For more than a century, the San Miguel Fire Department has proudly served its community with dedication, courage, and heart. Founded in 1887, the department remains an all-volunteer force—neighbors helping neighbors in times of need. Located at 1150 Mission Street, the San Miguel Firehouse stands as both a historic landmark and a symbol of unity in this close-knit town.

It was early autumn in 1986. There was a knock on my front door. Norma Moye was standing there with a huge smile on her face and saying, “I have an idea for a little event in our neighborhood, and I need your help. Can we talk about it?” I said “sure,” and we sat down in my front parlor and discussed her idea. That humble conversation was the beginning of the event we call the Vine Street Victorian Christmas Showcase. This year on Saturday, December 13, we will be celebrating 39 years of this extraordinary event.

We are deeply grateful to be a part of downtown Paso in our 13th holiday season at General Store PR. Our first holiday, we had no idea what to expect. We were knocked out by how many people came to Elegant Evening, underestimated by about a million yards how much ribbon we’d need, and made the wishful-but-impractical choice of wearing boots and sweaters on December 24. With a broken AC and the athleticism required for speed gift-wrapping, we nearly melted. A few days before that Christmas Eve, we ventured back to the store room, hoping to discover an emergency stash of cocoa … anything to fill the shelves. We found a stockpile of bagged woodchips, made by our candlemaker’s husband, forgotten after the summer grill season had ended. “WOODCHIPS! Today, we will be offering woodchips!” We gleefully/nervously put them on a shelf trimmed with pinecones, cranked up the Tony Bennett, and hoped for the best.

PASO ROBLES — A Paso Robles man was arrested Tuesday following a lengthy standoff stemming from reports of vandalism and a small fire at a multi-family residence on Vine Street, according to authorities.

Shortly after midnight on Dec. 9, downstairs tenants in the 1400 block of Vine Street called 9-1-1 to report that the upstairs tenant was breaking windows, yelling, and flooding the building. Responding officers identified the suspect as Michael Mogge, 55, of Paso Robles.

Officers and a crisis negotiator made repeated attempts to communicate with Mogge, but he refused. During the standoff, Mogge allegedly threw items from the upstairs windows, broke additional windows, and started a small fire on an upstairs balcony, which later burned out on its own.

Police secured the area and maintained watch into the morning hours. At approximately 9:30 a.m., Mogge resumed throwing items from the residence and continued to refuse contact with police, family members, and mental health professionals.

Detectives obtained arrest and search warrants. After chemical agents and diversionary devices failed to prompt Mogge’s surrender, officers, assisted by the Paso Robles Fire Department, entered the residence around 1 p.m. Mogge attempted to flee by jumping from the roof, injuring himself in the process, and was taken into custody.

He was treated at a local hospital before being booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail on charges of felony vandalism, arson, and resisting a police officer with violence.

PASO ROBLES — A 56-year-old Paso Robles man was arrested Thursday afternoon after brandishing a handgun during a road-rage incident, according to the Paso Robles Police Department.

The incident occurred around 1:10 p.m. on Dec. 11 near Spring and 9th streets, where the suspect reportedly displayed a handgun at another driver. Officers located the suspect’s vehicle minutes later near 13th Street and River Road and conducted a high-risk traffic stop.

Police arrested the driver, identified as Jay Alba, without incident. A ghost gun was recovered from his vehicle. No injuries were reported, and officers say there is no ongoing threat to the public.

Alba was booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail on multiple firearm-related charges, including exhibiting a firearm in the presence of motor vehicle occupants, being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, carrying a loaded firearm in public without a permit, possession of a high-capacity magazine, and possession of a firearm without a serial number.

The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact PRPD at (805) 237-6464. Anonymous tips may be provided to Crime Stoppers at 805-549-STOP or by texting “SLOTIPS” plus a message to CRIMES (274637).

One of Atascadero’s main shopping hubs, Entrada Avenue is home to an eclectic mix of unique boutique businesses in the heart of downtown. Among them, Bloke Outfitters stands out—and not just as a men’s apparel shop. It’s a confidence boost. Walk through the door and you’re met with racks of thoughtfully curated shirts, pants, and accessories that balance rugged style with everyday comfort. But the real magic happens behind the curtain, where owner Jessica Walker witnesses quiet transformations. “When a guy puts something on and steps out, you can see his shoulders go back,” she says with a smile. “That boost? That’s why I do this.” It’s almost hard to believe that this poised entrepreneur—who took the reins of Bloke in January 2024—once spent nearly two decades in the high-stakes world of corporate talent acquisition. Her journey from Bay Area boardrooms to a cozy brick-and-mortar boutique is a masterclass in reinvention and a heartfelt tribute to the power of faith.

Edward Dominic “Ed” Tedeschi 1936-2025

Edward Dominic “Ed” Tedeschi, 89, of Paso Robles, went to be with the Lord peacefully on November 17, 2025, surrounded by loved ones. He was born on June 1, 1936, in Calistoga, California, the third child of Armand and Anna Tedeschi. He attended Calistoga High School and joined the military upon graduating in 1954. He then married Nelva (Long) Tedeschi in 1958.

Ed honorably served in the United States Navy from 1954 to 1958. During his service, he learned welding skills that became the foundation of his lifelong career. He worked throughout California as a union boilermaker and pipefitter, proudly contributing to the construction of the Morro Bay ‘Stacks’ and spending much of his career at Diablo Canyon Power Plant. He also shared his craft with others, teaching welding to students at Cuesta College.

Millions of families from different religious backgrounds trust their children's education to our public schools. Employees need to be fully informed about constitutional and educational principles to understand the role of religion in public education. According to religious scholars, the phrase “separation of church and state” was originally coined by Baptists advocating for religious toleration in Virginia, where the official state religion was then Anglican (Episcopalian). Baptists believed government restrictions on religion were unjustified. James Madison and Thomas Jefferson reportedly supported their cause. During the holiday season, taxpayer-funded schools often face the “December Dilemma.” Confusion arises during this time because the issue of religious expression in public schools becomes more prominent in some situations. Questions about using religious symbols, sacred music, and specific decorations in the classroom bring the issue of “separation of church and state” to the forefront for students, parents, faculty, staff, administrators, and community members.

The holiday season has always been one of my favorite times of the year. There’s something about it that shows us what truly matters: kindness, generosity, and community. Every year, I’m reminded just how special San Luis Obispo County is when I see how our residents come together to help one another. At the Sheriff’s Office, one of the ways we share in that spirit is through a tradition that’s close to my heart, the Christmas Bicycle Giveaway.

Loretta R. Twisselman 1937-2025

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Loretta Rae Twisselman, who at age 88, peacefully left this Earth surrounded by her loving family. Loretta’s passing was on November 26, 2025, which would have been her 70th wedding anniversary.

Loretta was born on February 15, 1937, at the Clark Williams Hospital in Bishop, California. It was quite an exciting event since her mother, Florence (Aubrey) Moncus, went into premature labor amid a severe snowstorm in the mountainous village at the Cardinal Gold Mine, where Loretta’s father, Ray Moncus, worked. With the help of gold miners who made a sled for the 17-mile trek down the mountain, they then picked up and turned around an awaiting ambulance stuck in the snow. The expecting mother made it down the mountain to Bishop, where Loretta was born and quickly nicknamed “Snowball.”
