Editor’s note

elgrass had nearly disappeared from Morro Bay as of 2017, changing the bay’s habitat. A recently released Cal Poly study showed that fish populations in Morro Bay changed, with an increase in fish that thrive in muddier conditions UNDERSEA MEADOW Hailey and a decrease in species that Whitehead love living in the grass. As efforts with Tenera Environmental to bring the sea grass back start Inc. plants to pay off, researchers hope to eelgrass in Morro Bay as part of continue their work. Staff Writer a project with Kasey Bubnash speaks about it the Morro Bay National Estuary with researchers and the Morro Program. Bay National Estuary Program this week [10]. Also in this issue, read about SLO County’s $18 million grant for the Bob Jones Trail and the potential hiccups ahead [8] ; a pastel demonstration at Park Street Gallery [26] ; and a vegan take on ice cream [30].

SLO County redistricting hearing focuses on SLO, Cal Poly, Oceano, and citizen oversight

an Luis Obispo County held its first public redistricting hearing on July 20—with residents criticizing the Board of Supervisors for retaining authority over its next electoral map, while focusing input on the communities of SLO, Cal Poly, and Oceano. “There really should be a citizens redistricting task force,” said Michael Latner, a Cal Poly political science professor and local resident, during public comment. “It is rather absurd in the 21st century that you’re still choosing your voters.” Redistricting takes place once a decade and involves adjusting federal, state, and local electoral maps based on changes in population. Earlier this year, the SLO County Board of Supervisors opted not to form an independent citizen commission to redraw its five supervisorial districts. Instead, SLO County is working with Sacramento-based consultant Redistricting Partners on the task, with county supervisors keeping the final vote on the maps. Paul Mitchell, owner of Redistricting Partners, outlined the steps ahead for SLO County and gave an overall presentation about redistricting at the July 20 meeting. Mitchell’s presentation focused on the legal principles of redistricting: that districts must be of relatively equal population sizes, be compact and contiguous, maintain “communities of interest,” and respect city and community boundaries. Redistricting also must not favor incumbents or candidates, or advantage or disadvantage a political party. About 30 local citizens submitted written or verbal comments at the hearing, including elected city officials like SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon and Atascadero City Councilmember Susan Funk. Harmon touched on one of the most contentious subjects related to county redistricting: how many districts the city of SLO should have. The mayor argued for maintaining the status quo of splitting SLO into three supervisorial districts— which she said gives it the right amount of representation at the county. “Our central place in the county is appropriately

Pismo Beach City Council member sues Atascadero over rejected project proposal

A Pismo Beach City Council member is suing the city of Atascadero and two of its council members over their rejection of a proposed selfstorage project through means that he claims violated city code. On June 25, Scott Newton filed a civil lawsuit in SLO County Superior Court alleging that the city of Atascadero and Atascadero City Council members Heather Newsom and Susan Funk violated his constitutional rights and city code when they rejected his application to build a self-storage facility between Viejo Camino and El Camino Real streets. The City Council, Newton alleges, denied his project despite

DISTRICT DEBATE SLO County’s five supervisorial districts (pictured) are up for debate, as the Board of Supervisors held its first redistricting hearing on July 20.

reflected with the multiple supervisorial districts representing us, which reflects the deep bond we have with the rest of the county and allows for a broader representation throughout the county,” Harmon said. Other commenters argued against that. Some residents of the 5th District wrote that neither SLO nor Cal Poly belonged in the largely North County district, which is currently represented by Pozo resident Debbie Arnold. Arnold made the same argument during her re-election campagin in 2020 and to New Times in recent redistricting coverage. “Our community should absolutely not include the city of SLO or the area of Cal Poly where students can vote on issues that do not affect them,” Atascadero resident Suzie Anderson

wrote in a public comment. “We love our community. Keep it conservative.” Residents of Oceano weighed in to request that the coastal community remain in the 4th District, which includes Nipomo and Arroyo Grande. Incumbent 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton lost the vote in Oceano in the 2018 election—an election that she won by 60 votes. Compton’s seat is up for election again in 2022. The Board of Supervisors’ next redistricting hearing is not until Oct. 26, when officials expect to have 2020 census data in hand. Due to delays in the release of the census, counties will have only about a month to examine data and debate redistricting before final maps must be approved in December. ∆ —Peter Johnson

repeated support from the Atascadero Planning Commission and zoning that allows for selfstorage development in the area. Newton, who was elected to Pismo Beach City Council in November 2020 and owns two other self-storage facilities in Morro Bay and Nipomo, said he decided to fight Atascadero’s decision because he has zero tolerance for “corrupt” politics. “The real problem is how many people get stepped on by government because they can’t afford to do anything about it,” Newton said, estimating that this lawsuit will cost him more than $100,000 in legal fees when all is said and done. In the complaint, Newton alleges that both Newsom and Funk showed bias against his Dove Creek Self-Storage project and acted as judges during council hearings regarding

their own appeals of the project’s approval. They skirted other city rules, too, according to Newton’s complaint, and as a result, he says Atascadero City Council’s denial of the project should be void. Newton, according to the complaint, first met with the city regarding the Dove Creek SelfStorage project in 2018. The project initially included 81,000 square feet of self-storage in eight buildings and a caretaker’s residence. Although Newton claims in the complaint that his proposal is on a parcel of land properly zoned for self-storage development, the Atascadero Design Review Committee recommended denial of the project, saying selfstorage wouldn’t be the best use of the land. Still, the Planning Commission approved NEWS continued page 5

different variations of the project twice in 2019, according to the complaint. That decision was appealed by then Atascadero City Council member Roberta Fonzi, who had previously served on the Design Review Committee and recommended denial there. City Council reversed the Planning Commission’s approval of Newton’s project on Sept. 10, 2019, according to the complaint, and Fonzi refused to recuse herself during the hearing. In January 2020, City Council considered an amendment to the city’s general plan that would have eliminated self-storage as an allowed use in the “P” Zone, where Newton’s project was proposed. When the city did not eliminate self-storage as a use, Newton claims he was encouraged to proceed with his Dove Creek project. After several meetings with city staff throughout 2020, according to the complaint, Newton revised his project proposal to be 32 percent smaller with a smaller footprint, fewer environmental impacts, and no caretaker’s unit. In a close 4-3 vote, the Planning Commission approved the revised project on May 4 of this year. But Councilmember Newsom appealed the decision two days later, stating that she thought the project to be “inconsistent with the character of the immediate neighborhood.” Councilmember Funk also appealed the decision shortly after. Though Newton claims Newsom and Funk filed their appeals as individuals and not on behalf of City Council, the complaint alleges neither were required to pay the appeal fees that other residents would be subjected to. During hearings on the appeals, both Funk and Newsom refused to recuse themselves from voting on the Dove Creek SelfStorage project. “Because of the defendant’s actions,” the complaint reads, “Newton is entitled to a preliminary injunction and writ of mandate compelling defendant city to void the council vote of June 9, 2021, which will allow the Planning Commission decision of May 4, 2021, approving Newton’s project to stand.” Terrie Banish, Atascadero’s deputy city manager, said in an email that the city could not comment on the lawsuit due to pending litigation. —Kasey Bubnash

Junior roller derby experiences harassment at Santa Rosa Park

The SLOCO Junior Derby Devils experienced constant harassment over the last several weeks in the Ken Hampian Roller Rink, effectively closing the rink at Santa Rosa Park for drop-in use until Aug. 9. Devin Hyfield, recreational manager for SLO’s Parks and Recreation Department, said that the recent incidents became a safety concern and such behavior isn’t tolerated. The incidents, some of which were reported to the San Luis Obispo Police Department, occurred when a group of young male skateboarders clashed with the junior derby league participants— aged from 4 to 15 years old—and their coaches.

