SLOCO roller derby skaters harassed again by teen skateboarders

A

fter experiencing repeated harassment from a group of teenage skateboarders last summer, the SLOCO Junior Derby Devils started this year hoping these incidents were behind them. But at their weekly Sunday practice on April 10, it happened again.

“The skaters were grouped up getting ready for a drill,” said Julie Chow, a SLOCO coach and the team’s human resources board member.

“Then a skateboarder climbed over the fence with his skateboard, and started skateboarding at the end of the rink where there were SLOCO skaters. I turned to look and there was already another coach working to escort this skateboarder out. He was pretty resistant.”

SLOCO practices on Sunday afternoons at the Santa Rosa Skatepark. During this time, the rink is reserved only for the roller derby team’s use—and skateboarders aren’t allowed to use the rink anyway, because the surface is not made for skateboarding.

Another skateboarder started loudly shouting, “When can we use the rink?” Chow said. Then a member of the group lifted his shirt and exposed his chest. At this point, Chow called the police. A skateboarder came into the rink and started dribbling a basketball. The group proceeded to rip and deflate the ball, and throw it at SLOCO skaters, some of whom are as young as 6 years old. Then came the worst of the harassment.

“One of our skaters overheard one of them say, ‘If I get in-line skates can I fuck one of your skaters?’” Chow said.

The police arrived shortly after.

“They came over and talked with us first. We showed them a video that we did have,” Chow said. “Then they went over and talked to the other group. That’s typically what they do.”

SLO Police Department Operations Capt.

Brian Amoroso said the officers who responded to the incident determined it did not rise to an actionable crime. When asked what level of harassment would amount to a crime, Amoroso said it depends on the situation.

“There is free speech in this country: Hurling an insult doesn’t necessarily rise to the level of a crime, but it can in some cases,” he said. “It’s just important that people treat people with

Private well data needed for Adelaida groundwater study

For years, residents of the Adelaida region near Paso Robles have asked for help protecting their fragile water supply. Now, officials with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are asking the community for its help to accomplish that.

As part of a five-year study of the relatively unknown groundwater area west of Highway 101 between Paso and Atascadero—where irrigated vineyards have proliferated in recent years—the USGS is setting out to build a new groundwater monitoring network of about 30 wells.

But it needs private landowners’ help to do it.

“Most of the land out there is privately

‘CAN’T BE TOLERATED’ After a few months without any incidents, the SLOCO Junior Derby Devils once again experienced harassment by a group of teenage skateboarders at a recent practice.

respect. … We have to look at this on a case-bycase basis.”

Chow said she and other SLOCO leaders have asked the city’s Parks and Recreation Department to provide a skate marshall who would be present whenever the skatepark is open, or even just on the weekends when these incidents typically occur.

“There is a skate ambassador that is employed by the city, [but] he cannot be there all the time,” Chow said. “What we’ve been told when we met with Parks and Rec is, ‘Well, we really want to build a community coalition,’ and, ‘The skate park was built in a way that we

shouldn’t have to have constant supervision.’

Which is all well and good … but when things like this are happening, it can’t be tolerated.”

Fifteen-year-old Valkyrie Barker, a SLOCO captain, said “we’re used to it, but we shouldn’t be.”

“We weren’t happy, but we continued with practice,” Barker said. “I’m a team captain so I kind of took charge as the coaches were talking to the officers. I kept practice going, tried to keep my friends safe and not let them get distracted by the words. … We are frustrated, but we keep moving on. We invite anyone that would like to be friendly.” Δ —Malea Martin

owned—we’re asking for participation from more landowners,” said Geoff Cromwell, a geologist with the USGS and a staff member on the study. “What we plan to do is to collect, over a period of two years, quarterly groundwater level measurements from selected wells.”

Cromwell, alongside the Upper Salinas-Las Tablas Resource Conservation District, are hosting a community meeting on April 25 to share more with the public about the USGS study and its next steps. The meeting is slated for 4 p.m. in the Polin community room of the Atascadero Library.

An initial two-year phase of the study, which began in 2020, involved compiling existing data about Adelaida groundwater and some preliminary outreach to the community (which

got severely hampered by COVID-19, Cromwell said). That phase had one main conclusion.

“In short, there’s not a lot of publicly available data,” Cromwell said. “[Adelaida groundwater] has not been extensively studied like the Paso Robles basin next door. Ultimately, there still is not a lot that is known. We know there’s some thousands of wells that are there.”

Cromwell said that the USGS is looking to public entities, like fire stations, first to gather well data, but it will ultimately need landowners to volunteer their wells for study in order to get a meaningful set of data points.

“We’ll choose those wells based on depth and geology,” he said, “to try to measure different parts of the aquifer system and try to determine NEWS continued page 6

if different parts are connected both spatially and then also vertically as well.

Are the shallow wells connected to the deep wells?”

The USGS wants to pair that well data with data retrieved from a recent airborne mapping study of the area done by helicopter to gain a better overall understanding of Adelaida groundwater conditions. There are also plans to install a streamgage in the Paso Robles Creek to monitor surface flows.

The project, funded by the SLO County Flood Control District, originally came in response to concerns expressed in the Adelaida community about the area’s groundwater supply, and how a surge in commercial agriculture has impacted it.

A historically dry-farmed region, Adelaida has an aquifer that’s complex due to its uneven terrain and geology.

Devin Best, executive director of the Upper Salinas-Las Tablas Resource Conservation District, said that the USGS study is critical given the wine industry’s growing presence there. But there’s still a long ways to go.

“It’s more challenging to figure out where the interconnectivity of groundwater is—you could be at 50 feet [belowground] in one spot and 150 feet in another spot, and it’s technically the same groundwater,” Best said. “It’s going to take us a while to figure out what is going on in that area.”

Paso council votes against staff recommendation on parking program

Paso Robles City Council members met for nearly three hours over the weekend to decide whether to increase the cost of parking downtown so the program would stop losing money. The verdict? Things will stay the same—at least for now.

Julie Dixon, a parking consultant hired by the city, and Paso’s Downtown Parking Advisory Commission both recommended removing the two-hour free parking period, changing the hourly rate to $2, and adding 30-minute short-term parking spaces at the end of each block.

Against staff recommendations, the council voted 3-2 to keep the parking program as it is: Two hours of free curbside parking in the downtown core, and then $1 an hour after that. The council also directed staff to explore options for funding a parking structure, and to revisit the decision in six months.

Dixon said in her presentation that on certain days and times, downtown parking is often full or close to it, making it difficult for residents and visitors alike to patronize local businesses. She said increasing parking costs would not only help manage this issue, but also help the city’s parking program to become cost neutral.

“We need to definitely do something to mitigate the curbside,” Dixon said.

As it stands, the program is losing money every year—not to mention the nearly $750,000 loan the city gave the program to get it started, which hasn’t yet been repaid.

But Mayor Steve Martin sees it differently.

“I would suggest that this loan is actually an investment in municipal services,” Martin said. “We invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in

other services, and we don’t call it a loan.

I think we need to look at this as an investment in this program, which in the long term will pay off in more profitable businesses and a more profitable city.”

