Board of Supervisors addresses housing needs and water issues facing the county

Downtown Parking Advisory Commission Recommends Extending Senior Permits

By MELISSA MATTSON melissa@pasoroblespress.com SAN LUIS OBISPO — The County Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday, Mar. 16, for a regularly scheduled meeting.

The consent agenda was passed unanimously, 5-0, before the Board went on to the other items, starting with the COVID19 update from County Health Advisor Penny Borenstein.

Borenstein mentioned the one-year mark for the county from our first case a year ago on Mar. 14. Currently, there are nine people in the hospital, which is the first time the county has been in single digits since November 2020.

Vaccinations have nearly reached 12,000 individuals and have been opened up to more employment sectors, including anyone in childcare, emergency services, food and agriculture, public transit, and residents of congregate care settings.

Additionally, any private individuals ages 16-65 who have underlying health conditions can now also sign up for the vaccination.

Borenstein recapped the update on the allowances in the red tier, including live music and youth sports, at 20 percent capacity.

Wineries and breweries may now serve outdoor, without serving a meal, but must schedule by reservations and be limited to 90 minutes.

Following Borenstein was a presentation by Guy Savage on the America Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which is what the federal government is doing in response to COVID, introducing the 1.9 trillion dollar package.

This plan also includes the payments to individuals in the form of a stimulus, as well as extended unemployment, set to continue through September.

Lastly, there is funding for states, localities, and schools. California in total will receive a little over 42 billion, with 26 of that being allocated to the state and the rest going to cities and counties.

PASO ROBLES — The process of hiring a replacement City Manager is taking much longer than anticipated by the City. Starting on Apr. 19, Greg Carpenter will step in as interim City Manager.

In November 2020, current City Manager Tom Frutchey announced his planned departure from the City in February 2021.

Council unanimously approved Carpenter to act as a temporary City Manager until the City has found a permanent replacement.

Carpenter was previously City Manager for the City of Long Beach from 2002-2008. From 2008-2012 Carpenter was Director of Planning and Building Safety for the City of El Segundo and then was their City Manager from 2012-2019.

During the meeting, Carpenter introduced himself. For the past 13 years, Carpenter has owned a home just outside of Paso and is looking forward to getting to know the town more.

PRJUSD Trustees Met in Special Session to Discuss Current Projects Concerned residents continue to voice support for Georgia Brown

By CAMILLE DeVAUL PASO ROBLES — On Friday Mar. 12, Paso Robles Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees toured campuses slated for Measure M improvements.

The following day, Saturday, Mar. 13, at 8 a.m. Trustees met for a board meeting to discuss and study all the current projects.

Throughout the meeting, public comment was filled with citizens concerned with the Georgia Brown Elementary campus’s possible closure. Georgia Brown is home to a popular dual immersion program and is located at 525 36th Street off Oak Street.

An unnamed member of the public asked a question during the first presentation, “On a positive scenario, what could we have done in regards to Measure M money to repair Georgia Brown? I know it’s not going to be perfect but flipping it on a positive side, what

other possibility can be done given Measure M money?”

Brad Pawlowski responded by saying, “With the $13 million that are allocated right now there are options that we can sit down with an architect, and we can tell them ‘the budget is $13.8 million, that includes all soft costs, so their design costs, it’s going to include all of the inspection costs, it’s going to include all the fees we pay a DSA and design something that will fit that need. We can do that. We can sit down with them and see what they can present to us. It will be a

challenge--it will be a stretch to see what we can do.”

The Georgia Brown campus requires various repairs, including leaking roofs which are so deteriorated that they need to be replaced entirely. Three wings on the campus are original from the 1950s and need to be brought up to code.

Trustee Chris Bausch said, “We can’t really rebuild Georgia Brown. If the board decides to keep Georgia Brown, it would have to come back to approaching the $21 million that was originally estimated to rebuild it. More than

the $13 million that was allocated in measure M. That’s a real tough decision.”

Superintendent Curt Dubost did remind trustees, “As you stated before, the board could vote if they chose to eliminate another project and reallocate those funds to a different project within the [same] scope.”

Callers like Elena Garcia and many others said they understand the district is looking at closing the Georgia Brown campus with the dual immersion program moving to another school.

During her public comment, Garcia mentioned that despite the district’s impression enrollment is declining, it is relatively steady.

Garcia said, “The district is stating that the nearly $14 million originally outlined to be allocated to Georgia Brown is not enough to adequately complete the repairs and renovations necessary for that campus. I believe that’s accurate,

but I ask the board why was Georgia Brown allowed to get to this state. The state that it is in today.

It didn’t happen by accident. The district clearly made the decision time and time again not to address the needed repairs. It was not an accident. Clearly put, the Georgia Brown campus has never been at the top of the district’s priority list, and that clearly remains true today-do not pull the rug from under these students and families.”

Trustee Nathan Williams requested an action item to be added to a future agenda. Williams requested an item to be added to discuss grants Swim Paso hopes to apply for funding the Aquatics Complex. There is no set meeting for when this item will be added to the agenda.

The next regular school board meeting is scheduled for Mar. 23. You can watch this and other PRJUSD board meetings on the district’s YouTube page.

Sports Back in Full Swing with More to Come

Cal Poly, UC Davis Wage First of Two Golden Horseshoe Battles The Beau Baldwin Era at Cal Poly opened last weekend STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — The first of two battles for the Golden Horseshoe during the 2020-21 spring football season takes place Saturday at UC Davis Health Stadium as Cal Poly (0-1, 0-1 Big Sky) travels to face the No. 21 UC Davis Aggies (1-1, 1-1 Big Sky).

Kickoff is set for 1:05 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN Radio (1280 AM and 101.7 FM), with Chris Sylvester (play-by-play) and Stephan Hodges (color) calling the action. Pregame show starts at 12:30 p.m. The game also will be streamed on Pluto TV Channel 1063 and WatchBigSky.com and will be broadcast on CW 31 in the Sacramento area. Links for audio and video streams and live stats are available on the football schedule page at GoPoly.com.

The Beau Baldwin Era at Cal Poly opened last weekend, more than 15 months after he was named Cal Poly’s 17th head football coach on Dec. 11, 2019, and the Mustangs fell 34-24 to Southern Utah. Cal Poly outscored the Thunderbirds 17-3 in the second half but couldn’t complete the comeback from a 31-7 halftime deficit. Southern Utah won in San Luis Obispo for the first time since 1988, snapping a 15-game losing streak, and also earned its first win on the road since 2017.

UC Davis has split its first two games, opening with a 27-17 win at Idaho and falling 18-13 at Weber State.

Coach Dan Hawkins’ Aggies gave up just 17.5 points per game during the first two weeks but scored just 20.0 and are averaging 194 yards per game on the ground and 209 through the air.

Quarterback Hunter Rodrigues completed 36 of 57 passes for 382 yards and four touchdowns in his first two starts with the Aggies. His favorite target has been Carson Crawford, with ten catches for 148 yards and a pair of scores. Veteran Ulonzo Gilliam has rushed for 208 yards in two games, while Lan Larison has added 104 yards on the ground.

Cal Poly fans are anticipating major changes, particularly on offense, with Baldwin at the helm. The Triple Option is gone, and the new offensive package likely will result in three or four wide receivers on most plays with one running back instead of two slotbacks, a fullback, and a pair of receivers in the formation.

Baldwin guided Eastern Washington for nine seasons, compiling an 85-32 overall mark with five Big Sky titles and six NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff berths, including the 2010 national championship. In the last three years before he became Cal Poly’s head coach, Baldwin was the offensive coordinator at Cal, leading the Bears to a pair of bowl games.

Baldwin greeted 53 returning lettermen shortly after his arrival on campus, including 17 starters (10 offense, seven defense) off the 2019 squad which went 3-8 and shared ninth place in the Big Sky with four other schools.

