13 STARS MEDIA

PRPD Police Chief Lewis Offers Thanks

Additionally closes shortfall in 2020-21 budget

By BRIAN WILLIAMS brian@pasoroblespress.com PASO ROBLES — Paso Robles has its coveted southern Gateway Project. The City Council paved the way for the Paso Robles Gateway Project Tuesday night, June 16, with nine separate 5-0 votes — seven resolutions and two ordinances.

Council also unanimously approved the 2020-21 budget without any significant reductions to services such as police and fire due to a drop in revenue from COVID19 restrictions.

The major Gateway piece voted on Tuesday night was the annexation of 170-plus acres into the City of Paso Robles for the development of two hotel-resorts with 325 rooms, three commercial centers total 73,600 leasable square feet, 17 workforce apartment units, up to 80 attached single-family residential resort units or a third hotel with 100 rooms, and approximately 98-plus acres of agriculture and open space areas.

ell, it’s finally over…kind of…

As everyone has heard by now, we were not able to come to a peaceful resolution with Mr. Lira. Our thoughts are with his family, who is

suffering a loss. Nobody should have to go through that. Our hearts also go out to the family and friends of James Harding Watson, who was murdered.

As for everyone involved, Paso cannot thank you enough. From the dispatchers, officers, streets division, IT, restaurants who dropped off food, to the many thoughts and prayers we

received from the community. Everyone pulled together to bring this situation to an end.

The real heroes are our spouses and families, whom we left in a matter of minutes, flying out the door, without being able to answer many ques-

Future plans to attend Cal Poly and major in Math in sight

PASO ROBLES — While the graduating seniors at Paso Robles High School have to wait a little longer before they eventually toss their tassels to the other side and step into their futures, one student, Danielle Halebsky, already knows where she stands and that is at the top.

Paso Robles has chosen a college-style graduation that will take place on July 8 through July 11 with four ceremonies per day to keep everyone as safe as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Families will be organized on the field into different socially distant groups with the stage. Every group will get a chance to hear Halebsky’s address via a prerecorded message except for the lucky few in her group who will listen to her speech in person.

The Bearcats’ valedictorian finished high school with a cumulative 4.84-grade point average and achieved a goal she set for herself when first set foot on campus.

“Being valedictorian has always been a goal,” Halebsky told The Paso Robles Press. “I’ve wanted to accomplish this since the beginning of high school.

I got straight A’s in middle school and wanted to continue that into high school.”

RECORD

STAFF REPORT n September 2019, the Paso Robles Press and Atascadero News were acquired by local owners Nicholas and Hayley Mattson under the 13 Stars Media umbrella with Paso Robles Magazine and Colony Magazine.

During the merger, current editor Brian Williams joined the new team. He assisted in bringing the weekly newspapers into the fold and spent three months working with the Mattson’s to improve the quality of the historic newspapers.

During that time, Williams was recruited to a position in Brookings, Ore., where he managed two newspapers — the Curry Pilot in Brookings and the Del Norte Triplicate in Crescent City, Cal. “We didn’t want Brian to go, and we did all we could to entice him and his wife to stay in the area,” Hayley Mattson said.

“During a dinner, we agreed in some form that we would relook at things in six months, not knowing then that coronavirus had other plans for all of us.”

In less than three months, COVID-19 changed the entire

PRHS Valedictorian Halebsky Ready to Solve Challenges Ahead For a student to earn a GPA of over 4.0, they must not only take advanced placement classes but also excel in them. A.P. classes are created to test above-average students through critical thinking, prepare them for college, and, at times, push them out of their comfort zones, which is why Halebsky chose A.P. Spanish as her most challenging course.

“A.P. Spanish was probably the hardest class I had over the four years,” Halebsky said. “There were a lot of students who spoke Spanish at home, whereas I only spoke it in class. This made it challenging for me to understand everything and perform, as well as them.”

Paso’s top student excelled in the upper-tier Spanish offering and is looking forward to taking major-specific courses next year. She plans on staying local and attending Cal Poly and majoring in Mathematics.

“I’ve always had a passion for math, and I was good at it,” she explained. “I played strategy games and solved logic puzzles and riddles, even at an early age.

I like math because it’s logical.”

Not only did Halebsky excel in the classroom, but she also worked hard after school and committed herself to several extracurricular activities at PRHS. During her four years, she was in six different clubs — Robotics Club, Skills USA, CSF, Drama Club, International Club, and the Creative Writing Club.

She also helped out in the math center.

PRJUSD Closes $2.5M Gap in 20-21 Budget STAFF REPORT PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles Unified School District staff overcame a $2.5 million shortfall for the 2020-21 budget.

The District found $1.4 million that it will roll over from the 2019-20 budget. It has another $1.4 million in cuts from the 20-21 budget, PRJUSD Chief Business Officer Brad Pawloski explained to trustees during the June 9 school board meeting.

The $1.4 million in cuts for 20-21 is due mainly to leaving unfilled positions open and recouping unspent lottery funds.

Trustees met in person for the first time since the COVD-19 gathering restrictions went into effect and were appropriately spaced 6 feet apart. The meeting was streamed live on YouTube for viewers to watch live at home.

Overcoming the 20-21 budget shortfall was tempered by Pawlowski when he shifted to projections for the subsequent two budget cycles — 202122 and 2022-23.

“Now you are going to see when we look at the 21-22 and 22-23 budgets, those are going to look horrific,” Pawlowkis said. “They are going to be negative and they are going to be significantly negative because those reductions from the state are continuing.”

Districts across the state are reeling after Gov. Gavin Newsom’s downward May revision for the state budget due to the economic fallout from dealing with COVID-19. School districts will not be getting as much from the state for education.

School districts are planning for the worst as budgets need to be approved later this month. The state is expected to finalize its budget in the coming months and then school districts have a 45-day revision window or can adjust a little later at their first interim report, Pawloski said.

PRJUSD recaptured $1.4 million to its ending fund balance for 2019-20 and that can be rolled over to 20-21. The District had $1 million in unspent funds from its routine restricted maintenance account and $400,000 in unused LCAP funds due to the closure of schools because of COVID-19 shutdowns.

The District will likely exhaust its entire reserve to make the 20-21 ending balance positive.

“With these here, we project we will have a positive ending fund balance,” Pawlowski said. “We will have a positive ending fund balance in 20-21 and not meet the state-required 3% and then have a negative ending fund balance in the out years.”

