Locals Rally for Justice

ATASCADERO — The Atascadero City Council agreed to move forward with a soft loan of $400,000 to Peoples’ Self-Help Housing for the Del Rio Ridge project. The Council met via a wireless webinar as they have since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The site on Del Rio Ridge adjacent to the Walmart-owned property was evaluated by the City last year. The PSHH design concept was approved and is ready to move forward. “This project is considered to be a 100% affordable multi-family project,” the PSHH presenter explained to the Council. “Forty-two apartments, five separate buildings on the site. It has a whole variety of bedroom counts. There are one-bedroom, three-bedroom units

member Susan Funk, and council member Charles Bourbeau — as well as executives of the City of Atascadero — city manager Rachelle Rickard and police chief Jerel Haley — were in attendance to hear out the crowd. Haley approached Mr. Martin and invited him for a one-on-one discussion about ideas for changes to the APD that would improve the service of local police to all residents of the community. During the stop at the Atascadero Police Department, the crowd kneeled in a moment of silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in honor of George Floyd who was killed by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in broad daylight on March 25. The quiet crowd rose to its feet with a tangible unified strength before moving back to the Sunken Gardens.

ATASCADERO — The Atascadero Unified School District board meeting on June 2 covered a variety of topics, including an agreement with PJHM architecture firm to begin the design and planning for the replacement pool process. The cost for PJHM was estimated at $522,000 and would be paid by developer fees. Trustees were scheduled to vote on using PJHM, but after three members, Ray Buban, Terri Switzer and Corinne Kuhnle claimed they were “left in the dark” in regards to the Atascadero Swimming Pool committee’s wants and recommendations. District Executive Director of Bonds and Facilities Brandt Lloyd addressed the board with a short introduction stating, “As we know the pool is in failing disrepair and it no longer serves the PE programs and the athletic programs we offer adequately. The District issued a request for qualifications and proposals from design firms qualified and experienced in aquatics.” Lloyd continued stating that the design committee went through nine different applicants and met with four before landing on PJHM, who had the best fit for the Districts wants. Lloyd finished by stating the proposed price at $522,000 that covers a schedule of services starting with schematic design and ending with construction administration. Trustee Buban began the push back objecting to the lack of information provided and the high price tag and was echoed by trustee Kuhnle who said, “We are looking at spending half a million dollars to this company and, I, too, felt that there should have been more information brought to us as a board as to what the committee has been discussing.” After the board raised their concerns, District Superintendent Tom Butler addressed them, saying, “I would like to respectfully share

At Sunken Gardens, SLO County NAACP president Stephen Vines spoke to the crowd passionately about making a difference and making change in the community. He spoke on the subject of violence, policy, social justice and making change. “Violence is the enemy of all of us,” Vines said. “It will kill, and steal, and destroy. Violence only begets violence.” Formed in 1909 by a diverse group of activists, the NAACP, or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is the oldest and largest civil rights organization.

TEMPLETON HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION

McPhee’s Grill Feeds Templeton Graduates Drive-by breakfast service on graduation morning

By CONNOR ALLEN connor@atascaderonews.com TEMPLETON — McPhee’s Grill opened its doors at 10 a.m. Thursday, June 4, for the first time since March 17. However, the doors weren’t open to the public but to serve breakfast to each of the Templeton seniors on the morning of their graduation via a drive-by handoff. Usually, McPhee’s serves a sit-down breakfast to the graduating THS seniors but did the drive-by in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. “I think we have been doing it for about eight years now,” Ian McPhee said. “We have been doing it for about eight years, and it is just something that, you know, there are a lot of things that I do because I want kids to remember this town because I worry that some of them are thinking that they live in some little podunk town and they are going to move on to bigger and better things, and they forget their roots.” The meals were served from 10–11 a.m. and available to any high school senior free of charge. McPhee’s, along with some help

Templeton Honors Graduates in a Drive-in Style Graduation Estrella Warbirds join in ceremony with flyover salute

By CONNOR ALLEN TEMPLETON — Due to the restrictions put in place from the COVID-19 pandemic, Templeton High School treated its graduates to a drive-in style graduation ceremony at the Athletic Park at Vineyard Elementary School on Thursday, June 4. The event started at 6 p.m. and was accompanied by a flyover from the Estrella Warbirds who flew two planes over the ceremony — a Stearman biplane and a C-47 cargo airplane. “We wanted to do something as close to a traditional ceremony as we could, given the circumstances with social distancing and the restrictions that are in place from the health department and the CDC,” THS Principal Josh Aston told The Atascadero News. Along with the flyover, Templeton brought in a large LED screen that displayed what was happen-

ing on the stage up front for those parked in the back as well as broadcasting the ceremony live on the school’s Youtube page. The graduates pulled in and parked like they were seeing a drive-in movie and cheered their friends as they accepted their diplomas and strolled happily across the stage into the next phase of their lives. Once everyone was parked, Templeton kept their traditional ceremony. Salutatorians Austin D’Acquisto and Blake Fardamesh, Class President Rachel Stockwell, valedictorians David Magie and Peyton TenEyck, and Principal Aston, addressed graduates. Following the speeches, over 170 Templeton seniors grabbed their diplomas, crossed the stage, and then turned their tassels in unison as Eagle of the Year honoree Evan Asplund led the ceremony ushering his 2020 class- Templeton High School held a drive-in style graduation due to the COVID-19 pandemic on June 4. mates into the future.

