Editor’s note
T
he first phase of the COVID19 epidemic was a run on toilet paper. Residents rushed into stores and cleaned it off the shelves, leaving a big question in its wake: When the TP is gone, what do you wipe with? Although the supply is on the verge of making a UNFLUSHABLE comeback, toilet paper was gone but Keep those “flushable” wipes not forgotten, longed-for and held out of the toilet, because they dear, memed about and cried over. don’t break down But city officials and landlords are like toilet paper and that can be worried about what people may be bad for our sewer system. flushing in its place—unflushable, non-degradable wipes that can wreak havoc on plumbing and sewage systems. Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash talks to them about it, and what you should do to with what your wiping with [9]. You can also read about how SLO County’s rural areas are coping with coronavirus and getting the information out to people without internet access [8]; the new normal for music makers and lovers [16]; a Paso teacher who’s teaching art on YouTube [17]; and keeping that immune system boosted in the time of coronavirus [18].

SLO County boat ramps close before rockfish and salmon seasons
F
or recreational fishermen on the Central Coast, the beginning of spring usually means the start of rockfish and sport salmon fishing seasons. But this year, due to coronavirus-related safety concerns, SLO County’s usually bustling boat launch ramps are empty of hobbyist fishermen and boaters hoping for a catch. Missy Lintner and her husband run the Port San Luis SportLaunch, a heavily trafficked boat ramp in Avila Beach that actually lifts boats in and out of the water. In a Facebook post published on March 27, the SportLaunch announced that, because of a statewide shelterat-home order, it would have to close, and just days before the opening of rockfish season on April 1 and salmon season on April 4. Lintner said this isn’t what she wanted the situation to come to, and she doesn’t understand why some recreational activities are allowed to continue while others aren’t. “We don’t want to be closed,” Lintner told New Times. “We’re going to feel this for a while. This is a big blow to the business.” Lintner’s shipments of bait and tackle for the next two seasons just recently arrived—the shelves and freezers in her shop near the ramp are full—and while the SportLaunch ramp typically launches about 40 to 50 boats a day this time of year, she hasn’t had a single boat come through since the March 27 closure. Commercial fishermen are still allowed out on the water, but Lintner’s ramp doesn’t usually get much of that business. Plus, she said, it’s not just commercial fishing that feeds hungry mouths. “People rely on this,” Lintner told New Times.
“This is recreation, but you also get to bring home enough to make tacos for the next two weeks.” That’s why Lintner and her husband had been hoping to avoid an all-out closure, and had started enforcing what they saw as a stringent list of social-distancing measures toward the end of March. But then Morro Bay announced plans to close its public launch ramp FISH OUT OF WATER Commercial fishing boats like this on March 26, and without that one are still allowed out on the water, but SLO County’s ramp taking some of the openingpublic ramps in Morro Bay and Port San Luis are officially day traffic, Lintner said it would be closed to recreational fishers and boaters. impossible for the SportLaunch to stay open. for boaters,” Collins wrote in an email to “We just kind of have to hope for the best and New Times. “We have spoken with several hope it opens in May,” she said. of them and explained the rationale for the Spring is a busy time for Morro Bay’s public closure.

Oceano’s Measure A-20 gets a recount
SLO County Clerk-Recorder Tommy Gong told New Times that the committee felt compelled to request the recount even though there have been two recounts over the years—a 2012 Grover Beach road improvement measure and the 2014 Pismo Beach mayoral race—that concluded with the same numbers as the initial result. The results of the recount will be posted online once it’s completed. The recount will begin April 2 at the clerkrecorder’s office, but Gong told New Times he is ensuring his staff adheres to social distancing guidelines while conducting the recount. He said a recount board consists of about four people, and each individual will be working at a long table to create the necessary distance. Gong has been speaking with the California Secretary of State’s Office and The National Association of Election Officials every day about the responsibility of keeping the staff in his department safe and possibly changing voting procedures for the upcoming November election. One of the changes could be a push to get voters to vote by mail. “If it comes to fruition that every voter gets a ballot in the mail then we would really have to get the messaging out there. You know, due to public health and safety, we would recommend
Oceano’s fire tax Measure A-20, which would have funded its end of the Five Cities Fire Authority joint powers agreement, was 11 votes shy of meeting the two-thirds requirement to pass. The Oceano 911 Committee for Measure A-20 requested a recount on March 30. Committee member Karen White told New Times via email that the final vote tally announced during the fourth week of March showed 1,294 voters, or 66.12 percent of the community supported the measure. The proposed parcel tax would have secured rapid response times for medical emergencies and fire protection services, 24/7 staffing, and a third full-time firefighter. Securing emergency services and fire protection through the jointservice agency would cost homeowners in the district an annual amount of $180, about $15 a month, which would have brought in approximately $422,000 a year. Funding for the recount will come from committee volunteers. “We have been told by the county the vote will probably not change, but we owe it to all the folks who voted yes to try,” White said. According to Clerk-Recorder’s Office officials, the recount will cost $808 a day.

New fees loom for SLO County cannabis growers
With the COVID-19 crisis taking center stage, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors delayed a scheduled discussion on March 24 about the state of local cannabis oversight and permitting. As of March 9, SLO County had issued 31 total cannabis permits, while more than 130 applications remain in process. Though the discussion was put off, its accompanying staff report detailed the demands placed on the 11 county departments involved in the cannabis review process, which has resulted in higher than expected general fund spending. County staff are recommending the board enact higher cannabis industry fees to help offset the cost of seven new proposed staff members, whose salaries and benefits would exceed $1 million. The report did not specify how much above its forecasts the county is currently spending on cannabis activities, but it indicated that at least five additional fulltime equivalent employees are involved than were budgeted during this fiscal year. “Since the early stages of the county’s cannabis program, the Board of Supervisors has stated that the cannabis industry should be self-supporting, and not rely on county general fund for permitted activities,” the staff report read. “At this time only a portion of all costs are recovered through fees, and the county cannabis program continues to rely heavily on the county general fund.” A new business license fee, a “postproject” fee, a background check fee, and higher monitoring fees are proposed to cover staffing costs at several departments, including the Sheriff’s Office, the Planning and Building Department, and Cal Fire. Since the legalization of cannabis in 2017, the industry in SLO County has been highly critical of the local rollout, calling the county’s regulations and permitting requirements unfairly onerous, slow, and an always-moving target. Megan Souza, co-owner of Megan’s Organic Market, which has applied for two cultivation permits with the county, said that while the new proposed fees would be “burdensome,” she doesn’t oppose them if it improves the application process. “If they lead to more efficient permit processing, then it will all even out,” Souza told New Times via email. “The fee increases will likely be less burdensome than the opportunity cost of missing a planting season because of slow permit processing.” In addition to the new fees, the Board of Supervisors is also poised to revise its cannabis ordinance to further restrict the type of commercial growing allowed in the county. Called the “phase 3” amendments, the revisions include banning all outdoor
cultivation, establishing residences as “sensitive receptors”—which would require a 1,000-foot setback from any grow to any residence—require closed systems for indoor cultivation, and establish a permit violations policy, among other tweaks. The amendments, which are expected to come before the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors over the summer, would apply to any new cannabis applicant as well as any applicants still in the permitting process when the ordinance gets revised, according to county officials. —Peter Johnson
Education Foundation launches COVID-19 fund for families
When Erica Flores Baltodano heard that schools in the San Luis Coastal Unified School District were closing indefinitely to help stop the spread of COVID-19, she knew some students would struggle more than others. “Right now, a lot of our families are going to be impacted severely by school closures,” Baltodano told New Times. “And we’re all going to be inconvenienced.” Baltodano is a mother of two San Luis Coastal students and a board member with the San Luis Coastal Education Foundation, which was created a few years ago to help provide the district’s teachers and students with necessary resources and educational opportunities. In recent weeks, she played a key role in launching the foundation’s new School Closure Impact Fund, an effort to help the families and students that have been hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. Community members who are willing and able can donate to the fund through the foundation’s website, and then the foundation will release those funds to the school district to use in providing necessary resources to students. The situation is changing on a daily basis, so Baltodano said it isn’t exactly clear what the district’s families need help with yet. But about 40 percent of San Luis Coastal’s students are considered socioeconomically disadvantaged, she said, and the district will likely need to provide several families with computers, Wi-Fi, and other supplies so that the students can participate in online learning. The fund will also likely go toward providing housing help, extra counseling services, and ensuring food security. “So the foundation is really wanting to support the efforts of the district to ensure that none of the kids fall through the cracks at this unprecedented time,” Baltodano said. Although Baltodano couldn’t say how much has already been raised through the fund, she said the community support has been wonderful. The foundation plans to keep the fund open for at least the duration of the coronavirus shutdowns, and Baltodano said no amount is too small. Even her two kids donated their most recent allowances, she said. “If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s really taught us that we’re all in this together.” If you’d like to donate to the School Closure Impact Fund, visit weblink. donorperfect.com/school_closures.

