Paso pushes community-led outreach to slow the spread of COVID-19
IMAGE COURTESY OF READYSLO.ORG
A
s the number of positive COVID-19 cases rise in Paso Robles, the city is once again calling on the community to adhere to safety guidelines with a focus on the Latino community. At the Aug. 18 City Council meeting, City Manager Tom Frutchey said the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department has been tracking the increase in cases and found that there isn’t a single set of primary causes for the increase. According to a city staff report, most new cases are through individual transmission of people “sharing their air” at private, generally indoor, gatherings and other settings. Frutchey echoed statements he made in an open letter to Paso Robles residents on Aug. 3, saying that many people were still not adhering to safe practices, including maintaining social distancing, wearing effective face coverings, and washing their hands frequently. Councilmember Fred Strong said he agrees the city should do more outreach but doesn’t want local government to crack down on residents and regulate their lives. “I want us to be very careful in how we do this so that we don’t become ‘Big Brother’ again and go too far overboard,” Strong said. Paso has spent more than 7,000 hours and approximately $150,000 in out-of-pocket expenses responding to the pandemic so far, according to the staff report. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and CARES Act funding are expected to reimburse some of that expense. Strong said he noticed that people in minority groups are the ones who aren’t wearing masks and taking safety precautions. “And if people aren’t educated, and I appreciate the young lady who spoke from the Hispanic organization, we do have to get this

Yessenia Echevarria, founder of the grassroots organization Mujeres de Exito (“Women of Success”), spoke during public comment about her concerns over COVID-19 information being translated for Spanish and Indigenous-language speakers, the city’s handsoff and education-only approach to enforcing safety guidelines, and the number of Latino community members that are being infected by the virus.

Arroyo Grande cancels local November election
At a special meeting on Aug. 18, the Arroyo Grande City Council voted unanimously to cancel the city’s Nov. 3 consolidated general municipal election, which usually determines who will serve on City Council and as mayor. The decision was made possible only after no competing candidates registered to run against the incumbents by the Aug. 7 deadline. Some community members say they’d like a chance in November to elect new officials through write-ins—former Arroyo Grande Mayor Jim Hill won his seat as a write-in candidate in 2014—but Councilmember Jimmy Paulding said the registration deadline exists for a reason. “The fact is that it doesn’t make sense to spend $28,000 to hold an election just for write-in candidates who weren’t serious enough to file their papers on time just like all the incumbents all did,” Paulding said at the Aug. 18 meeting. “The only people that stepped up are the incumbents.” Paulding and other council members said they’d rather save the cost of running the election and printing a ballot and voter information pamphlet, which city staff estimate to ring in at about $28,000, and put it toward other services made necessary by the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread economic downturn. But some community members say there was supposed to be a challenger for Mayor Caren Ray Russom’s position, but
the potential candidate was talked out of running. Lea Rigo-Hensley—a vocal advocate for off-roading at the Oceano Dunes and president of Freedom Ropes, a local business that sells tow ropes for trucks and RVs—told New Times in a previous interview that she planned to run for mayor of Arroyo Grande but the current mayor encouraged her to reconsider. On Aug. 6, the day before candidate filing papers were due, Hensley said she received a direct Facebook message from Russom cautioning Hensley about the “ugly world of politics” that Russom said is “nasty beyond your wildest dreams.” Russom also said that while she respected Hensley’s tenacity, Hensley likely wouldn’t be able to vote on issues pertaining to the Oceano Dunes because of her business and ties to other pro offroading organizations, including the Jerk Pirates. Hensley said she felt threatened, but Russom told New Times that she did not intend to intimidate Hensley or discourage her from running. Russom said she simply wanted to offer up facts and some advice to a community member who she’s had friendly interactions with in the past. Arroyo Grande residents Chris and Marla Johnson don’t see it that way. They’re two of dozens of community members who wrote emails and letters to the city in favor of holding an election despite the lack of candidates. “We found it very troubling that a sitting official would inappropriately contact a potential candidate to
discourage them from running for office in opposition,” the Johnsons wrote in a letter to City Council. “While this may have been not as nefarious as some have framed it, you must see how this reeks of the political grappling to maintain power that we see in our state’s and nation’s governing bodies. Bluntly, it is not only disturbing, it is disgusting and should not be overlooked or excused.” But many other community members in favor of canceling the election called in to the Aug. 18 special meeting and wrote to City Council, saying they’d like to see the $28,000 and city staff time spent on more pressing matters. Arroyo Grande residents will still get ballots in November and will be able to vote on issues related to local, state, and federal politics, but the cancellation effectively appoints current City Councilmembers Kristen Barneich and Lan George and Mayor Caren Ray Russom to their positions for another term. Mayor Pro Tem Keith Storton said the cancellation of the election falls on the shoulders of the community. “It really is the responsibility of each and every adult citizen in our community to make the decision if they want to run for office and represent their community,” Storton said. “But because that didn’t happen, now the burden of the choice has shifted to us to make this decision because those who may have wanted to run failed to follow the process and the rules, and they’re not here to take on that opportunity.” —Kasey Bubnash
SLO County supervisors shelve cannabis ordinance changes
During the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors’ contentious four-hour hearing on Aug. 18 to consider a package of new rules for the local cannabis industry, cultivation applicant Tim Reed called in to the meeting to speak about what the stakes were for him. “We’ve spent well over $80,000 in the effort,” Reed said. “[We’re] 30 months into the process. Our hearing is at the end of this month, but based on your actions today, we may be eliminated before our project’s even considered. If you change the ordinance now, it’s entirely unfair to applicants who have done everything asked of them.” Reed joined a coalition of SLO County cannabis growers that pleaded with supervisors to reject the ordinance amendments, which would’ve significantly changed the regulatory parameters for nearly 90 cannabis applicants. Among the tweaks was to increase the required setback distance by 50 percent. “What is happening here is like moving the football goal posts after the game has started,” said Gretchen Lieff, of Alamo Creek Ranch. “It’s wrong.” A few of the amendments—like pursuing an outdoor cultivation ban and gradually reducing the total number of available cannabis permits—would’ve threatened the long-term survival of NEWS continued page 8