6-Week Guide to Summer Learning

COMMUNITY

James J. Brescia, Ed.D. SLO County Superintendent SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — Typically summer can be a time for travel, vacations, and new adventures. The summer of 2020 will be different because of COVID-19. The San Luis Obispo County Office of Education’s mission ~ “To promote student success by supporting the work of local school districts, delivering specialized student services, and providing county-wide leadership and advocacy for the needs of all children” is now more important than ever. The San Luis Obispo County Office of Education facilitates both Charter/Spectrum public education access channels 2 & 19, will continue to offer access to our Education Portal and has developed a guide for parents of elementary-aged children called SLO Summer Learning. The guide contains six weekly plans with suggested activities and web links to extend learning this summer. Each week is designed around a theme and includes a neighborhood-based free family field trip, things to read, watch and listen to, activities to think like a practicing professional, projects to show what students have learned, as well as activities for continued social-emotional learning.

Sensorio to Re-open in Paso Robles STAFF REPORT

The SLO Summer Learning guides are available on the San Luis Obispo County Office of Education website as well as a print version in both English and Spanish. As your county superintendent, I invite you to plan with your children how the summer will be spent considering COVID-19. A second suggestion is to avoid going overboard with structured activities and thinking that you have to plan every minute of the summer. Summer is still an opportunity for freedom from the routine and the pressure that can accompany school. Also, consider some free time exploration, creativity, and relaxation. It is an honor to serve as your county superintendent. For more information, visit sloco.org.

THOMAS JODRY

Our son Thomas died on September 14, 2019, in San Luis Obispo. Please help us find out how he died.

ur precious son, Thomas (“Tommy”) Jodry, 21, died on Saturday, September 14, 2019, in the City of San Luis Obispo. At around 9:15pm emergency services were called, reporting that he fell from the third floor of the Marsh Street Parking Structure across the street from the Eureka Restaurant. It was a horrifying way to die. Tommy was only 21 years old. He was just starting life and was hopeful for the future. And he was a wonderful boy. We need to find people who may have seen what happened to Tommy in the hour before he fell to his death. • Did he lose his balance and fall from the parking structure? • Was he pushed from the parking structure? To the best of our knowledge, the last person with Tommy on the night he died was David A. Knight, 56, of Atascadero. It was Saturday evening, Cal Poly WOW weekend, and the streets were crowded. The places he was seen on the night of his death include Kreuzberg Coffee, the Frog & Peach Bar on Higuera Street, and the pedestrian walkway between Express and Barnes & Noble. If you have any information whatsoever that could possibly help us to understand how Tommy died, please contact William or Mary Jane Jodry at our website justiceforthomas.com. We assure you that anything you tell us will remain confidential – we will not disclose your identity to the police or anyone else without your express permission, in writing. PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Carbajal Cosponsors ‘Justice in Policing Act’ Sweeping legislative package reforms police training and practices, improves accountability STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — Yesterday, Congressman Carbajal became an original cosponsor of the Justice in Policing Act, introduced by Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA), Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus. The bicameral measure marks the first-ever comprehensive approach to hold problem police officers accountable and rebuild trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. “Since George Floyd was killed, millions of Americans of every race, age, and background have joined together to protest the injustices Black men and women too often face when dealing with law enforcement. Last week, I joined peaceful protestors in Santa Maria in saying ‘Black lives matter.’ That truth should not be up for debate,”said Rep. Carbajal. “No person of color in America should have to live in fear of being killed by a police officer. Moreover, no rogue police officer should be able to use the cover of their badge to shield themselves from accountability. The first step in enhancing the police-community relationship is to ensure that law enforcement leaders across the country have the incentive and ability to remove problem police officers from their ranks. I’m proud to be an original cosponsor of the Justice in Policing Act, which makes long overdue reforms to ensure our law enforcement can better serve all members of their community.”

PASO ROBLES — On May 22 at 3:30 p.m., the Grand Oaks Paseo community hosted a “virtual groundbreaking ceremony” with principal developers Jennifer Kim, Jack Phelan, and Ted Lawton alongside their RRM Design team, engineers and builders to perform the ceremonial groundbreaking at the project site. City officials and others attended virtually online through a Zoom meeting to celebrate the new affordably priced Atascadero cottage community of single-family residential homes that will start in the 200 thousand price range. Grand Oaks Paseo is a 1.7-acre mixed-use development project developed by Cal Coastal Communities. Located at 4711 El Camino Real, just north of downtown Atascadero, the Grand Oaks community will consist of 26 Cottage Homes, 4 Live/Work units, and a Community Center all clustered around a central park open space. Cal Coastal Communities is a real estate development and brokerage firm located in San Luis Obispo. It has a simple singular mission: to provide affordable homeownership for people living on the Central Coast. In the midst of a severe housing

