Rally at Lucia Mar counters calls to change policy around trans students

rue to their words at the previous school board meeting, parents upset about the presence of transgender students in sports and locker rooms that align with their identified gender spoke out once more at the latest Lucia Mar Unified School District meeting. This time, they were opposed by a 300-person rally in support of trans students’ rights. “I just wanted to be there as a minister of a religious community to let trans students know that there were religious communities that were fully in support of their rights,” Rev. Rod Richards of Unitarian Universalists San Luis Obispo said. Ahead of the school board’s May 6 meeting, scores of people like Richards, Rabbi Micah Hyman of Congregation Beth David, and Episcopal priest and Community of Divine Love founder Rev. Greta Ronningen mobilized in front of the district office to defend trans students’ rights. The South County Democratic Club of SLO County organized the gathering. Ronningen said she also feels compassion for those who “feel threatened” by trans students in spaces like gendered sports categories and locker rooms. During public comment at the May 6 meeting, she suggested appointing a restorative justice facilitator—an alternative to “parents yelling at each other.” “There’d be someone who would work with the girls who feel violated by having trans [students] in their sports and in their locker room,” she told New Times. “There’d be a facilitator who would work with [them] and … the trans athletes. … Then there’s this listening circle where everyone comes together and is able to express their feelings without it being volatile.” The rally—and dozens of public comments at the board meeting that followed—was a response to a group demanding that the school district comply with executive orders signed by President Donald Trump. His orders involve “keeping men out of women’s sports” and “defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government.” Not making the policy switch from state law to step in line with the new federal guidelines could mean parent lawsuits against Lucia Mar, according to several dissatisfied speakers at the school district’s April 15 meeting. Most of those attendees spoke at the behest of a flyer written by Harvest Church ministry director Shannon Kessler, scrutinizing a specific trans student athlete in the district. That student spoke anonymously for safety concerns at the May 6 meeting, calling on the

RALLY CRY Organized by the South County Democratic Club, the May 6 rally ahead of the Lucia Mar school board meeting supported the rights of trans students with chants like, “It’s love, not hate, that makes America great.”

board to protect queer students from alleged daily harassment. “Worse still, the danger doesn’t only come from other students,” she said. “Individuals like Shannon Kessler, [former Arroyo Grande mayoral candidate] Gaea Powell, and [Lucia Mar board member] Mike Fuller are using their platforms to spread harmful misinformation and hateful rhetoric. They’re even involving members of the track team, handing them scripts designed to dehumanize and intimidate queer youth.” Fuller didn’t respond to New Times’ request for comment. Since the April 15 meeting, Kessler has made comments about the district policy as the leader of Save Girls’ Sports Central Coast. She told New Times that the organization is hers alone and isn’t affiliated with any church. Kessler didn’t respond to New Times’ other questions by press time. Calls to change school districts’ trans student policy aren’t restricted to Lucia Mar. A petition from California Parents for Change—shared by the SLO County chapter of Moms for Liberty—issued a countywide protest starting April 28 for kids to be absent from school once a month until local school districts adhere to federal guidelines.

It’s unclear how many parents participated. Lucia Mar spokesperson Amy Jacobs told New Times that attendance on April 28 was higher than normal at nearly 97 percent. Lucia Mar’s average attendance this year has been around 93 percent. Atascadero Unified School District board member and local Moms for Liberty Vice Chair Rebekah Koznek clarified that Moms for Liberty didn’t create the petition, but it was shared on the group’s Facebook by concerned North County parents. While she added that Atascadero hasn’t had comments about trans student athletes at recent meetings, Koznek confirmed she attended Trump’s Feb. 5 signing of the executive order that aims to prevent trans women from participating in female sports. “I was personally invited by the White House since I am named in a lawsuit that was suing the Biden administration against the 2024 changes to Title IX, filed in the 10th District Court, that allowed men/boys to compete against women/girls in sports,” she said. “I also support a third category for trans athletes for them to also have equal opportunity to compete in sports.” ∆ —Bulbul Rajagopal

Huot told New Times that he sees this as an exciting opportunity to advance the City Council’s goals, enhance organizational stability, and improve the city’s customer service. He was appointed as the assistant city manager in 2022 and as the interim city manager in 2024 and said his experience helps him to start work immediately. “That’s given me a really great opportunity to get to know our staff and get to really dive deep into the operations,” he said. “So, I speak a lot about those goals, and I speak a lot about the alignment between council and staff because it’s really important to make sure we have clear and measurable objectives, and we’ve got clear priorities that we’re trying to

achieve. So that’s kind of the big picture.” Huot’s appointment followed former City Manager Ty Lewis’ retirement in January, when Lewis and the city reached a mutual settlement over Lewis’ August complaint against sitting Councilmember Bausch for allegedly creating a toxic work environment and causing Lewis to go on medical leave. Huot stepped in as interim city manager during Lewis’ absence from August to November 2024. “I’m not coming in as a new city manager, per se, in terms of having to get to know the organization. I’ve got a little bit of that background already, which is really exciting for me, because it allows me to