coach of the junior derby, said the harassment began with juvenile acts but escalated on July 18. It started with skateboarders throwing grapes into the rink while the derby kids were using it. Another incident occurred when the older Derby Devils went to the bathroom—they usually went as a group or in pairs—and the same group of skateboarders offered them drugs, asking them “if they wanted to get high,” Penna said. In both instances she said, the derby board’s human resources representative approached the group or who they believed the adult in the group was and asked them to stop. On another occasion, Penna said, she and other coaches witnessed the same group of skateboarders running around and shocking each other with a Taser— she alerted the police department. On July 18, the Derby Devils were practicing in the rink during the team’s reserved time. Penna said the team doesn’t share the rink with anyone else, even if they’re using only half the rink, because of COVID-19 safety measures. In an effort to prevent people from entering during their allotted time, the derby board created signs that they hang on the rink gate. Penna said, for the most part, people have been understanding. However, that day the group of about 10 skateboarders tried to enter the rink, but the derby coaches and human resources representative told them the rink was reserved and they weren’t allowed in. The group ripped off the derby’s signs and yelled at the human resources representative. “She told them they had to get off the track, and they surrounded her in an attempt to intimidate her, we think. They were yelling at her, calling her the ‘C’ word and the ‘N’ word,” Penna said. The group initially refused to leave the rink, but eventually did and shouted more obscenities aimed at the roller derby youth and coaches, including the word “whore.” The coaches called the police, but when law enforcement arrived the group scattered. Penna said the derby team has historically had great interactions with skateboarders, inline skaters, and others who use the recreational areas. This recent group has been a big problem, but she was proud of the maturity with which even the youngest on the derby team handled the situation. “This is the only time that it’s ever gotten as bad as it did. You know, if you talk to anybody in the roller skating community, especially anybody who would be feminine identifying or appearing, you’re going to hear incidents or problems with harassment,” she said. Hyfield with Parks and Recreation said if someone is witnessing harassment, bullying, or an intrusion on permitted activities, they should call the San Luis Obispo Police Department’s nonemergency line at (805) 781-7312 to file a report. Per an existing city ordinance, Hyfield said skateboarders aren’t allowed in the rink, and this group’s actions have closed the rink to all but permit-use holders until August. Drop-in basketball is also not allowed during this time as well. Parks and Recreation is issuing regular

permit holders a key so they can unlock and lock the facility after their use. The derby board alerted the community to these incidents via a post on Facebook, not to get anyone in trouble, but to call for a safer recreational area for all. “I would hope that if someone sees harassment, if they see bullying at the skate park, I would hope they would step in, stand up, and stop the harassment regardless of who it’s happening to,” Penna said. “Aside from being horrendous and upsetting, it’s an overarching issue with particularly [boys and young adult men].” SLOCO Junior Roller Derby was established in 2013 by Central Coast Roller Derby adult team members. It’s an affirming and welcoming space for youth regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, race, income status, and/ or abilities. The team’s goals aren’t just about creating great athletes, Penna said, it’s also about creating good humans. The Derby Devils participate in an age-appropriate version of Athletes as Leaders, which teaches youth how to address bullying, intimate partner violence, healthy boundaries for relationships, and more. “We want our community to be strong, stand up for each other, and support each other. This space really allows these kids to get to know one another on a level that they might now have a chance to,” she said. —Karen Garcia

Kevin the peacock becomes beloved Nipomo mascot

Before he had a name, he was just a peacock on the loose. Some concerned neighbors thought he might belong to someone. A post would pop up every few months in the Nipomo Neighbors Facebook group: “Did someone lose a peacock?” Now, he’s known as Kevin: by neighbors, by local kids, and even by the California Highway Patrol. It’s unclear whether it’s just one wild peacock making the rounds, or perhaps a few being identified under the same moniker. Either way, Kevin has quickly become a beloved community mascot, and has even sparked some light-hearted controversy. SLO County Animal Services Manager Eric Anderson said his department has received the occasional report of Nipomo peacocks “living in the eucalyptus groves in that area and more out toward the Mesa.” The earliest peacock sighting New Times could scroll back to in the Nipomo Neighbors Facebook group was in May 2019, when the majestic bird with iridescent blue-green feathers was presumed to have escaped from someone’s yard. A few times throughout 2020, similar sightings occurred. It appears it wasn’t until 2021 that folks stopped looking for its owner, and started giving the bird a name. On Feb. 24, a Facebook user named Trish Hennessy Hall asked, “Anyone missing a peacock? On Martha Lane right now.” A commenter suggested that “his name is Peter peacock.” A month or so later, user Julie Edgar Garcia declared, “I say we name Peacock as Nipomo Neighbors official bird.” Nipomo resident Matt Wolfe first saw

6 • New Times • July 22 - July 29, 2021 • www.newtimesslo.com

Kevin on March 2. “He’s very social, just came right up to us. I was washing my bike, looking in the opposite direction and my 13-year-old son was wide-eyed and pointing. I turned to see this massive peacock,” Wolfe wrote to New Times in a Facebook message. “He didn’t have a name yet at the time. Only a few weeks later I started noticing him showing up on the Nipomo Neighbors group.” In an April 8 Facebook comment, Martina Caballero wrote, “I think our peacock is either Kevin or Waldo ... most of us call him Waldo, as in Where’s Waldo.” Another user, Elizabeth Ebner, commented decidedly: “It’s Kevin.” Nipomo resident Michelle Warren DeBilzan told New Times that she and her son, Rider, see Kevin from time to time. He hangs out in their neighborhood near Tejas and Ida Place. But on July 1, one innocent local accidentally sparked some Kevin controversy. June Scheer wrote in Nipomo Neighbors that she had spotted a peacock and, not knowing about Kevin, notified the police of a bird on the loose. The California Highway Patrol incident report, later posted in the comments, names the culprit as “Kevin the peacock.” The comment section went wild. More than 100 comments, ranging from teasing to downright mad, berated Scheer for calling the cops on Kevin. “I honestly want to know how people in Nipomo … especially those on the Nipomo Facebook page, do not know about the peacocks?” wrote user Robert Tolan. “They have been here for dozens of years. I’m just shocked people would still call the cops on an animal in general. It sounds like we need a Kevin Officer. An officer that just follows Kevin around so people do not call the cops.” Quickly realizing her error, Scheer posted again a few minutes later, identifying herself as “the Karen that called the cops on Kevin the peacock.” Scheer added that she was touched to learn that the peacock’s name is Kevin, as she had recently lost a friend named Kevin to COVID-19. Scheer felt her Kevin sighting was a message from her departed loved one. Whether Kevin is just one bird who gets around, or a few wandering the Nipomo area, is hard to say for certain, according to Anderson with animal services. But, he added, peacocks do tend to flock together, so the fact that Kevin is always seen alone means he may indeed be the solo town mascot that locals believe him to be. —Malea Martin

Crop report shows farmers held out through hardships of 2020

San Luis Obispo County’s 2020 crop report is out, and despite all the challenges that year could muster, the data shows that the county’s agricultural industry largely stood strong. At a Board of Supervisors meeting on July 20, Agricultural Commissioner Martin Settevendemie said the overall value of the county’s crops barely budged between 2019 and 2020, falling only slightly by .03 percent to a total value of more than $978 million. “Although the decrease in overall value was minimal, there were impacts that

were created by the COVID pandemic,” Settevendemie said at the meeting, where he presented the latest agricultural statistics. “We had the initial stay-athome order, which impacted production. We had market declines through restaurant closures and other business closures. We had a shift in consumer buying patterns, and we had declines in crop values or crop prices during the single growing season. And like many industries, the ag industry had to really reinvent their traditional marketing strategies to accommodate such a very turbulent time.” Of course, not all kinds of farmers felt the effects of 2020 equally. While the value of SLO County’s animal industry increased by 13 percent between 2019 and 2020, the value of field crops decreased by 16 percent. Settevendemie said he expects to see continuing spikes in the sales of cattle and other animals as ranchers reduce herd sizes to survive the ongoing drought. Wine grape growers had a tough year in 2020, according to Settevendemie, with the value of wine grapes falling by 14 percent compared to 2019, weighing in at a total value of $218 million. “And a couple of factors that influenced this were, No. 1, there was an oversupply in the market,” Settevendemie said. “And also, there were some contractual issues where some buyers were reluctant to buy fruit simply because they were fearful of smoke taint from the wildfires that we experienced in 2020.” As the pandemic subsides and markets return, at least for now, to some semblance of normalcy, Settevendemie said the agricultural world is turning its attention to the drought, which he expects will have significant impacts on SLO County’s crops in years to come. Settevendemie said his department will be providing outreach and information to local farmers on disaster relief programs administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency in coming months. At the meeting, 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold thanked Settevendemie for compiling and presenting the report. “So interesting, and it’ll look so different after this drought lifts, right?” Arnold said. “The hay prices will be up, the cattle numbers will be down. This just is kind of the rolling cycle, but it’s always nice to have this statistics to look at and understand where we’re going and where you’ve come from.” —Kasey Bubnash

