For nearly 80 years, Templeton Feed & Grain has been more than a business — it has been a cornerstone of life in Templeton, a place where neighbors gather, stories are shared, and generations of farmers and pet owners rely on the family's trusted products. The company was founded in 1946 by Tom Jermin Sr., who, with his family, as a young boy, travelled from the Great Lakes area and eventually landed in Templeton.

To start, WE are local citizens in this community and area that care about the name of the Zoo and reject the decision making process and the name that was chosen. When I use the terms “They” or “City,” I am referring to the City Council and the city staff. This journey started on June 7. After being kept in the dark, citizens of Atascadero found out that the name of the Charles Paddock Zoo had been changed to the Central Coast Zoo. It was a rebranding process that had been going on for the previous 18 months, and many in Atascadero were left out of the process and a very limited survey. When the name change was announced, we were shocked by the new name and how long the process had been going on without the general public’s knowledge. Central Coast Zoo — are you joking? A name with no special local identity, no history, inconsistent, and also counterproductive financially with our local and extensive marketing plan for our unique and special city. We had not been consulted about this very important community decision, and it is our job as citizens to elect councilmembers that will advocate for us regarding problems and decisions that are made at the city level. The following is a list and a timeline of our attempts to communicate with the city:

TEMPLETON — In it’s first bid for a CIF Central Section Division IV title, the top-seeded Templeton High football team built a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of support going into its championship game on Friday, Nov. 28, at Templeton’s field.

However, it wasn’t enough for the home team as another batch of Eagles, those from second-seeded Immanuel High, came down and posted a 48-7 victory to claim the Division IV crown, and a spot in a state semifinal playoff game.

It was the first CIF section title game for THS since they were in the CIF’s Southern Section and lost to Morro Bay in the 1995 Division XI game. The Eagles were looking for their first section title since beating Hamilton High of Hemet for the Division XI title in 1992.