the local industry, growers and county officials added. While growers pushed back, residents of Creston and other rural communities called on supervisors to approve the changes and also seek additional, stronger ones. A unified group of Creston community members demanded that the board make Creston a “cannabis free zone.” Residents expressed concerns about odors, pesticide drift, and other community compatibility issues. Ultimately, the board did not muster a majority vote to move forward on any of the amendments. First District Supervisor John Peschong broke from 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold and 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton—who were supportive of most of the changes—arguing that the county’s current ordinance appeared to be working and needs more time to either succeed or fail. Peschong noted that out of the 133 cannabis applications submitted over three years (a total of 141 are allowed to apply), only six growers have received their permits, cleared appeals, met all their necessary conditions, and obtained state and business licenses. “There are six,” Peschong said. “Those six have followed the rules, have adapted to what the Planning Department and this board have made decisions on. Because they have not had one complaint or violation, I see something’s going right. I see they’re actually working their way through the system, and the system is taking care of the bad actors … . Let’s move this [forward] in the name of fairness. We set these rules up, let’s see how it shakes out.” Second District Supervisor Bruce Gibson agreed with Peschong, saying that the proposed changes would push the county’s cannabis program “further into a dysfunctional state by heaping on more restrictions that are arbitrary and not fully reasoned.” Arnold, who represents the Creston community, echoed most of her constituents’ concerns and requests— including adopting a position that cannabis cultivation should be moved into a consolidated, industrial area. “I think that in hindsight, we should consider really trying to move our cannabis industry into industrial zoning, where there is no minimum in our ordinance,” Arnold said. “Now that we see the industry, the beginnings of it, in my mind that might be a more appropriate place. … The conflict that I see churning throughout the district—there many, many more people who have just not been happy with the way we allowed the cannabis industry to move out in and near residential areas.” With the 3rd District supervisor seat vacant due to the death of Adam Hill, the board’s 2-2 vote meant the amendments did not pass. County staff said they’ll return to the board at a future meeting with more minor “clean up” changes to the cannabis ordinance. —Peter Johnson
Atascadero City Council candidate defends opinion column Co-owner of 13 Stars Media and Atascadero City Council candidate
8 • New Times • August 20 - August 27, 2020 • www.newtimesslo.com
Nicholas Mattson is under fire for an opinion series he wrote for one of his papers, The Atascadero News, in July. The four-part series, “House on Fire,” details Mattson’s view on the impacts of COVID-19 locally and nationally, local and state responses to the virus, and the start of Black Lives Matter protests in SLO County sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Mark Tomes, a current columnist for the publication and former resident of San Luis Obispo County, said he and other individuals were troubled with Mattson’s misinformation in regards to relating recent protests to the rising coronavirus-positive cases. In the first installment of the series published on July 9, Mattson states, “Multiple weeks of reopening the economy resulted in no observable rise in COVID-19 cases, while 10 days after protests where thousands gathered set off a chain reaction that led to record numbers around the country and in our own SLO County.” The connection is referenced several times in the opinion piece and again in the second installment of the series. SLO County Health Officials have never cited protests as the reason for increased cases. Rather, the county’s transmission data shows that the highest percentage of cases have come from person-to-person spread. Tomes said he understands the column is meant for opinions, but he can’t “agree to disagree until both parties have their facts straight.” Mattson told New Times that if there are factual inaccuracies, he would rather receive them in writing and address them, if necessary. “I won’t go into any of what I wrote in the opinion piece because I believe that I wrote it to stand for itself, and I wrote it to stand on its own,” he said. “But the reason I wrote it was to insert it onto the public record. The second issue Tomes and others have is the message Mattson ended his series with, “WWG1WGA”—an acronym related to the QAnon far-right conspiracy theory representing the phrase, “Where we go one we go all.” According to an article in The New York Times, the theory began online in 2017 when a 4chan message board user claimed to have top-secret information from the Trump administration and began posting online. QAnon alleges that the world is run by Satan-worshipping pedophiles who are plotting against current President Donald Trump while operating a global child sex-trafficking ring. According to the theory, Trump was recruited to be president to end the criminal conspiracy and end its control of politics and the media. Mattson dispels any correlation between the phrase and the conspiracy theory, saying he “doesn’t subscribe to them.” He said the phrase is related to President John F. Kennedy’s message of unity during his presidency. “It’s also been highly referenced to a movement toward being honest about a few other things that are going on, and one of the things that matter to me is the idea that we’ve been silent for too long about particular subjects, and one of those is human trafficking,” he said.
At the moment, Mattson said he’s shifting his focus from the publications to campaigning. He said he will be stepping away from The Atascadero News publication, and his wife and co-owner, Hayley Mattson, will be continuing as editor and will manage the publication so Mattson can avoid any conflicts of interest. His campaign platform includes community safety, reducing taxes on residents, business revitalization throughout Atascadero, and continuing to address homelessness within city limits. Mattson is running against incumbent Atascadero City Councilmember Charles Bourbeau, Bret Heinemann, Mark Dariz, and Tori Keen for the two seats up for election. —Karen Garcia
County’s Paso Basin boundaries will remain the same After hearing backlash from landowners, on Aug. 18 the SLO County Board of Supervisors scrapped a plan to revise the boundaries of the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin so that the county’s boundary matched the state’s. While the revision would’ve aligned the basin maps as stakeholders start to implement a 20-year sustainability plan mandated by state law, it would’ve also drawn more than 500 new property owners into its boundaries, subjecting them to an irrigation moratorium and other county water conservation policies. “Those [two boundaries] should be completely separate,” 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold said at the Aug. 18 meeting. “We would be imposing all of those regulations and restrictions that have caused a lot of trouble, and really resulted in a very unfair distribution of the water in the Paso basin. We’d just be adding more property into that.” The county’s basin map is its foundation for a 2013 groundwater “offset” ordinance, which restricts pumping from the depleted aquifer. Landowners set to be affected by the map redrawing objected to the change, arguing it lacked a scientific justification. Second District Supervisor Bruce Gibson agreed. “I’m open to discussion based on the technical information, but it does not seem we have that technical information,” Gibson said. “We just don’t have the information or any technical commentary that I know of.” For the same reason, the board also decided not to move the basin’s “area of severe decline.” That area—called the “red zone”—comes with even more severe pumping restrictions, and those boundaries have impacted some overlying farmers who claim their water levels are not in severe decline. Supervisors expressed a desire to give those landowners a path out of the red zone and directed staff to come back with a process where they could petition for their removal. That will come back to the board in November for review. The offset ordinance is set to expire in 2022, and the polices developed as part of the Paso basin sustainability plan are expected to take its place. ∆ —Peter Johnson

Seeking leadership Familiar faces and newcomers join a crowded SLO city election race
A
dozen candidates have filed papers to run for the San Luis Obispo City Council this fall. The pandemic-backdropped race will feature two incumbents, a former mayor, and an eclectic mix of both familiar faces and newcomers to local politics. Three seats are open—Mayor Heidi Harmon and Councilmember Andy Pease are seeking reelection, while Councilmember Aaron Gomez has opted not run for a second term. Residents who’ve run before are jumping in, such as Don Hendrick, a repeat mayoral candidate known for his unconventional public comments at meetings; Jeff Specht, a city government critic who called for the firing of the city manager in his City Council campaign statement; and Jan Marx, SLO’s mayor from 2010 to 2016, who’s now running for a council seat. “I’m not trying to turn back the clock,” Marx told New Times about her candidacy. “I feel like I could help. The city is facing a very difficult few years ahead with the pandemic, the economic collapse, and the civil unrest. I feel that the City Council needs someone who can offer experience, expertise, and a track record of understanding policies that go way back.” Others are first-time candidates, like Robin Wolf, a restaurant manager and activist propelled by COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter movement; Erik Long, a former political science professor; Abrianna Torres, a young professional seeking more “diversity of thought” on the council; Kelly Evans, an
event coordinator; and James Papp, an architectural historian who was recently ousted from the city’s Cultural Heritage Committee (CHC) after he clashed with developers and council members. “I did exactly my job,” Papp said about his recent dust-up over a proposed project on Chorro Street downtown. “This town went to a huge amount of effort to develop rules, laws, and guidelines [for development]— and the people at the very top seem to think it’s impossible to have development that actually follows the rules. And it isn’t.” Candidates running against Harmon for mayor include Cherisse Sweeney, owner of the downtown store Basalt Interior, who’s voiced concerns about how the pandemic and protests are hurting businesses; and Sandra Marshall-Eminger, a longtime environmental activist. With COVID-19 roiling the economy, and as the local Black Lives Matter movement has reached a peak after the arrest of protest leader Tianna Arata, several candidates said they felt compelled to step up and run for office at a time of crisis. “The decision that this is the year for me has a lot to do with the immediacy of the issues we’re facing,” said Wolf, who’s participated in local protests against police brutality. “I feel like we’re living in the midst of a national racial reckoning right now. We’re faced with an opportunity to acknowledge and examine these longstanding inequities and injustices we have, and work toward actual change.” As the manager of The Hatch in Paso Robles, Wolf added that she’s seen firsthand the economic effects of COVID-19 and believes she could bring that experience into public office. Other candidates spoke from a similar economic vantage point, like Torres, who’s a small-business consultant. “The consensus here in SLO is that business owners have not been supported, and they’re wondering, ‘OK what’s next?
‘I think part of the reason the pandemic response has been so lame, so slow, so uncreative is that we don’t have a City Council that thinks deeply about these issues or is used to taking action.’ —James Papp, candidate for San Luis Obispo City Council