The council also heard from members of the Downtown Parking Advisory Commission, which recommended the parking increase.

But owner of Park Cinemas and nowformer parking Commissioner John Roush was concerned about how an increase in parking costs would affect his business. The theater is currently allowed by the city to validate its customers’ parking for up to three hours so patrons can watch a film without paying for parking.

“I must request this parking committee recommend and the City Council agrees to an assurance guarantee that the theater will continue to get the three hours of free parking,” Roush said during the discussion portion of the weekend meeting. “Without this guarantee, we need to reconsider investing any further funds in the theater. … It’s very possible the theater may then go away, and you will never get another theater in Paso Robles.”

As he was giving his comment, Paso City Attorney Elizabeth Hull suddenly asked to take a five-minute break. When the meeting returned, she explained why.

“It became apparent during Mr. Roush’s comments that the impact of the parking is unique to his business, which could have a direct financial effect on him,” Hull said. “I felt it was appropriate to take a brief recess and raise that issue so as not to result in a violation of the Political Reform Act.” Mayor Martin requested that Roush step down from the Parking Advisory Commission, and Roush agreed to do so.

Martin apologized for what he called an “awkward and embarrassing” situation.

Councilmembers John Hamon and Steve Gregory both opined that changing parking rates was necessary so the program would stop losing money.

“There’s one way to do this where we get pretty close to revenue-neutral and not change the parking rate, and that is just drop down to one free hour and $1 an hour afterwards,” Gregory said. “… I think it’s a cleaner and better way to go, and it shows in earnest that we’re trying to financially deal with the future of our parking issues in Paso.”

Ultimately, the council majority disagreed, deciding to stick with the status quo and keep the parking program as it is. The council will return to the issue in six months.

Coastal Commission appeals Pismo Beachapproved beach house additions

A vacation beach house rental in Pismo Beach caught the stern eye of the California Coastal Commission for “afterthe-fact” construction and additions to the property that the city authorized.

At its April 7 meeting, the Coastal Commission appealed the beach house’s coastal development permit that the Pismo Beach Planning Commission approved in December 2021. After determining that “substantial issues” exist on site, the commission took over jurisdiction of the permit application. It

Shelter, services, support Local governments along the Pacific Coast innovate to address the growing issue of homelessness

BY NEW TIMES STAFF

W

hat’s the solution to homelessness?

“It is apparent that there is not panacea to solve this complex problem, as it is diverse and nuanced,” Katie Grainger wrote in a letter to the SLO County Board of Supervisors as the chair/facilitator of Public Safety SLO. “However, I fully believe that a tiny-house village is an appropriate step in the right direction, one which the community can get behind across sectors to unite and support.”

Tiny-home villages are just one proposed potential solution to the homelessness issue in SLO County. While the village concept is still just an idea on the Central Coast, tiny-home shelters are a reality in other places, as are a variety of other innovative approaches.

New Times spoke with several communities and organizations spearheading those projects to learn more about how effective they were at providing services to homeless individuals and getting a more permanent roof over their heads.

Sanctioned camps

Santa Rosa’s approach to homelessness evolved out of necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In May 2020, as homeless encampments multiplied in the Northern California city and the threat of a COVID-19 outbreak grew, officials scrambled to establish Santa Rosa’s first sanctioned encampment, located in the parking lot of a city park and community center.

“We were not open to doing a sanctioned encampment prior to that, but I’d say the pandemic forced us to try new things and step outside of our comfort zone,” said Kelli Kuykendall, Santa Rosa’s housing and community services manager. “At that point in time, we didn’t know a lot about COVID-19 and how it might impact our homeless population. The city owns a shelter, but congregate shelter was not a good idea at the time.”

The city-managed encampment was large enough to host about 70 tents—each spaced 12 feet apart. Santa Rosa and its nonprofit partners provided toilets, showers, hand-washing stations, security, trash assistance, and various social and medical services to its residents.

After an initial wave of opposition to the project, Kuykendall said that the Santa Rosa community came to accept— and even embrace—the campsite, which drew in dozens of unhoused individuals over a six-month period.

“I had at least 100 questions and complaints in advance of our first virtual community meeting. … There was a strong opposition prior to us opening,” Kuykendall remembered. “And after that, we had very few complaints and didn’t really see any increases in calls for service. In the end, it certainly wasn’t perfect. But, overall, the feedback was positive.”

Santa Rosa isn’t the only California city to look to sanctioned encampments as a temporary stopgap to the sprawling problem of unsheltered homelessness.

Cities like San Jose, Sausalito, Los Angeles, San Francisco—and even Paso Robles—have also tried them in recent years, to varying degrees of success.

Despite Santa Rosa’s success with an encampment, the city shuttered the parking lot site in November 2020.

The project was always meant to be temporary, Kuykendall said, and officials were concerned about how the camp would hold up during the winter.

Today, Santa Rosa operates a safe parking site for unhoused residents living in their vehicles.

“What we’re seeing as the greatest need is people in their RVs and vehicles,” Kuykendall said. “We do still have tent encampments, but the majority are vehicles. We don’t have any plans right now to do a managed [encampment] site.”

Sanctioned encampments have been short-lived in other cities, too. In 2018, the city of San Jose experimented with Hope Village—a sanctioned encampment of about 17 residents near the international airport. But after a year, the Federal Aviation Administration broke it up— saying it was too close to the airport. The city never found a replacement location.

Some sanctioned encampments, like Sausalito’s, have a checkered record.

Officials in the bayfront city opened an encampment on city tennis courts last year after homeless advocates filed a lawsuit over the city’s handling of an unsanctioned encampment near the San Francisco Bay. But the tennis court

SANCTIONED Last year, the city of Sausalito opened a sanctioned homeless encampment after a lawsuit filed by homeless advocates forced its hand. The camp, located on city tennis courts, houses more than two dozen people, but a recent tent fire and explosion raised concerns.

UNSANCTIONED Sausalito’s solution to a homeless encampment that formed near the San Francisco Bay front was to relocate it to a city park.

encampment made headlines for the wrong reasons this past February, when one of its 28 residents lit a tent on fire, causing a propane tank inside to explode.

Despite some challenges of sanctioned encampments—including their cost (Santa Rosa’s cost nearly $700,000 to operate)—Kuykendall said that they are very effective at attracting more serviceor shelter-resistant populations. They also help reduce the impacts of unsanctioned encampments.

“The best thing we learned is that people will come in—people who have been resistant previously to come into previous shelter models,” Kuykendall said.

While it’s never a long-term solution to homelessness, a sanctioned encampment can also be a valuable touchpoint for services or a first step to permanent housing. Santa Rosa had some success at housing individuals who stayed at its encampment, Kuykendall said.

“That was really our focus—that this is not the end destination,” she said. “Let’s stabilize people and house them.”

The whole person

Many individuals experiencing homelessness need medical attention, mental health care, social services, or substance abuse treatment in addition to shelter. But it can be difficult to find a place to live—and stay there—without addressing those other needs, said Melora Martin, a senior strategist with the California Health Care Foundation.