Topping the list of returnees are sophomore quarterback Jalen Hamler, junior running back Duy Tran-Sampson, defensive lineman Myles Cecil, and linebacker Matt Shotwell.

Hamler completed 62 of 108 passes for 1,167 yards and 12 touchdowns while also rushing for 522 yards and nine more scores. Tran-Sampson, a second-team All-Big Sky fullback, rushed for 1,037 yards and eight touchdowns but will miss the spring season due to a leg injury. Shotwell, a third-team All-Big Sky selection, led Cal Poly in tackles for the second straight year with 89 (90 in 2018), and Cecil, an All-Big honorable mention in 2019, made 35 stops after garnering 39 tackles in 2018.

Cal Poly, which captured the 2012 Big Sky title in its first year in the conference, was picked to finish 10th by both the head coaches and the media in the 13-team Big Sky this fall. Weber State was selected to claim the 2020-21 Big Sky crown, followed by Montana and Montana State. Both the Grizzlies and Bobcats have opted out of the 2020-21 spring season and Sacramento State, Portland State, and Northern Colorado.

The Mustangs claimed four Great West Conference titles in the eight-year history of the league (2004, 2005, 2008, 2011) before moving to the Big Sky in 2012 and have earned NCAA Division I FCS playoff berths in 2005, 2008, 2012, and 2016.

The Mustangs have won 65 of their last 95 home contests (69 percent) and, overall, Cal Poly has won 107 of its previous 195 games (56 percent) going back to the 2002 finale and has won 24 of its last 58 and 43 of 96 on the road while producing 12 winning seasons in the last 19 years.

Next week, Cal Poly continues its three-game road trip with a Saturday date at Eastern Washington. Kickoff is set for 1:05 p.m.

ast weekend North County High School Spring Sports continued in full swing, and three more are about to debut this upcoming weekend.

Get ready for some football!

Atascadero The Atascadero High School’s cross country team was back in action this weekend, taking on the Titans in Nipomo. Atascadero and Nipomo raced on a flat 2.5-mile course that yielded some great times for both the boys and girls. The Greyhound girls defeated the Titans 40-71 while the boys lost 61-44 but were without their two captains.

The Greyhound girls were able to run to victory behind strong races from Faith Rocha, who won her second race in a row, Anna Archibald and Kelsie Rigby, who each placed inside the top five. Rocha pushed the pace and led all runners with a time of 14:50. Archibald finished in third place with a time of 15:53, followed closely by Rigby, who placed fifth with a time of 15:59. Amelie Lovo (16:19), who placed sixth, and Chelsea Stilts (16:29), who placed seventh, rounded out the Hounds top five.

The boys raced Sunday with senior captain Owen Fang or junior captain Tyson Rigby but still put together a strong team performance with four boys inside the top 10. Atascadero was led on Saturday by Kyle Shatwell (13:19), who placed fourth, followed by Dane Hardy (13:25) in fifth, Karl Walrod (13:58) in seventh and Nathan Cooks (14:00) in eighth.

AHS girls tennis played one match last week against Arroyo Grande and had one rained out that has been rescheduled for Monday. The Eagles handed the Hounds their first loss of the season, winning 5-3. Atascadero’s Noella Breytenbach won her singles match handily 6-3, 6-0 playing in the number three position, but the match of the day went to Kyla Stokes in the number six spot. Stokes dropped her first set 3-6 before winning the next two 7-5, 10-1 to earn the singles victory.

Atascadero’s third point came from the doubles team of Kylie Sims and Nina Bedell, who won in straight sets 6-2, 6-4.

unlike standard cross country races that take the runners on a journey through hills and dales. Although Templeton ran hard, they came up short. The boys fell to Santa Maria 35-24 while the girls lost 38-20.

The race of the day was between the Eagle’s Josh Bell, who just broke the Templeton school record in back-toback weeks, and the Saints’ Yair Torres.

The speedsters raced along the track neck and neck for much of the race but were robbed of a photo finish when Torres ran into a teammate trying to weave through the cluttered crowd of athletes. Bell placed first overall with a time of 15:24 and was joined in the top five by teammate Nick Jansen who placed fifth with a time of 17:13.

Jayden Buck (17:28) and Max Chalekson (17:30) placed seventh and eighth respectively and Nikita Norton (18:23) rounded out the Eagle’s top five.

The Templeton girls were led once again by Maddie Bobbitt, who has proved to be one of the top runners in the league with her fourth consecutive first-place finish. Bobbitt outpaced everyone in the race finishing with a blistering time of 19:19. Finishing second for the Eagles and in seventh overall was Hannah Macfarlane (21:41), followed by Ava Lawrence (22:37) in ninth, Ashlyn Estes (22:49) in tenth and Mariana Perez (23:07) in eleventh.

The girl’s tennis team from Templeton did not compete last week due to a Santa Maria forfeit.

Paso Robles The Paso Robles water polo teams were back in action last week as the boys played against Bakersfield-Garces Memorial while the girls faced Santa Ynez. The Lady Bearcats got down early but fought their way back, making it close, but ultimately lost to the Pirates 10-7. Offensively the girls were led by Allison Hernandez, who put five goals in the back of the net.

The boys struggled against a strong and Graces team, falling 26-8. The Bearcat offense was led by Tre Eade and Cole Eberhard, who scored two goals each. Michael Brown, Jakob Baier, Ethan Vitale and Cameron Clayton also each added a single goal.

Paso Robles’ girls tennis team has also kicked off their season but had both their matches last week rained out. So far on the young season, the girls are 0-2 after a pair of really close losses to the Greyhounds two weeks ago. Paso Robles dropped the first match 4-5 and the second 3-6. While the BearTempleton cats dropped both matches, no. 1 player The Templeton Eagle cross country Abby Reimer remained undefeated teams were also in action last week and winning 6-1, 6-1 in the first match and faced Santa Maria High School who 6-0, 6-2 in the second match. boasts one of the top boys and girls teams in the local area.

Atascadero will travel to Arroyo Grande to take on the Eagles. The Hounds were scheduled to begin their league schedule and play Pioneer Valley on Friday night, but the game was switched due to a “COVID postponement,” according to AHS Athletic Director Sam DeRose.

On Saturday, both baseball and softball make their return.

The Atascadero Greyhounds will begin the season by hosting the Morro Bay Pirates for a doubleheader, while the Bearcats will welcome the Nipomo Titans to Barnhart Field for just a single game.

All three softball teams will begin their seasons on the road.

Paso Robles will play in Nipomo, Atascadero will play in Morro Bay and Templeton will travel to Santa Maria.

Athletic attendance is being allowed on a case-by-case basis depending on the school, the sport, and space available. Some sports may allow for multiple family members to watch games in person, while others will not.

All three schools have set up live streaming options to view a majority of the upcoming sporting events for those not allowed in attendance. Those interested in watching a broadcast of Bearcat games with a full play-byplay and color commentary team should follow 805 Broadcasters on Facebook and the Voice of Paso Sports Network. Live streams of Atascadero sports without audio are available for select games and can be found on the school’s website, while Templeton will be streaming their games on the NFHS Network.

NON-PROFIT

North County NeighborAid Receives $10K Grant that they have been approved for a $10,000 grant from the San Luis Obispo Community Disaster Support Fund.

North County NeighborAid is a nonprofit organization founded its original incarnation as North County Womenade 2019 and recently changed its name as it was a bit of a misnomer. The nonprofit was founded by three local ladies, Michelle Blanc, a local nurse, Pastor Amy Beveridge of Bethel Funding From SLO Community Lutheran Church, and Lisa Fraser, who works with The Community Link and The Center For Family Disaster Support Fund Strengthening.

By CONNOR ALLEN The organization began as a way to help people get an extra meal or pay for a medical bill here and SAN LUIS OBISPO — The North County there but has seen the need of the community grow NeighborAid, formerly known as North County during the COVID-19 pandemic and answered the Womenade, announced via their spring bulletin call helping local residents with everything from

rent to funeral fees.

