s the attention of the nation begins to shift toward reawakening of the community and the economy, San Luis Obispo County takes aim at local actions to participate. On Tuesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom scripted a roadmap without specific timelines that spoke to the loosening of shelter orders statewide, but also to the localization of control. San Luis Obispo County Administrative Officer Wade Horton reported the County is working to establish a panel to bring information to the public about a scheduled return to an open community. I’m proud of what our community is doing together,” Horton said. “We believe our county will be in a good position to begin a phased reopening in our communities while CONTINUED ON PAGE A16

Business owners collaborate and donate to fulfill healthcare and public needs By NICHOLAS MATTSON nic@pasoroblespress.com

s COVID-19 hit the Central Coast, frontline workers at hospitals were going face-to-face with the novel coronavirus and quickly called out to health officials about the need for personal protective equipment. The owner of Birch Fabrics, Cynthia Mann, saw a need for the masks locally, and immediately put her employees to work donating their time and fabric to the cause. “My store donated the fabric and the sewing groups made

the masks and donated them,” Mann said. “Ellie Kelley delivered a bunch to Twin Cities.” Mann was the lead supplier in getting the burgeoning industry up, and Kelley took it from there. Also joining the local ranks, Scissor Clothing owner Kate White fulfilled orders for local healthcare needs. “I jumped in on it and did some research with a friend’s husband who is a molecular biologist,” Kelley said. “We CONTINUED ON PAGE A16

CITY

City Circulates COVID-19 Community Survey Two surveys out to collect important pandemic-related information STAFF REPORT

he City of Paso Robles is seeking input from local residents and businesses on how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting their daily lives and livelihoods. The city has posted a resident survey and a business survey to the City website and encourages all Paso Robles residents and businesses to participate. The surveys should take 5 minutes or less to complete. They are anonymous, although there is an option for businesses to provide contact information if they would like to be connected to local resources. According to Mayor Steve Martin, “Just as trustworthy data is needed to evaluate the extent of COVID-19, we need to know how the disease is affecting our residents and local businesses in order to provide effective assistance. I’ve always said a strong economy makes a strong community. We want to support our residents and local businesses to ensure both. Stay strong, Paso Robles!” In addition to helping the City better serve the community, the data collected will help to provide important information to local agencies developing pandemic-related resources and relief options. To take the surveys, available in English or Spanish, or for more COVID-19-related information, go to prcity.com.

COVID-19 NEWS

We need to know how the disease is affecting our residents and local businesses in order to provide effective assistance.

uring this time in the COVID-19 crisis, while Governor Newsom has ordered that all nonessential businesses close their doors, many local restaurants are still working hard and adapting to the new work climate to continue bringing us all the meals we love. Some places have had to rearrange their menus, switch to delivery, and curbside pickup while others will give you a box of ingredients that you can cook yourself. The Atascadero News and The Paso Robles Press took time over the last week to reach out and research some local restaurants that are still operating and have provided a list below of valuable information to each restaurant and how they are operating. ODYSSEY CAFE Hours: Monday-Sunday 12 - 7:30 pm (open till 8 pm on Friday and Saturday) Odyssey Cafe in Paso Robles had made the transition into take-out orders and even served up an Easter Special that customers could pick up beforehand. Odyssey is also serving up daily specials and family meals that can be seen each day on their website and consist of things like Mama’s Meatloaf, Chicken Parmesan, or your choice of a couple different items. SENOR SANCHOS Hours: Daily 4 - 8 pm Señor Sanchos has cut back their hours but are still offering their food to customers via curbside pickup and have also set up a delivery system on orders over $30 with a 10% service charge that goes directly to their drivers, which are their employees using their cars and gas. Señor Sanchos has also started mixing up all their favorite margaritas and cocktails (completely premade) into mason jars that can also be picked up or delivered and enjoyed in the comfort of your own home for the first time and Happy Hour is still running from 4 pm to 6 pm. Taco Tuesday’s are also always on, even during the shelter-at-home orders, but the specials will only be available for pickup. Señor Sanchos also posted a message on their Facebook page on March 27