“We often find particular people experiencing homelessness don’t necessarily present with, ‘I need housing.’

They present with, ‘I need care for this pain I’m having, or symptom I’m having.’

[Addressing this] can be a gateway to the other services they need, including housing,” Martin said.

This year, the Golden State is transitioning to a new program called Enhanced Care Management: a MediCal-focused initiative designed to meet individuals experiencing homelessness where they are, and give them one point of contact who can help coordinate services to meet all of their needs—physical, dental, behavioral, and developmental care—as well as give access to social services, according to the California Department of Health Care Services.

Currently 25 of California’s 58 counties have Enhanced Care Management programs specific to their needs, and Santa Barbara County’s not too far behind as it completes a program application, said Department of Behavioral Wellness Chief Quality Care and Strategy Officer Susan Grimmesey.

“To have a true whole person care

model, there has to be the funding so that you have the dedicated coordinators within each of those systems. You’d have this actual team, and that’s something we don’t have. We have good relationships and believe in it, but from a practical standpoint we don’t have the designated teams,” Grimmesey said.

If the application’s approved by the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors and the state, the county could incorporate a housing retention team, life skills training, a tenant curriculum, and counseling services for individuals experiencing homelessness by September, she said.

“So often, we help individuals establish housing and assume now [that] they got the housing, they’ve got what they need. We know now how important it is to have a significant amount of support with independent living skills, life skills, benefits coaching, and having people onsite that can be there to provide support,” Grimmesey continued.

Santa Barbara County looked to programs set up in Monterey and Alameda counties as models, Grimmesey said. The two counties were both a part of a 2016, five-year pilot program called Whole Person Care—which looked at coordinated service efforts for individuals experiencing homelessness, but wasn’t a part of Medi-Cal yet—explained Alameda County Homeless Care and Coordination Director Kerry Abbott.

Alameda received $140 million from the California Department of Health Care Services to implement its pilot program— which ran until December 2020 and is transitioning to Enhanced Care Management this year—with a priority of helping individuals navigate housing applications, Abbott said.

“It takes a lot more than just showing up for an interview to make that work.

Housing coordinators worked with clients on everything from accessing documents to moving into housing; from preparing for meetings [to] identifying preferences.

Services were a huge part of Whole Person Care,” she said.

According to 2020 Alameda County data, 299 people received intensive support through its Enhanced Housing Transition Service Bundle, and 1,691 people received landlord relations and dispute resolution coaching under its Housing and Tenancy Sustaining Service Bundle.

Although providing all the services a person may need is a move in a positive direction, the statewide housing crisis presents a barrier that services alone cannot overcome, Abbott added.

“What it really comes down to is the housing crisis in California is desperate.

There’s not enough housing, and it’s extremely expensive,” she said. “Whole Person Care was intended to address all of the barriers that people might be facing to improve their health, and housing is one of the biggest barriers.”

Pallets with purpose

When the COVID-19 shelter-at-home mandate went into place in March 2020, 5 Cities Homeless Coalition (5CHC) Executive Director Janna Nichols had one question: “Where will my people shelter at home?” South SLO County doesn’t have any homeless shelters.

SLO County Parks gave the coalition 10 spaces at the Coastal Dunes Campground to offer to people already in the organization’s case management program.

Out of the 10 people who participated in the two-month program, Nichols said, most ended up finding permanent housing.

“That program really helped me see that if people weren’t swirling around trying to figure out where they were going to sleep at night, they had a better opportunity to focus on other things,” Nichols said.

With the lessons from this program in mind, 5CHC is partnering with SLO County and the city of Grover Beach to implement a non-congregate shelter model on county-owned land in Grover Beach. The plan is to use modular cabins made by a Washington-based company called Pallet.

“When you first hear our company name, chances are wooden planks forged together might be one of the first images that come to mind,” Pallet’s website explained. “But unlike wooden shelters, ours are made of durable materials that won’t rot.”

In addition to a roof, Pallet shelters offer privacy: People have a space either all to themselves or shared with one roommate, a place to keep their belongings 24 hours a day, a bed, and a door that locks.

Tacoma was one of the earliest adopters. The city started its Pallet shelter program in 2017 and now has 58 of the structures.

“This site is their home for 24 hours a day: There’s no ‘out at this time and in at this time,’” said Megan Snow with the city of Tacoma. “When you are in a shelter situation where you have to vacate at 7 a.m., you have to leave with all of your stuff.”

The Pallet model gives unhoused people one less thing to worry about, and acts as a stepping stone for people who aren’t ready for permanent housing yet.

“When you don’t have a place that’s safe, you tend to lose some of those PHOTO COURTESY OF CITY OF TACOMA

important governmental documents.

You’re not ready for those reasons,” Snow said. “This is that intermediary step where caseworkers are on-site, they’re helping you get all your paperwork back in place, and while you’re doing that, you have a place where you can lock the door and your stuff is safe.”

Since starting in 2017, the Tacoma program has served more than 570 individuals, and about 20 to 30 percent of them have transitioned to permanent housing. Snow said that’s a higher rate than traditional congregate shelter models.

A bit closer to home, Good Samaritan Shelter in Santa Barbara County also implemented Pallet shelters, first in Isla Vista, and more recently in Lompoc.

Brian Halterman, Good Sam’s director of homeless and housing programs in Lompoc, said the main goal of the Pallet program is to provide “a sheltering opportunity for clients or homeless individuals who typically would not enter the traditional, mainstream, congregate living facilities.”

“This option of having a smaller, personal area has been an opportunity for that,” Halterman continued. “We have one individual who I’ve known for almost 14 years. They took this option when they would have never considered a shelter before.”

Halterman talked about another client who dealt with extreme social anxiety, which stopped her from using congregate shelters in the past. But things have changed for her since coming into Lompoc’s Pallet shelter program.

“Over the past two weeks, numerous times she’s been over in the main shelter, sitting with groups of people, talking to them, which is something that wouldn’t have happened when she first came into the place,” Halterman said. “So [there’s] those little victories that you see.”

There are challenges that arise when dealing with a service-resistant population, Halterman said.

“The challenges have been helping them develop that trust that they’re going to be OK, that we can help them,” he said.

“Even with the Pallets, there are policies and procedures that have to be followed, and for some, even with their own little living space, they just can’t.”

But the challenges, Halterman believes, are well outweighed by the success of the program.

“Without these Pallets, the 20-plus people we’ve been able to serve in the past six months would not have been served in a traditional setting,” he said. “They would still be out living homeless within our river bottoms and in dangerous positions.”

Homeless organizations need more help I would like to address the homeless situation here in town. It’s a problem everywhere, not just in SLO. Right now the homeless camps on the creek running into Avila Beach are just enjoying life.

Until the rains come, the creeks rise, and all their trash that they seem to haul in, but never haul out, washes to the ocean. At the South Higuera Street bridge some camps were cleaned up, but now they’re back, even putting up a mailbox to establish residence. At the same time Sunny Acres, which is a sober living facility, is being sued by our county.

Now, here is someone doing the work our county doesn’t want to do. Why doesn’t our system support people who are doing the work with the homeless? Help Sunny Acres get up to code, don’t close it down.