Paso Robles names new city manager

The Paso Robles City Council officially appointed Chris Huot as its new city manager. Huot most recently served as the city’s interim manager amid controversy between the former city manager and a current City Council member. In a 4-1 vote, the City Council voted on May 6 to appoint Huot as city manager, with Councilmember Chris Bausch opposed, for a four-year term and an annual base salary of $269,000. At the meeting, Bausch didn’t say why he voted that way, and he didn’t respond to New Times’ request for comment on his vote.

kind of start in a bit different of a spot than maybe some others that would come into the position brand new in terms of goals,” he said. Despite Lewis’ retirement, the controversy lingers, with The Tribune filing a lawsuit against Councilmember Bausch and the city in March, alleging that the two violated the Public Records Act by not turning over documents The Tribune requested in its attempt to uncover what happened. Bausch responded with a lawsuit of his own against The Tribune and the city, and the city, in turn, filed a suit against Bausch. Huot said his intentions for the future are not to focus on these issues, but to focus on the city’s service to its residents. “No matter what is happening really anywhere in the world, or anywhere in the community, roads still need to be repaved and repaired, 911 calls still need to be responded to, we have wastewater that needs to be treated, garbage that needs to be picked up—and all that still needs to happen at a really high level,” he said. “And so, my focus, especially during my interim stance, was to make sure that our staff understands that continuity of services … that the city provides, that’s where our focus will remain.” —Libbey Hanson

San Miguel discusses dissolving its community services district

The San Miguel Community Services District (CSD) board recently mulled over the pros and cons of dissolving after a written public comment requested that the district give its services up to the county. “Given the current operational landscape, I believe that transitioning these responsibilities to the county would result in more efficient, cost-effective, and transparent governance for our community,” the letter from George Campbell said. “By dissolving the district and reintegrating with the larger organizations, we can ensure that San Miguel continues to receive high-quality services without the burden of maintaining a separate administrative entity.” At its April 17 meeting, the board decided to quash the idea after District Manager Kelly Dodds said that the cons outweighed the pros. While the pros listed administrative and operational services being consolidated, which would result in a reduction of expenses related to a local office, Dodds said the cons

would mean there would be no personnel to respond to customer service-related issues; no local control over water, wastewater, and fire; as well as less control over spending and rate changes. Those decisions would be handed over to the county and the Board of Supervisors. “One of the things I’m most proud of is our ability to work with customers—our customer service and dealing with customer issues,” Dodds told the board. “Every day, without fail, we have someone calling in with a problem that maybe we can solve, maybe we can’t, but we can help them and figure out how to solve it.” Dodds added that if the CSD dissolved and San Miguel residents wanted to provide public comment in person about service issues, they would have to travel to the SLO County Board of Supervisor chambers during the day. Dodds said he doesn’t think the county would focus on the small community as much as it does other areas. “Time and time again, I have seen the county has prioritized certain areas over other areas for political or other reasons,” he said. “San Miguel has been a unique little spot because we are a disadvantaged community, so while the county could apply for grant funding, … it’s a little more difficult for them to provide because it’s only for San Miguel because the county itself is not disadvantaged.” Overall, Dodds said the district was financially and operationally well off and “divesting just to get rid of [the district] doesn’t make any sense.” Board member Ashley Sangster brought up San Miguel’s neighboring San Simeon CSD, which is currently in the dissolution process of potentially giving its services back to the county. Dodds said San Simeon’s financial and operational needs were dire, unlike San Miguel. Residents shared similar sentiments to Dodds’ and urged the board not to consider giving up its control to the county. One speaker said she wouldn’t feel safe losing the district’s local fire department, and that county response times would take too long. “We need our fire department to be local,” she said. “Keep it under our control.” Another resident told the board that it knew how to run the district and to “ignore that letter.” Board member Brendin Beatty said he couldn’t stand to listen to the idea and would always vote to “have control within people I am around.” Board member John Green said he wasn’t sure if he would support dissolving and felt

COMMENTARY

➤ Rhetoric & Reason [11] ➤ Shredder [12]

