Richard ‘Dick’ Nock, a Legacy, Mentor and Friend to All Nock was named Cattlemen of the Year in 1979; the list of all his accomplishments is almost endless By CAMILLE DeVAUL camille@atascaderonews.com
O
n a chilly morning in Cayucos, some long time friends sat around a fire on their friend’s ranch. With polenta being stirred and stew warming in a pot, they laughed and shared memories of a man who will never be forgotten. On paper, Richard “Dick” Leo Nock was a cattle rancher, a beef industry advocate, livestock entrepreneur, and Army Veteran. For those who knew him personally, Nock was a lover of splitting eggs, having a horn, handing out nicknames, and most of all, cattle. There were also many things Nock wasn’t a fan of. For instance, half-empty soda cans or slamming the door on his Jeep Cherokee-because it wasn’t a ranch vehicle! But when it came down to it, Nock was a good-natured man. Jo-Ann Switzer said, “Since Dick passed, there’s been lots of phone calls from people all over saying how much he did for them, and they would not be where they are today if it wasn’t for him helping-he really had a heart of gold underneath.” Nock was born and raised on the Phelan Ranch in Cambria, California, where his great-grandfather, Jeffrey Phelan, settled in 1858 after immigrating from Ireland. Growing up, Nock worked on the Fiscalini Ranch. And for a short time, when he was 14, Nock worked at Hearst Castle for the big man himself, William Randolph Hearst. However, his time at Hearst didn’t last, and long story short, it ended with a broken nose! After graduating with a B.S. in Economics from the University of Santa Clara in 1953, Nock served in the U.S. Army as an Army Aviator from 1953-1957. It was then that Nock served with the U.S. Armed Forces in Korea and next as a flight instructor in the U.S. Army Aviation School in Fort Rucker, Alabama. Nock then returned home and CONTINUED ON PAGE A15

ATASCADERO - Monday, Jan. 4, marked the first official day in charge for new Atascadero Police Chief Robert “Bob” Masterson. The new chief is taking over for former chief Jerel Haley whose last day was in October of 2020 after serving the Atascadero Police Department for nine years. The Atascadero News reached out to the new chief this week to set up an interview to find out a little about him and what we can expect to see in the City of Atascadero in the coming months. Chief Masterson began his law enforcement career in 1986 with the Tulare County Sheriff ’s Department. He was hired to serve as a Deputy Trainee and worked his way through the ranks to the position of Police Lieutenant in 2001. After seven years as a Lieutenant, Masterson left the Tulare County Sheriff ’s Department to become the director of a faithbased non-profit organization that provided gang prevention to at-risk youth before becoming the Chief of Police for the College of Sequoias Community College. For the past five years, Masterson has worked as the police chief in King City, making tremendous

the commitment it was a real commitment to myself. It wasn’t a commitment to a diet; it wasn’t a commitment to keto; it wasn’t a commitment to weight watchers. It was a commitment to myself, and that felt different,” says Twisselman. Early in her health journey, Twisselman began documenting her experience. For the first few months, she kept those videos and photos to herself. But after Kiah started to see changes happening and knew she would follow through, she began to share her story
ATASCADERO — The Atascadero City Council met for the first time in the new year on Tuesday night and the discussion around Measure D-20, the one-cent sales tax measure passed in the November elections. The meeting began with a video of new Atascadero Police Chief Robert ‘Bob’ Masterson, who officially started on Jan. 4, taking part in the Administration of Oath of Office before focusing on local officer Craig Martineau who received a commendation from his new chief from his work in the field last September. “About a year ago, Officer Martineau proposed that we carry tourniquets on our duty belts to offer life-saving to officers and the public,” Masterson said, standing on the steps of City Hall. “In the course of officer Martineau’s duties, he responded to a shooting on Sept. 25, 2020, in which case a San Luis Obispo County Deputy was shot outside of Paso Robles and Templeton. Officer Martineau responded, singularly tracked down the wounded deputy, applied his tourniquet that he proposed we carry, which ultimately resulted in diminished blood loss to the deputy. Which, in all reality, helped at the very least to save his leg, if not his life.” For his quick thinking and potentially life-saving work, Officer Martineau earned the Chief ’s Commendation and had his fiance place the pin on this uniform. Following a few brief updates from the City Manager, the Council dove into the only item of the night but received far less community participation than was expected for an issue that was so polarizing just two months ago. The City presented a 24-minute video that explained in great detail where money needs to be spent in Atascadero, starting with public safety. Throughout the video, Atascadero Fire Chief Casey Bryson, Atascadero Police Department Lieutenant Robert Molle, Public Works Director Nick DeBar, and Community Development Director Phil Dunsmore explain where funding is needed and how underfunding has impacted and will continue to impact the City going forward.

strides in reducing violent crime. He was a crucial component in the City’s comprehensive plan to end youth violence. Masterson was so successful he received a Congressional commendation letter for violent crime reduction in King City as well as commendations from the State Assembly
and Senate. Masterson is no stranger to the Central Coast area and attributes our special piece of California as one of the main reasons he decided to put his name in for the Atascadero position. “My wife and I came over to the San Luis Obispo area just
because it was where we decided we wanted to raise our children,” Masterson said. “What drew us to Atascadero was the connection at ABC [Atascadero Bible Church], I knew quite a few people over here already that moved from CONTINUED ON PAGE A15
HEALTH AND FITNESS
From the Cattle Ranch to Life Coach, Twisselman is an Inspiration By CAMILLE DeVAUL camille@atascaderonews.com
O
ne bit, don’t quit! Those are the words that have become Kiah Twisselman’s catchphrase after losing over 125 pounds and becoming a full-time life and weight loss coach. Born and raised on her family’s cattle ranch in Carrisa Plains, Twisselman has a deep love for the beef and agriculture industry. After graduating from UC Davis, Twisselman worked on the Kentucky Beef Council and in charge of their nutrition program. “I felt very conflicted in that role. Not because I didn’t believe in what we were sharing in terms of beef and protein’s role in a heart-healthy diet and lifestyle,” said Twisselman. She continued, “I grew up on a cattle ranch, I believe in the beef industry with all my heart and soul, but I felt like such a hypocrite standing up in front of the room telling-the general public ‘yeah beef is so great for your health’ without being a vision of health myself.” Before boarding a plane to a conference for the beef council, Twisselman picked up Rachel Hollis’s book ‘Girl, Wash Your Face.’ Then Twisselman had her ah-ha moment, if you will, after having to ask for a seatbelt extender on the plane for the first time. After that moment, Twisselman decided she needed to make some changes, but this

time things were going to be different, “I feel like I knew this time that something felt different, and I think that really started within me.” Twisselman began to follow Rachel Hollis’s ‘Five to Thrive’ in October 2018. Hollis’s ‘Five to Thrive’ is a list of five things she does every day that has drastically changed her life, energy levels, and how she shows up for her family. It wasn’t her first time trying to make a change in her health, but this time she knew it was different. “I think that I knew this time when I made

El Paso De Robles DAR Chapter Celebrates 71st Anniversary By CAMILLE DeVAUL PASO ROBLES — For the last 70 plus years, the El Paso de Robles NSDAR Chapter members have made a difference in the community while preserving patriotic history. The El Paso de Robles Chapter was officially organized on Feb. 15, 1950, with Marie Appleton appointed as their first organizing regent. Now, Lisa Wood is the chapter’s current regent, continuing their volunteering tradition within the community. Despite some 2020 challenges, the NSDAR members were still able to contribute. Chapter members learned how to collaborate from home using Zoom, a new method they plan to keep using. Since the chapter was limited on the fundraising events they could do this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, they focused many of their efforts on raising funds for National Wreaths Across America Day. “We raised close to $4,000 to buy wreaths to lay on the Templeton Cemetery. They have 350 veteran gravesites there. This year we raised enough money to lay wreaths on every one of those gravesites,” said Wood. Leftover wreaths were laid on veterans’ graves found at the Shandon Cemetery. Chapter members didn’t expect the outpouring of support they ended up receiving for the wreaths. Mr. Lawrence Mora, Commander of the American Legion #220 and organizer of the Templeton Cemetary, and his wife donated $500 for the wreaths. Wood shared, “We outdid ourselves this year. Which was very unexpected, being it was COVID-19 year, we weren’t sure how much money, if any money, anyone had to donate.” On a national level, NSDAR members have been sewing masks to donate to those in need during the pandemic. Nationally, NSDAR members have sewn and donated over 100,000 masks.

