San Simeon landowners to get off water waitlist following legal settlement
E
ight San Simeon property owners will get off a water waitlist in the near future, allowing them to take the next steps toward developing their properties, thanks to a settlement between one local man and the San Simeon Community Services District (CSD). The tentative agreement reached between Bob Hather, a San Luis Obispo resident and owner of an acre of undeveloped land in San Simeon, and the North Coast board will make Hather $50,000 richer and bring him one step closer to making his development plans a reality. He wants to build 15 affordable housing units. Hather filed both federal and state suits last year after the district refused to provide water service to his property and rejected his application for an exemption from the water moratorium, which has been in effect since 1986. Once finalized, the May 10 decision made in closed session gives Hather a water service commitment from the district. Before he can actually develop, he’ll first have to secure a coastal development permit from the county and avoid any appeals from the California Coastal Commission, which have halted proposed developments in Cambria in the past. “The federal lawsuit generally challenged the district’s failure to provide water [for] certain residents, particularly the ones who paid to be on the waitlist,” said Babak Naficy, one of Hather’s lawyers. “In the state claim … we also had specifically challenged the district’s denial of Mr. Hather’s hardship application.” Under the district’s water connection moratorium, there’s a provision that allows property owners to get an exemption based on factors like financial hardship, the extent of the proposed water usage, and environmental impacts. Hather and his lawyers say that he qualifies for the hardship exemption in multiple ways, particularly that the development is his retirement plan. “The way the [settlement] is structured, they basically reconsidered the denial of [Hather’s] hardship exemption,” Naficy said of the board’s May 10 decision. CSD board member Michael Donahue said the board initially rejected Hather’s request partially out of fairness to others on the waitlist. There are 14 applicants on the San Simeon water waitlist right now, and Hather is No. 8. “He was kind of jumping in line. He’s not No.
SLO County supervisors drop effort to put charter on the ballot
Wasteful. Shortsighted. A Pandora’s box. Cannot be trusted. Local citizens used all of those phrases and more on May 17 to describe a recent San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors proposal to place a county charter on the November 2022 ballot. First floated by 1st District Supervisor John Peschong last year as a means to ensure that special elections, rather than temporary appointments, fill vacant county elected office seats, Peschong and the board changed course on May 17 and voted unanimously to

WATER RIGHTS SLO resident Bob Hather will now be able to take steps toward developing his San Simeon property, thanks to a settlement reached between him and the San Simeon Community Services District.
1 on the water waitlist, why should we honor No. 8 before No. 1?” Donahue said. “[The board] also felt that this hardship was pretty much a fiction: Everybody can claim hardship.” But after Hather filed his lawsuits, Donahue said the board was concerned about the exorbitant costs of going to court. “It would have dragged on and the legal bills would have far exceeded the settlement that was finally agreed to, in my opinion,” Donahue said. “I think the settlement was a balanced settlement, and it was done with the idea of minimizing legal bills.” As part of the tenative settlement, the district is paying Hather $50,000 for his attorney fees. Donahue said the cost of going to court would have been far higher. Under the settlement, the district will also provide water commitments to everyone ahead of Hather on the waitlist. “There’s no unfairness to it in that respect,” Donahue said. “So he [Hather] kind of did everybody a favor. Now, I’m sure there’s some people ahead of him that are going to say, ‘Why
give him $50,000 in district funds?’” Donahue supports phasing out the water moratorium, which would allow everyone remaining on the waitlist to get a water service commitment from the CSD too. He said the district commissioned a hydrological report that “shows that we have more than enough water for all people on the waitlist, even in a once in a hundred year drought.” “There still needs to be an in-stream flow study completed to make sure that excessive pumping does not harm frogs and stuff like that in the stream,” he added, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of November. Donahue said that in the past, the board has held a “nobody’s complaining so let’s do nothing” attitude about letting people off the waitlist. “I do think it’s because of Bob Hather’s lawsuit that we actually commissioned the hydrologic report showing water availability and the instream flow study,” Donahue said. “Why wasn’t this done a long time ago? Because nobody was threatening to sue the district.” ∆ —Malea Martin
drop the idea. “I pretty much got spanked,” Peschong said after the wave of critical public feedback. “So I will be not supporting this today.” As drafted, the proposed charter would’ve required the county to hold a special election for any elected office vacancy that occurred a year or more before a regular scheduled election. Officials estimated that each special election would cost between $313,000 and $1 million. Charters require a simple majority of county voters to pass and a simple majority of voters to amend. Of California’s 58 counties, 14 currently have charters. While Peschong, 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold, and 4th District Supervisor
Lynn Compton backed the charter as recently as April, the idea lost its momentum after county staff said that the board could not insert “safeguards” in the charter to make future amendments more difficult to pass—like requiring a supermajority vote of the board and/ or the voters. That kind of measure violates the California Constitution, officials said. Concerned that the charter would be subject to future amendments that could cause harm to the county, Peschong, Arnold, and Compton pulled the plug on it. “At the end of the day, it’s not a good idea,” Peschong said. That was the prevailing sentiment of those NEWS continued page 6

