SLO rallies in support of abortion rights, Legislature plans constitutional amendment
E

xtraordinary sounds blared from an unusually colorful San Luis Obispo Courthouse Annex less than 24 hours after a draft majority opinion of the Supreme Court on overturning Roe v. Wade leaked and rocked the country. “What do you do when abortion is under attack?” community organizer Quinn Brady cried into a microphone. “Stand up, fight back!” hollered an eclectic crowd. Hundreds of San Luis Obispo residents rallied in front of the courthouse on May 3 to protest a draft opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and leaked to Politico. The 98page document showed the majority of the court not only wanted to overturn the 1973 decision that assured federal constitutional protection of abortion rights, but also the subsequent 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey maintaining that right. Politico broke the story on May 2. “Last night’s leak revealed that our deepest fears are coming true,” announced Reese Galido, a board member of Planned Parenthood Central Coast. “Thirty-six million women plus people who can become pregnant could soon lose their rights and access to abortion. That’s not even the end goal of the anti-abortion movement. They said it this week, their ultimate goal is to pass a nationwide abortion ban that would block abortion access in every state in this country, and we cannot let that happen.” Fellow board member Jason Wells joined Galido as one of the handful of community activists who spoke at the rally. He told the crowd that Planned Parenthood would ramp up services to meet the needs of people in California and beyond if abortion gets outlawed in many states across the U.S. “If the 26 states that are likely to ban abortion do so, the percentage of people who could become pregnant, who would find their nearest abortion clinic here in California would increase 2,900 percent—from 46,000 people to 1.4 million people,” he said. “At Planned Parenthood, we’re hiring more nurses, more doctors, and expanding our health centers to ensure we can provide as much care as we can to as many people as possible.”
The senator told New Times that in the 1980s, “Planned Parenthood was one of the few who stood by me,” at the height of the AIDS epidemic when he served on the Santa Cruz City Council and as the city’s openly gay mayor. A potential overturning of Roe v. Wade poses a “serious worry,” Laird said, because other rulings like the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision recognizing samesex marriage are also in danger of being flipped. At SLO’s rally, organizers stressed the importance of voting in smaller-scale elections. OUTCRY Hundreds of San Luis Obispo residents gathered in front of The SLO County the Superior Court to rally for reproductive rights on May 3.

OCSD fire tax meeting leaves residents and leaders wondering
time on hypothetical things that could happen in a community. So we address issues that come up when they come up.” The fire tax, Measure A-22, is a special tax levied on all real property in the OCSD. At $180 per year from each property owner, the fee would help maintain rapid response times for 911 medical emergency and fire services through the Five Cities Fire Authority. A-22 originally appeared on the 2020 ballot where it received 66 percent voter approval—11 votes shy of the two-thirds majority needed to pass parcel taxes. The OCSD board decided to bring it back this year to “respect the majority’s wishes.” Unlike its city counterparts in the fire authority, Arroyo Grande and Grover Beach, the OCSD has limited fundraising options,
A special meeting about a controversial Oceano fire tax returning to primary election ballots this year appeared to leave residents with a Hobson’s choice—vote “yes” on a flat parcel tax that many are calling inequitable, or receive unspecified fire services from San Luis Obispo County. “We don’t know what we’ll get if it doesn’t pass, and that’s true … because we’re not there yet. That’s a theoretical position. The county would never say, ‘Oh well, let’s try to figure out if Oceano’s tax doesn’t pass,’” said Will Clemens, the Oceano Community Services District’s (OCSD) general manager, at a April 30 special meeting. “But they’re not going to spend their

according to Clemens. The board zeroed in on property tax because other alternatives like sales and cannabis taxes couldn’t be collected because Oceano is unicorporated. While the two cities were able to increase the funds they use to pay for full-time fire staff positions, the OCSD struggled to do the same. If voters finally pass the measure this summer, the money would foot 24/7 services at the fire station, complete with a full-time fire captain, a fire engineer, and firefighters. If A-22 fails again, the OCSD would have to transfer fire service authority to the county, which can provide three days of round-the-clock services per week. But both residents and OCSD board members said they feel left in the dark about the exact nature of county fire services. NEWS continued page 6

Wade Horton, the county administrative officer, said that it would be “premature” to detail a backup plan if the measure fails. Several residents have reservations about the impacts of the parcel tax. One of them is Lucia Casalinuovo, who voted against the tax in 2020. “In my opinion, we need to have a distinction between fire emergencies and medical emergencies. It seems to me that we put more money into medical emergency than fire. Why do we call it ‘fire tax’? Let’s call it ‘medical-fire tax’ to be honest and upfront,” she told New Times. Casalinuovo is referring to Five Cities Battalion Chief Brian Salce’s breakdown of service calls at the special meeting. He announced that the fire authority ran 40,154 calls in 2021. Of these, 631 were in the OCSD. Emergency medical calls comprised 58 percent of those, 33 percent were for public service alerts, 3 percent were to fires, 3 percent to hazardous conditions, 2 percent were false alarms, and 1 percent were miscellaneous. The fact that calls for fire emergencies only made up a small portion raised many eyebrows at the meeting. “Our health system does not provide a good, affordable emergency care for our people. Instead of calling the ambulance, which should be at a fair price, they call the fire department to take care of medical emergencies,” Casalinuovo said. She added that the parcel tax isn’t fair to all OCSD residents, either, given that homeowners and business owners would pay the same amount. The tax amount can also be increased every year, although not by more than 2 percent. An alternative solution, which the majority of the OCSD board rejected, was a proportionate tax that depended on the square-footage of a property. OCSD Board Member Allene Villa told New Times that she gave a thumbs-down to the alternative because many old lots didn’t have proper records of their squarefootage. “That would make it very difficult,” she said, specifying that she was speaking in her capacity as a private citizen. “People who have empty lots with no buildings on them, or they don’t take care of their lots, there’s junk on them and stuff that can cause fires. They also wouldn’t be charged because there’s nothing on them. Landlords could also shift the costs to renters.” Villa said she sympathizes with those bearing the brunt of the possible inequity, but she wants OCSD residents to favor the special tax because divesting from the fire authority and receiving county services seems murky. “The devil you know is better than the devil to discover. They’re not answering, and that, to me, says a lot, she said. “The county alternative … the services they’re going to provide don’t sound like they’re up to par with the [FCFA] services to me.” —Bulbul Rajagopal
SLO finalizes tent ban in parks after year delay
San Luis Obispo’s City Council passed a second reading of an ordinance explicitly banning tents from city parks on May 3—a year after it passed a first reading of the ordinance but delayed a final vote amid allegations that the policy violated
the rights of homeless people. The tent ban first came to the council in April 2021, as an influx of tents and homelessness in Mitchell Park led to public safety and vandalism concerns, according to the city. City officials said that while they interpreted existing code to disallow tents in parks, the language could be made clearer. “We did bring forward language to clarify and make absolutely transparent to the entire community what the rules are,” SLO City Attorney Christine Dietrick said on May 3. “That’s all it was intended to accomplish, is to say out loud, in public, in an understandable way precisely what our rules are.” In the year since the council put the ordinance on hold, the California Rural Legal Assistance filed a lawsuit challenging the city’s enforcement of a variety of ordinances seen as targeting the unhoused community. And that’s exactly what several speakers at the May 3 meeting thought the tent ordinance did as well. One speaker, Ethan, a student at Cal Poly, who experienced homelessness growing up, reminded the council that “no one wants to sleep in a tent.” “I didn’t want to sleep in a car. No one wants to do this. It’s what they have to do. That’s their only option,” Ethan said. “Why are we criminalizing this sad, sad state of affairs? … We need to allow people to sleep and live where they are, and find solutions so that doesn’t happen in the future.” Dietrick and City Manager Derek Johnson emphasized that the city continues to invest in more homeless services and resources but maintained that it does not consider encampments as humane forms of shelter, or city parks as appropriate places to host them. Dietrick described the situation that developed in Mitchell Park last year as “untenable.” “People [in the community] were not going to the park spaces,” Dietrick said. “The types of things we were receiving complaints about were over drug and alcohol abuse and the inevitable consequences of those things. … We were seeing extreme vandalism at a great cost to the entire community. We were seeing illegal activities and pretty scary activities happening in our bathrooms that made them, in effect, unusable. We were seeing an escalation in physical and verbal assaults.” The council voted 3-2 to pass the ordinance’s second reading—with Councilmembers Andy Pease and Michelle Shoresman dissenting. Pease, who also opposed the ordinance last year, said she took issue with it targeting tents. “Use of a tent in and of itself is not a problem. … By banning them outright, I think we are confusing the issues,” Pease said. “And I think some people who aren’t able to have a place to sleep at night would like to be able to sleep with some of their possessions inside in a safe environment.” But the council majority, citing an outpouring of public concern about tents and their impacts on parks, said that the ordinance was necessary. “Unfortunately, there were a couple of comments I received about some very unsafe behavior that was happening in tents in the park, some very violent behavior, and also some drug behavior,” Mayor Erica Stewart said. “I think there’s an aspect of visibility as to why this rule ever existed in the first place. We can’t keep