For the National DAR Day of Service, local NSDAR members put together a local food drive in Templeton for Thanksgiving dinner. Chapter members, along with the help from three Templeton 4-H groups, Templeton Cub Scouts No. 434 and Templeton Boy Scouts No. 434, collected non-perishable food items and monetary donations for turkeys. All the donations collected were donated to the Salvation Army and helped provide Thanksgiving dinners to 30 households in Templeton. “We have some outstanding women who are go-getters. We range from all ages, and I’m going, to be honest, some of these older ladies, which I am one of them, can do pretty much anything the other ones can. We are pretty strong and active,” says Wood. The El Paso de Robles Chapter, NSDAR also
advocates for women’s health issues, including domestic violence and breast cancer. Their newsletters bring light and awareness to various topics affecting women. With 53 members in the El Paso de Robles Chapter alone, Wood is very proud of the women she works with, saying, “We’re getting bigger and stronger every day with the help of all our members.” To honor local firefighters and police officers in Paso Robles, chapter members have planned a “pizza party” to be delivered to the station in the next month. Their pizza party was initially planned for Dec 2020 but was delayed due to COVID restrictions. The chapter hopes to have pizza and cookies delivered to the Paso Robles Police and Fire department soon to thank them for protecting our city. “We like to preserve the memory of our veterans who

fought in the American Revolution right up to what’s going on today,” Wood said. If you would like more information on how to get involved or donate, visit elpasoderobles.californiadar.org.

Atascadero Small Business Emergency Grants Awarded STAFF REPORT
ECHO Organizations Urgent Need for Volunteers STAFF REPORT ATASCADERO — El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO) is in urgent need of volunteers for each of its facilities. As ECHO celebrates 20 years (2001-2021), a wave of expansion to meet the needs of homelessness in North County has led to increased demand for volunteers. Now operating three facilities in Atascadero and Paso Robles, the bed capacity has nearly tripled from the original ECHO shelter in Atascadero, which housed 50 individuals. ECHO Atascadero now houses 60 individuals admitted to a core three-month case management program. ECHO Paso Robles, located in the former Motel 6 on Black Oak Drive, houses 60 individuals seeking emergency shelter, and ECHO Winter Emergency Shelter operates at Atascadero Community Church from Nov. 1 to Mar. 31 each year and houses 20 individuals seeking emergency shelter during the winter months. A variety of positions are open to being filled, with most requiring just a few hours a week. Nightly check-in of residents, providing to-go style meals, serving dinner, and monitoring a shower program is only a few of the positions open. Volunteers can choose what feels most comfortable, whether that be direct interaction with others or ancillary support roles. The most urgent need is overnight chaperones at the ECHO Atascadero shelter, which requires an overnight stay for a team of two. Many couples have found this position extremely rewarding and choose to volunteer in this role once a month. Volunteering at ECHO is a safe and extremely rewarding experience that allows volunteers to immediately see the impact their service has on others’ lives. “Our volunteers are core to the success of our mission to end homelessness in our community,” states Wendy
Lewis, President/CEO of ECHO, “Volunteers come to us with the desire to give back to the community and are surprised at just how rewarding it is. Many of them tend to form life-long friendships with other volunteers and typically become regulars in a variety of volunteer positions.” ECHO operates three safe and secure overnight shelters in Atascadero and Paso Robles to meet families’ immediate needs and individuals who have become homeless. With ECHO Atascadero’s unique residency program, clients are provided case management services to assist them in securing a job and finding permanent and sustainable housing within three months of entering the shelter program. While enrolled in the program, clients are taught life skills for employment, budgeting, health care management, and social communication and interaction. The goal and the result of this practical support is the empowerment of residents to move in a positive direction while assisting them in acquiring the skills and services they need to become self-sustaining, including secure housing. A force of 1,500 community volunteers provides ancillary support to run the facilities and meal programs at each location serving over 100 meals each evening to shelter residents and the homeless population. For more information and to sign up, please visit our website at echoshelter.org/volunteer. Specific requests or questions regarding volunteering for ECHO can be directed to ECHO’s Volunteer Coordinators: ECHO Paso Robles - Pearl Herrera at (805)538-3947 or pherrera@echoshelter.org ECHO Atascadero - Raychel Nowak at (805)539-7858 or Rnowak@echoshelter.org ECHO Emergency Winter Shelter - Jenn Banko at (805)792-2536 or jbanko@echoshelter.org
ATASCADERO — On Jan. 8, the City of Atascadero announced that the Small Business Emergency Assistance Grant checks were printed and signed, and assembled for mailing the same day. The City approved 63 applications, and most of these businesses will be receiving their checks over the next few days. The City recognized that with the most recent stay-at-home order and the shutdown of many business categories, including all on-site dining, personal services (barbers, hairdressers, nail salons, etc.) In addition, fitness centers, dance studios, family entertainment, movie theaters, the impact has been devastating. Restaurants, breweries, wineries, coffee shops, and other food and beverage services may now only operate on delivery or to-go basis. The Atascadero City Council stated that they understand that the Business Community of Atascadero is essential to the City, and the Council continually strives to work together with business owners towards supporting a vibrant place for residents to work and shop. The City’s Small Business Emergency Assistance Grant Fund Program was designed to support small businesses impacted by the financial impacts of the most recent regional stay at home order.
Back on Dec. 15, 2020, the City Council passed a Resolution authorizing the use of $250,000 from the City’s General Fund to provide small business grants for Atascadero businesses that are significantly impacted by the state’s most recent regional stay-at-home order that went into effect on Dec. 6, 2020. The deadline to submit for the Grant was Monday, Jan. 4, at noon. The applications have all been reviewed; within one week of the submittal deadline, the City worked diligently to get assistance checks processed so that many local businesses can receive the emergency funds. Atascadero Mayor Heather Moreno said, “We are very happy to be able to offer some financial assistance to so many local businesses during this very difficult time. We remain committed to working together with all Atascadero business owners to help ensure they remain a viable and active members of our community. The City is grateful to the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce and their fundraising efforts put towards this assistance fund, which enabled the City to send more checks out today than we originally planned.” The Atascadero Chamber of Commerce was instrumental in reaching out to the community to request donations to add to the Small Business Assistance
Grant. These generous donations provided a unique opportunity to fund more of the businesses that applied. City Management said in a statement, “The Chamber’s ability to assist with getting the information out and keep the Grant opportunity top-of-mind along with the request for folks to donate! Thank you to everyone who donated additional funds to the Grant. We value and appreciate our partnership with the Chamber and the collaborative efforts of everyone involved in this process.” The City Council states they understand that the COVID-19 restrictions have been devastating to not just those businesses receiving these small grants but also for many of the other small businesses here in Atascadero. They are encouraging the community to get out and support our small businesses in a COVID safe manner. Whether that be shopping at your favorite retailer or ordering take-out from your favorite restaurant or brewery, now is the time to support local. A list of the grant recipients was not released to the public at this time. If you have questions about the Small Business Emergency Assistance Grant application, please call (805)461-5035 or email covidgrant@atascadero.org.

