORT PASO ROBLES — Paso Robles Recreation Services will partner with local art instructor Mindy Dierks to present a new series of art classes at Centennial Park for children ages five through eight. Art Park: Let’s Begin with Drawing is a six-week class designed to help students discover that basic shapes are in everything they see. The class will build on this concept with weekly lessons focusing on new skills, including how to add backgrounds, use organic shapes, create contour lines, three-dimensional drawing techniques, and more. Students will complete several projects, including a self-portrait and a cartoon style rabbit. Classes take place in the Centennial Park courtyard from 3:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. on Mondays, Feb. 22 through Mar. 29 for children ages five and six and Tuesdays, Feb. 23 through Mar. 30 for ages seven and eight.
Dierks has taught art classes to local children for the past decade for many local nonprofits and the Paso Robles School District’s art docent program. “Children learn so much from the process of creating art,” says Dierks. “This class will help inspire children to create while giving them confidence to learn new techniques. By the end of this class, parents will notice a difference in their child’s ability to put ideas and shapes together for a complete piece of art.” Advance registration is strongly encouraged as each class is limited to twelve participants. Registration is available through Saturday, Feb. 20 at prcity.com/recreationonline by searching “Art Park.” The registration fee is $100 per child and includes all of the supplies needed for the class. Need-based scholarships are available through Paso Robles Recreation Services, with more information available under the “Activities & Classes” section at prcity.com/recreation. This class follows all current state and local safety guidelines for COVID-19. For details about Art Park classes, scholarships, and other class offerings, call (805)237-3988, email recservices@prcity.com, or visit the Recreation Services home page.

High School Athletics Are Slowly Returning By CONNOR ALLEN NORTH COUNTY — On Jan. 26, Governor Gavin Newsom lifted the regional stay-at-home orders, which has provided an opportunity for a few high school sports to return to action following the CIF Central Section’s guidelines. CIF has continued to update its guidelines as the pandemic has continued and currently allows for cross country, golf, swimming, tennis, and track and field to take place while a county is still in the purple tier. North County high schools have begun scheduling contests for these sports and are expected to start playing on or around Feb. 15. CIF rules still mandate student-athletes must have ten days of practice in a given sport before a competition can occur. While the return on some sports brings some hope of normalcy, those wishing to see some of the more popular team sports like football, soccer and basketball should not hold their breath.
The return of sports in the purple tier leaves the door open just a crack for all sports to return this school year; in reality, everything would have to operate flawlessly to do so, and even then, it might only be for a few games. Should the county make it into the red tier, baseball, softball, and outdoor cheerleading will return. If SLO County reaches the orange tier, local high schools could start scheduling athletic competitions for football, soccer, water polo, and indoor volleyball. Fans of indoor hoops, indoor cheerleading, and wrestling will have the longest to wait as those sports cannot return until the county reaches the yellow tier. Currently, the purple tier indicates that the virus is widespread within the county and that there are more than seven cases per 100,000 residents, or more than 8 percent of the test results reported positive over a seven day period. The red tier indicates the “substantial” spread of the virus,
SAN LUIS OBISPO — KCBX management has announced that the public radio station’s major fundraiser, the Live Oak Music Festival, will not take place this June. It will instead offer a virtual event.
orange indicates “moderate,” and the yellow tier indicates “minimal.” Because the Ocean and Mountain leagues contain teams in both San Luis Obispo and Santa Barabara County, it is also important to note that while both counties are in the same tier, athletic contests between schools in both can occur. Atascadero High School (AHS) Athletic Director Sam DeRose announced at the Atascadero Unified School District (AUSD) Board of Trustees meeting last Tuesday night that the District has received over 400 athletic clearance packets even though no athletic competitions have been held this academic year. To allow for multiple sport athletes to maneuver this quickly changing landscape, AHS has implemented some changes. As the county moves tiers and new sports become available, student-athletes will switch to a different sport without penalty. Switching sports would require ten days away from the team or proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
The first sporting event in the North County in 2021 will take place this Friday at 3 p.m. as Atascadero High School welcomes Templeton High School into Memorial Stadium for a cross-country dual. At the time, AHS is limiting spectator attendance to the immediate family members of the athletes. In accordance with the Central Coast Athletic Association, AHS will not allow visiting spectators at this time and will revisit the issue in March. Swim will return on Feb. 27 when Atascadero makes the trip to the Municipal pool in Paso Robles to take on the Bearcats. AHS will stagger the return of sports sharing a facility. Girls Golf is expected to return on Mar. 8, while Boys Golf will return on Apr. 12. Girls tennis aims for Mar. 2 while the boys are looking at Mid April. The Atascadero News and Paso Robles Press have reached out to Templeton and Paso Robles Athletics for more information but have not yet received a response.

Salinas Valley Fair 2021 In-person Livestock Grading Show and Online Auction STAFF REPORT KING CITY — The Salinas Valley Fair is excited to announce an in-person Livestock Grading Show and Online Auction for the 2021 Fair. This year’s Online Auction will be held on May 8, followed by the Livestock Grading Shows on May 12 and 15. The Salinas Valley Fair’s Livestock Committee worked closely with the Monterey County Health Department to submit a plan for an in-person Livestock Grading Show that fits within the State Guidelines. “We are very pleased to have a plan in place that allows us to bring the community back together for our Livestock Grading Show while keeping the environment safe and comfortable,” says Margaret Noroian, President of the Salinas Valley Fair Board. The Livestock Grading Show health and safety protocols will require face coverings to be worn at all times. Leaders and advisors must be present and assist with enforcing all health and safety mandates. Handwashing stations will be available, social distancing is recommended, and the number of guests in the barns will be at a reduced capacity to keep all participants safe. The Salinas Valley Fair’s Online Auction will be held a week prior to the Livestock Grading Show to offer Custom Harvest options. Lots will be sold by the head, and add-ons will be accepted until Friday, May 21. “We encourage exhibitors to send out Buyer Letters and invite community members to participate,” mentions Noroian. Overland will be hosting the 2021 Online Auction. More details to come. Exhibitors must be entered online by Apr. 1 to participate.

“We share in your excitement to resume normal life without interruptions, and as a supporter of the Live Oak Music Festival, that includes camping and gathering with friends at Live Oak,” says KCBX General Manager Frank Lanzone. “Unfortunately, however, the situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains volatile, and it will likely remain volatile for at least the next four to six months.” The next in-person Live Oak Music Festival is now scheduled for Jun. 17 to 19, 2022. It was originally slated for late June at San Luis Obispo County’s beautiful El Chorro Regional Park on Highway 1 in the Chorro Valley but was canceled in 2020 and now,

The Charles Paddock Zoo is the only Zoo on the Central Coast. It is home to hundreds of species from all over the world, including red pandas, monkeys,
again, in 2021. KCBX will again transform Live Oak into a virtual festival, Live Oak on the Radio. Plans for another streaming and broadcast event to take place over the traditional Live Oak weekend, Jun. 18 to 20, are already in the works, with details coming soon on the festival website, liveoakfest. org, and on social media. The 2020 Live Oak On The Radio virtual event, while hastily planned, was well received by thousands of fans, with livestreamed local concerts and radio rebroadcasts of some favorite performances from the last 30+ years. Many people planned backyard camp-outs with their immediate family to replicate the “Live Oak vibe” while staying at home
during the pandemic. Donations poured in, and the station was able to recoup about half of what it usually earns at the live festival, to support public radio on the central coast. The festival is an important fundraiser for KCBX Central Coast Public Radio, an NPR affiliate that provides local, regional, and national news, information, and music for San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and S outhern Monterey Counties. Festival organizers thank the community for their continued support. Information about refunds and donation opportunities was emailed to those who purchased tickets previously available at liveoakfest.org.