who spoke during public comment on May 17. Several residents warned that a charter would be subject to the whims of any future Board of Supervisors majority or even an influential special interest group. “Please do not for one minute operate under the false sense of security that voting to support a charter written with a single function today will by any means guarantee us that it will remain unaltered into the future,” local resident Sara Simms said. Others focused their critiques on the proposed charter’s singular focus on special elections, and what the resulting effect would be on county tax dollars. “I’m against it because I just see all these expensive special elections—and I’m a taxpayer—and I’d really like us to spend less money,” Atascadero resident Anne Quinn said. “I just can’t understand why we can’t accept the temporary appointment by an elected governor. It’s temporary. The voters have a chance to weigh in quickly enough.” Longtime opponents of the charter idea, 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson and 3rd District Supervisor Dawn OrtizLegg, joined the other board members in the vote to drop the initiative. Gibson noted that he would’ve supported the charter if it had included an independent redistricting commission in it—an idea Peschong, Arnold, and Compton opposed. “My support for the charter county concept had always been completely contingent on it including an independent redistricting commission,” Gibson said. “The thought of electing the vacancies is democratic one, and the cost is the cost. But if those districts that those elections are conducted in aren’t fairly drawn, then that isn’t a good idea.” —Peter Johnson
Oceano Advisory Council wants county to reject campground project
The Oceano Advisory Council voted to recommend against renovating the local airport’s campground at a recent meeting—with one council member advocating for SLO County to close the airport altogether on account of the area being “land poor.” The almost 70-year-old Oceano Airport came under scrutiny recently because of a county-proposed campground renovation project. It split residents and leaders into two camps—one that wants to preserve a space for private and chartered flights, and another that questions the general public’s accessibility to the airport. At its May 12 meeting, the Oceano Advisory Council seemed divided, too, but a 3-2 vote recommending against campground renovation prevailed. “We didn’t vote that we don’t want the renovations anymore, but that we don’t want the airport anymore because we’re land poor,” Allene Villa, the advisory council’s chair, told New Times. The advisory council’s concerns about the airport campground renovation include worries about the negative impact of artificial turf on the environment, flooding and runoff from the parking lot that doesn’t have proper drainage, and that the large parking lot mostly remains unused because it’s usually only active during airport community events. “The basis for the decision is that these
county-owned 60 acres which comprise the Oceano Airport and campground could be repurposed for greater benefit to the community. Oceano is a small disadvantaged community that lacks many fundamental basic needs such as sidewalks, affordable housing, adequate recreational area, businesses, etc. It also lacks large vacant lots in which to construct and accommodate these needs,” the advisory council’s recommendation to the county stated. “Currently, this airport serves a few privileged individuals with little economic or social benefits to the community at large. Repurposing this airport area would provide 60 acres to help construct affordable housing, businesses, and recreational areas our community needs. It is these facts that led the majority of the council to deny this project in its entirety.” Another concern that stuck out to the majority of the council is a lack of ADAcompliant facilities at the campground. On May 12, Villa toured the campground with some other advisory council members, and said she found the space to be cramped and in need of improvement. “It does need to be updated. The bathrooms are not ADA-compliant; they look like they’re 30 to 40 years old. I didn’t see any ramps or bars. The parking lot needs to be redone,” she said. Advisory council member at-large April Dury echoed Villa’s comments at the meeting. Dury, along with council members Villa and Charles Varni, voted to recommend against the campground renovation. Dury spoke to the handful of private pilots who attended the meeting in support of campground renovation. “You fly places … you get to write it off as a tax deduction. I get no benefit whatsoever from this airport,” Dury said at the meeting. “You guys have a vested interest when it comes to this local airport that us community members don’t get a benefit from … Oceano’s land poor, but clearly, you guys have demonstrated that we’re private plane-rich.” Advisory council member Bonnie Ernst who voted in favor of campground renovation said that the proposed budget of the restoration project is $1.8 million, which some of the other council members found too expensive. Though Ernst wants the campground to be renovated, she suggested some expansions as well. “I walk past there a lot and I just do not see the usage of it. I’m wondering if there’s any way to design the fencing so that the public can come in and be a part of it, especially for bicyclists?” she said at the meeting. Villa said she wants to see “a little bit of everything,” if the airport was repurposed. She added that Oceano is in need of a recreational area, and the open space from the airport could result in a soccer field, barbecue zones, and regular campsites. The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors has the final say in campground renovation, and subsequently, the future of the airport. “I’m pretty sure it’s going to pass anyway because in reality Lynn Compton, who is still our supervisor, has been a strong supporter of the airport,” Villa said. “The supervisors are not supposed to be political but they are, so they’re probably gonna go ahead with it.” —Bulbul Rajagopal