The front line Farmworkers in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties remain vulnerable as the COVID-19 crisis continues
A
fter five months of living with the pandemic, farmworker advocates say that agricultural employees, which the state considers to be essential workers, continue to be vulnerable to COVID-19 infection. At the start of the pandemic, the main concern was getting enough personal protective equipment for farmworkers and getting local public health information to Spanish and Indigenous-language speakers, but concerns have evolved with the extended length of the crisis. Preliminary findings from a recently released study show that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing vulnerabilities farmworker communities endure in their living, working, and health conditions. The study states that farmworkers face additional risks because they lack critical social safety net support that other members of society have access to. The California Institute for Rural Studies released the COVID-19 Farmworker Study (COFS) in July. A team of 60 surveyors managed by six communitybased organizations with connections to farmworker communities surveyed more than 900 farmworkers throughout the state—including on the Central Coast— between May 19 and July 20. According to the study, California employs an estimated 800,000 farmworkers, and a majority of those individuals work seasonal positions, rarely having a full-time position. The average annual income earned is less than $18,000 a year. An estimated 90 percent of California farmworkers were born in Mexico, and roughly 60 percent are unauthorized to work in the United States. The study
Farmworkers reported that only 54 percent of worksites provided face coverings.
found that of its 900 interviews, nearly half of the survey respondents (46 percent) reported decreased work hours and subsequent income losses during the pandemic. Undocumented workers are unable to access unemployment benefits if they are laid off or furloughed. A little more than half (54 percent) reported costs, lack of insurance, and/or lack of sick leave as significant barriers that would prevent them from accessing health care even if they were ill. Nearly all workers (90 percent) reported taking precautions to protect their families when they arrive home from work and reported taking precautionary measures outside of the workplace to reduce the spread of the virus among families and their communities. Farmworkers reported that only 54 percent of worksites provided face coverings. About 43 percent of worksites didn’t provide face coverings at all, and 4 percent of worksites provided face coverings on a short-term basis or the masks provided didn’t meet the needs of the entire workforce. According to the study, survey respondents reported receiving masks once over several weeks or only once at the beginning of the pandemic. The study notes that initial findings may not reflect more recent efforts to provide face coverings. The study includes an anonymous excerpt from an Indigenous-speaking farmworker in Santa Maria stating that where he or she works, masks weren’t given to workers. “They tell us that everyone has to take their own. They tell us that if we want to work, we have to have one or else there is no work. Out of necessity to work, we buy them. Sometimes they are not inexpensive or it’s hard to find them,” the excerpt read. The Grower-Shipper Association of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties stated that it has been working to provide outreach and education to its members on federal, state, and local information. Association President
AT RISK Essential workers in the fields are at continued risk of COVID-19 infection in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties.
Claire Wineman said that in addition to ongoing outreach on workplace safety practices, the organization recently increased its outreach efforts related to the importance of using face coverings, limiting nonessential gatherings outside of an immediate core group or household during nonwork hours, and exercising safety practices during carpooling. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) hasn’t provided clear guidance on employers’ responsibility to provide personal protective equipment to employees to protect them from exposure to COVID-19. According to the National Center for Farmworker Health, even if clear guidance was available, OSHA cannot conduct inspections or enforce health and safety standards on farms with 10 or fewer employees. OSHA did, however, revise its guidance requiring employers to record COVID-19 illnesses that cause their employees to seek medical care or miss one or more days of work. Hazel Davalos, community organizing director for CAUSE (Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy) said that Santa Barbara County formed the Latinx and Indigenous Migrant COVID-19 Task Force to get pandemic-related information out into the community, but it’s not enough.
“For us, I think what this has shown more than anything is education has its limits and without enforcement, the laws in the books aren’t the laws in the fields,” Davalos said. Anecdotally, she said the organization has gotten calls from warehouse workers, for example, who have reached out to their workplaces’ human resources departments asking for more temperature checks. Davalos said in that situation, the human resources departments reportedly responded to the workers’ requests by saying, “If you don’t like it, you can leave. We’ll replace you.” She said CAUSE is focused on the agricultural industry’s inability to follow current safety regulations and is calling for more government oversight. “You can educate workers all day about their right to a safe workplace but when ... an undocumented person who doesn’t speak English—and in the case of H-2A workers, their landlords that provide their transportation and food—tell their boss, ‘Hey can you provide more protections,’ and their boss tells them, ‘No, I’ll fire you,’ what does it even matter that they knew their right?” Davalos said. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

