Harmon on track to win third term as SLO mayor, Pease and Marx lead for City Council seats

E

stablishment candidates appeared to prevail in San Luis Obispo city elections, with incumbent Mayor Heidi Harmon and City Councilmember Andy Pease fending off multiple challengers, and former Mayor Jan Marx winning an open City Council seat, according to unofficial election night results.

With all precincts reported and a majority of a record number of mail-in ballots counted, Harmon led the mayor’s race with 53.9 percent of the vote. Challengers Cherisse Sweeney, Sandra Marshall-Eminger, and Don Hendrick trailed with 32.3 percent, 12.2 percent, and 1.5 percent of the vote, respectively.

“I’m so proud of our team,” Harmon told Democratic Party supporters on an Election night Zoom call. “This has been the most contentious election I’ve personally been in.

The soul of this city has been at stake in this election.”

SLO County’s last election update before New Times’ press time on Nov. 4 showed 20,035 votes counted thus far in the city race—65.5 percent of registered voters.

Those numbers are expected to climb over the next several days as SLO County officials tally outstanding mail-in ballots, which could be in the 25,000 to 30,000 range countywide, according to the Clerk-Recorder’s Office. But Harmon’s hefty election night lead prompted a concession statement from Sweeney on Nov. 4.

“A humble thank you for the outpouring of inspiring support,” said Sweeney, a downtown business owner who emerged during the COVID-19 crisis as the leading challenger to Harmon, raising by far the most money of the candidates. “Connecting with thousands of SLO residents during this journey has revealed that change and intelligent conversations must continue to take place. The council has heard our message, and we now must trust they will be as committed to guiding our city to a brighter future.”

In the City Council race, Pease and Marx led a pack of eight candidates, receiving 24.6 percent and 20.5 percent of the vote, respectively, as of press time. Trailing in third place was Abrianna Torres at 16.8 percent,

followed by James Papp at 11.5 percent, Kelly Evans at 11.1 percent, Robin Wolf at 5.8 percent, Erik Long at 5.6 percent, and Jeff Specht at 4.1 percent.

If their leads hold, Pease, a local architect and business owner, would win a second term and Marx, dean of the SLO College of Law, would get another four years on a council she’s already served 12 on as a former City Council member and mayor.

Speaking by phone on Nov. 4, Pease called the unofficial results a signal that “we are going in the direction the community generally supports.” She cited the council’s focus on COVID-19 economic recovery, climate action, housing, and diversity and inclusion.

“I think that we did get a good affirmation,” Pease said. “At the same time, I’m looking again, recognizing there are a lot of folks who voted differently. I think we need to do an ongoing effort to reach out to those folks and we’re hearing their good ideas and considering all voices.”

“The fight has just begun,” Torres said in her statement. “We must continue to listen to our community, economic disparities—I think it’s been really focus on creating practical solutions, and put an challenging for us as a community to know how end to the divisive rhetoric once and for all.” to have those big conversations,” Pease said. “I SLO’s 2020 election proved emotional and think we’re more on the same page than what contentious, backdropped by racial justice got amplified during the election. But I think it protests and a crippling pandemic.

Tax hikes receive broad support throughout SLO County

about $1 million in general fund revenue for Pismo Beach each year.

Atascadero’s proposed 1 percent sales tax hike, Measure D-20, also received broad support, garnering yes votes from more than 60 percent of voters, as of Nov. 3. That came as a relief to both city and public safety officials in Atascadero, which takes in the lowest general fund revenue per capita in the county. Ron Overacker, president of the Atascadero Police Association, said the funds from the 1 percent sales tax increase will be used to make muchneeded improvements to the city’s public safety services, including increased staffing in both fire and police.

“We’re appreciative of the community for having faith in their leadership and in their city to make that investment in their community,” Overacker told New Times on Nov. 4.

While the state average calls for departments to have about 1.4 to 1.8 officers per 1,000 residents in a given community, Atascadero

Thousands of SLO County vote-by-mail ballots were still being counted on Nov. 4, but unofficial results from election night suggest that most cities in the county are about to get a revenue boost.

Six of the county’s seven cities put proposals to increase sales and transient occupancy taxes on this year’s ballot, and all of those measures received strong support from voters.

According to unofficial election results reported by the SLO County Clerk-Recorder’s Office at around 11 p.m. on Nov. 3, roughly 80 percent of Pismo Beach votes counted were cast in favor of a 1 percent increase to the city’s transient occupancy tax, which is charged to visitors staying hotels, RV parks, and other short-term lodging facilities. City officials say Measure B-20, which brings the tax up from 10 to 11 percent, could generate

currently has less than one officer per 1,000.

The department ran at a minimum staffing level 52 percent of the time in 2019, Overacker said in a previous interview with New Times.

The Atascadero Fire Department is also falling below the national average of 1.5 firefighters per 1,000 people—the department currently has 0.6.

“The members of the Atascadero Professional Firefighters Local 3600 are greatly appreciative to the residents of Atascadero and their support of Measure D-20,” Atascadero Fire Department Association President Brandon Roberts wrote in a statement to New Times. “The funding provided by this sales tax will help us to better serve our community safely and effectively well into the future.”

Similar measures aimed at increasing sales taxes by 1 percent saw support from voters throughout the county. According to the county’s unofficial results from Nov. 3, roughly 58 percent of voters were in favor of NEWS continued page 6

Paso’s sales tax increase, along with 54 percent in Grover Beach, 60 percent in Morro Bay, and 60 percent in San Luis Obispo. Revenue raised by the tax increases in every city will go largely toward balancing budgets, making up for shortfalls caused by COVID-19, improving infrastructure, and meeting public safety needs.

Arroyo Grande is the only city that didn’t put some kind of tax increase on its ballot. The Arroyo Grande City Council discussed putting a 1 percent sales tax hike on the November ballot at a meeting on July 14, but failed to take action on the item after Mayor Caren Ray Russom and other council members voiced concerns about increasing costs amid the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downfall.

North County preliminary election results show most incumbents kept their seats

In several Northern San Luis Obispo County cities and special districts, new candidates running for local government focused their campaigns on new voices and being watchful of long-term infrastructure projects and finances. However, preliminary election results show that residents were satisfied with the status quo as a majority of incumbent candidates are holding on to their elected positions.

In Atascadero, incumbent Mayor Heather Moreno had 5,132 votes as of Nov. 4, with opponents Jerry Tanimoto coming in at 4,187 and Josh Donovan trailing behind with 2,501.

Moreno is involved with several projects to close the community’s job and housing imbalance and campaigned to continue that work in collaboration with the city, investors, developers, and residents. The mayor also vowed to maintain an open line of communication with residents through programs like Talk on the Block to better understand community needs and answer questions.

Moreno told New Times the preliminary results are very encouraging and it has been a humbling experience to have the community’s support.

“Serving as mayor has been truly one of the greatest privileges that I’ve experienced and to know that people have trusted me, I hold that dearly and I take it very seriously,” she said. “I really look forward to all of us coming together and getting down to the work that needs to be done.”

Of the five City Council candidates vying for two open seats, incumbent Charles Bourbeau leads the pack with 4,927 votes. As of Nov. 4, only 40 votes separated candidates Mark Dariz and Tori Keen in their battle for the second available seat, with Dariz taking the lead with 4,340 votes.

Paso Robles held its first ever bydistrict elections, with Districts 3 and 4 on the ballot. Mayor pro-tem and City Councilmember Steve Gregory ran unopposed in District 3, receiving 99 percent of the votes to represent the southwest region of the city. In District 4, Paso’s southeast, current City Councilmember Fred Strong stays on the dais with approximately 63 percent of the vote over candidate Jacob Allred, who garnered 37 percent.

The Templeton community voted in favor of reelecting its current community services district board members.

The board had three open seats, and incumbents Pamela Jardini, Navid Fardanesh, and Debra Logan received approximately 32 percent, 31 percent, and 26 percent, respectively, of the local vote. Newcomer Dianna Vonderheide came in at 10 percent.

Cambria had three available seats on its community services district board. On Nov. 4, incumbent Harry Farmer held the lead with 30 percent of the vote, and newcomers Karen Dean and Tom Gray followed with 27 percent and 22 percent, respectively.

Morro Bay Mayor John Headding was leading a tight race with 2,832 votes on Nov. 4, with candidate John Weiss coming in a close second with 2,561 votes. If elected, this will be Headding’s second two-year term. Preliminary results show that the coastal city chose incumbent City Councilmember Robert Davis to represent them again with 2,599 votes and put newcomer Laurel Barton in the second available seat with 2,559 votes.

Barton, a two-year resident of Morro Bay, has a lengthy résumé that includes being a staff member for the city of Visalia, a City Council member, and a Visalia Unified School District board member. She’s pleased with the results so far and told New Times that once elected, she’s ready to see and work on the completion of the city’s much-anticipated $126 million water reclamation project.