We don’t need more homeless; we need more facilities helping them!

Trina Quinn SLO

We need an independent redistricting commission An April 8 Tribune editorial (“Charter plan looks like another power grab by SLO County’s conservative supervisors”) describes the lack of respect for the SLO County citizens by the Board of Supervisors majority. It appears that the majority is working to ensure that partisan gerrymandering will continue into the foreseeable future. I fully support the establishment of an Independent

➤ Rhetoric & Reason [14] ➤ Shredder [16]

Letters Redistricting Commission to take the job of drawing district lines out of the hands of the politicians and give it to the local citizens.

It should have not come to this.

The five-member SLO County Board of Supervisors, regardless of party affiliation, should have asked themselves: “If we let the citizens vote on their preference for a redistricting map, would the Patten Map have been selected?” Having voted without considering the answer to this question indicates the importance of bringing in independent bodies to create fair, nonpartisan district maps.

This course of action would reveal our supervisors to be true statespeople, instead of just politicians. Statespeople serve the interests of the people.

Politicians serve their personal interests.

Statespeople receive respect regardless of party affiliation. Politicians do not.

The establishment of an independent redistricting commission would improve local morale and regain local trust in future redistricting considerations.

Rhetoric&Reason

n relatively civil confirmation proceedings, Ketanji Brown Jackson was recently confirmed as the newest Supreme Court Justice. Some observations: Surprisingly for an administration that usually panders to the lunatic fringe, she appears moderate and, well, sane.

During the hearings before the Judiciary Committee, Jackson handled herself well, and she appears well qualified for the position. Not only does she seem moderate, but she even showed signs of being an originalist when she said that the text of the Constitution has a fixed meaning, that the original intent should be considered, and that the ideologically maleable “living Constitution” philosophy embraced by liberals “infuses” the text of the Constitution with “the policy perspective of the day.” Be still my heart!

The “missteps” in her testimony are relatively minor. Her inability to define “what a woman is” because “I’m not a biologist” merely reflects a cagey disinclination to publicly contradict the bizarre gender ideology of her Democratic patrons. She, like everyone, knows the difference but realized that defining the difference in a scientifically defensible manner would embarrass the Democrats and the Orwellian fiction that they are politically obligated to observe.

Likewise, for all of the indignant posturing of some of the questioners, her sentencing record for child porn convictions seems within the mainstream. While decent people are repelled by child porn, most of us also recognize that there is a big difference between actually assaulting children, or participating in or encouraging the exploitation of kids, and merely possessing child pornography. Even with disgusting crimes, sentencing should be proportionate to the harm caused.

Those who attacked her for defending terrorists misunderstand the role of a criminal defense attorney, who is ethically obligated to vigorously defend even those guilty of horrific crimes. By doing so, they keep the system honest and help prevent the conviction of the innocent.

While I personally never had any interest in defending criminals, it is a necessary function and someone has to do it.

After the deceitful smearing of Brett Kavanaugh, and the character assassination of Clarence Thomas, by politicians who went on to ignore far more credible allegations against Joe Biden and other Democratic figures, it was amusing to hear some Democrats whining about the supposed “bullying” and “hounding” of Jackson by Republicans on the committee.

Asking tough questions about judicial philosophy and prior cases is the reason that such hearings are conducted in the first place, instead of just proceeding directly to the coronation. Unlike the Democrats, the Republicans chose to not conjure up unsupported allegations of high school misconduct, engage in personal attacks, and go “scorched earth.” While there was the predictable Republican grandstanding on hot button issues, they chose the high road, leaving the sewer for the Democrats to crawl through the next time the roles are reversed.

Since the shift to a conservative majority, we have heard many complaints

from Democrats that the Supreme Court is supposedly “too politicized.” While Biden’s promise to limit his search for a justice to only 7 percent of the American population was certainly political, it is the partisan yammering of the Democrats that reveals where the politics are coming from. Slate writer Dahlia Lithwick complained that, instead of just answering questions, Jackson should have been given the chance to articulate a “progressive judicial philosophy” that emphasizes “LGBTQ rights, marriage equality, contraception, and abortion”—more of a political platform than a judicial philosophy. And, of course, liberals have long lionized Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Thurgood Marshall for their fierce advocacy of the liberal agenda, hardly the neutrality expected of a judge.

So, just who politicizing the court?

Or, is it “politics” only when “your side” doesn’t prevail?

Obviously, I would have preferred a nominee who is more conservative than Jackson is, and I am concerned that her actual politics and judicial philosophy may be more leftist than her testimony indicated. In this hyperpartisan environment, her responses may have been designed more for political consumption than for illumination.

Still, she is the nominee of a Democratic president, and another Antonin Scalia is unlikely. She is qualified, and I see nothing disqualifying in her record or in her testimony. She is the president’s choice. As Obama famously observed, “elections have consequences.” Unlike many of the hysterically unhinged partisans of the left, we Republicans tend to accept the inevitable and to follow the rules, rather than fling gratuitous insults. Perhaps it reflects the small sliver of youthful idealism that survived 40 years of practicing law, but I think that we should respect the process. I hope that the Democrats reciprocate in the future.

And, yes, I anticipate your comments about the nomination of Merrick Garland, and the refusal to give him a hearing. I note that not only does the Constitution give the Senate the right to reject the nominee, but nothing requires a hearing, and it doesn’t guarantee the nominating party a stage on which to theatrically grandstand with their anger and rage over a rejection. Again, elections have consequences. ∆ John Donegan is a retired attorney in Pismo Beach whose judicial exploits were more on the level of Judge Judy, than anything as grand as the Supreme Court.

Opinion

The Shredder

Skateholes T he general public already looks with suspicion at skateboarders as scofflaws and hooligans. They can cause property damage, trespass on private property, and are often seen as disrespectful.

The average U.S. skateboarder is a 14-yearold white male, so you can throw some adolescence, toxic masculinity, and white privilege into the mix.

And then a few easpecially shitty little skate brats have to go harass roller skaters at the Roller Rink at SLO Town’s Santa Rosa Park to further exacerbate the stereotype that skaters are miscreants that don’t deserve the $2.2 million 15,000-square-foot skate park the city of San Luis Obispo built for them in 2015.

Last July, a group of young skaters started throwing food and yelling insults and physical threats at members of the SLOCO Junior Derby Devils, a nonprofit recreational league for kids 4 to 17, which reserves the rink every Sunday from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. for practice. Last summer, the skateboarders eventually tore down SLOCO’s posters, stormed the rink, and screamed obscenities like the C-word and racial epithets like the N-word at coaches and reportedly called the children “whores.”

The police were called but no one was held accountable. Instead, the authorities’ “solution” was to close the rink to everyone except those with registered permits. At the time, SLOCO made it clear that locking the skate rink, which is also used for basketball

and other activities like rollerblading, wasn’t the solution and only punished those seeking recreation.

It was an ugly episode, and the situation was widely reported by publications across the state, including the San Jose Mercury News.

