Atascadero High students speak out about culture of assault, bullying
I
n early December, an Instagram page began posting testimonies from students at Atascadero High School. The anonymous stories range from allegations of homophobia and transphobia, to racism, to sexual assault happening at the North County school. A common theme among the posts is an alleged lack of action taken by school administrators. “I’m a junior at AHS and so is the person who sexually harrassed me,” one anonymous post from Dec. 8 says. “However, when I finally gained confidence to speak out about it, the school silenced me and threatened me with suspension claiming that I am isolating and bullying my abuser. My abuser has been protected and hasn’t gotten punished at all.” This is one of nearly 50 stories that have been
shared so far on the account, posted under the handle @ahs_iustitia. AHS parent Elle Jacobs said she and other parents were first made aware of the account on Dec. 10. “The school district actually sent out a message to all of the parents saying they were aware that there was an Instagram page that needed to be looked into, and that they were going to investigate and look into it,” Jacobs said. “Parents such as myself searched for it, found this, and were disgusted.” Atascadero Unified School District Superintendent Tom Butler told New Times that the high school takes allegations of bullying and harassment seriously and works with the Atascadero Police Department in cases of criminal behavior. “The one thing that I would want to make clear

SPEAKING OUT Atascadero High School students walked from their school to the Sunken Gardens on Dec. 17 to protest the way their administration handles allegations of sexual assault, bullying, and harassment.
OHV driving ban temporarily lifted while Superior Court weighs lawsuit California State Parks settled on an agreement with Friends of Oceano Dunes on Dec. 17 to temporarily prevent the closures of the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA) and the entrance to Pier Avenue. Officials also agreed to pause the ban on crossing Arroyo Grande Creek. This agreement will stay in place until a San Luis Obispo Superior Court judge rules on Friends’ lawsuit against the California Coastal Commission. “State Parks has stopped canceling camping reservations in the park. It is important to note that if Arroyo Grande Creek reaches 12 inches in depth or more, vehicle access and camping will be restricted, and reservations will again be

subject to cancellation under those conditions,” said State Parks Information Officer Adeline Yee. “Camping reservations between Dec. 24 and 28 that did not receive a cancellation notice are still valid and will be honored.” Yee added that Arroyo Grande Creek is currently nonexistent with the exception of high tide periods when it connects to the ocean at a depth of a few inches. Originally, a March 2021 permit change by the Coastal Commission required the SVRA to close by 2024, and the Pier Avenue entrance to shutter by July 1, 2022. The permit update also included a host of other interim restrictions like a prohibition against crossing the Arroyo Grande Creek even if a trickle of water is present. Friends then filed a lawsuit to overturn the Coastal Commission’s decision. “Early this week, [State] Parks began
is that sharing things on an anonymous Instagram is quite a bit different than reporting them to authorities,” he said. “I would encourage students to utilize the Police Department, the Sheriff’s Office, as well as reaching out to school administrators so that [allegations] can be fully investigated.” But some students say that they’ve tried to go to administrators when issues arise, and that their allegations aren’t taken seriously. “Many friends of mine have been poorly impacted by teachers and students who have harassed them in class,” one AHS student, who requested to remain anonymous, told New Times. “It truly angers me to see people be treated in such a terrible, out-of-date way. ... Every school in America needs to address this in the same way, and that is to support its victims, and to look into it similarly to how Cal Poly is working with their sexual assault and rape allegations and claims that have happened at their school.” Students decided to make their voices heard in a different way: More than 150 students marched from the high school to the Sunken Gardens on Dec. 17 to protest and demand change. “These kids are shedding light on something that the school district would prefer to keep dark,” said Jacobs, who helped the students organize their walk. “From what we’ve heard, from alumni reaching out, this is nothing new. … It needs to be handled differently, it needs to be taken seriously.” Superintendent Butler said the district supports the students’ right to protest. “We encourage them to do that in a peaceful manner,” he said. “We want them to know that there are resources, we are accessible, and this is a shared goal to have a positive campus.” Dozens of students got up to share their stories during the Dec. 17 protest, each followed by booming cheers from the growing crowd. “They are here to call on their superintendent, their principal, their teachers, their high school, because they want change,” said Jacobs as she watched her own kids and other students speak out at the protest. “They want to be able to focus on their education, which is why they’re there— not be shamed for what they look like, their race, who they love, any of those things.” Δ —Malea Martin canceling camping reservations based on minimal amounts of water in Arroyo Grande Creek. This effectively closed OHV [off-highway vehicles] and camping at the park,” Friends’ press release stated. “Friends had been negotiating with Parks and the Commission to ‘stay’ the March 2021 permit conditions during the litigation.” Friends President Jim Suty told New Times that his organization settled on an agreement to ensure continued access for families to camp and engage in off-roading in the state-legislated SVRA. The week of Dec. 17 was eventful for Friends because it also marked a Superior Court decision to deny its challenge of another Coastal Commission decision approving a dust control permit at the dunes.