crisis, the central coast has become one of the most expensive and challenging places in the nation to live and work. Over 70 percent of the residents who make up SLO County’s workforce simply cannot qualify to purchase a home. Median price homes in SLO County continue to climb every month currently over $636,000 for a single-family home. The county’s workforce (our neighbors) who serve us every day have no chance at homeownership. They simply do not have the purchasing power to do so. They’ve been locked out of the market and find themselves stuck in the rental cycle, which Cal Coastal views as the least affordable form of housing. Cal Coastal Communities made it their mission to do something about it. By designing small, beautiful cottage homes, Cal Coastal is now providing the most affordable homeownership opportunity between San Francisco and Los Angeles. It just so happens to be here on the stunningly beautiful Central Coast. Cal Coastal has achieved this by creating a unique approach to homeownership that is truly affordable-by-design, and that provides a much-needed stepping stone into homeownership for residents of the central coast. The homes are not only afford-

able but provide significant added benefits that, for many, can be truly life-changing, including a lower cost of living, healthy amenities, a deeper connection to the community, in an environmentally sustainable footprint. Homeownership provides a secure and stable place to live. Traditionally, it has been an essential component of building wealth. The real impact to the community goes beyond the financial benefits. As many homeowners know, most of the benefits of homeownership are intangible. A homeowner becomes invested in the community. They become involved in local activities, volunteer for charity organizations, and help out with special events. They experience a sense of belonging that people who are renting rarely do. There is pride in ownership as they work hard to keep their home and property nice. It is this sense of connectedness and responsibility to the community that carries over into other areas of our city as they are able to develop roots and a sense of belonging. Cal Coastal Communities believes that every Californian should have the possibility of owning their own home. For more information, visit calcoastalcommunities.com.

FUNDRAISER

Fourth of July Bluegrass Festival Canceled Colony Days hosting drivethru barbecue in lieu of event STAFF REPORT ATASCADERO — What was to be the fourth annual Atascadero Fourth of July Bluegrass Freedom Festival has been canceled due to state regulations in response to COVID19. The annual event has been a fundraiser for Atascadero Colony Days’ yearly event in October, celebrating the community. “For the past three years, we have seen thousands of people join us to celebrate at the Atascadero Lake Park,” festival founder and director Nic Mattson said. “It is disap-

pointing to have to cancel, but we are working with the City of Atascadero to make the best decision we can for all involved.” The event will return to the calendar in 2021 with a Sunday, July 4 date and an authentic Bluegrass lineup to accompany the family-friendly event, vendors, food and drink fundraiser. “Although we won’t see the great event we have come to love on July 4,” Mattson said, “we can still support Colony Days by donating directly or purchasing a drive-through Fourth of July meal.” The Atascadero Colony Days Committee will host a drive-thru barbecue dinner on the Fourth of July from noon to 4 p.m. at a location yet to be determined. The barbecue dinner

will be chicken or tri-tip with salad, bread and dessert for four. The cost of the chicken dinner is $40 and $50 for the tri-tip dinner. Dinners are being presold on Atascadero Colony Days’ website, colonydays.org. The annual Colony Days event is planned for on Friday, Oct. 2, with the Tent City After Dark fundraiser concert and the parade, Tent City, dog races and festivities for Saturday, Oct. 3. To stay up-to-date on what’s happening with Colony Days, visit its website and sign up for the mailing list. The website has current information and an email goes out if anything changes. Presently, the committee is continuing to take vendor applications, parade entries

and is selling tickets for Tent City After Dark. Vendor fees and concert tickets will be refunded if parts of it are canceled. Atascadero Colony Days is a grassroots community run and funded event that depends on sponsorships and donations. Because of the financial difficulties due to the shelter-at-home orders, the committee is also feeling the financial strain. The committee is asking for anyone who can donate even $5 to put on this year’s event. Go to colonydays. org and click on ‘donate.’ “We are always grateful for the support of the community,” Colony Days chairperson Karen McNamara said, “and we look forward to seeing everyone at the 4th of July barbecue event.”

BARBARA JOYCE BLUMBERG 1935 - 2020

arbara was born in February 1935 to Ed and Artie Edelman. As a child, she lived the farm life in Atascadero, she helped her grandparents on their ranch in Templeton, and enjoyed visiting family in the central valley. She was always close to her many uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents. Barbara spent her school years at Templeton schools, where she made many life-long friends ( some of whom she still met up with for birthday lunches). Her family attended church in Templeton, where she also made many friends. Barbara started her career life at Bank of America in Atascadero. After marrying Barbara moved to San Francisco bay area and started a family. She spent most of her time being mom to her kids, as well as neighborhood kids. When

her kids were grown and she was on her own , Barbara worked at the Emporium Dept store in San Mateo for several years; but she always made time to come visit her family and friends on the Central Coast. After Barbara married Dick in 1980, the couple moved to Atascadero to make their life and look after her parents. She went back to gardening, teaching Tai Chi with her husband, and working at Kmart in Atascadero. She kept in contact with past and present Tai Chi students, as well as past and prsent co-workers, friends and neighbors. Barbara went home to Our Lord on May 31, 2020 under her own terms and with her family by her side; much in the same way she lived her life. She will be laid to rest at Templeton Cemetery with her beloved parents, children and her husband. She is survived by granddaughters Sarah and Melissa Radford (Gordon), three great grandchildren: Haley, Katelynne ( Melissa and Donny) and James (Sarah and Eric), stepdaughters Paget, Sandi and Denise Blumberg, her doggy Alex.

