Former Cambria fire chief sues community services district for wrongful termination

Cambria’s former fire chief, Justin Vincent, filed a complaint and request for jury trial against the Cambria Community Services District (CCSD) due to what he alleges was an unfair termination of his contract.

4 • New Times • February 15 - February 22, 2024 • www.newtimesslo.com

“As a proximate result of defendant CCSD’s breach of the employment agreement, [the] plaintiff has been substantially harmed,” the filing reads. “Plaintiff has suffered and continues to suffer losses in earning and other benefits in an amount to be established at trial.” In the lawsuit, Vincent claims that he was the victim of retaliatory practices, racism, and lack of due process when he was fired in October of last year.

In a press release the CCSD issued at the time, then new General Manager Matthew McElhenie said that Vincent had been let go following “the general manager’s comprehensive review and careful consideration” but did not elaborate, citing laws and guidelines related to employee termination. McElhenie declined to speak with New Times about the lawsuit. NEWS continued page 6

The complaint cites multiple instances where McElhenie, Administrative Assistant Haley Dodson, and 10 unnamed individuals allegedly retaliated against him after he spoke up about what he alleges was a misuse of power by Dodson last spring. “Plaintiff began to regularly observe Dodson engage in severe or pervasive sexual harassment, including but not limited to lewd and sexually offensive comments and jokes,” the complaint reads. The lawsuit states that in addition to observing these behaviors, multiple firefighters approached Vincent with complaints about similar comments or instances. CCSD staff members, the lawsuit claims, told Vincent they feared submitting formal complaints due to Dodson’s role at the time as head of human resources. “On April 10, 2023, after multiple complaints were reported to him … plaintiff, in his capacity as fire chief, filed a formal grievance against Dodson,” the lawsuit states, adding that the grievance included claims that Dodson created a hostile work environment, spoke about firefighters in a lewd manner, and sent multiple unwanted sexually explicit messages to one firefighter. The suit also alleges that Vincent was concerned that the district might retaliate against his complaints as McElhenie was brought in as the district’s new general manager at Dodson’s behest. Dodson did not respond to New Times’ request for comment. Several months after McElhenie was brought on, the lawsuit states, nothing had come of Vincent’s complaint. However, Vincent alleges that he received a notice of intent to terminate his contract from McEhlenie that included false accusations such as Vincent turning Fire Department staff against district staff and undermining the general manager’s decisions. Shortly thereafter, the lawsuit states, McElhenie placed Vincent on administrative leave and then fired him in October. The Cambria CSD held a special closedsession meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 14, to discuss the lawsuit and future actions. —Adrian Vincent Rosas

Tornado-related damage pushes Grover Beach into state of emergency The Grover Beach City Council declared a local state of emergency on Feb. 13 due to a tornado that caused moderate to severe damage across the city the week before.

“I was working on an email, and next thing I know the lights went out in my office, my computer turned off, and all the power went out. We’re on a generator so it takes a second to start back up, but in that brief moment the building started shaking and vibrating,” Grover Beach Police Comdr. Jim Munro told New Times. “I thought, ‘Oh boy, I wonder if this is the big one, the big earthquake,’ and I contemplated getting under my desk. But I realized it wasn’t an earthquake.” It was actually an EF-1 tornado that touched down in Grover Beach on Feb. 7, sustaining wind speeds between 86 to 110 miles per hour, according to the National Weather Service. City Manager Matt Bronson, acting as Grover Beach’s emergency services director, proclaimed a local emergency on Feb. 8. Munro said that the wind stuck around long enough to cause moderate destruction, especially on Grand Avenue, uprooting trees, downing powerlines, and damaging buildings, infrastructure, and cars. “The Fire Department’s bay doors, where the fire trucks come in and out of, sustained damage with six of those doors needing replacements. They also had some damage to their communication equipment up at the top of their building,” he said. “The Police Department had a tree fall into our building causing some damage to the exterior, our gate that allows secure access to our backlot where the patrol cars are is completely bent from the power of that tornado. So that’s going to have to be replaced.” Although tornado warnings were issued for SLO County coastal areas farther north on Feb. 7, Grover Beach residents didn’t receive one. Munro said that city officials were just as surprised by this event as community members likely were. “After talking with the National Weather Service because they had come into the city the day after, and we rode with them for several hours, they said that this wasn’t really on their radar per se, so there just wasn’t time to get any type of warning out,” he said. Munro said that the Police Department received around 50 calls for tornadorelated service and damage from 4 p.m. to about midnight, and nearly 1,600 residents experienced power outages. No injuries were reported, he added. A tornado also touched down on Los Osos Valley Road on Feb. 7, SLO County Emergency Services Manager Scott Jalbert told New Times, but no damages were reported.

“The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for Los Osos and Morro Bay areas around 3 in the afternoon, and we actually found out about it through social media. So, we immediately contacted them asking if this is correct, and they advised us that they were going to cancel the tornado warning,” he said. While it’s not uncommon to receive a tornado warning during stormy seasons, Jalbert said, they usually don’t make landfall, so Feb. 7 was unusual. Munro said that Grover Beach’s local emergency declaration means it can receive funding from the state or federal government so expenses don’t come out of the city budget or reserves. “Due to the amount of damage in the city, our hope is to see whether the state or the federal government could potentially reimburse costs associated with this emergency,” he said. “But we won’t know the outcome of that for a bit of time.” —Samantha Herrera

Paso’s dual immersion students will move to Lewis for 2024-25

Students enrolled in Georgia Brown Elementary’s dual immersion program will call Lewis Middle School home starting next school year. On Feb. 13, the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District board voted 5-2, with board members Kenney Enney and Joel Peterson dissenting, to move students to the new campus. “The magnitude of this decision is huge,” board president Nathan Williams said at the meeting. “Staff has put in amazing time. … This is still extremely tough.” The board decided to move the students to Lewis after considering the cost and current accommodations the campus had for the district’s dual language immersion program. With around 400-plus dual immersion students headed to a new campus, the district now has to reorganize Lewis Middle School’s current population to accommodate them. “These things have a ripple effect,” Enney said at the meeting. “I don’t like playing survivor with the community, which is exactly what we are doing.” Students attending Lewis Middle School will move to another campus, Flamson Middle School. The K-6 dual immersion students will take over the current Lewis campus. In addition, the district will readjust its kindergarten and first grade boundaries to accommodate the new elementary school location at Lewis.