Wizard and Addis emerge as front runners for Assembly
Two Democratic candidates are going head-to-head in the race for the newly formed 30th Assembly District that would put one of them on the general election ballot this November. While the Democratic Party served up four hopefuls for the June primary, Morro Bay City Councilmember Dawn Addis and Monterey County’s Jon Wizard—a Seaside City Councilmember—emerged as the frontrunners. Both are focused on environmentalism, health care, and housing issues. “All of us in these positions of elected representation experience challenges within our communities,” Wizard told New Times. “That’s why you see a lot of similarity among people’s platforms. But what are [we] going to do about it? Some of us have policy positions, some of us have talking points.” Wizard serves on a slew of housing policy bodies in Monterey County. He is the commissioner for its Housing Authority, a board member for the county Housing Authority Development Corporation, and a committee member for the Housing Advisory Committee. “The level of detail that I’m fluent in— not just conversant in—is housing, the No. 1 issue in California,” he said. “It’s by far, at a different level from any of the other candidates in this race put together, because it’s what I do professionally.” If he wins the Assembly seat, Wizard plans to tackle housing laws first along with pursuing more funding for Project Homekey to address homelessness. His proudest endorsement, he said, came from Assembly member Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland), the chair of the Committee on Housing and Community Development. “Buffy Wicks is [also] a champion for reproductive rights, who has previously stood on the floor of the Assembly breastfeeding her baby because there was not an ability to vote by proxy or participate virtually during the height of the pandemic,” Wizard said. “As a man, she still chose to endorse me because she knows I’m the right person for the job.” Addis, too, prioritizes reproductive rights in her campaign, and her list of causes includes defending Roe v. Wade. In line with her role as a board member on the Planned Parenthood Central Coast Action Fund, Addis attended the rally for safe abortion access in front of the San Luis Obispo Superior Court. Notably, Addis holds the title of the only candidate in the 30th Assembly District race who is endorsed by the Democratic Party. Party chairs from SLO, Monterey, and Santa Cruz counties, which encompass the new district, support her. SLO Democratic Party Chair Rita Casaverde found the triple endorsement to speak volumes about both Addis and Wizard. “Jon Wizard didn’t even get the endorsement from his own county party. That was actually why I endorsed Dawn, not just because I know her but I don’t know Jon Wizard. I don’t think he has done anything in the county yet to say that we know him,” Casaverde said. Wizard said he’s unfazed. “I’ve done a lot of tours, I’ve called a lot of voters … . We’re running a real campaign. We’re not just sending mail to people and posting online. When I talk to voters, nobody asks me, did the Professional Engineers of California [hypothetically] endorse you? Nobody asks me such a question. Every single time, the
questions are: ‘What are your thoughts on climate change … on reproductive rights … on housing?’” he said. While Wizard identified housing as his main priority, Addis told New Times that she would focus on multiple issues. They include addressing ocean acidification, increasing green energy production, increasing mental health care, lowering the costs of college, and multiplying employment opportunities. But the sheer physical size of the 30th District could make it hard for candidates to get in front of voters. Although it could be a challenge to hit the communities across three counties, Addis is trying to appeal to what she calls the “best district” in California. “In 2020 I earned the most votes of any Democrat ever and built a vast grassroots network of support across San Luis Obispo County when I ran for the old Assembly District 35,” Addis said in a written statement. “Now I am building on that momentum and getting to know new voters. Our message resonates with people because I have the background, experience, and effectiveness they are looking for in a representative.” Wizard has a background in law enforcement and worked as a police officer, a deputy sheriff, a firefighter, and a 911 dispatcher. He told New Times it hasn’t affected his campaign, and that voters have “moved on” from policing to other issues like climate change and the ongoing drought. “Almost all people want to talk to me about that. Not many folks are worried about local policing issues when I’m running for state Assembly,” he said. —Bulbul Rajagopal
Paso school board rejects grad cap decoration proposal
The Paso Robles school board shot down a student petition requesting that Bearcat graduates be able to decorate their caps, despite a proposal from one board member to give the idea a one-year trial run. Zelbert Armer, a Paso Robles High School (PRHS) senior, first brought his “Caps 4 Cats Proposal” to the board earlier this month. PRHS Principal Anthony Overton had already said no to Armer’s idea, and Superintendent Curt Dubost expressed his support for Overton’s decision, but the board decided to discuss the issue further at its May 10 meeting. Armer, who gathered 700 signatures in support of his idea, said reasons to decorate one’s cap include celebrating the college you’re heading to or other post-high school plans, showing gratitude for your family’s support, honoring a loved one who passed, expressing one’s personal beliefs, or offering an appropriate quote for the occasion. “The caps and the whole graduation ceremony is for … our families to respect and love and to cherish, and I feel like this is a very memorable thing for us to watch as we go on,” Armer said at the May 10 meeting. “I feel like you should also be able to represent your university or college you’re going to, and also you can represent Paso Robles High School, the place that you grew up from.” But Overton and Dubost both felt that grad cap decorations would take away from the formality and tradition of the event. “I believe that the belonging to the community of Bearcats, that is so important to our town, warrants the recognition of an unaltered cap and gown as that symbolic representation during the ceremony,” Overton told the board. ∆ —Malea Martin

Space to transition For some transgender people, the pandemic created unexpected safe places to find their truest selves
W
hen Jackie Martin looks back on her childhood, she remembers feeling like something was off—like the puzzle pieces of her identity weren’t quite fitting together. “There were definitely times when I was a really little kid where I had the feelings but not the words for it,” Martin said. “I was starting to piece things together, and I came to somewhat of a semi-clear realization in early senior year [of high school].” Martin graduated high school in 2019 and headed to college. After just one semester, the pandemic hit and like many young adults, she found herself back in her childhood bedroom. That’s when Martin accepted what she couldn’t deny any longer: She’s transgender. Today, she is out as a trans woman— she also happens to be my younger sister and one of my best friends. She told me about how the pandemic turned her “semi-clear realization” into an unequivocal one. “It was late March [2020] at 3 in the morning, and I went online and took an ‘Am I Trans?’ quiz,” Martin remembered with a laugh. “I told myself, I’ve got to be honest in answering these. Every question I was hitting ‘strongly agree’—and I started to realize, ‘Oh my God, this is real.’” Martin didn’t need an online quiz to know she was trans. In a way, she had always known. But she said hearing it from a neutral voice that wasn’t her own was the validation she needed to finally accept who she is. If it weren’t for the pandemic, she thinks it would have taken her a lot longer to come to that place of self-acceptance.

“Because I was just kind of in my room alone, I really had to face myself,” Martin said. “I didn’t have much else to do but look in my mirror, and that’s when I really started feeling the dysphoria.” Dysphoria is feeling misaligned between who you are and your assigned body, Martin said. It feels like “your soul is wearing its shoes on the wrong feet, combined with the external pressures of the world seeing you fundamentally as something you’re not.” She described it as crushingly painful. “It was definitely there in my earlier years, but it just exponentially ramped up during the pandemic because I was just forced to be with myself at the time when my body was starting to really change in the way I definitely did not want it to,” Martin said. Martin isn’t alone in her pandemicinduced coming out: According to Jamie Woolf, chair of Tranz Central Coast, a flood of calls came into her organization after 2020. “After about a year of the pandemic, we started getting a lot of contacts from parents saying, ‘My child just came out as trans, or nonbinary, or somewhere in the gender-variant world,’” Woolf said. “It was surprising how many we got, and we had the sense that maybe it was these kids sitting home, just reading the internet without a lot else to do. They were finally having these hard discussions.” While the isolation of the pandemic was challenging for everyone, including the trans community, Woolf said it also allowed some folks to start coming out without having to think about what others might say. “They didn’t know how their friends would deal with it in school, how their parents would deal with it,” Woolf said. “Finally being stuck at home where their friends aren’t really seeing them, they finally start to come out. It seemed like one of the unexpected bright parts of this pandemic.” For Martin, spending time alone wasn’t the only pandemic-borne change to daily life that accelerated her coming-out journey.
VISIBILITY MATTERS Allie Rae Hampton, a community activist and facilitator for the Gala Pride and Diversity Center, led a Trans Day of Visibility walk through Downtown SLO earlier this year.
“In the early stages of the pandemic, I remember thinking it’s great we’re all wearing masks, because it made me feel like I could go out in public when my dysphoria was at its worst,” Martin said. “It was a great way to feel good enough to go out in public even if I wasn’t fully passing yet.” Passing means that people perceive you as the gender you identify with. For most cisgender people—those who identify with the gender they were assigned at birth— passing isn’t something you think twice about. It’s a given that most cisgender people pass. But for Martin and a lot of trans people, passing is monumentally affirming, a feeling of pure euphoria. “The first time I did pass was when I was wearing a mask,” Martin remembers. “I was walking into Target, and there was one of those people trying to get an amendment passed or whatever. She was like, ‘Excuse me, ma’am, are you a California voter?’ It was a wild feeling. My adrenaline was pumping but in a good way. For the rest of the day I was smiling.” The shift to virtual spaces also proved to be a helpful tool to bring the trans community together. Allie Rae Hampton, a community activist and facilitator for the Gala Pride and Diversity Center, started a Facebook social group for the local trans community during the pandemic. The group is private and by invitation only, making it a safe place for