ESSENTIAL HEROES

DISTANCE LEARNING

Essential Heroes: Geoff Auslen

LEARNING IN THE TIME OF CORONA Local schools districts adapt to a new reality of service By MARK DIAZ NORTH COUNTY — As the landscape changes during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Atascadero Unified School District and the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District continue their mission to serve and teach the children under their care. “In every big change, we learn things that are going to be so valuable for our future,” PRJUSD Chief Academic Officer Carol Kenyon said. From every angle, the abrupt transfer of every AUSD and PRJUSD student and teacher into a long-distance learning program was an immediate challenge. Logistically, coordinating technology, online resources, feeding students in need, supporting the kids mental well being, and a myriad of other unforeseen demands is a gargantuan task. Parents already dealing with the complexity of being a provider who suddenly cannot provide must now learn how to be a full-time grief counselor and assume the role of an accredited instructor. Children, the most powerless of us, now have no reprieve from siblings or parents and are suddenly demanded to learn how to learn in a completely foreign way. Teenagers, whose world revolves around social access and status, now find themselves alone and forced to be with their family like some extended Thanksgiving, all the while feeling robbed of milestone celebrations like graduations and proms. Circumstances demand administrators and educators take the challenge head-on — and leave no child behind. “The educational system is complex,” Kenyon said, “and we have some kids with some really big needs, and during this time of school closure, we still need to meet the needs of all students.” Fortunately, both school districts had already embraced technology and offsite learning. Using tools such as Google Classroom, kids who were sick could log in to catch up on missed lessons and assignments. The foresight of having established the groundwork for online education has been invaluable. “We’ve been doing everything we can to make sure that every child in our district and family has a device as well as access,” AUSD Superintendent Tom Butler said. Butler approximated that 95 percent of the families have Chromebooks in hand. He said that those who do not have a school-issued device, a high percentage of them are using their own devices to access school lessons and work online. Kenyon said that Paso already had Chromebooks in the hands of students sixth through 12th grade and expanded the program to include third through fifth grades. The Board recently voted to purchase additional Chromebooks to supply the remaining pre-kindergarten through second-grade students at the cost of $408,446.25. An expenditure Superintendent Dr. Curt Dubost called a difficult decision for the district that is already in the throes of hacking away at its diminished budget. “It was a hard decision, to be

honest with you, on Friday to move forward on this,” Dubost said in the last board meeting, “when we don’t have enough money to spend $400,000 on something I have serious questions about whether it is the right thing to do but don’t think we have an alternative, under the circumstances, I just don’t.” To provide educational support for students and possible technical support for parents, both districts established “office hours” for teachers. Two hours out of the day, teachers make themselves available to respond to emails and take phone calls to give a little extra help where needed. School systems also assume the role of mental health care workers. School officials and teachers are mandatory reporters, meaning they are required by law to report to Child Welfare Services if they fear for the child’s safety. On top of that, the districts provide a robust system to address psychological and emotional needs for children, something that has only escalated since the outbreak. Protocols are also set in place to catch those kids that may fall through the cracks or loose contact the schools. “ We have a team that consists of intervention specialists, psychologists and mental health therapists that all work in tandem with our teachers and our site administrators to identify any students that may seem to be any type of indication that additional support is needed or that additional contact needs to be made,” Kenyon said. “This is time to be on high alert.” “Teachers are really wellversed in identifying needs in students, so they can quickly refer them to the council, or the counselor can reach out to them,” AUSD Superintendent Tom Butler said. “We also have a wellness center with highly trained professionals, which we’re really pleased to have at this time.” At the time of writing this article, San Luis Obispo County Superintendent Dr. James Brescia has closed school until May 4, while many other schools in California have decided to close indefinitely until the next school year. AUSD and PRJUSD say they will continue with their current school calendar except for social and sporting events. However, both districts affirm that precious milestones of graduation will not be robbed from their students. “The good news is that we will absolutely have a graduation,” said Kenyon. She continued, “We’ve scheduled dates into the future that depending on when we’re all allowed to be back together again; that’s when graduation will occur.” “I want the community to know that we’re working on all those things on how do we have a graduation ceremony that honors the accomplishments of the students and also allows families to enjoy that moment and be proud of that moment,” Butler said. Each generation faces unique trails and tribulations that they overcome, learn from, and eventually use to lecture their children when they complain. The cliche “I had to walk to school uphill both ways” lecture will evolve into the “I was stuck inside the house for months” lecture where parents will inevitably say, “I would’ve done anything to go to school and see my friends.”

Glenn’s Repair helps fuel San Luis Obispo County

By MARK DIAZ ATASCADERO — Glenn’s Repair located at 5025 El Camino Real, Atascadero continues to serve the community by being one of the main provides of propane for the County. Founded in 1968, Geoff Auslen is the fourth owner of the iconic shop. Initially, a service-only business, Auslen, said that Glenn’s has grown not only to include repairs but also selling and renting tools and, most importantly, selling propane. In its fiftyfirst year of operation, Glenn’s finds itself as a significant propane filling station for both residents and county needs amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. “We originally made the decision to stay open, and then we checked with the County, and they wanted us to stay open because we’re a fueling station,” Auslen said. Natural gas is a vital source of energy for many residents in the county. Auslen said that there are a lot of people who cannot afford to fill a 400-gallon tank, and his business allows people to refill five to seven-gallon tanks at an affordable price. The gas is used to heat a home, cook a meal, and provide hot water for a shower. The business also helps keep nonprofit agencies like ECHO and Loaves and Fishes stocked with the gas so they can continue to assist the less fortunate, many of the trailers the County is using need propane to function.