Enney said that all of these adjustments mean that kids currently enrolled at any of these campuses will have to readjust the way they get to school, which for some students is already difficult in the current district setup. Seventh-grade student Ann Elise Lambeth wrote to District Superintendent Curt Dubost about why the district’s choice would impact her education. “I know many students who go to Lewis in the first place is because their family is in a situation where they cannot get to Flamson,” Lambeth wrote. “A majority of parents from Georgia Brown want their kids at Flamson because it is easier to get them there, the original site was originally a threeminute drive whereas Lewis would be over a 10-minute drive with the usual traffic.” Dubost acknowledged that the district did not have the transportation options that the transferred students might need. He felt that transportation would be his biggest concern in choosing the next superintendent, as he’s retiring at the end of the school year. “My staff even came to me and expressed they are reluctant to suggest options like this because I won’t be here next year, and they will take the flak I won’t be around to take,” he said at the meeting. But the district had to make a choice, he said, adding that whatever comes next will be handled to the best of the district’s ability. “I don’t see a better option than putting the dual immersion at Lewis and moving the junior high to Flamson,” he said at the meeting. “I do know that if the board directs staff to get transportation for these changes, it may involve contracting, it may involve moving heaven and earth, but if you tell them what to do, they will make it so.” —Adrian Vincent Rosas

Historic level of mildew affected Central Coast grapes in 2023

California’s wine grapes felt the impact of the flurry of atmospheric rivers that slammed the state in 2023. “It was one of the highest mildew pressure records in the history of grape growing,” Turrentine Brokerage’s Central Coast Director of Grape Brokerage Audra Cooper told New Times. Released Feb. 9, the brokerage’s assessment of the state’s preliminary 2023 Winegrape Crush Report revealed that mildew plagued varieties like pinot noir and chardonnay across California.

Lopez Lake spills, county watches Arroyo Grande Creek levee

With more storms on the way as of Feb. 14, county officials were continuing to keep a close eye on the Arroyo Grande Creek levee as early February storms pushed Lopez Lake over its capacity. SLO County Public Works Engineer David Spiegel told New Times that the dam began spilling on Feb. 7 around 10 p.m., making it the second time in 25 years that Lopez has overflowed. The first time was last March. On Feb. 14, the lake was more than 100 percent full at 49,388 acre-feet. “It’s still spilling at a rate of 32.6 cubic feet per second, or 21 million gallons, per day,” he said on Feb. 13. “It has not caused any damage at this point or impacted any residential areas.” SLO County Water Resources Engineer Brandon Zuniga told New Times that comparing 21 million gallons a day to a normal household’s use of 100 gallons is shocking, but it’s far less than previous spills. “Like many floods management engineers, I like to convert it to cubic feet per second, and when you do that, it’s a pretty small rate compared to what we saw last year during the winter storms,” he said. “Right now, it’s about 3 cubic feet when last year it was hundreds per second.” Zuniga said thanks to a break in stormy weather, the dam’s overflow isn’t a concern for the creek levee right now, but as the National Weather Service forecasts future rain, it’s something he’s watching.

According to the National Weather Service website, rain was expected to begin Feb. 17 and last until Feb. 20, and Zuniga said crews were in the process of removing debris out of the creek caused by strong winds in early February to prepare for possible flooding in the next storms. “We kind of anticipate that Lopez will be contributing anywhere between 20 and 40 percent of the flows down at the levee portion of the creek, so that means we’ll definitely be on high alert this upcoming weekend,” he said. “We want to make sure that we’re monitoring the creek and making sure any issues that arise are taken care of.” While the county anticipates flooding, Zuniga said it most likely won’t be at the same level as last year. “Right now, based on the projections, it looks like we’ll be getting about an inch of rain and with the size of the watershed, it should be able to move new flows pretty quickly,” he said. Zuniga said storm predictions are often subject to change, including rain intensity and duration, so keeping an eye on how the storm moves through the county is the best way to determine possible flooding. “We could get an inch over 24 hours, in which the creek can definitely handle that amount of water, but if it’s an inch over a small period of time, such as three or four hours, that looks different,” he said. “I think we should be OK, but that’s me basing it off of what the National Weather Service is saying right now.” ∆ —Samantha Herrera

Fifth District supervisor candidates Heather Moreno and Susan Funk discuss SLO County issues from homelessness to election integrity

ith political roots in Atascadero City Hall, Mayor Heather Moreno and City Councilmember Susan Funk are vying for a seat at San Luis Obispo County’s apex table. On March 5, constituents of the county’s 5th District will vote between them for SLO County supervisor following three-term incumbent Debbie Arnold’s decision not to run for reelection. The winning candidate will represent a district that now covers Atascadero, the California Valley, Garden Farms, Pozo, Santa Margarita, and parts of Templeton, SLO, and Cal Poly. Politically, Republicans have a small advantage in the 5th District. According to the county’s Election Management System, the district has 12,754 registered Republican voters and 11,627 registered Democrats. With donors like the Paso Robles Democratic Club, 3rd District Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg’s PAC, state Senate District Director Kara Woodruff, and SLO City Councilmember Jan Marx, Funk currently holds the fundraising lead with a little more than $296,000 raised between January 2023 and 2024. Moreno’s campaign raised approximately $256,000 over the same time period. Her donors include current Supervisor Arnold, SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson’s PAC, SLO physician Rene Bravo, and the Home Builders Association of the Central Coast PAC. Funk and Moreno both responded to New Times’ questions about SLO County’s hotbutton issues:

New Times: SLO County faced multiple problems stemming from the issue of homelessness—the closed Oklahoma Avenue safe parking site, lawsuits from several homeless people, and a rush to figure out how to build shelters using time-strapped grants. What difference, if any, would you like to see/bring about in how the county has approached homelessness? Are there any elements you think the county is effectively carrying that you’d like to make more robust? Moreno: After millions in taxpayer dollars and years of government bureaucracy, the problem continues to grow. I recommend a performance audit of the money spent to see what’s working and what needs to change. We need coordination, communication, and a common concept. That takes leadership on the board willing to set direction across jurisdictions so that law enforcement, mental health practitioners, and nonprofit organizations are working together with the ultimate goal of getting people off the streets and into shelter or housing. We need up-todate metrics on our unhoused population; better data on bed inventory, open/filled and what type; to manage density; and follow through to prevent a disastrous situation like Oklahoma. Compassion must be the core of how we solve homelessness. At the same time, we must hold those who break the law accountable, and I support advocating

through the legislative platform for more tools to do so. Funk: We can’t stop trying to reduce homelessness even though it’s hard work, and rents are up 29 percent since the pandemic. We need to integrate services into any shelter, event parking sites; set clear expectations with shelter residents and communicate with neighbors; counter NIMBY pressure with clear communication; involve people with lived homelessness experience in the planning so solutions work; and keep adding affordable housing. Consistent with the countywide plan, we need additional tiny homes like Cabins for Change, where dogs are welcome. We should continue expanding use of ECHO’s 90-day service model that offers short-term stability, mutual support, and a hand-up out of homelessness. For accountability, we need to implement performance metrics using the new homeless management information system launching on March 4. New Times: Supervisors dropped the ax on inclusionary housing. Would you like to see that come back, and are there any improvements you’d like to see if it did? What else would you do differently to pave the way for affordable housing in SLO County? Moreno: I appreciate the intent of inclusionary housing, to provide monies to organizations that build low-income housing. The problem is that it adds to the cost of all other housing, trading one problem for another. The county has a 2 percent cap on housing growth every year, and never comes close to meeting it. Increased housing supply is the answer to affordability. We must streamline the permitting and zoning process and ensure we build more housing in areas with as much existing infrastructure as possible, like in and around our cities. Other opportunities include looking at countyowned land and partnering with nonprofits to build affordable housing, and private developers to build market-rate housing with a portion set aside as deed-restricted. We can also consider supportive policies for businesses that have excess land and want to build housing for their employees. Funk: Our county is desperately short of modest, smaller homes and apartments that are affordable to working people and young people building careers. In order to meet state-provided targets for lower-income housing, SLO County needs more projects like Templeton Place II. These projects are financed with federal tax credits requiring local contributions of about $40,000 a unit. Deferring county impact fees on such projects would help, but it won’t be enough. When large homes are built, new residents need services performed by people who live in smaller homes. Therefore, it’s not unfair to ask builders of large homes to include some affordable units or contribute modestly to building smaller units, as long as the amount is reasonable. Adding a fee to short-term rentals for this purpose is another option