2020 Could Not Stop San Miguel CSD By ASHLEY SANGSTER AND ANTHONY KALVANS SAN MIGUEL — While many communities have struggled in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns, the San Miguel Community Services District (SMCSD) has taken this time to move forward to serve the community better. With a special focus on meaningful items that make a difference, including community safety, beautification, community support, administrative changes, and planning the future of San Miguel. For community safety, the district is adding temporary housing to support the Fire Department duty officer coverage as well as a Sheriff ’s beat station to provide enhanced safety and security. This longsought-after facility will improve emergency response times for all call types. In addition,
the district purchased a brand-new wildland fire engine at a significantly reduced cost, saving the taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars. The new engine is a significant addition to the existing fleet and will enable our firefighters to better protect the community from wildland fires that happen at the edge of town, in the river, or anywhere needed in the community. For beautification, the district has moved to take a serious stance on illegal dumping and has had a successful year cleaning up mattresses. The district was able to recycle over 70 mattresses. Other efforts included taking over maintenance of the downtown landscaping and gateway signs at no additional cost to the taxpayers. Thanks to the district’s management, they were able to cut water usage from community landscaping by over 60 percent. For community support, the district
moved quickly at the beginning of the pandemic, offering support to struggling families and businesses. The firefighters adopted trash clean up on Mission Street and partnered with the FDAV church to give away food boxes throughout the pandemic. The district also saw its ISO Rating improve and encourages those with property insurance to check if they qualify for a lower insurance rate. Several new utility projects are also slated to break ground later this year. The board has also undergone significant changes from previous boards. Nearly every board member has served less than two years and make up the most diverse board in SMCSDs history. The members come from an extremely broad range of backgrounds covering age, ethnicity, and job professions. In an effort to ensure transparency and
accountability, the current board also took steps to be held accountable by instituting a yearly board performance analysis and became one of the first agencies in the county to institute automatic pay freezes for board members if the district encounters a financial crisis. Future pay increases for the board will also need to go to the public for a vote. Looking towards the future, the board has already started a process of continual review of financial resources and developed a plan to stabilize the San Miguel portion of the water basin, and kicked off strategic planning, which will ensure that the SMCSD is prepared to lead the community into the future. 2021 is looking to be an exciting year for our district and community.

LOCAL NEWS DECISION 2020
Biden to be Sworn in as the 46th President of the United States after the Certification of the Electoral College Ten House Republicans join Democrats to impeach President Trump on charges of “incitement of an insurrection” By HAYLEY MATTSON WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congress confirmed the election of Joe Biden as President-elect early Thursday morning on Jan. 7, the day after rioters invaded the U.S. Capitol in a chaotic effort to protest the electoral vote. The confirmation came after the House and Senate rejected some Republicans’ objection to the acceptance of Electoral College wins for Biden in Arizona and Pennsylvania due to what they called numerous “voting irregularities.” Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris hit 306 votes in the Electoral College, 36 more than needed to secure a White House victory. President Trump received 232 votes. Vice President Mike Pence read off the tallies at around 3:40 a.m. ET. He gaveled the session closed at about 3:44 a.m. The certification of an Electoral College win is a formality by Congress, enshrined in the Constitution. Congress began the
process of counting Electoral College votes on Wednesday, Jan. 5, in the early afternoon. The day’s proceedings were interrupted for approximately six hours by rioters who stormed the Capitol Building. Reports show they forced their way in anger over President Donald Trump’s loss in the election and their belief that he was the victim of ballot fraud. In a video statement released from President Trump amidst the chaos that afternoon, he said, “We have to have peace; we have to have law and order; we have to respect our great people in law and order.” The count resumed at about 8 p.m. ET Wednesday after a woman who was among the invaders was shot and killed by Capitol Police during the riot. Three other people, including an officer, died from medical emergencies; all deaths and crimes are currently under investigation. Directly following the violence and destruction that took place at the Capitol, there have been calls of arrest and justice made by several government officials that are in the process of being reviewed, including a second impeachment hearing of President Trump. On Jan. 8, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated in a press conference, “in calling for this seditious act the president has committed an unspeakable assault on our
nation and our people and must be held accountable.” Pelosi then called on Vice President Pence to immediately invoke the 25th Amendment, and if he and the Cabinet refused, she stated that Congress would be ready to move forward with impeachment. The “seditious act” that Pelosi is referring to is that she, along with several other government officials and the democratic party, believes that President Trump initiated the riot on the Capitol after holding a “Save America” rally earlier that day in Washington, D.C. In response to the riots, the White House Press Secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, released a statement, “I am here to deliver this message on behalf of the entire White House. Let me be clear: The violence we saw yesterday at our Nation’s Capitol was appalling, reprehensible, and antithetical to the American way. We condemn it — the President and this administration — in the strongest possible terms. It is unacceptable, and those that broke the law should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I stood here at this podium the day after a historic church burned amid violent riots, and I said this: “The First Amendment guarantees the right of the people to peaceably assemble. “What we saw last night in Washington and across the country was not that.” End quote. Make no mistake:
What we saw in the halls of our Capitol, likewise, was not that.” In a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding the call to invoke the 25th Amendment, Vice President Pence stated, “Every American was shocked and saddened by the attack on our Nation’s Capitol last week, and I am grateful for the leadership that you and other congressional leaders provided in reconvening Congress to complete the people’s business on the very same day. It was a moment that demonstrated to the American people the unity that is still possible in Congress when it is needed most. But now, with just eight days left in the President’ s term, you and the Democratic Caucus are demanding that the Cabinet and I invoke the 25th Amendment. I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with our Constitution. Last week, I did not yield to pressure to exert power beyond my constitutional authority to determine the outcome of the election, and I will not now yield to efforts in the House of Representatives to play political games at a time so serious in the life of our Nation.” Large Social Media companies such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and others, have permanently banned or indefinitely suspended President Trump’s accounts. Facebook CEO Mark Zuck-
erberg explained the decision, as well as the extended block on President Trump’s accounts, are in place “indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete.” On Wednesday, Jan. 13, the House of Representatives began their discussions as to whether or not to move forward with a possible impeachment of President Trump. Speaker of the House Pelosi appointed the honorable Anthony G. Brown to act as Speaker Pro-temporary in her absence. At the end of the discussion, ten House Republicans joined Democrats to impeach President Trump on charges of “incitement of an insurrection,” making him the first president in U.S. history to be impeached twice. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell suggested that the trial could occur as early as Jan. 19, which is President Trump’s last day in office. The inauguration for Joe Biden to be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States, and Kamala Harris as Vice President will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 20. The start of their four-year term. A public ceremony is scheduled on the West Front of the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. A state of emergency has been signed to ensure that the National Guard and additional security will be present on that day.