individuals inside the tent and outside the tent safe if we don’t have these rules.” —Peter Johnson
Gov. Newsom suggests delaying Diablo Canyon’s closure
For the first time since PG&E announced plans to decommission Diablo Canyon Power Plant six years ago, Gov. Gavin Newsom indicated a desire to keep the plant operating beyond 2025, citing the realities of climate change and the threat of future power shortages. Newsom made the comments about Diablo on April 28 to the Los Angeles Times editorial board, saying that PG&E should consider applying for the $6 billion in federal aid available to nuclear power plants across the country facing closure. Referring to the aid and a May 19 deadline to apply, Newsom said: “We would be remiss not to put that on the table as an option.” PG&E did not respond to a New Times request for comment about whether it is considering applying for the aid or whether it’s changed its mind on closing Diablo. But in other statements to the media since Newsom’s comments, PG&E said it is “always open to considering all options.” Local stakeholders have reacted in the days since with a mix of excitement, skepticism, and outrage. Central Coast Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-SLO)—a longtime proponent of keeping Diablo operating—told New Times that he was glad to see the governor’s comments and hopes PG&E will apply for the aid. “People have been asking me, is this real?” Cunningham said. “My answer is we’ll see. It’s real there’s federal money to extend the life of existing nuclear plants. It’s real there’s a deadline for PG&E to apply to try to access some of those funds. I think the governor’s right—we’d be remiss in not at least trying.” Cunningham wasn’t “super surprised” to see Newsom’s new stance, he said, in light of recent conversations he’s had with the governor’s staff about the plant and the state’s energy future. “I’d been getting positive indications that they were starting to take a hard look at it,” he said. “I think what is starting to change is people are looking at it going, there’s going to be a chokepoint on the grid. Can we really afford to lose Diablo’s energy?” Skeptics of the new potential course— like David Weisman of the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility—said they don’t think PG&E or Diablo Canyon is even eligible for the federal aid. Weisman told New Times that the aid’s criteria requires a nuclear plant to face closure due to financial distress, which isn’t the case with Diablo. Weisman shared a recent video of Maureen Zawalick, PG&E’s vice president of decommissioning and technical services, discussing the federal aid and noting that Diablo is not shuttering for financial reasons, but due to the state’s energy policies. “It doesn’t apply to them,” Weisman said. “That’s their own words.” Weisman added that any attempt at this juncture to reverse course on Diablo and extend its life would involve “a field full of land mines.” He noted PG&E’s commitment in 2016 to shutter the plant,
signing a joint proposal with six labor and environmental groups, including the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility, as well as Senate Bill 1090, which passed in 2018 and allowed PG&E to raise power rates to give retention bonuses to Diablo workers and economic impact funds to SLO County, local cities, and school districts. “I hope they haven’t spent those funds. Ratepayers could very likely sue to get the money back,” Weisman said. Cunningham, on the other hand, believes that the SB 1090 funding is “safe” and that PG&E is eligible for the federal aid. Cunningham’s vision is that Diablo remains open for another five to 10 years under an interim license, which would give the state a runway to develop the renewable energy to replace it. “There’s a window here,” he said. “These are critical years.” Linda Seeley, a spokesperson for San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace, a longtime nonprofit Diablo watchdog, said her organization is strongly opposed to the plant’s continued operation. She lambasted Newsom for his recent comments. “We were not only shocked, we were outraged,” Seeley told New Times. “There have been so many years put into this orderly shutdown of this nuclear power plant, and all of a sudden Newsom comes in and throws the apples all over the ground. “We don’t understand why, except that it may be a political move on his part,” she continued. “We don’t think Diablo Canyon is eligible for those funds, for one thing. But you never know in these times, how many exceptions could be made to the actual law.” —Peter Johnson
Paso students push grad cap decoration debate to school board
Students at Paso Robles High School (PRHS) are petitioning for the right to decorate their graduation caps as a means of self-expression. But school administrators say graduation should be “a ceremony more than a celebration.” Zelbert Armer, a PRHS senior, started a petition about a month ago asking that his class be allowed to decorate their graduation caps. Despite gathering more than 700 signatures, PRHS Principal Anthony Overton denied the request, so Armer brought his petition to the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District board meeting on April 26. “Our class and many other classes have not been able to have this, and other schools like Templeton and A-town have been doing it for years,” Armer said during his public comment. “I just would like for us to be able to have a chance and a choice for our students to be able to decorate our caps.” Overton told New Times in an emailed statement that he believes altering the graduation regalia “takes away from the importance, tradition, and symbolic unity of being a Bearcat graduate.” “The crimson cap and gown represent the great accomplishment being celebrated each June, the Paso Robles High School graduating class as a whole,” Overton said. “The cap and gown represent the unity and collective accomplishments of the NEWS continued page 7

“I would like to make sure the kids know that we are listening, and we will discuss this,” he said. Board member Chris Bausch voiced support for Gearhart’s suggestion. Armer said that COVID-19 has been especially hard for his class, affecting the greater part of the students’ high school experience.

orn and raised in Arroyo Grande, Taneesha Regez spent her childhood biking to and from the Arroyo Grande Library. She would bring her big, empty backpack with plenty of room to tote home all her book finds of the day. She never outgrew her passion for books. “Any book lover dreams of owning a bookstore, and that being your job, to be surrounded by books,” Regez said. “I’ve loved them since I was little. About a year ago, my husband and I both started looking around and seeing if we could make it happen.” After a space serendipitously opened up earlier this year, Regez and her husband, Aaron, jumped on it.

