Meet this year’s Pismo Beach City Council candidates

he November 2020 election is just around the corner, and in Pismo Beach, three seats are up for election and several candidates are in the running. Mayor Ed Waage, and City Councilmembers Marcia Guthrie and Erik Howell are all up for reelection this year, and there are one mayoral challenger and three additional City Council candidates. Incumbent Mayor Waage will face off against candidate Dan Shadwell, a real estate agent who has lived in Pismo for about 10 years. Shadwell worked as a TV news reporter, including a six-year stint at KSBY, and in that time, he said he learned a lot about how local governments operate. He also learned how to communicate effectively with the general public, often distilling complex issues into something accessible to anyone and digging up the problems of real community members. After watching the Pismo Beach mayor and City Council for a few years, Shadwell said he doesn’t necessarily feel that effective communication with the community is one of their strengths. Because of that, Shadwell said people on both sides of the aisle urged him to run. “In part because they don’t feel the current mayor has been responsive,” Shadwell told New Times, “they don’t feel he has been proactive, and they don’t feel he has a vision.” To Shadwell, it’s clear that Pismo Beach is going to experience a lot of growth in the next few years. The town needs to be prepared, and City Council needs to ensure that there’s enough parking for both residents and tourists and infrastructure to support those who actually live in Pismo. But knowing what residents need and want, he said, starts with talking and listening to them. “We have tremendously talented and skilled folks in government,” Shadwell said. “And I want to make sure that our citizens have an open communication channel with them and that we

don’t force residents to have to dig through the details on the website to find info that should be readily available and common knowledge.” City Council candidate James Prichard has a similar goal. After a 32-year career in circulation and other backstage roles at the San Francisco Chronicle, Prichard jumped ship in the early 2000s when it became clear that the newspaper industry was in for a rocky future. In 2002, Prichard got into selling cars, and that’s where he stayed for years until he retired. When he moved to Pismo Beach in 2018, he immediately noticed that while tourism is vital to the town’s economy, the needs of Pismo’s residents often come second to those of tourists. That’s true, he said, when it comes to noise, traffic congestion, and especially parking. Prichard did some research and found that with signatures from 10 percent of Pismo’s voters, he could get a citizen’s initiative placed on the November ballot. With the help of his wife, Prichard wrote an ordinance proposal that would allow residents to apply for residential only permitted parking on streets where 51 percent of the homeowners are in favor. He needs about 630 signatures by mid-October to get the measure on the ballot, and Prichard said he has a little more than 400 right now. In his time going door-to-door asking for signatures, Prichard said he’s met the residents of Pismo Beach and heard about their other concerns, too. The current City Council, he said, isn’t viewed as being very approachable. Prichard hopes to change that. “So basically I want to be a neighborhood advocate,” he said. Scott Newton is a longtime Pismo Beach resident, small-business owner, and father of four. For weeks, Newton has been hosting community meetings outdoors aimed at meeting Pismo residents and hearing their concerns.

The city of Paso Robles continued to analyze how it can save money at its Sept. 1 City Council meeting in response to the pandemic, which has exacerbated the city’s deficit. “We are basically bleeding a million dollars a month as a result of the pandemic. Whereas city services, most city services, the same demand has continued as before, and other city services, we actually have a greater demand,” City Manager Tom Frutchey said at the meeting. The council approved an update to the Layoff Protection Plan, now called the Graduated Personnel Cost Reduction Plan, and authorized the city manager to implement additional cost-saving steps already planned or discussed with city labor groups. In June, the council approved more than $7.4 million in reductions to the city’s general fund budget to address this year’s projected deficit. The city is currently facing two interconnected challenges, Frutchey told City Council members. “The first is the absolute fiscal challenge and that we do have a structural deficit. We don’t generate revenues that are sufficient to fund what the public considers to be the priority services,” he said. The city surveyed the community in 2017 and

RUNNING FOR MAYOR Dan Shadwell wants to represent Pismo.

According to Newton’s City Council campaign website and Facebook page, he hopes to build better pedestrian and bike paths throughout Pismo, build more sports fields to meet the demands of Pismo’s many school sports teams, and hopes to better balance tourism demands with the needs of the community. “Our neighborhoods should not be neglected with the city solely focused on catering only to the needs of tourists,” Newton’s website reads. “Tourism is vital to our economy but so are the needs of our local residents.” Debora Lossing is also in the running for Pismo Beach City Council, but was out of town at press time and couldn’t be reached for an interview. According to the SLO County qualified candidate list, Lossing is a businesswoman. Δ —Kasey Bubnash has polled residents since. Their priorities have remained consistent: reliable response from police, fire, and paramedic departments, and safe roads. The city also faces getting the community to understand its current fiscal challenges. “We have a public perception problem in that, because the payment of taxes is so divorced from utilization of most services the city offers, most people in our community have no idea how underfunded the city is. And that’s compounded and in some cases, because this is true throughout the country, there has for a long time been and this still continues to be a general distrust of government,” Frutchey said. Paso Robles already has a “lean staffing” model that keeps operating costs low while continuing to provide high levels of service as well as conservative pay ranges. “The general perception is that the pandemic is what caused this problem. I hope you’ve seen through our budget discussions in the public and realized that the pandemic has just widened the gap between revenues and demand for service,” Frutchey said. Mayor Steve Martin advocated for city staff to come up with a “Plan B” that would aim NEWS continued page 6

for another reduction in general fund expenditures of between $1.5 million and $2.5 million. “The closer we get, the less we’re going to have to ask our citizens and the more services we’re going to be able to provide our citizens,” Martin said. Along with approving the cost savings plan, the council directed staff to return to the Sept. 15 council meeting with additional potential reduction measures. The direction included a “Plan B” outlining what services and budget would need to be eliminated if Measure J-20 doesn’t pass on Nov. 3. Measure J-20 is a local 1 percent sales tax to maintain essential and general services. —Karen Garcia

Advocacy group critical of SLO housing plan The city of San Luis Obispo is gearing up to submit an eight-year housing plan to the state, but the California Rural Legal Assistance (CRLA) organization says the plan falls short of addressing the needs of low-income residents. In a 26-page letter to the SLO City Council, the CRLA said that the city’s update to its housing element, which will steer local housing policy and production through 2028, has “many serious deficiencies,” mostly related to affordable housing. CRLA attorney Vincent Escoto wrote that the document does not fully capture and define the needs of elderly, lowincome, homeless, special needs, and farmworker residents in the city. He said more analysis of those populations would be necessary to ensure that SLO’s housing programs were “not just window dressing” but “viable plans that will provide beneficial outcomes to addressing the housing crisis.” “Without an adequate analysis of current and future needs, adequate programs targeted to meet the needs of these populations cannot be appropriately developed,” Escoto wrote in the Sept. 1 letter. Escoto also took swipes at aspects of the city’s plans to produce affordable housing, as well as its efforts to ensure safe housing conditions. He claimed that the new housing element didn’t comply with state law as it stood. SLO officials told councilmembers at their Sept. 1 meeting that staff would work with the CRLA and the state over the next several weeks while it prepares a final draft of the housing element. The update is due to the state by Dec. 31, 2020. Between 2014 and 2019, SLO met its overall housing target of 1,144 units— issuing 1,272 building permits in that time—although most of those units were built for residents with higher incomes. While SLO produced more than twice its target number of “above moderate” income units (1,052), it fell short of meeting targets for all other income groups— including moderate income (9 percent of the target), low-income (20 percent), and very low-income (58 percent). For its 2020 to 2028 update, the state gave SLO an overall target of 3,354 housing units, including 1,406 for above moderate incomes, 603 for moderate incomes, 520 for low incomes, and 825 for very low incomes. —Peter Johnson