Paso Unified keeps current elementary and middle school grades as is

Paso Robles Joint Unified School District discussed the results of its grade-span configuration committee recommendations that could change the grade levels in elementary and middle schools. The resounding preference to keep the grade span as is, staff said, is a sign of wanting stability after the challenges of the pandemic. Grade span configuration refers to the range of grades within a school. Paso’s current model district-wide is transitional kindergarten (TK) through fifth grade in one school and sixth through eighth grade in another. NEWS continued page 7

News NEWS from page 6

The district started talking about what changes to the grade span were possible pre-pandemic and established a committee spearheaded by Curriculum and Instruction Director Erin Haley that included teachers and classified staff and incorporated parent input. The committee had five meetings from April to June 2021 to gather input, research, discuss, and conduct surveys on three options. The options included keeping the current grade-span configuration, changing it to transitional kindergarten through sixth grade for elementary and seventh to eighth grade for middle school, or transitional kindergarten through sixth grade/seventh to eighth grade/TK through eighth grade dual immersion. Ultimately of the 53 committee members—except for 10 members who didn’t want to participate in the survey—nearly 63 percent voted in favor of sticking with the current grade span, while 23 percent voted for option two, and 14 percent voted for option three. Haley said she believes the survey results are a sign of the current state in which teachers, parents, and students find themselves. “If we weren’t coming out of COVID-19 right now, I think this data would be different. We have teachers and staff who are seeking stability and consistency, and what I think this represents,” she said. “They want to catch their breath without something new.” The challenges of the current model include the difficulties that students have transitioning from elementary to middle school. The benefits of option two and three are less crowded middle school sites, specialized after-school programming, and a longer support system for EnglishLearners in the dual immersion transitional kindergarten through eighth grade option. The common downsides to both options are low levels of parent involvement, conflicting lunch scheduling, and one impacted middle school site. More than 320 TK through fifth grade parents were surveyed and 38 percent voted to refrain from change, 33 percent voted for option two, and nearly 30 percent voted for option three. Of 223 sixth through 12th grade parents gave their preference, 48 percent preferred to keep the grade span as is, 30 percent grade span voted for option two, and 21 percent voted for option three. Instead of changing the grade span, staff will support sixth graders with a new program in the fall called Where Everybody Belongs (WEB). Teachers will lead the program and students will be paired with a seventh- or eighth-grader who they can meet up with once a month or more to talk and ask questions. The school board accepted the committee recommendations but did not give staff further direction because they felt the presentation lacked information on how a change in grade span could impact students’ academic performance. ∆ —Karen Garcia

SLO County wins $18.2 million state grant to complete Bob Jones Trail—but right-of-way challenges are ahead

fter winning an $18.2 million transportation grant, San Luis Obispo County and open space advocates are now closer than ever to achieving a dream of completing the Bob Jones Trail—but one county supervisor’s “no” vote at a July 13 meeting foreshadows the challenges still ahead to get the trail to the finish line. Since the early 1990s, the county has planned to connect the city of SLO to Avila Beach, and the recent grant would fully fund finishing the trail’s remaining 4.4 miles. This new stretch will traverse the fringes of 16 parcels of private property next to Highway 101, and county officials say they have verbal agreements from 90 percent of affected property owners to donate or sell easements on their property to accommodate the trail. But over the past two years, one owner has not allowed county contractors to enter his property to do preliminary survey work for the trail. The county says soil-boring tests are necessary on the edge of the 80acre property owned by Ray Bunnell to properly design one of the trail’s bridges over SLO Creek. Bunnell, who leases the property, stated in court documents: “I want to be perfectly clear. I am absolutely not a willing seller or donor.” After being denied entry, the county filed a lawsuit in SLO County Superior Court to try to compel his agreement under eminent domain law. The June 3 lawsuit states that Bunnell’s property is critical to the project and that the survey work must be done in the next few months to stay on track to avoid jeopardizing the $18.2 million grant. Bunnell’s attorney did not respond to New Times’ questions on the case before press time. At the July 13 Board of Supervisors meeting, 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold said she is opposed to using eminent domain for the project. She pointed to a county general plan policy that states that eminent domain “will not

be used for trail establishment.” She then voted against accepting the state grant. “I really believe these are important property rights statements that our citizens in this county depend on,” Arnold said. “To this point, we still have a least one unwilling seller that’s written consistently over many years that it would be unavailable. … I don’t think we should accept the funds until this issue is resolved.” The other four supervisors voted to accept the grant, and now a timeline needs to be followed. To meet the grant’s conditions, the trail must be finished and opened to the public in 2025. “Working back from 2025, this preliminary information needs to be obtained in 2021 so that project plans can be completed, a construction contract awarded, and the project constructed,” the county argued in court documents. A hearing in the eminent domain case is scheduled for Sept. 23. Local officials learned in March that they’d beat out hundreds of competing applications from around the state to win the $18.2 million Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant for the proposed 4.4-mile trail connector. “It’s one of the largest transportation grants the county has ever received,” said Nick Franco, director of SLO County Parks and Recreation. After applying unsuccessfully for years, SLO County received the second highestvalue ATP grant of the 50 projects picked for funding this year by the California Transportation Commission—out of more than 400 applicants. As plans move forward, Franco said that the county has not had a real chance to start right-of-way negotiations with property owners yet. The trail must first get to a 60-percent design point, which it’s close to. Franco said ultimately, eminent domain is a decision that the Board of Supervisors makes. “It’s something the board chooses to do or not to do. That’s not our intention or our plan,” Franco said. “Our plan

is to work with the landowners and get to something that’s good for everybody.” At the board meeting, Arnold wasn’t the only supervisor with reservations. First District Supervisor John Peschong said he also does not support eminent domain, but voted to approve the grant to see how the right-of-way negotiations go. “That’s probably going to be the toughest thing out of this,” Peschong said. Concerns from property owners about the trail include the potential impacts of homeless encampments, fire risks, and trespassing, according to county officials.