worth considering. It’s also essential to plan and zone for duplexes, condos, apartments, ADUs, and tiny homes on small lots. New Times: Supervisors greenlit an independent redistricting commission in a 3-2 vote in January. Would you have changed anything in how they set up the commission? What do you feel about the security of elections in SLO County? Moreno: We should always monitor and work to improve election integrity, safeguarding the right to vote, and ensuring confidence in our electoral process. This issue has generated a significant amount of misinformation. While there’s always room for improvement, we absolutely have safe, secure elections in SLO County. Any redistricting process has inherent challenges. When humans are involved, bias exists. Still, we should strive for a nonpartisan process that follows the law. I’m concerned that leaving the decision solely to a group of individuals who are unelected and unanswerable to the people could pose a problem, similar to government bodies that make onerous rules for the people to follow but are unaccountable to those very people. I can envision a “third way,” perhaps an independent commission that presents a number of legal map options for the elected officials to decide. I’m open to solutions that seek the best outcome for our communities. Funk: Evidence shows that elections in SLO County are being conducted with security and integrity. The process is systematically audited and has recently proven highly accurate during two large recounts. The county clerk-recorder and her staff deserve active support from the Board of Supervisors for work that is vital to our democracy. Regarding the maps, my values are clear: Voters choose their leaders; leaders should not choose their voters. I opposed the gerrymandered Patten map used in 2022, which was so biased and disruptive that the League of Women Voters sued. As a supervisor, I’ll fight for a map-making process that supervisors can’t rig for their own advantage, no matter who’s in control. I support an independent citizen redistricting commission, which will reduce potential bias and build public trust. New Times: Supervisors began relaxing regulations in the cannabis ordinance last October to help recoup revenue that can pay

for the Department of Cannabis enforcers, judges, and tax collectors. What are your thoughts on this approach? Moreno: Cannabis is legal in California. The county needs to provide a streamlined permit process for cannabis businesses so they can get their business up and operating in a reasonable time frame. Right now, I understand it takes three to four years to get a permit approved and another year or two to get the business operational, and that is too long. It is simple: Fewer permits equals less tax revenue. Once a cannabis business is approved, there must be checks and balances to ensure the business is operating in compliance with their permit conditions and paying their taxes. If we don’t support the legal cannabis businesses, the illegal cannabis operators will thrive. I would like the county to focus on providing more opportunities for cannabis processing facilities, ensuring we have adequate resources to process the cannabis grown in our county, rather than pushing forward with retail storefronts in the unincorporated areas. Funk: When discussing cannabis policy, it helps to distinguish between retail and agricultural-type functions. Growing cannabis requires a lot of water, which is in short supply. Also, cannabis has effects including strong odors whose impact on neighbors and nearby crops must be considered. Cannabis as a “crop” also requires new processing facilities that could risk damaging rural communities due to industrial character, scale, and odors. The county’s botched roll-out of legalized cannabis has made it difficult for cannabis growers, so there is room for improvement. However, I don’t see any compelling community benefit from cannabis growth and manufacturing that would justify subsidizing this industry. Retail cannabis is a separate issue. It’s neither a demon nor a savior. Still, one could probably find places in unincorporated communities where a small store selling cannabis products could be accommodated safely if those communities want it. The county could benefit modestly from additional revenues. Read a longer version of these interviews at newtimesslo.com. ∆ Reach Staff Writer Bulbul Rajagopal at brajagopal@newtimesslo.com.

alifornia voters will vote on Proposition 1 in March, and if it passes, SLO County’s Behavioral Health Department could see less funding. The measure is a $4.68 billion bond proposed by Gov. Gavin Newsom that aims to modernize the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) and provide California with the resources to build 10,000 new beds to help those with serious mental illnesses and substance use disorders get the housing and services they need, according to the governor’s office. “We are facing a confluence of crises: Mental health, opioids, housing, and homelessness—and this transformation effort will ensure California is tackling these head-on in a comprehensive and inclusive way,” Newsom said in a statement. “Over the last few years, California has led the nation in expanding access to affordable and quality mental health services—especially for children, teens, and people with untreated mental illness. The historic legislative effort … will supercharge these efforts to ensure California continues to lead the way in the decades to come.” Proposition 1 calls for shifting $140 million of existing tax revenue annually to add more behavioral health services. However, SLO County Behavioral Health Deputy Director Frank Warren told New Times that the shift would actually reduce funding and some of the programs the department already offers. Proposition 1 is split into three parts, he said. The first is a bond that aims to generate funds for immediate short-term residential housing throughout the state, while the other two parts focus on behavioral health reform. “The third part is a reform of the Mental Health Services Act, and this is where it gets layered for us,” he said. “Right now, our Mental Health Services Act has a formula based on your MediCal population, your poverty rates, and that’s how fund amounts are calculated for counties.” The MHSA passed in 2004 and was designed to expand and transform California’s behavioral health system to better serve individuals with and at risk of serious mental health issues and their families, provide early intervention, and provide for needed infrastructure, technology, and training. It’s currently funded by a 1 percent income tax on personal income in excess of $1 million per year. At the county level, the MHSA requires mental health services to be provided in community partnership and encourages programs to meet people where they are instead of a model that involves people walking into clinics, Warren said. “It got counties to serve people in their communities, their schools, their family resource centers, and it focuses on people who are the most severe in inpatient units, crisis services, jails, and hospitals,” he said. “It also created a continuum in the mental health world that involves prevention and early intervention, so that we can address issues

