A few years ago, while investigating the county’s lack of “missing middle” housing, Tompkins said he learned that the Cañada Ranch between Tefft Street and Willow Road was identified by SLO County as the only site in South County available to “move the needle” on housing.Theplans that his team at NKT Commercial drew up attempt to strike a balance to meet a variety of Nipomo’s needs, he said. One need is affordable and middle-income housing; another is traffic improvements between Tefft and Willow; and another is water and sewer challenges.OneofDana Reserve’s 10 neighborhoods will be entirely low-income affordable housing, owned and managed by nonprofit People’s SelfHelp Housing (which Tompkins is on the board of); about a third of the remaining homes will be luxury homes priced at around $1 million; and the final two-thirds of homes will be priced between $500,000 and $700,000, he said.

“The tree deal to me is something I actually understand,” he said. “It’s the one thing when we went into this, I’m walking with wife and said, it’s the one part I hate. They’re beautiful trees. That is why we were glad to be able to permanently protect through conservation easements four to five existing mature trees for every one tree we remove to build homes.”

TALKING IMPACTS Backdropped by the site of the would-be Dana Reserve housing development with 1,289 proposed homes and units, Nipomo residents Alison Martinez (left) and Kelly Kephart explain why they oppose it.

“The math works for Nipomo … and these are all things that start to fall apart when you change the project,” Tompkins said. “It’s trying to thread the needle and come up with something that I recognize is going to be impossible for a lot of people to get comfortable with.”Asmitigation

“Do I feel like the county wants to listen to us? No. Do I think the county wants to push this through as fast as possible? Yes,” Kephart said. “I think we still need to push for public involvement, because this is supposed to be a public process. We’ve put a lot of effort into education and even if we don’t make headway, I’ll feel like at least we did something.”

In general, Tompkins emphasized that he carefully structured the size of the development, the fees he’ll pay, and the infrastructure improvements he’ll invest in to meet Nipomo’s needs. He argued that Nipomo’s traffic will improve as a result of his road improvements, with the exception of the Willow Road and Highway 101 interchange area. He said water and sewer rates will drop with the project, thanks to a contractual wrinkle between the Nipomo CSD and city of Santa Maria that gives Nipomo additional water from Santa Maria that

Dana Reserve developer Nick Tompkins—a Nipomo resident himself—told New Times that he understands the community’s concerns about the project, but believes his development solves more problems than it creates.

The overarching issue, they said, is the size, scope, and scale of the development. While Kephart’s initial concern was over biological impacts, Martinez’s was traffic. Both said that when the draft EIR came out in June, the additional impacts it cited concerned them and their neighbors.

development on the ranch site. But pointing to the draft EIR, they argued that the county never planned for such a surge of housing in Nipomo. They don’t think the town’s infrastructure is prepared, from its roads, to its schools, to its public safety services.“Wedefinitely need [more housing], but there has to be some sort of balance,” Kephart said. “Is removing 4,000 oaks trees balance? Is developing this at such a rate that the rest of us have these potential safety issues balance?”

Neither resident said they are opposed to any

So far, Martinez and her allies have collected more than 2,000 signatures in opposition to the project.“We’re not saying don’t do the project,” Martinez told New Times as she looked out at the 288-acre cattle ranch around the corner from her house that’s slated for 10 new neighborhoods. “We know growth is going to happen. We know housing is an issue. But do it responsibly.”Armedwith facts, data, and plenty of signs, Martinez stood side by side with fellow resident Kelly Kephart in front of the project site on Sept. 9. Their opposition to Dana Reserve is not about NIMBYism (Not In My Backyard), they said. It’s about communitywide impacts—six major ones, according to a draft environmental impact report (EIR), including the removal of nearly 4,000 oak trees.

down Pomeroy Road in Nipomo, and you immediately see the signs.

“I didn’t realize that the air quality fugitive emissions are going to be as high as they are on a daily basis [during construction],” Kephart said. “That makes me worried for my kids. I’m right next to it.”

“It’s not just oak trees,” explained Kephart, a biologist, mother of two, and 17-year Nipomo resident. “They’re removing 97 percent of Burton Mesa chaparral, a sensitive habitat. … One day, I looked out at all the oak trees there, and I said, I can’t just not speak up. Something has to happen. There has to be some kind of pushback.”Martinez and Kephart didn’t know each other until they connected on social media over the project. Since then, they’ve worked together to alert the community and build a movement against it.

The club isn’t the only political organization that’s used the overpass for demonstrations.

According to Janice Mundee, a group of Trump supporters has gathered on the south side of the overpass for several months.

As the Dana Reserve moves forward with the county’s entitlement process, Martinez and Kephart said they’ll continue to lift up the community’s concerns and make their voices heard. Whether their activism will result in changes to the project or not remains to be seen.

Actualmente nuestro centro es un pueblo fantasma lleno de desagrados; Para revertir esto, necesitamos dejar de cobrar por estacionar por la ciudad, convertir el Departamento de control de estacionamiento en guardabosques para que puedan manejar llamadas de servicio que no sean de emergencia, lo que liberará a nuestra policía para detener el crimen callejero en toda nuestra ciudad centro ¡algo de lo que son capaces!

“We publicly protested because people need to know there are other people who think like you do, and it’s OK to stand up,” Mundee said.

We’re at a clear juncture in this coming election, there’s three “Progressives” on the ballot (two of them incumbents) and three Moderates. We can continue on the “Progressive Path” we’re on (how’s that working out for us?) or we can elect the three Moderates on the ballot to create a Moderate Majority on the City Council..

By 9 a.m. on Sept. 20, the group of eight was approached by 46-year-old Miguel Angel Olivares of Arroyo Grande. According to Mundee, Olivares had parked his car down the street from the demonstrators and began harassing the group in an attempt to get someone to engage with him.