A changing habitat As Morro Bay eelgrass restoration efforts continue, Cal Poly study finds correlating changes in fish population

Every drop counts Do your part! • take shorter showers • turn taps off tightly so they don’t drip • repair leaks promptly • only run full loads in the dishwasher, washing machine • install low-flow shower heads and toilets • save flushes where you can • turn off water when washing dishes, brushing teeth, shaving • reuse greywater to water plants • water landscaping when it’s cool outside (morning or evening) to avoid evaporation • use a timer when watering • plant drought-tolerant landscaping that doesn’t need much water

p until 2007, abundant eelgrass growing just off the coast of Morro Bay blanketed the sea floor on the western edge of the estuary and stretched south from the Morro Bay State Park marina to the back bay. Those underwater meadows played an important role in the estuary’s ecosystem, securing sediments with their root systems and providing food, shelter, and nurseries to various fish and invertebrates. But the eelgrass nearly disappeared over the course of the next 10 years, dropping from 344 acres of coverage in 2007 to less than 15 by 2017. Early restoration efforts weren’t nearly as successful as hoped, and researchers like Cal Poly physics professor Ryan Walter worried that the huge losses of seagrass would also lead to fewer fish in the area. A recent Cal Poly study came to another conclusion. “The relatively sudden and near complete collapse of eelgrass in Morro Bay has not only changed fish populations, but it has also resulted in substantial changes to estuary physics and geomorphology,” Walter said in a Cal Poly press release about the study, “Effects of Estuary-Wide Seagrass Loss on Fish Populations,” which was recently published in the journal Estuaries and Coasts. Walter is one of several researchers who, led by Jennifer O’Leary, worked in conjunction with the Morro Bay National Estuary Program to find out how declines in eelgrass have impacted local fish populations. Walter told New Times that scientists replicated trawl surveys that had been conducted in Morro Bay prior to eelgrass losses, and then compared the types and numbers of fish that were found before and after the decline. While the estuary-wide losses of seagrass didn’t result in fewer fish as Walter had expected, it did lead to changes in the species most commonly found off the shores of Morro Bay. Prior to 2007, the bay was home to mostly seagrass-loving specialist fish, like bay pipefish, which have long, thin bodies that are adapted to hide among seagrass blades. Walter said researchers are now seeing significant increases in flatfish that thrive in the less dynamic, muddy seafloor conditions that currently exist where eelgrass meadows once grew. The speckled sanddab and staghorn sculpin now dominate the bay, according to the study’s findings. “It’s just sort of a nice documentation of how these species are changing,” Walter said. But that change could create problems for both species that depend on seagrass for survival and others. “It’s one of those things where the ecosystem itself is changing,” he said, “and if you have a change in fish population, that has the ability to go beyond that portion of the food web.” If eelgrass doesn’t recover, then the surviving patches will grow farther apart in a more fragmented distribution.

REPLANTING The Morro Bay National Estuary Program hired Tenera Environmental Inc. to support eelgrass restoration efforts in 2021. Staff transplanted eelgrass into 1-meter plots along the main tidal channel in Morro Bay, and those plots are expected to expand over time to increase eelgrass habitat.

distance and patchiness of habitat may impact eelgrass specialist species by impairing their ability to move to new areas in search of food or mates. Over time this isolation could alter the genetic structure and diversity of the overall pipefish population, which Walter said could then have a cascading effect into the rest of the food chain. As a physicist, Walter’s focus is mostly on how the loss of eelgrass has changed circulation patterns and the carbonate chemistry of the water off the shores of Morro Bay. Just like trees do on land, eelgrass takes in carbon produced in the water. A decrease in eelgrass could lead to an increase in the water’s carbon content, which could have impact other plant and animal species in the area, including improved conditions for species that can cause potentially harmful algae blooms. Walter said he and other Cal Poly staff and students plan to continue their research into Morro Bay’s carbonate chemistry using funding from a new federal grant. This information, he said, aids in efforts to manage and restore eelgrass largely led by the Morro Bay National Estuary Program. Restoration Projects Manager Carolyn Geraghty said the Estuary Program has been working to bring eelgrass back to the bay since around 2014. The process is similar to gardening, according to Geraghty, but in the sea. Most of the work happens in a tiny window each year during the spring,

when the ocean’s tide is at its lowest. Volunteers and staff collect buckets of eelgrass, count the shoots coming out of each plant, and then replant them either directly into other plots of sediment or attach them to anchors like sticks of bamboo and bury them in sediment. The anchors, Geraghty said, can help prevent newly planted eelgrass from being carried away by strong waves or currents. Once the planting is completed, volunteers track the density of the new eelgrass plots. The hope, she said, is that the plants take root, continue to spread out across the seafloor, and eventually reconnect with other patches of grass to create one large meadow. While the early attempts at planting weren’t all that successful, Geraghty said recent drone-based surveys of the bay have shown promising new growth. The 9.4 acres of seagrass left in Morro Bay in 2017 expanded to nearly 40 acres by 2019, according to Geraghty. Although she said researchers are still analyzing data from 2020, they’re optimistic that the seagrass acreage continues to slowly increase. Fishermen and other frequenters of the bay continue to report seeing huge increases in grass meadows. “So we still have a ways to go to return to prior eelgrass levels,” Geraghty said. But, she said, there’s reason for hope. ∆ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@newtimesslo.com.

rench Hospital Medical Center has a rich history of providing medical services with compassion to the San Luis Obispo County community—and this month marks the hospital’s 75th anniversary. According to Sara San Juan, spokesperson for Dignity Health Central Coast, Edison French, MD, founded French after serving in the Navy Medical Corps. When he returned to San Luis Obispo, he purchased the San Luis Obispo Sanitarium at 1160 Marsh St. to repurpose the building. He opened the doors of the original French Hospital in 1946. In the years that followed—referred to as The Golden Years by health care practitioners, San Juan said—the population grew to more than 50,000 individuals and the need for specialist doctors became apparent. In 1972, in an effort to address this need, French decided to expand on the facility and services offered by opening a larger hospital at its current Johnson Avenue location. French passed away in 1985, but his legacy and his contributions to the local health care industry are still appreciated to this day. Along with his transformative views on practicing medicine, French was a physician who showed deep care for his patients and staff, and for the community in which he served, San Juan said. Currently French Hospital Medical Center has 98 beds and serves more than 4,700 inpatients and nearly 112,000 outpatients, and has more than 20,000 emergency visits annually. Alan Iftiniuk, French Hospital Medical Center president and CEO, told New Times that over the past 75 years French has developed and nurtured deep roots in San Luis Obispo, and those strong relationships are incredibly important to the health of both the hospital and the community. “Our physicians are exceptionally skilled professionals that take great pride in their work and caring for their patients. Their outstanding efforts transcend beyond the walls of our hospital to include community service, serving on community boards, and being remarkable representatives of our facility,” Iftiniuk said. Those practitioners have seen great success over the years, with their combined dedication to providing safe, quality care coupled with French’s stateof-the-art facility, which enables them to offer the latest technologies and programs to their patients. “The true beneficiaries of this collaboration are the patients we are privileged to care for,” Iftiniuk said. That sentiment was reinvigorated during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Iftiniuk said providing safe medical care was a collaborative undertaking. “We attribute the success of our hospital during the pandemic to the outstanding relationships we have with community organizations, and our exceptional team of leaders, physicians, nurses, and support staff who moved swiftly to make the adaptations necessary to safely care for

our patients and community,” he said. “We were able to adapt in a manner that maintained very high levels of safety for both our staff and patients, while maintaining the same quality care our patients expect and deserve.” As the community continues to grow and rely on the hospital’s quality of care, French Hospital is building the hospital of the future, dubbed Your New French Hospital. This new vision will transform the current campus and set the standard for care on the Central Coast with a new four-story, 85,000-square-foot patient care tower with 56 new single-patient rooms; a 16-bed neonatal intensive care unit; 10 additional intensive care unit beds; an interfaith chapel; holistic grounds; a helicopter landing pad for critical emergencies; and more.

Opinion Time to look beyond self-interests

The conservative majority on the Board of Supervisors is poorly serving our county. Their failure to defend and support Tommy Gong and his staff despite their superlative work in our elections implicitly promotes the lie of election fraud in our county and threatens the stability and functioning of that office. This will be remembered in upcoming elections. It will also be remembered that Lynn Compton apparently had confidence in Mr. Gong and his staff in 2018 with her razorthin victory that year. Despite their disappointment, progressives did not respond by pandering to the fringe of their party but showed respect for democracy and our institutions. It’s beyond time for the conservative majority on the board to look beyond their own self-interests and show respect and support for our Clerk-Recorder’s Office by appointing the acting director for the remaining term. It is very transparent what you are doing! Craig Updegrove San Luis Obispo

Let’s pass voting rights protection

In 2021, we have seen far too many attacks on our right to vote. I’m sure many of us heard about the law in Georgia that made it illegal to give voters water while they’re waiting in line to vote. Well, for every voter suppression law we did hear about, there are 20 more we didn’t. So far this year, 17 states enacted 28 new laws that make it more difficult for eligible Americans to cast their ballots, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.

