Summertime is here once again, and this year we are ready to enjoy some of our much-loved events and gathering that we missed last year. Summer brings a sense of adventure and endless possibilities, long summer days filled with trips to the beach and outdoor adventures.

On June 9, our daughter Elle will officially end her High School career. She technically has been done since December, but this will mark the milestone, and we are looking forward to celebrating the start of her new journey.

In June this year, on the 19th, we celebrate our fathers for all the love, support, and guidance they give to our families and us. Watching Nic guide and mentor our boys as they grow fills my heart and soul. He is an incredible father and friend.

We are truly blessed to have him. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and men who step into that role when one is needed. I miss my dad each and every day — much love to all of you who are missing your loved ones.

On the cover this month, San Luis Obispo Police Chief Rick Scott shares with us how the death of Detective Luca Benedetti deeply impacted his first year as the Chief and how he and the department continue to honor his sacrifice and his plans for the community moving forward.

We are deeply moved by the incredible stories we get to share each month. We are blessed with an incredible team that helps us put it all together and all of our advertisers who continue to believe in us and the community.

We always will be grateful to be able to do what we love, and we will keep it going as long as we have stories to tell.

BEHIND THE BADGE

Protecting You and Your Business

BY IAN PARKINSON

O

ur mission at the Sheriff ’s Office is to respond to crimes. But along with that, we also try to prevent crimes from happening in the first place. That’s why we have a Crime Prevention Unit to help spread the word on how to protect yourself, your family, and your property. Later in this column, I’m going to give you some crime prevention tips for your place of business. But before we get to that, I want to tell you the reason why I’m giving you those tips.

elry and pawn stores in the San Francisco, San Jose, and Santa Clara areas where the suspects sold the stolen jewelry. In April, the San Jose Police Department notified the Sheriff ’s Office they had arrested one of the suspects. About a week later, the Santa Clara County Sheriff ’s Office arrested the other suspect. Both were transported to the San Luis Obispo County Jail, where they are facing charges of commercial burglary, receiving stolen property, conspiracy to commit burglary, and other theft-related charges.

Our crime prevention officers are available to conduct site surveys at your business free of charge. They’ll come to your business, take a look around and then make some suggestions on how you can better protect your livelihood. Oh, and they’ll do the same for your home as well. So here are those tips I was telling you about.

Outside: Your first line of defense is the outside of your business.

Shrubbery and landscaping can make good hiding places for burglars.

Keep them trimmed back for greater visibility.

Doors: The best locks are deadbolt locks with a minimum 1 inch throw bolt containing a hardened steel insert which resists sawing. Hollow-core doors should be replaced with solid core doors or strengthened with metal sheets. Glass windows in the door should be reinforced with shatter-resistant window film.

A few months ago, we had a burglary at a business in Cambria. It was at the Rich Man Poor Man Antique Shop. Deputies responded to a report of an audible alarm at the store at around 3:45 in the morning. When deputies arrived, they noticed the front glass door to the business was shattered. Surveillance video also revealed a male suspect smashing jewelry cases with a hammer. That hammer was later found at the business and was collected as evidence. The video showed the suspect taking a large amount of jewelry from the smashed cases. The loss was estimated at more than $250,000. Let me repeat that. More than a quarter-million dollars was taken from the store in just a matter of minutes.

Windows: Make sure that windows are in good repair and have the ability to lock.

Alarms: An alarm and a surveillance system are recommended. An alarm will let you know when there is something amiss but won’t necessarily catch the crook. That’s why a surveillance system is just as important in that it can help identify and lead to the capture of a criminal.

That’s what happened in the Cambria incident I just told you about.

If you would be interested in having a site survey done on your business or home, all you have to do is call our Crime Prevention Unit at (805) 781-4578 to schedule an appointment. And again, the service is Based on the evidence collected at the scene, sheriff ’s detectives were free of charge. able to positively identify two suspects from Santa Clara County who were involved in the heist.

