Paulding, Ortiz-Legg, Gibson take leads in SLO County supervisor elections

E

PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

ven after two years of intense campaigning in South County, Jimmy Paulding said he had no idea what to expect on June 7 when the preliminary results for his 4th District county supervisor race posted shortly after 8 p.m.

What they immediately showed: signs of an upset and a great night for the Arroyo Grande City Council member, who was taking a second crack at ousting incumbent Supervisor Lynn Compton of Nipomo, whom he narrowly lost to in a 2018 matchup.

As of our press time, Paulding held a 58.3 percent to 41.7 percent edge on Compton, a lead of 1,594 votes.

“It was a surprise, it was,” Paulding told New Times by phone on June 8. “I had no idea: Were we going to be close like 2018? Were we going to be up? It makes sense, though, based on the interactions we were having with people doorto-door. We had a good feeling.”

Paulding’s race wasn’t the only promising early result for local Democrats hoping to flip a conservative SLO County Board of Supervisors majority that’s held court since 2017.

In the 3rd District, incumbent Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg had a 64.9 percent to 31.8 percent edge on challenger Stacy Korsgaden.

Another challenger, Arnold Ruiz, got 3.3 percent of the preliminary vote.

The blue trend continued in the 2nd District, where incumbent Supervisor Bruce Gibson held 53 percent of the early vote, leading challengers Bruce Jones, Geoff Auslen, and John Whitworth, who each got 16.8 percent, 16.8 percent, and 13.5 percent, respectively.

That race will go on to November if Gibson’s vote dips below a 50 percent threshold with the final tally. If it does, he’ll face the next highest finisher in a two-man runoff. If it remains above 50 percent, then the Cayucos resident will have won his fifth term in office.

“It’s certainly heading in the right direction,” Gibson told New Times. “We’re really pleased with the margin we see right now, but there are still quite a number of ballots to be counted.”

According to SLO County Clerk-Recorder Elaina Cano, there are thousands of ballots still outstanding. Cano told New Times that her office is still processing all of the mail-in ballots that were returned on or after the afternoon of Monday, June 6.

The election night results include the mail-in ballots returned by or before the afternoon of June 6, as well as the ballots completed on June 7 at polling places in person. The next round of ballot counting will happen on Friday, June 10, Cano said, with a new update of results expected that afternoon.

Cano said SLO County’s turnout is hovering at about 25 percent, which is historically low, although higher than the statewide turnout for this primary.

She expects that percentage to tick up as the remaining ballots are processed.

She noted that only 2,366 voters chose to vote at the polls on Election Day this year, an unprecedented low.

“We’ve never seen anything like it,” Cano said.

The SLO County supervisor candidates who trailed after election night quickly pointed out that many more ballots are still left to count.

Auslen, of Atascadero, one of Gibson’s challengers for District 2, said he’s confident he will surge ahead of fellow challenger Jones and push Gibson to a runoff.

“With that many ballots still out there, it’s anybody’s game,” Auslen said. “I think we’re going to November.”

Similarly, Jones, of Templeton, said in an email: “We are waiting till we see the real results when all the ballots are counted.”

ELECTION NIGHT JOY Dawn Ortiz-Legg celebrates The uncertainty around the final a big early lead in her 3rd District county supervisor race results, though, didn’t stop the leading at an election party at SLO Brew Rock. Preliminary results candidates from reflecting on their showed that the incumbent supervisor, who was appointed campaigns and looking ahead to a in 2020, had a 64.9 percent to 31.8 percent lead on challenger Stacy Korsgaden. potential changing of the guard on the Board of Supervisors in 2023. he said it was a big part of what he ran on.

Gibson said that a shake-up of the “People were fired up and ready to change the current board majority of Compton, 1st District direction our county is going,” Paulding said. “I Supervisor John Peschong, and 5th District think we can achieve a culture shift within the Supervisor Debbie Arnold—who often vote county and the organization where we’re lifting in a bloc—would be significant and open up people up instead of tearing them down and “opportunities to make progress in this county we’re really trying to find solutions and solve on a whole bunch of different fronts.” problems.” Δ When New Times asked Paulding about his —Peter Johnson role in possibly breaking up the board majority,

Dawn Addis leads Democratic nomination for 30th District Assembly race

While the results will be certified on July 15, early numbers show Addis holding a comfortable margin over the other Democratic front-runner Jon Wizard. If her lead holds, Addis will face Republican Vicki Nohrden in the November general election.

The 30th District is the newly formed district that got redistricted from the previous 35th Assembly District, which Addis failed to capture in 2020. It spans SLO, Monterey, and Santa Cruz counties. According to numbers last updated at 3:16 a.m. on June 8, Addis had received 43.4 percent of votes across the district.

Wizard received 10.5 percent, while Nohrden pulled in 33.4 percent.

Endorsements from all three Democratic Party chapters in the 30th District counties

The pop of a Champagne cork and hoots of jubilation from a crowd of 20 resounded through the San Luis Obispo County Democratic Party headquarters on June 7. They celebrated Dawn Addis, the party’s endorsement across three counties for Assembly District 30, for leading the blue nomination on election night.

“The early results are extremely encouraging.

I sincerely thank every voter on the Central Coast for making their voices heard,” Addis told New Times on June 8, the morning after polls closed.

potentially smoothed the way for Addis to rule the blue roost in the initial count. She received the highest amounts so far—44.59 percent, 42.20 percent, and 37.71 percent of votes in SLO, Monterey, and Santa Cruz counties, respectively.

The old 35th Assembly District has been represented by Republican Jordan Cunningham. His decision to not run for reelection allowed Nohrden to enter. But John Ashbaugh, the former state Assembly Democratic candidate for SLO and Santa Barbara counties (though unsuccessful), is excited for Addis to possibly usher in political change.

“I’m pleased to see that the district is configured now to take in more of the coastal territory that we do with connect with, like Monterey and Santa Cruz counties that allow a Democrat to make a strong case. When I ran in ’92, the district had just been created,” Ashbaugh said. “It was this county and a little piece of northern Santa Barbara County, which although normally Democratic, voted Republican.

“I was facing terrible headwinds [during the 1992 and 1994 campaigns], but Dawn has the wind in her back,” he continued. “I’m quite sure she’ll win in November barring unforeseen circumstances. She’s got the experience, the temperament, and the people skills.”