Still, the District may need to do more and talked briefly about additional cuts, including general education transportation, management, and confidential salary reductions and layoffs for the upcoming school year.

The District has targeted June 23 for its budget approval.

Paso Robles Schools have served over 100,000 meals since March 13 to students. Meals will continue to be served through the summer and all students in the community are welcome.

There will be an election Nov. 3 to fill upcoming vacancies on the Board of Trustees. The following members have terms expiring this year: • Chris Bausch, a 4-year term • Joel Peterson, a 4-year term • Joan Summers, a 4-year term • Stephanie Ulibarri, a 2-year term Assignments for graduation times went out on June 10 to students. Some students and teachers have already been recording their speeches to be shown during the graduation ceremonies.

MAYOR’S BLOG

Truly in This Together

By STEVEN MARTIN MAYOR OF PASO ROBLES

I

t has become fashionable during the COVID-19 pandemic to say, “we are all in this together.” Our Paso Robles Police force, along with multiple law enforcement and public safety agencies, made good on that claim in a very different way recently when they responded to the threat of a man with a gun and the apparent intent to commit multiple homicides. Before they finished his spree, one community member would die, and four

law enforcement officers from two counties would be wounded, one seriously. Their willingness to run toward danger to preserve our safety dwarfs any sacrifices we have made to combat coronavirus. Their immediate, courageous, and skilled response humbles us and makes us realize how fortunate we are to have such people willing to go “all in” to protect us.

In the days to come, you will hear more about these heroes but, I don’t want to wait to send thanks and prayers on behalf of our entire community. To our Paso Robles Police officers, SLO Sheriff ’s-Deputy Dreyfuss,

who received such a grievous wound, to the officers representing King’s County, Arroyo Grande, and the California Highway Patrol who were also shot. To all who responded to the call from the city of Paso Robles. You responded in the middle of the night. You responded in the heat of the day. You put your lives on the line to protect our community.

This is Paso Robles Mayor Steven Martin saying to you: “Thank you, we’re proud of you and grateful for you.” And to everyone: stay informed, stay involved, and stay strong Paso Robles.

Cruise Night Celebrates PRHS Seniors STAFF REPORT PASO ROBLES — After a drive-thru celebration on Thursday, June 4, the community came out in droves last Friday night, June 12, in Downtown Paso Robles in support of graduating seniors in a way that has become highly popular during COVID-19.

Since local gatherings are not permitted in large part, having a “cruise event” is the new way of supporting one another in a “socially distance” fashion.

The cars lined the streets with Paso Robles High School seniors in their caps and gowns, decorated vehicles and proud parents behind the wheels or on the sidewalks cheering them on.

The air was filled with laughter, honking of horns, shouts of “we love you,” and congratulations.

Throughout the pandemic, the community of Paso Robles has found unique ways to pull together in order to support one another, and this night was no different.

Congratulations again to the Class of 2020!

MANHUNT

Gunman ‘Down’ Near Salinas Riverbed South End of Paso Robles

By BRIAN WILLIAMS PASO ROBLES — The nearly two-day manhunt for the man who shot several officers and allegedly killed a local man, James Harding Watson, ended the way it began — with gunfire.

The suspected shooter, Mason James Lira, 26, of Monterey, was shot dead near the Salinas riverbed east of the Highway 101 and Highway 46 West interchange on the south end of Paso Robles at approximately 4:15 p.m. on Thursday, June 11. The handguns he used in his shooting spree were found next to his body.

“I’m glad this is finally over,” said Paso Robles Police Department Police Chief Ty Lewis during a press conference Thursday evening from the Sheriff ’s Office substation in Templeton. “It’s been really a tough go.”

A CHP officer and Kings County Sheriff ’s Office deputy were wounded during the final exchange of gunfire with Lira around 4 p.m. The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s Office reported the suspect was “down,” effectively putting an end to the intense search that started around 3 a.m. Wednesday morning in Downtown Paso Robles.

The CHP officer wearing his protective vest was hit in the chest. CHP Officer Isaac Clocherty sustained minor injuries and has returned to full duty. Kings County Sheriff ’s Deputy Blake Bursiaga was shot in the leg above the knee.

Arroyo Grande Police Department Sgt. Michael Smiley was shot in the leg earlier

by Lira in the area of Ramada Drive and Volpi Ysabel Road.

“I want everybody in the community to pray for our officers that were injured during this, they are heroes and they need to be recognized as such,” Lewis said. “There are officers from every agency in this county here today,” Lewis added.They all banded together to protect the community, and it really does reflect the best of what our community is made of in the law enforcement ranks and the professionalism, and I hope the community recognizes that.”

Smiley was a member of the San Luis Obispo Regional SWAT Team, assisting the San Luis Obispo Sheriff ’s Office with the search for Lira.

“Every time that law enforcement got near to him, he engaged them in gunfire,” Lewis said.

All of the wounded officers were treated at nearby hospitals and were expected to survive.

The initial search began early Wednesday morning after Lira reportedly shot numerous times at the Paso Robles Police Department station in Downtown Paso Robles and continued to shoot at law enforcement as they exited and arrived at the station.

San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s Deputy Nicholas Dreyfus was shot by the gunman in the face and taken to a trauma center outside of the area, according to the Sheriff ’s Office.

He was transported to a local hospital and then flown to a trauma center out of the area where he underwent successful surgery. He was listed in guarded condition and his prognosis is good.

While authorities searched for the shooter, business owners near the Paso Robles Amtrak train station, a few blocks south of the police station, alerted police to a dead body. The homeless man was identified as James Watson, 59, who was found dead with a single gunshot from “close proximity” to the head.

Police believe the shooter, Lira, was responsible for the death of Watson. Detectives surmised Watson was shot before Lira turned his attention to the Paso Robles police station.

Kings County Deputy Blake Bursiaga reportedly left a position of cover and risked his life to pull Clocherty to safety.

Deputy Bursiaga was shot in the leg by Lira during the return to cover.

According to the CHP, Clocherty is a 12-year veteran of the department that was assigned to the King City CHP office. He sustained minor injuries and returned to full duty.

At about 10:20 p.m Wednesday, a report of shots being fired in the area of Spring Street and Fourth Street. As PRPD officers arrived, Lira shot at police and fled into a nearby apartment complex.

Not long after, Lira was seen again by officers near Ramada Drive and Highway 46 West and again started shooting.