“We have a lot to do in Morro Bay, such as rebuilding our economy as we’ve taken a huge hit, like many communities here in San Luis Obispo County, on our tourism dollars and we need to rebuild ourselves with our community in mind,” Barton said.

She spent her post-Election Day morning cleaning up her campaign signs around the city.

South County voters stick largely to status quo in Nov. 3 election

From Oceano to Pismo Beach, just a few new candidates earned comfortable leads over incumbents in the Nov. 3 election.

As of 11 p.m. on Nov. 3, roughly 4,752 ballots from Grover Beach’s 8,130 registered voters had been counted, and SLO County’s unofficial election results showed incumbent Mayor Jeff Lee taking a sizeable lead over his opponent, candidate Elizabeth Doukas, with more than 70 percent of the votes counted.

Doukas, a court reporter who ran on a platform of financial transparency and street repairs, has unsuccessfully campaigned for a City Council seat many times since 2006.

Three City Council seats were also up for grabs in Grover Beach this year, and incumbent Karen Bright took an early lead over her four opponents, with a little more than 30 percent of the votes cast. Candidate Anna Miller, director of property management for Peoples’ SelfHelp Housing, came in a close second with about 23 percent of the vote, enough to win the second vacant seat.

With years of experience working in the housing industry, Miller said in a previous interview with New Times that she hopes to broaden the city’s efforts to provide affordable and lowincome housing options to Grover Beach residents.

“I’m super excited about the potential of winning a seat on the Grover Beach City Council,” Miller told New Times on Nov. 4. “I hope I remain in the lead, but that’s to be seen.”

Candidate Will Bruce was closest on Miller’s heels as of Nov. 3, with about 17 percent of votes.

Electrical contractor and 15-year Grover Beach resident Robert Robert is vying to fill a two-year term left by former City Councilmember Barbara

Nicolls, who was elected in 2018 but retired on June 30 due to health issues.

With 34 percent of the votes, Robert had tiny lead over his opponents, according to unofficial election results. His opponents, Fred Buenrostro, Jr. and David Duringer, received 32.53 and 32.45 percent of the votes counted on Nov. 3, respectively.

Although Robert said the morning after Election Day that he didn’t want to “speak too soon,” he was happy about his lead in the unofficial results. He ran for City Council in 2018 and lost, but said he’s remained active in city politics ever since.

“So I’m very excited—very excited,” he said, “and I hope my lead holds.”

In Pismo Beach, voters appear to be sticking with incumbent Mayor Ed Waage, who came out several points ahead of candidate Dan Shadwell in the county’s unofficial election results.

Shadwell had received about 41 percent of Pismo’s votes as of 11 p.m. on Nov. 3, and he said the following morning that despite the results, he’s glad he was able to share his ideas for solutions to some of the long-ignored issues in Pismo Beach.

“I am hopeful that city leaders will take note of some of those ideas and look at implementing some, if not all,” he said.

“And those include beginning to trying to actively get people out of their cars and also to extend this bicycle path that we have.”

But Pismo Beach voters showed support for one new candidate: Scott Newton. Newton, a longtime Pismo Beach resident and small-business owner, led the race for two open council seats by 10 points in unofficial election results, ahead of incumbents Marcia Guthrie and Erik Howell.

While Guthrie had collected enough votes to earn herself another term as of Nov. 3, Howell, who was following Guthrie in third place by about 2 points, could be out of a job.

In Oceano, despite a contentious NEWS continued page 7

News NEWS from page 6

race for three open seats on the Oceano Community Services District board of directors, voters stuck to the status quo, reelecting incumbents Linda Austin, Shirley Gibson, and Cynthia Replogle.

Although Austin and some conservative community members throughout SLO County put their support behind candidate Barney Foster, he was in last place behind all three incumbents and two other candidates as of Nov. 3. Still, Austin said she was happy to receive the support she did from voters.

“I take this job very seriously,” she said, “and I love my community, and I do my best to serve.”

Cunningham holds edge over Addis for Assembly, Laird wins Senate seat

Neither candidate in the race for California’s 35th District Assembly seat delivered a hasty victory or concession speech on Nov. 3.

As of press time, election night results showed two-term incumbent Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) with a 52 percent to 48 percent edge on Democratic challenger Dawn Addis— with plenty of votes left to count.

The race to represent SLO and northern Santa Barbara counties in Sacramento is likely to come down to post-Election Day tallies of largely mailin ballots. Both candidates said they’re fine with waiting on the outcome.

“It’s incredibly close, and what we really want is every single ballot be counted,” Addis told New Times by phone. “That’s the most important thing right now.”

Cunningham echoed his opponent’s message in a written press statement.

“This election—like all of 2020—has been unprecedented. Given the impacts COVID-19 has had on the electoral process, we need to be patient and wait for all the votes to be counted,” Cunningham said.

First elected to the Assembly in 2016, Cunningham is in his closest race since he ran for state office. The former SLO County District Attorney’s Office prosecutor and school board official won his first two elections by 9 and 11 percentage margins respectively. He’s in much tighter race against Addis, a Morro Bay City Council member and co-founder of the local Women’s March.

PHOTO COURTESY OF CONGRESSMAN SALUD CARBAJAL’S FACEBOOK PAGE High voter turnout is expected in the Democratleaning district. In 2018, the race saw 174,743 total ballots cast. In 2020, officials already tabulated 166,133 votes by Nov. 4.

“It says that people value democracy,” Addis said. “They value our democratic system, being able to cast their vote, being able to speak up for what’s important.”

While the 35th Assembly race may take days to finalize, California Senate candidate John Laird is cruising to a victory in the 17th District race. The former Santa Cruz-area Assembly member has 68 percent of the vote thus far, CONTINUED REPRESENTATION U.S. Rep.

His ability to focus on the issues unique to the area has resonated with the voters, he said, such as legislation to reduce the cost of prescription drugs and health care premiums; moving forward with his California Clean Coast Act, which prohibits oil drilling off the coast; and the Central Coast Heritage Protection Act that puts more than 250,000 acres into conservation for the Los Padres National Forest.

Carbajal pointed to his track record of bipartisanship as another reason voters favored him for another term.

The congressman belongs to the Problem Solvers Caucus made up of half Democrats and half Republicans committed to finding common ground and breaking the gridlock in Washington. He said he took a civility class when he got to Washington, where he committed to working to find mutual understanding.

“I hope to continue to bring us together in Washington and to model the way for the Central Coast that I am somebody who is willing to work with anyone and everyone who’s willing to work with me on finding common ground to move solutions forward, be it for COVID, another economic relief package that has to be bipartisan, or comprehensive immigration reform,” he said.

His future goals include, Carbajal said, to move legislation forward that bridges some of the racial tensions and disparities that continue to exist in the country.

His hopes for 2021 include continuing to work through the pandemic, continue to provide economic relief to those in need and continue to find a vaccine that can be distributed to the greater community.

“To get a sense of normalcy so that we don’t have to choose between our public health and our economy. We can do it together smartly and safely. That is the first issue on the horizon and my hope for this coming year,” Carbajal said.

The rest of his priority list includes affordable and accessible health care; investing in infrastructure and providing jobs while moving toward renewable energy employment sectors; addressing climate change; investing in solar and offshore wind; and advocating for Vandenburg Air Force Base to expand its commercial launch opportunities in the hopes it becomes the headquarters for Space Command.

“And again making sure we protect the civil rights of minorities, women, and the LGBTQ community,” he said. ∆ —Karen Garcia

San Luis Obispo County homeowners raise awareness about discriminatory language in their housing deeds

I

n 2017, San Luis Obispo County native Jamie Lewis and her husband purchased their dream home in the city of San Luis Obispo, but they quickly learned the property had ties to historical racist housing policies.

“So we were able to buy our dream home on our dream street in our dream neighborhood in a really dreamy city. And it turns out that it’s by design,” she said.

When the couple was going through their deed and other property documents, Lewis said their real estate agent, Dawna Davies, printed out the declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions of the deed. Covenants contain restrictions, such as setting aside a specific portion of the land for utility installation or stating that a residential dwelling must be a certain distance away from the street.

Recorded in 1940, Lewis’ deed had 13 covenants. Her realtor pointed out one in particular, the sixth covenant: “No persons of any race other than the Caucasian race shall use or occupy any building or any lot, except that this covenant shall not prevent occupancy by domestic servants or a different race domiciled with an owner or tenant.”

“That language is so rattling. We don’t hear things like that. And we certainly don’t read things like that in a federal, state, regional, or city sanctions document,” Lewis said.