Candidates campaign virtually in Morro Bay

Unlike past election years, candidates vying for two open seats on the Morro Bay City Council will be sharing their platforms with the community via their campaign websites. Two City Council seats are up for grabs this year, with incumbent Robert Davis seeking reelection and Councilmember Marlys McPherson opting to not run for another term. Davis told New Times he wants to remind the community that he’s been a part of many accomplishments that have been a team effort. “That’s how I work. I like to get people together, put the issues on the table, see where we have difference, figure out our common objectives, and work on how to get there,” he said. Davis is proud of the progress the city has made during the past four years, including finalizing the water-reclamation facility, updating the city’s general plan/ local coastal program, annexing Dog Beach to keep it pet-friendly, developing a comprehensive economic development program with the Chamber of Commerce and a strategic planning process for the city, working with Castle Winds for renewable energy, and making steps toward a sustainable harbor plan. If reelected, Davis said he has a long list of projects he will focus on, including completing the water-reclamation facility, improving the harbor and waterfront areas, developing new revenue to fund city services, facilitating the construction of the Central Coast Aquarium, and helping existing businesses thrive. Long-time resident and former City Councilmember Betty Winholtz said she’s ready to bring the residents’ perspective to the council, which doesn’t seem to always exist on the city’s governing bodies. “I think it’s important that it be vocalized and heard,” Winholtz said. She wants to focus on the city’s finances, short-term vacation rentals, and the “ever increasing cost” of the waterreclamation facility. Winholtz said the taxpayers will already have to pay $200 a month in utilities because of the water facility, but there can’t be any more increases to the project’s costs. “Thinking that the pockets of the ratepayers is unlimited, particularly in the time of COVID-19 when our people have still never gone back to work. That’s just unconscionable in my opinion,” she said. Council candidate Richard Sadowski has also had a past position with the city as a planning commissioner. Sadowski worked with Vanderberg Air Force Base as a mechanical engineer and was on the Water Reclamation Facility Citizen Advisory Group. Having seen all the changes that the city has gone through with the project, Sadowski said if elected he would put a brief pause on the project and hold the city responsible to “ensure the citizens get a good valued project for their taxpayer dollars.” “Our economic engine in Morro Bay is an organic one because of our estuary. That’s our draw so we have to make sure we keep our areas clean, especially with the current pandemic that has caused a lot of trash in these areas,” Sadowski said. Newcomer Lauren Barton is a two-year resident of Morro Bay but has experience in city positions as a staff member for the city of Visalia, a city council member, and a Visalia Unified School District board member. Barton said she’s up to speed on the water-

reclamation facility and ready to contribute to the finished and much needed project. Her focus is also on economic development, including working on improving the circulation at the intersection between highways 1 and 41, improving signage to direct tourists to easily find “hot spot” attractions—downtown, the beach, and the Embarcadero—and work to capture additional potential visitor revenue by attracting businesses that aren’t wellrepresented in the local mix. —Karen Garcia

New racial justice group calls for changes at Lucia Mar

A new organization focused on addressing race issues and equity on the Central Coast is pushing for more inclusive practices in the Lucia Mar Unified School District. The Central Coast Organization on Racial Injustice—a group formed in early June that is dedicated to creating a space for local youth to address the racism, sexual harassment, and microagressions they often face in school—recently released a petition demanding that immediate steps be taken to make Lucia Mar’s schools more equitable and inclusive for all students. “We are students. We are alumni. We have had parents open up to us as well,” The Central Coast Organization on Racial Injustice wrote in a statement to New Times. “There is a problem with [Lucia Mar] and it is time to change that. It is time for the district and administrators to stop being complicit in racism. BIPOC [Black Indigenous people of color] youth deserve to feel protected and most importantly, they deserve an anti-racist education that acknowledges the flaws of the country so that they may be better equipped to deal with those issues as they age into adulthood.” In the petition, which includes 11 demands, the organization asks that Lucia Mar ban all confederate flag and election insignia on school grounds; mandate ethnic and gender studies courses; expand more on the experiences of people of color and Indigenous people in the U.S. in social studies courses; diversify the literature taught in schools; create a club for BIPOC students; improve on-campus mental health services; improve faculty hiring practices to allow for more teachers of color; implement an end of the year survey on inclusion; put more restrictive regulations on military recruiters who go to schools to meet students; and become more accountable. The petition, according to the organization, has about 100 signatures so far. Hillery Dixon, Lucia Mar’s assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, said many of petition’s demands relate to issues the district is already working on. This summer, Dixon said the district started hosting conversations with teachers regarding race, gender, and general inclusivity, and how to ensure that the district’s schools are welcoming spaces for everyone. These conversations, Dixon said, were largely in response to the nationwide conversations surrounding racial injustice this summer. “Lucia Mar is certainly not immune to that,” she told New Times. A group of especially eager staff formed, and they hope to attend the district’s next board of education meeting, where they’ll refine the group’s goals and action plan for making Lucia Mar a more equitable district. The district eventually hopes to open the group up to community and student participation, Dixon said, and

many of the issues outlined in the petition will likely be addressed. But the group is still in its earliest planning stages. “None of this is easy or fast work,” Dixon said. “So that’s the phase we’re in now.” —Kasey Bubnash

SLO finalizes diversity, inclusion task force

A dozen local residents were selected on Sept. 1 to serve as members of the city of San Luis Obispo’s new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force, which will meet over the next few months to brainstorm policies and programs to support underrepresented community members. A SLO City Council steering committee of Mayor Heidi Harmon and Councilmember Erica Stewart reviewed 95 applications between July 13 and Aug. 3, conducted Zoom interviews, and pared the taskforce down to 12 members (plus Stewart). Their list was unanimously approved by the council on Sept. 1. “We’re not going to solve racism in a couple of months,” Stewart said at the meeting. “But I do hope we get to talk about how we can have anti-racist behavior here.” The task force includes eight SLO city residents—Amman Fasil Asfaw, Dusty Colyer-Worth, Katherine Soule, Matthew Melendrez, Maxine Kozler Koven, Oscar Velasco-Vargas, Renoda Campbell, and Vanessa Parsons—and four Grover Beach and Arroyo Grande residents—Jenell Navarro, M’Lynn Martin, Michael Boyer, and Noha Kolkailah. Harmon said that SLO opened the process to the county in the spirit of inclusiveness, and that the members represent as much “depth and breadth of lived experiences as possible.” “It was definitely difficult to pare it down,” Harmon told New Times. “It was a really great process. People were already sharing some great ideas.” The applications and interviews brought out a variety of personal experiences of racism in SLO County, Harmon said, which revealed just how much work the community has to do. “It shouldn’t be surprising that there’s a significant amount of racism in our community and in our county, but that really makes it real,” Harmon said. “We’ve heard a lot of comments lately, not just from the sheriff, but on social media, that there is no such thing as racism here. And we keep hearing that that’s not the case.” The city first announced the task force in early June at the start of protests against police racism, setting aside $160,000 for diversity and inclusion in its 2020-21 budget. Since then, the call for local action amplified after the July arrest of Black protester Tianna Arata, who could face up to five felonies for alleged misconduct at a protest in the city. Funded through January 2021, SLO’s task force will make recommendations how to best use the allocated city funds and will set “target areas and priorities” for additional grant opportunities. It also could set the agenda for programs that the city could adopt if it makes diversity and inclusion a “major city goal” in its next budget cycle—something Harmon said she supports. “All of the ideas shared and gathered in the context of this task force will not go unheard in that they will inform policy moving forward,” Harmon said. ∆ —Peter Johnson

News BY PETER JOHNSON

Out of network ocal health administrators and optometrists are pushing back against a recent change to San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties’ managed Medi-Cal plan, CenCal Health, that strips away all coverage of private prescription eyewear in favor of glasses produced by state prison inmates. Passed down by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), effective this year, the plan change impacting 186,000 enrollees has already led to prescription delays and caused local eye care professionals to drop out of CenCal’s network, officials said. Stakeholders fear that it’s just the beginning of an exodus that will impact vulnerable communities. “We immediately told the state this was going to be a problem,” said Michael Harris, CenCal Health’s director of government and administrative services. “It’s dramatically altered the ability of our members, including children, to get eyewear easily. … It’s the opposite of everything you try to do in health care.” For years, CenCal Health’s vision plan covered both eye exams and prescription glasses at more than 45 participating optometry offices across the two counties. Low-income families on CenCal had a variety of options for eye care, Harris said, because local doctors could afford to be a part of its network. And that was because CenCal paid them to provide both the exams and the glasses. “The providers aren’t making a ton of money [on CenCal], so if you give them

