Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance Celebrates Successful ‘Vintage Paso’
Templeton Hills Community Farm Prepares for First Anniversary Celebration By CAMILLE DeVAUL camille@pasoroblespress.com TEMPLETON — Templeton Hills Community Farm will be celebrating its First Anniversary on Sunday, Apr. 18. Members of the farm invite everyone to join them for a farm tour, refreshments, and fresh produce as they celebrate one year of impacting their community. Open to all members of the community, the farm is located between the Templeton Hills Seventh-Day Adventist Church and school. The farm opened in March 2020, right at the start of the pandemic. But despite lockdowns, the farm managed to more than double their crop production within one year. Pastor Zac Page of the Templeton Hills Seventh-day Adventist Church said, “During these difficult times when people have been feeling socially isolated, the farm has become a place for people of CONTINUED ON PAGE A15

Over 100 wineries participated in the COVID-friendly event, welcoming visitors back safely By CAMILLE DeVAUL camille@pasoroblespress.com
P
aso Robles Wine Country Alliance (PRWCA) celebrated their Vintage Paso: Zinfandel weekend on Mar. 19 through the 21. More than 100 wineries participated in the newly designed and COVID-friendly event.
In previous years, PRWCA hosted a single marquee event featuring Paso Robles Zinfandel wines with indoor wine tasting, food, and music. Due to COVID restrictions on large indoor gatherings, PRWCA had to change things up a bit. Vintage Paso: Zinfandel has been taking place since 2014 and was previously known as the Paso Robles Zinfandel Festival. However, the PRWCA has been hosting a Zinfandel-themed festival on the third weekend of March since 1992. Instead of hosting one single event, Vintage Paso was spread across three days, with wineries hosting their own outdoor
events while still adhering to county and state health guidelines. “By hosting individual, smaller scale and more intimate events, they were able to welcome visitors safely back into wine country. The weekend weather was spectacular and allowed for visitors to be outdoors and socially separated. Wineries provided some entertainment and food options through the weekend to visitors who were mostly welcomed by reservation only,” said Chris Taranto, the Communications Director at PRWCA. Wineries like Sarzotti Family Vineyards and Winery provided a tri-tip lunch and
PASO PEOPLE
musical entertainment with their tasting. Ranchita Canyon poured three different Zinfandel wines paired with small specialty bites. Many wineries throughout the county had music and specialty food for their weekend tasters. All the participating wineries were by reservation only, and many of them were completely booked up for the weekend, meaning a successful three days for the wineries overall. Each year, the PRWCA hosts three large events, which come with themed weekends CONTINUED ON PAGE A15

ome have called him the “Son of Paso Robles,” being his birthday, October 9, 1944, often lands on Pioneer Day. Some also call him brother, a friend, and a square dance partner. His name is Robert (Bobby) Oeck. He is a Paso Robles High School Alumni and Paso Robles native with deep family ties to the town. And when Bobby was only 12 years old, he was in a car accident that changed his life forever. In June of 1956, while on a road trip near Denver, Colorado, with his grandfather, Max Oeck Sr. suffered an apparent heart attack, and their vehicle missed a curve, going over a 10-foot embankment. Unfortunately, Max Oeck Sr. did not survive, and Bobby’s recovery was often described as a miracle. When Bobby was found in the aftermath of the accident, he was believed to be dead. But after finding a faint heartbeat was rushed to the Children’s Hospital in Denver. Bobby and his grandfather Max Oeck were the only two in the vehicle at the time. After two operations, Bobby was in a coma for six weeks. Miraculously on the road to recovery from a compound skull fracture,

TEMPLETON — Last Easter, in lieu of COVID lockdowns, some Templeton residents started a virtual egg hunt, resulting in an international phenomenon. With the help of friends in the community, Shauna Soltero brought the idea of a virtual egg hunt to life. Originally, Soltero thought the hunt would only reach North County. To her surprise, eggs were found in 2,096 locations, including 43 states and 16 countries. This year, as of Mar. 30, there are
“It’s so beautiful to see the smiles on people’s faces and everybody getting involved. I love that about our community in general,” said Soltero. Soltero originally came up with the egg hunt idea to cheer up children who were missing out on their traditional Easter egg hunts, which were canceled along with all other social activities. Unintentionally, the egg decorating and virtual hunt became more than just for the children. CONTINUED ON PAGE A15

Bearcats Find Their Identity Friday Night with Comeback Victory
15 points down to a win 29-22 By CONNOR ALLEN
PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles Bearcats made the trip over the Grade on Friday night in search of not only their first win of the season but also their first points against new Mountain League challenger San Luis Obispo. The Bearcats fell behind early, down 15-0 in the first half, but came charging back in the second half with 22 unanswered points to win 29-22 and move to 1-1 in the league. Following a tough 44-0 loss in week one to the St. Joseph Knights, Paso Robles entered Friday’s game looking for a fresh start against a team that was young and inexperienced like the Bearcats, who only return two offensive starters this spring. Friday night was the Tigers’ first game of the season, and on their first play connected on a 44-yard touchdown pass and went up 7-0. The Tigers added a second score on another Darian Mensa touchdown pass, this one only 10-yards to Max Threlkel, in
the second quarter after the Bearcats turned it over on their second possession. The fear of another lopsided game crept into the minds of those in crimson as Paso Robles was down 15-0. In their third offensive possession, the Bearcats drove the ball down the field on the ground using misdirection and power through a mixture of Wing-T and basic power I formations but found themselves behind the sticks in the red zone. On second and third down, PRHS quarterback Travon Bridewell rolled out left and threw passes out of the back of the endzone, bringing up 4th and goal from the 13-yard line. Trailing 15-0 without a point scored all season, PRHS head coach Matt Carroll dialed up the fabled Statue of Liberty, and the Bearcats executed it to perfection. Sophomore Leo Kemp took the handoff, charged into the endzone, and the visitor’s sideline erupted. “I knew how one-dimensional we were in our passing game, so I said, ‘Ok, let’s try this.’” Coach Carroll told the Paso Robles Press. “We had been practicing that Statue
of Liberty play, and what do you know, we sprint out, we run the Statue of Liberty, and Leo Kemp scores on it. That was really just the offensive line being able to do the things that they do. I am so impressed with how smart they are and how hard they work.” The Tigers scored on their next possession and took a 22-7 lead into halftime, but it was the last time they would score on Paso Robles. Defensive Coordinator Tim Alvord preached the importance of “doing your job” at halftime, and the defense responded with a shutout in the second half. Paso Robles came out of the locker room a new team with new life and dominated the Tigers for the final 24 minutes. The Bearcats scored on their first three possessions of the second to take the lead and only stopped on their fourth possession to take a knee. Paso Robles found their identity Friday night, and it is one of downhill running behind a smart and physical offensive line. The five Bearcat starters on the line are Wesley Bennet at center, Nathan Guerrero and Gavin Hamamoto at guards, and
Bastiaan Jaureguy and Dominic Weber playing tackle. Paso Robles ran for 250 total yards on the evening and very nearly finished with two running backs over the century mark. Kemp, the sophomore, finished with 160 yards and two touchdowns while Jake Morones, a junior, racked up 95-yards and a single touchdown. However, the clinching score came through the air on a 21-yard strike from Bridewell to tight end Gabriel Tabarez late in the fourth quarter. After pounding the ball for much of the second half, Bridewell faked the handoff, rolled to his right, and hit his tight end, who was sprinting for the pylon. “We knew the run game was going to open up,” Carroll explained. “We did some things differently that we didn’t do against St. Joe, we knew that was going to happen, but the real difference-maker was our quarterback understanding that sometimes throwing the five-yard out is better than trying to take the deep shot. Sometimes you have to take the candy early to open up a defense.”