New Times speaks with a local emergency physician about COVID-19 Editor’s Note: Staff Writer Karen Garcia spoke with Dr. Drad Knox, an emergency physician at Sierra Vista and Twin Cities hospitals, over the phone. Knox, who is also the chair of Sierra Vista’s Department of Emergency Medicine, agreed to do a Q&A. Answers have been edited for space and clarity. Visit newtimesslo.com for the complete Q-and-A. New Times: How has the virus impacted Sierra Vista and what is it doing to prepare to treat individuals with severe symptoms of COVID-19? Dr. Drad Knox: Trying to keep the emergency room functioning just like it would have two months ago. People are still having their heart attacks, their strokes, their appendicitis, and their broken bones; we’re still there to serve that need. ... Our numbers are down about 60 to 70 percent ... and as a result, we’ve been kind of cutting back some of our physician hours. ... The plus side of that is we can dedicate that energy to preparation and kind of getting everything as ready as possible. NT: I understand that an individual who might be experiencing coronavirus symptoms must first call their primary before going to the emergency room. Can you elaborate on that process? Knox: If a patient is sick enough to need to stay in the hospital, then those are the ones that are being tested through the hospital. ... Unfortunately, due to resource limitations on the part of Department of Public Health, they can’t test everybody, so for the patients—we use the term “the walking well,” the ones who have mild symptoms, and are still able to stay at home and use supportive measures—those are the patients who should be reaching out to their doctors. Their doctors can then decide if they want to order the test and get the specimen. ... The big thing to keep in mind is it doesn’t necessarily change management from an outside or an outpatient perspective. So those patients should be at home quarantined. They should be making sure they’re washing their hands, covering their mouth if they’re coughing or sneezing, and minimizing contact with others to minimize the spread. NT: At what stage of having COVID-19 symptoms should an individual seek help from the hospital? Knox: The big thing about this virus is, for most people, they will be fine over the course of about a 10-day period. Day eight to 10 is really kind of where the coin-flip comes. If a patient’s going to decompensate, that’s when it’s going to happen. And the reason it happens is because this virus directly attacks the lung tissue and the lungs lose their structural stability. So, the biggest thing you’re going to see if this is starting to become more severe is shortness of breath. ... The moment someone starts feeling short of breath, they need to come to their local emergency room for evaluation and potential treatment.
NT: What’s it like treating and caring for someone with COVID-19 symptoms? Knox: I think right now, because it’s a pandemic, because we know it’s in our community, again, because we’re not testing as abundantly, we don’t know how prevalent it is in our community. We’re kind of reverting back to in the 1980s, when HIV was rampant, and the rule of thumb was treat everybody like they have it, so make sure you’ve got gloves on, make sure you’re protecting your skin, and any kind of exposures. Right now, we’re kind of doing the same thing with this. ... No one alive, pretty much, has seen anything like this before. You look at the last pandemic like the Spanish Flu in 1918. So there’s really no guidebook for this. But that being said, we train on infectious disease throughout our residency training in emergency medicine. Just like we trained for bioterrorism or bombings, it’s all part of what we do. NT: How much communication does the hospital and San Luis Obispo County have? Knox: It’s extensive. Picture breaking up with somebody, and they just keep calling you and calling you. We’re in touch with them daily, multiple calls a day. And then there’s a weekly round-up between all facilities and physicians. We’re in touch with our community physician, obviously, with the [Department of Public Health] and with our compatriots over at Dignity Health and Cal Poly. This is an allhands-on-deck, community-first effort. NT: If we do have a surge in individuals testing positive with COVID-19, how prepared do you feel with ventilators, ICU beds, and space in the hospitals to keep them quarantined? Knox: Right now, speaking as one of the people that is helping to guide the preparations, I’m a little biased. I do feel like we’re as prepared as we can be at the moment with the resources we have. Short of building another hospital or suddenly having just a wealth of additional equipment and manpower show up, I think we’re ready. Every day that this doesn’t hit, we’re becoming even more ready. It’s kind of like you’ve done all the training, you’ve done the practicing, now you’re just waiting for that Friday night game and ready to get out on the field and do it. We’ve actually increased our equipment drastically in the past month or so as we were watching what’s happening worldwide and the prediction. ... We’re doing everything possible and I feel as a member of the community, very safe and very prepared. And I’m thankful I’m not living anywhere else right now. NT: Do you see us being in this situation for several months, weeks, or what are you thinking? Knox: There’s a lot of stuff I think we just don’t know. Right now, the goal of just hunkering down and minimizing transition and the spreading of this thing is the single best thing we can do. It’s going to be more time. It’s going to be more time than I want it to be, I’m sure. Δ —Karen Garcia

Rural communities find ways to help one another and keep track of county COVID-19 updates without internet access
I
n areas like Creston, where the nearest cities of Atascadero and Paso Robles are about 11 and 14 miles away, respectively, getting the word out about coronavirus is up to the community. So is helping those who need it. Making the drive to town might not be safe and could be a challenge for seniors and immunocompromised individuals, Creston Women’s Club President Jennifer Best told New Times. The Women’s Club has rallied 18 volunteers and established the Creston Response Team to help those in need with essential errands for groceries or pharmacy pickups. Its main platform of communication has been through club members, neighbors, and friends who are either on Facebook or email. Best said the club also realizes that seniors don’t necessarily have web access. “We are posting flyers at our community’s main communication center—the community board outside the post office,” she told New Times via email. The flyer lists a phone number that people can call to sign up for assistance. “We have also asked those we contact with email/internet access to help their disconnected neighbors sign up online if help is needed,” she said. Best maintains the list with direction and input from the club’s board members. When a request comes in, she can look at the requester’s address to pair with their closest neighbor. “You use the pharmacy in Atascadero? Then I’m going to pair you with your nearest volunteering country neighbor who plans to go to Atascadero anytime soon,” Best said. Some of the Creston Response Team volunteers are employed by essential businesses so they still have to go to town regularly, and a grocery pickup is easy to do, she said. In Santa Margarita, Caliwala Food Market & Deli is working hard to keep its shelves stocked for customers. Owner and operator Erin Inglish

