Heads up, Paso Robles neighbors: the police department will be running a DUI checkpoint on Friday, Sept. 25, from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. at an undisclosed spot in town. The exact location is kept under wraps to keep things fair and effective, but the goal is simple — catch impaired drivers before they cause harm and remind everyone to plan a safe ride home.
This comes at a time when our wine country roads see extra traffic, especially with harvest season ramping up. Whether you're heading out for a tasting or a late dinner, it's worth designating a sober driver or using a rideshare. The Paso Robles Daily News first reported the details, and it's a good reminder that these checkpoints are about keeping our community safe, not just handing out citations. So do your part — enjoy the evening, but get home safe.

Paso RoblesLocal Scouting America troops to host open house Sept. 28
If you've got a kid between 11 and 17 who's been curious about scouting, mark your calendar for Sept. 28. Paso Robles Scouting America Troops 60 and 1602 are throwing open their doors and inviting both boys and girls to come see what it's all about — no pressure, no commitment, just a chance to meet the troop and ask questions. What I love about this is how much scouting has grown here on the Central Coast. Troop 1602 is one of the newer girl-inclusive troops, and it's a reminder that the outdoors, leadership skills, and that whole "learn by doing" spirit belong to everyone. In a town where we're lucky enough to have places like Lake Nacimiento and the Santa Lucia foothills practically in our backyard, getting kids outside and building confidence feels like a natural fit. Big thanks to the Paso Robles Daily News for getting the word out. If you know a family who's been on the fence, this open house is the perfect low-stakes way to check it out. See you there.
Paso RoblesLocal youth boxing program searches for new home
Impact Boxing Outreach has been a fixture in Paso Robles for eight years, giving local kids a free place to train, burn off energy, and find mentors who actually show up. Now the program is looking for a new home, and that's a big deal for the families who've come to count on it. In a town where youth sports and after-school options often come with a price tag, this program has been the rare free lifeline — no dues, no equipment costs, just a gym and people who care. Losing that space isn't just about boxing; it's about the routine, the discipline, and the relationships built inside those walls. If you know of an available space or can help, this is one of those moments where Paso Robles can show up for its own. Thanks to Paso Robles Daily News for keeping this on our radar.