Karl Tupper, SLO County Air Pollution Control District’s senior air quality scientist said that the court’s dismissal of the case means that the dust controls installed in 2020—including the 48acre expansion of dune land for dust mitigation—were properly authorized by the Coastal Commission. On Dec. 17, the Coastal Commission also approved the State Park’s dust control projects for 2022. “We can only speculate about what the consequences would have been had the court ruled in favor of Friends [about the mandate],” Tupper said. “But it’s likely the commission would have had to redo the hearing on the project and possibly have had to pay Friends’ attorney’s fees.” —Bulbul Rajagopal
SLO County gets split up in state redistricting
The California Citizens Redistricting Commission wrapped up its work on Dec. 20, making major changes to how San Luis Obispo County will be represented in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., for the next decade. New state Senate, state Assembly, and congressional district boundaries split SLO County into multiple districts—an outcome that locals had hoped to avoid after the 2010 lines kept SLO County together. Moving forward, in Congress, U.S. Rep.
Salud Carbajal’s (D-Santa Barbara) 24th District will shift to the south, splitting SLO County along a horizontal border just south of Atascadero and Cambria. That change will put the majority of North County in the 19th District, which is currently represented by U.S. Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-Carmel Valley). Panetta’s district will also change as a result of redistricting. It drops the Salinas Valley and San Benito County and morphs into a mostly coastal district that creeps into the Bay Area, picking up part of San Jose. The redistricting commission assigned North SLO County the 19th District instead of the 18th District—which will cover San Benito County and the Salinas Valley down south to the Monterey County/SLO County border (but not the coastline). In a statement to New Times about his new district, Carbajal said he respected the commission’s work and promised to “keep working on issues important to [SLO County] for as long as I am in Congress.” “With the district being redrawn, I will work closely with my colleague U.S. Rep. Panetta to ensure all of SLO County continues to be well-represented in Congress,” Carbajal said in the statement. SLO County will also be split into multiple state Legislature districts. The biggest shake-up is in the Assembly, where Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham’s (R-SLO) 35th District is dramatically redrawn and renamed the 30th District.
According to the new Assembly map, Cunningham loses Nipomo and all of northern Santa Barbara County, and picks up a long, narrow stretch of coastal Monterey County and Santa Cruz County, from Big Sur to Capitola. Nipomo joins the new 37th District, which predominantly covers Santa Barbara County. Experts say that the new lines make Cunningham vulnerable to a Democratic challenger. His last election opponent, Dawn Addis, a Democrat and Morro Bay City Council member, has already announced her 2022 candidacy. Cunningham’s office did not return a request for comment before press time. “Cunningham’s district would become a lot more Democratic,” Cal Poly Political Science professor Michael Latner told New Times. “One of the things we’re seeing in California, for sure, is less incumbent protection. It looks like a lot more incumbents are in trouble.” In the state Senate, most of SLO County will continue to be in the 17th District, represented by state Sen. John Laird (D-Santa Cruz). But as Laird’s district expands to the north, it sheds the southeastern region of SLO County. State Sen. Monique Limón (D-Goleta) and the 21st District pick up that territory, which includes Nipomo and rural communities like the California Valley. —Peter Johnson
Cambria vets lose ADA parking spot to new EV charger
A few weeks ago, Cambria resident Brian Griffin went down to the local Veterans Memorial Hall to enjoy some baked potatoes and hot dogs at the weekly meal provided for veterans like him. But when he arrived, something was different. “I went down there, and here’s these two electric vehicle charging stations in the place where there was a handicap parking spot,” said Griffin, vice president of American Legion Post 432 in Cambria. “I went in and started asking what was going on there. Everybody was just kind of shrugging their shoulders saying, ‘I don’t know why they did that.’” For the disabled veterans who use the American Legion clubhouse, the former ADA spot was essential, Griffin said. The other ADA spots “are up a graded area, probably a couple of hundred feet away from the door to the club,” he said. “We’re upset about this whole thing because nobody even asked us where we’d like to see these things.” The electric vehicle (EV) charging station was funded by a grant from the SLO County Air Pollution Control District (APCD), but it was installed by the Cambria Community Services District, which owns and operates the Vets Hall. Vince Kirkhuff, air quality specialist with the APCD, said that while the county didn’t have a say over where the EV charger was placed, he had a couple of NEWS continued page 6

theories as to why this spot was chosen. “EV spaces are required to follow the ADA guidelines,” Kirkhuff explained. “I would imagine that has something to do with why they used one of their handicap spots as a charger. The other thing about positioning EV chargers is you want to place them close to where the power is. There’s substantial expense if you have to extend your electrical line out to another spot.” John Weigold, Cambria Community Services District general manager, said he’s still trying to get to the bottom of why the chargers were placed there. “That north side of the building was selected because of the ease of access to the electrical panel inside the building,” Weigold said. “Originally, we thought the charging stations were going to be to the left of where they currently are, not impacting the ADA spot on the end. Then somehow during the permitting process with the engineer that drew up the drawings, it got moved all the way to the right.” Weigold looked into creating a temporary ADA spot. “But we can’t unilaterally create our own ADA spot—that has to be permitted,” he said. One potential resolution is to move the EV charger spots over, but that can’t happen just yet. “We have to first complete the installation process and get final permit approval, because that drives our ability
to get reimbursed with the grant,” Weigold said. “That shouldn’t be too much longer, I would say three weeks to get that wrapped up. Then we’re focused on [finding] the long-term solution.” Griffin said he’s in favor of having electric vehicle charging stations in the community—just not in the current location. “We want to encourage people to come here from all over the state, and use the businesses and all that,” he said. “But why in the world would anyone want to put electric vehicle charging stations around the back of the building where nobody can see them? … It would have been great to have two handicap spots down there where the entrance to the American Legion club is, and now we have none.” —Malea Martin

