High School to honor college-bound student-athletes at signing event
Paso Robles Daily News
May 15, 2026
There’s a special kind of magic in the air this week at Paso Robles High School, and it has nothing to do with the vintage on the vines. According to the *Paso Robles Daily News*, the school will host its College Signing Day this Tuesday, May 19, at 4 p.m. in Gil Asa Gym, honoring 14 student-athletes who are taking their talents—and their hard-earned grades—to the next level. Whether they’re headed to a Division I powerhouse or a small liberal arts college, each of these kids represents the grit and heart that makes our community so proud.
What I love most about this event is that it’s not just about the big scholarship offers or the highlight reels. It’s about the early morning practices, the late study sessions, and the families who’ve cheered from the bleachers through rain and shine. Paso Robles may be known for its wine and rolling hills, but our real crop is these young people. So if you can, swing by Gil Asa on Tuesday to clap for them—it’s a reminder that in our town, we don’t just raise grapes; we raise champions.

Paso RoblesHeat advisory in effect for North County through Sunday
Looks like Paso Robles is in for a proper October scorcher. The Paso Robles Daily News reports a heat advisory is up from 10 a.m. Saturday through 8 p.m. Sunday, with triple-digit highs sticking around through midweek. If you've lived here a while, you know fall heat is nothing new — but it still catches folks off guard when the pumpkin displays start wilting. A few local reminders: shift your vineyard or ranch work to early mornings, keep an eye on pets and elderly neighbors, and don't leave anyone in a parked car. Paso Robles Library and local cooling spots are good escapes if your AC is struggling. Drink more water than you think you need. Stay cool out there, North County. Check on each other, and save the evening walks for after sundown.
Paso RoblesLocal internet provider wins $24 million state grant for rural fiber
Good news for those of us out past the city limits — Surfnet Communications just landed a $24 million state grant to run fiber internet into rural stretches of the Central Coast, bringing its total grant haul to over $55 million. If you've ever limped along on a spotty hotspot or watched a video buffer while your city friends stream without a hiccup, you know why this is a big deal. Surfnet is locally owned, which means the folks building this out actually live here and answer to neighbors, not a faraway boardroom. Reliable internet isn't a luxury anymore — it's how kids do homework, how ranchers and wineries run their operations, and how plenty of us work from home. Props to the Paso Robles Daily News for keeping tabs on this one. It'll take time to string all that fiber, but every mile gets the backroads a little more connected.
Paso RoblesJury convicts man of burglarizing Atascadero home
Heads up, neighbors — a jury here in SLO County just convicted a man for burglarizing an Atascadero home, and the details hit close to home. According to the Paso Robles Daily News, the victim actually confronted the suspect as he walked out of her house carrying her belongings. That takes serious nerve, and thankfully it led to accountability. We know North County isn't Mayberry, but this is a good reminder to lock up, watch out for each other, and call in anything odd. Atascadero and Paso are tight-knit, and that's our real advantage. Appreciate the DA's office and jurors for following through. Stay safe out there, 805.