trans people who might not be out to their friends or family yet. Hampton started hosting weekly Zoom peer support groups. “I learned that it was really possible for a lot more people to show up and be virtually with their peers instead of coming to an in-person event,” Hampton said. “I feel like more people have found that it’s safe to come out. I don’t think the actual quantity of [trans] people has changed, but I do know that someone who’s closeted can actually join a Zoom group and it’s safe, and you don’t even have to turn your video on if you don’t want to.” Martin said transitioning during the pandemic wasn’t always easy—social isolation and COVID-19 anxiety were hard on her just like everyone else. “But I think it got me to realize I was trans a lot sooner than I would have otherwise,” she said. “It made the early stages of transitioning easier because I didn’t have to constantly deal with ridicule in the workplace, ridicule from peers, ridicule from school. Those are struggles I was able to take on a year into transitioning, and by then I was more prepared for it. “It wasn’t just all the struggles, all at once.” ∆ Reach Staff Writer Malea Martin at mmartin@newtimesslo.com.

Elaina Cano E T VO for SLO County Clerk-Recorder
Experience and Integrity for SLO County Elections I had the privilege of working with Elaina Cano as our City Clerk while serving on the San Luis Obispo City Council. I can state unequivocally that Elaina Cano is fully qualified for the job. More importantly, she is thoroughly committed to serving in this critical non-partisan role with the high level integrity and transparency demanded by our democracy.
At a time when so many voters on all sides of our political spectrum are legitimately concerned about the many challenges confronting our system of elections, Elaina Cano can be trusted to use her position in a manner that restores our faith in open and fair elections. She has already earned the praise of those who saw her work in preparing for the gubernatorial recall election in September 2021. I urge every voter in San Luis Obispo County to support the continuing service of our incumbent County Clerk-Recorder, Elaina Cano. -John Ashbaugh, Former City Council Member Ad paid for by Elaina Cano for Clerk-Recorder 2022 FPPC # 1443521 www.newtimesslo.com • May 19 - May 26, 2022 • New Times • 9

Pridefest remix SLO Pride is back in-person after two years, and organizers talk new developments
S
an Luis Obispo-based drag queen Nala Diamond is ready to strut on the big stage again. So much so that Diamond, who uses nonbinary pronouns, will be packing no less than 30 outfits for the upcoming SLO Pridefest. “Working at drag shows, we do face a lot of challenges. From having the cops called on us almost every single show, to just trying to push as much visibility for every facet of the LGBT community,” they said. “Even more so during COVID, because for a while, it was taken back. At one point, we were almost gone, at least with the drag side here.” Diamond hails from Florida and said they’re well aware of the discrimination drag queens face in the South and even here on the Central Coast. “From the time I have been out here on the Central Coast, Gala has been a huge part in helping keep that visibility going, and fighting a lot of the discrimination,” Diamond said. LGBTQ-plus visibility is set to be reflected all the more at Pridefest under the Gala Pride and Diversity Center’s watchful eye. While SLO has been celebrating Pride with Gala since 1997 at Mission Plaza, the weekend-long festival starting May 20 will make its first appearance at Laguna Lake Park. It’ll also be the first outdoor Pride after two years of virtual celebrations. Diamond won’t be performing alone. Roughly 10 drag queens will perform over the weekend, starting with the Host of the Coast program. Other events include a silent disco teen lounge, bilingual story time, and arts and crafts activities. “For a while, the performers out here were dwindling. We had a lot of queens move away; we had one very special queen pass away during COVID in 2020. The numbers are just starting to pick back up and grow. My partner, who works with a lot of LGBT youth, will actually be doing
the drag queen story time with kids in English and Spanish,” Diamond said. Juicy CW is another drag queen ready to sashay at Pridefest. She credited the slow resurgence of performances to the queens’ steady promotion of their art at smaller shows in Central Coast cafes and bars. “I’d like to think that we’re very encouraging of working with newer queens, really trying to get their heel stepped in the right direction. Drag is tough and painful, but it’s very expressive and beautiful. To help other people experience that is something I treasure,” Juicy said. Juicy does have a major trick up her sleeve to help both rookies and seasoned queens enjoy their performances: dress designing. She’ll be bringing almost 16 outfits to Pridefest, and told New Times on May 2 that she had made four new ones the previous week alone. Setting up Pridefest itself takes an extensive network of helping hands. The Shabang Live Music and Arts Festival, held May 13 an 14 also at Laguna Lake, shared a portion of its infrastructure,

according to Lynn Schmidt, the Gala art curator and Pride chair. “That has given us a leg up. We’ll actually be a music festival: We have the main stage and the DJ sound stage, a drag show that’s all ages on Friday night,” Schmidt said. The DJ sound stage is another facility that came about through community support. Hosted by a DJ collective called Soul Dust, the soundstage hopes to keep the crowd energized by eliminating dead time when waiting for the next event. “When I moved up here, I noticed they had a single stage with a band, and they PRIDE FOR ALL Nala Diamond will be one of the handful didn’t do anything of drag queens performing at the all-ages Host of the Coast between the band.