Lira was spotted on video, making a purchase at a Chevron gas station on Ramada Drive around 2 a.m. Thursday morning.

The search for Lira continued from the air and on the ground, focusing on the riverbed

south of the gas station behind the businesses until he was ultimately surrounded by officers Thursday afternoon.

“This is a tough time for us,” SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson said. “We still have a tremendous amount to do right now with this investigation. The investigation will continue; it will continue through the night. We have a tremendous amount of physical evidence to process at the scene and also to evaluate.”

Investigators believe Lira had been in Paso Robles since being released June 3 from jail in Monterey on criminal threats charges. They also collected evidence that showed Lira was living in a crawl space near Park Cinemas in Downtown Paso Robles.

The Paso Robles Police Department is leading the homicide investigation and the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s Office was heading the search.

“This was not by any means a happy ending, this was not happy,” Parkinson said. “If we could rewind this and he never engaged the police department, never engaged our officers, never shot my deputy that would make me happy if we could rewind to that moment.

“This was not a win. This is an end to something that we wished never happened and I really believe that this community doesn’t want to happen. The only fortunate thing about it is the community is safe tonight from this event,” Parkinson added.

Former Templeton Eagle Mac Lardner Signs With Cardinals Second Templeton pitcher to sign pro contract in 4 years

Barnhart Drafted by Tampa Bay in Third Round

By CONNOR ALLEN TEMPLETON — Former Templeton Eagles standout pitcher Mac Lardner is officially a member of the St. Louis Cardinals organization after signing on the dotted line Sunday afternoon. Lardner, who graduated from Templeton in 2016, was expected to be drafted in MLB’s usual 40-round draft. However, due to COVID19, the league cut it down to only five rounds. This change gave Lardner the little bit of leverage he needed to end up with the team he wanted.

“I actually slipped out of the fifth round,” Lardner told The Atascadero News on Monday. “I got a call from two different teams in the fourth and fifth rounds that I thought I had a chance to be drafted by for around the same amount of money that I signed (reportedly received a $20,000 signing bonus) with the Cardinals and I basically turned them down because I wanted to be a Cardinal.”

Lardner joins the quickly growing list of North County athletes in the big league and is the second Templeton Eagle to sign in the last four years, joining his friend Spencer Howard who was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the second round in 2017 after a strong career at Cal Poly.

Not only is Lardner looking forward to working with another Templeton Eagle in the near future, but he also might try adding some size from Paso Robles’ own Josh Oliver, who is looking for a breakout season this year with the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars.

“We are really good buddies, and we are really close. In the offseason, we throw together and work out together, so it is cool to have someone like that to look up to,” Lardner said of Howard. “I’ve become pretty good friends with Josh Oliver too, and he is also down in Florida, so once we both get down there, I’d love to link up with him,

By CONNOR ALLEN he is such a good guy, and hopefully we can make our communities proud.”

While in high school, Lardner earned first-team All-American honors and first-team all-state honors and kept the accolades coming in college, earning second-team All-West Coast Conference his sophomore year followed

by All-West Coast Conference honorable mention his junior season.

Lardner currently works three pitches, fastball, changeup, and curveball and will spend the next few months working on his velocity while also trying to add a fourth pitch, a slider, to his repertoire.

The 6-foot-4-inch left-hander went 16-11 with a 3.75 ERA in 39 starts over his four years at Gonzaga University in Washington state, pitching just under 250 innings.

PASO ROBLES — Hunter Barnhart is a name that should sound familiar to most, if not all, Paso Robles High School faithful. The tall, lengthy right-hander spent more than two years at PRHS playing football and baseball and was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays with the 96th pick in the third round.

Barnhart was a two-sport star while in Paso Robles, leading the Bearcats to a PAC-5 championship his sophomore year and earning County Player of the Year honors after starting the season on the junior varsity team.

Assemblyman Cunningham Calls for Return of Youth Sports STAFF REPORT

STAFF REPORT PASO ROBLES - Studios on the Park reopened Monday, June 15, after closing due to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-home orders for COVID-19 the past couple of months.

Studios on the Park announced this on its website — studiosonthepark.org — after the state said counties could enter Phase 3 of reopening on June 12.

“We are definitely excited to be open,” said Sarah Ambrose, Director of Development and Operations for Studios on the Park on Monday. “It’s great to have people in here again.”

Studios on the Park is a nonprofit open studio art center. It has six studios with 15 working artists, four galleries and a fine craft and fine art gift store.

Studios on the Park has the following guidelines in place: • Requires masks to be worn by all artists, staff and visitors. The only exceptions are those who are unable to wear masks due to health restrictions.

• Asks that all visitors and staff practice social distancing.

• Will have the following guidelines posted in the front windows as well as at the front desk: Open and Safe, Face Covering Checklist and Instructions, CDC Hand Washing, CDC Social Distancing, and more. Studios also will have the state self-certification completed and available at the front desk.

• Upon reopening, Studios will only allow 12 visitors in the building at a time, excluding artists and staff. Only two visitors will be allowed in any studio at a time. As time progresses, Studios staff and board of directors will revisit this limit. Signage will be posted in all artist’s studios to remind visitors.

• Studios will require all visitors to follow a one-way path. The floors will have directional signs as well as postings on the wall.

• Studios on the Park has created a “no-touch” policy. If a visitor is interested in a piece of artwork, they will be required to ask a staff person or artist for assistance. All price tags will be visible in the Up Front Gift Store so that buyers need not touch anything.

• A plexiglass barrier will be put in place at the front desk to help limit personto-person contact. The staff person at the desk will clean the point of sales system after every use with proper and CDC approved cleaners.

• There will be no COLORbar or kid’s area during the reopening of Studios on the Park. The board of directors will revisit this as state and county guidelines change. However, COLORbar and kid’s “on-the-go” kits will be available.

• Restrooms will be closed to visitors.

• Studios will run the HVAC on 100% outside air, and will maintain positive pressurization inside the building — more air coming in than going out will constantly push breathed air outdoors.

• Artists are not required to attend studios if they are uncomfortable.

• There will be no classes or events at Studios on the Park building until the state of California feels it is safe to move into larger crowds. Studios will continue to work on having lessons online.

The current exhibition at Studios on the Park is “Reweaving Our Social Fabric.” It features the art of four women and runs through June 29. The women address issues of resiliency and recovery through their pieces that can also be viewed at studiosonthepark.org.