Fighting for air Our battle against contamination

e’ve fought this fight before. Our battle against contaminants in our air goes back 75 years, when there were days in Southern California when the smog was so thick you couldn’t see to drive and ozone burned people’s eyes and throats. The ozone levels were so high that they caused rubber to crack. Even after we learned that the source of all these contaminants was smoke from manufacturing, automobile exhaust, and backyard incinerators, attempts to curb smog were stiffly opposed by oil companies, chambers of commerce, and residents who wanted to continue burning their trash. It required the creation of air pollution control districts to reduce smog from industry and trash collection programs to stop backyard trash burning. We created agencies to reduce tailpipe emissions and prevent fuel leakages from storage tanks, filling stations, and auto engines. We regulated smog production with the Pollution Control Act of 1955 and the Clean Air Act of 1963. Within three decades, we dropped smog carbon levels from 35

parts per million in 1979 to below the national standard level of 9 parts per million throughout the region, despite adding 3 million residents. Our fight against air pollution actually goes back centuries to the choking black coal smoke of early industrial England. So thick was it that transportation sometimes had to be shut down for lack of visibility. It wasn’t until the Great Smog of 1952 killed 12,000 people that government was forced to act with the Clean Air Act of 1956. Thanks to such aggressive public health measures, we on the Central Coast enjoy clear skies and air that doesn’t burn our eyes and throats, despite billions of vehicle miles traveled within and through San Luis Obispo County, and several hundred thousand residents who otherwise might be burning rubbish in their backyards. Now we have a new contaminant to contend with—carbon dioxide. It is far more insidious than ozone or the black sulfurous smoke of days gone by. Initially rising slowly from 280 parts per million in pre-industrial times, CO2 has rapidly accelerated to its current level of 420 parts per million. Should we allow it to rise above 1,000, people would sense “poor air quality” or feel drowsy. In a

scenario of high CO2 emissions, we could well exceed that by the year 2100, within the lifetimes of children born today. We are suffering the consequences of CO2induced global warming already. The summer of 2023 was the hottest on record. In August, a heat dome over the southern and central U.S. exposed more than 100 million people to dangerous levels of heat and humidity. It was so hot in Chicago that commuter trains had to run slower due to heat-related stress on the tracks. The heat and its drying effect fueled massive wildfires in Canada, while Europe and Asia suffered extreme floods. The drastic swings from drought to flooding are giving us what’s called “weather whiplash.” Then there are the economic consequences. Global warming-induced extreme climate events are now costing us an estimated $150 billion each year. Individual disasters can cost a billion or more dollars. Twenty years ago, we were suffering 6.7 such disasters per year. In the 2010s, that increased to 12.8 per year. For the last three years, we have been suffering 20 of these billion-dollar disasters every year. Sadly, we can expect this trend to worsen with each increment of warming. To make matters worse, climate-related storms and high temperatures lower our country’s GDP, leaving us with fewer resources to fight the problem. It’s critical that we pull out all the stops to prevent

further warming, without delay. Fortunately, we have a proud history of successfully fighting against contaminants in our air, even while others—those with vested financial interests, resistant to change, or just for the sake of convenience—fought to continue polluting it. It’s time we take on the mantle of those who fought to give us clear, noncorrosive air, and continue the battle against this new invisible threat. We can electrify our homes, businesses, and cars, and we can encourage and support our friends and institutions to do the same. We can put on those attractive sweaters we got for Christmas instead of turning up the thermostat. We can drive smarter, shorter, fuelefficient, combined trips. We can reserve meat for tasty side dishes, and cut way back on beef. We can multiply our efforts by joining organizations like Citizens’ Climate Education or the SLO Climate Coalition. On a national level, we can support the improvements in infrastructure needed to deliver clean energy where it’s needed, and advocate for a fee on coal, oil, and gas producers to help shift us toward better and cleaner sources of energy. We can win this fight. It’s what we do. ∆ George Hansen writes to New Times from Arroyo Grande. Send a response for publication to letters@newtimesslo.com.

LETTERS Aren’t we also important?

As an Armenian immigrant, I have always struggled with the fact that my community is constantly under attack, and no one ever seems to speak about it. Growing up in the United States’ public education system, I remember always hearing and learning about painful and horrific parts of our history, but never about a part that was particularly painful to me: the Armenian Genocide. Up until a few years ago, the United States did not even accept the Armenian Genocide, the first genocide of the 20th century.

During the pandemic, Azerbaijan, a nation with very close ties to Turkey, attacked a region with ethnically Armenian people known as Artsakh to the Armenian community, but you most likely know it as Nagorno-Karabakh. Earlier this school year, ethnic Armenians living in this region were forced to flee to Armenia and leave everything behind. More than 120,000 ethnic Armenians had to leave their homes, ancient Armenian history, cemeteries, and lives behind. After years of living in fear that this day may come but hoping it was simply a nightmare, Armenians all over the world were faced with a harsh reality.

These events aren’t news to the Armenian community and have been taking place since they started in 2020, yet Cal Poly has never spoken up about it. The Armenian Student Association at Cal Poly was very vocal about how painful this experience was for Armenian students and even organized a fundraiser for the displaced families in Armenia, yet the school never released a statement. When the atrocities in Israel and Palestine occurred, it was very painful for me personally to see as I had just seen something similar happen in my own community. That week I received emails from professors stating that they were here for their students regarding

these horrific events, and almost every class discussed these events. This is a very large step in supporting students, and I am proud of our community for taking these measures to try to support students, yet it was still hard to sit and have to relive my own experiences. This was particularly hard because it made me realize that when the school and administration want to speak up and support their students, they can and are able to. So it left me with the question, why are we not important enough to be talked about and supported as well? Irina Sargsyan San Luis Obispo

RHETORIC&REASON

BY JOHN DONEGAN

Beverly hillbillies

ho ever knew that equity and social justice requires that folks be able to live in Beverly Hills regardless of their financial means? This may the biggest lifestyle boost since the Beverly Hillbillies struck crude and rolled into town. The legendarily swank enclave of Beverly Hills is in a real lather. The enlightened social engineers in Sacramento have ordered the tony town to produce a roadmap to build 3,104 units of new “inclusionary” housing, of which three-quarters must be affordable to low- and middle-income individuals. The town demurred, pointing out that there is not enough remaining room in town for another 3,000 homes without adding high-rise buildings and ruining the attractive character of the place. A state housing nonprofit—Californians for Homeownership—sued the city, obtaining a judicial order prohibiting any more construction in the city, including remodeling projects like kitchens and bathrooms, until the town complies with the state’s edict. The swells of Beverly Hills are in a panic, contemplating an unendurable existence without new waterfall pool grottos and squash courts and with having to endure a primitive 2018 yoga room. Pool houses and home theaters are permeated with dread, while cabana boys tread carefully. I imagine that local therapists are being swamped with anxiety attacks from worthies stressed over being confined to atrociously appointed quarters. Fashionably progressive celebrities, long engaged in their righteous fight for social justice on behalf of “The People,” are feeling betrayed by having the ungrateful beneficiaries turn on them with their housing aspirations. And it is not just Beverly Hills that is under attack. Tiny Atherton, California, the nation’s richest ZIP code, is on the spot to make space for 348 new affordable housing units. B-ball standout Steph Curry is in the forefront of efforts to quash a new general plan providing for development to satisfy the state mandate, terrified at the prospect of fans gawking at him and his family in their pool from neighboring high-rise apartments. And even my much more modest burg of Pismo Beach, a town that is almost completely built out, is under the gun by the state to come up with a plan that could enable hundreds of new low-income units to get built. Towns all over California are scrambling to satisfy the state mandates but are afflicted with either a shortage of suitable land or the unavailability of developers who are willing to undertake unprofitable lowincome housing developments. Affordable housing is a very real problem. In San Luis Obispo, many of the people who work here and perform important functions are unable to live nearby and are forced to make long commutes from Santa Maria and other less expensive areas. It is in a community’s best interests to have housing reasonably proximate for those who work here. But Beverly Hills or Atherton? These

