Editor’s note

T

he problem with LuLaRoe, according to documentaries like 2021’s LuLaRich, is that it operated like a textbook pyramid scheme, with a tiered system of sellers who made revenue based on what the people below them purchased—not what those people PRINTS AND PAYMENT sold. Other issues, such as leggings LuLaRoe markets with holes in them, also plagued its clothing to potential sellers the company, but not everyone had as an opportunity a bad experience selling LuLaRoe to support their products. Staff Writer Malea Martin family on their terms, “creating speaks to a couple of local women freedom through fashion.” about their experience [9].

SLO city still negotiating election models after Voting Rights Act notice

M

PHOTO BY PETER JOHNSON

ore than two years after being told its election model violates the California Voting Rights Act, the city of San Luis Obispo continues to push back against the allegation—which has caused dozens of cities across the state, including three in SLO County, to adopt by-district election models for their city councils in recent years.

In the latest development, SLO officials said they recently agreed on another time extension with Santa Barbara-based attorney Robert Goodman to stave off a Voting Rights Act lawsuit—through May 10.

“We’ve entered into a series of extensions on the demand,” SLO City Attorney Christine Dietrick told New Times. “We’ve been largely awaiting some additional data we have not yet received. … Our analysis of the data and the facts about the composition of our community don’t support that the district remedy is a tool well-fitted to advancing our community’s goals.”

SLO first received a “notice of violation” regarding its election model in November 2019.

In the notice, Goodman, representing city resident Jamie Gomez, claimed that SLO’s atlarge election system “impairs the ability of protected classes to elect candidates of their choice and their ability to influence the outcome of elections.”

The notice mirrored many others that have been sent out to cities with at-large election models across the state.

“District elections are sweeping California,” Goodman’s letter read. “As far as this office is aware, no government agency in California has successfully defended a complaint alleging violation of the California Voting Rights Act.” Facing costly lawsuits, with a low chance of success in court, other cities, including Arroyo Grande, Paso Robles, and Grover Beach, capitulated to the threat—and are now in the final stages of adopting new district maps for their councils ahead of the 2022 elections.

But SLO city hasn’t budged. Dietrick explained that city leaders don’t think that bydistrict elections in SLO could meaningfully improve minority representation or influence on the City Council.

“We’ve looked at the most recent census data and reevaluated whether or not in light of that census data and the demographics in our community, it’s possible to even construct a district that’s minority-majority or minority influenced,” Dietrick said. “Our conclusion is that it’s not possible to do that.

“We’re fully supportive of the objective of advancing equity,” she added.

“It’s just a question of, is this the right tool to advance those objectives in the context of the facts on the STANDING FIRM The city of San Luis Obispo is pushing back against ground here.” allegations that the City Council’s at-large elections violate the state’s Goodman could not Voting Rights Act. be reached before press time, but in his 2019 and a neighborhood association, which sued the violation notice, he argued that splitting the city to enact a by-district election model. city into geographic districts is a proven remedy “[Santa Monica’s] demographics and the nature to achieving more diverse representation. He of the arguments they’re making are potentially asserted that while close to 30 percent of SLO’s very relevant,” Dietrick said. “We’re hopeful the population is non-white, only 10.7 percent Supreme Court will issue that guidance.” of candidates for City Council since 2000 And as to why SLO is taking a different tack have come from a protected class—and those than other cities in SLO County when facing candidates received only 9.3 percent of votes. litigation under the Voting Rights Act, Dietrick “District elections bring government closer to said it boils down to dollars and cents. the people,” Goodman wrote. “There is a wider “I think what happens with a lot of cities is they spectrum of views on the City Council and more look at the defense numbers for cities who fought representation from all neighborhoods and the it, and it ranges from the hundreds of thousands entire community. District elections lead to to tens of millions [of dollars], and that’s pretty greater neighborhood identity and have been daunting,” Dietrick said. “I think the inclination is accompanied by greater diversity of all sorts on often to avail yourself of the safe harbor. elective bodies.”

“It’s not how we like to spend money,” she added.

Arroyo Grande to decide on four district maps

relied on the estimated data available before the census was finalized.

“For those that submitted their maps through email, and for those who did provide their contact information, we did contact each one and let them know we had updated tools [using official data],” City Clerk Jessica Matson explained at the meeting. “Some people did take advantage of those and submitted their revisions.”

Grover Beach was also impacted by the late census and had to throw out draft district map hopefuls due to their reliance on estimated data.

Both cities are moving from at-large election systems to a district-based ones due to lawsuit threats.

In October 2019, attorney Robert Goodman accused Arroyo Grande of violating the California Voting Rights Act on behalf of his client Maria Minicucci. Minicucci alleged that

Arroyo Grande selected four finalist maps out of 159 contenders, one of which will become the blueprint for fresh district lines in April.

The Feb. 22 City Council meeting marked the first of three deliberations to select and revise maps submitted by the public and the consulting National Demographics Corporation (NDC).

Council members chose maps 902, and three modified versions of maps 202, 902, and 903 for consideration at the next meeting scheduled for March 8.

While landing on a final map will be a relatively long process, the late arrival of official census data fast-tracked the need to sift through almost 160 draft district maps.

Ultimately, only 39 of the maps submitted for consideration were compliant because they were plotted using official data, while the others had

Arroyo Grande’s at-large system created racially polarized voting. Within weeks, the city settled an agreement with her, and declared its intent to switch to a district-based system by Nov. 8, 2022.

Three of Arroyo Grande’s final maps belong to the 900 series, which comes from NDC. The consulting company relied on publicly submitted maps as a reference for drawing district lines based on community preferences. Plan 202 is part of a set of six maps that were drawn using a mapping tool called DistrictR. Matson told New Times that compliant maps balance the population roughly equally across all districts, respect the federal Voting Rights Act, don’t racially gerrymander, have easily identifiable boundaries, and don’t divide socioeconomic regions or neighborhoods that have been historically marginalized.