LOCAL NEWS SUPER BOWL LV
Tom Brady Does it Again, Cementing His G.O.A.T. Status Love him or hate him, Brady is the greatest winner of all-time By CONNOR ALLEN
M
illions of Americans tuned in this past Sunday to eat wings, dip chips, sip beers and somehow watch Tom Brady capture his record-setting seventh Super Bowl title as the Tampa Buccaneers rolled to a 31-9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. While wins should not be counted as a quarterback statistic and the defense, especially the front seven, was the primary reason this team was able to pull off such a huge upset, you can do nothing but sit and admire Brady, who has officially cemented his status as the best winner in team sports history, or at least in American football. The ageless wonder (which sometimes makes me think, I won’t say it, but someone will) has been on the top of the football world since he earned his first Super Bowl in 2002 with the New England
Patriots. Since that time, Brady has won six more Super Bowl’s, and with his most recent one coming with a new team, he now has more Super Bowl rings than any other N.F.L. franchise. Not N.F.L. player; he has more rings by himself than any other team, of which there is 32 total. However, it’s not just the winning that is incredible but also the durability. Brady won his first Super Bowl at the age of 24 and is currently still playing in the league at the age of 43. Sunday marked just the third time in N.F.L. history that a quarterback over 40 has started in the big game. The other two instances? Also, Brady in 2017 and 2018. Brady has been so dominant over his 21-year career that he actually has a better statistical chance of making the Super Bowl at 47.6% (10 out of 21 seasons) than Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry, who is regarded as the best shooter of all time, does at making a 3-point shot at 43.4%. During his 21 year career, Brady has played at such a high level that he has put together two Hall of Fame careers in one.
From 2001-2011, Brady won three rings, appeared in five Super Bowls, won two league M.V.P.’s, and threw for 300 touchdowns with a record of 140-42. From 2012 through the 2021 season, Brady has four rings in five appearances, another league M.V.P., and 281 touchdown passes with a record of 124-39. Now, it would be disingenuous to point out all the accolades without at least acknowledging that Brady has had some help along the way from the officials, the best coach of all time, and playing in an organization completely fine with cheating (hello Spygate) no matter how many times they get caught. Which title was the most important to his legacy will ignite passionate, drunken arguments in many a sports bar for the rest of time, but if you ask me, it very well could have been the one he brought home on Sunday. Brady was already a made man and a first-ballot Hall of Famer before the victory on Sunday, but this final win was the final step in cementing his legacy. Coming into Sunday, it seemed Chiefs
quarterback Patrick Mahomes was coming for all of Brady’s stuff. In 2018, Mahomes began his career as the starting quarterback for the Chiefs and led them to the A.F.C. Championship game while also picking up his first NFL MVP award in a historic record-setting season before eventually losing to Brady. In 2019, the Chiefs rolled to a Super Bowl victory and made it back this year, only losing two regular-season games. If Mahomes were to beat Brady on Sunday, he would have had two rings in his first three years with no end in sight. However, with Brady’s victory, he has now beaten Mahomes twice in playoffs and could very well retire before ever facing him again. As everyone knows from experiences with Michael Jordan fanatics, no matter how much better someone’s stats may be, the only thing meatheads can wrap their brains around is rings and head-tohead victories, even in the biggest team sport. Once Brady retires, Mahomes will be left chasing something he can’t catch. He will always be 0-2 against Tom Terrific,

which might be enough to give him the edge even if the young gunslinger manages to tie his record seven rings someday in the future. Love him or hate him, Tom Brady is the greatest winner of all time.

Cunningham and Bipartisan Coalition of Legislators Ask Governor to #LetThemPlay
AUSD Board of Trustees Name Facility, Receive Budget Updates
STAFF REPORT SACRAMENTO — On Jan. 21, Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) announced that he and a bipartisan coalition of legislators sent the Governor a letter asking that he allow youth sports to resume. “Having coached dozens of youth sports teams, I understand how important organized sports are for many of our kids,” said Cunningham. “I am proud to support the #LetThemPlay campaign and was glad to sign this letter with 32 of my legislative colleagues across the political spectrum. We can safely get our kids back onto the field – it’s time for the Governor to allow youth sports to resume.” California is one of the few states that has not moved to allow organized youth sports to resume. Cunningham, a father of four youth athletes and a youth sports coach, is also coauthoring a #LetThemPlay house resolution.
By CONNOR ALLEN ATASCADERO — The Atascadero Unified School District (AUSD) Board of Trustees met on Tuesday, Feb. 2, for a meeting that contained both the naming of a new facility and information regarding Atascadero Unified School District’s budget. The meeting also covered the initial bargaining proposals between AUSD and the Atascadero District Teachers Association (ADTA). Superintendent Tom Butler used his
report to explain some recent developments in the District’s ability to return to in-person instruction per the new guidelines laid out by the State and San Luis Obispo County Department of Health. SLO County is currently in the purple tier; however, if the county makes it into the red tier and is certified, schools can open for in-person instruction after five days. Previously, it was two weeks after being certified before a school district could open. The next item on the agenda for Tuesday night was the new Black Box Theater’s naming, which was recently finished along with several other construction projects on the Atascadero High School (AHS) campus. The citizens’ advisory committee and the Board of Trustees were in unanimous agreement to name the theater after Mr. Stu Stoddard, who served the District for 29 years before retiring in
2018. The theater’s name will be “Stu’s Studio: The Stoddard Center for the Arts.” After a round of kind words and old stories from the Board, Stoddard was given the floor and took the viewers on a delightful, well-articulated journey down the path of the high school facilities on the hill. “I am admittedly humbled to share the identity with such a structure or to be tied to the education that will most assuredly continue within its walls,” Stoddard said. “Knowledge is in every country the surest basis for public happiness, that was George Washington.” Following Stoddard’s prepared words, Assistant Superintendent Jackie Martin joined the Zoom to give information on the District’s budget based on the Governors January 2021 State Budget Proposal. The theme of the Governor’s budget is recovery and helping open
schools as the Country makes its way into year two of living under lockdown. Martian explained that as of now, the District is good but is still worrisome of 2022-2023 as the money is based on average daily attendance (ADA), and the District’s enrollment has continued to drop. The District has been funded by the 2019-20 ADA for the past two years and is worried about a substantial decrease in 2022 if the funding is based on that year, but noted this is not a situation unique to Atascadero and that the State is aware of the problem. In closing, the Board of Trustees and ADTA exchanged their initial bargaining proposals for 2020-2021, which will begin the negotiations’ formal process and be addressed further in future Board meetings.