En pocas palabras, no me interesa coleccionar unos cuantos dólares para estacionamiento que luego se usan para pagar los salarios de los empleados que gastan en las ciudades en las que viven, me interesa en que la gente gaste un par de cientos de dólares en nuestra ciudad para cenas elegantes al aire libre, mercadería de calidad al aire libre, reuniones y eventos al aire libre; todo esto y más en nuestro renovado Centro Peatonal y Familiar, dólares que se gastarán 10 veces en nuestra Ciudad!

As your Mayor there are many things I would and wouldn’t do:

Currently our Downtown is a ghost town full of unpleasantness; to reverse this we need to stop charging for parking throughout the City, turn the Parking Enforcement Department into Rangers so they can handle non-emergency calls for service which will free up our Police to bring street crime to a halt throughout our City, something they are well capable of!

According to San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Tony Cipolla, deputies arrested Olivares in connection with two counts of elder abuse with great bodily injury because two of the victims were older than 65, the unlawful use of tear gas, and resisting arrest. Officers took Olivares to jail, where his bond is set at $50,000.

“He has a right to be there, so we decided we were just going to be there,” Mundee said. “We’re not going to engage with him. Because you can see he was pretty amped up.”

While the Atascadero Democratic Club has protested there every Monday for the past two months, this was the first time Mundee used a Facebook post to invite the public to join them.

Is Right for You?

Olivares was allegedly waving a pamphlet of the U.S. Constitution in the faces of demonstrators, verbally assaulting them, before making his way to Mundee’s husband, who was standing at the east end of the bridge. Mundee told her husband not to engage with Olivares and to put his sign up. That’s when he allegedly pulled out pepper spray and sprayed Mundee and her husband.

Then we close the Downtown streets to vehicles after delivery trucks leave each morning and let our merchants run amuck! Business that used to be conducted indoors needs outdoor space as folks don’t want to go in buildings any more, this being the new normal

“He left where his car was on the east side and continued west along the bridge,”

I wouldn’t build a fourth parking structure, I wouldn’t build a new Police headquarters, (save us a $100 million dollars right there) I wouldn’t keep charging for parking, I wouldn’t keep overpaying our appointed Employees, I wouldn’t put up with street crime, I wouldn’t keep allowing monolithic brick like buildings to be built, I wouldn’t let our downtown die, I would house and feed the homeless, (lodgings and a kitchen are already in place on Kansas Avenue) I would clean up our parks, our creeks and our neighborhoods and keep them clean to turn this town into the gem it once was!

In a nutshell, I’m not interested in collecting just a few bucks for parking that are then used to pay employees salaries which they spend in the cities they live in, I’m interested in folks spending a couple hundred dollars in our City for fine dining outdoors, quality merchandise outdoors, gatherings and events outdoors; all this and more in our revitalized pedestrian and Family Friendly Downtown, dollars that will be respent 10 times over in our City!

Ayer por la noche asistí a la Orientación de Candidatos en el Ayuntamiento, donde el único razonamiento para construir una cuarta estructura de estacionamiento consistío en “se ha hablado durante 20 años”. Mientras este proyecto se presentó como “necesario”, (no lo es) y “ahora es el momento”. para construirlo”, (con la falta de disponibilidad trabajo actual y materiales, realmente, no lo es) la suposición de que se utilizará no resiste el más mínimo escrutinio. Para colmo, nuestro Concejo Municipal actual, siguiendo el consejo del actual Director Ejecutivo de la Ciudad, ha duplicado las tarifas de estacionamiento (sofocando aún más nuestro centro de la ciudad que ya está en apuros) no para pagar la nueva estructura de estacionamiento pero para calificar para un préstamo para su construcción, gravandonos en la deuda que no crea ingresos fiables

I attended Candidate Orientation at City Hall yesterday evening where the only reasoning for building a fourth parking structure consisted of “it’s been talked about for 20 years” While this project was held forth as “needed”, (it’s not) and “now’s the time to build it”, (with current labor and materials unavailability it’s really really not) the assumption it will be utilized does not stand up to the slightest scrutiny. To top it off, our present City Council, in following the advice of the current City CEO has doubled parking fees (further stifling our already struggling downtown) not to pay for the new parking structure but to qualify for a loan for its construction, encumbering us in debt that doesn’t create dependable income.

County Public Health anticipates winter surge of COVID-19

“We all want to enjoy this winter without a terrible surge of COVID-19— nobody wants to get sick, and nobody wants our hospitals to be overwhelmed.

“Staying up to date on your COVID-19 vaccine protection—in addition to getting a flu shot—is the best way to protect

Those who can’t make it don’t need to worry, because there are plenty of boosters to go around. Residents can get their updated booster shots at doctor offices and pharmacies, or can schedule a visit to one of Public Health’s clinics.

RENDERING COURTESY OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO

APPROVED On Sept. 20, the SLO City Council denied an appeal of The Hub, paving the way for the new food, drink, and entertainment project to open on upper Monterey Street.

Dury told New Times that the big downside of having numerous vacation rentals with absent owners in a small town is the loss of community.

The last beach town of its kind to not have its own vacation rental ordinance— according to the OAC—Oceano kicked discussions into gear about a draft plan that the council could one day present to county officials for review and adoption.