sorts of addresses are sought after because they are so exclusive, and buying a home there is something that you can flaunt by sending “I’ve moved!” address change announcements to high school rivals you haven’t seen in 30 years. Does “social justice” really require that poor people be given the same bragging rights as the wealthy? Is there really a right to live in any community you choose, regardless of your economic circumstances, and is it really necessary that every town reflect all income levels? Sorry, but this seems less morally compelling than calls for shelter, food, and medical care, and more “rich people really piss me off. Let’s slap them around.” Few of us ever live in our first choice of housing, and many of us have lived in some undesirable areas due to finances. Currently, I rather fancy one of those massive new estates in Shell Beach overlooking Pirate’s Cove but have learned to live with my disappointment. But should I have to settle? Doesn’t social justice require the residents there to take me in and subsidize a home for me? I’ll go get some moving boxes and start packing. The harsh reality is that desirable areas like SLO will always have a shortage of housing, as more people want to live here than the area can support. We can’t build our way out of the problem without destroying the place. Just look at the controversy over the Dana Reserve and San Luis Ranch projects. Where do we find enough space for development without ruining the environment? What do we do about water? Not everyone who wants to live here can. Availability can be determined by either the free market, in which those who can afford it get to live here, or by the subsidized inclusionary housing lottery. But just don’t assume that the winner of the inclusionary lottery will be you, as there will always be far more people applying than there are units available. It is sort of like winning a home in a raffle. If you win—yippee!—but if not and you still want to live here, you will have to pay more to subsidize the lucky winners. Inclusionary housing may keep legions of planning bureaucrats chugging away, but it is unlikely to help you. ∆ John Donegan is a retired attorney, currently in Pismo Beach, who once had a prestigious Beverly Hills address until he was towed away.

THE SHREDDER

Wave your wand

s parking the hot-button issue of the 2024 election cycle? Homelessness? Nah. It’s not as important as stopping what some San Luis Obispo city residents labeled the parking “Gestapo” at a recent community meeting on the controversial parking rate increase that keeps on giving. Why is it that parking enforcement officers are always compared to Nazis? That’s dramatic. They’re not trying to kill you. Your parking meter money ran out, so they’re enforcing the rules. Getting a $45 ticket after paying $8 for two hours of parking may feel like murder, but it really isn’t. The parking rates are ridiculous, though. So ridiculous that elected officials’ jobs are on the line—that is, if irate business owners are your measure of San Luis Obispo residents’ sentiment and if you’ve got a little “bibbidibobbidi-boo.” “I think if I had a magic wand, I would have a recall petition to get rid of every [SLO] City Council member,” Hemp Shak and Euphoria co-owner Steven Wick announced to applause at the Feb. 13 community meeting. “If I had a magic wand, I would recall all the City Council members as well,” Blackwater owner Maryalice Hamilton said. I’ve got great news for them! You don’t need any wand-waving to get a recall petition going. You just need to fill out paperwork, get signatures, and meet some deadlines (which

is hard for some, such as the tightyrighties attempting to recall 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson). Then, bibbidi-bobbidi, you’ve got a recall on the ballot. What’s up with the magic wand references? Parking consultant Julie Dixon (aka, SLO’s Fairy Godmother), who ran the community meeting, encouraged residents to use a wand as their guide to say what they would “change, fix, or improve” about parking in the city. It seems pretty simple to me: $4 an hour is just too much, and the $5 an hour SLO plans to hike its rates to in 2025 is downright robbery. Just. Don’t. Do. It. Meanwhile, the city of SLO is claiming that it started doing a parking study this year because it wanted to make sure parking rates mirrored the needs of community members. Wow! What a gracious city, to want rates to mirror residents’ needs. Public relations work can do amazing things, can’t it? Too bad pulling the wool over our eyes would take a nonexistent magic wand. I guess the complete uproar from residents and business owners after the city doubled parking rates last year had nothing to do with the city’s recent efforts to “find out” what residents need from downtown parking. In five days, the parking study more than tripled its responses compared to a 2022 study. Suddenly, people are paying attention to

city parking policy. All SLO had to do was for the game of musical chairs its students double public parking rates: bibbidi-bobbidiwill be playing in six months. boo.

Arts ARTIFACTS Festival Mozaic Music Director Scott Yoo conducts free master class

Members of the public are welcome to sit in on a free music master class, hosted by acclaimed violinist and Festival Mozaic Music Director Scott Yoo, at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria on Feb. 24, from 10 a.m. to noon. The following day, Yoo will take part in a special Chamber Concert with Festival Mozaic at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo. Tickets to the Feb. 25 concert— which starts at 2 p.m., after a free pre-concert lecture at 1 p.m. with speaker Alyson McLamore—start at $32. During Yoo’s master class at Hancock, the conductor will work with students Olga Autyunyan, Amelie Loya, Jorge Arturo Perez, Daniel Moreno, and Andrew Genge. In press materials, Hancock music professor Nichole Dechaine described the master class as a chance for participating music students to “perform and receive instant feedback from a professional musician on their performance.” “The students will have access to a professional musician with whom they might not regularly have the opportunity to study under,” Dechaine said, “and the audience can learn as much as the performers.” Hancock’s music program is designed to prepare students for employment in the areas of music, music teaching, music performance, music merchandising, music recording, church music positions, and other fields of the music industry. Through master class programs and other live performance experiences, music students can “gain essential stage presence that allows them to build confidence and grow in any career they may pursue,” Yoo said in press materials. “Teaching master classes to young musicians is crucial,” Yoo said. “It’s not just about skills, but also about instilling passion and a love for classical music.” Locally known for his work with Festival Mozaic, Yoo is also the chief conductor and artistic director of the Mexico City Philharmonic, and the host and executive producer of the PBS show Now Hear This, a miniseries focused on classical music. Admission to sit in on Yoo’s upcoming master class— sponsored by the Allan Hancock College Foundation—is free, but space is limited. Hopeful attendees can reserve their spots online in advance at festivalmozaic.org, where tickets to Yoo’s upcoming Cuesta College concert are also available for purchase. Festival Mozaic is a local nonprofit dedicated to hosting live music performances year round in unique Central Coast venues, including historic and outdoor settings, as well as contemporary concert halls.