Geoff and Kate Auslen, center, receive commendation from then-mayor Tom O’Malley, center-right, along with the Glenn’s Rental and Repair staff. File photo “It’s tapering off a little bit because I think the panic is over, and now people are just trying to keep things full. But when this first started...we were seeing one to three truckloads a day from our distributor,” Auslen said. Auslen estimated that initially, Glenn’s Repair was distributing between 400 to 1,200 gallons of propane a day. To put the amount into perspective, Auslen said that the shop generally pumps out 1,200 gallons of propane a week on average. Like all businesses during the pandemic, Glenn’s is suffering revenue loss. Although propane is a significant portion of his business now, Auslen said that it does not generate a lot of money for the company. Despite the loss in revenue, Glenn’s Repair continues to be open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Although life for most humans has slowed to a crawl, nature marches on. With the recent

rains and warmer weather on its way, the North County is moving swiftly into weed abatement season with fire season right around the corner. Auslen wanted to remind residents that Glenn’s continues to sell and rent yard equipment to keep growth down as well as tools for those finally getting around to planting that garden they’ve been talking about for years. As a member of the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, Auslen worries about the fate of the business community when the pandemic passes and what it will mean for Atascadero’s development. “I think overall hopefully a lot of these places can weather the storm, but I’m sure a few, you know, they’re not going to come back,” Auslen said, “It’s really a shame. You take the community as a whole, downtown was really becoming vibrant again, and now, you wonder, and that’s the hard part.”

TEMPLETON SCHOOL DISTRICT

TUSD Hires Interim Superintendent Aaron Asplund appointed to the superintendent by school board By MARK DIAZ TEMPLETON — On April 3rd, the Templeton Unified School District Board of Trustees unanimously (6-0) appointed Aaron Asplund to superintendent. “I am honored to have been chosen to serve Templeton Schools and our wonderful community,” Aslund said in a written statement. “This is such a special place. We will strive together to continue TUSD’s legacy of excellence and commitment to helping our students reach their fullest potential.” At the beginning of the 2019 school year, Aslund was appointed Interim Superintendent and Chief Business official by the Board after former Superintendent Joe Koski submitted his resignation. On May 28. 2019, Koski notified the Board that he would pursue contract renewal in the following summer. Asplund began working for TUSD at the beginning of the 2008/2009 school year as the District’s Chief Business Official. TUSD stated that it received over 30 applications for the position and had whittled down to seven contenders selected for initial interviews. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, which led

to the hiring process being put on hold, two finalists were selected. Initially, the finalists scheduled to participate in a community forum but was canceled due to social distancing restrictions. “We are excited at the prospects of all his leadership skills have to offer to Templeton’s students, our families, and the community and look forward to brighter days ahead for all,” the TUSD Board of Trustees wrote in a statement.

STAFF REPORT

ontainer gardens are a viable and popular cultivation option, especially for those who have limited sun-exposed spaces or are looking to start small and learn the basics of gardening. “Containers, whether bought or recycled, are a great place to plant herb and vegetable gardens,” says landscape designer, Doug Scott. “But to get it right, there are a few things to keep in mind.” To help you successfully cultivate a container garden, Scott offers the following pointers:

Place your container garden where it will get the optimal amount of sunlight -- between six and eight hours a day. The beauty of container gardens is their movability. You can even follow the sun as exposure changes throughout the seasons. Always refer to the care tags on the specific plant to determine a prime location.

Well-drained, not dry or overly wet soil, is necessary for herb and vegetable growth, so using bottom-draining pots with a peat-based potting soil specifically formulated for herbs and veggies will facilitate proper soil drainage and moisture retention. The proper container size depends on what you’ll be growing. Most small herbs do well in pots as small as eight inches in diameter, while larger plants may require a gallon pot or larger. For visual interest, consider repurposing items around the house to use as your container, such as an old pail.

Incorporate a “thriller, filler, spiller” planting approach to maximize space and aesthetic appeal. This means tall focal plants in back, middle layer plants that fill in, and plants that will cascade over the container in front.

Soil dries out more quickly in container gardens than garden beds, especially if you place containers outdoors in the sun. Perform daily soil moisture checks. You may need to water outdoor container gardens every day -- and possibly twice a day -- in extremely hot weather.

