Local protest leader facing five criminal charges

t 11 p.m. on July 21, a crowd of about 50 huddled together in front of the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office, waiting for Tianna Arata to be transported to the jail from the San Luis Obispo Police Department. Arata, a prominent Black youth protest organizer in San Luis Obispo, was arrested hours earlier after a scheduled protest ended. She was charged with participation in a riot, unlawful assembly, conspiracy, unlawful imprisonment, and resisting arrest after the protest concluded. The group was also waiting for news on Elias Bautista, a member of the Santa Maria Youth Abolitionist group who was arrested and whose bail was set at $50,000. The group actively fundraised for Bautista’s bail. A press release from the San Luis Obispo Police Department didn’t disclose Bautista’s identity, however, it stated that during the arrest of Arata, “a San Luis Obispo Police Officer was assaulted by an individual, who was subsequently arrested.” The assaulted officer, the statement reads, suffered minor injuries. Arata was released around 1 a.m. on July 22, and Bautista was released around 3 a.m. Early on July 20, the press release states, the city of San Luis Obispo became aware of a planned peaceful protest that was slated for 4 p.m. the next day. Police Chief Deanna Cantrell contacted protest organizer Arata prior to the event and was assured the event at Mitchell Park would be peaceful. Protest participant Cori Ramsay said the protest included a march, speakers, chants, dancing, poetry, and music—it was peaceful. Ramsay described the protest of about 300 people as a celebration of Black, brown, trans, and queer people. The protest began at Mitchell Park and made

Murderer of SLO County man could get out early, family blames COVID-19 orders

The grandchildren of a prominent SLO County man who was murdered 40 years ago say their grandfather’s killer is being released from prison early in part because of recent state orders aimed at reducing prison populations amid COVID-19. Edward Joseph Prokop was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to 27 years to life in prison decades ago, according to court documents, after he shot and killed SLO County resident Robert Folkerts in October 1980. Folkerts, who was the owner and operator of the Nipomo Swap Meet, met Prokop as Prokop was traveling through SLO County and gave him a job and a place to stay, according to Katherin Pignatelli, Folkerts’ granddaughter. Eventually, Pignatelli said, Prokop found out when and where her grandfather deposited money from the swap meet each week, and attacked and robbed him while he was on his way to the bank, a struggle that led to Folkerts’ death. Prokop has been in prison since, but Pignatelli said that during a parole hearing on May 22, a state Board of Parole Hearings panel recommended his release in a decision unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic. Such recommendations are typically followed by a 150-day review period, in which California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation staff review an inmate’s suitability for parole. If approved by staff, the parole recommendation is passed on to Gov. Gavin Newsom for final approval. But Pignatelli said she recently received a call from SLO County Victim and Witness Assistance Services informing her that, because of a recent state effort to reduce prison populations, Prokop’s review would be expedited, leaving her family with less time to write to the governor and other officials in opposition to Prokop’s release. “It’s scary for everybody in our family because he can come after any of us after this,” Pignatelli told New Times, adding that while Prokop can’t be released into SLO or Santa Barbara counties, there’s nothing stopping him from visiting the area. Pignatelli is blaming, in part, an order Gov. Newsom issued on July 10, expediting the release of prisoners convicted of nonviolent offenses with less than a year left to serve on their sentence. Roughly 8,000 prisoners could be released because of the order, an attempt to better prevent the spread of COVID-19 in California’s prisons, which have been home to a number of major outbreaks. The order was criticized by SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow, who wrote in a statement released on July 10 that despite the order’s focus on “nonviolent” offenders, “it remains very likely that many deemed eligible for early release will be career criminals and individuals with prior convictions for violent offenses, thus releasing violent offenders.” It isn’t clear yet how many prisoners in SLO County are eligible for early release

because of the order, but a spokesperson for the District Attorney’s Office said at least 27 state prisoners prosecuted in SLO County Superior Court have less than six months left to serve and are eligible for the first round of early releases. That includes some serving time for nonviolent offenses with previous violent convictions. “I am very troubled that victims of crime and other law abiding citizens who are doing everything they can to follow state and local directives in order to stay safe and healthy will now have to wonder if they will become the next victim of a career criminal who was released early from serving their prison sentence,” Dow wrote in a statement. That’s how Pignatelli feels. She grew up without a grandfather because of Prokop, and in a family that was forever traumatized by her grandfather’s murder. “He’s just one dangerous person out of so many that are possibly coming into our community,” she said. But while Pignatelli was under the impression that Prokop’s parole review would be cut in half and he would likely be released by July 21, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said otherwise. Luis Patiño Jr., a spokesman for the Division of Adult Parole Operations, said Prokop’s parole is still under review and a decision likely won’t be made until late August. While the parole process is being expedited, Patiño said it’s being shortened by 30 days, from the usual 150day process to 120. “The thoroughness of the board’s review remains the same,” he said, “despite expedited timeframes.” —Kasey Bubnash

House defense bill includes local items on offshore wind, public lands, dive boat safety

A number of Central Coast initiatives are included in this year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)— Congress’ annual defense spending bill—which passed the U.S. House of Representatives on July 21. The “riders” on the bill, if agreed to by the Senate, would give Congress more oversight of negotiations with the Navy about the development of offshore wind farms near Morro Bay; offer environmental protections to public lands like the Carrizo Plain and the Los Padres National Forest; and instate new commercial dive boat safety requirements in light of the 2019 Conception disaster. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) announced the local items in a July 21 press release about the defense bill. “I’m pleased to see our Central Coast values are strongly represented in this year’s NDAA,” Carbajal said. After months of productive dialogue with the Navy on finding a suitable location to develop offshore wind energy in California, Carbajal said there was a setback earlier this year with new Trump-appointed assistant Navy secretaries. “There was a small blip,” Carbajal said. “The two secretaries, the conversation I had with them was not as productive and constructive as I had hoped. … We had

been working in a very constructive path to identify how to maintain the ability for [military] testing and readiness … and at the same time, do what we’ve been able to do on the Atlantic coast, and that’s have opportunities to develop wind energy projects.” The defense bill would require the Navy and Department of Defense to update and collaborate with Congress on the initiative. “My amendment ensures that the Navy does not prematurely block development of offshore wind energy projects off our coast without first coming to Congress to provide an update on their work and proposing alternative sites,” he said. Another rider on the bill would enact the Protecting America’s Wilderness Act, which extends federal environmental protections to 1.3 million acres of wilderness, including habitats and waterways in the Carrizo Plain and Los Padres National Forest. It protects those lands from future oil and gas development, Carbajal said, and would also connect the Los Padres Forest with the proposed 400-mile Condor Trail. New commercial dive boats safety requirements also made the bill. If passed, small dive boats—like the Conception, which caught fire outside the Channel Island in 2019 and killed 34 people—would be required to have at least two escape exits, have enhanced safety standards for storing electronic devices like phones and cameras, and have interconnected fire alarm systems. Because most of Carbajal’s proposals received bipartisan support, he’s hopeful they’ll pass the Senate. “I got bipartisan support, which is a big deal,” he said. “That in itself lends itself to a higher probability [of Senate support].” —Peter Johnson

Community members push for extension of local eviction moratorium

There’s a lot of confusion over existing and proposed state protections for struggling renters during the COVID-19 pandemic, and one local advocacy group is pushing San Luis Obispo County to extend its now expired moratorium on evictions. The SLO County Rent Relief Coalition, a grassroots organization that lobbies for rent and mortgage relief programs and policies at all levels of government, is looking for community members willing to participate in a project in which local faith leaders will be filmed reading anonymous stories from renters about the financial struggles they’re facing right now. Dona Hare Price, who is heading the project for the coalition, said she hopes the videos will make SLO County’s politicians realize that rent relief policies are desperately needed locally. “They need to get something in place immediately so that we can protect our people,” Price told New Times. SLO County’s moratorium on evictions is technically still in effect, but it officially expired on May 31 and its protections will end 90 days after that date, in late August.