STAYING AFLOAT Let’s Knit is one of SLO County’s only local providers of yarn and other knitting products. Owner Julia Powers was recently awarded a $5,000 grant from the city of Grover Beach to help her get through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Grover Beach lifeline
A
few long weeks into the COVID-19 pandemic, Julia Powers was starting to lose hope. Like so many other business owners, Powers had to temporarily close her Grover Beach-based yarn and knitting store, Let’s Knit, in mid-March because of COVID-19. But as other businesses and restaurants pivoted to online sales or takeout, Powers felt stuck. Her clientele is largely made up of seniors, and much of her revenue comes from hosting in-person knitting classes. “I don’t do any online or anything,” Powers said. “My store was closed so I wasn’t bringing anything in.” Soon she discovered there isn’t much help available for business owners like her. She applied for loans and grants through the Paycheck Protection Program and Small Businesses Administration, but her application was denied because she’s the sole proprietor of Let’s Knit. Powers applied for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance—unemployment benefits created specifically for those who are selfemployed—and she still hasn’t heard back. Things were looking bleak, and Powers said she was considering pulling a few thousand dollars from her personal savings just to pay rent. Then she heard that the city of Grover Beach and South County Chambers of Commerce were offering grants of up to $10,000 to business owners struggling to stay afloat through COVID-19. Powers applied for $5,000—enough to pay about three months’ rent—and was accepted in full. Money in hand, she paid off some piling bills and was able to open her doors again on July 1. There are restrictions in place, and Powers’ business is still grappling with pandemic-related challenges, but without that grant, she said, “I’d be scrambling.” “I’m trying to do the best I can,” she said. “It’s day-to-day because you just don’t know which way this is going.” Through Grover Beach’s business assistance microgrant program, businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic were able to apply for the grant funding to put toward salaries, commercial rent, protective gear for staff, and any other modifications necessary to gain compliance with COVID-19 related safety guidelines. The program, according to Grover Beach officials, was funded in part by Senate Bill 1090, a law that provided SLO County with millions of dollars to mitigate the economic impacts of the coming closure of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. When Grover Beach City Council adopted its 2020-21 budget, it also approved an additional allocation of $50,000 in general funds to go toward the microgrant program. On July 1, the city announced the microgrant recipients, 20 businesses— everyone who applied—ranging from restaurants like Bunn Thai Bistro and
Perfetto Caffe to salons, gyms, and everything in between. For some, the extra money is just keeping them afloat. For others, it’s helping make business-model adjustments that are necessary to survive through the pandemic but could last even once it’s over. At Epic Entertainment, which provides emcee, lighting, and photo-booth services at events and weddings, 2020 was shaping up to be an amazing year. Epic Entertainment President Anthony Falas said he had scores of weddings booked throughout the year, and a number holidays land on weekends in 2020, which makes it easier for people to host big parties. Then COVID-19 hit, and the cancellations flooded in. Falas said he’ll never forget the first call he received in March from a bride who said she wanted to reschedule her wedding due to COVID-19. “I was like, ‘What is this chick talking about? She is out of her mind,’” Falas said with a laugh. “And sure enough within like two or three days we were getting hit left and right.” Now Epic Entertainment has made scheduling and planning adjustments to more than 200 events. Although they’ve worked some weddings in the last few months, Falas said they’re far smaller and shorter than usual. “It’s just costing us a ton of time and effort,” he said. Fortunately for Falas, Epic Entertainment received a $9,000 grant from Grover Beach in early July, money the company is using to set up a new COVID-19 friendly business model. With high-end livestreaming technology and partnerships with local wedding venues in place, Epic Entertainment plans to offer $2,500 pandemic weddings, in which Falas said a bride and groom can choose a venue and get married with all their friends and family watching online. A cake, photographer, music, flowers, and the venue itself are all included. “So,” Falas said, “we’re just trying to make sure that we’re poised for the next steps of what events and entertainment are going to look like.” Thanks to Grover Beach, he said, that’s possible.

Constructive energy Push for change on the local government level
A
whale of a lot of years ago I read about how in the past, in some parts of the South, once a year, white people would gather up buckets of whitewash, and without being invited, go into the Black parts of town and whitewash the shacks that the people were living in. The objective was to do something “good for those poor folks.” If the poor folks could have some pride in their houses, maybe they would work harder. When the Black people stayed poor, it was their fault because look what a good thing the white people had done for them. Of course, there was no discussion between the people over what the poor folks really needed, like good educations, good job opportunities, or being able to purchase a house or rent a decent apartment. Those things that provide the bootstraps by which people are supposed to pull themselves up. A lot of the rhetoric that is going on today in SLO County has brought up that old memory. It is not necessary for anyone to decide what poor people need—poor people are perfectly aware of what they need. Not want, need. Good educational opportunities, decent job opportunities, housing, safe neighborhoods. These are some of the basic necessities for anyone in our society. These are the tools that everyone in our county must have. And how do we make sure that they do?
HODIN
There is a lot of really good energy now in our county, among a great variety of people. The mostly peaceful protests have made most people aware that there may be, lurking in the corners, problems that need to have good solutions. Let’s put this great energy to work constructively now by lobbying our Board of Supervisors, city councils, boards of school districts, and community services districts to evaluate their policies, ordinances, hiring practices, budgeting practices, and general attitudes to determine if there are any areas of responsibility that need to be improved on, and then to lobby these same governmental agencies to improve them. This can be done by establishing ad hoc commissions of public citizens with expertise in those areas to investigate and evaluate whether there are any road blocks, how to get rid of them, and how to then do things better. Some agencies have started down this path, and it is a good one for all to consider, all the while keeping in mind that their purview is this county only. SLO County agencies and businesses cannot be made responsible for what has happened in Minnesota or elsewhere. Private business does not get a pass here. It is incumbent on business to make sure that there is no red-lining in this
county, that people are not denied the right to rent because of the color of their skin, that people are hired and served equally in all business establishments. Once again, perhaps the Chamber of Commerce could establish a commission to evaluate and promote good business practices in this county. What individuals might consider doing is to stop pointing their fingers at “the other” as the problem. Someone infinitely wiser than I said, “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment. That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging. It’s easy to see a smudge on your neighbor’s face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, ‘Let me wash your face for you,’ when your own face is distorted by contempt? It’s this whole traveling road show mentality all over again part instead of just living your part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face, and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.” (Matt. 7:1-5) (The Message, Ecumenical Bible) So, these are some actions we might all become part of rather than just posting on social media. Lobby government to do some good evaluations to determine how things can be done better for everyone.

Point out bad practices if necessary, but try not to demonize anyone in the process. If in business, evaluate how it might be possible to come up with some better business practices, and if an individual, make sure your own behavior is not a detriment to someone else, in any way.

Letters A little humor about that coin shortage After hearing about the nationwide coin shortage, I cannot help but wonder how it must be affecting laundromats, since that is where most of my coins end up being spent. But why are laundromats still coin operated? Why only quarters? If they insist on staying coin-operated, can we allow them to discriminate against other denominations? Isn’t that showing quarters privilege? It takes between $6 to $10, depending on the laundromat and the capacity of the available washing machines. Drying a “normal” load takes about $1.50 to $2. I wash three loads and usually spend about $20. That is 80 quarters inserted one at a LETTERS continued page 13
Opinion LETTERS from page 12
time, and the machine does not start until every quarter is inserted correctly. Cold and uncaring, it waits. If you insert a Euro dollar or a Susan B. Anthony by mistake, it will spit it back. Oh, you’re short by 50 cents, you say? Well, that is too bad—you will still have to come up with two more quarters, no exceptions, no substitutions— no nickels, dimes, and don’t you even dare thinking of paying in pennies! When I see a brand new washing machine being saddled with an antiquated coin feeder, I get the feeling that it also changes the machine’s character. The union sealing their fate, it exudes despair and coldness. How long they will stay together is anyone’s guess, but it’s certain that both coin feeder and machine have a rough and dirty life ahead, where only thing that matters is cash, and care is just a four-letter word. Meanwhile, the rest of the retail and self-service machine industry incorporated the ability to accept paper currency and electronic funds. Some going so far to accept only electronic payment methods. So, how did laundromats go overlooked? How could people feeding that many quarters into machines go unnoticed? Finally, how many people did I just come into contact with to get $20 worth of quarters? Self-serve laundry and vending machines were invented with convenience in mind. While technology exists, as evident in vending machines, laundromats stalwartly remain stuck in the past. Ironically, it seems change comes slowly in the self-service laundry world. Perhaps, the current coin shortage will serve as notice, shed light on the plight of those who depend on laundromats for clean clothes. But it is doubtful that owners will voluntarily reform on their own, especially in the red states. If you want to know where the true poverty line exists—it lies between those who wash clothes at laundromats and those who can wash clothes at home. For those who can, it’s a luxury often taken for granted. While on the other side, those hours spent at laundromats are cruel reminders of their situation. And before you accuse me of playing the “wash card,” I ask that you ask someone you know on the opposite side. I am certain that they’ll agree that being able to wash clothes at home has much more significance than you would think. How much, you ask? Rather than social equality or global peace, the future I hope for is when everyone can wash and dry clothes at home, and laundromats become extinct, except the few in museums serving as a reminder of how divided society was. This letter’s intent was humor, not to be taken seriously. Charles Bird Los Osos

