Editor’s note

S

ince 2013, landowners overlying the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin have abided by an ordinance that essentially banned any new or expanded water pumping. The ordinance, according to SLO County 5th District Supervisor OVERDRAFTED SLO County 5th Debbie Arnold, enabled some District Supervisor property owners to continue Debbie Arnold believes that pumping a lot of water, while the current those who’d scaled back during the groundwater drought are stuck. Now, the Board regulations for the Paso Robles of Supervisors aims to change water basin are those rules. Assistant Editor Peter unfair.

Halcyon Store and Post Office to close on March 15

S

andra Strohman has worked at the Halcyon Store and Post Office off and on since she first moved to the Oceano area more than 30 years ago. The store has served varying purposes since its inception in the early 1900s, at one time operating as a library, gas station, and money order purchasing business all at once. When Strohman started working at the store back in the early ’80s, it was just beginning its transformation from a grocery and variety store to the spiritual gift shop that now sits at 936 S. Halcyon Road.

As a clerk, Strohman said she used to cut hunks of cheese off of full wheels for customers between taking letters and packages for the mail. The store had a big machine people could use to make their own peanut butter; hosted craft fairs; and, of course, sold products like the books, crystals, sage, and incense still in stock today. Strohman’s daughter, Louise Welch, said she always looked forward to visiting her mom and helping out at the quirky shop.

“My first car in high school I came here and got a crystal, and every car since I’ve had a crystal from here in my car,” Welch told New Times. “And it’s just a place I would come visit my mom. I moved away for a little bit, and every time I’d come visit my mom I’d stop here, walk around the store. It’s just calming.”

In 2015, Strohman and Welch took ownership of the business and carried on Halcyon’s hybrid gift shop and post office tradition, adding their own flair through the addition of community workshops, classes, and psychic readings. It’s a unique little store that people of all kinds from all over California visit on their way out to the dunes.

But that legacy is coming to an abrupt end.

On Jan. 19, Welch and Strohman received a letter from their landlord notifying them of the termination of their month-to-month rental agreement. Brief and to the point, the letter included no information as to why the contract was being terminated, simply giving the mother-daughter team 60 days to move out.

So the Halcyon Store and Post Office is closing on March 15, leaving Halcyon without a post office for the first time since 1908.

Welch and Strohman are hoping to continue selling their products online until they find a new location in San Luis Obispo County— after taking a much-needed vacation, that is.

They’re in good shape financially and hopeful about what the future will bring. Although the eviction came as a shock, they’re not worried about themselves or their business.

It’s the loss of tradition that hurts. It’s the thought of tourists who have made annual trips

Biden lifts Trump ban on transgender military service 

The Biden administration’s repeal of the controversial Trump-era ban on transgender individuals serving in the U.S. military on Jan. 25 gives many hope, including Central Coast resident Blaine Walters, who has been trying to

SAYING GOODBYE From left to right: Sandra Strohman and her daughter, Louise Welch, have operated the Halcyon Store and Post Office since 2015. The shop, one of the oldest commercial operations in the area, is closing in March.

to the store and dunes for decades suddenly finding the shop closed. The thought of former residents being unable to show their kids and grandkids where they used to go for rock candy and ice cream as kids themselves.

“It’s been around that long,” Welch said, “and we’re just heartbroken that it—the Halcyon Store—will be no more.”

It’s not clear why the Halcyon Store is closing or what will replace it. The Temple of the People, a nondenominational religious and philosophical organization, owns the property and announced the closure publicly in a vague Facebook post on Jan. 21.

“There are big changes around the world right now and Halcyon is no exception,” the post reads. “Holding on to our hats as the post office is closing our little post office location. Incoming mail for Halcyon residents will be placed in town at a designated spot. The Halcyon Store building will undergo renovation in order to preserve its historical status and character.”

The Temple went on to thank Strohman and Welch for their years operating the post office and shop.

In a statement to New Times, Temple Guardian in Chief Eleanor Shumway remained ambiguous. Although she said Halcyon residents would still be able to pick up their mail at a “shared pickup point,” she didn’t go into any further detail, saying she couldn’t comment on any ongoing negotiations.

“While the post office and store have certainly been of great benefit, we constantly reevaluate how best to serve the community as circumstances change,” Shumway wrote. “The COVID-19 pandemic has shown each and every one of us how adaptable we truly must be.”

Whatever the reason, Arroyo Grande resident Carol Berger is going to miss her favorite gift shop. Berger has lived on the Central Coast for about 30 years, and she said no matter the person, no matter the occasion, she could always find a something for everyone at the Halcyon Store.

“You walk in and you just feel like it’s a hug, you know what I mean?” Berger said. “I can’t think of another store in this whole San Luis Obispo area that has such unique items.” ∆ —Kasey Bubnash

join the military for the past four years.

Walters has a family history of service in the U.S. Armed Forces, including his brothers who currently serve in the military and his step-father who served as a Navy Seal. He appreciated the profession and the act of service, however he said he wasn’t ready to begin the application process to join the U.S. Army until he knew he was his authentic self.

Walters’ gender at birth was female, and as a young adult, he came out to his friends and family as a lesbian.

“I thought, ‘This doesn’t really feel like who I should be.’ And then later on I learned what transgender means and I realized that’s it,” he said.

With the help of Dr. Denise Taylor, who NEWS continued page 6

specializes in family medicine and hormone therapy in the city of San Luis Obispo, Walters began testosterone hormone therapy in 2016.

Once Walters started noticing the changes with his body and himself, he said he felt competent because he knew this was who he should be.

“My tag for everything is self-made man. Because to me, that’s what it is. I’ve picked my name, I’ve made the choices to start testosterone, and maybe in the future I’ll have top surgery,” he said. “So I am self-made and I love it. I absolutely love it.”

Shortly after he started hormone therapy four years ago, Walters said, he was ready to apply with the U.S. Army and went to a recruiting center in Paso Robles. Walters is still in the process of completing that application.

According to the U.S. Department of Defense, it released a new policy in 2019 regarding applicants who identified as transgender or individuals with gender dysphoria—the feeling of discomfort or distress that might occur in people whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth.

The policies didn’t ban transgender individuals from serving altogether as it had prior to 2016. However, an applicant with a history of medical transition treatment was “presumptively disqualified unless stable for 18 months in preferred gender or biological sex.”

A transgender person may serve in the military if he or she does not have a diagnosis or history of gender dysphoria.

Walters had to provide letters from his physician and therapists about his hormone therapy treatment and ensure the letters were written as the recruiting office wanted them. He’s had physical and eye exams, lost necessary weight, and provided the office with all the required paperwork.

Last November, he was asked to take another Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test, as test results expire every two years and he had reached the expiration date. Plus, he needed an updated eye exam. These are the last two components of his application.

Walters said he’s had several issues trying to schedule the new ASVAB test, and the nearest testing site is in San Jose.

“To me, it doesn’t matter what my gender is when at the end of the day we all wear the same uniform and are fighting for the same cause,” Walters said.

The process has been discouraging at times, but Walters said he isn’t one to give up, especially when it involves volunteering to provide a service to his country.

He doesn’t know whether Biden’s military policies will help him specifically, but, either way, he said he’s put so much work into this process already. He’s not giving up anytime soon.

Oceano drainage project a success, help still needed at lagoon

A recently completed drainage project aimed at limiting flooding on Highway 1 in Oceano proved successful during recent rains, but some Oceano residents say there’s still work to be done.

The Oceano Drainage Improvement Project is aimed at minimizing the frequency and severity of flooding on high-traffic roads neighboring the intersection of Highway 1 and 13th Street. It’s been in the works for years, and, according to Capital Projects Manager Genaro Diaz, improvements included the creation of crowns in the center of several roads to convey storm water away from streets and toward Arroyo Grande Creek.

Construction wrapped up in June 2020, but there wasn’t enough rain to truly test the completed project until the last week of January, when several inches of rain hit SLO County over the course of about three days. Although it was complicated in terms of funding and interagency collaboration, Diaz said the Oceano Drainage Improvement Project proved itself to be a worthwhile effort.

“That project—you don’t even know,” Diaz told New Times with a laugh. “If it was a diving competition, that’s like a 9.8 triple flip with no splash.”