• To apply for assistance from the Creston Women’s Club, visit bit.ly/2x8us56 or call (805) 316-1884. • To give Caliwala Market & Deli your grocery wish list for pickup, email Erin Inglish at caliwalafoods@ gmail.com. For same-day fulfillment, email Erin by noon. Curbside pickup is from 4 to 6 p.m. Temporary hours include 10 to 11 a.m. for seniors and noon to 4 p.m. for all other customers. • View daily COVID-19 briefings from the SLO County Public Health Department at 3:15 p.m. via facebook. com/SLOPublicHealth.org or the KCOY/KEYT and KSBY TV news channels.

said a majority of her customers come from Creston, Pozo, Park Hill, Santa Margarita, and south Atascadero. Inglish is currently taking grocery orders for pickup via email and offering curb-side pickup “The good news is very few people know that we’re here, except for locals. And because of that we’re able to supply a reliable and safe food source because we don’t have tons of people coming in at once,” she said. She said, thankfully, there isn’t a food shortage, and there certainly isn’t a toilet paper shortage. “There is a distribution conundrum going on right now because of the panic purchasing. So, unfortunately, you know, I’m competing with hundreds of other markets that source from the same suppliers. So it’s a matter of being patient and diligent,” Inglish said. She said even if she can’t find an item for her market one day, she will more than likely get it within the week. “Everyone will be fed, and everyone

will be well. People are just going to have to, at least for the interim period, adjust to not having everything at their fingertips instantly,” she said. “But so far I think we’ve been able to provide a really reliable, consistent, source for our foods.” SLO County 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold said she isn’t surprised that rural communities are banding together to help one another at this time. “One thing I’ll say as a resident myself out in these remote areas is I think people know each other and, more so, they know people’s particular circumstances. In other words, there’s usually reason to be in contact with each other, all the time, for different reasons,” Arnold said. In rural communities, she said, neighbors often check in with each other because these communities overcome fires, drought situations, and even deal with cattle on the road together. “It’s more of a neighbor-helpingneighbor type of community,” she said. Even though many individuals aren’t connected to the internet, Arnold said in the Pozo area where she lives, she’s
seen an increase in access. The older community is keeping in touch, if not via computer, it’s through cellphone or tablet. For SLO County to stay connected with residents, Arnold said the county created readyslo.org. The website directs visitors to information on disaster preparedness, current emergency information, and recovery information—under the “current emergency information” tab are COVID-19 updates and resources. Arnold said the county has also set up a program to procure food and prescription medication for self-isolating seniors and individuals with chronic medical conditions. Arnold said the county is working closely with the Public Health Department and other entities to contain the coronavirus’ spread and keep the county informed. “I would want people to feel confident that the county staff is working really hard to protect people from this COVID-19 virus,” Arnold said. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

Don’t flush wipes! Without toilet paper in stock, landlords and wastewater officials worry about what’s getting flushed
GRAPHIC COURTESY OF CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATON OF SANITATION AGENCIES
Easy Ad
U
nless you were involved in the early (and seemingly irrational) COVID-19 toilet paper stockpiling frenzy, you’ve probably noticed that the paper product we once took for granted has become near impossible to find. Grocery store shelves where hoards of toilet paper once sat are now empty, toilet paper vendors on Amazon and eBay are sold out, TP-related memes are now almost as popular online as dog videos, and sparing a square is officially considered volunteer work. And that, for a variety of reasons, is cause for great concern. From bidets and wet wipes to Kleenex and paper towels, Americans are being forced to become increasingly adventurous with what products they use for you-know-what in you-know-where. And that has landlords and officials in the wastewater industry worried. On March 17, the California Water Boards sent out a notice reminding Californians that wet wipes and paper towels can clog sewer systems and shouldn’t be flushed. “Wipes are among the leading causes of sewer system backups, impacting sewer system and treatment plant pumps and treatment systems,” the notice reads. “Many spills go to our lakes, rivers, and oceans, where they have broadranging impacts on public health and the environment. Preventing sewer spills is important, especially during this COVID-19 emergency, for the protection of public health and the environment.” When California West Real Estate Management President Derek Banducci saw the state’s notice, he immediately forwarded it to all of his tenants in hopes of educating them and in turn avoiding serious and costly damage. “In our SLO office, we rent to a lot of college students who are out living on their own for the first time,” Banducci told New Times. “So they don’t realize the damage this can cause.” As the president of a property management company, Banducci has dealt with his fair share of plumbing issues. Wet wipes are a common instigator of pipe blockages, which he said can cause sewage to back up through pipes and come out of kitchen sinks and showers. Fixing something like that can cost thousands, and Banducci said if he can figure out which tenants are to blame for the damage, he’ll charge them. The problem is so common that California West’s leases all prohibit the flushing of wet wipes, he said. “Flushing wipes down toilets is a bad idea,” Banducci said. David Hix, deputy director of San Luis Obispo Wastewater, agrees. “The problem with wipes is that they don’t break down like toilet paper,” Hix told New Times. Toilet paper is the only product that truly breaks down like toilet paper, Hix
To our loyal readers,
DON’T FLUSH Wet wipes are among the leading causes of sewer system backups and cause serious damage, according to the California Association of Sanitation Agencies.
said. Paper towels, wet wipes, Clorox wipes, shop towels, and even wipes that are specifically marketed and labeled as “flushable” are in fact not flushable. When those products do go into toilets, they can cause serious plumbing and sewage issues. Wet wipes in particular are constant troublemakers in the wastewater industry, and Hix is hoping the current absence of toilet paper from stores’ shelves won’t make that problem worse locally. Adult wet wipes have been on the market for years, but Hix said they only gained popularity about 10 years ago. Most wet wipes—including the notorious “flushable wipes”—actually contain plastic materials that don’t dissolve. Instead, they tend to catch and bunch up throughout the city’s sewer infrastructure, leading to blockages. Sometimes the problem occurs on private property. Wipes often get caught on tree roots and attract oil and grease, resulting in large obstructions in private pipes, septic systems, and sewer lines that can lead to property damage. Other times, the problem hits farther down the line, catching in the sewer collection systems, clogging and damaging the pumps that move wastewater to the treatment facility, and amassing and weaving together at the treatment plant. The wipes wreak havoc on wastewater equipment, and the blockages they cause can lead to overflows and spills of raw, untreated waste. Spills are fairly significant health and environmental hazards, and with a pandemic already in full swing, Hix said a sewage crisis is really the last thing we need to worry about right now. When such a situation does unfold in the city’s main, it’s next to impossible to figure out who is to blame, and Hix said the city hasn’t been successful in finding and charging offenders in the past. It’s unclear how much the city spends each year repairing damage caused by flushed unflushables, but Hix said the city spends about $1.4 million annually on sewage and wastewater maintenance and cleaning, and an additional $2 million on replacing aged or obsolete infrastructure. So while Hix said he understands that it’s a challenging time for everyone, “the only thing that should go in the toilet is toilet paper.” “We’re not saying don’t use these wipes,” Hix told New Times, “but they really have to go in the garbage.” ∆ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@newtimesslo.com.