Passion and politics For some Paso school board hopefuls, the recent appointment process got too political—and personal
S
chool boards are nonpartisan governing bodies. But in Paso Robles, that doesn’t prevent some board members from getting political. “Nonpartisan office means you don’t elect based on Democrat or Republican,” Chris Arend, Paso Robles Joint Unified School District board president, told New Times. “But it is definitely a political office.” Arend didn’t shy away from expressing his political views when the Paso school board held interviews to fill an open trustee position on Dec. 7. He put it straightforwardly: “I would rather have a conservative candidate on the board than a liberal board member,” he told New Times. During the Dec. 7 meeting, each trustee gave their top two choices, and from there the board whittled the list down to two candidates: W. Frank Triggs, a retired pastor and church business manager, and Adelita Hiteshew, a district paraeducator with three kids at district schools. Triggs ultimately won majority support of the board, with a 4-2 vote to appoint him. As the board deliberated on Dec. 7, Arend talked about why he didn’t support Hiteshew for the appointment. “She was obviously in favor of introducing critical race theory,” Arend said, to which multiple board members murmured, “She never said that.” Critical race theory (CRT) was a hot topic for Paso and districts across the country in 2021. Paso spent months discussing CRT after Arend drafted a resolution that would ban teaching the theory in the district. The school board banned teaching it on Aug. 10, except for including instruction that focuses on the theory’s flaws.
“It was clear when she criticized the fact that we adopted the ethnic studies course but trimmed it down: The main trimming we did on the ethnic studies course was CRT,” Arend said. Prior to the district’s discussions over whether to ban CRT, Paso debated the curriculum of a proposed ethic studies elective course at the high school. Hiteshew told New Times in an interview that her views on the ethnic studies course had nothing to do with critical race theory. “I specifically mentioned this course because the board set forth requirements to hear the course, and those requirements were met,” Hiteshew said. “Then they went through and read the course and said, ‘Nope you’re pushing too far.’ [They] asked for further paring down of the course, and then ultimately begrudgingly only agreed to offer the course for a year, only to 11th and 12th grade students.” As far as critical race theory goes, Hiteshew said, “anyone who’s arguing for an ethnic studies course is not even remotely speaking to CRT.” “We would just like a full picture of people of colors’ influence on our history,” Hiteshew continued. “Anything that I was arguing in regards to the ethnic studies course was that it was not a fair opportunity for that course to be successful.” Arend didn’t stop at criticizing Hiteshew’s views—he also made comments about the way she expressed them. “She tended to be kind of flowery, a bit emotional, in her answering the questions,” Arend told the board on Dec. 7. “The decisions we have to make here, maybe it’s just me, but I think you’ve got to make them, frankly, ice cold and

It was clear that they were thoughts and beliefs to bear on decisions. more political based. … I didn’t feel like they That is how a democratic republic works.” In 2022, the board will move to bytrustee area elections, rather than atlarge, as the district is finalizing trustee area boundaries after the threat of a lawsuit for violating the California Voting Rights Act. Bausch said this could have an impact on who gets elected next. “It depends on the candidates who choose to run and how much traction they have within their own district,” Bausch said. “Will that be a good thing or a bad thing? Again, it depends on what your views are. But it’s the public that has to make that decision—not the school board.” Hiteshew said she isn’t sure yet if she will run for the board next year. But either way, she plans to stay involved. “There is power in the community.

Staying afloat Sailors across San Luis Obispo County want Port San Luis Harbor facilities to be more inclusive, less strenuous
S
eventy-seven-year-old Doug Morris belongs among San Luis Obispo’s smattering of sailing aficionados. But the absence of an accessible sailboat launch facility at the Port San Luis Harbor put the brakes on a passion he’s pursued from fourth grade. “I’d like to sail down there before I die. Wouldn’t that be nice?” he laughed. Morris’ determination to sail drove him to spearhead a plan to update the Harford Pier with facilities like a hoist that can lift sailboats weighing at least 2,000 pounds, a staging dock, and an accessible stair and gangway that bridges the dock to the shore. Brought to the Harbor Commission’s attention in 2017, Morris’ small movement became a magnet for the local sailing community. Now, a throng of recreational and competitive sailors keeps him company, all united in making Port San Luis more inclusive. Morris’ efforts prompted the Harbor Commission to asses whether it needed such an amenity. The agency commissioned an architecture firm to create a working design plan that might be included in the Harford Pier site plan, and the firm released a preliminary version of that plan in August 2021. The Harbor Commission will review the plan design in January 2022. Currently, the port includes a hoist at the foot of the pier that can lift up to 1,000 pounds. But there’s no floating dock below it that can make lowering boats from trailer to water less physically taxing. Instead, sailors have to stay clutched to a steel ladder while maneuvering their vessels.
“When I was 20 years old, that wasn’t a big deal. But now I’m 65. It’s not a place where you could launch 20 boats for a regatta. We’d love to have a 5,000-pound hoist, but a 2,000-pound would do,” said Charlie Nichols, the fleet captain for DaySailer Fleet 128 in Morro Bay. Nichols, a Morro Bay Yacht Club member, is one of the sailors who teamed up with Morris. He added that the existing hoist is too low, and sailboats couldn’t be launched with the mast up. Both he and Morris told New Times that the current launch facility isn’t equitable and is more suited for sport fishing boats. It doesn’t provide enough overhead space for sailing boats to unfurl their masts while the boat in the air. According to Nichols, opening the mast once the boat is lowered onto the water is nearly impossible. “It’s a nice facility for powerboats, but boy, it’s not at all useful for a sailboat. We kinda feel like the sailing community has been left out over the years,” Nichols said. Though he said that the sailboat community isn’t adversarial toward the Harbor Commission, Nichols mentioned that officials didn’t funnel as much money toward sailing as they did to other recreational activities like tourism and the new Flying Flags RV campsite in Avila Beach. Morris added that sailboats deserve a stronger limelight than they presently get because their wind-driven nature makes them ecologically sustainable, especially in contrast to sport fishing boats powered by fossil fuels. A retired architect, he provided pro bono advice to the Harbor

