New beds for foster youth to create in-county therapeutic care option

A

shuttered San Luis Obispo County facility will be repurposed into a new avenue of care for local youth in need.

Once underused, the previous crisis stabilization unit at 2180 Johnson Ave. will be equipped with four beds for short-term intensive therapeutic care for foster kids aged 12 to 17 years. Though the proposed facility will prioritize foster youth, all children in the county are eligible to receive services.

The revamp is funded through a $4.6 million contract with Crestwood Behavioral Health—the county’s psychiatric health facility—from July 2026 to June 2028. The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the contract at its June 16 meeting.

“I’ll express my appreciation for the fact that we look at a facility, maybe it’s not working for another purpose, we repurpose it,” 4th District Supervisor Jimmy Paulding said at the meeting. “We fill that gap in the continuum. We know we need the beds for foster youth.”

The contract includes a $3.7 million State Children’s Crisis Continuum Pilot Program grant awarded to the SLO County Department of Social Services and the Behavioral Health Department.

SLO County was one of the eight California counties that received the pilot program grant.

Currently, 168 minors live in foster care along with 50 dependent youth between 18 and 21 years old. Scheduled to arrive in the fall, according to

REWORKED The former crisis stabilization unit at 2180 Johnson Ave. in SLO is poised to become an in-patient facility for foster youth complete with four beds and highly individualized treatment plans.

New federal funds strengthen Atascadero emergency preparedness Atascadero is receiving a $1 million federal investment to equip its new fire station and emergency operations center, a funding boost that the city said will strengthen its ability to respond to wildfires and other large-scale emergencies.

The funding was announced on June 26 as part of a broader federal package of nearly $259 million secured for California projects in the 2026 fiscal year by U.S. Sen. Adam Schiff.

“One of my top priorities in the Senate is protecting Californians from the threat of wildfires and ensuring we do all we can to prepare for and mitigate the risks of all natural disasters,” Schiff said in a statement. “I’m very proud to have secured these federal investments for Central California families.”

Atascadero’s allocation will go toward outfitting the emergency operations center with critical

systems, including reserve power, communications infrastructure, storage capacity, and enhanced security measures designed to keep the facility operational during prolonged disasters.

According to the city, the investment will also directly support the long-term resilience of the new Fire Station No. 1, which is being designed to function as both a modern fire facility and a command center during emergencies such as wildfires, earthquakes, and extended power outages.

The federal funding arrives as Atascadero is in the midst of its Public Safety Facilities Project, a multiphase effort to replace and upgrade aging fire and police infrastructure across the city. On May 12, the city announced the start of construction on the project’s first phase, following six years of planning, engineering design, and community engagement.

“This moment reflects years of thoughtful planning and partnership,” Mayor Charles Bourbeau said in a statement. “Breaking ground on these first facilities is an exciting step forward, and we are incredibly grateful to our community

July 2 - 9, 2026 Behavioral Health spokesperson Caroline Schmidt, the beds eliminate the need for children who need help to leave the county to receive inpatient therapeutic care.

For foster youth, the facility helps when their needs can’t be safely met in a family home setting even when they don’t require inpatient psychiatric hospitalization.

From July 2025 to May 2026, 81 minors were sent out of the county for psychiatric stays, according to Schmidt.

“They stayed a total of 809 days with the average length of each psychiatric hospitalization lasting seven days,” she said. “Otherwise, several of the youth were sent out of county for psychiatric stays more than once in the year.”

The new four-bed facility belongs to a system called Enhanced Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program or E-STRTP. Unlike traditional longer-range STRTP, the short-term stabilization method lasts from 10 to 30 days. It’s anticipated that the proposed county program will serve youth for periods of up to 15 days based on medical necessity.

Schmidt told New Times that multiple county planning efforts, like the 2023 Capstone Consulting youth behavioral health gaps analysis and the 202429 strategic plan, identified the need for expanded youth crisis services.

“From these reports came recommendations that the Behavioral Health Department consider implementing a crisis psychiatric residential treatment program including an STRTP to serve children and youth,” she said. “Youth at the facility will receive highly individualized treatment plans through coordination across child welfare, behavioral health, education, and outpatient service systems.”

Services include individual and family therapy or counseling as clinically indicated, individual rehabilitation, medication support, intensive home-based service, group rehabilitation, plan development, assessment, group therapy or counseling, crisis intervention, case management services, and medication support.

With assessments offered Monday through Friday, the facility will run around the clock. While the exact start date of the facility is unknown, the county now must wait for the contractor to furnish the building, hire and train staff, and apply for the state license to operate the program.

“The new program will support stabilization for youth stepping down from hospitalization and help prevent hospitalization and law enforcement involvement for others,” Schmidt said. ∆ —Bulbul Rajagopal for making it possible through their support of the voter-approved sales tax measure, Measure D-20.”

The first phase includes renovations to Fire Station No. 2 and construction of a new 1,300-square-foot detached building at police headquarters. The upgrades are intended to improve emergency response coordination, modernize outdated facilities, and enhance safety for public safety personnel.

Fire Station No. 1, Fire Station No. 2, and the Police Department will all be impacted by the broader public safety project. Fire Station No. 1 will ultimately be replaced with a new approximately 17,000-to-18,000-square-foot facility on the same site and will house the city’s emergency operations center. Fire Station No. 2 will be modernized to meet current safety and code requirements, while police headquarters will receive interior renovations, upgraded locker rooms and restrooms, expanded office and storage space, and improved operational infrastructure.

Construction is expected to continue through fall 2027.

Arroyo Grande’s measure to buy state water moves to November ballot

Instead of voters casting their ballots to decide whether Arroyo Grande should buy state water every time the city is parched, a measure on the November ballot could stop the back-and-forth once and for all.

On June 9, the Arroyo Grande City Council unanimously adopted a resolution putting a state water ballot measure on the Nov. 3 ballot. If passed by voters, it would effectively repeal two existing measures that have been around for decades combined.

The proposed measure would also authorize the city to buy state water without requiring additional voter approval.

“I think it’s important for the city to have this option to protect the resiliency of the water supply,” City Councilmember Aileen Loe said. “With what we’ve experienced with the Lopez litigation, we can easily see that the water supply might be more vulnerable … in ways we wouldn’t have expected.”