Modernizing the fleet D uring the doldrums of the pandemic, the Central Coast Dragon Boating Association traded team practice for team fundraising. Its regular morning rides on Morro Bay were put on hold indefinitely when COVID-19 struck, so the local nonprofit best known for its successful team of cancer-survivors, called the SurviveOars, shifted its focus instead to the future. “We all missed it so much,” association board member Sandy Mitchell told New Times. “But as it turned out, we really concentrated our energies on getting ready for when we could reopen.

“We think this event will be a good way to raise awareness and let people know that they can come and do this sport,” Mitchell said. “I think because the organization started as a cancer survivor team, people still think of us that way. “And we do have a cancer survivor team, and it’s an important part of what we do,” she continued. “But we’re really trying to open up dragon boating to the entire community.” Residents interested in trying out dragon boating can pre-register for one of the association’s regular practices on its website, ccdba.org, free of charge. After the first free practice, guest paddlers are asked to pay $10 for the next two rides. The Central Coast Dragon Boating Association and its teams are internationally successful—having won gold medals at competitions from Long Beach to Hungary. But Mitchell emphasized that at its core the organization isn’t about competing. Practices are open to paddlers of all ages, genders, strengths, and skill levels, and its mission is to promote health and community. “The great thing about dragon boating is you are on a boat with 20 people and you are all doing the same thing at the same time. It’s not like any other sport. It’s really a feeling of unity and teamwork,” Mitchell said. The association’s two new boats will replace the team’s original boat, Joanna’s Joy, which was named after a former SurviveOar member who’d donated the boat and passed away from cancer. Similarly, one of the nonprofit’s new boats will be called Rosana’s Ride, a tribute to Rosana Ortiz, the late member who made a critical donation that helped the association buy a second new boat. “We had [raised] enough for about 1.5 boats, but when you have two boats that are the same, it’s a lot easier to practice racing,” Mitchell said. “Ortiz was going through some serious cancer at the time and she said, ‘How much more do you need?’ We told her, and her and her family came up with the rest of the money.” Thanks to Ortiz, the association now has a revamped fleet, with plenty of capacity to introduce more members of the Central MUSIC to dragon boating.

boats, and we did everything we could to be ready to reopen again.” Thanks to all that hard work—and one extraordinary donation from a team member who passed away from cancer this March—the association raised enough money to purchase two new 40-foot dragon boats, which they are unveiling at a public “dragon awakening” ceremony on May 28 at 10 a.m. in Tidelands Park. “It involves a ceremony where you paint the eyes of the dragon so you wake it up.

Sort of like a classic “first and third world” relationship, tax monies flow to the county from Oceano but they don’t flow back at the same rate.

Two reasons to vote no, again, on Oceano’s fire tax
T
he Oceano Community Services District (OCSD) has placed a tax measure on the ballot to raise $410,000 annually to fund full-time emergency medical and fire services in Oceano. It should be defeated. Why? It’s unfair and unneeded. It is unfair because it taxes every parcel of land a flat rate of $180. If you have a 1,000-square-foot house you pay the same as someone with a 2,000-square-foot home or a 10,000-square-foot apartment complex or a 50-unit mobile home park. Two years ago OCSD floated this very same tax measure and it was defeated by a narrow margin, primarily because a critical mass of citizens thought it was unfair. Now, two years later, they have returned with the very same proposal expecting a different outcome (one definition of insanity). But this time they took $40,000 of taxpayer money to hire a consultant to develop a progressive tax option, one where the more developed your property is the more you pay in fire tax. The tax rate was pegged at 14 cents a square foot. It’s very straightforward. A 1,000-square-foot home would pay $140 annually; a 2,000-square-foot home would pay $280 annually; a 10,000-square-foot apartment complex would pay $1,040. With this report in hand, they compared the two options—

No matter how many solar panels and wind turbines cover the land, the power produced when these two sources are not available could not come close to supplying the amount of energy needed. With that said, where will the extra source of power come from? The two most reliable sources would be fossil fuels and nuclear. One creates a sizable amount of emissions; the other creates no emissions. We need clean reliable power 24/7, which Diablo Canyon Power Plant has provided for many years. No one has ever died due to exposure to used fuel. The uranium 235 dioxide fuel is only about 5 percent enriched. The fuel is needed to sustain a temperature of about 600 degrees Fahrenheit to produce enough heat to create the steam to spin the turbines to produce the electricity. When the enrichment of the fuel diminishes, new fuel needs to replace about a third of the fuel every 18 months. During the refueling, the entire unit goes through a maintenance check. Fuel removed from the reactor goes directly to the fuel handling building through a canal filled with purified water and placed in 40 feet of purified, borated water. Water, concrete, and lead are all excellent shielding to radiation, as are time and distance. There has been a 2 1/2 year feasibility study completed at Diablo Canyon to ensure the plant is capable of producing clean, safe, sustainable power for many years to come. I know because I was there. The radiation is created by splitting the atoms in the form of many fission fragments, each of which has a different halflife to become stable. Some start with just seconds, minutes, hours, days, and so on. In 10 years, 90 percent of the fission fragments (radioactive isotopes) have become stable. The slower decaying isotopes are much less intense. The used fuel is securely stored under strict guidelines and regulations. Closing Diablo Canyon will create a huge loss to the ever-growing demand for power and put us in a form of power poverty. Also it will be a great loss to our local economy and to the many employees who will lose their jobs and businesses who may be forced to close. Too many times for too many years people have just believed false information about Diablo Canyon. Then those lies are repeated without being researched for the truth. Ellie Ripley Arroyo Grande

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.