can a person in a wheelchair sail a boat?’ They can, they do. They have to have some special access stuff,” Nichols said. Even if a more inclusive pier gets the green light, it would still be a significant wait before such a facility could be installed because of possible grant acquisition delays. Bruce Fraser of Fraser and Seiple Architects—the firm that the Harbor Commission contracted to oversee the pier plan—told New Times that the size of Harford Pier combined with its fairly unique status as a working pier and a tourist destination extended their investigation time. Interim Harbor Manager John D’Ornellas said that administrators aim to complete the Harford Pier site plan project at the end of this fiscal year, which is next summer. He named some obstacles of the past. “While the Harbor District has received requests to modify MUSIC the hoist in the past and has looked into it, a practical and FLAVOR/EATS feasible design has not been ELBOW GREASE Launching a small sailboat using realized.

Opinion Sanctuaries aren’t working
One of the things I am not seeing in the discussion over a new marine sanctuary off our coast is how well are the ones we have working? As written by Lori French (“Unnecessary protection,” Dec. 16) there are four national marine sanctuaries designated in California since 1980. Also, there are 124 state marine protected areas, reserves and preserves, plus another five rock fish conservation areas. From the point of view of fishermen, all of this coverage is not producing more fish. The promised “spillover affect” hasn’t worked. So what is the answer from government and environmentalists? Just make more. Right. When something is not working, just make more of it. Meanwhile, the price of seafood continues to increase. When Congress began designating marine sanctuaries, San Luis Obispo County still had commercial and recreational abalone fishing. Pismo Beach still had a clam fishery. The red sea urchin fishery had begun at Port San Luis and soon after became California’s biggest fishery. There were also set-net and trawl fisheries for halibut and rock fish. Now, our local fisheries are a shadow of their former economic powerhouse. We haven’t gained anything in 50 years, but we have lost 90 percent of our fisheries. Why do we need more of this when it is not working? Steve Rebuck San Luis Obispo
I hate that Compton hates Oceano
Thanks for the shout-out from The Shredder last week (“Facts and facts,” Dec. 16), regarding when I spoke before the Board of Supervisors in November about redistricting and Oceano being abandoned, yet again.
HODIN
For the record, I don’t “hate” Supervisor Lynn Compton. I don’t have enough emotional investment in her personally to drum up hate. What I do feel though is extreme disappointment in Supervisor Compton’s continual disregard for Oceano’s citizens. We have a dire lack of infrastructure throughout most of Oceano, and that is because our supervisor does not fight for us. Currently she is actively fighting against community members trying to make a positive difference. Compton’s big humble-brag was that she chased out the homeless RVs. Unfortunately, she left behind the actual homeless, now without any mobility or shelter from the elements. The people who are impressed by such callous measures are her voting base, and there just aren’t that many in Oceano, which is why she gleefully carved us out of her district. We all knew months and months in advance and we all knew the decision was a foregone conclusion from day one. So, no, I don’t “hate” Supervisor Compton. What I hate is that she hates Oceano. Oceano deserves better. April Dury Oceano
Make good choices
The ability to focus on what’s essential helps us weave a strong life fabric. We must concern ourselves with what’s truly important and let the rest fall by the wayside, unburdening us so we can keep a strong pace on our path through life. It’s easy to become complacent, doing what’s expected because we’re surrounded by others who tell us it’s “right.” But how do we know? We look deeper. We show by our actions what we truly value.