Paso Robles scored 22 unanswered points in the second half to come from behind and win 29-22. Defensively the Bearcats dialed up the pressure late in the game and began tackling much better than in the first half. Linebacker Jacob Lambeth played a fantastic game for PRHS, recording two huge sacks on third down when Paso Robles needed it most. Paso Robles is now 1-1 on the season and will look for their second win this Friday when they play Righetti in Santa Maria. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Lady Bearcats Softball Team Dominates Home Opener Softball makes a return By CONNOR ALLEN

PASO ROBLES — The Lady Bearcats softball team held their home opener on Wednesday night and crushed their way to a 9-3 victory over the Morro Bay. Paso Robles hung four runs on the Pirates in the first inning before recording an out and then cruised on the arms of Hannah Chambers and Brooklyn Pesenti. Chambers, who started the game in place of Jaiden Ralston while dealing with a tight hamstring, pitched a strong game in her first outing of the season, giving up only two hits and one earned run over five innings of work.
“I really liked that my catcher was able to call my pitches, and my defense was definitely there to back me up,” Chambers told the Paso Robles Press. “As a whole, we all flowed really well together.” The senior captain spent much of the pandemic developing some new pitches and showed a few of them off on Wednesday to unsuspecting hitters. While Chambers has a few new weapons in the arsenal, her reliable screwball drew the most swings and misses against the Pirates. “I was super excited to try out some of my new pitches that I learned over the summer and the new strength that I have built over the past few months,” Chambers explained. “COVID has been a little bit of a blessing in disguise because
I have been able to grow and lift weights and stuff like that.” In this extended offseason, she has added three new pitches to her repertoire in a rise ball, drop ball and an especially nasty changeup that drew the largest whiff of the afternoon on Wednesday. Offensively, the Crimson Cats looked supercharged as nine different girls registered a hit in the game. Paso Robles scored the majority of their runs in two innings, exploding for four runs in the first inning and four more in the fourth. The Bearcats also scored one run in the fifth inning thanks to a moonshot from junior first baseman Andie Dizon who has begun the season in the zone. Dizon has registered four hits, a home run and three RBI
through two games this season. “We did a little bit of everything today on offense,” Bearcat head coach Billy Tidwell said. “We did all the fundamental stuff, and we hit some good pitches. I am happy with what they are swinging at—we have one or two girls that are struggling—but we have had a pleasant surprise with the bottom half of the lineup. We put up four in the first inning before registering an out; I will take that any day. Then, Andie Dizon bangs one 300 feet; we’re hoping she does that all year long.” Pesenti entered the game in the fifth inning and struggled just a bit in her first varsity outing but quickly regained her confidence and closed out the game striking out the final two batters she faced.
“We have two games on Saturday, and Jaiden [Ralston] is nursing a bit of a hamstring right now, so these two are going to have to be ready to go giving us three innings or four innings apiece,” Tidwell noted. “Hannah [Chambers] was cruising and did a good job getting out of a little trouble. Brooklyn, being a sophomore, I asked her if she was ready, and we found out she wasn’t. She came in a little colder than she thought she was; I’m sure a little bit of that was nerves with it being her first varsity inning.” Saturday, the Bearcats will be in San Luis Obispo for a doubleheader against the Mission Prep Royals. The first game is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. and can be watched live on the VOP Sports Network.

Track and Field Joins Football, Softball, Baseball, Golf and Water Polo Weekly North County Sports Update By CONNOR ALLEN ATASCADERO The Atascadero Greyhound football team took a trip to San Luis Obispo on Friday night to open their Ocean League schedule but were entirely outmatched by Mission Prep, losing, 56-6. Atascadero trailed the Royals 42-0 at halftime. Sophomore running back scored the lone touchdown for the Hounds in the fourth quarter and finished with 80 yards rushing on 13 carries. Saturday, the Atascadero softball team traveled to Santa Maria for a doubleheader against St. Joseph but fell in both games 7-3, 9-1, respectively. The Greyhounds struggled to generate offense all afternoon and are still working to find their next ace as their starting pitcher for the past four years is now throwing shutouts for the Cal Poly Mustangs. AHS is now 1-3 on the season, with their lone win coming against Mission Prep, 4-0. The Greyhound baseball team is also off to a slow start and having trouble generating offense. Still, under head coach Joe Davis, Atascadero teams have come on late in the season, and with little practice this year and athletes in multiple sports, it might take them a while to get the offense going. Atascadero is 0-3 after falling to Nipomo 5-1 on Wednesday.

Alex Dahlen led the way for Templeton as each recorded multiple hits and accounted for three RBI. The Templeton Eagle boys baseball team also began their season with two games last week, one against Mission Prep and one against Morro Bay, winning them both by a combined score of 14-3. On Wednesday, Templeton opened their season in San Luis Obispo and won thanks largely to a giant fifth inning where they scored eight runs. Up until the fifth inning, the game was knotted at zero. Saturday, The Eagles hosted the Pirates in their home opener and soared to victory on Merek Hall and Robbie Lardner’s arms. Hall got the ball to start the game and kept the strong Pirate lineup, who scored 30 runs against Atascadero in two games, off-balance and guessing for his three innings before handing the ball to Lardner who closed out the games final four. Hall gave up one hit, no runs, and recorded four strikeouts over three while Lardner gave up three hits, one run, and struck out seven. Local track and field teams have also begun their spring action as Atascadero hosted Templeton on Saturday morning. The Templeton boys won 55-18 while the girls lost 35-31. The Eagles track and football teams see quite a bit of cross-over as some boys had weekends to brag about. After rushing for 130 yards and three touchdowns on Friday night, Berna set a personal best in the 100-meters with a time of 11.30. Following a night in the trenches, Chase Richards dominated both throwing events hitting 43’8” in the shot put and 138’5” in the discus. The Eagles swept the sprints against Atascadero on the girls side. Merran Grindley showed she is still one of the top sprinters in the county with a 100-meter time of 13.76, while Emily Bundy took first in the 200-meters with a time of 29.11 and Maya Gutierrez won the 400-meter with a time of 1:14.69.
TEMPLETON Friday night, the Templeton Eagles hosted their second consecutive game to start the football season and welcomed in their rivals, the Morro Bay Pirates, for a hometown beatdown, winning 42-0 and keeping the Clash of the Coast trophy safe at home. For the second consecutive game, quarterback Tyler Kaschewski and running back Josh Berna combined for over 200 yards, rushing and did so while sitting out the majority of the second half. Berna rushed for 133 yards on 19 carries and scored three touchdowns, while Kaschewski ran for 177 yards on only ten carries. Kaschewski’s lone score came on an 80-yard gallop through the middle of the Pirates defense in the second quarter. Not only did Templeton’s offense show up, but its defense also received valuable reps, intercepting two passes before the Eagles start their daunting Mountain League schedule to finish the season. Templeton is 2-0 on the season and will host Arroyo Grande this Friday night. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. The Templeton girls softball team played twice in the last week to begin their season and split the games defeating Pioneer Valley 8-2 on Wednesday and dropping a heartbreaker to Arroyo Grande 6-5 on Saturday. This weekend’s game against Arroyo Grande was a back-and-forth exhibition of excitement. Arroyo Grande opened up the scoring by putting four runs on the board in the top of the third inning. Templeton responded immediately with four runs of their own in the bottom half. AG added an additional run in the fourth, and Templeton responded in the fifth. Heading into the final frame, it was tied at five apiece. However, Arroyo Grande was able to hit long ball in the seventh and ultimately won 6-5. Charlotte Forniss gave up six hits and two earned runs in seven innings of work and struck out five. Offensively, Bella Backer and
PASO ROBLES The Bearcat baseball team kicked off their season last Saturday and are off to a hot 3-0 start to the year. Paso Robles played two games this past week, hosting Taft on Friday night and heading to Pioneer Valley on Saturday afternoon and won 12-0 and 9-8, respectively. Both offenses were strong on Saturday, but the Bearcats were stronger as they recorded 14 hits through the seven-inning contest. Pioneer Valley jumped out to an early 3-2 in the first inning, but the Bearcats dropped a touchdown on the Panthers in the third to go up 9-3 and held on in the final innings. Austin Taylor got the start and earned the win for PRHS against Pioneer Valley. Taylor surrendered seven runs on six hits over three and a third innings, striking out four. Anthony Garcia came on in relief and closed the game recorded the final 11 outs and the save. Offensively, Chase Stratman and Brandon Bonham led the way with three hits apiece. Bonham also recorded two RBI along with designated hitter Drew Wade. The Bearcat softball team played a doubleheader on Saturday and remained perfect as the offense bludgeoned their way to 12-3 and 13-4 victories. With Jaiden Ralston resting her hamstring, it was up to pitchers Hannah Chambers and Brooklyn Pesenti this weekend. The
two girls were fantastic in the circle and are quickly showing that the Bearcats have far and away the best and deepest pitching rotation in the county. In the first game, the sophomore Pesenti got the start, the first of her PRHS career, but she didn’t need to worry as her running mate, Chambers, put the game well out of reach with the bat in her hand. Chambers hit not one but two home runs in the game, the first a three-run shot and the second a grand slam to total six RBI. Pesenti pitched four and one-third innings, giving up three earned runs on five hits with seven strikeouts. After her herculean effort at the plate in the first game, Chambers started the second game pitching and surrendered four runs in the second inning, but it wasn’t nearly enough to catch the PRHS offense that recorded 15 hits in the game. While Chambers led the offense in the first game, it was first baseman Andie Dizon that led the Lady Bearcats in the second. Dizon finished 4-for-4 with five RBI and a home run of her own. In the pool, the Paso Robles water polo teams faced off against the Greyhounds and swept their rivals, winning 12-7 on the boy’s side and 10-6 on the girls. Tre Eade and Reily Lowry led the way offensively for the Bearcats. Eade finished as the leading scorer with five goals, while Lowry finished four.

