SLO County to create new Homeless Division, homelessness strategy

obody who spoke at the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors meeting on April 19 tried to argue that the problem hasn’t gotten worse. As county and city leaders discussed the state of homelessness—and new possible strategies to address it—officials acknowledged that the county’s previous 10-year plan to “end homelessness,” as it was titled in 2008, fell well short. “People have not been sitting on their hands— there have been important investments ... the problem is scale of effort,” said Susan Funk, an Atascadero City Council member and the SLO County Homeless Services Oversight Council chair. “Essentially, we brought a garden hose to a house fire, and we’re going to need to scale up in new and larger ways.” SLO County supervisors hope that hitting the reset button on its broader homelessness strategy will help. At the April 19 meeting, the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved several new initiatives on homelessness—including establishing a dedicated Homeless Division within the Department of Social Services; exploring opening a Homeless Operations Center near its safe parking site on Oklahoma Avenue; finalizing a new five-year plan on homelessness; and creating a citizens homeless oversight committee. “With a citizens oversight committee and a new direction with an organizational chart that actually makes sense, I think we can actually get some things done,” 1st District Supervisor John Peschong said at the meeting. According to the county’s new five-year plan, homelessness is growing locally, outpacing investments in shelter and services. While the plan states that the county has managed to expand its year-round shelter capacity by 73 percent since 2018, there are still only enough beds to cover 20 to 30 percent of the total unsheltered homeless population as counted in 2019. The county’s 2022 Point-in-Time count is not yet available—its release is scheduled for May 1—but officials are expecting a substantial uptick. “In the last two years, we’ve had a 39 percent statewide increase in homeless individuals,” Peschong said. “I believe on May 1, we’re going to find out how bad it is in our county.” Funk said that the county has a pretty good

Pismo Beach Councilmember Newton criticized for coastal plan amendment

A Pismo Beach City Councilmember is under fire for requesting to amend the local coastal plan (LCP) in order to personally benefit from the changes. Councilmember Scott Newton sought Planning Commission and City Council approvals for a coastal development permit to construct a single-family residence at 171 Naomi Ave. But the move catalyzed a separate request for a general plan update to eliminate development restrictions such as being situated

STRATEGY RESET San Luis Obispo County is updating its strategy on homelessness, proposing a five-year plan that includes establishing a new division dedicated to the issue.

idea that the crisis is worsening based on other data available. “We do know that the number of people signing up to receive services has been exceeding the number of people flowing out of that system by almost 200 people a year the last two years,” Funk said. “It’s confirmed what we see with our own eyes, that this problem continues to grow.” SLO County’s rising housing costs are a factor: Rents soared 46 percent since 2016, according to the plan. That’s forced the median local household to spend 38 percent of its income on housing. Studies show that the risk of homelessness spikes when rental costs exceed 30 percent of household income, Funk said. The county’s new plan aims to offer a roadmap to reducing countywide homelessness by 50 percent in five years. The strategies include “rapidly expanding” emergency shelter options, including adding more “non-congregate temporary shelters,” like shelter cabins, tiny homes, and safe parking. It also highlights a need to improve the data and tracking system that’s used countywide to assist homeless people, to “see the movement of unhoused individuals more accurately through the service/housing ‘pipeline.’” It also cites the need for more brick-and-mortar locations where

those experiencing homelessness can go to find a variety of services—proposing the creation of a new County Homeless Operations Center at a county building near its current safe parking site on Oklahoma Avenue. “While centralized navigation already exists at the three homeless shelters operated by our [nonprofit] partners, the need for such services often exceeds their capabilities, and they are not fully postured to reach into the unincorporated areas far from their shelter base locations,” a county staff report read. Within two years of the final adoption of the plan, the county also promises to establish a new Homeless Division under its Department of Social Services, which will be able to better leverage staffing and resources and improve communication, according to the plan. While supervisors called those initiatives just “a first step,” they expressed optimism that a renewed regional effort to address the crisis could be successful. “We’re dealing with a situation that is tough,” Peschong said. “But if we don’t head this off right now, we’re going to get to a place where we’re not going to be able to fix this. I think the only way we get out of this is if we all work together on it.” Δ —Peter Johnson

on an irregularly shaped lot that could hamper the proposed construction project. Though the majority of the City Council greenlit both requests at the April 19 meeting—with Newton recusing himself prior to the hearings— Councilmember Sheila Blake voted against the requests. “I don’t understand why we’re going through this now when we’re already supposed to be reviewing the LCP [local coastal plan],” Blake said at the meeting. “I don’t like the appearance of this. For me, it doesn’t pass the smell test.” Blake added that she didn’t want to amend the LCP for a single applicant, especially when it’s supposed to be reviewed by the California Coastal Commission first. She dismissed

the notion that waiting for the general plan update instead would leave the applicant with escalating construction costs. In January, Newton sought advice from the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) about his involvement in his family’s trust and that he planned to purchase the Naomi Avenue property from the trust. The FPPC recommended that he recuse himself and abstain from participating in any decision pertaining to the trust’s application for new construction and general plan amendment.

Commissioner Adam Werner. In it, Werner stated that he was planning to submit a timeline of events to the FPPC detailing Newton’s actions related to the Naomi Avenue construction. “Upon reading Councilman Scott Newton’s own words, I feel even the most naïve individual would find it difficult to find there is no appearance of impropriety in this matter regardless of Mr. Newton’s intentions,” Werner’s letter stated. Werner said that his timeline elaborated on events that the FPPC wasn’t fully made aware of. One such event is Newton’s December 2021 vote to suspend now-former Planning Commissioner Stacy Inman for 30 days regarding her recusal from a separate development project. An attorney, Inman represented the project owner and refused to elaborate on her reason for recusal in order to uphold client confidentiality. Werner’s letter stated that while Newton brought his application forward for Planning Commission discussion when Inman was away, he didn’t do so when she returned in February. Inman’s term on the Planning Commission expired at the end of February, and the application went back before commissioners after her replacement took over in March. Werner resigned from the Planning Commission in protest of Inman’s suspension. “Asking for a change to the general plan is not illegal, it is just unusual and taken within the entire fact pattern, contributes to the possible appearance of impropriety,” Werner’s letter read. “Even if their decision to remove the project from [a Planning Commission] meeting is innocuous, this decision, as well as their previous and subsequent actions, contribute to the appearance that Mr. Newton did not want Ms. Inman to vote on this project. As to why that might be the case, one is left only to speculate.” Newton told New Times that he didn’t want to comment on the issue. —Bulbul Rajagopal