Hart leads Assembly District 37 preliminary election results

Candidate for the 37th District Assembly race Gregg Hart spoke with New Times on June 8 after a morning hike to de-stress and get some fresh air to celebrate finishing a long trail of campaigning to represent Santa Barbara and SLO counties at the state level.

Campaigning efforts seemed to pay off as unofficial election results show Hart in the lead with 59 percent of the vote in Santa Barbara County, and 48 percent of the votes in SLO County. Votes are still being tallied and official election results will be added to county websites by July 15, but Hart said he’s very grateful for the support and is looking forward to the November general election.

“I think my strong showing demonstrates voters appreciate the work I’ve been doing for three decades as a local elected official and want to see me as their representative,” Hart said. “I’m looking forward to continuing to have an aggressive campaign and get my message out there.”

The 37th District looks a little different this year after the recent redistricting process—it now contains all of Santa Barbara County and southern SLO County as opposed to its old layout containing Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.

Preliminary results also predict that Hart will likely go up against Republican candidate Mike Stoker in November—as third candidate Bruce Wallach earned just 3 percent of the votes in Santa Barbara and 5 percent in SLO. Stoker had earned 37 percent of the votes in Santa Barbara County, and was hot on Hart’s trail in SLO County with 46 percent of the votes—only 56 votes short of tying with Hart, according to unofficial results. Stoker said he had been expecting to fall short of Hart by a larger extreme, and he has high hopes for the November election.

“I think a lot of voters that don’t like the direction for California will get out to vote and make a change in the general election. ... We’re ready to go and the campaign starts now,” Stoker said.

The stack of ballots to be counted may be relatively small, as low voter turnout— including in the two Central Coast counties—plagued the state. The LA Times reported that early voter turnout was “dismal” before polling sites opened on June 7, and only 15 percent of the state’s registered voters got their mail-in ballots to election officials. It cited voter

fatigue and “lackluster” races as some of the reasons why voter turnout is so low.

“It’s a stark contrast with some parts of the nation, where voter turnout is exceeding expectations,” the article stated.

Santa Barbara County only had 49,288 votes cast out of its 235,212 registered voters as of June 8, making it just above state levels with a 20 percent voter turnout. SLO County had a similar turnout with 39,777 of its 181,894 registered voters, just 21 percent of the county’s voters.

Both Stoker and Hart said in separate interviews that, historically, primary elections have lower numbers than general elections, but Hart added that Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recent recall election in September might have thrown some voters “off their rhythms.” “[However], people care about our community and want their voices heard, and my campaign will do everything we can to get voters to the polls,” Hart said.

Elaina Cano holds big lead in county clerkrecorder race San Luis Obispo County voters appear to have overwhelmingly picked Elaina Cano to continue leading the county election and clerk-recorder offices.

Preliminary June 7 election results showed Cano with a commanding lead over challengers James Baugh and Stew Jenkins, taking 66.8 percent of the vote as of press time.

Cano, who was appointed to the top clerk-recorder position last year amid a vacancy, is poised to win her first-ever election. She previously held unelected clerk/election positions in SLO and Santa Barbara counties, SLO city, and Pismo Beach.

Unimpeded Facing no challengers, SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson and District Attorney Dan Dow are reelected

S

an Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson and District Attorney Dan Dow both expected fights.

Given the criticism that’s followed the county’s top law enforcement officers in recent years—from the jail death of Andrew Holland in 2017, to Parkinson’s comments criticizing mask mandates and denying systemic racism in 2020, to Dow’s prosecutions of Black Lives Matter protesters—both men entered this election season ready for anything.

“I was prepared for an opponent,” Dow told New Times in his office above the downtown SLO courthouse. “Nothing would have surprised me.”

And yet, no challengers emerged.

Parkinson and Dow ran unopposed campaigns in 2022, and on June 7, they secured easy reelection victories.

Parkinson won his fourth term and Dow his third term in office.

“I’m grateful,” Dow said. “If the masses weren’t satisfied that we were doing good work here and getting good results, I would’ve drawn an opponent.”

But the lack of an election fight was not a matter of a lack of interest in one, according to Rita Casaverde, who chairs the SLO County Democratic Party.

Democratic Party leaders recruited heavily for candidates who would challenge either of the two Republican incumbents, especially Dow. Locals expressed particular dissatisfaction with the DA, Casaverde said, citing his “fundamentalist” stances during the pandemic supporting church gatherings and singing despite public health orders. The DA’s Office crackdown on “Black and young protesters” during the local Black Lives Matter movement also angered residents, she said.

“We had so many people interested in supporting a different candidate. We tried for months,” Casaverde said. “We had different conversations. We had a candidate who was ready. But at the end of the day, they couldn’t commit.”

REELECTED SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson (left) and District Attorney Dan Dow (right) skated to uncontested reelections on June 7.

One hurdle was time, Casaverde said.

Another was money. And another was fear of retaliation at work.

“They were afraid that the environment would become hostile,” she said. “It is concerning, but at the same time not surprising. Because this community is so tiny, especially if you are involved in law enforcement, you’ll be seen as crossing the blue line.”

Proud of progress

In Sheriff Parkinson’s office, a “thin blue line” flag pops off of his wall, and outside, in the hallway, a bulletin board is up showcasing letters of thanks from community members over the years.

“We have tremendous support from the public,” Parkinson told New Times. “When we had our shootings, our stations were absolutely inundated with cards, ribbons, and food.”

The past four years have been tough for local law enforcement, Parkinson said.

Multiple officer-involved shootings— including a standoff with a man in Paso Robles who ambushed and shot two deputies in 2020 and the fatal shooting of SLO Detective Luca Benedetti in 2021— marked a term of unprecedented violence.

“When we have five shootings in 13 months, that’s very disturbing. That is extremely concerning,” Parkinson said.

Parkinson sees those incidents as examples of the mental health epidemic in the county, which is coinciding with a spike in crime. Drug overdose rates have almost doubled in the last three years, Parkinson said. He pins the public safety issues today on state-level reforms, like Propositions 47 and 57, which he believes “have made it more dangerous for the average citizen.”

“I think the state of California has made some tremendous mistakes,” he said. “We wouldn’t have had five shootings if there was more accountability [in the justice system], but we’ve taken away accountability in a lot of areas. … For me, it means I need more deputies on the street.”

During his last term, Parkinson said his biggest focus was the jail. Following Holland’s widely condemned death in custody—which was a result of being strapped to a restraint chair for two days— the county came under federal investigation.