s the year comes to a close, so does SLO County’s redistricting process that has spanned many months and thousands of pieces of communication from concerned citizens. The Board of Supervisors majority gaveled a decision on Dec. 14, adopting a map defining the new county district boundaries to be drastically different than those that currently stand. I have shared my fears and hopes about this decision many times in this space over the last many months as we have watched this day approach, and though unsurprising, the reality and weight of their decision has left the community shocked and confused. The adopted “Patten map” is legally and morally wrong, and you don’t have to look hard to see its flaws. The worst of which is that the Patten map undermines our democracy. Though our county has more registered Democratic voters, these new districts remove competitive elections for each district, giving Republican voters a clear and overt voting advantage, leaving the minority group in charge of the majority of the county. With these new districts, partisan advantage widens in
changes to our existing boundaries. The county’s low population growth reflected on the recent census shows that no change was legally necessary. So all of this upheaval is over something that wasn’t necessary in the first place? You read that right. The law is also clear that if you’re going to redistrict, you cannot favor one political party over another, you cannot dilute any minority voices, and you must respect long-standing communities of interest. Sure looks like we failed this test. As a person who doesn’t naturally tend toward hopefulness, there is much cause for concern. This conservative majority doesn’t seem to want to do much about climate change, affordable housing, water security, or addressing sustainable solutions for our county’s unhoused population, and now that they have secured their future power, progress won’t be coming anytime soon. But there is one thing giving me hope in all of this. This new Patten map represents a partisan power grab so blatant and deliberate that the outrage isn’t just contained within traditional partisan lines. In fact, the consideration
Though our county has more registered Democratic voters, these new districts remove competitive elections for each district, giving Republican voters a clear and overt voting advantage, leaving the minority group in charge of the majority of the county. every district, allowing candidates for office to win by pandering to the fringes of their base instead of doing the work to win votes from a broad base of support across the community. It’s not just undemocratic, it is also clearly unfair. Across our nation we have watched similar efforts unfold at all levels, but this one is personal, this one is an assault on our home and our neighborhoods and the community we love. These new districts wrong us in many ways countywide. Along with being blatantly partisan, the new map divides the community of Oceano from Nipomo, which in turn breaks up the vote of the Latino population and dilutes the voices of South County Latino voters. As a Los Osos resident, the impact is multifaceted and extreme. The Patten map breaks apart the North Coast communities of Los Osos, Morro Bay, and Cayucos that share a 10-mile coastline of the same roads, schools, and services. Now, our communities will be in three separate districts with three different supervisors. Not only this but our American right to vote is taken away. The 16,533 Los Osos residents, along with thousands of others from around the county, will be skipped next year when it comes our time to vote in county elections, and we won’t get to vote again until 2024. But wait, it gets worse. Starting Jan. 13, 2022, when this new map formally becomes law, we won’t have any elected leadership at all. No one represents us again until 2025. For Los Osos, an unincorporated community with no city council, this is profound. While redistricting happens nationwide, the real issue is that here in SLO County, our board was not required to make
and adoption of such an undemocratic process and manipulated voting districts have brought people together in a new way and galvanized an entirely new countywide effort. A nonpartisan group, SLO County Citizens for Good Government (sloccgg.org), joined forces in mid-December and announced its intent to file a lawsuit against the county Board of Supervisors for its actions in an effort to overturn the Patten map and restore a fair and balanced political approach in SLO County. The outcome may be one of the most impactful decisions we will see in decades. I am giving my support to this effort and encourage you to consider how you will participate. As I frequently say, the future is in your hands. ∆ Quinn Brady (she/her) is a community advocate, organizer, and mother on the Central Coast.

Opinion
The Shredder
Emo action W hile 100,000 SLO County residents will be voting in strange districts during their next local election cycle due to the partisan inclinations of our very own local body of electeds, the state’s nonpartisan, independent redistricting commission split SLO County up for both state and national representation. According to CNN, the commission didn’t take into account existing district lines or where representatives lived, which means incumbents aren’t necessarily protected for 2022, a good thing in the grand scheme of things but a bad thing for existing electeds starting with Republican holdout Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo). Cunningham, who’s managed to thread the needle on being a moderate conservative who isn’t crazy enough for the rightwing nutters in North County, has been unusually quiet about what the commission did to him—making it much harder for him to win another election. He’s losing a very dependable base of conservative voters in Santa Maria and picking up a reliably liberal base of voters in Big Sur and Monterey. Meanwhile Dawn Addis, a Morro Bay City Council member who lost to Cunningham in 2020, is just tickled pink about the new district. She’s so tickled that she announced her candidacy for Assembly before the new districts were even in their final draft stage! “We believe the new Central Coast
Assembly district will be very receptive to Dawn’s experience and values,” campaign spokesperson Michael Soneff told New Times in November—meaning, “In your face, Cunningham!” You think Republican Party of SLO President Randall Jordan is wishing he could take back all of the not-so-nice things he ever said about Cunningham’s conservative bona fides? Well, at least North County conservatives should be excited about one thing: U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) will no longer be their representative! But, before they count those Republican chickens, they should know: It’s not going to be much better for their side of the aisle in the future. The new congressional district puts rural North SLO County in a mostly coastal district that runs up through Big Sur into Monterey, Santa Cruz, and parts of San Jose! Very liberal! What’s RPSLO going to do? Maybe self-destruct and take the Patten map with it? That would be nice. You know what else would be nice? If the Paso Robles Unified School District could go back to being more concerned with actual education policies than national political issues. But here the school board goes, plunging itself back into the spotlight for being a partisan mess with current board President Chris Arend leading the way.

W
ith the holiday fast approaching, this week is pretty thin for concerts, but Numbskull and Good Medicine have one very fine show lined up next Thursday, Dec. 30, when The Coffis Brothers & The Mountain Men play The Siren (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $13 plus fees presale at eventbrite.com or $15 at the door), with Morro Bay folk duo The Turkey Buzzards opening. The band’s core members, Jamie and Kellen Coffis, were born and raised in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Northern California. Together they play a rootsy style of rock that’s reminiscent of Tom Petty, The Byrds, and The Jayhawks, and as they note in their bio, the brothers are “positioned in a long line of sibling duos that stretches back to the Delmores, the Louvins, and the Everly Brothers.” They first formed the band in 2010 along with childhood friend and neighbor Kyle Poppen, releasing their self-titled debut album in 2011. Their single, “Waiting For You,” was released in 2012, and their second full-length album, Wrong Side of The Road, came out in 2014—all produced by Andy Zenzcak at Gadgetbox Studios in Santa Cruz. After Wrong Side of The Road came out, Aidan Collins joined the band on bass guitar ahead of recording their third album, Roll With It (produced by Zenzcak at Barefoot Studios in 2017). The next two years was filled with near-constant touring with Sam Kellerman added on drums. The Coffis Brothers’ last album, In the Cuts, came out on April 24, 2020, just as it became clear that the pandemic was going to put the kibosh on touring and promoting it. The album was produced by Mother Hips member Tim Bluhm, “recorded at 25th Street Studios in Oakland at the beginning of 2019, and finished over several months at Bluhm’s home studio in Fairfax.”