Rotary Clubs Collaborate to Support the Homeless Local Rotary Clubs provide members with community speakers, and provide networking for local business and community leaders STAFF REPORT PASO ROBLES — Helen Keller’s famous quote, “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much,” is inspiring local Rotary Clubs to practice “Service above Self ” by partnering with other clubs to provide service to ECHO Homeless Shelter in Paso Robles. Rotary Clubs have recognized the increase in unsheltered people in the North County, which has been heavily influenced by the COVID pandemic and economic downturn. Many of these residents have turned to living in cars, or camping in unsafe areas. ECHO is a local organization supporting unsheltered families and residents with their Atascadero and Paso Robles locations. The goal of ECHO is to empower people in San Luis Obispo who are unsheltered to make positive change by providing food, shelter, and supportive services. Many of the needs of this unsheltered population are things that sheltered residents take for granted. The local Rotary Clubs of Cayucos, Atascadero, Paso Robles, and North County Rotaract have stepped up to meet many of these needs. Rotary is an international organization of local clubs. Rotary International is comprised of over a million members
and is credited with supporting International Polio Prevention efforts and other health projects worldwide. Internationally, Rotarians are also working on COVID prevention, Peace initiatives, providing clean drinking water, and supporting ecological projects in rural and urban areas. Local Rotary Clubs provide members with community speakers, and provide networking for local business and community leaders, who work together to provide scholarships and support other local needs. Paso Robles Rotary Club members Cynthia Anthony and Joe Irick have communicated directly with ECHO to determine real-time needs. Along with the Rotary Clubs of Atascadero, Cayucos, Paso Robles Sunrise, and North County Rotaract members have worked together to provide items needed, assembled household item bags and toiletries. Atascadero Rotary has had a longstanding relationship with ECHO, starting with the ECHO shelter there. They have come together to work on the Empty Bowls fundraiser, providing up to $40,000 each year in pre-pandemic times. Artisans provided handmade bowls, which are auctioned off and filled with soups to benefit local unsheltered families. Paso Robles Sunrise Rotary has donated small-size toiletries, which are easy to carry and provide unsheltered people a sense of respect and normalcy. They also provide items for dental hygiene. North County Rotaract is a newly formed Rotary group of young professionals who network and collaborate on community service projects. Their presi-
dent, Evan Langstaff, reports their contribution to ECHO has been gas cards. Unsheltered residents often live without extra cash, which can prevent them from getting to job interviews, healthcare appointments, or court dates. Missing any of these can result in increased health and financial burdens. Gas cards provide ECHO a way to help their clients maintain independence and normalcy. Cayucos Rotary has contributed gift cards for food. While ECHO provides a meal service, unhoused clients need food for themselves and their children. Giving them the choice to purchase items they desire ensures they are taking advantage of the gift and provides a sense of normalcy and dignity. One of the most well-supported needs Rotary has met has been with the “Drop Your Drawers” project. Paso Robles Rotary meets via zoom in our socially distanced world. Using Zoom and other media, they have solicited new underwear of all sizes and shapes to provide to ECHO clients. Members of Paso Rotary, “Drop their Drawers” at local Rotarians businesses, for “hands-free delivery” to Echo clients. Rotarians participating in this include Rick Goree of State Farm Insurance, Jennifer Idler of Idlers Home Paso Robles, and the Paso Robles Chamber of Commerce. Over 800 pairs of underwear of all sizes have been donated. In addition to this project, Paso Robles Rotary volunteers have provided a food warming station for the Paso Cares Meal Service Project. ECHO offers a hot meal at their new location, the former Motel 6 in Paso Robles. Paso Robles Rotary

also provided a sanitary utensil cleaning station to service this program, shelves, clothing racks, and a storage shed. Rotarians in all of the involved clubs are excited and happy to be meeting the needs of ECHO and their clients. The Cayucos, Atascadero, and Paso Robles Sunrise Clubs plan on continuing their avenues of service to the shelter. Paso Robles Rotary and North County Rotaract are planning on providing storage space, meals, and other services. Rotary welcomes community members to find out more or to get involved in Rotary’s “Service above Self ”.

STAFF REPORT TEMPLETON — Cancer Support Community CA Central Coast (CSC-CCC) is pleased to announce Jessica Main as the new Executive Director taking over for Shannon D’Acquisto. D’Acquisto recently left her role with CSC-CCC to become the Director at Hearst Cancer Resource Center in San Luis Obispo. The
Board wants to thank D’Acquisto for her six years of excellent service to the organization as the Executive Director and the previous four years on the Board of Directors. Main and D’Acquisto look forward to having the two organizations collaborate to serve the community. Main is an active member of the North County community, where she has been involved in numerous boards and the former CEO of the Templeton Chamber of Commerce. Main is excited to take on this new role as the Executive Director of the CSC-CCC to continue the great work of offering free Cancer Support resources to Cancer patients and their families. CSC-CCC offers weekly support groups, education, restorative fitness, hats and wigs, family programs, patient navigation, helpline, counseling, grupo de apoyo, resources, and more to all people touched by cancer so that no one

In November 2018, Main took on the CEO role for the Templeton Chamber of Commerce and served that organization well until June of 2020. Due to COVID19 losses, the Templeton Chamber Board of Directors had to make the difficult decision to lay her off. From July to December
2020, Main was the contracted Media Coordinator and Marketing Manager for San Luis Obispo County in the Clerk Recorders Office performing the Voter Outreach and Education for the Nov. 3 General Election. Main lives in North County with her two children, enjoys spending time with her animals and competes in Three Day Equestrian Eventing. The Executive Board and Board of Directors spent extensive time evaluating applications and conducting multiple interviews to find the best candidate for the position. Dr. Shannon Berry, CSC-CCC Board President, said, “We had a great experience interviewing some exceptional candidates. It showed us what a respected and wonderful organization Cancer Support Community has become here on the Central Coast. I am excited to welcome our new director and look forward to the continued growth
of CSC under her new leadership.” Although the office is currently open by appointment only and remains socially distanced via Zoom, plans are in place to bring individuals back into in-person sessions in May 2021.