REINVENTING After closing due to the coronavirus, Granada Hotel & Bistro is now Granada Grocery, a pop-up market serving wine, food, and other home essentials.
BY PETER JOHNSON
Wine, dine, delivered
W
hen San Luis Obispo’s shelter-athome order closed the restaurant at Granada Hotel & Bistro, owner Kimberly Walker just didn’t feel right about keeping the hotel side of her downtown business open. “Granada started as a bistro and we built our business on our food and beverage program, so it’s really hard to separate one from the other,” Walker told New Times. “People come for this holistic experience. We really didn’t feel it was appropriate to do something that was piecemeal.” And so like some other members of SLO County’s hospitality industry, Walker has moved swiftly to reinvent her business to continue to serve the community. Granada Hotel & Bistro is temporarily Granada Grocery, a pop-up market and delivery service offering up bottles of thoughtfully selected wine, to-go food, coffee and tea, beer, cocktail kits, and more. “We got into the business because we love serving the SLO community,” Walker said. “We just started to look at ways of how we could continue to do that in this new landscape, and we thought this would be great. We came back to our love of wine for this grocery concept.” When reached by phone, Walker was just wrapping up her first round of deliveries, a service that’s only available to residences in the city of SLO at the moment. “That was pretty cool, actually,” Walker said. “It was neat to put some smiles on people’s faces.” Customers can also drop by the market for curbside pick-up, open every day between noon and 5 p.m. at 1130 Morro St. Orders can be placed at granadagroceryslo.com or by calling (805)-544-9110. Walker said she and her staff have worked hard to offer something a little different— and useful for all of us stuck at home. “It started with wine, and we started thinking about other things people would want right now,” she said. “It’s what would you need when you are in shelter-in-place?” In addition to delivering classics like a cocktail kit that will empower you to make Granada-quality drinks, Walker has put together a variety of “essential boxes” to serve you at home. There’s the “self-care” box, featuring a CBD face mask, chocolates, and more; the “good mornings” box, with a bag of
Cacti Coffee, granola, and fresh-squeezed juice; the “stay safe” box, filled with latex gloves, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, and sage and Palo Santo; the “find the joy” box, which includes a greeting card for you to fill out and then send along to a missed friend or family member; and a “sexy time” box, described as an “intimacy kit” for those sheltered at home with a significant other. Walker said she hopes that the community will find joy and connection through Granada’s new market. She’s been feeling it herself with the way that SLO has come together during the COVID-19 crisis. “It’s neat to see the hope and caring and the friendliness of our community through this very scary, uncertain time,” she said. “It says a lot about living here and the people who live here.”
Fast facts
• SLO Cider Co. donated 50 percent of its total sales from March 30 to April 4 (up to $5,000) to the SLO County Food Bank. The new cidery opened its tasting room on March 13, just before the COVID-19 crisis closed all non-essential businesses. You can still buy their cider at slociderco.com. “It was sad to have to shut our doors so soon,” SLO Cider Co.’s marketing head Peter Ayer said in a press release, “but we are here for the long haul. The SLO community is important to us and we want to help in what small ways we can.” • KROBAR Craft Distillery, Azeo Distillery, and Calwise Spirits Co., all Paso Robles-based distilleries, have repurposed their spirit-making operations to now produce hand sanitizer. The sanitizer is being delivered to local hospitals, first responders, emergency services, businesses, and residents in need. “The key ingredient of sanitizer is high-level alcohol—and we can literally produce it by the tankful,” KROBAR coowner Joe Barton said in a press release. “So, the moment we heard hospitals and health care workers were struggling to find hand sanitizer, my co-owner Steve Kroener and our staff went to work.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson wrote this week’s Strokes and Plugs.

Take profit out Why our for-profit health care system is unprepared for this current crisis
E
very family in America has a horror story to tell around our current health care system. You know what it is. The high cost. The inability to be seen. The denials. The long waits for appointments. The cost of the cure. Many, who have cancer, have gone bankrupt trying to save a life. We all know this, but little has been done to cure our ailing health care system. Big hospitals have bought out small ones. Medical care has become a monopoly in most places in our country. We are now stuck with what we have. Add to this the health insurance companies, who only make money by denying service. Their actions are criminal. The same with the greedy drug companies, raising prices on simple drugs, and all for bigger profits. Then there is the government, who for decades has been complicit in all of this. Republicans and Democrats alike. The last time we had a chance to fix the system, the president and the Congress would not even consider a public option. Lip service was paid to it, but the president didn’t fight for it, and one Senate Democrat was allowed to take the public option off the table. Today, we know that the for-profit health care system we have is not ready for a health crisis in the way a public health care system could be. There are not the hospitals or beds or protective gear or ventilators or even masks. The big
HODIN
fish have eaten the little fish, and we are left with bloated bureaucracies and not enough care. If, on the other hand, a public health system had preserved small hospitals in every community and health care units in rural areas, we would have a better chance to fight this virus. If the profit motive were removed from health care, attention could have been paid to preparation for the pandemic that many predicted would come. Bottom line is that if health care were a public good, a human right, it would be universal and less expensive to provide. Under those circumstances, we would not be scrambling for answers to the basic question: How do we, as a nation, face a pandemic together, and how can our health care system test for a virus, treat a virus, and develop a vaccine against a virus. We are where we are because of greed and ignorance. Greed on the part of forprofit health care providers, insurance companies, and drug companies. Ignorance on the part of our leaders, and their funders. Now we have to take profit out of the health care industry and provide care for all Americans, no matter whether they are white or black, rich or poor, a native American or an immigrant. The rich should not be tested first, treated first, considered first in line. All American lives matter. So the
government has the ability to change an unfair system to one that values all of us, especially in the midst of this pandemic. Those same senators and congressmen who have accepted contributions from the health care industry, health insurance companies, and drug makers have to stand up as one as say, “Americans are more important than the money you have given to me. I’m voting for them, and you need to help us in this crisis to save as many people as you can.” Bernie Sanders, yes that socialist we were told to fear, knows what has to be done and is ready to lead our country in the fight of our lives. What he is proposing in the Senate should be considered seriously, devoid of labels and special interests, and if his solutions are the right solutions, Congress should enact the legislation that is needed to fight this pandemic. This extends to the economic costs of the virus to ordinary people. Corporations can take care of themselves. They always have and always will. Congress has to take care of us, the working people of America, who they have forgotten for so long. They have to give us financial relief now, and not in small measures like the Republicans propose. We, the people, have been deserted by politicians for too long. It is the decisions of this and past governments that have left us unprepared for this medical and financial disaster. They owe it to all Americans to make things right. The Republicans, Democrats, and Independents in Congress need to drop their labels and be Americans. What is best for the people? Not their funders, not their party, not their ideology, but the people they have been elected to serve. If they answer that question honestly and
with human compassion, we will survive this pandemic. There is no other course they can take. ∆ Gale McNeeley writes from Santa Maria. Send comments through the editor at clanham@newtimesslo.com or email a letter for publication to letters@ newtimesslo.com.
Letters Keep your distance, but keep moving
Clearly, stay-at-home mandates (except for shopping, doctor visits, etc.) can drive people crazy. But what drives me a little crazy are those mandates that are imposed on our trails and beaches, without them having been clearly thought out. My wife and I do a lot of walking ... everywhere. It’s essential to stay somewhat busy, and get exercise, or depression (and even domestic violence) will/can set in. There’s little evidence COVID-19 travels through the air, unless it’s in the form of mucous from a cough or sneeze. It needs a host, and a host’s fluids. Therefore, our trails and beaches should be safe from transmission as long as people stay a reasonable distance apart. Six feet seems to me somewhat arbitrary. The other day we met a couple senior friends hiking on our newly designated one-way trail at the Fiscalini Ranch in Cambria. As a joke I said I was going to issue a “citizen’s arrest” since they had violated the one-way signs planted all over. We chatted for a while and LETTERS continued page 12