Memo to Dawn OrtizLegg: No more Adam Hill-style corruption In a speech accepting the governor’s appointment to replace now-disgraced former San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Adam Hill after his death, Dawn Ortiz-Legg said she wanted to carry on his legacy. Then she began her campaign to name a park after Hill. Hill and she were close personal friends. He made her his planning commissioner and she voted to approve Helios Dayspring’s River Road cannabis project. Ortiz-Legg continued her support of Hill and cannabis even after the FBI raided the county building, Hill’s home, and several politicians and businessmen he was affiliated with. Dayspring later pleaded guilty to bribing Hill for votes under an agreement he would help the feds with their ongoing SLO County corruption investigation, which appears to be a nonissue for Ortiz-Legg who wants to lower requirements and oversight of cannabis. I believe cleaning up county corruption should be the Board of Supervisors’ top priority. And that those who are not paying bribes should be able to get a permit to build a shed in less than two years. Jeannette Watson Arroyo Grande

The Shredder
Charter nonstarter “ I … got spanked.” Those are not words you would expect to hear during a SLO County Board of Supervisors meeting, much less from a sitting county supervisor—and yet they flowed forth from 1st District Supervisor John Peschong’s mouth during the May 17 board meeting. My question is: Did he like it? And my guess is, probably not. The response to Peschong’s casual suggestion last year that SLO County should change its governance structure from general law (following state rules for county governance) to a charter—simply so that neither the governor nor the board can appoint people to fulfill elected positions when the sitting official either resigns from their position or dies—was overwhelmingly not what he wanted to hear. Both from the general public, which didn’t like his idea, and county staff, who said the board couldn’t insert “safeguards” into charter language that would make it more difficult for future boards to amend the charter. Doing that would violate the California Constitution. “I will not be supporting this today,” Peschong said on May 17, when the board was discussing whether or not to put the charter thing on the November ballot. Phew! So laws really do work! Peschong can’t just do whatever he wants to this county or limit the ability of future boards to govern as this current board governs.
After the redistricting debacle, I was really beginning to wonder. “At the end of the day, it’s not a good idea,” he said. I feel like maybe the guy should have done his research before he proposed the bad idea—it would have saved us a tremendous amount of time and sowed less angst in an already angsty time. But, you know, Orange County did it! So it’s got to be a good idea, right? Wrong. Just because conservative Orange County did it, doesn’t mean not-reallyconservative-but-conservative-owned SLO County has to do it. Maybe, in the end, this whole issue brought everyone closer together, because all five supervisors voted against the charter idea. Just kidding! Your friendly neighborhood liberal 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson just had to get jabs in there about the redistricting process—because what kind of a politician loses out on the opportunity to grandstand in front of the public. “My support for the charter county concept had always been completely contingent on it including an independent redistricting commission,” he said. “The thought of electing the vacancies is a democratic one, and the cost is the cost. But if those districts that those elections are conducted in aren’t fairly drawn, then that isn’t a good idea.” Santa Barbara County seemed to be able to create an independent redistricting commission without
becoming a charter county, so why can’t SLO County figure it out? Because everyone hates each other. Maybe looking at the hullabaloo over Oceano’s airport will shed some light on the political situation in this county—which is hyperpartisan and adversarial, to say the least! The county-run airport is an apparent lighting rod in South County. Or maybe it’s not. Is it just me, or is it always the same people making a big stink about things? Charles Varni, Allene Villa, and April Dury can’t resist getting their jabs in against 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton when they can. These three members of one of Oceano’s two advisory councils are adamantly opposed to both Compton and the proposed campground renovations at the Oceano airport. “I’m pretty sure it’s going to pass anyway because in reality Lynn Compton, who is still our supervisor, has been a strong supporter of the airport,” Villa said. “The supervisors are not supposed to be political but they are, so they’re probably gonna go ahead with it.” Sick burn! The supervisors are political. But what exactly is political about an airport campground? Also: There’s a campground at the Oceano airport? Who knew? But, that, I guess, is exactly the three musketeers’ point. A renovated campground wouldn’t benefit the community at all, they claim,
adding that the airport itself is actually detrimental to Oceano, taking up valuable space that the community could use for other things. Dury, who has a penchant for the dramatic, shamed the pilots who showed up to the advisory council meeting to advocate for renovated campgrounds. “You fly places … you get to write it off as a tax deduction. I get no benefit whatsoever from this airport,” Dury told them. “Oceano’s land poor, but clearly, you guys have demonstrated that we’re private plane rich.” OK, first of all, yes, Oceano always gets the short end of the county stick. Second of all, I don’t think the private planes using Oceano’s airport are the rich folks you’d like them to be. People who pay $10 to use a crappy county airport campground to break up their flights aren’t exactly the jet-setting crowd. It’d be like getting angry at truckers and road-trippers who use rest areas to nap on long drives. The advisory council, which was only supposed to discuss the issue at hand (the renovation), decided that it also needed to recommend that the county close the airport entirely—an item that wasn’t on the agenda and isn’t being discussed by the county. Now who’s getting political? Maybe that’s why Oceano has two advisory councils. ∆ The Shredder thinks Oceano needs a third advisory council. Send help to shredder@ newtimesslo.com.

Arts Artifacts SLO Women in Film and Television, Central Coast Film Society co-host mixer to celebrate the Royal Theater
On Sunday, May 22, two local film organizations are teaming up to co-host a special mixer to celebrate the past, present, and future of the historic Royal Theater in Guadalupe. The afternoon event will be held at Guadalupe Cafe, and is co-hosted by SLO Women in Film and Television and the Central Coast Film Society. Guests of the mixer will learn about the upcoming renovation and expansion of the Royal Theater, and the importance of preserving the venue as a tribute to the Japanese American citizens who played a large role in the Guadalupe community’s history. The mixer will include an informative presentation and a tour of the area, according to press materials. One of the goals of the ongoing renovation project is to transform the Royal Theater into an expansive arts hub, with resources related to several kinds of media, for the community. “As a local nonprofit with a mission to celebrate cinema and digital media arts, the Central Coast Film Society is dedicated to raising awareness and community support for projects like the Royal Theater renovation and expansion, especially as an opportunity to enhance the education and extracurricular activities for students with the new Civic Performing Arts Center,” Sarah Risley, president of the Central Coast Film Society, said in press materials. For more info on SLO Women in Television and Film, visit facebook.com/slowift. To find out more about the Central Coast Film Society, visit centralcoastfilmsociety.org. The upcoming mixer takes place on Sunday, May 22, at 1 p.m., at the Guadalupe Cafe, located at 860 Guadalupe St., Guadalupe.