Successful re-entry takes a village We need to help ex-inmates succeed in their return to our communities. The LA Times provided a thoughtful call to action in its editorial on Aug. 5, “California is releasing prison inmates in droves. It needs to help them re-enter society.” I’ve learned through facilitating projects in the criminal justice system and some volunteer work with local nonprofits like Restorative Partners how difficult it can be for returning citizens. They face family, health care, employment, and many other obstacles. (See, for example, the array of programs and services offered at restorativepartners.org.) Expanded availability and improved coordination of services will help people coming out of jail succeed. In turn, this will reduce future crimes and the high cost of prison. It will take a coordinated village response for ex-inmates to succeed. The Times editorial calls for passage of Senate Bill 369, which would implement practical steps to address the issues and coordinate cost-effective public and private services. This bill is going for a hearing in the Assembly’s Public Safety Committee on Aug. 13. I urge you to voice your support to Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham and to the committee itself.

atie Davis, chair of Sierra Club’s Los Padres Chapter (Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties), recently described what it was like to live through the Refugio Beach oil spill five years ago: “You can’t completely clean up an offshore oil spill. The oil sinks into the marine environment, damaging fragile underwater ecosystems, killing or contaminating fish and smaller organisms that are essential links in the food chain, including the food we eat. The environmental damage can last for decades. More than 300 dolphins, seals, sea lions, pelicans, and other birds and animals washed up dead. Many others were found alive and suffering. Oil clogs the blowholes of whales and dolphins, affecting their ability to breathe and communicate. It coats the fur of seals and birds, impairing their ability to float, fly, and regulate temperatures. They die of hypothermia or toxicity or starvation. They go blind or develop birth defects or tumors.” Ms. Davis also described what it was like to live through the 2018 Holiday Fire, turbocharged by global warming, while Exxon pressed for approval of more oil projects that will lead to more oil spills and worsening climate change. (A recent scientific study confirmed that every barrel of California oil left in the ground will result in a net decrease of about half a barrel of oil consumption globally.) Exxon’s offshore platforms and Goleta processing facilities—major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions on the Central Coast—shut down when the Plains All American Pipeline ruptured onto Refugio State Beach in 2015 and have not reopened. Now, Exxon—in the midst of a pandemic and an oil glut—is seeking a permit to allow up to 70 oil tankers a day to truck oil from its Goleta facility to Santa Maria, and then across the Twitchell Reservoir and the length of the Santa Maria watershed to the San Joaquin Valley on Highway 166, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. From the resumption of offshore drilling to a spike in regional greenhouse gas emissions to impacts on a coastal watershed and the danger to drivers on our highways, there is nothing good awaiting the residents of San Luis Obispo County in this unnecessary project. For Santa Barbara County, a touted $2 million increase in property tax payments to the county general fund resulting from the restart of offshore drilling amounts to 0.2 percent—one-fifth of 1 percent—of the county’s $950 million annual budget. It cost $257 million to clean up the 2015 Refugio spill. In response to proposals by the Trump administration to dramatically expand drilling off the California coast for the first time in more than 30 years while simultaneously rolling back protections that prevent catastrophic oil spills, more than 80 West Coast communities have formally voiced their opposition to
offshore drilling. More than 1 million Americans have submitted comments to the administration demanding that we keep offshore oil in the ground and not prioritize the profits of the fossil fuel industry over the interests of our communities and the health of our oceans. The cities of San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay, Goleta, and Santa Barbara, as well as UAW2865, Environmental Justice Alliance, Sweetwater Collaborative, Mercury Press International, Quail Springs Permaculture, Sunburst Sanctuary, Gaviota Coast Conservancy, and the Cuyama Valley Community Association have let the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors know that they oppose Santa Barbara County Planning Commission Project Case No. 17RVP-00000-00081, an application to truck offshore oil along Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Kern county highways.
Phillips 66’s announcement is a reminder that the era of oil is coming to an end. Review of the environmental impact report by Santa Barbara County was scheduled to commence in September. County planning staff have recommended a slightly reduced version of the project— one that would involve truck transport only to the Phillips 66 Santa Maria facility, not the trip across Highway 166. The recommendation does nothing to address the impacts of the revival of the offshore platforms and the restart of the biggest carbon-emitting facility in the region. It does nothing about the fact that burning the 4 million barrels of oil intended to be trucked every year would result in more than 1.7 million metric tons of carbon pollution, equivalent to burning nearly 2 billion pounds of coal. That Planning Commission meeting is now looking iffy. On Aug. 13, Phillips 66 notified SLO County that it will be shutting down the Santa Maria refinery in 2023 and converting to renewable fuels. It also withdrew an application for the replacement and relocation of the local portion of the pipeline between its Santa Maria facility and its refinery in the Bay Area, which will also be closing. Phillips 66’s announcement is a reminder that the era of oil is coming to an end. For communities, public health, and the climate, it’s time to terminate oil drilling off the coast of California and ensure a just transition for workers. ExxonMobil should follow Phillips 66’s lead and withdraw its dangerous offshore drilling and oil trucking project. #ExxonBeGone. ∆ Andrew Christie is the director of the Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club.