SAN LUIS OBISPO — Cal Poly announced today that they have elected to opt-out of the remainder of its 2020-21 spring football season, effective immediately. “We made this decision because of the high number of serious, season-ending injuries to our players,” said Cal Poly Director of Athletics Don Oberhelman. “In addition, there are many seniors who informed us of their decision to defer spring quarter enrollment to the fall so that they can play a full fall season.” Out of a roster of 110 student-athletes, Cal Poly would have only 49 to compete on Saturday, falling below Big Sky minimum requirements for competition. Cal Poly’s 2020-21 spring season included the second half of Winter Quarter as well as the first three weeks of Spring Quarter, which begins Monday, Mar. 29. “The health, safety, and well-being of our football student-athletes is the only factor in our decision to end this season early—a decision reached after careful consideration with members of our coaching staff; President Armstrong and university senior leadership; and medical personnel,” Oberhelman said. “This will allow our young men to remain safe and prepare academically and athletically for the fall 2021 season.” Coach Beau Baldwin’s first football team at Cal Poly began preparations for its spring schedule Jan. 29, but a few days later, all team activities were shut down for 17 days due to COVID-19 protocols, necessitating a delay of its first two games against UC Davis and Weber State. “Despite the shutdown of all activities for that period and shorter preparation window, everyone in our program was committed to playing a Big Sky schedule this spring,” said Baldwin. “Everyone in our program remains committed, but I support this decision in the interest of the health and wellness of our students.” The Mustangs will not play their remaining road game this weekend at Northern Arizona or their home contests against UC Davis on Apr. 10 and Weber State on Apr. 17. “In the end, the health and safety of our student-athletes must always be our top priority,” Baldwin said. “We look forward to getting healthy in the coming months and are excited for what should be a memorable fall 2021 campaign.” A total of 29 teams from the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision, including five from the Big Sky—Montana, Montana State, Portland State, Northern Colorado, and Sacramento State—opted out of spring football prior to the start of play in mid-February. Several other teams across the country have halted their seasons after playing a few games. Fans who purchased tickets for the Apr. 10 and/or 17 games will receive refunds. Direct questions to the Mustang Ticket Office at (805)7564849, tickets@calpoly.edu, or online at gopoly.com/sports/2020/6/4/ tickets.aspx. Cal Poly’s 2021 fall season begins Sept. 4 at the University of San Diego. The home opener is set for Sept. 18 against South Dakota.

Templeton Reminds Home and Property Owners to Prepare for Weed Abatement Season STAFF REPORT TEMPLETON — Now is the time to begin planning for the removal of weeds around your property; remember, the earlier you start in the year, the easier it is to mitigate them. As soon as the weather turns warm, weeds become an extreme fire hazard not only for you but your neighbors as well. In California, weed abatement is an almost year-round endeavor. A good rule of thumb would be to have this work finished by the end of April. If you are an out-of-town property owner now is the time to schedule the work to be done and verify that it has been completed before the weeds turn brown. All properties within the Templeton Community Services District boundaries, including yards and lots, must be cleared of all combustible vegetation, such as dead leaves, weeds, brush, and tree limbs, by May 1 and maintained through Nov. 30. Property owners are also asked to remove excess trash, wood, or other combustibles from their property that is next to their house or other structures to keep a fire-safe environment. Due to spring rains, there will be an increase in vegetation which can become a potential fire hazard as it dries. Therefore, property owners are asked to plan on multiple cuttings this year to keep grasses and weeds down to fire-safe levels. Below are some key weed abatement requirements: • Do not mow after 10 a.m. if the temperature exceeds 80 degrees. • Mowers must be set at a maximum height of three inches unless conditions require a greater height. • All equipment used for weed abatement work must be equipped with proper spark arresters, mufflers, etc. • A fire extinguisher of pressurized-water or back-pump type is required on equipment for immediate accessibility and use. • Property owners are responsible for weeds from the centerline of the public road and through their entire property. • Parcels that are three acres or less in size must be mowed or disked completely. Parcels three acres or larger must have at a minimum a soil firebreak around the perimeter and cross breaks at intervals breaking each block in no greater than 1 acre (or as directed by the Fire Department). Firebreaks shall be a minimum of 30-feet in width at perimeters, and cross breaks and 50-feet minimum around structures. • Downslope clearances from structures shall be a minimum of 100 feet. Clearances around and under oak trees shall be a minimum of 30 feet. Templeton Fire and Emergency Services thanks all participants for helping to make Templeton a firesafe community. For further information, contact Fire Chief Tom Peterson during regular business hours at (805)434-4900.

S AC R A M EN T O — Following last year’s record-breaking fire season, Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Tuesday, Mar. 30, emergency early action to boost firefighting support as California faces another challenging wildfire year. Using Emergency Fund authorization, Governor Newsom has approved $80.74 million for 1,399 additional firefighters with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to bolster fuels management and wildfire response efforts. The Governor’s January 2021 budget proposes $1 billion to support wildfire and forest management. “In California, climate change is making the hots hotter and the dries drier, leaving us with record-breaking world temperatures and devastating wildfires threatening our communities,” said Governor Newsom. “We aren’t just waiting for the next
crisis to hit – this funding will support our heroic firefighters to save lives as they work to prevent and tackle destructive wildfires.” With much of the state exper iencing persistent drought conditions, low reservoir storage, and below-average snowpack, California plans for another dry year. Meanwhile, scattered light precipitation has assisted in new growth in annual grasses that will serve as fuel for wildfires. This Emergency Fund authorization includes a surge of 1,256 seasonal firefighters for maximum flexibility through Jun. 30. This funding will provide fire crew and fire engine staffing, augments eight currently understaffed existing fire crews ahead of the summer, and allows the early hiring and training of fire crews for fuels management to provide twelve new CAL FIRE crews, and six seasonal and six new permanent Conservation Corps crews. Further, the state will onboard 24 seasonal firefighters for California National Guard hand crews who support CAL FIRE’s fuels management work. The funding will also

This includes the new S-70i helicopter’s orientation and operations to operate from four CAL FIRE helitack bases. Improved technology to support incident-based camp operations, including website traffic management, will improve transparency and accuracy of the information for the public. The Governor’s January 2021 budget proposes $1 billion to support California’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan, which sets forth a strategy to increase the pace and scale of forest and wildland management to meet the state’s target of completing projects on 500,000 acres annually by 2025 and expanding the use of prescribed fire. The plan calls for achieving these goals primarily through regional strategies tailored to the environmental conditions, risks, and priorities in each area. The plan also centers on building fuel breaks around vulnerable communities, expanding home hardening,