HODIN

The only answer to this crisis is a response from the federal government. We need lawmakers in Congress to pass legislation that will create national standards to safeguard our right to vote as soon as possible. There are already two bills in the mix that, if passed, would go a long way to securing our freedom to vote. The first is the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the second is the For the People Act. Congress has everything it needs to pass sweeping voting rights protection with these pieces of legislation. I am asking them not to squander it or let the filibuster get in the way.

to supply badly needed fresh water to our drying state. We’d build more safe, carbon-free nuclear plants as scientists suggest to fight global warming and desalinate sea water as a byproduct while supplying clean electricity to our state’s people, industry, and businesses. It’s time to throw the gauntlet down to politicians: Either you save Diablo Canyon and act decisively to give us the desalinated water we must have, or no vote for you. The vote is all we residents really have that those who supposedly represent us want. So let’s use the vote to finally get government to take the strong action desperately needed now.

Diablo Canyon and desalination

Not financially conservative

We in California face a historically deep drought advancing on our state, in addition to the global warming increase that takes our Western U.S. water more every day. Yet, what are politicians fretting about? The plight of our Golden State? Not so much. The governor worries about the recall and where donations will come from for that next office. Sacramento politicians worry about what they always focus on—where will money come from for that next election. Of course they focus on Big Oil and Gas donations. The people can’t afford to fund elections anymore with million dollar and up price tags. Meanwhile the state burns, loses companies and jobs to Texas and elsewhere, and more dried-up cropland is abandoned. If “the people” were really government’s first priority, we’d keep Diablo Canyon Power Plant open and expand its desalination plant as previously planned

The SLO County Board of Supervisors is not fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities. The recent Tribune editorial (June 15, 2021: “True to form, SLO County’s conservative supervisors make the wrong choice—again”) is a blatant illustration of the conservative majority’s unwillingness to listen to their constituents, failure to follow their stated mission, and inability to fulfill their fiscal responsibilities. Supervisors Lynn Compton, John Peschong, and Debbie Arnold made a conscious decision to ignore the dozens of letters imploring them to make the logical and fiscally responsible choice to fulfill the remaining term for county clerk-recorder. And those same supervisors who voted not to spend money to modernize our voting process turn on a dime and vote to spend money to seek statewide candidates without proper qualifications when there is a

Questions that need answers

I keep hearing Democrats saying the Republicans are trying to strip the people’s right to vote away but never hear the specific items they are doing to accomplish this. So, Quinn Brady, could you tell the people exactly what they are doing that you feel is stripping people’s voting rights (“Not everyone is free,” July 8)? Let’s take Delaware’s (Biden’s home state) voting laws and compare it to, say, Texas, and tell us which one has more voter restrictions. Also, do you believe a person should show an ID to verify they are legally eligible to vote or not? Almost everyone has to have an ID to drive, get welfare/food stamps, unemployment, pay taxes, fly on a plane, and numerous other things, so why do the Democrats keep saying to require an ID to vote is racist against the Black, Hispanic, and other poorer people?

Of course, the developer is listening and would happily leave them, thereby avoiding a major expense. So as things are going, it looks like Morro Bay is going to keep its stacks, at least for now. The recent collapse of part of a condominium tower in Florida is a reminder that concrete structures have a finite life. Sooner or later the old concrete power plant stacks will deteriorate. They will become unsafe and they will need to be demolished. That job might have been done for us, but sadly, the city of Morro Bay is about to be put on the hook and it will cost us a mint to do it in the future. Frank Merrill Morro Bay

All about the money

The county of San Luis Obispo is only interested in procuring property taxes so it approves whatever it can get away with, in my opinion. Our Cambria Community Services District (CCSD) directors no longer play by the rules set out to protect the environment but are playing to the tune of someone else. I just don’t know who, specifically. If the CCSD was, in fact, playing by the rules and codes that have been hard won to protect the coast, ocean, residents, and wildlife dependent upon the environment for their very lives, this large home would have been disallowed early on. It is not fair to anyone to keep trying to get around the codes in place. The only short-term winner would be the county gaining money, money, money, in my view. Lauren Younger Cambria

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY ANDREW CHRISTIE

Exxon approaching

etween an explosive sting video starring a senior lobbyist and a shareholders meeting that saw three seats on their board going to climate activists, ExxonMobil’s been having a rough year. It couldn’t happen to a nicer oil company. But it hasn’t slowed their roll on the Central Coast. It’s been almost a year since I wrote about ExxonMobil’s plan to restart three offshore platforms near Santa Barbara that were shut down in 2015 after the Plains All American Pipeline ruptured and spilled thousands of gallons of oil along the Central Coast. The company proposes to resume pumping to its Las Flores Canyon processing facility, then loading tanker trucks that would transport up to 470,400 gallons of oil per day up to 140 miles to refineries in Santa Maria and Kern County. That would mean 70 trucks per day heading up Highway 101 from Gaviota to the Nipomo Mesa and across Route 166 and the Cuyama River watershed, 24 hours a day. You might detect several problems with this plan, along with indifferently regulated offshore oil and gas pipelines and the prospect of negotiating the curves of Highway 166 while surrounded by oil tankers. Oil spills off the Central Coast threaten a wide range of endangered species. The Environmental Defense Center’s 2013 report: “Dirty Water: Fracking Offshore California,” is also worth a read. But here’s the kicker: As the final environmental impact report (EIR) nears its hearing before the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission on Sept. 29 and Oct. 1, even though it admits that there would be unavoidable impacts from the project— including significant impacts on wildlife and cultural resources in the event of an oil spill from a tanker truck—the final EIR does not consider the obvious impacts of bringing Exxon’s three shuttered offshore platforms back online. And, of course, this project is in direct opposition to the goals of the state of California to shift away from fossil fuels in favor of clean, renewable energy sources. In short: “The county’s final environmental impact report fails to disclose the devastating impacts that will result if ExxonMobil is allowed to resume oil drilling in the Santa Barbara Channel and truck oil along our scenic highways,” said Linda Krop, chief counsel for the Environmental Defense Center. “ExxonMobil’s proposal will result in more oil spills, air pollution, and increased climate change at a time when we need to pursue clean energy alternatives.” The defense for this project—which you will be hearing more and more as it nears its permit hearing, and from critics of this article who don’t read this far—is

the same as the defense for all other such projects: jobs. The California Workforce Development Board says this: “California has demonstrated that it is viable to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and have economic growth concurrently. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) used economic modeling to estimate that in 2030 there will be at most a 0.3 percent difference in job growth when comparing scenarios with or without climate policy—essentially, no net job loss.” The Workforce Development Board report notes that this minuscule difference is especially notable when compared to recent projections of the cost of not mitigating climate change, reported in the Fourth National Climate Assessment, “which predicts severe disruptions to the economy if climate action is not taken.” Further, in 2016, there were 9,000 people employed in oil and gas extraction in California—0.06 percent of the state’s 16 million jobs—and 57,000 in the entire fossil fuel industry—0.36 percent of California’s 16 million jobs. This compares to 512,000 people employed in jobs related to clean energy. There’s one other problem with this plan: Despite the impacts of the project in SLO County, Exxon only needs a permit from Santa Barbara County. You may remember a few years ago when Phillips 66 planned to run crude oil “bomb trains” that would run nearly the length of California before reaching the Nipomo Mesa refinery. Even though the project’s obvious threats applied to dozens of cities and counties, Phillips 66 only needed a permit from SLO County, the destination of the trains. Exxon only needs a permit from the point of origin for the trucks. People from across the state overflowed the SLO County Government Center during the Phillips 66 oil train hearings—their only chance to plead their case against the oil train project. We won. We must now make the voices of San Luis Obispo heard in Santa Barbara. The cities of San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay have gone on record opposing Exxon’s plan. Now it’s your turn. Tell the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission to focus on the adequacy of the final environmental impact report. Without an adequate EIR, the commission cannot determine the project’s potential impacts, mitigation measures and alternatives, and consistency with local laws. The first finding the commission must make is whether the EIR complies with the California Environmental Quality Act and discloses all of the potential impacts of the proposed project. ∆ Andrew Christie is the director of the Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club.