Commercial fishers talk offshore wind concerns

Offshore wind energy is one step closer to becoming a reality on the Central Coast, and with it, hundreds of potential jobs and renewable energy generation that will be much needed when the Diablo Canyon Power Plant closes. But the local commercial fishing industry continues to raise concerns over how such an undertaking will impact their livelihoods. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) released its draft environmental assessment for leasing the Morro Bay Wind Energy Area earlier this month, and heard public comment on the report at an April 14 meeting. Further environmental assessment will be required before a wind farm project is actually approved and built—this draft just looks at the impacts of the leasing process. “We expect to publish a proposed sale notice this spring,” Acting Renewable Energy Section Chief Jennifer Miller said at the meeting. “However, steel in the water is still a number of years away and engineering challenges do await us.” The environmental assessment details the potential impacts of the offshore wind leasing process on marine and coastal

habitats, commercial fishing, tourism, and other areas. “Data collection buoys and vessel traffic associated with [offshore wind leasing] may generate space-use conflicts and interfere with fishing operations by creating areas no longer accessible as fishing grounds, reducing fishing efficiency, and/or causing economic losses associated with gear entanglement,” BOEM’s environmental assessment states. The report concludes that potential impacts to commercial fishing from the leasing process are expected to be “minor and temporary in duration (five years or less)” and will impact an area that is “comparatively small in size when compared to the full extent of available fishing grounds.” But some local commercial fishers are concerned about what happens after those five years of “minor and temporary” impacts. Per BOEM’s process, only after a lease is issued will a site assessment be conducted to “determine the suitability of the leases for commercial offshore wind production and transmission,” Miller said. “You say that we’re not there yet, we don’t know enough about the project to be able to do these other more full-scale assessments,” Steve Scheiblauer with the Alliance of Communities for Sustainable Fisheries said during public comment. “But respectfully, I think that’s at best a half-truth. … We know enough to readily foresee a lot of impacts, and probably especially for the commercial fishing industry.” Lisa Gilbane, a BOEM biologist, acknowledged the impacts the leasing process will have on fisheries. But BOEM officials maintained that it’s too early in the process to conduct further assessment. “The space use conflicts are relatively low,” Gilbane said. “However, talking about commercial fishing in one breath is too high level. We do acknowledge that different fisheries, specifically the ones that focus more in the 900 to 1,300 meter water, will have interactions and impacts from our activities, even at a leasing stage.” While the bulk of public commenters at the meeting were concerned about commercial fishing industry impacts, others commended BOEM for embarking on the long and bureaucratically arduous process of bringing offshore wind to the Central Coast. “I think it’s going to do a lot of benefit to mitigate climate change and contribute to the renewable energy sector in California,” said public commenter Kenneth Gluck. “… Obviously there’s mitigating that needs to be addressed, specifically fishing, marine mammals, sea bottom habitat, things of that nature. But we do have a good opportunity in Morro Bay to go forward with this project.” —Malea Martin

SLO city to seek local labor agreements on big-dollar projects

With major capital projects like a new parking garage, highway interchange, and police station on the horizon, the San Luis Obispo City Council is hoping to ensure that local labor gets hired to work those jobs. At its April 19 meeting, the City Council voted unanimously to direct staff to pursue community workforce

6 • New Times • April 21 - April 28, 2022 • www.newtimesslo.com

agreements (CWAs) for those three projects—whose combined construction costs are expected to exceed $150 million. “We don’t want to spend millions and millions and tens of millions of city taxpayer dollars on a project where the vast majority of the money goes to workers who aren’t going to be locals,” City Councilmember Carlyn Christianson said. “That happened on a few projects in the past, and that was not good.” CWAs are “pre-hire collective bargaining agreements between the city and contractors” for public projects, according to an April 19 city staff report. “A CWA establishes standard terms and conditions of employment for workers … including work conditions, hiring procedures, wages and benefits, management rights, dispute resolution procedures, and procedures to prevent work stoppages,” according to the report. A city analysis of past SLO projects and the types of labor used showed that for most capital projects, local contractors won construction bids and hired mostly local workers. It’s the larger, more complex projects that typically draw out-of-area contractors and labor, SLO Public Works Director Matt Horn told New Times. “Looking at our recent project delivery from 2018 to present, we’re doing a real good job at engaging our local contractors, who are using local workers to construct the cities’ projects,” Horn said. “Some of the bigger dollar construction, some of our percentage points were a bit lower. That’s kind of where we focused in on.” In 2019, SLO adopted its first-ever CWA on its wastewater treatment plant project, which is still under construction. According to the city, workers from Monterey, SLO, Santa Barbara, or Ventura counties have accounted for 79 percent of hours worked on that project thus far. The City Council directed staff to adopt similar agreements for its three major upcoming capital projects—a new downtown parking garage, a highway interchange at Prado Road, and a new police station. Critics of CWAs argue that the agreements raise project costs and favor union workers over non-union workers. Horn acknowledged that CWAs do come with overhead administrative costs, but they also provide the benefit of local labor. “It’s a trade-off question,” Horn said. “Anytime that the city comes in and says this is the preferred methodology you must follow, it’s harder for everyone. We’re taking it to council to make sure that they have the information they need to help us make that decision, and reflect the community’s values.” —Peter Johnson

Anderson, explaining our need and how severe the affordable housing shortage is already here in San Luis Obispo,” HASLO Execute Director Scott Smith said. “Our concern is losing this housing because there are 68 very, very affordable apartments in the Anderson right now. To lose those would be a huge setback considering the epidemic of homelessness we have going on in the county and the state.” The $2 million amount for the Anderson comes from American Rescue Plan funds. Through Carbajal’s advocacy, Rescue Plan funds for nine Central Coast projects across SLO and Santa Barbara counties total $17 million. On April 22, Carbajal will visit the Anderson and its residents. “Last year, the chair of the House Committee on Appropriations announced the committee would accept community project funding requests from members of Congress. Each member was limited to submitting no more than 10 community project funding requests for fiscal year 2022 and there was no guarantee all requested projects would be funded,” Ian Mariani, Carbajal’s communications director, told New Times via email. “Projects were restricted to a limited number of federal funding streams, and only state and local governments and eligible nonprofit entities are permitted to receive funding.” But a HASLO acquisition will require some work. Nearing 100 years, the Anderson is bracing itself for extensive reconstruction work. Smith told New Times that roughly $22 million would be required for “seismic work, plumbing, and electrical work.” “It would be the minimal amount that we need to raise in order to be acceptable to us to own it on a long-term basis and own it,” Smith said. He added that SLO County also committed an additional $2 million to HASLO’s budgetary goal. In fact, Smith estimated the actual purchasing price of the Anderson to be only half of the renovation cost. “It’s a complicated building. There aren’t many buildings like that in San Luis Obispo,” he said. “We’ve been operating it under a master lease on the property. But it’s gotten more and more difficult because as the building ages, it needs work. I think the owners realize that, and we MUSIC just couldn’t continue master leasing it without major updates.” Residents of the Anderson pay 30 FLAVOR/EATS percent of their income as rent. Instead of fully committing the incoming funds to ongoing repairs, Smith hopes to use INFO some of it to provide more robust care for residents like appointing a service CALENDAR coordinator. He added that Carbajal asked for the meeting at the Anderson to interact with residents.