OAC Co-Chair April Dury told New Times that in spite of being grandfathered in, inland rentals that eventually become noncompliant would have to fit all the new rules in the proposed ordinance to resume renting.“What would happen is as they become out of compliance or they don’t renew their license or they stop operating as a shortterm rental, then that [rental] would go away completely,” Dury said. “But let’s say they were within the buffer zone, so now they automatically can’t get a license, … so they’ve lost their grandfathered-in privilege.”However, at the meeting, a handful of people were apprehensive about the proposal.Grover Beach resident Lucy J. said that she was concerned the ordinance would increase the cost of vacation rentals. She said she chooses vacation rentals in Oceano over Pismo Beach and even her home city because of how affordable they are.Joel Anderson, an Oceano rental owner, said he was concerned about the proposal preventing owners from passing permits to new owners, especially when rental permits cost them “a few thousand dollars.”

“When you’re privileged enough to own a home at the beach, that comes with great title,” she said. “People are homeless in our community because the housing stock is being used up for vacation rentals and other things.”

A San Luis Obispo neighborhood worried about how rowdy bar and concert noise will impact their residences could not sway the SLO City Council from approving The Hub, a new project bringing a mix of food, drinks, and entertainment to upper Monterey Street.

“To the neighborhood, it’s really going to affect the quality of life. It’s not just the noise, it’s the vibration,” Councilmember Jan Marx said. “I have a general concern that the neighborhood needs more protection.”Councilmember Carlyn Christianson offered the most forceful defense of the project and the city’s planning process, and cautioned the council against requiring too many changes.

Oceano is governed by two separate sets of regulations that split the town along either side of Highway 1. The west side is in the coastal zone ruled by Title 23 in the county’s code, and the east side or the “inland area” follows Title 22. Most residents live inland, and the OAC is worried that growing vacation rentals like Airbnbs could shrink the already dwindling affordable housing stock.

yourself this winter, protect your family as we look ahead to the holiday season, and do your part to help protect our community’s hospital capacity ahead of a possible winter surge,” Cuddy said. “Getting boosted (much like the flu shot) re-ups your protection from COVID-19, specifically against the currently circulating variants.”

The Oceano Advisory Council (OAC) has ambitions to thicken the pages of San Luis Obispo County vacation rental code.

“This is not a hotel. It’s not 24/7. It’s not a concert venue. It’s not SLO Brew. It’s very specific hours,” Christianson said. “I’m a little concerned that every time we have something happen on Monterey in this neighborhood, we’re going to hear about these fears. … I just want to make sure we’re not going too far down the path of basically conditioning projects on fears.”

President Joe Biden might have said the pandemic is over, but health officials in SLO County actively“COVID-19disagree.isstillcirculatingin our community,” said Tom Cuddy, public information officer of the county Public Health Department.

“The previous booster doses are still available for children ages 5 to 11, at least five months after completing their original series,” Cuddy said.

Boosters and flu shots are among our most powerful tools to make that a reality,” Dr. Borenstein said. ∆

Currently, the west side houses 86 vacation rentals with owners that reside elsewhere, and the inland zone has 30. At the meeting, Varni said that the ordinance proposed by the advisory council would grandfather in all the existing rentals while capping the number to 100 in the coastal half and zero in the inland half. Varni and the other council members drew up these suggestions after studying ordinances belonging to other coastal towns like Cayucos and Cambria.

According to Cuddy, the bivalent vaccines provide targeted protection against the omicron BA.4 and BA.5 strains of COVID-19 as well as the original strain. The effectiveness of previous versions of the booster shots actually decrease over time, which is why it’s important to get new and updated booster shots.

News NEWS from page 5 Act now! Send any news or story tips news@newtimesslo.com.to

In order to be eligible, residents can get a shot two months after their primary vaccinations or two months after receiving a previous booster dose.

For those interested in replenishing their protection against COVID-19, two options are available: a Moderna booster for ages 18 and older, and a Pfizer booster for ages 12 and older.

—Bulbul Rajagopal

In response to the Centers for Disease Control’s recommendation of the bivalent booster vaccine earlier this month, the SLO County Public Health Department started rolling out three mobile vaccine clinics where residents can get their omicron booster vaccines at no cost. The next vaccine clinic will take place on Sept. 23 at Oak Park in Paso Robles from 1 to 7:30 p.m., featuring a combo pack of booster vaccines and free tacos.

The incident prompted a response from the SLO County Democratic Party.

“People who don’t live here will not be voting,” she said. “There’s no sense of community when strangers are renting homes and we lose the ability to have homes for residents for long-term rental or ownership.”TheOAC will deliberate the proposed ordinance with further community input over the course of two more meetings. Their next discussion will take place virtually on Sept. 22 at 5:30 p.m. Once a draft is nailed down, the OAC will bring it to the county Planning Commission, which will ultimately vote on the matter. Any change to county code, or lack thereof, would not be expected until 2023.

“For more than a year we’ve seen the MAGA crowd on this same overpass, but their right to assemble peacefully was respected, as undemocratic and racist as their symbols are,” said party Chair Rita Casaverede. “No one attacked them. But, it only took weeks for them to come after our retired neighbors who are rallying in support of freedom and democracy.”

SLO neighborhooddenies appeal, approves The Hub project

After receiving Planning Commission approval in May, resident Hana Novak appealed The Hub to the City Council. Novak lives on San Luis Drive, a residential street that runs parallel to Monterey, but on the other side of a creek—which abuts The Hub and other businesses.“SanLuis Drive is a special neighborhood,” Novak told SLO City Council members at a Sept. 20 meeting. “Unfortunately, the creek does not buffer noise, privacy impacts, light, and glare from cars. We can hear noises from Cal Poly’s football games and other events happening over 2 miles away. We feel the proposed project uses are not compatible with the adjacent residential uses.”

A special ordinance dating back to 1989 already exists for the upper Monterey corridor—it requires specific design standards for new projects on Monterey to ensure compatibility with the San Luis DriveCityneighborhood.officialssaidthat The Hub meets those standards, and Peterson added that he and his partners are willing to take additional steps to try to ensure that The Hub’s sounds and lights do not impact neighbors.Afterasking a series of probing questions about possible noise and light mitigation measures, SLO City Council members voted unanimously to deny the appeal, while adding a condition that The Hub use some sort of “sound curtain” to contain noise from its indoor concerts.