In just two months of work in 2021, the North County NeighborAid has helped 57 different people in 24 separate households in Atascadero, Paso Robles and San Miguel. Year-to-date, the NeighborAid has spent $4797.86.

The nonprofit organization currently has a waiting list but hopes that the new grant can help fulfill some more requests. The North County NeighborAid is always generally funded by kind-hearted donations from local households, and like most nonprofit organizations, COVID-19 has spread them thin.

IN MEMORIAM

Memorial Cruise Dedicated to Perry on First Anniversary of His Murder

By CAMILLE DeVAUL PASO ROBLES — Family and friends of Trevon Perry gathered in Paso Robles City Park on Mar. 15, marking the first anniversary of his murder.

To commemorate their friend, brother, son, family, and friends joined together in a memorial cruise, driving from Walmart, and ended at City Park, meeting in front of the park bench dedicated to Perry’s memory.

Perry’s younger sister, Caryssa Esquivel, said, “I hope that something like this can happen on every anniversary. I don’t want this to fade away. I want people to remember the name Trevon Perry forever.”

Perry, 28, Paso Robles resident, was reported missing on Mar. 16, 2020.

His body was found on Jun. 18, 2020, at a home in the City of Riverside.

Several arrests have been made in relation to Perry’s murder.

The first arrest was made on Jun. 28, 2020, when Paso Robles Police Department detectives with the San Luis Obispo County District Attor-

ney’s Office arrested 23-year-old Nicholas Ron of Paso Robles for the murder of Perry.

Most recently, Mario Rostro III (23, Lovelock, NV ) and Heather Montgomery (25, Lovelock, NV) were arrested in Lovelock, Nevada for 32 PC, accessory to murder on Feb. 18.

“Every arrest is getting us closer to justice--every arrest, every new court date is a tiny step forward, and that big step will be a trial. We will get our answers, hopefully, as long as the truth is going to be told,” said Esquivel.

For a history of arrests in the Perry case, read our previous article by visiting pasoroblespress.com/news/ investigators-arrest-two-in-nevadafor-accessory-to-murder-of-trevonperry/ Esquivel said, “My message throughout this whole thing has been right is right, wrong is wrong. If someone you love is doing something wrong and you support that, I think that’s wrong--I think people need to stand up, speak up, and not be quiet because that’s why people don’t get justice.”

Atascadero Family Resource Center Expands Services

Templeton Community Services District Suggests New Water Conservation Programs

By CONNOR ALLEN ATASCADERO — The Link Family Resource Center is expanding its services in 2021 thanks to an expansion award from the Mental Health Services Act Fund at the state level. With the additional MHSA State funding, the Link is expanding from six middle schools to 12 middle schools and growing from seven to 11 Family Advocates.

“We have been growing this organization so fast over the last year and a half. It has just been an amazing ride ever since COVID-19 began.” Link Executive Director Lisa Fraser told the Atascadero News. “You would think that the whole world stopped, but it has been the opposite for the Link Family Resource Center. We are now expanding from seven to 11 family advocates, and those advocates will be working in multiple regions throughout the county.”

The Link FRC has been a longtime provider of qualified Family Advocate services and a coordinator of non-profit leadership that delivers comprehensive services for families in need throughout San Luis Obispo County.

The Link Family Advocates, who are key members of their success, are dependable members that work in teams consisting of a school Prevention Coordinator and a Behavioral Health Student Support Counselor that provide integrated services on campus to immediately respond to behavioral health needs as well as increase prevention opportunities for youth.

“Right now, our main concern is to save kids from drugs, suicide,

and abuse,” Sonja Green, who works as a Family Advocate, said. “Now we are working to catch it early, and that is why this program is good because we spend. We are spending big time now and just focusing on the middle school kids. I think the main focus is to save the youths.”

By focusing on middle school students who are at risk due to poor attendance, behavior issues, pregnancy, academic failure, a physical or learning disability, juvenile offenses, being in foster care, and or low socioeconomic home environment, The Link Family Advocates are changing the way we respond to problems surfacing at school.

While the Family Advocates do not excuse problems with behavior, attendance or poor grades, they also don’t condemn the students for it. Instead, the Family Advocates are working to understand and address the students and their families’ underlying issues that might be contributing to the negative behaviors.

With help from the Family Advocates, families learn how to access and utilize the programs and resources available to them in the community.

The Link FRC can now expand to 12 middle schools, doubling the amount they had in 2020. The Link will now have 11 Family Advocates working across the county at Atascadero, Flamson, Santa Lucia, Los Osos, Judkins, Mesa, Lewis, Lillian Larsen, Shandon, Laguna, Templeton and Paulding Middle Schools.

“I project that we will be able to help an additional 200 or more students,” Fraser said. “But the focus is not as much on the students as it is on the families.”

Those needing assistance or wishing to donate time or resources should contact Link FRC on their website linkslo.org/.

The meeting started with a report from the Sheriff ’s department, which spoke of the downward trend in crime when compared to the month of February 2020. While addressing the downward trend, it was brought up that crime still does exist, and members of the community should be aware and vigilant.

Next, the TCSD addressed the consent agenda, which was passed unanimously with a vote of 4-0, as Director Pam Jardini was absent from the meeting.

General Manager Jeff Briltz spoke on the COVID-19 update and addressed the new guidance from the state, issued on Mar. 5, which addressed live performances. As of now, the county has not addressed programs such as the concerts in the park, but the hope is that these will be addressed with the future move to the orange tier, at which time guidance on how to proceed with these events will be provided. Additionally, at this time, half of the full-time staff relating to TCSD has received at least one dose of the vaccine. The vaccine is currently available to firefighters, wastewater workers, recreation center staff, as well as administrative support staff.

The next item was the waiving of the first reading and adopting of the Ordinance No. 2021-2 codifying District Codes. In June 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the General Manager to enter into an agreement with Municode to codify the District’s Ordinances and host the District’s Ordinances and

Resolutions on a fully searchable online platform. As new ordinances are adopted, they will be placed online periodically.

This was adopted by the board unanimously, 4-0.

Next, the General Manager presented a status update on options relating to outdoor water conservation programs.

The recommendation was to revise the 2015 Irrigation Rebate program and place $30,000 for the program in the 2021-22 fiscal year proposed budget. The highest priority item related to a landscape retrofit to build concept, which was described in a November 2020 staff report as the ability to implement a landscape retrofit program to allow developers to reduce landscape water usage (such as by turf removal) on property owned by others in exchange for water service for a new use.

Director Navid Fardanesh addressed the possibility of exploring a rebate offered to community members who don’t use water softeners, as these systems are putting excess salt into the sewer system. Director Geoff English moved to approve staff recommendations on the water conservation program with the addition of investigating a potential water softener rebate program. Director Peterson seconded the motion, and the motion passed 4-0.

Lastly, the General Manager’s report addressed the following three items: Report on the closed session meeting that approved a no-cost lease with Nightmare on Main Street in which the latter is utilizing district property for storage in exchange for weed abatement on the property.

The approval of a 1.6 percent CPI adjustment to Mid State Solid Waste service charges that will be effective Apr. 1.

The planned vacation of General Manager Jeff Briltz from Mar. 29 to Apr. 1.

The full agenda from the meeting can be found online (templetoncsd. org/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/ Agenda/_03162021-504?html=true), and the next meeting is set for Apr. 6.

PASO ROBLES — The Cancer Support Community – CA Central Coast (CSC-CCC) has rolled with the punches throughout the pandemic and are moving forward with plans to host their 13th Annual Tour of Paso.

On Sunday, May 2, riders of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced, have their choice of two routes – 26 and 50 miles – through the scenic Paso Robles wine country region, all starting and ending from the parking lot of the Omkar Building located at 1310 Las Tablas Road in Templeton.