“The main theme for modifying Plans 202, 902, and 903 was to keep the [Arroyo Grande] Village unified by adjusting lines to include streets with the Village ‘neighborhood,’” Matson said.

Though the Arroyo Grande residents missed out on fully contributing to district maps because of the census data holdup, Matson explained that they could still get involved in other ways, including at the upcoming meetings on March 8 and 22, and at the ordinance hearing on April 12 when the final map would be adopted.

“The four maps the council selected to be considered at the next hearing will be up on the city’s districting web page in the coming days at arroyogrande.org/ districtelections.

In defiance of state law, Paso students no longer have to wear masks

On the evening of Feb. 22, Paso Robles school board members, district staff, parents, and students crowded into the district’s board room for a meeting that would quickly turn contentious.

“We have a couple of topics this evening that might get a little bit emotional,” Board President Chris Arend said as he started the meeting. “Try and keep the feelings a little bit under control.”

One parent held up a sign that read, “Free Kids Faces.” As public comment began, the crowd of parents and students booed and cheered as people got up to the podium to speak.

The board was considering a resolution to make mask wearing optional, a defiance of current California state mandates which are expected to be revised on Feb. 28. While the state mask mandate was lifted Feb. 16 for most indoor settings, it remains in place for schools.

Based on public comment and about 100 students who wrote into the board, the community was evenly split on the issue. The board ultimately voted 5-2 to pass the resolution, despite staff recommendations to maintain alignment with the California Department of Public Health’s mandates for masks in school settings.

“Although we understand the disdain

for masks and a desperate need to get back to normal, the staff has come to the recommendation for the protection of the district, its fiscal responsibility, and the safety of our students and staff,” said Deputy Superintendent Jen Gaviola at the meeting.

Gaviola said the district’s insurance company also recommended that it continue to abide by California’s public health mandates.

“If we deviate as a district from this guidance, it would put the liability of coverage afforded to this district in jeopardy,” she said.

But some board members said they were willing to take that risk.

“Frankly, I think that the risk is relatively small because to prove the facts that would lead to an adjudication against us is almost impossible,” Arend said. “How is somebody going to prove that little Johnny got COVID from school and not from going with his mother to the supermarket or going anywhere else?

This virus and omicron is all around us.”

Trustee Nathan Williams supported staying in compliance with state mandates.

“My choice tonight is to stay the course.

It is a difficult decision for me,” he said. “I think it is despicable the position that [the state has] put us in. It is not fair that we on the local level are having to make that choice.”

Associated Student Body President Malia Gaviola said the student senate voted on the issue to give additional student feedback to the board.

“Forty-two percent voted to get rid of masks, 52 percent wish that the board would wait for the state to come out with the new status quo, and finally 6 percent voted to keep the masks on regardless,” she said. “I would urge the board to either halt the mask discussion until after the state comes out with the new mandate, or to have whatever new resolution that may pass tonight go into action after the 28th as well.”

Despite staff, student body, and insurance provider recommendations, the board voted to pass the resolution and ended the mask mandate for Paso students. Those gathered in the board room erupted in applause when the resolution passed. Trustees Williams and Tim Gearhart were the two dissenting votes.

“This is extremely tough,” Williams said before he cast his no vote. “My choice tonight is not that I’m for masks to stay, but just how we get there.”

San Luis Obispo County’s regional waste agency is poised to more than double the fee it charges local garbage haulers—a move its leaders say is necessary to meet California’s new organic waste requirements, but one that will likely drive up local garbage bills.

The increase, tentatively approved by the Integrated Waste Management Authority’s (IWMA) board of directors on Feb. 9, raises the hauler fee in the county’s seven cities and various unincorporated communities from 2 percent to 5.4 percent of gross receipts.

According to a budget analysis released last month, the IWMA is headed for a $1.45 million deficit in the current fiscal year—and worse in the future—if it doesn’t raise the fee soon.

“Expenditures are projected to exceed available funds by the first quarter of fiscal year 2022-23 if the IWMA does not significantly increase its revenue … or significantly lower expenditures,” the report by HF&H Consultants concluded.

IWMA costs are rising due to Senate Bill 1383, a state law that places new mandates on cities and counties for organic waste diversion, including collection, education, and monitoring.

Revenues are also slightly down compared to past years thanks to the SLO County Board of Supervisors’ withdrawal from the agency in 2021.

“As I went through the details, the question in my mind is, am I seeing anything that might grossly overexaggerate estimates?” IWMA Interim Executive Director Paavo Ogren said at the Feb. 9 meeting. “I wasn’t anticipating I’d see anything, … that still holds true today.”

The IWMA board of directors unanimously approved the fee hike, which will be finalized at its March 9 meeting.

Ogren explained that the tentative vote was designed to give local garbage companies a heads up—so “the haulers know what percentage to incorporate into rate applications.”

John Hamon, a Paso Robles City Council member, expressed concerns about the IWMA relying on gross receipt fees—since Paso’s hauler contract includes non-trash related services, like street sweeping and parks maintenance, he said.

“I don’t really feel like the IWMA should be making any percentage on our street sweeping and park services, and

other things that they do,” Hamon said.

“There’s a lot of extra fat there that the IWMA would be benefiting from.”

Hamon ultimately supported the new fee after Ogren said the agency could take a look at revising it in the future to better isolate trash-related receipts. Ogren also said the IWMA may end up reducing the 5.4 percent rate.

“I’m cautiously optimistic that, over time, that number will be able to go down,” Ogren said.

While IWMA leaders spent much of the past year anxious about how the Board of Supervisors’ withdrawal would impact the agency’s budget, the recent fiscal analysis showed a less dramatic effect.