“At the time of Andrew’s death, we had three entities running the jail: We had the Health Department, Behavioral Health, and my department. It was a recipe for disaster, and we knew it,” Parkinson said.

In response, SLO County outsourced its jail medical care services and hired a chief medical officer for oversight.

Parkinson thinks the new system is working and said the jail is on the verge of becoming nationally accredited for it.

“That is the highest standard you can achieve,” he said.

And yet, last year, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued an investigative report alleging years of constitutional abuses at the jail, including for inadequate medical and mental health care. Parkinson said the county is working with the DOJ on a resolution and believes the report focused on the jail’s past rather than its present.

“The problem I had with the DOJ report is the majority of the stuff they were citing was going back in time to when health care wasn’t under my command, and the majority of the things in the report had changed already,” Parkinson said.

Building bridges After a term filled with community controversy and high emotions, Dow said he wants to turn down the temperature around the work of the DA’s Office and try to build more bridges in the community.

“Where most of the friction comes is from misunderstandings or assumptions that people might have about our system,” Dow told New Times. “That’s front and center now. … There’s much greater scrutiny on the work that we do.”

Dow believes that that scrutiny comes from all angles—from both sides of the political spectrum, from police agencies, activist groups, and everyday residents.

He describes his work, no matter the public pressure, as “an ethical search for the truth.”

But Dow was accused of doing just the opposite of that after Black Lives Matter protests hit the county in 2020. When the DA’s Office pursued charges against protesters involved in a march that blocked Highway 101, a judge disqualified it from the case due to bias. That ruling, which Dow vehemently disagrees with, is still pending appeal two years later.

“The [state] attorney general agrees with us that it was an erroneous ruling.

It’s not a right-wing, conservative, lawand-order guy saying it’s a wrong ruling,” Dow said.

Dow views the charges pursued against protesters as important and reasonable.

“We haven’t been overbearing, but I think it’s appropriate that we enforce the law in our community and not allow things to get out of hand,” Dow said.

“Because Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, a lot of other cities that took a view of we’re just going to let this all be deemed a freebie because it’s free speech, they had a problem with things escalating over time.

I don’t know if that would’ve happened here or not, but I know it didn’t happen.”

Like Parkinson, Dow sees the biggest challenges in public safety today as a result of state policies too focused on “compassion for the offender.”

“I really believe that we’re seeing in California a huge spike in crime,” he said, “and I believe it is tied to going too far on criminal justice reform and forgetting about victims and the community, and not putting them on an equal footing as offenders.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

BY BULBUL RAJAGOPAL SCREENSHOT FROM CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS NEEDS ASSESSMENT

Pavement panacea Arroyo Grande is considering a sales tax ballot measure to save its deteriorating roads, but the problem isn’t unique to the area

A

rroyo Grande’s worsening pavements might have a longoverdue makeover on their horizon. But fixing those potholes, cracked curbs, and crumbling asphalt would cost residents a 1 percent increase in sales tax.

After receiving an “increasingly frightening picture” of its pavements analyzed by city staff, the Arroyo Grande City Council approved the submission of a sales tax increase ballot measure for November’s general municipal election.

“Staff indicated that despite our past efforts to maintain our streets, our street condition including our sidewalks have declined,” said City Manager Whitney McDonald at the May 24 City Council meeting. “We saw that our Pavement Condition Index [PCI] … had decreased to 56, down from 69 in 2016.”

PCI comprises scores from 0 to 100 that classify pavement health into five categories. According to Arroyo Grande’s 2022 Pavement Management Program update report, pavements in the 91 to 100 bracket are “excellent,” 71 to 90 “good,” 51 to 70 “fair,” 31 to 50 “poor,” and 0 to 30 “failed.”

McDonald added that it would cost the city $6.3 million annually to maintain Arroyo Grande’s 56 score over the next decade. If the city aims to improve its streets to a PCI of 61, it will cost a total of $8 million each year.

“The wear and tear condition of pavements is cyclical. We haven’t raised our sales tax since 2006,” Bill Robeson, the city’s public works director, told New Times. “So, we have a budget that we use from that 2006 money to maintain our streets and sidewalks. But the way to keep up with pavement management and pavement conditions that are degrading are by increasing that budget. One way to do that is through sales tax because it allows for our citizens to pay into that, but it is also heavily paid for by people who visit our city.”

Arroyo Grande’s current street maintenance budget averages at $1.25 million a year. At this rate, city officials fear that the PCI can worsen to 35 in 10 years. But Arroyo Grande’s pavements

aren’t the only infrastructure items in need of repair. Sidewalks and storm drains are failing too. Almost 3 miles of existing corrugated metal pipes need to be replaced, McDonald said at the meeting. That replacement work is estimated to cost $4 million. Sidewalk segments also need work that total a little less than $1.4 million.

Such infrastructure issues aren’t unique to Arroyo Grande. Not only are other South County cities like Grover Beach and Pismo Beach undertaking their own pavement improvement projects, but cities and towns across California are facing rocky roads.

Joe Rierie, the pavement engineer for Pavement Engineering, Inc.—a group hired by Arroyo Grande for consultations—attributed the problem to low funds.

“California knows that’s a problem.

That’s why we recently passed Senate Bill 1 [the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017],” Rierie said. “This is not just an Arroyo Grande problem; this is around the state. But several local government agencies are trying to solve the problems on their own knowing that the state funding is insufficient for them. So, they’re passing sales tax measures and bond measures.”

According to the California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment (2021), the condition of local streets and roads improved only by 1 point since 2018. The statewide average PCI is 66, and 55 of the 58 counties are either at risk of having pavements in poor condition or already have poor pavements.

Further, California needs $3.8 billion annually to maintain the current level of pavement quality.

“We’re seeing inflation hitting everything. It will have an effect on construction materials and on labor,” Rierie said. “Oil is used in the production of asphalt, and as the price of oil goes up, you can expect asphalt prices to also go up. Gas prices going up are an indication that oil prices are going up.”

Rierie went on to highlight that

WORSE FOR WEAR On a scale of 0 to 100, the average statewide Pavement Condition Index is 66, and maintaining streets at that level will cost California a whopping $3.8 billion annually. Locally, Arroyo Grande’s pavement index is 56, and keeping the city’s streets at that level of maintenance would cost the city $6.3 million annually.