Cal Poly’s 12th CubeSat Mission Will Make its Way into Space on Jan. 13 ExoCube 2 is among ten small satellites flying aboard Virgin Orbit’s LauncherOne rocket that takes off under the wing of a Boeing 747 before being dropped and fired into orbit STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — A Cal Poly CubeSat will ride on Wednesday, Jan. 13, aboard Virgin Orbit’s LauncherOne rocket on its second attempt to reach space. The rocket includes nine other NASA-sponsored small satellites on the space agency’s next Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) mission. This is the first payload carried by Virgin Orbit’s rocket that will be carried aloft under the wing of a modified Boeing 747 to an altitude of 35,000 feet, released and fired into orbit. The mothership jet, named Cosmic Girl, will take off from Mojave Air and Space Port, which will release the two-stage LauncherOne off the coast of Southern California. The launch window is 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Pacific Time, “with additional windows throughout January if needed,” the company announced. “The mission includes ExoCube 2, a satellite about the size of a loaf of bread that was built over several years by a group of about 50 multidisciplinary Cal Poly students,” said advisor Pauline Faure, an aerospace engineering assistant professor in the College of Engineering. “The mission is scientific in nature,” Faure said, “and aims to acquire data on ions’ mass and density in the exosphere,” the uppermost region of Earth’s atmosphere as it gradually fades into the vacuum of space. “To execute the mission,” Faure added, “NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center developed a spectrometer, and the Cal Poly
CubeSat Laboratory team was tasked to design, develop, manufacture, assemble and test the supporting elements of the spacecraft system — structure, power system, communication, flight software, etc. The students were definitely the driver of the project execution and deserve the full credit of the incredible work they achieved.” Once Cal Poly’s 12th CubeSat achieves orbit, a student team will use the campus CubeSat Lab ground station to download scientific data from the spacecraft and share it with their counterparts at the University of Wisconsin and the University of Illinois who are responsible for its interpretation. ExoCube 2’s mission is to expand knowledge of the composition and the current state of activity in the thin exosphere atmosphere, some 600 km (370 miles) above sea level. The data will be useful in better predicting space weather phenomena in order to forecast potential effects of ions on satellite communications and spacecraft performance. The three-unit CubeSat is a relaunch of the original ExoCube, which launched in early 2015 but suffered from antenna problems. ExoCube 2 underwent a complete redesign of the antenna deployment mechanisms. This will also be Virgin Orbit’s second attempt to reach orbit. The “Launch Demo 2” mission was delayed from mid-December because COVID-19 contact tracing led to a round of “precautionary quarantines” of the company’s personnel. Quarantines meant the company had “fallen below the number of staff we feel we

For the past few years, Virgin Orbit has been developing and testing its unique launch system, which involves using the refitted Virgin Atlantic 747 to carry a rocket nearly 7 miles high. The rocket is released, and its engine ignites following a 4-second drop. After an engine burn and stage separa-

City Completes $1.5 Million Roadway Sealing Project STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — The City of San Luis Obispo announced it has successfully completed its 2020 roadway sealing project, which revitalized and enhanced the safety of more than 19 miles of roads throughout the City. The sealing project kicked off in July 2020 and wrapped up this month. The project involved applying a slurry sealant and new striping to a variety of roads located throughout the City. Among the neighborhoods and streets that received the makeover are Buchon, Calle Joaquin, Granada, High, Islay, Leff, Oceanaire, Margarita, Peach, Pismo, Sandercock, and South. The Bob Jones Bike Trail between Prado and Los Osos Valley Road, as well as the Emerson Park Parking Lot, also underwent sealing and striping. “We would like to thank community members for their patience and support during this important project,” said Public Works Director Matt Horn. “The slurry seal revitalized the existing asphalt, bridging cracks and providing an all-weather driving surface, while new striping enhanced safety and multi-modal transportation.” Specific project features, which were funded
tions, LauncherOne will deliver its payload to orbit, while Cosmic Girl returns to the Mojave Air and Space Port airstrip. It’s the same facility where Cal Poly alumnus Burt Rutan (aerospace engineering, ’65) developed and launched SpaceShipOne — the world’s first privately built aircraft to reach space in 2004. This will also be the NASA’s ELaNa mission No. 20. The Educational Launch of Nanosatellites program was started
in 2010 to attract and retain students in STEM — science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. Managed by the Launch Services Program at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, ELaNa introduces educational spaceflight to high schools and colleges across the nation. Cal Poly’s last ELaNa satellite was LEO, or Launch Environment Observer, a two-unit CubeSat launched in June of 2019 aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from NASA’s historic Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A low-cost platform for agency missions, CubeSats and other small satellites are playing a larger role in space exploration, technology demonstration, scientific research, and educational investigations at NASA. The other nine CubeSats on this mission were designed and built by seven other universities in the United States, as well as one NASA center. NASA selected and sponsored Cal Poly and the other providers through the agency’s CubeSat Launch Initiative. By offering small satellite developers a relatively low-cost avenue to conduct scientific investigations and technology demonstrations in space, NASA gives K-12 schools, universities, and nonprofit organizations hands-on flight hardware development experience. “The journey to this launch has been long and challenging,” said Scott Higginbotham, ELaNa 20 mission manager. “Our CubeSat developers have invested much of themselves in their spacecraft, and I know they’ll all be thrilled to see them fly later this month.”

SLO County Public Health Provides ICU Bed Capacity on Readyslo.org Currently, 61% of Local Hospital ICU Beds Available STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — San Luis Obispo County Office of Public Health announced that community members now have access to more information to better understand how COVID19 is impacting the local health care system. The County Public Health
Department is now providing data showing local ICU bed capacity on ReadySLO.org. As of Jan. 12, San Luis Obispo County currently has 61 percent of the ICU beds available for patients. “We are always trying to improve the information we provide to the public in order to help them understand the local situation, and this is part of that effort,” said Dr. Penny Borenstein, the County Public Health Officer. “While at this time the ICU capacity in SLO County is
better than in the Southern California Region, our local COVID19 situation is getting worse, and the risk of getting or spreading COVID-19 is higher than it has ever been.” After Public Health Officials consulted with local hospitals, the County adjusted the total ICU beds metric from 53 total licensed ICU beds to show 38 licensed and staffed ICU beds. Previously, it included all licensed beds regardless of whether they could be staffed. Dr. Borenstein gave no further details as to why
the hospitals are no longer staffed to hold the 53 total licensed ICU bed capacity. “The hospital ICU information we’re providing is based on data provided by local hospitals to the County Public Health Department. We plan to update it daily,” Dr. Borenstein said. As of Jan. 12, SLO County reported a total of 14,233 cases, 3,180 active, 10,911 recovered, and 115 deaths. Currently, 42 patients are hospitalized due to COVID-19, 11 of whom require intensive care.
“Help us stop the surge,” Dr. Borenstein said. “Avoid social gatherings, wear your face covering when out in public, stay home if you’re sick, and stay home for at least 10 days if you have been exposed to COVID-19.” For more information, visit ReadySLO.org or call the recorded Public Health Information Line at (805)788-2903.

COVID-19 UPDATE
COVID-19 Related Deaths Total 115 Since March 2020 STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — The County of San Luis Obispo reports that the total number of deaths since the start of the pandemic almost a year ago in March reaches 115. The County reported that this milestone comes less than two weeks after the winter holiday season. “This virus has claimed more than 100 local lives,” said Dr. Penny Borenstein, County Health Officer. “Those are mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, children and grandparents who were not ready to die and whose deaths were, in fact, preventable.” There is no doubt that the pandemic has brought hardship and despair to families, hospitals, and health care workers who take care of those that are ill. Remaining diligent to social distancing, washing your hands, and wearing a mask will continue to help “slow the spread,” according to health officials. The month of December brought the
highest record of active SLO County cases at 4,806. December 2020 also reported the highest number of deaths during the pandemic, when the County confirmed 44 deaths involving COVID-19. According to County health officials, they are awaiting confirmation that an additional 28 individuals have died of COVID-19 related illnesses but have not yet confirmed whether COVID-19 in fact caused those deaths. “This disease is not leaving our community unscathed,” said Wade Horton, County Administrative Officer. “The virus continues to take a toll on loved, vulnerable members of San Luis Obispo County.” In a Press Release on Jan. 5 from Horton and Dr. Borenstein, states that “COVID-19 is now the no. 1 cause of death not only in the U.S. but in our county as well.” According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), updated on Dec. 23, the leading cause of death in the United States was heart disease, with deaths reaching almost 600k in 2020, the second being cancer at 523,775 and COVID-19
STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — As of Jan. 8, more than 8,000 SLO County residents have been vaccinated against COVID-19. The County Public Health Department reported they have received more than 12,200 vaccine doses, which includes first and second doses. Additionally, health care partners have also given over 4,000 doses of the vaccine directly to hospital staff, longterm care facilities, and staff at Atascadero State Hospital and the California Men’s Colony. The County Public Health Department reports it has the capability to vaccinate up to 3,250 people each week (650 people per day, five days per week) and is planning to open two more vaccine clinics later in January. The County is rapidly progressing through Phase 1a of vaccinations and anticipates being able to start vaccinating the next group of residents, including adults over 75 and critical infrastructure workers, by February. “Locally, we are getting this vaccine to as many people as we possibly can as fast as we can,” said Dr. Penny Borenstein, County Health Officer. “To help us, the SLO County COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force met for the first time yesterday to discuss local vaccine distribution, taking guidance from the CDC and State into consideration alongside comments and concerns from the public.” The SLO County COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force, which is scheduled to meet weekly, comprises local leaders from each sector of our community and is working to ensure that high-risk/vulnerable community members have quick and equitable access to the vaccine. The task force includes first responders (Emergency Management Services, the Fire Department, law enforcement), hospitals, bioethicists, community health centers, faith leaders, racial equity groups (NAACP, Promotores), disability service organizations, multilingual organizations, senior citizens, the unhoused, Transitions Mental Health Association, and essential sectors, such as education, agriculture, utilities, and transportation.