The Lopez litigation refers to the 2024 lawsuit filed by a group of environmental organizations against San Luis Obispo County that claimed the county’s water releases from Lopez Lake were too low to protect steelhead trout under the Endangered Species Act. A federal district court issued a preliminary injunction against the county in December 2024, forcing it to increase water releases from the dam for steelhead. But in December 2025, the 9th Circuit Court ruled in favor of the county when it appealed that injunction order.

Councilmember Jim Guthrie said at the City Council meeting that state water has proven to be more reliable over the years.

Fellow Councilmember Jamie Maraviglia agreed with him that the city needs multiple options for its water needs.

The City Council’s adoption of the resolution comes after its March directive to staff to prepare the proposed measure for the November ballot.

Voting for the proposed measure would undo Measure A and Measure E-16.

Voters approved Measure A in 1990,

resulting in a ban on Arroyo Grande participating in the State Water Project unless the public casts an affirmative vote.

Previous New Times reporting found that people at the time seemingly equated state water purchases with development and population booms.

Measure E-16—a carve-out of Measure A—passed in 2016 and allowed for state water purchases during declared drought emergencies without a citywide vote.

According to city staff, access to state water outside of that emergency would provide the city with more flexibility than what’s afforded now under Measure E-16.

At the June 9 meeting, Loe and Mayor Caren Ray Russom agreed as an ad-hoc committee to write and submit an argument in favor of the proposed measure to the City Clerk for voter information documents.

“I think that it matters what our ballot argument says … because I think it’s really important to explain that in the past, and even now, if you want to buy into the State Water Project, it’s extremely fiscally prohibitive,” Russom said. “That’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about being able to purchase state water from another entity.”

Morro Bay launches e-bike safety campaign

More than a mix-up

SURVIVOR SEARCH After discovering more than 50 videos on 40-yearold Kyle L. Combs’ phone that showed numerous women tanning and using the red-light therapy room at the Arroyo Grande Planet Fitness, local police began a victim identity search that identified 23 women depicted in the secret recordings.

A SLO County law firm served the wrong Kyle Combs in a civil complaint against the Planet Fitness Peeping Tom

T

wenty-seven-year-old Kyle Hunter Combs hadn’t stepped foot in San Luis Obispo County since he moved to Arizona in December 2025.

Six months later, he gained notoriety in his hometown for an alleged crime he didn’t commit. A court complaint stated that he surreptitiously recorded a woman using the tanning facilities at the Planet Fitness branch in Arroyo Grande.

“I was like, ‘This isn’t me,’” Combs told New Times. “And then it had my full name in the documents that they served and had my middle name and everything too.”

In mid-June, Combs’ mother, Grover Beach resident Stacy Combs, received the plaintiff’s complaint—drafted by Frederick Law Firm— from a process server. The server handed Stacy the papers after learning that Combs lives in Arizona.

The lawsuit is the first of two litigations filed by three women against the South County Planet Fitness location. Both complaints allege that a man named Kyle Combs sneaked into the gym’s private tanning rooms and secretly recorded women lounging there.

Both complaints demanded jury trials and sued Planet Fitness and the man named Kyle Combs for negligence, intrusion on the right of privacy, and infliction of emotional distress.

While one of the lawsuits named the defendant as Kyle Combs, Frederick Law Firm’s June 3 complaint specified the alleged perpetrator was Kyle Hunter Combs.

“During one incident, plaintiff saw an arm holding a cellular telephone or similar electronic device pointed toward her body from the side of the tanning bed near the tanning room door,” the Frederick Law firm complaint said. “Once plaintiff noticed the phone, the arm and phone were retracted, and the person left. On information and belief, the person holding the phone was defendant Combs.”

The Arroyo Grande Police Department learned of the crime in December 2025 after someone called to report a man recording a partially nude woman in a tanning booth.

The suspect had fled the scene by the time officers arrived at Planet Fitness. In an April press release, police said they identified a suspect based on witness statements and review of surveillance footage.

Through search warrants served on the suspect’s residence and electronic devices and subsequent forensic analysis, police uncovered more than 50 videos from January 2025 to December 2025 that showed women inside tanning and red-light therapy rooms.

The Police Department confirmed in a press release on June 16 that investigators identified 23 victims seen in the videos.

That press release, circulated the same week Kyle Hunter Combs’ mother was served the complaint, also revealed the identity of the suspect: a 40-year-old Grover Beach resident called Kyle L. Combs.

The press release added that police initially withheld the suspect’s identity to “protect the integrity of the investigation and avoid compromising investigative efforts while investigators worked to identify victims.”

Administrative Sgt. Jeremy Burns told New Times that he wasn’t aware that Frederick Law Firm served the wrong Kyle Combs, since that lawsuit is part of a civil process. The Arroyo Grande Police Department is only involved in the criminal investigation process.

“We have not provided any surveillance footage to Frederick’s Law or any other parties, as our case was just submitted to the SLO County District Attorney’s Office,” Burns said. “We never released a name of the suspect to any law firm, and the only release of the name of Kyle L. Combs, was last week when we sent out the media release.”

As of June 29, Frederick Law Firm’s complaint still incorrectly named the defendant as Kyle Hunter Combs.

Law firm founder William Frederick confirmed he was alerted about the mistaken service issue on June 18.

“That same day, our office acknowledged the issue in writing; advised the individual referenced in your email that he did not need to file anything, take responsive action, or otherwise participate in the matter; and submitted a correction/amendment to the court,” he said via email. “The correction/ amendment is currently awaiting clerk processing/file-stamp. Once the court processes the filing, we will send the filestamped copy to the individual referenced in your email for his records.”

By July 1, an amended complaint listed the defendant as Kyle L. Combs.

“My other son called me and told me, ‘Mom, But the mix-up proved to be distressing for you better be careful. They have your address Arizona-based Combs and his family. He told and they’re saying nasty things online,’” she New Times that he and his mother paid for an said. “I went down to my parents’ house.” online records history service and figured out Since the Arroyo Grande Police there was another Kyle Combs with a different Department released the name of the middle name living in Grover Beach. suspect, local news reports now accurately “I called the lawyer’s office that served the name him as Kyle L.