Fire Burns 10 Acres, Threatens Homes Off of Highway 41 STAFF REPORT ATASCADERO — A grass fire off of Highway 41 at the corner of Carmelita and Casanova roads in Atascadero burned 10 acres Tuesday afternoon. It threatened homes in the area, according to the Atascadero Fire Department. AFD responded to a fire shortly after 4 p.m. and worked to extinguish the blaze along with firefighters from Cal Fire, San Luis Obispo County and other fire agencies from across the county. A vehicle traveling in the area lost control and left the roadway in the locality where Carmelita and Casanova roads come together, causing the vehicle and the nearby grass to catch fire, according to AFD. The fire caused Highway 41 to temporarily close so that fire crews could move into the area. In addition to ground crews, air tankers dropped retardant on the blaze, according to AFD. Roughly, 10 acres burned along with a “secondary unit structure and light damage to several more units.” The fire was contained at approximately 5:43 p.m. and crews worked in the area for a couple of hours.

Let’s Talk About It

NIC & HAYLEY MATTSON CO-PUBLISHERS

t has been an especially interesting 2020 all over the world, and our usually exceptional hamlet here — isolated by the Cuesta Grade, the Santa Lucia Mountains, and the expanse of the California valley to our east and north — did not escape. From the invasion of the coronavirus, followed by a number of protests against police brutality, and yesterday an active shooter situation that shut down Paso Robles downtown, the North SLO County

has become an intersection in the greater narrative. Narratives are an important part of the bigger picture, and provide credibility to a call for change at all levels of police activity. Narratives also play into a single incident of a story or series of stories. Journalists and local newspaper leadership are responsible to provide important narratives, where context is highly necessary. Clips of 10 second videos posted to social media can be fodder for skewed or tendentious perspectives that further exacerbate issues and as a local newspaper, we work toward one objective — Making communities better through print.™ Recent dramatic events like coronavirus and police brutality protests provide a backdrop for extreme views to gain traction and short memes of misinformation or skewed narratives and omissions of facts reduce accountability for both the general public, civic leaders, elected officials and law enforce-

ment. We will continue to hold our community accountable. Events in 2020 demand a unification, which was challenged in the final weeks of coronavirus shutdowns and was torn asunder around the country after the killing of George Floyd. When it comes to common ground, peaceful resolution, compromise, and paths ahead, messaging is crucial. Our coverage of coronavirus was biased toward peaceful resolution, as was our local coverage of recent protests. Our support of law and order, peace, and most importantly the safety and respect of all people in our community will continue just as strongly as our support for change and improvement of areas that need it most. Our respect will be given to those who place themselves into the conversation toward solutions to our local problems. We know that we won’t change deep-seeded or cultural stigmas overnight,

but our platform is one of honest conversation. If we are granted one professional privilege it is to give a voice to the voiceless, and to support those local voices who are also making communities better. The true and horrific nature of Derek Chauvin’s crime is a call for accountability in our national police system, but the solution to our real and present division between American citizens is one of collective dialogue and open conversation. We have an opportunity, and a public willingness, to make real change through discourse and as a local media company, we have the responsibility to engage that conversation and share that discourse. The past is filled with war stories. Let’s build a future together without them. Contact us if you want to be a part of an on-camera discussion about issues in our community that we can solve together, because together we can.

Money, Race, Linked to Senior Home Virus Problems

death statistics at senior homes and overall numbers for minority infections and deaths while mulling an attempt by the senior housing industry to gain legal immunity for all its virus-related actions, even criminal behavior. If there’s statistical overlap, it’s probably because — as several studies since 2007 indicate — care is often inferior in nursing homes catering primarily THOMAS ELIAS to minorities compared to ones whose COMMENTARY residents are mostly Caucasian. This is true in California and nationally. Figures he headlines make it clear. So published in mid-May revealed that do the statistics on who is most people in homes with more than 25 likely to be infected and then percent minority residents are more than killed by the novel coronavirus: Resitwice as likely to contract the virus than dents of homes for seniors are most at residents of homes catering mainly to risk, whether the facilities are nursing whites. homes, skilled nursing or something else.

Gov. Gavin Newsom well knows that How severe is that pressure? Medithere is almost certainly overlap between Cal payments for nursing home patients

average about $217 per patient per day, state figures show. That’s far below the cost of hiring an in-home caregiver for 24-hour coverage, which patients should get in nursing homes. This sad picture demonstrates a strong need for a thorough state investigation of senior home treatment of minorities — during the current crisis and before. This should be a significant priority for Newsom, whose administration has been mostly passive while nursing homes in locales as varied as Riverside and Tulare suffered clusters of coronavirus deaths. Meanwhile, senior homes are active in a broad lobbying effort by the health care industry to convince Newsom he should shield such facilities, plus doctors and hospitals of all types, from lawsuits and prosecution, even if their conduct led to COVID-19 fatalities. With legal immunity, plaintiffs would have to prove willful misconduct to win a lawsuit. Even without immunity, California has a decades-old maximum of $250,000 in pain and suffering damages for medical malpractice. States like Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Iowa have already granted varying levels of immunity. But Newsom gets more pressure than most governors from nursing home reformists and families who have lost loved ones. Said Michael Conners, an advocate with the watchdog group Californian