Water Resource Recovery Facility Shows Resiliency in Recent Storms STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — Although the Central Coast experienced an intense storm system last month, officials from the City of San Luis Obispo stated that their proactive planning allowed for minimal disruptions to regular services. This was exemplified by the measures taken by the City’s Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF), where a comprehensive upgrade to the facility—called SLO Water Plus—is currently underway while also maintaining full operational capacity. According to city reports, the SLO Water Plus is the city’s largest capital investment to date, totaling approximately $111 million in construction costs. Upon the project’s completion in 2024, the upgrades and enhancements will provide significant long-term
benefits to water quality and the environment. This will be accomplished by the facility’s ability to recover resources traditionally classified as waste, improve the facility’s efficiency, and position the City to reduce its dependency on reservoir and groundwater supplies. While part of the SLO Water Plus project is to make the facility more resilient to natural disasters, the recent rains put the WRRF’s current plans for operating during a severe storm event while under significant operational constraints related to the construction of the new treatment plant, to the test. Physical elements of the risk mitigation strategy included provisions for emergency power, emergency pumping, increased chemical performance, system enhancements, as well as numerous operational control procedures and training. Concentrated and meticulous planning efforts
to reduce operational risk began nearly a year ago. It included close collaboration and coordination with various City departments, including Utilities, Public Works, Finance, and City Administration/IT departments. These teams worked closely together to collaborate on several diverse ideas and implement best practices for readying the facility to face worstcase scenarios. “We purposely tried to ‘poke ‘holes’ in the plans along the way so we could identify areas of weakness and make appropriate changes,” said Chris Lehman, WRRF Supervisor. “We even worked with our design engineers to put together a model that tested our scenarios in a simulation that was calibrated for an event worse than the storm that we saw last week. Had we not taken planning efforts so seriously, we could have faced some serious issues last week at the facility.”
HIGHWAY 1
Despite being one of the most significant storms in recent years, these planning efforts, construction, and upgrades to the facility continued without issue. In addition, the facility maintained the highest possible effluent quality, did not experience any spills despite an increase in storm flows, and the community experienced no disruption to its water and wastewater treatment service. While our community will face additional storms in the future, it is expected that the WRRF will handle those with similar results. For more information about the SLO Water Plus project, please visit slowrrfproject.org. Community members can also stay up to date on the project’s progress and milestones by signing up to receive project alerts.

Closures to Shorten as Intensive Assessment Efforts at Rat Creek STAFF REPORT MONTEREY COUNTY — The Department of Transportation (DOT) reported on Friday, Feb. 5, that steady progress by the Caltrans crews on both sides of Rat Creek to clear plugged culverts, remove standing water and debris, clear rockfall, and repair roads, the northern and southern limits of the closure on Highway 1 on the Big Sur coast are scheduled to change. As of 6 pm Friday, the northern end of the Highway 1 closure on the Big Sur coast will move south from Post Mile 34.1 to PM 32.6 just south of Esalen Institute. This will permit full access to the last businesses on the coast before reaching Rat Creek. Crews will be working throughout the weekend behind this new closure limit to fortify a turnaround point at Lime Creek at PM 32.1 which is expected to be in operation by early next week. Located one mile above Rat Creek, the Lime Creek turnaround is planned to be the landmark limit for public travel south on Highway 1 while repairs are being made at Rat Creek. The southern closure on Highway 1 will be moved north at 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 8, from its current location at Willow Creek Rd. at PM 11.1 to PM 16.0 just north of Pacific Valley. In
approximately two weeks, this southern closure is expected to move north up the coast again to the Big Creek Vista Point at PM 27.3, where a turnaround is being constructed. There is still much repair work to be done on Highway 1 between Rat Creek and Big Creek Vista Point. This stretch of road will continue to be a high priority for crews and contractors. This section of road contains multiple locations of plugged culverts which were overwhelmed by debris flows. Rockfall still needs to be cleared behind the netting at Cow Cliffs, and stabilization and repair of sections of roadway must be accomplished before this section can be opened to the public. Intensive assessment continues at the Rat Creek site. Surveys by land and air have provided necessary data to describe the topographical conditions now in place after the immense debris flow. Geotechnical and environmental studies also continue. Crews have also begun to edge out into the debris flow basin itself to start to remove woody debris. Crews are working at the site seven days a week. There is no current estimate of a timeline for when this assessment phase will be completed. Ongoing efforts to continue unplug-
ging culverts and removing debris within the newly reopened segments of Highway 1 will continue with flagging operations. Travelers are advised to use caution and may find short delays. This update comes a week after Governor Gavin Newsom issued an emergency proclamation for Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties due to the winter storms that caused mud and debris flow, forced the evacuation of thousands of residents, and damaged critical infrastructure, including washing out a portion of Highway 1. The emergency proclamation directs Caltrans to formally request immediate assistance through the Federal Highway Administration’s Emergency Relief Program and the Office of Emergency Services to provide assistance to local governments. The full text of today’s proclamation can be found here at gov.ca.gov/ wp-content/uploads/2021/01/1.29.21January-Winter-Storms-SOE-.pdf Caltrans reminds motorists to move over and slow down when driving through highway work zones.

LOCAL NEWS COVID-19 UPDATE
SLO County Reports 200 Deaths Since the Beginning of the Pandemic STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — The County of San Luis Obispo reported on Tuesday, Feb. 9, that 200 SLO County community members have died due to COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020. The county reports 118 deaths due to COVID-19 since the start of 2021. “Our deepest condolences go out to the families and friends who are grieving the loss of a loved one,” said Dr. Penny Borenstein, County Health Officer. “These are 200 individuals in our county who lost their lives from a preventable disease. I ask of you, as I always do, to not ease up on the gas pedal at this point. We have a vaccine, but supply is limited. Wear your mask, keep your distance, limit indoor social gatherings to your social bubble and help stop the COVID-19 deaths in our county.”
SLO County officials state that the vaccine has brought a sign of hope of ending the pandemic; however, they note that the virus is still spreading and affecting our community. Of the 200 people who have passed away, 102 were over the age of 85. Additionally, 74 deaths were ages 65 to 84. The focus remains on vaccinating the most vulnerable in the community first. Last week we reported that on Jan. 25, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) stated that people must continue to wear masks and social distance even if they had received two doses of the vaccine. In response, an individual asked, “if that is the case, and we don’t know enough about the effects of the vaccines, nor if it helps in contracting the virus, then why are people being urged to receive it if masks and social distancing are the only key in preventing the spread?” We asked SLO County Health
to weigh in on this question, and the response was, “Dr. Borenstein has generally deferred to the CDC and NIH as the premier entities researching and compiling national data on the effects of the vaccine as local public health departments do not have the resources to specialize in scientific research. Since this is a new vaccine and we are just now getting it administered to a significant number of individuals nationally, more information will be forthcoming from such national studies in the coming weeks and months. As new data comes to light indicating whether getting a vaccine prevents one from transmitting to others, we expect the CDC will provide new guidance on the need for other protective measures (continued mask-wearing, social distancing, etc.). In the meantime, while that data is gathered, we need to stay the course. It’s not forever, just while the data is being gathered and studied.”
To date, Public Health has identified 18,684 positive cases across SLO County, 17,359 recovered, and 1205 active cases. Currently, 33 are in the hospital being treated for COVID-19, with 6 of those individuals being treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). North SLO County is reported to have 3693 total cases in Paso Robles, 1738 in Atascadero, 205 Atascadero State Hospital, 458 in San Miguel, 557 in Templeton, 133 in Shandon, 122 in Santa Margarita, and 80 reported cases in Creston. According to County health officials, 22 additional community members are likely to have died from COVID-19, but local health officials are currently waiting for death certificates to confirm whether COVID-19 in fact caused those deaths. In recent news, it was reported that “new highly transmissive COVID-19 strains” are spreading
throughout the U.S., and a possible need for two or more masks may be helpful. When asking the County Health for their take on this subject, Michelle Shoresman replied, “When I’ve asked about this topic recently, Dr. Borenstein has recommended that I direct people to guidance from San Francisco Public Health. It emphasizes that it is most important to properly and consistently wear a mask that fits and is made of fabric that one can breathe through without difficulty. Beyond that (again, if done properly), wearing two masks can provide extra protection. In general, she agrees with the guidance provided here: sfdph.org/ dph/files/ig/FAQ-double-masking.pdf. SLO County Health holds live press briefings every Wednesday at 3:15 p.m. Video recordings of the press briefings are English, and Spanish subtitles are available on YouTube.

