If you’re a fan of the juiciest fruits and veggies, it’s time to head over to the farmer’s markets and load up! Grapes, berries, pears, and melons are all great to stock up on before school starts again as they make great snacks to send and to have after school. We are really lucky to have a produce drawer in our fridge and we fill it with all the fruits. Our kids know that if they want a snack, they can help themselves to anything in there. All of these fruits provide an excellent boost of vitamin C, as well, which is great when heading back to school.

Annette Rohrer Agee was born in 1955 in Chino to Louis and Pauline Rohrer. Growing up alongside her brothers — Bob, Don, and Jim — Annette was part of the second generation to live and work on the family’s dairy in the heart of the Chino Valley. Her roots ran deep; her grandfather, Balz Rohrer, had emigrated from Switzerland and helped lay the foundation for the family’s agricultural legacy. From an early age, Annette’s life was shaped by the rhythms of farm life, strong family ties, and a love for hands-on learning.
She and her brothers attended Mountain View School, a country school that her father and aunt had attended before them. They joined 4-H, where Annette enjoyed learning to bake, make crafts, and sew, entering projects in many fairs.

In the Oxford English Dictionary, "encore" is defined as both a noun and an exclamation. As a noun, it refers to an extra performance given at the end of a show, often in response to audience demand. As an exclamation, "encore" is what the audience shouts to request another performance. It can also refer to the act of demanding such a performance. When my Innovations department requested the trademark for our SLO Partners Program, it was in response to the call for an encore of the training programs, pre-apprenticeships, and apprenticeships. During July, the SLO Career and Technical Education Foundation and the San Luis Obispo County Office of Education opened the Encore Center in Paso Robles as a shared venture that strengthens economic development and student success through innovative ideas and initiatives for San Luis Obispo County.

If your phone rings and someone on the other end tells you there’s a warrant out for your arrest, I know how frightening and confusing that moment can be. The voice may sound official. The caller might know your name or even claim to be one of my deputies. And when they demand money to “clear things up,” panic can set in fast.
But let me be perfectly clear: this is a scam.

Jill C. Heilmann 1963-2025
Jill Heilmann passed away on July 26, 2025. During her time with us, she touched many lives. Though many thought her abrasive, those that knew her best saw a heart of gold.
She worked for the same employer for 40+ years, but filled other, more important roles: daughter, sister, wife, and friend. Many in the area will know her as a cowgirl, ranch hand, and master BBQ’er. She adored her father, tolerated her siblings, sparingly gave her heart, but once given, never rescinded.

TEMPLETON — The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a rise in reports of the so-called “Door Kick Challenge,” a social media trend where kids and teens kick in doors — often garage or front doors — and then run away.
Over the past weekend, multiple Templeton homes reported property damage, including broken garage doors. Deputies stress that the trend is not a harmless prank but a criminal act that can lead to charges and put residents at risk if they believe someone is trying to break in.
Parents are urged to talk to their children about the serious consequences of participating in the challenge. The Sheriff’s Office asks anyone who experiences this type of incident or has information about those involved to contact law enforcement.