The Shredder

Stingy, snotty, stupid “

ello! How would you like 18.2 million free dollars to complete a really important public works project that’s been under construction for about 30 years?” “Wow, 18 million, eh? Might it require county government to employ eminent domain to compel a curmudgeonly property owner to—at fair market value—sell a small sliver of his land?” “Yes, it might require eminent domain some time in the future, but this $18 million will allow you to begin negotiating for parcels from willing property owners and continue planning and engineering the project, which the public is wildly ecstatic to see completed.” “Then no way, Jose. Keep your money because … property rights!!! Don’t tread on me!!! Government overreach!!!” Dear 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold, how did you get your priorities so screwed up? I mean, seriously! SLO County wins an $18.2 million transportation grant to finish the final 4.4-mile leg of the Bob Jones Trail from SLO to Avila Beach, a project that’s been in the works since the early ’90s, and because one old crank named Ray Bunnell, who owns an 80-acre parcel on the edge of the trail, refuses to sell, you fold up like a cheap card table and vote not to accept the money? Bunnell doesn’t even live on the property! He’s leasing it to someone else.

In fact, Bunnell has reportedly moved to Texas. Maybe he’s planning to spend his remaining days under a pile of Gadsden Flags while fully armed and enjoying open container laws. Yeehaw! The point is, he ain’t even here! Arnold cited a county general plan policy about not using eminent domain “for trail establishment,” as if this non-binding policy was chipped into stone by God herself and personally handed to Moses. “I really believe these are important property rights statements that our citizens in this county depend on,” Arnold said. “To this point, we still have a least one unwilling seller that’s written consistently over many years that it would be unavailable. … I don’t think we should accept the funds until this issue is resolved.” Thankfully, the four semi-sane supervisors voted to accept the grant, and the county filed an eminent domain claim with the SLO County Superior Court to at least allow county contractors to enter Bunnell’s property to do preliminary survey work, including soilboring tests that are necessary to design one of the trail’s bridges over SLO Creek. The grant, which the county worked really hard to obtain, beating out hundreds of competing applications from around the state, is in jeopardy if the survey work on Bunnell’s property isn’t completed this year. In other words, Arnold would rather throw away the

money to burnish her property rights bona fides, than accept the money and do what crafty politicians do: Take the free money and negotiate the details later. Just because Bunnell is being a selfish, stingy smellfungus doesn’t mean Arnold has to enable his ungenerous behavior. Speaking of total jerks, what’s up with the skate rats of Santa Rosa Park? We built them a $2.2 million state-of-the-art skate park that’s free to use, and yet these little shits have decided they need to screw with the young roller skaters on the nearby rink. SLOCO Junior Roller Derby and its coaches regularly reserve the Ken Hampian Roller Rink at Santa Rosa Park to work with roller skaters age 4 to 15, and over the last month, they’ve been harassed by a group of young skateboarders who’ve yelled insults, thrown grapes and other food on the rink, offered drugs to the young roller skaters, tore down SLOCO Derby signs, and stormed onto the rink while practice was still ongoing. These hooligans called the coaches the N-word and C-word and called the young roller skaters “whores,” and when the police were called, the skateboarders scattered like cockroaches at the sight of the police cruiser. What little cowards! This roller skating group is working with kids from throughout the county, and they’re an open and welcoming team

that promotes acceptance and unity. It doesn’t matter your sexuality, gender identity, creed, or color—all are welcome to skate … until now. Slow. Clap. You. Little. Miscreants. Thanks to your abysmal behavior, SLO Parks and Recreation has now stopped dropin use of the roller rink as well as drop-in basketball. Now only groups who have registered permits can use the facilities. I liked you little creeps better when you were pandemic-trapped in your smelly teenager rooms playing X-Box all day. And speaking of the pandemic, wouldn’t it be great to have some data about current COVID-19 cases in SLO County, such as the percent of new cases among the vaccinated and unvaccinated, including hospitalizations. The New York Times, citing CDC data, reported that throughout the country, new outbreaks—largely driven by the Delta variant—are occurring in places with low vaccination rates, and most hospitalizations and deaths are of the unvaccinated. I’m no epidemiologist, but it seems like that sort of information might be good to know, right county Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein? We’re trying to convince the unvaccinated to get the shot and help get us to herd immunity, aren’t we? ∆ The Shredder accepts grants, doesn’t harass kids, and is fully vaccinated.

Saddle up! Ride to the Mid-State Fair for some country music

hat’s better than a cold beer on a warm Paso night listening to country music in the Chumash Grandstand Arena? Not much! The California Mid-State Fair is back this year, and Dwight Yoakam plays the 2021 Bug Light Seltzer Concert Series this Thursday, July 22 (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $50.50 to $72.50 at midstatefair.com). Yoakam’s a certified superstar who’s sold more than 25 million albums, won two Grammies and received 21 nominations, and had five Billboard No. 1 albums. He’s got a deep catalog of hits such as “Honky Tonk Man,” “A Thousand Miles From Nowhere,” and “Ain’t That Lonely Yet.” King Leg opens the show. Big & Rich plays the Grandstand on Friday, July 23 (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $50.50 to $100.50 at midstatefair.com). These two Technicolor cowboys are big and brash and hit the ground running in 2004 with their debut album, Horse of a Different Color, which produced four Top 40 country hits. Callie Twisselman opens the show, and don’t forget there’s also plenty of free entertainment with your fair admission on the Fort Frontier Stage and Mission Square.

Three decades and counting

Celtic rockers The Young Dubliners have been road warriors forever, crisscrossing the globe and bringing their brand of Irish rock to the masses, but like all bands, they were waylaid

by the pandemic. Now they’re about to embark on a limited summer and fall tour, and because frontman Keith Roberts made SLO County his home base a few years ago, the band will kick off their tour this Friday, July 23, at Paso’s Cal Coast Brewery (8 p.m.; $20) before heading to the East Coast, Midwest, and back across the country. They’re also taking 150 lucky fans with them on their tour to Ireland, Oct. 30 through Nov. 8. If you’ve got an extra $3,200 lying around and want to see the Emerald Isle from the Young Dubs’ perspective, visit youngdubliners.com and jump on board!

Dylan dally

This Saturday, July 24, at SLO Brew Rock, The Casual Coalition and altcountry icon Chuck Prophet will recreate in its entirety Bob Dylan’s classic 16th studio album The Basement Tapes (1975), which Dylan recorded with The Band in 1967 (7 p.m.; all ages; $20 at ticketweb.com or $25 day of show). The Bay Area all-star band features members of The Mother Hips, Phil Lesh & Friends, and The Mars Hotel. This is a standingroom-only show. Also at SLO Brew Rock, check out a reggae extravaganza featuring Kash’d Out with Bikini Trill, Cydeways, and Bonzai, next Thursday, July 29 (7 p.m.; 18-and-older; $12 at ticketweb.com; standing room only).