Studios on the Park invited the four artists to offer imagery and insights for this moment of rebuilding. The featured artists — who work extensively with textile- and or cardboard-based materials, collage, stitch work and or weaving — include Marsha Shaw, a former SLO-based artist who now lives and works in San Francisco, Judy Johnson-Williams, a former Bay Area artist now living and working in Atascadero, Peg Grady, a New York-born multimedia artist currently living and working in Santa Margarita, and Corinne Lightweaver, a Los Angeles-based multimedia artist.

Studios on the Park is open from 12-4 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and from 12 to 6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday at 1130 Pine St., Paso Robles.

Although Studios on the Park is not offering classes or events, it is making Art Smart boxes available for free to children.

However, Barnhart’s best pitch is his curveball. He shows an excellent command and uses it as a strikeout pitch and to keep batters off balance. The former Bearcat committed to playing baseball at Arizona State a few years back but will now have to make a big decision — play in college or sign with the Rays.

Today, Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) sent a letter to the Governor requesting the California Department of Public Health draft reopening guidance for youth sports leagues.

In his letter, Cunningham (a youth sports coach himself ) makes the case that bringing back youth sports with the guidance of state and local public health officials would restore “some semblance of normalcy” into children’s lives. A number of reports have surfaced over the past several weeks outlining the negative mental health impacts the cancellation of school and social activities has had on

children. Youth sports could provide the social, physical, and emotional outlet that children need at this time.

Cunningham also believes that allowing for youth sports to restart is consistent with the Governor’s already-existing guidelines.

“Responsibly reopening youth sports is consistent with your administration’s recent orders that allow for professional sports to start back up. Youth sports are not played in front of large crowds, and most can be played outdoors with ample room for parents to social distance,” states the letter. “Adults and kids alike have been allowed to pack into grocery stores and big-box retail locations for

months – our kids should be allowed to play on a soccer field.”

Cunningham’s letter also points to a new COVID-19 study out of the Netherlands, which found that children play virtually no role in spreading the virus – either to other children or adults.

“Our kids are our future. Their mental and physical health is too important to keep them on the sidelines indefinitely.

The science suggests very little risk, which risk can be mitigated,” the letter concludes. “It is for these reasons that I respectfully request that the state permit local jurisdictions to allow youth sports leagues to safely resume activity with proper health guidance.”

ROTARY CLUB OF PASO ROBLES

Rotary Winemakers’ Cookoff Canceled STAFF REPORT PASO ROBLES — The prestigious Winemaker Cook-Off hosted by the Rotary Club of Paso Robles announced last week that this year’s event has been canceled.

The annual Cook-Off was scheduled for August 10, and due to the restrictions on crowd size as dictated by the State of California as a result of COVID-19, it was determined to cancel the 2020 event and reschedule for next year.

This year would have been the 22nd annual event which raises scholarships for local graduating seniors.

Last year the Rotary Club of Paso Robles contributed another $65,000 to the Harlow Ford Scholarship Fund.

Each year, the club’s continuing support has made it the

largest single scholarship donor at Paso Robles High School.

The event highlights our exceptional winemakers of the Paso Robles region who donate their time, wine, food, staff, and culinary expertise to make this event truly memorable. Part of the fun and excitement of the Cookoff is watching the wineries competing for coveted the ‘People’s Choice’ and ‘Judges’ Choice’ awards.

The annual event is highly popular and is known to tickle your taste buds, as you listen to live music and have a great time all while benefiting local high-school seniors.

The organizers of the event thank all of the loyal supporters of the Cook-Off and vow to put on an event next year, which will be bigger and better than ever.

SUPREME COURT

Supreme Court Delivers Major Victory to LGBTQ Workers STAFF REPORT WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Supreme Court ruled Monday, June 15, that the federal law prohibiting discrimination in the workplace protects gay, lesbian or transgender employees from being disciplined, fired or turned down for a job based on their sexual orientation.

It is viewed as a significant victory for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer workers. The justices said the law’s ban on job discrimination based on “sex” can be read to forbid bias against employees because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

California is one of at least 20 other states that already protect LGBTQ employees from workplace discrimination. This decision impacts many states in the South and Midwest that did not have protections in place.

The surprising 6-3 vote included favor-

The Supreme Court justices were finally able to hear this case after seven months on the docket. File photo

able votes from two of the Court’s Republican appointees — Neil Gorsuch and John Robert — who joined the Court’s Democratic appointees.

“Those who adopted the Civil Rights Act might not have anticipated their work would lead to this particular result. Likely, they weren’t thinking about many of the Act’s consequences that have become apparent over the years, including its prohibition against discrimination on the basis of motherhood or its ban on the sexual

harassment of male employees,” Gorsuch wrote.

“But the limits of the drafters’ imagination supply no reason to ignore the law’s demands,” he continued. “When the express terms of a statute give us one answer and extratextual considerations suggest another, it’s no contest. Only the written word is the law, and all persons are entitled to its benefit.”

The Civil Rights Act of 1964, also known as Title VII, is a landmark civil rights and labor law in the United States that outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

Congress has spent more than four decades considering and failing to pass measures that would expand coverage of the Act by adding sexual orientation to the list of protected traits.

Gorsuch is an appointee of sitting President Donald J. Trump and penned the major opinion.

ing, and training employees on their COVID-19 prevention plan.

Businesses planning to resume operations on June 12 or after must review the State guidance, conduct a risk assessment, and complete the self-certification form available at Emergencyslo. org/reopening.

“The County is committed to moving forward and reopening our communities. I reviewed the State’s guidance documents and our most current local data before approving these industries to reopen,” said Dr. Borenstein. The County Health Department and California Department of Public Health will continue to monitor local indicators.

At this time, the State contin-

ing a statute, but that is deceptive...A more brazen abuse of our authority to interpret statutes is hard to recall. The Court tries to convince readers that it is merely enforcing the terms of the statute, but that is preposterous.”

Before Monday’s ruling, court decisions or enforcement authorities in nearly half of U.S. states interpreted state law to prohibit workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

In the remaining states, LGBTQ workers had no legal protection against being fired, demoted or paid less on account of those traits.

While the decision is hailed as major civil rights victory, LGBTQ individuals in many states still have no legal protection against other forms of discrimination, such as housing or public accommodations.