Medi-Cal rates in two different areas, they feel like they can support us,” Harris explained. “The providers supported CenCal by participating; we provided support to the providers by letting them do both parts of the service. We have a very, very large network of providers that makes it really easy for our members to get care.” Any hint of a proposed change to CenCal’s vision plan “was not even a blip on our radar screen,” Harris said. But late last year, the DHCS “unilaterally” informed the agency that starting Jan. 1, 2020, CenCal would have to use the California Prison Industrial Authority (CalPIA) for all of its eyewear fabrication benefits. “They just told us this is what we have to do, and they literally turned off our funding,” Harris said. DHCS officials said that CenCal’s new plan simply aligns it with the rest of the Medi-Cal plans in the state. CenCal Health was one of two plans in California, along with the Health Plan of San Mateo, that still offered private eyewear benefits. All of the other plans sourced their glasses from the CalPIA, which since 1988 has had an “interagency agreement” with DHCS to fabricate glasses for MediCal members. “This change ensures that all MediCal beneficiaries have the same benefit, regardless of their county of residence or managed care plan,” DHCS spokesperson Carol Sloan told New Times by email. CalPIA currently has two optical

laboratories—one at Valley State Prison near Fresno and another at the California State Prison in Solano—where inmates are paid $1 per hour or less to fulfill prescription eyewear orders for “marketable skills training.” The CalPIA’s glasses program is its third-highestprofiting enterprise, behind fabrics and license plates, taking in about $6.5 million per year, according to a 2018-19 annual report. Sloan wrote that the benefits of the CalPIA system to recipients and taxpayers include “real-time utilization control, eligibility check, fraud/abuse reporting and detection; 24/7 secure online ordering, tracking website, and customer services; online approval for replacements; express courier services at no cost to providers or beneficiaries; prevents ‘upselling’ by providers; and provides inmates with marketable skills training.” But CenCal’s Harris contended that the change has only served to upend a successful program, and that his staff has already received an “influx of calls” from local eye care offices reporting three- to four-week wait times for CalPIA orders, as well as a “larger issue” of “lost frames, missing orders, and many redone requests of the glasses … due to scratches on lenses.” “These delays further damage a system of eye care that was functioning smoothly for literally decades,” Harris said. To cushion the transition, CenCal decided to self-fund its existing eyewear coverage through June 30 with about $700,000 in reserves. The move gave providers some time to transition to CalPIA and it also gave officials time to try to lobby DHCS to reconsider. But neither a CenCal staff visit to Sacramento nor a strongly worded Aug. 7 letter to DHCS’s chief of managed care operations has sparked a course change. In DHCS’s response to New

clean as possible, Director of Public Works Matt Horn and SLO City Councilmember Andy Pease teamed up to put two large dumpsters near homeless camps on the Bob Jones Trail and Prado Road. They’re emptied every few weeks at a cost of about $1,000 a month for the city. Hand-washing stations and public porta-potties have also been installed throughout the city, and though they’re not necessarily in homeless camps, that

provision generally aligns with the CDC’s guidelines. The county also opened several safeparking sites in late March, where unhoused people could sleep in their cars and access showers and bathrooms. When that program ended in June, SLO city partnered with the county to expand 40 Prado’s already existing safe-parking program during the pandemic. So Smith said the city is doing whatever

That’s especially true now, he said, when so many people are using parks and trails to get out of the house. “We have to move them along and take care of what most people expect us to take care of,” Smith said. In an attempt to help keep camps as

Times’ questions, the agency said it “is not considering reverting back to allowing the fabrication of lenses to be covered by CenCal Health.” Since CenCal’s six-month subsidy lapsed, Harris said that two Santa Barbara County practices have fully terminated their contracts, and about 20 providers across the plan are no longer taking prescription orders. “If you live in Solvang and a couple years ago you got an eye exam and prescription, you’d just get them at the same provider,” Harris said. “Now, if you get an eye exam and you need glasses, you can’t get them in Solvang. You have to go find someone who does a prescription.” Doug Major, a SLO County optometrist who’s involved in putting on annual vision screenings at elementary schools, told New Times that he’s concerned about how low-income families and their children will be able to access eye care in the future. Eye issues require intervention early on to avoid impacts to children’s academic progress and quality of life down the road, he said. “By the time they’re already 15, it’s too late. It’s a diagnosis that could’ve been made in Head Start,” Major said. “It’s so easy to do. Compared to all the other costly things, this is the cheapest and easiest, so make it accessible.” Major said he’s kept a close eye on the expansion of the CalPIA optical program—which he calls “somebody’s pet project”—and doesn’t believe it serves Medi-Cal members well or even saves the state money. “I’ve seen the rest of the state go down this path. The problem is, we’d be headed down the same path,” he said. “Once we lose the network, it’s going to be very difficult to get it back. This is something that could be fixed and should be fixed.” Δ

Becoming a goat girl “G oat girl” was a nickname that Beth Reynolds loathed. She received that moniker when she was in college working with goats at Cal Poly as part of her senior project in 2003. The project focused on the service goats provide to manage vegetation—aka targeted grazing, which involves accomplishing vegetation or landscaping goals by using a specific kind of livestock at a determined season, duration, and intensity. On top of observing the animals at work, Reynolds also learned to herd them and build fences for them. She worked alongside the herd’s owner, Howard Trew, who at the time was creating a fire break behind the Cal Poly dorms. When Reynolds completed her senior project and was preparing to graduate, she said Trew acknowledged her talent for the trade and nudged her to start her own ecological grazing and land management service. With a background in raising dairy goats and fresh experience in grazing, it was a no-brainer for Reynolds. In 2005, she purchased his goats and equipment to start the business, Green Goats, with the help of her parents. It was a challenge for Reynolds. She inherited customers who belonged to Trew, but bringing in new customers wasn’t easy, as neither the cost nor the concept were accepted. “It was like a joke. They would say, ‘You would ask us to pay to feed your goats?’” she said. Nevertheless, Reynolds knocked on doors and gave presentations. She eventually took time off from the business to teach in the Animal Science Department at Cal Poly. Reynolds was also encouraged to get on committees and participate in the sheep and goat industry. “I started to realize that I had this voice for this industry that’s called targeted grazing,” Reynolds said. In 2018, Reynolds teamed up with a Cal Poly graduate Catherine Ahsam to reinvigorate Green Goats, however it was difficult to associate the service with the business name because Reynolds’ nickname followed her. “Everywhere I went it was like, ‘Oh, you’re the goat girl.’ Finally one day I was on the corner of Foothill and Los Osos Valley Road at the Beth David Temple. I was out with my goats and I was building a fence, and somebody hung out of their window and yelled, ‘We love the goat girl,’” Reynolds said.

At that moment, she stopped fighting the name. She appreciated the remark and said she couldn’t have asked for better brand recognition. Now Goat Girls works on residential, business, city, and county properties throughout San Luis Obispo County. Reynolds said the grazing by her goats and sheep removes fuel and aids in fire reduction. “The impact their little hooves can have on stimulating the surface of the soil and helping to prevent erosion can increase native plant species in the area,” she said. The goats can also reach a lot of terrains that large machinery cannot. “I think that’s what drives me to really push this concept is that I see a lot of communities, especially in the state of California, where the terrain is really limited to other methods for fire reduction and so the fact that they can go down these steep canyons and clean up vegetation is a really cool opportunity,” Reynolds said. In January, Cal Fire recognized livestock-managed grazing as an official approved part of fuel reduction methods and vegetation management. The two women have added two more employees to their team and are encouraging interested individuals to reach out to them to learn more about their service.

