Gunmen at Arroyo Grande protest spark controversy and police investigation

undreds of thousands of Americans spent the last two weeks protesting police brutality and racism in response to the death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd. SLO County protesters have been met with everything from tear gas and boarded-up businesses to solidarity and support. In Arroyo Grande, protesters faced something else: gunmen. As a few hundred protesters marched through Grover Beach and Arroyo Grande to support the Black Lives Matter movement on June 5, at least three men armed with guns stood on the rooftops of two nearby businesses, The Pit Martial Arts and Fitness and Grand Barbers. Although the protest carried on and ended peacefully without incident, the situation ignited an impassioned debate about First and Second Amendment rights among SLO County residents. Dozens of community members called in to an Arroyo Grande City Council meeting on June 9 to share their thoughts on the issue; many condemned the gunmen and questioned the legality of their actions. “People are allowed to possess weapons inside their homes and businesses,” caller Chris Cummings said at the June 9 meeting. “However, there are many things people can do inside that are illegal in less private areas. For example, San Luis Obispo County law enforcement often arrest people on private property but in an area open to public view for being intoxicated. That’s called drunk in public. This serves a public purpose of not subjecting the public to an individual’s obnoxious behavior.” “Those men that were on the roof served to provoke a violent response,” Cummings continued. “Or if not violent, at least a feeling of abuse or intimidation in an otherwise civil society. How are people to know who those men were and when they might start shooting?” But owners of the businesses say they were within their rights to protect their property from the looting, vandalism, and violence that

In a video posted to The Pit’s Facebook page on June 8, owner John Hackleman said that a number of recent protests that started peacefully spiraled into or made way for violence and destruction, even in areas as close to Arroyo Grande as Santa Maria.

Restaurants are barely surviving in Morro Bay, Mayor John Headding said during the June 9 City Council meeting. “This is an economic crisis for businesses. The majority that I’ve talked to were down more than 60 percent with regard to revenues, compared to the same time last year, and need to get up and running in order to continue to do business,” said Headding, who recently spoke with several downtown area restaurant owners. Morro Bay city staff and the Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce say businesses are suffering as a direct result of the public health crisis. To give those businesses an opportunity to expand the services that they can provide, the City Council voted on June 9 to change some of the city’s rules. The council approved an amendment to its blanket encroachment permit that would allow planters, plants, benches, tables, and chairs on the sidewalk and in the public right of way. It extends the program to all four commercial districts, includes merchandise sales, and ensures tables and seating maintain 6 feet of social distancing. A temporary use permit the council approved will allow owners to use outdoor areas on private property for seating and sale of merchandise and waives the permit fee for six months. Council members also approved amendments to existing sidewalk vending permit requirements that include sidewalk vendors and roaming sidewalk vendors—vendors that move from place to place and stop only to complete a transaction. Community Development Director Scot Graham said there hasn’t been an increase of inquiries for street vending, but given the circumstances created by the public health crisis, this could be an opportunity for businesses. Limited vendors will be allowed on or adjacent to the Embarcadero, Harborwalk, Coleman Drive, and Rock parking lot. Sidewalk vendors are required to obtain a city-issued sidewalk vendor permit, city-issued business tax certificate, a California seller’s permit, and a county Health Department permit. City staff is bringing forward an amendment to the master fee schedule at the June 23 council meeting to add a $325 fee for a sidewalk vendor permit. —Karen Garcia

Protests lead to debate over SLO Sheriff’s Office budget While the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors convened on June 8 to discuss a 2020-21 budget deficit that’s projected to be worse than the last

recession, protesters stood outside the board chambers to call for reductions to the Sheriff’s Office budget, and law enforcement supporters flooded the meeting’s public comment phone line to oppose any cuts to public safety. SLO County is facing a $32 million to $56 million budget deficit in 2020-21 due to COVID-19 impacts. On June 8 and 9, county supervisors reviewed a cost reduction plan that slashes every county department’s general fund support by 4 percent—except for the Sheriff’s Office, the DA’s Office, the Probation Department, and the Fire Department, which receive 1 percent cuts under the plan. The budget talks came on the heels of nationwide social unrest following the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. To address systemic racism, protest leaders have called for defunding or downsizing police departments, which consume the largest share of local budgets, including SLO County’s. On June 7, nonprofit RACE Matters SLO called on residents to contact the county and ask that it reduce the Sheriff’s Office budget, which is funded at more than $50 million. Organizers held a protest and march on June 8 outside the SLO County Government Center, posting a flyer online that read, “SLO County MUST divert funds from law enforcement and incarceration toward mental health and community nonprofits.” SLO County received 704 pages of written public comments for the budget hearings. “San Luis Obispo needs to demilitarize and defund its policing,” resident Ila Moncrief wrote in one letter. “This is an opportunity to focus general funds to community development and safe, affordable housing.” “I am writing to request that the budget for the Sheriff’s Department and other police services be cut and allocated to anti-racist community services and programs,” wrote Martine Lappé, a Cal Poly sociology professor. “Funds should be used to support health care, affordable housing, universal child care, anti-racist education in K-12 schools, scholarship programs for underrepresented groups, and to provide free anti-racist counseling and social work services in our community.” But as some community members wanted funds moved away from law enforcement, others demanded the opposite. Residents opposing any cuts to the Sheriff’s Office wrote letters and left pre-recorded messages for the June 8 meeting. “We are very, very against it,” Michelle Norwood said in a pre-recorded comment. “We will be most unhappy with you if you even entertain a thought like that, especially right now. We are angry about this.” “We really don’t have enough police officers as it is,” added Frederick Bertram, in another message. “Because there’s a few thousand people protesting ... there’s 200 something thousand people in this county. And there’s not enough sheriffs to really cover all the areas anyway. Our sheriffs are good sheriffs. Don’t penalize them for something someone else did.” After the hours of public comment on June 8 and 9, the Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 to approve county officials’ proposed $26.1 million cost-cutting plan. The plan slashes non-public-safety

department budgets by a combined $5.5 million. It reduces the Sheriff’s Office budget by about $500,000—a cut that still increases the department’s funding above 2019-20 levels by about $1.5 million. “My view is that after a lot of careful consideration, I think our admin office has worked very carefully with public safety and other departments to craft the first $26 million of what’s going to be a very difficult path for us,” 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson said at the meeting. “What we’ve got before us is a workable plan.” Fifth District Supervisor Debbie Arnold voted against the proposed budget, objecting to the 1 percent cuts to law enforcement. “I don’t think [their allocation] is enough,” Arnold said. —Peter Johnson

Paso Robles shelters in place after activeshooter incident

At 7 a.m. on June 10, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office posted an urgent message on Twitter about an active shooter in downtown Paso Robles. “The Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone in the Paso Robles downtown area to shelter in place at this time. This is an active situation,” the post read. The Paso Robles Police Department is searching for an armed man who fired at the police department around 3 a.m. SLO County Sheriff deputies and California Highway Patrol officers responded to the incident, and one deputy was shot in the face. The suspect fled on foot. The wounded officer is in serious but stable condition and was airlifted to a trauma center. The Sheriff’s Office described the suspect as a Hispanic male with curly hair in his 20s or 30s. Via Twitter, the Paso Robles Police Department stated that the shooting stopped at 4 a.m., and law enforcement was still searching for the suspect. At the time, SWAT and the Special Enforcement Detail were conducting a systematic search. Around 10:30 a.m., the Sheriff’s Office issued a press release on behalf of the Paso Robles Police Department—which is currently investigating the incident— stating that a body was discovered in the vicinity of the Amtrak Station at 8th and Pine streets in Paso Robles. According to the press release, coroner investigators determined the death to be a homicide. The victim was an 58-yearold male who was shot in the head at close proximity. Investigators believe, the press release states, that the homicide is related to the shooting incident at the police department. As of press time the search for the armed suspect was still ongoing. SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow posted a statement on Twitter that day. “Please keep the [SLO County Sheriff] Deputy who was shot and all other deputies and other local law enforcement officers in your prayers for safety. May they be protected as they continue to search for the shooter and may the shooter be apprehended and brought to justice,” he posted. Law enforcement is asking anyone with information about the shooting to call 911. ∆ —Karen Garcia