CLEAN ENERGY

California Reconsidering Closure of Diablo Canyon Power Plant

BY CAMILLE DEVAUL

O

n Thursday, April 28, Gov. Gavin Newsom told the L.A. Times editorial board he is reconsidering the closure of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in San Luis Obispo.

The power plant stands as California’s last power plant. Planned to begin decommissioning in 2025, Newsom said the state is now looking to seek out a share of $6 billion in federal funds for nuclear reactors facing closure. In 2021, the plant in Diablo Canyon generated 6 percent of the state’s power.

Earlier this month, the Biden administration announced they were accepting applications for their $6 billion Civil Nuclear Credit Program. The funding is an effort to prevent at-risk nuclear facilities from premature closure while supporting Biden’s clean energy goals.

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) guidance for receiving the funds includes “... nuclear power reactors that are expected to shut down due to economic circumstances ...”

Additionally, the DOE says the investment is meant to avoid premature retirements of reactors and to preserve jobs.

Per Newsom, the state has until May 19 to submit its application to receive the funds.

State officials would later decide their final plans on whether or not to pursue the option.

However, it was clarified by a spokesperson for the governor that he will still seek to close the facility long-term.

Diablo Canyon Power Plant began providing power in 1985. Six years ago, PG&E agreed to close the plant.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, there were 93 operating nu-

SUPERVISORS CORNER

Fire, Water, and Energy

BY SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY DISTRICT 5 SUPERVISOR DEBBIE ARNOLD

T

he rain season is almost over, and San Luis Obispo County is experiencing another year of dry drought conditions. I continue to work with the Paso Robles Cooperative Committee, the Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) for the Paso Robles Basin, as well as the Atascadero Subbasin GSA to manage the North County’s groundwater. As your representative, I have focused on groundwater health and sustainability and the fair distribution of the available water.

County citizens can expect conservation measures again this year to reduce water usage. Unfortunately, along with the dry conditions comes more extreme fire danger. We are fortunate to have an active Fire Safe Council here in SLO County. The Fire Safe Council has brought millions of dollars in grant money to our county in the last few years and completed many fire prevention projects in the most fireprone areas. Property owners can do their part by clearing defensible space around buildings. For information on structure and landscaping with fire-resistant material, go to fscslo.org.

relatively equal population.

In District 2, the boundary line has moved east to take in more residents. It now includes the City of Atascadero, the area around Nacimiento, and San Miguel. District 4 in South County is also part of this election cycle, and its boundaries have changed since the last election. Though District 3 is usually not included in this election cycle, it will have an election this year to fill the vacancy left by the passing of the 3rd District Supervisor, Adam Hill. However, the District 3 election will use the old district lines.

Supervisors representing District 1 in Paso Robles ( John Peschong) and District 5 in Atascadero (myself ) will continue to represent the areas we were elected in during the 2020 election. Those districts will not utilize the new boundaries until the 2024 election cycle.

I look forward to representing the old 5th District, including the City of Atascadero, for the next few years.

After January 3 of next year, two Supervisors will represent the City of Atascadero and some other areas for the next two years until the following election cycle.

Redistricting brings significant changes to the election process as district lines are redrawn for many of the elected offices that we’ll be voting on in this year’s election cycle. ReLastly, I would like to mention the potential districting is done every 10 years. A state-appointed policy changes for Diablo Canyon Power Plant.

PASO ARTS

Studios on the Park’s Multi-Talented Artist and Uber Volunteer

BY CAROL TUCKER

H

aving totally had it with snow, ice, and cold in general, Carol Tucker and her husband Jim Peterson packed up and left Colorado after 33 years, heading to the Central Coast. A graduate of the University of Colorado with a double degree in human communication and theatre, Carol has always been involved in the arts: “fine art” as well as theater. She built stained glass windows for several years and painted a bit in acrylics.

Carol taught theatre arts at the high school level and was publicity director at the Schwayder Theatre of the JCC in Glendale, Colorado, where she acted, sang, and costumed productions.