While the intersection of Highway 1 and 13th Street would have previously looked like a small pond after after a relatively small amount of rain in a day, the roads were completely clear after 2 inches in 24 hours on Jan. 28.

The impacts were even noticeable a few blocks down Highway 1 at Quintessa Coffee Roasters, where owner Jack Quint said the project led to significantly less water around his building, which has been the victim of severe flooding in the past.

“We still get a slight river in front of our building and a big buildup in front of Chacho’s,” Quint wrote in a message to New Times, “but having 13th and Front drain was a huge help so cars can still drive through. Big improvement!!”

While the drainage project was also supposed to reduce inflow to the Meadow Creek Lagoon, residents living near the lagoon still saw flooding.

Steve Cascarano has lived next to the lagoon on Juanita Avenue for 13 years, and he said his street floods after every shower. Then cars and off-roaders speed through the neighborhood to splash through puddles, pushing damaging levels of water into people’s houses. This most recent storm was no different.

Despite repeated calls to the county, Cascarano said it feels like nothing ever gets done. The county usually just closes the road to through traffic, and people drive past the signs anyway.

“We’re a little forgotten area down here,” he said.

But SLO County Public Works Deputy Director Kate Ballantyne said residents near the Meadow Creek Lagoon haven’t been forgotten. It’s just a complex problem that takes a lot of time and money to fix.

Land surrounding the Meadow Creek Lagoon is on a flood plain, located at the downstream end of a watershed that gets hit with drainage water from parts of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, and Oceano. The lagoon drains into the Arroyo Grande Creek, which drains into the Pacific Ocean. But the lagoon can’t drain when there are high tides in the ocean, if water levels in the Arroyo Grande Creek are too high, or if the Arroyo Grande Creek hasn’t breached a sand bar that separates it and the ocean.

The county is working on improvements to this area. The recently finished project

on Highway 1 and 13th should help some, Ballantyne said, along with an improved drainage channel at the North Beach Campground that was completed a few years ago. More efforts are coming, too.

“We have been studying the Meadow Creek watershed and plan to start work this year to evaluate alternatives for the Meadow Creek Lagoon Restoration Project, Ballantyne wrote in a statement to New Times. “The purpose of this project will be to improve flood protection and habitat within the lagoon system. A contract for this project will be presented to the Board of Supervisors for approval on March 2, 2021.”

Essential farmworkers still lack access to COVID-19 assistance

It’s been nearly 11 months since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, and the virus continues to exacerbate existing vulnerabilities in farmworker communities.

Farmworker advocates say that as the health crisis continues, its impacts have only intensified workplace inequalities and economic burdens, household and community-level stress, and even more disparate access to health care, and a lack of social and economic support.

The California Institute for Rural Studies, six social science researchers, and six farmworker-serving communitybased organizations released the initial findings of a COVID-19 Farmworker Study in July 2020. The team recently released phase two of the study, in which researchers conducted in-depth interviews with 63 farmworkers throughout California, including on the Central Coast, from August to October 2020. Many of the findings parallel the first study.

Farmworkers continue to experience uneven COVID-19 protections and little enforcement of COVID-19 protocols, the study found. Several workers in the San Joaquin Valley reported a lack of personal protective equipment from employers and little to no social distancing enforcement.

According to recent data from the California State Department of Industrial Relations, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued three Salinas-based agricultural operations, with citations for not enforcing social distancing, not placing barriers between workers at harvesting stations, and not requiring employees to wear face coverings at the worksite. The behavior observed by OSHA compliance officers occured from September to December 2020.

The July report also found that agricultural labor demand in California had declined by 39 percent from the three-year average, and 52 percent of phase one survey respondents reported lost work due to the coronavirus.

“Reported reasons for lost work time included both employer-based decisions, such as decreased market demand, and worker concerns of lack of child care or fear of contracting the virus,” the study said.

Others experienced sporadic work schedules because employers attempting to reduce the spread of the virus cut back on the number of employees they would allow to work in the same place at the same time.

About 70 percent of workers surveyed during phase one of the study reported more difficulty paying for food than in pre-pandemic times, 63 percent had difficulty paying rent, 60 percent struggled with child care, and 51 percent had trouble purchasing water. The study found that these families often supplemented their income by providing child care for other farmworkers, housekeeping services, or working as vendors at local swap meets.

During phase two of the study, a 38-year-old farmworker from the Central Coast told researchers that his family’s income had changed because his wife was no longer providing child care for others.

“Now all the children that stayed home that aren’t going to school, they’re taking care of themselves. My wife isn’t taking care of the kids, and with this, she’s not making an income for our household,” he said.

While farmworkers with citizenship status were eligible to receive stimulus checks and unemployment benefits, many undocumented families or families of mixed status weren’t able to receive that same support. Those who tried to utilize state and county-established hotlines that provided guidance on obtaining federal assistance, told researchers that those avenues were frustrating to navigate.

A 46-year-old farmworker from the Central Coast region said he didn’t get any help.

“Sometimes they give a number, and one calls, but no one answers, or they just tell you that they’ll call you back, and up to now, no one has called us,” he said.

During a Feb. 2 virtual press conference, California Insitute for Rural Studies Executive Director Ildi Carlisle-Cummins said that the entire team behind the study is refining policy recommendations that would reduce barriers and increase access to assistance for farmworkers in the state, expand health care access, increase protections for those who have COVID19-related complaints, and address language barriers—all regardless of documentation status.

The team recommends a portion of the state budget surplus of $15 billion be invested to ensure farmworkers receive what they need to stay healthy at work and at home.

Carbajal bills fight oil and gas drilling

Two bills recently introduced by U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) would restrict oil and gas developments on the Central Coast if passed, which the congressman believes will pave the way for a local renewable energy economy.

The California Land Protection Act, introduced by Carbajal alongside Central Coast colleagues on Jan. 25, would block new fracking, or oil and gas drilling, on California federal lands. Rep. Julia Brownley (D-Ventura) and Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-Monterey) are original cosponsors of the bill.

“Specifically here on the Central Coast, it would prohibit the Bureau of Land Management to pursue oil and gas leasing as they have done before, or tried to do before,” Carbajal told New Times.

NEWS continued page 7

News NEWS from page 6

While President Joe Biden signed executive orders on Jan. 27 that temporarily halt drilling on federal lands—a reversal of Trump administration policies—Carbajal emphasized the importance of making these actions permanent. The bill would also require the Bureau of Land Management to submit a comprehensive environmental review if they were to try and drill on public lands.

A second piece of legislation, the California Clean Coast Act, was the first bill Carbajal ever introduced as a member of Congress, and on Jan. 28 he announced its formal reintroduction. It would “preclude oil and gas development off our California Coast specifically,” Carbajal said.

In addition to blocking fracking on federal lands, Biden’s executive orders temporarily halted oil and gas drilling on offshore waters, but Carbajal’s bill would “ban it outright, permanently.”

“They could easily pursue selling leases off our coast, and the Biden administration put a moratorium on that for the time being, but that’s all it is: it’s temporary,” Carbajal said. “My legislation would be permanent.”

The reintroduction of the California Clean Coast Act coincides with the 52nd anniversary of the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill, Carbajal said, a sobering reminder of the state’s most devastating oil disaster.

“If history proves us right, we know that the oil industry is a perilous industry,” Carbajal said. “We’ve seen a number of oil spills, the most recent one was the Refugio oil spill. … And certainly the ’69 oil spill, all of these spills, remind us of the perilous nature of the oil industry.”

Carbajal would like to see a “paradigm shift” that incentivizes and rewards renewable energy rather than fossil fuels.

“We need to create green jobs that people who are currently in the oil industry could transition to,” Carbajal said. “When you consider the closing of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, that’s going to put out 1,500 people. We need to provide jobs for those in that industry as well so that we could continue to provide employment opportunities to everyone.”

Carbajal’s bill received a strong coalition of support from local environmental groups, who say another Central Coast oil spill is “not a question of if—but when.”