Mayor Erica Stewart still has a lot to learn

I

immediately liked Erica Stewart when I met her, but I did not vote for her at the time because she lacked experience in government. She appeared to learn quickly, and since then I regularly voted for her. I will not this time.

The fear I slowly developed regarding her conflict of interest between her job at Cal Poly and her tenure as mayor exploded when she shared the grand jury report with Cal Poly employee Courtney Kienow—a violation of the penal code.

Perhaps even more disturbing is Stewart’s lack of understanding of her wrongdoing. In her view, the grand jury had it wrong, and she needed to even the game to be fair. Obviously, Stewart still has a lot to learn.

Another disturbing comment is the name-calling of unhappy neighbors as “the anti-student neighbors” (see thepublicfile. org). It reminds us that the mayor and council members live far away from Cal Poly and have no idea what it is to deal with fraternities and misbehaving students daily.

When you object to students peeing on your lawn, damaging your garden, and keeping you awake till the middle of the night, you are not being “anti-student,” you are being normal.

And you should not have to move out of a cherished home because the city and Cal Poly have decided to ignore the grand jury’s findings.

Templeton deserves its equitable share of county library tax money

Thank state officials for standing up for offshore wind in California

Rural communities are often asked to do more with less. Templeton is no exception.

After the county closed its library in 1979, the Templeton community spent decades working to bring library services back to town. Through years of fundraising, volunteer efforts, local donations, and community support, Templeton ultimately opened its own community library in 2022.

Today, the Templeton Library serves children, families, students, seniors, and visitors. It provides educational programs, lifelong learning opportunities, and a gathering place that strengthens the community.

Yet while Templeton residents continue to pay into the county’s library tax system, the Templeton Library receives no operational funding from the county of San Luis Obispo Public Libraries. The result is that tax dollars generated in Templeton flow elsewhere while local volunteers and donors shoulder the responsibility of keeping their library open.

RHETORIC&REASON

BY JOHN DONEGAN

Angry boomers

I

n yet another generational skirmish, Generation Z is now characterizing us boomers as “angry” for unreasonably resisting their demands that we shuffle off to the graveyard and bequeath them our homes and assets.

Perhaps they are just confusing the term “angry” with the word “no,” which they are apparently just now hearing for the first time.

A piece on the Yahoo! news site on June 21 explored the responses given by boomers to the Generation Z accusation that we are always “angry” despite having had “the happiest lives of any generation.” As we have seen from comments here in the New Times, some of the young accuse us of having had it easy, of hoarding all of society’s wealth, and of taking an irresponsibly long time to die.

I avoid anger myself. Like hatred, anger usually only hurts the holder and doesn’t usually impact the subject. I may get momentarily peeved or annoyed, but it generally evaporates as soon as I turn off the news and tune in to SpongeBob SquarePants or Three Stooges clips. Intense anger or hatred is a terrible burden to bear.

And I always remember that some of my favorite people are good, intelligent younger folks who, although often disagreeing with me, will undoubtedly conquer their “chronological challenges” and gain wisdom as they age. Just as I did.

The boomers who commented offered references to Vietnam and the draft, which

could get you sent off to war and killed or maimed, even if you didn’t want to go.

Imagine that in this day and age.

The constant threat of nuclear annihilation also came up, as did our recessions, skyrocketing inflation, gas lines, assassinations, and riots. We lived under the threat of the polio epidemic, and all knew kids who had contracted it, often distinguishable by leg braces and crutches.

The work environment was different then, as you couldn’t take off “mental health days” just because you felt like it, were expected to be reliable, could easily be fired, and didn’t expect to work from home in your pajamas.

We had some pretty shitty minimum wage jobs, often involving a grill, gas pump, broom, or some uniform. Instead of living at home, we shared an old house with friends to save rent. When we finally bought houses, they were in dicey areas, needed a lot of work, and required far more than the recommended 30 percent of our income.

In distinguishing themselves from the young, some boomers mentioned suffering chronic pain, disease and disability, and the accelerating loss of family and friends to death or dementia. Some mentioned not being praised and affirmed for just doing the job they were paid for or not expecting “trophies,” constant recognition, and affirmation. The term “entitlement” came up.

But after listening to the complaints of the

Growing up with a backdrop like that, it was pretty difficult for us to overlook the suffering and hardships that our parents’ generation had endured and to fail to feel gratitude for our good fortune in living in safer and more prosperous times.

youngsters, it occurred to me that perhaps the biggest generational difference is that we boomers acknowledge the hardships and struggles that our parents’ generation faced and usually recognize how much easier we had it.

World War II had just concluded, with the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, and the wounding of many more.

Living near a VA facility, I recalled seeing disabled veterans, as well as those suffering from “shell shock,” now known as PTSD. Most of the fathers in my neighborhood had served in the military, and many had seen combat and sometimes shared stories of their experiences. A few, such as my father, had been badly wounded and suffered disabilities.

Civilians also suffered hardships and challenges. Food and gas were rationed, many products were not available, and many women were forced to work in the defense industries, both to serve the war effort and to supplement the meager military incomes of their husbands who were serving overseas.

Abroad, the situation was more dire with the Holocaust and the slaughter of civilians.

Many of us had Jewish friends and can recall hearing of the murder of their families in the camps. Today, it is a lot different when someone shows you their tattoo.

Before that, there was the crushing poverty and desperation of the Great Depression.

People were desperate for any work, and hundreds of thousands migrated from the dust bowl to places like California, willing to take any job in order to support their families

THE SHREDDER

Steep steps

W

hoo! Things are so hot in the city of San Luis Obispo right now.

City Councilmember Jan Marx fought with her neighbor over the length of a red curb, and it turned out to be a disgruntled former employee who sued the city for alleged retaliation after he quit his job. What are the chances? Marx said she didn’t know who this neighbor was at the time—former Chief Building Official Michael Loew—and he didn’t sue until after the paint settled on the whole parking issue.

But still, it’s a spicy meatball, amirite?!

Then, Mayor Erica Stewart claimed she did nothing wrong in disclosing an unofficial, confidential, early draft of a SLO County grand jury report about the whole towngown fraternities mess to Cal Poly prior to its release. But showing confidential documents to a third party is illegal, and the grand jury said as much in its final report of the season, so we’ll see what SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow has up his sleeve.