BY MANDY DAVIS

Politicized and co-opted The REACT Alliance was denied a booth at SLO EarthFest

very year I have looked forward to getting together with my Earth- and ocean-loving friends to celebrate our love of and commitment to a healthy and sustainable future. We all tabled booths, learned openly from each other, listened to music, and danced the celebration of our interconnection and our joy at the beauty of life on a healthy planet. Sandra Marshall was inspirational as an organizer and a leader, remaining open to all aspects of environmental exploration and steering clear of judgement and censorship of ideologies and information honestly proffered to the public. Sadly, all of that has changed in an indication of a sign of the times—extreme bipartisanship, blatant censorship of opposing and valid viewpoints, and the wholesale co-opting of what once was a thriving environmental movement. A movement where infant NGOs really protected the earth at all costs instead of

selling out to huge “green” industries with empty promises of “renewable, sustainable, and environmentally sound” energy sources. This year, SLO EarthFest, with the SLO Climate Coalition and EcoSlo at its helm, undermined the historic impetus behind the Earth Day celebration and have made it their own public opportunity to push a politically and industry driven agenda; one that is clearly noted in their online agenda, mission statement, and demands of all participating vendors. EarthFest is no longer a forum for celebration of working toward Earth’s thrive-ability. Instead, it is exclusionary, focused on a specific agenda backed by political entities, wind energy corporations, coalitions, and well-funded “environmental” NGOs pushing for an unrealistic, and unattainable net-zero energy agenda that, according to one set of data, will help mitigate a coming “climate catastrophe.” In their minds there is no room for opposing views and valid supportable information that invites a different conclusion than their own. Most certainly there is no room to allow for any input from other environmental NGOs that oppose the implementation of these bogus “renewable” industries.

REACT Alliance was formed two years ago to assure that Earth-friendly energy sources are implemented on the Central Coast and to oppose offshore wind after extensive research into the viability of the technology. Last year we applied for and graciously received approval to provide information in a booth as a caring and important voice in our community at the Earth Day celebration. This year we were summarily turned down with this response: “After careful consideration, the EarthFest Advisory Committee has decided to decline your application for a booth at this year’s event. While we welcome diverse perspectives on offshore wind development and other sustainability topics, our commitment to fact-based dialogue and responsible information sharing is paramount. Given REACT Alliance’s history of spreading misinformation, as well as the presence of misleading information currently on your website, we are unable to approve your participation.” In other words, we don’t agree with you and won’t tolerate any opposition accordingly. To state the presence of misinformation without any specificity is a cheap shot. This year’s EarthFest was a thinly disguised attempt to guide the public into an uncontested and one-sided view of what is truly sustainable and Earth friendly by a co-

opted group of climate activists, ill-informed public officials, and a whole slew of folks who have been financially and politically motivated to support an industry that will forever decimate our coastal environment both onshore and offshore. Earth Day has sadly been politicized and co-opted by EarthFest here in SLO County. It is no longer the open and joyful celebration of diversity within a community that is working to better a beleaguered Earth and to find truly long-term ecologically viable solutions. It has become a vehicle to drive an agenda and to undermine intellectual curiosity and information sharing. It is the ultimate example of how much our society is guided by divisiveness, politicization, and a desire to censor and demean. I ask all of you who remember what Earth Day truly is at its core to challenge this new direction and to recommit to being a true environmental warrior. Live your lives according to an ethic that makes you personally responsible for your footprint on this Earth. Stay intellectually open and curious and fight like hell for the health of our Earth and her oceans. ∆ Mandy Davis is the president of the REACT Alliance.

LETTERS What does the term ‘antisemitism’ mean? In both the local and national press, the term “antisemitism” has been used without regard to context, so the term has become vague and almost useless. Most people would agree that at the march in Charleston, South Carolina, when people yelled, “Jews will not replace us!” that was antisemitic. When Musk made a gesture that looked like a Nazi salute, that might possibly

be considered antisemitic. But what is wrong with the discussion about campus protests is that protests against the Israeli government’s military actions in Gaza are equated with antisemitism. They are not the same thing. Many Jewish people like myself are appalled at the destruction of homes, schools, hospitals, etc., and death of more than 50,000 people in Gaza. However, we are also horrified at what Hamas did in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and its ongoing refusal to release the hostages