“From the 1969 blowout at Platform A, to the 2015 pipeline spill along the Gaviota Coast, the Central Coast has suffered the devastating effects of offshore oil development on our communities and those who live, recreate, and work here,” said Linda Krop, chief counsel of the Environmental Defense Center, in a statement from Carbajal’s office. “The California Clean Coast Act will preserve our precious coast from the threats of future oil spills and climate change.” ∆ —Malea Martin

Pumping pivot Ready to scrap Paso Robles’ groundwater moratorium, SLO County supervisors pursue a new approach

W

hen given a chance, San Luis Obispo County 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold is eager to talk about the flaws she sees in the county ordinance governing water use in the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin.

Arnold finds it inherently unfair. In 2013, amid drought and dried-up wells, the Board of Supervisors essentially banned any new or expanded groundwater use over the aquifer that could not be offset by a reduction in pumping.

Striving for water neutrality, the county hoped the policy could help stabilize an overpumped basin that supports 40 percent of SLO County’s agricultural economy and thousands of rural residents.

But more than seven years later, Arnold laments how the ordinance created winners and losers. Those agriculturalists who’d been pumping the most water in 2013 were allowed to continue that use at that level.

But those who’d scaled back due to the drought, or would like to start a modest farm right now, are often out of luck.

“Some property owners have unrestricted use of water. Others have nothing,” Arnold said at a Jan. 26 board meeting. “I’d like to see a new ordinance.”

Arnold’s complaints have finally sparked a major shift in Paso water policy at the county. And not all stakeholders are happy about it.

The Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 on Jan. 26 to direct county staff to develop a new ordinance to replace the current one.

The most significant potential change: a

five-fold increase in the minimum amount of groundwater that basin property owners may use without restrictions—from 5 acrefeet per year (AFY) up to 25 AFY. To Arnold and others, the higher allowance would help remedy the injustices placed on smaller farmers with the 2013 ordinance, giving them more freedom and flexibility with their land. But to other basin stakeholders, the change would all but guarantee an increase in overall groundwater pumping from the basin, exacerbating its decline. According to the Paso basin sustainability plan, the aquifer is currently 13,700 AFY in overdraft.

“Depending on how many people avail themselves of that exception, that potentially creates more water use, which creates a bigger problem,” said Matt Turrentine, manager of investment vineyards near Shandon and a board member on the Paso Basin Cooperative Committee. “Twenty-five AF is approximately a 17-acre vineyard. It’s not landscaping, but it’s not gigantic. There are lots of wineries that have vineyards that size or smaller.”

North County water officials on the cooperative committee—including Turrentine, who represents the ShandonSan Juan Water District, as well as Arnold, John Hamon of the Paso Robles City Council, and Kelly Dodds of the San Miguel Community Services District— are mandated under state law to bring the basin back into sustainability by 2040. A sustainability plan is still under

‘If it were not for increased pumping by these [large agricultural] entities over the past 10 years, the basin would not be in the level of crisis that it is. Fair and equitable management practices should allow farmers who historically irrigated to continue.’

—Don Wilson, Creston rancher

President’s

JUST OR UNJUST? The Board of Supervisors wants a new Paso Robles groundwater policy, which would affect pumping for 40 percent of the county’s ag economy.

review by the California Department of Water Resources.

On Jan. 27, the committee discussed the county’s new direction, with Arnold explaining how she could no longer accept the shutting out of so many property owners under the current ordinance.

Some locals, like Creston rancher Don Wilson, agreed.

“If it were not for increased pumping by these [large agricultural] entities over the past 10 years, the basin would not be in the level of crisis that it is,” Wilson said in comments to the Board of Supervisors on Jan. 26. “Fair and equitable management practices should allow farmers who historically irrigated to continue.”

But the local agricultural groups—from the water districts, to the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance, to the SLO County Farm Bureau—favor simply extending the existing water neutrality rules.

“This keeps the current system in place, which is familiar to both county staff and farmers, continues to offer water savings via fallowing and offsets, and, hopefully, would see us through to the implementation of the groundwater sustainability plan,” read a Jan. 22 letter from the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance.

What the county will ultimately adopt, though, remains uncertain. Under the new directive, county staff must now

prepare an environmental impact report (EIR) for the new ordinance and bring it back to the board before the current one expires on Jan. 1, 2022.

Officials do not want to see any lapse in regulation.

“It needs to go fast,” Arnold said. “It’s a pretty aggressive timeline, but we’re going to try to make it by the end of the year.”

The EIR, estimated to cost $650,000, isn’t just a formality, officials said. In addition to allowing 25 AFY of exempted water use, the new ordinance would also offer a six-year “lookback” for landowners who historically farmed but stopped, and give hopeful agriculturalists an opportunity to apply for land-use permits to plant new farms.

Dissenting Supervisors Bruce Gibson and Dawn Ortiz-Legg, of the 2nd and 3rd Districts respectively, criticized the new ordinance as a poor use of county resources with potentially dangerous impacts to basin sustainability.

But Arnold—joined by 1st District Supervisor John Peschong and 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton—said it’s the only fair path forward.

“Thousands of property owners were just cut completely off—that was just wrong,” Arnold said. ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Market shares

DIFFERENT PLAYING FIELD Although the Downtown SLO Farmers’ Market has been on hold for nearly 10 months, smaller day markets, such as the Monday afternoon market in Los Osos (pictured), continue to operate with safety precautions in place.

SLO’s iconic Thursday night farmers’ market won’t be back anytime soon, but others in the county are still up and running

E

very week F. McLintocks would spend roughly two days and use three full-time employees to prepare for San Luis Obispo’s Thursday night farmers’ market. The local saloon is famous for its showy barbecue booth, and at every Thursday market it serves up hot, juicy food to between 1,100 and 2,000 guests in just a few hours, work that requires around 12 employees and yields sales that equate to a typical full day of work.

Those sales added up to more than just profits for F. McLintocks, its employees, and its meat and produce providers, according to owner Toney Breault. So when the Downtown SLO Farmers’ Market closed indefinitely in March 2020, another unfortunate result of the COVID-19 pandemic, almost everyone in SLO felt the loss.

“The biggest impact is to the community,” Breault told New Times, “and that trickles down.”

The Downtown SLO Farmers’ Market has been a San Luis Obispo staple since it first started in 1983. Breault said his father helped found the market as part of an effort to keep downtown businesses open past 5 p.m. once a week. The Thursday evening shopping and dining led to increased foot and car traffic, resulting in the city’s decision to close some downtown roads on Thursdays, which made room for a market.

Before the Thursday night market’s closure, anywhere between 5,000 and 14,000 Central Coast residents and tourists would head to Higuera Street every week, where the five blocks between Osos and Nipomo streets were usually bustling with scores of vendors serving up steaming hot barbecue, fresh-picked produce, and everything in between.

Most farmers’ markets offer services similar to that of grocery stores and are allowed to operate amid the pandemic as essential businesses. But night markets like downtown SLO’s—which often include live entertainment, hot food, and informational booths—are categorized as special events or street fairs.

So while it’s business as usual for the many daytime farmers’ markets throughout SLO County, it’s been

around 10 months since SLO saw its last Thursday night market on March 6, 2020.

When the Downtown SLO Association first decided to cancel the March 12 market, CEO Bettina Swigger said she assumed it would be operational again by April.

“We can all kind of chuckle about that now,” Swigger said with a laugh. “The naivete of the early pandemic.”

When April didn’t pan out, Swigger said she still had hope for the next month, and then the next. Her team developed a handful of phased reopening plans for the market in 2020, none of which came to fruition.

Swigger is more cautious now, and more blunt. She doesn’t know when the Thursday night market will be up and running again, but it won’t be until at least spring of 2021. The cold weather, short days, and lack of produce at local farms in winter always result in lower attendance at the market, and Swigger said she wants to come back with a bang.

“We’re hoping we can get to a point where there is less risk of disease transmission,” she said, “and there’s better weather and there’s more produce availability.”

But the extensive closure hasn’t been without repercussions, even for the Downtown SLO Association itself.

The Thursday night market’s impacts on the community are multifaceted. It drives heavy foot traffic downtown, leading to profits for both market vendors and nearby brick-and-mortar stores. Downtown SLO charges vendors anywhere between $40 and $300 to rent booths, and the association uses that revenue to operate the market and sustain its overall mission of providing support services to businesses downtown.