Stewart is running for reelection this year, and the whole fraternities issue has city residents fired up. So, who will be running against this incumbent who just got her hand slapped and has an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to the university?

Anyone? Bueller?

Dow’s got a thing for filing cases and sending tersely worded letters to public officials about their alleged wrongdoing, so I’m sure something will pop up from his office. Just like it finally did with the San

What a mess that whole thing turned out to be, amirite?

After years of allegations about Charles Grace and his company, Grace Environmental Services, which provided all the services for the CSD that he managed, the DA finally sued Grace over conflict-ofinterest issues. The parties settled in 2023, the CSD fired Grace, and he and his company had to pay fines over the whole mess.

“Public officials such as city council members, county supervisors, appointed officials—including general managers—must exercise their authority in a way that upholds the public’s trust,” Dow said at the time.

I would be a little worried if I was Stewart about that whole public trust thing, you know?

After Grace’s fall from grace (Too much?), the CSD that was already living in chaos unraveled at a rapid clip. The new general manager decided that enough was enough: Patrick Faverty pushed the CSD to call for its own dissolution because it couldn’t afford to fund its obligations without raising water and wastewater rates.

And now, the CSD is stuck between its obligations and paying for them—despite its slow march to dissolution that residents hope will end with the county taking over.

Lionel Bart’s beloved 1960 musical Oliver! comes to the Spanos Theatre Friday, July 10, through Sunday, July 12, thanks to OEA Theatrical, an outreach program of Atascadero’s Oakwood Enrichment Academy (ages 7 and older; $35 to $65 tickets at pacslo. org/events/detail/oliver26).

Based on Charles Dickens’ classic 1837 novel Oliver Twist, the musical follows an innocent young orphan who escapes a brutal workhouse for the streets of Victorian London, only to fall in with a group of juvenile pickpockets run by Fagin, an exploitative criminal.

Bart’s musical is filled with memorable songs such as “Food, Glorious Food,” “I’d Do Anything,” “Where is Love,” “You’ve Got to Pick a Pocket or Two,” and “As Long as He Needs Me.” “The goal of the program is to provide high-quality theatrical opportunities for performers of all ages while removing barriers that often prevent participation in the arts,” OEA Theatrical Director Erik Mario Austin said. “Rather than starting small, we decided to launch OEA Theatrical in a big way by producing one of musical theater’s most beloved classics on one of the region’s premier stages.”

The production features “nearly 50 local performers, including approximately 28 children portraying the workhouse children and Fagin’s gang,” Austin added.

‘Surround ourselves with the marvelous’

If you love nature, you’re going to love Gregory Siragusa’s amazing nature and wildlife photography. He’s one of three featured artists for July at Gallery at Marina Square, and his work hangs through July 29 in the Upper Gallery.

“Photography is an opportunity to marvel at all the beauty in the world,” he explained in a statement. “Birds, sunsets, mountains, oceans, each offers a journey into the sublime. The overwhelming beauty of the world provides us with infinite opportunity to discover, to experience, and to truly live.

Ultimately, however, a pursuit of perfection and beauty is superfluous if done without humility, reverence, and an appreciation for gentleness.

“Good photography is not a place; it’s a state of mind, a feeling, a vibe with daily practice.

Wandering the world, with a camera, family or friends, whether near or far, is an opportunity to capture and appreciate the glory of existence. We are all here for a brief moment; we should all take the time to appreciate and surround ourselves with the marvelous.”

The gallery is at 601 Embarcadero, suite 10, Morro Bay, open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

On Saturday, July 11, the public is invited to a 3 to 5 p.m. reception.

A stirring gift DeyoDances holds a free recital

I

n the local dance community, SLO native Lisa Deyo is a legend. She trained under Lori Lee Silvaggio at the Academy of Dance and was a star of the Civic Ballet before moving to NYC to dance with Dennis Wayne’s Dancers, Jean Ann Ryan’s Gotta Dance at the Great America amusement park, the Los Angeles Chamber Ballet, and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago before finally returning to her hometown to form DeyoDances.

In 2006, she won an Art Inspires! Individual Artist’s Grant for choreography and had commissions in Colorado, Virginia, California, and Barcelona. Her ballet Out of Water was one of six finalists in the International Competition of Classical Choreography at the Nouveau Festival International de Danse de Paris 1999.

She’s an incredible choreographer and brings professional dancers to perform locally, and she’s giving away tickets for her company’s upcoming show.

DeyoDances will perform three pieces: What the Hell, Jacques from 2009, Non Troppo from 2009, and the world premiere of Ro-Sham-Beau.

When I attended rehearsal a few weeks ago, Deyo and her dancers were running through Non Troppo.

“The way I originally pictured it was like this agrarian community in the Middle Ages, or it could be a new community on Mars. Doesn’t really matter because the dynamics are basically the same,” Deyo explained. “There’re all different ages and stages of life represented. I have a matriarch, teenagers, village elders, two crazy aunts that are ‘the sky is falling, the sky is falling,’ but they’re usually right. It’s a whole dynamic about coming of age and that wonderfully horrible cloying feeling of being close with a lot of people that you love.”

What the Hell, Jacques is named after her husband, Jacques Deyo, son of Linnaea’s Café founder Linnaea Phillips.

“My family was over dying Easter eggs about 25 years ago,” Deyo explained. “My niece was 7 at the time, and Jacques’ artistic. He gets into it. We were all in the kitchen, and it was totally silent, and he was dripping hot wax onto his Easter eggs, and, and suddenly this little voice goes, ‘What the hell, Jacques?’

I thought it perfectly summed him up, because he’s such an out-of-the-box thinker. Sometimes it’s a good

thing, sometimes frustrating, sometimes amazing.

“I made the piece to express the different facets of our relationship. I brought it back this year because we’re grandparents now, and I had to add a grandparents’ section.”

The new piece, Ro-Sham-Beau, was inspired by Deyo’s worry that children today don’t understand civil society and decorum in uncomfortable situations.

“That’s so terrifying to me,” she admitted.

“I thought, ‘How are young people going to learn that’s even a possibility or to aspire to that?’ I realize the only place it comes from is our earliest, most human-nurtured moments.