County Supervisors Peschong, Arnold, and Calwise Business Owner Bergh Address ABC Warnings in Letter to Gov. Newsom According to the California Restaurant Association, an estimated 30 percent of California’s restaurants are at risk of closing permanently BY CAMILLE DEVAUL SAN LUIS OBISPO — San Luis Obispo County Supervisors John Peschong, District One, and Debbie Arnold, District Five, signed a letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom on Feb. 3. The letter addressed official warnings from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) issued to local restaurants. During the week of Jan. 22, 2021, several businesses owners in San Luis Obispo County received a call from ABC warning that they will be enforcing restrictions made by the State Government during the stay at home order. Enforcement from the ABC means a suspension of liquor licenses. Something owners who have these licenses cannot afford to lose. Arnold said, “It is salt in the wound--so many of them are struggling and trying to do the best they can and trying to meet all the protocols and still being visited.”
Rather than following through with a lawsuit against the California Governor or the State, Peschong and Arnold worked with Calwise Spirits Company owner, Aaron Bergh, to write a letter directly to California Governor Gavin Newsom. Peschong said of Bergh, “He has a lot of great insight into what’s going on in the small business communities. Certainly the distilleries, the wineries, the breweries and bars, and the restaurants. He’s very tuned in to the trials and tribulations that are going on in our community with the Alcoholic Beverage Control and these different small businesses.” When supervisors reached out and asked what they could do to help, it made Bergh and other business owners feel heard. “It made me feel very fortunate that I chose this county to live in and run my business in,” said Bergh. Peschong, Arnold, and Bergh hoped the letter would resonate, have some meaning and receive some recognition from the Governor. “I’d like to see the state entrust our county government to do what’s best for their community and do what’s for their businesses and their residents,” said Bergh. According to Peschong, the county has sent several letters to the Governor, all still waiting for a response. As County Supervisors Peschong and

Winifred Pifer Campus Closes Due to COVID-19 Outbreak By CAMILLE DeVAUL PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles Joint Unified School District closed Winifred Pifer’s campus today out of an abundance of caution related to a rise in COVID19 cases. Starting Feb. 5, all educational programs at the school will transition to distance learning until Feb. 16. Deputy Superintendent, Jennifer Gaviola, stated: “The school site is being thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. PRJUSD is committed to the health and wellness of our staff, students, and greater community. The school site will reopen for in-person classes on Feb. 16. Thank you in advance for your support in this matter.” Due to privacy laws, the district cannot provide any specific information. After consulting the San Luis Obispo County Department of Public Health, the district was advised to close the school for 14 days to prevent further transmission of the novel coronavirus. Winifred Pifer Elementary School teaches students from preschool through fifth grade and is expected to resume in-person classes on Feb. 16. For more information, contact the PRJUSD district office at (805)769-1000.
Arnold are concerned, our county could lose their small businesses, and once they are gone, we won’t get them back. The supervisors addressed this concept with supporting data in their letter: “According to the California Restaurant Association, an estimated 30 percent of California’s restaurants are at risk of closing permanently. Yelp data shows that 60 percent of businesses that were required to shut down are closing permanently. To take administrative action against licensees now will only further damage the industry and destroy the jobs of 1.4 million Californians.” “A lot of our small businesses and restaurants have spent a lot of money to comply, and then suddenly the game changes, and we’re doing it a different way. And those are the kinds of things that our smaller businesses cannot sustain,” said Arnold. Also addressed in the letter is the lack of evidence that restaurants are super-spreaders of the COVID-19 virus. In the letter, supervisors asked for scientific evidence to be publicly available and applied consistently. This statement address comments Governor Newsom made at a press conference on Jan. 25, in response to why he was withholding data to support his closing and reopening of the state. “If we’re taking away people’s livelihoods

in the name of the pandemic, which is very scary and people have died, it should be publicly available scientific evidence,” said Peschong. When asked what happens if the county never receives an acknowledgment from the Governor, Peschong says, “I’ll keep sending him letters and encouraging the community to reach out to his office.” Supervisors Peschong and Arnold hope their letter enlightens the Governor to withhold using ABC to target businesses trying to do their best during these unprecedented times and encourages him to release scientific COVID-19 related data that is currently being withheld from the public forum.
CRIME
AVILA BEACH — On Feb. 3, Sheriff ’s Deputies responded to the 3200 block of Avila Beach Drive in Avila Beach for a domestic disturbance that was occurring in a parking lot. Upon arrival, Deputies conducted a record check of a vehicle associated with the subjects. The check revealed the vehicle was associated with two homicide suspects out of Fresno. The suspects were identified as 21-year-old Davon Thomas and 23-year-old Emanuel Johnson, both from Fresno. A law enforcement advisory warned that the suspects
should be considered armed and dangerous. Upon further investigation, Deputies determined one of the homicide suspects, Thomas, was inside the hotel at that location. It was also determined three children and two other females were also in the room. The third female who had been involved in the domestic disturbance was located on the beach and detained by Port San Luis Harbor Patrol Officers. The whereabouts of the second suspect, Johnson, were unknown. For safety reasons, Deputies evacuated rooms near the hotel room of Thomas. Deputies were able to

Detectives answered a sex ad in which the female appeared to be very young, likely under the age of 18. Ultimately, a “date” was arranged, and the female subject from the photographs in the sex ad showed up.

Additionally, investigators identified a male subject that was in the area and, based upon his behavior, believed to be a possible trafficker of the 15-year-old. Investigators were ultimately able to contact the subject after he attempted to flee the area once he realized he was being surveilled by law enforcement. The Sheriff states that the subject was identified and tied to the 15-year-old victim at the scene. However, probable cause for his arrest did not exist at the time of the contact, so he was released. A subsequent investigation of evidence gathered has shown that the subject was, in fact, trafficking the 15-year-old, and a warrant/criminal filing will be sought for the trafficker(s).

Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Elderly Abuse, and Kidnapping STAFF REPORT PASO ROBLES — On Friday, Feb. 5 at 7:20 p.m., Paso Robles Police Department (PRPD) Dispatch received a 911 call from a woman reporting her elderly mother was being held against her will at knifepoint by her adult son, Charles Courtemanche.

passed in 1981. Margi’s family has a rich history in the Paso Robles community. Her grandparents Emanuel David and Sally Kuhnle arrived from The Dalles, Oregon, in 1890 and settled in the Estrella Plains. Their ranch remains in the family to this day. Margi was the Parkfield Librarian for twenty-three years, initially located in a one-room small house and later in a trailer near Parkfield Elementary School.

Attentive local drivers frequently had to slow down and beep their horns gently to let her know she was walking down the middle of the road. Margi was an active member of the San Luis Obispo County Cowbells and an avid participant in the Mercedes Club. Margi loved horses and riding them through the
fields; she loved Clementine, her burro, and all of her dogs (Scotties). She enjoyed life! Margi was a rancher who was pure love and tons of fun to be around.

great loss, he was always hopeful and cherished the memories made with his dear friend in recent years, Gay Ashmore. Bernie graduated from W.B. Ray High School in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1954, where he was a pitcher on the baseball team. He attended the University of Texas in Austin and earned a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering, graduating in 1961.