HUMAN TRAFFICKING
SLO County Counter Human Trafficking Team Seeks Public’s Help in Locating Suspect STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — The San Luis Obsipo Sheriff ’s Office released new information regarding a human trafficking investigation that began in January. According to the Sherriff, two people have been arrested for their connection to the case. A third suspect is still outstanding. The investigation began on Jan. 26, when members of the San Luis Obispo County Counter Human Trafficking Team answered online sex ads as part of the statewide effort to curb human sex trafficking under the umbrella of Operation Reclaim and Rebuild.
The San Luis Obispo County Counter Human Trafficking Team is comprised of a Senior District Attorney Investigator from the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office, a Detective and Sergeant from the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s Office and are assisted by California Highway Patrol/ Coastal Division, FBI, and a non-profit organization, Deliverfund. Investigators located and responded to a sex ad in which the female in the advertisement appeared to be very young, likely under the age of 18. Ultimately, a “date” was arranged by investigators, and the female subject from the
photographs in the sex ad was contacted by law enforcement. After a significant investigation, the female was detained and was determined to be a 15-year-old, at-risk missing juvenile out of Nevada. Additionally, investigators identified a male subject that was in the area and, based upon his behavior, believed to be a possible trafficker of the 15-year-old. Investigators were ultimately able to contact that subject after he attempted to flee the area. The subject was identified as 26-year-old Joshua Diante Murphy from Madera. Upon contacting Joshua Murphy, investigators were able to connect him to the 15-year-old
victim at the scene; however, probable cause for his arrest did not exist at the time of the contact, so he was released. A subsequent investigation of evidence gathered from the victim, Murphy, and thirdparty sources led investigators to believe that three subjects, 28-year-old, Heather Lynne Hunt from Tipton, 27-yearold, Tremaine Quincy Tejon Jones from Bakersfield and Joshua Murphy had been involved in a conspiracy to traffic the 15-year-old victim and to distribute child pornography. Investigators from the San Luis Obispo County Counter Human Trafficking Team worked with prosecutors from
the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office to seek criminal filing warrants for Heather Hunt, Tremaine Jones, and Joshua Murphy. On Mar. 18, the San Luis Obispo Superior Courts issued $1,000,000 warrants for Hunt, Jones, and Murphy. Heather Hunt is charged with Human Trafficking of a Victim Under 18 Years of Age, Obscene Matter Depicting a Minor for Commercial Consideration, and Conspiracy to Commit a Crime. Tremaine Jones is charged with Conspiracy to Commit a Crime. Joshua Murphy is charged with Human Trafficking of a Victim Under 18 Years of Age, pimping of a Prostitute Under

Jury Convicts Uber Driver Alarcon-Nunez STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — On Friday, Mar. 26, a San Luis Obispo County jury found Santa Maria resident Alfonso Alarcon-Nunez (42) guilty of thirteen felony counts, including three counts of assault with the intent to commit rape during a residential burglary, four counts of burglary of an occupied residence, one count of rape by force, two counts of rape of an intoxicated individual, one count of oral copulation of an intoxicated
individual, one count of assault with intent to commit rape and one count of grand theft involving five female victims, including four college students, from San Luis Obispo. The conduct involved five separate victims and took place between July 2017 and January 2018. Alarcon-Nunez perpetrated his series of sexual assaults while working as an Uber driver in the San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara County areas, where he victimized individuals using the trans-
port services upon taking them home. “The five victims, in this case, were brave and courageous in providing the evidence and testimony necessary to achieve justice,” said District Attorney Dan Dow. “These predatory crimes were committed against particularly vulnerable victims who placed their trust in the defendant to get them home safely when they were not in a condition to drive a vehicle. Finally, we are grateful for the jury who served and listened to the star-
tling evidence during this time of the pandemic.” The jur y reached their verdict after nearly two weeks of testimony and one-half day of deliberation. Sentencing is scheduled for Apr. 26, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 5 of the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court, the Honorable Craig van Rooyen presiding. Mr. Alarcon-Nunez faces a maximum sentence of life in state prison for his convictions. The investigation was conducted by the San Luis Obispo City Police Depart-
ment in collaboration with various law enforcement partners including, the Santa Barbara City Police Department, Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office, Pismo Beach Police Department, and the San Luis O bispo County District Attorneys Bureau of Investigation. Deputy District Attorney Melissa Chabra prosecuted the case. Please contact Assistant District Attorney Eric J. Dobroth at (805)781.5819 with any questions.

blackout, some water purification works went the way of business activity and home heat: They did not work. More than 10 million Texans who still had running water were told to boil it before drinking it. That meant wide use of portable camping stoves – if households had them – because natural gas operations were also stuck in the deep freeze. Never mind the threat of carbon monoxide poisoning. The length and extent of the blackouts dwarfed anything modern California has seen, even in the energy crunch of the early 2000s, trouble primarily caused by Texas companies whose executives gloated publicly over “stealing from California grandmas” – before they were convicted and imprisoned. In short, the approximately 300,000 former Californians who moved to Texas over the
last six years because of lower real estate and energy prices suddenly learned why their big new homes cost so little. They now know they bought into the mere façade of a solid place to live. Yes, Texas’ far-right Republican Gov. Greg Abbott tried to blame all this on the fact his state’s grid – independent of surrounding states that could have aided it (but did not) because Texas would have no federal regulation of its electric supply – gets about 20 percent of its power from solar and wind developments. What about the other 80 percent? In any case, Abbott’s own appointed energy experts said whatever green power Texas uses did not create this crisis. It was reminiscent of the old saying that when you eliminate a tradition, you soon learn why it became one. This time, Texas worked

occurs to equipment. The fallacy of reliance upon wind and solar is the inability to surge when demand soars as it did during the Texas deep freeze; windmills are unpredictable and pose their own set of problems. Solar was incapacitated by darkness and snow cover, thereby forcing more reliance upon fossil fuels and nuclear power. Unfortunately, as my previous article stated, subsidies to alternative energy sources at the expense of conventional power sources created economic distortions to re-direct funds away from natural gas, coal, and nuclear. Profits were elevated above winterization. The result was a failure to winterize conventional power plants in the same manner as such plants are winterized in northern states. Reliability was sacrificed to hubris and a failure to make realistic decisions, dismissing the probability of a very severe winter storm and its impact upon a fragile grid.
Compounding this was the removal of the Texas electrical grid from the national grid in an effort to isolate Texas from Federal regulators. There was no ability to obtain additional power from other states at a time of crisis. Obtaining power from lesser-impacted states doesn’t always work. We recently experienced rolling power blackouts in California because massive heatwaves throughout the West resulted in no additional power to purchase from any source. Portions of California went dark and will continue to do so; expect even more severe blackouts of longer duration in the future if our current “Green” energy policies continue at the expense of nuclear, coal, natural gas, and hydroelectric power; California is shutting multiple conventional power plants down without reliable energy backup systems. Given that the Tech indus-
assiduously to avoid federal control and influence, then learned why those can sometimes be a big plus. There, there are Texas politicians. It wasn’t just that Abbott tried to scapegoat renewable power and the non-existent Green New Deal. No top-level politician in California has been as dishonest and deflective during an emergency in more than 100 years. The freeze also featured panicked or irresponsible behavior by other officials. Two examples: Republican Sen. Ted Cruz fled to 80-degree Cancun with his family when the going got tough. That’s the same Ted Cruz who tweeted that California’s liberal policies created blackouts during recent wildfire crises. “I have no defense (of that tweet),” he conceded before flying south. And Colorado City, Tex.,
Mayor Tim Boyd was forced to resign after ranting on Facebook that local residents were “lazy.” The city and county, he told constituents, “owe you NOTHING. Sink or swim; it’s your choice. If you have no water, you deal with it and think outside of the box.” This, while some families tried for days to melt snow as their sole source of water. It all can serve as a timely and on-point warning to Californians who seek to get rich and live like kings by selling houses high here and then leaving for greener pastures and bigger homes at much lower prices. Those pastures may not look so green after you’ve been in the new place awhile, especially if it’s Texas.
try uses massive amounts of electrical power and continues to exponentially grow along with increasing government demands to switch to electric vehicles, where is the power to come from to supply all of this power? I don’t see anything on the horizon that will effectively meet the near-term electrical power demand, let alone the amount required to eliminate fossil fuels in transportation by the mandate of 2035. My arguments are not about resistance to change but the headlong plunge into alternative energy sources without proper concern about the pitfalls of limiting our energy systems to only a few politically acceptable sources. The national media doesn’t help; it routinely misinforms via fear-mongering about conventional energy sources while ignoring the vulnerabilities of an electrical power-dependent civilization to grid failure. Alternative energy sources can
provide a small measure of power and lessen energy costs to homeowners and businesses but must be backed up by conventional sources. Proponents of alternatives also seem to assume that energy demand will remain stable, but demographic projections indicate a massive future demand for power that we are incapable of meeting under current “Pollyanna” assumptions. I suggest readers take a look at two interesting books on these subjects: A Question of Power: Electricity and the Wealth of Nations by Robert Bryce and The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels by Alex Epstein. Knowledge is power, and your future and the future of your children will depend upon the informed or uninformed decisions you make today.