Smoke up! D id 1st District Supervisor John Peschong just save the SLO County cannabis industry? Is up down, black white, wet dry? What kind of topsy-turvy world are we living in? On Aug. 18, Peschong voted against his perpetual allies, 4th District Supe Lynn Compton and 5th District Supe Debbie Arnold, who voted to approve amendments to the cannabis ordinance that could potentially end cultivation entirely. “I’m not a supporter or a user,” Peschong announced, as if we didn’t know, nerd! But he also said, “Even in my district, which tends to be fairly conservative, 57 percent of the people in my community voted to support cannabis,” and, “We set these [original] rules up [that the new amendments would change], let’s see how [our original ordinance] shakes out.” Good grief, man. You sound so fair and reasonable! Are you sure you’re not high right now? Even 2nd District Supe Bruce Gibson was shocked. “I find myself in a very interesting position of agreeing and disagreeing with Supervisor Peschong,” Gibson said. “Your opinion is not to move any of these amendments forward today. I could go through point by point. On the whole, I agree with you because of the substantial harm that many of the potential amendments would cause.” “I agree with you.” How freaking hard
was it for Gibson to choke out those words? The new amendments’ very worst idea—the industry-killing one—was to limit the number of permits to 141 and have no renewal possible if a reapplication permit is denied. In other words, if a permit is withdrawn or denied, the new limit is 140, and then 139, and so on. “It is important to note that this would over time reduce the total number of cannabis operations in existence and potentially phase out cannabis activities all together over time,” read a June 25 county staff report. Other amendments on the table included 1,500-foot setbacks, a ban on outdoor grows, ventilation systems for indoor grows, no hoop houses for drying, and no manufacturing on ag land. I mean, it’s not like they let vineyards make and bottle wine on ag land, right? Double standard much? Sheesh! There are 89 applications currently languishing in the Planning Department, some in process for more than a year, and these new rules would have forced many of them to change plans they’d already invested significant money in. Also, can we all take a deep breath and get a little perspective for a second! Currently there are only six fully permitted operators cultivating under

the county’s ordinance. Six! That’s it! You haven’t even given your ordinance a chance to work and you’re already trying to change it! For her part, Arnold seemed downright gleeful at the idea of kneecapping the cannabis industry. “I have been waiting for these amendments to come around for a long time,” she said, before chronicling the many arguments against cannabis grows. “Not just odor. Oftentimes it’s just creating big projects with lots of people.” Isn’t it weird that pro-business types like Arnold suddenly become antibusiness when the business is marijuana? Suddenly a big project with lots of employed people is bad. Arnold was all in on new limitations and regulations, as was Compton, who suggested the newly proposed onerous burdens to the industry may not be enough. “There is no science behind [grow setbacks],” Compton complained. “I wish we did have science on that. Nobody can seem to tell me that. I’m not sure that 1,500 feet is going to be the magic number, but nobody from our planning staff or anything else I’ve looked at can tell me.” Maybe instead of a quarter mile it should be half a mile, or how about a mile, Lynn? Look, here’s the truth. Creston has a stick up its arse. Most of the complaints called into the supes’ meeting came from Creston, Debbie’s district, and the callers seem to be reading off the same script: Make Creston a “cannabis-free zone” and only allow cannabis grows inside
an “industrial center” (read warehouses somewhere far, far away). I know you and Debbie are probably really mad at John right now for voting against you. Why don’t you three get together and smoke the peace pipe? Because whatever John’s been smoking, you two ladies should imbibe of it deeply. Oh, and good news on the COVID-19 front. Paso Robles City Councilmember Fred Strong, who doesn’t want the council to “become ‘Big Brother’ again and go too far overboard” in regulating people’s behavior, has figured out why Paso is the county’s hotbed of infections. It’s not because generally conservative Paso Robles doesn’t believe in this “scandemic” and isn’t interested in useless masks that don’t match their MAGA hats. Nope, it’s all the uneducated beaners. Responding to a public comment made by Yessenia Echevarria, founder of the grassroots organization Mujeres de Exito (which translates to “Women of Success”), that the outreach to Spanish and Indigenous-language speakers has been unsuccessful, Strong said, “And if people aren’t educated, and I appreciate the young lady [Echevarria] who spoke from the Hispanic organization, we do have to get this out in Hispanic. We have to get this out to the people who are being most affected.” You have to get this out “in Hispanic”? No hablo Hispanic, bro. ∆ The Shredder is hot, baby!

Death of a venue The Graduate closes its doors after 45 years
A
bout five weeks before all hell broke loose, I wrote about Norwegian dungeon synth artist Mortiis playing a live show at The Graduate on Feb. 9 (“Take your black metal thrashing under Mortiis’ dungeon synth at The Grad,” Feb. 6, 2020). I didn’t know it at the time, but that was the last live music show at The Grad that I would ever write about. That show seems like a lifetime ago, not six months, and now The Graduate, which has served music lovers for 45 years, is closing for good. Though the establishment didn’t list the fallout of COVID-19 as the specific reason for the closure, I’m sure the pandemic didn’t help. First opened in 1975, the sprawling venue served up great chow but was better known as a gathering place for young people to dance and mingle. Just after graduating from high school, I spent many a night there shaking my moneymaker during Minor Madness, their underage dance night. Later Big Chill Night, Country Night, and Noche Caliente drew revelers. There were also many memorable live music events; some I don’t remember. The Grad poured a pretty stiff drink. Now it’s closed. Rolling Stone magazine recently wrote in its Aug. 14 issue, “The fate of the live music industry—along with that of millions of other small businesses and unemployed Americans—remains up in the air now that both chambers of Congress have left Washington for their August recess without passing a new COVID-19 relief bill.”
Thankfully, organizations are lobbying on behalf of the music industry, and you can help, too. “Over the past few weeks, music industry organizations including the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) and the National Independent Talent Organization (NITO)—both of which sprung up in response to the pandemic—have been lobbying for two bills: the Restart Act and the Save Our Stages Act,” Rolling Stone wrote. “The Restart Act, introduced in both the House and Senate, isn’t specifically tailored to the music industry, but broadly focuses on businesses with high overhead and no revenue during the pandemic—a category that includes live music. The Save Our Stages Act, introduced by Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, would have specifically provided six months of financial support to independent venue operators, promoters, and talent reps.” If you value live music and the local businesses that serve our live music community, I urged you to visit the NITO website, where you can send a personal message to your elected representatives urging them to pass legislation to save the live music industry: nitolive.org/ resources/take-action. As for The Grad, it’s left a lot of memories in its wake: “This is heartbreaking,” Melissa Catherine Blanchard commented on The Grad’s Facebook page. “It’s where I met my husband line dancing.”

Safety first! Livestream from A-Town
“For the safety and well-being of our community, we are offering this summer’s concert series virtually,” noted the city of Atascadero, which has made its summer concert season online into the foreseeable future.
“We have an amazing virtual lineup that you can enjoy from your own backyard or plan a watch party with your family or friend group!” the press announcement continued. “The virtual concerts will be available live on KPRL 1230AM from 6 to 7 p.m., or you can watch the show live on our YouTube channel (atascadero.org/YouTube). Any of our Facebook pages will also provide you with the YouTube link information. The live feed on atascadero.org/YouTube will be broadcast from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and KPRL from 6 to 7 p.m. Listen in or watch, but add it to your evening entertainment list for this Saturday, Aug. 22!” This week’s show features hard pop brass ensemble Brass Mash, which usually takes two popular songs and mashes them up into a medley of their own arrangement, like their “California Mind Me Up,” which mashes “California Gurls” by Katy Perry with “Piece of Mind” by Boston; or “Beat It Still,” which mashes “Feel It Still” by Portugal the Man with “Beat It” by Michael Jackson. Both Brass Mash versions have great YouTube videos! It’s freaking brilliant, and they’re one of the most energetic and out-and-out fun live bands you’re likely to see. This livestream event might not be quite as amazing as seeing Brass Mash right in front of you live, but it will still be awesome! Promise! This band is proof positive that there is life after band camp. Δ Contact Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Arts Artifacts
BY GLEN STARKEY
Starting Sept. 1, Gallery at Marina Square in Morro Bay will begin showcasing fine art photography by local artists Karen Peterson, Terry Garvin, and Gregory Siragusa. This joint exhibition will remain on display through Sept. 29. “Art is important. It can relax, inspire, elate, motivate, and hundreds of other things,” Garvin said in a press release from the gallery. “My hope is that you have art in your life. And if my images can be part of your art and in some way touch you beyond the ‘what a beautiful photo,’ I am touched as well.” Featured photos in the exhibit, partly themed to celebrate the natural beauty of the Central Coast, include three different photographic landscapes of Morro Rock from each featured artist. Siragusa described the art of photography as capturing and appreciating “the glory of existence.” “Photography is an opportunity to marvel at all the beauty in the world. Birds, sunsets, mountains, oceans—each offers a journey into the sublime,” Siragusa said in the release. “We are all here for a brief moment, we should all take the time to appreciate and surround ourselves with the marvelous.” To find out more about Gallery at Marina Square and its art exhibitions, call (805) 772-1068 or visit galleryatmarinasquare.com.