Gardens planted in a container are entirely dependent on you to provide nutrients. Start out with an organic, rich potting soil formulated for container gardens. Then, going forward, fertilize your container every two to four weeks by pouring a nutrient-rich liquid solution directly into the soil. Don’t forget to reap what you sow. Harvesting will generally help increase yields and prevent plants from outgrowing their containers. For best results, use this five-step method: water plants before harvesting, make clean cuts, keep them clean, dry your harvest quickly and store them away from sunlight and moisture. There are a few important considerations that every container gardener should know. Be sure you’re equipped with the proper tools and knowledge before getting started. (StatePoint)

In This Time of Reflection and Global Operation, Remember the Place of the Printing Press — the Conscience of the Nation John F. Kennedy, in reconciling the responsibility of our nation’s newspapers and the authority of the government, gave the following address to the American Newspaper Publishers Association on April 27, 1961:

rights of the First Amendment must yield to the public’s need for national security. Today no war has been declared–and however fierce the struggle may be, it may never be declared in the traditional fashion. Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war John F. Kennedy has been declared, no borders have been 35th president of the united states crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired. want to talk about our common responIf the press is awaiting a declaration of sibilities in the face of a common war before it imposes the self-discipline of danger. The events of recent weeks may combat conditions, then I can only say that have helped to illuminate that challenge no war ever posed a greater threat to our for some; but the dimensions of its threat security. If you are awaiting a finding of have loomed large on the horizon for “clear and present danger,” then I can only many years. Whatever our hopes may be say that the danger has never been more for the future — for reducing this threat or clear and its presence has never been more living with it — there is no escaping either imminent. the gravity or the totality of its challenge It requires a change in outlook, a change to our survival and to our security — a in tactics, a change in missions–by the challenge that confronts us in unaccusgovernment, by the people, by every busitomed ways in every sphere of human nessman or labor leader, and by every activity. newspaper.

stories were loyal, patriotic, responsible and well-meaning. Had we been engaged in open warfare, they undoubtedly would not have published such items. But in the absence of open warfare, they recognized only the tests of journalism and not the tests of national security. And my question tonight is whether additional tests should not now be adopted. The question is for you alone to answer. No public official should answer it for you. No governmental plan should impose its restraints against your will. But I would be failing in my duty to the nation, in considering all of the responsibilities that we now bear and all of the means at hand to meet those responsibilities, if I did not commend this problem to your attention, and urge its thoughtful consideration. On many earlier occasions, I have said– and your newspapers have constantly said– that these are times that appeal to every citizen’s sense of sacrifice and self-discipline. They call out to every citizen to weigh his rights and comforts against his obligations to the common good. I cannot now believe that those citizens who serve in the newspaper business consider themselves exempt from that appeal. I have no intention of establishing a new Office of War Information to govern the flow of news. I am not suggesting any new forms of censorship or any new types of security classifications. I have no easy answer to the dilemma that I have posed, and would not seek to impose it if I had one. But I am asking the members of the newspaper profession and the industry in this country to reexamine their own responsibilities, to consider the degree and the nature of the present danger, and to heed the duty of self-restraint which that danger imposes upon us all. Every newspaper now asks itself, with respect to every story: “Is it news?” All I suggest is that you add the question: “Is it in the interest of the national security?” And I hope that every group in America–unions and businessmen and public officials at every level– will ask the same question of their endeavors, and subject their actions to the same exacting tests. And should the press of America consider and recommend the voluntary assumption of specific new steps or machinery, I can assure you that we will cooperate whole-heartedly with those recommendations. Perhaps there will be no recommendations. Perhaps there is no answer to the dilemma faced by a free and open society in a cold and secret war. In times of peace, any discussion of this subject, and any action that results, are both painful and without precedent. But this is a time of peace and peril which knows no precedent in history.

II.

It is the unprecedented nature of this challenge that also gives rise to your second obligation–an obligation which I share. And that is our obligation to inform and alert the American people–to make certain that they possess

all the facts that they need, and understand them as well–the perils, the prospects, the purposes of our program and the choices that we face. No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary. I am not asking your newspapers to support the Administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed. I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers–I welcome it. This Administration intends to be candid about its errors; for as a wise man once said: “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors; and we expect you to point them out when we miss them. Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed–and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment–the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution–not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply “give the public what it wants,” but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion. This means greater coverage and analysis of international news–for it is no longer far away and foreign but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improved understanding of the news as well as improved transmission. And it means, finally, that government at all levels, must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security–and we intend to do it.

III.

It was early in the Seventeenth Century that Francis Bacon remarked on three recent inventions already transforming the world: the compass, gunpowder and the printing press. Now the links between the nations first forged by the compass have made us all citizens of the world, the hopes and threats of one becoming the hopes and threats of us all. In that one world’s efforts to live together, the evolution of gunpowder to its ultimate limit has warned mankind of the terrible consequences of failure. And so it is to the printing press–to the recorder of man’s deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news–that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.