Opinion We need Diablo

Fires are burning in California right now. These are global warming fires caused by vegetation getting insufficient rainfall. A lack of rainfall is caused by warming temperatures worldwide and locally. The primary cause of global warming worldwide is burning fossil fuels. California has wind and solar, but we need a carbon-free source of energy that is always on because sometimes the wind goes away and the sun always goes down. California has one nuclear plant left playing that vital “always on” role— Diablo Canyon Power Plant. But PG&E wants to close it. The reason: PG&E is a private business and there’s more money in replacing Diablo Canyon with natural gas plants. Another reason: Fossil fuel interests give millions in campaign donations to California politicians yearly. Utilities are required to do what’s good for people. So something good for politicians and good for profit, but bad for the climate and local health is going to be done with the closure of Diablo Canyon. Public utilities are supposed to be controlled by citizens through our democratic government. A utility that’s good for people should stay in place and the governor has the power to do that, but natural gas contributes to political campaigns. Call your state representative and tell him or her it’s not a good deal for you and your family, nor any family in California. You want Diablo Canyon to keep running. Tell the representative you want to know what he or she will do about it to help decide how you should vote in November. Say, “I vote for politicians who vote for what’s best for the people.” William Gloege Santa Maria

Liberty and justice for all

The Founding Fathers defined America very clearly, with powerful words that cannot be misunderstood, or changed. From the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence we read: “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among theses are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” And this is the opening of the Constitution: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” These words are essential to our society. If these words cease to have meaning, America is doomed. You must meditate on these words if you would be true to America. You must know and understand these words, and love them, and be loyal to their meaning and purpose, because these words are America. If you don’t love these words, you should go live elsewhere because only those who love these words, and are guided by them, belong in America. The final words of the Pledge of Allegiance are: “Liberty and justice for all.” If you have placed your hand on your heart, and uttered these words, you have taken a sacred oath, committing yourself to doing your part, to establish a society where all are free, and are treated with equal justice, and given equal opportunity to experience tranquility and happiness. You were not taking an oath of loyalty to your own happiness, but to the general

welfare of all Americans. You vowed to work for liberty and justice for all, not just for the lucky who can secure those blessings for themselves. You were not vowing to pursue your own happiness and personal well-being. These words of the founders of America placed its citizens in a contract with one another to establish unity, tranquility, and justice, and to promote the general welfare of all. We must live up to these words. David Higgins San Luis Obispo

We will miss you, Pepe Delgado’s

Much more than just a San Luis Obispo landmark and an excellent restaurant for nearly half a century, dating back to when they first opened in 1971, Pepe Delgado’s has always meant something very special to our family. Birthdays, anniversaries, and numerous other family celebrations were regularly marked, decade after decade, at Pepe’s. Our appreciation for Pepe’s quickly went far beyond the always fine quality items on their menu. My husband and myself, along with all seven of our children, and eventually, their own children, have regularly visited Pepe’s. As much for the quality food and ambiance, we loved Pepe’s also for the warmth and friendliness of the staff and management, many of whom have over time become very close to us. I will especially miss my own favorite menu items, but even more so, the dear friendships that developed between my husband and myself with Yvonne, Barbara, and Chuy. Goodbye, Pepe’s, and thanks so much to all for a greatly appreciated half-century of wonderful food, service, and memories. Gloria M. Williams & family SLO

Letters Teach a superhero

Superhero movies have been rampant in the last decade, many quite epic. They portray overcoming hardship, the struggle between good and evil, and fulfilling one’s potential in the face of difficulty. Lofty stuff to tackle with a young child. But you know what’s simple, what they all have in common? Adaptability. The ability to change, to make the best of things, and be the best they could be. Those with extra abilities practiced to make the most of their gifts. Those who weren’t “super” found a way to become more, whether via physical training or with technology and education. Your child has the same potential. Teach them that superheroes are all around us. That old man who feeds the pigeons at the park? His superpower is generosity. The firefighter who saves the house? His superpower is selflessness. And your child? They have the potential for infinite powers. Joy, kindness, laughter, intelligence, innovation, empathy, and imagination can be practiced daily. How many stories are there about people who were on the verge of doing something awful, but a kind word set them on a different path? Whose hope was restored by the gift of a simple meal? What discoveries were made by thinking in a different way? Kids love to feel special, and superheroes bring a sparkle to almost every little one’s eye. Coax out your child’s inner hero and train them to use their powers for good. Teach them to look at the world and see what needs fixing. Ask what they did for someone else that day. Model how you care for others. We need more kindness, and less carelessness; more education about recognizing and solving problems, and less indoctrination about what to think.

In July, Nic Mattson, co-editor/ publisher of Atascadero News and the Paso Robles Press, began his “House on Fire” commentaries. To read, go to the atascaderonews.com opinion section. His commentaries lack sources (a “guideline” required by the Atascadero News) and befriend the reader while he seeks to capture emotions. Plus, he uses a phrase from QAnon. The Atascadero News did not print at least one letter to the editor that was critical of “House on Fire.” Mr. Mattson also announced a run for the Atascadero City Council. The Mattsons are co-editors of the Atascadero News and the Paso Press. As “journalists” neither should run for public office to avoid having conflicts of interest of any kind, and ideally, they would officially sign over the opinion column to another impartial editor during a campaign. I resigned as a voluntary commentariat in my last commentary due for print on Aug. 27, expressing freedom of the press issues. My commentary was not printed without notice to me. Several commentary writers reached out to other press about these issues and were contacted by New Times, which gave Mr. Mattson an opportunity to defend his opinion columns (“Atascadero City Council candidate defends opinion column,” Aug. 20). One of us gave his name and has been dismissed by Mrs. Mattson who mistakes truth and criticism as “misinformation.” Lee Perkins Atascadero

toward security for all Americans. That’s protection of the family. Under Trump’s phantom response to the virus, an estimated 5.4 million American workers lost their health insurance. Biden proposes that, for the duration of the pandemic, the government would provide insurance for people who recently lost job-based coverage. Biden believes that a moral government rescues citizens from disaster. Biden’s Day 1 to-do list includes rejoining the historic Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and keep the global temperature from rising above a life-killing 1.5 degrees Celsius. Climate activists agree that Biden’s plan is the most ambitious from any president in history—which is no less than what the planet’s survival calls for. The Biden climate plan embraces environmental justice and job creation. “When I think about climate change, the word I think of is ‘jobs,’ ” he says, pointing out how his proposal would create millions of jobs in electric vehicle manufacturing, upgrading buildings, and cleaning pollution created by the fossil fuel industry. The Biden climate platform seeks to reestablish a “democracy of opportunity” through a green economy, and through his plans to invest in early education, bring down college costs, finance affordable housing, and establish a $15 minimum wage. Right-wing doubters—who never worry about federal debt when they get their monumental tax breaks—will ask how he’ll pay for it. Biden will reverse the exorbitant tax cuts of the 1-percenters. And not one penny will come from the middle class or below. FDR labeled the 1 percent plutocrats as “the privileged princes of new economic dynasties” who “thirst for … control of government itself.” This same class of economic tyrannists become hysterical at Biden’s proposals because they chip away at their riches and power. But don’t be fooled by their Trumpist rhetoric. FDR pledged to “restore to the people a wider freedom … and American way of life.” Where would American senior citizens be today without Social Security or Medicare? Seriously. Economic royalists opposed those crucial proposals in FDR’s time just as they oppose Biden’s proposals now. In FDR’s famous speech, he said, “To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected.” This is it, folks. We must choose a president who is actually up to the prodigious task, who can rally us together to lead this generation of Americans beyond the selfish goals of the howling privileged in order to guarantee a world for our progeny while living up to our democratic ideals of justice. We must elect an effectual president and Congress. We must face our own “rendezvous with destiny.” ∆

he brave and clear platform adopted by this convention … sets forth that government in a modern civilization has certain inescapable obligations to its citizens, among which are protection of the family and the home, the establishment of a democracy of opportunity, and aid to those overtaken by disaster.” Could these words have been spoken at the roiling, angry, divisive Republican National Convention last week? The answer is no. Why not? Because it’s a trick question: the Republicans have no platform. Literally, no platform. In the face of a devastating pandemic, more than 180,000 American deaths, economic disaster, crushing unemployment, ferocious storms unleashed by a worsening climate crisis, and civil unrest sparked by vicious systemic racism, the RNC dispensed altogether with articulating a vision and establishing priorities for our future. They chose, instead, to fawn over the whims of Donald Trump, who cannot even be called a standard-bearer because he has no standards, no moral clarity or dignity. And no plans for the future. The quote is from Franklin Roosevelt’s acceptance speech at the 1936 Democratic convention. Like today, it was a “time of great moment,” an inflection point in which the everyday lives of all Americans were reordered by a confluence of profound challenges. To meet the moment and deliver on the American promise, government must be founded on moral principles, Roosevelt declared. “In the place of privilege, we seek to build a temple out of faith and hope and charity.” Joe Biden may not be the orator FDR was (although he gave a soaring acceptance speech of his own), but he embodies the core principles of FDR. To meet the gravest of moments in our history, Biden has outlined an actual, workable platform drawn from a broad coalition across the Democratic Party. Make no mistake, whether you view the platform from the left or the right, it shakes—it must shake—the foundations of grossly disproportionate power and privilege in order to bring about a more perfect American union of justice, freedom, security—and outright survival. How does Biden propose to meet the moment? For one thing, his platform confronts the pandemic Trump once called a hoax. At the RNC, the head of Trump’s Economic Council had the temerity to talk about it in the past tense. Yet Americans are dying as I write. What will the death toll be on Nov. 3—200,000 plus? Day 1 of the Biden presidency will initiate an aggressive, coordinated attack on COVID-19, including rampedup testing and improved COVID-19 surveillance by revamping insurance claims data. Biden’s approach puts science—not politics—at the heart of this war effort. He will bolster the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid. He’ll offer a public option as a step to universal health care, leading