said a local moratorium isn’t necessary because of a March 16 order that Gov. Gavin Newsom extended until Sept. 30, allowing local jurisdictions to ban evictions temporarily. But Price said the state’s order only prevents evictions in areas where local jurisdictions have imposed such moratoriums. In a clarification on the various orders regarding eviction, SLO County’s website seems to confirm Price’s interpretation, and says that the order suspends evictions “where a local government has imposed a limitation on eviction pursuant to the governor’s order.” Regardless, Price said confusion surrounding the orders is creating uncertainty. At the same time, the Rent Relief Coalition is pushing state politicians to support two pieces of proposed state legislation—Assembly Bill 1436 and Senate Bill 1410—that would offer some protections to renters struggling to pay the bills because of COVID-19. If passed as drafted now, AB 1436 would essentially prevent landlords from evicting tenants for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic, and would give tenants a year after the pandemic’s end to repay any debts. SB 1410 would give tax credits to landlords who’ve given their tenants breaks on rent. But Price said the fate of all state legislation is especially uncertain right now. A recent coronavirus outbreak among members of the California Legislature put hearings on hold until further notice, and Price said state legislators have yet to agree on whether hearings can be held virtually. So Price said the coalition is hoping for better local protections. “We have to help our supervisors realize that this is not just a moral issue, this is really economic recovery,” Price said, adding that evictions do lasting damage. An increase in evictions will inevitably lead to more homelessness, she said, a strain on homeless services, and fewer dollars going toward local restaurants and stores. “The economic impact is long-term. [Evictions are] reported and then they can’t rent again. It really is a system that is not helpful to people.” That’s the trend that Rod Richards, a minister at Unitarian Universalists of San Luis Obispo, has noticed. For years now Richards’ congregation has been running a small program that uses donations to help individuals and families in need with various expenses. A lot of the calls Richards gets, especially recently, are from people who just need help paying rent, putting together money for a security deposit, funding repairs for a car they’re living in, or paying for a storage unit for their things while they look for a new place after a recent eviction. “There are so many people who are on the edge,” Richards told New Times, “and [COVID-19] is pushing more people off.” Richards is one of the faith leaders who will be involved in the Rent Relief Coalition’s upcoming project. “Taking care of each other is how we take care of ourselves,” he said. —Kasey Bubnash

SLO, Paso Robles, Grover Beach send sales tax measures to November ballot San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, and Grover Beach will all ask voters to raise their local sales taxes this November, as city budgets continue to suffer during the COVID-19 pandemic. In meetings on July 20 and 21, the three city councils voted in favor of 1 percent sales tax measures. SLO residents will also vote to extend an existing 0.5 percent sale tax, first passed in 2014. If approved by a simple majority of voters, the three measures would raise the cities’ sales taxes to 8.75 percent. The sales tax in every SLO County city is currently 7.75 percent. “The fiscal impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly exacerbate existing fiscal challenges,” a July 21 Paso Robles city staff report read, “and put the city at risk of having to reduce essential services to potentially dangerous levels if alternative action is not taken.” While the cities had been weighing tax measures before COVID-19, officials say the need for revenue is now much more pressing. Paso Robles has a $13 million budget deficit for the 2020-21 fiscal year, according to the city. SLO revenues declined $6.5 million in the last quarter of 2019-20 and the city had to cut nearly $5 million from its current budget. “With the social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the financial gap between community demand and available resources has only increased,” a SLO city staff report stated. Across the three cities, the tax measures would generate more than $30 million annually. Officials point out that many California cities have higher sales tax rates, like Santa Maria (8.75 percent), Santa Barbara (8.75 percent), and Santa Cruz (9.25 percent), and that a large share of the taxes—70 percent in SLO— would be paid for by tourists. But not all local residents agreed. “I cannot support a sales tax increase at this time. Costs have increased on every basic daily need,” Paso Robles resident John Reynolds wrote to council members. “We are in a financial mess due to COVID-19 and must get through this before putting additional financial burdens on citizens. Some services may have to be delayed—some wants may be unsatisfied—but belts have to be tightened another notch.” Paso, SLO, and Grover Beach joined Morro Bay and Pismo Beach in placing tax measures on the upcoming ballot. Morro Bay has a 1 percent sales tax measure on its ballot, while Pismo Beach will vote on a 1 percent increase to its transient occupancy tax (TOT). Paso City Council members also considered adding a TOT ballot measure but ultimately decided to defer it. “I think that it’s going to be difficult to have more than one measure on the ballot for people to consider,” Councilmember Steve Gregory said. ∆ —Peter Johnson

Connecting the dots Contact tracers identify coronavirus cases and attempt to prevent its spread in the community

f you receive a call from a number that begins with 805-781 or 805-788, according to readyslo.org, it could be a contact tracer checking in on you or notifying you of possible exposure to the coronavirus. Any individual who tests positive for the coronavirus in San Luis Obispo County, or elsewhere in the state of California, will get a call from a contact tracer. Locally, the county’s Public Health Department employs contact tracers— trained investigators who follow up on each individual who has a confirmed COVID-19 case. The goal of gathering the information is to understand or identify patterns of the virus’ spread. Contact investigation isn’t a new tool for tracing the spread of infectious disease, according to registered public health nurse Kristen Edler. She said counties throughout the state conduct these types of investigations for diseases such as pertussis (whooping cough), measles, tuberculosis, salmonella, and E. coli. “So we do investigate those diseases in a very similar manner. Clearly, we typically don’t have this extended disease burden,” Edler said. “I don’t think it makes the news, and yet we are always working behind the scenes trying to protect the community and keep people safe.” Before COVID-19 became a concern in San Luis Obispo County, Edler said she was already working with the communicable disease (transmissible disease) sector of the county Public Health Department. In March she moved to a full-time position to conduct contact investigation and follow-up. Edler and the other 24 SLO County contact tracers conduct daily follow-up calls with COVID-19-positive individuals until they are released from isolation. Each tracer is tasked with asking when the individual became symptomatic, where they’ve been, and who they might have been around since two days before they felt those symptoms, county spokesperson Michelle Shoresman said. “They have asked specific questions about participation at protests or visits to

What’s Your We know you’ve got an opinion. Take? Everybody’s got one! This week’s online poll 7/23–7/30

bars or other places where they might have had close contact with others,” she said. The contact tracer asks for the individuals’ contact information, and if available, the contact information for people they have had close contact with during that time, Shoresman said. Without giving away personal information, unless given consent, the contact tracer will notify the possibly infected individuals of the situation and give guidance on what to do next. Tracers also issue self-isolation orders and help connect COVID-19-positive individuals with care and services, if needed. If an infected person needs medical assistance or help with getting groceries, for instance, a contact tracer can provide them with resources. Edler said she hasn’t had a typical workday since March. The number of phone calls she makes depends on what cases she’s working on, and each case is unique. “I would say anywhere from 50 to 100. When you have a case, then you’ve got to call them to speak to them, speak to their employer, and then find out all their contacts, and with things being reopened there tends to be more contacts to identify and reach out to,” Edler said. Each of those additional contacts also means she has to reach out to their respective employers. On average, one case could result in 10 to 20 phone calls, she said. The cases have increased, she said, as they’re finding that many people are beginning to socialize with their extended families. “We tend to see more contact in those situations where people are having parties and graduation parties and things of that nature and maybe not social distancing,” Edler said. Edler has a background in working in the health care field but it’s not a requirement for the position, rather it’s simply a preferred skill set, Shoresman said. Currently, the county Public Health Department is prioritizing bilingual skills in its selection criteria for the position. According to the Centers for Disease

CONTACT WEB Contact tracers in SLO County reach out to coronavirus-positive individuals to understand the spread of the virus.