Without the Thursday farmers’ market, Swigger said the Downtown SLO Association is about $200,000 short on funds. COVID-19 also took out the association’s other cash generators—event sponsorships and Concerts in the Park— which resulted in the dismissal of about half of the association’s employees.

In the meantime, Swigger said she’s looking forward to redesigning the market with the new outdoor dining parklets in mind. It’s exciting to think about how

those seating areas could be included in the overall experience of SLO’s favorite weeknight event, she said, and she can’t wait to get the market moving again.

“It’s part of our identity as a community,” Swigger said. “So when we do bring the market back, we want to do it right to honor that legacy.”

Produce vendors, who typically sell at multiple markets a week, have made it through the ongoing closure of the Thursday market relatively unscathed.

The SLO County Farmers’ Market Association operates four weekly markets— not including the produce side of the Thursday night market—in Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo, and Morro Bay, and several others can be found across the county.

Those markets are all still operational, according to Farmers’ Market Association Executive Director Peter Jankay, but with a few tweaks in place for safety. Masks are required, physical distancing is enforced, and Jankay said tastings and lingering are prohibited. So are informational magazines and brochures that customers might touch and then return to a booth.

So far, sales at the day markets are on par with pre-coronavirus times. According to a sales report provided to New Times, the Farmers’ Market Association’s four markets actually brought in slightly more revenue in the third quarter (July, August, and September) of 2020 compared to the same time in 2019. The Saturday market in Arroyo Grande saw a particularly large boost, jumping by more than 50 percent in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same time the year before.

Vendors are, of course, missing out on the profits that would normally be made at the Downtown SLO Farmers’ Market.

But while that event brings in big crowds, Jankay said that doesn’t necessarily

translate into big money. SLO’s Saturday morning market has regularly generated roughly twice the revenue produced by the Thursday night market for years, Jankay said. While the Saturday morning market brought in $371,359 in the third quarter of 2019, according to the sales report, the Thursday market generated $154,662.

The Downtown SLO Farmers’ Market offers an entertaining experience, but the Saturday market offers something closer to grocery shopping.

“There’re a lot of people who come in because they want the fresh fruit and vegetables,” Jankay said, “and where they get them is the farmers’ market.”

SLO County farmer Jeff Nielsen said that although he hasn’t noticed any major shifts in sales, he has seen some changes among his usual customer base. Nielsen manages and sells at a number of the county’s farmers’ markets, including in Cambria, Morro Bay, and at Farm Supply in San Luis Obispo, and he said it’s been an “interesting” year attempting to enforce safety regulations and to please customers and vendors on both sides of the aisle.

He’s lost loyal customers of decades who say they don’t feel safe shopping at the markets, and he’s dealt with others who refuse to wear masks and follow other required safety measures. At the same time, Nielsen said he’s also gained some customers, those who want a safer alternative to shopping in grocery stores, or those who used to attend the Thursday night market in SLO before it closed.

Nielsen said he’s looking forward to a time when things are normal again, but in the meantime, “the food continues to grow and people need to eat.” ∆ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@newtimesslo.com.

rom the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, John Headding, mayor of Morro Bay, found ways to give back to his community as an elected official and as a resident of the county.

When the San Luis Obispo County Health Department began gearing up for a potential surge in positive COVID-19 cases last March, it ordered additional respirators, hospital beds, and coordinated with Cal Poly to create an alternative care site.

To equip the facility with enough medical staff, the emergency planners called for health care providers to sign up for the Medical Reserve Corps—and Headding did just that.

Lexipol protects Port San Luis Harbor Patrol’s policies keep the public and law enforcement officers safe

T

he policies and regulations Port San Luis Harbor Patrol officers adhere to are updated constantly as federal, state, and local laws change for the protection of officers and the public.

These policies do assist in protecting the officers from liability as well as the port, but, in addition, protect the public from overzealous officers. Port San Luis wants their officers to adhere to the laws.

Adhering to the laws and good policies in and of itself protects the community.

The Harbor Commission recognizes that a one-size-fits-all does need tweaking to align with the mission of the Harbor Patrol and is doing that, so it reflects on those duties Harbor Patrol does on a daily basis. It should be noted here, Lexipol is not a requirement. It is an informational tool used by numerous law enforcement agencies throughout California. Take note: Port San Luis Harbor Patrol is a law enforcement agency, as are state park rangers, California Fish and Game wardens, Forest Service rangers, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife agents. To say they are “cops” is not true. They are enforcement personnel with their respective agencies.

They enforce the regulations pertaining to their agency, but, in addition, enforce state and federal laws on an as-needed basis.

Does one think visitors to Port San Luis or a state park or national park only break those respective regulations?

If that is your thought, then Harbor Patrol should ignore thefts, fights among

HODIN

visitors, and gun violence. You would want them to call someone else while you or your property is being violated. Just stand by and watch until a “cop” arrives?

I would hope not.

Unfortunately, some visitors do bring their aggressive and bad behavior to recreational areas. Port San Luis is no exception. Harbor patrol officers are similar to park rangers. Are there shootings in state parks? Yes. Thefts?

Yes. Domestic fights? Yes, as well as other state and federal law violations. State park rangers are peace officers who have enforcement training and carry protective equipment to protect the public as well as themselves, as do game wardens and harbor patrol officers.

Should we be apprehending juveniles? I would say it depends on crime. There are definitely circumstances where a juvenile should be apprehended. I know the public can think of several without me giving any. Vehicle pursuits? There again, I believe the public could give examples as to when a pursuit should start or end. In both cases, policy should be followed for the safety of harbor patrol officers and the public. A new policy for chaplains, I see only good out of that.

I am very optimistic about new and re-worded Port San Luis Harbor Patrol enforcement policies that truly serve the public and port’s best interest for now and in the future. Port San Luis has a

dedicated, very professional, and highly trained Harbor Patrol.

I feel qualified to express this opinion, having been a State Parks ranger at Pismo State Beach and a Fish and Game warden for 28 years on the Central Coast.

I am currently a harbor commissioner and have been a Port San Luis Harbor commissioner for several terms. I am on the public safety committee.

This opinion is my own opinion. I am not representing the Port San Luis Harbor Commission. ∆ Drew Brandy is a Port San Luis Harbor commissioner. Send a response for publication to letters@newtimesslo.com.

Letters I want my flag back, too I agree entirely with the outstanding opinion piece written by Diane W. Mayfield regarding the appropriation by the right of our national flag. (“I am a patriot,” Jan. 28.) For me, exhibitionist display of the flag became a symbol of political opinion that I did not share during the Vietnam War. We were told that we should “support our country, right or wrong” and that we should leave if we did not support the pursuit of an imperialistic war essentially begun by Democrats John F. Kennedy and LBJ and then fanatically pursued

by Republican Richard Nixon. In fact, I did leave the country to do research on my doctoral dissertation in Austria.

We were literally on the boat during the Chicago riots surrounding the Democratic National Convention of 1968, and our disillusionment fed a semi-serious contemplation of not returning. Despite being very comfortable with the language and culture of our host country, my wife and I came to realize that despite our revulsion with our country’s foreign policy, we were in fact Americans who loved our country. We did not then, nor do we now, voice the frequently expressed platitude that the U.S. is the “best country in the world.” Rather, as Americans, we treasure it as the best country for us.

Ms. Mayfield recalls that a former German exchange student commented to her that a pledge to the flag like one required in U.S. schools would be regarded as a “second coming of Hitler” if conducted Germany. A German friend of mine, a school principal and history professor, reacted similarly when he visited us here. Noting the ubiquitous display of the flag, he said he was chillingly reminded of his youth in Nazioccupied Czechoslovakia.

Recently, I was likewise chilled when I saw a young man walking on Pismo Beach carrying a large American flag. It was the week after the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Now, this young man may not have had the intent of saluting the sedition of those thousands of flag-wavers.

I suspect however that he did, because of what Ms. Mayfield accurately describes as the flag being “the exclusive symbol of the far right.”

I, too, want my flag back as a symbol of the entire country.

o: Kay C. James, president, The Heritage Foundation Dear Ms. James, Thank you for offering me a “Don’t Tread on Me” Gadsden Flag in exchange for a donation of $35 or more to the Heritage Foundation.