Use of force Making our community safer, one step at a time
I
n January 2020, the California Act to Save Lives (AB 392) took effect. This law is an important step forward in reducing police shootings in California—one of the most pressing forms of police violence affecting Black and brown communities in the state. In fact, police kill more people in California than in any other state— and at a rate 37 percent higher than the national average per capita. AB 392 saves lives by addressing the use of deadly force by police officers. Prior to the passage of AB 392, police could use deadly force even if they had other options—so long as the use of force was deemed “reasonable.” Now, with implementation of the California Act to Save Lives, police officers may use deadly force only when necessary to defend themselves or others from immediate harm. For example, if a suspect is fleeing the scene of a suspected crime but is not judged a danger to others, the officer is prohibited from using deadly force to capture them. In addition, an officer is required to use de-escalation techniques, crisis intervention tactics, and other alternatives when feasible. In short, AB 392 holds officers accountable when deadly force isn’t necessary. As members of Bend the Arc: Jewish Action—a social justice organization dedicated to issues such as immigration reform, civil rights, and criminal justice reform—we have been concerned that the city of SLO was not in compliance with California state law because the policy continued to use the language of reasonable instead of necessary force. Why is this important? Because continued noncompliance puts our citizens at risk, especially those from our Black and brown communities. Noncompliance also puts our police at undo risk: Studies show that officers at agencies with stricter use of force policies are actually less likely to be killed or assaulted. With the help of the ACLU and other community partners, Bend the Arc: Jewish Action SLO has worked alongside San Luis Obispo City Attorney Christine Dietrick and Chief of Police Rick Scott to bring SLO city policies into compliance with state law. Two years later, we all agree that our collaborative efforts have produced a much better policy. This revised policy also promotes de-escalation techniques and specifies more clearly when the use of deadly force is allowable. We at Bend the Arc: Jewish Action SLO are proud of our collaborative efforts and we are hoping that other local police jurisdictions will use the city of San Luis Obispo’s Use of Force Policy as a model in their own departments. We will continue
to advocate for laws and policies that make our communities safer and more equitable for all people. To get involved, you can sign up at slo.bendthearc.us/sign_up.

Letters Vote of the people, for the people
It is said that all politics are local. If so, where is this nation headed? It’s frightening but not surprising that all Republican candidates in SLO County have corrupted the system of representative democracy from representing the public to representing the Republican Party. Ironically, the bane of the Republican Party is state socialism where all government activity runs subordinate to the party and state media. Yet, this is exactly the blueprint for what our local Republican candidates advocate. Lynn Compton recently participated in a debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters. Each and every question was answered by her through a script. It takes little imagination to know who scripted those responses. Now it seems that the “Party” has its own media outlet, CalCoastNews, whereby all interviews and questions will be filtered through this source. Lynn Compton, Stacy Korsgaden, and Bruce Jones could very well be elected to represent the “Party” in SLO County. And then what? Or, we can send a message to Washington and the Republican Party by electing Jimmy Paulding, Bruce Gibson, and Dawn Ortiz-Legg returning SLO County to representative democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people. Please vote wisely. Steve Lacki Nipomo
We need a qualified clerk-recorder
When I was on City Council, a young woman was hired as an assistant in the administration office. I watched as she began to study, learn, and eventually to practice her craft under the guiding eyes of the very capable city clerk. Now Elaina Cano is the appointed SLO County Clerk-Recorder, and she is running to be elected to continue in that office.
10 • New Times • May 5 - May 12, 2022 www.newtimesslo.com
Clerk-recorder is not a political office, but rather a very technical position. Fair and transparent elections are vital to our democracy, and it is important that we have someone who has experience doing the job. The nonpartisan office is not a place to learn by doing. Elaina Cano is a certified professional who has studied, learned, practiced and is now providing the public service required of a clerk-recorder. To this day, I do not know what Elaina’s personal politics are, as it should be. I encourage everyone to vote for the most qualified candidate for SLO County clerkrecorder on the ballot in June. Elaina Cano is the one. Christine Mulholland San Luis Obispo
The Diablo roadblack
Will Gov. Newsom turn his back on the residents, businesses, economy, and environment of the Central Coast for $6 billion from the federal government? The stakes are high on his proposed application for this handout to Diablo Canyon, the last standing nuclear generating plant in California. He is willing to spend this money propping up an old, outdated, problem-ridden earthquake-straddling dinosaur instead of investing in the future and present answers to truly clean energy generation. Bottom line is ratepayers always end up paying. PG&E is applying once again for a rate raise. The joint settlement agreement of 2018 on decommissioning Diablo Canyon gave PG&E until 2024 and 2025 to work toward safe decommissioning. Their plans to develop and distribute wind, solar, and other clean energy that doesn’t leave tens of thousands of tons of high-level radioactive waste for future
generations to secure would be a welcome change in their portfolio. Keeping Diablo boiling water with radioactive elements is a roadblock to green energy. Marty Brown Atascadero
Don’t let smear tactics win
Apparently we are in the beginning of the intense campaign season as the lies and distortions have begun. When opening my mailbox recently, I was confronted with an attack piece by Lynn Compton against her opponent for 4th District county supervisor, Jimmy Paulding. Her accusation is that he has taken funds for himself and does not care about our severe water issues in the county. She even distorted his face in this gruesome piece which included a quote from an ultra right-wing news source. She seems to be resorting to smear tactics against her opponent, instead of naming anything she has accomplished in her eight years on the Board of Supervisors. This comes on the heels of the “debate” on April 21 in which Compton read general position papers and threw in an occasional attack on Jimmy. In contrast, Jimmy was able to speak clearly about serious issues and policies in our county, while also correcting her accusations. Jimmy will represent all of his constituents, no matter their party affiliation. He is a strong and honest leader who has support from both Republican and Democrat community leaders. Vote for Jimmy Paulding on June 7 for 4th District supervisor. Linda Reynolds Nipomo