Exquisite! Cambria’s The Cabin offers a virtual display of fine arts
verything about “upset Apple cart,” a new exhibit showing at Cambria’s The Cabin through August, is a feast for the senses. As you approach the venue, you’re greeted by a fence installation by Andres Martinez (Cambria/Mexico) constructed of wood and wire, and soon you’re treading over an aromatic installation of eucalyptus wood chips by Miseal Pena (Cambria/Mexico). Once inside, rather than having name plates identifying the works and artists, there’s simply a list with names and descriptions for you to sort your way through. Between the works’ titles and descriptions of the materials, it’s not difficult and it adds to the fun. “Public viewing of the exhibit is currently COVID-19 friendly online, with possible private showings by appointment to serious art collectors,” explained curator and artist Carol Chalifoux, who—along with her musician husband, Jim—owns The Cabin, which 20 years ago was used for annual art shows like this one before becoming an Airbnb. You can take a virtual tour on the show’s Facebook page, which does an excellent job of displaying the work and identifying the artists—but unfortunately you’re going to have to take my word for the sensory feast. You cannot smell the eucalyptus chips through your computer. There are more than two dozen beautiful works to behold—paintings, collage, drawing, photography, readymades, objet d’arts, fabrics, found objects, video, music, basketry, weaving, and prints. Through more than 75 photos and videos, do yourself a favor and explore this tiny miracle of creativity! Chalifoux has exquisite taste and has curated a charming show with some delightful surprises, such as a video interview with famed actor Nehemiah Persoff

However, their business of selling “oily cakes” is contingent on the clandestine milking of wealthy landowner Chief Factor’s (Toby Jones) tumble neighbors, both cow—the only one in the in search of life outside FIRST COW region.

Cookie is gentle are quiet, meek, and gentle, trying to eke and guarded. Watching his interaction out a living in dangerous land built on with the cow as he milks her shows what the fur trade. When they meet, Cookie is a soft and caring person he is. It’s not traveling with a group of loutish trappers your typical Western where bullets are making their way to Fort Tillicum.

It’s an in interesting ways. The trappers are unhurried story about friendship, set up brutes, while the more “highborn” by a William Blake quote that opens the characters are downright cruel. It’s clear film: “The bird a nest, the spider a web, that male ego drives those who are seen man friendship.” Humans make a home as “successful.” The side story about Chief in their friendship with others. Don’t Factor and Captain (Scott Shepherd), a expect a fast-paced action film; like most visiting friend of Factor’s, marks a sharp of Reichart’s films, First Cow takes its contrast between men like them and a man time. Its end is pure poetry, calling back like Cookie. Factor is desperate to prove to the film’s opening framing device set to Captain how elevated his lifestyle is, so in present day, when a young woman and he hires Cookie to bake a special cake for her dog, walking by a river, come across Captain’s visit.

Like director Stanley Kubrick’s stunning 1987 film Full Metal Jacket or Joseph Heller’s brilliant 1953 satirical novel Catch-22, the series depicts both the deep dysfunction of the military as well as the effective training and bravery of those who serve even though they often seem less than honorable. It drives home that to be a warrior, you have to desensitize and ultimately dehumanize yourself to be a killer. Excellent filmmaking, incredible attention to detail, and superb acting combine to make this one of the better war miniseries on TV. (seven approximately 65-min. episodes) —Glen
GENERATION KILL
motivation for the remaining workers than mere corrective punishment. It’s the ugly side of wealth and power laid bare, and in contrast, Cookie and King-Lu’s friendship is so much more authentic than Factor and Captain’s. The film keeps returning to its Blake quote about friendship, in this case male friendship that offers nonmonetary riches. It’s a sweet, albeit tragic, story and maybe an underdog contender for an Academy Award. Anna The two men have a goal of making it to San Francisco and opening a hotel and bakery, but without capital their dreams will never come to fruition. Between oily cakes sold to the townsfolk and special requests from Chief Factor, the two are well on their way to realizing their dream. There’s something immensely satisfying about watching Factor drool over the baked goods secretly made with his cow’s milk—a cow he thinks can barely produce milk at all. The relationship between him and Captain is pretty amusing—the two can’t help but try and one-up each other in every aspect. Both are pompous and gross, the opposite of our two main characters. When Cookie and King-Lu are finally found out, they have to flee, and while many men in that situation would fend only for themselves, these two have a bond that keeps them together, for better or worse. It’s a really lovely film, and if you have the patience for it, it’s well worth a watch. I’d love to see this one up for an Academy Award. ∆ Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and freelancer Anna Starkey write Split Screen. Glen compiles streaming listings.

Pacific rockfish by any other name is cod, snapper, and any one of the more than 70 species that swim about in the waters between Alaska and Baja California. There are red ones, blue ones, black ones, and yellow ones. Olive ones and striped ones. Those species with giant ugly, bulging eyes and those that look less freaky. Ones you’re not allowed to catch based on federal law, and those that you can. With most species, though, recreational fishers (who have a permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife) can bag up to 10 per day, combined. Anglers can fish from shore, off a pier, or from a boat, although there are slightly different rules depending on the method. The flesh has a light, lean texture with a soft nuttiness—and although I couldn’t really tell the difference in taste between say, a red or blue rockfish, there are people out there who swear they can. Either way, there’s nothing like fresh caught fish for dinner, and on Sunday, July 12, I got the opportunity to indulge thanks to the hard work of the Collier boys and an early morning. They left the house at 5 that morning with their boat in

tow and headed out onto the open water from Port San Luis. Eric, 8, caught the biggest fish of them all, and he was proud to show it off the second they pulled back into the driveway around 2:30 p.m. The fish were packed into a cooler on ice, and they got to work filleting as soon as everything was unloaded. Those fillets went from the cutting board to the flat-top grill after receiving a bath in some tangerine olive oil from Pasolivo and a sprinkling of Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning. A little citrus and a little heat along with some sautéed onions and serrano peppers did the trick. We wrapped the finished product up in a heated flour tortilla with fresh mango and pineapple salsa and a cilantro salad for a fresh, healthy, light Sunday dinner. This isn’t the first fresh fish dinner I’ve had with the Colliers, either. The weekend fishing trip is a staple in that household. We’ve beer-battered the fish, put it in tacos, and just had it grilled. Really, it can’t be beat, and no matter how simple you make it, eating fresh-caught fish always feels special.