Take it from attorney Erik Howell, a one-time California Coastal Commission member and Pismo Beach City Council member. Howell ran unsuccessfully for City Council reelection in 2020 but hopes for a better outcome this time around. He’s one of five candidates eligible to run for two open spots, while current Mayor Ed Waage is running unopposed for his seat.

its South County counterparts, Pismo Beach is gearing up for a municipal election devoid of the new by-district voting system and term limits.

voice, they are not always completely listened to. I would like to see an even ground,” Lossing said.

Havingtime.fresh faces on the city dais is something Inman said she’s looking forward to, and she added that council members who spend too much time in their position stand to contract “tunnel vision.”

In February 2019, Howell had his law license suspended for 60 days by the state bar for professional misconduct. Prior to that, in 2018, he belonged to a group of Coastal Commission members who were fined for failing to adhere to the rules about disclosing ex parte communications. In 2016, some Pismo Beach community members filed a complaint against him with the state’s Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), alleging that he improperly voted in favor of a proposed development project after receiving a hefty campaign contribution. FPPC investigators cleared Howell of the violation later that year.

Both Inman and Lossing would be new to City Council if they win the seats held by current Councilmembers Sheila Blake and Mary Ann Reiss who completed their four-year terms. While Reiss is running for reelection, Blake didn’t turn in the signatures required to be a nominated candidate, so she’s ineligible to run.

OLD AND NEW While (left to right)

Erik Howell and Mary Ann Reiss have served on Pismo Beach City Council before, Stacy Inman and Debora Lossing would be new to the dais if they win.

While the beach city differs in some ways from its neighbors, the election season holds at least one constant for all: another shot at victory.

Howell’s not the only one who thinks Pismo Beach could stand to receive more community input. Two-time City Council contender and professional bodybuilder Debora Lossing wants residents to have more of a voice during public comment periods so that everyone’s concerns get heard.“Specifically, with the city, I’ve learned that some of the issues that people may

The plan for a spaceport is twofold. First, Paso must gain its spaceport license to begin any work related to the project. The city expects to submit its license application to the FAA by May 2023. Second, the city wants to expand its tech corridor. According to Economic Manager Sloan, the tech corridor aims to spur regional development by using the city-owned land around the airport for business and tech parks.

Instead,said. he said that the feedback they received was encouraging.

Martin said that the project will impact SLO County and its neighboring counties, including Monterey, Kern, and Santa Barbara.

“[We started off] with the tech corridor and bringing jobs [to Paso Robles] and the spaceport just popped up,” Sloan said. “Looking at space tech is more fun than other kinds of tech because it’s space and everyone gets excited.”

and then they come back down and land back on the runway, horizontally,” Sloan said. “And the payloads that they are delivering are cubesats.”

Launches. Lift-off.

For Paso Robles’ residents, those words could sound like something straight from a science fiction movie. But they could become a realistic possibility if the Paso Robles Municipal Airport gets to a place where it could not only launch commercial aircraft, but also space jets.

The idea to build a spaceport at the Paso airport was conceived nearly a year and a half ago at a lunch meeting between city Mayor Steve Martin, Economic Development Manager Paul Sloan, and Airport Commissioner and Cal Poly Chief Information Officer Bill Britton.Britton first suggested the idea of building a spaceport as a way to expand Cal Poly’s CubeSat Laboratory program. The program allows students to build miniature satellites, commonly known as cubesats, to be launched into space.

Paso Robles officials believe a spaceport is

Whensaid.most people think about space, they usually envision big rockets blasting off, Sloan said. But that wouldn’t be the case in Paso Robles. The goal is to have a horizontal launch where spaceplanes take off from a traditional runway.“They fly up to low Earth orbit, they deploy their payloads,

Paso is looking at aircraft models with a hydrogen-based platform, he said, which is not only quiet, but also has green, non-carbon-based emissions. The cubesats they would carry from Cal Poly students could be used for anything from crop management to communications.

The idea grabbed Martin’s attention and bloomed into a way to facilitate potential economic development in Paso and provide future jobs for Cal Poly and Cuesta College graduates. Paso Robles’ two biggest sources of revenue currently come from the wine and tourism industries. But when the pandemic hit, Martin said he realized how fragile those industries were.

While getting a spaceport license could lead to the next phase of conversations with companies that have expressed interest, for now, the spaceport is still a pipe dream that could come to fruition in the next two to three years. As Sloan said, Paso’s still in the early stages.

“Everything that we’re looking at is a much more eco friendly, noise friendly platform,” Britton said. “So we have several aircraft that are at the airport today. All of them are rated at a higher decibel level than any of the space platforms that we are looking at.”

“We anticipate that the proposal that Cal Poly is making to us to do all of this work is for about $110,000—and that’s about 10 percent of what we expected to spend,” Martin said.

“Nobody really knows what it’s going to do, and so that’s why I was concerned,” Mello told New Times. “I don’t think we know enough yet. I’m all for it. If that’s— if it goes Airportthrough.”Commissioner Britton said that the city has tried to raise awareness, listen to residents, and address their concerns at public meetings and forums.

by our Airport Commission and City Council.”Fivemonths later, the City Council gave the duo the green light to speak with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials to see if a spaceport was feasible for Paso Robles.

Residents have expressed concerns about noise and pollution from the jets. One such resident, Nancy Mello, shared those concerns during an Aug. 3, 2021, City Council meeting discussion about the spaceport. She told New Times that people who live near the airport might have to deal with loud spaceplanes launching and the dirt and dust that could come from construction.