hen asked when fire season officially starts, SLO County Fire Safe Council Executive Director Dan Turner couldn’t help but chuckle. Thanks to climate change, he said, fire season is practically year-round in California. “Typically in San Luis Obispo County, you start experiencing fires mid-April out on the east side of the county, which dries out a lot faster,” Turner said. “It will go through November—that’s kind of historically typical.” But in recent decades, the rainy season has changed dramatically, and with it, the fire season. This year, Turner said, January was particularly dry. No rain, plus unseasonably warm weather and windy conditions create the perfect storm for fires. “What we’re seeing now is that it stopped raining earlier than April, and it starts raining later than October,” Turner said. “So the dry season, the non-rainy FIRE HAZARD Local fire safe councils and season, has gotten longer.” fire departments are using state grant money Fire safe councils and fire to bolster fire mitigation and education on the departments across the Central Central Coast.

Opinion BY DR. STEVE VAN SCOY, DR. BRAD KNOX, AND DR. NIHAL NACCASHA

Duplication isn’t better Two NICUs in such a small community will reduce quality of care and increase cost

ealth care is an important concern for all citizens, and we must demand both the highest and safest level of quality care. Fortunately, Tenet Health Central Coast is one of the nation’s safest and most elite hospitals (from nationally recognized independent sources, such as The Joint Commission, Health Grades, The Leapfrog Group, to name a few), an amazing honor that lends even more significance to living in such a breathtaking region. As physicians who practice at Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center, we are privileged to offer high-quality care to all residents. But the quality of the county’s outstanding health care is in danger of diminishing. We understand that French Hospital Medical Center—less than 2 miles from Sierra Vista—plans to build a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at their facility. While we agree that competition is good in most cases, this type of duplicative competition in a county as small as ours will be detrimental to patients and the community. Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center’s Level III NICU has given advanced newborn intensive care to the tiniest, most vulnerable patients—a level of care rarely found in communities the size of San Luis Obispo County. To have the safest outcomes and not put babies at risk, it must have a high volume of babies. In addition to the NICU, Sierra Vista specializes in high-risk pregnancy and offers the county’s only obstetric hospitalist program and pediatric unit. We believe two NICUs in a small community will prevent both facilities from providing the safest outcomes for the babies. This would be devastating for our community. It really is a matter of life or death. Here are some important facts to consider: • The NICU in our county has been at only 50 percent of facility capacity going back 10 years—even as the only NICU and even while caring for babies transferred from neighboring hospitals so they do not have to go outside the county—meaning that there simply are not enough babies needing intensive care to warrant another program. • The more a hospital performs a surgical procedure, the safer it is. Many reports dating as far back as 1979 identify a link between higher mortality rates (more deaths) and low surgical volume (less experience with a particular operation) (JAMA Pediatrics, August 2015). • Having a highly honored hospital helps with the recruitment and retention of highly trained and skilled physicians of all disciplines. Studies show that physicians seek areas that strive for quality and provide outstanding opportunities. As SLO County’s trauma center and only hospital with 24/7/365 pediatric and obstetrics physician hospitalists, Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center is

directly accountable to the community it serves. Volunteers and patient advocates make up Sierra Vista’s board of directors, along with physicians, and promote patient safety to ensure that Sierra Vista provides the highest quality care possible. This is evident in the hospital’s more than 50 awards in patient safety and satisfaction and in recognition of excellent outcomes for quality patient care. Sierra Vista provides cutting-edge, nationally acclaimed innovations such as the NicView, Tele-ER, the first accredited Advanced Mechanical Thrombectomy Center in San Luis Obispo County, and has been recognized with the IBCLC Award for maternity care and support, putting Sierra Vista in the top 2 percent of community hospitals in the nation. Since opening its NICU in 1986, Sierra Vista has taken care of about 7,000 high-risk newborn babies. This high volume has created an experienced, welleducated, local team that is prepared for any newborn crisis. What are we risking by adding a new NICU? • We risk increasing health care costs locally. Duplication of services means a duplication of costly, highly specialized equipment and staff, resulting in increased health care costs for the patient. • We risk mediocre care and higher mortality rates. No one can be the expert if volume for any program goes down. With two NICUs, each team gets less experience. National data indicates mediocre care contributes to poorer outcomes in general and ultimately higher mortality rates. • We risk losing our physicians. If overall quality of care decreases or there is a loss of opportunity, physicians across disciplines might leave the area entirely. • We risk losing a quality neonatal intensive care program. Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center has worked hard to become an elite center for care; it is not something that happens overnight, and the community already has too much of a vested interest in the quality of NICU services to let it fail now. It’s simple: Two hospitals each with their own specialized NICU programs in such a small community will increase local health care costs, reduce quality of care, and hurt retention of our best and brightest physicians. That’s a price too expensive to pay. ∆

A little help for our four-legged friends

Anyone watching the news and seeing how fleeing Ukranians are carrying their beloved animals in their coats, in carriers, or on leashes—making sure their pets stay with them—understands the strength of the bond between families and their companion animals. In the U.S., it’s the same. Companion animals are a part of the family and loved dearly. Unfortunately these days, there are families who struggle financially in caring for their four-legged friends. A new group in SLO County is trying to change this situation. It’s called Snip & Chip SLO. SLO County nonprofits Animal Shelter Adoption Partners and Animals In Need along with Santa Barbara-based C.A.R.E 4 Paws have come together to offer a new program to curb pet overpopulation, prevent homelessness and euthanasia of adoptable animals, and improve animal welfare in SLO County. Through a series of clinics offered in the county, low-income and underserved families can sign up for free or low cost spay/neuters, low cost vaccines, flea treatment, dewormers, nail trims, and microchips (which reunite families with their lost pets). The response from the community has been great. At the most recent clinic on April 10, more than 100 pets benefited from the services offered, and another 38 animals were spayed and neutered. In fact, there is currently a significant waiting list for spay and neuter appointments. In the short term, families get needed care for their beloved pets. In addition, we all get a huge long-term benefit. The more animals that have been spayed or neutered, the fewer

animals that will end up in shelters, thus reducing animal homelessness. This program exists because of the dedication of the Snip & Chip SLO partners and the generosity of the community. We desperately want to continue and expand this program. In order to make this a sustainable effort, we need even more community support. You can find out what we are all about at our website: snipslo.org. If you would like to make a donation, click the “Donate” button at that site. We hope that you will support us to ensure that we can continue to help families and their pets in SLO County. Terry Parry Animal Shelter Adoption Partners Arroyo Grande