Publisher’s Note
Reports state that the suspect Daniel Marcom, a 51-year-old transient from San Luis Obispo, became angry with the patient he was sharing a hospital room with. Unprovoked, Marcom brandished a knife, threatened to harm the victim, and uttered a racial epithet at the victim, causing the Police to be called. Earlier prior to the incident, the doctor treating Marcom had asked him to be quiet; Marcom’s response was to threaten the doctor and uttered a racial epithet directed at the doctor.
When officers arrived, the situation had stabilized, and no argument was occurring. After the officer’s investigation, Marcom was arrested on two counts of criminal threats (hate crime) and brandishing a knife. He was transported to San Luis Obispo County jail without incident and booked. Marcom’s charges are listed as (2) PC 422, (2) PC 422.6, PC 417, and bail is set at $50,000.

SAN LUIS OBISPO — District Attorney Dan Dow announced today, Jan. 12, that David Rodriguez Hernandez (44) has been sentenced to state prison for his involvement in the 2013 shooting death of Victor Hugo Sanchez (37). According to the plea agreement, a San Luis Obispo County Superior Court Judge sentenced Hernandez to serve 24 years and 8 months in state prison for his involvement in the 2013 shooting death of Sanchez in Paso Robles as a part of a conspiracy with several other individuals. The victim’s ex-girlfriend Maria del Carmen Granados Fajardo, who was prosecuted and sentenced to 21 years to life in 2014, paid to
have Sanchez injured and later killed. David Rodriguez Hernandez was convicted as one of the individuals hired to injure and kidnap Sanchez. Three other suspects are still on the run. Sanchez was first assaulted on Oct. 6, 2012, with a tire iron, which resulted in a broken nose and arm. Then on Feb. 23, 2013, the hired group returned to kidnap and shoot Sanchez in the knees. However, the victim resisted and was shot multiple times in a parking lot of a Paso Robles apartment building, resulting in his death. On Jun. 29, 2018, David Rodriguez Hernandez was arrested in Mexico and extradited to face prosecution after being on the run for more than five years.
Several law enforcement and immigration agencies were involved in the extradition of Hernandez, who was booked into the San Luis Obispo County Jail on Jan. 30, 2019. On Nov. 30, 2020, Hernandez was convicted by plea of conspiracy, robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, and voluntary manslaughter. Hernandez also admitted using a firearm during the homicide. Then yesterday, Jan. 11, Superior Court Judge Jacquelyn Duffy sentenced Hernandez to 24 years and 8 months in state prison for the convictions. “This office and our local law enforcement will always continue to pursue justice by seeking and apprehending those responsible, even when they flee our jurisdiction,” said District Attorney
Dan Dow. “This case is an example of our commitment to holding offenders accountable no matter where they go and try to hide.” Three others have been charged in the killing of Sanchez, have active arrest warrants for murder, and are considered armed and dangerous. They include: • Edgar Ontiveros (DOB 03/09/1995) • Louis Henry Madrigal (DOB 01/19/1994) • A l e j a n d r o B e n j a min Anguiano (DOB 05/13/1994) The District Attorney’s Office is seeking the public’s assistance in locating these fugitives. If you have any information, please call the District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation at (805)781-4171.

Our Jan. 6 Electoral Vote Coverage
nic & hayley mattson
T
PUBLISHERS
he year 2020 will be documented as one of the most challenging and divided years in American History. Over the past year, we watched America burn. Images of rioters standing in the midst of flames with protesting fists held high were distributed around mainstream media with notations that these would be the images that children in American schools would see in their history books as if it were a proud moment of change for the country. Many of us cringed as the media excused the behaviors of rioters and equated the burning of innocent people’s livelihoods to necessary social change. Doctors signed letters claiming that the social change occurring
was more important than the potential spread of coronavirus, which was still a significant threat to public health. We asked ourselves what kind of world we were living in where these actions could be labeled “mostly peaceful.” These weren’t attacks on authoritarian regimes bent on the oppression of would-be free Americans. These were attacks on neighborhoods and people that had nothing to do with police violence. The summer of 2020 was filled with destruction, murder, and chaos. Last Thursday, we ran a story about the besieging of the U.S. Capitol building. The article started as a day that many had waited to witness as the electoral college would certify the next President of the United States and the incoming Administration. Protests outside the Capitol were being reported, and many individuals had entered by committing violence and destruction. As photos and reports show, many others were let in by the Capitol Police. At the time we went to press, noted in the article, it was 5 p.m. ET there were a few scuffles between police and
rioters. There were also people simply milling about the Capitol building as if it were the first time they had ever been inside. Some were snapping selfies with Capitol Police. It was mostly peaceful. In fact, videos of people who entered the Capitol showed them picking up trash left behind by others. So, mostly peaceful, but at what cost? Not only should we prosecute the criminals, but we should also protect the innocent, and we should prevent crime where we find it likely. That is why we “Back the Blue.” The alternative is not so desirable even if the criminal justice system needs change — which we firmly agree it does. There was a violent element to our reality, and it led to death and destruction. It happened over the summer, and it happened on Jan. 6 at the capitol. At the time we published our article on Thursday, a woman had been shot, but it was reported at the time she was alive and not in critical condition. No other injuries had been reported at that time. We do not support one single violent protest over the past year, nor do we support
any violence period. We were appalled and dismayed over the summer and appalled and dismayed about Jan. 6. At the time of our print edition last week, a person who trespassed into the capitol building was shot. That didn’t seem like an unlikely or violent situation. Indeed, she was breaking the law, climbing through a window into a space where a man was clearly pointing a gun at her. We do not blame the officer for taking the shot. It was a chaotic and dangerous situation, and from the video footage, it seemed that he warned her plenty of times. She was a threat to his safety, and he neutralized it. As Americans, we authorize the use of deadly force to protect the innocent. Violent and threatening people are often shot. In 2019, almost a thousand people were killed by police in America under varying circumstances. Investigations should be conducted. Justice should be had in every death. We owe our community that effort. We also owe our communities protection. The Mayor of Washington, D.C. is reported
to have declined the assistance offered prior to the Jan. 6 protest by the National Guard and the FBI. Over the summer, similar refusals were made by states who were under violent riot. As nonpartisans, my wife and I have witnessed death and destruction all over our nation that has been the result of a failure of those partisans entrusted to provide for the common welfare. Police have been told to stand down in the face of violent protesters. When they take action, they have been demonized and criticized. As nonpartisans, we watch each side defend itself as if the political agenda or grievance they support is worthy of destruction and death. Media has played cover for both sides. Now, this. We are ashamed by the actions on Jan. 6, just as we have been ashamed of the actions all over the country in 2020, including those here in San Luis Obispo County. Many events have been peaceful, and those are constitutionally protected under the first amendment. But peaceful and “mostly peaceful” are two extremes. One is protected, and