But then again, perhaps that’s because his thoughts are just too high and mighty for my vulgar shredding capabilities. Or maybe, it’s because this particular candidate for the 24th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives is too busy “defending American liberty” to try to make any sense. Have you seen his press releases? Yeah, they don’t really include much information. Just rambling epithets about U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, you know, that dude Caldwell is running against. Here are the headlines: “Salud’s Postal Protest is a Sham.” “Carbajal’s verbal gymnastics lack candor.” I can just hear the whine in Caldwell’s voice as I read the lines. The press releases include quotes from the man himself— that’s Caldwell, aka America’s Army of One, in case you were wondering. And meandering statements that don’t really give readers a clue about the instances they’re meant to be up in arms about! That postal one yells about Carbajal without actually describing this supposed postal protest or where it took place, other than a brief mention of some U.S. Postal Service box on Patterson—no mention of what city or town. In the other one, Caldwell goes off the rails about the BREATHE Act without actually describing it. So, you know, the less you

know, the less you need to know! All you really need to know is this: “Carbajal, bad!” It’s “heady stuff,” to use Caldwell’s own descriptor from a speech he gave to what he called “the best Republican club in the whole entire region.” And yes, that club is a favorite among SLO County’s conservative players club. That ol’ Atascadero standby, where the Republican Party of San Luis Obispo County is headquartered and spoken to by the elected elite—including SLO County Sheriff Ian “Racism Doesn’t Exist Here” Parkinson and District Attorney Dan “God Before State Law” Dow—and their wannabe elected not-so-elite counterparts— America’s Army of One, for starters. Unless you’re a Trump-loving clingon touting the family, faith, and country motto, you should probably steer clear. So I haven’t been invited to attend any meetings. I know, weird, right? But Caldwell’s little press releases link to his YouTube channel! So I clicked! Yeah. He got me. I regret everything. In a meandering ramble that’s above my pay grade to interpret, he said he believes that the disintegration of the nuclear family led to the disintegration of our inner cities, which gave rise to the Black Lives Matter movement and is destroying America because socialists, anarchists, and globalists have formed an unholy alliance with China and George Soros. Are you following me?

No? Yeah. I watched all 16 minutes of his speech, which included references to The Smithsonian (Bad!) and his favorite professor James Kurth (Conservative author and political scientist, good!), and I still don’t get it. “Empires come and go,” he told his people. “What we are seeing right now could be nothing else than the end of the American empire.” And guess what? “It’s been happening since the 1960s.” Oh my god. I think I rolled my eyes into the next dimension. He’s been holding on to all of this angst about our country since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed! This is America! Where we discriminate against everyone who isn’t like us! We can’t outlaw discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin simply because people were protesting about it. Protesters ruined this country! And they have nothing to complain about! Bunch of goddamn liberal progressives whining about civil rights! People just need to stick to faith, family, and country so the Empire can Strike Back. Obviously. Only Caldwell can wield the lightsaber with the proper authority because he truly understands what the Framers meant by, “We hold these truths to be self-evident” in the Declaration of Independence.

Although, he wasn’t candid about what it actually meant. He merely repeated it several times without speaking the rest of the statement: “ … that all men are created equal … .” Yes. I should have known better than to travel down Caldwell’s little rabbit hole of propaganda. But I feel much better with the knowledge that I gained about how well this particular candidate for office can explain his points—not very well. He keeps bitching about how Carbajal won’t debate him. What a shitshow that would be, amirite? I’m totally in! Meanwhile, I think everyone needs to understand that, like that guy who unfortunately inhabits the White House, I, too, believe that there are idiots on both sides. A very upset SLO County resident left a message at the New Times office about mail-in ballots. This man apparently made such a stink in the local post office that he had security called on him. No, it wasn’t Carbajal! He lives in Washington, D.C./Santa Barbara, silly! This caller was very upset that he couldn’t get any information from the U.S. Postal Service staffers about just where he could get a mail-in ballot. Well, let me explain. The post office is only responsible for conveying the mail-in ballot from the sender to the receiver. In SLO County, that sender is the SLO County Clerk-Recorder’s Office, aka the office responsible for local elections. Dude. Do your research before you rant. Seriously. ∆ The Shredder is a candid idiot. Send rants to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

ou know the warm fuzzy feeling you get listening to ’70s ABBA songs? You get it again listening to Fialta’s awesome new single “Modern Hero,” which they released on Sept. 1. “When we wrote and recorded this song over a year ago, we were in a very different mental space than we are now,” Beth Leibovich, lead singer on the track, said. “The lyrics are about discontentment with many aspects of modern life—tech bro culture, Instagram, online dating, the seemingly endless malaise experienced by millennials who are now in their 30s. We’re mocking ourselves a bit here. We contrasted the theme of the song musically with a retro, throw-back disco vibe. We’re big fans of Scandinavian power pop.” You can definitely hear ABBA’s influence. “The comparison comes up a AMERICAN ABBA Local pop act Fialta, lot,” Michael Leibovich (keyboards, featuring two married couples like Swedish trumpets) said. “We thought, what pop icons ABBA, just released an amazing the hell, let’s lean into that. The new single, “Modern Hero,” available on most harmonies, the spoken word bridge, streaming services. the horns—it’s a bit shameless.

Limited seating in The Pines! Remember live shows? Well, one’s coming thanks to a bit of a loophole. Next Saturday, Sept. 12, from 2 to 4 p.m., Mary Anne Anderson will perform a concert of jazz favorites “plus a few surprises,” she says, with guitarist Doug MacDonald, bassist Dylan Johnson, and drummer Darrell Voss. Anderson’s billing it as “Jazzin’ Around in The Pines,” an outdoor, socially distanced, neighborhood concert and safe mingle. Limited to 60 people at a private residence, there’s enough space to sit 6 feet apart, and attendees are asked to bring their own seating to set up on a woodchip-covered, slightly sloped area. The “donations-only” concert requires an RSVP, so call (508) 951-7370 or email ccatuna@gmail.com to secure your spot. All donations go to the musicians. Please note that you must wear masks in traffic areas and when mingling with others and using the toilets. You may bring your own beverages and food but please discard properly. Walking shoes and layers of clothing are recommended in case of temperature changes. Have respect for others and their space. There’s absolutely no smoking on the property. Anderson is a terrific entertainer, and her backing band is made up of the area’s top players. She performs regularly on both the Central Coast and Maui, her second home. “We usually spend summers on Maui, but due to the travel restrictions, we’ve sheltered in place in Cambria,” she explained. “I’ve kept busy with writing projects—a new book of COVID poetry— but the urge to perform was driving me stir-crazy until I met Cornel Catuna, owner of one of the most beautiful estates in town. I’m thrilled to hire great musicians who have been hard-pressed for work and are now starting to come out to play. We encourage locals and visitors to enjoy soothing music in a lovely setting.” Reserve your spot now before they’re gone!

Clark Center Date Night

“Saturday Date Night with the Clark Center” continues this Saturday, Sept. 5, from 6 to 7 p.m., with a “Cabaret Country” by Ynana Rose, a video replay of her performance at KCBX’s Live Oak on the Radio. It’s been shown only once before, and donations received during its transmission will be split between the performer and the Clark Center.