they agreed it was all overdone. Fresh air is fresh air, and people are unlikely to be touching each other (or breathing on them) anytime soon. We went to see a movie at the Bay Theatre in Morro Bay a day before it closed. There was only one other couple in the whole place. We continue to play tennis with friends, and thankfully our local club hasn’t issued any mandates to stay off the courts. I was operated on for bladder cancer a little over two months ago. (I’m recovered). But I could be considered to still have an underlying condition. But I’m not going to let extreme paranoia rule my life (what’s left of it. I’m 73). Take precautions, but use common sense. Thank you New Times for hanging in there. William Seavey Cambria
Oceano beach closed to vehicles Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area is closed to vehicles. Yesterday I walked, safe and undisturbed, the entire length of the beach and a good stretch of the dunes. Their vastness, peace, and beauty eased my pandemic anxiety for the time being. However, I also realized the extent of the destruction done by motorized recreation and the California State Parks off-highway vehicles division’s efforts to control

it and protect our natural resources. Miles of orange fence and barbed wire surround the Indian shell mitten, the snowy plovers’ nesting area, the natural preserve, Arroyo Grande Creek, and several small islands of native vegetation: one cage after the other for miles. I felt like I was in a cage, too. Next to those miles of fence and wire lay a thick, black layer of incinerated wood, cardboard, plastic, and all kinds of trash, leftovers from thousands of careless campers. This could be a wonderful opportunity for State Parks to do a deep cleaning! Oceano beach and dunes are closed to vehicles, but open for day use between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. This might be your only chance to explore them, safe and undisturbed, and see for yourself the beauty and the ugliness.

e can slash fossil fuel extraction and consumption. We can ramp up solar panels, electric cars, public transportation, and walkable neighborhoods. We can zero out the cheeseburgers. But around the world, the realization is growing: In the face of twin crises of climate and extinction, to ensure the survival of threatened species and successfully combat climate change, we need to permanently protect half of the planet’s undeveloped land and waters by 2050. Per the Intergovernmental SciencePolicy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, a million plant and animal species are threatened with extinction due to land conversion, development, climate change, invasive species, and pollution. In the United States, more than 1.5 million acres per year are lost to development, the equivalent of an area of natural lands the size of a football field every 30 seconds. This loss of natural habitat is a threat to human communities, threatening drinking water and degrading natural defenses against storms and floods, which are on the rise as climate impacts bite down. Here’s the good news: By protecting our lands and waters, we can maintain those lands as natural carbon sinks, keep fossil fuels in the ground, and avoid massive land-use change while providing crucial habitat for wildlife in a warming world. In the U.S., the Sierra Club is planting the flag for a major step toward this goal: The conservation of 30 percent of our natural lands and waters by 2030.
Trump administration at bay. Several states have already taken action based on what the science is telling us. Hawaii’s Marine 30-by-30 initiative is committed to managing 30 percent of Hawaii’s nearshore marine environment and protecting 30 of its watershed forests by 2030. In South Carolina, the ThirtyBy-Thirty Conservation Act has been introduced in the state Legislature with bipartisan support. And on Feb. 21, California state Assemblymember Ash Kalra (D-San Jose) introduced Assembly Bill 3030, declaring “the goal of the state to conserve at least 30 percent of the land and 30 percent of the ocean within the state by 2030.” Later this year, the parties to the UN Convention on Biodiversity—the global agreement through which nations commit to protect wildlife, natural systems, and wild places—will convene to review and update the convention. The need to preserve 30 percent of our natural areas by 2030 if we are to turn back the specter of mass extinction is expected to be on the agenda. The voices of governors, mayors, tribal leaders, and state legislators will need to be heard to build support for this international 30-by-30 agreement. In our own backyard, the 25-yearold greenbelt around the city of SLO and its emphasis on preserving wildlife corridors is looking more visionary with each passing year.

This loss of natural habitat is a threat to human communities, threatening drinking water and degrading natural defenses against storms and floods, which are on the rise as climate impacts bite down. About 12 percent of American lands are currently protected—meaning development, logging, and off-road vehicle use is off limits, along with new oil and gas leasing. We are among the top five countries in the world that still have a plentiful amount of land in a largely natural condition. With the right agenda and leadership, the U.S. can conserve a meaningful portion of its remaining wildlife habitat and natural areas. I know what you’re thinking. Can this be done even if, come Election Day, the current administration—which, in the midst of a pandemic, hasn’t dropped a stitch in its relentless attack on the environment and endangered species and is hell-bent on offering up millions of acres of public land to the fossil fuel industry for drilling and mining— remains in power? Yes. State and local open space programs and parks nationwide can be expanded significantly. Such actions will have an impact, even if, at the federal level, we simultaneously have to engage in four more years of litigation to hold the former industry lobbyists running the
Coastal Commission’s vision for an OHV-free Oceano Dunes are key to this effort. Likewise for the passage of the Central Coast Heritage Protection Act and designation of a Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary. In other words, there will be plenty of opportunities for local and national engagement as the 30-by-30 campaign ramps up. Stay tuned. Also: The Sierra Club is asking everyone to support the frontline organizations aiding the most vulnerable communities hit by the coronavirus. Critical funding and supplies are needed for those most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Go to: secure.actblue.com/ donate/covid.

The Shredder
Closed and confused G olf courses are open but boat launches are closed. Recreation with a club on the one hand and recreation with a rod on the other. Only one is in a clearly defined location that you cruise around in via a golf cart that you borrowed, while the other takes place in the Pacific Ocean in a boat that belongs to you. Plus, it’s super easy to stay more than 6 feet away from other boaters. If you’re going to go the social distance, getting out on the open water is exactly the way to do it, amirite? Also, you could bring home some necessities, like deliciously lean fish protein, if you get out on a boat. Whereas with golf, all you bring home is a sunburn. Port San Luis Boat SportLaunch, run by Missy Lintner and her husband, was forced to close. And Lintner doesn’t understand why some recreational activities are allowed to continue while others aren’t. And I’m with her! “People rely on this,” she told New Times. “This is recreation, but you also get to bring home enough to make tacos for the next two weeks.” Tacos? Yum. I’m with her! What about farmers’ markets? Those are open. Produce is a necessity, according to the government. And it absolutely should be. Healthy, fresh, not in an enclosed space that’s been traversed by all kinds of people with shelves of
items that have been picked up and put back by countless hands (gross!). What more could you ask for? So what about fish? The boat launches closed just as people started salivating over the opening of salmon and rockfish season, so I guess the government doesn’t consider recreational fishing a necessary activity. Morro Bay Harbor Director Eric Endersby said Morro Bay’s boat ramp was closed due to public safety. Really, though, it’s because out-of-towners were about to descend en mass on the touriststrapped city to get their boats in the water. And traveling is a bad idea, City Manager Scott Collins said. People just can’t take the hint or play by the rules, so everything gets shut down because of it. State parks up and down the coast were forced to close due to overcrowding issues. SLO County closed beach parking lots—and still people are flocking to areas because they don’t know how else to fill their time. All of you people who don’t normally get outside for fun: What is it exactly that you did for fun? Do you remember? Well, hopefully you can figure out how to do that from the safety of your couch because pretty soon nobody is going to be able to do anything! And the only person to blame is you, baby. Also, why are gun shops, cannabis shops, and liquor stores open? I’m looking