The language, known as a racially restrictive covenant, is in original property deeds throughout the United States. Racially restrictive deed covenants were embedded into property records during the 20th century to prohibit people of color from buying or occupying land. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states could not enforce racial restrictions in 1948, and in 1968, Congress outlawed them altogether.

Although the restrictions are unenforceable, they still exist on paper.

Lewis and her husband were shocked that a record of the covenant still existed, let alone was attached to their home.

“White privilege often looks like not being confronted with the realities of racism. I have never had to think about this,” she said. “I know a lot of people, especially Black and Indigenous people of color, will think it’s crazy that I had no idea, that so many of us had no idea, that this was going on.”

Lewis saved the digital copy of her deed at the bottom of her email inbox as a reminder that she had to do something about it. It stayed there until she watched the video of George Floyd’s death in May. She decided it was time to do something as an ally, no matter how big or small the action.

“I get how small this is, really. But it was a way that we could start a conversation with our neighbors about the fact that this is a white neighborhood,” she said.

When Lewis spoke with a property

attorney about removing the racially restrictive covenant, he advised her to reach out to a local organization to learn about the potential impacts of its removal.

There are many people, she learned, who argue in favor of keeping the covenant so that future homeowners are aware of its history. Lewis reached out to R.A.C.E. Matters SLO and agreed to work with the organization on a short documentary film, Restrictions Apply— slated to release on social media this month—about Lewis’ findings and the conversations she had with neighbors.

Lewis was once again pushed “to do something” in July when SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson said the county “was being trashed over an issue that is truly not here in that form.”

“Because now, we don’t just have an indication of system racism in San Luis Obispo County, we have certifiable codified government-approved proof of it,” she said.

The sheriff’s comments about a lack of racism in the county were also why Atascadero resident Judith Hemenway reached out to Atascadero Mayor

enforced segregation that people should pay attention to.

In her covenant research, Hemenway began reading Richard Rothstein’s book The Color of Law, which examines local, state, and federal housing policies that mandated segregation. Rothstein wrote about the establishment of the Federal Housing Administration in 1934, which refused to insure mortgages in and near Black neighborhoods, a policy also known as redlining.

A Reuters study detailed the inequality between white and Black Americans made possible by decades of laws and policies. According to the study, a Black family is about half as likely to own their home as a white family.

According to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, new data from the 2019 Survey of Consumer Finances show that long-standing and substantial wealth disparities between families in different racial and ethnic groups had hardly changed since the last survey in 2016. Wealth for this survey is defined as the difference between families’ gross assets and their liabilities.

The report states that the typical white family has eight times the wealth of the typical Black family.

The University of Minnesota’s mapping prejudice project reported majoritywhite neighborhoods to have more parks and more generous tree cover,

Racially restrictive deed covenants were embedded into property records during the 20th century to prohibit people of color from buying or occupying land. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states could not enforce racial restrictions in 1948, and in 1968, Congress outlawed them altogether.

Although the restrictions are unenforceable, they still exist on paper.

Heather Moreno about the racially restrictive covenant in Hemenway’s original 1919 deed—on the home she and her husband purchased in 2010— and how to remove it.

At the time, the city was working on creating a resolution that stated the city “will not tolerate racial bias and welcomes warmly and without reservation neighbors of all races and ethnicities.” Thanks to Hemenway, as part of the resolution, Atascadero went on the record to “repudiate historical racial restriction on ownership” and inform the community on how to redact the covenant from their deed.

“I think for us it was being able to recognize that this is an instance of major wrong that was against people of color and that is something that has had consequences ongoing, and in terms of [people of color’s] ability to accumulate wealth,” Moreno said.

For Hemenway, getting the word out is the tip of the iceberg, and it’s the country’s below-the-surface, government-

while communities of color have more environmental hazards like landfills and highways.

Realtor Davies said she combs through the fine print of all her clients’ paperwork and shares all the information she digs up on a property because it’s an ethical practice that her father, also a real estate agent, instilled in her.

Lewis isn’t the first client that she’s had to show a racially restrictive covenant to, Davies said, but Lewis is the first to get it redacted. However, Davies said, that’s not a positive or negative comment on any of her past clients.

She said she doesn’t have any anecdotal evidence that the covenant affects the valuation of a property today.

“In fact, it’s often most conspicuous in older areas that have gone up in value. So where it hits people is in its existence and the morality of it,” Davies said. “It should have never been there.” ∆ Staff writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

‘What’s the point?’

Lucia Mar is reopening its schools for in-person learning, but some parents say the split-day model presents serious logistical issues

W

hen local schools closed their campuses due to COVID-19, Sue Goss’ kids loved it. She has two daughters, a junior at Nipomo High School and an eighth grader at Mesa Middle School, and neither struggled with the transition to distance learning. They liked not having to get up so early. They liked doing schoolwork in their pajamas.

But as days, weeks, and eventually months passed, Goss said the fun of distance learning wore off, and now her kids desperately miss their friends and teachers.

It’s the same story with Goss’ sister’s kids, a sophomore and fourth grader also attending schools in the Lucia Mar Unified School District. Goss, who worked from home long before the pandemic, watches those two during the week while her sister is at work. They loved learning from home at first, but now they’re sick of being glued to a screen all day. They’re sick of struggling with rural Nipomo’s lacking Wi-Fi. “They all hate it,” Goss said.

When Goss heard that San Luis Obispo County schools would be eligible to reopen for in-person instruction, she thought her kids would want to go back. But Lucia Mar’s reopening plan—a hybrid model that includes both in-person and distance learning at all levels—isn’t what Goss and her kids had hoped it would be.

In an attempt to reduce person-toperson contact, Lucia Mar students are split in two groups: Those with last names that start with letters A through L attend in-person classes in the morning and finish out the day online, and those with last names that start with M to Z start the day online and attend in-person classes in the afternoon.

Shortly after SLO County met the state requirements necessary to reopen schools on Oct. 6, Lucia Mar started work on its reopening plan. The district welcomed back some students with special needs for in-person instruction in October and early November. And using a split-day

POKRAJAC

AUTOMOTIVE

hybrid learning model initially drafted and approved by Lucia Mar’s board of education in July, all elementary students will be able return to school campuses for a few hours a day, four days a week on Nov. 30, and middle and high school students will have the same opportunity starting Jan. 11, 2021.

For Goss—who cares for several kids with multiple last names, in different age groups, and who attend different schools—the logistics of Lucia Mar’s hybrid model would be “near impossible” to coordinate. Goss said that even with a flexible work schedule, she can’t spend that much time driving her kids to and from school.

“It’s just more of an inconvenience,” Goss said.

Still, she was willing to give it a try.

She talked to the kids individually, and even though they all want to go back to school, they didn’t feel it was worth the effort.

“So they just felt this isn’t socialization,” Goss said. “What’s the point?”

Parents, according to the draft plan, can either send their kids back to school, continue distance learning, or transfer

intended to maintain physical distancing.

All students, faculty, and staff will be required to wear masks and maintain 6 feet of physical distance from others at all times while on school grounds, according to the draft plan, and the same goes for school buses.

That’s a big factor for people like Kim Knapp, whose daughter is a freshman in high school in the Lucia Mar district.

Knapp said her daughter has been a star student ever since she was a little girl, but as a hands-on learner, the past few months of online schooling have been tough for her. When she received a C in biology this year—her worst grade ever— Knapp said she cried her eyes out.

Knapp wants her daughter back in school for the sake of her education and mental health, but when she saw Lucia Mar’s hybrid schedule, she almost immediately knew it wouldn’t be workable. Knapp also has preschoolaged child who attends day care, and to make the hybrid model work, Knapp would have to drop off her younger child at day care early, drop off her freshman at school before 8 a.m., get to work early, and then her husband would have to pick the kids up sometime around noon only to take the high schooler back to campus for cheerleading practice later in the afternoon, which she would then need a ride home from.

According to Lucia Mar’s draft plan, 25 percent of employees will be tested every two weeks and 100 percent will be tested every two months. their kids to Pacific View Academy, a Lucia Mar charter school with an independent study program.

District transportation will only be provided to students with individualized education plans or who are identified as being homeless. While roughly 2,300 Lucia Mar students use the district’s school busing system in normal times, Amy Jacobs, a district spokesperson, said only about 320 students could be bused under current COVID-19 restrictions

Fall’s Almost Here!

Normally her high schooler would take the bus home from school, but that’s not an option this year.

“It’s just too much time away from our jobs to taxi around our kids,” Knapp said.

And for less than three hours of inperson instruction a day, Knapp said her daughter agreed it wouldn’t be worth it.

“She’s like, ‘What’s the point?’” Knapp said.

For other parents, the threat of contracting COVID-19 is the biggest

November is MONARCH MONTH!

concern. Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Jennifer Handy said the district is doing what it can to find the balance between safety and a worthwhile return to school.