RHETORIC&REASON

BY JOHN DONEGAN

Over the edge

n what may be an ill omen for liberal orthodoxy, noted political weather vane and likely 2028 presidential candidate Gavin Newsom recently declared that requiring women to compete against men in sports is “deeply unfair.” Gasps of dismay and shrill charges of betrayal emanated from the usual suspects in the Democratic ranks, as the LGBTQ-plus poster boy who championed same-sex marriage in San Francisco, broke ranks with the progressive wing of the party. While perhaps driven by political opportunism, could perhaps a bit of introspection and pragmatism be emerging in the Democratic party? Will we see ambitious Democrats heading for the “lifeboats” as the Democratic Titanic continues to sink? The Trump campaign ad most often mentioned as being especially effective has been the “they/them” jab at the Democrats’ embrace of the transgender agenda, a position that has been often cited as illustrating the party’s break with the values of most of the country. In my September 2023, column I predicted a growing rift between feminists and transgender advocates over women’s sports and men in women’s spaces. The conflict has developed into game forfeitures, activism by student athletes, and a political upset. Many Democrats have privately admitted to

disagreement with the party over women’s sports, although few have been willing to publicly break with the party and risk social and political ostracism. As Democrats have often pointed out when dismissing the issue’s importance, it effects only a small number of athletes nationwide. So, why the opposition among moderate voters? First, observational data. Accepting the liberal dogma that men have no biological advantage over women in most sports requires embracing an Orwellian fiction that is readily disproven just by considering the respective athletic performances. We cannot accept that subjective feelings and emotions have control over objective biology. As the famous “Brandon” meme demonstrated, the public does not respect an obvious lie. We find it insulting. Second, people then wonder why they are being ordered to observe a new article of faith that they know to be false, and why so few in the Democratic party have the courage to challenge it. The answer is fear of being thrown out of the liberal “tribe” for straying. In November 2024, Liberal celebrity scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson created quite a stir on Bill Maher’s show by refusing to distance himself from the outlandish claim in Scientific American that the performance differential between male and female athletes was caused by systemic social bias, not

biology. If even a scientist is not willing to defy his party’s mandated “truth,” who will? Third, the use of mandated fictions evokes George Orwell, in which something becomes “true” simply because it is decreed to be so by those in power. This sort of authoritarianism scares many people. Asking the party membership to buy into the trans position on athletics and other gender issues was simply a bridge too far and alienated moderates who otherwise might have been willing to bury their misgivings and vote for the progressive Kamala Harris. Hatred of Trump can only take you so far. Probably more than any other issue, it vividly illustrated the vast disconnect between the Democratic leadership, and most of the American people. The young college progressives and urban hipsters who seem to serve as the ideological spirit guides for the party do not represent most voters. Will the Democratic party be able to reform itself and rethink their embrace of these politically costly outlier causes? I am doubtful. Obviously, pragmatic politicians like Newsom can, and likely will, deftly reposition themselves, hoping to ride a wave of moderation into the White House. But many of the party faithful have emotionally absorbed and embedded these stances into their worldview and may not be ideologically agile enough to reverse course. An issue that most had never even considered until relatively recently has now become sacred political dogma and “a hill that they are willing to die on.” The Democrats have trapped themselves.

By previously loudly and hyperbolically defining the trans agenda as a “civil rights issue,” and by viciously attacking nonbelievers, they have eliminated their ability to walk away from the cause. To them, it would be like Dr. Martin Luther King announcing that he was abandoning “all that equal opportunity stuff” in order to move on to new things. You can’t be seen discarding what you proclaim to be a moral imperative just because it is politically untenable. Abandoning what they see as a righteous cause would be too shameful to endure. And transgender advocates are unlikely to let them just ignore the issue. ∆ John Donegan is a retired attorney in Pismo Beach who is scared of high places.

THE SHREDDER

Good for nothing

hat is government good for? Screwing up everything. Think I’m being hyperbolic? Look at the state of things. We have Cal Poly’s president—one of three university administrators called to testify before Congress—talking about antisemitism and Palestinian protests on campus in front of a congressional committee in Washington, D.C. Of all the prominent California universities that had issues with protests to make an example of for the political win, why Cal Poly SLO? Not only that. The entire California State University system is now requiring protesters ask permission before protesting thanks to new rules implemented at the beginning of the school year (that’s an exaggeration, but it’s pretty close!). UCLA seems like a much more obvious choice: That campus was hit way harder by the protests, which were allowed to set up encampments on campus, and experienced actual violence between protesters, by protesters. But I guess the chancellor who oversaw all of that resigned, so who are the politicians going to call? Jeffrey Armstrong! He’s good at sticking his foot directly in his mouth when it comes to addressing students on campus, but is excellent at groveling to the powers that be. Free speech is definitely, definitively on the way out, and Armstrong is in the Capitol. Thanks, Trump! Lucia Mar Unified School District has