Questions for county clerk-recorder candidates

I read with interest a recent article in New Times regarding the office of county clerk-recorder (“Creator of SLO County redistricting map questioned local election’s ‘validity,’ sought ballot and voter records,” April 7). Richard Patten—whose redistricting map earned the support of a majority of the SLO County Board of Supervisors last year—is alleging local election fraud in the 2021 recall election against Gov. Gavin Newsom. According to the article, Patten lamented, without providing evidence, that “blatant examples of election infractions” were found in SLO County, which put the recall election’s “validity in question.” Second District Supervisor Bruce Gibson was quoted as saying, “Patten seems to be pretty clearly pushing the Big LETTERS continued page 14

The Shredder

Transparent theories

ichard Patten. What a guy! He was back at it on April 19 at the SLO County Board of Supervisors meeting. Only this time he wasn’t advocating for his gerrymandered redistricting map, because we’re using it in the June primary. Now, he’s advocating on behalf of the Big Lie. I guess he finally feels safe sharing his “theories” about elections in SLO County with the general public. He’s letting his freak flag fly, and I only wonder why he didn’t do it sooner—like seven months ago—because it really would have helped Team Anything But The Patten Map in the run-up to the supervisors vote on a final redistricting map last fall. I think. I hope? Patten is deep in conspiracy land, so deep, in fact, that he didn’t even know exactly what he was sharing with the Board of Supervisors during his April 19 public comment. He put up a slide and basically said: “See, I caught them. Election fraud!” But what he said his slide was showing—ballots being counted faster than the speed of light—wasn’t actually what it was showing. “In 36 seconds, 4,400 ballots were injected into the system,” Patten said. “That’s a physical impossibility.” How exactly does one “inject” ballots into a system. With a syringe? Actually, Clerk-Recorder’s Office Deputy Registrar Melissa Lile explained, it takes hours and hours to hand-count

batches of adjudicated ballots and scan them into the system. What his slide was showing was the office changing the status of the ballots already scanned and sitting in the system. However, resident dais conspiracy enable-ist 5th District Supervisor Debbie “They’re Banking Water And Maybe Committing Election Fraud, Too” Arnold wasn’t sure she liked the answer. “I don’t know,” she said. “I still feel anytime a citizen comes forward with anything that has to do with election, it just triggers my thoughts that I’ve been having all along.” What exactly does it trigger? Fear of the internet and technology? I bet ballots are counted more accurately by machine than they ever were by the human eye— “to err is human” and all that. Arnold proceeded to allude without specificity to myriad theories that contribute to the overarching Big Lie perpetuated by her friend, The Donald. She insisted, though, “It has nothing to do with the way we in this county operate our elections.” If only the county, which isn’t doing anything wrong, could audit more than 1 percent of its ballots after the election, she said. Really? Auditing 2 percent of ballots isn’t going to ease the mind of the troubled lot Arnold answers to. Lile literally just explained that what Patten believed was evidence of fraud was

Prepare yourselves, Paso! This is The Boxmasters’ first time through our neck of the woods. “We can’t wait to play that show up there,” Billy Bob said. There, I said his name.

Academy Awardwinner screenwriter and famed actor Billy Bob Thornton brings his band to BarrelHouse Brewing

The Siren

On Sunday, April 24, Numbskull and Good Medicine bring rapper/producer Dizzy Wright on his Smoke Out Conversations Tour to The Siren (doors at 7:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; $20 to $170 on eventbrite.com). Also this week at The Siren, see the Traveling Songwriters Tour featuring Charlie McNeal, Kenny Curcio, and Jack McKeon on Thursday, April 21 (7 to 9 p.m.; 21-and-older; free). They create Nashville Writers Round, where they swap songs. Get a dose of the Cal Poly college scene on Friday, April 22, when The Honeyboys play The Siren (7:30 to 11 p.m.; 21-and-older; $10 at eventbrite. com) with openers with Couch Dog and Buppy. Some garage rock for your listening pleasure! Scott Cooper & the Rosebud Band bring their Grateful Dead-inspired sounds to The Siren on Saturday, April 23 (8:340 to 11 p.m.; 21-and-older; free). “The band mixes luscious three-part vocal harmonies with adventurous jams and infectious grooves,” they said.

t’s almost as if Billy Bob Thornton didn’t want to capitalize on his fame as a screenwriter and actor. The band he formed with long-time musical partner J.D. Andrew lists his name as W.R. Thornton, and when his publicist puts him and Andrew on the phone, you’re told, “OK, you have Bud and J.D. on the line.” But there’s no mistaking that deep, resonant voice with its hint of Arkansas atmosphere. Formed in 2007, The Boxmasters have a dozen albums out, a sizable cult following, and a brand new album in Help … I’m Alive, from which they’ll draw when they play at a Numbskull and Good Medicine show on Wednesday, April 27, at BarrelHouse Brewing (doors at 6 p.m.; all ages; $28 to $30 presale at eventbrite.com). “On our first two records, we did this hillbilly rockabilly stuff that was a stylized thing,” Bud explained. “We were kind of doing ‘what if Frank Zappa did this?’ Now, for all the rest of our albums, we just started sounding the way we naturally do, which is British Invasion, Memphis, Southern California pop—you know, The Band, The Beatles, and The Byrds.” Where’d the title come from? “We made the record during the lockdown, and you know how people will say, ‘Help, I’m drowning?’ At the time we were thinking of a humorous, ironic title, which was ‘Help, I’m living in these times,’” Bud continued. Is the album pandemic related? “There are a couple that are loosely based on the pandemic but also other social issues, like how people are being so separated these days, and people are drawing lines in the sand, and then we’ve got some that are, you know, like any rock ’n’ roll record—about girls. It’s loosely thematic, but it’s just a rock ’n’ roll record, and we’re very proud of it,” Bud said. Bud and J.D. are prolific songwriters who meld their musical interests into a polished pop rock air with harmony vocals and a big sound. “As the years have gone by, we’ve taken all those influences and just written songs how we would write them, as if we were a band that was in 1965,” J.D. explained. Help … I’m alive is actually the band’s second pandemic record. They first recorded Nothing Personal, which has yet to be released and which J.D. called more “moody and about isolation.” “After we did that, we needed a little more release, a bit more fun on the next one. Then we thought, we need to do another Christmas record because we haven’t done one of those in about 12