Land was born and raised in SLO, son of a country-singer mother who began giving him vocal lessons at age 5. “In his childhood years, the Salinas River in Templeton was his backyard where he began writing original songs on an acoustic guitar,” according to Land’s bio. “After years of traveling off and on to perform and developing a strong fan base, Chad moved to Los Angeles to spend time recording. “He worked in studios such as Sage and Sound, Gauge Studios, and more while performing shows at The Roxy, Viper Room, and many other clubs along the Hollywood strip in his rock band The Axia,” his bio continued. “In 2018, Chad opened up a recording studio in his hometown and has been helping other artists record albums along with writing new music that he’s currently submitting to television ads, radio, and publishing companies.” Check him out! ∆ Contact Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Local artisans contribute handcrafted pottery to ninth annual Empty Bowls fundraiser

Patrons of the ninth annual Empty Bowls fundraiser, previously a traditional luncheon event, will be able to pick up their soup— served in handcrafted bowls that customers get to keep—on three different dates, from three different venues: St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Arroyo Grande on Saturday, Sept. 12; New Life Community Church in Pismo Beach on Saturday, Sept. 19; and the Trilogy Monarch Activity Center in Nipomo, on Saturday, Sept. 26.

Disaster reimagined Local authors breathe new life into old history

“H

aines turned back to look. Through the fog he could not see the sailors. He could barely see the damaged stern rising up from the water, stilled propellers exposed—and something floating beneath them. A body? “‘Jack?’ Haines said. His voice no more than a whisper. He knew the answer. He knew there would be no reply. He knew what he had to do. There was no need to think twice, not even an urge to do so. “It was too far to paddle back quickly in the ungainly raft, and so he kicked off his shoes and dove beneath the waves and swam.” So reads a section of the new historical fiction book Dead Reckoning, which reimagines the infamous Honda Point disaster, just released by Baaa! Press. “On Sept. 8, 1923, seven ships of the U.S. Navy’s Destroyer Squadron 11, led by Commodore Edward H. Watson on board the flagship USS Delphy, bore full speed into a treacherous section of California coastline informally known as Honda Point,” press materials explained. “Traveling south in single file ‘follow the leader’ formation, the ships were attempting a turn into the Santa Barbara Channel at night in heavy fog. They missed by several miles. One after another, in a span of just minutes, the destroyers jammed themselves to the rugged rocks that would be their fate. It was among the worst peacetime disasters in Navy history.” Twenty-three young men lost their lives that night, and in Cal Poly grad Michael Corbin Ray’s new book, co-written with his longtime writing partner, Therese Vannier, they explore the terrible event using a mix of the real people involved as well as fictionalized characters. Written with a cinematic flare, Dead Reckoning makes history come to life, transporting readers

HE SAID Cal Poly graduate Michael Corbin Ray co-authored Dead Reckoning with Therese Vannier. “We wrote our first screenplay together way back when we were still living in Morro Bay,” he said.

Meet the authors

Co-writers Michael Corbin Ray and Therese Vannier will sign copies of their new historical fiction book Dead Reckoning, which chronicles the infamous 1923 Honda Point naval disaster, on Saturday, Sept. 12, in Coalesce Bookstore in Morro Bay from 1 to 3 p.m. If you happen to find yourself in Lompoc on Saturday, Sept. 5, they’ll also be signing books at the Lompoc Veterans Memorial Building outside, in front of the propeller and shaft of the USS Delphy, one of the ships that ran aground during the disaster. While there, the Vets Hall will have the doors open to view a painting of the disaster made by Fulton Leroy Washington, a former Lompoc Prison inmate wrongfully convicted of a drug crime and eventually pardoned by President Obama, who will also attend the 10 a.m. to noon signing. The Lompoc Vets Hall is located at 100 E. Locust Ave.

to Prohibition-era California and breathing life into historical figures long dead but resurrected through a lucid and period-correct reimagining of their thoughts and actions. It feels like you’re reading a gripping novel, but Ray and Vannier pored through all the accounts they could find of the accident to give it historical accuracy. They even studied the customs and slang of the time to make the dialogue as realistic as possible. It’s a propulsive read that’s over all too quickly, and afterward, you’ll feel like you lived through the disaster yourself and got to know the people involved. Though currently living in the Santa Ynez Valley, both the authors have SLO County ties. Ray attended Cal Poly and was just his senior project away from an English degree when he abruptly switched to ecology and systematic biology. He met Vannier, who had studied marine biology at UCSB and Cal State Long Beach, when they both worked at the SLO Tribune in 1997. They had a small design and marketing business in San Luis Obispo for a while, but in the early 2000s, they headed to LA with dreams of getting a screenplay produced. “We wrote our first screenplay together way back when we were still living in Morro Bay,” Ray recalled. “It was inspired by a bad dream. We should have taken that as a warning. It remains unproduced.” They kept writing, eventually turning to books. Dead Reckoning is their second published book after The Long Way, their 2013 historical fantasy about the 19th century Chinese opium wars. “Mike and I have been besties since we met at The Tribune,” Vannier explained. “We hiked across Spain together, circumnavigated Mont Blanc a couple of years ago.” The two friends SHE SAID Co-author Therese share a house with Vannier and her writing partner, another roommate Michael Corbin Ray, now live in the Santa Ynez Valley, where she uses in a “commune” like her “amateur banjo-plucking skills environment, where to serenade four big brown dogs Vannier says she uses through these long pandemic days.” her “amateur banjo-

plucking skills to serenade four big brown dogs through these long pandemic days.” Perhaps one of the reasons Dead Reckoning has such a cinematic feel is the pair’s interest in screenplay writing, and also because Vannier is a lifelong learner. “I’ve indulged in many community college courses—astronomy, book arts, live art,” she said. “I get off on learning new stuff. My latest class was a film studies class at Santa Barbara City College. Roger Durling, executive director of Santa Barbara International Film Festival, was a fantastic instructor.” They clearly share a love of storytelling, but they come at it from different perspectives. Vannier says she “was raised on a diet of schlocky horror and martial arts movies from the ’70s, while Michael served time as an English major and occasionally aspires to commit literature.” She says their writing process often “devolves into an argument over how much blood is too much blood.” Despite their better judgement and fully aware of the long odds of seeing it produced, Ray and Vannier are again working on screenplay. “Anybody have a few spare tens of millions of dollars lying around [to produce it]?” Vannier quipped. In the meantime, they say they’ll continue to write books. “We have a big backlog of stories to tell in this newfangled format,” Vannier said. ∆ Contact Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Split Screen

A not excellent three-quel

ean Parisot (Home Fries, Galaxy Quest) directs this third installment in the Bill & Ted buddy-comedy-scifi series about two metalhead slackers— Bill S. Preston Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted Theodore Logan (Keanu Reeves)—who travel through time in the first two films. Idiotic teenagers in the 1989 original, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, they’re now middle-aged adults with daughters, and they come to the realization that they’ve yet to create the music that will inspire the utopian future that set off their original adventure. (88 min.) Glen I may have come into this film with both dreams of wistful nostalgia and unreasonable expectations. After all, the premise is pretty ridiculous. In the first installment, the bros were at risk of flunking out of high school, so “the future” sent Rufus (George Carlin) back in time to help them learn history from the people who make it, like Napoleon, Freud, and “So-crates.” You see, the people of the future told Bill and Ted that their band Wyld Stallyns would someday create music that would unite the world and usher in a utopian society. Instead, the band has fallen apart and the friends are playing near-empty gigs at a Moose Lodge. They’re still married to Joanna (Jayma Mays) and Elizabeth (Erinn Hayes), the medieval princesses they met in the first film, but their ladies aren’t too happy with them, dragging them to couples therapy. About the only people who still believe in them are their daughters, Thea (Samara Weaving) and Billie (Brigitte Lundy-Paine), apples who didn’t fall far from their fathers’ trees. This time around, “the future” sends Rufus’ daughter Kelly (Kristen Schaal) to inform the boys they have 77 minutes to write their world-uniting song before space, time, and reality itself collapses. The pals jump in Rufus’ old phone booth and begin jumping into the future to find themselves after they’ve already written the song so they can bring it back to the present and write it. Makes sense, right? Right? Anna It’s definitely a film built on the nostalgia of its earlier counterparts, the first of which became a cult classic and was a truly fun ride, the second of which was not as great but pretty inevitable