Annual SLO Jewish Film Festival kicks off in January
Tickets are now available for the 12th annual San Luis Obispo Jewish Film Festival, which is scheduled to start on Sunday, Jan. 9. This year’s virtual event will stream its featured films through Sunday, Jan. 30. The theme of the 2022 festival is Our Global Mishpacha (Mishpacha is the Hebrew term for family and friends), as the event’s selection includes films from more than 12 different countries. “We sought out films from as many different countries as possible so that we could better understand the personal role of Judaism throughout the world,” Muara C. Johnston, co-director of the festival, said in press materials. “You’ll find insights into the differences as well as the traditions that bind us together as believers. “In a world that is seemingly more fractured than ever, Mishpacha reminds us that we are one big, inclusive global family,” Johnston added. “We felt that message was extra important to celebrate this year.” In addition to the festival’s lineup, which includes both feature-length and short narratives and documentaries, viewers will also have access to unfiltered, in-depth interviews with some of the filmmakers behind the films. For tickets and more info on the festival, visit slojff.com.

Visual poet Karl Kempton’s new photography book offers unique meditations on the Oceano Dunes
N
early two decades after his first poem was published, Oceano resident Karl Kempton envisioned a new way for Central Coast locals to enjoy poetry, without necessarily having to open a single book or crash an intimate, live reading. “In 1983, I thought the area could and should support an annual open poetry festival. I called a meeting inviting several San Luis Obispo city and county poets to discuss the idea,” said Kempton, who co-created the SLO Poetry Festival with Kevin Patrick Sullivan. “Only Kevin saw and felt what I saw and felt. That is how he and I co-founded the festival,” said Kempton, who explained how the festival gradually expanded over the years. “The first year it was in Linnaea’s Cafe. It grew each year. Soon we needed to be outside in the street, requiring SLO city approval.” Linnaea’s also became the venue for Kempton and Sullivan’s monthly poetry reading series, Corners of the Mouth. While Kempton’s traditional poems can be read aloud during this type of event, his visual poems require eyes rather than ears. “A visual poem is a poem composed such that it requires being seen for the full experience,” said Kempton, whose visual poems use letters, words, sentences, symbols, diagrams, hieroglyphs, pictographs, and other elements, which he described as becoming “transformed into new forms and abstractions,” once combined. “By crossing literary and art boundaries, the visual poet works in a field of multimedia, borderblur or intermedia, composing seamless works of fusion,” said Kempton, a firm admirer of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s famous quote, “Every word was once a poem.” “To explain my visual poetry, I sometimes point to the fact that we are like fish in water; our water is language, especially the written, taken for granted,” Kempton added. “Its shapes and forms are assumed and ignored; each letter has its own history of development to this moment.” When composing his poetry, Kempton often finds inspiration from his surroundings, which

o-writer and director Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water) helms this neo-noir psychological thriller film adaptation of William Lindsay Gresham’s 1946 novel about Stan Carlisle (Bradley Cooper), a carnival medium adept at manipulating people, who eventually joins forces with Dr. Lilith Ritter (Cate Blanchett), a corrupt psychiatrist, to grift Chicago’s elites. (150 min.) Glen This is classic old-school film noir filled with depraved characters, doublecrosses, and murder. Dark and gritty, it’s well-deserving of its R rating, and it looks every inch a film noir except it’s in color. The cinematography by Dan Lausten (who teamed with del Toro on the fantastic 2017 Best Picture Academy Award-winner The Shape of Water) is absolutely amazing, as is the set design, lighting, and miseen-scène. It’s just masterful filmmaking all around. It’s also filled with incredible performances. Cooper digs deep to conjure our cynical lead Stan Carlisle, an unscrupulous manipulator who’s dragging around enormous guilt. Set during the Great Depression, Stan is destitute but stumbles upon a traveling carnival and an opportunity for work. He’s soon learning the angles in this seedy, low-rent, roadside attraction. An opportunist to his core, he ingratiates himself to Zeena the Seer (Toni Collette) and her alcoholic mentalist partner Pete (David Strathairn), picking up their tricks on how to work an audience. When Stan thinks he’s ready to take his mentalist act to a classier clientele, he sweeps “electric woman” Molly (Rooney Mara) off her feet and they head to Chicago and begin working supper clubs, which is where he meets Lilith (Blanchette, who does her finest Veronica Lake impression physically and Hannibal Lector impression characteristically). She’s all menace. It’s just a matter of time until this femme fatale digs her claws into him. Anna This is definitely a visually beautiful film, and juxtaposed with the dark and seedy tale, it’s hard to look away from. Stan is a bit of a mystery. The opening scene lets us know he is anything but innocent, but to what end