become a rallying cry for both extremes in the debate over transgender athletes, with hundreds of people showing up at the district’s May 6 meeting to make their voices heard on the issue. All of the hullabaloo is over one female track athlete who had a big complaint about her transgender teammate. Now, it’s going to be impossible for a school district to mediate between aggrieved parties the way it should be able to. Because the world is watching, and the pressure is on thanks to Fox News. I’ve got to hand it to the transgender athlete, who spoke up during the May 6 meeting. After the shit they’ve been through over the last three weeks, I can’t image what it takes to stand up and speak—even anonymously. “The danger doesn’t just come from other students,” she said. “Individuals like Shannon Kessler, Gaea Powell, and Mike Fuller are using their platforms to spread harmful misinformation and hateful rhetoric. They’re even involving members of the track team, handing them scripts designed to dehumanize and intimidate queer youth.” Powell is the transphobic former Arroyo Grande mayoral candidate who basically showed porn during public comment at a SLO County Board of Supervisors meeting last year. She’s a real piece of work. I should have written that in all caps.

Arts ARTIFACTS The power of open spaces

The Central Coast State Parks Association (CCSPA) will screen the 75-minute documentary Out There: A National Parks Story at the Fremont Theater on Friday, May 23 (5 p.m.; $27.78 at prekindle. com). The film follows filmmaker Brendan Hall’s 10,000-mile road trip through the U.S. national parks with his childhood friend and tells the stories of the people they meet along the way. According to CCSPA Executive Director Sierra Emrick, they’re screening the film “to inspire locals and visitors to connect with, respect, and protect our parks. San Luis Obispo’s open space agencies, including state, county, and city parks and recreation departments, as well as local nonprofits that manage and steward these lands, will be present at the theater. It is a beautiful film, and I encourage you to watch the trailer (centralcoastparks.org). The night will be much more than a film screening.” From 5 to 6 p.m., guests will have the chance to “shop” park experiences, career opportunities, and get involved in supporting local parks thanks to the open space agencies in attendance. A discussion panel with the filmmaker and local park representatives follows. The evening also includes the film’s music composer Elizabeth P.W. and musician Dylan McKinstry performing live.

What’s black and white and weird all over?

You can peel back a layer of the Storie Grubb mystery in the artist’s new Studios on the Park show of black and white illustrations, In Your Dreams, hanging through June 29 in the Paso Robles nonprofit. Grubb—who on his Facebook page sometimes interviews himself disguised as his female alter ego Nan Nan Pearl, or appears in YouTube ArtClub with Storie Grubb videos as ukuleleplaying jingoistic über-American Blyte Chokum (Think Dwight Yoakum)—makes detailed, stream-of-consciousness drawings in a style reminiscent of R. Crumb. Is Storie Grubb the artist/ musician’s real name or another alias? No clue, but he says his work is, “Where reality meets fantasy. Where humor absorbs tragedy. Where art imitates life. Where my hand meets pen to paper.” There’s a second artist’s reception on Saturday, June 7 (6 to 9 p.m.), featuring live music and wine available for purchase. You can view the exhibition Sunday through Thursday from noon to 4 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from noon to 9 p.m. ∆ —Glen Starkey

An actor’s dilemma SLO REP’s I Hate Hamlet is filled with laughs and heart

o play Hamlet or not to play Hamlet? That’s the question hanging over television star Andrew Rally (Ben Abbott), who’s moved to New York to “take a class or two” after his TV series L.A. Med is canceled. At his agent Lillian’s (Patty Thayer) urging, he tries out for a Shakespeare in the Park production of Hamlet, and surprisingly gets the role. Is he up for it? His chaste girlfriend Deirdre (Madison Shaheen) thinks it was meant to be, especially after his real estate agent, Felicia (Dori Duke), secures him a Greenwich Village apartment formerly occupied by John Barrymore (Billy Breed), one of the all-time greatest actors to play Hamlet—who shows up in ghost form to “inspire” Andrew. Andrew’s stressful situation worsens when an old Hollywood friend, Gary (Jeremy Helgeson), arrives with an offer of another TV series and a fat paycheck. Written by Paul Rudnick while he was occupying Barrymore’s NYC apartment, the play premiered on April 8, 1991, in Walter Kerr Theatre. SLO REP’s new production, directed by R. Michael Gros, is set in the ’70s and is delightfully funny and deeply entertaining. “It’s a love story for theater people, and particularly for actors,” Gros explained. “To find both an homage to the profession that I love and those who make it their life, and to laugh—because, goodness knows, we all need some laughs right now—has been joyous.” One of the play’s themes examines the difference between stage and TV acting. “Andrew is a television actor, and there are some delightful lines about what qualities are required of a television actor,” Gros noted. “At one point he says, ‘Sometimes I wonder if I didn’t show up to work one day and they just put my poster in, would they even notice that I’ve gone.’” Breed as Barrymore has his work cut out for him. After all, he’s playing a larger-than-life character. “I’m not trying to do a direct impression, but there are some elements I’ve taken from the historical Barrymore,” Breed explained. “The way he spoke—it’s called a transatlantic accent—actors were trained in this during this period.