Control (CDC), a large number of case investigators, or contact tracers, are needed to quickly identify contacts and ensure they do not interact with others in order to protect communities from further spread of the virus. If communities can’t effectively isolate patients and ensure contacts separate themselves from others, the CDC states that rapid community spread of COVID-19 is likely to increase to the point that strict mitigation strategies will be needed to contain the virus. State guidance says a county must have at least 15 contact tracers for every 100,000 people. Locally, Shoresman said the county is bringing on several individuals to fill contact tracing positions and have a few more about to start the process. “We continue to monitor our staffing level and will add more to our team if needed,” she said. In an effort to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus, Gov. Gavin Newsom launched California Connected, the state’s contact tracing program, and public awareness campaign in May. The state’s program is led by the Newsom administration in collaboration with the California Department of Public Health, local public health departments, UCSF, and UCLA—all of which have launched

an online training academy to develop a culturally competent and skilled contact tracing workforce. The state initially launched 10,000 contact tracers statewide as part of its plan to reopen California. Also on the Central Coast, the Santa Barabara County Public Health Department’s contact tracers participate in a variety of training, including the UC academy and California Connected program. It currently has a pool of 79 contact tracers and has about 30 to 40 contact tracers scheduled during the week, according to Suzanne Grimmesey, the county’s chief quality care and strategy officer. “Based on recent data, public health contact tracers have been able to connect with approximately 94 percent of index cases/contacts called,” Grimmesey said. Edler said that contact tracers successfully make contact with almost all the calls they make to coronavirusinfected individuals. However, if someone doesn’t pick up the phone, the contact tracer will leave a message. Some of those messages don’t get returned, but Edler urges the community to call contact tracers back to learn more about the situation and how they can help. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

Policing policy The Pismo Beach Police Department adheres to a rigorous auditing process, but what does that mean for systemic issues?

t a time when there’s mistrust in government and law enforcement at all levels, some institutions have a solid history of transparency and accountability to stand on. The Pismo Beach Police Department has that on its side. Since 2007, the Pismo Beach Police Department has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), a nonprofit formed in 1979—in part by the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives—with the goal of improving law enforcement performance through the development of best practice policing standards and review. Agencies accredited by CALEA go through rigorous training, regular audits, and have to meet hundreds of continuously updated performance and transparency standards. The Pismo Beach Police Department is the only agency in the county accredited by CALEA, and city staff say that’s made it one of the most accessible and community-focused law enforcement agencies in the region. But those hoping to see criminal justice reform and an end to systemic racism say there’s still a long way to go locally, even in Pismo Beach. “I think what it’s done is we’re in a constant state of evolution and reform,” Pismo Beach Police Chief Jake Miller told New Times. “Every year we’re taking hard looks at ourselves. … It doesn’t mean that we’re always going to play a perfect game, but I think it demonstrates our dedication to perfect effort.” The Pismo Beach Police Department has been continually working on its CALEA accreditation since about 2003, Miller said, when the then police chief heard about the organization at a conference. He was looking for a way to ensure that his department was doing the best it could, and he decided a CALEA accreditation was the “stamp of good housekeeping” Pismo Beach needed. In 2004, Miller said the department signed on with CALEA and started its self-assessment, a three-year process that included going through all Pismo Beach Police policies and procedures and bringing them up to CALEA’s standards. There were a little more than 400 such standards to meet then—each with their own set of more specific sub-standards to be met—and now there are more than 500, Miller said. CALEA’s standards of policing guide the Pismo Police Department in everything it does—from how its vehicles are inspected to when officers should use deadly force and how to report it. And the standards are always changing.

8 • New Times • July 23 - July 30, 2020 • www.newtimesslo.com

CALEA’s review committee cycles through the organization’s standards, and makes adjustments wherever needed. When that happens, Miller said the Pismo Beach Police Department sometimes has to tear down a policy and rebuild and relearn, and it’s worth it to stay up to do date. But meeting the agency’s standards is not just about policy, Miller said, it’s about proving that the policies are actually being followed, and showing that to an independent third party. Each year, CALEA examines a random 25 to 35 percent of Pismo’s standards and ensures that the department is compliant. Every four years, including this year, the Pismo Police Department has to go through a more comprehensive review process to renew its accreditation, which includes a days-long site visit, assessment, and an appearance before the commission. “It’s more ‘practice what you preach and prove it,’” Miller said. The accreditation process is totally voluntary, and Miller said most agencies that choose not to go through all the steps blame the costs—in both money and time. Pismo Beach spends about $25,000 extra a year in inspection fees and other costs to stay in compliance with CALEA. That’s not including difficult-to-calculate staff costs, and it can take a lot of additional staff time to meet some of CALEA’s standards. “But for us, having that third-party stamp of good housekeeping that says, ‘Yep, you do it,’” Miller said, “that’s it for us.” However, some community members say police brutality and racism won’t end until the policies and behaviors police adhere to change dramatically. Barry Price has long worked on issues of criminal justice reform with Bend the Arc SLO, a national organization focused on dismantling racial and social injustices in the U.S. through policy change. Recently, much of Price’s work has revolved around an analysis of local police policies, particularly when it comes to use of force. “The main finding is that many of these law enforcement agencies are just uncritically adopting these policies that they’re purchasing from Lexipol,” Price said. Lexipol is an organization that develops comprehensive and continuously updated, prewritten policies that law enforcement and other public safety agencies can purchase, download, and adopt. And that’s what most law enforcement agencies in SLO County have done, Price said. “But it’s unwise to adopt these policies uncritically because Lexipol is biased,” Price said. There are racial biases written into the language of Lexipol’s policies, Price

ACCREDITED The Pismo Beach Police Department is the only law enforcement agency in SLO County accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA).

said, particularly when it comes to issues around immigration. But what’s most concerning, he said, is that Lexipol itself was founded in 2003 by two attorneys and former law enforcement officers, one of whom has a long history representing public safety organizations in court. The policies are written to protect law enforcement from liability, Price said, not to protect community members from unruly law enforcement officers. So while Price said it’s great that Pismo Beach is holding itself accountable and following its policies, none of that really matters if the policies themselves are problematic. While Pismo Beach Police Chief Miller confirmed that his department does purchase its policies from Lexipol, he said the policies are reviewed and customized to be compliant with CALEA. Price agreed that tailoring Lexipol policies can be a great route for smaller agencies with fewer resources, but he said Pismo’s policies look pretty much like the same boilerplate guidelines most other agencies in SLO County use, even where it counts most. Although Pismo’s guidelines surrounding carotid control holds are detailed and restricted to fairly specific instances, the department hasn’t banned chokeholds altogether as so many social justice organizations, including R.A.C.E. Matters SLO, are demanding. That and a ban on shooting at moving vehicles are two of the eight law enforcement policy changes recommended in the national 8 Can’t Wait campaign, which was launched after the May 25 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. While Pismo’s policies clearly state that using a firearm to disable a moving vehicle is not effective, it can be done if “circumstances dictate that such use reasonably appears necessary to protect life.” That’s not surprising to Price. He’s had a number of extensive conversations with law enforcement regarding their policies. He’s watched the law enforcement presentations to the various city councils throughout the county regarding the 8 Can’t Wait campaign and the demands outlined by R.A.C.E. Matters SLO. He’s heard the responses from city and law enforcement leaders. “And my personal view,” he said, “is that it doesn’t appear that there will be much change in the status quo from any of these departments as a result of the 8 Can’t Wait principles.” ∆ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@newtimesslo.com.