We missed traveling this year with our girls, but we created a beautiful home experience in our backyard, memories we would have never made without the shutdown.” Another example is my neighbor, a former high school teacher, who withdrew her three children from the school district to homeschool them. She transformed her formerly decorated living room into a schoolroom/ activity room where ongoing projects don’t need to be picked up or put away. Replacing the sofa, coffee table, and nice art pieces to now a permanent Lego table, a craft table, and large dry erase boards on the walls, easels, individual desks, and supplies. I see the recent artwork creations of her kids taped to the front windows. One of parent’s biggest
challenges this year has been how to keep your kids physically active and outdoors. You parents all know intrinsically that kids were not created to sit in front of a screen all day. In response, the best selling outdoor items last year were trampolines, bikes, and scooters, with swimming pools and family dogs as new additions at many homes. But there are plenty of ways to get outdoors here without spending money. One young family made it a project to visit every park in the county, keeping track of what they like best about each park, with the goal of choosing “The Park of the Year” for a big party when this is over. Another family is doing weekly ‘Pier Picnics’ at our five local piers. And how about the great stories of grandparent participation through various media? Timbersmith John Vial recorded stories along with his banjo playing to send to his grandchildren
in Alaska. I’ve heard from other grandmas who teach ‘In the Kitchen with Granny’ on Zoom and one who gives grandchildren piano lessons on FaceTime. We have all really missed live music. This has motivated creating music at home. One family got “Folk Songs of the United States” California States series school songbooks from AbeBooks.com for about $6.00 and has spent the shutdown singing through every song in the book! On a more serious level, there is the challenge of creating a positive atmosphere in your home during a time of universal angst. In each of our personal worlds, we have a ‘sphere of concern’ and ‘sphere of influence’, as explained by a psychologist friend. Sphere of concern is general national and world events out of your control, while sphere of influence is the area of your life in which you actually have the ability to direct energy, focus, and control.

VALENTINA PETROVA COMMENTARY
A
ny time is a good time to change your life. A new year may have a nice ring to it, but we know how that went in 2020. It revealed the fault lines of our resilience, preparedness, discipline, and survival skills. Perhaps, we’ve softened up
and got spoiled with conveniences and comfort, forgetting the challenges passed generations endured so we can afford the luxury of feeling sorry for ourselves when we don’t get what we want. Consider these three mindset shifts for your 2021 and beyond. Act as if you are the subject of a documentary about you. Pretend a film crew follows you around and documents your every step. What do you think people watching the movie will say about you? Would you want your children to see it? If you want to improve your life, don’t just talk and think about it. Do it.
Don’t dabble in self-improvement. Write down your goals and get busy doing what you need to do to get there. Track your progress so you know where you’ve been and how far you have to go. If you don’t write things down, you are not likely to ever do them. If you don’t do what you have to do to get to where you have to go, you will feel like a loser. You won’t like yourself. You will complain and blame. No one likes a complainer and a blamer. Stop seeking comfort. Give up on the idea that the world is fair, that fairness means comfort, ease, and satisfaction. Fairness means that you
have an equal opportunity as everyone else to do with yourself what you want to. Seeking comfort will get you bored and complacent, sitting on a couch and hating the world. We’ve evolved to solve problems, struggle with challenges, be active seekers, makers, and creators. We must seek lessons and work on difficult tasks to feel alive, engaged, and happy. We’ve evolved from hunters and gatherers who battled the elements, learned to survive, build shelter, cooperate, find food, and raise their children amid uncertainty and danger. The same reward mechanisms are encoded in our DNA. By doing difficult things, we
grow. We find fulfillment and purpose. Working hard toward something challenging is uncomfortable, but you’ll have a better day applying yourself and accomplishing something. You will become a better person and end up better off. Just show up no matter what. Discipline helps you get things done, even when you don’t like doing them. Just do something. Put one foot in front of the other on the path to your goal. Lose one pound. Write one page. Walk one mile, even if you feel lazy. Just show up. If you wait to feel like it, for a better day, for the right environment, you will work out twice a year and
the other is a crime. It is interesting to hear people defend some crimes and decry other crimes based on their political position. Most of us are completely peaceful, understand our constitutional Bill of Rights, and enjoy them. They end where they infringe on another. In California, our constitution includes the defense of property as an inalienable right. We have been assaulted for a year or more, and it is time to reckon with your support of violence. Violence is not a constitutional right but in the defense of your own life. There are people in our world who are not peaceful, or “mostly peaceful,” which is synonymous. We should not, as a country, tolerate “mostly peaceful” protests. The constitution protects our right to free speech, practice of religion, peaceable assembly, and redress of grievances — we should never put them under threat by confusing them with “mostly peaceful” activities. If you were upset by our reporting of the facts on Thursday, we completely agree with you.
sphere of influence is the family within your home and perhaps a few others. This is where you truly make a difference. Many of you have said that turning off the news and concentrating on just your sphere of influence has helped create a healthier mindset for you and your children. Philosophically, this is a rare moment in time to teach your children those things you want them to know, things they won’t learn in school: values, faith, courage, tenacity, and bravery. Teach your children what you know to be good, right, and true. And within your sphere of influence, you can start each day with the Flag salute, a song, or whatever else you think of to lift spirits.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s WILL and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The WILL and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 02/09/21 at 9:00AM in Dept. 9 located at 1050 MONTEREY STREET, SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA 93408 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

e know we have a homeless problem in our area, but it’s good to know that an organization exists to deal with the issue. El Camino Homeless Organization, or ECHO, as we know it, is just that organization. I receive the monthly newsletter so I can keep up to date. When I read the following excerpt from the letter, I felt it was worth repeating. It read, “The program at ECHO is designed to help people address the factors that caused them to become homeless and find permanent jobs and housing and provide life skills training to prevent a return of homelessness in their lives. For this reason and more, our clients are truly champions of dedication and resolve, to overcome the obstacles in their lives to find permanent housing.” The services of ECHO in 2020 provided shelter to 203 individuals (including 40 children); transitioned 50 individuals and families into permanent housing; facilitated 30 employments; provided

had to be really good at estimating weights.

about 1,600 pounds, but they weighed closer to a ton. I ordered one truck when I needed two! I usually bought the cattle under US Cattle Company to fly under everyone’s radar, and in most instances, I’d go up to the breeder afterward and offer them back their cattle if they didn’t want me to have them, but 95% of the time they thanked me for taking them off their hands. In one case, I discovered why the breeder was so enthused about me buying his bulls. The best lesson I got in this game was I couldn’t use the weights that were printed in the sale catalog. In this case, I figured my prices based on those weights, but when I weighed them off the truck after a fivemile haul to the nearest auction barn, they’d somehow shrunk 29 percent. Ouch! I almost lost money on that one. During the ‘70s and ‘80s, many purebred breeders were different than they are now. A large percentage were neophytes who liked the purebred cattle game only for the big tax breaks it generated. My arbitrage scheme wouldn’t work now because purebred breeders are much too

smart and because prices are so high. Even with a good slaughter market, it’s tough to pencil a profit on a $7,000 slaughter bull! I usually sent my purchases to an auction market close by, where I probably knew the owner. I sent six bulls to my buddy Arkie to sell in the slaughter run at Socorro, but he ended up selling them as range bulls at a much higher price. That happened a lot and was fine with me. As a result of all this trading, I collected a huge stack of registration papers from a plethora of breed associations for bulls that never got a chance to contribute to the gene pool. One time I got a letter from a breed association congratulating me for buying a “Pathfinder Cow” that was deader than a jaywalking armadillo by the time I got the letter. And you can imagine my level of discomfort when a conscientious purebred breeder called me a year after I’d bought eight bulls at his auction and wanted to see how his bulls were holding up.