Meeting needs SLO County groups aid the undocumented community during the public health crisis

ndocumented hospitality workers, landscapers, and farmworkers now have a network to turn to for support in dealing with the financial fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Joel Diringer, a longtime immigrant and health advocate. He’s the spokesperson for SLO County UndocuSupport, which provides relief to San Luis Obispo County immigrants and their families, many of which have undocumented status and haven’t received any federal assistance during the pandemic. “The people who need it most are the ones who are left out,” Diringer said. He said there are organizations south of SLO County, such as 805 Undocufund, which primarily helps individuals in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. However 805 Undocufund is no longer accepting new applications for help. “Due to the high demand for assistance and an extensive list of applicants, we will not accept more applications until further notice. We know that our community needs help, but we ask for patience and collaboration in this process,” its website states. “It’s pretty much overwhelmed, so we needed to figure out a homegrown solution to helping local families,” Diringer said. Individuals who didn’t receive the stimulus payments passed under the CARES Act ($1,200 or less per adult and $500 per child for those who met the income requirements) earlier this year included those who don’t qualify for federal aid—those without a Social Security number and nonresident aliens, according to the IRS. Families of mixed status were also ineligible. If one person in the family didn’t have a Social Security number, then no one in the family qualified for relief. According to the Public Policy Institute of California, the state is home to between 2.35 million and 2.6 million undocumented immigrants—nearly 6 percent of the state’s population. The policy organization also stated that nearly 1 in 10 workers in the state are undocumented, or 1.75 million people. To make up for the gap in assistance, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a partnership with the California Immigrant Resilience Fund to provide disaster relief to undocumented immigrants affected by the coronavirus. The $125 million included $75 million in taxpayer funds and $50 million in philanthropic contributions to secure a one-time payment of up to $500 per person or $1,000 per household. Locally, interested funders can donate to The Community Foundation SLO County’s Disaster Support Fund by donating under the label “SLO County UndocuSupport.” The funds will go directly to individuals in need, Diringer said. The goal of the coalition, Diringer said, is to establish a permanent UndocuFund, but the organization needs to demonstrate both the need and the community’s willingness to financially support the effort. Through the partnership, UndocuSupport has raised $30,000 for local families. “A lot of it has gone toward rent, car insurance, or utility bills. It’s your daily needs to keep a family afloat,” he said. Diringer said recent data estimates that about 9,000 families with undocumented status live in SLO County. The statistic

is only an approximation, as many individuals live in the shadows, he said. Erica Ruvalcaba-Heredia, director of Promotores Collabortive, said these families are in need of more than just financial support. They could also benefit from emotional support. Promotores Collaborative is a liaison between the Latino and Spanishspeaking community that promotes equal access to community resources and services. Volunteers for the group encompass Paso Robles to Nipomo, and they help about 20 to 30 families a week. Ruvalcaba-Heredia said the advocacy work to provide emotional support has increased throughout the public health crisis, and a lot of the services Promotores provides and emotional support meetings have moved to virtual platforms. To continue checking in with the community, Ruvalcaba-Heredia said, Promotores volunteers have been making phone calls to individuals and families to check in on their well-being, offer services, answer questions, or to say hello. Aside from the uncertainty of the impacts of COVID-19, Ruvalcaba-Heredia said most of the families they assist have lost their jobs or have experienced a reduction in hours. But these individuals are also thinking about their legal status. “They also have this extra fear. For example, if they got sick, it’s not easy for them to say, ‘OK, I’m going to go to the hospital,’” she said. To mitigate that fear, Promotores volunteers speak with them about mental health and point them in the right direction if they need additional support. Family Resource Center Program Supervisor Mariana Gutierrez said dealing with the impacts of the coronavirus has been difficult because many undocumented families also don’t have access to health insurance. “And bundle that [with a] language barrier. A lot of our therapists are monolingual therapists. There are a few of our therapists in our communities that are bilingual,” Gutierrez said. Currently, local health agencies and grassroots organizations are stepping up to inform Spanish-speakers about who their best point of contact is for services. Gutierrez said Community Action Partnership San Luis Obispo in collaboration with the Family Resource Center has a Spanish hotline manned by Betsy Hoffman. Gutierrez said Hoffman answers parents’ questions, provides advice to parents struggling with talking to their children about the current situation, and offers resources. Transitions-Mental Health Association also has Spanish support through its hotline. Often these phone calls consist of helping an individual see their primary care doctor or a therapist for the first time. “When it comes to mental health, there is support out there; our job is really just informing our families of that,” she said. “Our goal is to help people so that they can help others to help our own community.” ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

Out of bounds Snowy plovers are nesting in Oceano Dunes riding areas amid COVID-19 closures, leading to concerns about reopening

hen California State Parks announced plans to temporarily close the Oceano Dunes to vehicles on March 26, the decision—an effort to reduce crowds at the park amid the coronavirus pandemic—was applauded by SLO County residents who saw it as a near once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For some, the closure is a convenient time to test the theory that dangerous sand emissions in the area are worsened by vehicle activity in the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA). For others, like Los Osos resident Jeff Miller, it’s a chance to give the endangered species that inhabit the dunes a break from the crowds. As a senior conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity and a longtime bird watcher, Miller is especially interested in snowy plovers and least terns. Both are endangered birds that commonly nest and breed in the dunes, and although the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and State Parks have been working together for decades to protect plover and tern breeding sites, the birds have struggled to recover. “Snowy plovers and least terns need to rebound,” Miller said. “And we had some hope that with the closure of the off-road area due to COVID-19 that, finally, these endangered birds would be allowed to have a good year.” But now, with SLO County en route to an accelerated reopening, conservationists like Miller worry that any progress the birds made will be lost. Without vehicles and crowds, birds have been free to roam outside of their usual designated enclosures, and Miller said snowy plovers in particular have nested in open riding areas. State Parks is working to discourage birds from nesting in vehicle riding areas. But Miller said the strategy could dissuade plovers from nesting in the dunes at all. “We have a problem with State Parks trying to prevent plovers from basically having a good nesting season this year,” Miller said. In 2017, least terns had “a near complete breeding failure” in the dunes with only seven juveniles produced, according to a State Parks report published in November 2019. Things improved in following years, but juvenile production remained lower than the previous 13-year average of 47 juveniles a year. Snowy plovers in the Oceano Dunes struggled in 2019, too. Of the 239 known nesting attempts, 71 failed. About 108 juveniles were produced in 2019, according to the report, for a successful fledgling rate of only about 27 percent, lower than the 49 percent success rate in 2018 and the previous 17-year average of 40 percent. “Mostly that’s due to high concentrations of predators,” Miller said. Birds in the dunes face a challenging set of circumstances, Miller said. Trash builds up in the park’s dumpsters, according to Miller, attracting seagulls, ravens, skunks, and raccoons—predators—in higher than natural numbers. Noisy vehicles and crowds make it difficult for the birds to build nests wherever they’d like, and a few unfortunate