He held various positions in engineering, operations, planning, and management in Louisiana, Texas, California,
and Canada during his career. He made many close friends at Unocal and in the oil and gas community that were an important part of his life. Bernie traveled extensively in his career and loved sharing stories of his experiences. He continued his oil and gas experience as a Petroleum Consultant and board member for Unbridled Energy and later as a Petroleum Consultant for Synergy Oil & Gas.

He was an amateur chef and loved experiencing different cuisines. He enjoyed The Alley Theater in Houston and had season tickets for decades and always treasured taking his daughters than his grandsons to see “A Christmas Carol.” During his time in California, Bernie developed a love for the
Central Coast wine region and specifically Paso Robles and made many close friends in the wine industry.

start her long career as a hairdresser. In 1947 she met William “Bill” Nealon. They married on February 12, 1949. They had two children, Sharon and William “Billy.” In the early 60’s Sally opened her own beauty shop, “Sally’s Salon of Beauty” It was quite the “talk of the town” as it was decorated in all purple. Unlike anything, Dunsmuir had ever seen. She operated the beauty shop on Dunsmuir Ave until the building burnt down in the mid-1980s. But she didn’t retire. She worked out of her house and in small shops until she was well into her 70’s. At one time, her oldest client was 104. In 1973 her husband Bill passed away. She then met a hometown boy, who had returned to Dunsmuir to retire, Pace Paletta. After a long relationship, Pace and Sally got married in July 1987. Sally loved family and friends. She said she didn’t like to cook, but she was a good one and loved to entertain. Her other favorite thing to do was gamble! She and Pace would go on long weekends to Reno and Lake Tahoe with friends to gamble and watch the entertainment. In 2011 Sally decided it was time to get out of the snow and
cold in Dunsmuir. She moved to Paso Robles to live with her daughter and son-in-law, Sharon and Stu Ross. She settled into Paso Robles life, joining the Italian Catholic Federation at Saint Rose Church. And she joined the Senior Center, where she enjoyed playing bingo every Wednesday. She didn’t give up her gambling either. She made annual trips north to visit her son, Billy, and a trip to the local casinos. And there were her birthday trips to Chumash Casino with friends. Sally was preceded in death by her parents, Antonio and Maria Brun, brother Gino, sister, Enes, and husbands, William “Bill” Nealon and Pace Paletta. She is survived by her daughter, Sharon Nealon Ross (Stu), son William Nealon (Denise), step-son, Ron Paletta, grandchildren Drew Nealon, Kaylee Nealon Anderson (Mike), and Shannon Paletta Stanton (Neil), three great-grandchildren. A Funeral Mass will be held at 2 pm on February 19, 2021, at St. Rose of Lima, Paso Robles. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your local food bank.

We withstood it because we are Americans.

Parents Across the Nation Are Charting a New Course: Setting Sail from Public Education
CONNIE PILLSBURY COMMENTARY
S
ometimes when you are in the middle of a giant windstorm, you don’t notice the change in the rate of the breezes. But there is a windstorm blowing through public education in the United States that has been picking up speed for about thirty years. The first signs were when families started “homeschooling” in the 1980s, considered at first a ‘fringe phenomenon’ but now the fastest growing form of education in America. In 1983 the number was 93,000, jumping to one million in 1997 and 2.5 million in 2019. That number doubled by January of this year, with now 4-5 million (7-9 percent of school-age children) in grades K-12 being homeschooled.
Along with homeschooling, another route gathering speed is the number of families seeking charter schools. This surge also began in the 1980s, with inner-city minority families pulling their children out of undisciplined and disorganized schools to put them in charter schools. In early 2020, before the pandemic, there were over one million students on charter school waiting lists in the US (Charter Schools and their Enemies by Thomas Sowell, 2020). The big picture created by these 30-year trends is that parents are losing faith in the public school system’s ability to educate their children and produce capable citizens. “Parents have shifted to the place where they feel they need more direct involvement and greater responsibility for what happens with their children. We are in a major shift from how we thought about teaching children and running schools for the past 100 years.” (Dr. Joseph Murphy, Vanderbilt University) This ‘major shift’ also creates strong gusts of momentum for school choice vouchers. Consider this number: the state, with taxpayers’ money, spends an average of $14,270 per pupil annually in public schools. Currently, public schools hold
a monopoly on those funds, i.e., hold exclusive possession of all aspects of K-12 education. The only families that actually have a choice in what is taught and values transmitted are those who homeschool, pod-school, waitlist for a charter school, or pay for a micro-school or private school. Interestingly, the pandemic has accelerated the pace of this 30-year shift away from public education. The extended school closures have opened Pandora’s box revealing the lopsided level of teachers’ union control. Not only do the unions oppose re-opening, they strongly resist homeschooling, charter schools, and school choice through vouchers. In some cases, the unions are using the closure for their own gains. When asked last week why Chicago teachers would threaten a strike rather than return to in-person teaching, Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain, answered, “money.” Bingo. But teachers’ unions’ efforts cannot stop the ongoing winds of change. Parents feel abandoned by the schools that have been supported by their tax dollars. Data released last week show California K-12 public schools have dropped by 155,000 students, a record. “In North Carolina, the state’s homeschool website crashed on the
first day of enrollment, when more than 18,800 families filed to operate a home school for 2021-22. Connecticut recorded a fivefold jump in those who left public schools for homeschool. Nebraska saw a 56 percent rise in homeschooling.” (Wall Street Journal, Jan. 31, 2021) Charter school waiting lists have doubled while private schools, 60 percent open to in-person learning since fall, are at maximum capacity. Parents aren’t waiting for districts to stop haggling with unions about when to open schools. And they’re not hopeful that failure of the public school system to educate is going to change. They are saying, “We’ve really tried for a year to do what the districts are asking, but we just can’t do this anymore.” All over the country, they’re setting their sails and charting a new course.

4. Get Help: Seek help from a professional who can help your friend or relative with their mental health struggles. A counselor can give you advice and ideas on how to overcome anxiety, fear, and depression. Getting help from a professional is the number one priority in helping your loved one deal with fear and anxiety. Joining a local mental health support group can also be helpful. Talk to your doctor to get more information about potential groups in your area. 5. Talk to the person on what will happen if they do not get help: Another way to convince the person who is struggling with fear and depression is to tell them what may happen if they don’t get
some assistance. Anxiety and depression can make things worse, and usually, it won’t go away by itself without some kind of treatment. 6. Find Out The Reasons Why The Person Won’t Get Help: Address the issues on why the person will not get the necessary help. Many people who are struggling are fearful and frustrated. Try to find out the reasons why he or she won’t get the help they need and then try to find ways that will overcome their resistance of seeking assistance.