trical bills, although their electrical company promised lower bills but at “current market rate” rather than a fixed-rate. Customers were billed for thousands of dollars when the rate per kilowatt hours skyrocketed. Could this happen here? We need to know before signing up! Solar and wind power require back-up power to keep the electrical grid stable. Storage batteries are expensive and only
provide back-up power for short durations and cost thousands of dollars to replace. As a city, we need to wait and see how 3CE works out for those cities that have “joined up.” Let’s be sure this is a sound and prudent thing to do before committing Atascadero’s residents. We can always sign up later if it turns out to be all it promises. Roberta Fonzi Atascadero

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR joining. The City Council is again Dear Editor, As a former city councilmember, I am very familiar with the proposed electrical energy consortiums available to city residents. Monterey Bay Community Power, now called Central Coast Community Energy (3CE), promised clean energy and lower bills for customers. My research revealed pitfalls; I voted NO on
considering signing on with 3CE, with proponents lobbying hard for Atascadero to join. Before signing up, ask yourself why does the City have to sign up rather than offering the service to individual citizens to opt-in or out? The reason is that 3CE needs the City to “underwrite” the leases that they enter into with outside energy providers, just like co-signing for a loan.
A Note About Our
The electrical consortium must have long-term leases to provide reliable energy, which is delivered through PG&E’s electrical system. If the price of power goes down, we will still be responsible for paying off the leased energy per kilowatt, meaning that prices may be lower on your bill now, but may end up being higher later. Further, If the City decides to opt-out of this service, the other

members of 3CE must “allow” us to leave and may send us a bill to pay off if we are allowed to leave. Remember, cities are responsible for the leased energy, so why would Atascadero be allowed to leave? The bill would then become higher for cities still in the consortium. The recent energy crisis in Texas was caused by a lack of back-up power during cold weather. Some people received exorbitant elec-

CLARK CASE NO. 21PR-0076 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the lost WILL or estate, or both of RODNEY A. CLARK. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by CARA GARVER AKA CARA DESILVA in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN LUIS OBISPO. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that CARA GARVER AKA CARA DESILVA be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent's lost WILL and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The lost WILL and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as
follows: 04/06/21 at 9:00AM in Dept. 9 located at 1050 MONTEREY STREET, SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA 93408 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner RICHARD A. LENSE SBN 164688, LAW OFFICE OF RICHARD A. LENSE 222 N.

Around and About North County: ‘Pivotal Moments’ and Remembering a Special Woman barbie butz

COLUMNIST
ften, when people pass, they leave us wonderful memories of them that we cherish the rest of our lives. I want to tell you about a special woman, Virginia Allen, who not only left wonderful memories but left samples of her creative talent for us to enjoy for years to come. She was a quilter, and those of you who quilt know how much of you goes into each quilt you produce. Virginia made dozens of quilts, and many of them she donated to nonprofits for fundraisers. They were works of art and are still enjoyed and appreciated by their owners. I first met Virginia when she joined Quota of Atascadero in 2003. She had moved to Atascadero in 1974 to live near her son and daughter-in-law, Jim and Janet Stecher. She was also an active member of Chapter VF of the Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO) and attended the First Methodist Church of Atascadero. Virginia was always most comfortable in front of a sewing machine; by the time she was 12, she made much of her own clothing and, in her twen-
This is a “must-see” work of art. If you are a quilter, you will love seeing the detail Virginia put into it. If you are not a quilter, you will be “in awe” of her work! For more information, visit atascaderopac.org or visit the APACC Facebook page. Speaking of fundraising, a group of 7 special Atascadero women have published a wonderful little book titled “Pivotal Moments,” Memoirs from Boomer Women. All of the women are members of the Atascadero Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW). Proceeds from the book will help the Branch fund its community programs. Their memoirs include adventures, challenges, losses, and triumphs. According to Lynne Martin, author, “Tales ranging from teenage courting angst to online dating at 70, from lighthearted romps to deeply-felt revelations enliven this charming volume of essays by a memoir-writing group on California’s Central Coast.” The women include Marilyn Hamilton, Liz Helgerson, Myra Lathrop, Eileen O’Grady, Martha Staib, Shirley Summers, and Linda Zirk. They have met monthly for five or so years, working as a writing group, and are to be congratulated for this inspiring and “insightful look into the lives of mature women from very
Good News/Bad News

I
have a psychologist friend who told me that the best way to break bad news to someone is in the traditional bad news/good news format. She insists that it's best to tell the bad news first and then cheer them up with the good news last, but I don't know about that. Here are just a few examples of how people you deal with on a regular basis might break some bad news. From Your Banker- "The bad news is the bank has recently been sold, and the new owners don't do ag loans, so you'll need to find alternative financing for your operating loan and the loan on your ranch within 48 hours. The good news is I have a cousin who is a loan shark for the mob, and I told him about your situation, and he's agreed to loan you the money necessary to pay off the bank at 18 percent interest
compounded daily. His name is Scar-Faced Vinny, and he'll be in touch with you soon." From Your Doctor- "The good news is there's a treatment for your condition that includes taking one of these little pills daily for the rest of your life." "But Doc, the prescription you wrote is for only three pills." "Yes, I'm afraid that's the bad news." From Your Preferred Seedstock Supplier- "The good news is that only five of the bulls out of the 2,500 head we've sold in the last five years were sired by a well-known herd sire now found to carry genes for three deadly genetic defects, including being born with five legs, a curved spine, or a tail where an ear should be. The bad news is that you bought all five. But wait, here's some more good news. As a way of saying sorry, we'll give you ten percent off on any bulls you buy in our upcoming sale if you buy ten head or more." From Your Fiance'- "The good news is I have discussed it with my parents, and we're planning on a small wedding. The bad news is I'm not going." From The Feds- "The bad
news is that even though no endangered red-headed pollywogs live in your water troughs, our scientists have hypothesized that it would be possible for them to live there. Therefore ALL water troughs on your ranch will have to be fenced off from your cattle, and you'll have to maintain them at the proper temperature and degree of fullness at all times. The good news is that you can still run cattle on the rest of your ranch... for the time being." From Your Veterinarian- "The bad news is that your cow is suffering from a very expensive disease. The good news is that if she doesn't survive the treatment and we have a negative patient outcome, I'm a taxidermist, and I also buy hides. Either way, you'll get your cow back." From Your Favorite Cattle Feeder- "The good news is your cattle performed exceptionally well, are currently at their optimum weight, and cattle prices are the highest they've been in months. The bad news is that none of the Big Four meatpackers want to buy them." From Your Lawyer- "The good news is that I met with