He has to play the character more naturalistically. He’s a smarmy, moneygrubbing near caricature played with astounding energy by Helgeson, who’s an a man riddled with self-doubt. absolute hoot. His character can see Barrymore, “It’s about a TV actor who, especially back but he’s too much of a dilettante to understand his when this was written, [was] much less respected,” Abbott explained. “There’s this dichotomy between importance.

Glen For a superhero flick, Thunderbolts has a lot on its mind. When we meet these antiheroes, they’re lone wolves. Yelena feels unfulfilled, like she’s just going through the motions as de Fontaine’s cleaner, kicking, punching, and shooting her way through one assignment after another. De Fontaine is under investigation, so she’s scurrying to tidy up all her improprieties. The last thing she needs to clean up are her cleaners, which is how our team meets. They’re supposed to take each other out, but instead they team up to escape and get their revenge. Along the way, we discover they all had abysmal childhoods, which is why they’re so maladjusted. They share a deep need for belonging, and they’re tired of being the bad guys. These antiheroes yearn to become actual heroes. Anna This is a superhero flick I can get behind. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, it has jokes, and it’s really just a story of a bunch of misfits who find each other. When the crew all show up at Valentina’s secret underground compound filled with all of Project Century’s dirty little secrets, they soon put together that the whole plot was to wipe each other out. There’s Walker, an off-

brand Captain America; Ava Starr, who can pull one hell of a disappearing act; and Bob (Lewis Pullman), a confused civilian who doesn’t exactly know why he’s there. After a crash-boom-bang escape from the facility, the two are joined by Bucky and Alexei, who is Yelena’s washed-up super-soldier dad. I get so bored with fantasy films that ram hard into the drama and seriousness of it all. Aren’t these movies supposed to be fun? Well, Thunderbolts succeeds there. I will happily watch this franchise. Glen These are sympathetic characters who suffered in their lives, and we want them to succeed. Bob is especially sad. In fact, his sadness turns him into a villain called Void, who begins swallowing up the city in darkness. Not only does this team of heroes need to defeat de Fountaine, they also need to find a way to turn Bob/Void away from the dark side and toward the light.

It’s a lot of fun, and like most of these superhero films, there are a couple of buried scenes in the post credits, suggesting a followup for these antiheroes turned heroes. Anna They’re the broken toys that have been cast to the bottom of the toy chest, and de Fontaine knows she can use their brokenness to take advantage of them. When she realizes that Bob may actually be proof of the Century Project’s success, she turns to exploiting him right away. If there’s anyone in this film who is just plain unlikeable, it’s her, and Louise-Dreyfus is so great as the too powerful villainess. She doesn’t see people, she sees money and power.

This one takes off in many directions, and while the ending isn’t impossible to guess, it gives the audience a lot of what-ifs to explore. Seyfried does well as the scrappy detective, half ice queen and half dedicated dog with a bone. Mickey’s patrol area of Kensington is tough, but it’s the place and the people she knows best.

“Join us for a very special acoustic performance by two of the Central Coast’s favorite singer-songwriters, Dan Curcio and special guest Adam Pasion,” Good Medicine announced. “Dan was inspired to start his own band in his early Cal Poly days after seeing Briertone performing in SLO, so this feels like a full-circle moment for him to be able to share the stage with Adam for the first time together.”

BORN 1953, SAN FRANCISCO, CA - DIED 2025, SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA

Billy Foppiano Longtime local musician Billy Foppiano has played his last guitar chord. Billy died on April 3, 2025, after being diagnosed with a serious illness some months earlier. Known as “Guitar Wizard” Billy Foppiano, this exuberant and talented musician entertained crowds at a wide variety of venues all over San Luis Obispo County for more than three decades. Along with his popular band, the Mighty Croon Dogs, Billy played frequently at special events, fundraisers, festivals, and community concerts. With his extensive musical repertoire, masterful musicianship, and compelling stage presence, he was a top Photo by: Lukas Austin

gain confidence in their own abilities, inviting them to play at jams or onstage with him. Billy was always a lynchpin in the local musical community. When he traveled to other countries he invariably brought along a guitar to play, and would soon break down any language or cultural barriers, spreading his exuberant joy all around. In Latin American countries Billy learned songs in Spanish, getting a kick out of accompanying local folks as they belted out their favorite tunes.