Whose side are you on? COURTESY IMAGES BY RENÉE KELLEHER

Inside/Outside showcases diverse range of oil and pastel pieces by Central Coast artists Renée Kelleher and Jim Tyler

hile differing in media preferences, one thing local painter Renée Kelleher and pastelist Jim Tyler have in common is an appreciation of light and shadow. “Jim has such a beautiful use of light in his pastels. I try to capture contrast in lights and darks, as well, in my oil paintings,” Kelleher said. “We both push color, so our works complement each other quite well, I feel. “I believe the fact that we paint in two different media enhances our show,” added Kelleher, whose works are paired alongside Tyler’s in a new duo exhibition, Inside/Outside, at Gallery Los Olivos. As the show’s title might suggest, outdoor landscapes—which both artists have become well known for—aren’t the only pieces on display. While some of Tyler’s latest exteriors use the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes, Montaña de Oro, and other coastal locales as their backdrops, exhibit visitors will be just glances away from the interiors of a French chapel Kelleher painted during a trip to Madrid. “While a lot of artists just focus on one subject, like local landscapes, we both paint everything—figures, city scenes, floral, still life, as well as landscapes from California and from our travels,” said Tyler, a prolific member of SLOPE (San Luis Outdoor Painters for the Environment) and other regional painting groups. “That was the basis for our new show. We wanted to show that a consistent painting style applies to any subject.” Tyler called the new duo exhibit a “very cohesive show,” as both artists’ works fit under the umbrella of impressionistic realism. Kelleher agreed.

IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO A collection of oil paintings by Renée Kelleher (whose piece, Sunset Reflections Madrid, is pictured here) is currently hanging alongside several pastel pieces by fellow artist Jim Tyler in a duo show at Gallery Los Olivos, titled Inside/Outside.

“Our styles are very much alike in our representational way of painting,” Kelleher said. “But more than that, we both have tremendous diversity of subject matter whether we are painting in our studios or en plein air. We are not just plein air landscape painters. I believe that we both are thinking outside that box.” Kelleher’s goal with her oil paintings is for viewers to experience specific yet candid moments in time, whether it’s simply sitting in traffic during a sunset or finding an abandoned bird nest in your backyard. “Each one is unique and a work of art in itself,” Kelleher said of the bird nests, which she’s been continuously discovering on her COURTESY IMAGE BY JIM TYLER property and painting recently. Viewers will be able to find these still life pieces in the non-landscape section of Inside/Outside. “About half of our works are landscapes and are displayed on two adjoining walls. The non-landscape pieces are on two other adjoining walls,” Tyler said, commenting on the layout of the exhibit, which will remain on display through July 31. As members of Gallery Los Olivos, Tyler and Kelleher also take occasional shifts running the gallery, assisting guests and handling sales during the exhibit’s run. About 2 1/2 years ago, Kelleher first met Tyler at HERE, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE “While a lot of the gallery shortly after he had artists just focus on one subject, like local landscapes, we both become a new member. That day, paint everything—figures, city scenes, floral, still life, as well as she showed her future Inside/ landscapes from California and from our travels,” said pastelist Outside partner the ins and outs Jim Tyler, referring to the diverse range of subjects found in both of managing the venue.

the gallery as she showed me the procedures for running the gallery and recording sales,” Tyler said. “We really hit it off that day, and we discovered that we both like painting a variety of subjects.” About a week before Inside/Outside closes, Tyler will be hosting a live painting demonstration at Gallery Los Olivos on July 26. He’s also hosting a similar event just the day before, at Park Street Gallery in Paso Robles (July 25), where Tyler regularly holds free pastel demos at least three times a month, he said. In comparison to the pandemic-related ups and downs of the past year and a half, one thing Tyler has noticed lately, and has been feeling grateful for, is people flocking back to in-person art exhibits and sales again. “We’ve seen an upswing in visitors and buyers,” Tyler said “People are ready to get out of their houses after the COVID-19 restrictions, and they’re also ready to bring back new art to their homes.” ∆ Calendar Editor Caleb Wiseblood could use some new wall art.

In the arts story, “Portraits, music, and stories” (July 15), New Times incorrectly stated Jordan Martinez’s title. She was a producer for R.A.C.E. Matters SLO’s Belonging project. We regret the error.

Inside/Outside runs through Saturday, July 31, at Gallery Los Olivos, located at 2920 Grand Ave., Los Olivos. Visit gallerylosolivos.com for more details on this duo exhibit.

The searcher M organ Neville (Won’t You Be My Neighbor, 20 Feet From Stardom) directs this documentary about revered chef, writer, and TV host Anthony Bourdain, known for authentic approach to food, culture, and travel. (118 min.)

Glen I didn’t know much about Bourdain going into this film. I never read his bestselling book Kitchen Confidential or watched any of his TV shows. I knew his name and that his shtick was traveling to exotic locales and eating weird food. When he died by suicide, after the outpouring of grief, I started to understand the depth of his celebrity. A lot of people clearly revered him, and Roadrunner is a film dedicated to showing why. It clearly wants to romanticize him, painting him like a flawed searcher/hero always looking for the next thrill, adventure, or experience. The film is frank about his early drug use, unapologetic about his drinking, forthright about his failed romances— actually, “failed” is the wrong word, because in each case save the last, the relationship remained but the romance ended. I don’t know if this is a true, full portrait of Bourdain, but it’s certainly entertaining and insightful. He built his reputation over time, took a lot of pleasure in his notoriety, was something of a control freak, but he seemed to have a junkie’s mindset—nothing was ever enough, he was always looking for the next high, always coming down or shooting up not with drugs but with leaps into the unknown. Aside from the cop-out of suicide, he’s painted as admirable. Anna Kitchen Confidential is a book that hits too close to home with anyone who’s worked in the restaurant industry, especially back-of-house folks like cooks and dishwashers—especially in urban, culture-rich food areas like NYC and LA. Once his book hit, the world was treated to the dirty little secrets that folks in the industry knew all too well—the drugs, booze, and sex-filled underground that happens behind those swinging kitchen doors. Bourdain was somewhat of an anti-hero. He wasn’t polished or shiny like every other TV chef, yet he had a realness that audiences connected with. What we learn is that the complicated man we thought we knew was just a tiny fraction

Through interviews with his close family, friends, and fellow chefs, we get an intimate look at the painfully shy and felt hit hard as well. I think one trait that tortured person hidden under bravado really attracts people to Bourdain and and ego. We look at how becoming a father interested them in watching his travels is changed his life, yet how it ultimately he isn’t a bright and shiny personality— he’s not on screen in a studio kitchen couldn’t save him from himself.

The film intimates that Bourdain’s relationship with SOULMAN Renowned foodie and traveler Anthony Bourdain his final girlfriend, lived large and took fans along for a wild ride, and we hear from Italian actress those closest to him about the man and the loss felt when he Asia Argento, who died, in Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain. was a strong and early voice in the heart while it is still beating. He wasn’t #MeToo movement and one of Harvey interested in feeding his audience a false Weinstein’s victims, may have played a story. He was both big in life and also very role in his despondency, but Bourdain joked about suicide too frequently to blame small, difficult, complicated, and hard to please.

alcolm D. Lee directs this mix of live action and animation about a rogue artificial intelligence (Don Cheadle) that kidnaps LeBron James’ son, forcing the famed basketball player to team up with Bugs Bunny to win a basketball game. When my husband told me he’s never seen Space Jam, I did a double take with a “Whaaat??” because as someone who grew up in the ’90s, I’ve seen that flick more than 20 times. Is that because it’s great cinema? Not necessarily, but it sure was a lot of fun to watch animation meet real life and to watch my favorite toons take down the Goon Squad. The premise of A New Legacy is easy enough— but this 2021 version lacks the charm or originality of the original. In this flick, we spend a lot of time in strictly animation territory, transforming Dom James (Cedric Joe), LeBron, and the other human characters into Looney Tunes. The kidnapped kid has to battle his dad’s team of misfit cartoons.