Advocates for Nursing Home Reform (via email), “Giving nursing homes license to commit elder abuse right now is a recipe for disaster. What’s more, the scope of immunity being sought is not limited to nursing homes that accept COVID-19 patients.” Added Oakland civil rights lawyer John Burris, “(Immunity) incentivizes bad conduct.” Reformists say that rather than granting immunity (it’s uncertain that even emergency powers give Newsom that authority), the state should move to ensure uniformly thorough sanitation in all senior homes, better pay to help draw higher quality caregivers and adequate personal protection equipment for them to use. So far, there are no signs of change or an investigation, despite the dramatic evidence of racial and economic differences, especially in nursing home care. The bottom line: It’s high time state government examines both the many senior home fatalities and their apparent racial and economic components. Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

In every segment of society in this country, there are laws that hurt blacks more discriminately than whites or that favor whites over blacks. Add to this the brutality that “the law” (police forces) routinely perpetrates on blacks, and one can see how the word means very different things to a black person than to a white person. To the former, is it generations of discrimination, prejudice, terrorizing, an anathema; to the latter, it is access, protection, privilege, and a godsend. Let’s turn to the second word of the phrase of “law and order,” the word, “order.” Again, the meaning can have very different connotations for whites or for blacks. Order can mean stability, a status quo, a return to the way things “ought to be.” It often means “don’t rock the boat,” work within the system, and incremental change is better than no change at all. For some, “order” means maintaining the societal hierarchy that ensures the privileges and advantages of being white, privileges, and advantages that many, perhaps most, white people do not even realize they have. It is a system that resists change, that allows injustices to occur under the guise of “at least things are better than they were” (better than

when? a hundred years ago? in enslavement times?). “Order” might mean for a black person to bottle up his frustrations, to kiss up to the boss and to the authorities, playing the game because it is better than getting fired from a job, going to jail, getting a criminal record, or getting killed. Until it is just too much to keep inside. Another senseless, racist killing and “order” means it is time to challenge the existing order on a level that will get people’s attention. President Trump is not ignorant about these shades of meaning when he uses “law and order” in his tweets and speeches. He knows it sends a clear signal to his white base and for all blacks to hear that he is ready to punish those that would dare to challenge the existing order. His use of terms like “extreme military force” and the use of “vicious dogs” on protesters tells blacks to back off, or he will come down hard on them, just like in slavery times. Trump uses language meant to increase the fear of both blacks and whites, knowing that people will not act rationally when afraid. He hopes that whites will turn to a reassuring and resolute leader (himself ) and that blacks and other people of conscience will lose their willingness to pursue social justice issues publicly, forcefully, and unwaveringly. I stand with the latter to speak out loudly for laws and an order that are just and equitable.

Barbie Butz COLUMNIST

have been pondering my theme for this week, what with all that is taking place. Since many other columnists are covering the daily news, and it’s not happy news, I decided to concentrate on something positive. On Sunday, June 21, we will celebrate Father’s Day, and I’ve selected some recipes that should allow some of the “junior chefs” in your family to show off a little. After all, dads deserve to “give up the grill” for a day and let someone else do the cookin’. This first recipe is simple and will allow the kids to participate easily. These used to be called Hobo Packs, but apparently, some folks didn’t like the name since they heard that hobos were defined as tramps in the dictionary. So now they are often called Grill Pouches. So, call them what you want, they are delicious! GRILL POUCHES Ingredients and Directions: • Heat the grill to 475 degrees. Toss 1 lb. Idaho potatoes, scrubbed and diced; 1 lb. sweet potatoes, scrubbed and diced;

When their gold pans and sluice boxes came up empty, they mined the miners. A German named Levi sold them denim pants, an Italian named Giannini built Bank of America, and thousands of other immigrants started companies that still stand today. The Russians came for our whales, created villages in Northern California, and ended up selling Alaska to us at a bargain price. Scotsmen came to build great ranching empires, and the Cubans risked their lives and came in leaky boats to get a good taste of our freedom. The French came for our furs and ended up opening up the west. The Cajuns in the South gave our country a healthy dose of spice and joie de vivre (a delight in being alive). Mexicans came to pick our fruit and farm our fields, and they added a strong work ethic and love of family to the American concoction. Today if you travel America’s Southwest, you’ll find at least one good Mexican food restaurant in every town and that English is

1 large red bell pepper, seeded and sliced; and 1 small yellow onion, diced, with ½ tbsp. vegetable oil, 1 ¼ tsp. salt and 1 tsp. chopped fresh oregano. • Create 6 large rectangles of 2 layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Divide mixture evenly (about 1 1/3 cups per packet) among foil rectangles. Break up 1 lb. fresh chorizo, casings removed, into small pieces and sprinkle evenly over mixture. Fold packets to seal well. Cook on covered grill, turning over halfway through, until sausage is cooked through and potatoes are tender, 28 to 30 minutes. Open packets very carefully. Sprinkle with additional oregano if desired. Note: Try andouille or spicy Italian sausage in place of the chorizo. • Prep all of the ingredients; toss with the oil, salt, and oregano and place some in individual bowls and let the kids fill the pouches. It might be easier to use some of the sausages that can be sliced, like polish sausage. Serve with warm corn tortillas. • If you can find a smooth spot on the foil, let the kids write a name on the pouch with a black marker. Have fun and be creative with this recipe! Pouches can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This next recipe comes from