Advocating in crisis D espite the disruptions of COVID-19, the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of San Luis Obispo County continues its work, recently training and swearing in 13 new volunteers to serve as advocates for abused and neglected local youth. “Our volunteers are pretty amazing,” said Katie Robinson, program director at CASA of SLO County. “We’ve been successful during COVID-19 to do 100 percent virtual training for new volunteers.” More than 40 local foster youth have been assigned to CASA volunteers since mid-March, as the child welfare system has carried on but has pivoted online since the pandemic. When COVID-19 hit, the Juvenile Dependency Court went to Zoom for its hearings, which kept the system from grinding to a halt. “We were really fortunate for the court here to be able to remain open so families could still get served,” Robinson said. CASA continues to play its usual critical role of advocating for the youth in that system, but the work looks a little different right now. “The workload didn’t go away. We really just had to shift to what the new normal was going to look like,” Robinson said. “Usually [the volunteers’] requirement is to see children face to face on a weekly basis. That has definitely shifted. We’re looking at ways to engage over Zoom, phone calls, FaceTime. We’ve also had social-distanced meals on the porch and in the front yard, games on the phone, scavenger hunts … . These volunteers have stepped up above and beyond to really reach them where they’re at.” According to CASA’s website, a CASA volunteer is often the most consistent person in a foster youth’s life. He or she gets to know the child on a deep and personal level, becoming a vital voice for them in the system. “They’re gathering information on the well-being of that child,” Robinson

explained. “When there is a court hearing, they write a report to the judge, and in that report it makes recommendations for what would be in the best interest of the child.” CASA and its volunteers remain hard at work, but with fewer resources. Due to COVID-19, the nonprofit had to cancel one of its main fundraisers in the spring. It plans to hold its upcoming September fundraiser virtually. “Those funds are about a quarter of our budget,” Robinson said. “We’re anticipating that we’re not going to bring in the same amount. That is a concern.” Donations and corporate sponsorships are welcome right now, as are new volunteers. “We’re making a dent in the number of kids we have on our waitlist,” Robinson said, “but we’re always looking for volunteers.” The shutdowns in response to the coronavirus mark a critical time to help out in child welfare. With families stuck at home due to COVID-19, advocates are concerned that fewer eyes and ears are on children who might be in abusive situations. Social service agencies are seeing a decrease in suspected child abuse reports, but the ones that are coming in are more acute and urgent, Robinson said. “We all have concerns around the welfare of children right now,” she said. “Families we come in contact with, they’re in vulnerable places already. When the health care pandemic comes on, I don’t think any of us feel lighter.”

Opinion We must do better

read with interest the letter “An apology is in order” (July 16) regarding the removal of the statue of Junipero Serra from the SLO Mission. The author presents Serra as a defender of California’s indigenous people and calls into question the foundation for SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon’s comment that it was a relief to see the monument no longer in our open space. It doesn’t take much more than a Google search to find the violent history of the Spanish conquest of Alta California and Serra’s contribution to it. Serra directly led the founding of the first nine missions, which served the political, economic, and religious goals of his monarch. Indigenous people were coerced to convert and then barred from returning to their families. Entire communities were decimated by the disease and abuse they brought. Violet Sage Walker, vice chair of the Northern Chumash Tribal Council, has been asking for the statue’s removal for more than three decades, and is in complete agreement with the permanent

removal of the statue. “There are no memorials to our people. There are no markers to the hundreds of our people who died building the mission and are buried in and around the grounds. We only find them when someone wants to bulldoze the area to put in a road.” I was raised up to romanticize the padres and the missions. I studied and taught about them in school. The thing is, I now know that what I learned was a story—a way to justify the subjugation of a vibrant civilization. The discomfort I feel facing the truth cannot begin to approach the pain and disrespect Indigenous Californians feel walking past a memorial to a person who was responsible for the devastation of their culture. The removal of this statue is long overdue. In the words of Maya Angelou, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” We know better now. It’s time we do better. Rosemary Wrenn San Luis Obispo

My experience as a senior peer counselor I’ve been volunteering in San Luis Obispo for many years, but not until I became a senior peer counselor at Wilshire Health and Community Services did I realize what wonderful things it did for me. Having the opportunity to go into the homes of older adults and listen to their life stories and be of some support and comfort is the greatest gift to me. Last week I spent four hours with two of the most amazing women I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. Listening to their life as it was and as it is now in an advanced age, was like a light into a dark room. They spoke of their ups and downs, how they handled them and how they might handle things if they had to repeat their life. It was an honor to meet them and to bring some level of comfort to their daily life. We sometimes laugh and sometimes cry but as our time together comes to an end we both feel like we have made some progress and are feeling grateful—they because they are listened to and supported, me because I am blessed by getting to know them. Senior peer counselors are trained to offer suggestions for resources that the community offers and give them the tools they need to contact agencies that can help them in many ways. This work has had a profound affect on me and it has been a gift to be able to offer support to my clients, watch their growth and the pride they take in their accomplishments.

Nuclear isn’t clean or renewable Many people in this county who are joining community choice energy options in order to use and support LETTERS continued page 11

Opinion LETTERS from page 10

advancing clean energy sources will be very upset when they learn our Assembly member, Jordan Cunningham, has introduced AB 2898 to amend California’s Renewables Portfolio Standard Program allowing nuclear power to be named as a carbon free and renewable resource. However, nuclear is neither carbon free nor renewable. There is a finite supply of uranium 235, which nuclear plants use to power their reactors. The ore is mined, processed, and enriched. The resulting material is manufactured into pellets and rods to contain them. All this industry and transport causes a lot of greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, during the operation of nuclear plants, CO2 is emitted with water vapor, steam, and heat. Another “renewable standard” states there is to be no waste. We certainly will have waste—thousands of tons of highly radioactive waste with nowhere to store it. The Central Coast deserves representatives who will be looking out for our health and dollars. One who will look beyond the dinosaur of nuclear power with its dangers, waste, and cost to embrace a future of truly clean sustainable power. Marty Brown Atascadero

Get Diablo closed William Gloege (“Keep Diablo open,” July 16) is using old data in his argument to keep the expensive, nuclear waste producing Diablo Canyon Power Plant open. Here’s the current data from government sources: Renewable energy is the fastestgrowing energy source in the U.S., increasing 100 percent from 2000 to 2018. Renewables are adding more jobs and employing more people than nuclear. The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s data for 2019 states that 20 percent of electricity was generated by nuclear plants and 18 percent from renewable energy sources. This does not include the additional 35 billion kilowatts of power from small-scale solar rooftop installations. According to the California Energy Almanac, in this state, nuclear energy declined from one-fifth of the mix in 2011 to less than one-tenth—9.38 percent to be exact—in 2018. Meanwhile, we were getting a whopping 32.35 percent from renewables! It’s no wonder. Nuclear costs about three times as much to produce as either wind or solar. The time for Diablo Canyon to shut down is now. Renewables are the only way to battle climate change. C. Hisasue Los Osos

I watched it fade to confusion, then sadness as I had to back away. I wanted to hug her. I wanted to match her joy at reunification in the same language she chose to express it—a hug. But I couldn’t. If we break distancing protocols, we risk hastening another shutdown. Yes, we are open now, but we cannot interact with the students in the same way. They must learn more slowly because of contact-free coaching (though I’ll admit, their verbal comprehension is likely to improve quickly). We cannot give the ecstatic high five when they master a new skill, or hold them up while they figure out how to straighten their legs in a handstand. They cannot hug their friends or their coach in triumph, and it makes them sad. It makes me sad, too. My request for any parents who read this letter is simple: Hug your child. Hug them for the teachers, friends, and family members they can’t touch right now. Hug them extra tight, and extra long, and with extra love because right now you are the only one who can.