at you Natural Healing Center, which set up a tent outside its Grover Beach facility—like they’re ready to test coronavirus patients, but really it’s so stoners don’t have to get out of their cars to pick up their THC to go. On the plus side, you can also get cocktails to go from places like Sidecar—so it ain’t all bad. Get liquor, THC, and ammunition delivered directly to your vehicle, and head on over to a very crowded open space near you. Drink up, smoke out, shoot ’em up—all while “social distancing,” of course. Now, that’s what I call recreation! What could go wrong? Meanwhile, would-be TP flushers could soon become toilet cloggers with the run we’ve had on our toilet paper supply. Only have paper towels or wet wipes? Yeah. You’re not suppose to put those in the toilet. They can stop up sewer systems and back up sewage into your shower drain. Yucko, bucko. California West Real Estate Management President Derek Banducci basically called flushing wet wipes a rookie move! Something that college students who are living on their own for the first time would do because they don’t realize the thousands of dollars’ worth of damage it can cause. “Flushing wipes down toilets is a bad idea,” Balducci said. So don’t be a newb, people. Wipe your
ass and put it in the trash! Speaking of thousands of dollars’ worth of damage, 11 voters in Oceano could have saved Oceano 911 committee members $808 a day in recount expenses. Eleven votes! That’s how many more votes Measure A-20, which would have kept the unincorporated area part of the Five Cities Fire Authority by charging landowners an extra $15 a month on their taxes, needed to pass. Even though none of SLO County’s past recounts have successfully changed the initial count, those dedicated to the cause are insisting on it. SLO County Clerk-Recorder Tommy Gong, being the sweet guy that he is, is letting the committee have a daily get-out-of-jailfree card. At the end of each day of the recount, the committee can decide whether they want to continue spending $808 a day. I have a feeling they’re going to go. All. The. Way! If you’re bored, you can’t watch the recount, though. Because of social distancing. I guess you’re stuck watching Tiger King—the only thing that seems to be able to bring a divided nation together in times of trial and tribulation.

aul Irving of Big Big SLO is an idea man. He sees a need and he fills it. That’s what he did with his free monthly music listing, and that’s what he’s doing now with SLO House Party, a new website where over the next five days he’ll host more than 50 30- to 45-minute streamed concerts direct from the artists’ homes. The entire listing is available at bigbigslo.com/houseparty. Which kicks of this Thursday, April 2, with Greybill (noon), Absolute Zero (1 p.m.), Petrella (2 p.m.), Nataly Lola (3 p.m.), Mark Adams (4 p.m.), Surface (5 p.m.), Noach Tangeras (6 p.m.), Doug Groshart (7 p.m.), Let Flo Go (8 p.m.), the Chad Land Band (9 p.m.), Micki & Casey (10 p.m.), and B!gharz (11 p.m.). Then Irving is going to do it again for the next four days with new bands! Check the online listings for your favorites and tune in. If you like what you hear, there’ll be a link to send money, 60 percent of which goes to the band, 20 percent to Irving for organizing and maintaining the website, and the other 20 percent to the tech—probably local musician Vince Cimo—who’s recording and streaming the concerts. “I started by handpicking bands I thought would want to participate,” Irving said in a recent phone interview. “It just feels like the music community is going a little stir crazy, and I thought they’d enjoy some good local music with high production values. People can pay whatever they can afford, and they can watch on Facebook Live, Twitch, and YouTube Live, or on the Big Big SLO website. This will be the best concert we can provide before we can go back outside again, and then we’ll go back outside, but who knows, there might be applications for this after the quarantine.” It’s definitely an idea whose time has come, and after this initial five-day run, if there’s a need and more bands want to participate, Irving will keep it going. I watched the test run on Tuesday with Vince Cimo playing, and it looked and sounded great! And speaking of Vince Cimo ... “Yep! I’ll be doing a set on Saturday, April 4, at 9 p.m. [on the SLO House Party], and I’ll also be doing an improvised beat making session every day at 10 a.m. for an hour,” Cimo said via email. “I’m calling the series Beats Before Breakfast.” Tune in to twitch.tv/datalooper. Cimo is a member of the Cimo Brothers, Mannequins by Day, and an amazing looper. He layered a bunch of instruments and his voice during the SLO House Party test run. Tune in and support our local music scene! This is going to be good!

THE PHILANTHROPIST Doug Groshart has done a series of four Friday night concerts and raised more than $3,000 for five musicians/service industry people. He’ll stream again on April 3.
Pay it forward
Doug Groshart of the JD Project has been doing independent streaming shows for the last few Friday nights, and he’s been getting pretty good tips, but instead of keeping them for himself, he’s donated them to others. “I’ve been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support,” he texted. “I think people are appreciative of the distraction that our little show brings and want to help out people any way they can. We’ve been able to donate over $3,000 to five local musicians/service industry folks from four shows, so it’s been really helpful and so heartwarming. I’ve also loved that my kids have been interested in joining, so my son has played guitar and [my] daughter has sung. My wife keeps the beers coming and tracks all the requests on dry erase boards. It’s been a bright spot for us in a pretty weird time.” Groshart is also participating in the SLO House Party with a show on Thursday, April 2, at 7 p.m., and he’ll do his own thing on Friday, April 3, at 5 p.m. “Probably Saturday too,” Groshart said, “but the time is to be determined as I am trying not to step on other live streams’ toes, and I think Natalie Haskins is playing from Puffer’s from 5 to 6 p.m., so I am thinking 6.” This dude is a class act!

tormy Capalare would normally be in her Virginia Peterson Elementary School classroom where she works as a transitional-kinder teacher, but like most of us, she’s instead at home with her two boys, trying to keep them busy in these trying times. Capalare is also the art teacher for Centennial Park, and a certified Positive Discipline Instructor who conducts parenting workshops. In other words, for frazzled parents trying to keep their kids busy and learning during lockdown, she’s a knight in shining armor who’s ready to guide your kids through some fun art projects—26 to be exact, one for each letter of the alphabet. “Earlier in March, I released YouTube videos for parents and teachers—‘How to talk with kids about the coronavirus,’ ‘How to wash your hands,’ and a ‘How germs spread activity,’ where I demonstrated how germs are spread using glitter and hand lotion,” Capalare explained during an email exchange. “The online free art classes started at the beginning of uncertain times. I was talking to a teacher friend and she suggested creating art videos. My boys got excited—they love art—and my oldest asked to be in them, and my youngest added that he thought it would bring people so much joy. So we got started. “We committed to 26 days of fun arts and crafts projects designed for my students, their families, and friends,” she said. Capalare and her sons decided that each video would contain the following: It would be based on a letter, for instance “A is for alligator,” and there would be a couple of kid-friendly jokes, some fun facts about the art subject, and a daily gratitude affirmation—in other words sharing

something for which they are grateful that happened in the past 24 hours. She spread the word to her students, friends, and family with a post: “During this challenging time, it seems as though the need to stay in our homes in isolation is greatly increasing. I can only imagine the degree of challenges and hardship this has created for so many families. As an attempt to lessen the feeling of loneliness and isolation, I will be posting art lessons that hopefully will provide an at-home activity that families can add to their daily schedule.” The post went on to explain that the art lessons are good for all ages, and each selfcontained lesson lets participants jump in and start drawing right away: “All you need is something to draw with, some paper, and any coloring supplies: paint, pastels, markers, crayons, or color pencils.” Simply subscribe to Capalare’s YouTube SCREENSHOT OF YOUTUBE

For instance, the day seven lesson focused on “F is for Frankenstein,” and it ran just under 11 minutes and showed how to draw Frankenstein’s monster’s face in a cute and cartoony way. “I’m at home with my boys,” Capalare wrote, “and the art videos have been such a wonderful gift. People from near and far have been sending us videos and pictures of them watching our videos and the art they created. Some have even shared their daily gratitude and have gifted their art in the form of cards. “I continue to create parenting and educator videos, too, but a big focus, for now, is the commitment of one art video a day,” Capalare added. “Some days we post bonus art videos— ‘How to make a Harry Potter wand,’ ‘How to make a paper airplane’— and the videos can be accessed at any time. If people subscribe to our YouTube channel, they’ll get notified when we post a new video. We hope this continues to bring people joy.” Just for the record, what kind of vehicle does Frankenstein’s creature drive? A monster truck, of course! Δ

The main character is Joe Exotic—aka Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage—a gay polygamist with two husbands who sports a dyedblond mullet and a six-shooter pistol at his side, and who fancies himself a country singer. He runs an Oklahoma roadside zoo that specializes in a tiger cub petting.