Proceeds from the bike ride directly benefit local cancer patients, survivors, and their families from all over San Luis Obispo County. The programs at CSC-CCC, a non-profit organization, offers social and emotional support along with health and wellness programs free of charge to those affected by cancer.

“This is one of our major events of the year specifically geared towards raising money to help cancer patients and their families with the social and emotional impacts of a cancer diagnosis,” said CSC-CCC Development Director Candice Sanders. “The ride helps us continue our programming throughout the year and provide all of our services free of charge. ‘Community is Stronger than Cancer’ is one of our mottos, and all of the proceeds from this ride and all of our fundraising events stay in San Luis Obispo county in order to help locals in our community.”

Sanders continued, “We are looking forward to getting out there to ride this May, and extra precautions will be in place. There will be staggered start times, and Niner Wine Estates will be providing a packed gourmet lunch to-go in an attempt to minimize group gatherings and ensure the safety of the riders, volunteers, and staff.”

In his seventh year as chairman of the Tour of Paso and CSC-CCC board member Mike Milby of Paso Bike Tours makes it easy for those that may not own a bike to participate in the Tour of Paso. Milby offers free rentals for the first 20 riders requesting a bike, “this is my way of supporting Cancer Support Community and giving everyone a chance to participate,” Milby explained.

To reserve a bike, call (805)440-5085.

“We will be hosting two training rides this year, one on Sunday, Mar. 28, and another on Apr. 11 at The Backyard on Thirteenth (1300 Railroad Street, Paso Robles). Both training rides start at 9 a.m., and all are welcome to join in this 20-mile ride, or you can meet up with some friends at The Backyard and learn about the important programs Cancer Support Community offers,” Milby said.

To register for the ride, visit tourofpaso.org.

Registration is $75, and a minimum of $200 fundraising is required. The committee explains that you can ask 20 friends to donate $10 each once that goal has been met; riders are encouraged to raise more which qualifies them for various prizes donated by local businesses.

Those unable to ride take advantage of the opportunity to participate as a “virtual rider,” raise funds, and receive a Tour of Paso commemorative t-shirt and lunch. Official event jerseys are available and great for riders and non-riders alike. You can purchase them directly through Voler’s site at voler.com/custom/ordering/li/38025.

“It is not too late to sponsor this event or get a team together. Various levels will receive merchandise such as t-shirts and complimentary rider registration, as well as name recognition, logo placement, and more,” Sanders said.

Some of this year’s sponsors include Niner Wine Estates, The Beckett Family, Caliza Winery, Booker Wines, Power & Communications Engineering, Boo Boo Records, Zenaida Cellars, Dr. David Lacey, and J Dusi Wines.

Several local businesses and sponsors have also formed teams, including Paso Bike Tours, Peachy Canyon Winery, Thom Schulz in honor of Laura Coats, and the defending champions, Team SlabTown Rollers, out of Cambria.

“A fun challenge has been issued to all SLO County businesses and cyclists to form teams in a cooperative effort to help raise funds for this great cause,” Milby said.

If you would like to explore sponsorship opportunities, volunteer or get more involved with Cancer Support Community – CA Central Coast, please contact them at events@cscslo.org or call (805)238-4411.

LOCAL NEWS COVID-19 UPDATE

SLO County Vaccine Task Force Expand Eligibility

CDPH Announces graduation and commencement ceremony organizers can begin to plan for events STAFF REPORT

SAN LUIS OBISPO — On Wednesday, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) released the most recent statistics on COVID-19, including updated data and tiers for reducing COVID-19 in the state under the Blueprint for a Safer Economy.

Eleven counties moved to a less restrictive tier, from Purple (widespread) to Red (substantial): Lake, Monterey, Riverside, Sacramento, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Sutter, Tehama, Tulare, and Ventura.

One county, San Mateo, moved from Red (substantial) to Orange (moderate). No counties moved to a more restrictive tier.

Eleven counties remain in the Purple (widespread) tier, 42 in the Red (substantial) tier, which is where San Luis Obispo remains this week, and four in the Orange (moderate) tier, and one is in the Yellow (minimal) tier.

In preparation for the end of the school year, CDPH announced that graduation and commencement ceremony organizers can begin to plan for events following the Outdoor Live Events with Assigned Seats and Controlled Mixing guidelines, which take

effect on Apr. 1. More detailed guidance is forthcoming.

CDPH released an updated Youth and Adult Recreational Sports Questions & Answers on Tuesday to help athletes, parents, and sports organizations understand the state’s guidance that went into effect on Feb. 26.

As of Mar. 17, providers have reported administering a total of 13,037,557 vaccine doses statewide.

The CDC reports that 16,813,070 doses have been delivered to entities within the state. Numbers do not represent true day-to-day change as reporting may be delayed. For more vaccination data, visit the COVID19 Vaccine Data Dashboard.

40,000 San Luis Obispo County residents can now get the COVID19 vaccine, as the County expanded vaccine eligibility at the recommendation of the SLO County Vaccine Task Force.

Last week the County announced that workers in the Education and Childcare, Food and Agriculture, and Emergency Services sectors are now eligible, along with those with certain high-risk medical conditions or disabilities and caregivers providing in-home care to elderly or medically vulnerable residents.

“We are thrilled to now offer vaccines to these vulnerable residents who have waited patiently for their turn,” said Dr. Penny Borenstein, County Health Officer. “This is an important milestone for our community. I encourage everyone

who is eligible to get vaccinated as soon as they can to protect yourself and help end the pandemic.”

The County has enough vaccine supply to administer 5,500 firstdoses this week at one of the County’s vaccines clinics in Arroyo Grande, Paso Robles, and San Luis Obispo. Eligible community members can sign up for their first dose through County’s Vaccine Appointment Registry and, as appointments become available, will be matched with an appointment.

Eligible community members can also check with other local vaccine providers for appointments.

SLO County residents who are eligible based on their work will be asked to bring a form of identification and a recent pay stub to verify employment in their sector. Those who are eligible because they are medically vulnerable will be asked to self-attest to their specific highrisk medical condition or disability. The California Department of Public Health has identified these conditions based on the risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19.

“As a County, we have been able to expand eligibility gradually based on risk,” said Dr. Borenstein. “I thank our local task force for their guidance as we continue to move forward so that our most vulnerable community members can get the vaccine.”

San Luis Obispo County opened applications for CA COVID-19 Rent Relief Program on Tuesday, Mar. 16. According to the County, the program clears some accumulated rental debt, keeps the hardest-hit families in their homes, and will lead to a more equitable economic recovery.

The State program is for those who have experienced a financial hardship due to COVID-19, have past due rent or utilities, and have a household income at or less than $58,800 (which is 80 percent of the area median household income).

“Many renters and landlords are struggling right now,” said Lynn Compton, Chair of the San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors. “This program provides much-needed relief to help people pay their bills and make ends meet.”

Landlords who participate in the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief program can get reimbursed for 80 percent of an eligible renter’s unpaid rent between Apr. 1, 2020, and Mar. 31, if they agree to waive the remaining 20 percent of unpaid rent.

Eligible renters whose landlords do not participate in the program may apply on their own and receive 25 percent of unpaid rent between Apr. 1, 2020, and Mar. 31. Paying this 25 percent by Jun. 30 can help keep tenants in their homes under the extended eviction protections in SB 91.

Eligible tenants can also receive future rent assistance equal to 25 percent of their monthly rent, as well as help paying future utility bills. Applicants will not be asked about their citizenship, nor will they be required to show proof of citizenship.

Tenants and landlords can determine eligibility and apply for funds by visiting RecoverSLO.org/RentRelief.