Your offer made me recall the Supreme Court case Minnesota Voters Alliance v.

Mansky, which came about when a Mr. Mansky wore a “Please I.D. Me” button and a “Don’t Tread on Me” Gadsden Flag T-shirt to his Minnesota polling place.

In 2018, the court declared on a 7-2 vote that it was unconstitutional to prohibit that kind of political speech at a polling place. When MVA v. Mansky was before the court, the Heritage Foundation jumped in to declare that it was all well and good for states to have “reasonable measures intended to safeguard the integrity of elections, allow voters to cast their ballots without being intimidated or pressured to support a particular side, and ensure peace and order at polling places,” but neither you nor the court majority could fathom how the battle cry of voter suppression and the adopted emblem of the Tea Party could make voters feel “intimidated or pressured.” Heritage

Are you retroactively revoking your 2018 argument to the Supreme Court? argued that “neither his button nor his T-shirt bore any relation to a candidate or issue on the ballot that year. And the Gadsden Flag is a historically significant symbol of the American Revolution that was first used by the fledgling American Navy and the Continental Marines.”

But now, per your letter to me, the Heritage Foundation is selling the Gadsden Flag to those who want to “advance conservative policies” and oppose “the leftist agenda of tax hikes, open borders, and political correctness;” also “socialized health care,” “leftist judges,” and “unchecked spending.” In short, the usual rote incantations, with no apparent updates since, say, 1982 (the word “pandemic” does not appear), now tied to acquiring a Gadsden Flag, which is about “rejecting the leftist’s ruinous policy platform.” And you tell me I must act now, because “with a renewed sense of determination sweeping the land after 2020’s political battles, demand for this flag has intensified” (emphasis yours in the letter), and its message is one “taxpayers must send in 2021, with leftists claiming a mandate for Big Government and seeking to undermine liberty and prosperity.” And this is part of “Washington’s freedom-killing cronyism and corruption.” (In view of the Heritage Foundation’s role as the Trump administration’s virtual HR department, I’d be interested to know your timeline on that last one.)

Do you think the fledgling American Navy and the Continental Marines would be surprised to hear about all the things their flag now represents? And can you think of a ballot where none of

those things would pertain and to which this heavily freighted flag would “bear 2 no relation,” whether in the context of a specific ballot measure or the political 9 philosophies of opposing candidates? 16 Are you retroactively revoking your 2018 2330 argument to the Supreme Court?

I suppose it’s a moot point. The Jan. 6 S insurrection in Washington took place a week before your offer arrived in my mailbox. The seditionists who flew the 4 Gadsden Flag as they breached the 11 Capitol and attempted to overthrow our 18 democracy have forever branded that flag with that event. Per MSNBC News, they 25 also took along “a crossbow, 11 Molotov cocktails … brass knuckles and pocket S knives, stun guns and ‘stinger whips’ … an assault-style Tavor X95 rifle with a 5 telescopic sight, a Glock 9 mm with highcapacity magazines and more than 2,500 12 rounds of ammunition, including at least 19 320 rounds of ‘armor-piercing bullets,’ according to federal prosecutors.”

26 It was nice to see that on Jan. 7, you blogged, “Violence should not be used as Sa tool to bring about change, and those who stormed the Capitol on Wednesday should 7 be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the 14 law.” You affirmed that “as this horrible act is investigated, it will be determined 21 exactly who they were, and they must be 28 held accountable.”

As Charles Pierce observed in Esquire, “I believe that a lot of these people did arm themselves for self-defense, except that they were ‘defending’ themselves against the Washington in their heads, the one that had been carefully constructed there by their favorite radio and TV stars, and by a lot of the politicians inside the Capitol.”

Ms. James, if you’d like to take a break from constructing the Washington in their heads and stand up for accountability and your vision of America as “a nation where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish,” I invite you to join with me and the Sierra Club in urging the impeachment of the man who encouraged the deadly attack on our country that had the sole purpose of overturning the results of a fair election. Text CONVICT to 69866 to be connected to one or both of your senators.

Tell them to convict Trump and then vote to disqualify him from ever holding office again.

Then you might want to rethink your marketing plan. ∆

Opinion

The Shredder

Freedom lovers

D

on’t you just love America?

Land of the free where you can say and do almost anything that you want to and other people can, too. Land of the free, who more often than not vote with their wallets in this free(ish) market economy of ours.

Well, Stacy Korsgaden—who unsuccessfully ran for office against late San Luis Obispo County 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill and is thinking about running again in the future—loves America. And she isn’t afraid to practice that freedom of speech We the People hold so dear! And she did just that, according to a Jan. 27 story in The Tribune, by attending the Save America rally in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6!

Is she crazy? No! She’s just a selfdescribed “moderate,” who believes that she should be able to question the integrity of the 2020 presidential election without being canceled.

“I am moderate. What is not moderate about discussing election integrity?” she told The Trib. “The main thing to me, and why I went, as an individual it’s not important to me who holds the office in that decision. We need to make sure there’s transparency and election integrity, and it’s the same whether we’re talking about Democrats or Republicans.”

Is it about transparency and election

integrity? Or is it about believing what you want to believe regardless of the facts? Because I call the latter.

First of all, moderates didn’t spend their hard-earned dollars to fly across the United States so they could listen to a baby-man continue his false narrative about not losing an election that he actually lost! Second of all, I doubt you would do the same thing if President Joe Biden made all of the same accusations in 2024.

“There were people (in D.C.) that were unhappy with the integrity of the election, but ultimately who’s the judge and jury?” she asked The Trib.

Umm, hey Stacy? Are you “people”?

There were actual judges who weighed in on the election integrity questions— including those who your supreme leader appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States. Did you miss those headlines?

OK. Maybe she is a little crazy. Or she just pulled off an ingenious political stunt that will win her right-wing crazies in the next election she decides to poke her foot into. But that stunt could also cost her those moderates she claims to be one of.

Can’t we all just love one another?

She lamented in an op-ed she floated around in response to The Trib’s article.

Well, we all know the answer to that is deep-bellied laughter. No, we obviously

can’t, Stacy! Have you seen us? We’re ’Merican! We have a right to hate, and we have a right to do it openly. We love to hate, baby!

It’s kind of our thing.

“The fallout from my private decision to attend the rally was still absolutely unexpected,” she wrote in her op-ed.

Clients canceled their insurance policies. Relationships she’d had for decades just ended. It sucks, for sure. She compared the experience with coming out to her mother. But being a lesbian isn’t a choice, Stacy. Falling in love with another human being really isn’t a choice, either. Flying to D.C. to attend a rally is a deliberate choice that you had to know would eventually become public knowledge.

Oh, and, even though she said she’s planning to run for office again, she also believes that she shouldn’t be considered a public figure. Well, I hate to be the bearer of great truths, but the fact that a past candidate and future hopeful thought enough of election “integrity” allegations to actually attend the Save America rally that ended with rally attendees storming the U.S. Capitol is absolutely news.

The issue isn’t necessarily about love at all, Stacy. It’s about reality.

Suppo ing local journalism, one ticket at a time.

But don’t listen to the media. It’s media’s fault that people canceled their insurance policies! It’s media dividing us!

Thanks, media! For ruining America!

“If we are government of the People, by the People, is it not important to make our concerns known? ... Even if certain media tells us differently?” she asks in her op-ed.

Did that article tell you that you weren’t allowed your free speech? Because maybe we looked at the same story and came away with different facts.

Listen, I’m the first to say that you had every right in the world to take a couple of days off work and spend your hardearned Farmers Insurance money on a plane ticket to fly from the Left Coast to Washington, D.C., purchase food and lodging, and listen to then President non-elect Donald Trump mumble like the incoherent nincompoop that he is.

We the People also have a right to choose where we spend our money and who to do business with. We vote with our wallets. Isn’t that the free market’s way of righting itself? Isn’t that one of your campaign slogans? Less regulations on small businesses! Let the free market be free! As I’ve said so many times before in this column, free speech works both ways.

You get to speak out. Be free. Claim a side. And people get to respond.