I’m continuing with soup recipes even though we may have some weather in the 70s for a few days. The days may be a bit warmer, but the evenings are still cooler when a warm cup of soup takes the chill off.
feel strongly compelled to write an article on the biblical responsibility we have as Christians to be orderly, law-abiding citizens in our great nation. I have been very upset at the rioting and destruction of public and private property in our nation’s cities prior to the presidential election. These were not PEACEFUL protests that we constitutionally have a right to make. This kind of activity was unlawful, riotous, and done by people who hated President Trump and everything we stand
for as patriotic Americans. I’m 75 years old, and I have never seen such political hatred and intolerance in my lifetime. From a preacher’s point of view, I consider this kind of behavior as SINFUL. As a conservative Christian and Republican, I’m ashamed and disgusted with the unlawful and riotous behavior of my fellow Republicans who broke into federal buildings and treated police officers with total disrespect. As I watched this activity on TV, I was stunned with disbelief. How could any law-abiding, patriotic American act like this? In my opinion, I can’t think of a worse way to end a presidential election. This is not the behavior that an American should ever display and then falsely call it a manifestation of freedom. I personally believe that such criminal activity should be punished. I was so thankful that my President, Donald Trump, publicly condemned the activity
of those rioters. I honestly believe that it is totally unjustifiable to condone and attempt to justify such deplorable actions with any excuse. I believe that a patriotic American who loves our country is first and foremost a LAW ABIDING Citizen. The Bible is very clear concerning how a citizen of any country should behave. Jesus taught that we are to render to Caesar (government) the things due from a good citizen and unto God the things that are due Him (Matthew 22:21). From the time of the Reformation, Baptists have believed in the separation of church and State. A Christian has responsibilities to fulfill to both God and government. The apostle Paul clearly taught that Christians are to submit to the authority of government officials who are responsible to maintain law and order and punish evil doers (Romans 13:1-7). The apostle Peter also taught Christian
to respect and obey governmental laws and those in authority (1 Peter 2:13-14). It is abundantly obvious from these various scriptures that a Christian who is a citizen of any country is to be a law-abiding citizen. Disobedience to these scriptures is sinful. The biblical grounds for any civil disobedience are only justifiable when governmental laws attempt to make a Christian disobey God’s holy Word. (Acts, 4:1-20). However, according to the Bible, civil disobedience never justifies disorderly, rebellious, riotous activities. My prayer to God for every citizen of America is to always be a Law Abiding person who only protests according to his constitutional right as a freedom-loving and peaceful citizen.

Human Trafficking Task Force Social Media and Human Trafficking By SLO COUNTY ANTI-HUMAN TRAFFICKING TASK FORCE BOARD
S
ocial media is a double-edged sword that has become a central and consistent theme in human trafficking and exploitation related investigations. On one hand, social media unites us. It connects us to loved ones near and far, helps us stay in touch, and keeps us engaged in the twentyfour-hour news cycle. On the other hand, social media has become an area of the internet where traffickers and exploiters have a seemingly endless supply of potential victims to contact, groom, and manipulate for their personal and financial benefit. In San Luis Obispo County, there have been multiple instances in 2020 alone where exploiters have contacted victims via a variety of social media platforms and engaged in criminal activity that have led to criminal investigations into human trafficking, pandering, and solicitation of child pornography. Social media is a very real threat to our children, and as stated in previous columns, there is more danger to our local children of being contacted by a trafficker on social media than on our local streets. There are some common signs that parents and guardians can be attentive to in order to minimize the likelihood of their children being contacted and groomed by a trafficker or exploiter on the internet. These signs or red flags include: • A child being secretive about the content of their internet searches or secretive about their social media accounts and “followers” or “friends.” It is a good practice to only ”follow” or be “friends” with someone that is personally known to us. Being connected to someone on social media that is not actually known to the child and parent(s) opens the opportunity for predators to establish unhealthy and unwanted inappropriate contact. • A child wanting to spend unhealthy and unreasonable amounts of time on the internet or on social media platforms. While it is not necessarily out of the ordinary for a child to want more screen time, when the demand to be online becomes obsessive and leads to unreasonable reactions, it may be a concern worth paying attention to. The sad reality is that predators know our children are online more these days because of COVID concerns and distance learning, and as a result, predators are using it to their advantage. • A child quickly switching the computer screen when a parent or adult approaches them. Deceptive behavior can be a significant red flag that is worth paying attention to, particularly if
other warning signs are present. It is a good practice to have a child’s internet and social media access in open, accessible rooms, and not behind closed doors. Having access to a child’s account and knowing passwords can be a good way to supervise a child’s online activity. This allows for more consistent supervision and can help mitigate any potential problems that may arise. • A child receiving gifts or coming into possession of items that they either should not have or were not purchased for them by loved ones or friends. Some very common grooming tactics include showering a victim with gifts or providing electronics or other items they would not normally be able to afford. In addition, predators and traffickers are masters at providing praise and showering a child or victim with verbal affirmation. Traffickers are master manipulators and are well versed in finding a person’s weaknesses and vulnerabilities and exploiting them to their benefit. This often includes finding a person’s perceived emotional or physical shortcomings and filling that void with feigned affection, verbal support, and affirmation, all in an effort to manipulate a person into complete allegiance to a trafficker or exploiter. • A child using terminology that is not age-appropriate. If a child has a vocabulary or uses terminology that is not age-appropriate and is primarily sexual in nature, it may be a red flag that is worth investigating. Often, traffickers or exploiters will use terminology that is specific to the illicit sex industry or may be some sort of code. As in most illicit subcultures, there is terminology that is specific to the human trafficking world. One aspect of this language is seen through the use of emojis. The illicit sex subculture has turned otherwise innocent emojis into a nefarious manner of communication. A simple internet search query for secret emoji language can be helpful in deciphering the more sinister nature of what could appear as an otherwise innocent communication through the emojis we all see every day on our electronic devices. It is important to know that there is no single social media internet platform that is solely used by traffickers and exploiters. In San Luis Obispo County, detectives from the Counter Human Trafficking Team have investigated human trafficking-related cases on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and the gaming platform Fortnite. While these platforms are some of the bigger names in the social media world, it is important to know that there are many more platforms in use daily by traffickers and exploiters. Some lesser-known applications such as Moco-
space, Kik, WhatsApp, Discord, and others are just as dangerous to our children as they provide an avenue for exploitation if not properly supervised. Just as it is incumbent on law enforcement investigators to stay on top of social media trends, it is equally important for parents, guardians, educators, and anyone with a stake in raising children to be aware of the ever-evolving world of the internet, social media, and gaming platforms. Traffickers and exploiters have an endless supply of internet platforms to recruit, exploit, and sell victims, and it is important that we stay in step with the traffickers to protect our children and loved ones. It is critical that we are aware that there is danger on the internet and generally know the signs of the type of behavior a trafficker or exploiter may engage in. Aside from being aware of a trafficker’s tactics, it is just as important that adults have an open dialogue with the loved ones in their lives and have a frank discussion about the dangers of social media and the internet. It is necessary that we, as adults, are aware of the true danger that the internet can pose and relay that to our loved ones in an accurate, informed manner. It is vital that we are not only aware of the dangers but also monitor and supervise our children while they are on the internet. Our children should be trained not to share sensitive information online, particularly with people they do not know. We need to teach our children to never meet up with someone they met on the internet and that any suspected abuse or suspected criminal activity should be reported to law enforcement or a trusted adult. Education on the issue of internet safety followed up with meaningful engagement can make all the difference in the world. Meaningful engagement and staying on top of the ever-evolving world of the internet and social media can help stem the tide of exploitation before it gets a foothold on one of our loved ones. Education and engagement partnered with vigilance can go a long way. Until next time.