birds get flattened on the beach each year. But since the prohibition of vehicles in mid-March, plovers have been nesting increasingly outside their “seasonal exclosures,” designated breeding areas that are off-limits to vehicles and visitors. As of May 27, State Parks had discovered 18 total snowy plover nests (and no least tern nests) in the open riding area and foredune closures, 15 of which were active. That’s compared to the 20 active nests that were found inside seasonal exclosures. Instead of deterring plovers from nesting in riding areas, Miller and other members of the Dunes Alliance, a coalition of environmental organizations on the Central Coast, want State Parks to keep the SVRA closed to vehicles until at least the end of the snowy plover breeding season in September. But Jorge Moreno, a spokesperson for State Parks, said that isn’t possible. “During the COVID-19 park closures we have seen the robustness of wildlife resources at many of the park units … with the absence of public access,” Moreno wrote in an email to New Times. “While it would be most beneficial for the conservation of the wildlife resources at all of these park units to keep them closed to the public, it would not satisfy the obligation of California State Parks to provide appropriate public access.” Although Moreno said a reopening date hasn’t been decided upon, he confirmed that State Parks biologists are monitoring plover and tern activity and working to deter nesting in open riding areas. Plovers first start building their nests by putting little scrapes in the ground. If those scrapes are found in open riding areas, Moreno said staff may scuff them out, but not if there are eggs present. Staff are also putting up stakes with streamers, which resemble avian predators to plovers, in some riding areas where scrapes have been found. But Moreno said it’s illegal to interfere with the active nests—those with eggs— of any migratory bird. Any active plover nests found in open riding areas of the Oceano Dunes are immediately protected with fencing, and streamers within a few hundred feet are removed. The Oceano Dunes District retains a recovery permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that allows certain activities near nests for conservation and management purposes, which U.S. Fish and Wildlife confirmed. When it’s determined that vehicle access can be allowed again in the Oceano Dunes, Moreno said an operational plan protecting shorebirds will be implemented. “The operational plan includes additional monitoring, enforcement, and public education about the changed conditions, including nests and chicks in areas that have traditionally been open to public activity,” Moreno said. “These efforts will continue to allow the shorebird nesting populations and our human visitors to Pismo [State Beach] and Oceano Dunes SVRA to thrive.” ∆ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@newtimesslo.com.

BUILDING

momentum The push for housing keeps development moving during the COVID-19 shutdown

BY PETER JOHNSON • PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM

BUILDING SUPPLIES While COVID-19 halted much of the economy, the state deemed construction an essential activity, and it’s largely continued on the Central Coast.

CONSTRUCTION MUST GO ON Anxious about their investments when COVID-19 hit, developers have been relatively unaffected by the pandemic due to stay-at-home orders exempting construction activities. Twin Creeks, a mixed-use project in San Luis Obispo with 94 units of housing, remains under construction on Orcutt Road. 8 • New Times • June 11 - June 18, 2020 • www.newtimesslo.com

hen COVID-19 struck, Coastal Community Builders had just sent out a newsletter to thousands of prospective homebuyers. After years of planning, the Pismo Beach-based development company had finally broken ground on San Luis Ranch, a 580-home community on the former Dalidio Ranch in San Luis Obispo. A March project newsletter gave an optimistic progress report to its 3,000-member waitlist. “We reached out to everybody and gave them a little bit of a better idea about what products would be there, keeping them engaged,” said Gary Grossman, president of Coastal Community Builders. “Right after that, COVID hit.” Like in every industry, COVID-19’s onset and the stay-at-home orders brought anxiety and uncertainty to the construction and building trades. Designers and developers, construction workers, bankers, brokers, investors, and government officials all wondered how the pandemic would impact their projects and bottom lines. Grossman, who has five active housing projects on the Central Coast, from Templeton to Orcutt, told New Times that he and his peers “took a big gulp” in March as the economy appeared to start unraveling. The idea of halting their active construction projects for months on end seemed untenable. “We were just sort of like, ‘OK, how are we going to handle this?’” he said. More broadly, industry stakeholders worried about how a sudden recession could derail years of progress toward creating a fertile building environment in California—especially for building housing amid a statewide shortage. “There’s a great opportunity right now. We’ve got a governor who wants housing in California,” said John Fowler, CEO of Peoples’ Self-Help Housing, which has affordable housing projects under construction in Santa Maria and Guadalupe. “We don’t want to slow up because of a pandemic, because things are lining up, both politically and financially. It’s a good time to produce housing at all levels.” At least in the short term, the gears of construction didn’t grind to a halt. They barely even slowed down. Under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s March 19 shelter-athome order, construction was deemed an essential service and allowed to continue. While many counties chose to regulate and restrict some construction activities in local shelter orders, SLO and Santa Barbara counties opted for a relatively hands-off approach. Local builders and government officials said projects on the Central Coast moved forward despite the pandemic—boosted by the political will to produce housing and help stabilize a crippled economy. “Everybody’s pretty bullish, pretty enthusiastic,” Grossman said. “I think you’ll see that most of the projects kept going. All of our projects did. We kept moving on.”

Staying at work, safely

Grossman wasn’t exactly surprised that the COVID-19 orders, which impacted so many sectors of the economy, exempted construction activities. “If you think about how much [construction] there is between commercial, apartments, residential, … if it was all halted, that’s some $30 trillion in bank loans,” Grossman said. “It would’ve been hard on the banks, hard on all of the industries. And we employ a lot of people.” From the company executives to the construction workers, industry members said that they were glad to continue working. Construction crews adopted new safety measures to protect against the virus, including social distancing and sanitizing. Those measures have largely proven effective in staving off COVID-19 infections at work sites, according to Tony Skinner, an executive officer at the TriCounties Building & Construction Trade Council, which represents 33 craft unions in SLO, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties. Even so, some workers opted to stay home and not put themselves or vulnerable family members at risk. “There’s a couple of people who [contracted COVID-19], but for the amount of people [out] there, that’s not bad,” Skinner said. “The national building trades came out when this first hit and put out safety standards for jobs, and it seemed to work.” Skinner said that the local building trades have been “very fortunate” to not see a slowdown in work during the pandemic. He said construction in the region “is as strong as it’s been.” “It could’ve hit us a lot harder than it did,” Skinner said. “There’s been very, very little ripple effect. A couple of jobs were delayed, but they’re still on the books.” That forward momentum is not just evident in the for-profit building sector. Fowler, of Peoples’ Self-Help Housing, said his affordable housing nonprofit has “been building all through the pandemic.” “Our subcontractors really wanted to work, and we really wanted them to work,” he said. “We’re right on schedule.” Fowler said that both a 40-unit affordable senior housing complex in Santa Maria (called the Sierra Madre Cottages) and a 38-unit farmworker housing project in Guadalupe (Guadalupe Court) are on track for grand openings in July and August, respectively. In addition to approaching the finish line on those projects, Peoples’ SelfHelp Housing has also continued with its “self-help home building” program during COVID-19. In April, 10 lowincome families in San Miguel finished construction on their own houses, which effectively reduced their final cost. “The families continued to build, finished their homes, and moved in during the pandemic,” Fowler said.

The nonprofit also acquired new property since March and continues to provide its other housing services remotely. “Everything from acquisition to construction, design, approval, and moving people in—all facets of housing are moving forward,” Fowler said. “For us, it’s been full-steam ahead.”

Strong fundamentals

As SLO Community Development Director Michael Codron closed up shop at City Hall in March due to COVID-19 precautions, he and others in city leadership remained focused on how to keep the momentum of a historic year going. The 2019-20 fiscal year was a recordbreaker in SLO in terms of development and building activity, and city officials wanted to continue to accommodate that surge remotely if it continued. “We had to sort of reinvent how we do business,” Codron said. “We actually already had plans in place to accept online applications, but that wasn’t going to happen until the end of 2020. Under the circumstances, we were able to expedite that.” While other city revenue streams took huge hits during the COVID-19 shutdown, planning and building fees remained relatively steady; the city continued to issue building permits and accept new planning applications online at a surprising pace. Despite the many impacts of the pandemic, the department wound up exceeding its 2019-20 revenue projections by about 20 percent—a testament to the building atmosphere in town. “I do think it’s a good sign,” Codron said. “As investors and financiers are looking for a safe place to put their money, I think when you see large construction projects continue to move forward and even new applications come in, it’s a good sign that the fundamentals of the economy are still strong and that we have the potential to continue to accomplish a lot of our goals as it relates to building out the city and our current focus on more housing.” A quick glance at an online map of active construction projects in SLO shows that strength. Housing and mixed-use developments speckle the map. Fowler noted that the push for housing, both locally and across the state, is acting as a strong tailwind for these projects. “We’re so underproduced at this point. We’ve fallen way behind on all of our housing,” Fowler said. “There’s a pent-up demand if we can produce it.” Private developers also spoke to promising signs of stability in the economy. Even amid extreme economic uncertainty, Grossman of Coastal

Community Builders said banks continue to lend and homes continue to sell— albeit under revised circumstances and expectations. “We all wanted to know that the lending institutions would be working as they should,” Grossman said. “And I’m happy to say, I’ve been impressed. Everybody’s going to be a little more conservative and a little more careful because we’re in territory we haven’t seen before, but our lending partners have been very with the spirit of what everybody’s been hoping for.” Pat Arnold, CEO of Covelop in SLO and president of the Downtown SLO association, also praised the work of the banks, particularly the regional banks, during the crisis. “They’ve been amazing to work with,” Arnold said. “They get it; we’re midproject, we can’t stop. There’s no way to stop without it failing.”