She has worked as a caterer and event manager, and she can bake cakes too!

She and her husband settled on a beautiful property in Templeton and completed a straw bale house there in 2009, where she paints, gardens, cooks, and continues her pursuit of all things creative.

In 2008 she heard about Studios on the Park and became friends with Anne Laddon, who talked her into “helping” create an art studio/gallery in an unused auto parts store in downtown Paso. It was surely fate. Carol said “yes” and became the first volunteer for Studios on the Park. Over the past 15 years, Carol has shared these talents as a volunteer and artist at Studios. From the Festival of the Arts to the Sweet Art Luncheon fundraiser, her varied talents matched the various events there.

A few years ago, she began taking lessons in oil painting and embarked on a new challenge: painting, exhibiting, and sharing a bit of Studio 10 with artist Lynn Kishiyama. Her oils are colorful and straight forward, and they’re selling!

SLO ARTS

Summer Arts

BY RICK CASTELLO, SLO COUNTY ARTS COUNCIL BOARD MEMBER

S

ummer in SLO County is the season of change. Students and teachers flow out of their classrooms to enjoy a few months of freedom and relaxation before school begins again. Thousands of Cal Poly students leave the area to return to their homes elsewhere, and thousands of tourists flow in to visit and appreciate everything we love about our county.

free and open to the public, SLOMA’s Second Saturdays program features art-making activities that are created to pair with the museum’s current exhibitions. These activities are for all ages and all experience levels, so even if you don’t think you have an artistic bone in your body (trust me, you do!), these activities are for you. Activities are held on the lawn outside of SLOMA on the SLO Mission Plaza side.

Aside from the usual attractions the area has to offer, the combination of warm days, cool breezes, and longer days to enjoy it all make summer in SLO County an amazing time to enjoy the arts.

There are many wonderful guides out there to finding art happenings in our county, many of them free to enjoy, and I don’t have nearly enough space here to mention them all, but here are a few of my personal picks, especially focused on events held outdoors or indoor/outdoor, where you can enjoy the summer weather: Art and About (Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons): These are free, self-guided art walks through local businesses and galleries in SLO, Paso Robles, Los Osos, and Morro Bay, featuring original visual, literary, or performing arts. I especially love these events because they combine art and community, giving us an opportunity to experience art together.

Poetry Reading at SLO Botanical Garden with Kevin Clark and Ginger Adcock ( June 12, SLO): Poetry and plants. Beautiful, thought-provoking words in a beautiful setting. Kevin Clark is SLO County’s award-winning Poet Laureate, and Ginger Adcock is a local writer and maker, and mentor. Both will share some of their works with us in an unforgettable evening.

Live Oak Music Festival ( June 17-19, SLO): A fundraiser for local public radio station KCBX, Live Oak isn’t just an outdoor music festival. It’s a whole experience, whether you go for the whole weekend or just an afternoon. The beautiful El Chorro Regional Park is filled with visual and musical arts all weekend long and plenty of kid-friendly arts and crafts and activities for “little acorns” to take part in, too. One of the best things about the event is the relaxed and considerate community vibe that regulars know as “The Live Oak Way.”

Pacific Breeze Concerts in Pismo Beach (1 p.m. on the Second Sunday of every month, Pismo Beach): Sponsored by the Pismo Beach recreation department, these free outdoor concerts at Dinosaur Caves Park are always a great time. You get to enjoy great music with a fantastic view, and there are plenty of things for kids to do, too. June 12’s concert features Dante Marsh and the Vibe Setters, and July 10 is The Molly Ringwald Project.

This is just a taste of what’s happening in the arts in the county this summer. If you’re into wine tasting, many, many of the local wineries Second Saturdays Free Art Activity at San Luis Obispo host both visual arts galleries and weekend concerts throughout the Museum of Art (Second Saturday of every month, SLO): Completely summer, also. I look forward to seeing you out there, soaking up the arts!