It simply doesn’t have the humor of the first film. I was bored from beginning to end, and while the 1996 film definitely can still make me laugh, this one didn’t even evoke a chuckle. I didn’t care about these characters or their plight, the stakes are too boring to feel high, and this outlandish IP branding is not even close to subtle. I understand checking this out for nostalgia reasons, but do yourself a favor and just re-watch the first film. It’s better in every way. (115 min.) —Anna

THE PAPER TIGERS

What’s it rated? PG-13 When? 2020 Where’s it showing? Redbox

TEAM WORK LeBron James teams with Bugs Bunny and other cartoon characters to win a basketball game and save his son, himself, and his family from being trapped inside a computer network, in Space Jam: A New Legacy, in local theaters and on HBO Max.

n his feature-length debut, writerdirector Quoc Bao Tran helms this action comedy about three former kung fu prodigies—Danny (Alain Uy), Hing (Ron Yuan), and Jim (Mykel Shannon Jenkins)—who’ve grown into middle-aged nobodies with dead-end jobs and dad duties. When their old master, Sifu (Roger Yuan), is murdered, however, they have to put aside old grudges to avenge his death. Genuinely funny, with a lot of emotional heft—thanks in part to Danny and his strained relationship with his wife, Caryn (Jae Suh Park), and young son, Ed (Joziah Lagonoy)—the film manages to offer some authentic kung fu action as it winkingly dismantles the model minority myth. Mathew Page stars as Carter, Danny’s old kung fu nemesis who unlike Danny has stuck with martial arts and embraced Asian culture to the point of gross cultural appropriation. He’s

AGING GRACELESSLY Three former kung fu prodigies—(left to right) Jim (Mykel Shannon Jenkins), Danny (Alain Uy), and Hing (Ron Yuan)—break out of their middle-aged doldrums to avenge their murdered former master, in The Paper Tigers, available at Redbox. definitely the butt of the joke. This independent film turned down Hollywood financing because Tran and its producers didn’t want to turn the lead character into a Caucasian played by Bruce Willis, so they looked to Kickstarter to get initial funding and found other investors. Thank God! Hollywoodizing would have stripped the soul from this small but mighty film. (108 min.) ∆ —Glen

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-9390772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-881301-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA20-881301-BF 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions

LEGAL NOTICES to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Send me an oracle you’d like to receive for the first week of September. Newsletter@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Author Valerie Andrews reminds us that as children, we all had the “magical capacity to see the land as an animal does; to experience the sky from the perspective of a flower or a bee; to feel the earth quiver and breathe beneath us; to know a hundred different smells of mud and listen unselfconsciously to the soughing of the trees.” Oh, how I would love you to be able to recover even a fraction of those talents in the coming days. My reading of the current astrological potentials tells me that your chances of doing so are much better than usual. Your ability to connect with the eternal child and wise animal within you is at a peak.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus singer Barbra Streisand has a shopping mall built below her large home. Its purpose isn’t to sell consumer goods to strangers but rather to stash her precious belongings and show them off when friends come over. Among the storefronts are an antique store, doll shop, costume shop, and candy store. The coming weeks would be an excellent time for you to start building a shopping mall beneath your home, too, Taurus. If that’s too expensive or complicated, here are alternatives: 1. Revitalize your appreciation for your treasured possessions. 2. Acquire a new treasured possession or two that will inspire you to love your life even more than you already do. 3. Reacquaint yourself with the spiritual powers that your treasured possessions arouse in you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Dalai Lama says there are core similarities between science and Buddhism. Both keep searching for ever-more complete versions of the truth. Both employ firsthand observation and experimentation to do that noble work. If they find new information that contradicts previously held versions of the truth, both are willing to discard them. Now that you Geminis are entering the Deep Questioning Phase of your astrological cycle, I’d love you to make generous use of the Buddhist/Scientific approach. More complete versions of the truth will be available in abundance in the coming weeks—if you’re alert for them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian artist Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1656) achieved the impossible: She became a supremely skilled and renowned painter in an era when women had virtually no opportunities to become artists. Many aspects of her work distinguished her from other painters. For example, she depicted women as having strong, agile hands and arms. In Artemisia’s world, the power of women’s wrists, forearms, and fingers signifies their ability to put their mark upon the world, to accomplish strenuous practical tasks with grace and flair. If I were going to paint images of you in the coming weeks, I would also portray you as having strong, agile hands and arms. I suspect you’ll have potent agency to get things done—to adeptly manipulate the material world to serve your ideals. (Thoughts about Artemisia’s hands come from art historian Mary D. Garrard.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Once upon a time”: That’s your phrase of power these days. What do I mean by that? I’m suggesting that you will strengthen your problem-solving abilities by engaging in playful pretending for the sheer fun of it. I’m predicting that you will boost your confidence by dreaming up amusing magical stories in which you endure heroic tests and achieve epic feats. And I’m proposing that you will finetune your ability to accomplish practical feats if you regard your robust imagination as crucial to your success.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo singer-songwriter Fiona Apple says she’s not religious. On the other hand, she regularly kneels on the ground and announces to whatever great power might be listening, “Thank you for my problems, and I send my love everywhere.” She’s sincere. She regards her sadness and her challenges as being equally important to her happiness and success. The difficulties teach her what she didn’t even realize she needed to know, and make her appreciate the good times more intensely. I suggest you borrow from her approach right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Nobel Prize-winning author Albert Camus wrote, “Great feelings bring with them their own universe”—which he said may either be degraded or splendid, selfish or generous. I love that he allowed for the possibility that great feelings could be positive and noble. So many renowned thinkers focus on negative and ignoble states of mind. In accordance with current astrological potentials, Libra, your task is to cultivate feelings that are splendid and generous. These sentiments should exalt you, uplift you, and empower you to spread transformative benevolence to those whose lives you touch.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “How can you hold on to something that won’t hold still?” asked Scorpio poet Benjamin Fondane. In general, you Scorpios have more talent than every other sign of the zodiac at doing just that: corralling wiggly, slippery things and making them work for you. And I expect this skill will be especially in play for you during the coming weeks. Your grasp on the elusive assets won’t ever be perfect, but it will be sufficiently effective to accomplish small wonders.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian Calvin Trillin is a witty writer with a good imagination and a flair for inventive language. But back in school, he confesses, “Math was always my bad subject. I couldn’t convince my teachers that many of my answers were meant ironically.” You Sagittarians are authorized by the cosmic powers-that-be to borrow your style and attitude from Trillin in the coming weeks. So you shouldn’t be fixated on mathematical precision and fastidious logic; your task is not to be conceptually impeccable and scrupulously sensible. Rather, you have a license to be extra lyrical and lush and rhapsodic and humorous and irrepressible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 2011, an eBay seller produced a 19th-century photo that he said proved Capricorn actor Nicholas Cage is a time-traveling vampire. Although the character in the image did indeed resemble the Oscarwinning star, he rejected the theory, and emphatically declared that he is not a time-traveling vampire. Maybe that all sounds absurd, but I must tell you that you may soon have to deal with people’s equally inaccurate and off-kilter theories about you. My advice: Don’t take it personally. Simply correct others’ misimpressions and rely solely on yourself for definitive ideas about who you are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’ve assembled excerpts of love poems for your inspiration. Why? Because you’re entering the Intensified Intimacy Phase of your astrological cycle. Consider using the following riffs as inspiration when you interact with loved ones. 1. “I profess the religion of love; it’s the belief, the faith I keep.” 2. “Holding your hand, I can hear your bones singing into mine and feel the moon as it rolls through you.” 3. “Raw light spills from your eyes, utterly naked, awakening an intoxicating shimmer of adventure.” 4. “I ask you please to speak to me forever.” (Poem fragments are from Ibn ‘Arabi, Al-Saddiq Al-Raddi, Herman Hesse, Sara Eliza Johnson, Alejandra Pizarnik.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): An Australian witch named Michelle Clinton praises the joys of a “moon garden.” It features flowers and plants that reveal their full beauty after dark. Among the flowers that bloom at night are evening primrose, angel’s trumpet, and Dutchman’s pipe cactus. As for the flowers whose aromas are most potent after the sun sets: night-blooming jasmine, garden heliotrope, and honeysuckle. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will have resemblances to a moon garden in the near future, Pisces. Be alert for opportunities to glow and grow in the dark.