Billy Foppiano and his son Charlie, also an accomplished guitarist, often performed together. Over the years, the father-son duo frequently played at the Otter Rock Café, the Pozo Saloon, the Cambria Pines Lodge, and many other venues.

musical choice for local parties, weddings, and many other gatherings over the years. In San Luis Obispo County, award-winning guitarist Billy Foppiano shared his upbeat music and his positive energy at nearly every local venue, from restaurants and bars to backyards and parks, enthusiastically spreading his joy wherever he played, sharing his love of music and his love of life. It was in 1995 that Billy found the courage to quit his day job and rely on his music and guitar-

The “Guitar Wizard” became fascinated by the guitar at a young age, always determined to become a better and better player.

playing to support himself and his then-young son Charlie. He confidently launched his musical career and never looked back, often playing three or four gigs a day all over the county, before coming home and relaxing—by playing guitar. His many friends, fans, and fellow musicians remember Billy as a kind-hearted, generous, humble person whose positive energy and ebullient sense of humor brought smiles to one and all, from longtime friends to total strangers. Quite a few local musicians credit Billy with helping them get their first gig or meet other like-minded musicians. He helped beginners

A frequent part of camp music jams at the Live Oak Music Festival, Billy welcomed others to join the fun—even camp kids giving him temporary tattoos.

He was born in San Francisco and started learning guitar at age 6. As a teenager in Stockton, Billy played in bands with older musicians, honing his guitar chops and knowledge. He attended University of the Pacific before moving to San Luis Obispo in the 1980s to study solar engineering at Cal Poly, soon becoming a sought-after player in local bands. Always learning new songs, new chord progressions, and new playing styles, Billy loved exchanging guitar ideas with his talented son Charlie, an excellent guitarist in his own right. Billy leaves behind his son Charlie and daughter-in-law Rachel; his biggest fan, supporter, and partner for 30 years, Katalina Joy Johnston (Kathy); his brothers, sister, in-laws, nieces, and nephews; and his many dear friends, fans, fellow musicians, and admirers. As one young friend noted, “Billy leaves us with a hole in our hearts, but by being himself, he made us all more whole.” A celebration of Billy Foppiano is set for Saturday, May 10, from noon to 5 pm at the San Luis Obispo Elks Lodge #322, a potluck with live music (of course!). Donations in Billy’s name may be made to KCBX Public Radio or the Infinite Music Foundation in Morro Bay. His legacy lives on with every smile and every act of kindness.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $567,722.66 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount.

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.

Free Will Astrology by Rob Brezsny Homework: What’s your worst excuse for not being completely devoted to your dreams? Newsletter.freewillastrology.com ARIES

(March 21-April 19): Just for now, you might benefit from moderating your intensity. I am pleased to see how much good stuff you have generated lately, but it may be time to scale back a bit. At least consider the possibility of pursuing modest, sustainable production rather than daring to indulge in spectacular bursts of energy. In conclusion, dear Aries, the coming days will be a favorable time for finding the sweet spot between driving ambition and practical self-care. Your natural radiance won’t have to burn at maximum brightness to be effective.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): Classical ballet dancers often seek to convey the illusion of weightlessness through highly stylized movements. Innovative Taurus choreographer Martha Graham had a different aim, emphasizing groundedness. Emotional depth and rooted physicality were crucial to her art of movement. “The body never lies” is a motto attributed to her, along with “Don’t be nice, be real.” I recommend you make those themes your guides for now, Taurus. Ask your body to reveal truths unavailable to your rational mind. Value raw honesty and unembellished authenticity over mere decorum.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Gemini photographer Margaret BourkeWhite (1904-1971) was a trailblazer. She was the first American woman war photojournalist, the first professional photographer permitted into the Soviet Union, and among the first to photograph a Nazi concentration camp. She was consistently at the right place at the right time to record key historical moments. She’s your role model in the coming months. You, too, will have a knack for being in the right place and time to experience weighty turning points. Be vigilant for such opportunities. Be alert and ready to gracefully pounce.