given the success of the first. This time around the two knuckleheads are still their old selves, just a bit older and more washed up. Storywise, the whole film is set up as a countdown—the two have just a couple of hours to get their epic, worlduniting song together. Their leaps into the future soon reveal that if they don’t get their act together, they’ll lose their dear wives as well as rain doom upon the rest of humanity. It’s a silly romp, and perhaps not a laugh-out-loud ride, but a chuckle-inducing and eye-rolling adventure. Should I have popped an edible or two beforehand to help the experience along? Probably. Nevertheless, it’s fun to see these two reprise their roles as idiot heroes with the added twist of their two daughters along for the adventure. Glen The best laughs come from Dennis Caleb McCoy (Anthony Carrigan), a poorly functioning robot sent to kill Bill and Ted. Dennis is named after one of Kelly’s loser ex-boyfriends by her mom, The Great Leader (Holland Taylor), who hopes killing Bill and Ted will reverse the reality collapse. The other laugh inducer is William Sadler, who reprises his roll as Death, who Bill and Ted outsmarted in an earlier film. Death is despondent that they

doesn’t focus on whether the practice is either right or wrong, but what the thinking is behind it and what the problematic elements are. What scientific evidence is there to support the claims by ardent supporters of these practices? Typically, not much. While it is unknown whether or not some of these practices help, what is known is they certainly can hurt. One episode focuses on fasting, specifically long bouts of water-only fasting. A woman who lost her husband after he attended a non-medically supervised fasting clinic—which is still in operation today—recalls her nightmare and the blatant refusal of the center to take any responsibility. This series is a fascinating look at some pretty bizarre lengths people go in hopes of feeling good. (six 45-min. episodes) —Anna

kicked him out of Wyld Stallyns because of his 40-minute bass solos. If you’ve seen the trailer, you know Thea and Billie try to help their dads by fetching from the past and enlisting Jimi Hendrix (DazMann Still), Louis Armstrong (Jeremiah Craft), Mozart (Daniel Dorr), and others to join their dads’ band. It all culminates in chaos as time and space destabilize, but this is a feel-good comedy, so you know the outcome is never in doubt. It currently costs $19.99 to on-demand stream. That’s too much. Wait for it to come to Redbox for $1.75. Anna I agree, this one is a better value at a lower price point. It’s a quick hourand-a-half flick, so the silliness doesn’t get bogged down too badly. Dennis is definitely a welcome bit of comedy; there’s only so much that rehashing the roles of Bill and Ted can do to keep things interesting. They travel to hell after Dennis lasers them out of existence, and while Bill and Ted get sidetracked by trying to fix their own futures, Thea and Billie are on a mission to put the band together. It’s a bunch of nonsense, but it’s not the worst nonsense I’ve seen. If you don’t mind putting your brain on hold for a bit and letting a little ridiculousness into your headspace, this may be a fun 90 minutes, but I probably won’t be revisiting this one. If anything, I’ll go back and watch the first film for that dose of nostalgia. ∆ Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and freelancer Anna Starkey write Split Screen. Glen compiles streaming listings.

Unencumbered by police procedure, they do what world-weary Avery wishes he could: kill ’em all and let God sort ’em out. Is it a fine film? Not especially. I missed it when it was released because it was a straight-to-DVD rental two years ago when I could still go to the theater where the good films are. That said, it’s actually kind of decent, and while the emotional stakes aren’t as high as, say, Taken (2008), it’s a fun action romp. (86 min.) ∆ —Glen

Fresh-baked mission Bread Bike strives to build community through good health and love for the environment

he Bread Bike concept is so simple, it’s genius. Mariah Grady, who loves to bake bread as much as San Luis Obisbans love to smell it along Higuera Street, revs up her apron around 4 a.m. to start baking. As soon as her gorgeous loaves and scones come out of the oven, Sam DeNicola, who loves his community, the environment, and riding his bicycle, loads up his bike trailer and rides from house to house delivering bread. When I heard about Bread Bike, my heart was filled with romance. I mean bread coming to me on a bike? Well, I guess life ain’t so bad! In the time of coronavirus, this pure union of bread baking and doorstep delivery is something that makes the world a little happier. In fact, the coowners say the bread is almost secondary to their mission to unite the community in good health and personal connection. Bread Bike’s fresh breads are always delicious and ever-changing. California Country Loaf. Sesame and durum. Ancient grains and toasted pumpkin seed. Sunflower, flax, and spelt. You name it, they’ve made it rise in SLO! All are made with 100 percent organic flours and grains and fermented with a 12-year-old sourdough culture from Sonoma County, where DeNicola grew up and where Grady learned how to bake bread. The co-owning pair prefers working with regional growers and millers, choosing the highest quality, California-grown bread flour. “To me it’s so important to know where our food comes from, to know who is making our food and how the food is being made,” DeNicola said. “As we grow, we actually gain the ability to support local growers and small growers.” He said the value of buying local comes through in both better flavor and in terms of keeping the planet healthy. “Spending money on food is the easiest thing I do because I understand there’s no one in the food world getting rich,” he said. “Everyone is working extremely hard, but I think that understanding is really lacking in our culture. If something is cheap, there’s a reason it’s cheap.” When DeNicola delivers, he sometimes ends up clocking in some porch time. He doesn’t mind. He admits he likes to talk, and he realized—especially at the beginning of the shutdowns—that people miss connecting with others. He said there were times when a onehour delivery run would take four, just because so many people needed to visit with a fellow human. The bread is bagged. He’s wearing a mask. He sets the bread down on the doorstep and knocks. If he’s in a rush, he flits off to his next delivery, but sometimes he keeps a distance and

Unity and bread

You can order bread for pickup at slobreadbike.com or join the Community Supported Bakery (CSB) as a weekly or bi-weekly subscriber. All breads are delivered by bike the day they are baked. Santa Maria-based Blosser Urban Garden organic veggie and fruit CSA can add a loaf of their weekly rustic bread to their box. Sign up with promo code breadbike to get $10 off your first delivery. Bread bike is located at 570 Higuera St., SLO. Call (707) 775-8839 or email slobreadbike@gmail.com for more info. BREAD MAGIC Mariah Grady, co-owner of Bread Bike (seen here before she shaved her head), is all about creating magic. The SLO native never tires of baking (and sampling) every loaf that comes out of the oven.

stays for a chat. Seeing the people of SLO is his favorite part of the job. “I feel safe. I hope other people feel safe. Especially in the very beginning [of COVID-19], it was just so awesome to see everyone. Everyone was just so grateful that I was there, and I could see how excited they were about that social interaction,” DeNicola said. DeNicola, 28, is a baker, biker, health food lover, and co-owner of Bread Bike. He said he’s been “playing with dough” and making breads, pizzas, and pastas for the past eight years. DeNicola has never tried Cocoa Puffs, and he wouldn’t even want to. He was raised organic. His mother, a nutritionist and healing foods cookbook author, was one of his big inspirations in his passion for cooking. But he really wet his feet when going to UC Berkeley for his geophysics degree. Which geophysics class teaches bread baking, you ask? Well, none. It so happened that DeNicola was given the momentous task of feeding his housemates in a 50-person, coed, co-op house while going to UC Berkeley. There, as head cook and food buyer (with $100,000 yearly budget), he began making pizza and concocting kombucha. He tended to chickens and even, as a lifelong vegetarian, stepped out of his comfort zone and purchased cow shares

from local ranchers. Despite that accomplishment, he entered the rat race for a couple of years after college as a software engineer. His dream had always been to turn his baking into a way of sustaining himself, and he never stopped baking and cooking for all his friends. Later on down the road, he was peddling loaves on a lawn at Cal Poly, and his bread business sparked by word of mouth. Soon, Cal Poly was adding his loaves to its CSA boxes and people were checking out the daily baked goods on Instagram. Bread Bike began a year ago. The concept of building a mobile sliced-bread and pastry cafe powered by bikes evolved into its current state as a community supported bakery (CSB) and pop-up bread stand at places like Etto Pastificio in Paso Robles’ Tin City or Lincoln Market & Deli in SLO. As of the end of August, Bread Bike had 168 CSB members! DeNicola brought in Grady as a coowner of the Bread Bike family in April. She grew up in SLO but was working at a bakery in Sonoma when her friend DeNicola “nagged” her to join forces and come back to SLO. She said with the whole coronavirus business, she gave in to his pleas. She needed a “reset.” DeNicola and Grady are on the same baking rack with a shared goal to both feed and get to know as many people they can in the community. “At our core, we are both bakers and bikers,” Grady said, though she added that they divvied up the responsibilities. At the moment, she spends most of her time baking, but they want her to get out on the bike more to meet the customers.