‘Honors deferred’ Although Al Fonzi and I both share extended U.S. Army careers (Al, 35 years; me, only 34), his politics differ from mine (he’s more “right,” whereas I’m more “left”). I must commend him for his recent piece, “Honors deferred” (July 16). I could not agree more, and I have shared many similar experiences with my Black brothers in arms. My father, a World War II combat veteran, said it best, “Most of our nation’s history is not taught—it must be sought.” I hope all of you have it in you to do some seeking. Stephen H. Siemsen Orcutt

Updated Legal Notice

Do You Own or Work for a Fishing Business Affected by the 2015 Santa Barbara Oil Spill? You Could Be Part of a Class Action Lawsuit There is a class action lawsuit against Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains Pipeline”) about the May 19, 2015 oil spill near Santa Barbara. In 2017, the Court decided that this case should be a class action on behalf of a “Class” or group of people, including certain fishers and processors. Based on additional evidence and claims regarding the scope of the oil spill, the Court recently approved a change to the group of people who are included in the Class and ordered this notice. The Court has not decided that Plains Pipeline did anything wrong. There is no money available now and no guarantee that there will be. What is this case about? This lawsuit claims that certain persons and businesses (and their employees) that fished for seafood in certain areas off the Central California Coast (“Commercial Fishers”) or that purchased and re-sold such seafood (“Processors”) suffered financial losses due to the Santa Barbara oil spill. Plains Pipeline denies these claims and denies it did anything wrong. The lawyers for the Class will have to prove their claims in Court. How has the Class changed? The Court recently changed the class definition to include fishing blocks that better reflect where Plaintiffs allege that the oil went and removed some seafood species. You may be a Class Member even if you previously were not. If you were a Class Member before, your rights may have changed, or you may no longer be a Class Member. You should review this Notice carefully. You are included in the current Class if you are a: • Commercial Fisher: A person or business who owned or worked on a vessel between May 19, 2010 and May 19, 2015, that was in operation as of May 19, 2015, that landed: ° Any commercial seafood within the California Department of Fish & Wildlife fishing blocks 654, 655, or 656; or ° Any commercial seafood except groundfish or highly migratory species, as defined by the California Department of Fish & Wildlife and Pacific Fishery Management Council, in fishing blocks 651-656, 664-670, 678-686, 701707, 718-726, 739-746, 760-765, or 806-809; or • Processor: A person or businesses in operation as of May 19, 2015, who purchased such commercial seafood directly from the Commercial Fishers and resold it at the retail or wholesale level. Only Processors who purchased fish or seafood directly from the Commercial Fishers described above are included in the Class. Who represents the Class? The Court has appointed a group of attorneys to represent the Class as “Class Counsel.” You don’t have to pay Class Counsel or anyone else to participate. Class Counsel will seek fees and costs from the Court. Typically, lawyers are paid a percentage of the recovery obtained on behalf of the class or that amount is separately negotiated by the parties. You may hire your own lawyer to appear in Court for you at your own expense. What are your options? • If the Court’s change to the class definition takes you outside the Class, you are not bound by the final judgment in this case. You will keep your existing rights, if any, to sue Plains Pipeline in a separate action. • If you are included in the Class, you do not have to do anything to stay in the Class. If Plaintiffs are successful, you will be notified about how to make an individual claim for money or benefits. • If you want to keep your right to sue Plains Pipeline on your own about claims or issues in this lawsuit, you must exclude yourself from the Class. If you exclude yourself (“opt out”), you cannot get money or benefits from this lawsuit if any are awarded. The deadline to exclude yourself is August 31, 2020. If you already opted out of the lawsuit in 2017, you will continue to be excluded unless you notify Class Counsel by August 31, 2020 that you would like to cancel your request and be included in the current Class. You can find more information at the website or by calling the toll-free number below.

Up against the Balrog

ecause this is a column, and I can’t draw, and what I’m about to write is in grave danger of getting technical and there will be acronyms, I’m going to give you a visual analogy that will help you make it through the following. (And you’re going to want to make that effort because, if you are reading this, you very likely reside somewhere in San Luis Obispo County, which makes it almost as likely that you are a customer of the community choice energy program that is now providing electrical power to a large number of our residents, and this is about an existential threat to that program.) I’m also going to assume that we share some pop culture references in common. Did you read or see The Fellowship of the Ring? Remember when Gandalf met the Balrog, “a demon of the ancient world”? Remember how, after Gandalf finally triumphed and his flaming foe tumbled into the abyss, a tendril of the Balrog’s whip came floating up, wrapped around his ankle, and yanked him over the cliff? OK: Gandalf equals community choice energy; the Balrog equals the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) (and/ or California’s investor-owned utilities, the two often indistinguishable from each other); and that whip equals a power charge indifference adjustment, or PCIA.

Gandalf equals community choice energy; the Balrog equals the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) … and that whip equals a power charge indifference adjustment, or PCIA. Trust me. It’s a perfect analogy. The theory behind the PCIA—more simply, an exit fee—is that customers leaving utilities like PG&E in favor of community choice programs must still pay their fair share of the cost of the power that the utility contracted to purchase on their behalf, with a 10-year limit on such costs. That changed in October 2018, when the CPUC changed the rules, allowing utilities to stick departing customers for above-market costs of energy generation for the lifetime of the generating assets. Every community choice program has now been forced to assume the burden of the utilities’ stranded assets and contracts, seeing their competitive advantage of lower cost energy and operating costs squeezed and their revenues slashed—revenues that would have gone to community investment, electrification, and economic development—by the rising PCIA. That 2018 game-changer is only now getting its day in court. In a June 30 friend of the court brief submitted in support of an appeal of the CPUC’s decision, the California Alliance for Community Energy (CACE) gets right to the point: “The PUC … is weaponizing the PCIA: enabling the investor-owned utilities to

achieve by regulatory means a weakening of community choice that they have been unable to achieve in the legislative arena.” (For a small taste of the history of those extracurricular escapades, check out New Times’ reporting on Proposition 16 from 2009.) “When the PCIA is used as a weapon against community choice energy programs, it undermines California’s strongest leaders and champions for achieving the state’s clean energy goals, for creating the 21st century energy system, and for addressing the climate crisis.” The amicus brief concludes, “The CPUC, rather than accelerating the energy system of the future, is working to maintain the status quo, the outmoded, dangerous, and faltering monopoly utility system.” The Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility and Mothers for Peace have also filed a friend of the court brief, bringing it all back home and putting a name on those stranded assets: “The power charge indifference adjustment has enabled an uneconomic, aging nuclear power plant to operate well past its prudent useful life … . Noncustomers now absorb the majority of above-market costs for all of PG&E’s utility-owned generation and receive nothing in return for such payments. This external source of financial life-support for Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant— more than $2.8 billion over the past three years—has relieved pressure on PG&E to reduce electricity generation costs.” Or as CACE puts it: “It would be expected that utilities would shed or retire above-market energy contracts over time, and refrain from procuring high priced energy on behalf of customers they know to be departing. In practice, however, this has not been the case. PCIA charges have increased rather than decreased over time.” Or as anyone else would put it: Hey, somebody else is paying for it. Party on! In short, this is a massive threat to the financial viability of community choice as a competitive option for public power, and as such, a threat to the ability of California to meet the challenge of the climate crisis. Because this is not a movie and no sequel is guaranteed, Gandalf needs to cut that whip and disengage himself from the ancient dead weight threatening to pull him into the abyss. And he could use a hand to haul himself up from the edge of that cliff. In the real world, this is an election year. Feel free to ask any candidates asking you to send them to, or keep them in, Sacramento what they intend to do about the CPUC’s out of control exit fee for community choice customers, and when they intend to introduce legislation to bring that fee, and the utilities’ alleged regulator, under control. ∆ Andrew Christie is the director of the Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club.