SLO COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION

Future Careers Locally Grown

BY JAMES BRESCIA, ED.D. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

A

question all Americans should ponder is how we guide the next generation.

Community leaders hope for solid, decent, well-rounded young people who will value their families, strengthen their communities, and uphold the democratic values of our civil society. The future of humanity depends on success in fostering the next generations’ healthy intellectual development and curiosity. The students that live in our community today are the citizens, leaders, workers, and parents of tomorrow. If we invest wisely in these young people who are our greatest assets, the next generation will pay that investment back with productivity, civic engagement, and responsible citizenship. If we fail to invest in building a solid foundation, we put our future prosperity and our national security at risk. Tools for fostering engagement such as apprenticeships, internships, Career and Technical Education (CTE), and summer employment are programs that promote a path for today’s youth. The San Luis Obispo County Office of Education (SLOCOE) has fostered a partnership with the County of San Luis Obispo to boost youth employment, apprenticeships and expand our childcare workforce.

Apprenticeships are industry-driven, high-quality career pathways developed in partnership with employers. These programs are often called internships, job awareness programs, or work experience. The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors, the

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever” - Mahatma Gandhi 16 | JUNE 2022

Workforce Development Board, Cuesta College, and SLO Partners are all committed to making use of our American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to enhance and expand paid apprenticeships, on-the-job learning experiences, CTE, job mentorships, and employer accepted job certifications. Investment in these programs allows employers to recruit and develop a diverse and skilled workforce, improve profitability, minimize employee turnover, and create flexible training opportunities. Many apprentices, interns, and onthe-job learning participants become regular or seasonal employees. San Luis Obispo County employers report that these programs provide a pipeline of skilled employees, reduce recruiting costs, and better match employee skills with workplace needs.

The SLOCOE Ticket2Teach program inspires future early childhood educators by providing tuition assistance while completing Cuesta College’s Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education (ECE), guiding participants through the ECE permit process, and supporting access to pathways to advance employment. Applications for Ticket2Teach are online at ticket2teach.org. By leveraging existing SLOCOE programs, the funds provided by the Board of Supervisors support a collaborative consortium of local partners, including the SLO County Child Care Planning Council, CAPSLO Child Care Resource Connection, Quality Counts SLO County, First5 SLO County, and the We Are the Care Initiative. All partners are engaged in the shared development and implementation of this ARPA Child Care Funding Plan to support San Luis Obispo County in growing a skilled ECE workforce.

Our newly approved Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Youth Services program is structured to provide pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs in online and in-person formats serving disadvantaged populations who often lack capacity in school schedules or have dropped out of school. The SLOCOE Youth Services program facilitates in-school and out-of-school paid and unpaid work-based

experiences in partnership with apprenticeship programs, Cuesta College, and adult education. Work-based learning opportunities, including apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship offered by SLOCOE and SLO Partners, assist students in developing soft skills, basic job skills, and work experience skills expected of applicants in highly competitive hiring processes seen among many San Luis Obispo County employers.

SLOCOE and SLO Partners have data-supported programs that serve students who are disabled, second-language speakers, disadvantaged, and under-represented in exploring career pathways. The collaborative efforts of our community provide space for employers across the county to facilitate career pathways. For example, although Pacific, Gas, and Electric (PG&E), the largest private employer in the area, represents a specific industry sector (Energy, Environment, and Utilities), the company employs workers in Informations Communications Technology (ICT), engineering, product design, and hospitality. In addition to providing workplace opportunities for students in multiple pathways and giving significant financial support each year to education, PG&E has a representative advising our workforce development programs.

The SLOCOE in-school and out-of-school programs also provide time for tutoring to ensure participants acquire the academic skills to compete successfully for apprenticeships and job placements. These partnerships foster sustainability by leveraging funds from SLOCOE, our CTE Foundation, employers, the Workforce Development Board, the California Department of Rehabilitation, the Adult Education Block Grant, First5, and the Extended Learning Opportunity Grant. I thank the Board of Supervisors, the Workforce Development Board, First5, CAPSLO, Cuesta College, SLO Partners, partner agencies, and local employers for investing in our next generation.