magnet to metal, I wanted to jump in behind them and march. I had to pull myself away to get back to work. I wasn’t pulled to them like a magnet because of mob mentality. It was on a soul level — this soul agrees wholeheartedly with this movement, one hundred percent. I was deeply moved by a black woman in her early 70’s. She came running out of her home in a robe with a towel wrapped on her head. She had just washed her hair and heard the champions approaching and wanted to see them. We stood together on the street corner, watching, and listening. She said, “Thank you, God, for these beautiful souls.” My heart compelled me to tell her she mattered. I put my phone away, looked her in the eyes, and said sincerely, “You matter.” She thanked me and

quite often the second language. It’s a reminder that the Mexicans owned the Southwest long before the Anglos arrived. Many races were added to our mumbo-jumbo hodgepodge as a result of wars. The South Vietnamese came because they would have been executed had they stayed at home, and the Thais, Cambodians, and Laotians likewise. Iranians arrived after the Shah was deposed in 1979, and Japanese had been loyal American citizens long before we herded them into internment camps during World War II. A vital ingredient in our American stew were the blacks from Africa who came against their will. We fought a war for their freedom, and their descendants have added so much color to our culture in sports, music, and entertainment. Today they are the heart and soul of urban America. Stir this mix all together, and you have American families of all sorts of permutations and possibilities. Let it stew for 250 years, and you end up with us. As in the United States. There has never been nor ever will be anything quite like US ever again.

began to cry. I cried too. Then I went back to work. I’ve asked myself what is mine to do and heard the call to facilitate a book study of White Fragility, which begins this Thursday. I had to reprioritize my schedule, which wasn’t easy, but this is important. Our Center will not hold our Wednesday Eve service until further notice to focus on doing our part to end racism. Do you need to shuffle and reprioritize too? This matters. It is important. I hear the champions for justice, asking me for help. Do you hear them too? They marched by my home to get my attention. How can I not heed the call to action? As you march on in your daily life, I invite you to ask yourself, “What is Mine to Do?”

Pet Poisons

Be Mindful of these Household Products and Cleaning Agents Helpful Recommendations and Tips from ASPCA

s the health and safety of ourselves and our friends and family remain top-of-mind, we want to remind you always to consider your furry family members safety as well. It’s vital to remember products intended to clean surfaces and keep us safe from germs and bacteria might not be so safe for our pets. The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) has created the following guide to help you know which cleaning products to keep out of paws’ reach. BLEACH Pet parents are often curious about the risks associated with cleaning their pets’ cages and toys with bleach. The bottom line is that cleaning your pet’s cage or toys with a properly diluted bleach solution, followed by a thorough rinsing and airing out, is not expected to cause harm. If the odor of bleach seems overwhelming, open windows and use fans to air the room. There are many cleaning products and disinfectants on the market, with various ingredients for cleaners, with varying degrees of safety. Always follow label directions for usage. After cleaning, ensure you dispose of unused or dirty solutions and clean and put away cleaning implements like mops in areas where your pets have access. If your pet seems overly interested in a freshly mopped area or cleaned counter, guide them to another part of the house while the surfaces air out. If you have questions about the appropriate selection or application of a product, please contact your veterinarian or the manufacturer before cleaning. CARPET FRESHENERS Proper use of carpet deodorizing products should not cause significant harm or injury to pets. Should your pet accidentally come in contact with the freshly applied powder, we recom-

mend washing the paws with mild soap and water to avoid minor skin irritation. Minor ingestions of carpet freshener may result in a mild stomach upset. If a small amount is inhaled, minor respiratory irritation may occur, resulting in sneezing, coughing, or a runny nose. It’s a good idea to keep pets out of the room until after you have vacuumed up the powder. CARPET SHAMPOO Most carpet cleaning products can be used in pet households. Allow the carpet to dry before allowing pets into the area. This will help to prevent the risk of skin irritation or gastrointestinal upset. ESSENTIAL OILS Cats are especially sensitive to essential oils, and effects such as gastrointestinal upset, central nervous system depression and even liver damage could occur if ingested in significant quantities. Inhalation of the oils could lead to aspiration pneumonia. Toxicity varies among specific oils, so we wouldn’t recommend using any essential oils in areas your pets can access unless pets are supervised, or your veterinarian approves the use of the oil. FABRIC SOFTENER SHEETS Fabric softeners contain cationic detergents, which could cause issues for your pets like drooling, vomiting, oral and esophageal ulcers and fever.These clinical signs require treatment by a veterinarian.