A CA COVID-19 Rent Relief call center has also been set up for eligibility questions or for application assistance and is available at (833)430-2122, 7 days a week, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

According to reports, San Luis Obispo County could move into the Orange Tier as soon as next week if the case rates do not increase.

PRIMARY SUSPECT

SAN LUIS OBISPO — On Monday, Mar. 16, San Luis Obispo County Sheriff served a search warrant at the Arroyo Grande home of Ruben Flores, father of Paul Flores.

Paul Flores was last seen with missing Cal Poly student Kristin Smart in May of 1996 and has been a person of interest over the years. According to the San Luis County Sheriff, Paul is now the primary suspect.

It has been suspected that Smart’s body may be buried at one of the parents’ homes in Arroyo Grande. Susan Flores, Paul’s mother, lives on East Branch Street just a few miles from Paul Flores’s house, where the search warrant was served on Monday.

This search comes almost a year after four search warrants were served in February 2020, just before the pandemic.

The warrants were for specific items of evidence inside four separate locations in California and Washington.

The two locations in San Luis Obispo County were Susan Flores home on East Branch Street and Ruben Flores home on White Court, both in Arroyo Grande.

The other location in California was at Paul Flores’ residence in San Pedro, and the fourth location at the sister’s home in Washington State.

The search warrants were limited in scope and sealed by the court. As a result, no further details were released.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted a coordinated search along with the Sheriff ’s Department; however, they have not been seen during the current investigation.

Tuesday, day two, at the father’s home, after a full day of working with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) experts and two cadaver dogs, Sheriff Ian Parkinson was overseeing the search.

It was reported that Ruben Flores was not allowed at the home during the search and is currently with his wife Susan Flores at her East Branch Street home, where she lives with her boyfriend.

Set up in the backyard early Tuesday, close to the deck with lattice running along the edge, were two blue “pop-up” tents. Shovels and orange buckets were among the tools at the scene as well.

CRIME

Atascadero Bookkeeper Joy Wilde Sentenced for Embezzlement STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — San Luis Obispo District Attorney Dan Dow announced on Tuesday, Mar. 16, that Joy Wilde (42) has been sentenced to serve ten years and four months in state prison following her plea of no-contest to 18 counts of embezzlement, two counts of forgery and one count of attempted embezzlement of a local construction company.

Wilde pleaded no-contest on Feb. 18 to every charge alleged against her, including an allegation that she stole over $500,000. The admission to stealing more than $500,000 requires Wilde to serve her sentence in state prison, as opposed to county jail.

The investigation, which was completed by the Major Fraud Unit of the District Attorney’s Office Bureau of Investigation, revealed that over the course of more than three years, Wilde stole $877,123 from her former employer, Greg Wiemann Construction while working as a bookkeeper and office manager. The theft scheme involved Wilde passing 64 fraudulent checks and attempting to pass three others.

In addressing the unusually long prison sentence for an embezzlement case, Superior Court Judge Jesse Marino highlighted the “outrageously large amount of money” taken by Wilde and concluded that the decade-long prison sentence was warranted “due to its sheer volume.”

The victim, Greg Wiemann, was

JOY WILDE

present at sentencing and recounted the significant impact of Wilde’s theft in a letter to the court. Judge Marino recognized that Wiemann had placed a great deal of trust in Wilde and that Wilde’s deceit was “the most difficult aspect of this case” for the victim.

“Embezzlement crimes are significant at several levels,” said District Attorney Dan Dow. “In addition to the financial devastation that large-scale thefts can wreak on a business, is the very personal impact realized when a long-term employee in a position of confidence violates that trust. It frequently happens at the hands of someone you have come to know, trust, and with whom you have developed a strong relationship. This office takes these cases seriously and will continue to prosecute them aggressively.”

The case was investigated by the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s Office and District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Michael S. Frye of the Major Fraud Unit.

During Monday’s search, a Volkswagen Cabriolet last registered in 2010, reported to be registered to Paul’s parents, Ruben and Susan Flores, was taken from the property by the Sheriff after one of the cadaver dogs alerted to the driver’s side door.

According to reports, the Cabriolet was of interest to the parents of Kristin Smart in 1996 and was never looked at.

Later reports came out that the Flores’ daughter drove the car over a decade ago, and Susan Flores was going to restore it one day.

At 1:51 p.m., the Sheriff ’s department started removing the caution tape along with the blue pop-ups.

The forensic team packed up, and at 2 p.m., the Sheriff released a statement that the Smart Investigation Search Warrant has concluded at the home of Ruben Flores in Arroyo Grande and as with any active investigation, they will not be commenting on what, if any, evidence has been discovered.

CONVICTION

Human Trafficking Trial Ends with Unanimous Guilty Verdict STAFF REPORT SAN LUIS OBISPO — On Monday, Mar. 15, District Attorney Dan Dow announced that a San Luis Obispo County jury has returned a unanimous guilty verdict convicting Lucion Lee Edward Banks (37) of human trafficking a 14-yearold female victim in 2018.

According to Dow, after pulling Banks over during a traffic stop on Oct. 5, 2018, it became clear to San Luis Obispo Police Department Officer Quenten Rouse that Banks was involved in the trafficking of a 14-year-old girl for commercial sexual exploitation and that he did so by using force, fear, fraud, deceit, coercion, violence, duress, menace, or threat of unlawful injury.

Following volumes of evidence and testimony during the 12-day jury trial, the San Luis Obispo County Jury returned a guilty verdict after several hours of deliberation.

The trafficking survivor Jane Doe said she was very pleased with the jury verdict: “I am happy for myself, and I feel successful.” We are pleased to report that Ms. Doe is doing very well in school and plans to be a beautician in the future.

“Ms. Doe’s bravery and resilience demonstrated strength and grace as she testified during this trial,” said Deputy District Attorney Christopher B. White. “I am deeply grateful that so many wonderful people worked so hard to bring justice for our juvenile trafficking survivor.”

The Honorable Judge Barry T. LaBarbera presided over the jury trial. Mr. Banks remains in custody at the County Jail

with bail set at $1 million. He is due back in Court on Apr. 9, for sentencing. The charge and enhancement carry a maximum sentence of 15-years-to-life in state prison.

“We are grateful for the jury that came in to serve during this pandemic,” said District Attorney Dan Dow. “This just verdict was a result of a lot of hard work and collaboration of our San Luis Obispo County Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force that we started in late 2014.”

In addition to local law enforcement witnesses, an expert witness from the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, Inspector Tim Bergquist, testified on the subject of human trafficking, explaining the dynamics and sub-culture of human trafficking to the jury. Alameda County District Attorney Nancy E. O’Malley has been a California statewide leader on combating trafficking and created HEAT Watch several years ago.

The District Attorney’s Office gives recognition and thanks to our partners who assisted in this case over the past two years: San Luis Obispo Police Department, San Luis Obispo County Department of Social Services, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), Family Care Network, Alameda County District Attorney’s Office Inspector Division, San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Bureau of Investigation, Christopher G. Money Victim Witness Assistance Center, and our Child Abuse Interview Team (CAIT).

Bill was in the oilfield business, and it was during this time that the family lived in various cities all over California, including San Ardo, Coalinga, Avenal, Santa Paula, San Leandro, Chula Vista, Bakersfield, and Oildale, often only staying one day, then moving on to the next field, but her beloved Paso Robles was always home.

She enjoyed water skiing (even in the canals in the San Joaquin Valley behind a car), fishing and camping, a great bowler, a left-handed softball player, played dominoes, pinochle, was hard to beat in a canasta game and played a mean game of Yahtzee and Triopoly.

She was a member of the Northside Church of Christ in Atascadero and a charter member of the VFW Auxiliary 10965, where she was a past president. She was always willing to go the extra mile to help people.

Mary loved and adored her family, as they did her in return. She was our rock, and her strength will carry us on by generations to come. She’ll be deeply missed by all.