Make no mistake Great American Melodrama’s Grave Mistakes is rave-worthy

COURTESY PHOTOS BY JENNIFER “Z” ZORNOW

o miss Grave Mistakes—the Great American Melodrama’s latest staging, described as a ghostly rom-com—would be a grave mistake, I fear. The Oceano staple has never failed to make me laugh over the years, but Grave Mistakes is the first of their shows to make me cry, in a good way. Full disclosure: I’ve been going to the Melodrama since I was small enough to fit in their popcorn buckets. The play was written by Melodrama regular Ben Abbott, whose script dials in the perfect amount of zany humor to please the local theater’s diehard fans while telling a bittersweet story that culminates in a profoundly moving conclusion. Abbott has acted in shows at the Melodrama since 2006, while Grave Mistakes—which opened in late January and runs through March 16— marks his first time working as a playwright for the theater, according to the show’s program (consistently stylized as a newspaper titled the Melodrama Oracle, which I’ve always appreciated). It’s one helluva first outing for Abbott in a writing capacity. Director Eric Hoit brings Abbott’s tale of life, death, and the afterlife to the stage within the confines of an unchanging set, in a wellfurnished house occupied by two employees of a publishing company. Molly (Casiena Raether) is a typewriter-wielding writer working on a new novel whose housemate is also her editor, Ray (Jeff Salsbury). There are enough scenes of awkward tension between the two for the audience to assume they probably have the hots for one another. Little does Ray know, his deceased father, Bob (Billy Breed), gets front row seats to his courtship of Molly, as Bob is one of the two ghosts who haunt the premises. The other specter is Eloise (Dori Duke), whose spirit hasn’t left the house since the untimely death—due to choking on a grape—of her mortal counterpart decades ago. Bob, on the other hand, died from drowning during a fishing trip, which explains his fisherman attire, although he doesn’t appear to be sleeping with the fishes, as the idiom suggests.

SPIRITED AWAY The cast of the Great American Melodrama’s latest show, Grave Mistakes, includes (from left to right) Toby Tropper, Dori Duke, Billy Breed, Mike Fiore, Casiena Raether, Julia Mae Abrams, and Jeff Salsbury.

EARLY BARGAIN SHOWS DAILY

Glen Diablo Cody is a talented and clever writer, but I think she peaked at Juno. Like Jennifer’s Body, she’s again trying her hand at horror comedy, and while the film has its charms—in particular its winking 1989 setting with accompanying hairstyles, clothing, and music—it doesn’t quite gel. It also doesn’t really give itself anywhere to go, and the ending left me underwhelmed. That said, it has its strengths. Gugino is terrific as Lisa’s bitchy, judgmental new mom, and Soberano shines as Lisa’s new sister who’s genuinely nice, albeit vacant and trying her best to help Lisa fit in. It’s essentially a love story, but before we get there, Lisa has some lessons to learn in part by pining for Michael (Henry Eikenberry), the handsome editor of the school newspaper. Expect a few good laughs, but overall, there’s a reason this film showed up during the pre-Oscars dumping ground. Anna Yes, seeing the Conair hair crimper and Rave hairspray in the opening shots was a great dose of nostalgia, one the film manages to carry through its entirety. Whether it’s AstroTurf on her stepsister’s dashboard or Janet’s bowl of cottage cheese and canned peaches, the film has late-’80s

SPARK OF LOVE Eighties goth high schooler Lisa (Kathryn Newton) raises a Victorian-era corpse (Cole Sprouse) from the grave, in Lisa Frankenstein, screening in local theaters.

charm all over it. Unfortunately, that’s the best thing about it. Cody has a good eye for crafting films that appeal to the basic familiar feelings within us, and with Juno she also had the benefit of a truly likable main character. In Lisa Frankenstein, Lisa starts off as a bit of a mousy introvert trying to navigate life without her mom and pining after the hot editor of the school paper. Without giving too much away, I’ll just say she winds up a pretty different character. While her new wild side is fun, it felt like the character didn’t just go off the rails—she burned down the train station too. It wasn’t as endearing as a film like Warm Bodies. It just didn’t have the spark of magic to make it memorable. Glen The ’80s and early-’90s horror comedies it emulates are frankly much better than this homage, and Cody is sometimes too clever for her own good.

he Appalachian Trail winds for more than 2,000 miles, and the hikers who take on such adventures form a special bond—anyone who has read Cheryl Strayed’s Wild can tell you that. When a malnourished man is found deceased in a tent in the wilderness of Florida, armchair detectives and internet sleuths jump on the task of identifying the stranger. This new feature-length documentary on Max tackles the story of the hiker only known by his trail names “Denim” and “Mostly Harmless,” and the

journey many went on to finally identify who he was outside of the trail. This film pulls in interviews from people who met the man on the trail as well as the internet groups and law enforcement that were trying to identify him. But Mostly Harmless soon turns into a mythical legend among those searching for his true identity. What secrets does his story hide, and are they secrets for a reason? Mystery lovers will enjoy watching this one get solved and the unexpected turns it takes along the way. As fascinating as Mostly Harmless’ story is, the story of these amateur internet detectives and their infighting was just as interesting. People have weird hobbies. (89 min.) —Anna

his new Netflix series is an absolute hoot—a sparkling mix of comedy, martial arts, and Chinese soap opera. Charles Sun (Justin Chien) is a Taipei gangster, the son of Jade Dragons leader, Big Sun (Johnny Kou), who as the series opens narrowly survives an assassination attempt. Believing his estranged mother, Eileen (a fantastic Michelle Yeoh), and brother Bruce (Sam Song Li) are in danger, Charles travels to their home in America to ensure their protection as he works to figure out who’s after this family. Bruce was just 5 when he and his mother fled

Taipei, and he’s been completely in the dark that his family is part of a Chinese Triad and that his older brother is an assassin, and watching the two brothers reconnect is part of the series’ fun. Bruce is a coddled mama’s boy and college student whose life has been utterly routine … until now. Meanwhile, Charles, who secretly likes to bake and watch soap operas, pines to get out of his murderous life of crime. Stretched out in eight episodes, we really get to know these characters and their motivations, and Yeoh is the glue that holds the series together. I’ll binge this one again.

not like I hated the film or thought it was a total waste of time. It was a fun, lightweight little romp, but we’ve seen so many amazing films in the run-up to awards season that this feels like a mouthful of powdered sugar—momentarily sweet but soon forgotten. Anna Exactly. Whereas Juno is a film I will watch countless times, I don’t see Lisa Frankenstein becoming anything more than a one-time viewing, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t have a pretty good time watching it. I loved stepsister Taff y—she’s a pretty, popular cheerleader who generally would be a jerk, but she’s so kind and accepting and sweet to her new sis. I think this film’s getting a pretty fair rating with a 6.6 on IMDb and a higher audience score than critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Definitely worth a matinee if you want to see some great late ’80s fashion and hair shine on the big screen. ∆