With GREAT Appreciation, David and Brenda May, Atascadero NEIGHBORHOOD KINDNESS Editor, I would like to tell you about a family in Atascadero. When this virus started that week, I went to my mailbox. Inside, there was a note from one of our neighbors that I have never met. She left us a note which said if we “needed anything from the stores or just someone to talk to, please call her.” My husband and I are in the 65-plus group. We live in Atascadero, where its very hilly and not close to the few stores we have. The person’s name is Jennifer St. John. The day I called her for groceries, she and two cute daughters delivered the groceries and said, “call when we need more no matter what time it was. I never will forget the kindness she has shown us. Since this happened, I learned her husband work for the City of Atascadero. To me, this shows the kind of people live here, and why we are so happy, we moved here. I hope you can use this story to show others about kindness and Atascadero. Alan and Dorothy Wilks, Atascadero

Lee Pitts

COLUMNIST

am a voracious reader of obituaries about people I don’t know and I’ll admit that some obits I read with a deep sense of sadness, and a few with just a smidgin of joy. One conclusion I’ve reached is that far too many obituaries are either too long, or too short. Many people who have led very full, rich and rewarding lives get only a short paragraph or two, while scoundrels, mass murderers, rapists, crooks and career politicians get half a page. Death is like religion and politics in that it’s not something you are supposed to write or talk about, and I do so in this instance with great respect. I have stared death directly in the face a couple times myself and believe me, it is no trifling matter. Life is funny sometimes, but death

never is. Having said all that, I feel I simply must address the issue of less-than-flattering obituaries about folks who deserve better. Let’s face it, we won’t all die at the peak of our obituary value and often times our many virtues and accomplishments aren’t remembered when people are grieving. And I ask you, do you really want to leave the composition of your obituary up to an angry ex-wife, someone who can’t write, or a bunch of ungrateful stepchildren that were left out of your Last Will and Testament? I didn’t think so. The only way to make sure that all your achievements and good qualities are mentioned in the final summary of your life is to write your obituary yourself. Do-it-yourself obituaries, that’s what I’m talking about. Because death is no time to be humble. I’ve written my own obit, hopefully well ahead of its publication date, and it’s so good I can hardly wait to die to have people read about me. Now you too can write your own obit thanks to my new business idea: DIY Obits. Here’s just a sampling of the obituary

templates I hope to be offering soon:

• Enter your name , age 89, died from- a) a long illness; b) being caught in the arms of his mistress; c) a terrible accident involving a vacuum truck and a septic tank. (pick one). • Skeeter Nelson, got married- a) after meeting the love of his life in church; b) being on the wrong end of a loaded shotgun. • Lying Jim Lardbucket was- a) a devoted spouse, loving husband, and wonderful father; b) a no-good, dirty rotten skunk. • Mumsy Flickenfloss was happily married - a) for five of the 35 years she was betrothed; b) so many times we lost count. • Hog Eyed Kate Orpheus had - a) three wonderful children; b) her first marriage end in an annulment and four more marriages end in divorce. • Magpie Sally Shnglebottom III graduated from- a) MIT and Harvard at the top of her class; B) Harvard street elementary school and graduated dead last in her class in beauty college. • Mysterious Dave Mathews was a lifetime member of- a) Rotary; b) the human race.

Mix well. Pour batter into greased 9 x13 inch metal pan and bake approximately 40 minutes in center of preheated oven. (If using glass pan bake at 300 degrees for a bit longer.) For birthdays Jeannie bakes round layers, lining the pans with wax paper and baking for less time. Cakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. When cake has cooled, frost with the following recipe for cream cheese frosting. Ingredients: • 1 cube butter, softened • 8-oz cream cheese, softened • 1 box powdered sugar (1 lb) • 1 teaspoon vanilla Directions: Combine ingredients and mix well. Spread on top of each layer before stacking, then frost total cake and decorate with chopped pecans, fresh edible flowers, etc. Happy Birthday Greg! Thanks for the nice things you do for our community.

• One Thumb Slickpickle had a Gold Card- a) in the PRCA; b) taken away from him by American Express. • Snuffy Rellano served- a) in Korea and Vietnam and flew 35 combat missions; b) 22 years of a life sentence in Leavenworth. • Useless Nestor Windbelly had many jobs including- a) rock polisher, hearing aid mechanic, mystery shopper, network conceptualizer, and airline excuse maker; b) working for the state making license plates. • Miss Salom Ella devoted her retirement years to- a) helping at the hospital, delivering Meals on Wheels and traveling to Ecuador for Habitat for Humanity; b) competing in slot tournaments and collecting Tupperware. • Who Flung Dung leaves behinda) ten kids, 35 grandkids and three angry ex-wives; b) a couple big and burly bill collectors from Caesars Palace.

Please go on the Internet to sign the online registry and make a contribution in his/her name to- a) The American Red Cross; b) DIY Obit. (You didn’t think I’d go to all this trouble for nothing, did you?)

GARY LEE HUFF 1941 – 2020 Gary Lee Huff, 78, of Paso Robles, CA passed away Sunday, April 5, 2020 at his home. He was born in Aldine Township, Norton County Kansas on July 23, 1941.

In his early life, he spent time working on the family farm, operating various types of farm equipment before the family moved to California in 1951. He attended Covina High School and spent his summers traveling back to Kansas for summer work. In 1958 he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and worked as a Radioman on the USS Montrose.