She is survived by daughters Belinda (Dave) Falaschi, Gwen (Greig) Welch, granddaughters Deanna (Kelly) Pryor, Kimberly ( John) Roady, Andrea (Chris) Nardella, Kelly (Eric) Mowreader, Jaime (Daniel) Schaetz, Dan Long, great-grandchildren Jorden (Tori) Welch, Grace Roady, Taylor King, Vanessa Mowreader, Devin Mowreader, Hayden Roady, and great-great-granddaughter Raileigh Welch, sister-in-law Betty Meeks, and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents John and Zora Meeks, siblings Gene, Johnna, Margie, Kenneth, and Bill, her son James ( June 2012), and her husband Bill (December 2012).

Due to COVID, a private burial will be held at Paso Robles Cemetery.

How Recalling California Gov. Gavin Newsom Became My Business

AARON BERGH COMMENTARY

W

hat do politics and sex have in common? They’re the two subjects you’re not supposed to talk about in a professional setting. This strong conviction led me to maintain my business’s apolitical and nonpartisan stance from its founding. My business’s nonpartisanship will continue, but I cannot afford to be apolitical anymore. If California small business owners want to survive, it is imperative that we get involved - specifically, in supporting the recall of Governor Gavin Newsom.

Too much time is spent talking about relatively petty

reasons to dislike Gavin Newsom – such as his infamous soiree at the French Laundry or his inability to relate with the average Californian because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. There are many substantive reasons why Californians on both sides of the political aisle should reject Gavin Newsom’s governorship.

Therefore, I feel confident publicly supporting the recall and want to encourage other business owners to mobilize too.

Newsom’s political operatives know there is a valid case against the governor, which is why they are trying to discredit the recall effort as hyper-partisan.

Admittedly, there have been previous hyper-partisan recall attempts since he took office. I did not support those recalls, but I believe the current one transcends partisanship. Based on my first-hand experience collecting signatures, I can attest that both Republicans and Democrats are signing on. A broader cross-section of Californians recognize that the increasing magnitude of

Newsom’s failures can’t wait to be judged for another two years. It necessitates an urgent re-evaluation of his leadership.

For me, the nearly yearlong business closures are Governor Newsom’s most damning error.

I’ve had to lay off employees and struggle to balance my books due to poorly-planned, whimsical executive orders.

According to the California Restaurant Association, restaurants employed 1.4 million Californians before the pandemic, and 30 percent are expected to close permanently. Data from Yelp is even more grim, suggesting that 60 percent of pandemic business closures nationwide will be permanent. But Governor Newsom has ignored the desperate pleas of business owners who are struggling to pay their employees and avoid losing the businesses they have built through years of hard work.

Even if you disagree that the business lockdowns should be less restrictive, there is a long list of additional examples of Newsom’s ineptitude.

Amid the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression, laid-off employees cannot obtain unemployment insurance benefits in a timely manner from the state’s grossly dysfunctional Employment Development Department – aid from funds they paid into for years through their payroll taxes and were relying on to put food on the table for their families. Adding salt to the wound, the EDD has paid as much as $30 billion in fraudulent claims to incarcerated criminals and out-of-state residents – perhaps the largest welfare fraud in California’s history occurred right under Newsom’s nose.

Despite having some of the highest tax rates in the nation, California continues to suffer from the nation’s highest poverty rate in the country and rising homelessness.

And while Newsom signed a law requiring a switch to electric vehicles by 2035, his administration can’t provide electricity to keep the lights on in our houses.

The return of rolling blackouts is

oddly reminiscent of the Governor Gray Davis years (he was recalled in 2003).

When Governor Newsom shut down my business, he created a void in my life. I decided to fill it by working to ensure that he will no longer have a destructive impact on my life and the lives of Californians.

I hope even more businesses will use their new-found free time to further the recall effort, and I implore the rest of California to join them.

Many of my customers complain about the prohibition preventing me from serving them a hot plate of food and a cocktail.

When they do, I serve them a clipboard with a recall petition – and almost all of them sign it.

Financial Literacy is a Gift That Lasts a Lifetime

SARAH SANTANA

COMMENTARY

inancial tradeoffs, interest rates, and the importance of having an emergency fund: Our current economic circumstances are full of teachable moments we can and should share with our children. After all, they’re probably not learning these topics in school. Only 1 in 6 students will be required to take a personal finance course before earning a high school diploma, according to nonprofit Next Gen Personal Finance.

That’s why we’re equipping you with money tips and topics to discuss with the children in your life, plus independent study materials (ahem, videos and games) that will hold kids’ atten-

tion while teaching them money management. Keep reading to get to the head of the class.

Being in charge of the budget Are your children constantly asking you for money? One Florida father found a way to nip that in the bud: He had his teen and preteen sign a contract stating what expenses he would pay for, then gave them a set amount of money to spend each month for clothing, cellphone bill, and extras. “My son’s hard lesson came when his friend pushed him into a pool along with his cellphone. … He learned why it’s important to build a reserve for unexpected expenses,” the father said. Giving your kids a paycheck allows them the chance to make financial decisions – and experience the consequences firsthand.

The economics of higher ed We’ve all asked a kid, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Instead, ask what their interests are and help them explore how they might be applied in a future career.

This teaches them adaptability, something of value in a changing

economic landscape.

As they get closer to making a decision about whether to attend college or trade school, help them think through the costs and benefits. Junior Achievement’s Access Your Future app can help them crunch the numbers. And if you have a child already attending college, know that timing is everything.

Yale researchers have found that graduating from college in a bad economy has a lasting negative impact on wages – and many students are considering gap years and grad school because of this.

The roots of retirement Raise your hand if you want to raise a child who will hit the ground running when it comes to saving for retirement. Personal finance experts say we should let our children know that retirement is the biggest expense they’ll ever save for, and it’s important to start early. To help them understand the value of compounding, help them open a savings account (or guardian-type brokerage account)

where they can experience the power of this phenomenon for themselves.

Extra credit knowledge When you’re young and don’t have much money, it’s easy to rely too much on credit and jeopardize your financial future. Help your child understand the importance of a good credit score, and explain how you keep yours up. Share stories about how you financed your first car or house, and explain in concrete terms how the interest rate affected the overall purchase price. Finally, consider adding your teen as an authorized user on your credit card and teaching them how to read a statement and pay the balance in full each month.

In giving your child the gift of financial literacy, you’re helping set them up for a brighter future.

Through a purposeful approach, we can all do our part to raise the next generation of resourceful citizens.

Homeschool resources For teens: • Search ngpf.org/arcade for

web-based games like “Money Magic,” “Payback,” “Stax” and “Credit Clash” • For younger kids: • Schoolhouse Rock! vintage videos like “Budget” and “Dollars and Sense” • Cha-chingusa.org offers Money Smart Kids videos like “Do it Passionately” and “Saving for Success” Next steps • Have family or friends share stories of how they thrived during a recession or found creative ways to stretch a budget.

• Consider helping your child get started with investing; keeping in mind their investments will change calculations for college aid.

• Introduce your family members – even the younger ones – to your advisor, who can act as a teacher’s aide for financial literacy.

A Note About Our

Another factor was the refusal of Texas to link its grid to the national system, preventing the import of power from warmer climes.

Only El Paso, tied to the New Mexico grid, experienced no blackouts.

Yes, windmills were not winterized, but neither were much larger fossil fuel plants, whose failures caused the blackout. Unless the regulatory system changes to require preparation for inevitable storms, Texans should get used to freezing in the dark.

Debate about the optimum mix of wind, solar, hydro, nuclear, and fossil fuel-generated electricity is ongoing.

Spreading misinformation does not aid that process.

Blaming windmills for political failure generates no heat.

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.)

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.