Mid Century Masquerade Hayley and the Crushers light up your life like punk-rock Debbie Boone

op punk powerhouse Hayley and the Crushers are like filling your mouth with Blue Razz Pop Rocks and then taking a big swig of Grape Crush. They’re like The Go-Gos if the band let dudes in and was fronted by Cyndi Lauper and Joey Ramone’s love child. They’re basically the most fun you can have without fear of arrest. In 2021, the band signed to LAbased Kitten Robot Records and almost immediately began splitting their time between the West Coast and Motor City, and for the last couple of cold winter months, they’ve returned to SLO, but they’re heading back to the Midwest in March. Before they go, they’re going to unleash what is surely the event of the season when Hayley and the Crushers play Winter Crush: Mid Century Masquerade this Saturday, Feb. 17, in SLO’s The Bunker (doors at 6 p.m.; all ages; $10 at thebunkerslo.com). In addition to the Crushers, there’ll be a dance performance by Heather Gray and Pals, art by Neal Breton, and DJ Malik Miko spinning vinyl. You can probably get Hayley to sign her newest record, Modern Adult Kicks, which was produced by legendary LA punk producer and exScreamer Paul Roessler (TSOL, Josie Cotton, Richie Ramone). Bright orange hair optional but encouraged.

way our world is designed,” he said in press materials. “It felt right to call it that. I wanted to write about the crueler, nasty aspects of the world and life.”

ate night cravings are rarely insatiable at the DeBilzan family’s Nipomo home, thanks to its patriarch’s improvisation skills in the kitchen. “He’s very capable of making things out of nothing,” Michelle DeBilzan said of her husband, Ben, who often enjoys the challenge of pulling together elevated midnight snacks solely from “whatever’s left in the fridge.” Ben has worked in the culinary industry since youth and held positions at various restaurants throughout his career before he and Michelle decided to start their own business in 2019. “My claim to fame was always that I can walk into anybody’s kitchen and throw together a multi-course meal, and I don’t care what you have, I’ll figure it out,” Ben said with a laugh. Ben and Michelle have spent the past five years operating their food truck, DeBilz & Family Mobile Kitchen, and are planning to open their first brick-and-mortar restaurant, Cafe DeVille, in Nipomo by the end of February or early March at the latest. After a few months of renovations at their upcoming space, the former site of Mother Shuckers on South Thompson Road, the couple began hosting food truck pop-up events at the venue to give the community a teaser trailer version of Cafe DeVille—which will serve many of the mainstay burger and sandwich offerings the family’s mobile eatery is known for. While the restaurant’s interior will open to the public upon Cafe DeVille’s official debut, the food truck pop-ups are held in the new venue’s spacious outdoor patio. “The back patio is so important to us. I think it’s important to everybody, especially after the shutdown,” Ben said. “Everybody got really comfortable eating outside.” The couple’s goal is to make Cafe DeVille as inviting and approachable for families and kids as possible, the kind of place a youth baseball coach would feel comfortable sitting their whole team down at a picnic table, Michelle said.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS Cafe DeVille is set to officially open by early March. In the meantime, the DeBilz & Family Mobile Kitchen is hosting ongoing outdoor pop-up events, which use Cafe DeVille’s spacious patio.

MANY HATS Michelle DeBilzan, co-owner of Cafe DeVille, is a prolific wedding photographer and gardener. Her photography experience comes in handy when managing the restaurant’s social media, and she grows some of the eatery’s ingredients in her own garden.

“We wanted families to come in and hang out at our place, and make it feel like our backyard,” said Michelle, who added that many patrons of the Send tidbits on everything patio pop-ups so far have enjoyed food and drink to ordering the eatery’s shareable bites@newtimesslo.com. offerings. “We get a lot of couples that come in and just want to split a sandwich, Nipomo have a glass of wine or beer, sit outside, and enjoy the weather, and then head out,” promo Follow Cafe DeVille on social Michelle said. “Shareables are big for us, and media for more info about the we know that there’s a big need for that, with restaurant’s future opening a lot of people working on a budget, wanting and its outdoor pop-up events. to go out and eat, but not spend $100.” Cafe DeVille is located at 133 S.

authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07001275-23-1. 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 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA0700127523-1 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.

PROJECT IDENTIFICATION Notice is hereby given that sealed bids will be received at the office of the County Clerk at 1055 Monterey Street, Suite D120 (1st Floor), San Luis Obispo, CA 93408, until 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 7, 2024, for Job Order Contract (JOC 2024) for work to be performed at Countywide facilities, with Contract Documents for said work on file in the office of the Clerk of the Board. Please note that metered parking is extremely limited. 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK A Job Order Contract (JOC) is a competitively bid, firm-fixed-price indefinite-quantity contract. It includes a collection of detailed repair and remodel tasks and specifications that have established unit prices. It is placed with a Contractor for the accomplishment of repair, alteration, modernization, rehabilitation, etc., of buildings, structures, or other real property. JOCs have the ability to include both building/facility work (“vertical construction”) as well as infrastructure work (“horizontal construction”). Ordering is accomplished by means of issuance of a Job Order against the Contract. The Job Order will reference the Detailed Scope of Work and set forth the Job Order Completion Time and the Job Order Price. The Contractor, under the JOC Contract, furnishes management, labor, materials, equipment, and engineering support needed to perform the work. The County intends to award approximately two (2) contracts but reserves the right to award additional contracts from this procurement as needed. Any Bidder submitting more than one bid shall be deemed non-responsive and their bids will be returned unopened. The County estimates the initial maximum dollar value of the Contract to be $750,000 for the one-year contractual period. The Contractor is not guaranteed to receive this volume of Job Orders. It is merely an estimate. The County has no obligation to give the Contractor the opportunity to perform Job Orders of any minimum value. The law allows for the Contract amount to be increased up to $5,797,275 within the oneyear contractual period, upon mutual consent and provided additional bonds are provided. Therefore, the County reserves the right to increase the amount of the Contract allowable by law based on budgetary considerations and performance of the Contractor. The JOC Contract includes a Construction Task Catalog® (CTC). This CTC is based on the use of experienced labor and high-quality materials. All of the unit prices incorporate prevailing local wage, equipment, and materials cost data. The CTC is work segment based. The CTC also incorporates local activity, climate, and geographic features. The County selected The Gordian Group’s Job Order Contracting (JOC) Solution (Gordian JOC SolutionTM) for their JOC Program. The Gordian JOC SolutionTM includes Gordian’s proprietary JOC software applications (JOC Applications) and construction cost data (Construction Task Catalog®), which shall be used by the Contractor solely for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations under this Contract, including the preparation and submission of Price Proposals, subcontractor lists, and other requirements specified by the County. Bidders will offer four (4) pricing Adjustment Factors. Two (2) Adjustment Factors for Projects in General Facilities and two (2) Adjustment Factors for Projects in Secure Facilities - for both Normal Working Hours and Other Than Normal Working Hours (overtime) to be applied to the Construction Task Catalog® Unit Price. These Adjustment Factors will be proposed separately. The Construction Task Catalog® and the Contractor’s Adjustment Factors will be incorporated in the awarded Contract. 3. EXAMINATION AND PROCUREMENT OF DOCUMENTS The contract documents shall consist of one bound volume containing hard copies of the JOC 2024; Invitation to Bidders, Instructions to Bidders, Bid Form, Supplements to Bid Form, Agreement, Bond Requirements and Forms and Guarantees, General Conditions, Construction Site Management and Water Pollution Control, Contract Appendices; and a CD-ROM containing the above documents as well as the Construction Task Catalog® and Technical Specifications.