“We have a pretty stable set of resources California cities like Larkspur, Concord, that come in for our revenue generation. We and even Grover Beach closer home passed sales tax and bond measures to fix rely on property tax, sales tax, and we get a small amount of TOT [transient occupancy their local streets. tax] comparatively to Pismo,” Robeson said.

PHOTO COURTESY OF RUN FOR UKRAINE SLO

hile Russia’s war in Ukraine has fallen out of the news in recent weeks, partially due to Ukraine’s stout defense, it continues to rage on and sow destruction in the country.

The focus of recent fighting has shifted to Ukraine’s eastern region, where San Luis Obispo residents Slava Narozhnyi and Kateryna Shyshlenko were born and raised.

The Kharkiv natives are looking to raise local awareness about the war and funds to help their family, friends, and fellow citizens in Kharkiv through a community fun run—Run for Ukraine— scheduled for Saturday, June 18, in Laguna Lake Park.

Locals can register for the family-friendly 5K run or walk at runforukraineslo.org. Registrants will be asked to make a donation to benefit two grassroots organizations in Ukraine delivering food and supplies to citizens and members of the armed forces on the ground.

“A lot of people are in need of HELPING ON THE GROUND Proceeds help,” said Shyshlenko, a six-year from the Run for Ukraine fundraiser in Laguna resident of SLO. “It’s very hard to Lake Park will go to help organizations like Olena see how the city’s getting destroyed Makhanova’s Racoons Peacekeepers, which is providing direct aid to people in Kharkiv. and how people’s lives are changing.

The run will start at 9:30 a.m., with “My parents are staying there and check-in at 8:30 a.m. Parking is limited we’ve been, for three months, under and people are encouraged to bike or shelling,” Shyshlenko said. “Hospitals and carpool.

Save The Establishment A local community needs your help to survive

T

he Establishment, “The Stab” for short, or sometimes just “the house,” has been evolving into what it is today since about 1968 when it served as a de facto Cal Poly architecture student house. The big green house, located at 1703 Santa Barbara Ave. in San Luis Obispo, has 19 bedrooms, four bathrooms, four fridges, two stoves, and a stalwart coterie of characters who breathe life into its old walls. If you hop on by, expect to see someone watering the garden, people reading in the den, lively conversations in the kitchen, and ramshackle collages showcasing denizens of old.

The house provides an affordable, high-density community for people of all walks of life, something that San Luis Obispo, and California more broadly, are in desperate need of. The current owners have decided to sell the house on the open market for an asking price of $2.2 million, thus putting the community at risk of dissolution. Former tenants and current friends and allies of the community are mounting an effort to collectively purchase the house. If they succeed, this will ensure the continuation of the ethos and character of the intentional community. If they fail, this could be yet another story of property investors running roughshod over an established community in their profit-seeking attempt to gentrify a neighborhood by

refurbishing a home into a bed and breakfast that caters only to bourgeois tourists.

I’ve gotten to know The Establishment community over the past two years. My partner is a longtime dweller. What struck me most about the community is that long-ago tenants, affectionately referred to as “Stabbies,” remain ancillary friends or even central figures in its culture decades after their tenure with the house is through. Tech bros live alongside woo-woo astrologists. Scrappy handymen meet put-together professors.

If we want a more cohesive society with broadly shared civic values, communities such as The Establishment are essential.

“It’s changed my life, and I want other people to have that same opportunity,” said Jenn Yost, a former Stabbie and the current leader of the community effort to purchase the building. Those words could have been said by any number of others whose lives have been touched by the house.

The Establishment is a hub of neighborly activity. Stan the Avocado Man from down the street brings over boxes of extra avocados. Phyllis drops off her special culinary experiments with little notes explaining the ingredients.

Monday Movie Nights happen every week on the street beside the house, open to whoever passes by. The house hosts soirees with likely attendees ranging from local luminaries such as old-timers Eric Greening and Mark “Gizmo” Grayson to young college students and no-name street kids.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY JOHN DONEGAN

A medical miracle

S

ometimes important advances in science can come from a most improbable source: politics. Who would have thought that the political process could contribute so much to advance science?

Recently, the publishers of an established and renowned medical reference work, the Merck Manual, found themselves in the politically uncomfortable position of being cited by the Florida Department of Health as authority for their guidelines recommending against the medical gender transitioning of children and adolescents suffering from gender dysphoria. Florida, as you may be aware, has been in the spotlight for legislation prohibiting instructing 6-year-olds in public schools on gender identity or sexual orientation, dubbed the “don’t say gay” law by the media.

Unlike most businesses, which find themselves in the hot seat for some ideological transgression, Merck did not limit itself to the usual declarations of support or to displays of contrition and self-flagellation to placate the offended, nor did they establish a new office of “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” Instead, showing real audacity and moxie, they actually changed the science and updated their manual to conform to the currently politically acceptable thinking!

The revised edition of the Merck Manual now replaces the term of “gender dysphoria” with the more-approving term of “gender incongruence,” declaring repeatedly that now “it is not considered a disorder,” and goes on to recognize other recently discovered “genders” such as “genderqueer,” “nonbinary,” and “agender,” dropping the association of gender with biological sex that medicine has previously recognized. Merck then advised Florida to revise its guidelines to reflect their newly evolved thinking.

Some negative types might complain that revising scientifically accepted biological classifications and afflictions ought to be based on something a little more authoritative than just adopting the jargon generated by the latest political cause. But me, well, I’m a “glass is half full” kind of guy and see this as a wonderful development! Whoever would have suspected that we could instantly cure medical ailments by merely changing our perception of the affliction and declaring that it is not really a problem after all? Imagine all the death and suffering that could have been avoided by a timely pronouncement of a new medical finding? Or the tedious and expensive research that could have been avoided by just revising the medical texts? And, of course, all the countless hours of employment lost to illness, when just a few curative words to malingering employees would put them back on the job.

Imagine the possibilities when medical advances are only limited by our vocabularies. Being able to tell a hospitalized patient on his death bed, “Good news, Mr. Smith! Your health insurance company just discovered that your cancer isn’t really a problem after all. Get out of here!” and then being able to watch the patient bound out of bed and run home to his family, or off to the golf course. What could be easier? I hope the Nobel committee is paying attention.

Of course, we can expect some pushback from our self-interested scientific and medical communities, who will undoubtedly counter with “the science must be respected” or some other such nonsense.

They will likely insist that only peerreviewed studies and observed, tested, and repeatable empirical evidence are credible, instead of “discoveries” by social scientists responding to the fashionable thinking.