They need an appro- and rates are set accordingly. Our meet capital improvement needs. right. Past City Council’s have Dear Editor, It’s a rare day that I support government fee increases. My natural tendency is to wince at the thought. But in this case, I support the proposed Waste Water fee Schedule as the Paso Roble City Council agreed to on the 2nd of February. That schedule proposes we transition from a 100 percent usage-based fee to a fixed and variable rate fee structure. As citizens of Paso Robles, we own the wastewater treatment facil-
priate amount of money to operate that facility, and it is fair to ask that they do their best to operate it as efficiently and as effectively as possible. They cannot do that if we force a fee structure that doesn’t properly cover the needed operating expenses and capital upgrades. I’ve read the January 2021 Waste Water Study, which finds that approximately 80% of the expenses are fixed expenses. Most utilities recognize that some expenses do not vary with capacity, and some do. Those are commonly referred
fixed expenses happen to be a large proportion of the total, and so our rates should reflect that. The last rate study was done ten years ago, so it’s appropriate that the rates be reviewed again. Yes, the recommended rate increases 24%, but that’s because there has been no rate increase in five years. The current variable rate structure hasn’t even covered the needs, which required us to draw down our wastewater financial reserves. Additionally, unlike the previous rate structure, the new ones
In short, this new rate structure is what any of us would need if we were personally operating that plant, and I fully support it. The past rates were variable only, based on freshwater usage only. This ignored the fact that the majority of the expenses were fixed operating costs. Then, due to the drought, we as a community embarked on a city-wide water usage reduction effort. This then reduced revenues for the wastewater treatment system. What’s right isn’t always popu-
set rates based on popularity, not what’s needed to operate a plant in a fiscally responsible way. It appears this City Council is recognizing we need to be told the truth regardless of if its popularity. Having said that, they are trying to transition to this structure as painlessly as possible.

enjoyed another birthday last week, and even though there was no big party due to COVID restrictions, my friends did not let me down. Jeannie and Greg Malik delivered a “birthday party package” that included Jeannie’s wonderful Carrot Cake, party napkins, candle numbers 5 and 8 (not 8 and 5!!), sparkling wine, a bouquet of beautiful red roses, and chocolates. Son Dave delivered a luscious homemade lemon tart that he and his wife, Shannon, had baked. Diane and Mike Schneider delivered a potted plant full of bright yellow blossoms, and the Mattson family sent me a wonderful bouquet of fresh flowers. Good things! All deliveries were made safely according to COVID guidelines. Gifts, cards, and emails were all gratefully accepted and appreciated. The only thing missing was the ability to give everyone a great big hug. Somehow, the human touch was missing, and I hope we will be able to do that again sometime soon. According to the Atascadero Historical Society Newsletter, the Colony Museum has been getting a “refresh” since it was closed to visitors. The board has been

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and whisk it with the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Chill for up to an hour. Melt remaining tablespoon butter on the heated griddle, making sure it doesn’t brown. When the butter has melted, ladle batter on griddle like you would for pancakes. Use about 1/3 cup batter for each taco. Cook about 2 minutes, flipping taco when bubbles form. Cook 2 minutes on second side. Remove to cooling rack.

COLUMNIST
want to start a series of messages on a character study of the life of the patriarch Joseph. I’m currently preaching on this topic in my Sunday morning sermons, which has resulted in a positive response from my congregation. I believe this is happening because the Bible records actual and historical events in the life of people that have very real practical lessons for our lives today. Human nature and behavior have changed so little over the centuries. The Bible records the truth about many of life’s problems and their solutions. This is
very helpful in overcoming some of life’s perplexing dilemmas. The life of Joseph is a great commentary on the causes of a dysfunctional family and how Joseph overcame this serious problem by displaying forgiveness, kindness, grace, and mercy. Joseph was one of the twelve sons of the famous patriarch Jacob whose father was Isaac, and grandfather was Abraham, who was the founder of the Hebrew nation (Genesis 12-30). Joseph was part of a large family consisting of Jacob’s four wives, twelve sons, and one daughter. One of the main problems that produced Jacob’s dysfunctional family was the envy and jealousy caused by the attitude of competition. Jacob’s wives competed for his love and favor. His sons competed because of Jacob’s favoritism of his son Joseph. Much of the fault for causing
Jacob’s dysfunctional family was produced by Jacob’s extraordinary love and favoritism of Joseph. Jacob’s favorite wife was Rachel, and her first-born son was Joseph. Jacob’s favoritism caused a serious problem of hateful sibling rivalry. Jacob is well remembered for making Joseph a colorful tunic exclusively for his favorite son. It is amazing to see how Jacob’s favoritism caused such serious emotional problems in his other sons. They could not tolerate Joseph, and their jealousy turned into hate. This hate over a period of years caused Joseph’s brothers to desire to murder their brother. God prevented this from occurring, but He allowed Joseph to be sold as a slave who was taken to Egypt. One of the great lessons in Joseph’s life was how God blessed and cared for him. God
had a wonderful plan to fulfill by sending Joseph to Egypt. God has a miraculous way of changing the results of the evil treatment of people who do hateful things. The study of Joseph’s life will reveal how God worked thru the tragedies that Joseph experienced and made him a kind and forgiving man. God can overcome the problems of dysfunctionalism in any circumstance. In future messages, we’ll learn how this occurred in Joseph’s life. God enabled Joseph to overcome the problems of being treated with jealousy, unkindness, and hatred. God can also enable us today to overcome being mistreated through teaching us to be forgiving.

For Valentine’s Day:
Uncor k the other Red Wines
alentine’s Day is fast approaching, and most of you are planning to serenade your amour with a bottle of Rosè or sparkling wine. Hold that thought! This year let’s venture into the world of The Other Red Wines and give the traditional varieties like cabernet sauvignon, syrah, merlot, and grenache a rest - if only for a day. How about trying esoteric reds such as marselan, caladoc, carignan, négrette, cabernet pfeffer? Or Italian and Spanishvarietal wines. (Variety signifies a species of grape, whereas varietal is a wine made from a single variety, this could be 100 percent or up to 75 percent of that variety with the balance blended with one or two more varieties). How esoteric? Take Dubost Winery’s dark and brooding négrette (native to Toulouse, France) and cabernet pfeffer (hybrid of cabernet sauvignon and trousseau) produced by winemaker/vineyard manager Zachary Raines, who sources the grapes from San Benito County. The purple-hued négrette is a wine that is lush on the palate, laced with violet aromas and backed with supple tannins. “It’s at its prime right now but can age for five or more years,” Raines commented on the 2016 vintage. The 2017 is just as lush, however, yet with less oak and shows pronounced acidity. Cabernet pfeffer, as the name suggests since pfeffer in German means pepper, has a jolt of pepperiness on the palate balanced with delicious cherries and plums on the palate. A mere 50 acres each of both these varieties are planted in the US and mostly in San Benito County. Raines also poured the carménère, a grape native to Bordeaux that was once used as one of the six varieties in the classic Bordeaux blend. “It’s like the pinot of Bordeaux,” Raines commented on the medium body wine redolent of cherries and woven with soft tannins. A purist, Raines works with native yeast, adding very little sulfur with no fining or filtering. “I’d rather keep it in an unadulterated form,” he said when I met him for a safely distanced tasting on the winery’s terrace. While visitors come for Dubost’s signature Rhône blends, they are also drawn to these unfamiliar varietal wines. “People now seek us out, and we are getting known for this,” said Raines. “We’re enjoying making these wines that have been pushed aside,” commented Sherman Thacher, where I savored another deep-colored négrette, Thacher Winery’s 2019 vintage also sourced from San Benito County. “These are fun to drink,” said Thatcher, whose goal is not to manipulate the wines that are vinified with native yeasts and neutral oak. “We are not looking to make a heavy, extracted wines. It’s a ten-month aging program that gives a freshness to wines.” We also tasted the Thacher 2018 valdiguié (once known as Napa Gamay), expressing pomegranate freshness and a 2019 cinsault showing vivid spiciness and hints of white pepper. Sextant is another winery producing obscure wines such as the X Series marselan and caladoc (native to France’s Languedoc region). Both varietal wines are produced in small quantities and available through the tasting room only. Although the bottle label bears the name marselan, it also reads cabernet sauvignon and grenache; the same with caladoc, which is also labeled grenache and malbec. This could be misleading to the consumer. In a phone conversation, winemaker Alex Frost explained the reason for the labeling: “Marselan is a cross between these two varieties, and it takes the characteristics of the parent wines.” But the Alcohol & Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau (TTB) did not recognize marselan and caladoc as Rhône varieties, and the winery couldn’t label it as such. Therefore, the grape variety name and its parents’ names are identified on the bottle label. “It’s a big wine with fruit from grenache and cabernet giving it backbone,” said Frost of the full-bodied marselan rocking with a burst of cherries. The deep-hued, medium body caladoc is a carousel of berry fruits and balanced acidity. “What’s cool about this wine is it kinda exemplifies both these varieties,” Frost commented, meaning its parents grenache and malbec. The grapes are planted on Sextant’s estate vineyards in the El Pomar district. Popular varieties such as mourvedre, cinsault, counoise, tannat as well as malbec, cabernet franc, and petit verdot make great companions in blends, but truly shine when expressing their individual characteristics and flavors. “People come to Paso expecting blends,” noted Damian Grindley,