None of us would exist if there hadn’t been someone who nurtured and kept that tiny GET WOWED Isabel Cary of San Diego is one of several baby alive. My hope is to tap into that through professional dancers coming to town to perform as part of DeyoDances.

“I was able to start doing this after my parents In this dance, Deyo imagines strangers died, and I got an inheritance,” Deyo explained. gathered in Central Park whose interactions begin “It’s not huge, but it’s enough to cover my expenses benignly before devolving into violence.

Jacques and I have agreed this is important for our hearts and souls and for the into ro-sham-bo and then it gets out of hand. It gets ugly. And everybody disappears. Then the gods from community.”

PG-13 this “girl saving girls” What’s it worth, Anna? Full price sisterhood story takes What’s it worth, Glen? Full price aim at patriarchy and Where’s it showing? Downtown sort of hits its mark.

Centre in SLO Produced by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad, Superman), Gillespie and Nogueira adopt his irreverence, campy humor, and penchant for wounded protagonists. (107 min.)

Glen When we first meet her, Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock), better known as Supergirl, is on an interstellar bender to celebrate her impending 23rd birthday. She’s a hot mess—perpetually drunk or hungover, and sticking to red sun solar systems where her powers wane, allowing alcohol to have its maximum effect. In yellow sun systems, she’s unbeatable, in green sun systems, she slowly dies. She’s in a bar in a red sun planet when she encounters Ruthye (Eve Ridley), whose family has been brutally murdered by Brigands—ruthless human traffickers led by Krem (Matthias Schoenaerts)—setting up a revenge tale that also involves Lobo (Jason Momoa), a mercenary and bounty hunter.

Expect some laughs, some CGI battles, and some cloying emotional manipulations in this summer popcorn flick that’s trying really hard.

Anna Kara may be rough around the edges, but her real kryptonite is her dog, Krypto.

When the Brigands hit him with a poison dart, Kara has three days to track them down and get the antidote that is only worn around their necks. Ruthye’s revenge quest is a bother and not one that Kara’s interested in being a part of, but when the young girl stows away and tags along, Kara can’t help but be protective of the young girl. Not just in physical protection, but mental as well.

h boy, this one’s a doozy. I remember this story popping up back in 2020. I’m sure other true crime junkies will too. Reagan Simmons was a mom-to-be, just a month away from welcoming daughter Braxlynn into the world. Her joy turned to tragedy when Taylor Parker, her wedding and pregnancy photographer, cruelly stole the baby by cutting her from Reagan’s womb, leading to the death of both mother and child.

on her hands, but Kara knows that revenge is nothing more than agreeing to carry a weight for the rest of your life, and Ruthye is too good for that. It’s feminist and sweet, and I’m always a sucker for anyone trying to save a dog (even a CGI one). The villains are gross and evil, and you can’t help but want to watch them get taken down. Our hero is reluctant but also great, and she manages to find a way to be both in a very endearing way.

Glen It’s certainly trying to pass itself off as feminist, but the problem is the only powerful woman is Supergirl. Ruthye is wholly fragile and completely helpless.

The other women depicted are human trafficking victims. And the men? They’re either complete reprobates like the Brigands or total wimps. We do get an origin story told in flashbacks about Kara’s parents and how she ended up following her cousin, Superman (David Corenswet), to Earth.

Another element of the story is about her finally reconciling that Earth is her home.

DC Studios is clearly teeing up a sequel, and

Using body cam footage from police questioning Taylor in the hospital and interviews with those who knew Reagan and those who knew Taylor, this documentary weaves the tragic tale of what’s very clearly the consequences of unchecked mental illness, a lack of guidance, and total delusion.

Taylor pretended to be pregnant, even though those around her knew she’d had a hysterectomy following an ectopic pregnancy and even though she’d already had two children who were not in her care. But people played along, never knowing how far she would go to keep up the lie. Wholly tragic, there’s nothing to feel good about after watching this film, but Reagan deserves to have her name known, and to have people remember her in life, not in the way she died. (94 min.).

—Anna

while this isn’t a great film, it’s fun enough, and Alcock is interesting enough for me to return for another helping.

Anna I thought Alcock’s casting was great—Kara’s a mess, but a badass one, and her dry humor and quick wit make for a fun character. She’s a call back to the sarcastic, sassy mess phase that almost everyone goes through sometime in their early 20s.

It certainly isn’t the film of the year, but if I’m forced to watch superhero flicks every summer, this franchise is a welcome salve to the movies that take themselves and their ridiculous storylines far too seriously. I think tween girls are going to get a kick out of the sassy lead, and she even manages to mentor Ruthye, however reluctantly. But Kara still has a lot of growing up to do herself, and I suspect we’ll follow along that journey with at least one sequel to come. ∆ Arts Editor Glen Starkey and freelancer Anna Starkey write Split Screen.

Block party!

Join your neighbors as Concerts in the Plaza turns 30

E

very summer Friday, Mission Plaza turns into a community gathering spot for people who love live music, cold beers, fine wine, and community vibes, and this Friday, July 3, marks the 30th anniversary of Concerts in the Plaza, a longrunning SLO Town tradition. To celebrate, Downtown SLO has something very special in store when it hosts the 30th Anniversary Block Party with two stages, five bands, six-hours of live music, vendors, and art installations.

Expect the Broad Street dogleg to be closed from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Public and pedestrian access through Mission Plaza, across the Warden Bridge, and on the streets, will not be restricted. Art installations by Mandala Umbra will be constructed. Expect onstage giveaways, a photo booth, line dancing with Nexus Dance. Also, you can access novelty services such as permanent jewelry, hair accessories, and face painting.

The event begins at 1:45 p.m. with a reading of the Declaration of Independence

by SLO City Council members. R&B, classic rock, and oldies band Soul Kool with play from 2 to 3:15 p.m. on the Main Stage. Folk and country act Max MacLaury & The Compromisers follow from 4:15 to 5:30 p.m.

At 6:15 p.m., expect remarks from Mayor Erica A. Stewart, followed by the headliner, Americana rockers Moonshiner Collective.