causes serious illness or death in pets, our veterinary toxicology experts at APCC regard these fabric freshener products to be safe for use in households with pets. As with any product, it is important always to follow label instructions for use. Should your pet accidentally come into contact with Febreze when it is still wet, we would not anticipate problems beyond mild skin irritation or minor stomach upset, if it is ingested. GROUT Grout sealers vary widely in toxicity, from non-toxic to alkaline corrosive. Alkaline products can cause drooling, vomiting, oral and esophageal ulcers. Confirm ingredients in the brand you are using and call APCC or your veterinarian if your pet ingests some sealer. Dried or cured sealer generally only causes a mild upset stomach if ingested. SWIFFER WETJET Swiffer Wetjet products do not contain cleaning agents in large enough quantities to present serious health risks to pets. Our toxicology experts evaluated the product and determined it doesn’t contain ethylene glycol from antifreeze contrary to rumors and is appropriate to use in homes with pets. Like any product, it’s essential to read and follow label instructions to avoid unnecessary exposure to pets. As with any number of cleaning products, mild skin irritation or stomach upset may occur if pets walk through a wet floor or lick any solution. TOILET CLEANING TABLETS Most toilet bowl cleaning tablets would not be expected to cause problems beyond minor stomach upset, should a dog take a drink of

the diluted water in the toilet bowl. However, gastrointestinal problems could occur from drinking stagnant toilet water, so it’s still a good idea to discourage your dog from lavatory libations! VINEGAR AND WATER A solution of vinegar and water is used as an inexpensive alternative to commercial cleaning agents. Vinegar is typically acidic and can act as an irritant. Ingesting concentrated or undiluted vinegar can cause vomiting, diarrhea, oral irritation and pain. Most cleaning agents can be used safely in homes, as long as label recommendations are followed. It’s important to ensure that you keep cleaning products up and out of paws’ reach and keep your pet out of the area when using any potentially toxic substances. If you suspect your pet has been exposed to any poisonous substances, contact your veterinarian or call APCC’s hotline at 888-426-4435 immediately.

and water, wrapped up in a to-go box. Several passerby’s poked their head into the restaurant, hoping they might be able to get a table for lunch, but according to McPhee, they are still about a month away from opening their doors. The popular North County restaurant is currently waiting on some safety items such as plexiglass to put between their booths before it makes sense for them to open but are eager to begin serving the public and are taking the necessary steps to serve the community safely. “We are following all the prescribed methods that the health department has told us to do,” McPhee said regarding COVID-19 restrictions and rules. “That is going to be a big thing in our business, and there is no shunning it or getting around it. Of course, I don’t want customers to have to come in here and get served with masked waiters and all that, but it is what it is.”

and eliminate racial prejudice. Vines let the crowd know, the NAACP has the credentials to back up change. “Here at the NAACP — the oldest, the boldest, the toughest, the roughest — we are nonviolent, and we are changing the world,” Vines proclaimed over the loudspeaker. “We don’t need no bad language. We don’t need none of that. We have the truth on our side, and the truth is that love always heals. Peace is what we are after, and we aren’t going to let anybody steal it from us. We got to keep our eye on the ball. We are about social justice, because there ain’t no peace without justice.” The crowd cheered loudly. “So where do we go from here?” Vines continued. “We have to deal with policy. In order to deal with policy, we have to have political power. What is political power? Political power is having enough votes to win. Not just vote, but to win.” Vines implored the crowd to get out the vote, strategize, and register people to vote. “This older generation hasn’t been too nice to you all,” Vines said. “You need to take the matter over, and straighten this garbage out. If you all don’t do it, it isn’t going to get done. Us old people have been conditioned to go with the okie doke [expletive].” He finished with a challenge to members of the crowd to commit to change by running for local public office as leaders of the community. “Which one of you is going to run for mayor?” Vines asked. “Which one of you is going to run for county supervisor? Which one of you is going to run for city council? That is what you all need to do, because we need to shake it up, and power to the people.” Vines rallied the passionate and peaceful crowd, encouraging a move to action and voting in the November 2020 election before peacefully ending the assembly with a prayer led by Atascadero native Jerry Gaona.

and different affordability levels. There is actually going to be units that would be affordable to the lower-income categories — all three of those — the low, very low, and extremely low.” The proposal included a few design renderings for the complex, which consisted of a basketball court, a large community room, a children’s play area, and a full-time onsite property manager, one of the Council’s top concerns. Councilmember Susan Funk asked where the money for the loan was coming from and was reassured that it be from a fund for this express purpose. “If this is not money that can be used for any

with the trustees that we have had items around this multiple times. It’s OK. I think we are all maxed out. This is a very demanding time with the recession and COVID19... I think it would be good to come back and redo some of those items with the team, and we can do that at our next meeting, and we can come back and reinform you on what the committee is recommending. This can be postponed until the next meeting.” The board later voted unanimously to table the discussion for this week and to readdress it at next week’s board meeting following a thorough presentation. As all board meetings do, this one opened with public comment, and for the second consecutive week, callers pleaded for the return of the sports medicine program. In his superintendent report, Butler stated that it will be back next season and that counselors and other high school staff are