During the meeting, Mayor Heather Moreno stressed the importance of the public attending one of the nine remaining virtual study sessions as they will provide opportunities to break into smaller groups for discussion. Each session will begin with the same video presented in the meeting on Tuesday night, followed by a question and answer period before forming smaller groups. It is important that community members participating remember that the City is looking at the larger picture, meaning asking for money to be spent on roadway improvements is better than telling them you have a pothole on your street. The Council also stressed the importance of presenting fully formed ideas that include ways to implement and potentially track any project’s success worth investing in. The final nine Measure D-20 meetings are as follows: • Study Session 1: Thursday, Jan. 14, at 10 a.m. • Study Session 2: Thursday, Jan. 14 at 2 p.m. • Study Session 3: Wednesday, Jan. 20 at 4 p.m. • Study Session 4: Saturday, Jan. 23 at 10 a.m. • Study Session 5: Thursday, Jan. 28 at 6 p.m. • Study Session 6: Friday, Jan. 29 at noon • Study Session 7: Monday, Feb. 1 at 1:30 p.m. • Study Session 8: Thursday, Feb. 4 at 4 p.m. • Study Session 9: Saturday, Feb. 6 at 9 a.m. To watch this or any City Council meeting, visit Youtube and subscribe to the City’s page.
served as a Logistics Officer for the United States Property and Fiscal Office (USPFO) at Camp San Luis from 1959 to 1966. Under his father-in-law Henry Gilardi’s guidance, Nock started his cow/calf operation in Cayucos in 1957 and created his T-Diamond Cattle brand. In 1966, Nock went headstrong into the livestock industry with the purchase of the Templeton Sales Yard, the epitome of livestock and everything he loved. “We’ve all had something to do with the sales yard at one time in the last 20 years-he’d find something for us to do,” said Nock’s long time ranch manager, Jessie Renteria. Then, Claude Loftus laughed, saying, “If you were involved with Nock, you were forced to work at the sales yard at least one weekend.” Nock could almost always be found at the sales yard, whether in the “crows nest” or splitting an egg in Hoover’s Beef Palace. Pete Clark said, “Dick’s other major passion was the Templeton Sales Yard. When they decided to tear that down, that next to killed him.” Ahead of his time, Nock established the SLOCO Fed Beef in 1974, a first of its kind cattlemen to consumer type operation. The operation was the first and only in California with a fully integrated beef production and marketing facility. In 1989, Nock joined the Clark Company in Paso Robles, where he worked closely with Pete Clark. “When Dick was with me in the real estate deal, we would get a ranch sold, and somehow he was always the first in line to

lease it,” Clark said with a laugh. While Nock worked for the Clark Company, his cow/calf operation continued to grow, consisting of 4,500 acres on three ranches in Cayucos, Morro Bay, and Cambria, CA, with grow and feed cattle in Colorado and Nebraska. Nock’s passion for the beef industry led him to serve on many boards, including the California Cattlemen’s Association and the historic “Osos Club.” He even advocated for beef on a national level with good friend John Lacey. “He loved telling people why they needed to eat beef, and this is where it came fromthat was his passion, convincing people that beef was the way to be,” said Loftus. In 1979, Nock was named Cattlemen of the Year by the San Luis Obispo Cattlemen’s Association, and the list of all his accomplishments is almost endless. But one of his proudest endeavors was organizing the Jr. Livestock Support Club in 1970, which served as a price balancing device for 4-H and FFA kids auctioning livestock at the California Mid-State Fair (CMSF). Along with the support club, Nock was instrumental in establishing the fair’s first
Farmers’ and Ranchers’ Day and the replacement heifer project. “That was Dick’s passion, 4-H kids and cows. It kinda brought everything together for him,” said Loftus. Because of Nock, CMSF was the first to implement the replacement heifer project, which many fairs across the state followed in suit. Nock was a past President of the National Livestock Marketing Association. In 1980 he held the national convention on the Central Coast, and for the first time, the World Champion Auction was held on the West Coast at the Templeton Livestock Market. The event pulled in people from around the world, and 4500 head of cattle were auctioned on contest day! For many years, Nock was partners with John Lacey on the Santa Margarita Ranch and other ventures. He was fortunate enough to run cattle on some of the largest and most elite ranches in the area, including the Chimineas Ranch off Highway 166. Nock was a mentor to countless cattlemen and cattlewomen locally and across the nation. He impacted countless generations, and to the date of his passing, many of the SLO County Cattlemen’s Association kids
flocked to Nock when they saw him. Dick Nock was a unique man and true to himself. With a cigar, he seldom smoked, in his mouth and scotch in his hand, Nock never failed to put a smile on friends and family’s faces. His bewildering nicknames and even more interesting euphemisms are only part of what he leaves behind. Nock is survived by his wife of 65 years, Yvonne Gilardi Nock, his daughters, Brandelyn Tronstad (Tom) Marque’ Nock Molodanof ( Jack) and Bretta Nock, granddaughters, Nicole Tronstad (Adam), Olivia, Sofia, Yvonna; a great-grandson Julien, his sister, Patricia Marlo, nieces Kimber Collins, Kami Davis, Bridgit Karo, and nephew Jock Marlo. In honor of Nock’s memory and many contributions to agriculture, a special fund was created. Funds will be used to support 4-H and FFA beef members.

the valley working for the Sheriff ’s department, and they actually all live in Atascadero, so I started hanging around here.” One thing that has been very apparent in all his stops in law enforcement has been the relationships that he has been able to foster with the community around him, which is something he hopes to start in Atascadero. “I believe to foster a relationship with the community, you have to become part of the community,” the chief explained. “So, that is just up to me being out and about a lot and being at events and being visible -- when we can have them -- but popping into local businesses and saying, ‘’Hi’’ to people and talking to service groups. Really just becoming part of the community is how you get to know them.” When it comes to making any changes within the department, Masterson says it is too early to know as he has only been in charge less
with the world. Twisselman shared, “The way I was approaching it felt different this time it was more from a place of ‘I’m going to learn to love myself and show up and care for myself the way I deserve instead of starting a diet from I hate myself, so I’m going to fix the problem.” Soon, women from all over the country began contacting Twisselman asking if she was coaching others on weight loss. In August 2019, Twisselman began coaching people one on one in life and weight loss, and in July 2020, she became a full-time life coach. “It was completely unexpected to me that I would be here, one day being an example to other people, being in a place where I can empower so many other women that are that are walking their own journey, and I am so grateful that I’m able to say I’m here to help you because I did it myself and I have all this proof of what it takes,” said Twisselman. Since October 2018, Twisselman has lost over 125 pounds and has been featured on national television and magazines like Good Morning America, Access Hollywood, People Magazine, and Women’s Health.
Twisselman never went to the gym. She learned how to exercise from home and make small changes in her habits one bit at a time. When it comes to dieting, Twisselman says, “The problem is I think our society and our culture feeds us this belief that diets are what are going to solve the “problem” and I think that’s why the diet culture perpetuates itself and its because we never get to the core of what the real issue is which in my opinion has to do more about our relationship with ourselves than it does the diet or foods that we eat or whether we do the exercise.” You can follow Kiah Twisselman on her continuous health journey on Facebook @coachkiah and learn more about her coaching opportunities at coachkiah.com.
than a week but plans to continue the special enforcement unit that helps work with the homeless population in Atascadero. Former chief Haley brought the program back in August 2020 to help with the City’s growing problem of unhoused neighbors. “We will absolutely keep the special enforcement unit in place,” Materson said. “It is a good tool to assist the homeless in dealing with any issues they may encounter, but I would also like to look at expanding our outreach to the homeless population and get the services they can really benefit from and perhaps find them a permanent place to live.” When it comes to the topic of COVID-19 and State restrictions, the new chief explained that he believes in educating the public and working towards voluntary compliance. Chief Masterson was officially confirmed at the Dec. 8, 2020, City Council meeting. In addition, last night at the Jan. 12 City Council meeting, he had his badge pinned by his son and daughter along with his wife. Masterson’s children place a pin on him following the Administration of the Oath of Office. Contributed photo