Glen File this one under the rapacious and unnecessary remake category. There’s absolutely nothing about this new version that warrants its existence— and it’s not like the 1984 original had no room for improvement. It was a middling sci-fi thriller based on one of Stephen King’s more mediocre works. What a wasted opportunity! This time around we have Armstrong standing in

he incredible real-life tale of the disappearance and reappearance of Steven Stayner and Timothy White is laid out by those closest to the case— Steven’s family. Steven was just 7 years old when he was abducted and held by child rapist Kenneth Parnell, who changed Steven’s identity and lived under the guise that the young boy was his son. When Steven was 14 years old, Parnell brought home a 5-year-old boy named Timothy White. Knowing the young boy would suffer his same fate, Steven fled with the boy and got them to safety. Returning home wasn’t an easy transition for the teenager. Huge media attention invaded the Stayners’ lives and led to a made-for-TV movie about the ordeal. Adjusting back to what was considered a “normal” life was incredibly difficult not just for Steven himself but also his family. Revelations about the true impact of Steven’s abduction and return rippled out, and tragedy continued to follow the family. Gripping and woefully sad, this documentary may not cheer your mood, but

f you’re looking for an inky-black espionage series that isn’t afraid to expose the corruption of spy work and the human frailty of operatives, Slow Horses is the series for you. It follows a team of disgraced MI5 agents who’ve been sent to Slough House, a kind of purgatory for agents deemed too incompetent for top-level spy work. Overseeing the group is Jackson Lamb (a terrific Gary Oldman), a slovenly, obnoxious, and dismissive boss who despite his appearance and behavior is still a clever and capable intelligence officer. His MI5 nemesis is Diana Taverner (the always chic Kristin Scott Thomas), the deputy director-general of MI5 who runs a group of top-notch but immoral agents.

Jones’ soulful rumble, and a willingness to push the boundaries have made this a band to watch.
A
Bastille and Lord Huron
bout a decade ago, the seeds of a contemporary American soul band were sewn in Bloomington, Indiana. Blake Rhein and Aaron Frazer, students at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, were part of the blues rock act Charlie Patton’s War with Kyle Houpt and Justin Hubler, a group that did some regional and national touring. When Rhein and Frazer met Louisiana native Durand Jones, who was doing postgraduate classical saxophone studies, they bonded over a shared love of old 45 rpm soul records and a desire to write songs that resonated with the same ’60s and ’70s vibe. Between fall of 2012 and 2014, they wrote and recorded a series of original songs on a 4-track, and in May 2014, they played what they thought would be a one-off show. Instead, Ohio soul label Colemine Records came calling and asked to release the recordings, some as 45s and then as Durand Jones & The Indications’ selftitled debut album. They played another
“one-off” show in April 2016 before going off on their separate careers. But something unusual happened. They had ignited a flame that wouldn’t go out. Critics and independent record stores selling their debut made clear they were onto something special, and in 2017, the band united and toured. Steve Okonski replaced Hubler on organ, their debut album was reissued by Bloomington label Dead Oceans with new live material added to it, and the band was off and running. Michael Mongomery eventually replaced Houpt, and they’ve been steadily gaining fans ever since. They’re so popular, Durand Jones & The Indications is scheduled to play the Fremont Theater two nights in a row, on Monday, May 23 (8 p.m.; all ages; only $80 signed merchandise bundle tickets remain available at seetickets.us) and Tuesday, May 24 (8 p.m.; all ages; $30 to $80 at seetickets.us) with special guest La Doña opening.

aso Robles-based event producer Morgen Hoffman is gearing up for her second season of “one-of-a-kind dining experiences” that spotlight local chefs and vintners, as well as venues “that are unique, off the beaten path, and represent the Central Coast as a destination,” she said. “I look for locations that aren’t normally accessible to the public for a seated dinner, thereby creating a very unique experience for our dinner guests.” New to the Table & Vine Supper Club lineup is its first-ever brunch as well as expansion into Santa Barbara County. Launched in 2021, Hoffman’s culinary offerings run monthly from late spring to October. During the off-season between
November and April, she focuses on her primary business, Morgen Hoffman Events, servicing corporate clients throughout the Los Angeles and Central Coast areas. This year’s supper series will kick off on May 29, with chefs Matteo Rogers and Brittney Yracheta—of Momotaro Ramen and Heirloom fame—teaming up with sparkling powerhouse Rava Wines and Events to produce a gourmet brunch experience at the Rava estate in Paso Robles. The farm-to-table menu will start with passed bites at a welcome reception, followed by a four-course plated meal. “Each course will be paired with the beautiful sparkling wines from Rava,” according to Hoffman. Selected pours include bubbly standouts Lunare, PHOTO BY CHERISH WHYTE grüner veltliner, grenache rosé, brut, and riesling. Rogers and Yracheta will be dishing up smoked brisket hash and seasonal fruit tart to begin, followed by asparagus-shirred eggs, scallop crudo, frittata with spring vegetables and herbs, and shokupan (traditional Japanese milk bread) French toast. The duo’s cooking philosophy focuses “on local ingredients and framing the hard work of our local farmers,” Rogers said. “I think we both lean toward really what is being utilized during its peak season in any style of cuisine.” HUES OF GREEN AND BLUE Rava’s 505acre property in Paso Robles includes a winery, They are also partial to Japanese tasting room, multiple venues for concerts and cuisine, with their most recent weddings, overnight accommodations, and an venture—Momotaro Ramen—a estate vineyard featuring 15 varieties. perfect example.

“The namesake hails from the story of Momotaro, which translates to Peach Boy,” Rogers explained. Rogers’ grandmother read the Japanese folk tale to him as a child, and “it always brought on a feeling of comfort,” he explained. “When choosing the name for the ramen bar it was really important to convey to guests a feeling of comfort, as ramen is a comfort food.” Rogers added that the menu at Momotaro is “executed with kokoro—meaning heart and soul.” Rogers and Yracheta pour their heart and soul into all their endeavors, including Heirloom Catering, which in 2019 transitioned to a brickand-mortar in Templeton called Heirloom Kitchen and Eatery.