founding winemaker at Brecon Estate, “yet wine club members are interested in varietal wines.” Grindley crafts a good half dozen varietals such as cabernet franc from 40-year-old vines, an intense petit verdot, an approachable petite sirah, a smoky mourvedre, and a deep-hued, well-structured tannat. “Tannat has a future in Paso,” said Grindley of a grape becoming popular with local winemakers. Native to southwest France, the smoky varietal with notes of chocolate and licorice is produced by wineries such as Bushong Vintage Company, Seven Oxen, Vina Robles, Tablas Creek, and Barr Estate. At Jada Vineyard & Winery, I sampled two versions of a dark and brooding tannat, the earthy and gamey 2017, that has a touch of merlot. “It adds richness and softness,” noted winemaker Joshua Harp. The 2018 is complex and intense with spicy notes. ‘Wouldn’t hurt to age this for ten years,” said Harp. Dirk Neumann, owner/winemaker of Absolution Cellars, sources his tannat from Jada and crafts it in a bold rich style expressive of muscle-flexing tannins. Over a dozen wines are produced by Neumann, including a delicious age-worthy cabernet franc. Derby Wine Estates is another winery with a large portfolio of varietal wines, some 29 labels, although not produced every year. Winemaker Sean Geoghegan crafts wines that are elegant, low in alcohol, showing the expression of Derby’s westside vineyards. The varietal-focused black label series ranges from aviolet-laced graciano and the plum-loaded petit verdot to a perfumey cinsault and a counoise effusive of strawberries. (More delicious counoise is produced by San Liege and Paix sur Terre). Carignan was little known as a varietal until Amy Butler of Ranchero Cellars made it her signature, a wine that coats the palate with a rush of plum and berry fruit backed with hints of Paso garrigue (wild hillside shrubbery). Steve Baker, owner/winemaker of Circle B Vineyards & Cellars, crafts a luscious blend of carignan and cabernet sauvignon in his 2017 Cariñena Reserva. He chooses to give it the Spanish name to differentiate it from his 100-percent carignan bottling. The Bakers acquired their five-acre property in 2012 on Paso’s east-side, then in 2014 planted one acre of carignan. Baker says it was the largest planting of this variety in Paso at the time. For the Bakers, producing the small-lot annual production of some 500 cases is a family affair. “Clara does the foot-stomping with her girlfriends,” noted Baker of his wife and their handcrafted wines that are complex, expressing bright fruit flavors with an underlying finesse. Safely distanced on the patio of their house, which serves as a tasting area, we tasted through an impressive program of other varietal wines such as tempranillo, petit verdot, and tannat. For mourvèdre fans, check out this varietal at Paix sur Terre, J. Dusi, Thacher, and Seven Oxen. And for cabernet franc lovers, you can’t go wrong at LXV Wine, Brecon Estate, Four Lanterns, and Paris Valley Road Winery. Among the Italian-focused wineries, Giornata, Caparone, Pelletiere and Clesi are producing exceptional Italian varietal wines ranging from nebbiolo and montepulciano to aglianico, barbera, sangiovese and nero d’Avola. In the Spanish portfolio, Dorothy Schuler, owner/winemaker of Bodegas Paso Robles, specializes in both Spanish and Portuguese varieties. Although most of her wines are blends of varieties such as tempranillo, graciano, touriga nacional, and tinto cāo, I tasted a varietal monastrell (aka mourvedre) from the 2014 vintage, ringing with currants and backed by balanced tannins and acidity, a hallmark of Schuler’s wines. “I like acid and tannins to be well integrated and like them to age well,” Schuler commented as we tasted the wines, safely distanced in the garden of her home. The pandemic forced her to close her downtown tasting room, so the wines are available online and tastings offered through her concierge tasting service. Others producing noteworthy Spanish varietals include Diablo Paso and Bodega de Edgar. Last but not least, there’s Steve Viera, the vineyardist producing Rosé de Bobal from half an acre planted at his house, where the wine is produced in his garage. Native to Valencia, Spain, this rare variety was planted in the 1950s by Viera’s grandfather in Santa Clara Valley. Some 15 years ago, Viera acquired the cutting and sent it to UC Davis “to get it cleaned up for viruses.” Viera, who now has the proprietary on bobal, plans to propagate it at Sunridge Nursery. “This is a variety made for Paso,” Viera said confidently.

some brief reports before City Attorney Brian Pierik took over to give a presentation on why the City should adopt an emergency ordinance affirming the orders of the State of California, County Emergency Services Director and the County Public Health Office. “In 2020, there was a similar ordinance that was adopted that includes similar provisions as the one tonight,” Pierik said. “What it does is it allows the City to enforce the orders by the State and the County with regard to COVID-19.” The ordinance does not require the City to take enforcement action; it only authorizes them to do so. The ordinance allows the City to enforce the orders and is more or less precautionary, and protects the City from legal loopholes. After some debate as to why it was necessary, the Council agreed and the motion passed. In the final order of business on Tuesday night, the Council reviewed and filed the City’s Comprehensive Financial Strategy. Administrative Services Director Jeri Rangel provided an incredibly thorough six-part presentation covering key actions, revenues, operating expenses, long-term costs, reserves and financial policies. Following the presentation, there was discussion among the Council Members about adding a detailed report on the tax measures and looking at the ability to reduce future operating and maintenance costs, even if it may be a little more expensive on the front. The Council agreed, made the additions, and made a unanimous motion. The 100-plus page report can be accessed online at Atascadero.org in the City Council member’s agenda packets, as can the link to view all of the meetings.
Included in the science facilities are a new welding and woodworking shop that comes with 22 cutting edge welding booths for AHS students. With the latest equipment, AUSD is now working with Cuesta college on dual enrollment courses to help those students interested in making a career in trades. “Facilities are an important part of that,” Andrus said. “Community Colleges don’t want to partner with you in these types of classes until you have modernized equipment and facilities that are industry standard, industry-ready. Part of the problem some schools have is they try to articulate what the colleges are doing, but their facilities just aren’t up to snuff. This gives us a new level of ability to work with Cuesta and prepare our kids.” AHS not only invested in the sciences but also in the arts as the new Black Box Theater and music and chorus rooms are also complete and waiting to be filled with future entertainers and performers. The construction of the music rooms and theater was divided into two phases. Phase one focused on just the music and chorus rooms and began in April of 2020 and was completed that September. Phase two, which included the new Black Box theater, green room, staging area, dressing rooms, and a closed-circuit tv monitor for actors and actresses to get their cues, began in June of 2019. The theater also has a seating area built to accommodate around 100 spectators for any production put on by the drama, choral, and music departments. Phase two of construction was delayed due to the old welding