As your county superintendent of schools, I am committed to promoting future locally grown careers.

Exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet radiation from tanning booths

SAN LUIS OBISPO POLICE

Chief Rick Scott

A one year anniversary like none other

BY CAMILLE DEVAUL

W

hen Rick Scott became the new San Luis Obispo police chief in May 2021, it was a day he would never forget. Not because of the excitement of moving to a new city to serve, but because the day he became the chief of police was also the day the San Luis Obispo Police Department lost one of its own.

SLOPD Detective Luca Benedetti was killed in the line of duty, and another officer was seriously wounded while serving a warrant on May 10, 2021. This tragic incident began Scott’s tenure as the department’s chief.

“We [Benedetti and I] share a very unfortunate anniversary together,” Chief Scott said.

While at the department preparing to start his role as chief in a few days, Scott received a call about a critical incident that had just occurred.

“At that time, I didn’t know what to do,” Chief Scott explained since he had not yet officially started. “But I knew I needed to be there. I made the decision that it was time to go to work, and so my career started on that day, at that moment when I received that phone call.”

As many law enforcement personnel will tell you, a fallen officer is a call that no one is ever ready to receive and is the worse thing that could happen to any police department — or a tight-knit community like San Luis Obispo.

18 | JUNE 2022

Central Coast Journal

“We will always remember and honor Detective Benedetti’s selfless service for our police family and a grateful community. We will never forget Luca and the inspiring legacy he leaves behind.”

So through the Chief ’s eyes, his first duty in the position was to dedicate his leadership towards healing the community, the department, and supporting the Benedetti family.

“I trusted the department to help me in those early days as well as through this first year as we still struggle with this tragedy.”

Leading up to their first anniversary, the Chief has represented Benedetti and his family when enrolling the fallen officer into the State Memorial on the Capitol grounds in Sacramento and the National Memorial in Washington D.C. Enrolling Benedetti in the memorials within days of the anniversary was reflective for the Chief, “it painfully brought back the emotions [we all] felt in the days and weeks following the tragedy.”

“I saw that this [San Luis ObisAdditionally, Chief Scott wants

the community to hold the department accountable for its actions.

“I have joined an outstanding department,” but he acknowledges there is more work to be done to build the department’s relationship within the community. Scott says he sees a healthy relationship blooming in San Luis Obispo and appreciates all the support the department has received.

For 25 years, Scott has served in law enforcement, serving 24 of those years in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. His grandfather served as an officer, so he says he grew up intrigued by and respecting the profession.

Law enforcement is a career that finds you. That is the response I usually hear when asking an officer if they always saw themselves in the field. And that was exactly what Chief Scott said when asked the question.

Originally, Chief Scott pursued a career in microbiology, but after working in a lab, he didn’t find the work rewarding. He wanted a higher calling and a meaningful career working with the community.

So fast forward 25 years, and the Chief is enjoying life on the Central Coast with his wife and two daughters — and not missing the Texas weather.

“Someday, when it is time for me to move on, hopefully, the legacy I will have created here with the department is a legacy of people,” Chief Scott said. “People caring and believing in people.”

However, throughout the past year, Chief Scott says he has seen Benedetti through the eyes of those who knew and loved him.

The last year has been a journey for the Chief, learning who Benedetti was through his wife, children, parents, family, and friends.

“I have now been able to know Luca in a way that I hope we can communicate through future generations,” Scott said. “This is who he was, this is what he stood for, and this is why we are a better department because he served here.

CLASSIC COOKING

Summer Celebrations and Easy Cookin’

BY BARBIE BUTZ

T

here’s just no other month on the calendar like June. The word uses a slow cooker so that she or he will be freed up to join the party. “celebration” says it all. We celebrate graduations, weddings, class, This simple stew is best served over rice. The longer it cooks, the more and family reunions, and don’t forget anniversaries (we celebrate 63!). tender the pork will become. To thicken the stew a little more, just add another chopped corn tortilla.