According to the HF&H report, the IWMA lost about 6 percent of its garbage accounts after the county’s exit. But the county continues to reimburse the IWMA for its hazardous waste programs— cushioning the hit.

Court order temporarily restrains dunes dust control measures

In a long-running legal conflict spanning years, off-road vehicle advocates secured a small victory against the state regarding dust mitigation at the Oceano Dunes.

On Feb. 17, the San Luis Obispo Superior Court filed a temporary restraining order in favor of Friends of Oceano Dunes against the California Coastal Commission and the California Department of Parks and Recreation.

The move blocked the state agencies from roping off an additional 130.8 acres of the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreational Area to install dust reduction measures.

“Friends argues that the commission and parks neglected to obtain county approval for the new dust control, as the Coastal Act requires,” Friends President Jim Suty stated in a press release.

According to the court filing, 108.8 acres of the 130.8 acres is inside the current off-highway vehicle riding and camping area, and the remaining 22 acres lie outside it. The Coastal Commission and State Parks are momentarily not allowed to plant vegetation of any kind in those areas or install perimeter fencing there to limit it from public recreational use. The temporary restraining order NEWS continued page 7

also bans them from placing seasonal sand fencing in three areas near the West Grand Avenue and Pier Avenue entrances, and near Strand Way. The restraining order expires on March 30, which is also when the Coastal Commission and State Parks have to show the Superior Court “cause” as to why a preliminary injunction banning the new dust control measures should not be issued while the case is still in litigation.

But Suty and Friends want more than a restraining order.

“Friends also strongly believes that the stipulated order of abatement must be thrown out based on new evidence from the Scripps Institute showing only 14 percent of PM [particulate matter] 10 being measured downwind consists of mineral dust. The particulates are mainly atmospheric water, salt and other non-volatiles,” the Friends’ press release stated. “All the elements measured downwind are natural organic material not known to cause any health effects. The Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreational Area should only be responsible for reducing the OHV contribution and not all total mass particulates.”

Approved by the Air Pollution Control District (APCD) hearing board in April 2018, the stipulated order of abatement lists specific actions to alleviate dust emissions in the Nipomo Mesa over a five-year period. These include forming a scientific advisory group and developing a particulate matter reduction plan.

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography released a study late last year stating that particulate matter blown in from the Oceano Dunes made up only 14 percent of the average pollution measured on the mesa, a finding that contradicts the APCD’s stance. The APCD attributed heavy pollution to dust emissions from the dunes, and had, in the past, questioned the accuracy of an earlier Scripps study.

State Parks declined to comment on the case still underway in SLO Superior Court, but told New Times that it would hear out all sides.

“All research is being considered as State Parks works to meet the obligations set by the stipulated order of abatement.

The research is important and will help State Parks better understand the science of dust at Oceano Dunes SVRA,” State Parks public information officer Adeline Yee said.

Noises coming from proposed energy facility site frustrate neighbors Just off Highway 1, halfway between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay, Linda Mahnken lives on Canet Road. Nestled near the base of Hollister Peak, Mahnken raises farm animals on her property.

DEAR DIARY TransitionsMental Health Association volunteer Michael Arcuri compiled narratives of homeless people in San Luis Obispo County, one of whom showed him their journals, which helped them mentally survive.

A narrative-based survey of SLO County’s homeless residents calls on the public to listen to the individual needs of the unsheltered

W

hile San Luis Obispo County waits to conduct its delayed Point-In-Time (PIT) Count of sheltered and unsheltered residents experiencing homelessness, a local volunteer conducted his own survey to identify the needs of the unhoused.

But unlike the PIT count, Michael Arcuri’s data highlights the individual voices of SLO County’s homeless population.

A volunteer at Transitions-Mental Health Association (TMHA), Arcuri worked as a psychiatrist until he retired. Last year he documented the personal stories of a handful of SLO County’s homeless residents to better understand their needs in a project called “In our own words” as part of a master’s degree in narrative therapy and community work from the University of Melbourne. He said his narrative data set de-centers the person doing the work and encourages the voices of those who are sharing their stories.

“We tend to get stuck in the problems, and we don’t tend to focus on what people’s hopes and dreams are, and how we can help them re-engage with those in a way that gives their life meaning going forward,” Arcuri said. “That’s why I started to study this and decided to work with a group of people who are so marginalized in our consciousness and in our media. There’s hardly anyone who’s more stigmatized than people living on the street right now.”

Arcuri interviewed 26 people who were homeless at the time or had once experienced it. He met them through TMHA, the Saturday mobile showers organized by Hope’s Village at the United Church of Christ, and by approaching people seeking shelter at a campground near Prado Road.

The interviews detailed reasons why many of them became homeless, ranging from child abuse to experiencing mental health challenges as successful adults. It also included accounts of the barriers they faced while trying to get re-housed.

“Agencies had power over us; we were not believed. We were not treated with

respect by agency workers. During COVID you can’t just walk into an agency if you’re nearby. We couldn’t stand telling our story over and over again and filling out form after form at every different agency,” one interviewee stated.

“Many of us were unable to keep in touch with agencies; unable to charge cellphones, no mailing addresses, police kept busting up our camps, no stable location for us to be found at. One of us lost Social Security disability benefits,” another said.

Arcuri said he wants programs like safe parking sites to include cellphone charging stations. He told New Times he was unable to follow up with some of the study participants who were still unhoused because there was no feasible way to contact them even after returning to the location where they initially met.

One of Arcuri’s responders is 72-year-old Jake Mcgee. Mcgee was homeless for the majority of his life, until TMHA helped him and his late wife find housing seven years ago. Now, he lives in an apartment in Atascadero and has weekly errand appointments with a social worker. But housing wasn’t always what Mcgee wanted.