“We had hoped that after the media coverage last summer that the harassment at the hands of young skateboarders at the park would have stopped, and for a short while, it did,” SLOCO recently wrote on its Instagram page, “but sadly we are experiencing viable harassment, invasion of a space we rent, and throwing of objects at us during our practice time.”

Those little jerks are back! Frankly, if I were part of SLOCO, I’d have someone standing by with a cellphone to capture the little creeps on video (which SLOCO did) and publicly shame them—so far I haven’t seen any videos posted anywhere. According to SLOCO, though, “The skate park ambassador was a witness to the events.”

Hopefully whoever that ambassador is can identify the perpetrators. But according to SLOCO’s post, the organization doesn’t have a lot faith in the SLO Police Department doing much about it.

“The lack of help from the SLOPD is evidence that a sport that is predominantly female run, led, and attended, shows us where the priority of female and female-presenting members of our community stand in their eyes.”

Some communities are now investing Oh snap, SLO po-po! You just got called transphobic and sexist! in Enhanced Care Management—a “When young boys are allowed to Medi-Cal-focused initiative designed to continuously attack, harass, threaten, and help the unhoused connect to physical, throw sexually charged language at a group dental, behavioral, and developmental of [roller] skaters as young as 6, and not face care as well as access to social any recourse, it is clear that the sexism in services, according to the California our community continues,” the post said.

Both Robert Cray and Keb’ Mo’ play the Fremont this week

ROBERT THE GREAT The amazing Robert Cray plays the Fremont Theater on April 14, touring in support of his new album That’s What I Heard.

R

obert Cray and Keb’ Mo’ share a few similarities: They were both born in the early 1950s; they’re both gifted musicians and songwriters; and they’ve both won five Grammy Awards. Best of all, they both have shows at the historic Fremont Theater this week. Let’s go in chronological order.

Blues great Robert Cray plays Thursday, April 14 (8 p.m.; all ages; $39.50 to $57 at eventbrite.com), touring in support of his new record That’s What I Heard, released on Feb. 28.

“I thought if we could get this thing that Sam Cooke used to have, the kind of sound that early Sam Cooke records had, that we could pull this off,” producer Steve Jordan said in press materials.

In addition to some Cray originals, the album features covers such as Curtis Mayfield’s “You’ll Want Me Back” and Deadric Malone’s “You’re the One” made famous by Bobby “Blue” Bland and several others.

If my calculations are correct, this is the 20th studio album for the Blues Hall of Famer. His more than two-decade partnership with producer Jordan has certainly paid off in some great music.

“Robert is just a great person besides being extraordinary talent,” Jordan said.

“People gravitate to his guitar playing first, but I think he’s one of the best singers I’ve heard in my life. Not only because of his singing ability, but his interpretations. He’s such an honest soul in my opinion.”

Trivia! Cray had an uncredited role as the bassist in the Otis Day and the Knights band from the 1978 comedy classic National Lampoon’s Animal House.

Keb’ Mo’ and opener Jackie Venson play the Fremont Theater on Tuesday, April 19 (9 p.m.; all ages; $35 to $60 at eventbrite.com). Born Kevin Roosevelt Moore, his early musical career was as a steel drum player in a calypso band before moving to guitar.

By the time he was 21, Keb’ Mo’ was playing with Jefferson Airplane violinist Papa John Creach on four of Creach’s albums. Later he was hired as a staff writer at A&M Records. His first record, Rainmaker under the name Kevin Moore, was released in 1980, but it wasn’t until 14 years later and his second record, 1996’s self-titled debut Keb’ Mo’, that the artist found his footing.

He just released Good to Be in January—his 14th album that was written between his Nashville home and his childhood home in Compton, which he recently purchased and renovated. On the record, he reflects on the idea of “home.”

Keb’ Mo’ is also an actor, most recently playing Ransom Weathers in the 2021 film Traces.

Jazz fusion extravaganza!

Jared Mattson and High Pulp play SLO Brew Rock on Wednesday, April 20 (7 p.m.; all ages; free) in what’s being billed as “an epic 4/20 jazz fusion celebration!” Jared Mattson of Mattson 2 will be co-headlining with Seattle-based group High Pulp for an “exploratory evening of acid jazz,” according to the venue.

The pandemic put the kibosh on touring as the brothers-duo Mattson 2, so Jared started “developing his own solo compositions in his casita in the hills of San Diego with drum machines, synths, a P-Bass, and his Stratocaster inspired by the newfound domestic solitude and necessity to keep busy at his work in order to stay alive,” his bio explains. “What resulted is a

26 • New Times • April 14 - April 21, 2022 • www.newtimesslo.com

tape saturated, bizarre blend of psychedelic guitar, reggae induced city pop.”

Instrumental band High Pulp has dabbled in everything from avant-garde jazz to beat-driven R&B to psychedelic synthesizer-heavy electronica. They recently signed to ANTI-Records to release “Motel Money,” “a song that features deep-in-the-pocket drums, lush synth textures, cinematic horns, and the trumpet stylings of featured guest artist Takuya Kuroda,” the band stated in press materials.

“I remember the first time I heard Rising Son [by Kuroda] back in 2014 when he joined Blue Note [Records] and it was this immediate magnetic reaction,” High Pulp drummer Bobby Granfelt said.

“I thought it was such a fresh modern take on jazz that stuck one foot firmly into hip-hop while simultaneously honoring bebop-era roots.”

This show should be crazy cool.

Lady and Candy-O

Clear your schedule and plan to stay the day at The Siren this Saturday, April 16, when the Morro Bay venue brings you a doubleheader of fun. Lady Goodman starts things off (2:30 to 5:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; free).

The four-piece outlaw country/ performance art project from Morro Bay is led by Jake Schoonmaker, who’s been involved in music on the Central Coast for the past 12 years in projects such as Depressed Specter, William H. Klink, Slurp Genius, and others.

His new project is based around the character of Lady Goodman, “a hypocritical, slightly pathetic, aging country music wannabe,” Schoonmaker explains. “The mustache which graces his face may be the most impressive attribute he holds, and his beer belly is almost as

big as his ego. His band is despondent towards him, and while his fans adore his music, they would probably be let down if they talked to him after a show.”

There’s an upcoming six-song EP called I Might Be Named Lady But I Ain’t No Good Man. It’s art, man!

“It’s a performance piece based on the aging outlaw musician’s life in modern America,” Schoonmaker said.

Later that same day, relive the late’70s and early-’80s with Candy O—The Ultimate Tribute to The Cars and Ric Ocasek (8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $16 to $18 at eventbrite.com). The Cars were super popular, and they were my first big stadium show I’d ever been to. I got hit in the back of the head with a Frisbee and have avoided stadium shows ever since, but you’re safe at The Siren and you’ll hear classics such as “Just What I Needed,” “Best Friend’s Girl,” “You’re All I’ve Got Tonight,” and more.

More music …

Frog and Peach hosts Greasy Dashiki on Thursday, April 14 (10 p.m.; 21-and-older).

They call themselves “hippie-hipsters” who “cleverly piece together elements of soul, reggae, blues, and pop using unorthodox combinations of acoustic and electric textures to produce a singular sound.”