This has been sitting on the Court’s docket for more than seven months. It was argued in October of 2019.

COVID-19 UPDATE

State Releases New Guidance for More Industries to Reopen SAN LUIS OBISPO — State health officials issued new guidance on June 5 for several business sectors to reopen no sooner than Friday, June 12.

County Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein reviewed each guidance document and approved the reopening for those additional industries.

The new State guidance addresses: • Statewide: Schools; childcare (updated); day camps; casinos operated by sovereign tribal nations; entertainment production (music, film and television); and professional sports without live audiences; and • Counties with variances: Campgrounds, RV Parks, and outdoor recreation; hotels, lodging and short-term rentals; cardrooms, satellite wagering facilities and racetracks; family entertainment centers and movie theaters; restaurants, bars, and wineries; museums, galleries, zoos, and aquariums; and fitness facilities.

As stay-at-home orders are modified, businesses must take all steps necessary to ensure the safety of workers and customers.

Key business practices include physical distancing to the maximum extent possible, use of face coverings by employees and patrons, frequent handwashing, regular cleaning and disinfect-

“An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a different sex. Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids,” wrote Gorsuch.

The decision Monday is not an absolute guarantee of workplace protections for LGBTQ people in the future. Congress can make changes to the law but it would need to reach a consensus to do so, which it has been unable to do so on this issue in the past.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh dissented from the ruling, feeling they were becoming legislators.

“There is only one word for what the Court has done today: legislation,” wrote Alito in a dissent joined by Thomas. “The document that the Court releases is in the form of a judicial opinion interpret-

ues to discourage out-of-area tourism. Organized sports that involve physical contact such as basketball, baseball, soccer, and football are currently not permitted by the State; in addition to playgrounds, waterparks, sauna, steam baths, and spas.

It is recommended that fitness facilities and other venues designate special hours of operation for seniors and medically vulnerable populations. The County disallows indoor group fitness classes and will reevaluate this guidance in three weeks For COVID-19 and specif ic industry reopening updates, visit ReadySLO.org. A staffed phone assistance center at 805-543-2444 is available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., to assist with COVID-19 related questions.

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — The total number of new COVID-19 cases in San Luis Obispo County increased by 23 cases over the weekend, according to the latest data released by the County of San Luis Obispo. The County moved into Phase 3 of reopening on Friday, June 12.

The new cases can be attributed to mostly close contact (family), community spread, and a cluster of cases can be attributed to a graduation party, according to county officials.

“I understand the increase in cases in recent days may alarm some, yet it is not unexpected as we continue to reopen amid a pandemic,” said Dr. Penny Borenstein, County Health Officer.

“However, our hospitalized cases remain low and cases in the ICU remain low at this time, both of which we will be watching very closely moving forward.”

As of Thursday afternoon, San Luis Obispo County has had 376 confirmed COVID-19 cases to date. Out of 14,516 tests conducted, 102 were confirmed by the SLO Public Health Lab and 245 were confirmed by private-industry labs.

Hospitalized cases and ICU cases remain stable.

The County also announced that it was going from two live-streamed updates to just once each week, Wednesday afternoon.

UPDATED GUIDANCE The State Public Health Department recently released updated guidance for activities protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, including places of worship, religious services and cultural ceremonies, and other constitutionally protected activities, such as the

COMMUNITY ATTRACTION

right to protest.

These activities that take place outdoors no longer have an attendance cap as long as strict physical distancing measures are in place.

“Exercising our right to peacefully protest and attend church is an inherent American value,” Borenstein said. “However, let’s all remember the health and safety precautions we each need to take to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”

While the new state guidance lifts attendance caps for outdoor First Amendment activities, the number of individuals attending an indoor religious service or protest is still capped at 100 people or 25 percent of a building’s capacity, whichever is less. Strict physical distancing policies should also be in place.

This new guidance replaces guidance issued in May and does not obligate places of worship to resume in-person activity. It is strongly recommended that places of worship continue to facilitate remote services and other related activities for those who are vulnerable to COVID-19, including older adults and those with comorbidities.

Anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 should stay home to help prevent the spread of COVID19. Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Less common symptoms include fatigue, body aches, chills, sore throat, and may include runny nose or diarrhea.

Older adults and individuals with underlying medical conditions are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. Anyone with these symptoms should get tested at one of the many no-cost testing sites throughout the County. To find out more about how to get tested visit: emergencySLO.org/testing.

Atascadero’s Charles Paddock Zoo Reopens on June 17 STAFF REPORT ATASCADERO — After months of being closed, the Charles Paddock Zoo reopened to the public Wednesday, June 17. Hours will be daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. By following all state and San Luis Obispo County guidelines for reopening, the Zoo will only allow 30-40 guests into the facility at a time, which will keep within the social distancing and safety guidelines.

Although the Charles Paddock Zoo has been closed, the staff members adjusted to comply with State and County orders related to COVID-19, and have been busy working behind the scenes to care for all of the animals and the facility.

While physically closed, the Zookeepers have been coming up with innovative ideas to keep the members of the community and the Zoo’s animal residents

virtually connected. Throughout the shelter-at-home, everyone could continue to learn more about, see, and enjoy their animal friends from anywhere at any time.

Connecting the Zoo and the animals virtually was an activity that residents could participate in while in the safety of their own home, and since it was such a success being able to connect virtually will continue.

To support the Charles Paddock Zoo, you can now book virtual tours, field trips, birthday parties, camps and Cub Club! To book one of these terrific programs, visit the website at charlespaddockzoo. org, send an email to zooeducation@atascadero.org, or call 805-461-5080.

Carrying on the Conversation

EDITORIAL BOARD 13 STARS MEDIA

I

n light of the national conversations regarding where the “thin blue line” should be redrawn, we felt compelled to assert our position in the bigger picture as a matter of transparency.

As members of our community and our nation grapple with perspectives surrounding police brutality, violence, and abuse of power, we have a part to play in all fairness and equality to the members in every corner of our community.

When vandals and drug users became a problem in the creek area near Centennial Plaza, we exposed it and it was addressed by those responsible.

When peaceful protests assembled to speak, we listened and shared. When hostile protests assembled, we listened and shared.

Our sentiment as a company is that “no innocent person should feel threatened or be harmed.”

That sentiment is extended by us

to all members of our population — locally and nationally — and is especially true of the most vulnerable.

As a nation and a community, we showed that unified resolve when we sheltered against the coronavirus against our better judgment.