“There are people that don’t want to be inside. When I was younger, the idea of being in an apartment just made me almost physically ill. I’m grateful now I have an apartment,” Mcgee said. “Now, I’ve been outside enough. … I’ve been camping almost all my life.”

Mcgee added that most times, homelessness is about survival—a comment that appeared frequently in Arcuri’s survey. Arcuri said that for some it’s a conscious choice to live outside and save money from low-paying jobs that would have otherwise gone to paying high rent in an area like SLO County, which has few low-rent housing options. He hopes that safe parking programs, which agencies such as Community Action Partnership of SLO treat as temporary solutions, can permanently host some homeless people.

“The parking sites are supposed to

The Refinery29 documentary follows three women who POSITIVE EXPERIENCE SLO Local Genevieve Balicki said she enjoyed her time selling with LuLaRoe, despite some moved up the LuLaRoe of the controversy that has swirled around the company. ranks, at one time making tens of Jennifer Nice-Sloan, a Nipomo thousands of dollars in resident, became a LuLaRoe consultant bonuses a month.

hen Genevieve Balicki first moved to San Luis Obispo, she was a stay-at-home mom caring for her two young kids while her husband worked full time.

“We’d been here for a couple of years, and I just happened to be at a party for a friend, and this woman had on super soft leggings,” Balicki remembers. “They were really bright colored, and she was like, ‘You need to feel these.’”

Her friend told her the leggings were from a company called LuLaRoe. People can join and become “consultants,” as the company calls them, and then sell merchandise from their homes—it sounded like the perfect gig for a stay-athome mom.

“Then I just happened to see an advertisement for a [LuLaRoe] house party in Morro Bay,” Balicki said. “I went and I bought a couple pairs of leggings, and I bought a maxi skirt.”

While she was there, another consultant encouraged Balicki to try selling.

“She was also a stay-at-home mom, and her husband worked, and she was doing it from her house,” Balicki said.

In early 2015, she decided to take the leap and buy her first box of LuLaRoe clothes to begin selling.

“I honestly got into it because I really loved wearing the clothes and they made me feel really good,” Balicki said. “I liked the way they looked on my body, I liked how soft and comfortable they were. I felt like I could still look cute and run after my kids.”

For Balicki and thousands of other women, LuLaRoe was an opportunity to stay at home with the kids while helping to support their families—to “create freedom from fashion,” as LuLaRoe’s website puts it. What distinguishes LuLaRoe from other fashion brands is that you can only buy the company’s clothes from consultants.

Balicki sold for about two years.

Through the experience, she made friends who she’s still close with today, and she continued to wear the clothes even after she stopped selling.

But as the 2021 documentary LuLaRich reveals, others didn’t have such a positive experience. What started as a way for moms to sell clothes, make money, and build a community, turned into what some call a textbook pyramid scheme.

As consultants recruited more sellers to join LuLaRoe, they could move up into higher tiers and titles: first a trainer, then a coach, and finally a mentor. The higher up you got, the more money you’d make in commissions off your recruits—but not based on the items they sold. Rather, the bonuses were based on the amount of inventory your recruits purchased from LuLaRoe. “A multi-level marketing company can recruit people and be a legitimate business,” Refinery29 explains in its mini-documentary, Inside LulaRoe: Why

Can we keep it?

Classical conservatism and lasting liberalism

M

uch has been written here about political concepts of conservatism and liberalism without defining these terms in everyday language.

Perhaps this is because these words have changed meaning rapidly in modern society. Most of us have heard the lament: “I was a blue-collar liberal growing up— and I haven’t changed—so why do I now find myself a conservative?”

One would hope the reverse were also true, that the once youthful conservatives would find themselves liberals today, but alas, they now often find themselves lumped into the extreme right. Hoping to revive, at least partially, the original meanings of liberalism—as openness to innovation, or lasting liberalism— and conservatism—as commitment to tradition, or classical conservatism—I offer here a relatively simple test for membership in either group.

The test consists in honestly answering the following three questions (yes, this

and innovative) and that the classical conservatives would stay put (since they are most comfortable with what is traditional and stable). It’s axiomatic that an engaging book, exciting movie, or any enticing story—like life itself—always has a diverse mix of interesting lasting liberal and classic conservative characters.

Well, there you have it. Simply put, our temperament and biology determine our political inclinations. What’s to get angry about if you realize that your opponent is—primarily by nature—conditioned to respond to you in a certain way? Our nation’s founders were an interesting mix of lasting liberals and classical conservatives. Their common goal was freedom, and they produced a unique federalism—the dual sovereignty of state and nation inherent in our Constitution.

When Ben Franklin was asked what those writing the Constitution had created, he said: “A Republic, if you can keep it.”

I threw in the third question as an example of how people in each group would choose as players in the Squid Games. is a type of quiz): 1. Do you feel inherent revulsion at being shown photos involving severe violence? 2. Do you refuse to eat broccoli or even accept it on your plate? 3.

Would you refuse to return to the Squid Games as a participant in the second episode after escaping the “Red Light, Green Light” death-by-doll game in the first episode?

If you answered “yes” to question 1, you are inclined toward classical conservatism (as statistically determined by psychological studies). Moreover, those answering “yes” to question 1 tend also to answer “yes” to question 2 about their aversion to broccoli. These individuals have, on average, a lot more taste receptors on the tongue than those answering “no” to question 2 and are more sensitive to and less tolerant of broccoli’s bitter taste.

Therefore, if you answered “yes” to both questions 1 and 2, research studies indicate you are definitely inclined toward classical conservatism. (Note: This is a statistical tendency and not an absolute result.) Similarly, those leaning toward lasting liberalism tend to answer “no” to both questions. If your answers were mixed, stick with your answer to question 1 as dominant.