irst, some history. In 2010, when Paul Teixeira ascended to Katcho Achadjian’s old seat on the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors, he was beholden to the development interests that had installed Katcho there and kept him in place for many years. So it was not hard to guess what was behind Supervisor Teixeira’s sudden “streamlining” impulse to dissolve the elected South County Advisory Council in his district and replace it with a body whose members would be hand-picked by the supervisor. The South County Advisory Council (SCAC) had an annoying reputation for insisting on following the county’s general plan when it came to proposed development projects. Teixeira sent the SCAC a your-services-will-no-longer-berequired letter and slipped a resolution onto the supervisors’ consent agenda for noncontroversial items to be passed without discussion. It was a resolution giving the supervisor the power to create his own pet advisory council. As SCAC Chair Dan Woodson mused on Dave Congalton’s radio show at the time, “If he has appointed councl members, they’re going to go along with what he wants to do.” But it was not to be. The Sierra Club joined with virtually every advisory council in the county in informing Supervisor Teixeira that it was citizens, not supervisors, who had the authority to establish an advisory council, and any proposal to change that rule would require vigorous public input. Facing a cascade of such correspondence and the promise of hours of public testimony delivering more of the same, Supervisor Teixeira withdrew his proposal from the agenda. After that meeting, exultant advisory council members from all over the county compared notes, exchanged phone numbers, and agreed it would be a good idea to keep in touch. I told you that story to tell you this one. For the last 15 years, my chapter of the Sierra Club has been advocating for community choice energy in San Luis Obispo County. We were co-convenors of a three-day energy town hall at the SLO Vets Hall, where attendees ranked community choice as far and away the topic of greatest interest. We underwrote travel costs for the technical director of Sonoma County’s climate action plan, the blueprint for the most ambitious community choice program in the country, and scheduled several days of meetings between him and city managers, county planners, and elected officials. We fought for and won the inclusion of policy language in both the county’s climate action plan and general plan update mandating the evaluation of community choice energy. Throughout that time, we were clear on why we did this: Because what matters is not just how much clean energy can be obtained and carbon emissions reduced, but how this is done. Replacing fossil fuels provides an opportunity to bring forward local clean energy solutions that both improve air quality and create good jobs, ensuring that all communities benefit
from a fair economy. A community choice program has the potential to be the best tool for localizing clean energy generation and taking the path to a green economy with green-collar jobs that can support a family, bettering the lives of our most disadvantaged residents. At the Feb. 16 policy board meeting of Central Coast Community Energy (3CE), executive staff tried to push through amendments to the bylaws of 3CE that would cancel the independence of the agency’s community advisory council by eliminating the ability of council members to put items on its agenda— items that very obviously included all of the above—for discussion and action. 3CE staff made clear their intention of restricting their agency’s advisory council to telling board members only the things that staff wanted them to hear. We’d prefer to keep the “community” in Central Coast Community Energy, in keeping with the vision of the community advisory council when it was established, which is why we could not have agreed less with the tone and content of the Feb. 16 3CE policy board staff report and proposed bylaw amendments. The staff report characterized public input as “crowd-sourced proposals that lack staff analysis,” disdain dripping from that phrase like frosting from Marie Antoinette’s golden cake fork. We pointed out to the policy board that 3CE will never get where it needs to go if it does not have a policy in place to ensure that good, green-collar jobs are part of the transition to an equitable clean energy economy. And it will never achieve that if management bars the board from getting advice they may not want to hear. Because of a lot of testimony like that at the Feb. 16 meeting, and more at the subsequent public workshop that came out of it, 3CE staff backed off their vision of advisory council as echo chamber, for now. They would do well to heed the cautionary tale of Supervisor Teixeira’s attempt to sideline the South County Advisory Council, and instead seek to set an example for the essential participation of citizens in energy use decisions impacting their communities and the way community-driven priorities are sought out and conveyed to a governing board. ∆ Andrew Christie is the director of the Sierra Club’s Santa Lucia Chapter.

Opinion
The Shredder
Shock and outrage
B
ig news this week! Abortions are on the chopping block, Diablo Canyon Power Plant might stay open, and Oceano is going to vote on the same fire tax it voted against two years ago. One of those things is not like the other, right? Well, maybe it is to the good, upstanding citizens of Oceano, who are faced with a lesser-of-two-evils decision: Pay more taxes or receive questionable fire service from the county. Sounds like fun! Perpetual outspoken anti-dunes activist and Oceano resident Lucia “I hate State Parks” Casalinuovo was very upset that the Measure A-22 tax would be paying for fire service to respond to just regular ol’ medical emergency calls! As if! “We need to have a distinction between fire emergencies and medical emergencies,” Casalinuovo said. “Instead of calling the ambulance, which should be at a fair price [and isn’t], they call the fire department to take care of medical emergencies.” Actually, “they” call 911. And 911 dispatchers dispatch both fire and ambulance to a medical call because firefighters are also medically-trained first responders. That way, if you’re having an actual medical emergency, you can get a medically trained first responder who happens to be closest to your location to start figuring out what the hell is wrong with you and just maybe save your life. At $180 per year—aka $15 per month— landowners in Oceano can keep their fire service, which also happens to respond to medical calls (just like everywhere
else). Or they can just say no to the tax, and potentially get service from the county for a full three days out of every week! Wow! Que magnifique. What happens if there’s a fire or medical emergency on one of the four days of the week that the county isn’t guaranteeing coverage. Shrug! Who knows? Oceano has no idea, and neither does the county. “The county would never say, ‘Oh well, let’s try to figure out if Oceano’s tax doesn’t pass,” Oceano Community Services District General Manager Will Clemens said. “They’re not going to spend their time on hypothetical things that could happen in a community.” County Administrative Officer Wade Horton said it would be “premature” to detail a backup plan if the measure fails. Umm, hey Wade, Will? Oceano’s tax already didn’t pass two years ago. So what the hell has the county been doing since the 2020 election? Apparently, crossing its fingers that Oceano will pass the same exact tax that lost by 11 votes in 2020. In order to get covered all day, every day, it would cost an extra 49 cents a day. If it’s your time to dial 911, are you going to wish you voted in favor of that tax? Might be too “premature” to venture a guess. Only the future knows. “The devil you know is better than the devil to discover,” Oceano Community

Shalimar
elieve me, your local Indian, that Shalimar offers the best Indian and Pakistani fare in San Luis Obispo. Don’t turn up wearing anything with buttons because they will pop thanks to Shalimar’s generous lunch and dinner buffets at no more than $15 a person. You can’t take your leftovers home, so simmer in your seat, and tuck in to the crispiest catfish fritters, the light but warming lamb curry, and saag (creamy spinach), among a cornucopia of options. Don’t forget the kheer (rice pudding) for a sweet treat, and stick around for seconds … and thirds. —Bulbul Rajagopal

hat makes Firestone Grill a great spot for families and large groups to gather over some grub comes down to a combination of the venue’s casual atmosphere and shareable dishes. There are plenty of ways to bond with loved ones at a dinner table, but sharing a basket of Firestone’s perfectly seasoned fries with a couple sides of ranch is tough to beat. Firestone’s onion rings are perfect for sharing as well, and taste divine—it’s no wonder why they’re the same shape as angel halos. If sharing food with family members isn’t exactly your cup of tea, there are plenty of solo options—for adults and kids alike— to indulge in. Hot dogs and burgers and salad—oh my! —Caleb Wiseblood

Ziggy’s
iggy’s serves burgers, tacos, cheesy fries, breakfast burritos, and taquitos, but with an important twist: Every item is vegan. People can enjoy the luxury of chomping into a taco that is filling and full of flavor, without straying from their dietary needs. The takeout-only style restaurant began with the mission of making food for everyone—not just vegans. “We just wanted to make good food that happens to be less impactful for the environment,” according to its mission statement. Ziggy’s takeout system allows everyone to enjoy its food in the peace and quiet of their own home, and its diverse menu will suit anyone’s needs—whether ordering from the Paso Robles or San Luis Obispo locations. —Taylor O’Connor

There Does Not Exist
here might not exist, but San Luis Obispo native Max Montgomery certainly put his craft brewery on the map when he opened There Does Not Exist in SLO Town in 2019. A former brewer at Firestone Walker Brewing Company, Montgomery put his own psychedelic twist on his branding and aesthetic with this project, but don’t be fooled by the wild and cosmic stencil-style artwork wrapped around his cans. There Does Not Exist beer is grounded in pure quality and craftsmanship. The feat of this brewery is its range—every style of beer it produces, from European brews to IPAs, is simply top-notch, or dare we say, the best. —Peter Johnson

hoebe Bridgers. Elvis Costello. Pat Benatar. This is just a handful of some massive talents slated to perform upcoming concerts at the Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Tears for Fears, Ringo Starr (who is returning to the venue in October), and other acts at the local staple over the years, and I’ve yet to be dissapointed. There’s always something magical about sitting under the stars at Vina Robles, especially while hearing one of your childhood idols perform live in person. To anyone who’s planning on catching Cal Poly alumnus “Weird Al” Yankovic’s show in September, I’ll see you there! —Caleb Wiseblood