years,” J.D. continued, “so we recorded a Christmas album [Christmas in California] real quick. We made the most of only being able to go to home to studio and back again. “Billy writes all the lyrics,” J. D. continued, momentarily forgetting the “Bud” or “W.R.” ruse, “and to be honest, our band members used to joke we’d write a song every time they turned their back, and now it’s even worse than that.” It helps that Bud has a new house with a new recording studio. “In the four or five month since we’ve had that, we’ve written and recorded close to 30 songs,” J.D. said. “We recorded one whole album and mixed it a few days before we started rehearsal for the tour, and we’ve got at least another one or two records ready, sitting there, that we’ve got to finish off when we get back.” Bud, who played in bands throughout middle and high school and who was a roadie for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Johnny Paycheck, said music is what he loves and that he never intended to become a movie star, but here he is. What’s a live show like? “We’re a full band,” Bud said. “There’re two guitars, bass, drums, and lead vocals. It’s regular rock ’n’ roll band size. We used to take a keyboard player with us, but we’re more of a guitar band, and we found that keyboards—live especially—just kind of made a noise in the middle. J.D. plays keys on our albums and pulls out a Mellotron when we’re on tour.” Bud—who I should mention is funny, charming, and humble—is generous with

his audiences, too. “We’re pretty interactive with the audience,” Bud claimed. “Some people get up there and just rattle off 15 or 20 songs, say ‘thank you very much’ and go home, but we usually talk to the audience, maybe explain the genesis of a song. “We’ve got a pretty great cult following across the country, and most people who come to our shows are familiar with our music or have our records,” Bud added, “but the ones who don’t know sometimes assume we’re a country rock band, and they’re usually in for a surprise because we’re a loud-ass rock ’n’ roll band.” PHOTO COURTESY OF JENNY RISHER

NO MORE MR. NICE GUY Shock rocker Alice Cooper opens the Vina Robles Amphitheatre concert season on April 23.

Vina season opens

The Vina Robles Amphitheatre kicks off its concert season this Saturday, April 23, with shock rocker Alice Cooper (7 p.m.; $60 to $295 at ticketmaster. com) and special guest Ace Frehley (of Kiss). My older sister played Cooper’s 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies over and over, so as an 11-year-old, I learned to love songs like “Raped and Freezin’,” “Sick Things,” “I Love the Dead,” and the record’s biggest hit, “No More Mr. Nice Guy.” Cooper’s touring in support of his newest, 2021’s Detroit Stories.

Central Coast Film Society recognizes winners of third annual Student Showcase

Students from various local high schools were awarded with scholarships at the Central Coast Film Society’s third annual Student Showcase, which was held at San Luis Obispo High School in the beginning of April. Each winner was a participant of this year’s Student Film and Digital Media Arts Competition and had the opportunity to show their submissions during the showcase. In press materials, the Central Coast Film Society’s board president, Sarah Risley, described the event as the chance “to give local creators a platform to show their creative works, and reward them for their talents.” A total of 175 submissions were reviewed by a panel of judges and narrowed down to a group of finalists. Entries ranged from students based in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Monterey counties, and the judges of the competition were Alan Fraser, co-founder of the Cambria Film Festival; Chachi Ramirez, owner of the Guadalupe Royal Theater; and Chris Hite, a film professor at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria. Daniel Lahr, executive director of the Central Coast Film Society, gave a “a huge thank you to the teachers, mentors, and judges” involved with the competition. “Your hard work and insights are building the next generation of filmmakers, screenwriters, and photographers,” Lahr said in a statement. The contest’s first place winners were Colin Dowse, Rhys Eleanor Demarest, Abigail Reinstedt, Ashley Robinson, and Coleman Howe, for the following respective categories: film, screenwriting, photography, highlight reel, photography, and “Central Coast Spirit.” Each award recipient received a $250 scholarship to support their future creative endeavors.

SLO NightWriters holds Golden Quill Writing Contest

SLO NightWriters, an organization dedicated to supporting local writers, will be accepting entries into the Golden Quill Writing Contest, throughout the month of May. Guidelines can be found on slonightwriters.org. The theme of this year’s competition is “Masks,” which participants are asked to interpret either literally or figuratively in their submissions. In a press release, the contest’s director, Judith Amber, said that the competition is open to group members as well as nonmembers (as long as they are residents of San Luis Obispo County). “Writing has never stopped during the pandemic, and I’ll bet our writer members have used the isolation time to do more of what they love—write,” Amber said.

The SLO International Film Festival runs April 26 through May 1

here’s something magical about entering a dim auditorium with a bunch of strangers, waiting for the lights to extinguish, and then immersing yourself in another world. Watching a fi lm in a movie theater isn’t like watching a fi lm at home, with a thousand little distractions and a pause button at the ready. No, seeing a fi lm in a theater is a commitment to engage, and when the story ends and the lights come up, you know you’ve shared an experience with those seated near to you. It’s an experience fewer and fewer of us have enjoyed lately. Movie ticket sales peaked back in 2002 with 1.58 billion sold and have been slowly declining ever since, down to 1.23 billion in 2019. Then the pandemic hit, and ticket sales collapsed. In 2021, just 499 million tickets were sold while streaming services exploded. Ticket sale are going up again, but there’s a long way to go before movie theaters fully recover. Likewise, the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival took a heavy hit the last two years, forcing the festival to go virtual. This year, it returns with live screenings and events starting Tuesday, April 26, and running through Sunday, May 1. Most of the films will also be available virtually on May 1, but festival organizers are really hoping the public is ready to venture back into theaters and fully engage. “Ticket sales are picking up and things are going well,” SLOIFF Executive Director Skye McLennon noted. “I think there’s a little hesitancy to come back out, but at the same time, people are really excited to come out and do things, so that’s been really positive.” There’s a lot to do at this year’s festival, which is chock-full of amazing films and exciting events. Every night there’s a highlight.

LIVE AND IN PERSON SLO Film Fest Executive Director Skye McLennon is excited about a return to in-person screenings after the pandemic forced the SLOIFF to go virtual last year.