And of course this will be awkward for liberals who have long criticized conservatives for refusing to “respect the science” in areas such as COVID-19 and climate change. A few liberals may suffer semantic whiplash from having to abruptly reverse their debate arguments to try and maintain consistency when switching between subjects, such as from evolution to gender dysphoria.

Of course, these naysayers can be countered by just emphasizing the word “science” in “social science,” insisting that it is not just a “valid” science, but a sort of transcendent “super science.” The empirical evidence needed to support any scientific theory will now be based upon how well it is accepted on Twitter and other social media, and the number of likes and retweets. Why should the conclusions of a bunch of geeky science nerds in dorky white lab coats prevail over the vast wisdom of the Twittersphere?

Possibly the more scholarly and less interesting areas of science may suffer from neglect on social media, and lesscaptivating topics like, say, “anomalous mutations in subtropical slime mold colonies” overlooked when they have to compete with more “juicy” topics such as speculation on the extraterrestrial origin of Marilyn Manson and his unexplained appearance in Roswell, New Mexico.

Some may grumble that it was a good thing that Jonas Salk was not dependent upon the internet and social media for his research. Ignore them.

We live in a time of unlimited possibilities! Not only can we now use a mere declaration to change to a multitude of different genders, or to a different race as Rachel Dolezal demonstrated, but our afflictions can now be banished by decree.

The Shredder

Catch-22 percent

H

ey everybody, let’s have fun with math! SLO County has 181,894 registered voters. On Tuesday, June 7, only 39,777 votes were cast, which means 78 percent of you didn’t bother to vote, and when I say “you,” I clearly don’t mean “you” who’s reading this column because I’m betting you did vote. I’m talking about the 142,117 of your fellow citizens too apathetic to participate in democracy—the self-disenfranchisers, the ones who look at the state of the their city, county, country, and world and say, “Meh, good enough.”

But for you wondrous, patriotic, determined 22-percenters, all eyes on the boy wonder! Despite the blow the new Republican-approved Patten Map did to Jimmy Paulding’s base when it gerrymandered Oceano out of the 4th District, it looks like Paulding will unseat Lynn Compton anyway, which means the unswingable SLO County Board of Supervisors is about to get swung, baby!

That’s good news for liberals if the 2nd District’s Bruce Gibson (currently ahead with almost 53 percent) and the 3rd District’s Dawn Ortiz-Legg (currently claiming nearly 65 percent) retain their seats to become the new liberal majority with Paulding. The question is: Will they be willing to use their power in the same cutthroat, united way the conservatives have done lo these many years? Seems Ortiz-Legg is the wild card.

The board recently voted to repeal the inclusionary housing ordinance that helps create low-income housing in the

county, and guess who abstained?

Yeah, Ortiz-Legg, who’d better grow a backbone if she plans to lead and solve our problems. She didn’t like the fee and didn’t like that there was nothing to replace it, so … punt? She said she wanted to “slide under the dais”—spine implant, stat!— rather than take a stand on the issue. Come on, Dawn! Vote your values; don’t fish for construction industry support! Represent District 3, which has 14,955 registered Democrats to 6,366 Republicans.

Oh, and before the conservatives start with their, “See! The Patten Map didn’t gerrymander and Paulding’s win proves it,” they should check themselves before they wreck themselves because the Patton Map absolutely disadvantaged Paulding.

Of the 40,057 4th District voters, only 13,776 are Democrats compared to 15,689 Republicans, and add in the 1,594 registered extra-right-wing American Independents and 547 registered Libertarians, and the 4th should be reliably conservative, which means conservatives didn’t get the vote out or people are really over Lynn Compton.

CA residents scramble to get State Silver Bank Rolls CALIFORNIA Once California residents got wind that California State Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them.

That’s because they are the only Bank Rolls known to exist with the exclusive State Restricted Design.

“The phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s because everyone will be trying to get them while they still can,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders.

In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 California State

Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chance to get your hands on these State Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of California residents already have and you don’t want to miss out.

You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped minting these Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars in 1947 and there can never be any more which moves them into the collectible coin status.

And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value.

That’s why the state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walk-

ing Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Roll is a deal too good to pass up.

But you better hurry because these California State Bank Rolls themselves have been marked State Restricted by price which means the state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury is restricted to California residents and non-state residents must pay full price if any remain.

That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones.

Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Bank Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.

■ GOT ‘EM: These are the only Walking Liberty Bank Rolls known to exist with the exclusive State Restricted Design. Each Bank Roll is loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars some dating back to the early 1900’s so everyone who wants them better hurry.

Only State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to California residents California residents get first dibs on Sealed Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value starting at 7:30 am today

CALIFORNIA - “California residents get first dibs. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury.

Beginning at precisely 7:30 am this morning State of California Sealed Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are actually being handed over to California residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication.

“National Mint and Treasury recently spoke with its Chief Professional Numismatist who said ‘Very few people have ever actually saw one of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Bank Rolls is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said.

“But here’s the good news. The Bank Rolls themselves have been marked State Restricted by price which means the state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury is restricted to California residents only and non-state residents must pay full price if any Bank Rolls remain,” Lynne confirmed This is important to note. “These are the only California State Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls known to exist. You can’t get them at banks or credit unions or the Government since they do not produce State Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls. In fact, you can only get them bearing the exclusive State Restricted Design and rolled this way

directly from National Mint and Treasury,” Lynne explained.

“Now that the State of California Sealed Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of California residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident while they still can,” said Lynne.

“That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars found inside the Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are 90% pure silver so California residents who get their hands on them will be glad they did,” Lynne went on to say.

And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of California you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s 15 U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because state residents who miss the deadline and non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline.

“U.S. Gov’t issued coins like these are 90% pure silver and a favorite of dealers, collectors and the like,” Lynne said.

“We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. So the only thing readers need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of California and call the State TollFree Hotlines printed in today’s publication,” Lynne said. ■

SILVER: One of the last Silver coins minted for circulation

LAST MINTED: in Philadelphia, Denver & San Francisco

STATE MINIMUM: Of just $39 per coin set by National Mint and Treasury

ENLARGED: Year varies 1916-1947

RARELY SEEN: Minted by the U.S. mint in the early 1900’s

TO CLAIM THE CALIFORNIA STATE BANK ROLLS CALL: 1-800-260-7945 EXT. WHH1008 Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:

Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberty Half Dollars were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. So there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

How much are State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls worth:

It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberty Half Dollars date back to the early 1900’s and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them.

Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know Walking Liberties are collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

How do I get the State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls:

California residents are authorized to claim up to the limit of 4 California State Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls by calling the State Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-260-7945 Ext. WHH1008 starting at precisely 8:30 am this morning.

Everyone who does is getting the only California State Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist with the exclusive State Restricted Design. That’s a full Bank Roll containing 15 Silver Walking Liberties from the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Rolls and that’s a real steal because non state residents must pay $1,770 for each California State Walking Liberty Silver Bank Roll if any remain.

WHAT ARE YOU SEEING THIS WEEKEND?

REINVIGORATE LOCAL ARTS WITH A TICKET PURCHASE TODAY!

The pandemic has changed our lives in many ways and has devasted arts industries.

Estimated total losses in the nonprofit performing arts industry will likely exceed $3.2B. Ticket sales are predicted to reach only 59-66% of the previous 4-year high; low attendance may continue for years, further putting arts organizations at risk.

Quantifying the impact of the pandemic on this industry provides an opportunity for our community to play a part in the sustainability of local live events.

Continue to help us SPARK the Arts!

EMPLOYMENT

STAFF WRITER

New Times in San Luis Obispo County is looking for its next staff writer, but we’re not looking for just any article-pushing, sourcewrangling, story-chasing someone.

Are you sick of editing or regurgitating press releases day after day? Or maybe it’s those damn list things—you know the ones: “Top 10 hottest places to eat your lunch on a rainy day.” Or maybe it’s just not being able to put the time and reporting into a story that deserves it: the weeks and repeated phone calls that give a story what it needs to ripen into the hard-charging, data-filled narrative it’s dying to be; the time that turns a “meh” story into one that blows a hole in the status quo.

Can you see the big picture of what a story means to a community? Is that what drives you? Do you know what it takes to—yes, we know, it’s cliché— make a difference in the lives of the people you cover? Does that sort of thing matter to you?

If so, then you’re exactly who we’re looking for: a staff writer who isn’t afraid to take on the tedious, the tenuous, or the talented. That certain someone who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to the communities of San Luis Obispo County. Agricultural, water, and environmental advocacy aren’t the only things that drive this place—although those are pretty juicy beats. There’s more, and we want to hire someone who can drive his or herself to unearth those stories and tell them in a meaningful way.

Let us know if you’ve got what it takes.

We dare you.

A

s Cal State Oceano’s head honcho, Dean DeVille, breaks into his very own rendition of “If I Were a Rich Man,” strutting and shaking his booty across his office on the Great American Melodrama’s stage, the audience bursts into laughter.

“Na, na, na, na, na, na,” he crooned from beneath his three-piece suit one Sunday evening in May. Billy Breed sang the Fiddler on the Roof tune that inspired Gwen Stefani’s “If I Were a Rich Girl” while reprising his role as the dastardly DeVille in The Mark of Morro, which Jordan Richardson and Eric Hoit wrote specifically for The Melodrama and made its debut in 2014.

Directed by longtime Melodrama staple Hoit in both 2014 and 2022, the current version of the play is updated with new jokes, new cast members, and songs, according to Melodrama Interim Artistic Director Katie Worley-Beck.

“We were lucky to have one of our writers directing the show again to make those changes,” Worley-Beck said. “With a fresh cast, the show has been given a new life.”

But The Mark of Morro still focuses on Mark (Mike Fiore), his obsession with a swashbuckling comic book hero, El Morro de San Luis Obispo (John Keating), and the struggle Mark has becoming the person who his classmates believe he can be.

Flashing between El Morro’s trouble in the 19th century and Mark’s trouble on campus in the present day, The Mark of Morro plops audiences onto the Cal State Oceano campus as Mark deals with his annoying roommate, Dax (Hank Fisher)—who also happens to be the

Get weird W riter-director David Cronenberg (The Fly, A History of Violence, Eastern Promises) helms this sci-fi horror film set in the future, where performance artist Saul Tenser (frequent collaborator Viggo Mortensen) has his organs removed before a live audience with help from his assistant and partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux). Saul suffers from “accelerated evolution syndrome,” which causes him to grow new organs, but his performances draw the attention of the National Organ Registry, its chief bureaucrat Wippet (Don McKellar), and his assistant Timlin (Kristen Stewart), who develops an unhealthy fascination with Saul after witnessing a performance.

(107 min.)

Glen I’ve seen most of auteur David Cronenberg’s films, but two in particular seem to be informing Crimes of the Future: Crash (1996), about a group of sex fetishists who are erotically satisfied by experiencing body-mangling car crashes; and eXistenZ (1999), about a video game designer who’s created an apparatus that looks like something alien yet organic, which is an interface to a virtual world.

In this film, Saul has three similarly weird devices: He sleeps in an OrchidBed that’s supposed to aid in his rest; he has a chair designed to help him eat and digest food; and he performs in a device originally designed to perform autopsies.

He and Caprice’s performances are highly sexual. As one character says, “Surgery is the new sex,” and indeed, in this futuristic world humans don’t seem to feel pain as we do, and many are growing new organs that may be a step in human evolution, such as an underground group that’s developed a digestive tract that can eat and digest plastic. It feels like a commentary on the increasingly synthetic and toxic environment we’ve created, as well as a comment on extreme body modification and sadomasochistic sex practices. It’s a weird, challenging film, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since I saw it.

Anna For some reason, I can’t keep the title of this film straight—maybe some

Downtown Centre of San Luis Obispo weird brain thing that puts Crimes of the Future and Crimes of Grindewald too close together, so every time someone has asked what we watched this week I end up saying, “Some really weird horror movie,” and then go on to explain (or try to) the premise of this film. All that’s to say that my review of this film may be a bit stunted, quite frankly, because I kind of just don’t get it. I actually really appreciate when a film has the wherewithal to make me uncomfortable; it can show some great skill on the part of the filmmaker when it’s done in a way that isn’t just for jump scares. I did feel uncomfortable here, and Cronenberg definitely has a skill for this type of work. He paints a bleak future full of abandoned ships, lurking figures, and the mundane shop talk of Saul and Caprice’s uncomfortable and visceral business. The film is certainly offering up commentary on our world and the razor’s edge we walk with fascinations of violence and death.

f you’re ready to be transported to small-town Texas circa 1980, tune into Candy. Between the sets and décor, the costuming, and the hairstyles, this Hulu original series perfectly captures the era.