Members Lacy and Rasner “trade lead vocals and cover a host of stringed instruments: acoustic guitar, Weissenborn guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, uke, lap steel, and slide guitar.”

Bill MacKay will be performing at Mee Heng Low Noodle House this Friday, April 15 (9 p.m.; $10). MacKay “is a Chicago-based composer, improvisor, guitarist, and writer, whose extensive body of original work touches on elements of energizing folk, avant-garde, and experimental diaspora,” according to his STARKEY continued page 27 PHOTO COURTESY OF BILL MACKAY

Passion projects Local photographer Kathleen Gerber uses new exhibit to raise funds and awareness for African Millennium Foundation

T

hose who know Kathleen Gerber solely through her prolific photo portfolio— previously highlighted in National Geographic, Smithsonian magazine, and other outlets—might be suprised when they discover she isn’t a career photographer.

The Grover Beach resident works full time as a geologist at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

But her two areas of expertise often overlap.

“I use most of my photography as a platform to either raise awareness or funding for projects I’ve been working on,” or both, said Gerber, who has embarked on a handful of trips to Africa over the past decade to assist a nonprofit, African Millennium Foundation (AMF), with drilling water wells in Mozambique and other countries.

Gerber also helps document the foundation’s various efforts through her photography. Many of these images, along with some wildlife photos taken during Gerber’s travels, are on display in a new exhibit at Ameriprise Financial in Santa Maria. All proceeds from prints purchased at the showcase will benefit projects associated with AMF.

Shortly before being introduced to the nonprofit, Gerber first traveled to Africa with her sister and mother, right around her mother’s 75th birthday. Gerber described the trip as a milestone and “a powerful experience.”

“It was a dream trip for my mom, and for all of us,” said Gerber, who added that as soon as she became interested in supporting AMF, her family was and has remained extremely supportive, “even when I can’t articulate why something is driving me.”

Gerber said she hopes one day to use more than just her spare time outside of work to MUSIC benefit the nonprofit.

Galaxy, Palm inhabit and learn Theatre, Stadium 10 from the lives she could have lived. With her newfound power and skills, she alone can save the endangered multiverse from Jobu Tupaki (Stephanie Hsu). (139 min.)

KUNG Glen This joyous, batshit-crazy romp went beyond my high expectations. The movie’s buzz is absolutely well-deserved.

Evelyn Wang is stressed to the max. Her business is being audited by the IRS, her lesbian daughter, Joy (Stephanie Hsu), is directionless, her husband (Ke Huy Quan) wants a divorce, and her very traditional and demanding father, Gong Gong (the great James Hong), is visiting from China and is expecting an amazing party. On top of that, Evelyn worries about how to introduce her daughter’s girlfriend, Becky (Tallie Medel), to her father, and then there’s Deirdre Beaubeirdra (Jamie Lee Curtis, chewing the scenery like a champ), the IRS agent who’s beyond fed up with Evelyn’s excuses and bookkeeping. Talk about a bad time to be called on to save the world! As she slowly wraps her head around her ability to move from one universe to the next, Evelyn begins to acquire the skills she’ll need to defeat Jobu Tupaki (also Stephanie Hsu), and if she’s lucky, maybe repair her damaged relationships with her husband and daughter.

Anna This film is nothing short of brilliant. It evokes such tenderness juxtaposed with hilarity—just that perfect mix of everything, all at once.

Yeoh plays the martyr who feels she sacrificed the possibility of a great life to move to America with her husband, soon to become trapped in a life she didn’t want—running a struggling laundromat with scant income and living in a cramped apartment, mother to a

daughter she refuses to understand.

When the allure of living the million different lives that could have been hers comes on too strong, she risks putting the whole multiverse into the dangerous path of Jobu Tupaki. What if she had said “no” to her mild-mannered (which reads to Evelyn as weak) beau when he asked to take her with him to America?

What if she listened to her overbearing father who would rather die with his principles than admit to his own human error? Quan is wonderful as the sweet and patient husband, Waymond, as well as his more daring multiverse double, Alpha-Waymond. Evelyn takes his kind disposition for weakness, when in fact his demeanor is the only thing saving them from complete ruin. There are so many dynamics going on here, but I can’t stress this enough: It may look like a “weird” movie, and in many ways it is, but it’s weird in that wonderful way that doesn’t happen often. This film is one I’ll watch over and over again.

Glen I certainly didn’t anticipate how deeply emotional the film would become.

What starts as a madcap adventure turns into a sincere meditation on the meaning of life and prioritizing what’s truly important. It’s about acceptance of yourself and others. Yeoh anchors all the craziness with a steady, nuanced, and thoughtful performance. All her regrets, her what-ifs, her could’ve-beens

are what makes her the perfect hero.

Her utter averageness is the blank slate upon which the multiverse can create its masterpiece, and as Evelyn grapples with the realization that she and her daughter share more in common than she likes to admit, their weaknesses become their strengths. This is a reminder about how great movies can be when they’re willing to break out of Hollywood’s filmmakingby-committee redundancy. What happens when you make a film with a taste of every film genre? This movie is your answer.

Anna Not going to lie—I cried a bunch in this one. Evelyn is weighed down by her life. She’s Sisyphus pushing the boulder up the hill over and over. She sees so much of her potential wasted, lost, unfulfilled. She can’t connect with the people around her, yet she’s desperate for approval from those unwilling to grant it. The mother/daughter struggle really strikes a chord emotionally, as does the tightrope on which Evelyn’s marriage sits. She is paralyzed in her ideas of right and wrong, happiness and misery. Funny and sad and eventually hopeful, this film was a breath of fresh air for me— amusing and moving and wonderfully odd. I loved it. ∆

This new film by director Mimi Cave and writer Lauryn Kahn will give you something to chew on. Noa (Daisy Edgar-Jones) is fed up with modern dating. She commiserates with her bestie, Mollie (Jojo T. Gibbs), and has all but given up on the online dating scene.

Then one evening in a grocery store, she meets Steve (Sebastian Stan). He’s funny, down-to-earth, and best of all, not another self-centered creep.

Their courtship is proceeding as hoped, and then they decide to take a long weekend away, but because “traffic is bad,” they decide to spend the night at Steve’s spacious house and embark in the morning. The fateful decision turns Noa’s world upside down. Soon she’s in for the fight of her life.

From Italy with love

IT’S WHAT’S ON THE INSIDE THAT COUNTS Intricate exterior detailing reflects Florencia’s Breda’s intent to create “little pieces of Murano glass,” an ode to her hometown near Venice.

However, her shells are thin, with assorted fillings containing dark chocolate ganache, creamy purees, nuts, and other local and imported delicacies.

Michelin-star pastry chef Florencia Breda wows customers at Mistura in SLO

T

o be successful in the kitchen, one must possess the appropriate skill set, according to renowned Italian chef Vincenzo Guarino. But to soar, you also need “some kind of attitude, a sort of talent.”

Florencia Breda, his former protégé, “has that kind of thing,” he said. “I believe that she has a huge potential for the passion she puts into her work, for the humility, and the desire to always learn new things.”

