NORTH COUNTY — After a full day in the appeal process Tuesday, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to approve the proposed behavioral health hospital and assisted living facility in Templeton. The appeal filed by Templeton resident Murray Powell in February requested the BOS overturn the approval of the Billig project made by the county Planning Commission on Jan. 14. The commission unanimously approved the project slated for construction on Las Tablas Road across from Twin Cities Community Hospital in Templeton. The Billig project has been in the planning process since 2010. In the appeal, supervisors, Debbie Arnold, District 5, Lynn Compton, District 4; Adam Hill, District 3; Bruce Gibson, District 2; and Frank Mecham, District 1, were restricted to reviewing the project based on project impact rather than use, due to the legal ramifications of discussing the facilities service of a disabled population. The board reviewed the County General Plan from Templeton, the Land Use Ordinance with regard to zoning, and evaluation of environmental impact, as well as public safety, impact to the Templeton Unified School District and traffic. To address all of these concerns the supervisors were given the same presentation as the Planning Commission. All applicants were present to address concerns and questions, as were many members of the Templeton community, in opposition to the project. County Behavioral Health Administrator Ann Robin said that this is a voluntary facility and spoke to the patient intake

practices of this type of a facility. She explained that Federal law stipulates that youth younger than 21 years old and seniors over the age of 64 would be admitted and covered by Medicaid and Medical. “Under Federal law all adults between ages 21 and 64 would be private pay clients as Federal precludes their coverage, with regard to mental health services,” Robin said. “They would only admit voluntary patients that are not designated as 5150’s those that are suicidal or a danger to themselves and others.” In a traffic study, Benet Way at Las Tables was identified at a level E traffic grade. D is the acceptable grade. Glenn Marshall, of County Public Works, responded to Arnold when she asked how funds would be directed to mitigate traffic. He said that the board could direct what was needed and that since Las Tablas was a county road it would be easier to facilitate upgrades to the road. “There was no other mitigation that could be implemented other than to have the project planners pay their fair share of $1.1 million in road improvement fees,” Marshall said. “There are also two other project in the area that will be paying into the same fund for about the same amounts.” The representative for the Billig project, Pamela Jardini was asked by Arnold if the Vision Health group that will be managing the facility would be entering into an agreement to mitigate any cost to the Templeton Unified School District if a student needed education service. “We have every intention of entering into an agreement with the school district to provide support if funds are needed beyond what the school is allocated, in

TEMPLETON — The Central Coast Monster Skateboarding Competition Series is wheeling over to Templeton Skate Park, April 16, with a new amateur division that will feature some skaters looking to go pro. Templeton Recreation Department recreation leader Ken Zink has been working with Templeton staff to bring new life to the Skate Park. He said that this year’s Monster Skate would be bigger and better than the last and will have Templeton Skate Park T-shirts for sale. “We are very excited to be offering, what was our adult division as the AM division this year,” Zink said “AM is also called the amateur division but these riders are anything but that they are the skaters that are on the verge of going pro or semi-pro and they can really ride. This is open to all ages they just need to be at that level of skill. Something that we added last year was the women’s division

the meat, salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 24 meat balls and place them in a 9” x 13” baking dish. In another bowl combine the remaining ingredients to make the barbecue sauce. Pour the sauce over the meat balls and bake them, covered, at 375 degrees for 1 to 1 ½ hours. Depending on our ages, many of us remember the abundance of recipes using Campbell’s canned soups and Lipton’s dry onion soup mix. I still have my favorites. However, I know there are many younger cooks who may not be aware of the advantages of using those products and the delicious outcomes. So, for those of you who are “younger” here’s a recipe for you.

Quick and easy Beef Stew Ingredients: 1 (1 ¼ ounce) package dry onion soup mix (I prefer Lipton’s) 1 (10 ¾ ounce) can cream of mushroom soup (I prefer Campbell’s) 10-11 ounces Burgundy wine (everything is better with a little wine!) 1 ½ pounds stew meat Directions: In a bowl mix together the soup mix, mushroom soup, and wine. Place the meat in a deep baking dish or electric skillet and pour the sauce over it. Bake, covered, at 350 degrees, or simmer in an electric skillet at 250 degrees, for 1 ½ hours.

It is really a great time and there are some very talented skaters at our park and we hope to see more of the Templeton skate community out this year, too.” There are six divisions: 7 and under, ages 8-10, all ages women, ages 11-13, ages 14-17 and the AM will be offered to all ages with the skill level to ride as an amateur pro. According to the Monster Skate web page, registration for the “contest” and “jam” will begin promptly at 9 a.m. All registrations for the contest will be done the day of the event. Entry to the contest is $15; entry to the jam is $5. The contest will begin at 10 a.m. and any registrations submitted after that time may not be entered into the contest. Templeton Recreation has been a part of Monster Skate since 2004 and was conceived of by Atascadero Recreation Supervisor Paula Anton in 2003. There are currently seven agencies putting it together and hosting contests — the City of Atascadero, San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay, SLO County Parks, Templeton Community Services District, SLO County YMCA (South County Skate Park) and the One Way Board Shop and

really fun to watch because they shred and catch big air and pull off some spectacular tricks, but that will never compare to the toothless grin of a 7-year-old who just landed their first trick, at a contest, in front of 150 excited spectators,” Johnson said.

particular this will pertain to special education funding needs,” Jardini said. “We plan to allocate $80,000 to this need,if necessary.” After an exhaustive review and four hours of public comment the appeal decision came back to the board. “What would have happened,” Compton said, “if those counties said we don’t want our kids in their facilities? Since when was a for-profit business bad? We don’t have the discretion to tell an applicant that the number of beds is too great.” Following statements by all of the supervisors, Mecham said, “I make a motion to deny the appeal,” This was immediately seconded by Supervisor Hill. The BOS opened the vote and unanimously approved the project that will allow the subdivision of a 4.9 acre site into two parcels of 1.46 acres and 3.44 acres and the construction of a 70,419-square foot behavioral health hospital and a 36,503-square foot assisted living facility.