HOUSING SUPPLY Housing remains a priority in San Luis Obispo, and this project, The Junction, next to Miner’s Ace Hardware, will bring 69 residential units and 3,000 square feet of commercial space to the city.

Confidence, concerns, and the future

While COVID-19 hasn’t stopped most active construction projects from moving forward, it has impacted new plans for development. And its long-term effects remain to be seen. Arnold said that investor confidence is low for newer projects in their early planning stages. He recently applied for a U.S. Small Business Administration loan to avoid furloughing employees on his design and development team. “Our development side got extremely quiet due to investor confidence,” he said. “Short-term access to capital and investors is just down right now.” Fowler with Peoples’ Self-Help Housing noted that a decline in investor confidence could impact the viability of future affordable housing projects on the Central Coast. “Where I think we’re going to have some issues is investors. There’s a bit of a hiccup in the financing world,” Fowler said. “Banks are the ones that invest in affordable housing. They put the equity in for us.” That uncertainty bleeds over from the private world to the public realm at cities, school districts, and counties. As tax revenues slump across the board, fewer dollars will be available to pay for public construction projects—from simple road maintenance, to new classrooms, to Fowler’s specialty: affordable housing. That’s an ongoing concern for government leaders, development professionals, and construction unions, whose members are often hired to work on those projects. “[Public] funding is always something that we’re looking for,” said Skinner, of the Tri-Counties Building & Construction

Council. “Who knows what’s going to happen with the cities and counties once budget time comes?” Projected tax revenue shortfalls are partially why U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) and regional officials are advocating that Congress earmark more federal economic relief funds for local infrastructure projects. In Santa Barbara County, officials claim $700 million worth of road and highway projects are shovel-ready and could happen quickly if they were fully funded. Local representatives want to see the second federal stimulus bill include an allocation for these types of county-level projects. “The idea is that would be an infusion of funds to get the economy going again. We estimate that $700 million would stimulate 9,000 jobs,” said Marjie Kirn, executive director of the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments. As COVID-19 continues to reshape society, building industry members said it will also inevitably reshape the future

of development. Given the pandemic’s impact on retail, restaurants, and office spaces, investors and developers may find commercial projects less attractive in the future. “It will look different,” Arnold with Covelop said. “We’ll have more home offices than we ever thought we’d have.” One building sector that industry members don’t see slowing down is housing. The clamor for more housing in California will keep all sectors of the building industry busy for a long time, they said. “There’s an undeniable housing shortage in California, and that shortage isn’t going away,” Grossman said. “We’ve been operating on a shortage of housing for a long time. I think that as lending institutions and our markets are looking at it, they’re saying one way or another, we’re going to come right back to the same thing.” ∆ Contact Assistant Editor Peter Johnson at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Aquarium on hold

he Central Coast Aquarium (CCA) underwent a temporary system shutdown on April 16 as a direct result of the coronavirus. But it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the Central Coast Aquarium is dissolving, as the nonprofit has every intention of reopening. The former executive director of the facility, Christine Johnson, said in a statement that the decision was made due to a loss of revenue from both school field trips and the spring break tourism season. At the time, the aquarium in Avila Beach didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any assurance that it would be able to reopen for business by the summer. According to Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement, as part of the temporary system shutdown, all animal care lifesupport systems and animal exhibits were shut down entirely and secured for future reopening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With care and attention, we released many of our animals back to the wild as permitted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. All remaining animals that could not be released to the wild were adopted by Cabrillo High School Aquarium in Lompoc,â&#x20AC;? the statement read. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are grateful for the partnerships with [Department of Fish and Wildlife] and Cabrillo High School who worked with us to ensure that the release or adoption of all of [Central Coast Aquariumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] animals was properly and ethically managed.â&#x20AC;? According to Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement, the aquarium had experienced its most successful year in 2019 and was ahead of 2019 numbers in January, February, and half of March of 2020. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yet, even with a fantastic year in 2019, our margins for operating as a nonprofit aquarium and marine science education center are very tight,â&#x20AC;? the statement said. In the statement, Johnson said there are those in the community in critical need, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s correct for â&#x20AC;&#x153;philanthropy to be given to those nonprofits first.â&#x20AC;? She listed food banks, domestic violence and child abuse services, and medical supplies for first responders and health care workers. Johnson told New Times she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give any updates, as she stepped down from her position on April 15, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy to help the aquarium or volunteer when it needs her. As SLO County continues to move toward reopening, the Central Coast Aquarium is also working on a plan to safely reopen to the public once again.

Aquarium board Chair Debbie Collins said the board is meeting and talking about how to reopen and the programs that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to conduct safely. Collins said she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment on the exact plan, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personally advocating for a safe and quick reopening. She said she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment on the Morro Bay Aquarium project at this time either. The Central Coast Aquarium and city of Morro Bay had been collaborating on a new aquarium on the Embarcadero. The last project update was in February when the CCA funded developing the concept design for a plan that showed what the aquarium would look like.

Get outdoors Not everyone has access to nature, and that needs to change

n typical Latino culture, daughters are taught how to clean and cook to keep their men happy. Not me; I was raised by a single mom who worked two jobs and cleaned houses on the weekends. I was shown the miracles of what Fabuloso could do in a bathroom and how Vicks VapoRub could cure anything. I was taught to be a strong, independent, classy go-getter who didn’t need a man but when I got one, he would appreciate everything I had to offer. I grew up in the small town of Grover Beach. I was educated in predominantly “white” schools with most of my friends being gringas. Sleepovers were almost like a rite of passage for my sisters and me. They weren’t allowed. My Mexican mom could never understand why I’d want to sleep at someone else’s house. Especially when I had a home to sleep at. We grew up poor but never without. My mom always reminded us that we had to work twice as hard because we were Mexican-American: “We gotta prove to the Mexicans how Mexican we are, and we gotta prove to the Americans how American we are.” As a teenager, trying to understand that was exhausting. As I grew older and moved away to college, I had friends introduce me to the outdoors. I went on my first hike when I was 23 years old in Eugene, Oregon. It was

beautiful and something I remember only seeing in posters or movies. Growing up, I was completely unaware of hiking, climbing, and camping. Those outlets weren’t available for my sisters and me. Vacations were nonexistent, as my mother had no leisure time. After I moved back home from college, I remembered seeing my younger self in Latino kids. I thought about how when I was their age, not so long before, it would never have crossed my mind that you could just find a trail in the woods or along the coast and explore the natural world. It was never for lack of imagination or desire for new experiences. Those things are innate in every child. What was missing was someone to nurture and encourage them in me, someone who was willing to pass along the joy that someone had shared with them before. When I turned 26, I got the opportunity to go to Yosemite with a group of friends from California that I had met through an outdoor meet-up. Everything about preparing for the trip felt foreign to me. I had to buy hiking boots, backpack gear, hiking poles, hiking socks. Anything and everything you could think of, I didn’t have. My first summit was Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. It is one of my proudest moments. A 17-mile hike that brought us more than 4,800 feet in elevation. It was one of the most challenging things I had done. Once I reached the summit, I was able to take in those Yosemite Valley views. It was truly magical. I rested and sat on top of the granite dome and took all of its beauty