While working together for four years at Ristorante Il Pievano in Gaiole, Italy, “we created the ‘Monna Lisa di Cioccolato,’ with seven different types of chocolate, and ‘Guardo il mondo da un oblò,’ two beautiful sweets, which were very much appreciated by customers and critics,” Guarino said. “I think she really has what it takes to conquer the American market and beyond.”

Currently the pastry chef at Mistura in San Luis Obispo, Breda recently launched her own chocolate and pastry shop under the same roof with the enthusiastic support of Nicola Allegretta, co-owner and executive chef of the Peruvian restaurant.

Allegretta, originally from Italy, and his wife, Jackeline, from Peru, also own Mama’s Meatball and Mistura Catering.

All three establishments are located within SLO’s Creamery Marketplace off Higuera Street.

The new venture, Breda Pasticceria e Cioccolateria—or Breda SLO—“is a beautiful project that my pastry chef had in mind for many years,” Allegretta said.

“She always wanted to open a [pastry and chocolate] store, and because times are hard, I proposed to do it in Mistura with a minimum effort because we have all that she needs.”

Allegretta—who has worked at prestigious restaurants throughout Europe, Florida, and California—may also have been motivated by a desire to help a kindred spirit.

Born in Buenos Aires, Breda moved to Italy when she was 2. Her maternal side is Argentinian, while her father’s family is Italian.

“I grew up in Treviso, near Venice.

I attended a pastry school, and when I graduated at 18—when you become of age in Italy—I started to travel all over Europe, to attend professional classes with the best pastry chefs internationally recognized. I worked and studied in England, France, Portugal, Spain, Russia, Abu Dhabi, and Miami,” Breda said “The two key points of my career I would definitely say are, one, when I got hired by [Guarino] to be his pastry chef in the restaurant he took over, where we got awarded with a [Michelin] star,” she said.

L’ARTISTA Six mornings a week, Florencia Breda works her pastry magic in an alcove on the second floor of Mistura before heading down to the restaurant for the remainder of the day.

Say ciao

Breda SLO is located within Mistura at 570 Higuera St., suite 105, in the Creamery Marketplace.

Hours are Tuesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, visit bredaslo.com. Follow the company on Instagram and Facebook @breda_slo.

Guarino has received a Michelin star at four separate Italian restaurants, most recently in 2019 at L’Aria at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Lake Como.

“The second more important moment for me was when I got accepted to do an internship in Miami with Antonio Bachour,” Breda said.

Bachour, originally from Puerto Rico, has repeatedly “been elected best pastry chef in the world,” Breda explained.

“The acceptance email to intern with Bachour was such a surprise,” she continued. “It was a real dream come true. Plus, it was in the States and was a new adventure that I knew could open a lot of doors in my career.”

Breda’s next big career move followed a random trip to Paso Robles in 2017 to cater a vintage cycling event called Eroica California, an offshoot of the L’Eroica (Heroic) cycling event in Italy. The event was founded in 1997 in the Tuscan town of Gaiole—Paso’s “sister city.” Gaiole is the location of Ristorante Il Pievano, where Guarino and Breda worked together.

Guarino was enlisted to cook for the weeklong event and requested that Breda serve as pastry chef.

“The restaurant organizing the catering of that event here was Café Roma,” Breda recalled. “They let us borrow and use their kitchen for the whole week.”

PASTRY PERFECTION Current Breda SLO desserts include, from left, Sottobosco, featuring layers of raspberry, strawberry, passion fruit, hazelnut, and chocolate; carrot cake; Fior di Mandorla, containing almond mousse, coconut sponge cake, and Marsala wine in the pipe; and rose pomegranate mousse with dark chocolate sponge cake.

BELLISSIMI CIOCCOLATINI Breda SLO confections are scratch-made, hand painted, and constantly evolving.

For Easter, hollow white, milk, and dark chocolate eggs and bunnies are filled with signature chocolates. Chicks contain caramel and cookies. For a unique gift, items can be presented in a decorative box with a wooden hammer.

A year later, Café Roma requested Cakes, dessert trays, and other custom Breda’s assistance in developing its new orders can be placed online, and many pastry menu.

Breda says it’s been an honor working After a stint as pastry chef at La alongside exceptional chefs such as Bodega Tapas in Pismo Beach, she joined Guarino, Bachour, and Allegretta, and the Mistura team in January 2020, then she has high hopes for her future. in December 2021 founded Breda SLO.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: September 20, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: 9 in person or via Zoom, in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1050 Monterey Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

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.

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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

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

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

LEGAL NOTICES Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. 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 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-882596-CL. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: 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 an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800-280-2832, or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20882596-CL to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO AMENDMENTS TO SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY CODE, TITLE 8 On April 5, 2022, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 3468 wherein it updated references, deleted outdated code sections, and made other clean up and reorganizational changes to Title 8, Chapters 8.04, 8.06, 8.08, 8.12, 8.16, 8.30, 8.54, 8.60, and 8.62 of the County Code regarding the County Environmental Health Services Division, by the following roll call to wit: AYES:

Supervisors Dawn Ortiz-Legg, Lynn Compton, John Peschong, Debbie Arnold and Chairperson Bruce S. Gibson NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAINING: None The ordinance amendments shall become effective on May 5, 2022.

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS Chapter 8.04 – Food and Drink Establishments The amendments to Chapter 8.04: • Delete any outdated sections that are preempted

by State law.

• Clean up permit requirements and enforcement and appeal process sections.

• Add a definition for Environmental Health Services Division (“EHS”) Director and designates EHS as the local enforcement agency.

• Formalize EHS’s existing process of posting Notice of Closures on food facilities closed for no permit or health risk.

• Formalize the annual mobile food facility inspection process where a permit sticker is affixed to each mobile food facility.

• Clarify that fees can be collected for unlicensed complaint investigations when enforcement or other follow up actions are required Chapter 8.06 – Plan Approval The amendments to chapter 8.06 consolidate: 1. The existing plan review and health permit requirements for all facilities regulated by EHS; 2. The permit and cost recovery fee system; and 3. The due process enforcement procedures for refusing, suspending or revoking a health permit.

The amendments also provide for a cost recovery for Hazardous Incident Response Team incidents and other unlicensed enforcement activities.

Chapter 8.08 – Seasonal Farm Labor Camps This chapter was deleted because it is governed by 1986 amendments to the United States Department of Labor Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (codified at 29 U.S.C. §§ 1801-1872). 29 U.S.C. §1823 states that housing for migrant agricultural workers must meet applicable California Health and Safety standards and have a Certificate of Occupancy.

Chapter 8.12 – Solid Waste Management Minor amendments to update outdated California Health and Safety Code section numbers referenced in the definitions of Medical Solid Waste and the definition of Medical Waste.

Chapter 8.16 – Septic Tank Trucks The amendments update permitting requirements by referencing the newly revised chapter 8.06 for health permit requirements. They also formalize current inspection standards for septic trucks pertaining to sanitary equipment and practices, labeling, proper disposal, inspection and reporting.