It’s, like, our process. ∆ The Shredder is a broken record about free speech. Send comments to shredder@ newtimesslo.com.

Domestic Tiger returns as a trio

W

hen Domestic Tiger won best rock/alternative song in the 2019 NTMAs for “Salt,” it was an easy choice. The alt-rock act had all the earmarks of a ripping good band: tight musicianship, crafty songwriting, great vocals, and huge energy. I expected to see a lot more of them, but then the ’rona came to town and all things live music fell to pieces.

To top it off, amid the pandemic lockdown, the former quintet shrunk when drummer Tom Johnson left for the Montana mountains while bassist Javier Cadena turned his attention to a new business venture. It’s hard to be a rock band with no rhythm section.

The remaining three members—Evan Ball (producer/vocalist/guitarist), Tyson Maulhardt (guitar), and Mike Hicks (vocals, guitar)—were all locked up with nowhere to go, no shows to play, and for the final nail in the coffin, they were evicted from their rehearsal space. Well, you can’t keep a good band down, and necessity breeds innovation.

The remaining trio began exchanging music files via Apple’s Logic Pro “in hopes of resuscitating the band,” they said via email.

“I had this riff that I couldn’t get out of my head,” Maulhardt said. “It was two parts and recorded on my phone, but I knew it had potential. Evan and Mike made it sound good from there.”

Soon the ideas were pouring out, inspired by the weirdness that was 2020.

“I spent so many evenings going for runs through a deserted downtown just to look at it,” Hicks recalled. “It was awesome. So sad, but I couldn’t look away.

Like that weird movie that stays with you the next day.”

Without a rhythm section, Domestic Tiger had to pivot further, in a direction a lot of rock bands are loath to go: electronic beats and synthesizer.

“It was definitely a liberating process creatively,” Ball said. “It was refreshing to not be required to use standard instruments.”

The results of their collaboration and new A TIGER CAN CHANGE ITS STRIPES Domestic Tiger went direction can be from a pre-pandemic five-piece to a post-pandemic trio, releasing heard on Night Night Brain, an innovative new five-song EP. Brain, which was released NEW TIMES FILE PHOTO to streaming platforms on Jan. 22.

“There were so many positive takeaways from last year,” Hicks added. “We’ve all been given a special opportunity to reset and focus on what we want to, not what we have to.”

It’s very fresh and fun approach, which you can hear from the first track, “Here Now,” that kicks off with a very atmospheric wall of synth before flowing into a guitar-driven rock track. There are also a lot of vocal effects that give added oomph to the song’s key idea: “Here now.

Don’t forget to breathe.”

“Bored” begins with a really interesting syncopated rhythm, and its anthem-like chorus about pandemic fatigue will have you hooked: “Can’t keep the room from spinning. One day it all just stops. Look like an elevator, getting closer to the top oh yeah so what? You want a life of meaning, freeze all that minor chord.

Soon we’ll take back our lost time. What a day we’ll miss when we were bored.”

All five of the EP’s songs are altFOREVER AND ALWAYS North County rock gems with the sort of innovative singer-songwriter John Wessel delivers a new full-length album, with some tracks production and sound effects that will keep co-written by Jimi Macon of the Gap you coming back for another listen. Check Band, available on Rhombus Records. it out on your favorite streaming platform!

Mr. Dependable I can pretty much depend on North County musician John Wessel to release a new album every year. Even when there’s not a pandemic and he’s playing shows three or four nights a week, he still manages to put one out. This year he’s released Forever and Always, which features a dozen tracks, some co-written

by James “Jimi” Macon of The Gap Band, who also plays on the new record.

“I’m already writing half the album for 2022,” Wessel wrote via email. “But I’m having a lot of fun working on a solo show that I plan on doing. I thought I never would do a solo show but after playing by myself so much lately—I did all my own backing tracks played all the instruments—I can just play piano and sing and play flute and saxophone over my tracks. I think that the bar scene and our restaurants will be looking to spend less money, so just in case, as a solo act I can work reasonably cheap.”

Wessel, a multi-instrumental and wicked good reed player, may be best known as a member of Shameless, one of the hardest working bar bands in the county. So much has changed due to the pandemic that he’s wisely adapting. Music is in his blood, and I know he’ll never stop playing.

On this new album, there are a lot of great tracks, but “Finding Peace” cowritten with Macon really stands out to me. The instrumental has amazing musicianship. Likewise, Wessel’s flute and reedy tenor voice soar on Gary Moore’s “Still Got the Blues,” one of two cover songs on the album. The other is Procol Harum’s classic “Whiter Shade of Pale,” which is also right in Wessel’s wheelhouse.

Wessel’s originals come from the sounds he loves, music of the ’60s and ’70s, and are well crafted. You can hear this and more of Wessel’s music at n1m.com/johnwessel.

Cal Poly Music Department hosts webinar, Entrepreneurship in Music

Guest panelists and musicians David Cutler and Mark Tonelli will lead a free, virtual workshop, Entrepreneurship in Music, presented by the Cal Poly Music Department, on Thursday, Feb. 11, at 11 a.m. Cutler is currently the director of music entrepreneurship at the University of South Carolina, while Tonelli is an assistant professor of guitar and entrepreneurship at Millikin University in Illinois. The panel will be moderated by Arthur White, Cal Poly’s director of jazz studies “The intent of the webinar is to inform and empower college-age musicians to think entrepreneurially about their career in music,” White said in press materials from Cal Poly.

“Due to the decline in traditional career opportunities, students need to adapt with foresight, diversity, and a well-laid-out plan of attack.”

Prior to his appointment as a music entrepreneurship director, Cutler worked in various capacities as a composer and collaborative musician, working with singer Nancy Wilson, trumpeter Sean Jones, clarinetist David Krakauer, saxophonist Benny Golson, and other acts throughout his career. In 2009, Cutler authored the book, The Savvy Musician: Building a Career, Earning a Living, and Making a Difference.

Tonelli worked as a guitarist and featured soloist for the Army West Point Jazz Knights for 10 years before teaching at Millikin University. He recently co-authored the new book, Entrepreneurship in Action: The Power of Student-Run Ventures, based on his experience supervising the Millikin Arts Cafe; the book was released on Jan. 29.

Call (805) 756-2406 or email music@calpoly.edu for more info on the upcoming panel discussion, which will be free and open to the public. The webinar will be available on music.calpoly.edu.

Fundraiser

BY GLEN STARKEY

Date night with Sweet Art PHOTOS COURTESY OF STUDIOS ON THE PARK

Studios on the Park pivots its annual fundraiser

U

sually about this time of the year, Studios on the Park would be hosting its Sweet Art luncheon fundraiser.

“Sweet Art is our largest fundraiser every year,” Sarah Ambrose, executive director of the Paso Robles nonprofit explained via email. “We usually have an honoree who is of importance to Studios on the Park and the community. All those who attend make donations in honor of them. However, this year, we are making all our donors the honorees. We would not be able to have our doors open today if it were not for the support that our donors and community give us.

“Unfortunately, I don’t think we will raise the $82,000 we raised last year, so we will have to get creative and raise money a different way later in the year,” Ambrose continued.

“However, I think this alternative will be something fun for them but they will also be giving back to Studios.”

“This alternative” is a hand-decorated art bag filled with all the goodies you’ll need to have a special night in with your significant other. You’ll find a welcome cocktail recipe from Il Cortile with a 2 ounce bottle of vodka from Re:Find to go along with it, a watercolor paint set, a coloring book created by Studios artists, Chocolove chocolates, two bottles of wine and two wine glasses, a free tasting coupon from local wineries, and a raffle ticket—prizes are either a one-night stay at The Lofts at Paso Marketwalk, including wine and dessert from Just Baked, or a zip-line experience for six at Margarita Adventures.

The bags must be preordered and cost $100, with noon to 4 p.m. pickup available Feb. 8 through 13. You can buy extra raffle tickets for $10 each or three for $20.

“We’re hoping that donors would be willing to donate extra in order to continue our Kids Art Smart program as well as being able to show off high quality artwork for free to our community and visitors,” Ambrose said. “For an idea of costs, it usually costs us $150 for materials for one Kids Art Smart (KAS) class (which has gone digital during COVID) and $500 to keep the Kids Art Smart studios available and stocked with art materials for all the kids that come through our doors each month. These funds also help pay for teachers for the KAS program as well as a digital show of the completed works!”