ties, worked for a tailor creating wedding dresses. Her interest in quilting began after she moved to Atascadero. She eventually purchased an embroidery machine, and her quilts became even more elaborate. She shared her love of sewing with her “Stitch and Bitch” sewing group and attended meetings faithfully. She continued to quilt into her early 90s with patience and loving help from Lynn, the owner of the Sew Fun Sewing shop in Atascadero. She would spend 1 or 2 days every week working on quilts at the shop. Virginia Allen loved to give back to her community, and donating her quilts for fundraisers was a way of achieving that. Although Virginia passed in 2019 at the age of 95, her legacy lives on through her beautiful quilts. Jim and Janet Stecher have donated one of Virginia’s quilts to the Atascadero Performing Arts Center Committee (APACC) for a fundraiser. Proceeds will be used toward APACC’s goal of providing a performing arts theater in Atascadero. The quilt is approximately 68” by 90” and on display at Karen McNamara’s shop, Hope Chest Emporium, located at 5800 El Camino Real. The fundraiser is auction-style, with the opening bid at $250 and increments of $25. Bidding opened on Mar. 26 and will close Mother’s Day, May 9, at 4:30 p.m.

y the time this article is published, it will be Maundy Thursday, a Christian holy day that falls on the Thursday evening before Easter Sunday. It was the day Jesus celebrated the Passover with a meal known familiarly as the last supper. Following that, Jesus washed the feet of his apostles and gave his first commandment, known as the great commandment, which was to "Love one another; as I have loved you." Washing the feet of his apostles was an outrageous act of humility. As we approach Easter Sunday, a time of resurrection, renewal,
and bright beginnings, I invite you to consider what is being born in you? For March, the Central Coast Center for Spiritual Living focused on how to remain open to Spirit's highest idea of itself as our lives through the process of Visioning. When we receive the direct revelation of Spirit as an impress of It in our mind and heart, a way is made before us. A path is laid, guiding our steps to the greater-yet-to-be version of ourselves. Once the vision is activated in our lives, we can tune in and allow the following steps to unfold with ease and grace. It becomes clear to us there are ways of being, false ideas, or belief systems that no longer serve us, which must dissolve to flourish and become more of ourselves. A seed planted beneath the soil transforms into a shoot
with leaves and sprouts up above ground. As the plant's roots, stems, and leaves develop, the seed's tissue is no longer needed. It releases the seed tissue. Similarly, in our becoming, we release that which no longer supports us where we are going. We look to Spirit now for guidance on what it is we need to embrace or welcome with great enthusiasm into our lives. And what do we need to embody? Asking this question prompts the Universe to answer, providing the means through which you will integrate those Divine qualities necessary for your unfoldment and development. We also ask the question, "What must I become for Spirit's highest idea of Itself as my life to manifest? How must I evolve such that it will be second nature for me? An example for me is exercise. I have an exercise routine
different backgrounds.” The book sells for $16.95 and is available on Amazon. For more information about AAUW, visit atascadero-ca.aauw.net or call Linda Hansen at (805)466-1068. Here’s a quick recipe for a salmon spread. Enjoy!
Salmon Pâté
• 1 can (about 7¾ ounces) sockeye salmon, drained • ½ cup butter, melted • 2 tablespoons minced onion • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice • 1 teaspoon minced fresh dill • Salt and white pepper, to taste Remove skin and bones from salmon; flake with a fork. Combine the first six ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a small crock or serving dish. Refrigerate, covered, until firm.

Embrace, embody and become the qualities, mindsets, and ways of being that serve Spirit's highest idea of itself as your life. Commit to the vision.

Ag Week Highlights Farmers’ Resilience, but the Hard Work is Only the Beginning
Soil management, rising input costs, water scarcity still challenge the Ag industry By Brian Maxted GUEST COLUMNIST
D
systems can sequester soil carbon, improve water holding capacity, and decrease nutrient losses.” For Holloway Agriculture, witnessing the effects of these issues firsthand underscores the importance of building soilfirst, sustainable solutions into our company and the economy. In coming weeks, agriculture officials and state policy makers will be working together on new policies and programs that stimulate the economy and help our industry become part of the solution by prioritizing soil and climate-smart programs for agriculture. As budget talks heat up, it is critical that programs like the Healthy Soils Program and similar ag-focused initiatives remain front and center, supporting farmers who take the proper steps to improve their soil through precision agriculture and regenerative practices. This helps the industry by reducing input costs, while sequestering carbon and reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the same time. Grim reports like the University of Colorado’s “The Hidden Costs of Land Degradation in U.S. Maize Agriculture,” come to no surprise. Agriculture is constantly under the spotlight when it comes to soil and water management, but we can combat these storylines and rising input costs with improved management techniques: • Our farmers can create healthy soils that minimize nitrogen losses while maintaining high productivity. • We can leverage naturally occurring minerals and soil amendments to improve soil health and crop water use efficiency while cutting back nutrient losses and capturing more carbon in our soils. • We can use precision ag practices that better reintroduce organic matter back into the land and return the soil profile back to an optimal state for maximum production without environmental impact. It is a lot of work to feed our growing planet, pandemic or not. But if we have proven anything over this past year, it’s that our industry is a resilient one, and we never turn our back to our biggest challenges. Thanks to everyone in the ag industry for their contributions over the past year. We cannot wait to see what is ahead for the 2021 season and beyond. Food brings everyone to the table, and no one in the agriculture industry takes that work for granted.
uring National Ag Week, we celebrate our farmers, ag workers, and the essential role agriculture plays in maintaining a strong economy. The theme of National Ag Week, “Food Brings Everyone to the Table,” is a fitting one, as it has been a full year since the COVID-19 pandemic completely changed our nation’s food-supply system and how we all interact with one another. And as we pick ourselves up from a forgettable 2020 (which saw both national and state Ag Week events canceled at this time a year ago), it is time to start thinking about the longterm health of our industry again. For those of us in agriculture, we understand sustainable farming never takes a back seat … even during a pandemic. In many instances, these are the farms our fathers and our fathers’ fathers worked before us. This is the ground we are passing on to our children, and we all agree there are no shortcuts for future seasons or generations. We are also not blind to the fact that most everyone (even in exempt industries such as agriculture) was affected by cutbacks last year, whether market-driven or just due to being budget-conscious during these uncertain times. We have all heard stories about operations having to make the hard decisions to cast aside precision ag tools or crop-required inputs in favor of safety supplies or other COVID-19-related issues. Labor became even tougher to come by in 2020, and additional state and county regulations made day-to-day operations even more challenging for our farmers. While much of the world was put on hold during the pandemic, California agriculture kept pushing ahead – despite losses estimated between $5.9 and $8.6 billion, according to the California Farm Bureau Federation. If the past year proved anything, it is that ag is as essential and resilient as ever. Yes, it is true that “Food Brings Everyone to the Table,” but if we don’t get back to focusing on the other long-term challenges our industry is faced with, putting that food on the table is going to be tougher than ever. While ag resource issues have not made many headlines over the past year, land degradation, poor soil management, rising input costs, water scarcity, and other drought-related issues continue to plague our industry. By 2050, our agriculture systems will need to support another 2 billion people, yet, over the last century, the Soil Heath Institute estimates our agricultural soils have lost about half their organic matter, with the “societal and environmental degradation costs” estimated to be as high as $85 billion every year. But what is often overlooked in articles covering the environmental impact of poor soil management is the cost to our farmers. According to a January report by the University of Colorado, “one-third of the fertilizer applied to grow corn in the U.S. each year simply compensates for the ongoing loss of soil fertility, leading to more than a half-billion dollars in extra costs to U.S. farmers every year.” The authors called for measures to reduce both the input Brian Maxted (right) is the CEO of Holloway Agriculture, a and environmental costs of farming, “noting the restoration provider of soil-first solutions and services out of Bakersfield, of soil quality through improved management in degraded Calif.