Opinion

The Shredder

Fact and fiction

ey, America! Isn’t it about time that you take some personal responsibility for your actions? Well, San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson absolutely does! As he lamented a real “lack of dialogue” in this country to the Republican Party of SLO County on July 6, he lauded the real conservative value of personal responsibility—which he said was completely lacking in certain segments of the community (more specifically: criminals and Black Lives Matter protesters)—and tsk-tsked the struggle bus our country is on at the moment. “It makes it very hard,” he whined about members of law enforcement being called racist. “I have the benefit of taking off the uniform ... I truly don’t understand it.” Oh boy. So let’s break that down for a bit, shall we. He’s mad that law enforcement has a bad rap right now and people are trying to break down the systemic racism that literally built the justice system in our country. Someone needs to take personal responsibility for all of the unarmed people who die at the hands of law enforcement every year. I don’t see that happening anytime soon! He’s upset that people aren’t willing to talk about it. Yeah, me too, man. Public conversations are so important! That’s how change happens. But then, the YouTube video that

someone posted of his meandering diatribe was made private. That way only people who basically agree with him can view it. A real lack of dialogue in our community, huh? Oh wait! I get it! Dialogue is only supposed to happen if it correlates strongly with one’s own opinions! Then nothing changes, and people like Sheriff Parkinson get to stay in power. Oh! I totally get it now. Also. Parkinson seems to be adamant that he can take off his uniform. Umm, duh? Won’t you then be naked in your bare white skin? What he doesn’t seem to get is the fact that people can’t take their skin off. Black, brown, white, or other. What you’ve got is what you get. And it’s not a real surprise that he doesn’t understand how other people feel or what their life experiences are and how it shapes their worldview. That seems to be something no one in American understands right now! “Here in San Luis Obispo, we’re being trashed by this issue of something that is truly not here in that form,” he explained to the Republicans who truly believe exactly what he is saying. Oh, but dearest Parkinson, racism absolutely exists here. It exists in the racial slurs of the unhappy customer yelling at the Black store manager as he got into the Pro-Cleaners Chimney and Carpet Cleaning van

in Atascadero. It exists in the people who yell racial slurs at protesters who support the Black Lives Matter movement. It exists in the blackface that Cal Poly students “obliviously” sport to parties. It exists in the racist graffiti tagged at Grover Beach Elementary School. And if all of that racism is alive and well in the SLO County community, then how can you believe that it doesn’t exist within the ranks of county law enforcement. Ignoring it and choosing not to see it is the single biggest issue. Because it also exists in you mentioning that white protesters are the ones yelling at law enforcement in SLO County. There are Black people at those protests, too, and they are also screaming to be heard by law enforcement. They have been the ones organizing these protests we’ve had. And you clearly haven’t heard them. Not only have you not heard them, you make it sound like they don’t exist here. And they do exist. They exist like racism exists. And the dialogue you lament the loss of is actually happening. It’s happening right now, as this community discusses the recent protest that culminated with the arrest of

organizer Tianna Arata. A car window was busted over the head of a 4-yearold child. A protester was run over by the same car. The way we view that situation and who’s at fault depends on our worldview and the people we choose to discuss it with. The protest was disruptive and loud, which is exactly what protests are meant to be. It was full of anger, but it was also full of joy. It was conflicted, like we are conflicted. And it was partly a response to that 20-minute speech that Parkinson made to the Republican Party of SLO. That is dialogue. Callout and response. Callout and response. And boy, doesn’t it suck to be called out for something you said? Unfortunately, most of our dialogue is happening on Instagram feeds and Facebook posts. It’s happening in the echo chambers we love to revel in—those reassuring places where we hear only the words we want to hear: Your opinion is the right opinion. Their opinion is wrong. Don’t listen. Those are the places where what you believe about a situation will become fact—whether it is actually a fact or not. And fact at the moment is a tricky thing. Because fact is now part of our belief system. We see what we want to see and hear what we want to hear. Dialogue actually involves engaging with the other side and doing this little thing called listening. ∆ The Shredder lives on the struggle bus. Send comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

“T

hink I’m waiting on ice and I’m going crazy. I’ve been waiting all night in my head lately. I’ve been waiting on ice just to break beneath me (I’ve been waiting all night). Lift me out of control. I fantasize, doing time, I’ve been lying. Been moving so slow, drag me out of my soul. Lose my mind, every time, changing sides, I wanna lose control.” On Maeve Steele’s new single “No Control,” the Nashville-based singersongwriter seems to channel the stress so many of us have been suffering through—that feeling that we can’t do what we want, that we’re too much in our own heads, that we want to throw up our hands and lose control. Originally from the Bay Area, selfdescribed “pop-noir” and “blue-velvet vocalist” has released a couple of singles—“No Control” and “Full Moon”— and as a lead-up to the release of her debut EP, Barefoot, she’s traveling down the California coast on a virtual tour to benefit the fight against nationwide hunger. On Wednesday, July 29, she’ll livestream a performance for the SLO Food Bank at 3 p.m. “In lieu of ticket sales, Maeve has chosen to perform multiple livestreams to raise money for various hunger relief organizations along the California coast,” her rep Anna Castle wrote in an email. With the pandemic curtailing the livelihoods of many local residents, now more than ever the SLO Food Bank needs our help. The local nonprofit believes that everyone has a right to nutritious food.

South County resident Merrell Fankhauser keeps seeing his music turn up in interesting places, from compilation CDs dedicated to space aliens to major Hollywood films. “Just found out from my Hollywood agent that ‘LILA’ from the Fapardokly album is in this new movie!” Fankhauser emailed. “Was set for October release but probably won’t be out till next year due to COVID. Amazing how songs from that album keep coming back into the spotlight!” The film in question is The Trial of the Chicago 7, which was written and directed by Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing, A Few Good Men, Molly’s Game) and stars Eddie Redmayne, Alex Sharp, and Sacha Baron Cohen. It chronicles the trial of seven people— Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines, and Lee Weiner—who were charged with conspiracy, inciting to riot, and other charges related to antiVietnam War and counterculture protests around the 1968 Democratic National Convention.

R.A.C.E. Matters SLO and Harold J. Miossi Art Gallery co-host The Laboratory Series

The Laboratory Series, a new artist showcase program co-hosted by R.A.C.E. Matters SLO and the Harold J. Miossi Art Gallery, kicks off with its first webinar through Zoom on July 23, from 5 to 6 p.m. The event will include a performance and Q-and-A conversation with featured artists Ayana Evans and Tsedaye Makonnen. Evans is a New York City-based artist who uses her artworks to pursue how her conscious body is perceived as it operates in “artistic and social sphere,” according to press materials. After getting her Bachelor of Arts degree in visual arts from Brown University, Evans went on to receive an Master of Fine Arts degree in painting from Temple University. Evans often tackles themes of race, gender, and sexuality in her performance art pieces, including with Makonnen, her longtime collaborator. Makonnen is an interdisciplinary artist who uses her various studio, curatorial, and research projects to examine “her identity as a daughter of Ethiopian immigrants and a Black American woman, as well as her experience as a doula and a mother,” according to press materials.