Homework: Is there a situation you’re being lazy about? Should you be more discerning? Newsletter.freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The only way to the truth is through blasphemy,” declared Aries author Flannery O’Connor. I appreciate the cheeky sentiment, but I don’t believe that all truth requires blasphemy. In many cases, rebellion, irreverence, and skepticism may be enough to pry loose hidden and buried information. Outright blasphemy isn’t necessary. What does this have to do with you? Well, I’m hoping you will be feisty and audacious in your quest for interesting truths. As you dig, I invite you to be less than perfectly polite. Don’t be rude or unkind, of course. Just be charmingly bold.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me,” declares comedian Margaret Cho. I would love for you to summon her level of self-esteem and bravado in the coming weeks. According to my interpretation of the astrological omens, you now have the right and duty to boost your self-worth. All of creation is conspiring with you to develop more faith in yourself. And if you do the work to deepen your confidence and self-esteem, there will be an added bonus: a health breakthrough. As spiritual author Caroline Myss says, “Belief in oneself is required for healing.” My prediction: You will rouse an enhanced power to get the soul medicine you need.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to the blogger Artemisiasea, “The grandeur of life is the attempt, not the solution. It’s about behaving as beautifully as one can under completely impossible circumstances; making room for what breathes in the presence of the attempt—in the coming-to-be.” I invite you to embrace that wisdom in the coming weeks, Gemini. You won’t be dealing with impossible circumstances, but you may have to navigate your way through fascinating brainteasers and heart riddles. Whatever your destination might turn out to be, enjoy the ride with all the verve you can summon. At least for now, put aside your longing for particular results and instead simply live your life as if it were a magnificent work of art.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): It will be in your interest to change more than usual in the coming weeks. I suppose you could wait around passively and scramble to adjust as life flings challenges your way. But the better approach would be to make conscious decisions about how you want to transform. Identify the situations that would most benefit from modification and then initiate the transitions. Rather than depending on fate to provide you with random wake-up calls, choose constructive wake-up calls that are fun and invigorating.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “If everyone likes you, it probably means you aren’t saying much,” declared politician Donna Brazile. I suspect you will disprove her theory in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will have a lot to say; your communications will be even more interesting than usual. And yet, I also expect you will receive extra respect and appreciation from others. While you may articulate ideas that are challenging to some, you will do so with enough charisma to disarm agitated reactions. A winning combination: expressiveness and approval.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Have you heard of Virgo adventurer Reinhold Messner? The man is a marvel, and not just because he’s a passionate environmental activist. He was the first mountaineer to reach the top of Mt. Everest alone, as well as the first to ascend Everest without supplemental oxygen. No one before him had ever climbed all 14 of the world’s peaks higher than 26,000 feet. He has transited Greenland and Antarctica without the aid of dog sleds or snowmobiles. He also completed a solo trip across the Gobi Desert. I propose we make Messner your inspirational role model for the next four weeks. You may not achieve historymaking triumphs like him, but you could surpass what you assumed were your limits. I trust that you will break at least one of your personal records.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The world is a very puzzling place. If you’re not willing to be puzzled, you just become a replica of someone else’s mind.” Author Noam Chomsky said that. It’s useful counsel for you right now. I’ll go even further. I will advise you to relish the healthy pleasures of being both mysterious and mystified. Seek out fertile enigmas and be a fertile enigma yourself. Explore the rejuvenating wisdom of being indefinable and uncategorizable. Exult in the quizzical joys of Eternal Paradox.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Have you ever contemplated the beauty of the people and animals you care for and thought, “I would love to give them the strongest blessings I have to give, the smartest love I can express, and the best listening I’m able to provide.” If so, Scorpio, the coming days will be an excellent time to do that. You will have an extra capacity to offer exceptional gifts that are useful and inspirational. You will be at the peak of your ability to home in on what your beloveds need.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian author Madeleine L’Engle told us, “The discoveries don’t come when you’re looking for them. They come when for some reason you’ve let go conscious control.” That approach isn’t absolutely true, but it may be useful for you to deploy in the coming weeks. I invite you to relinquish at least a modicum of your conscious control. And if zesty discoveries start flowing in, consider relinquishing even a bit more conscious control.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Is it a legend or a true story? Scholars disagree about whether Capricorn scientist Isaac Newton really was spurred to formulate the theory of gravity when an apple fell from the tree he was sitting beneath. This much is certain: Newton lived in the home near the famous apple tree. And that tree is alive today, 380 years after his birth. Ripe apples still fall from it. Is there an equivalent landmark or keystone from your own past, Capricorn—where an important insight arose or pivotal event happened? The coming weeks would be a good time to revisit that power spot, at least in your imagination, in quest of fresh inspiration.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian poet Jack Gilbert devoted himself to soulful beauty. I swooned when I first read his line, “We must unlearn the constellations to see the stars.” I cried for joy when he said, “We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world.” On the other hand, I suspect Jack may have been overly consumed with his pursuit of lyrical moments. His girlfriend, Linda Gregg, said, “All Jack ever wanted to know was that he was awake—that the trees in bloom were almond trees—and to walk down the road to get breakfast. He never cared if he was poor or had to sleep on a park bench.” I bring this up, dear Aquarius, hoping you will avoid Gilbert’s lack of attention to practical matters. In the coming weeks, I invite you to be your extravagant, idiosyncratic, interesting self to the max. But also be sure to eat healthy food, engage in pleasurable exercise, and get plenty of rejuvenating sleep— preferably in a comfortable bed rather than on a park bench.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Uberfacts Twitter account informs me that if you were to consume the amount of food equivalent to what a hummingbird eats, you would eat 300 hamburgers or 7,800 cabbages per day. To match the amount of exercise a hummingbird gets while burning all those calories, you’d have to do approximately 37 bazillion jumping jacks. You will never do this, of course. But in the coming weeks, you may be more metaphorically hungry than usual. I predict you will be voracious for new information and novel experiences and fresh ideas. Not 300 hamburgers or 7,800 cabbages’ worth— but still, a lot. My advice: Have fun being insatiably curious and greedy for stimulation. ∆