We didn’t know enough, so we went over and beyond for all our people.

We took action to protect innocent lives. Lately, a lot of innocent lives are not being protected. As a nation, reform of ideas and habits is taking place.

From police unions promising change to municipalities promising attention, a deep conversation regarding American culture and American history is taking place.

National reforms are being taken seriously, and actions by protesters demonstrating a need for further conversations locally.

Meaningful change will not come from choosing a side on a national level or a local level. Meaningful change will come from meaningful efforts to face uncomfortable truths and accept the things we cannot change. It will require the courage to change the things we can. It will require the wisdom to know the difference.

As a newspaper and magazine company, our platform is our difference. It is a platform for discussion and honest conversation between members of our community who

have lived through real-life experiences that have made them feel less safe, less worthy, or less respected.

Not all feelings are justifiable by the facts, but not all facts demand the ignoring of feelings. We can make a difference if we continue to talk about it.

We need to have these discussions as a community. Our role as a newspaper is to provide a platform for the sharing of diverse viewpoints — not just right or left, or black and white, but 360 degrees in living color — and hold decision-makers and elected officials accountable for their words and deeds, including their lack of words and deeds.

The Mayor of Paso Robles, Steven Martin, has promised a committee to facilitate discussion regarding fairness and equality in all levels of his local government. [information about the County and Atascadero].

We will follow that progress, but most importantly, it is those who still have the longest life to live that need to show up and insist on progress.

We all have a duty to advocate for ourselves and hold our local government accountable for things that matter to us.

We know that voices have been unheard, or even silenced, and we believe that time is over. While our newspaper is documenting newsworthy area events, we also want to

document the community conversation on important topics that impact our community.

Not everything will make it to a City Council agenda, but we have the platform to make voices heard.

It will work if people care enough to keep talking after the passion dies down.

Success is not in reaching the top of the mountain, but in continuing the climb. The moon was just one small step for man. The remaining universe awaits a humanity that deserves to venture beyond it.

We have a long way to go as a nation, and as a community. The conversation has only just begun, and we intend to provide the platforms to create a welcoming and safe place to discuss alternating viewpoints and bring awareness and humanity to issues that need a human touch.

If it was going to be easy, someone would have already done it. For our local communities, it is up to us to make meaningful change for ourselves. We invite you to reach out to us with a willingness and intention not only to share your point of view but to participate in a discussion that needs to be had.

As residents of this community, with respect to all who work to make it one of the great places to live in all the world, we believe we can do better still, and we ask you to join us.

Slapdash Budget Cuts or an Arnold-Style Bond

tent thread: The neediest will be hit hardest. For some, survival itself is threatened.

There is a solution to all this, one last used in 2004 by ex-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger at a time when the state also faced a huge budget deficit promising almost as much harm as Newsom’s May revise. The movie THOMAS ELIAS muscleman suggested borrowing COMMENTARY our way out of the crisis, getting voters to approve a $14 billion-plus f there’s one word that properly bond.

The cut Newsom’s staff proposes to this program could end up costing far more than it saves, financially and in human terms.

“This could give people a choice between being helped to get out of bed and shopping for food,” said Claire Ramsey, staff lawyer for a group called Justice in Aging. “The program is vital in ordinary times because it keeps people out of nursing homes, which cost much more than this kind of care. But now there’s an absolute need to keep people out of hospitals and nursing homes (where almost half California’s coronavirus deaths have occurred). This cut can lead directly to sickness and death.”

Not to mention sky-high hospital and nursing home bills dwarfing any budget savings from the program cutback.

Newsom also proposes eliminating Community Based Adult Services and Multi-Purpose Senior Services programs that offer some similar services.

Consequences of these moves can be even more severe than the effects of opening schools late this summer and fall, as six of California’s largest school districts say might happen because of proposed cuts. Yes, that’s important. The less time children spend in school, the more their

future can be impacted, even if they tune into virtual, computerized classes.

Early childhood education, formerly a Newsom pet program, also could be slashed, one likely result being that poor kids will fall farther behind the wealthy than they are now.

The good news here is that state legislators appear opposed to most of the worst planned cuts. The bad news is they don’t know where to find money to avoid them, short of tax increases.

A bond answers that quandary.

Borrowing to see vital programs through this time amounts to investing in the state’s future.

Wunderman points out that higher taxes would be unpopular and probably unwise in a time of high unemployment and uncertainty for thousands of businesses.

A bond, he said, could help avoid the worst fiscal effects of the virus and let California exploit historic low-interest rates.

It makes sense, it could save lives and misery, and it would not burden today’s taxpayers much. So it’s high time state legislators take the initiative back from the governor, put a bond on the November ballot and follow the Arnold example.

Editor, I grew up with six other siblings in a Catholic family, with both parents active in our rearing. My dad worked very hard to ensure we had a roof overhead and adequate meals, but he also made sure that we learned to look after one another and would ‘thump’ us if we were slipping in that grace. My mom became the

glue that seemed to hold everything together, especially as we grew older.

She managed to keep track of not just our lives but also the lives of our school friends. A phone call to the folks meant we got updates and news on everyone, even if it seemed quite insignificant or unimportant at the time. My parents succumbed to illness and death ultimately, but their dedication to raising solid citizens full of respect and charity has produced a fruitful vine not to be ashamed of.

This era has brought with it challenges we’ve not seen in any previous generation, and with it, a time where many have waxed indifferent to people’s heartfelt suffering.

This has not been the case with my family, however. The Holy Spirit has done remarkable work in all of our lives, and everyone pulls together to lift up and bear each other’s burdens.

My husband fell inexplicably ill over seven months ago and is just now able to get treatment now that COVID19 restrictions have been lifted.

VICES DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE 02-2020 OF THE SAN MIGUEL COMMUNITY SERVISES DISTRICT PERTAINING TO SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING REGULATIONS AND ENFORCMENT. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE, San Miguel Community Services District (“District”) Board of Directors will hold a public hearing on: Thursday, June 25th, 2020, at 7:00 P.M., or soon thereafter, in the Board of Directors’ Chambers located at 1150 Mission Street, San Miguel, CA. to consider the adoption and of the San Miguel Community Services District pertaining to solid waste and recycling regulations and enforcement.

The District has long provided collection services for solid waste and recycling for properties within the District.

The District has determined that periodic collection and disposal of these categories of waste benefits all residents and occupants of the District.