I threw in the third question as an example of how people in each group would choose as players in the Squid Games. There are no studies on this, but it seems likely that only lasting liberals would return (since they crave the new

Letters A big impact

Thank you for the Feb. 3 article on the Clean Air Room pilot program (“Low income South County households could get free air purifiers”). Concerned Citizens for Clean Air has been advocating for the Air Pollution Control District (APCD) to address the unhealthy levels of particulate matter coming from the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area for more than 10 years.

APCD board member and Arroyo Grande City Councilmember Jimmy Paulding is to be commended for taking the initiative to help the most vulnerable populations in Oceano and areas of the Nipomo Mesa.

Mitigation in the form of vegetation and wind fences has been slowly bringing

down the levels of PM 10 and PM 2.5 at the air monitor downwind of the recreation area. However, the number of times the air exceeds state-designated levels is still four or five times higher than background emission levels should be at the Oso Flaco monitor. Much more needs to be done. In March there will be an APCD hearing board meeting to review the stipulated order of abatement, an order specifying the methods and goals for air pollution abatement. Concerned Citizens for Clean Air will be vigorously advocating for the amount of mitigation needed to achieve the background level of emissions.

We urge all citizens to tune in to the hearing board meeting and support the health and well-being of your neighbors as Councilmember Jimmy Paulding did.

Small changes can have a big impact.

fuel to fill the gaps left by a frequently reduced availability of wind and solar.

Closing Diablo Canyon will remove the largest supply of clean, affordable, reliable energy in California. As there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, there’s no such thing as 100 percent renewable energy to uphold the demands for sustainable electricity. Backing up renewable energy batteries and the growing movement for electric vehicles each will require recharging, which simply compounds the question of where will all this power come from?

The rest of the story

Believers in solar power, like the author of “Big energy fights solar” (Feb. 10), seem to consistently overlook an important detail: The sun only shines part of the time. According to California Energy Commission data, for 2019 and 2020, the total contribution of all renewables MUSIC (mostly solar) to the total power demand No pot of gold was stalled at around 23 percent, despite Why is it so important to save Diablo the continuedFLAVOR/EATS expansion of solar capacity, Canyon Power Plant from closing, from a steep decline in competing large hydro losing vital energy to sustain a reliable a deliberate reduction electrical grid and avoid power shortages? production, and INFO in nuclear production.

buildings, and more than a million homes cited as powered directly by the sun … are only powered by solar and other renewables less than one quarter of the time. The rest of the power has to come from somewhere else. In California, it is mostly natural gas, some large hydro, and Diablo Canyon Power Plant, and when it closes, most of its production will be replaced by natural gas.

For this reason, big energy loves solar power, because it is part-time and inefficient, leaving natural gas not only with a huge share of the energy market, but they get to make even more money by providing backup power for intermittent and often unreliable renewables. This, of course, requires a lot of fracking.

And now, you have the rest of the story.

Mark Henry San Luis Obispo

The county needs to join 3CE The majority of the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors should not be looking for ways to keep Diablo Canyon Power Plant operating beyond the decommissioning dates that are set in the joint proposal of 2016. PG&E has stated that challenging policies and market conditions led to its decision to close the plant in August of 2025.

The energy produced by Diablo Canyon Power Plant is above market pricing, and PG&E has applied to the California Public Utilities Commission for permission to again raise its rates for customers.

With more renewables coming online, there is a declining need for energy from Diablo.

Every city in SLO County has decided to make Central Coast Community Energy (3CE) available as the energy supplier to its residents. But this same majority on the Board of Supervisors refuses to do the same for unincorporated areas.

This is backward thinking. The board should make 3CE available to all residents in the county. Anyone preferring to remain a PG&E customer can opt out of the cleaner option offered by 3CE. Marty Brown Atascadero

The Shredder

Conservative capers

motions are apparently a big no-no in Paso Robles.

At least at the school district level, where Paso Robles Joint Union School District board trustee/President Chris “Stone Cold” Arend has made it very clear that being emotional is passé.

Decisions on the school board have to be “ice cold and without emotion,” Arend said in late 2021 about a potential school board candidate, who he believed was “kind of flowery, a bit emotional, in her answering the questions” put to her by the board.

Stone Cold Arend was at it again on Feb. 22 before a cattle herd-sized crowd of people waiting to speak on the most controversial topic of the day: masking!

“We have a couple of topics this evening that might get a little bit emotional,” Arend said at the start of the meeting.

“Try and keep the feelings a little bit under control.”

As public comment started, it became immediately apparent that no one was going to be controlling anything. I’m assuming the first speaker didn’t understand the point of a microphone, because she was screaming her thoughts to the school board. Some school board members might be hard of hearing, you know? She just wanted to make sure they HEARD her.

“Free Kids Faces,” one sign read. Parents booed. Parents cheered. Parents yelled.

Parents got emotional. The microphone accumulated unmasked saliva.

It was an event! Like many of this past year’s Paso school board meetings.

School district staff recommended that the school board stay in line with California’s masking rules—that students continue to wear masks—because it’s the responsible thing to do. But also because it’s the insurable thing to do. As in, if the district declines to follow California Department of Public Health guidelines, the company that insures the district can pull its coverage over COVID-19-related issues.

“For the protection of the district, its fiscal responsibility, and the safety of our students and staff,” Deputy Superintendent Jen Gaviola said.

Insurance, schminsurance! The risk is tiny, Arend said, without a trace of emotion.

“How is somebody going to prove that little Johny got COVID from school and not from going with his mother to the supermarket or going anywhere else? This virus and omicron is all around us,” Arend said.

It’s called contact tracing. Have you heard of it?

Maybe that’s too flowery of a process for Arend to lend credence to, though. Science is so emotional, amirite?

Pleas from district staff and the warning from the insurance provider meant nothing to the icy decision-making abilities of board members, who voted to give students their freedom!