The recommendation to the Board was to approve the set allocations, as presented in the table below, which was approved in a 5-0 vote. The Board then went to closed session, and upon returning at 1:30 p.m., stated that during the closed session the Board voted to authorize the initiation of litigation against Sprouse Communications for improperly hitting a pipeline during work on Monterey Road in Atascadero. Next, the Board had their hearing to consider an appeal (APPL2019-00019) by Kenneth Cottrell and Stephanie Shakofsky of the Planning Commission’s approval of a request by 13350 River Road LLC (formerly Helios Dayspring) for a Conditional Use Permit (DRC2018-00036) to establish up to three acres of outdoor cannabis cultivation, up to 22,000 square feet of indoor mixed-light cannabis cultivation, up to 27,570 square feet of ancillary cannabis nursery, and opera-

ers were seen eating on restaurant premises. Depending on the county and license type, a liquor license can cost anywhere from $3,000 to as high as $400,000. Losing a liquor license would be detrimental to businesses that hold one. Local restaurants went to take-out orders only for one weekend. Because all the while these businesses were on the edge of their seats with warnings from ABC, there were rumors on the news and in the town that the Governor of California would soon be lifting the stay-at-home order. And he did. On Monday, Jan. 25, California Governor Gavin Newsom lifted the COVID stay-at-home order across the state. Since the state lifted restrictions, restaurants can now allow customers to dine outdoors. This is just one example of the whiplash of changes restaurants have been going through the past year. Joanna Wemple, owner of Colony Market in Atascadero, said, “The biggest struggle is probably the uncertainty and trying to know what we’re allowed to do and what we’re not allowed to do and making the new rules work

to the higher transmission rate of these activities in indoor settings. The Board then heard from members of the public who were concerned with not only the current homeless population but also those facing homelessness due to financial constraints. Supervisor Bruce Gibson spoke in response to the callers, “The county has access to some 17 million dollars that could be used to address those behind in their rent and threatened with eviction eventually. By some estimates, that may be less than half of the rent debt accumulated in the county…. I’ve been very concerned with our ability to address this.” He then suggested creating a task force to address the complex housing issue facing the county. “This is something I’m very interested in seeing move forward aggressively and effectively.” Laurel Weir, the Homeless Services Coordinator, presented on agenda item 22. She spoke on the proposed allocation of the state-funded Emergency Solutions Grant Funding Program - Corona Virus (CA ESG-CV). The eligible activities under CA
shop occupants needing to wait until the new science building and shops were finished. Construction on the Black Box Theater was substantially complete in December of 2020. In addition to the large scale projects, AHS has also renovated some of its older facilities and brought them into the 21st century. The girl’s locker room received a much-needed upgrade, and six new tennis courts are expected to be completed in March of 2021 with weather permitting. The new tennis courts are being built adjacent to the game field, where the old bus barn used to sit. With a brand new science facility now in the heart of the campus, AHS has begun renovating the old science department, which houses some of the oldest classrooms at the high school site. A couple of classrooms have been transformed into a new fitness center and spin room, complete with treadmills, exercise bikes, and plenty of floor space to work up a sweat. The former C-building will also house a new, more extensive training room and a ticket taking window for high school sporting events. While AHS already looks much different than it had only a few years ago, more changes are coming in the near future. According to AUSD Superintendent Tom Butler, the giant cinderblock that is the historic B-Building is supposed to come down this summer. It seems for the last 20 years that there have been rumors that the B-Building was coming down, but it appears it will finally happen in 2021. In its place, AHS plans to create an open green space for students and turn that area into the featured entrance into the school. These projects were paid using funds derived primarily through the Measure I-10 and B-14 school bond ballot initiatives and were Top, construction on then new tennis courts at augmented with developer fees.

so we can stay in business.” Business owners have had to heavily invest in take-out materials, outdoor heaters, patio furniture, outdoor tents, and more. With large purchases, owners have had to weigh their options. They may need heaters for outdoor dining this week, but next week they could be doing only take-out again, and the week after that, they could be open for indoor dining. It has been a gamble for businesses that are already a gamble themselves. This situation could be challenging for newer restaurants that don’t have much in reserves. Wemple, for example, said, “This restaurant business is not for the weak of heart - we’re so new - we have so much we are still learning anyway and throwing this in on top of it were like oh well by the time this is over we’ll be experts!” Ali Carscaden, owner and sommelier of 15 Degree C Wine Shop and Bar, expressed her frustration with the regulations’ back and forth. A feeling currently felt by many restaurant owners. “[We] go through all these changes, schedule changes, furniture moving, venue changes, everything to then put it all back on Monday. It’s just jumping through hoops, and
tion of a non-storefront dispensary at 13350 River Road, east of the community of San Miguel. The project is within the Agricultural land use category and the Salinas River Sub Planning Area of the North County Planning Area. The main points of the appeal were in regard to water usage and noise and odor nuisances to the surrounding 40 plus homes within 1000 feet of the project. After hearing from both the applicant (who currently operates facilities in other locations under the name Natural Healing Center) and appellant regarding the issue, the Board went to public comment where they heard from tens of employees touting Natural Healing Center as “a local company, run by locals, and we need local government support in order to continue achieving and progressing.” In favor of the operation was Jim Dantona, president, and CEO of the SLO Chamber of Commerce, who stated his support of this project and stated, “once our governmental entities have set the rules, the chamber is an advocate for allowing our doers and dreamers to reasonably rely on those rules and not be subject to changing, different or contradictory rules
one minute it’s this way, and the next minute it’s that way, and after a year, I think myself and other licensees are getting pretty tired of having to continue to comply at the very last minute and change the way we are operating our businesses,” said Carscaden. The constant back and forth with regulations also trickle down to restaurant employees. Carscaden said, “I’ve owned this for thirteen years, and my heart breaks for my staff. People that want to work, and I’m calling them off constantly or calling them to come in. More often than not, calling them off I have people that have to pay rent, people with families-it’s completely unsustainable for businesses.” So how can we, as a community, help our local restaurants? Just keep supporting them. Be patient with them. Move through the ups and downs with them. Support from the community has been what keeps these businesses going. Wemple says, “I am overwhelmed all the time by how many people come in, and it’s not even just that they’re coming in to order. I feel like they’re coming in to make sure we’re okay.” Carscaden mentions social media has
for similar uses.” Several community members called in, in opposition of the project with concerns over the accuracy of the data presented in the water study, the capacity to effectively mitigate the odor with the high winds in the area, as well as the potential risk involved as the area has low response times from the Sheriff ’s department. Janice Brown, a resident of San Miguel, addressed concerns with the water usage, citing the drought in 2018 and the need to drill a new well at her residence on Mission Lane, which was delayed by several

months due to the high demand of wells to be drilled across the county. The Board returned to the final discussion on the topic and addressed their concerns. Supervisor Debbie Arnold, who is historically in favor of changing the water usage guidelines to allow for agriculture to continue, stated that the project seemed to require too many mitigations to be a good fit for the location. Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg stated, “This is a legal industry, it’s an industry that has provided a lot of jobs… but I do think that it is
really important that the applicant reach out to the neighbors. This does require a good neighbor policy. I think it is something that people can work out, though.” The matter was put to a motion to deny the appeal and let the project continue, with Supervisor Arnold and Chairperson Compton voting against it and Supervisors Gibson, Peschong, and Ortiz-Legg voting in favor.