According to Lucia Mar’s draft plan, 25 percent of employees will be tested every two weeks and 100 percent will be tested every two months. Parents are required to screen their children for symptoms of COVID-19 every day before dropping them off on campus and symptomatic students will be required to stay home.

Documentation of negative test results “may be required” to return to school.

Individual school closures will be triggered if 5 percent of students or staff at a school are absent due to COVID-19 in a 14-day period, according to the draft, and the entire district will close if 25 percent of schools in the district are closed within 14 days.

So far, that’s working for some of Lucia Mar’s special needs students who have already returned to school. In a Nipomobased Facebook group, several Lucia Mar parents wrote in an Oct. 28 thread that although they were wary of sending their kids back, their kids have been happier since going back.

District officials hope that will be the case for all students who choose to return.

“It’s our every intent to keep things as stable as possible,” Handy said.

But Amanda Ramos Krepp foresees a lot of instability in the coming months.

Krepp is the parent of an elementary school student in the Lucia Mar district, and she said that while she’d love to see kids back in school, she worries that when some kids and staff inevitably test positive for COVID-19, everyone will be forced back into the distance learning model for short stints over and over again, putting kids in a constant limbo between online and in-person learning.

And, she said, returning to school right after Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks, when students and staff will likely be traveling and gathering in large numbers, seems like a bad idea.

“I don’t understand why they don’t take more time, work out some obstacles, and be much more prepared with less potential disruptions for the start of second semester,” Krepp wrote in a message to New Times. ∆ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@newtimesslo.com.

ission Prep High School senior Maddie Haddad called the Nov. 3 election “arguably the most important election in modern times.” And the 18-year-old wanted to do more than simply cast her first vote.

Haddad joined 62 of her high school peers between Oct. 31 and Election Day to volunteer their time at a San Luis Obispo County Vote Service Center.

Part of a Student Poll Worker Challenge, the teenage volunteers scattered throughout the county helped poll workers operate the centers, assist voters, and implement COVID-19 safety protocols.

For Haddad, it was a perfect opportunity to contribute to the democratic process for the first time.

“It feels extremely gratifying being able to help with this election,” Haddad told New Times via email. “It is so important that young people get involved and show their passion for the future of our country.

It is the first time that I and many other young people are able to vote, so I wanted to do my part in fulfilling this privilege that I now have.”

Haddad spent two days volunteering at the Octagon Barn in SLO. Her main job, she said, was to help voters correctly submit their ballots at the ballot drop box.

She also experienced a tense situation on Oct. 31 where a group of trucks with Donald Trump flags lined up across the street from the Octagon Barn.

“Obviously, it was a bit of a distraction, but I was mainly focused on just doing my job and helping the voters at the center,” Haddad said. “Ultimately, our job was to make sure that we help those who showed up and voted—I would say that we were successful in doing so, despite the company outside.”

While high school students have helped out with elections in SLO County before, their participation broke records this year.

“In the past, I’ve typically only gotten five to 10 students, maybe 15,” said Ashley Gibson, an election official in the SLO County Clerk’s Office.

Part of the surge was because SLO County Clerk-Recorder Tommy Gong turned student participation into a competition for the first time. The high school that brought out the most election volunteers gets “bragging rights and a trophy that will rotate between schools,”

according to a press release about the Student Poll Worker Challenge.

But a bigger reason, Gibson surmised, is that students are more enthusiastic than ever about this election.

“It’s different than anything I’ve ever seen,” she said. “I think the way things are politically, I think they’re just ready to be involved and ready to help. It’s been pretty awesome.”

Arroyo Grande High School took home the inaugural trophy this year, contributing 29 volunteers. SLO High School came in second with 13 volunteers, and Mission Prep had five.

For Haddad, the real prize is simple.

“I’m very grateful to even have the opportunity to vote,” she said.

Vacation rentals rule the day in Morro Bay

We can be complementary to one another

I

n case you missed the Oct. 27 City Council meeting, Morro Bay’s elected officials approved (4-1) a new short-term vacation rental ordinance after many months of meetings, discussion, and community input. While the ordinance was intended to “protect the quality and character of our neighborhoods,” it seems to primarily protect the financial interests of the vacation rental owners, the tax generated by their properties, and the California Coastal Commission’s desire that there be a wide variety of accommodations available to tourists.

None of this would be a problem unless you are one of the people who live next door or near a busy, “non-hosted” short-term vacation rental. These single-family homes typically accommodate eight to 12 people for the weekend (or up to 30 days), along with their cars, guests, pets, toys, etc. The negative impacts of what many consider to be commercial operations in residential areas form the crux of most complaints.

That, combined with the challenge and cost of enforcing rules and regulations, can make the “non-hosted” short-term rental a highly undesirable neighbor.

Many cities outside the jurisdiction of the Coastal Commission simply ban these kinds of rentals due to the deleterious effect they have on neighborhoods. Some cities accommodate these rentals by physically separating them from one another. “Buffer” distances (200 to 500 feet) are commonly used for this purpose. Los Osos is pursuing a 500-foot separation. By the way, there is no buffer distance required in Morro Bay’s

HODIN

new ordinance for existing short-term rentals. They have all been “grandfathered in” regardless of how many are clustered together as they commonly are in the beach tract. However, in a nod to our neighbors’ concerns, a minimum separation distance will apply to future vacation rentals. And that future buffer distance will be 175 feet.

Another option available to jurisdictions is to limit (cap) the overall number allowed, which is often tied to a percentage of housing stock available. I think most of us will agree there is a housing crisis in California, so the percentage of our stock that we remove from the potential long-term rental pool is important. Morro Bay’s previous mayor and council established a vacation rental cap of 250 in 2015, I believe. That amounts to 4 percent of our housing stock. When added to the fact that 20 percent of our homes here are vacant second homes, it means that 24 percent of our housing market was unavailable to those looking for long-term rental/purchase opportunities. So a reduced cap was important to our residents and was much discussed in the various meetings.

Several members of the initial ad hoc committee suggested a cap of 120, which would be about 2 percent of our housing stock. What is the final cap in the new ordinance? It’s 175; 3 percent of our singlefamily home inventory. How will the cap be reduced from 250 to 175? Through strict enforcement policies to be detailed in future resolutions, and attrition of existing permits over time. But first, the California Coastal Commission must certify the ordinance approved on Oct. 27. ∆ Jeff Heller is a Morro Bay City Council member.

I

n response to John Donegan’s column, “Hate” (Oct. 22), I would first of all point out that it is not liberals who scare the hell out of him, it is how liberals are depicted by Fox. I would also like to assert that scaring the hell out of people is a two-way street, with many liberals being terrified of conservatives.

The problem is, TV news-tainment long ago figured out that appealing to people’s fears is almost as effective as appealing to their more prurient interests. Fear attracts eyeballs—a strategy that has been wildly successful in the more technologically recent employment of “click-bait” on the web.

In recent years, the concept of media bias has been much discussed, with each side (conservatives and liberals) accusing the other of such bias, and of creating “fake news.” Until we own up to the fact that both sides are correct, we will continue to be stuck in the nightmare analogy Donegan describes of “two people stuck together in a car fighting over the steering wheel … .”

While hyper-polarization of our politics has become much worse under the current administration, I would assert that its immediate roots can be traced back to Newt Gingrich and his “Contract with America” following the midterm elections in 1994. While the eight “reforms” identified in the contract were quite reasonable, the 10 bills proposed had almost nothing to do with those reform goals. More importantly, the tone of political discourse became more

adversarial under Gingrich’s leadership.

The situation took another significant turn for the worse under Barack Obama, when Mitch McConnell said (in 2010) that “the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” Instead of focusing on passing legislation for the good of the American people, he was focusing with singular purpose on opposing the opposition party.

However, lest the reader think that I am placing all the blame on the Republicans (or conservatives, as the case may be), I want to make it very clear that I think the roots of our polarization go yet much deeper. I would assert that the fundamental problem we are facing is that as a nation, we have totally succumbed to the notion that politics is necessarily adversarial. I don’t know exactly what proportion of our leaders and politicians have been lawyers, but I’m pretty sure it is significant. And here’s the rub: Our system of justice is fundamentally adversarial. We speak of “opposing counsel” and of “winning” or (god forbid) “losing” a case. Additionally, our elections are a winner-takes-all affair. Rather than having proportional representation, so each faction has a proportional voice, the losers are effectively silenced.

Can we imagine any other way? Let’s take another look at Donegan’s car-fighting analogy. I am not a lawyer. Both my husband and I are engineers. Engineers have a completely different way of looking at the world compared to lawyers. We are accustomed to dealing with extremely complex so-called “real-world” problems.