Free Will Astrology by Rob Brezsny Homework: I dare you to forgive yourself for a past event you’ve never forgiven yourself for before. Newsletter.freewillsstrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Some stories don’t have a distinct and orderly beginning, middle, and end. At any one point, it may be hard to know where you are. Other tales have a clear beginning, middle, and end, but the parts occur out of order; maybe the middle happens first, then the end, followed by the beginning. Every other variation is possible, too. And then there’s the fact that the beginning of a new story is implied at the end of many stories, even stories with fuzzy plots and ambiguous endings. Keep these ruminations in mind during the coming weeks, Aries. You will be in a phase when it’s essential to know what story you are living in and where you are located in the plot’s unfoldment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As I meditate on your destiny in the near future, I sense you will summon extra courage, perhaps even fearless and heroic energy. I wonder if you will save a drowning person, or rescue a child from a burning building, or administer successful CPR to a stranger who has collapsed on the street. Although I suspect your adventures will be less dramatic than those, they may still be epic. Maybe you will audaciously expose corruption and deceit, or persuade a friend to not commit self-harm, or speak bold thoughts you haven’t had the daring to utter before.

GEMINI

The City of San Luis Obispo’s Zoning Hearing Officer will hold a public hearing at 2:30 p.m. or later on Monday, February 26, 2024, in Conference Room 1, at 919 Palm Street, to consider the following: 1. 1025 Farmhouse Lane, Unit 1G. USE-0634-2023; Request for a Minor Use Permit to establish a restaurant within an existing building in the Service Commerical (C-S) Zone of the Airport Area. The project is categorically exempt from environmental review (CEQA); C-S-SP Zone; Farmhouse Corner Market, LLC, applicant. (Hannah Hanh) PLEASE NOTE: Any court challenge to the actions taken on this public hearing item may be limited to considering only those issues raised at the public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the City of San Luis Obispo at, or prior to, the public hearing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio author Dan Savage says, “I wish I could let myself eat and eat and eat.” He imagines what it would be like if he didn’t “have to monitor the foods I put in my mouth or go to the gym anymore.” He feels envious of those who have no inhibitions about being gluttonous. In alignment with astrological aspects, I authorize Savage and all Scorpios to temporarily set aside such inhibitions. Take a brief break. Experiment with what it feels like to free yourself to ingest big helpings of food and drink—as well as metaphorical kinds of nourishment like love and sex and sensations and entertainment. Just for now, allow yourself to play around with voraciousness. You may be surprised at the deeper liberations it triggers.

SAGITTARIUS

(May 21-June 20): Lately, you have been learning more than you thought possible. You have surpassed and transcended previous limits in your understanding of how the world works. Congratulations! I believe the numerous awakenings stem from your willingness to wander freely into the edgy frontier—and then stay there to gather in all the surprising discoveries and revelations flowing your way. I will love it if you continue your pilgrimage out there beyond the borders for a while longer.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Dear Wise Gambler: You rank high in your spacious intelligence, intuitive logic, and robust fantasy life. There’s only one factor that may diminish your ability to discern the difference between wise and unwise gambles. That’s your tendency to get so excited by big, expansive ideas that you neglect to account for messy, inconvenient details. And it’s especially important not to dismiss or underplay those details in the coming weeks. If you include them in your assessments, you will indeed be the shrewdest of wise gamblers.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

(June 21-July 22): As I study the astrological omens for the coming weeks, I suspect you will feel more at home in a situation that has previously felt unnerving or alien. Or you will expedite the arrival of the future by connecting more deeply with your roots. Or you will cultivate more peace and serenity by exploring exotic places. To be honest, though, the planetary configurations are half-mystifying me; I’m offering my best guesses. You may assemble a strong foundation for an experimental fantasy. Or perhaps you will engage in imaginary travel, enabling you to wander widely without leaving your sanctuary. Or all of the above.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn golfer Tiger Woods is one of the alltime greats. He holds numerous records and has won scores of tournaments. On 20 occasions, he has accomplished the most difficult feat: hitting a hole-in-one. But the weird fact is that there were two decades (1998-2018) between his 19th and 20th holesin-one. I suspect your own fallow time came in 2023, Capricorn. By now, you should be back in the hole-in-one groove, metaphorically speaking. And the coming months may bring a series of such crowning strokes.

LEO

AQUARIUS

(July 23-Aug. 22): Of your hundreds of wishes and yearnings, Leo, which is the highest on your priority list? And which are the next two? What are the sweet, rich, inspiring experiences you want more than anything else in life? I invite you to compile a tally of your top three longings. Write them on a piece of paper. Draw or paste an evocative symbol next to each one. Then place this holy document in a prominent spot that you will see regularly. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you are in a phase when focusing and intensifying your intentions will bring big rewards.

VIRGO ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT PUBLIC HEARING

while exploiting it. In the commensal mode, there is exploitation by one partner, but no harm occurs. In the epizoic model, one creature serves as a vehicle for the other but gets nothing in return. The fourth kind of partnership is symbiotic. It’s beneficial to both parties. I bring these thoughts to your attention, Libra, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to take an inventory of your alliances and affiliations—and begin to de-emphasize, even phase out, all but the symbiotic ones.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Actor and travel writer Andrew McCarthy hiked across Spain along the famous pilgrimage route, Camino de Santiago. On the way, he felt so brave and strong that at one point he paradoxically had a sobbing breakdown. He realized how fear had always dominated his life. With this chronic agitation absent for the first time ever, he felt free to be his genuine self. “I started to feel more comfortable in the world and consequently in my own skin,” he testified, concluding, “I think travel obliterates fear.” I recommend applying his prescription to yourself in the coming months, Virgo—in whatever ways your intuition tells you are right. Cosmic forces will be aligned with you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the natural world, there are four partnership styles. In the parasitic variety, one living thing damages another

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Poet Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) lived till age 76, but her destiny was a rough ride. Her native country, the authoritarian Soviet Union, censored her work and imprisoned her friends and family. In one of her poems, she wrote, “If I can’t have love, if I can’t find peace, give me a bitter glory.” She got the latter wish. She came close to winning a Nobel Prize and is now renowned as a great poet and heroic symbol of principled resistance to tyranny. Dear Aquarius, I predict that your life in the coming months will be very different from Akhmatova’s. I expect you will enjoy more peace and love than you’ve had in a long time. Glory will stream your way, too, but it will be graceful, never bitter. The effects will be heightened if you express principled resistance to tyranny.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean perfumer Sophia Grojsman says, “Our lives are quiet. We like to be disturbed by delight.” To that end, she has created more than 30 best-selling fragrances, including Eternity Purple Orchid, Désir Coulant (Flowing Desire), Spellbound, Volupté (Pleasure), and Jelisaveta (“God is abundance”). I bring this up, Pisces, because I believe it’s now essential for you to be disturbed by delight—as well as to disturb others with delight. Please do what’s necessary to become a potent magnet for marvelous interruptions, sublime interventions, and blissful intrusions. And make yourself into a provider of those healing subversions, too. ∆