COLUMNIST

owboys have always had their own vocabulary. It's almost as if they are talking in code so that only another cowboy can understand what they're saying. For example, the cook on a cowboy crew is a pot rustler, coosie, or cookie, the chuckwagon where he prepares the grub is his crumb castle, and when he rings his dinner bell, cowboys put on the nosebag. To determine just how well you speak cowboy, here is a little multiple-choice test to find out if you're a real cowboy or one of the drugstore persuasion.

(Answers are at the end.)

1. "Boggy top" is a) pine

nuts with goat cheese, b) portobello mushrooms on a buckwheat roll with balsamic vinegar dressing, c) cod tacos with mutton enchiladas, d) pie with no crust.

4. "Cackleberries" are a) eggs, b) cowcumbers (pickles), c) peanut M & M's, d) raisins.

5. "Cow salve" is a) double espresso, half-decaf with mocha, b) guacamole c) butter, d) vente almond frappuccino with a hint of cinnamon.

6. "Saddle horn" is a) biscuits hard enough to break the teeth on a rat, b) Fig

Newtons®, c) arugula salad with saddle soap dressing, d) cooked carrots in beet sauce.

7. "Chuckwagon chicken" is a) haggis b) pheasant under glass, c) salt pork dipped in flour and fried, d) barbecued prairie chicken.

9. "Splatterdabs" are a) fish sticks with chutney, b) pork and beans, c) fried mozzarella cheese balls, d) pancakes.

10. "Lick" is a) molasses, b) an ice cream cone, c) peppermint candy, d) watermelon infused with vodka.

As you receive divine inspiration, thank the Universe for the revelation of its radiant magnificence as you. Brand new and beyond what you could have possibly imagined with your current thinking.

Theoretical physicist, Albert Einstein, observed: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Similarly, suppose we are to be made new and experience lasting spiritual transformation in our lives.

In that case, let us remain open to Spirit's highest idea of itself as us - something new, beyond what we currently know.

Brittany App Debuts Her First Film:

‘Where There Once Was Water’

By Camille DeVaul

L

ocal photographer Brittany App debuted her first film, “Where There Once Was Water,” on the San Luis Obispo Film Festival’s final day, Mar. 14.

App directed and produced the film, which took five years to complete.

“The day that kicked it off, I was sitting on my porch, and I looked across the street, and my neighbor was power washing his boat in his driveway, and it just made me crazy. And so I thought I need to do something as a creative person to bring a bit more attention to the issue because some of us are just not understanding what drought means,” said App. App calls herself an accidental water advocate. After traveling the world in 2008 and seeing the lack of access to clean water, App knew she had a calling to help the water crisis.

In 2010, App raised money for WaterAid, an international non-profit providing access to clean water and sanitation globally, by bicycling across the United States, raising $15,000.

Initially, App set out to document the effects of the drought throughout the state with photos. App realized there was so much more to the topic than she could cover with just photos, so she decided to create a film.

In 2014, App raised funds for her film by placing the campaign on a Kickstarter page. The film has been funded entirely by donations. App reports she hasn’t made a penny from the film since its start.

App traveled around California and the Southwest, some of the driest places in the country. As a result, App has become active in the non-profit DigDeep, an organization working to bring running water to Navajo Nation families.

Over 1.7 million people in the United States are still living without access to clean running water.

In the film, App works with Indigenous communities, including Kandi White, native energy and climate campaign organizer.

App’s eye-opening film showed viewers the effects of drought, lack of water access, water pollution and then showed ways we can fight the crisis.

Jason Haas, a partner and general manager of Tablas Creek Winery, was featured in the film as an example of water-conscious practices.

From the Tablas Creek website, “We believe in the potential for regenerative agriculture to make a meaningful contribution to solving the world’s most pressing climate and resource challenges. To that end, we are proud to have become the United States’ first Regenerative Organic Certified™ vineyard in 2020.”

Tablas Creek, located at 9339 Adelaida Road in Paso Robles, is a primarily dry-farmed vineyard and uses similar practices in the South of France.

According to Haas, grapes can be dry-farmed if they are set up to do so at an early age. At Tablas Creek, new vines are irrigated for about the first two years, and then they are dry-farmed.

From the Tablas Creek website, “We believe strongly in wines of terroir -- the French term best translated as “somewhereness” -- and choose our vineyard and winemaking practices to maximize our chances of expressing our terroir in our wines. Our goal is to produce wines with a true reflection of their varietal character, of the place where they were grown, and of the vintage that they came from.”

In addition to being water conscious, Tablas Creek practices

biodynamic farming.

“We began farming the vineyard Biodynamically in 2010 and have incorporated a mixed grazing herd of sheep, alpacas, and donkeys into the vineyard since 2012. Our other Biodynamic practices include our extensive composting program; interplanting fruit trees among the vines, leaving sections of native vegetation, and planting insect-friendly flowering plants to attract and support a healthy mix of insects; building owl boxes to control rodent pests naturally; and keeping our own hives of bees. We received our Biodynamic® certification in 2017.”

App decided she wanted to challenge herself during the film.

“I challenged my assumptions and was very happy for it, and it’s a very scalable solution to the problems we face,” said App. Going into the film, App was convinced cows were an enemy to water.

“I went into this with the assumption, and it’s a pretty common assumption because it’s an unfortunate assumption these days is that all cows are bad and eating beef is bad--I forced myself to challenge that assumption because I thought nature designed animals and plants to support each other,” said App. After meeting with a holistically managed ranch in Northern California, App says she was amazed, “The biggest surprise for me is that it turns out that cows can actually be a champion for restoring water cycles--it’s not that the cows are good or bad it’s our management.”

App has been a photographer on the Central Coast for 20 years, growing up in Morro Bay and now living in Carrizo Plains.

Since App began her photography business, she has been a photographer for the Mid-State Fair and says she has always loved the agricultural space.

App closed escrow on her Carrizo Plain’s off-grid cabin in March of 2020. Five days later, California went into its first lockdown for COVID. What great timing!

Due to COVID, App had to cancel and postpone almost all of her photography jobs. But there is a silver lining in every cloud.

Being forced to stay home, App was able to finish her film and passion project finally.

The film was featured on the closing night of the SLO Film Fest, Mar. 14, which a panel hosted by Pepper Daniels followed, all held virtually and through Zoom.

From her film, App hopes, “people feel empowered and that there is a way that they can get involved regardless of how big or small or how random or common it feels. I hope that people find a way in their own life where they can be a voice for the water.”

App added she wants people to “Develop a personal relationship with water and to find a way where they can speak up for our water by changing one small piece of their life.”

From App’s director’s statement on the film’s website, “Through research, curiosity, and love, I have attempted, with this film, to be in service to the water that gives us life.

To tell the story that connects us all... the story of water. Time is short. The climate has changed. Water is sacred. We must find a new way. We must write a new story. And we must write it together. The choice point has arrived.”

FROM PAGE ONE CITY COUNCIL CONTINUED FROM A1

sion voted to recommend to City Council to extend the parking program to 7 days per week (rather than 5) from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. (rather than 6 p.m.) and to create Parking Coordinator and Parking Ambassador job classifications and hire the necessary number of Parking Ambassadors to cover the parking schedule.”

“On Mar. 3, the Downtown Parking Advisory Commission recommended extending the Senior Permit Pilot Program to an annual program available to all seniors 65 years of age and older at the cost of $30 per year, and ensuring ample communication about the program.”

Many seniors called in with a concern over the high $30 senior permit fee.

It seemed all council members were concerned with the cost as well.

“I think there are better ways to do this, and I think $30 is too much,” said Fred Strong, who also mentioned that he only pays $5 per year for a Downtown San Luis Obispo senior permit.

Mayor Martin made his suggestion, “I propose that we simply give all seniors free parking passes. I don’t think charging them $5 a year is going to cover the cost of those parking passes, so I say give the seniors over 65 parking passes.”