Ambrose noted the importance of this virtual youth program for all the kids who have been stuck at home during the pandemic.

“We felt that it was still such a necessity, especially during the time that students are home, for them to have a creative outlet,” Ambrose said. “Our Kids Art Smart coordinator, Michelle Rollins, reached out to teachers, gave them boxed materials for all their students, and has been teaching them via Google Classroom. She is still able to give them a tour of Studios on the Park; however, the classes are much shorter, and the students have more room for creativity as they finish their artwork on their own.

“After the class has taken place, the students are asked to give their projects to the teachers, who in turn give them to Michelle. We hang

IN PRODUCTION Tables of hand-decorated art bags—created with spray paint and stencils—dry outside Studios on the Park, which will sell the bags full of wine and art goodies as an alternative to its annual Sweet Art in-person luncheon fundraiser.

THE FINAL PRODUCT Each bag includes two bottles of wine, chocolates, a coloring book created by Studios artists, a watercolor set, and more. Though similar, each bag is unique since they were decorated by hand.

their finished pieces in the Kids Art Smart studio for all to see!” she continued. “Kids can come by with their parents and show them off or, we do a walkthrough video and post it online so that those who can’t come in are able to see them!”

During the pandemic, the arts organization has certainly demonstrated its ability adapt.

When the Studios on the Park board of directors realized the in-person fundraiser couldn’t happen this year, they brainstormed and came up with the art bag idea, formed a committee, and made it happen. Anne Laddon, one of Studios artists, created the bag design. Volunteer artists decorated the bags and found the items—most of which were donated—to fill them.

“It’s been a rough go during this pandemic,” Ambrose admitted. “Studios had to close from March to June. When we were able to open back up, we created strict guidelines for everyone to follow, such as a mask requirement, directional arrows on the ground to allow for social distancing, and fewer people into Studios at a time. Luckily, our building is so large that people can still come in and browse around at all the art and not feel like they are on top of each other.

“We have been very fortunate that we have received two PPP [Paycheck Protection Program] loans now along with grants from the city of Paso Robles and The Wonderful Company. So financially, we have been hanging on,” Ambrose added, “but it certainly is not the same without having our visitors in. Our

numbers have gone down significantly from pre-pandemic times, which saddens us because we love the art we have at Studios and want to show it off to everyone. We’re unable to host our monthly opening events, in-person classes and workshops, and fundraisers such as this!”

But Studios staff worked hard to get creative by doing online classes, hosting the exhibitions online as well in the gallery so that people can still look around and purchase the art, she said. And they’ve created a list of resources that parents could go to for their kids or that adults could go to themselves.

“It certainly hasn’t been easy,” Ambrose said, “but without our donors being there to support us through the years, I’m not sure we’d be able to be where we are!” ∆ Contact Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Caste away A

279 ROOM

dapted from Aravind Adiga’s 2008 novel and written for the screen and directed by Ramin Bahrani (Man Push Cart, Fahrenheit 451), The White Tiger follows low-caste Indian striver Balram Halwai (Adarsh Gourav), who dreams of success. The film’s setup finds Balram, now an entrepreneur, emailing Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao as he explains his life’s trajectory, which we hear in voiceover narration. Proficient in English and good in school, Balram was told as a child he is a white tiger, someone who comes along once in a generation. He hoped to be educated further but instead his grandmother sent him to work breaking coal in a tea shop.

He eventually saw his big chance when the son of the village landlord needed a chauffeur. Believing this was his path out of poverty, Balram relished his new job but quickly learned his caste wouldn’t change and neither would his future unless he took matters into his own hands. (125 min.)

Glen India is a mystery to me. I’ve never visited, so I don’t really know how the caste system plays out in the modern world. It seems very anachronistic, but according to this story, it’s alive and well.

As a boy, Balram demonstrated the raw intelligence to be offered a scholarship to a school in Delhi, but because his family was too poor to pay off village landlord The Stork (Mahesh Manjrekar), he couldn’t go. Years later, now a young adult, he works as a driver for The Stork’s youngest son, Ashok (Rajkumar Rao) and his wife, Pinky (Priyanka Chopra-Jonas), who behave much more progressively than the other Indians we meet, such as Ashok’s older brother, Mukesh “The Mongoose” (Vijay Maurya), who never lets his servants forget their place. Society has trained Balram to be a subservient, and we watch as he discovers this corrupt system is designed to keep him down.

He equates his situation to chickens held in cages to be slaughtered. They know they’re next, but they do nothing to escape, resigned to their fate. Eventually, he realizes how little he means to his employers and how utterly disposable he is. This is the story of a cunning young man who learns to be as ruthless as his masters.

Sent by his boss to his old LA department to pick up evidence, he’s drawn into an investigation with the department’s new hotshot detective Jim Baxter (Rami Malek), whose current case may be related to an earlier case Deke never solved.

Matt Kettmann and Macduff Everton go behind the scenes of regional winemaking with new book, Vines & Vision

A

sweeping landscape of Bien Nacido Vineyards in Santa Maria graces the cover of Vines & Vision: The Winemakers of Santa Barbara County, a new book from writer Matt Kettmann and photojournalist Macduff Everton.

The duo first collaborated in early 2017, when Kettmann contributed a chapter to a group cookbook, Around the Table: Recipes and Stories from the Lark in Santa Barbara, which Everton copublished and provided photography for.

“But we didn’t meet in person until later that fall, over pints of Guinness at the James Joyce pub on State Street,” Kettmann, senior editor at the Santa Barbara Independent, recalled. “That’s when Macduff proposed that we do a wine book together, and I agreed, thinking it would be an easy affair.”

Everton pitched the book to Kettmann as the first of its kind, he explained.

“I mentioned to Matt there were umpteen books on Napa, Sonoma, and other wine regions, but there wasn’t a single contemporary one for Santa Barbara County and that was crazy,” Everton said. “We have world-class wines, unique geography that is gorgeous. Why don’t we do one? Between us, we had decades of experience—who better to do it than ourselves?”

“Three years of hard work later, Vines & Vision was finally released,” Kettmann said.

At 632 pages in length, Vines & Vision profiles about 100 different winemakers through in-depth reporting from Kettmann and stunning, intimate photography from Everton. Described as a deep dive into Santa Barbara County’s wine culture, the book features chapters on history, geography, viticulture, and relevant trends within the industry, including the popularity Sideways brought to the region after its release in 2004 and challenges local winemakers have faced as a result of the ongoing pandemic.

Given the current difficulties of visiting wine country, Vines & Vision offers readers a way to explore the region’s wineries and vineyards from the safety of their own homes, Kettmann said.

Kettmann originally assumed Vines & Vision would be a relatively undemanding project, as both he and Everton had already immersed themselves into the regional wine scene during their respective careers.

“Macduff has sporadically photographed Santa Barbara wine country since the 1980s, and I had been covering it as a journalist since 2000, both for the Independent as well as Wine Spectator (2004-2013), Wine Enthusiast (2014-present), and other publications like The New York Times and Sunset,” Kettmann said.

VINEYARD SPRAWL The cover of Vines & Vision: The Winemakers of Santa Barbara County, a new book from co-authors Matt Kettmann and Macduff Everton, features a shot of Bien Nacido Vineyards in Santa Maria.

“I already knew all of the main players and properties personally, had good relationships with most everyone, and I thought it would be relatively straightforward to pull off,” he continued.

“More or less it was, but it still required a serious amount of work. Macduff was shooting weekly, sometimes daily, for at least two years, and I spent the better part of 18 months interviewing and writing.”

For Everton, the biggest monkey wrench during the editing process was not being able to sit side by side with Kettmann in person to proofread the book and make corrections together.

“Instead, Matt printed out the book, then emailed me the corrections, and I’d upload the corrected pages or send PDFs,” Everton said. “In any good collaboration, the sum is greater than its parts. I think Matt will agree that we have a pretty easy relationship and good work ethic so things get done without much drama— the pandemic provided that, making it much more difficult to work together.”