The District further mandates that private premises within the District may not fail to dispose of solid waste, debris, or inoperable vehicles from the property. To achieve the goal of safety and orderliness of properties within the District, owners of all developed properties in the District are mandated to properly use the District’s collection and disposal service and pay reasonable fees assessed by the District or its Franchisee/s for the service.

If an owner or occupant fails to properly dispose of waste or recyclables or allows such to collect on the property within the District, the District manager is empowered to notify the owner, his or her agent or person in control of the premises to direct the removal of the waste or recyclables.

If an owner fails to pay for the service, the District or its Franchisee/s may seek to collect the fees through reasonable means including written notices or demands, placing the charges on the following year’s tax roll of the respective property, or commencing an action in court to order the owner to pay the fees and costs of suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. The initiation of a lawsuit would only occur with Board review and approval.

The proposed ordinance here renews and makes minor modifications to the ordinance previously in existence in the District, including the right of the District to abate any property, not in compliance with the ordinance, and

make specific collection efforts for unpaid fees.

ALL INTERESTED PARTIES are invited to attend the June 25th, 2020, public hearing to express opinions or submit evidence for or against the approval of the ordinance.

At the above noted time and place, testimony from interested persons will be heard and considered by the San Miguel Community Services District Board of Directors before taking action or making any recommendation on the proposed ordinance. On request, the agenda and the documents in the hearing agenda packet can be made available to persons with a disability. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the San Miguel Community Services District encourages those with disabilities to participate fully in the public hearing process. Any person requiring special assistance to participate in the meeting should notify the Board Clerk by calling 805-467-3388 or in person at 1150 Mission Street, San Miguel, CA, at least forty-eight (48) hours before the meeting.

Interested individuals will be given an opportunity to speak in favor or opposition to the above proposed action.

Written comments are also acceptable, if submitted or delivered to the Board Clerk at the District’s Office (1150 Mission Street, San Miguel, CA) prior to the public hearing.

If a challenge to the above proposed action is made in court, persons may be limited to raising only those issues they or someone else raised at the meeting described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the District before the meeting.

Copies of the proposed ordinance are available for public review at the District Office (1150 Mission Street, San Miguel, CA) or may be found on the district website, www. sanmiguelcsd.org.

WING in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo.

The Petition for Probate requests that THOMAS M. WING be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The Petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The Petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: July 14, 2020 Time: 9:00 a.m.

Dept: 9 Address of Court: 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 DE154) 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.

We also had 35 Rhode Island Red laying hens that I got along with fair enough, and I’ll never forget the time I hypnotized a couple dozen of them, so they were laying on the ground staring at a straight line I drew in the dirt right in front of their eyes. My favorite birds, though were two ducks we raised from babies that walked around like a couple of three-year-old kids wearing new rain galoshes and splashing in puddles for the first time. Those ducks were even funnier than the time a bunch of sparrows got drunk on cotoneaster berries and fell from the telephone line.

Fortunately, I live in a part of the world where a lot of looney birds and cuckoos reside. (Take that however you will.) I’ll give you an example. In California, where I reside, there are about 500 bird species, and during two weeks of the year, when bird watchers from all over the world come to add to their life lists, they routinely report seeing over 250 species in my area alone.

Crumb Crust Ingredients: • 1 ½ cups crushed cookies or crackers, such as: vanilla wafers, graham crackers, gingersnaps, saltine crackers, or round buttery crackers.

• ¼ cup of sugar • 1 tsp. kosher salt (omit when using buttery crackers or saltines) • 6 Tbsp. butter, melted • Vegetable cooking spray Directions: Process crushed cookies or crackers, sugar, and (if used) salt in a food processor or until finely crushed and well combined. Add melted butter and process until thoroughly combined. Press on the bottom, up sides, and onto the lip of a lightly greased (with cooking spray) 9-inch regular pie plate or 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Freeze 30 minutes to 1 hour or while preparing fillings.

Note: For baked piecrusts, preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Bake crust 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Be creative with toppings. Use flavored whipped cream, fresh fruit, or jam. Use your imagination.

Enjoy Summer. Happy Father’s Day. Cheers!

bird-watchers every year. They all gather like birds of a feather with their expensive cameras, binoculars, tripods and spotting scopes and they run with all that equipment bouncing up and down when they hear that someone has spotted a new species. They’ll look at it for 20 minutes, arguing if it is a mallard or a grebe before they realize it’s a carved wooden duck sitting on top of the sign of the old bait shop.

Recently my wife and I were out walking and came upon a group of birders; all taking turns looking through a scope sitting on a tripod. I asked the man whose scope it was, “Have you found a new species to add to your life’s list?”

He said, “Go ahead; take a look.”

I tried to see a bird, but all I saw was a beautiful babe on the top deck of a yacht in the harbor who was cavorting around as if she was looking for the missing top half of her two-piece bathing suit.

I’m telling you, this bird watching grows on you after a while.

has been reconciled to God. Paul declares in Romans 5:10, “For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”

This is the only way a person can be reconciled to God. God the Father gave His Only Begotten Son as the only Savior from sin. This is what Jesus himself clearly taught in John 3:16-18, 14:6. There’s only one way to be saved from perishing and going to hell, and it is by believing in Christ’s substitutionary death for sin and His resurrection.

The New Testament scripture that declares the most about reconciliation is 2 Corinthians 5:17 -21. The Apostle Paul clearly teaches that a believer can be a “new creation” in Christ through reconcilia-

tion. God sent Christ into the world to provide reconciliation through His death.

Reconciliation provided justification “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Because a believer is righteous in God’s sight, he can have a wonderful and new relationship with God in fellowship. The Apostle Paul tells Believers that they are “ambassadors for Christ” and commissions them to implore people to be reconciled to God. This is the mission of the church. We are to implore sinners in Christ’s behalf to be reconciled to God. May I invite you to believe in Christ as your personal Savior so you can be reconciled to God? This new relationship with God will be a great blessing.

things about your dad. To find ways to make the marker permanent, you can look up options on Pinterest or Google.

Take a letter-size sheet of paper (any color), cut out the people in your photos and tape or glue them randomly on the paper, then have your kiddos write things they love about their dad around the images in different color markers or crayons. You can get crafty and add stickers or other items your littles love to do with their dad or loved one. Place in the picture frame, and you have yourself and a wonderful heartfelt gift.