“I think for Cal Poly students, not only is there the post graduating experience, but during school, there’s the opportunity to launch platforms that they build and design and don’t have to wait for years to do it,” Britton said.

“We’re seeing this continuing rolling effect of positive use of technology and people for the betterment of our region,” Britton added.

“It’s interesting how it’s creating its own gravity, it’s bringing people to us,” Sloan said of the spaceport. “It does not mean we will be successful, but we’re continuing forward to see where the path takes us.”

Cal Poly sees the benefits for its students and beyond, which incentivized the university to become a partner with the city, Martin said, and help with the spaceport license application process.

By January 2022, the city had commissioned a technical review from Tartaglia Engineering to determine the feasibility of a spaceport. Three months later, the report came back with positive news—constructing a spaceport in Paso was possible. By April, companies were contacting Sloan and Britton expressing interest in the spaceport. The city has signed letters of intent with three companies and Cal Poly, but Sloan said that more than a dozen companies have expressed interest.

“One of the shortfalls of that program is that the students will build a satellite and then they can wait as many as five years to launch that platform because they’re waiting for a ride-sharing on one of the larger vertical lift platforms,” Britton said.

“There’s internships that are generated. There’s opportunities to work on studies and projects and research.”

“We decided that the space industry and the accompanying tech industry would be a good new business sector for the city that would attract good high paying jobs, provide opportunities for local students who go to college and get engineering degrees,” Martin said. “And then down the road in the future would provide new sources of revenue for the citizens in the city of Paso Robles.”

“Without us, there would be no place to get these animals the care they need,” Johnson said. “We’re lucky to have one here, and we have incredible community support. It takes all of that to continue the mission.”

Plans for a brand-new wildlife care facility just outside the city of SLO earned county permit approvals on Sept 2. The proposed center, with more than 40,000 combined square feet of indoor and outdoor space, would be built on a 10-acre plot of land on Buckley Road.

Johnson said Pacific Wildlife Care will be launching a capital campaign in the next year to raise money for the new building. Currently, the organization needs support for its day-to-day operations. This April and May were record-breaking months in terms of the number of wild animals brought to its clinic.“The vast majority of animal injuries we see are a result of human behavior,” Johnson said. “For the most part, it’s catcaught animals, animals hit by vehicles, or they’re losing their habitat through development. It’s hard to be a wild animal in the world today.”

• San Luis Obispo County is a wineindustry hotspot for 2022. Recently announced nominations for Wine Enthusiast magazine’s Wine Star Awards—honoring individuals and companies that make outstanding contributions to the wine and alcohol beverage world—include Paso Robles’ Tablas Creek Vineyard for Innovator of the Year and Hope Family Wines for American Winery of the Year. Additionally, the new SLO Coast American Viticultural Area is vying for Wine Region of the Year. Winners will be announced in the magazine’s Best of Year issue and celebrated in January 2023. ∆

While the move may be a necessity, there are plenty of benefits to the project for Pacific Wildlife Care. A two-story, indoor clinic is planned alongside more than 30,000 square feet of outdoor space, including a designated flight area for rehabbing raptors.

According to Pacific Wildlife Care Executive Director Christine Johnson, the project is a daunting undertaking, but one the organization is enthused about.

“We’re really excited about a permanent home on a large piece of property,” she said.Uncertainty around the future of the Morro Bay power plant drove the nonprofit’s moving plans, Johnson explained. The three iconic smokestacks are set for demolition, and current owner Vistra Energy hopes to establish a battery storage facility there.

ew Times recently published a story about the sale of The Establishment, (“Saving community: The Establishment went up for sale this year, leaving stabbies, super stabbies, and extended community members worried about what it might become,” Aug. 11). It was a very well written article. I would just like to provide some corrections and add some clarification on things that were omitted. In 2019, my daughter and I had begun the process to have the property overhauled and fixed up. It needed a foundation and paint, plus other repairs. I was embarrassed by how rundown the outside of the house had become while waiting for bids, reports, and permits, which took months to obtain. Then, COVID-19 hit, which halted the

I feel it’s important to make known that almost all of the rooms in the Establishment have a corner sink, which really helped to alleviate some issues that could arise with the house only having four bathrooms.

Beauchamp. He attended junior and senior high school in San Luis Obispo. His personality would have made him a perfect tenant at The Establishment. His love for nature and creativeness would have made him fit in so well, had he not died at the age of 19. As an example, when Ben was 14 years old, during the summer at our family ranch and after breakfast, he would lie down on his back and place leftover scrambled eggs from breakfast around his lips. A wasp hole was about 6 feet away and he’d wait patiently for the wasps to buzz out of their holes and he’d let them land on his lips. He loved the feeling of their tiny, little feet scurrying around on his lips as they picked up the eggs and flew back to their holes.

Now that The Establishment has been sold, I couldn’t be happier that it was bought by former tenants and those willing to keep the house as it is—a community-living home. It’s a happy ending to a great story. ∆

improvements for two more years. This building was owned by me and some family members, and, in the end, when we were ready to go get a loan from the bank, the family decided that they didn’t want to carry the loan needed for these repairs. I was the only owner who voted “no” to selling the house, but eventually accepted it. We had no other choice. We either keep it, get the loan, and fix it up, or we sell it. The house needed a foundation!JackKerouac, the famous American novelist and poet, lived in this house around 1953 while working as a brakeman for the Union Pacific Railroad. New Times contributor Kylie Mendonca discovered that fun fact while she was still a tenant at The Establishment, and in my opinion, it just adds more to the historical value of this house.