Meanwhile on the Broad Street Stage, local rock act ghost/monster plays from 3 to 4:30 p.m., followed by the “cosmic mountain music” of Wolf Jett from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

That’s a lot of great acts, but I’m really looking forward to Wolf Jett, which was cofounded in 2020 by lifelong friends Chris Jones (guitar and vocals) and Jon Payne (drums).

Jones is the Tennessee-born frontman with a cool Southern-fried vocal sound. Payne’s drumming is right in the groove pocket.

Their all-original music mixes folk, soul, and Americana, and they’re currently performing with Duncan Shipton (bass), Allyson Makuch (vocals), Rory Cloud (guitar), and Alex Benjamin (keys/percussion).

PHOTO COURTESY OF WOLF JETT

I think my current favorite Wolf Jett song is “Don’t Give Up on Me Now,” on which Jones sings, “One damn thing I know for sure, honey/ This life ain’t over ’til it’s over/ I know that someday we’ll get to see what it all means/ And until I get unlucky I’ll just keep on rolling/ Till I see you on the other side of life/ Don’t give up on me now.”

It’s super hooky.

This whole event promises to be awesome!

LA-based glam indie pop/alternative rock band Second Paloma plays on Tuesday, July 7 (7:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; free). “Second Paloma’s sound sits somewhere between indie pop, art rock, and alternative, with a little alt-country influence—melodic, playful, danceable, and emotionally charged,” bassist Howie Fitzgerald explained in an email.

“We’re currently building toward our first studio releases and using this tour to connect with regional music communities up and down the coast.”

Second Paloma’s debut single, “Camera,” was just released.

Finally, Dizgo plays on Thursday, July 9 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $23.77 at tixr.com).

The band was “born from attic jam sessions between childhood friends Andrew Pickel and Kevin Hinnefeld,” their bio explains.

Their “story began with two guitars, a tape recorder, and a dream—literally. The band’s name came to Hinnefeld in a dream, before their first gig, reflecting the cosmic, boundary-breaking sound they’d soon deliver.”

The Bloomington-based quartet also features Jake Evatt on keys/vocals and Justin Clark on drums.

Chef Tret Toussaint is ramping up culinary offerings at SLO’s Dairy Creek Golf Course

W

ith a year at Marcerro under his belt, Executive Chef and Beverage Director Tret Toussaint is excited to embark on phase 2 of an ambitious hospitality project nearing completion at Dairy Creek Golf Course in San Luis Obispo.

The county-owned nine-hole golf course and Swing Time simulation facility, combined with the restaurant, which opened its doors in July 2025, will be joined by Nightsky Camps in late summer 2026.

Set within the larger 720-acre El Chorro Regional Park, the quartet of offerings will transform the golf course into a comprehensive, ecologically focused resort, with Toussaint leading the culinary component.

“One of the things we’ve been most excited about is creating something at Dairy Creek that feels genuinely connected to the local community, not just a destination for overnight guests,”

PHOTOS BY CHERISH WHYTE

FUN FOR ALL Even non-golfers will appreciate simulated experiences at Swing Time at Dairy Ranch in San Luis Obispo. Food and drinks from Marcerro can be delivered to the facility’s 10 hitting bays, each with seating for up to four guests.

Destination dining

Marcerro, Nightsky, and Swing Time are located at the Dairy Creek Golf Course at 2990 Dairy Creek Road in San Luis Obispo. Stay tuned for the launch of Nightsky in late summer 2026. Marcerro is open Monday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with the bar open until 11 p.m.; and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Happy hour is offered weekdays from 4 to 7 p.m., and breakfast hours will be added once Nightsky opens. For more information, visit marcerro. com, nightskycamps.com, swingtimeslo.com, and dairycreekslo.com.

said Nightsky and Marcerro co-founder David Smith, an Australian expatriate now residing in Los Angeles.

“Marcerro has become a big part of that vision already. We’re inspired by the opportunity to bring locals and visitors together through food, live events, music, and shared experiences.

“Chef Tret’s approach to the menu really reflects that spirit. It’s elevated but approachable, rooted in local ingredients and designed to evolve alongside the property and the seasons.

“As Nightsky Camps opens this summer, we will be working alongside Dairy Creek with a shared focus on serving both the local community and visitors from out of town, becoming an even more integrated outdoor destination on and for the Central Coast.”

Smith and Nightsky co-founder and fellow Australian Anatoly Mezhov, presently based in Carlsbad, nabbed Toussaint, of Paso Robles, as the first team member on the ground in June 2025 to open Marcerro.

Originally from Newport Beach, Toussaint took a circuitous path to his present profession.

“I went the route of psychology first,” he said. “But my family did ignite my passion for food as everyone in my family is well versed in cooking—[from] French to Jamaican.”

After majoring in psychology with an emphasis in cognitive neuroscience at UCLA, Toussaint obtained a culinary degree from Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Art, based in Boulder.

His foundation in classic French technique was complemented by stints as lead line

GOURMET GRUB AND GOLF Guests of Swing Time in San Luis Obispo can enjoy Marcerro specialties such as Tuna Tartare Tacos, featuring yellowfin tuna, mango salsa, avocado mousse, chipotle aioli, and furikake seasoning in a wonton shell.

Whether stopping by for golf, dinner, or a private party, or splurging on an overnight getaway, Toussaint aims to swing high with his evolving menu across distinct venues.

His goals are “to transform and elevate [offerings] for Dairy Creek and usher in a unique and coastal-driven dining experience for our Nightsky Camps,” he said, “while providing an escape and regular spot for locals to enjoy amazing food and drinks.” Δ

Title VI Solicitation Notice The County of San Luis Obispo, in accordance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 252, 42 USC §§ 2000d to 2000d-4) and related regulations, hereby notifies all bidders that it will affirmatively ensure that all bidders will be afforded a full and fair opportunity to submit bids in response to this invitation and will not be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, or national origin in consideration for an award.

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) The requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 including any amendments thereto apply to this contract. It is the policy of the County to practice nondiscrimination based on race, color, sex, or national origin in the award or performance of this contract. The Owner encourages participation by all firms qualifying under this solicitation regardless of business size or ownership.

Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (Federal Minimum Wage) All contracts and subcontracts that result from this solicitation incorporate by reference the provisions of 29 CFR part 201, the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), with the same force and effect as if given in full text. The FLSA sets minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards for full and part-time workers.