What do you think about SLO County considering a $25,000 per person donation limit to local candidate campaigns?

OPPOSITE from page 12

Practically all of the problems we tackle are big enough and complex enough that we must form a team to tackle the problem together. We cooperate. We split the problem up into smaller pieces and assign responsibilty, based on each individual’s skills and proclivities. And—here’s the kicker—we have to respect reality. If we choose to ignore reality, it will come back and bite us: The computer won’t run, the rocket won’t launch, and the steering wheel we’re fighting over will steer us right over the edge of the cliff. Not particularly adaptive, is it?

Donegan also contrasts logic vs. emotion in his somewhat condescending example of Spock (logic) vs. Kirk (emotion) from the original Star Trek. Well, as you might guess, being engineers, both my husband and I have been Trekkies since the beginning. While Donegan apparently thinks that the message of the series was that emotion is superior to logic (an assertion he ridicules), I would contend that the message was rather that both logic and emotion are fundamental aspects of human nature (and Spock’s nature, by the way), and that it is the combination of the two that makes us as successful as we are.

And while we are on the subject of science fiction, I confess that I still consider it far and away the best of the entire Star Trek and Star Wars franchises, because it is fundamentally optimistic and benign in its world view: a diverse assortment of beings (including an alien or two) engaged in Exploring the Wonders of the Universe.

As the franchise progressed through Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, etc.,

46% It’s way too high. The state’s is $4,700 per contributor and that’s already too high.

41% The county should just default to the state limit.

Sounds about right. Campaigning is expensive.

How about somewhere in between $4,700 and $25,000?

the weltanschauung shifted from benign exploration to The Fight of Pure Good Against Monstrous Evil. I do not think that progression is accidental.

Regardless of who wins this election, we will most certainly continue to face the same forces of hate and conflict, of fearmongering and power struggles, and as long as we fail to recognize how each and every one of us is complicit in that, we will continue to fear and hate our adversaries, and fail miserably at solving the very real problems we are all facing.

We need to recognize—at long last— that we do not have to be opposites.

We can choose to work together, as complementary members of a single team.

The opposite of opposite is complement. ∆

istrust of the media is as high as I can remember for good reason.

Our national and often local press is lockstepped in ideological conformity and demands that its readers join in conformity of thought. Forsaking objectivity, the assumption of moral superiority of Democrats over Republicans on any issue is obligatory. “Everyone knows Democrats listen to the science” and “Republicans never open a book let alone read one.” The facts, once explored, reveal a different world.

I’ve written several articles on “myths” (“Myth busting,” Sept. 10, and “Myth busting II,” Oct. 8), that deflate “common knowledge” at least as it’s defined on the left. One issue I raised and which a respondent critiqued in a letter (“Myth busting proves a myth,” Oct. 29) was who actually got the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts of 1964/1965 passed?

Digging a bit deeper, you will discover that a greater percentage of Republicans supported the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts than Democrats. Using the respondent’s own numbers, Democrats fell short of a majority in passing the Civil Rights Acts even though they held an overwhelming numerical advantage, holding majorities in both the House and the Senate. Commentator Ben Shapiro noted this in his broadcast, but it can be easily verified that a greater percentage of Republicans supported the Civil Rights legislation of the 1960s than Democrats.

Southern Democrats, historically the defenders of slavery and the architects of Jim Crow laws that kept Black Americans in virtual indentured servitude for 100 years after the Civil War, did their utmost to keep segregation alive throughout the nation. In fact, Senate Southern Democrats filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for 60 days to prevent its passage. Democrats continue to support policies that act against the best interest of Black Americans, especially in our major cities, such as “defunding the police.” When polled, innercity Black Americans living in high-crime communities support more police, not less.

racist, citing a speech made after a race riot in which he stated “there were good people on both sides … .” Left out was the fact that (in the same sentence) he condemned both the white supremacists and the anarchists who fomented violence, referring to the “good people” as being those with differences of opinion regarding the historical meaning that statues held for different people.

We can have differences of opinion in America without either side being disparaged as racist. Yet the media continuously ask the president and his supporters if he is willing to denounce white supremacists disregarding that during his tenure he has publicly denounced white supremacists and all racism no less than 38 times! None of that matters to a hostile press with an agenda (we hate/destroy Trump, et al). In this world, the story must promote the agenda, whether it’s a discredited accusation of a Trump-Russian collusion to steal an election or disregarding a verified story of corruption by the son of Vice President Joe Biden. Despite media claims of Russian disinformation, the director of national intelligence verified that there was no intelligence indicating that the Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation.

The FBI also verified that the laptop and its hard drive actually belonged to Hunter Biden. National media has buried this story, and social media platforms censor viewers from reading anything about it.

Regarding climate change, readers are endlessly barraged with stories that immediate disasters are tied to climate change, such as recent wildfires. Eminent scientists have presented volumes of evidence to the contrary to no avail. Mantras of climate disaster are endlessly repeated as fact: recent wildfires are a result of climate change. They are not. Fire ecologists, fire behavior specialists, foresters, fire historians, and atmospheric scientists, even those of NASA have debunked the idea that our current, terrible fire season was a result of climate change. Read what they’ve written; they will tell you that current

In our present day, an ideologically conforming press relentlessly distorts issues and candidates into caricatures of the truth. One such caricature is that the president is a racist … .

As the party of Abraham Lincoln, Republican history is the history of abolition, incorporating those who for 87 years fought against the expansion of slavery in the new Republic and ultimately, fought a bloody civil war to preserve the Union and eventually to end slavery by force of arms. More Union soldiers died in this conflict than Confederate rebels, and the victory was imperfect but ultimately inspired. It was so much so that the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” was written to inspire both soldier and civilian alike that the fight to end slavery was a moral imperative required to save the Union.

In our present day, an ideologically conforming press relentlessly distorts issues and candidates into caricatures of the truth.

One such caricature is that the president is a

wildfires were predicted and not a result of a miniscule elevation of temperatures.

We live in a Mediterranean climate with hot temperatures, (dry) low humidity with highly flammable vegetation piling up for decades. Fire history in America, long before anyone heard of climate change, was one of massive wildfires burning for weeks or months. Entire communities were razed, hundreds died.

The difference today is that we have TV and instant social media instead of a newspaper article printed days after the event and a generation of people who think history started yesterday. ∆ Al Fonzi had a 35-year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

The Shredder

Politics as unusual A nybody know who’s presidentelect? SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow says he knows a dude who knows.

“The outcome of the election will not be a surprise to God,” Dow posted on his Facebook page. “He is already there in the future. So, there is no need to worry or be anxious.” Underneath Dow’s proclamation was a meme of a pier at sunset overlaid with a verse from Philippians 4:6, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.

Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.”

OK! Dear God, please explain separation of church and state to Dow and help him understand how divisive he’s being. Remind him that not all his constituents share his Christian faith, and when they see him flouting state health mandates by announcing that SLO County is a “sanctuary county for worship and praise in church” or posting Bible verses to social media, it makes some of us wonder if, as the chief law enforcement official in the county, he’s committed to following the law or following his own personal ideology.

Also, God, while I’ve got you on the line, please explain to all of us your behavior.

You’re omniscient, right? So you know everything. You know even before we’re born whether we’ll be good and worthy of heaven or bad and sent to hell for

Supporting local journalism, one ticket at a time.

eternity. I dunno, but it seems a tad mean that you created us as we are, flaws and all, and that you know some of us will be burning in hell for eternity but you make us anyway. I know you sometimes get pissed off and all. I mean, that worldwide flood was a real bummer, not to mention all the smiting, but the whole hell thing seems really vindictive. Just sayin’.

P.S.—God, if the Cheeto-Bandito manages to win a second term, mark me as OK with smiting him. He’s smiteable! No one’s more smite-able in the history of smiting. Remember in 1 Kings 20:30 when you made that wall fall and kill 27,000 soldiers retreating from the Israelites? That was some world-class smiting, and there’s this wall on our southern border, and … well, you know where I’m going. You’re omniscient!

Thanks for all that you do!

Speaking of hypocrites, I keep seeing people losing their shit on social media over so-called Trump Trains, those lines of pickup trucks flying American flags and Trump banners and revving their engines through your neighborhoods while you’re trying to read The Atlantic or The New Yorker like a good little left-winger.

So you’re fine with Black Lives Matter protests shutting down Highway 101 because—FREE SPEECH!—but eight monster truckers roll down your street and you have an online conniption fit? What gives? Hypocrite much?

Also, Trump Train wrecks, go ahead and drive your stupid gas-guzzlers around with your MAGA hats, “I Hate Libtards” bumper stickers, and trailer hitch testicles as much as you want, but when you park your stupid-ass trucks with your proTrump banners in front of the Octagon Barn, which is a voting center, now you’re guilty of voter intimidation, dumbasses.