Opinion Commentary

I would also like to elaborate more on how the tenants throughout the years went on to attain some distinguished and unique careers. Out of a handful of tenant interviews that I received, and chosen at random, I found that there were some who became professors of botany, architects, artists, teachers, nurses, and one who became a circus performer. It was incredible how people from all walks of life came together in a communal living environment, and then went on to do some pretty amazing things. One former tenant went on to create his version of The Establishment in Belgium, and another moved to Thailand and started her own yoga studio.

Offending the fashionable thinking of the era, then Vice President Dan Quayle offered the opinion that perhaps single motherhood was not something that should be glamorized due to the likely impact on impressionable viewers. Predictably, the hip opinion makers of the day mocked him for being old fashioned and “out of touch.” The impressionable viewer could only conclude that single motherhood

Drug abuse is an issue which the entertainment industry has addressed, although perhaps not in a positive way. Before the 1960s, there was no media depiction of drug use as anything other than seedy, low-class, and unattractive.

his year’s Academy Awards, with the exciting new slapping feature, in addition to the usual thoughtful yammering on whatever political cause has momentarily captured the gnat-like attention spans of the glitteratti, set me to reflecting on celebrities and their wisdom.

With their tacit silence toward or outright endorsement of violence, voter suppression, and attacks on personal freedoms, Republicans are digging their own graves. Don’t give them ammo!

“The San Luis Drive neighbors requested a noise study to be prepared by the applicant from the beginning of the project’s conception, but that was not required by staff nor recommended by the Planning Commission,” Hana Novak complained in a letter to the city. “We feel strongly about the potential noise effects of this project and that our concerns are not being taken seriously that we paid to have a study done for the project.”

deliveries, of kegs for example.”

In 2018, the one-time California Coastal Commission member was fined with other commissioners for not disclosing their ex parte communications, as a Pismo City Council member in 2016, he was investigated (and eventually cleared … good job) by the Fair Political CommissionPractices over potential corruption, and in 2019, his law license was suspended for 60 days by the state bar for professional misconduct.

At a time when the Republicans are using bribe-taking former SLO County Supervisor Adam Hill as a cudgel against Democrats, does it make sense to endorse Howell simply because you like the way he votes? The Dems should endorse candidates with unquestionable integrity.

Dear both parties: You suck. ∆

And speaking of shutting the eff up, can the SLO Democratic Party please grow an integrity backbone or simply shut its piehole? They just endorsed attorney Erik Howell in his bid to join the Pismo Beach City Council, and the dude’s more tainted than the spot between your stainer and your drainer.

Led by Hana Novak, chair of the San Luis Drive Neighborhood Association, the neighbors filed an appeal of the city’s original approval of the project, which passed because it met all Planning Commission requirements and fit perfectly into the tourist-friendly nature of “Hotel Row.”

“Of particular concern is the outdoor axe throwing noise, which may be likened to a hammering noise during a roofing project, with a highly impulsive sound when the axes impact the target board,” 45dB’s Sarah Taubitz wrote in her report.

The Shredder is an equal opportunity attack dog. Agree to disagree at shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Quick recap! The Hub plans to occupy a 12,000-square-foot former furniture store as well as 12,000 square feet of outdoor space, bringing eight businesses together: Central Coast Brewing, KROBAR Craft Distillery, Nautical Bean Coffee, Art’s Cyclery, What the Truck Mobile Cuisine, Lone Oak Seltzer, SLO Axe, and Whalebird Kombucha. The issue was that the proposed site backs up to a creek, and on the other side of that creek dwells the notoriously prickly residents of tony San Luis Drive. Got a couple of million? You could live there too.

“For more than a year, we’ve seen the MAGA crowd on this same overpass, but their right to assemble peacefully was respected, as undemocratic and racist as their symbols are. No one attacked them. But, it only took weeks for them to come after our retired neighbors who are rallying in support of freedom and democracy,” Casaverde wrote in a press release.

Hope you didn’t have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it. Surprisingly (not), the noise study prepared by Buellton-based 45dB Acoustics came to the exact conclusion those who paid for it had wanted.

case you were waiting with bated breath, the appeal against the approval of The Hub —the bar, restaurant, and entertainment venue proposed for 1701 Monterey St.—was unanimously denied by the SLO City Council. The Hub is happening, and soon you’ll be able to drink booze, throw axes, get your bicycle fixed, and listen to live music all in one location. Best of all, you can do it knowing the Richey Rich NIMBYs of San Luis Drive didn’t get to squash your fun with their “too much noise in my backyard” hysteria.

“Impulsive,” eh? Is the noise “done without forethought” or “acting on impulse”?

Wow, delivery trucks? With kegs? Is that out of character on Monterey Street, which is lined with hotels with restaurants and bars? Taubitz’s recommendation to mitigate the sound is to erect concrete walls around the project, like a prison or something, but instead, the SLO City Council agreed to require a “sound curtain” inside the building where music is played. Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets a tiny squirt of “STFU” grease.

I’m still waiting for local Republicans to condemn tRump’s continued attack on democracy, or at least to condemn the pepper spray attack by one of his MAGA minion. On Sept. 20, 46-year-old Miguel Angel Olivares of Arroyo Grande allegedly sprayed peaceful demonstrators on Templeton’s Vineyard Drive overpass on Highway 101 and was arrested for elder abuse, among other things.

SLO County Democratic Party Chair Rita Casaverde may have misstepped on her Howell endorsement, but she’s capitalizing on Tuesday’s attack.

“And these 13 pieces are only a small sample of the 300 or so works out there over the last 20-plus years.”

“Witnessing my mother’s decline and death truly broke me down and made me understand we (I) have much less control over anything than I realize. And there was a whole world of amazing interactions, inspirations, connections, moments that we (I) can make myself available for when I put down the controls and allow it all in.