GUBERNATORIAL UPDATE

NEWSOM DELIVERS MESSAGE OF ‘SUNSHINE ON THE HORIZON’ Optimism is couched by high levels of concern and caution

By NICHOLAS MATTSON

s if waking from a slumber, the entire nation begins to discuss what “reopening” will look like for the communities and economy. Now a month into spring, the weather is beginning to beg for revival of spirits, and with local San Luis Obispo County COVID-19 numbers and California state numbers both taking a bend toward the better, discussion among county, state, and national leaders begins to shift toward recovery. “Both showed just a modest increase,” Newsom said of the number of new cases and number of coronavirus-related deaths. “The curve is being bent because of you.” On Monday, California Governor Gavin Newsom set the stage for a Tuesday briefing in which to unveil a collaborative effort between west coast states to open up the community and economy. “I want to continue to remind you of the importance of this work,” Newsom referenced the shelter-at-home effort, “as we continue to come back to some sort of normalcy.” As the weather warms and the economy perks toward reopening, there remains a danger of relapse of the effort that brought the nation and state to a place to consider reopening. “I don’t want to understate the imperative of meeting this moment by practicing appropriate social distancing so we can continue to bend the curve,” Newsom said. “But we are at a point of time that we are beginning to socialize conversations to more formally establish what it would look like to begin the process of incremental release of the stay-at-home orders.” Newsom referenced “behind-thescenes” conversations state leaders have had in planning for recovery of the community and economy on the west coast — specifically, between Washington, Oregon and California. “That spirit [of collaboration] was on display at scale last year with the forest fires we had, particularly in Northern California,” Newsom said. “They brought down mutual aid engines from Oregon and Washington states that allowed us to

This is where COVID-19 exposure in the science must be the guide. We must community. “ We will not be ideological by any means. be driven by facts,” Newsom said. “We will be driven by evidence. We will be driven by science. We will be driven by our public health advisors, and we will be driven by the collaborative spirit that defines the best of us.” The resurgence of economy and mobility will demand a high level of personal care, responsibility, and swift and observant action by individuals to continue suppressing COVID-19. “This transition, where we do see the light at the end of the tunnel, may be the most challenging,” Newsom said. “This is where science must be the guide. We must not be ideological by any means.” On Tuesday, Newsom began with a framework description of what the process of reopening the community and economy will be based on.

GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM concentrate our resources in some of the hot spots in Southern California.” As the plan to ease shelter-at-home orders begins to take shape, it is a coordinated partnership between the states to protect the future of the community and economy. “It is a spirit of collaboration and a spirit of partnership,” Newsom said, “a recognition that this pandemic, this virus, knows no boundaries, no borders, you can’t build walls around it, and you can’t deny basic, fundamental facts.” The opening up of the community and economy is not expected to be swift. It is expected to be slow, possibly shifty between an expansion of mobil-

SIX ELEMENTS OF REOPENING FRAMEWORK 1. Testing and tracking 2. Maintaining our vigilance in protecting the most vulnerable 3. Addressing ongoing needs of hospitals and medical infrastructure 4. Continue the work of engaging academia, research partners, and frontline companies 5. Redrawing “floorplans” to practice safe physical distancing in businesses, schools and public areas 6. Reinstatement of more vigorous controls, moving between stricter and looser guidelines Newsom recognized the voluntary effort of millions of Californians who made the effort to defend against the spread of COVID-19. “You have bent the curve in Califor-

nia,” Newsom said. “The models have changed because of your behavior.” But with a record number of deaths overnight, 758, the governor related that “We are not out of the woods yet. We are not spiking the ball.” Life is not expected to return to a normal the nation knew before, but Newsom and Dr. Sonia Angell both admitted that the current circumstances are not sustainable. The key indicators for loosening of shelter-at-home orders will be largely based on reductions in confirmed cases, hospitalizations and ICU populations. “In two weeks, if we see a decline in hospitalizations and ICUs, and we see this infrastructure, ask me [when we will reopen] then, and we will be able to be more prescriptive,” Newsom said. “We don’t want to put the economy at further risk by opening too early.” The entire message by Newsom was couched in concern and caution but led by optimism because of the effort by millions of Californians. “We are finally seeing some rays of sunshine on the horizon,” Newsom said. “It is incumbent on all of us. We will not pull the plug early.” In answering questions about upcoming summertime activities Californians are accustomed to, specifically beginning with Memorial Day events, Newsom related high doubt that gatherings as usual were not expected to be authorized. “Mass gatherings are negligible at best until we get to herd immunity,” Newsom said. “Events that bring in hundreds or thousands of people are not likely, at least until our models are significantly changed.” However, decisions about those events may be left to local officials and locally regulated. Newsom related that while the state will follow principles in order to maintain positive trends in defense against COVID-19, but that individual communities and counties will be empowered to make decisions locally in order to progress the return to productivity and community engagement. “Because of the scale and scope of California,” Newsom said, “rural and urban, yes, we will be guided by local determinations based on common principles.”