On opening night, Tuesday, April 26, Fire of Love screens at the Fremont Theater. The film follows French volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft as they roam the planet studying volcanoes … until they lost their lives to a volcanic explosion in 1991. There’s a reception at Luna Red before the screening, with The Taproots playing. In fact, there’s a ton of music coming up. “This year we’ve definitely tried to plan things to tie in live music,” McLennon continued. “It’s a huge component of the festival this year.” On Wednesday, April 27, the Fremont hosts the screening of Coast, a film made in Santa Maria and Guadalupe that follows 16-year-old Abby, who’s desperate to escape her smalltown life. When she falls for the lead singer of a touring rock band, she has to decide whether to leave her family and follow her heart. The evening includes musical performances by Pancho & The Wizards, Dog Party, and Hannah Kenny—all featured in the film. The always popular Surf Nite happens on Thursday, April 28, at the Sunset Drive-In,

Spotlight award winner

EXPRESSIVE Film, television, and stage actress Dale Dickey, who’s starred in Winter’s Bone, Hell or High Water, The Pledge, and dozens of other films, will receive this year’s King Vidor Award at the April 30 awards night at the Fremont Theater. SLO FILM FEST from page 29

The Awards Night Gala is in the Fremont on Saturday, April 30, emceed by Turner Classic Movie channel host Ben Mankiewicz, who’ll present awards to luminaries such as actress Dale Dickey and actor, director, writer, and producer Michael Showalter. This is the place to be to see and be seen! The festival closes on Sunday, May 1, and there are two very cool events. In the Festival Lounge at Hotel San Luis Obispo, there’s a panel called Adapting Your Script from Short to Feature, where screenwriter Meg LeFauve (Inside Out, Captain Marvel) and filmmaker Jeff Graham will workshop attendees’ ideas. That evening, the festival concludes with a screening of the stand-out documentary MIJA at the Fremont. In between these big events, dozens of films will be shown: shorts and features, documentaries and narrative films. “What we’re trying to stress to people is that the filmmakers will be here,” McLennon said. “They haven’t been able to show their films to a live audience for two years. They’re excited to see audience reactions and talk about their films, and just get feedback. Pretty much all the short-film makers are coming, most of the documentary filmmakers are coming as well, and some of the narrative directors are coming.”

And the winner is …

This year’s King Vidor Award winner is one of the most recognizable female character actors working today. She’s had small but pivotal roles in films such as The Pledge with Jack Nicholson, Domino with Keira Knightly, Changeling with Angelina Jolie, Winter’s Bone with Jennifer Lawrence, Super 8 with Elle Fanning, Being Flynn with Robert De Niro, Iron Man 3 with Robert Downey Jr., and Hell or High Water with Jeff Bridges. This year Dickey has the lead role in A Love Song, which is screening as part of the film festival. “It’s so nice to see her because she’s always been kind of a supporting role, so to see her as the star—it’s so welldeserved,” McLennon said. “She’s one of those people that, maybe they don’t know her name, but when they see her, they’re like, ‘Oh, I know her.’” You certainly will. She’s got an amazingly recognizable and expressive

face, and she has a knack for bringing just the right tone to her roles. She’s a lifelong actor. She started theater acting as a child with the Clarence Brown Theatre at the University of Tennessee. “Once I did that I didn’t want to stop ever,” Dickey said via phone. “I was nine, and I did three plays a year at the university growing up. I just loved it.” After high school, she attended the university as a student from 1980 to ’84 before moving to New York, where she admitted she struggled to get work and secure an agent. “But I loved it,” she said. “I pounded the pavement, I worked with casting directors, I started doing regional theater, and I did one Broadway show, and then I started to do some film and television.” She got her first film role in 1995 in The Incredible True Adventure of Two Girls in Love, did a TV series in New York with Tyne Daly called Christy, and finally decided to relocate “to La-La Land, where I’ve been ever since,” she explained. She goes back to the University of Tennessee, which awarded her an honorary MFA, every five years or so and does a play with their MFA students. Does she have a preference between theater, TV, and film? “Work is good, so I take it where it comes, but I still do theater when I can—usually about one show a year. It’s such a different discipline, and I hope it will always be in my life, but I’m really enjoying learning more and more about camera work. I’ve been doing it for a long, long time. I’ve done tons of guest artist roles, guest stars, and recurring roles, so I learn by being on set. I love film. I love television as well, but I particularly like film.” Winter’s Bone in 2010 was definitely a breakout role for Dickey, earning her a Film Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actress. She played Merab, a tough but practical country woman trying to protect the “old ways.” “Winter’s Bone was such a unique film, and so well embraced by so many people,” she noted. “The weirdest thing about going through that awards ceremony was, I look very different if I’m in a dress with makeup and my hair done, and a lot of people—I think because the movie did such a great job blending unknowns and known character actors with real local people—people didn’t recognize me.

Road to radicalization

o-writer Dina Amer—in her directorial debut—helms this story about two young Arab sisters (played by real sisters Lorenza and Ilonna Grimaudo) living with their neglectful mother in Paris. After the girls are taken from their mother by social services and separated, the film follows the elder sister, Hasna (played by Amer, Sabrina Ouazani, and Mouna Soualem) as she suffers in poverty, experiences racism and misogyny, and struggles to find a sense of belonging in a country that doesn’t seem to want her. (91 min.) Glen This is a gut-wrenching film. Amer, who wrote the story with Omar Mullick, was working as a reporter for Vice News and covered the 2015 SaintDenis raid, in which police say Hasna Aït Boulahcen detonated a suicide vest, becoming the first female suicide bomber in France. The police report turned out to be wrong, and Amer went on a quest to tell the truth about Hasna, conducting 360 hours of interviews over several years with her family and friends. Hasna was certainly radicalized, but Amer’s film explores what led her to join jihad. I

The film depicts Hasna as fiercely loyal to her younger sister, Mariam. She fed her (often through theft) when their mother couldn’t, remembered her birthday and stole her a present when their mother didn’t, and protected and entertained her as best she could. Separating them devastated Hasna. Mariam was her whole world. As an adult, Hasna is searching for her identity, which is signaled in a really unique way: In scenes of stress, Hasna’s face morphs between the three actresses playing her. It’s both deeply disturbing and effective. It may not be a joy to experience, but this is a potent film. Anna It definitely packs a punch. Hasna, Mariam, and their other siblings are subject to cruelty and neglect at the hands of their mother. She’s especially

cruel to Hasna, who doesn’t even have a place in the home even as a young child. It’s totally heartbreaking, even more so when Hasna and Mariam are placed in different foster homes. Hasna’s life was already in a tailspin, and being thrown into a situation without her sister and into a foster home with people who have absolutely no concept of what her life has been so far does nothing to slow the inevitable crash and burn. When we jump forward in time, we find Hasna doing whatever she needs to do to get by and masking her pain with booze and hard living. She isn’t without those who love and want to help her, but the sister she yearns for only seems to become more and more distant. Hasna is desperate to make something out of her splintered reality, and unfortunately what she finds is what leads to the tragic and terrible end to her life and that of many others. Glen How does someone become radicalized? This film’s goal is to show one path. If you’re unrooted from your home culture, thrown into a country that doesn’t respect or want you, given no opportunities to succeed, and have been stripped of what you love and need by an uncaring system, it’s easy to gravitate to a group that says they understand and will accept you. When Hasna sees her cousin Abdelhamid (Alexandre Gonin) on recruitment propaganda, she reaches out, and soon she thinks she’s found a home. Instead, her cousin found a tool to use in his jihad. It’s a sad, crushing story, and I think it’s amazing that after Amer learned she’d gotten her reporting wrong about Hasna setting off a suicide vest, she cared enough to set things straight. This is a terrific, albeit depressing, film. Anna Hasna is desperate for a purpose. She’s falling for Abdelhamid, and he knows he can use that to his advantage to pull her into a web she won’t escape from. It’s a completely heart-wrenching film. I was gutted. However, it is supremely powerful, well executed, and acted. It’s not a light watch, but it is an important one. Δ Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and freelancer Anna Starkey write Split Screen.