Jake Schroeder (The Mojave Room)
olar-powered (first in America, mind you) with red chairs and real butter on its popcorn, the Palm Theatre in San Luis Obispo is the default for film buffs. Take it from my friend, who biked there expecting to watch the latest Nicolas Cage movie, while I waited with our tickets at another theater. The Palm doesn’t play the new Cage flick but its offbeat curation of films from around the world leaves me feeling all the richer for their wealth of knowledge. I go almost every week. From Oscar shorts to global documentaries, the Palm has us covered. It’s the best place to up your cultural knowledge. —Bulbul Rajagopal

s an avid thrifter, I’ve personally vetted nearly every shop in town, and I always find myself going back to Fred & Betty’s. The store is clean and organized, the prices are clear and reasonable, and there are thrift gems galore—the thrifting trifecta! Some of my favorite pieces I’ve snagged at the Higuera Street shop include a set of jade green glass plates, vintage sunglasses, and a brand new pair of Saucony wool sneakers, which just goes to show the range of items you can score at Fred & Betty’s. Plus, you can feel good while you shop, because all proceeds benefit SLO Classical Academy. Yay education! —Malea Martin

N
eed a new house plant? A hyper-specific type of screw? Some ant traps? Look no further than Miner’s Ace Hardware. With locations sprinkled throughout SLO County (Nipomo, Grover Beach, Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo, Los Osos, Morro Bay, and Atascadero), the friendly staff at Miner’s are eager to help you fi nd the missing piece to your latest home improvement project. Personally, my favorite part of the store is the plant department, featuring a wide selection of healthy house plants like monsteras, fiddle leaf fi gs, and snake plants. Miner’s has been in the community for more than 65 years now, and its superb customer service, fair prices, and wide selection show why it’s a clear winner. —Malea Martin

With five veterinarians and eight registered vet technicians on its staff, Animal Care Clinic’s robust team has the expertise and wherewithal to take the greatest care of your pet and hundreds of others in the community. In its state-of-the-art facility, you’ll find three exam rooms; rooms for ultrasounds, consulting, treatment, and surgery; isolation and intensive care units; and even a two-bedroom apartment for live-in nurses. This clinic is the real deal and a force for good in the community, with a 30year track record to show for it. —Peter Johnson

Benny’s Pizza Palace & Social Club
“I
ngenious” is one way to describe Benny’s Pizza’s business plan. The company’s namesake—Ben Arrona—began making pizzas out of his home kitchen for friends, and when he outgrew that he began renting a commercial kitchen—and through a private Facebook group—began selling his Detroit pies twice a week, subletting the commercial kitchen the other days. He sold out every bake. With two business partners, he bought the old Pepe Delgado’s location and liquor license, invited Facebook group members to submit B&W photos of themselves in gold frames to decorate the walls, and voila! Benny’s Pizza Palace was born. There’s still space on the wall for you. —Glen Starkey

BEST DOG PARK
C
Laguna Lake Park
an we all agree that dogs are the best? Can we also agree that dogs, like people, need to socialize to lead happy, healthy lives? The best places for both dogs and people to meet those needs is a dog park, where dogs can meet other dogs and people can meet other dog lovers. Most dog parks are completely fenced in, which some like, but if you have a ball dog who really likes to run, Laguna Lake Park is the place. The road side of the dog park is fenced while the field side is open, and you’re looking out at the lake, trees, a playground, and open space. It’s as beautiful as your four-legged friend. —Glen Starkey

Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn plays the Fremont
I
didn’t “discover” Bruce Cockburn until 1991 and his 16th album, Nothing but a Burning Light, but man, he hit me like a freight train. The folky singersongwriter—with his jazz and worldmusic-tinged sounds, and his songs about progressive politics and spirituality—was exactly what I needed to hear, and he had a rich back catalog to dig into, not to mention many more amazing albums to come, most recently Crowing Ignites (2019). He can do no wrong in my book. Your can enjoy an evening with Bruce Cockburn on Sunday, May 8 (8 p.m.; $39.40 to $57 plus fees at eventbrite.com), in the Fremont Theater. You know those internet memes asking people to badly describe their jobs without really describing their jobs? “My job,” Cockburn explained in press materials, “is to try and trap the spirit of things in the scratches of pen on paper and the pulling of notes out of metal.” He’s an insightful and spellbinding songwriter and an exquisite guitarist who picked up musical ideas during travels to far-flung places such as Guatemala, Mali, Mozambique, and Nepal. His activism is also well known, “on issues from native rights and land mines to the environment and Third World debt, working for organizations such as Oxfam, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, and Friends of the Earth.” “We can’t settle for things as they are,” he once warned. “If you don’t tackle the problems, they’re going to get worse.” Now 76, he’s still got plenty to say. “I’d rather think about what I’m going to do next,” Cockburn said. “My models for graceful aging are guys like John Lee Hooker and Mississippi John Hurt, who never stop working till they drop, as I fully expect to be doing, and just getting better as musicians and as human beings.” There’s a bunch of other shows at the Fremont this week including The Mountain Goats on Friday, May 6 (8 p.m.; all ages; $50.51 at seetickets.us). John Darnielle, known for his melancholy lo-fi alt-rock tunes, fronts them. Art rocker and fantasy metal act Cardioid, featuring Lizzy Ellison previously of Radiation City, opens. The Emo Night Tour happens on Saturday, May 7, at the Fremont (8 p.m.; 18-and-older; $25.38 at seetickets.us). “Imagine going to a show and hearing Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, and many more, all only playing their best songs ... all night long,” organizers said. “The Emo Night Tour DJs will

At 18, the Worcester, England, native joined Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, and Chris Wood to form Traffic. The Psychedelic Furs come to the Fremont on Wednesday, May 11 (8 p.m.; all ages; $59.74 at seetickets. us). The Psyche Furs were new wave favorites who blew up after their song “Pretty in Pink” exploded along with the movie starring Molly Ringwald. Now they’re touring for Made of Rain, their first new album in 29 years. He’ll probably cancel because it will be too warm in the theater or the air pressure might feel off or he might smell someone eating a Slim Jim®, but supposedly Morrissey is playing the Fremont on Thursday, May 12 (8 p.m.; all ages; tickets $89.50 to $188 plus fees at eventbrite.com).

He’s sometimes referred to as “The Hendrix of the Sahara,” but the dude is a straight-up amazing fingerstyle guitarist with a huge range. Born in Niafunké, Mali, in 1981, he’s the son of legendary Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré, who died in 2006. He has six studio albums to his credit, most recently Samba (2017). The guitar virtuoso has a distinct style that “pays homage to the past while looking towards the future,” according to his bio.