All of our celebrations involve gatherings of family and friends, and when that happens, it involves food. Right?

Serve with warmed tortillas for guests who would like to roll up some stew and rice burrito-style and a fresh green salad tossed with To make it easy on the cook, I picked a theme for this menu that a light dressing.

Ingredients • 3 lb tomatillos, husked and rinsed • 6–8 serrano chiles, stemmed and seeded • 1 white onion, halved • 2 cloves garlic • 1 corn tortilla, chopped • 2 cups chicken stock, more as needed • 1 pinch of ground fennel • 3 tbsp vegetable oil • 21⁄2 lb lean pork stew meat, cut into 11⁄2-inch cubes • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro • 1 pinch of salt to taste • 4 oz Mexican queso fresco or feta cheese, crumbled (1 scant cup)

• 3 tbsp vegetable oil • 2 lb lean pork stew meat, cut into 11⁄2-inch cubes • 1 32 oz can green chile sauce • 1 18 oz jar chunky green chile salsa • 1⁄4 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish

• 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded, cut in half • 1 red bell pepper, seeded, cut in half • 1 green bell pepper, seeded, cut in half • 1 onion, cut in fourths, then thin slices • 1⁄3 cup corn oil • 2 tbsp lemon juice • 1 tsp coarsely ground mustard • 1 clove garlic, crushed • 1⁄2 tsp Trader Joe’s 21 Season Salute • 11⁄2 tsp sugar • 1 pinch of salt and pepper to taste

Pork Stew in Tomatillo Sauce

P

reheat the broiler. Place the tomatillos, chiles, onion, and garlic on a baking sheet. Broil, turning occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes until blackened. Remove from broiler and transfer to cutting board. When cool enough to handle, chop vegetables.

Transfer the vegetables to a blender and add the tortilla, stock, and fennel. Purée until almost smooth. Add more stock as needed to achieve the thickness you prefer. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and

add oil. In batches, if necessary, add pork and cook, turning for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned on all sides. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer to slow cooker. Pour sauce over pork. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until meat is very tender. Stir in cilantro and salt to taste about 10 minutes before serving.

Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the cheese. This next recipe is an even simpler version of the same stew. Serve in the same manner with warm tortillas.

slotted spoon, transfer to slow cooker. Add chile sauce and salsa. Mix well. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until meat is tender. Serve garnished with chopped cilantro.

Roast Pepper Relish

I

t’s always nice to offer a relish along with stew, and this next recipe can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It would also work well with cold meats or crusty bread and cheese. Great for picnics!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place peppers, cut-sides down, in a roasting pan.

Bake for 30 minutes or until skins begin to blister and blacken. Cool, then peel.

Cut peppers in fourths and slice in thin strips.

Put peppers into a shallow dish and sprinkle with onion. Combine remaining ingredients in a screw-topped jar and shake vigorously until well blended. Pour mixture over peppers and marinate for several hours, stirring occasionally.

Start your celebration with Guacamole, salsa, and chips, and end with lemon sherbet and shortbread cookies.

Enjoy your June Celebrations, Cheers!

WORLD OF WINE

What’s a Bordeaux-style blend?

BY MIRA HONEYCUTT

I

n restaurants, tasting rooms and wine bars you’ll come across the phrase “Bordeaux-style blend.” The blends are both red and white wines, with the red blend taking the lead worldwide with producers and consumers.

A classic red Bordeaux-style blend is a wine that can be composed of six red grape varieties, primarily cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot with lesser amounts of malbec and petit verdot, and the rarely used carmenère.

A red Bordeaux conjures up wine that is elegant, well-structured and age-worthy. The deep-hued wine is rich with flavors of black fruits, dark cherries, cassis and cocoa, backed with firm tannins.