TV-MA on adventurer James Keziah Delaney (Tom Hardy), who When? 2017-present after disappearing into Where’s it showing? FX, Hulu, Amazon Prime Africa for 10 years and being presumed dead, turns up in London upon the death of his father to collect his inheritance: His father’s beleaguered trading company, and more importantly, a disputed but highly valuable piece of America—the Nootka Sound, a strategic trading location that’s desperately coveted by the East India Trading Company, which will stop at nothing to acquire it. The War of 1812 is drawing to a close (it’s approximately 1814), and both the fledgling U.S. government and England want control of Nootka Sound. Run by Sir Stewart Strange (Jonathan Pryce), East India has its work cut out for it because Delaney is as ruthless and cunning as Strange, and maybe—just maybe—Delaney’s in league

WE ARE OPEN! seems to be an exploiter or the exploited. Joe, Baskins, and Antle are all cults of personality surrounded by sycophants. We also meet some really creepy types, like self-described businessmen Jeff Lowe and James Garretson, who have insinuated themselves into Joe’s life and business just as he’s spinning wildly out of control. The documentary’s subtitle is accurate: murder, mayhem, and madness indeed. These people are nuts! Anna One thing it brought to light for me is how little restriction there is in some places regarding owning and breeding exotic animals. It isn’t a cheap lifestyle either—Joe resorts to feeding his animals past-date meat from Walmart and cows that died before they could be slaughtered. Healthy animals don’t drop dead, and as someone who knows how animals in agriculture are cared for, I hate to think what those cats are ingesting. Baskin is problematic, too. Her “sanctuary” is no different than Joe’s: just cages with big cats stuck in them for life. She may not be breeding and exploiting cubs, but she’s by no means free of wrongdoing. As far as her missing husband goes, who knows? It’s an added salacious detail but still a mystery. This has a very The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia vibe, like watching a white-trash train wreck with no shortage of drama. If you can handle the crazy and are a fan of watching chaos from the other side of a fishbowl, have at it. I found it fascinating. ∆ Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and freelancer Anna Starkey write Split Screen. Glen compiles streaming listings. Comment at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.
with the devil. He’s definitely a man with few people he can trust. He left London under a black cloud for an incestuous affair with his now-married half-sister, Zilpha Geary (Oona Chaplin). He also has Brace (David Hayman), his father’s loyal servant. The actress Lorna Bow (Jessie Buckley) also becomes part of Delaney’s elaborate plan to leverage his control of the Nootka Sound into power. Dark, violent, and frequently disturbing, this is a riveting series that’s visually arresting and well-acted. I’m still in season one, but this is bingeworthy. (Sixteen 59 min. episodes.) —Glen

t’s not the hand sanitizer, the E.T. hazmat suit, the sci-fi mask, or the fasttracked frankenvaccine that’s going to be the super-forcefield to protect us from COVID-19. There are natural defenses at our fingertips. Plus, according to the American Society for Microbiology, there’s at least 320,000 mammalian viruses awaiting discovery, with 1,631 being coronaviruses, which reminds me of getting slimed on those Nickelodeon shows—it won’t hurt you, unless your mouth is open and you’re asking for it. Though we all have different needs, all three nutritionists I interviewed agreed on certain common denominators when it comes to boosting the immune system and keeping COVID-19 far, far away: Do: continue social distancing and washing your hands to protect your immune system. Keep hydrated with water. Eat organic, non-GMO, nutrientand mineral-rich whole foods, especially foods rich in vitamin C (oranges, grapefruits), vitamin A (romaine lettuce, spinach), vitamin D (fish, cheese), vitamin E (coconut oil, walnuts), selenium (bananas, dates), and zinc (almonds, grass-fed red meat). Get yourself more vitamin D under the sun, exercise, limit stress, and get good sleep. Don’t: drink too much alcohol and caffeinated drinks; eat processed foods, trans fats, highly refined vegetable oils, artificial sweeteners, non-fermented soy products, or foods filled with refined sugar and carbohydrates. “The most nutrient-dense foods contain all of our vitamins, minerals, and amino acids,” said the levelheaded Connie Rutledge, a functional nutritionist and quantum healing hypnotherapist out of SLO. “The nutrient-dense foods build and heal and repair the body.” Rutledge, who is normally an “empty nester,” has a full house during the ongoing shelter-in-place, as her daughters brought their families to stay together for support. She said both of them are dealing with COVID-19 related work layoffs and medical insurance nightmares. In her profession, she uses the metabolic typing and functional diagnostic nutrition method to scientifically design nutrition plans for her clients. Passionate about food, she looks for answers for her own digestive issues and takes a gluten-free approach to whatever she cooks at home. “Most of us aren’t sensitive to gluten because of the wheat, but the pesticides— the glyphosate is so horrific.” You don’t have to be “ridiculously perfect,” Rutledge said. She said her downfall is chocolate caramels from Trader Joe’s, which she said is a sign from her body. She said eating too many carbohydrates elevates your blood sugar, then it dips low. Your body will want it

high again and beg you for more sugar. “Sometimes you’ve just got to order in and be gentle with yourself,” Rutledge said. “Just plan ahead and make sure breakfast is as healthy as it can be.” To be honest, I’ve been having my own moments of quarant-cheating. Buttered toast and coffee are my vices. Yet Rutledge said buttered toast is OK as long as you make the butter the star of the show. “It’s like we just want that fat to really satiate and nourish the body,” she said. “That butyrate in the butter is so nutritious for us.” Alcohol in excess, sugar, processed carbohydrates, processed foods—“those are the things that make your body have an inflammatory response, and it’s going to attack your immune system,” said Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Stephanie Olsen, owner of Sound Body Nutrition in SLO. She said we need to focus on fresh whole foods, and we still need to be striving for six to eight servings of fresh vegetables and fruits. “Keep moving, keep sweating,” Olsen said, adding that exercise gives you an outlet for stress during this time, but also strengthens the immune system. She said garlic and ginger are easy and tasty to add to food, and they are antibacterial. Olsen said you can go the supplement route, but she said the best way to get your vitamin C, for instance, is through food like papayas, kiwi, red bell peppers, and camu camu. “If you wake up, first thing in the morning, have a glass of warm lemon water and a scoop of camu camu powder, you’re going to get a huge boost of vitamin C, and it’s going to be a nice jumpstart for your immune system for the day,” Olsen said. Like her colleagues, Olsen is working from home by the governor’s orders. She’s working on her programs and trying to keep her business afloat. “I feel like this is a time where people could really use a nutritionist or guidance from a nutritionist right now, and it’s rough for us because we can’t see clients one on one. It’s hard for us to connect with the community,” Olsen said. Kathy Kaufmann-Alderete, who owns Nutrition Solutions in Pismo Beach, is a functional medicine nutritionist, certified gluten practitioner, and registered dietitian. She has recommendations for everyone, regardless of the fact that we’re all different. “Viruses and bacteria are very attracted to certain kinds of people. They love people who are, No. 1, dehydrated,” Kaufmann-Alderete said, noting that she meets many people in their 40s and 50s with decreased kidney function because