FRESH CATCH This is one of 10 fish that the Colliers caught out on the water July 12. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife limits recreational anglers to 10 rockfish a day.

FILET-OFISH There are several tricks to filleting fresh caught fish, but the most common involves slicing along the spine and above the ribs from collar to tail.
SEASONED EATING Pasolivo tangerine olive oil and Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning give the rockfish and kick of heat and a citrus backbone.

GRILL IT UP Don’t feel like starting a fire? There’s always the flat-top grill (or a cast iron skillet near you) for a quick sauté with onions and serrano peppers.
READY FOR DINNER For a quick meal after a long day out on the water, tortillas wrap up grilled fresh rockfish, a tropical salsa, and cilantro salad.

SINGLE MAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for NATIONS LENDING CORPORATION as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 770 BEVERLY DR, NIPOMO, CA 93444 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 $295,733.02 (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. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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.

LIBRA
(March 21-April 19): “We never know what is enough until we know what’s more than enough,” said Aries singer Billie Holiday. I don’t think that applies to everyone, although it’s more likely to be true about the Aries tribe than maybe any other sign of the zodiac. And I’m guessing that the coming weeks could be a time when you will indeed be vivid proof of its validity. That’s why I’m issuing a “Too Much of a Good Thing” alert for you. I don’t think it’ll be harmful to go a bit too far and get a little too much of the good things; it may even be wise and healthy to do so. But please don’t go waaayyyy too far and get waaayyyy too much of the good things.
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I transformed stillnesses and darknesses into words,” wrote Libran poet Arthur Rimbaud. “What was unspeakable, I named. I made the whirling world pause.” In accordance with current astrological potentials, I have turned his thoughts into a message for you. In the coming weeks, I hope you will translate silences and mysteries into clear language. What is unfathomable and inaccessible, you will convert into understandings and revelations. Gently, without force or violence, you will help heal the inarticulate agitation around you with the power of your smooth, resonant tenderness.
TAURUS
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Your desires, whether or not you achieve them, will determine who you become,” wrote author Octavia E. Butler. Now is a fertile time for you to meditate on that truth. So I dare you to take an inventory of all your major desires, from the noblest to the most trivial. Be honest. If one of your burning yearnings is to have 100,000 followers on Instagram or to eat chocolate-covered bacon that is served to you in bed, admit it. After you’re through tallying up the wonders you want most, the next step is to decide if they are essential to you becoming the person you truly want to be. If some aren’t, consider replacing them with desires that will be a better influence on you as you evolve.
(April 20-May 20): Taurus author Honoré de Balzac (17991850) took many years to write The Human Comedy, an amalgam of 91 intertwined novels, stories, and essays. For this vast enterprise, he dreamed up the personalities of more than 2,000 characters, many of whom appeared in multiple volumes. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I believe that the next 15 months will be an excellent time for you to imagine and carry out a Balzac-like project of your own. Do you have an inkling of what that might be? Now’s a good time to start ruminating.

(May 21-June 20): Not until the 19th century did humans begin to take organized actions to protect animals from cruelty. Even those were sparse. The latter part of the 20th century brought more concerted efforts to promote animal welfare, but the rise of factory farms, toxic slaughterhouses, zoos, circuses, and cosmetic testing has shunted us into a Dark Age of animal abuse. I suspect our descendants will look back with horror at our barbarism. This problem incurs psychological wounds in us all in ways that aren’t totally conscious. And I think this is an especially key issue for you right now. I beg you, for your own sake as well as for the animals’, to upgrade your practical love and compassion for animals. I bet you’ll find it inspires you to treat your own body with more reverence.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian literary critic Harold Bloom bragged to The New York Times that his speed-reading skills were so advanced that he could finish a 500-page book in an hour. While I believe he has indeed devoured thousands of books, I also wonder if he lied about his quickness. Nonetheless, I’ll offer him up as an inspirational role model for you in the coming weeks. Why? Because you’re likely to be able to absorb and integrate far more new information and fresh experiences than usual—and at a rapid pace.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Magic lies in challenging what seems impossible,” says Leo politician Carol Moseley Braun. I agree with her, but will also suggest there’s an even higher magic: when you devise a detailed plan for achieving success by challenging the impossible, and then actually carry out that plan. Judging from the current astrological omens, I suspect you’re in an unusually favorable position to do just that in the coming weeks. Be bold in rising to the challenge; be practical and strategic in winning the challenge.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Joy is a mystery because it can happen anywhere, anytime, even under the most unpromising circumstances,” writes author Frederick Buechner. What he doesn’t say is that you must be receptive and open to the possibility of joy arriving anywhere and anytime. If you’re shut down to its surprising influx, if you’re convinced that joy is out of reach, it won’t break through the barriers you’ve put up; it won’t be able to land in your midst. I think this is especially important counsel for you in the coming weeks, Virgo. Please make yourself available for joy. P.S. Here’s another clue from Buechner: “Joy is where the whole being is pointed in one direction.”
SCORPIO
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you can manage it, I recommend taking a break from business-as-usual. I’d love to see you give yourself the gift of amusement and play—a luxurious sabbatical that will help you feel free of every burden, excused from every duty, and exempt from every fixation. The spirit I hope you will embody is captured well in this passage from author Okakura Kakuzo: “Let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.”
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Rapper Eminem advises us, “Never take ecstasy, beer, Bacardi, weed, Pepto-Bismol, Vivarin, Tums, Tagamet HB, Xanax, and Valium in the same day.” What’s his rationale? That quaffing this toxic mix might kill us or make us psychotic? No. He says you shouldn’t do that because “it makes it difficult to sleep at night.” I’m going to suggest that you abide by his counsel for yet another reason: According to my analysis, you have the potential to experience some wondrous and abundant natural highs in the coming weeks. Your capacity for beautiful perceptions, exhilarating thoughts, and breakthrough epiphanies will be at a peak. But none of that is likely to happen if you’re loaded up with inebriants.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Everyone who has ever built a new heaven first found the power to do so in his own hell,” declared philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. That’s a rather histrionic statement! But then Nietzsche was a Maestro of Melodrama. He was inclined to portray human life as a heroic struggle for boldness and liberation. He imagined us as being engaged in an epic quest to express our highest nature. In accordance with your astrological potentials, I propose that you regard Nietzsche as your power creature during the coming weeks. You have a mandate to adopt his lion-hearted perspective. And yes, you also have a poetic license to build a new heaven based on the lessons you learned and the power you gained in your own hell.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Here’s some knowledge from author John le Carré: “In every operation there is an above the line and a below the line. Above the line is what you do by the book. Below the line is how you do the job.” According to my analysis, you have, at least for now, done all you can in your work above the line. That’s great! It was crucial for you to follow the rules and honor tradition. But now it’s time for a shift in emphasis. In the coming weeks, I hope you will specialize in finessing the details and massaging the nuances below the line. Δ