She spends her days bird watching and her nights stargazing, and she pulls crayfish from the lake for her meals. She doesn’t know when Lito will arrive. There’s an element of magical realism afoot.

“the perfect song” for the moment. She’s visited by a young girl (Marty Grace Dennis) and four cowboys, who arrive and ask her to move since they buried their dead father in the campsite and whose view has now been disturbed by an oil derrick, so they want to move him. Deeply charming moments are sprinkled throughout. When Lito finally arrives, the two reminisce while navigating their complicated feelings about the past and present. Both Dickey and Studi are masterful actors with fascinating faces, and watching all these emotions wash over them is spellbinding. The film is slow and beautiful and tender— the antithesis of a Hollywood blockbuster and a breath of fresh cinematic air. (81 min.) —Glen

riter-director Peter Luisi helms this story of addiction and redemption. When we meet Josef (Fabian Krüger), he’s deep in the bottle, spending his days drinking until he’s blackout drunk. He’s so out of it he misses his mother’s funeral, and when his half-sister, Karin (Anne Haug), shows up to tell him she inherited half the house he lives in and she wants to sell, he refuses. With no other choices available, the struggling single mother moves into

the second apartment with her young daughter, Nina (Lia Hahne), who quickly charms Josef and inspires him to overcome his addiction … but can he? He wants to do the right thing, but his weakness for alcohol is overwhelming, and Karin has no patience for him. The second half of the film takes place 35 years later. Karin has died, and at the funeral, Josef (now played by Matthias Habich) discovers that Nina (now played by Johanna Bantzer) is in trouble, and that her family has abandoned her. Beautifully acted, written, and directed, Princess conjures powerful emotions as it explores the weaknesses and strengths of the human spirit. It’s painful to watch but poignant and honest about its subject matter. (in German and English; 101 min.) Δ —Glen

Making waves Winemaker Mike Sinor’s latest venture, Shuck Shack, highlights his love of the Central Coast and its bounty

ike Sinor of Arroyo Grande prefers to fly under the Central Coast wine-industry radar, according to friends and colleagues. However, his long list of accolades and endeavors continues to keep him in the spotlight. Among his achievements during his 30-year career are producing a Wine Spectator 96-point pinot noir, helping launch the nonprofit organization World of Pinot Noir, being named SLO County winemaker of the year, and co-founding Ancient Peaks Winery as well as his own label, Sinor-LaVallee. Kathleen Naughton, executive director of the SLO Coast Wine Collective, also credited Sinor with being “one of the handful of winemakers who began the petition for the [SLO Coast] AVA over five years ago and helped with the fundraising for the research that was needed.” The new American Viticultural Area, which was finalized in March, spans about 60 miles from Nipomo to San Simeon and is bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Lucia Mountains. Its 408,585 total acres include the Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande sub-AVAs. The coveted federal AVA designation establishes the SLO Coast as an official wine region, confers labeling rights, and helps promote the unique characteristics of its cool-climate terroir.

Follow the Shuck Shack on Instagram @shuckshackavila.

“[Sinor] is extremely modest,” Naughton said, “but very proud it has finally come to fruition.” Winemaker Aaron Jackson, who spearheaded the AVA process, said Sinor “has a tremendous winemaking history here locally, and brought a wonderfully forward-thinking and pragmatic mind to our efforts.” Jackson also credited AVA advocates Brian Talley of Talley Vineyards, Maria Bennetti of Stolo Vineyards, June McIvor of Tolosa, and Steve Vierra of Derby Wine Estates. Sinor said he was privileged to be part of the founding group. “It will help our area continue to grow and prosper,” he explained. Brette Ann Womack, a certified sommelier and consultant for sales and marketing at Sinor-LaVallee’s tasting room in Avila Beach, said Sinor is her mentor. “My first full-time job out of college was at Domaine Alfred, for which Mike was the winemaker,” she said. “He put Edna Valley on the map with the 2004 Califa pinot noir, which received 96 points in Wine Spectator. That winery was sold and became Chamisal Vineyards, and I worked there for six years. “I have admired him as a winemaker since that time, but as I got to know him over the years, I was inspired by his commitment to the community we’re so lucky to be a part of.” Sinor-LaVallee’s pinot noir, syrah, grenache, chardonnay, pinot gris, and albariño are sourced exclusively from Avila Valley’s Bassi Vineyard, which Sinor purchased in 2013. “We make 500 to 1,000 cases per year, depending on the vintage of Sinor-LaVallee wines,” he said. However, he’s got plenty to share. “New for us is selling grapes to local young winemakers—Scar of the Sea, Dunites, Raj Parr, Delmore Wines, Outward Wines, to name a few,” he said. “It is really OCEAN BREEZE The Sinor-LaVallee tasting room patio in Avila Beach accommodates 40 exciting to see this new generation seated and standing guests for daily seaside of winemakers use our fruit.” imbibing and oyster shucking, monthly pizza He also partners with food parties, and occasional live music. providers at his tasting room for

Customer Johnny Kenny, who resides in Avila’s See Canyon, visits SinorLaVallee regularly. “They have a great patio … and the staff is really friendly,” he said. “Mike is a legend and one of the nicest people you will come across in the wine world. “Brette, the manager, is also amazing. She always has a big smile on her face and she’s very knowledgeable about the local wine scene.” However, he added, the biggest draw is the wine and food. “The pizza party on the first Sunday of the month is an awesome event,” he said. “They have Earth & Oven cooking woodfired pizzas. Get there early; they sell out quickly.” He’s also enamored with Shuck Shack, the winery’s latest venture, offering patrons the opportunity to shuck their own oysters— with provided instructions and shucking gear—on the patio daily until sold out.

AMENDED NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: GRANT THOMAS MORGAN DECEDENT CASE NUMBER: 21PR-0422 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: GRANT THOMAS MORGAN AN AMENDED PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by YASUE I. MORGAN in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo. The AMENDED Petition for Probate requests that YASUE I. MORGAN be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. 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. Attorney for Petitioner: Patricia M. Scoles 1104 Vine Street, Suite B Paso Robles, CA 93446 805-227-7184 April 14, 21, & 28, 2022

We are assisting the Beneficiary to collecting a debt and any information we obtain will be used for that purpose whether received orally or in writing. 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. 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 916-9390772 or visit this Internet Website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2021-00100. 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 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 202100100 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

LEGAL NOTICES 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.