Both co-authors share backgrounds in anthropology as well as journalism, which Everton said is the reason Vines & Vision is more about the men and women behind the wine rather than the wine itself.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION Vines & Vision features chapters on history, geography, viticulture, and relevant trends within the industry, including the popularity Sideways brought to the Central Coast after its release in 2004. Local winemaker and restaurateur Frank Ostini (pictured) shares his input.

“That’s why so much of the book is about the people, and why we included the Buen Equipo chapter—why hasn’t anybody else given similar recognition to vineyard workers? Winemakers are the first to tell you how important they are,” Everton said.

The chapter Everton referred to, one both he and Kettmann are especially proud of, is dedicated to showcasing several vineyard workers based in Santa Barbara County, “most prominently the farm laborers who are typically overlooked in books of this sort,” Kettmann said.

Kettmann also summarized the reporting in Vines & Vision as focusing more on the people and places involved, “not so much on bottled goods.”

“Many of Everton’s shots capture winemakers doing non-wine things, so we like to say that it’s a wine book that’s not

IN GOOD COMPANY “In an industry as complex as viticulture working in a state as regulated as California, there’s an entire army of office staff required to put paperwork in order and keep people safe,” Matt Kettmann writes, in a profile of Wendy Robles (pictured), who started working for Coastal Vineyard Care Associates upon graduating from Cal Poly SLO.

really about wine,” Kettmann said.

For Everton, the end result of both journalists’ extensive efforts is merely “a snapshot—a time capsule—of winemaking in SB County,” he explained.

“The book is 632 pages already and easily could have been a couple hundred more,” Everton said. “We could have continued working indefinitely as changes are occurring as we speak—the pandemic, fires, drought, personnel changes at wineries and vineyards. But we had to stop.

“Originally I was designing it to be 12-by-12, but we decided 9 1/2-by-11 was more lap friendly,” he added. “As it is, it weighs 8 pounds. Imagine if we’d kept the 12-by-12 dimensions—you’d need a note from your doctor to lift it.” ∆ Drop Calendar Editor Caleb Wiseblood a vine at cwiseblood@newtimesslo.com.

CLA FOR E T A PRIV IES PART

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Herman Hesse’s novel Siddartha is a story about a spiritual seeker who goes in search of illumination. Near the end of the quest, when Siddartha is purified and enlightened, he tells his friend, “I greatly needed sin, lust, vanity, the striving for goods, and the most shameful despair, to learn how to love the world, to stop comparing the world with any world that I wish for, with any perfection that I think up; I learned to let the world be as it is, and to love it and to belong to it gladly.” While I trust you won’t overdo the sinful stuff in the coming months, Aries, I hope you will reach a conclusion like Siddartha’s. The astrological omens suggest that 2021 is the best year ever for you to learn how to love your life and the world just as they are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus physicist Richard Feynman said, “If we want to solve a problem we have never solved before, we must leave the door to the unknown ajar.” That’s always good advice, but it’s especially apropos for you in the coming weeks. You are being given the interesting and fun opportunity to solve a problem you have never solved before!

Be sure to leave the door to the unknown ajar. Clues and answers may come from unexpected sources.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When we want to get a distinct look at a faint star, we must avert our eyes away from it just a little.

If we look at it directly, it fades into invisibility. (There’s a scientific explanation for this phenomenon, which I won’t go into.) I propose that we make this your metaphor of power for the coming weeks. Proceed on the hypothesis that if you want to get glimpses of what’s in the distance or in the future, don’t gaze at it directly. Use the psychological version of your peripheral vision. And yes, now is a favorable time to seek those glimpses.

(June 21-July 22): If the apocalypse happens and you’re the last human left on Earth, don’t worry about getting enough to eat. Just find an intact grocery store and make your new home there. It’s stocked with enough nonperishable food to feed you for 55 years—or 63 years if you’re willing to dine on pet food. I’M JOKING! JUST KIDDING! In fact, the apocalypse won’t happen for another 503 million years. My purpose in imagining such a loopy scenario is to nudge you to dissolve your scarcity thinking. Here’s the ironic fact of the matter for us Cancerians: If we indulge in fearful fantasies about running out of stuff—money, resources, love, or time—we undermine our efforts to have enough of what we need. The time is now right for you to stop worrying and instead take robust action to ensure you’re well-supplied for a long time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Judge a moth by the beauty of its candle,” writes Coleman Barks in his rendering of a poem by Rumi. In accordance with astrological omens, I am invoking that thought as a useful metaphor for your life right now.

How lovely and noble are the goals you’re pursuing? How exalted and bighearted are the dreams you’re focused on?

If you find there are any less-than-beautiful aspects to your motivating symbols and ideals, now is a good time to make adjustments.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I invite you to try the following experiment. Select two situations in your world that really need to be reinvented, and let every other glitch and annoyance just slide for now. Then meditate with tender ferocity on how best to get the transformations done.

Summoning intense focus will generate what amounts to magic! PS: Maybe the desired reinventions would require other people to alter their behavior. But it’s also possible that your own behavior may need altering.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Author Marguerite Duras wrote these words: “That she had so completely recovered her sanity

was a source of sadness to her. One should never be cured of one’s passion.” I am spiritually allergic to that idea. It implies that our deepest passions are unavailable unless we’re insane, or at least disturbed. But in the world I aspire to live in, the opposite is true: Our passions thrive if we’re mentally healthy. We are best able to harness our most inspiring motivations if we’re feeing poised and stable. So I’m here to urge you to reject Duras’s perspective and embrace mine. The time has arrived for you to explore the mysteries of relaxing passion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Author Karen Barad writes, “The past is never finished. It cannot be wrapped up like a package, or a scrapbook; we never leave it and it never leaves us behind.”

I agree. That’s why I can’t understand New Age teachers who advise us to “live in the now.” That’s impossible! We are always embedded in our histories. Everything we do is conditioned by our life story. I acknowledge that there’s value in trying to see the world afresh in each new moment.

I’m a hearty advocate of adopting a “beginner’s mind.” But to pretend we can completely shut off or escape the past is delusional and foolish. Thank you for listening to my rant, Scorpio. Now please spend quality time upgrading your love and appreciation for your own past. It’s time to celebrate where you have come from—and meditate on how your history affects who you are now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Luisah Teish is a writer and priestess in the Yoruban Lucumi tradition. She wrote a book called Jump Up: Seasonal Celebrations from the World’s Deep Traditions.

“Jump up” is a Caribbean phrase that refers to festive rituals and parties that feature “joyous music, laughter, food, and dancing.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’re due for a phase infused with the “jump up” spirit. As Teish would say, it’s a time for “jumping, jamming, swinging, hopping, and kicking it.” I realize that in order to do this, you will have to work around the very necessary limitations imposed on us all by the pandemic. Do the best you can.

Maybe make it a virtual or fantasy jump up. Maybe dance alone in the dark.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Perhaps we should know better,” wrote poet Tony Hoagland, “but we keep on looking, thinking, and listening, hunting that singular book, theory, perception, or tonality that will unlock and liberate us.” It’s my duty to report, Capricorn, that there will most likely be no such singular magnificence for you in 2021. However, I’m happy to tell you that an accumulation of smaller treasures could ultimately lead to a substantial unlocking and liberation.

For that to happen, you must be alert for and appreciate the small treasures, and patiently gather them in. (PS: Author Rebecca Solnit says, “We devour heaven in bites too small to be measured.” I say: The small bites of heaven you devour in the coming months will ultimately add up to being dramatically measurable.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author Alice Walker writes, “In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful.”

In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll adopt that way of thinking and apply it to every aspect of your perfectly imperfect body and mind and soul. I hope you’ll give the same generous blessing to the rest of the world, as well. This attitude is always wise to cultivate, of course, but it will be especially transformative for you in the coming weeks. It’s time to celebrate your gorgeous idiosyncrasies and eccentricities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Though the bamboo forest is dense, water flows through it freely.” I offer that Zen saying just in time for you to adopt it as your metaphor of power. No matter how thick and complicated and impassable the terrain might appear to be in the coming weeks, I swear you’ll have a flair for finding a graceful path through it. All you have to do is imitate the consistency and flow of water. ∆