in. It was breathtaking, and I didn’t want that moment to end. When I got back home from Yosemite, the first thing I did was look up the next hike I wanted to do and what groups I could become a part of. For the next few years, I spent my vacations from work backpacking at national parks every year. I am at 22 parks and counting. As I participated more in outdoor culture through the years, I could see the barriers that exclude communities of color. I noticed there was a lack of outdoor advocacy geared toward minorities. There is a misconception among nature lovers that nature is free and open to anyone who wants to get out in it. Nature is not free for everyone. There are economic barriers for people of color. It’s never the lack of interest or initiative. Not everyone can afford all of that expensive outdoor gear or transportation. This is why it’s so important that outdoor brands invest in communities of color. Limiting outdoor culture to a “white people thing” seems more apparent than ever, and I want to change that. Living in Portland as an adult and having the knowledge I do about how excluded you can feel as a minority in a predominately white town makes me want to share my knowledge with all people of color. Joining Latino Outdoors has broken those barriers for me, and I hope more people of color who feel excluded will join our movement. Being poor should not be a barrier to the beauty of the outdoors. Let us join together and preserve our parks for further generations to enjoy. Yo cuento! Δ Maritza Oropeza grew up in Grover Beach.

Letters Housing density isn’t the problem I’m amazed, and sometimes amused, at the many creative reasons people give for wanting to stop housing development. Now they’ve latched onto COVID-19. Because New York City has high-density housing and high rates of COVID-19, they argue that building more housing will lead to the proliferation of diseases, higher infection rates, and more deaths. They argue that we must stop building housing to protect the health of our community members. Their argument fails miserably in the light of reality. High-density housing doesn’t cause COVID-19 and other diseases to spread.

You can still register to vote NPR reports that “almost every place where Americans usually register to vote has been out of reach since March, and it’s led to a big drop in new registrations right before a presidential election that was expected to see record turnout.” The League of Women Voters reminds everyone that it is still possible for all qualified voters to register to vote.

BY HEIDI HARMON

Standing for black lives

une 9 was a day of mourning in this country. The family and loved ones of George Floyd laid their beloved son, brother, father, and friend to rest. I have asked that all of the flags in the city be flown at half-staff to honor his life. A life that was ended too soon at the hands of a racist police officer. I have been listening to all of your voices and I hear you. This statement was written in collaboration with local young black leadership and in particular with Xavier Moore and Jalen Hamler, both Cal Poly students; and with Tianna Arata, recent Cuesta graduate and future Sacramento State University student. Together, we are implementing the demands of justice. I had the honor of walking with these leaders in a peaceful protest, and their leadership is something to be commended and celebrated. I want to acknowledge and affirm how tragic, unacceptable, and heartbreaking the recent killings of black folks at the hands of the police are. These murders are but a few of the centuries-long history of racism and violence against people of color in this country. What is happening today is a direct result of our country’s racist beginning, a wound we have never committed to healing—and we must make that commitment to healing now through action, policy, dialogue, and collaboration. Over recent days, thousands of people within our community have boldly and peacefully stood in solidarity to protest the racial injustice that has plagued our nation and our world. I stand with you. I hear you and I want to take this opportunity to positively impact social change—a change that prioritizes black voices, provides equity in leadership, and creates a world where parents don’t live in fear when their black children leave the house and a San Luis Obispo that does not leave anyone out. We have heard over and over again from people of color that they do not feel welcome here, and it is time to step up and be willing to do the difficult and necessary work of changing that. It is up to us to do the work to educate ourselves in order to create a community that is welcoming, equitable, and kind. A budget is an expression of values, and I want the city’s budget to express the value of standing with people of color. I am glad to say that at this week’s City Council meeting we set aside $160,000 to go toward policy and efforts to better serve communities of color and create more equity in San Luis Obispo. This effort will center people of color who will lead and advise us on the meaningful

steps we can take as a city on antiracism work. We will immediately put this funding toward concrete steps we can take as a city on anti-racism work. With meaningful efforts, we can create a city in which tear gas, foam bullets, and pepper balls will never be used when people are peacefully demonstrating. I am open, interested, and ready to listen to your suggestions as to the best way to implement and use this funding. The incident on June 1 in which local law enforcement deployed tear gas is greatly disturbing, and I have heard from many of you that you are deeply upset as well. To be clear, I was not involved in any way in that decision. Our role on City Council is one of policy and not of operations. In my role as mayor, I do not have a position of command or control over multi-jurisdictional law enforcement. I am, however, responsible for taking on the call, and demanding that we do better. We can do better, and I am committed to learning from this incident in order to gain clarity on what policies we need to pursue to ensure that we don’t have an incident like that ever again in our city. I am calling for the police department to conduct a critical incident review that includes the statements of protesters on what happened so that all of us can understand exactly what led up to this situation so we can learn, make changes, and do better. I have signed on to former President Barack Obama’s pledge to de-escalate police violence. In addition, I have shared the community’s questions with Police Chief Deanna Cantrell to seek clarity and assess what the critical next steps need to be. At our next City Council meeting, I will present a proclamation to these young leaders in honor of Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. I call on the people of San Luis Obispo to join me in celebrating Juneteenth by sharing some of the community’s tremendous wealth to provide scholarship funding to Cal Poly so that more first-generation students have a chance at a good education and a chance at being part of the fabric of this community. My conversation with student leaders who are also scholar-athletes informed this particular request. They feel, as do many other black and brown students, that there is an assumption that black students at Cal Poly are there because of athletics. They want to increase the number of black and brown students at Cal Poly to make lasting

online at registertovote.ca.gov. It’s easy and quick. If you have moved since the last election, be sure to re-register at your new address. The Nov. 3 election is a pivotal one for our democracy. We encourage everyone to register, educate yourself on the issues and candidates, and vote. Ann Havlik and Cindy Marie Absey co-presidents League of Women Voters San Luis Obispo County

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed restrictions on traditional voter registration, elections, and campaigning. But we must not let the pandemic keep people from registering to vote. Voter registration continues. Remind your family, friends, neighbors, members of your church, colleagues at school and in the workplace that they can register to vote by picking up a voter registration form at the local post office or going

change to university culture with respect to racial justice. One way to increase the presence of students of color is to help low-income and first-generation students with scholarships. These scholarships would significantly decrease the cost of attendance, a barrier for many. And I call on the media to commit to unbiased reporting and to take responsibility for the crucial role that media often plays in stoking the flames of fear and distrust. Racism is a social system with multiple dimensions. Racism causes persistent racial discrimination in housing, education, employment, and criminal justice. Racism is a significant social determinant of health as we have seen throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and violence against people of color. It is crucial that we name this in order to fully and meaningfully address this crisis. This is why at our next City Council meeting I will be asking that the city assert that racism is a public health emergency affecting our entire society. And I am calling on Gov. Gavin Newsom to do the same. As an activist, I appreciate the impact that activism can have on policy and the work it takes to be in the streets. Your activism has made a difference. I implore you as we move into tomorrow and the weeks and years to come, to continue to listen, ask questions, and do the important work that is before us. Do not look away. We are a caring and compassionate community of privilege, and we are called to use that privilege to create a more fair and just world for all. We need to come together to all stand in support of peaceful and radical action against systemic racism. I stand in grief and support and believe that we must come together to end the discrimination and violence of black and marginalized communities everywhere. A world exists in which we no longer have to protest injustice because injustice no longer exists. A world where riot gear goes rusty and policing becomes obsolete. A world where black men run and black women sleep in their homes in safety. A world where George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery are still alive, walking hand in hand with Xavier Moore, Jalen Hamler, and Tianna Arata. Let us create that world together. Standing with you for black lives. Δ