The Land Use Element amendments are primarily to housing goals and policies to align with the new objective design standards and elimination of subjective standards. The LCP amendment is limited to aligning new sections that become part of the implementation of the LCP. The Development Code amendments include revisions to development standards such as height and setbacks for several zones; new objective design standards and elimination of subjective design standards; creation of fractional density; revisions to parking standards; revisions to the type of development application required including a new Zoning Clearance for ministerial projects; revisions to requirements for street improvements and utility undergrounding; new standards for single family zones to comply with Senate Bill 9; other revisions to comply with State law; and other clarifications and general clean up revisions. A Negative Declaration was prepared for the project (SCH # 2022040066). The area within the Coastal Zone will require approval by the California Coastal Commission.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: What’s your favorite ethical trick? Newsletter.freewillastrology.com ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): Aries author Marge Piercy writes, “I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart, who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience, who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward, who do what has to be done, again and again.” According to my analysis of the astrological factors, you’ll be wise to be like a person Piercy describes. You’re entering a phase of your cycle when diligent work and impeccable self-discipline are most necessary and most likely to yield stellar rewards.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): British Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805) was born under the sign of Libra. He was a brilliant and unconventional strategist whose leadership brought many naval victories for his country. Yet he was blind in one eye, was missing most of his right arm from a battle wound, and was in constant discomfort from chronic seasickness. I propose we make him one of your patron saints for the coming weeks. May he inspire you to do your best and surpass your previous accomplishments even if you’re not feeling perfect. (But also keep in mind: The problems you have to deal with will be far milder than Nelson’s.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1879, Taurus-born Williamina Fleming was working as a maid for astronomer Edward Charles Pickering, director of the Harvard Observatory. Impressed with her intelligence, Pickering hired Fleming to do scientific work. By 1893, she had become a prominent, award-winning astronomer. Ultimately, she discovered the Horsehead Nebula, helped develop a system for identifying stars, and cataloged thousands of astronomical phenomena. I propose that we make her your role model for the duration of 2022. If there has ever been a year when you might achieve progress like Fleming’s, it’s this one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For 2,500 years, Egypt was a conquered territory ruled by non-Egyptians. Persians took control in 525 BCE. Greeks replaced them. In succeeding centuries, Egypt had to submit to the authority of the Roman Empire, the Persians again, the Byzantine Empire, the Arab Islamic Caliphate, the Mamluk Sultanate, the Ottomans, and the British. When British troops withdrew from their occupation in 1956, Egypt was finally an independent nation self-ruled by Egyptians. If there are any elements of your own life story that even partially resemble Egypt’s history, I have good news: 2022 is the year you can achieve a more complete version of sovereignty than you have ever enjoyed. And the next phase of your freedom work begins now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): During the next four weeks, some of the best lessons you can study and learn will come to you while you’re socializing and communicating. Even more than is usually the case, your friends and allies will offer you crucial information that has the power to catalyze dynamic decisions. Lucky encounters with Very Interesting People may open up possibilities worth investigating. And here’s a fun X-factor: The sometimes surprising words that fly out of your mouth during lively conversations will provide clues about what your deep self has been half-consciously dreaming of.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Hold on tight, I would tell myself, but there was nothing for me to hold on to.” A character in one of Haruki Murakami’s novels says that. In contrast to that poor soul, Leo, I’m happy to tell you that there will indeed be a reliable and sturdy source for you to hold onto in the coming weeks—maybe more than one. I’m glad! In my astrological opinion, now is a time when you’ll be smart to get thoroughly anchored. It’s not that I think you will be in jeopardy. Rather, you’re in a phase when it’s more important than usual to identify what makes you feel stable and secure. It’s time to bolster your foundations and strengthen your roots.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the latter half of the 19th century, the US government collaborated with professional hunters to kill millions of bison living in America’s Great Plains. Why? It was an effort to subjugate the indigenous people who lived there by eliminating the animals that were their source of food, clothing, shelter, bedding, ropes, shields, and ornaments. The beloved and useful creatures might have gone extinct altogether if it had not been for the intervention of a Virgo rancher named Mary Ann “Molly” Goodnight. She single-handedly rebuilt the bison herds from a few remaining survivors. I propose that we make Goodnight your inspirational role model for the rest of 2022. What dwindling resources or at-risk assets could you restore to health?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Anti-apartheid activist Bantu Stephen Biko (1946-1977) was profoundly committed to authenticity. The repressive South African government hated that about him. Biko said, “I’m going to be me as I am, and you can beat me or jail me or even kill me, but I’m not going to be what you want me to be.” Fortunately for you, Scorpio, you’re in far less danger as you become more and more of your genuine self. That’s not to say the task of learning how to be true to your deep soul is entirely risk-free. There are people out there, even allies, who may be afraid of or resistant to your efforts. Don’t let their pressure influence you to dilute your holy quest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul,” said Sagittarian painter Wassily Kandinsky. Inspired by his observation, I’m telling you, “The practical dreamer should train not only her reasoning abilities but also her primal intuition, creative imagination, non-rational perceptivity, animal instincts, and rowdy wisdom.” I especially urge you to embody my advice in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Now is a favorable time to make abundant use of the other modes of intelligence that help you understand life as it really is—and not merely as the logical, analytical mind conceives it to be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The language spoken by the indigenous Cherokee people is at least 3,000 years old. But it never had a written component until the 1820s. Then a Cherokee polymath named Sequoyah formulated a syllabary, making it possible for the first time to read and write the language. It was a herculean accomplishment with few precedents in history. I propose we name him your inspirational role model for the rest of 2022. In my astrological understanding, you are poised to make dramatic breakthroughs in self-expression and communication that will serve you and others for a long time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A study by psychologists concludes there is a good way to enhance your willpower: For a given time, say one week, use your non-dominant hand to brush your teeth, wield your computer mouse, open your front door with your key, or perform other habitual activities. Doing so boosts your ability to overcome regular patterns that tend to keep you mired in inertia. You’re more likely to summon the resolution and drive necessary to initiate new approaches in all areas of your life—and stick with them. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to try this experiment. (For more info, read this: tinyurl.com/boostwillpower.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In his book Thus Spoke Zarathustra, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, “You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will be justified to say something like that in the near future. Now is a favorable time to honestly acknowledge differences between you and others—and accept those differences just as they are. The important point is to do what you need to do without decreeing that other people are wrong or misguided. ∆