The Contractor has full responsibility to monitor compliance to the referenced statute or regulation. The Contractor must address any claims or disputes that arise from this requirement directly with the U.S. Department of Labor – Wage and Hour Division.

Trade Restriction Certification By submission of an offer, the Offeror certifies that with respect to this solicitation and any resultant contract, the Offeror – 1) is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens of a foreign country included in the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR); 2) has not knowingly entered into any contract or subcontract for this project with a person that is a citizen or national of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the USTR; and 3) has not entered into any subcontract for any product to be used on the Federal project that is produced in a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR. This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of America and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to prosecution under Title 18 USC Section 1001.

The Offeror/Contractor must provide immediate written notice to the Owner if the Offeror/ Contractor learns that its certification or that of a subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. The Contractor must require subcontractors provide immediate written notice to the Contractor if at any time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance with 49 CFR 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to an Offeror or subcontractor: 1) who is owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR or 2) whose subcontractors are owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country on such USTR list or 3) who incorporates in the public works project any product of a foreign country on such USTR list.

Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The knowledge and information of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

The Offeror agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate this provision for certification without modification in all lower tier subcontracts. The Contractor may rely on the certification of a prospective subcontractor that it is not a firm from a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by USTR, unless the Offeror has knowledge that the certification is erroneous.

This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making an award. If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may direct through the Owner cancellation of the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the

Owner or the FAA.

LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: CAMERINA PEREZ, aka CAMERINA O. PEREZ DECEDENT CASE NUMBER: 26PR-0213 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: CAMERINA PEREZ, aka CAMERINA O. PEREZ A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by LEONARD PEREZ in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN LUIS OBISPO. THE PETITION OF PROBATE requests that LEONARD PEREZ be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: August 25, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: 4 at the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1050 Monterey St., San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

(This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: August 25, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: 4 at the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1050 Monterey Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 2/9/2016.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, or cash equivalent if deemed acceptable to the trustee, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee.

Silva a single man Recorded: 2/17/2016 as Instrument No. 2016006597 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SAN LUIS OBISPO County, California; Date of Sale: 7/28/2026 at 09:00 AM Place of Sale: At the County of San Luis Obispo General Services Building, 1087 Santa Rosa St., San Luis Obispo, CA 93408. Breezeway facing Santa Rosa Street Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $174,657.82 The purported property address is: 1781 OCEANAIRE COURT, SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA 93405 Assessor’s Parcel No. : 004622-017 All bidders, at the date, time, and place of the scheduled sale, will be required to show satisfactory support to the auctioneer of their ability to pay the amount they intend to bid, unless arrangements have been made with the trustee prior to the scheduled sale. 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 800-2802832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-26-1033790-CL. 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 website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 866-645-7711, or

LEGAL NOTICES visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-26-1033790-CL to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNER-OCCUPANT: Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee’s sale at the address set forth in the below signature block. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE POST-SALE OVER BIDDERS: For post-sale information in accordance with Section 2924m(e) of the California Civil Code, use file number CA-26-1033790-CL and call (866) 645-7711 or login to: http:// www.qualityloan.com. The above statutorily mandated notices to Tenant, Prospective Owner-Occupant, and Prospective Post-Sale Over Bidders are brief summaries of what may be required under Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. Compliance with all relevant provisions will be required. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

LEGAL NOTICES 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 this property.

The required information must be provided to the trustee before a trustee’s deed upon sale will be issued for covered transfers. Additional information regarding these regulations and the required transferee information and certifications can be found at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/08/29/2024-19198/antimoney-laundering-regulations-forresidential-real-estate-transfers and https://www.fincen.gov/rre-faqs#d_5 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.

the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $62,007.18 [10% of the Secretary’s bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $62,007.18 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $612,453.90 as of June 17, 2026, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement. Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

WHAT Hearing to consider a request by Beverley and Susan Pratt / Charles A. Pratt Construction Co., Inc. for a Lot Line Adjustment / Coastal Development Permit (C-SUB2023-00002 / COAL23-0051) to reconfigure the property lines of four existing vacant legal parcels totaling approximately 122.49 acres, currently measuring 0.36 acres, 53.08 acres, 8.72 acres, and 60 acres. The proposed lot line adjustment would reconfigure the property into four vacant parcels: Parcel 1 (6.07 acres; APN 074-021-046), Parcel 2 (3.0 acres; APN 074-021-046), Parcel 3 (3.0 acres; APN 074-021-046), and Parcel 4 (108.62 acres; APNs 074-022-033; 074-021-036, 043, 046; 074-321-047; 074-482-051). The project would not create any additional parcels, and no site disturbance is proposed or authorized. The reconfiguration would cluster the three smaller adjusted parcels (Parcels 1–3) near the terminus of Rodman Drive while maintaining the remaining acreage as a single large Parcel 4, resulting in no increase in density. The parcels are located off Pecho Valley Road and Rodman Drive in the community of Los Osos, within the Residential Suburban land use category in the Southwestern Hillsides Subarea A, south of the Cabrillo Estates neighborhood and in the Los Osos Priority Conservation Area. The parcels are located within the Estero Planning Area of the Coastal Zone.

Also, to be considered at the hearing will be the adoption of the environmental document prepared for this item. The Environmental Coordinator, after completion of the initial study, finds that there is no substantial evidence that the proposed project, limited solely to a Lot Line Adjustment with no authorized site disturbance, would have a significant effect on the environment, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report is not necessary. Any potential future development on the resulting parcels would require separate discretionary review, permit(s), and environmental analysis.

Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and CA Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.) has been issued on May 26, 2026, for this Lot Line Adjustment. Mitigation measures proposed to address Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, and Mandatory Findings of Significance are included as conditions of approval.

County File Number: C-SUB2023-00002 Supervisorial District: District 2 Assessor Parcel Number(s): 074-021-047 (+ 5 more) Date Accepted: 5/14/2025 WHERE The hearing will be held in the Katcho Achadjian Government Center, Board of Supervisors Chambers,1055 Monterey Street, Room #D170, San Luis Obispo, CA. The Board of Supervisors Chambers are located on the corner of Santa Rosa and Monterey Streets. At the meeting all interested persons may express their views for or against, or to change the proposal.