Fundraising

BY GLEN STARKEY

Desperation breeds innovation Paso Robles Youth Arts Foundation hopes to close a funding deficit with an online auction

ike many nonprofits, the Paso Robles Youth Arts Foundation (PRYAF) works tirelessly to fund its programs that serve nearly 400 5- to 18-year-old students. The foundation receives no government funding and relies entirely on donations, community gifts, and private or public funding. Due to the pandemic, the organization’s doors have shuttered, and it finds itself with a $46,000 budget shortfall that normally would have been met through fundraising events. Starting Friday, July 24, at 7 a.m., PRYAF will hold an online auction that will run through Sunday, Aug. 2, at 8 p.m. You can bid for original art at pryaf.givesmart.com. New Times conducted an email interview with PRYAF Development Director Emily Jagger, who explained that “PRYAF has always been supported by the generosity of the community. Fundraisers such as our signature Dining with the Arts Gala, plays, musicals, and other live performances are how we connect best with donors. Guests can’t help but feel the magic when they walk through the Center doors. The walls literally hum with excitement, and they know the students had a hand in everything they see—from the decor to lighting, sound, costumes, music, choreography to the art they see on the walls. It’s all part of the experience.” Of course, in-person fundraising might be on hold for a while, but PRYAF is still working to meet the needs of its students. “We do a lot of fundraising to ensure we can continue to offer our classes at no charge to families,” Jagger continued. “Our auctions are a big part of our annual budget. Along with our own events canceled, there are other local events of which PRYAF is the beneficiary, such as the Paso Pinot & Paella Festival that has directly funded PRYAF for 14 years. We partner with a variety of restaurants, shops, and wineries for smaller pop-up fundraisers. All of which have been canceled, leaving PRYAF at a growing loss.” Jagger hopes the online auction will help PRYAF continue to serve the greater Paso

Robles area. “The idea for an online art auction came about because the art community is where the idea for PRYAF started,” she explained. “In 1998, artist and philanthropist Donna Berg founded the organization alongside local leaders and artist colleagues. It was no surprise that some of those same artists were the first to reach out and express their interest in helping the organization stay open during the crisis. More so, they wanted the students to continue to benefit from the mentorships through all that we teach at PRYAF, whether it be virtual or live format.

sing the Matt Lauer sexual harassment scandal as a jumpingoff point, The Morning Show looks at the lives of those responsible for creating a popular early morning news program that was recently rocked by the firing of longtime co-host Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell), a second-wave “victim” of the #MeToo movement. Co-host Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) knows her place on the program is tenuous, so in an attempt to force her network to keep her on, she preemptively announces that brash TV rewporter Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon), who recently gained attention from a viral video, will be her new co-host. Backed into a corner, network President Fred Micklen (Tom Irwin) and corporate executive Cory Ellison (Billy Crudup) are forced to see where it all goes, with the TV show’s executive producer, Chip Black (Mark Duplass), being played like a pawn between the powers that be. (10 60-min. episodes) Glen If you’re a fan of early morning news shows or if you dream of being a TV personality like Katie Couric, this TV series might very well cure you of those affinities. First of all, being a part of a show like this seems exhausting, no matter how good the money is. It’s also a cutthroat business, embodied in Crudup’s Machiavellian corporate killer, Cory, who takes absolute glee in throwing a monkey wrench into The Morning Show to up ratings. Aniston’s Alex is hanging on for dear life, and she’s both angry at Carell’s Mitch for destroying their team and professional lives but also still sympathetic to him. The question is under whose watch was Mitch allowed to use his power to sexually harass young women working on the show? As the novice newcomer with a fierce sense of ethics, Witherspoon’s Bradley is the loose cannon, who has the power to save the show or destroy it. There’s also the side plot with assistant show booker Hannah Shoenfeld (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), one of Mitch’s sexual conquests, as well as two other show colleagues—show meteorologist Yanko Flores (Néstor Carbonell) and production assistant Claire Conway (Bel Powley)—who are in a consensual sexual relationship

Voted Best Indian Food!

eason 1 wasn’t as good as the 2011 film upon which it was based, and season 2 isn’t as good as season 1, but Hanna is still an engaging action drama that will appeal to fans of female-centric action (think La Femme Nikita, Salt, Atomic Blonde, Red Sparrow). If you don’t recall, season 1 ended with Hanna infiltrating the compound where a new group of young female super

soldiers are being trained, where she escaped with Girl 242, who has taken the name Clara (Yasmin Monet Prince) and traveled back to the Romanian forest where Hanna (Esme Creed-Miles) lived with her “father,” Erik Heller (Joel Kinnaman), who was killed in season 1. The two young women seem to be settling into their life, but then Clara sees a photo of a mother and daughter in a cabin they’ve raided for supplies, and she suddenly longs to find her own mother. She leaves Hanna but is promptly recaptured and returned to The Meadows, where the other girl soldiers have moved to complete their training. What follows is Hanna’s attempt to rescue Clara with the aid of her previous enemy, Marissa Wiegler (Mireille Enos). (8 47- to 55-min. episodes) ∆ —Glen

Still standing After yet another order to shut down, Paso Robles creates more patio space at restaurants and in the city park

ur county was opening up. We had a good, solid month there. As Mary Poppins would say, things were on their way to becoming “practically perfect in every way.” Chefs were increasing their orders for food. Waiters and bartenders and tasting room staff were hired back after months of unemployment. Musicians dusted off their strings and brass and made debuts at local eateries. Some children and their parents were let out of their time-outs. And as long as diners followed the rules laid out on the signage, people were able to sit at tables in places other than their own kitchens. And then, effective July 13, our food and wine establishments were ordered closed. Sigh. Look at other places in the state, and you’ll find little to no life, and yet, the good people of Paso have made a to-go dining area in their central park: the Downtown Park Safe Dining Area. Located across from the playground on the Spring Street side, it’s manned by a concierge, who will guide you to your own sanitized table where you can bring your takeout, wine, beer, and/or cocktails from one of Paso’s many open restaurants. Recently I popped into a downtown Paso spot that I’ve been wanting to try for two years—Jeffry’s Wine Country BBQ—and took my to-go to the park. People are loving the pretty lights and the European vibe. But others are grateful that many Paso restaurants are designed around an outdoor space already. At Jeffry’s, you will probably see chef Jeff Wiesinger himself, and he will most likely be involved in making your food. The entrance to Jeffry’s is in Norma’s Way Alley—kind of a speakeasy vibe, entering through the side street. Once you’re in, you’re still out. What I mean is, Jeffry’s has always been an openair establishment. It was almost perfectly designed for the time of COVID-19 with an open, covered patio, a fresh breeze, the scent of smoked meat wafting through the air around widespread tables, and a walk-up counter. Both young and old were there the weekday I came by for my to-go adventure, and the place was hopping with people coming and staying in a constant flow. Like so many of the downtown food joints, Jeffry’s makes it less about the pandemic and more about getting back to living. They follow the rules, but you don’t feel like you’re going to do something wrong, if you know what I mean. I ordered Jeffry’s upscaled classic

DESIGNED FOR AIR FLOW Jeffry’s Wine Country BBQ, open for two years now in downtown Paso, has always offered a patio with plenty of space for outdoor dining.

pulled pork sandwich with the Mac & Cheese Festival-winning four-cheese noodle side, and a “low and slow” smoked tri-tip sandwich in a house rub with a sesame ginger slaw. After talking with Wiesinger about how much my car full of young teenagers was going to love the flavor coming out of his smokers, I ended up with another couple of boxes of sandwiches, including the chicken sandwich on a fresh toasted brioche bun with delicious sides. Lately, Jeffry’s BBQ sampler plates have been the talk of the town, but his paella is also an award-winning local legend. He even makes a paella burrito, which I have never heard of in my life until now. The house-made barbecue sauce is nothing short of dynamite, and the fries and potato chips are deliciously made from scratch and seasoned to perfection. “Dining outside is the only option these days,” said Wiesinger, owner and executive chef (and sommelier), “and I’ll tell you what? I say a lot of prayers … keeping the energy positive.” Wiesinger’s sides make me stay positive. “This is the house that mac and cheese built,” he told me.