hile the television series doesn’t seem to be quite the hit its podcast predecessor was, The Shrink Next Door manages to stay compelling (and infuriating) in this eight-part miniseries. Do audiences not want to see America’s sweetheart and People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive Paul Rudd play the part of a conniving shyster? My guess is no, but Rudd brings it in his portrayal of reallife psychiatrist Isaac “Ike” Herschkopf, who for more than 30 years took advantage of a bunch of patients. But the focus here is on his biggest get, Marty Markowitz. Will Ferrell stars as Marty and plays the part of a patsy well. He’s unassuming and sweet, just looking for some guidance after the death of his parents. Through his own brand of “therapizing,” Ike’s approach with his clients was friendship, whether real or manufactured, to gain their trust and then manipulate them into doing whatever it is he wanted. He is a fame chaser, filling endless frames with photos of himself and celebrities

and sports stars, throwing lavish parties and building a life that was a house of cards, lie after lie piling up on each other. I had listened to the Wondery podcast when it first came out and was familiar with the story, the conclusion, and the aftermath, but Rudd and Ferrell breathed new life into these characters I already thought I knew. The whole series is now on Apple TV, and if you’re a subscriber, it’s definitely bingeable. If you want to get even more in depth with the story after that, give the podcast a listen.

f you liked the tone and vibe of writerdirector Sofia Coppola’s 2006 film Marie Antoinette, you’ll dig this not-very-accurate “historical biography” of Catherine the Great (Elle Fanning), a Prussian princess married off to Peter III (Nicholas Hoult), the depraved and dangerous ruler of Russia, titled onscreen as The Great: An Occasionally True Story. “Occasionally” is right. Don’t watch for the history; watch for the entertainment! Created by Tony McNamara (The Favourite, Cruella), the series—now in its second season—examines the Russian royal court, its intrigues, debauchery, and machinations. Peter is a weak leader, more interested in bedding other men’s wives, drinking and eating, posturing as a great military mind, and fretting about living in the shadow of his forebear,
Peter the Great. He has to deal with his military, most notably the drunken General Velementov (Douglas Hodge), the conniving archbishop of the Russian Orthodox Church (Adam Godley), and his sycophantic “friends,” who more fear his power than respect him. It’s a blast watching Catherine gain confidence, and with her lover, Leo (Sebastian De Souza), gifted to her by Peter; her confidant and maid, Marial (Phoebe Fox); and sympathetic bureaucrat, Orlo (Sacha Dhawan), plot Peter’s overthrow with the hope of enlightening Russia and her people with art, science, and other progressive ideas. Funny and engaging—this one’s easy to binge. (20 approximately 50-min. episodes) Δ —Glen

When cultures collide Nate’s on Marsh dishes up Central Coast cuisine with ‘Italian soul’

athan Long is a San Luis Obispo native, while Libry Darusman was born in Indonesia and raised in Germany. Together, Long says they whip up contemporary American fare with “Italian soul” at Nate’s on Marsh, which replaces Gennaro’s Grill & Garden at 450 Marsh St. in SLO. Founder and owner Long debuted the eatery—as well as parent company NRL Food Group—in September. His first hire was executive chef Darusman, who “literally took my vision and perfected it through his recipes,” Long said. “I think it’s kismet that we found each other and awesome that we have this yinyang partnership,” he added. “Love the guy.” Darusman, most recently the chef at Thomas Hill Organics in Paso Robles, boasts a lengthy resume, including formal training at the Art Institute of California in Santa Ana, and experience at Los Angeles and Las Vegas establishments. “While in Los Angeles I catered the Oscars, the Emmys, multiple museum openings, and I even cooked for an American president,” he said. In Las Vegas he helped open Encore at Wynn, handling “400 to 500 covers a night cooking till almost 1 in the morning,” he said. For more than a decade he has refined