I personally like MAGA hats. Makes it easier to spot the fascists and racists!

Interestingly, despite SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson’s earlier pronouncement that SLO County isn’t a racist place—that BLM protest were examples of SLO County “being trashed over an issue that is truly not here in that form”—turns out there’s now irrefutable proof that SLO County is systemically racist as hell. Lots of SLO County housing deeds still to this very day contain covenants that say, “No persons of any race other than the Caucasian race shall use or occupy any building or any lot, except that this covenant shall not prevent occupancy by domestic servants or a different race domiciled with an owner or tenant.”

What the what? Yes, read all about it in “In the system” (p. 8), where you’ll discover SLO was designed to put white peeps in power like all the other happy towns

around the country. Hopefully despite these racist covenants, which by the way are no longer legally enforceable, thank God (and the Supreme Court), most SLOcals are getting woke. As I write this, only 65 percent of cast votes were tallied, but we’re looking like a Biden/Harris county, 59.71 percent to Trump/Pence’s 38.22 percent.

It also appears we’re supporting Salud Carbajal for another term as the 24th District U.S. Representative.

It’s a real squeaker between incumbent 35th District State Assemblyperson Jordan Cunningham (50.75 percent) and his challenger Dawn Addis (49.25 percent). It also appears SLO Towners are willing to give the red-rose-festooned another shot at making SLO into a progressive-environmentalist paradise.

Mayor Heidi Harmon currently has 53.93 percent of the vote compared to her closest challenger Cherisse Sweeney at 32.28 percent. Nice try, conservatives, but no Republican cigar!

It also looks like Sweeney’s alliance with SLO council candidate Abrianna Torres has failed. Torres (16.81 percent) trails incumbent Andrea “Andy” Pease (24.60 percent) and former mayor Jan Howell Marx (20.54 percent). In other election news, did you know there’s a Ground Squirrel Hollow Community Services District? Me neither! And get this! Looks like SLO has agreed to raise its sale tax with Measure G-20 (59.61 percent yes). ∆ The Shredder is praying. Send thoughts and prayers to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Carbon City Lights’ new album explores loss and renewal

I

f you want to hear the sweetest love story followed by the saddest tragedy followed by the sweetest blessing, keep reading. Carbon City Lights frontman Michael Venia was born in Saudi Arabia, and lived there his first decade. Meanwhile, his eventual wife, Brittany, was on the other side of the country, brought there by her family when she was young. They never met there.

Michael wound up in Pasadena for school, and Brittany was also in California.

Ships in the night. Later, when Michael was playing music and studying sound engineering in Toronto, friends of friends introduced them and shazam! Love. Like a Meg Ryan rom-com, they’d literally been passing one another in three countries over years. They got married and got pregnant. Now the tragedy.

“It’s been about a year now,” Michael explained during a phone interview. “We were expecting a boy, and we were going to the hospital for a checkup on the due date, and my wife said something felt off.

There was no movement, and when we got there, they confirmed that there was no heartbeat. We were in the hospital for about a week to go through the delivery process. It was tough.”

They had planned to name their son Luca, bringer of light.

“There’s a single on the new album, ‘Light,’ that’s a tribute to him, and though there’s darkness and loss, it’s also about hope and optimism,” Michael said.

“Light” starts with a driving baseline before Michael’s vocals come in: “We had a dream that faded. We had a life that floated away. You know the sun came rising, and with the light came a new better day. Head down a dark road, yeah.

We’re seeing all the other headlights, and in the dark times, you’ve got a candle blowing in the wind, and when the night

falls, yeah, you’re the light that I LETTING THE LIGHT IN Carbon City Lights releases their new album see coming Flame in the Winter on Nov. 14. in.

I lost I also promised you a blessing. someone in the last few years. Oh the “My wife and I are pregnant again,” thought of it makes me want to hide, so Michael said on Nov. 3. “We’re actually in I’m writing this to let you know I feel like the hospital now. There’s nothing wrong, but never losing you one day. I would never be they want to get things moving, and I think the same. Yeah-ah-ah, if I ever lost you, they’re going to induce labor tomorrow.” yeah. If I ever lost you, yeah.”

Brittany’s 37 weeks pregnant, and she The album’s title track, “Flame in the and Michael have named their new boy Winter”—also a tender ballad that’s Canyon. Carbon City Lights’ new album, warmed up beautifully by Liepman’s Flame in the Winter, will be released on cello—goes, “Like a flame in the winter, Saturday, Nov. 14 (6:30 to 8:30 p.m.), like a bird in the summer, I can feel you and they’ll either be streaming a live around me, I can sense when you’re near show or, if possible, having a limited me.

Michael’s band includes Central Coast “Dive in the River” is one of record’s locals Bret Heenan (lead guitar), Dan heavier tracks: “I close my eyes and Hernandez (bass), Gerald Purify breathe, to watch my mind get heavy. I (drums), and Bob Liepman (cello). fight fire with rage. I just can’t walk away.

Michael lists the Dave Matthews Band, I try to warn myself, stop chasing ghosts Pearl Jam, and Coldplay as inspiration, and let go. I think I’m going insane. I and a lot of the new album’s songs are want to dive in the river. I want to feel alt-rock nuggets, but I’m especially like I’m letting go, letting go. I close my digging the ballads, many of which are an eyes as I float away, far away. I want to expression of Michael’s loss. feel like I’m letting go, letting go.”

“SLO Town” is Michael and Brittany’s story of falling in love with San Luis Obispo: “I came to you here in this beautiful old town. On a Thursday night, I knew it felt right. With all the memories now, we’ve made it our home town. We’re driving up the coast, see where it takes us. I was always thinking you’d be the one I settle down with in this town. SLO Town with you, slow down with you.”

It’s a really moving, beautiful sounding album. Congratulations to Michael and Brittany and SLO Town’s newest resident, Canyon, who by the time you read this will probably be here.

Ranchers for Peace No. 3

Chas. Duncan, chief songwriter for the father-daughter duo Ranchers for Peace, recently posted the third track from their Live at the Red Shack album, and it’s wonderful. “Favor from the Rain” features a duet by Chas. and daughter Ray Duncan, singing a song we need to hear. “Maybe this rain / Will carry our sins away / And lead us to a brighter day / Away from this pain / Where anger and mistrust / Are swept away and justice / And compassion will remain/ We ask this favor from this rain.”

Gallery at Marina Square showcases paintings by Spanky Anderson and photography by Carlo Christian

For its November exhibition, Gallery at Marina Square in Morro Bay will showcase paintings by Spanky Anderson and photography

by Carlo Christian. The duo exhibit is scheduled to remain on display through Sunday, Nov. 29.

According to press materials from the gallery, Anderson grew up in Georgia and learned to draw and paint at an early age. Anderson later graduated from the University of West Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts degree in art. Shortly after graduation, Anderson began his career as a graphic designer and colorist with a major carpet and textile manufacturer.

The artist currently resides in Morro Bay, where he enjoys painting local landscapes and seascapes.

“My peripheral vision of the Central Coast virtually dictates the color palette and brush strokes onto my canvas,” Anderson said in the press release.

Christian’s interest in natural and human history has shaped his choices in photographic subjects, the professional photographer and chemist explained in an artist statement.

“I love revisiting deserted buildings, farms, ranches, and junkyards over time as they return to nature—the sacred circle,” Christian said. “These abandoned places whisper stories of our ancestors’ dreams and lives when we take the time to look and listen.

My ambition is to share those impressions.”

Gallery at Marina Square is located at 601 Embarcadero, suite 10, Morro Bay. Visit galleryatmarinasquare.com for more info.

Local artists and artisans offer unique gifts for the holidays at three local craft events

S

LO County is overflowing with artistic talent, and nowhere is that more apparent than at annual holiday craft fairs. Nearly every city has one, but here are three worth putting on your radar.

Studios on the Park in Paso Robles is a nonprofit, open-studio art center, and according to Up Front Gift Store Sales Manager Elaina Stangle, the “Handcrafted for the Holidays Exhibition features over 30 local artists and fills the space and allows gallerygoers to buy art at accessible price points. We have so many talented people in our community. I’m always amazed at the art that comes through our doors. It’s such a wonderful feeling when I have visitors tell me that they wish they had a place like Studios on the Park where they live.”

Check their website for hours, but the holiday craft display runs through Dec. 30.

“This year’s exhibition will feature unique handmade creations including jewelry, ceramics, glass, wood items, silk, felt, paper goods, garden items, as well as affordable wall art,” Stangle added. “My hope is that Handcrafted for the Holidays will allow people to step away from shopping online and help support local businesses that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

This annual event has been extended into a two-month-long show for the first time, and “a portion of all sales from the exhibition will not only help the local artists but will go back into programming for children, teens, and adults at Studios on the Park, and will allow Paso

its deforestation, Palau’s rebuilding of its fisheries, and the Netherlands’ innovative land use and agricultural practices.