Chapter 8.30 – Cross-Connections Control and Inspections Amendments to this chapter include adding and updating terminology, including reference to backflow prevention equipment as “assemblies” rather than “devices”.

The amendments also codify the existing practice of requiring adherence to the San Luis Obispo County Cross-Connection Program Policy and Procedures and requiring cross connection control testers submit current reports of calibration of their testing equipment when submitting certificates of training from recognized providers before a County issued identification card is provided.

Chapter 8.54 – Enforcement-Citation Authority The amendment to this chapter clarifies that the citation authority is for violations of Title 8 of the County Code.

Chapter 8.60 – Public Swimming Pools The amendments clarify that the Health Officer and EHS enforce state public swimming pool standards and codifies the long-standing process of posting a Notice of Closure on public swimming pools and spas that are closed for health risk or for not having a valid health permit.

Chapter 8.62 – Organized Camps The amendments clarify that the Health Officer and EHS enforce state organized camp standards and updates the reference to chapter 8.06 for permitting requirements in addition to the outdated California Health and Safety Code section referenced in the definition of Organized Camp.

Certified copies of the full text of the ordinance amendments may be purchased at reproduction cost or reviewed without charge in the San Luis Obispo County Administrative Office, 1055 Monterey St., Room #D430, County Government Center, San Luis Obispo, California 93408, or on the County’s website slocounty.ca.gov.

(March 21-April 19): “I have lived my life according to this principle: If I’m afraid of it, then I must do it.” Aries author Erica Jong said that. Since I’m not an Aries myself, her aspiration is too strong for me to embrace. Sometimes I just don’t have the courage, willpower, and boldness to do what I fear. But since you decided to be born as an Aries in this incarnation, I assume you are more like Erica Jong than me. And so it’s your birthright and sacred duty to share her perspective. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to carry out another phase of this lifelong assignment.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A team of biologists unearthed a fascinating discovery in Costa Rica. When the group planted a single tree in pastureland that had no trees, biodiversity increased dramatically. For example, in one area, there were no bird species before the tree and 80 species after the tree. I suspect you can create a similar change in the coming weeks.

A small addition, even just one new element, could generate significant benefits. One of those perks might be an increase in the diversity you engage with.

You owe it nothing. Your energy should be devoted to liberating yourself so you can plan your rebirth with aplomb.

(May 21-June 20): “I am very much afraid of definitions, and yet one is almost forced to make them,” wrote painter Robert Delaunay (1885-1941). “One must take care, too, not to be inhibited by them,” he concluded. He was speaking of the art he created, which kept evolving. In his early years, he considered his work to be neo-impressionist. Later he described himself as a “heretic of cubism,” and during other periods he dabbled with surrealism and abstract art. Ultimately, he created his own artistic category, which he called Orphism.

Everything I just said about Delaunay can serve you well in the coming months, Gemini. I think you’ll be wise to accept definitions for yourself, while at the same time not being overly bound by them. That should ultimately lead you, later this year, to craft your own unique personal definition.

(June 21-July 22): As a postgraduate student in astronomy, Cancerian-born Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered radio pulsars in 1967. Her supervisor, who initially dismissed her breakthrough, was awarded the Nobel Prize for her work in 1974—and she wasn’t! Nevertheless, she persisted.

Eventually, she became a renowned astronomer who championed the efforts of minority researchers. Among the 25 prestigious awards and honors she has received is a $3 million prize. I urge you to aspire to her level of perseverance in the coming months. It may not entirely pay off until 2023, but it will pay off.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards,” wrote author Oscar Wilde. Let’s make that your motto for the next six weeks. If life could be symbolized by a game of poker, you would have the equivalent of at least a pair of jacks and a pair of queens.

You may even have a full house, like three 10s and two kings. Therefore, as Wilde advised, there’s no need for you to scrimp, cheat, tell white lies, or pretend. Your best strategy will be to be bold, forthright, and honest as you make your moves.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “In all the land, there is only one you, possibly two, but seldom more than 16,” said comedian and actor Amy Sedaris. She was making a sardonic joke about the possibility that none of us may be quite as unique as we imagine ourselves to be. But I’d like to mess with her joke and give it a positive tweak. If what Sedaris says is true, then it’s likely that we all have soul twins somewhere in the world. It means that there are numerous people who share many of our perspectives and proclivities; that we might find cohorts who see us for who we really are. I bring these thoughts to your attention, Virgo, because I suspect the coming months will be an excellent time for meeting and playing with such people.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Smallpox has been eliminated thanks to vaccination, but it was once among the most feared diseases.

Over the course of many centuries, it maimed or killed hundreds of millions of people. For 35 percent of those who contracted it, it was fatal. As for the survivors, their skin had permanent scars from the blisters that erupted. As disfiguring as those wounds were, they were evidence that a person was immune from future infections. That’s why employers were more likely to hire them as workers. Their pockmarks gave them an advantage. I believe this is a useful metaphor for you. In the coming weeks, you will have an advantage because of one of your apparent liabilities or imperfections or “scars.” Don’t be shy about using your unusual asset.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian author Pearl Cleage sets the tone for the future I hope you’ll seek in the coming weeks.

The Black feminist activist writes, “We danced too wild, and we sang too long, and we hugged too hard, and we kissed too sweet, and howled just as loud as we wanted to howl.”

Are you interested in exploring such blithe extravagance, Sagittarius? Do you have any curiosity about how you might surpass your previous records for rowdy pleasure? I hope you will follow Cleage’s lead in your own inimitable style.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I can never rest from tenderness,” wrote author Virginia Woolf. I won’t ask you to be as intense as her, Capricorn. I won’t urge you to be constantly driven to feel and express your tenderness. But I hope you will be focused on doing so in the coming weeks. Why? Because the astrological omens suggest it will be “in your self-interest to find a way to be very tender.” (That’s a quote by aphorist Jenny Holzer.)

For inspiration, consider trying this experiment proposed by Yoko Ono: “Try to say nothing negative about anybody: a) for three days; b) for 45 days; c) for three months.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I gamble everything to be what I am,” wrote Puerto Rican feminist and activist poet Julia de Burgos, born under the sign of Aquarius. Her gambles weren’t always successful. At one point, she was fired from her job as a writer for a radio show because of her progressive political beliefs. On the other hand, many of her gambles worked well. She earned awards and recognition for her five books of poetry and garnered high praise from superstar poet Pablo Neruda. I offer her as your role model, Aquarius. The rest of 2022 will be a fertile time to gamble everything to be what you are. Here’s a further suggestion: Gamble everything to become what you don’t yet know you must become.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean jazz saxophonist and composer Ornette Coleman was a trailblazer. He created the genre known as free jazz, which messed with conventional jazz ideas about tempos, melodies, and harmonies. In the course of his career, he won a Pulitzer Prize, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and MacArthur Fellowship “genius” grant. He was a technical virtuoso, but there was more to his success, too. Among his top priorities were emotional intensity and playful abandon and pure joy. That’s why, on some of his recordings, he didn’t hire famous jazz drummers, but instead had his son, who was still a child, play the drum parts. I suggest you apply an approach like Coleman’s to your own upcoming efforts. ∆