“In my mind, I quit painting. And then I started over with all this in mind. Eventually, I integrated the two minds—I like to refer to them as Apollonian and Dionysian—the former being systematic, linear, logical, and predictable; the latter being intuitive, emotional, abstract, unpredictable, spontaneous, and nonlinear. I didn’t feel a need to paint what a camera or an eye saw as ‘reality.’ Instead, I was curious to create a world that expressed a psychicDon’treality.”missseeing these paintings up close and in person—they’re deeply affecting.

“Bait is a little bit about the male gaze,” she explained. “To me, the painting looked like a young, pretty girl seducing the viewer at first, drawing him in. And there is something lurking in the water, something in her hair, her hand, or maybe not. So like bait—it’s drawing you in to something you don’t yet know is actually quite dark.

Showtime!

According15. to press materials, Miller and his wife plan to remain on the Central Coast for a little while after retirement, but expect to eventually return to the Pacific Northwest at some point.

Be Perfectly Still, a retrospective of Brooklyn artist Alyssa Monks’ largescale portraits, hangs in the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA) through Nov. 13. The museum, located at 1010 Broad St. near Mission Plaza, is a 501(c)(3) public benefit nonprofit arts organization that’s free to all. More information can be found at sloma.org.

“A photorealist copies a photograph and doesn’t alter anything, edit anything, subtract anything. That was the opposite of what I was interested in,” she said. “Experimenting with different elements and filters allowed me to think more about paint and how it behaves (and misbehaves) as the images got more abstract and more sensual.”

t a distance, Alyssa Monks’ large-scale images look like photographs. Get closer, and soon it’s clear that those shimmering surfaces, strands of hair, and luminous skin are created by brushstrokes and paint, which is why the Brooklyn artist makes a distinction between her work and “Photorealismphotorealism.isfastidious,” she explained in an email interview. “It is detail focused, flat surfaced, and imitates a camera as closely as possible, intentionally removing the artist’s hand

“I paint what I know about. I am a woman, so I paint women mostly.”

Monks explained a major turning point in her art and life during a 2015 TED Talk when she revealed what it was like to lose her mother to cancer a few years earlier. Deeply moving, the talk expressed what a transformative experience it was.

BAIT Alyssa Monks explores “the male gaze” in this painting from 2010.

“Charade is pointing to the whole bait and switch of art-making in general. As Picasso said, and I am misquoting, but, ‘Art is a lie through which the truth is told.’ Also, she looks like she could be drowning or suffering or gasping for air, but only because it’s a painting. A photograph would raise much less alarm because we know it’s a fraction of a second. A painting feels longer and more sustained. It feels frozen in time.”

Alyssa Monks depicts vulnerable women in intimate settings

Suspended in time

Instead, she’s worked very hard at creating a surface that’s painterly, wild, and full of happy accidents. Yes, she works from photographs. Water is often part of her images. Get near her paintings’ surfaces and you’ll see the work of a masterfully gifted painter who understands light and reflection in an astonishing way.

Photorealist painters often favor inanimate objects—architecture, machines, toys. Few attempt figurative subjects. Why is Monks drawn to (mostly) female faces and forms?

During Miller’s time working for the PAC, he oversaw nearly 400 events held at the venue annually, with an annual operating budget of $3 million.

PAC managing director Chris Miller announces retirement

“What you’re looking at is a woman trying to tell her story but never really showing herself fully,” Monks said. “The tension is all about who the world wanted her to be versus who she is, and she doesn’t yet know who that is exactly. She is daring herself in each painting to reveal a little more and pulling back a veil of obfuscation for protection. In other words, the work is autobiographical, pages from a diary without words, not sure how much is OK to say.

She sometimes mixes flour, oil, and other things into the water in which she submerges her subjects, which completely changes the surface in unusual ways, leading to new challenges in representing that surface. The results are remarkable.

“This selection of paintings touches on all the experiments I did with water over the years,” she explained. “I loved trying new ways to make an image so that it would affect how I would paint it. I love that translation process, from flat image to painted surface and all the choices along the way.

What’s it worth, Glen? Full price

Glen Colonialism and the slave trade were joint horror shows, and at the heart of this particular story is a civilization trying to survive an invasion of evil while also saving the soul of their society. In what is undoubtedly an idealized and sanitized story, we have the Kingdom of Dahomey, which just wants to live in peace but is being threatened by nearby tribes. When they engage in battle, they take captive the enemy survivors and sell them to the Europeans (and in this case Portuguese Brazilians), just as their captive soldiers have been sold.

What’s it worth, Anna? Full price

King Ghezo (John Boyega) is walking a tightrope, and his General Nanisca (Davis, in a fierce, thoroughly compelling performance) seeks to guide him away from the slave trade and toward palm oil. Warlord of the neighboring Oyo tribe, Oba Ade (Jimmy Odukoya), is a willing participant in the slave trade and seeks to overthrow and subjugate the Dahomey people. That’s the backdrop, but the heart of the story is Nanisca and her female warriors, in particular new recruit Nawi (Thuso Mbedu), an insolent but deeply motivated trainee. The characters are thoroughly compelling, the performances are engrossing, and the world they inhabit is detailed and tangible. This is a helluva epic adventure tale complicated by layers of drama.

lead, and this role gives her a lot to work with. Nanisca is tough but also loving, headstrong but for good reason. Unfortunately, I don’t know enough about the historical happenings in Dahomey to speak on whether this movie follows any threads of truth or is simply using the setting and circumstances as a jumping-off point, but either way, the story is compelling from beginning to end. The group of recruits is a mix of young women either rejected by their families or captives brought from other villages the Agojie defeated. The young women are told to look out for themselves, yet they also must look after each other. They can never get married, never have children—they give their lives to the cause of protecting Dahomey. I found both the storyline and the visuals worthy of nothing less than a view on the big screen in a darkened theater.

n this fictionalized historical epic based in truth, Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love and Basketball, The Secret Life of Bees, Beyond the Lights, The Old Guard) directs Dana Stevens’ script from a story by Stevens and Maria Bello about the Agojie, a band of all-female warriors that protected Dahomey, a West African kingdom, in the 17th to 19th centuries. Set in 1823, the story centers on Nanisca (Viola Davis), who is training a new generation of Agojie that are determined to protect the Dahomey way of life. (135 min.)