(June 21-July 22): “Each negative word in a news headline increases click-through rates,” writes Joan Westenberg. “Negative political posts on social media get twice the engagement. The system rewards pessimism.” She wants to be clear: “Doomsayers aren’t necessarily wrong. Many concerns are valid. But they’ve built an attention economy that profits from perpetual panic. It’s a challenge to distinguish between actionable information and algorithmic amplification, genuine concern and manufactured outrage.” Westenberg’s excellent points are true for all of us. But it’s especially important that you Cancerians take measures to protect yourself now. For the sake of your mental and physical health, you need extra high doses of optimism, hope, and compassion. Seek out tales of triumph, liberation, pleasure, and ingenuity far more than tales of affliction, mayhem, and corruption.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Bees are smart. The robust and lightweight honeycombs they create for their homes are designed with high efficiency, maximizing storage space while using the least amount of resources. Let’s make the bees’ genius your inspirational role model for the coming weeks, Leo. It will be a favorable time to optimize your own routines and systems. Where can you reduce unnecessary effort and create more efficiency? Whether it’s refining your schedule, streamlining a project, or organizing your workspace, small adjustments will yield pleasing rewards.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1971, Virgo poet Kay Ryan began teaching English at a small community college. Though she wrote steadily, working hard to improve her craft and publish books, she never promoted herself. For years, she was virtually unknown. Finally, in 2008, she flamed into prominence. In quick succession, she served as the U.S. poet laureate, won a Pulitzer Prize, and received a $500,000 “genius grant” as a MacArthur Fellow. Why am I telling you about her long toil before getting her rightful honors? Because I believe that if you are ever going to receive the acclaim, recognition, appreciation, and full respect you deserve, it will happen in the coming months.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran author Diane Ackerman combines an elegant poetic sensibility and a deft skill at scientific observation. She is lyrical and precise, imaginative and logical, inventive and factual. I would love for you to be inspired by her example in the coming weeks. Your greatest success and pleasure will arise as you blend creativity with pragmatism. You will make good decisions as you focus on both the big picture and the intimate details. PS: If you immerse yourself in the natural world and seek out sensory-rich experiences, I bet you will inspire a smart solution to an achy dilemma.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio-born Sabina Spielrein (1885-1942) was one of the earliest woman psychoanalysts. In the 21st century, she is increasingly recognized as a great thinker who got marginalized because of her feminist approach to psychology. Several of her big contributions were Scorpionic to the core: She observed how breakdown can lead to breakthrough, how most transformations require the death of an old form, and how dissolution often serves creation. These will be useful themes for you to ruminate about in the coming weeks. For best results, be your deep, true, Scorpio self.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the middle of his art career, Sagittarian painter Paul Klee (1879-1940) was drafted into the German army as a soldier in World War I. Rather than fighting on the front lines, he managed to get a job painting camouflage on military airplanes. This enabled him to conduct artistic explorations and experiments. The metal hulls became his canvases. I am predicting a comparable opportunity disguised as an obstacle for you, Sagittarius. Just as the apparent constraint on Klee actually advanced his artistic development, you will discover luck in unexpected places.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else,” wrote poet Emily Dickinson. I often feel that truth. As much as I would love to devote 70-plus hours a week to creative writing and making music, I am continually diverted by the endless surprises of the daily rhythm. One of these weeks, maybe I’ll be brave enough to simply give myself unconditionally to ordinary life’s startling flow and forget about trying to accomplish anything great. If you have ever felt a similar pull, Capricorn, the coming days will be prime time to indulge. There will be no karmic cost incurred.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): David Bowie was a brilliant musical composer and performer. His artistry extended to how he crafted his persona. He was constantly revising and reshaping his identity, his appearance, and his style. The Ziggy Stardust character he portrayed on stage, for example, had little in common with his later phase as the Thin White Duke. “I’ve always collected personalities,” he quipped. If you have ever felt an inclination to experiment with your image and identity, Aquarius, the coming weeks will be an excellent time. Shape-shifting could be fun and productive. Transforming your outer style may generate interesting inner growth. What would be interesting ways to play with your self-expression?

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): The Voynich manuscript is a famous text written in an unfamiliar script filled with bizarre illustrations. Carbon-dated to the early 15th century, it has resisted all attempts at deciphering its content. Even Artificial Intelligence has not penetrated its meaning. I propose we make this enigmatic document an iconic metaphor for your life in the coming weeks. It will symbolize the power you can generate by celebrating and honoring mystery. It will affirm the fact that you don’t necessarily require logical explanations but can instead appreciate the beauty of the unknown. Your natural comfort with ambiguity will be a potent asset, enabling you to work effectively with situations others find too uncertain. ∆