Local Health Officials Emphasize CDC Guidance on Cloth Face Coverings

Face coverings do not change the need for sheltering at home and physical distancing STAFF REPORT

ollowing updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the County of San Luis Obispo Public Health Department encourages residents to wear cloth face coverings if they are unable to maintain a safe six feet of distance from others when conducting essential activities outside of the home,

such as grocery shopping or picking up medicine. The updated CDC guidance reflects the latest evidence about how Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is spread, sometimes by people who do not feel sick. Wearing a face covering primarily protects the people around you if you are infected but do not have symptoms. It may also provide some protection for the wearer. “Staying home as much as possible is the single most important thing you can do to stop the spread of this virus,” said Dr. Penny Borenstein, San Luis Obispo County Health Officer. “Remember to wash your hands often, avoid touching

your face, and stay at least six feet away from others if you need to go out. Cloth face coverings can also add another layer of protection, but only if it remains clean.” Young children (under age two) and people who have difficulty breathing should not wear face coverings. Residents should not use coverings that restrict their ability to breathe. “Dirty face coverings can do more harm than good,” said Dr. Borenstein. “To keep a face covering clean, wash it at least daily with hot water and soap or detergent. When you get home, remove the covering carefully with clean hands— avoid touching your face—and put it in

a sealed bag or container until you can wash it. Wash your hands immediately after removing the mask.” Health officials remind residents not to purchase surgical and N95 masks, so these medical-grade masks can be available for health care providers. See ReadySLO.org for details on how to make your own face covering and how to safely remove and clean it.

A staffed phone assistance center at (805) 543-2444 is available daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for questions related to COVID-19.

‘Be The Light’ Campaign to Honor High School Seniors

Templeton, Paso Robles High School to light up stadiums in nationwide campaign By CONNOR ALLEN

ast Friday evening, the lights at Volunteer Stadium at Templeton High School and War Memorial in Paso Robles shined in honor and support for the class of 2020, the spring sport athletes, coaches and all the families currently affected by the COVID-19 crisis. At exactly 8:20 p.m., the lights turned on at both high school stadiums and remained on for 20 minutes as a part of the “Be The Light” campaign. The “Be The Light” Campaign is a nationwide initiative to honor classes of 2020 through the country as a way for communities to let their students and athletes know that they still care. All social distancing rules still apply, and the campaign urges everyone to stay in their cars. The primary way passerby’s and attendees were asked to show their affection is with a courtesy toot of the horn, which is perfect for North County high school seniors, as that is the community’s instinctual reaction when driving by a high school game in progress. “I think it is a great way to honor our seniors and athletes to show that they haven’t been forgotten since they lost their spring season,” Templeton head football coach Don Crow said. “I think it is a good way to show that people in Templeton still care about them and are thinking about them.” Templeton announced that they would be participating via Facebook, and Paso Robles joined the campaign

as well. “We recently heard about the “light it up” movement from a parent and thought it would be a nice gesture for our students,” Assistant Superintendent Jennifer Gaviola told the Paso Robles Press. “Our class of 2020 seniors are a wonderful group of young adults, and our hearts go out to them during this time. Our students are our purpose ... and we think it is so important to show them that although we are apart, they are still in our hearts.” Atascadero did not join the campaign on Friday night, stating public health concerns for fear that students and families might congregate. “We understand that our students and families are looking for a way to connect when there is a lot of anxiety out there, people are looking to bond with each other,” said AUSD Superintendent Tom Butler, “but at this time given that we are at the height of the coronavirus phases, I think it’s in the best interest of all our safety not to participate.” He continued, “As a school district, we are actively looking for opportunities for when the restrictions on the stay at home order is relaxed, so we can bring our community and our schools back together appropriately when it’s safe.” The theme of the campaign states that “The lights are a beacon to show that we are thinking of our students and that eventually we will come back together and participate again.”

MAKING MASKS CONTINUED FROM A1

researched what kind of fabric to use and how to make the masks.” The knee-jerk reaction in defense against the spread of COVID-19 made personal protective equipment a family name, and people went DIY while waiting for orders for masks to ship. Everything from scarves to plastic cylinders were placed on heads. Kelley studied tutorials to make sure she had the right fit. “If there is any gapping around the nose or the sides, it will not be as effective,” Kelley said. Local health officials encouraged the public not to purchase medical-grade N-95 masks, as those were needed by healthcare workers and in short supply. Local sewing experts filled the gap with expertise and industry to supply the general public with PPE as they battle community spread of COVID-19. The locally-made masks are not medical grade but provide necessary protection for patients or other essential workers — like grocery store or postal service workers — where physical distancing becomes a challenge. For Mann and Kelley, the project began in the last week of March and involved a group of crafters helping from Paso Robles to Nipomo. Kelley, owner of The Breast Vest and mother of two small children, tasked herself with organizing the sewers and the effort to meet the local demand. “In the beginning, I just had my friends,” Kelley said. “I held some Zoom calls and made a PDF template. One particular family put out 60 masks, and some did five. But you add it all up, and it is really helpful.” Local demand for PPE at hospitals has reportedly waned, as SLO County continues to travel a mellow pace in terms