“The reality is Mariah loves bread and baking more than anyone that I’ve ever seen,” DeNicola said as Grady giggled. “And it’s kind of insane and ridiculous.” Apparently she never gets tired of her loaves and insists on tasting every batch every day. Every baguette batch must be tested and cherished. DeNicola said yes, he has a bread baking business and loves bread, but Grady takes it to a “whole other level.” Grady has been a lifetime lover of baking and eating baked goods. Some of her lucky neighbors were privileged to try her fresh baked lemon squares and homemade toaster pastries, as her contributions to the world seem to center on joy and delight. After graduating with a biology degree from Santa Clara University, she took her first baking position at Sally Loo’s Wholesome Cafe in SLO. Grady has worked in other bakeries, but she’ll tell you, she learned the majority of her skills baking bread in a wood-fired oven at Nightingale Breads in Sonoma. Bread Bike rents a commercial kitchen space at Joliene Bakery in the Creamery. DeNicola said his customers are young and old, families and friends. The business is growing, and they are working on building bigger trailers to serve more community members by bike. “There are reasons we ride bikes, the simplest being that we want to replace cars, … but then there’s also this beautiful reason, which has to do with our whole mission: To create community,” DeNicola said. “And when you’re on a bike, you’re next to everyone, and people can talk to you and you can stop, and it just kind of slows it down a little bit to the pace where you can connect with people. … I think that’s what I found is the best part of Bread Bike.” ∆ Flavor writer Beth Giuffre is baking and biking.

KENNEDY be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: September 8, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm St., Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Petitioner: Jennifer L. Kennedy 1327 Tanglewood Dr. San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 August 20, 27, & September 3, 2020

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): “A new idea is rarely born like Venus attended by graces. More commonly it’s modeled of baling wire and acne. More commonly it wheezes and tips over.” Those words were written by Aries author Marge Piercy, who has been a fount of good new ideas in the course of her career. I regard her as an expert in generating wheezy, fragile breakthroughs and ultimately turning them into shiny, solid beacons of revelation. Your assignment in the coming weeks, Aries, is to do as Piercy has done so well.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I propose we resurrect the old English word “museful.” First used in the 17th century but then forgotten, it meant “deeply thoughtful; pensive.” In our newly coined use, it refers to a condition wherein a person is abundantly inspired by the presence of the muse. I further suggest that we invoke this term to apply to you Libras in the coming weeks. You potentially have a high likelihood of intense communion with your muses. There’s also a good chance you’ll engage with a new muse or two. What will you do with all of this illumination and stimulation?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Every day I discover even more beautiful things,” said painter Claude Monet. “It is intoxicating me, and I want to paint it all. My head is bursting.” That might seem like an extreme state to many of us. But Monet was a specialist in the art of seeing. He trained himself to be alert for exquisite sights. So his receptivity to the constant flow of loveliness came naturally to him. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I think that in the coming weeks, you could rise closer to a Monet-like level of sensitivity to beauty. Would that be interesting to you? If so, unleash yourself! Make it a priority to look for charm, elegance, grace, delight, and dazzlement.

(May 21-June 20): Author Renata Adler describes a time in her life when she began to notice blue triangles on her feet. She was wracked with fear that they were a symptom of leukemia. But after a period of intense anxiety, she realized one fine day that they had a different cause. She writes: “Whenever I, walking barefoot, put out the garbage on the landing, I held the apartment door open, bending over from the rear. The door would cross a bit over the tops of my feet”—leaving triangular bruises. Upon realizing this very good news, she says, “I took a celebrational nap.” From what I can tell, Gemini, you’re due for a series of celebrational naps—both because of worries that turn out to be unfounded and because you need a concentrated period of recharging your energy reserves.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Of all the mournful impacts the pandemic has had, one of the most devastating is that it has diminished our opportunities to touch and be touched by other humans. Many of us are starved of the routine, regular contact we had previously taken for granted. I look forward to the time when we can again feel uninhibited about shaking hands, hugging, and patting friends on the arm or shoulder. In the meantime, how can you cope? This issue is extra crucial for you Leos to meditate on right now. Can you massage yourself? Seek extra tactile contact with animals? Hug trees? Figure out how to physically connect with people while wearing hazmat suits, gloves, masks, and face shields? What else?

(June 21-July 22): “I like people who refuse to speak until they are ready to speak,” proclaimed Cancerian author Lillian Hellman. I feel the same way. So often people have nothing interesting or important to say, but say it anyway. I’ve done that myself! The uninteresting and unimportant words I have uttered are too numerous to count. The good news for me and all of my fellow Cancerians is that in the coming weeks we are far more likely than usual to not speak until we are ready to speak. According to my analysis of the astrological potentials, we are poised to express ourselves with clarity, authenticity, and maximum impact.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Like any art, the creation of self is both natural and seemingly impossible,” says singer-songwriter Holly Near. “It requires training as well as magic.” How are you doing on that score, Virgo? Now is a favorable time to intensify your long-term art project of creating the healthiest, smartest version of yourself. I think it will feel quite natural and not-at-all impossible. In the coming weeks, you’ll have a finely tuned intuitive sense of how to proceed with flair. Start by imagining the Most Beautiful You.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Each of us has a “soul’s code”: a metaphorical blueprint of the beautiful person we could become by fulfilling our destiny. If our soul’s code remains largely dormant, it will agitate and disorient us. If, on the other hand, we perfectly actualize our soul’s code, we will feel at home in the world; all our experiences will feel meaningful. The practical fact is that most of us have made some progress in manifesting our soul’s code, but still have a way to go before we fully actualize it. Here’s the good news: You Scorpios are in a phase of your cycle when you could make dramatic advances in this glorious work. (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Life is the only game in which the object of the game is to learn the rules,” observes Sagittarian author Ashleigh Brilliant. According to my research, you have made excellent progress in this quest during the last few weeks—and will continue your good work in the next six weeks. Give yourself an award! Buy yourself a trophy! You have discovered at least two rules that were previously unknown to you, and you have also ripened your understanding of another rule that had previously been barely comprehensible. Be alert for more breakthroughs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “If you’re not lost, you’re not much of an explorer,” said rambunctious activist and author John Perry Barlow. Adding to his formulation, I’ll say that if you want to be a successful explorer, it’s crucial to get lost on some occasions. And according to my analysis, now is just such a time for you Capricorns. The new territory you have been brave enough to reconnoiter should be richly unfamiliar. The possibilities you have been daring enough to consider should be provocatively unpredictable. Keep going, my dear! That’s the best way to become un-lost.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Dreams really tell you about yourself more than anything else in this world could ever tell you,” said psychic Sylvia Browne. She was referring to the mysterious stories that unfold in our minds as we sleep. I agree with her assessment of dreams’ power to show us who we really are all the way down to the core of our souls. What Browne didn’t mention, however, is that it takes knowledge and training to become proficient in deciphering dreams’ revelations. Their mode of communication is unique—and unlike every other source of teaching. I bring this up, Aquarius, because the coming months will be a favorable time for you to become more skilled in understanding your dreams.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In June 1876, warriors from three Indian tribes defeated U.S. troops led by Gen. George Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn in Montana. It was an iconic victory in what was ultimately a losing battle to prevent conquest by the ever-expanding American empire. One of the tribes that fought that day was the Northern Cheyenne. Out of fear of punishment by the U.S. government, its leaders waited 130 years to tell its side of the story about what happened. New evidence emerged then, such as the fact that the only woman warrior in the fight, Buffalo Calf Road Woman, killed Custer himself. I offer this tale as an inspiration for you Pisceans to tell your story about events that you’ve kept silent about for too long. ∆