In the end, the Council voted 4-1, Mayor Martin in opposition, for the following recommendations and adjustments: Take the following actions based on the recommendations of staff and the Downtown Parking Advisory Commission: • Reclassify the current Technician II to Supervisor/Professional/Coordinator I and add three part-time Staff Assistant III positions to adequately cover the parking schedule.

• Extend the parking program to operate seven days per week, Monday –

SUPERVISORS CONTINUED FROM A1

There are five primary uses for these funds: addressing negative economic impacts, providing premium pay to workers; provide government services affected by revenue reduction, make investments in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure; and cannot be used for pensions or offset revenues created by a tax cut.

Supervisor John Peschong offered himself and Supervisor Bruce Gibson to participate in an ad-hoc committee to address the disbursement of the funds. Not all supervisors agreed with this method, with Chairperson Lynn Compton expressing interest in all supervisors being involved in the process so that each district can be equally involved. The motion was made for an ad-hoc committee to listen and discuss options for the disbursement of the funds to be brought before the Board for review.

The vote was passed 3-2, with Supervisors Arnold and Compton opposed.

After hearing public comment regarding a programmatic EIR on cannabis, Supervisor Peschong made a motion to bring that item up for discussion at the next meeting that is set to discuss cannabis issues, seconded by Ortiz-Legg. It was voted 4-1, with Chairperson Compton against it.

Moving on to item 40, the nomination of at least one member to potentially serve as the threecounty regional representative to the California Coastal Commis-

Sunday from 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. on each day of operation, and extend the Senior Permit Pilot Program to an annual program available to all seniors 65 years of age and older at the cost of $30 per year.

Council agreed to drop the Senior Permit fee to $5 per year, rather than the suggested $30 per year.

• Enter a contract renewal with Dixon Resources Unlimited to provide on-call support services in the amount not to exceed $40,000 for a 12-month term. Council suggested to take the contract renewal back to Dixon resources for renegotiation for a lower cost. Council did originally suggest the contract not to exceed $20,000.

Council also requested staff bring back a proposal within 60 days for an exclusive locals parking program. A program proposal will be brought to the parking commission before bringing it to the Council for approval.

The Council received a Downtown Parklet Program update and discussed possible extensions on the program.

Mayor Martin made a motion to “Direct staff to return with a Resolution to Extend the Temporary Outdoor Dining Program to Nov. 1.” Motion passed 4-0. Councilman Gregory recused himself from the discussion.

There was a discussion on whether the City should purchase the K-Rails, which are used for borders on the parklets, rather than continue to rent them.

Staff will return to Council with an updated renting versus buying K-Rails report to determine the more most effective option. If renting the K-rails is the decided option, the rental agreement will end on the agreed Nov. 1. The motion passed 4-0, with Gregory recused.

Council requested staff to “Return with formal policies and standards for fenced Downtown Sidewalk Cafes.”

This will include public outreach to residents and Downtown Paso stakeholders,

sion. Supervisor Compton made a motion to approve Megan Harmon, which was passed 4-1, with Supervisor Gibson in opposition.

Nick Franco presented the request to designate Cave Landing as part of the county park system, fill the parking lot, and add staff to manage the park. Supervisor Ortiz-Legg made a motion to move forward with staff recommendation (which can be found in full here: agenda.slocounty. ca.gov/iip/sanluisobispo/file/ getfile/131012), which was seconded by Supervisor Peschong.

The motion was passed 5-0.

Tony Navarro, the city planner, presented a hearing to consider adopting a resolution approving and authorizing submittal of a substantial amendment to the Urban County of San Luis Obispo 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan and the 2019 Action Plan to allocate Community Development Block Grant and Emergency Solutions Grant Program Funds under the CARES Acts; and authorizing the corresponding budget adjustment in the amount of $8,034,483.

Supervisor Arnold expressed concern over the item of putting roughly $1,000,000 toward south county housing when a site has not yet been identified, rather than put the funds into the Salvation Army, which could use the financial aid immediately with a matching program. After further discussion, it was revealed that under the Emergency Solutions Grant, the funds would not be able to be redirected to the Salvation Army for immediate use. Supervisor Gibson

which includes businesses.

Councilman Hammon rescued himself from discussing the sublease and loan agreement for the Sandbox Business Success Center at 1345 Park Street.

Hammon informed the public that Hammon Overhead Doors, now owned by his son, did install overhead glass doors at the Sandbox project. Hammon recently learned that his son had not been entirely paid for the project. Because Hammon still receives income from the overhead door business, he recused himself for potential conflict of interest.

Due to COVID lockdowns, the Sandbox Business Center had to delay its opening, resulting in no income. In turn, the City has not received the originally anticipated payments of $64,600 in rent payments and $20,300 in loan payments.

The business center did not qualify for any Federal or State assistance and had no previous revenue.

From the City Council meeting highlights: “Council authorized the City Manager to execute amendments to the Loan and Sublease Agreements for 1345 Park Street, approving forgiveness of unpaid rent to date due to the pandemic, allowing reduced rent payments going forward until June 2022, deferring loan repayment until March 2022, and reducing the loan interest rate from 3 percent to 1 percent.

Council also directed both the City and Sandbox to pursue COVID relief funds in a partnership fashion to try to recoup lost revenue due to COVID. The funds utilized for the project to date are not local tax revenues; they are SB 1090 funds that the City received in preparation for the decommissioning of the Diablo power plant to use for economic development locally.”

made a motion to approve staff recommendations as presented, seconded by Supervisor OrtizLegg. The motion passed 4-1, with Supervisor Arnold in opposition.

Moving on to water issues, the Board heard from Mladen Bandov, the Senior Water Resources Engineer. On Dec. 17, 2019, the Board adopted the Paso Robles Subbasin GSP (Groundwater Sustainability Plan) and authorized the Director of Public Works to both submit the GSP to the State Department of Water Resources (DWR) by the Jan. 31, 2020 deadline and to serve as the point of contact with DWR (Plan Manager) on behalf of the GSAs in the Paso Robles Subbasin. The Board also directed staff to conduct an analysis of staffing needs and return to the Board with recommendations for Paso Robles Subbasin GSP implementation.

The Board was presented with four options that staff contemplated. The first was to not participate with the SGMA (Sustainable Groundwater Management Act), which dismissed as an undesirable result as it would put the basin in probation. The second was cutting public works existing services which was also rejected as all the programs are essential.

The two remaining options were bringing in a consultant or bring in full-time staff for county staff for the basin GSA (Groundwater Sustainability Agency) staff.

The staff recommendation based on cost analysis would be to bring in 5.25 new full-time positions who would be the county in-house staff for the GSA basin.

The proposed budget for the new

The Run 4 Bitti and Brynn Foundation has also donated towards Chico State and their athletic programs in cross country and track and field.

and we felt it was personalized even though it was virtual this year.”

As in years past, participants who registered received a swag bag complete with a personalized t-shirt, racing bib and socks, all based on something Brittni or Brynn created.

“The shirt was made from a drawing our youngest daughter Brittni had done that was of a free-range chicken in training,” Frace said. “It ended up being a perfect design for the race this year because we are all a bunch of free-range chickens in training right now.

It was a perfect design with the race this year being virtual because we were able to challenge people to go out there and choose their course.”

The run was created to keep the happy memories alive and give back to the community. The monies raised each year from the race go to the nonprofit Run 4 Bitti and Brynn Foundation, which funds scholarships for high school track and cross country athletes at Paso Robles and Atascadero High Schools. The foundation also focuses on community connectivity and providing athletic shoes for runners that need them.

This idea was met with opposition by Supervisor Arnold as she felt there was a lack of information on the cost associated with bringing on a consultant instead of hiring 5.25 full-time positions.

Supervisor Gibson, while fully supportive of the staff recommendations, looked for middle ground by proposing that the 5.25 full-time staff members be approved with a limited term of five years, which seemed to address his colleagues’ concerns. Supervi-