Regardless of how you celebrate that special, dad, grandpa, mentor or other loved one this Sunday, just remember the blessing of being able to spend time together in person or virtually. Some of us are missing our dads for various reasons, so take the day, fill your soul with sunshine and love, and know that you are not alone.

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers, dads, papas, grandads, and other special people in your life who have helped guide, mentor, and inspire you to be who you are today.

The three proposed commercial areas would include commercial, office, retail, and restaurant space. The Village Commercial Center would include 17 workforce apartment units.

The land for the project proposed by Quorum Realty Fund IV is at the northwest corner of the Highway 46 West and Highway 101 interchange.

The plan calls for a five-star resort to sit roughly a mile back from the highways. Nearly 100 acres of open space will be between the resort and the commercial centers and the single-family homes, some of which will also be short-term rentals.

Everyone on the council was impressed with the applicant’s thoroughness.

“Overall, this is actually one of the nicest projects we’ve ever had presented to us,” said Councilmember Fred Strong. “I find it difficult to say no to something that has been done this well.”

Councilmember Steve Gregory said bringing a five-star resort was the next step in the evolution of Paso Robles as a premier tourist destination.

“I agree this is an incredible project and an incredible opportunity for our community,” Gregory said.

“We have a very large shortage for a five-star resort project like this in our community and it will bring in millions of dollars toward the TOT tax (transient occupancy tax) revenues for the city.”

The project will also, according to the City, the applicant and the council, provide a solution to the traffic problems at the intersection of the highways.

The project requires reconfiguration of the South Vine Street State Route 46 West intersection, westward to realign with the Theatre Drive and State Route 46 signal. South Vine Street will be relocated within and adjacent to the project site.

The realignment of South Vine Street is only one part of the U.S. 101/SR 46 W interchange improvement project. Part 1, which included the relocation of Theater Drive west of the original intersection location, has been completed. Part 2 consists of the realignment of South Vine Street to align with the new Theater Drive intersection.

And Part 3 includes converting the existing compact diamond, signal-controlled ramp intersections into roundabouts.

Quorum Realty will be paying for some of the Vine Street realignment. The City is expected to be working with Caltrans and San Luis Obispo County on the interchange. Councilmember Strong said considering the importance of the intersection that grant funding would likely be available to cover much of the costs.

Water was also a concern, and city staff explained that there would be enough water at full build-out and that the applicant mitigated this further by reducing the amount of water it would need. This project has been on the City’s radar for years and was part of the City’s long-term planning.

There is still much work to be done before breaking ground, such as realignment of South Vine Street. The project also needs approval from San Luis Obispo County’s Local Agency Formation

Commission.

LAFCOs are state-mandated local governmental agencies responsible for making decisions regarding proposals for incorporating cities, forming special districts, and determining spheres of influence, considering annexations and other actions under the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act. The other major part of more than five hours of the City Council meeting was approving the budget for 2020-21. Due to the revenue loss from COVID19 stay-home orders, the City needed to close a projected $13 million gap in the budget.

The City covered this by using $6 million of its $18 million reserve. To close the remainder, the city staff proposed reductions in services such as eliminating the aquatics program.

The bulk of the remaining $7 million shortfall would come from its list of capital improvement projects, totaling $4.4 million, such as not paying $2.6 million for the homeless warming shelter and

$590,000 for Downtown parking lot improvements.

Also on the chopping block was funding for three partner agencies — Paso Robles Downtown Main Street Association, the Paso Robles Chamber of Commerce, and the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance. City staff proposed cutting their funding in half, but the council countered with keeping them at their current funding level for the next six months and then reevaluating. The council clearly stated they would like to see these groups work toward not relying on this funding.

Part of the budget approval included not renewing a contract for economic development with the Paso Robles Chamber of Commerce. The three-year contract expires at the end of June. City staff said they could bring this inhouse.

The next City Council meeting is scheduled for July 7. Meetings will continue via teleconference and live-streamed per state COVID-19 guidelines. For more information, visit prcity.com.

CHIEF LEWIS CONTINUED FROM A1

tions, leaving you to wonder, and explaining to our children what was transpiring. Undoubtedly, that angst will remain for years to come.

Now the real work begins as this investigation is in its infancy.

Our department will be repaired.

Broken windows will be fixed.

Scars in brickwork will remain as a reminder of the dangers we face.

But tomorrow is a new day. We will recover from this. Paso will get back to normal. We may be battered but are far from broken.

We are Paso Strong!

WILLIAMS CONTINUED FROM A1

U.S. economy, and out of those changes came opportunity. 13 Stars Media was looking for a managing editor and reached out to Williams to see how things were going in Brookings.

“We left the door wide open when Brian left, and it just happened that we had an opportunity for his skills and leadership here,” Nic Mattson said. “It just worked out the way it was supposed to. We parted ways in January on good faith, and that was a strong bridge in making his return feel like the right thing at the right time.”

In a turbulent world of print and digital media where transience dominates across the country, 13 Stars Media pursued stable leadership for the company and a longterm home for Williams and his wife. A five-year minimum commitment on both sides was made before Williams agreed to move from Oregon back to the Paso Robles area.

“Ultimately, it was the people that brought me back and everything they do,” Williams said.

“The opportunity to team up with a group of people that when faced with a pandemic continued to push forward and make the community better.”

Williams’ skill set and familiarity with the local area made for turnkey adaption of his new

role as managing editor of the several print and digital products published by 13 Stars Media.

Along with Williams’ position, 13 Stars Media also created a News Correspondent position that former sports writer Connor Allen transitioned to as the company moves through the economic challenges created by the COVID-19 response.

“The challenges facing small media companies, especially those that continue to endeavor print, are no secret,” Nic Mattson said. “The 2020 pandemic posed a national crisis, and we were not immune. Our ability to pivot and come out even stronger than before has been a testament to a great business community and support. Now, with strong leadership in our editorial department with Brian, we are ready to do some great things as a company while still being prepared to face what could be a challenging finish to 2020.”

For the Mattson’s and 13 Stars Media, Williams fit the bill for what the company was looking for facing an uncertain future where the best way to predict it would be to create it.

“My goal is to publish the best darn newspaper around and be the best darn media company,” Williams said. “We are a small staff, but we are mighty. We record the community’s history by telling its story through words and photos. But we are so much more than just a newspaper, and we improve by living that day in and day out.”