continuing to manage this disease.” “ We are working on the SLO County Roadmap to Phased Reopening to get you out of your houses and reopen the doors of our local businesses,” Horton said. “We are keenly aware of the dramatic impact the shelter-in-place is having on the economic climate of our community.” As the management of community spread continues and comes under some semblance of control, the law enforcement community will face an uptick in concerns as an emergency zero bail order takes effect at 5 p.m. today, releasing inmates from local jails. “There are approximately 30 individuals who might be eligible for release,” SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow said. Dow said his office is working closely with local law enforcement agencies, and the Sheriff ’s department will continue to keep heightened patrols on the streets. “… to be seen, to discourage criminal behavior, and to help the community feel safe,” SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson said. “Safety is our utmost concern.” SLO County Public Health Officer Penny Borenstein reported that cases in the county continue to speak to a flattening of the curve, locally. Three new cases were reported, but one of the new cases needed hospitalization. changes at the hospital moved a positive direction. “One of those is a patient who has long been on a ventilator and who has come off the ventilator,” Borenstein said. Borenstein added the County is fact-finding to confirm the flattening of the curve in the local community.

regarding the steps they are taking to ensure our safety. The statement explained that they have researched the best practices within the industry and are actively using all recommended safeguards available. “We ask our customers to wait outside our front door if your order isn’t ready.,” the message states. “Our friendly staff will greet you at the door to conduct business. Please let me know if any experience with Sanchos during this time is questionable. The health and safety of our staff and customers is the most important obligation.” THOMAS HILL ORGANICS Thomas Hill Organics has closed its doors due to the COVID-19 crisis, but you can still order family meals to go and pick them up on either Sunday, Wednesday, or Friday. To ensure everyone’s safety, Thomas Hill Organics has customers select a 15-minute window to pick up their orders to avoid gatherings of more than a few people. They are currently offering meals for one person up to family meals of four, which can be accessed on their website. COLONY MARKET Hours: Monday - Friday 10 am - 2 pm Colony Market has also had to make some changes

like Kelley’s filling gaps for patients and others. “We made about 225 masks,” Kelley said. “They are going directly to the nurses. I have a nurse who takes them

to Marian and one who takes them to Twin Cities.” While demand for PPE at the local level is met, the nation faces pocket surges, and local suppliers can donate across state lines. “Eighty percent of everything we’re producing will be kept here locally for the hospitals and supporting industries that relate to the care of these patients,” Mann said. “The Assistant Director at Twin Cities has reached out to us with a request for masks. It’s not just doctors and nurses on the front line that we’re helping support. We’re making masks for respiratory therapists, homebirth midwives, physical therapists, housekeepers, phlebotomists, cooks, administration, and more.” The demand for PPE came on strong over the past few weeks, and Kate White of Scissors Clothing began making masks for local healthcare workers before broadening her scope to include personal orders. “My mom saw something on The View that said if you are a sewer that you should just start sewing masks.” White said. “I reached out to a nurse friend of mine, and she got back to me that they were running low.” Like many retail stores, Scissors Clothing closed due to shelter-at-home orders by the County. White took that time to begin making masks for those on the frontlines. “These are not medical grade masks,” White said. “They are just personal-use masks.” Both Kelley and White began making masks to meet the need in hotspots around the healthcare community, but with national recommendations to use masks whenever venturing into public, demand has grown. “About a week ago, when the CDC recommended masks, I started getting requests,” White said. “At first, it was

just for healthcare, but it turned into an opportunity to reopen our store.” White posted her local supply for PPE masks to her Instagram account, and demand skyrocketed. Her approach was to make a mask donation for every order. “Pay what you want, but any mask order will get a donation match,” White said. “In about three days, I had 400 orders. Because of this, I’ve been able to hire my employee back full time. She is at the store cutting, and I’m at home sewing.” White and Kelley provide unique styles. Kelley’s masks wrap around the back of the head with ties, and White’s attaches with elastic that wraps around the ears. The two represent an enormous effort happening all over the country as the nation works to “flatten the curve.” “A lot of people are sewing masks,” White said. “It is like a wartime effort. We are trying to remain community-oriented. There are so many hands on deck.” Kelley has also been able to fill the demand for healthcare and essential workers and turn attention to demand from the general public. “With everyone needing masks now, I’ll spend half my time making free masks and will begin to sell masks on my website,” Kelley said. Both Kelley and White are looking forward to getting back to life as “normal” as possible.