“It’s pretty amazing to see so many people come out,” Gaona said. “A lot of people were afraid to come out just because they didn’t, and I didn’t, want to be a part of group that was disrespectful to the police or businesses. But what I did want to do, is [represent] the 2 percent African American in SLO County.” Gaona grew up in Atascadero, and his personal experience as a boy moved him to want to participate in positive change. Gaona’s grandfather was David Cowan, who moved to Atascadero in 1913 and is credited for naming the annual parade “Colony Days.” “I have a long history of racism in Atascadero with me and my family,” Gaona said, “and what me and my brothers experienced. It was mostly great, but we have some specific things that happened to us that have been scars.” Gaona said his boys, aged 9, 11, and 13, experienced racism since moving back to Atascadero from the Burbank area six years ago. “I didn’t even talk to my kids about racism until we moved back to Atascadero,” Gaona said. “My kids have been called the ‘N’ word several times at school, and there have been so many other instances.” While positive and negative aspects of small town add to complications and diffi-

other purpose, then this is why this money is being paid to support projects of this nature,” Funk said. Following the presentation and questions, the Council voted unanimously to move forward with the $400,000 from the “in lieu low/moderate-income housing funds.” The terms of the loan are 55 years at 3% interest. The Council asked for three requests to be part of the loan agreement — full-time onsite property manager, Peoples’ Self-Help owns the property for the duration of the loan and an affordability covenant. The meeting also included the unanimous passing of maintenance and improvements to road and drainage and landscape and lightning of three Atascadero districts — Apple Valley, De Anza Estates and Woodridge (Las Lomas).

reaching out to students that have requested that course. Later in his report, Butler talked about the District’s meal distribution program that has taken place since the schools shut down in March, stating the meals would be available throughout the summer to those students in need. “We continue to serve meals to anyone that is 18 years and younger, and as you know right now, we are serving around 2,500 meals a week with each one including two meals, breakfast, and lunch,” Butler said. “The remainder of this week, we are at Santa Rosa, San Benito, and Atascadero Middle School. When we head into summer, those meals will continue to be available for anyone 18 or under and will be distributed at Santa Rosa throughout the summer period, and we are glad to be able to bring that support to our community.” Following Butler’s update on meals, Buban asked a question lingering in the back of many Atascaderans’ minds when he

culties for young kids growing up, Gaona affirmed that positive changes are happening. “I wanted to be here because so many people commenting on the protests make it out to be a negative thing,” Gaona said, “but I see both sides. I see the Black-on-Black crime, I see all the statistics — I see both sides, and I love both sides of the story.” The current chapter of the national story is complete with violence, looting, rioting, burning, confrontation, aggravation, and calls for anarchy as well as prayers, dialogue, peaceful protests, and calls for unity. Gaona said he believed local change was possible through open and honest dialogue. “I understand the history, and there is still racial issues in Atascadero,” Gaona said. “I wanted to be here to peacefully protest, but also to start a dialogue with everyone. A lot of it has to do with the fact that there is a small population of African Americans in the community, and we want to be a part of the conversation and bring unity to Atascadero.” As national debate roils in the short months prior to a presidential election, the two dominant parties in the United States move to make the case for their candidates and 2020 has so far provided source material like few moments in modern history. Meanwhile, local communities face local issues that call for local leadership and local solutions

that may not necessarily demand political support or allegiance. “I don’t stand with any one organization,” Gaona said. “I don’t believe in everything everyone else believes in, but I do believe in love and I believe in trying to have a conversation and peacefully protest and talk about real issues.” Gaona’s experience with local police bears out a somewhat typical story for an Atascadero resident, which included some positive experiences and some room for improvement. On Sunday, the Atascadero police were joined by SLO County Sheriff deputies and Morro Bay Police officers to stand watch for the health and safety of citizens and local businesses as protests work to shake the stigma carried from previous weeks of violence and vandalism. Due to the rumors and fear surrounding a Tuesday protest in Paso Robles, multiple businesses boarded up their doors and windows in defense, and that defense stood through Sunday. During Sunday’s protest, the crowd moved without qualm through the downtown, as police managed traffic. “I had a conversation with police and I thanked them,” Gaona said. “Every police I walked by, I thanked them for being there and for protecting us, because there are a lot of great things the police are doing, but there is a conversation to be had about things my family has experienced with the police. It has been 95 percent great, but there is that 5 percent that I think we need to have that conversation.” Vines expressed that Sunday’s assembly was a part of a series of assemblies that will occur throughout SLO County through the months leading to the election in November. Organizers led an 8:46 second moment of silence in the parking lot of the APD before heading back toward Sunken Gardens. The peaceful protest remained on the sidewalks, and traffic up and down El Camino Real moved without impediment as passing vehicles honked in support of the protest.

Woodridge was the only District that saw an increase in its levy, which went up by 2.8%, slightly higher than the prior year. There were some public comments against the rise but it passed 5-0. The City Council meeting began with an appearance from Atascadero Police Department Police Chief Jerel Haley, who addressed the “8 Cant Wait” nationwide campaign, calling for eight specific policies that need a change in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. Chief Haley pointed to a release on the city website. The Atascadero Police Department outlined how its policies align with the eight in question stating, “Upon looking at those eight criteria, I am pleased to report that most of them have been covered in some detail for some time An exterior photo rendering of the Del Rio Ridge complex by our department.” provided for the Council.

inquired about the return of high school sports following California’s decision to put the power in the hands of the individual districts. Butler responded, saying that the Atascadero School District is working with all the other districts in the county to open up at the same time, for not only sports but other extracurricular activities such as music, so as not to give a competitive advantage to any of the schools. An official timetable for the return was not provided. Butler also expressed cautions will be taken, articulating that it might first happen in small groups and that the District will continue to work with public health to ensure the safety of the students. In closing, the board voted unanimously to place a resolution for a $40 million school bond on the November ballot and the release of one certificated staff member from the District.