Board member Dorian Baker was elated in her effusive praise of America hard

protecting their students rights to a free and at work, freeing children from abuse (no, not equal education,” according to an email she actual abuse, just masking)! sent after the Feb. 22 vote.

I’ve written about Paso, and Arend win the the battles,” the release said. in particular, so much over the last year Stevo has been emailing his “releases” that I’m thinking about publishing Paso to New Times for a couple of weeks now, gossip column: “Conservative capers.” pointing out that Paso teachers are grading Speaking of conservative capers, the students on whether they mask or not.

PHOTO COURTESY OF INTERNATIONAL GUITAR NIGHT

AROUND THE WORLD International Guitar Night— featuring (clockwise from top left) Lulo Reinhardt, Luca Stricagnoli, Jim “Kimo” West, and Thu Le— comes to the Harold Miossi Hall of the Performing Arts Center on March 1.

Singer-songwriter Richard Thompson plays an intimate solo acoustic show at the Fremont

R

ichard Thompson is a songwriter’s songwriter. With a career spanning 5 1/2 decades, it’s nigh impossible to pick his best songs.

The founder of Fairport Convention, Thompson went on to a solo career before forming a duo with his then wife Linda Thompson. Their 1982 album Shoot Out the Lights is surely their masterpiece, yielding songs such as the title track and “Wall of Death.”

After their marriage and duo dissolved, Thompson revived his solo career and wrote stellar tracks like “Dad’s Gonna Kill Me,” off his 2007 album Sweet Warrior, which is about a war in Baghdad.

Then there’s “I Feel So Good” off of Rumor and Sigh (1991), and its cheerfully dark lyric “I feel so good, I’m going to break somebody’s heart tonight.” That album also featured audience favorite “1952 Vincent Black Lightening.”

On Hand of Kindness (1983), his first solo album after his breakup with his wife, he penned “Tear-Stained Letter,” an ironically exuberant zydeco rocker.

Then there’s “Turing of the Tide” on Amnesia (1988), and its driving rockabilly groove.

With a catalog so deep, who knows what he’ll have in store when he plays solo acoustic at the Fremont Theater on Sunday, Feb. 27 (8 p.m.; all ages; $46 plus fees presale at eventbrite.com). A recent set list included “Genesis Hall,” a Fairport Convention song; “If I Could Live My Life Again”; and “Beeswing” during the encore—20 songs in total. Presented by (((folkYEAH!))), this should be a terrific night from a 72-year-old whose songwriting is just as sharp, emotive, and surprising as ever.

AFTER FAIRPORT Singer-songwriter Richard Thompson plays a (((folkYEAH!))) show at the Fremont Theater on Feb. 27, performing an intimate solo acoustic show.

Blues and beyond

SLO Brew Rock presents Eric Krasno and Son Little backed by The Assembly on Thursday, March 3 (7 p.m.; 18-and-older; $25 plus fees presale at ticketweb.com).

Talk about a winning combination!

Kranso is a two-time Grammy-winning guitarist and producer known for his work with Soulive, Lettuce, and the Tedeschi Trucks Band—a multiinstrumentalist and straight-up soul man. Little (née Aaron Earl Livingston) is a Philly born and bred preacher’s son and R&B master. Two powerhouse musicians backed by the sweet sounds of The Assembly? Oh, hell yes.

Also, this week at SLO Brew Rock, join the SLO Vibes Trio for some bebop, blues, and Latin jazz favorites outside on Saturday, Feb. 24 (2 to 5 p.m.; all ages; free).

Guitar-o-rama and the Cal Poly blitz

If you want a taste of guitar music from around the globe, check out International Guitar Night presented

by Cal Poly Arts in the Harold Miossi Hall of the Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, March 1 (7:30 p.m.; $19.44 to $44 at calpolyarts.org). It brings together four of the world’s most interesting and innovative acoustic guitarists for an

SLO Jewish Festival of Learning features panel with author, podcaster Mark Oppenheimer

Author, journalist, and podcaster Mark Oppenheimer will discuss his book, Squirrel Hill: The Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting and the Soul of a Neighborhood, as part of the San Luis Obispo Jewish Festival of Learning.

Oppenheimer is the three-day event’s keynote speaker, and will present his talk on the first evening of the festival, Thursday, Feb. 24. Additional festival programming will occur through Saturday, Feb. 26.

Rabbi Micah Hyman, executive director of Hillel of San Luis Obispo, described one of the lessons found in Squirrel Hill as “a call to respond and reflect on all subsequent acts of hate, like the one we experienced here,” he explained in a press release, referring to the antisemitic vandalism at Cal Poly in February 2021.

“Mark’s gentle genius is in the kaleidoscopic view of Squirrel Hill, how a community reflected values far beyond Pittsburgh,” Hyman said. “His analysis reflects a response that is both local and global in reach.”

In addition to Squirrel Hill, Oppenheimer’s other publications include Knocking on Heaven’s Door: American Religion in the Age of Counterculture and The Newish Jewish Encyclopedia.

He’s also known for his work on the New York Times’ Beliefs column, which he wrote between 2010 to 2016.

Meta art Visual artist Faig Ahmed mixes traditional Persian carpet design with contemporary art

P

ersian carpets are undeniably beautiful and historically important. Examples as old as 400 B.C. exist in museums, and to this day their creation and use is an integral part of the cultures of the Islamic and Arab world. For Azerbaijani contemporary artist Faig Ahmed, this ancient tradition marked a perfect place to meld his contemporary ideas.

His work has been described as psychedelic, surrealist, and distorted, and yet it also clearly pays attention and homage to traditional Azerbaijani weaving techniques. What balance is he trying to strike between old and new?

“There is a certain distance between opposites where the field is most vital,” Ahmed explained via email interview. “I seek this balance. This balance is expressed in the local language, traditional Azerbaijani art, which reacts and transforms as radically and unexpectedly as global trends.”