The Shredder

Cyber ninja fu two! J ohn “Pitmaster” Hackleman, owner of The Pit in Arroyo Grande, almost made it a full year before stepping in a pile of his own BS again. Last year, he was attacked online for what some commenters saw as a promotion of domestic violence (“Cyber ninja fu!” Sept. 19, 2019). The problem wasn’t so much his stupid meme about wanting to choke his wife’s “F’ing neck,” it was about his reaction to critics. Apparently Hackleman can’t control his emotions, which were on display again in a 20-minute Facebook rant that someone posted to YouTube on June 6 under the title “John Hackleman of The Pit, Arroyo Grande loses it after GeorgeFloyd BLM march. #BoycottThePit.” The current hubbub is tied to Hackleman’s decision to place armed men on the roof of his gym during Arroyo Grande’s peaceful Black Lives Matter protest on June 5, which caused shock and fear among the protesters who had gathered during the permitted march. Among other things in his profanity-laced rant, Hackleman said, “What people have to realize is that these so-called peaceful demonstrations have turned mega-fucking ugly, mega-violent, mega-quickly. Think of Santa Monica, Minneapolis, L.A., some cities in Texas. Close to 20 people have died already, not because of police brutality, not because of the reasons—supposed

reasons—that these riots started but because of violent rioters.” It’s true that 17 people have died in connection to the riots, but most appear to be random shootings not directly associated with the protests. David McAtee, 53, was probably killed by Louisville Police or National Guard who heard gunfire and returned fire. Calvin Horton Jr., 43, was shot by a pawn shop owner allegedly protecting his business. The owner was booked on suspicion of murder but later released as the investigation continues. Jorge Gomez, 25, was shot by Las Vegas Police after he allegedly pointed a gun at them. Unlike others at the rally, Gomez was armed and wearing body armor. Jose Gutierrez, 28, an apparent bystander during some looting in Cicero, Illinois, was shot by Zion Haygood, who was charged with first-degree murder. Marvin Francois, 50, was shot and killed by three carjackers after a protest. The closest violence to what Hackleman seems to allude to was, according to Fox Business, a “machete-wielding man in Dallas” who “was brutally beaten by rioters on Saturday night after police said he was trying to ‘protect his neighborhood from protesters.’” A machete? Just imagine if the dude had an assault rifle! There’d be a bunch of dead people, and the man would probably be in jail instead of “an area hospital in

stable condition.” Good grief, Hackleman. I thought your gym taught martial arts. Why do you need an armed cowboy in a soldier costume on your roof? Can’t you just kung fu a looter with a flying roundhouse or something? What the hell would looters even take? Do you think they want your sweaty wrestling mats or stinky punching bags? Hackleman went on to attack those calling for a boycott on his gym, in particular someone named Jenn Beloved: “Now we’re hearing fucking lunatics say we should be boycotted because we were protecting our business? Are you kidding me? What kind of lowlife piece of shit would say something like that? What would you do if someone broke into your house with a fucking gun or a knife or a fucking ax? Would you just let ’em beat you? Probably would! Those are the kinds of people that do those kinds … never mind. That was a bad question.” I personally would run and tell my little Shredder offspring to run too, and then I’d call the police. Hackleman, however, thinks it’s OK to kill someone who tries to break into his gym. “Now for me wanting to protect my gym, people want to talk about boycotting my gym?” Hackleman raged. “Fuck you! If anybody is against me protecting my

gym, I don’t want you at my gym. You’re not the kind of person I want to teach martial arts to. “Jenn Beloved, what the fuck are thinking?” he continued. “What would you do? By the looks of you, you don’t have any kids, but if you did and someone was attacking you or one of your children would you not protect them? You are disgusting.” Ooohhh! Ripped that right out of the Donald J. Trump misogynist playbook! “Look at a picture of her and it’ll be self-explanatory,” Hackleman added. Arroyo Grande Mayor Caren Ray Russom, inundated by citizen complaints, took to her Facebook to explain disappointedly that Hackleman’s armed guard “was legal.” “I personally am sorry this business owner did this,” Russom added. “I think it unnecessarily divided our community.” On June 8, Hackleman calmed down enough to go back on Facebook and apologize: “I want to say I’m sorry to anyone I scared on Friday night. I guess I scared some people … that was not my intention by any means.” Then he spent another four minutes rationalizing his rooftop sniper. Then he said he admitted he was “scared.” Then he said he was sorry for his 20-minute rant video because he was “frustrated.” I guess you can’t punch your way out of a boycott. Be calm, grasshopper. ∆ The Shredder doesn’t know karate but it knows the fetal position. Send comments and questions to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Live Oak or bust! KCBX 90.1FM and Big Big SLO bring the Live Oak Music Festival to you virtually

his would normally be the time my wife and I would start planning for this year’s Live Oak Music Festival, which was scheduled for Friday, June 19, through Sunday, June 21, out at El Chorro Regional Park. Of course, thanks to the global pandemic, the event was canceled this year … sort of. “Die-hard Oakies, we know the news hit you hard that we would not be able to gather together for Peace, Love & Dirt on Father’s Day weekend this year,” organizers announced. “Us too … and we just couldn’t accept that there would be no festival this year. So we started brainstorming. In 30-plus years of our annual festival, we have collected a treasure trove of recordings from past performances. And there are wonderful local performers here on the Central Coast who would love to be a part of the magic.” The annual fundraiser for our local NPR affiliate has been transformed into three days of exceptional past Live Oak performances broadcast on the station’s FM frequencies as well as nine livestreaming shows by a few of our premiere local performers. My wife and I have decided to go all-in and re-create the Live Oak experience at home. We’ll sleep in our 1960 Castle King trailer and have the radio set to 90.1FM or to the video stream at liveoakfest.org. “We want to see your setup!” event organizers announced in a press release. “Make plans to camp out, even if it’s in your own backyard. Be sure to tag your pictures, stories, and videos with #liveoakontheradio when sharing on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You can also email your photos to info@ liveoakfest.org so we can share them on our website and social media. We want to see (and hear and maybe even smell) all the jamming, dancing, barbecuing, dirty feet, and your best Live Oak memories.” Event organizers are doing their best to re-create the Live Oak experience. You can take a “virtual walk through our Vendor Village and support them how you can,” press materials explained. “Our vendors are a large part of what makes Live Oak work each year. Along with vendors from our concessions area, our Art Walk vendors are local craftspeople and artists who capture the whimsy and creativity that is the essence of Live Oak. There will also be an online auction featuring items donated to help raise money to support the festival, including the 2020 Live Oak quilt made by Dorothy Deis, art from local artists, and items from local businesses.” Remember, this is KCBX’s big annual fundraiser, so if you can help keep the station afloat, head to liveoakfest.org and click on the purple donate banner. “We don’t have a schedule yet for our archive recordings on KCBX, but

I can confirm that La Santa Cecilia, Dustbowl Revival, JD McPherson, and The Record Company will all be on the lineup of archive material,” KCBX’s Marisa Waddell said via email. Expect more than 30 hours of archival recordings to be broadcast over the weekend! If you’ve never been to the festival in person, when live music isn’t happening, Acorn Radio broadcasts past Live Oak performances, which are always a treat, so I’m really looking forward to hearing these past shows, but I’m especially excited about this year’s livestreams, which will be presented live from the Bill Gaines Audio warehouse soundstage (No, it’s not open to the public … sorry!) thanks to Paul Irving and Big Big SLO. And get this, longtime emcee Joe Craven will host these live performances. On Friday, June 19, see Twice Cooked Jazz Trio at 6:30 p.m., Próxima Parada at 8:30 p.m., and Vincent Bernardy, featuring Tracy Morgan and Noah Coltin at 10:30 p.m. On Saturday, June 20, see Bear Market Riot at 6 p.m., Moonshiner Collective at 8 p.m., and Resination at 10 p.m. On Sunday, June 21, see Ynana Rose at 6 p.m., Café Musique at 8 p.m., and The Monroe at 10 p.m. Next weekend’s events will be a benefit for KCBX Central Coast Public Radio, so please help out in any way you can.