Bordeaux wines are produced in France’s southwest region of Bordeaux.

The wine region itself is outside the city of Bordeaux on the Garonne River, which is joined in the north by Dordogne River forming the Gironde estuary.

Generally using the five grape varieties, the Bordeaux blends produced on the left bank and right bank flanking the Gironde estuary are different. On the left bank, known as the Medoc region, the blends are cabernet sauvignon-driven (Bordeaux’s second largest growing grape.) Merlot, the number-one grape in the region, dominates the blends on the right bank regions of Pomerol and Saint-Émilion.

The Bordeaux wine region is renowned around the world so many New World wine regions emulate the Bordeaux style of red blend with all or some of the classic five grape varieties. In France, the wine is simply referred to as a Bordeaux and only wines made in the Bordeaux region can be labeled as such. Outside of France, the wine is identified as a Bordeaux-style red blend.

CentralCoastJournal.com

A red Bordeaux can also be produced from cabernet sauvignon grapes only and not a blend and still be called a Bordeaux, but a cabernet sauvignon made outside of Bordeaux cannot be termed as a Bordeaux wine.

Malbec — expressive of plums and black cherry and blackberry flavors, this is an inky black color wine with robust tannins and medium acidity. Malbec adds softness and deep color to the blend. It’s a popular grape variety in Argentina with a dominant production of Although Bordeaux produces white 75 percent of all the malbec acres in the world. wines — which are a blend of at least two of the four varieties of semillon, sauvignon Petit verdot — expressive of black fruits blanc, sauvignon gris and muscadelle — red and violets, its powerful tannins kick up the wine rules in Bordeaux as the classic five- alcohol content.

INTO THE WILD

Free Flowing

T

he trail and chaparral surrounding Big Pine Mountain were still cloaked in knee deep snow. It was a chilly remnant of December storms that had recently soaked the backcountry and left a decent snowpack in the Los Padres National Forest, the only winter rains of 2021.

Myself and three others were backpacking our way to the Sisquoc River via Bluff Camp. As the day wore on from warm to frigid in a matter of just a few miles, microclimates swirled around Big Pine, the eastern fringe of the San Rafael Range, and the highest summits in Santa Barbara County and the Dick Smith Wilderness at 6,320 feet.

Bushwhacked To get to that lofty point, the day before was spent bushwhacking our way mightily through overgrown chaparral for a solid 7 miles. Some of the growth was well over our heads, as we thrashed and ascended upwards. There was no water source, and the route had been long since closed, the old, shrouded 4x4 track not found on the map.

crisp starry night. Camped where the Dick Smith and the San Rafael Wildernesses converge, Bluff Camp is a major junction of the National Forest.

Early the next morning, we walked upward toward Big Pine, where hazy views of the Channel Islands National Park faded away in our rearview mirrors. A significant, year-round runnel beckoned, its headwaters tucked away in crumbly shady shale and gritty sandstone of the Transverse Ranges. And still, the winding Sisquoc River feeds another river that flows out to the Pacific Ocean on the Central California Coast.

Quail Run The Sisquoc is one of 16 rivers in California designated as Wild and Scenic, and part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

The rivulet originates on the north slope of Big Pine Mountain, and the runnel is entirely free-flowing.

The Sisquoc runs for 57 miles and is a tributary of the Santa Maria River. It first converges with the Cuyama River before it merges with the Santa Maria River, where it reaches the sweeping coastal sand dunes near the Guadalupe Sand Dunes National Wildlife Refuge, north of Point Conception. In the Chumash language Sisquoc means “quail.” It is one of the last bastions for steelhead trout, western pond turtles and arroyo toads, backcountry fauna still clinging to natural freshwater arroyos.

By nightfall we had reached Buckhorn Road, and we were grateful for the patches of snow found on the dirt road, just enough moisture to push us forward to Bluff Camp. Once at Bluff Camp all was quiet. No one was around and water was an immediate priority. We found the creek behind the camp, hidden beyond the well.