Free Will Astrology

by Rob Brezsny Homework: We’re halfway through 2026. How are your big projects progressing? tinyurl.com/zzz333xxx333 ARIES

(March 21-April 19): Archaeologists studying ancient wells have discovered that some weren’t finished in a single effort.

Communities might dig to the current water table, use the well for years, then probe farther down when water levels dropped or needs increased. This is a useful metaphor for you, Aries. As of yet, you don’t have the ability or tools to reach the deepest layers you aspire to reach. My counsel is to go as far as you can now and gather what you find there. Later, when you’re readier, you will build on what has come before.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): The doom-and-gloom wing of astrology is exhausting. The superstition that Mercury retrograde causes scrambled messages and dire mix-ups is dull and misguided. The planet’s apparent backward motion, which is happening right now, shows up about three times every year like clockwork. It’s perfectly normal! In my view, Mercury retrograde isn’t threatening unless you obsess on the idea that it is, in which case, yes, your payment might go astray, and a friend may misunderstand you. But if cultivating relaxed clarity is more fun and productive for you than coping with fearful tension, treat the time between now and July 23 as a rich opportunity to refine, deepen, and upgrade how you communicate.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): You Gemini readers have decreed that I must halt all musings about maddening, riddle-drenched ambiguity. You’ve delivered the message to me that you’re tired of wrestling with enigmas wrapped in paradoxes.

Straightforward, plainspoken factualness is what you want.

Well, OK. (Please remember that I don’t make this stuff up; I simply channel cosmic omens.) Maybe I’ll start obeying your orders next time. But first, I will advise you: 1. Unexpected gifts are coming from people and situations in transition. 2. Tough but friendly interventions will nudge you toward healthy course corrections. 3. Mysterious assistance is on its way.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): There are phases when the cosmic energies and I urge you to put others first—even tend to their pain before you tend to your own. But this isn’t one of those times.

Right now, sacrificing yourself for the sake of others would obstruct the flow of righteous grace into your life. So then what is the most soul-honoring path available? Here’s what I think: Summon your inventive brilliance and use it to imagine generous ways to care for yourself. Shower yourself with gifts, treats, and blessings that delight you. Take the loving care you so deftly pour into other people and lavish it wholeheartedly on yourself.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Most fields of human endeavor work like this: A few people are truly brilliant, a handful are actively harmful, and the majority fall somewhere between “not great” and “pretty good.” That’s true whether you’re talking about engineers, doctors, poets, or astrologers. So it’s inadvisable to assume a physician is wise about your well-being just because they’ve logged 15 years on the job, or to trust your life direction to the first astrologer whose promotion catches your eye. In the coming weeks, dear Leo, discernment like this matters even more than usual. Let your natural hopefulness be balanced by sharp, thoughtful judgment. Don’t just challenge obvious authority. Put every so-called fact, spin, assumption, and official line under your own clear-eyed review.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Architects designing spaces for collective use try to balance two human needs: to see expansively and also have safe places to retreat. Too much exposure creates anxiety; too much enclosure brings claustrophobia. The ideal is to provide both shelter and spaciousness. Let’s use this theme as a metaphor for your life during the coming months. You’ll be wise to create an equilibrium between engagement and privacy, between vastness and protection. Make it easy for yourself to observe the larger scene and also withdraw when needed.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Self-proclaimed “skeptics” love to sneer at astrologers, as if pondering what lies ahead were a violation of scientific purity. And yet economists, sports analysts, trend watchers, and political commentators churn out shaky predictions every day. Honestly, those professionals of probability often create more confusion than those of us who read the heavens. Take weather forecasters, for instance: From Europe to Japan, their models routinely miss sudden floods and twisters and trigger more than a few false alarms.

But do the debunkers brand them as charlatans? Of course not. Forgive the outburst, but I’m building to a key foresight: Every forecast, projection, or vision that crosses your path over the next month will miss the mark—except for this one.

So free yourself of their meddling.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Ethnobotanists describe how certain Indigenous traditions work with “teacher plants.” These are flora that offer not only physical benefits but spiritual instruction. They include psychoactive substances, but also ordinary plants approached with extraordinary attention. In the spirit of reinventing your education, Scorpio, I invite you to expand your understanding of who and what your teachers are.

What ordinary elements of your daily life might offer wisdom if you engage them with deep respect? What situations at the edges of your awareness could bring lessons that enrich your perspectives? Now is an excellent time to seek new apprenticeships.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Western science and Western religions may disagree about how the universe began, but both place its birth in the distant past. Tantra and other spiritual paths, by contrast, propose that the universe is born afresh in every instant through the sacred, erotic interplay of God and Goddess. When humans approach lovemaking as an experimental sacrament, these traditions suggest, we can tune in to the union of those primordial forces and, in a sense, take part in the continual creation of existence. So, are you ready for a bit of worldmaking erotic play? The current astrological indicators say yes, you are.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A common obstacle to healthy intimacy is the belief that a beloved ally should automatically know what you need, without you saying a word. I used to suffer from this delusion myself and worked hard to dissolve it. I no longer unconsciously assume that my companions are so attuned to me that they can always intuit my desires.

But I know this bad idea feels romantic to many people, even though it can sabotage even the most promising bond.

In the weeks ahead, Capricorn, I invite you to starve this fantasy. Your intimate world is ripe for a fresh infusion of lucid, straightforward honesty.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your next few weeks will be sponsored by CoffeeBeer, the paradoxical elixir that both pumps up your energy and decompresses your defenses. You will be an exemplary role model for this innovative product because you will epitomize what occurs when a sensitive soul gets excited and mellows out at the same time. I also expect you will soon be exploring intriguing opportunities that become available to you because of your supercharged calm. Fortunately, you don’t need to drink actual coffee and beer together to make this happen. The cosmic forces will be conspiring to help you.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): Finish this sentence, Pisces: “The one thing that really keeps me from being myself is _______.” Is it someone’s opinion, an old story about who you are, a fear of loss, a habit of over-pleasing, a secret shame, or a belief that you’re “too much” or “not enough”? Whatever first pops into your mind is probably closest to the truth. Here’s your next step: Loosen the grip of this stressor by even just 20 percent. I bet your real self will feel relaxed enough to bloom more fully. ∆