ALMOST LIKE BEING THERE To honor 30-plus years of the Live Oak Music Festival, KCBX 90.1FM will be broadcasting 30 hours of past performances, including one by La Santa Cecilia, over the course of June 19 to 21. PHOTO COURTESY OF NATALIE HASKINS

The Wavebreakers Band recently wrote to admit, “We’ve got a hard case of cabin fever, too. Not only are live venues shut down and canceled, we understand copyright law doesn’t allow cover bands to do Facebook Live shows.” What’s a hardworking mostly cover band to do? “Here’s ‘Corona Mona,’ our new single,” wrote Wendy Stockton of the local ’50s to ’80s cover act. “‘Corona Mona’ is a kind of right-now music vaccine to help while we stay home. She’ll take you on a trip through the dark and lighthearted moments of the pandemic. And you’ll like this: Godzilla makes a cameo in the video.” Check out the fun at facebook.com/ thewavebreakersband.

Vintage Fletcher Peck jazz videos

Triumphant!

It’s hard to choose, but I think my favorite song off Natalie Haskins’ amazing new album, Puhidua (which means “wildflowers” in her mother’s tribe’s tongue), is “When You Think of California.” The chorus is so damn hooky it got stuck in my head after the very first listen: “Of all the girls you meet out there down that never-ending road/ Killing time beneath those blue eyes and calling your arms their home/ There’s just one thing I’ll ask of you only one thing I could need/ When you think of California won’t you please just think of me?” Haskins has a remarkable voice—warm and clear with the sort of dewy sense of wonder evoked by Kacey Musgraves. She’s also a gifted songwriter and lyricist. Get ahold of this verse from “Love Me”: “When I’m on your last nerve and you can’t stand the looks of me/ When I’m sitting next to you and all you want is an empty seat/ When I’ve gained a pound or two and those lines you start to see/ Just remember our younger days when I was your queen bee.” The album, which has as beautiful a package as I’ve seen in a locally produced CD, has been a years-long labor of love for Haskins, and she’s enlisted an A-team of local performers including Terry Lawless

(keys and sax), Bob Liepman (cello), Bob Hamilton (pedal steel), and others to join her core band, Benji Cheedle (drums), Anthony Leos-Thayer (bass), and Warren Haskins (lead guitar). Recorded at Kip Stork’s Avalon Digital Recording Studio and Damon Castillo’s Laurel Lane Studios in SLO as well as Dan Curcio’s When It Hits Records in Arroyo Grande, the production is top-notch. I really can’t say enough good things about this new record. There’s not a clunker among the 16 gem-like tracks. If you like country and Americana music, this is worth adding to your collection. The best way to currently get a copy is by emailing Haskins at thesoundsoflovelylady@gmail.com. It can also be streamed on Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.

In honor of what would have been jazz pianist Fletcher Peck’s 96th birthday, the SLO Jazz Federation is releasing five videos of the local legendary jazz man on its YouTube channel (link via slojazz.org). Peck—aka Adrian Greenberg—played in NYC for years with the likes of Charlie Parker, Charlie Ventura, and Red Mitchell. He moved to LA in the late ’60s and was a staff member of Jackie Gleason and Jan Murray television shows. He also played in a variety of jazz ensembles with Art Pepper, Leroy Vinegar, and Monty Budwig. In 1978, he and his wife, Marilyn Greenberg, moved to Morro Bay, and he played regularly at the Golden Tee (now the Inn at Morro Bay) as well as the Rose Victorian Inn in Arroyo Grande. He also helped establish the Jazz Fed’s annual Jazz Piano Showcase and was a highly respected jazz instructor until his death in 1996. “Look in coming weeks for videos featuring Alan Broadbent, Bob Harway, Jon Faddis Quintet, Billy Taylor Trio, Bruce Forman Quartet with Mary Stallings, Inga Swearingen, and many others,” the SLO County Jazz Federation board wrote. “We hope you are all staying well and continuing to listen to great jazz online.” Δ Contact Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Great American Melodrama announces summer updates

While the Great American Melodrama in Oceano remains closed, the theater hopes to reopen in early July, according to a recent update on its website, although no specific date has been announced. The Melodrama’s original summer season was set to include Butch Cassidy and the Sunburnt Kid and The Perils of Pismo Pig and Other Tall Tales, which have both been canceled. Instead, the company will premiere a brand new, original production, described only as an evening of comedy, song, and dance. The theater also announced changes to its operations, including seating capacity, once it’s ready to reopen. A new seating layout will ensure 6 feet of distance between each party, which will cut the theater’s capacity in half. Changes will also be made to the snack bar, as the bar line will be arranged to allow for safe distancing and plexiglass will separate customers from the bar staff. For sanitation purposes, coffee and condiments will no longer be self-serve. To find out more about the Melodrama’s tentative summer season, call (805) 489-2499 or visit americanmelodrama.com. The theater is located at 1863 Front St., Oceano. ∆ —Caleb Wiseblood

Now, however, open-air art exhibits are allowed to reopen, and so this Friday, June 12, guests can visit the 15-acre installation that includes 58,800 stemmed spheres lit by fiber optics. The exhibit will remain open until Jan. 3, 2021, though inclement weather may cancel some of the days—Thursdays through Sundays—the installation welcomes visitors. “With the governor’s announcement May 12 allowing activities including outdoor museums and galleries, we were granted permission by the public health director of San Luis Obispo County to reopen,” Sensorio Executive Director Tracy Strann said in press materials. “We’re implementing every safety precaution in order to offer a safe environment for our visitors, including timed ticket entry, a one-way path through the exhibition, limited group size (six maximum), monitored and enforced social distancing, mask coverings, and other safety measures to guard everyone’s health. During these deeply unsettling times, we know there are many looking forward to visiting this tranquil outdoor exhibition to experience Bruce Munro’s extraordinary vision.” Before the closure, the exhibition had counted more than 145,000 visitors from 41 countries. It also garnered gushing media praise: The New York Times noted how the installation evoked “movement that infuses culture in valleys of viticulture” while Forbes described it as “the future of public wellness.” Travel + Leisure called it a “pilgrimage-worthy art escape” that is “meant to complement, never compete or detract, from the beauty of the landscape.” Safety has been prioritized. According to press materials, “Sensorio will require masks for all staff members, plus gloves for all food and beverage employees. In accordance with local health requirements, mask/face coverings are strongly recommended for all guests. To further protect its guests and staff, non-contact thermometers will be utilized for each guest upon entry, and non-contact hand sanitation stations will be provided throughout the entire site. All restrooms and surfaces will be cleaned and disinfected every 30 minutes. “Prior to admittance, every ticket buyer will be required to read and sign upon entrance

Tasting with humans As SLO county opens back up, it’s time to support our small local food and drink establishments

s I write this column, there are food and drink businesses that just found out they could open their doors for dine-in services after more than two months, and they are currently closed once again—some even boarding up their windows— due to threats of violence that came on the heels of protests. Before I continue on a couple of pleasant dining experiences finally granted to us after months of COVID-19 shelter-at-home orders, I just want to say that I hope by the time this is printed, our restaurateurs, wineries, and food establishments can get back on their feet after dealing with so many setbacks.

I could smell by simply checking the boxes on the paper it when I was dropped off for my 1:30 p.m. menu. We order wine after that. We picked up our food from Lou’s turquoise and white wedding trailer, as instructed, wrapped in togo containers, which made me think: “A travel vehicle full of cheese must be a mirage.” On top of that, spending time with my friend in person (and not on Zoom) was almost too good to be true. I was thrilled to see all 20 or so tables were fully booked. It felt like a special day at a winery, only better. We ordered a glass of the Tolosa classic Burgundy-style 1772 Chardonnay to start and split a Fig Me—double cream brie sandwich made with fig jam, prosciutto, apples, and baby arugula with balsamic glaze and sea salt—and a Londoner—English cotswold cheddar sandwich with pickles, tomato, spicy mayo, romaine, and everything seasoning.