Maybe that’s why Upper and Lower Bear Camps are called as such in the Upper Sisquoc? The camps are remote, and every time I’ve spend time there, it always appears like great foraging potential within their backcountry biome.

Last Word

Juneteenth

A SPECIAL TO THE CENTRAL COAST JOURNAL

J

une, the first month of summer, is home to a day of remembrance that has been recognized and celebrated over the years; however, it only recently became a federally observed holiday.

Juneteenth marks the final stop on June 19, 1865, of Union Major General Gordon Granger arriving in Galveston, Texas, to announce, “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free...”

Juneteenth (which is short for June 19) marks the emotional and purposeful end to the American Civil War, fought between a Democratic Party intent to expand slavery into new states and a Republican Party created in 1854 to oppose the extension of slavery led by then-President Abraham Lincoln.

Upon Abraham Lincoln’s election as the 16th president of the United States, with a clear mandate to act in some way on the existence of state-sanctioned slavery — which violated the inalienable human rights emblazoned in the Declaration of Independence and principles vested in the Bill of Rights.

The conflict was inevitable, and the Civil War was a long and bloody war that cost 620,000 American lives on both sides of the conflict.

Juneteenth is the proclaimed end to that conflict, announced to the people of Galveston, Texas, in June of 1865 — little more than a month after the final battle of the Civil War, the Battle of Palmito Ranch.

The final conflict of a war that spanned more than four years — April 12, 1861, to May 13, 1865 — was fought on what the Texas Observer described as “an unremarkable patch of salt prairie to the east of Brownsville, where on May 12 and 13, 1865, a Union advance was beaten back by Confederate artillery fire. About 800 troops were involved at what came to be called the Battle of Palmito Ranch.”

Approximately 300 miles north, Maj. Gen.

Granger rode into Galveston with his announcement less than 40 days later, and the day would live on as a true day of celebration for the end of state-sanctioned slavery in the United States.

While the Emancipation Proclamation was far more famous, ringing the words of President Lincoln in the heart of the nation, it was Granger’s announcement that gave birth to the holiday, Juneteenth.

According to the National Archives, “Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the nation, it captured the hearts and imagination of millions of Americans and fundamentally transformed the character of the war. After January 1, 1863, every advance of federal troops expanded the domain of freedom.”

Moreover, the Proclamation announced the acceptance of black men into the Union Army and Navy, enabling the liberated to become liberators. By the end of the war, almost 200,000 black soldiers and sailors had fought for the Union and freedom.”

With new vigor, Union soldiers battled against a ferocious Confederate Army for another two and a half years after Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863.

Ironically, the Second Battle of Galveston also happened on January 1, 1863. A landsea attack by Confederate Maj. Gen. John B. Magruder successfully retook the island of Galveston and forced the Union out to sea.

The Civil War waged on with 257 more battles in 29 months after the famous Emancipation Proclamation, according to the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission.

The end of the Civil War came not with a bang, but a whimper as 800 soldiers on both sides fought the Battle of Palmito Ranch, which the Confederate army won — on the southern-most land to hold a battle in the war.

But the final Confederate victory was of little to-do, as the announcement by Maj. Gen. Granger was a proclamation of victory for the Union and the end of the practice of slavery in the United States.

Juneteenth today stands as the day in history when the proclamation that “all slaves are free” was made in all corners of the nation.

The holiday had gained attention in the latter part of the 20th century, but the celebration of the holiday remains concentrated in southern states, especially in Texas, where it has been celebrated for more than 150 years.

In 2020, then-President Donald Trump announced Juneteenth would be made a national holiday; and it become official when the Senate unanimously passed a resolution and then signed into law by President Joe Biden on June 17, 2021, which established June 19 as Juneteenth National Independence Day, commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S. The now federal holiday is culturally significant to all Americans as the announcement of the end of state-sanctioned slavery and the unceremonious end of the most deadly war in American history.