Paso Wine County Alliance Announces Virtual Auction STAFF REPORT
T
he Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance (PRWCA) announced on Monday, Mar. 29, the launch of their first-ever Paso Robles Wine Country Virtual Auction. The auction is set to begin on Monday, May 10, and run through Sunday, May 16. The online auction features over 25 lots from more than 50 Paso Robles wine country businesses, including wineries, hotels, restaurants, tour companies, and recreation outfitters. The specially curated auction lots are exclusive packages that are not available as retail experiences. Wineries will not only offer wine, but luxurious overnight stays in wine country, winemaker dinners at some of Paso Robles’s best restaurants, high-touch educational vineyard tours, as well as rare and allocated wines. Funds generated from the Wine Country Virtual Auction benefit the Paso Robles Wine Country Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that gives back to the community primarily through educational scholarships for aspiring young adults headed off to college. Visit pasowine.com/events/virtual-auction to begin viewing. As mentioned, the weeklong online auction will run from May 10 to the 16, which precedes the traditional time of the annual Paso Robles Wine Festival in years past. Considering the current COVID-19 event restrictions and limitations on large gatherings, the online auction allows the Paso Robles wine region to showcase the wine country lifestyle to fans and bidders from around the country. One-of-a-kind, lots like A French Family Affair, brings the families of L’Aventure, Clos Solène, and Benom together for a dinner for six with the highest bidder at the high-end, French cuisine restaurant Les Petites Canailles. Another multi-brand experience unique to Paso Robles brings a group of eight to Sixmilebridge, where owner Jim Moroney treats guests to the dinner table with winemaker Anthony Yount. Dinner also features the wines of other brands that Anthony makes, including Denner Vineyards and Royal Nonesuch Farms. There are impossible to find lots available to the highest bidder as well, like a complete current release package (12 bottles) of Saxum wines along with two signed 1.5L magnums. Another hard-to-get lot includes an Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon vintage line-up, including the vintages of 2015 - 2019, along with two signed large format bottles of the
2017 and 2018 vintages. Overnight stays offer everything from a three-night getaway in a luxury house stay for six at Turley Wine Cellars to the equally luxurious stay for two at the new Geneseo Inn on Cass Winery’s 145-acre estate. These stays and many more “uber-cool” experiences are on the auction block, ready to be won. Even though the Paso Robles Wine Country Virtual Auction launches on Monday, May 10, lots are being populated online now. Visit pasowine.com/events/virtual-auction to begin viewing lots and check back daily. The inventory of unique and exceptional experiences grows by the day leading up to the May 10 open bidding. The auction concludes at midnight on Sunday, May 16. “We are excited to showcase some incredibly rare offerings unique to Paso Robles wine country that have been pulled from personal cellars and paired with incredible experiences that we’ve never seen offered in our area!” said Molly Scott, Chairperson of the PRWCA Board of Directors, and Director of Grower Relations for JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery. “Equally exciting is the new online auction format which allows Paso Wine fans across the world to partake in helping raise funds that we will channel right back into our local community through our foundation.” This auction uses the Greater Giving Online Bidding platform, allowing for a paperless bidding system. Bidders use a smartphone, tablet, or desktop to bid on auction items and can easily track lots by “following” their activity without having to continuously return to a table or bid sheet. The Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance Foundation has been giving back to the local community through high school scholarships for 15 years. These scholarships help college and trade school-bound young adults to have a little extra funding to take some of the pressure off affording tuitions, materials, travel, etc., as they plan their futures. The Paso Robles wine community is proud to help the next generation reach their goals. ABOUT PASO ROBLES WINE COUNTRY ALLIANCE The Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance is the official trade organization representing wineries, growers, and businesses in Paso Robles Wine Country. Centrally located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, along California’s Central Coast, Paso Robles Wine Country is California’s third-largest wine region. It encompasses more than 40,000 vineyard acres and 200 wineries. For more information, visit pasowine.com.

Next, PRWCA will be hosting their May event, the Paso Robles Wine Festival. The wine festival will take place from May 10 through the 16 and will be run similarly to the Vintage Paso event, with some added events hosted by the PRWCA.

EASTER EGG HUNT CONTINUED FROM A1
It was bringing people young and old together from all over the world and did it safely. Last year, both the Atascadero and Paso Robles Police Departments got involved, posting photos of their officers with some eggs they found. When it comes to making eggs, creativity is endless. People have made their eggs from wood, quilts, cardboard, pallets, and the possibilities are endless. According to Soltero, eggs began to pop up the second to last week of March. Within one week, she added 1,000 people to the egg hunt’s Facebook page, which currently has a total of 9.3K

all ages to connect in a safe outdoor environment.” Since the farm opened to the public, it has gained another hoop house, and more plans are in the works for expansion. A washing system for produce and a storage container for root vegetables like potatoes and garlic is something the farm is looking forward to. There are even plans to begin hosting classes at the farm. Matt Giese and his wife hope to plan cooking and gardening classes at the farm, but the possibilities are endless. Giese works as the farm manager as well as the groundskeeper for the school and church. “Some people come to learn, others are experts who want to be involved in something bigger, and still others just come to enjoy fresh naturally grown local produce,” said Page. The farm has become a place for families to spend quality time together, and children are safe to roam around freely and learn how to grow their own food. Page says, “We hear parents
followers. The closer we get to Easter, the more eggs start popping up around North County, the country, and the world! To participate in the hunt, all you have to do is make and display your egg, post a photo of it on the Facebook page and fill out a form to have your egg put on the virtual map. That simple! “My favorite part has been the community coming together and seeing everybody young and old getting involved--I think just seeing young and old alike just bringing so much joy has made it so worth it,” said Soltero. To join the fun, join the Facebook group Virtual Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt and be sure to use #virtualegghuntsloco on your egg photos! saying things like, ‘For the first time, my kids enjoyed eating their vegetables because they knew where they came from and had a part in growing them!’ That’s what it’s about for us here. The goal is to contribute to people’s lives”. Every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., people come to the farm to volunteer their time. Throughout the week, Giese manages the farm and creates a list of chores to be done on Sunday. After produce has been harvested, volunteers get to take home their portion of goods. Sometimes extra items like grapefruits are donated and added to everyone’s pick up of goods for the week. On Sundays, volunteers operate the Farm Stand, which sits by the curb of the farm parking lot where bundles of produce are often available for pick up! The Templeton Hills Community Farm is open to all members of the community. Anyone can offer their time or give a donation in exchange for harvested goods, but no one in need will ever be turned away. Page said, “We are excited for our farm’s anniversary event Apr. 18. In the first year, we’ve more than doubled the amount of crops we’re

His father, Max Oeck Jr., and brother Kim were great huntsmen and guided hunts in the Paso Robles area. Kim, who now lives in a remote area of Wyoming, still hunts with his father’s 1939 Winchester rifle. Bobby got so good at shooting with his right eye, Kim remembers hunting with him in Indian Valley one day, where Bobby took home two bucks. In 1962 Bobby picked up another hobby that he would

Today the club only consists of 12 members but still meets the second Thursday of the month for some good ol’ fun! Through square dancing, Bobby met his long-time friend and now roommate, Nancy Haynes of Shandon, in 1977. The Oeck family has a long history with Paso Robles. Kim and Bobby’s maternal great-grandfather Walter Brush was Paso’s second and third pioneer marshal in 1932 and 1933. Several other family members held positions as chairman and