Rustic Fire

I was so grateful to find out Rustic Fire was open again for dine-in. This Paso Robles restaurant is co-owned by Jonathan Gannon and Connie Kahanu, siblings who grew up on the Central Coast, and features brick-oven pizza, salads, local wine, and craft beer. They have the best kids’ meal around, and when we leave town to drive north, we usually stop and get some pies and gelato to-go. On this day, we had just finished hours of paddle boat action and hiking at Santa Margarita Lake, and we were all craving pizza. Rustic Fire’s staff is super friendly (and is following the Centers for Disease Control guidelines). The place is cool and airy, screens playing the Food Channel (since we don’t have any sports to watch right now).

Among our delightful perfect-crust pizzas and cream sodas, we ordered a completely original pizza: The Red Hot Buffalo, with spicy buffalo wing sauce, mozzarella, buffalo marinated chicken, red onions, carrots, celery, spicy crust, and an after-bake ranch drizzle. It was my distance-learning middle-schooler’s idea. “Can we just try something new?” he said out of the blue and chose the wildest, craziest concoction on the menu. I highly recommend this type of behavior to free you from that quarantine mindset. I had a hard time looking out the window toward the Paso Fairgrounds, knowing the Mid-State Fair has been canceled, and I made a wish upon a star that somehow everything would go back to normal. It’s time to eat out. Δ Flavor writer Beth Giuffre is ready to go out and about. Reach her at bgiuffre@ newtimesslo.com.

AMENDED NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: CRAIG RABINOWITZ CASE NUMBER: 20PR0075

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Craig Rabinowitz AN AMENDED PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: Gail Grimes in the Superior Court of California, County of: San Luis Obispo. THE AMENDED PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that: Gail Grimes be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE AMENDED 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 AMENDED petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: June 30, 2020 Time: 9:00 A.M. in Dept.: 9 Address of Court: Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, 1035 Palm Street, Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the AMENDED 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 a 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 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Edward E. Attala 1502 Higuera St San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Phone: 805-543-1212 June 4, 11, 18, 2020

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): During her 90 years on the planet, actor, and singer Marlene Dietrich reinvented herself numerous times. She had superb insight into the nature of shifting rhythms, and a knack for gauging the right moment to adapt and transform. Good timing, she said, came naturally to people like her, as well as for “aerialists, jugglers, diplomats, publicists, generals, prizefighters, revolutionists, financiers, and lovers.” I would add one further category to her list: the Aries tribe. Make maximum use of your talent in the coming weeks.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I was hiking under a blue sky in a favorite natural location: the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, just north of San Francisco, where sublime vistas provide views of ocean and mountain. Although I was in a good mood, at one point I spied empty Budweiser cans amid the wild jewelflowers. “What kind of nature-hater was so careless as to despoil this wonderland?” I fumed. For a few moments, I was consumed with rage and forgot where I was. By the time I recovered my bearings, the bobcat and redtailed hawk I’d previously been observing had disappeared. That made me sad. My anger was justified but wasteful, irrelevant, and distracting. It caused me to lose touch with some glorious beauty. Don’t be like me in the coming days, Libra. Keep your eyes on the prize.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Author and theologian Frederick Buechner writes, “There is treasure buried in the field of every one of our days, even the bleakest or dullest, and it is our business to keep our eyes peeled for it.” In alignment with current astrological potentials, Taurus, I’ll name that as your key theme. More than usual, breakthroughs and revelations and catalysts are likely to be available to you in the midst of the daily slog—even when you’re feeling bored. Make it your business to be on high alert for them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to novelist Octavia E. Butler, “Positive obsession is about not being able to stop just because you’re afraid and full of doubts.” That’s what I wish for you in the coming weeks, Gemini: positive obsession. It’s also what I expect! My analysis of the astrological omens suggests that you will have the pluck and craftiness necessary to veer away from murky, disturbing versions of obsession. Instead, you’ll embrace the exhilarating kind of obsession that buoys your spirit in moments of uncertainty. I foresee you making progress on your most important labor of love.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin (1824-1907), was a Cancerian physicist and mathematician who contributed to the understanding of thermodynamics and other areas of scientific and engineering knowledge. Despite his considerable intelligence, however, he was myopic about the possibility that humans might one day fly through the air while seated inside of machines. In a 1902 interview—a year before the Wright Brothers’ breakthrough experiment—he declared, “No aeroplane will ever be successful.” I suspect you could be on the verge of passing through a Lord Kelvin phase, Cancerian. You may at times be highly insightful and at other times curiously mistaken. So I urge you to be humbly confident and confidently humble!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Author Marianne Williamson tells us, “Spiritual growth involves giving up the stories of your past so the universe can write a new one.” And what exactly does it mean to “give up the stories of your past”? Here’s what I think: 1. Don’t assume that experiences you’ve had before will be repeated in the future. 2. Don’t assume that your ideas about the nature of your destiny will always be true. 3. Even good things that have happened before may be small and limited compared to the good things that could happen for you in the years to come. 4. Fully embrace the truth that the inherent nature of existence is endless transformation—which is why it’s right and natural for you to ceaselessly outgrow the old plot lines of your life story and embrace new ones.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Philosopher and astrologer Marsilio Ficino wrote, “Mortals ask God for good things every day, but they never pray that they may make good use of them.” I hope that in the coming weeks, you Virgos will disprove that cynical view of human beings. As I see it, you will be more likely than usual to actually receive the blessings you ask for. And I hope—in fact, I predict—that when you receive the blessings, you will then aggressively seek the help of God or Life or your deepest wisdom to make good use of them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I have more memories than if I were a thousand years old,” wrote poet Charles Baudelaire. Was he bragging or complaining? Did the weight of his past feel like a burden or did it exhilarate him and dynamize his creative powers? I’m hoping that in the coming weeks your explorations of your past will feel far more like the latter—a gift and blessing that helps you understand aspects of your history that have always been mysterious or murky.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re primed to navigate your way through a sweetly gritty, tenderly transformative, epically meaningful turning point in the history of your relationship with your favorite collaborator or collaborators. If that sounds too intense, you could at least accomplish an interesting, stimulating, educational shift in the way you fit together with your best ally or allies. It’s up to you, Sagittarius. How much love and intimacy and synergy can you handle? I won’t judge you harshly if you’d prefer to seek the milder version of deepening right now. Besides, you’ll probably get a chance to go further later this year.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Actor Emma Thompson tells us, “I wish I wouldn’t have to say this, but I really like human beings who have suffered. They’re kinder.” Adding to what she observes, I’ll say that for many people, their suffering has also made them smarter and more soulful and more compassionate. Not always, but often, it’s the pain they’ve suffered that has helped turn them into thoughtful companions who know how to nourish others. I urge you to make a special point to converse with people like this in the near future. In my estimation, you will benefit from intense doses of empathetic nurturing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Lake Elsinore is a city in southwestern California. Last spring, torrential rains there caused a “super bloom” of poppies. Millions of the golden-orange wildflowers covered many acres of Walker Canyon. They attracted another outbreak of beauty: thousands of painted lady butterflies, which came to visit. The magnificent explosion was so vast, it was visible from a satellite high above the earth. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re experiencing a metaphorical super bloom of your own right now, Aquarius. I hope you will find constructive ways to channel that gorgeous fertility.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Lucumi is an Afro-American religion with Yoruban roots. Its practitioners worship their ancestors, and seek regular contact and communion with them. According to Lucumi priestess Luisah Teish, “Sometimes the ancestors deem certain information so important that they send it to the subconscious mind without being consciously asked.” It’s my belief that all of us, whether or not we’re members of the Lucumi religion, can be in touch with the spirits of our ancestors if we would like to be—and receive useful guidance and insight from them. The coming weeks will be a time when you Pisceans are especially likely to enjoy this breakthrough. It’s more likely to happen if you have an intention to instigate it, but it may come to pass even if you don’t seek it. ∆