Candy Montgomery seems to be a typical mother and housewife, yet when a friend is brutally murdered, it becomes clear this churchgoing, smiling beacon has a whole lot of dirty secrets.

Jessica Biel takes on the titular role, which is based on an actual case from 1980 in which Betty Gore was savagely killed with an ax in her home while her husband was away and her young baby cried out from her crib. Biel has been taking on some heavy hitters lately. The Sinner was a wonderful and mysterious miniseries, and she does it again here.

Betty Gore is played by Melanie Lynskey—the less confident, less charismatic neighborhood figure who looks up to Candy and her seemingly

Glen Early in his career, Cronenberg made a film with the same unmemorable name, but that Crimes of the Future (1970) focused on a dermatologist and a plague that killed all sexually mature women who used cosmetic products.

Can we just agree that Cronenberg is a singular visionary? His ’70s and ’80s work was campy and intelligent fun.

Shivers (1975), Rabid (1977), The Brood (1979), Scanners (1981), and Videodrome (1983) were really interesting horror films. He found mainstream success with The Dead Zone (1983), The Fly (1983), and Dead Ringers (1988). This new film is straight-up weird, and I’m guessing a lot of people won’t like it. Its Rotten Tomatoes audience score is 45 percent.

I’m glad I saw it, but go only if you want to revel in creepy oddity.

Anna It doesn’t fall into the category of “must see” for me, though the leads give it their all. Creepy, weird, how many different ways can I describe how odd and unsettling this film is? It’s a tough one to recommend, so trust your gut when it comes to taking this movie on—it isn’t going to be for everyone. Δ

Amid competing factions, he’s forced to confront his own morals about what it means to be a good man.

I’m only four episodes into this first season, which was released in 2021 but that’s now being doled out one episode a week on Paramount. If I could binge it all, I would. Pickett is a deeply engaging and sympathetic character.

I

n his famous song “The Road Goes On Forever,” Robert Earl Keen weaves the tragic story of Sherry and Sonny and their crime spree that sends Sonny to the chair, with its familiar chorus: “The road goes on forever and the party never ends.” It certainly seemed like that for the tirelessly touring Keen, but now after more than four decades on the road, he’s calling it quits.

New Times spoke to the prolific singersongwriter via phone after his gig in Tampa, Florida, before he left for another in Savanna, Georgia. Is it true? Is he really done?

“Yes, I am,” he said solemnly. “On Jan. 14, I made the announcement that after 41 years of being out on the road, I was going to retire from the road life but continue in the music business and do a whole variety of things. In January, I told folks they had the next nine months to come see me, and I filled out a tour that pretty much covers places I’ve played over the past 41 years and specifically places I like to play. Of the 80 dates booked, we’ve done about 30 of those and we have about 50 more.”

One of those remaining concerts is the closing night of the Live Oak Music Festival scheduled Friday, June 17, through Sunday, June 19, at El Chorro Regional Park (visit liveoakfest.org for ticket info). Keen will take the stage at 7 p.m., shortly after The Dustbowl Revival. The day’s music also includes Southern Culture on the Skids, Steve Poltz, Wolf Jett, Raye Zaragoza, La Doña, The Riverside, Graybill, and Mothra. There’s also a jamming workshop with Phil Salazar scheduled.

The lineups for Friday and Saturday are equally impressive.

So what does life after a touring music career look like for Keen?

“I have a podcast called Americana Podcast that comes out once a month, but I’m going to have it on a more frequent basis and expand it to more than just singer-songwriters,” Keen said. “I built a video studio in the last couple years, so I’m going to do more videos and more streaming. I want to create some kind of collective that helps younger artists navigate the music business and answer questions they can’t get answered by their manager or record company exec.”

On this final tour, fans can look forward to hearing the songs that made Keen famous: “Feelin’ Good Again,” “Merry Christmas From the Family,” “Gringo Honeymoon,” “That Buckin’ Song,” and many more.

“They can expect for me to hit the high points,” he said. “I’m not going around doing all the side-B’s or oddball songs

and such; however, I do change it up every night. In general, we’ve extended our set from the usual 90 to 100 minutes to almost a Bruce Springsteen-like thing— without the sweat and running around stage—that gets closer to three hours.

I try to play as much as I possibly can without wearing people out. The idea really truly is to put it out there for the fans. They’re the ones that made this whole touring life possible.”

Are there any of his hits that he just won’t do anymore?

“No, I never have really gotten tired of any songs, you know? Like I said, I’m very fan oriented, and I feel lucky that they like ’em. At the same time, I like those songs for some of the same reasons because they have a cool message or a cool vibe or a cool beat, so I don’t really feel like there’s any kind of song that I don’t still have some kind of affinity for. Who’s lucky enough to write their own songs and still like ’em?”

Keen’s certainly trying to go out with a bang on this final trek across the country, and like the Grateful Dead, he has some fans who are just following him around from one stop to another.

“At the end we’re doing three shows in what I call my backyard, Helotes, Texas, near San Antonio, at a place called Floore’s Country Store, which holds about 4,000, and they’ve already sold out, and there’s another show in College Station, Texas, at Aggie’s Park that holds 10,000.”

The Live Oak Fest is one of only four California dates, which also include San Francisco’s The Fillmore, Mill Valley’s Sweetwater Music Hall, and the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz—Sweetwater and Rio are sold out. Does Keen remember when he played Live Oak back in 2001, 2005, and 2013?

New Times in San Luis Obispo is looking for its next freelance arts writer, but we’re not looking for just any art-ogling, content-wrangling someone.

Can you find the unassuming local artist who’s about to blow a hole in the status quo? Do you know what it means to find the culture that matters to a community—the stuff that gives a population its heartbeat, its soul?

That sweet spot where culture, politics, art, and society collide into a massive chaotic hurricane of beautiful expression?

If so, then that’s exactly who we’re looking for: an arts writer who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to San Luis Obispo County. It’s not all about vineyards, rolling hills, and pounding surf brushed with light, ethereal watercolors (although that’s definitely here). It’s about that human element and where creativity lives. Can you find it?

Let us know if you’ve got what it takes. We dare you. Send résumé and clips to Camillia Lanham at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

(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: July 12, 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 1035 Palm Street, Room 385, 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.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE APN: 005-085-009 TS No: CA07000771-21-1 TO No: 210753642-CAVOI

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 Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07000771-21-1.