American and Italian cuisines. “I’m very passionate about making my own pasta, my own bread, my own cheeses, etc.,” he said. “My inspiration for menus definitely comes from the farm produce and proteins in the area … so our menus are very much driven and inspired by the seasons.” Darusman is also drawn to tradition. “My favorite dish to consume would have to be roasted pork shank with potato dumplings and braised red cabbage,” he said. “This is one of my earliest food memories. [My grandma] would roast pork shank all day slowly in the oven and make her own potato dumplings, and ferment and braise her own red cabbage. “The reason that’s special to me [is] because it’s a perfect blend of food and family.” At Nate’s, Darusman dishes up California-inspired classics such as Niman Ranch rib eye, free-range chicken, seafood, and vegetarian dishes, as well Italian specialties, including rigatoni Bolognese, and spaghetti pesto and pomodoro. One repeat customer, SLO resident Vicki Carroll, is partial to the cacio e pepe (cheese and pepper), featuring house-made chitarra pasta with buerre fondue and Parmigiano Reggiano. “The food is delicious,” said Carroll, adding that the beverage list isn’t too shabby either.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: A year from today, what do you want to be congratulating yourself for? Newsletter.freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may become a more audacious storyteller in 2022. You could ripen your ability to express the core truths about your life with entertaining narratives. Bonus: The experiences that come your way will provide raw material for you to become even more interesting than you already are. Now study these words by storyteller Ruth Sawyer: “To be a good storyteller, one must be gloriously alive. It is not possible to kindle fresh fires from burned-out embers. The best of the traditional storytellers are those who live close to the heart of things—to the earth, sea, wind, and weather. They have known solitude, silence. They have been given unbroken time in which to feel deeply, to reach constantly for understanding.”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus author May Sarton wrote a poem celebrating her maturation into the person she had always dreamed she would be. “Now I become myself,” she exulted. “It’s taken time, many years and places; I have been dissolved and shaken, have worn other people’s faces.” But at last, she said, “All fuses together now, falls into place from wish to action, word to silence. My work, my love, my time, my face: gathered into one intense gesture of growing like a plant.” I invite you to adopt Sarton’s poem as a primary source of inspiration in 2022. Make it your guide as you, too, become fully and richly yourself.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 2012, the writer Gore Vidal died the day after Gemini writer Maeve Binchy passed away. They were both famous, though Bincy sold more books than Vidal. Vidal was interesting but problematic for me. He was fond of saying that it wasn’t enough for him to succeed; he wanted others to fail. The misery of his fellow humans intensified his satisfaction about his own accomplishments. On the other hand, Binchy had a generous wish that everyone would be a success. She felt her magnificence was magnified by others’ magnificence. In 2022, it will be vital for your physical and mental health to cultivate Binchy’s perspective, not Vidal’s. To the degree that you celebrate and enhance the fortunes of others, your own fortunes will thrive.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian political leader Nelson Mandela was wrongly incarcerated for 27 years. After his release, he became president of South Africa and won the Nobel Peace Prize. About leaving jail in 1990, he wrote, “As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison.” Although you haven’t suffered deprivation anywhere close to what Mandela did, I’m happy to report that 2022 will bring you liberations from limiting situations. Please adopt Mandela’s approach as you make creative use of your new freedom.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): French poet André Breton wrote, “Je vous souhaite d’être follement aimée.” In English, those words can be rendered as “My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness,” or “I wish you to be loved madly.” That’s got a romantic ring to it, but it’s actually a curse. Why would we want to be loved to the point of madness? A person who “loved” you like that might be fun for a while, but would ultimately become a terrible inconvenience and ongoing disruption. So, dear Leo, I won’t wish that you will be loved to the point of madness in 2022—even though I think the coming months will be an interesting and educational time for amour. Instead, I will wish you something more manageable and enjoyable: that you will be loved with respect, sensitivity, care, and intelligence.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Many people in our culture are smart intellectually, but not very smart emotionally. The wisdom of feelings is undervalued. I protest! One of my great crusades is to champion this neglected source of insight. I am counting on you to be my ally in 2022. Why? Because according to my reading of the astrological omens, you have the potential to
ripen your emotional intelligence in the coming months. Do you have ideas about how to take full advantage of this lucky opportunity? Here’s a tip: Whenever you have a decision to make, tune in to what your body and heart tell you as well as to what your mind advises.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl said that a sense of meaning is crucial. It’s the key gratification that sustains people through the years: the feeling that their life has a meaning and that particular experiences have meaning. I suggest you make this your theme for 2022. The question “Are you happy?” will be a subset of the more inclusive question, “Are you pursuing a destiny that feels meaningful to you?” Here’s the other big question: “If what you’re doing doesn’t feel meaningful, what are you going to do about it?”
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio guitarist Rowland S. Howard spoke of “the grand occasions when love really does turn into something far greater than you had ever dreamed of, something auto-luminescent.” Judging from the astrological configurations in 2022, I have strong hopes and expectations that you will experience prolonged periods when love will fit that description. For best results, resolve to become more generous and ingenious in expressing love than you have ever been.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I’ve been trying to go home my whole life,” writes poet Chelsea Dingman. I know some of you Sagittarians resist the urge to do that. It’s possible you avoid seeking a true and complete home. You may think of the whole world as your home, or you may regard a lot of different places as your homes. And you’d prefer not to narrow down the feeling and concept of “home” to one location or building or community. Whether or not you are one of those kinds of Centaurs, I suspect that 2022 will bring you unexpected new understandings of home—and maybe even give you the sense that you have finally arrived in your ultimate sanctuary.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): To ensure that 2022 will bring you the most interesting and useful kind of progress, take good care of your key friendships and alliances, even as you seek out excellent new friendships and alliances. For best results, heed these thoughts from author Hanya Yanagihara: “Find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then appreciate them for what they can teach you, and listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sometime during the Northern Song Dynasty that ruled China from 960 to 1127, an artisan made a white ceramic bowl 5 inches in diameter. About a thousand years later, a family in New York bought it at a garage sale for $3. It sat on a mantel in their home for a few years until they got a hunch to have it evaluated by an art collector. A short time later, the bowl was sold at an auction for $2.2 million. I’m not saying that 2022 will bring a financial event as dramatic as that one. But I do expect that your luck with money will be at a peak.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the Quechuan language spoken in parts of Peru, the word takanakuy means “when the blood is boiling.” Every year at this time, the community of Chumbivilcas stages a holiday called Takanakuy. People gather at the town center to fight each other, settling their differences so they can forget about them and start over fresh. If my friend and I have had a personal conflict during the previous year, we would punch and kick each other—but not too hard—until we had purged our spite and resentment. The slate between us would be clean. Is there some humorous version of this ritual you could enact that wouldn’t involve even mild punching and kicking? I recommend you dream one up! ∆