Mixing gorgeous shots of nature with horrifying examples of human destruction, it depicts a civilization at a crossroads. Will we continue down this selfish path, turning our whole planet into Pripyat, or will we have the political will and wisdom to make the sacrifices and hard choices to save ourselves and our home? Attenborough is hoping for the latter rather than the former.

Anna It’s a hard look at a difficult subject, and not one that’s easy to confront. The beauty of nature contrasted with the ugly truth of destruction is an effective method for getting his point across, and Attenborough is adept at presenting both truths. He’s a treasure as a filmmaker and advocate for nature, and the fact that he’s still at it at 94 years old is a gift. Is this film a big bummer? For sure. Does it still offer hope? Yep. I have no doubt that Attenborough has to keep hope alive to continue his work. Perhaps it will serve to educate and inspire, surely what it is meant to do as opposed to depress and dishearten. I encourage all to watch, just know A Life on Our Planet may not leave you feeling a whole lot of faith in things actually turning around.

It’s an important look at the harsh reality we live with today. ∆

Wine and beer

BY CAMILLIA LANHAM

Challenge your palate SLO Wine and Beer gives you education, options, and prices that can’t be beat so you can drink outside the box

W

hat do New Zealand, Bordeaux, Rioja, Mendoza, and Paso Robles have in common?

Wine, for one. But that’s obvious.

The other one is this: You can find wines from them and almost every other wine-producing region around the world at SLO Wine and Beer Co. But they likely won’t be wines you’ve ever heard of, much less tasted. And that’s the fun of it for owner Aaron Warren, who opened his wine and beer shop and wine bar earlier this year on South Higuera Street.

The shop is 2,600 square feet of space dedicated to wine and beer, and it’s a cozy place to belly up and have a taste or more of what they’ve got to share.

Tasting is the ticket to this particular wine shop experience. That way, you can try before you buy, to a certain extent.

“Ultimately, it gets down to: I think it’s so key to be able to expose people to wine. If they can get the wine in the glass, and get their nose in it, and get it in their mouth, they’re going to be so much more open to it,” he said. The goal is to get people to try things they may not otherwise. To “simply round people’s palates out and get them to explore the world ... and I think that it’s easy to achieve that by pulling a cork and pouring a bottle and being able to have an intimate conversation about that.”

But, the wine bar part of the operation is still waiting out the COVID-19 pandemic. His timing is impeccable, Warren said with a laugh.

“Literally two days before we opened the doors, we found out we couldn’t pour at the wine bar,” he said.

Not to worry, though, it’ll happen soon, Warren said. Either when San Luis Obispo County moves from the red tier to the orange one in the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy, allowing more businesses to open with restrictions, or

when he figures out exactly how to bring food into the picture. In any case, Warren said, there are options.

And options are exactly what he wanted his store to bring to the area.

Warren grew up in Morro Bay and started working in chowder houses at the age of 14, slowly winding his way into finer and finer dining as he got older, and finer and finer wines. Eventually becoming a wine broker, Warren sold Central Coast wines all over the U.S. But he always came back. And when he came back, he would look for the wines that he wanted to drink.

But they were nowhere to be found.

He wanted a place with the right pricing, the right selection, and the right feel.

So finally, he said, he pulled the trigger and decided to open that exact place.

SLO Wine and Beer isn’t bringing in the same wines that a BevMo, Trader Joe’s, or Costco is. Warren’s focus is on wines with a little less notoriety and a little more character.

“To give people exposure to what’s out there, to get people away from those bulk, established producers and get them to look at more of those tiny, single vineyard gems that are oozing terroir, you know.

Small production stuff that you won’t see anywhere else,” he said. “These tiny guys that are pouring themselves and everything into this wine.”

New World wines like those being produced on the Central Coast, Old World wines like those being produced in Europe, and even some of the in between.

With CMS and WSET credentials— sommelier and wine education programs, respectively—Warren said he’s tasted every bottle in the shop.

“I’m extremely picky,” he said. “Every single wine in here I taste over a 24-hour period and I scrutinize the hell out of it.”

That way he can give customers tasting notes, advice on the best time to drink

Try and buy

Although wine is a focus, there’s plenty of beers— local, European, and more crafty beverages—on SLO Wine and Beer Co.’s shelves, too. Visit the shop to see the selection for yourself at 3536 S. Higuera St. in SLO. Check out slowineandbeerco.com to learn more.

it after opening, what to eat it with, and the best way to cellar it. What’s really fun for Warren is walking people through a tasting where they can compare and contrast varieties grown in different regions, because a Burgundian varietal such as pinot noir tastes different when it’s grown in Burgundy than, say, the Edna Valley.

That’s in part because of climate and soil, and in part because of the way grapes are grown, pressed, and aged.

Production techniques, Warren said, can vary widely.

With someone who likes pinot noir, Warren said the first thing he does is suggest that they look at Burgundy wines “Let’s go to its origin and see the difference,” he said.

Burgundian pinot noir (aka Burgundy), he said, has “haunting, deeply floral aromatics,” and a “brilliant, radiant kind of ruby rose” color. Aged in French oak barrels, Burgundy tends to taste more of baking spices like cardamom. Whereas a pinot from California will likely use American oak and is potentially blended with a little bit of zinfandel or syrah. These pinots have more of a deeper red color and notes of vanilla and toffee.

Of course, pinot noirs vary widely in depth, aroma, and flavor profiles. The grape is versatile. Warren said there are producers on the Central Coast who craft Burgundian-style pinots (Old World) as well as those who tend to create more New World, fruit- and alcohol-forward wines.

But really the only way to know the difference is to taste for yourself. And there are plenty of ways to figure out what you want to drink and what you should be drinking, even without access to a wine bar—yet. SLO Wine and Beer is all about the customer experience, asking and

answering questions about the selection and taste preferences.

“When people walk in here, they’re greeted and treated like family, because this is my life’s passion. Next to my kids, this is what I live for,” he said.

The price points are some of the best around, some wines are even cheaper than you can get in local tasting rooms, because Warren is sure to buy in bulk at wholesale prices. And the selection? “I’d go as far to say that it’s the largest on the Central Coast,” Warren said.

Plus, if you’re feeling particularly good about exploring the world of wine, you can join the SLO Wine and Beer wine club.

Twice a year, the shop packs up a case of 12 bottles from wine regions across the world for less than $200. Including eight reds, two whites, a rose, and a sparkling, the shipment is a blend of local, domestic, and far-flung regions.

Warren said he goes overboard to keep it exciting and challenge people.

The first wine club shipment, which was packed up at the end of October, included a 2017 Juan Gil Silver Label monastrell from Jumilla, Spain; a 2018 Huntaway Reserve sauvignon blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand; a Republic of Pink rose from Santa Barbara County; a 2018 Olema pinot noir from Sonoma County; and more.

“It’s like getting a gift,” Warren said, adding that the club is just another way for SLO Wine and Beer to show their customers appreciation. “We sincerely are just excited to talk with you and share our passion. That’s kind of, at the end of it all, that’s why I do this. I love people. I love what I do.” ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham appreciates variety and all the spices that come with it.

Applicant:

City of Pismo Beach

Project #:

P20-000003

Description:

A public hearing of the City Council to consider approval of a Draft General Plan Housing Element Update for the 2020-2028 (6th Cycle) planning period.

The City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element Update is a comprehensive statement by the City of Pismo Beach of its current and future housing needs and proposed actions to facilitate the provision of housing to meet those needs. The proposed Housing Element is a policy-level document that provides policy direction for the implementation of various programs to accommodate the housing needs of projected population growth, and to encourage the production of housing units in a range of prices affordable to all income groups.

Environmental Review: In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Mitigated Negative Declaration was previously adopted for the 5th Cycle Housing Element (State Clearinghouse Number 2019079064) adopted November, 2019. Under Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, an addendum to a negative declaration may be prepared when only minor technical changes are required and when no conditions identified in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines are present. Due to the nature of the project, an Addendum to the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared.

WHAT: Hearing to consider a request by Emilio Cortez for a Conditional Use Permit (DRC2019-00058) to establish 27,216 square feet (sf) of indoor cannabis cultivation area (20,412 sf canopy); 6,552 sf of ancillary indoor nursery (5,103 sf canopy); 2,612 sf of indoor cannabis manufacturing and ancillary processing; ancillary transport; and other related site improvements (e.g., composting area, trash / recycling area, water tanks, parking, portable restrooms, storage shed, indoor office / restroom building; etc.). A parking modification is requested to allow 13 parking spaces versus 71. A modification of the fencing standards is requested to allow security fencing within the side yard setback and no security fencing around the cannabis manufacturing / ancillary processing building. The project will result in approximately 1,288 cubic yards (cy) of cut and 956 cy of fill and total site disturbance of approximately 2.04 acres on a 22.32 acre parcel located at 375 Mehlschau Road, about 1 mile northeast of the community of Nipomo. The project is within the Agriculture land use category and within the South County Inland Subarea of the South County Planning Area.