SLO Rep presents The Children
The San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre presents its production of Lucy Kirkwood’s one-act play, The Children, through Sunday, May 15. The Tony Award-nominated drama is described in press materials as a “pressure cooker of a show that poses a difficult question: What do we owe, if anything, to the next generation?” The Children follows a pair of retired nuclear scientists in England who receive a surprise visit from a former colleague. Casual conversations between the three evolve into “the revelation of a chilling and dangerous plan,” according to press materials. This iteration of The Children is directed by Michael Brusasco and features sets designed by Jason Bolen, costumes designed by Randon Pool, and sound and lighting designed by Kevin Harris. The show’s cast includes Karin Hendricks-Bolen, Suzy Newman, and Tom Ammon. Performances of The Children will be held Thursday through Saturday at 7 p.m. each evening. Additional performances will be held every Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets to the show range from $20 to $38 and are available online in advance at slorep.org or by calling (805) 7862440.

OperaSLO brings Rodgers and Hammerstein’s beloved musical to the PAC
HAVE FUN TO MAKE FUN Cast members Mitchell Hardy and Ally King share a laugh during the rehearsal of Carousel, a musical about two young couples trying to forge successful futures in 1873 Maine.
I
f you’ve seen Carousel—Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Tony Award-winning 1945 Broadway musical about two young couples falling in love in 1873 Maine, which was made into a somewhat toned-down 1956 film—you know what you’re in for: a song-filled story about tragedy and triumph, rejection and redemption. It was Rodgers and Hammerstein’s second collaboration—after Oklahoma!—so they had everything to lose and everything to prove to top that achievement. What they created was another revolution in musical theater that Time Magazine voted best musical of the 20th century. You can see OperaSLO’s production this weekend, May 7 and 8, at the SLO Performing Arts Center. Billy Bigelow is a rough-around-the-edges carousel barker who falls for millworker Julie Jordan. Meanwhile, Julie’s millworker friend, Carrie Pipperidge, falls for ambitious fisherman Enoch Snow. The two couples have very different futures in store for themselves, and along the way, audiences will be treated to some very familiar music. “Carousel’s successful longevity is attributed to the great fame behind the music,” OperaSLO Artistic and General Director Dr. Brian Asher Alhadeff said. “There are at least three songs that have ascended beyond the boundaries of the musical to everyday familiarity: ‘If I Loved You,’ ‘June Is Bustin’ Out All Over,’ and ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.’ ‘If I Loved You’ alone has been covered by famous pop artists including Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, and Mario Lanza. ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ has been performed by Elvis Presley, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and the Righteous Brothers, just to name a few.” As beautiful as the music is, and as upbeat as musical theater is often expected to be, Carousel deals with difficult topics. If you’ve never seen it, I won’t spoil it for you, but Alhadeff believes facing these topics enriches the theater experience. “A ticket to Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel gives audiences the unique opportunity of experiencing theater through three dimensions at the same time: an 1880s story, through the lens of our 1940s post-World War II retelling, and finally experienced 77 years later in the context of a much more evolved 2022 perspective. The great Stephen Sondheim noted Rodgers and Hammerstein’s ability to take the successful innovations of Oklahoma! and apply them to a serious setting: ‘While Oklahoma! is about a picnic, Carousel is about life and death.’ “Identifying with difficult stories and the characters that bring them to life gives audiences the ability to experience empathy,” he continued. “Uncomfortable subjects offer observers an outsider’s perspective, which can help combat their own unresolved issues. Live theater helps us better understand situations and people in our own lives. Add to that the third dimension of fantastic emotionally charged

o-writer and director Tom Gormican (That Awkward Moment) helms this action comedy with Nicolas Cage playing himself. He’s strapped for cash, so he agrees to take a million-dollar appearance fee at billionaire fan Javi Gutierrez’s (Pedro Pascal) extravagant birthday bash, but when it turns out Javi may be a drug kingpin involved in the kidnapping of a politician’s daughter (Alessandra Mastronardi), Cage finds himself recruited by two CIA agents (Tiffany Haddish and Ike Barinholtz). (107 min.) Glen If you’re not savvy to Nicholas Cage’s reputation as an over-the-top, scenery-chewing madman, step one is to stop reading this, open YouTube, and search for “Nicholas Cage losing his shit,” which will take you to a montage of some of the actor’s choicest moments of wild-eyed thespian mayhem. He’s also known for rarely saying no to a paycheck, especially in recent years where it’s not uncommon for him to film five or more movies a year, some of them arguably terrible: Jiu Jitsu (2020) anyone? Yet, Cage has proven himself a remarkable talent—the man can be an absolute genius. All these disparate truths are in play in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which simultaneously makes fun of and pays homage to Cage’s reputation. It’s an absolute blast. Anna I love when someone who has been a household name for decades and has every reason to carry around bravado and ego doesn’t mind poking fun at themselves. I applaud his willingness to be both the star and the butt of the joke. In the film, Nick’s struggling not only to find his next big project and source of income, but also with his relationship with his 16-year-old daughter, Addy (Lily Mo Sheen). She’s unimpressed by his taste in books and film and his desire for her to like all the things he likes. His ex-wife, Olivia (Sharon Horgan), is sick of having to explain to him that it shouldn’t be a shock that his teenage daughter doesn’t dig his obscure picks
BESTIES? Nicholas Cage and Pedro Pascal star in the action comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, in which Cage stars as himself hired to attend a billionaire fan’s birthday party, leading to a wild weekend involving a drug cartel and the CIA.
THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT
What’s it rated? R What’s it worth, Anna? Full price What’s it worth, Glen? Full price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 for movie night. When he loses out on a part he really wanted and wallows by getting way too sauced at Addy’s birthday party, it’s clear that Nick needs to get his life together. Then the fun can really begin when he meets Javi after agreeing to attend his birthday party for a price. Even as the film’s plot line becomes more and more ridiculous, it only gets more fun to watch. Cage and Pascal are wonderful together—I’ll watch a buddy comedy between those two anytime! Glen Pascal is positively ebullient! There’s an amazing scene when they decide to drop acid together, and the look in Pascal’s eyes is pure delight. The first thing I remember seeing him in was Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), where he struck me as a Latin Burt Reynolds. He’s handsome and roguish, but in this role he’s downright giddy. Javi loves Nick and his films so much, and as their relationship blossoms, they truly appreciate one another, though Cage is understandably wary. Much of the
comedy comes from their mixed signals to one another—because Cage believes Javi’s a remorseless drug runner, he reads menace in all the wrong places. Soon they’re collaborating on a screenplay together, discussing twists and turns and how potentially ludicrous they’d be to the character arcs and plot points … and yet the film goes in outlandish directions and makes it work. This may not be the best film in theaters this year, but it’s certainly one of the most fun. Anna It had me laughing over and over again, especially their acid-fueled adventure and paranoia that led to some real hijinks. Cage can’t help but like Javi, even after he’s been told Javi is a kidnapper. He seems so affable and truly interested in working with Nick on their screenplay. Haddish and Barinholtz play the CIA agents trying to recover Maria, both great comedians and great additions to this cast. This is just one of those films that you leave believing that everyone on set had a great time making it. It’s silly and outlandish and totally fun from start to finish. I can see this being one of those films I rewatch when I need a mood boost—it just gave me a lot of joy. Δ Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and freelancer Anna Starkey write Split Screen.

o-writer Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse) directs this action-packed revenge tale about 10th century Viking prince Amleth (Alexander Skarsgård), who embarks on a bloody quest to avenge his father’s (Ethan Hawke) murder at the hand of his brother, Fjölnir (Claes Bang), who takes the king’s wife, Queen Gunrún (Nicole Kidman), as his own. Co-written with Sjón (Lamb, Dancer in the Dark). The movie also stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Willem Defoe, and Björk. Move the “h” in Amleth to the front of his name and you have Hamlet. In fact, Shakespeare’s most famous play (written between 1599 and 1601) derives its plot from Danish history document Saxo Grammaticus (written around 1200) about a hero whose name translates as “not sane” avenging his slain father and ascending to Valhalla.