they don’t drink enough water. She said she’s been busy, as her clients are needing guidance right now in their worries to stay healthy. “The second thing that viruses and bacteria like is if you consume too much sugar and refined carbohydrates,” she said. That means anything that uses white flour. “People who don’t have high-quality protein at every meal are also susceptible to illness,” she said, noting that some of her vegan patients are not getting enough protein to stay healthy because they are not combining their foods correctly to get amino acids. With coronavirus going on, KaufmannAlderete agrees with her colleagues about protecting oneself by eating foods rich in vitamins and nutrients. She also loves to study a pile of labs and make sense of it, and she’s good at explaining how supplementation can help boost the immune system. Kaufmann-Alderete has been following the COVID-19 statistics closely. She’s always learning. When I phoned her, she

and her husband were about to sit and watch a webinar on COVID-19 and the immune system—why some get sick from viruses and others don’t. “Some of the people who are getting the virus, there is a connection with autoimmune, gastrointestinal problems, immunoglobulin deficiencies,” she said. The power to stay healthy is really within ourselves. Food can be such a pleasure—it can bring us comfort in times of isolation and uncertainty, reminding us of good times and fond memories of our lives. But most importantly, the food we eat has the power to naturally heal and ultimately protect us from not one virus, but from the many thousands of them.

Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 1-800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.auction. com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9462-4776. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: It’s a good time to think about Shadow Blessings: https://tinyurl.com/shadowblessings. ARIES (March 21-April 19): “If all the world’s a stage, where the hell is the teleprompter,” asks aphorist Sami Feiring. In my astrological opinion, you Aries are the least likely of all the signs to identify with that perspective. While everyone else might wish they could be better prepared for the nonstop improvisational tests of everyday life, most of you tend to prefer what I call the “naked spontaneity” approach. If you were indeed given the chance to use a teleprompter, you’d probably ignore it. Everything I just said is especially and intensely true for you right now.
TAURUS
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I make mistakes,” confessed author Jean Kerr. “I’ll be the second to admit it.” She was making a joke, contrasting her tepid sense of responsibility with the humbler and more common version of the idiom, which is “I make mistakes; I’ll be the first to admit it.” In the coming weeks, I’ll be fine if you merely match her mild level of apology—just as long as you do indeed acknowledge some culpability in what has gone amiss or awry or off-kilter. One way or another, you need to be involved in atonement and correction—for your own sake.
GEMINI
SAGITTARIUS
(May 21-June 20): I invite you to remember what you were thinking and feeling around your birthday in 2019. Were there specific goals you hoped to accomplish between then and your birthday in 2020? Were there bad old habits you aimed to dissolve and good new habits you proposed to instigate? Was there a lingering wound you aspired to heal or a debilitating memory you longed to conquer? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to take inventory of your progress in projects like those. And if you find that you have achieved less than you had hoped, I trust you will dedicate yourself to playing catchup in the weeks between now and your birthday. You may be amazed at how much ground you can cover.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): I can’t swim. Why? There was a good reason when I was a kid: I’m allergic to chlorine, and my mom wouldn’t let me take swimming lessons at the local chlorine-treated pool. Since then, the failure to learn is inexcusable, and I’m embarrassed about it. Is there an equivalent phenomenon in your life, my fellow Cancerian? The coming weeks might be an excellent time to meditate on how to correct the problem. Now excuse me while I head out to my solo self-administered swim lesson at Bass Lake, buoyed by the instructions I got from a Youtube video.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Is William Shakespeare the greatest author who ever lived? French philosopher Voltaire didn’t think so, calling him “an amiable barbarian.” Russian superstar author Leo Tolstoy claimed The Bard had “a complete absence of aesthetic feeling.” England’s first Poet Laureate John Dryden called Shakespeare’s language “scarcely intelligible.” T. E. Lawrence, a.k.a Lawrence of Arabia, declared The Bard had a second-rate mind. Lord Byron said, “Shakespeare’s name stands too absurdly high and will go down.” His contemporary, the poet and playwright Ben Johnson, asserted that he “never had six lines together without a fault.” I offer these cheeky views to encourage you Leos to enjoy your own idol-toppling and authority-questioning activities in the coming weeks. You have license to be an irrepressible iconoclast.
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you have been thinking of adopting a child or getting pregnant with a new child, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to enter a new phase of rumination about that possibility. If you’ve been dreaming off and on about a big project that could activate your dormant creative powers and captivate your imagination for a long time to come, now would be a perfect moment to get more practical about it. If you have fantasized about finding a new role that would allow you to express even more of your beauty and intelligence, you have arrived at a fertile phase to move to the next stage of that fantasy.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I suggest you make room in your life for a time of sacred rejuvenation. Here are activities you might try: Recall your favorite events of the past. Reconnect with your roots. Research your genetic heritage. Send prayers to your ancestors, and ask them to converse with you in your dreams. Have fun feeling what it must have been like when you were in your mother’s womb. Get a phone consultation with a past life regression therapist who can help you recover scenes from your previous incarnations. Feel reverence and gratitude for traditions that are still meaningful to you. Reaffirm your core values—the principles that serve as your lodestar. And here’s the No. 1 task I recommend: Find a place of refuge in your imagination and memories; use your power of visualization to create an inner sanctuary.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are we just being poetic and fanciful when we say that wonder is a survival skill? Not according to the editors who assembled the collection of essays gathered in a book called Wonder and Other Survival Skills. They propose that a capacity to feel awe and reverence can help us to be vital and vigorous; that an appreciation for marvelous things makes us smart and resilient; that it’s in our selfish interests to develop a humble longing for sublime beauty and an attraction to sacred experiences. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to dive deep into these healing pleasures, dear Aquarius.
PISCES
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo-born Jack Ma is China’s richest person and one of the world’s most powerful businessmen. He co-founded Alibaba, the Chinese version of Amazon. He likes his employees to work hard, but also thinks they should cultivate a healthy balance between work and life. In his opinion, they should have sex six times a week, or 312 times a year. Some observers have suggested that’s too much— especially if you labor 12 hours a day, six days a week, as Jack Ma prefers—but it may not be excessive for you Virgos. The coming months could be a very erotic time. But please practice safe sex in every way imaginable.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): How hard are you willing to work on your most important relationships? How might your life change for the better if you gave them your most potent resourcefulness and panache? The next eight weeks will be a favorable time for you to attend to these matters, Libra. During this fertile time, you will have unprecedented power to reinvigorate togetherness with imaginative innovations. I propose you undertake the following task: Treat your intimate alliances as creative art projects that warrant your supreme ingenuity.
(April 20-May 20): When Nobel Prize-winning Norwegian author Knut Hamsun was 25 years old, a doctor told him that the tuberculosis he had contracted would kill him within three months. But in fact, Hamsun lived 67 more years, till the age of 92. I suspect there’s an equally erroneous prophecy or unwarranted expectation impacting your life right now. A certain process or phenomenon that seems to be nearing an end may in fact reinvent or resurrect itself, going on to last for quite some time. I suggest you clear away any misapprehensions you or others might have about it.

LIBRA
(Feb. 19-March 20): For decades, the city of Sacramento, California, suffered from severe floods when the Sacramento and American Rivers overflowed their banks. Residents authorized a series of measures to prevent these disasters, culminating in the construction of a 59,000-acre floodplain that solved the problem. According to my analysis, the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to plan an equally systematic transformation. It could address a big ongoing problem like Sacramento’s floods, or it could be a strategy for reorganizing and recreating your life so as to gloriously serve your long-term dreams. ∆