Also to be considered at the hearing will be adoption of the Environmental Document prepared for the item. The Environmental Coordinator, after completion of the initial study, finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report is not necessary.

Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and CA Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.) has been issued on October 16, 2020, for this project. Mitigation measures are proposed to address Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Energy, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Transportation, and Mandatory Findings of Significance and are included as conditions of approval.

The Environmental Document is available for public review at the Department of Planning and Building, at the below address.

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 best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Date: 10/13/2020. All American Foreclosure Service, 1363 Marsh Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 (805) 5437088. Sheryle A. Machado, Certified Trustee Sale Officer October 22, 29, & November 5, 2020

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO CASE No.: 20FL-0443 CITATION - FREEDOM FROM PARENTAL CUSTODY AND CONTROL

In the Matter of the Adoption Petition of: Saul Ulivarria, Adopting Parent.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA To: Fermin Garcia, By order of this court you are hereby advised that you may appear before the judge presiding in Department 9 of the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408, on 01-22-2021, at 10:00 a.m. then and there to show cause, if any you have, why Sophia Janessa Morales should not be declared from your custody and control for the purpose of freeing Sophia Janessa Morales for placement for adoption. The following information concerns rights and procedures that relate to this proceeding for the termination of custody and control of said minor child as set forth in Family Code Section 7860 et seq.: 1.

At the beginning of the proceeding the court will consider whether or not the interests of the minor child require the appointment of counsel.

If the court finds that the interests of the minor do require such protection, the court will appoint counsel to represent him/her whether or not he/she is able to afford counsel. The minor will not be present in court unless he/she requests or the court so orders.

2.

If a parent of the minor appears without counsel and is unable to afford counsel, the court must appoint counsel for the parent, unless the parent knowingly and intelligently waives the right to be represented by counsel. The court will not appoint the same counsel to represent both the minor and his/her parent.

3.

The court may appoint either the public defender or private counsel. If private counsel is appointed, he or she will receive a reasonable sum for compensation and expenses, the amount of which will be determined by the court. The amount must be paid by the real parties in interest, but not by the minor, in such proportions as the court believes to be just. If, however, the court finds that any of the real parties in interest cannot afford counsel, the amount will be paid by the county.

4.

The court may continue the proceeding for not more than thirty (30) days as necessary to appoint counsel to become acquainted with the case.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: At what moment in your past were you happiest about the person you were? Can you recreate it? Freewillastrology.com ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): Aries poet Charles Baudelaire championed the privilege and luxury of changing one’s mind. He thought it was natural and healthy to always keep evolving beyond one’s previous beliefs and attitudes, even if that meant one might seem inconsistent or irrational.

“It is lamentable,” he once proclaimed, “that, among the Rights of Human Beings, the right to contradict oneself has been disregarded.” I bring these thoughts to your attention, dear Aries, so that you will feel at peace with the prospect of outgrowing rules, strategies, and approaches that have worked well for you up until now—but that have outlived their usefulness.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the 1970s, an Englishman named Stephen Pile founded the Not Terribly Good Club. It was designed to be a gathering place for mediocre people whose lives were marked by inadequacy and incompetence. To organize his thoughts about the club’s themes, Pile eventually published a book entitled The Book of Heroic Failures. Unfortunately, it sold so many copies that he got expelled from his own club. He had become too successful! I suspect that in the coming months, you may have an experience akin to his. The odds are good that you’ll find interesting success in an area of your life where you have previously been just average.

TAURUS

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “At every crossroad, be prepared to bump into wonder,” wrote Scorpio poet James Broughton. I believe that’s stirring advice for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks. Broughton’s words inspired me to come up with a corollary for you to heed, as well: “At every turning point, be ready to stumble into an opportunity disguised as a problem.” I’ve got one more clue for you. Last night in my dream, my Scorpio poetry teacher offered a thought that’s well-suited for you right now: “Whenever you want to take a magic twisty leap into the big fresh future, be willing to engage in one last wrestling match with the past.”

(April 20-May 20): The horoscopes I write are my love letters to you. As I compose them, my goal is to celebrate your beauty and strength even as I discern what’s lacking in your life and what confusions might be undermining you.

In my philosophy of life, that’s how love works at its best: remaining keenly aware of the good qualities in the beloved while helping them deal with their problems and heal their wounds. I suggest that in the coming weeks you adopt my approach for use with your own close relationships.

Your allies are in special need of both your praise and your rectifications.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When Charles de Gaulle was 15 years old, he wrote “General de Gaulle,” a short story in which he envisioned himself, many years in the future, as a general in the French army. Thirty-five years later, his imaginary tale came true, as he became a general of the free French army fighting against Germany in World War II. In the spirit of de Gaulle’s prophecy, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I encourage you to compose a comparable tale about your own destiny. Have fun as you visualize in great detail a successful role you will play months or even years from now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In 1903, archaeologists digging in a cave in Cheddar Gorge, England, found the fossilized remains of “Cheddar Man,” a person who had lived there 9,000 years earlier. In 1997, DNA tests revealed that a teacher named Adrian Targett, who was living a half-mile from the cave, was a direct descendant of Cheddar Man. I propose that we invoke this scenario to serve as a metaphor for you in the coming months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, your ancestors are likely to play a bigger role in your life than usual. Connections between you and them will be more vivid and influential and worthy of your meditations.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to the film Amadeus, composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) and Antonio Salieri (1750-1825) were adversaries who disliked and undermined each other. But there’s evidence that this was not entirely true. In fact, they collaborated on creating a cantata that was performed by Nancy Storace, a famous singer they both admired. It’s unlikely they would have cooperated in such a way unless they had a working relationship. I suspect that a comparable correction is due in your world, Leo. It’s time to dissolve a misunderstanding or restore a lost truth or fix an old story that got some of the facts wrong.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to ask for help and seek support. I urge you to be forthright in doing so! Resources that have been inaccessible before may be more available now. I suspect you will be able to capitalize on the luck and skill of allies who have benefited from your favors in the past. Their successes could bring you blessings and their breakthroughs should inspire you to instigate breakthroughs in your own life. Be straightforward: Ask them to lend their influence in your behalf.

SCORPIO

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Actor Gary Busey is quirky and kooky, but his peculiar rants sometimes make good sense. Here’s one that I suspect might be useful for you to consider during the next two weeks: “It’s good for everyone to understand that they are to love their enemies, simply because your enemies show you things about yourself you need to change. So in actuality enemies are friends in reverse.” I don’t mean to imply that your adversaries and nemeses are totally accurate in their critiques of you. But there may be a thing or two you can learn from them right now that would truly improve your life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Musician John Coltrane described one of his life goals as follows: “There are forces out here that bring suffering to others and misery to the world,” he said. “But I want to be the opposite force. I want to be the force which is truly for good.” Even if that’s not an intention at the core of your long-term plans, Capricorn, I recommend you consider adopting it during the next few weeks. Being a vigorous and rigorous force for good will be especially needed by the people with whom you associate—and will also result in you attracting interesting benefits.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Known as “the bad boy of bridge,” Aquarian-born Geir Helgemo is a champion in the card game of bridge. At times he has been the top-rated player among Open World Grand Masters. But in 2019, he was suspended from the World Bridge Federation for a year because he tested positive for taking testosterone supplements that are banned. Why did he do it? He hasn’t said. There is some scientific research suggesting that testosterone may boost cognitive function, but other evidence says it doesn’t. I’d like to use Helgemo’s foolishness as a teaching story for your use, Aquarius. According to my astrological analysis, you’re approaching the peak of your competence and confidence.

There’s no need for you to cheat or sneak or misbehave in a misplaced effort to seek an even greater advantage. In fact, righteous integrity will enhance your intelligence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I might really have gone round the bend,” confessed Botswana author Bessie Head. “I mean people who get visions and see a gigantic light descend on them from the sky can’t be all there, but if so I feel mighty happy. If one is happy and cracked it’s much better than being unhappy and sane.” Although I don’t expect your state of mind in the coming weeks will be as extreme as Bessie Head’s, Pisces, I do suspect it will have resemblances to her dreamy cheerfulness.

If I had to give a title to this upcoming phase, it might be “Wise Folly.” And yes, I do think your “craziness” will generate useful insights and fertile revelations. ∆