Toxic masculinity abounds in Viking culture. Women are slaves—even the ones meant to be queens such as Gunrún and Olga (Taylor-Joy). And what of Amleth’s quest and ultimate goal? Maybe it’s just me, but dying in battle to ascend to Valhalla seems like a pyrrhic victory. I’d rather grow old with my queen.

et ready to get angry when you settle in to watch The Thing About Pam. Renee Zellweger dons a bunch of prosthetics to play Pam Hupp, and while she is not unrecognizable, she certainly looks much closer to the real Pam than Zellweger ever could without a lot of movie magic. As absolutely vile as a person Zellweger portrays on screen, real-life Pam Hupp is even more disgusting and dastardly. I recommend the six-part podcast by the same name if you really want to get into the dirty details of this case. Pam pretends to be everyone’s friend—everyone except her husband and kids, that is—and when her best friend, Betsy, is murdered, Pam can’t help but insert herself into the case over and over. Wherever she goes, the story seems to follow, and also following that story

Soon enough, Pam’s armchair expertise at getting away with murder starts to fall apart, and the lengths she goes to in order to stay out of the hot seat are unbelievable.

More than bread Bread Bike’s vision for the future involves a symbiotic relationship with the community, being part of California’s grain economy, and of course, lots of bread
W
hat does it mean to be a community-supported bakery? For Bread Bike, the concept has evolved with their business. When owners Mariah Grady and Sam DeNicola first started out, they were baking and biking bread to SLO locals’ homes—like a CSA (community-supported agriculture) box, but for bread. You can still get bread delivered to your door by bike, but now you’ll also find Bread Bike under an easy-up tent at local farmers’ markets, or at the bakery’s newly built-out space on Parker Street. From the public’s view, Bread Bike’s bakery space popped up rather seamlessly. Behind the scenes, it was months of laborious days as DeNicola and his dad turned a completely blank space into a fully functioning bakery. Meanwhile, Grady and Matt Gamarra— formerly of Loaf Osos, and now Bread Bike’s third co-owner alongside Grady and DeNicola—kept pastry and breadmaking afloat. Now about 16 people have a hand in Bread Bike’s operations. Though it’s been open to the public for a few months, Bread Bike celebrated the grand opening of its bakery space with a free pizza party on April 9. It was a joyous event filled with food, music, and dancing, attended by hundreds of supporters. DeNicola remembers the moment he and Grady realized they needed their own bakery space. At the beginning, Bread Bike rented space from existing bakeries in SLO, but business was quickly outgrowing a shared space. So the pair met at Triangle Park in 2020, where they often hold their business meetings, and decided to start working toward getting a bakery all to themselves. “It was these big questions of, I know I need a location. I know I need this big, expensive equipment that takes a long time to procure. … And I also know I need a ton of money to do all of that,” DeNicola said. “I didn’t know how to start. I felt really paralyzed.” That’s when he discovered Slow Money SLO, a nonprofit with a mission to support the sustainable growth of small food, beverage, and farm businesses. The organization facilitates peer-to-peer loans to help businesses like Bread Bike get the capital they need to, say, build a bakery from scratch. “Different people were like, this is an awesome project, I would like to contribute $5,000, or I would like to contribute $20,000, or whatever, and that was the beginning,” DeNicola said. “This came from 10 to 15 different individuals who live here in the county, who want to see this exist.”
Space to roam
Get your bread delivered by bike, find it at a local farmers’ market, or check out Bread Bike’s new spot at 2060a Parker St. in SLO. It’s open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sundays. Visit slobreakbike.com for more information.
From there, things started to click into place. “It was a year ago almost exactly that I signed the lease on this space,” DeNicola said. “This project basically was run by myself and my father, because my dad’s a general contractor.” DeNicola said he often marvels at all the little things that allowed Bread Bike to happen: the loans through Slow Money SLO, his dad being able to help him build, the community members who stepped up and pitched in. “It’s a feeling of gratitude. Things just work for Bread Bike, somehow,” he said. “I think that’s because we’re just trying to make something for the community. No one’s trying to get rich, we’re just trying to make good food. And people see that.” Bread Bike’s front entrance is bright and cheery. Verdant pothos plants wind their vines around ceiling beams, and a glass counter display is filled with freshmade gallettes, scones, cookies, and rolls. Slanted wooden shelves behind the front counter are overflowing with baguettes and loaves. Bakers scurry around in the back, weighing butter, pushing bags of grain on carts, popping in and out of the walkin fridge, and maneuvering around the massive, 8-foot-tall bread oven. Leaning against a burnt orange wall are bags of poppy and sesame seeds, a flat of oranges, and fresh grain. And then there’s Bread Bike’s latest addition, the pièce de résistance: a stone mill, which is basically two slabs of stone granite that grind grain into flour. “Our bread begins in fields,” DeNicola said. “All the grain we use is grown organically.” In the past, Bread Bike purchased its grains already in flour form. But the mill will change that. “We’re working on adjusting our recipes so 100 percent of our whole grain components in the bread are going to be freshly stone milled,” DeNicola said. Stone mills are what allow grain to remain whole, he explained. A grain kernel is made up of three pieces: bran, endosperm, and germ. “White flour is just purely the endosperm,” DeNicola said. “Then the bran and the germ, that’s where you have a lot of your nutrition,

But we don’t have to worry “I think at its core, a communityabout things going bad because we’re supported bakery milling it, and the same day, or the next MUSIC is just this idea that our job is to support the day, we’re using that in our community—and at the flour.

STAFF WRITER
New Times in San Luis Obispo County is looking for its next staff writer, but we’re not looking for just any article-pushing, sourcewrangling, story-chasing someone. Are you sick of editing or regurgitating press releases day after day? Or maybe it’s those damn list things—you know the ones: “Top 10 hottest places to eat your lunch on a rainy day.” Or maybe it’s just not being able to put the time and reporting into a story that deserves it: the weeks and repeated phone calls that give a story what it needs to ripen into the hard-charging, data-filled narrative it’s dying to be; the time that turns a “meh” story into one that blows a hole in the status quo. Can you see the big picture of what a story means to a community? Is that what drives you? Do you know what it takes to—yes, we know, it’s cliché— make a difference in the lives of the people you cover? Does that sort of thing matter to you? If so, then you’re exactly who we’re looking for: a staff writer who isn’t afraid to take on the tedious, the tenuous, or the talented. That certain someone who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to the communities of San Luis Obispo County. Agricultural, water, and environmental advocacy aren’t the only things that drive this place—although those are pretty juicy beats. There’s more, and we want to hire someone who can drive his or herself to unearth those stories and tell them in a meaningful way. Let us know if you’ve got what it takes. We dare you. Send a résumé, cover letter, and story samples to Cindy Rucker at crucker@newtimesslo.com. New Times Media Group is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: DALE VERNE HELLER A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by EUGENE MAURICE HELLER in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo.

HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this Notice of Default and Foreclosure Sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage Deed of Trust is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is based on the nature of the breach, this loan is not subject to reinstatement. A total payoff is required to cancel the foreclosure sale, or the breach must otherwise be cured, if applicable. A description of the default is as follows: FAILURE TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE WHICH BECAME ALL DUE AND PAY ABLE BASED UPON THE [DEATH OF ALL MORTGAGORS] AND THE PROPERTY IS NOT THE PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE OF AT LEAST ONE SURVIVING BORROWER.

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 (949) 860-9155 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit www.chtrustdeed.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 22100109. 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 Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (949) 305-8901, or visit this internet website, www. chtrustdeed.com, using the file number assigned to this case 22100109 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. Please take notice that if the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Further, if the foreclosure sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid and shall have no further recourse or remedy against the Mortgagor, Mortgagee, or Trustee herein. If you have previously been discharged in bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this notice is intended to exercise the note holders rights against the real property only. As required by law, you are notified that a negative credit reporting may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligation.

LIBRA
(March 21-April 19): Poet Jennifer Willoughby writes, “I am so busy. I am practicing my new hobby of watching me become someone else. There is so much violence in reconstruction. Every minute is grisly, but I have to participate. I am building what I cannot break.” I wouldn’t describe your own reconstruction process during recent months as “violent” or “grisly,” Aries, but it has been strenuous and demanding. The good news is that you have mostly completed the most demanding work. Soon the process will become more fun. Congratulations on creating an unbreakable new version of yourself!
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Author Anne Lamott is renowned for her tender approach to expressing her struggles with addiction, depression, and other tribulations. One of her supreme tests was being a single mother who raised her son, Sam. In this effort, she was her usual plucky self. Anytime she hosted playdates with Sam’s young friends at her home, she called on the help of crayons and paint and pens and clay and scissors. “When we did art with the kids, the demons would lie down,” she testified. I recommend a comparable strategy for you in the coming days, Libra. You will have extra power as you tame, calm, or transform your demons. Making art could be effective, as well as any task that spurs your creativity and imagination.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z tells us, “Don’t ever go with the flow. Instead, be the flow.” Here’s what I think he means: If we go with the flow, we adjust and accommodate ourselves to a force that is not necessarily aligned with our personal inclinations and needs. To go with the flow implies we are surrendering our autonomy. To claim our full sovereignty, on the other hand, we are wise to be the flow. We should create our own flow, which is just right for our unique inclinations and needs. I think this is the right approach for you right now, Taurus. Be the flow.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Italian language used to be a dialect spoken in Tuscany. That area comprises less than 8 percent of the country’s territory. How did such a dramatic evolution happen? Why did a local dialect supersede other dialects like Piedmontese, Neapolitan, Sicilian, and others? In part, it was because three potent 14th century writers wrote in the Tuscan dialect: Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarch, and Giovanni Boccaccio. Another reason: Because Tuscany is centrally located in Italy, its dialect was less influenced by languages in France and other nearby countries. I offer this as a metaphor for you in the coming months. One of your personal talents, affiliations, or inclinations could become more influential and widespread—and have more authority in your life.

(June 21-July 22): “Always strive to be more interested than interesting,” said actor and activist Jane Fonda. That may not be easy for you to accomplish in the near future, dear Cancerian. Your curiosity will be at peak levels, but you may also be extra compelling and captivating. So I’ll amend Fonda’s advice: Give yourself permission to be both as interested and as interesting as you can imagine. Entertain the world with your lively personality as you go in quest of new information, fresh perceptions, and unprecedented experiences.
LEO
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “My heart has developed a kind of amnesia, where it remembers everything but itself,” writes Scorpio poet Sabrina Benaim. If you suffer a condition that resembles hers, it’s about to change. According to my astrological analysis, your heart will soon not only remember everything; it will also remember itself. What a blissful homecoming that will be—although it may also be unruly and confounding, at least in the beginning. But after the initial surprise calms down, you will celebrate a dramatic enhancement of emotionally rich self-knowledge. You will feel united with the source of your longing to love and be loved.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Just because things hadn’t gone the way I had planned didn’t necessarily mean they had gone wrong,” writes Sagittarian author Ann Patchett. Her thought may be helpful for you to meditate on. My guess is that you will ultimately be glad that things didn’t go the way you planned. God or your Higher Self or the Mysterious Forces of Destiny will conspire to lead you away from limited expectations or not-big-enough visions so as to offer you bigger and better blessings.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Novelist Jane Austen (1775-1817) confessed she was a “wild beast.” Really? The author who wrote masterfully about the complex social lives of wealthy British people? Here’s my theory: The wild beast in her made her original, unsentimental, humorous, and brilliant in creating her stories. How is your own inner wild beast, Capricorn? According to my reading of the astrological omens, now is an excellent time to give it fun, rich assignments. What parts of your life would benefit from tapping into raw, primal energy?
AQUARIUS
(July 23-Aug. 22): “When in doubt, act like God,” proclaimed Leo singer-songwriter Madonna. I wouldn’t usually endorse that advice. But I’ll make an exception for you Leos during the next three weeks. Due to a divine configuration of astrological omens, you are authorized to ascend to new heights of sovereignty and self-possession—even to the point of doing a vivid God impersonation. For best results, don’t choose an angry, jealous, tyrannical deity to be your role model. Pattern yourself after a sweeter, funnier, more intimate type of celestial being.
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian poet Jack Gilbert wrote, “I lie in the dark wondering if this quiet in me now is a beginning or an end.” I don’t know how Gilbert solved his dilemma. But I suspect you will soon be inclined to pose a similar question. In your case, the answer will be that the quiet in you is a beginning. Ah! But in the early going, it may not resemble a beginning. You might be puzzled by its fuzzy, meandering quality. But sooner or later, the quiet in you will become fertile and inspirational. You will ride it to the next chapter of your life story.
VIRGO
PISCES
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My Virgo friend Amanda told me she felt tight and overwrought. She was overthinking and on the verge of a meltdown. With a rueful sigh, she added, “I adore anything that helps me decompress, unwind, simmer down, stop worrying, lighten up, compose myself, and mellow out.” So I invited her to take deep breaths, close her eyes, and visualize herself immersed in blue-green light. Then I asked her to name influences she loved: people, animals, natural places, music, books, films, art, and physical movements that made her feel happy to be alive. She came up with eight different sources of bliss, and together we meditated on them. Half an hour later, she was as relaxed as she had been in months. I recommend you try a comparable exercise every day for the next 14 days. Be proactive about cultivating tranquil delight.
(Feb. 19-March 20): The genre of poetry known as haiku often relies on unexpected juxtapositions. Critic R.H. Blyth observed, “In haiku, the two entirely different things that are joined in sameness are poetry and sensation, spirit and matter.” I suspect your life in the coming weeks will have metaphorical resemblances to haikus. You will be skilled at blending elements that aren’t often combined, or that should be blended but haven’t been. For inspiration, read these haikus by Raymond Roseliep. 1. in the stream / stones making half / the music. 2. horizon / wild swan drifting through / the woman’s body. 3. birthcry! / the stars / are all in place. 4. bathwater / down the drain / some of me. 5. grass / holding the shape / of our night. 6. campfire extinguished, / the woman washing dishes / in a pan of stars. ∆