Mike Gasbarra of Hole Hop Promotions thought up this event last year and now his dream has come to fruition with the support of the Rotary Club of Templeton. Gasbarra said Templeton and its park with all the huge trees inspired him. “I’m a beer lover,” he said. “So it just seemed obvious to me. Last year I attempted to host the event, but found that I needed more time to plan. This year I am working together with the great people of the Rotary Club of Templeton and we are very grateful for their support.” The Templeton Beer Festival will include beer from every corner of San Luis Obispo County and beyond and admission includes unlimited 2 oz. samples or tasters of beer, a

Gasbarra said that these pub-style foods would complement the wide variety of beers that will be served that day with some micro-brews, specialty blends and extreme beers. The extreme beers are typically extra hoppy, some contain high alcohol, and others are sour. Gasbarra said there might be barrel-aged beer and some brewed with exotic fruits or spices. “There will be some really outstanding beers at this event,” he said. “We encourage you to drink responsibly and know your limits.” Breweries that are signed up to pour so far are BarrelHouse Brewing Co., Drake’s Brewing, Kaweah Brewing Co., Libertine San Luis Wild Ales, Black Diamond Brewing Co., Central Coast Brewing Co., Firestone Walker Brewing Co., Hanger 24 Craft Brewery, Lagunitas Brewing Co., from Petaluma, Saint Archer Brewing Co., SLO Brew, Tap It Brewing Co.

TAAG seats elected members

By Allyson Oken Of Templeton Life

TEMPLETON — The Templeton Area Advisory Group seated its newest delegates and voted for officers on March 17, the first meeting following the election. The election was held March 3. Each year the League of Women voters presides over voting and counting of the ballots. This year 112 ballots were counted. The final tally saw Alice Griselle receiving 59 votes, Larry Stone with 53, Christopher Davis with 47, Sarah Maggelet with 46, Jeff DeBrish with 43, Murray Powell with 38 and Cecil Martinez with 19. Griselle, Stone, Davis and Maggelet were seated as voting members for two-year terms. DeBrish was seated as the 1st alternate and Murray Powell as the 2nd alternate and each will serve for a one-year term.

Before the vote that would place nominated delegates into office, nominating chairman Bill Pelfrey, thanked outgoing delegates Allison Carscaden, David LaRue and Sarah Marquart for their service to the community. The meeting began with two few delegates in place to vote for officers. Gwen Pelfrey directed TAAG saying that an alternate could vote in the place of delegate Maggelet, who was running late to the meeting. “As you do not have enough delegates seated here to vote or continue it is written into the bi-laws that an alternate can vote in the place of a delegate,” Gwen Pelfrey said and recommended that TAAG vote without Maggelet present. Delegate Bob Bejarano asked that they wait for Maggelet to arrive before voting expressing that it was not proper to vote for chair when one of the nominees is not present to vote

for themselves. His request went virtually unnoticed and the seven members then voted. There were six votes for Bill Pelfrey and one vote for Maggelet. Maggelet arrived just seconds after the vote for chairperson and had made members aware that she would only be a few minutes late before the event. There was an air of surprise on Maggelet’s face when she realized that the next vote would be for vicechair, having missed the first vote. The nominations for vice-chair were Maggelet and Bejarano. This round Maggelet took her place as a voting delegate and was

voted vice-chair, 7-0. Those who ran uncontested were Stone as TAAG treasurer and Davis who was the secretary. After delegates took their positions on TAAG, Maggelet introduced Matt Parker, a new intern from Arizona State who will also be taking minutes at the meetings and working with the Templeton Chamber of Commerce and other governing organizations. The next TAAG meeting will be April 21 and to see the agenda or contact TAAG, visit taaginfo.org.

The Bobcats’ third conference win came against Urbana, in a high-scoring 10398 win in which Stewart posted her sixth double-double of the 2015-16 season, with 15 rebounds to go with 16 points. The game was a horse-race throughout, with a tie game, 24-24, through the first quarter. Wesleyan lost a step in the second quarter, and trailed by 11 points, 56-45, at the half.

there was a little bit of pressure,” Stewart said. “The first free throws were off of a technical, and my coach trusted me to take them. As a kid you put those scenarios in your head — taking the free throw to win the game. There I was doing it.” The season ended on an 81-69 loss to Urbana in the MEC tournament, which knocked the Bobcats out of the playoffs. Following the regular season, Stewart was named to the MEC first team, as one of two sophomores among an All-MEC first team of seniors. Following the season, Wesleyan women’s basketball head coach Michael Bari resigned, as did his assistant coaching staff of Madison Martin and David Rogers. Bari was a big part of Stewart’s recruiting process, and the team was left shaken after his departure. “It was hard for me to see him go,” Stewart said. “He did bring me in and I thought he was a great guy. It was very emotional and very dramatic.” Without a head coach, Stewart said the team is in need of accountability and cohesion. “It was hard because it seemed like half the team was in one direction and half the team was in the other direction,” Stewart said. “We are trying to be a team and trying to get together.” Stewart is putting her second year as an exercise science major under her belt, but said she is not yet decided on where she will attend school next year. Currently, she is working with the compliance department to gain permissions to speak with a list of schools she is still compiling.