Using a team of veteran weavers, Ahmed is able to bring his ideas to life. He was trained as a sculptor, and indeed, many of his carpet designs use visual illusions to create the appearance of three dimensions. What led him to textiles and carpet-making?

“This is not a question of changing the material but a question of [my] thinking changing. As an artist, I returned to the ancient local material to speak with the modern and global,” he said.

Ahmed’s current San Luis Obispo Museum of Modern Art exhibition is a real coup of the Central Coast. As Nina Levent, director of NYC art gallery Sapar Contemporary noted during her remarks at the Feb. 11 opening, it would be considered a major exhibition in New York, LA, or one of the capitals of Europe.

“I’ve never seen these two major works in the same room together,” Levent explained, gesturing to the installation, “and there are two more brand new works I’m seeing for the first time. Every knot is applied by a human weaver and can take three to six months to complete, and it’s so very special to see so many of his works together. This is the most comprehensive mid-career retrospective I’ve seen of his work.”

In addition to Levent, we can thank SLOMA’s new executive director, Leann Standish, for the exhibition. She’s breathed new life into the museum and instigated major new programs including murals and monumental sculpture. We can also thank Chief Curator Emma Saperstein, who relentlessly pursued

L

ee Child has penned 26 novels about Jack Reacher, a former military officer who travels the U.S. seeking out and correcting injustice, so there’s a lot of material to mine for this new TV series starring Alan Ritchson as the towering, unstoppable Reacher. In Season 1, creator Nick Santora adapts the series’ 1997 debut novel, Killing Floor, which opens with Reacher arriving in Margrave, Georgia, only to be promptly arrested for murder.

The book series and this new TV show are pure male fantasy, as are the two Tom Cruise films—Jack Reacher (2012) and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016). Reacher operates by a code of honor that defines his character. He owns nothing, travels by Greyhound bus, and is a bit like a Ronin, a masterless samurai whose only responsibility is to seek truth and justice. I liked both

The yoked 6-foot-4 Ritchson seems right for the character but isn’t nearly as good an actor as Cruise.

If you like these types of stories, as I do, you’ll probably be able to forgive the wooden acting and become absorbed as Reacher works with local police officers Oscar Finlay (Malcolm Goodwin) and Roscoe Conklin (Willa Fitzgerald) to ferret out small-town corruption.

Food

For the love of cheese

San Luis Obispo will soon have a food joint dedicated to quesadillas

I

t should be no surprise what type of fare Quesadilla Gorilla will be serving up when it opens its doors to the SLO community in the near future (hint: it starts with quesa and ends with dilla).

But the real question is: How do you pronounce the restaurant’s name? Is it Quesadilla Gor-ee-a? Quesa-dill-a Gorilla?

“I always say, as long as it rhymes, then it’s good,” owner Miguel Reyes laughed.

“But we’ve heard it all. I personally say Quesa-dill-a Gorilla.”

Name details aside, this place knows how to put a quesadilla together. Until the restaurant’s brick-and-mortar spot opens—they’re aiming for the end of March, and it will be in The Creamery— you can find Quesadilla Gorilla’s menu of cheesy, gooey goodness at the downtown SLO farmers’ market on Thursday evenings.

I opted for the Atomic Veggie, featuring fresh pico de gallo, black beans, grilled fajita veggies, and cheese (of course). The tortilla was grilled to golden perfection, a little bit crispy, and the fajitas combined with Quesadilla Gorilla’s white cheese blend was melt-in-your-mouth good.

My favorite part of the experience was the multiple sauce options to choose from: roasted sour cream (roasted red salsa with sour cream), avocado salsa, cilantro cream (my personal favorite), and liquid gold (smoked red chilis with garlic, a house favorite). You get to choose two with each order. I’m a firm believer that sauces make or break the dining experience, so I was overjoyed by all the options to choose from.

Reyes co-owns the restaurant with his wife, Mikayla, who he met while they were both working in the restaurant industry.

“Our boss at the time was selling our

location. It was pizza by the slice, and we were like, well, we’re pretty much running this restaurant so let’s give it a try,” Reyes said. “We were going to keep [doing] pizza, and I had the idea going to bed one night, ‘Oh, we should do quesadillas. We could do a build-your-own menu, different sauces, different specials.’

I couldn’t stop thinking about it.”

This became Quesadilla Gorilla’s first location in Visalia, California, established in 2013. The Reyeses opened a few more locations through the years in Fresno, Three Rivers, and Hanford. Now, they have their sights set on SLO. “We want to put this in college towns,” Reyes said. “We definitely feel like it’s the perfect fit. As we grow, we’re going to be targeting mainly these bigger universities, so SLO’s kind of like a test market in that way. But also, we just really want to be in SLO. It’s a great place to be.”

Reyes said he’s looking into getting some Cal Poly-themed items on the menu, along with all the Quesadilla Gorilla classics. The fan favorite is the No. 1, also called the Evan Boling, Reyes said.

“He’s actually my barber, and he named our shop,” Reyes said.

The Evan Boling features cilantro lime chicken with crispy bacon and fresh jalapeños, mixed with Quesadilla Gorilla’s white cheese blend.

When Reyes was preparing to open his first location in Visalia, “We didn’t open for about a month because we didn’t have

a name,” he said.

“I was getting a haircut one day and was telling [Boling] about it, and he was like, ‘Quesadilla Gorilla.’ I was like, ‘That’s dumb.’ But by the end of the haircut it was like, ‘OK, that’s what we’re going with.’”

If cilantro chicken and bacon aren’t your thing, Quesadilla Gorilla also serves up Where’s the Beef?!, which is basically the Atomic Veggie but with seasoned and braised beef added to it.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor.

You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.

NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Homework: Give yourself a blessing. Say why you’re wonderful and name a marvelous event that’s ahead for you. Newsletter.freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): “A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it,” wrote author G. K. Chesterton. Amen to that! Please regard his observation as the first part of your horoscope. Here’s the second part: It’s sometimes the right approach to move in harmony with the flow, to allow the momentum of elemental forces to carry you along. But now is not one of those times. I suggest you experiment with journeys against the flow. Go in quest of what the followers of easy options will never experience. Do it humbly, of course, and with your curiosity fully deployed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “You’re never allowed to step on people to get ahead,” said TV personality and author Star Jones, “but you can step over them if they’re in your way.” I suspect the coming months will be a time when you really should step over people who are in your way. There’s no need to be mad at them, criticize them, or gossip about them. That would sap your energy to follow your increasingly clear dreams. Your main task is to free yourself from influences that obstruct your ability to be the Royal Sovereign of Your Own Destiny.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini-born Gina Rowlands is retired now, but she had an award-winning six-decade career as an actor. At age 20, she decided what she wanted to do with her life, and her parents offered her their blessings. She testified: “I went home and I told my mom that I wanted to quit college and be an actress, and she said, ‘Huh, that sounds fascinating. It’s wonderful!’ And I told my father, and he literally said, ‘I don’t care if you want to be an elephant trainer if it makes you happy.’” Dear Gemini, in the coming months, I would love for you to receive similar encouragement for your budding ideas and plans. What can you do to ensure you’re surrounded by influences like Rowlands’ parents? I hope you embark on a long-term project to get all the support you need.

(June 21-July 22): As you enter an astrological phase when vast, expansive ruminations will be fun and healthy for you, I will offer you some vast, expansive thoughts. Hopefully, they will inspire your own spacious musings. First, here’s artist M. C. Escher: “Wonder is the salt of the earth.” Next, author Salman Rushdie: “What’s real and what’s true aren’t necessarily the same.” Here’s poet Allen Ginsberg: “When you notice something clearly and see it vividly, it then becomes sacred.” A proverb from the Omaha people: “Ask questions from your heart, and you will be answered from the heart.” G. K. Chesterton: “Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.” Finally, playwright Tony Kushner: “I’m not religious, but I like God, and he likes me.”

(July 23-Aug. 22): “Out of love, you can speak with straight fury,” wrote author Eudora Welty. Here’s how I interpret that in light of the current chapter of your life story: You have an opportunity to recalibrate some misaligned energy. You have the necessary insight to fix an imbalance or dissolve an illusion or correct a flow that has gone off-course. And by far the best way to do that is by wielding the power of love.

It will need to be expressed with vehemence and intense clarity, however. It will require you to be both compassionate and firm. Your homework: Figure out how to express transformative truths with kindness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo political science professor Tatah Mentan was born and raised in the African country of Cameroon, which has never fully recovered from its grueling colonization by Germany, France, and England. The democratic tradition there is tenuous. When Mentan first taught at a university in the Cameroonian capital, authorities found his ideas too controversial. For the next 16 years, he attempted to be true to himself while avoiding governmental censorship, but the strain proved too stressful. Fearing for his

safety, he fled to the US. I’m turning to him for advice that will serve you well in the coming weeks. He tells us, “Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Anything you do from the heart enriches you, but sometimes not till years later,” wrote author Mignon McLaughlin. I’m pleased to inform you, Libra, that you will soon receive your rewards for generous actions you accomplished in the past. On behalf of the cosmic rhythms, I apologize for how long it has taken. But at least it’s finally here. Don’t underestimate how big this is. And don’t allow sadness about your earlier deprivation to inhibit your enthusiastic embrace of compensation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): No matter how reasonable and analytical you are, Scorpio, you possess a robust attraction to magic.

You yearn for the refreshing invigoration of non-rational mysteries. You nurture urges to be delighted by outbreaks of the raw, primal lust for life. According to my astrological assessment, you are especially inclined to want and need these feelings in the next few weeks. And that’s good and healthy and holy! At the same time, don’t abandon your powers of discernment. Keep them running in the background as you enjoy your rejuvenating communions with the enigmatic pleasures of the Great Unknown.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Diane Ackerman tells us, “In the absence of touching and being touched, people of all ages can sicken and grow touch-starved. Touch seems to be as essential as sunlight.” This is always important to remember, but it will be extra crucial for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks. I advise you to be ingenious and humble and frank as you collect as much physical contact as you can.

Be polite and respectful, of course. Never force yourself on anyone. Always seek permission. With those as your guidelines, be greedy for hugs and cuddling and caresses.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Education, fundamentally, is the increase of the percentage of the conscious in relation to the unconscious.” Author and educator Sylvia Ashton-Warner said that, and now I’m telling you—just in time for one of the most lesson-rich times of a year that will be full of rich lessons. In the next nine months, dear Capricorn, the proportion of your consciousness in relation to your unconsciousness should markedly increase. And the coming weeks will be a favorable phase to upgrade your educational ambitions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re entering a phase of your cycle when your ability to boost your finances will be stronger than usual.

You’ll be more likely to attract good luck with money and more apt to discover useful tips on how to generate greater abundance. To inspire your efforts, I offer you this observation by author Katharine Butler Hathaway: “To me, money is alive.

It is almost human. If you treat it with real sympathy and kindness and consideration, it will be a good servant and work hard for you, and stay with you and take care of you.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Author Deb Caletti made the following observation: “You have ordinary moments and ordinary moments and more ordinary moments, and then, suddenly, there is something monumental right there. You have past and future colliding in the present, your own personal Big Bang, and nothing will ever be the same.” In my vision of your destiny in 2022, Pisces, there could be several of these personal Big Bangs, and one of them seems to be imminent.

To prepare—that is, to ensure that the changes are primarily uplifting and enjoyable—I suggest you chant the following mantra at least five times every day: “I love and expect good changes.” ∆