94 percent critics’ score and 99 percent audience score. The fi lm is stunning, and it’s worth noting that this is a very female-centric production. The director, the screenwriter, the story writer—all female—as are the director of photography, Polly Morgan; the fi lm editor, Terilyn A. Shropshire; and the casting director, Aisha Coley. The battle and action scenes are incredible (within PG-13 constraints), but the fi lm has more heart than most epics, in large part because we come to realize how much these women support each other.

eople have been talking about “peak oil” since the 1950s—the idea that oil production will peak and start to decline, leading to societal collapse … unless we transition to sustainable energy. Last Light asks viewers to imagine a world in which our energy supply doesn’t slowly dwindle but is shut off like a light switch. Planes fall from the sky. Tankers drift in the sea. Trains groan to a stop. Cars don’t run. Power grids go dark. It’s an interesting premise, and the only man who can reverse what amounts to a sabotaged world oil supply is scientist Andy Yeats (Matthew Fox), who gets called away to the Middle East at a difficult time for his family— his young son, Sam (Taylor Fay), is supposed to undergo experimental eye surgery, and Andy’s wife, Elena (Joanne Froggatt), doesn’t want him to go, while his environmentalist daughter, Laura (Alyth Ross), can’t understand why he works for the corrupt fossil fuel industry.

“While I was attending Cal Poly,” she continued, “I worked at Laetitia Winery in Arroyo Grande and first gained my appreciation for bubbly.”

“Tracy was one of the many wine reps who came by frequently to try to get their wines onto my shelves,” she said. “Through our vendor-customer relationship we became friends and, a few years in, she approached me about an idea for an all-sparkling wine club, thus Club Bubbly was born.

Although Planning Department Hearings are generally conducted in accordance with the Brown Act, the hearing officer is not a “legislative body” as defined by that Act. As such, Planning Department Hearings are not subject to the Brown Act and are not required to comply with this legislation in order to continue to hold virtual meetings.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn poet William Stafford wrote, “Saying things you do not have to say weakens your talk. Hearing things you do not need to hear dulls your hearing.” Those ideas are always true, of course, but I think it’s especially crucial that you heed them in the coming weeks. In my oracular opinion, you need to build your personal power right now. An important way to do that is by being discriminating about what you take in and put out. For best results, speak your truths as often and as clearly as possible. And do all you can to avoid exposing yourself to trivial and delusional “truths” that are really just opinions or misinformation.

(March 21-April 19): Even when your courage has a touch of foolhardiness, even when your quest for adventure makes you a bit reckless, you can be resourceful enough to avoid dicey consequences. Maybe more than any other sign of the zodiac, you periodically outfox karma. But in the coming weeks, I will nevertheless counsel you not to barge into situations where rash boldness might lead to wrong moves. Please do not flirt with escapades that could turn into chancy gambles. At least for the foreseeable future, I hope you will be prudent and cagey in your quest for interesting and educational fun.

You are an ultragenuine Aquarius if people follow the twists and pivots of your life as they would a soap opera. And I suspect you will fulfill these potentials to the max in the coming weeks. The upcoming chapter of your life story might be as entertaining as any you have had in years. Luckily, imminent events are also likely to bring you soulful lessons that make you wiser and wilder. I’m excited to see what happens!

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Mary Oliver wrote, “There is within each of us a self that is neither a child, nor a servant of the hours. It is a third self, occasional in some of us, tyrant in others. This self is out of love with the ordinary; it is out of love with time. It has a hunger for eternity.” During the coming weeks, Scorpio, I will be cheering for the ascendancy of that self in you. More than usual, you need to commune with fantastic truths and transcendent joys. To be in maximum alignment with the good fortune that life has prepared for you, you must give your loving attention to the highest and noblest visions of your personal destiny that you can imagine.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Tips for making the most of the next three weeks: 1. Be proud as you teeter charismatically on the fence. Relish the power that comes from being in between. 2. Act as vividly congenial and staunchly beautiful as you dare. 3. Experiment with making artful arrangements of pretty much everything you are part of. 4. Flatter others sincerely. Use praise as one of your secret powers. 5. Cultivate an open-minded skepticism that blends discernment and curiosity. 6. Plot and scheme on behalf of harmony, but never kiss ass.

LIBRA

(April 20-May 20): In 1946, medical professionals in the UK established the Common Cold Unit. Its goal was to discover practical treatments for the familiar viral infection known as the cold. Over the next 43 years, until it was shut down, the agency produced just one useful innovation: zinc gluconate lozenges. This treatment reduces the severity and length of a cold if taken within 24 hours of onset. So the results of all that research were modest, but they were also much better than nothing. During the coming weeks, you may experience comparable phenomena, Taurus: less spectacular outcomes than you might wish, but still very worthwhile.

But like all of us, he has had failures, too. In one of his books, Larson describes the most disappointing event in his life. He was eating a meal in the same dining area as a famous cartoonist he admired, Charles Addams, creator of The Addams Family. Larson felt a strong urge to go over and introduce himself to Addams. But he was too shy and tongue-tied to do so. Don’t be like Larson in the coming weeks, dear Leo. Reach out and connect with receptive people you’d love to communicate with.