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 NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are 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 www.Auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07000771-21-1 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.

LEGAL NOTICES domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during a marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption.

You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology

MID-STATE FAIR JULY 20–31, 2022

Homework: What part of your life would most benefit from redemption and regeneration? Newsletter.freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): “It takes a spasm of love to write a poem,” wrote Aries author Erica Jong. I will add that it takes a spasm of love to fix a problem with someone you care about. It also takes a spasm of love to act with kindness when you don’t feel kind. A spasm of love is helpful when you need to act with integrity in a confusing situation and when you want to heal the past so it doesn’t plague the future. All the above advice should be useful for you in the coming weeks, Aries. Are there any other variations you can think of? Fill in the blank in the next sentence: It takes a spasm of love to _____________.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The great epochs of our life come when we gain the courage to rechristen our badness as what is best in us,” wrote philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. When I read that ambitious epigram, I didn’t know what he was referring to. By “badness,” did he mean the ugly, pathological parts of us? That couldn’t be right. So I read scholars who had studied the great philosopher. Their interpretation: Nietzsche believed the urges that some religions seek to inhibit are actually healthy for us. We should celebrate, not suppress, our inclinations to enjoy sensual delights and lusty living. In fact, we should define them as being the best in us.

I encourage you Bulls to do just that in the coming weeks. It’s a favorable time to intensify your devotion to joy, pleasure, and revelry.

(May 21-June 20): It’s an excellent time to correct and uplift your self-image. I invite you to speak the following affirmations aloud: “I am not damaged. I am not on the wrong path. I am not inept or ignorant or off-kilter. The truth is, I am learning how to live. I am learning how to be a soulful human and I am doing a reasonably good job at that task. I do a lot of things really well. I’m getting to know myself better every day. I constantly surprise myself with how skilled I am at adjusting to life’s constant changes. I am amazed at how much progress I have made in learning how to live.”

am so, so sleepy.” Frogbestfriend is humorously suggesting that his inability to maintain good sleep habits is rooted in civilization’s dysfunctions. He’s right, of course! Many of our seemingly personal problems are at least partially rooted in the pathological ways the whole world operates. Our culture influences us to do things that aren’t always healthy and wise. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because now is a favorable time to meditate on society’s crazy-making effects on you. Now is also a pivotal moment to heal yourself of those crazy-making effects.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Maggie Smith writes, “We talk so much of light. Please let me speak on behalf of the good dark. Let us talk more of how dark the beginning of a day is.”

I offer her proposal as a fertile theme for your meditations.

Of all the signs in the zodiac, you Scorpios are most skilled at teasing out the good stuff from shadows and secrets and twilight. And your potency in these matters is even higher than usual right now. Do us all a favor and find the hidden redemptions and potential regenerations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When actors and other creative people in film win Oscars at the Academy Awards ceremony, they come on stage and deliver short talks, acknowledging their honor.

These speeches often include expressions of gratitude. An analysis revealed that over the years, Sagittarian director Steven Spielberg has been thanked by winners more often than anyone else—even more than God. Based on my reading of astrological omens, I believe you deserve that level of appreciation in the coming weeks. Please show this horoscope to everyone you know who may be willing to carry out my mandate. Be proactive in collecting tribute, credit, and favors.

CAPRICORN

(June 21-July 22): In the Tibetan language, the term nyingdula means “most honored poison of my heart.” Many of us know at least one person who fits that description: an enemy we love to hate or a loved one who keeps tweaking our destiny or a paradoxical ally who is both hurtful and helpful.

According to my analysis, it’s time for you to transform your relationship with a certain nyingdu-la in your life. The bond between you might have generated vital lessons for you. But now it’s time for a re-evaluation and redefinition.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the ancient Greek story of Odysseus, the hero leaves his home in Ithaka to fight in the Trojan War. When the conflict is over, he yearns to return to the beloved life he left behind. But his journey takes 10 years.

His tests and travails are many. The 20th-century Greek poet C.P. Cavafy offered advice to Odysseus at the beginning of his quest: “As you set out for Ithaka, hope your road is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery. ... Keep Ithaca always in your mind. Arriving there is what you’re destined for. But don’t hurry the journey. Better if it lasts for years, so you’re old by the time you reach the island, wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way.” As you begin your new phase of returning home, Capricorn, I invite you to keep Cavafy’s thoughts in mind. (Read the poem: tinyurl.com/HomeToIthaka.

LEO

AQUARIUS

CANCER

(July 23-Aug. 22): “Don’t pray for the rain to stop,” advises Leo poet Wendell Berry. “Pray for good luck fishing when the river floods.” That’s useful advice for you, my dear. The situation you’re in could turn out to be a case of either weird luck or good luck. And how you interpret the situation may have a big impact on which kind of luck it brings. I urge you to define the potential opportunities that are brewing and concentrate on feeding them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo writer Julio Cortázar (1914-1984) once remarked, “How tiring it gets being the same person all the time.” That’s surprising. In fact, Cortázar was an innovative and influential author who wrote more than 30 books in four genres and lived for extended periods in five countries. It’s hard to imagine him ever being bored by his multifaceted self. Even if you’re not a superstar like Cortázar, Virgo, I expect you will be highly entertained and amused by your life in the coming weeks. I bet you will be even more interesting than usual. Best of all, you will learn many fresh secrets about your mysterious soul.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The blogger Frogbestfriend says, “One of the biggest problems with society nowadays is that I

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I have never, ever, ever met anyone who has regretted following their heart,” writes life coach Marie Forleo. But what exactly does she mean by “following their heart”? Does that mean ignoring cautions offered by your mind? Not necessarily. Does it require you to ignore everyone’s opinions about what you should do? Possibly.

When you follow your heart, must you sacrifice money and status and security? In some cases, yes. But in other cases, following your heart may ultimately enhance your relationship with money and status and security. Anyway, Aquarius. I hope I’ve inspired you to meditate on what it means to follow your heart—and how you can do that intensely during the coming months.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Actor and author Jenny Slate testifies, “As the image of myself becomes sharper in my brain and more precious, I feel less afraid that someone else will erase me by denying me love.” That is the single best inspirational message I can offer you right now. In the coming months, you will earn the right and the capacity to make the same declaration. Your self-definition will become progressively clearer and stronger. And this waxing superpower will enable you to conquer at least some of your fear about not getting enough love. ∆