ON CUE I ordered my Jeffry’s Wine Country BBQ sandwiches to-go to eat, picnic style, in the Downtown City Park. The tri-tip and chicken sandwiches were served on fresh, toasted brioche, served with mac and cheese and sesame ginger slaw sides.

For the first three weeks of COVID-19, he said he sheltered at home like the rest of us. “We bob and weave through what life throws at you,” he said. He kept in touch with his customers and loved ones through making videos and social media. “That was huge for us,” he said, adding that the community gave him a lot of support as he transitioned to to-go service only. “Like everybody, we were struggling, but we were struggling a lot less than some other places, I would imagine.” Wiesinger lives in Templeton and is a stepdad to two grown daughters, one who just graduated from Cuesta College and another who attended the Fashion

Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. Both occasionally work at Jeffry’s. He said the silver lining of COVID-19 was deciding to spend more time with his family by closing the restaurant two days a week. Originally from Thousand Oaks, Wiesinger began his culinary and food service education at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island. A snowboarder at the time, he worked as a chef in fabulous restaurants in ski resort towns and then went on to Restaurant Lulu in San Francisco. In 2011, he moved to Paso, taking a general manager position at Vinoteca Wine Bar. He started his own personal chef FLAVOR continued page 21

and catering services in 2007, and people might know him from having a kitchen at Grey Wolf Cellars & Barton Family Wines. His catering/food window, Barton’s Kitchen Window, pumped out some really fine food and signature items that got so popular, he still serves them now. He opened Jeffry’s Wine Country BBQ about two years ago, when a space (a former parking lot, actually) became available, which he simply couldn’t pass up. “I was a chef before I was a restaurateur, so for me it’s always been about the food,” he said, adding he always wanted a casual, chef-driven place. He likes that his place has been popular with tourists and locals, families and couples, and he likes to get involved in local charity events. Recently he helped with a fundraiser for SLO County Sheriff’s Deputy Nicholas Dreyfus, injured in the recent Paso shooting.

Wiesinger was on the call for a special City Council meeting on July 15 to weigh in on opening up the street for dinein. Paso Mayor Steve Martin had been checking in with business owners like Wiesinger to brainstorm ideas on how to keep the restaurants open. Wiesinger said he was glad to be included. City Council directed staff to continue working with downtown stakeholders and other local businesses to immediately implement a downtown street closure pilot program, directing staff to pursue half-street or one-way street closures with safety barriers, and to defer permit fees. This will remain in effect until 30 days after the state closure is lifted. The sidewalk dining permits should be available as soon as possible. ∆ Flavor writer Beth Giuffre is ready for another picnic in the park. Send food ideas to bgiuffre@newtimesslo.com.

Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and CA Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.) has been issued on June 1, 2020, for this project. Mitigation measures are proposed to address Biological Resources and are included as conditions of approval. The Environmental Document is available for public review at the Department of Planning and Building, at the below address. A copy of the Environmental Document is also available on the Planning and Building Department website at www. sloplanning. org. Anyone interested in commenting on the proposed Environmental Document should submit a written statement and/or speak at the public hearing. Comments will be accepted up until completion of the public hearing(s).

(April 20-May 20): Author Diane Ackerman tells us, “So often loneliness comes from being out of touch with parts of oneself.” That’s the kind of loneliness I worry you may be susceptible to right now, Taurus. You’re a bit out of touch with aspects of your psyche that are crucial for you to include in your total sense of self. You’ve been neglecting to nurture certain soulful qualities that keep you healthy and wise. Please note: It won’t be useful to try to find those parts of you in other people; you will have to locate them in your own depths. Here’s the good news: The coming weeks will be an excellent time to do just that.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): “Someone ought to do it, but why should I?” Author and activist Annie Besant identified that sentence as the motto of people who are moral cowards: those who know about an injustice but do nothing to address it. Very few of us have completely avoided that behavior. Most of us, including me, have now and then chosen to serve our need for comfort instead of standing up against corruption or unfairness. But I think it’s more important than usual that you Geminis don’t engage in such moral cowardice now. More depends on your integrity and bravery than you realize.

(June 21-July 22): Born in 1936, Cancerian author and activist June Jordan was a black feminist bisexual born to Jamaican immigrant parents. When she was growing up, her father beat her and her mother committed suicide. Later, she raised her child alone as a single mother. Despite the challenges she faced, she published 28 books, won numerous awards, and wielded significant influence. How did she do it? She was a highly evolved Cancerian in the sense that she put a priority on treating herself well. “I must undertake to love myself and to respect myself as though my very life depends upon self-love and self-respect,” she testified. I’d like to make that your keynote for the rest of 2020. Your task is to achieve June Jordan levels of self-care.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “How can I communicate to wild bunnies that I am their ally?” asked a Twitter blogger named Ghost Girl. That question is a good place to start my oracle for you. In the coming weeks, I think you’ll be wise to meditate on how to enhance your relationship with all kinds of wild things: animals, people, weather, landscapes, and your own exotic thoughts and fantasies. In my opinion, you will upgrade your intelligence and well-being by increasing your access to influences that don’t necessarily play by conventional rules and that draw their energy from primal sources.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s never too late to have a rebellious adolescence—hopefully bigger and better and smarter than any you’ve had before. And according to my analysis, now would be a favorable time to get started. Is there any stuffy authority you’d be wise to flout? Any dumb and oppressive conventions you would benefit from breaking? Any stale old traditions you’re primed to ignore so you can create some lively new traditions? In my estimation, you will generate good fortune for yourself if you try some benevolent mischief and creative experiments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your word of power for the coming weeks is ubuntu, a Zulu term meaning “I am because we are” or

“the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.” Nobel Prize-winning theologian Archbishop Desmond Tutu writes, “A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished.” I hope that between now and Aug. 25, Libra, you will put ubuntu at the center of everything you do. Make it an intensely practical practice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them,” says Scorpioborn Liberian politician Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. “If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.” I trust you’ve arrived at this realization on your own in the past few weeks. And I hope you have audaciously expanded and supercharged your dreams so that they do indeed surpass your current ability to accomplish them. If you have not yet done this daring work, please attend to it now. If you have done it, move on to the next step: making definite plans to acquire the power and resources necessary to achieve your new, improved dreams.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The soul should always stand ajar,” wrote Sagittarian poet Emily Dickinson, “That if the heaven inquire, / He will not be obliged to wait, / Or shy of troubling her.” I’m confident that this will be a fertile meditation for you in the coming weeks. So what does it mean? By “heaven,” I assume Dickinson meant marvelous interventions, sacred revelations, and lucky accidents—and maybe also soulful invitations, out-of-the-blue opportunities, and supernatural breakthroughs. What do you think, Sagittarius? What can you do to make your soul ajar for phenomena like those?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Everything is complicated,” wrote poet Wallace Stevens. “If that were not so, life and poetry and everything else would be a bore.” I agree! And therefore, I conclude, you should shed any resentment you might feel for the fact that our world is a crazy tangle of mystifying and interesting stories. Drop any wish that life will stop being so fascinatingly messy and confusingly intriguing. Instead, why not celebrate the deep riddles? And revel in the intriguing complexity? And give holy thanks for the paradoxical beauty? Everything I just said should prepare you well for the next four weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be extra sensitive to stimuli in the coming weeks. Every little event will touch you more intensely than usual. Every perception will flow into you with an unusually strong potential to move you and influence you. That’s why I think you should be vigilantly self-protective. Erect a psychic shield around yourself. Make sure your boundaries are firm and clear. Affirm your unshakable commitment to deflecting vibes that aren’t of use to you and welcoming vibes that will enhance your well-being.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Actress Gwyneth Paltrow founded Goop, a company that markets exotic, expensive health treatments. She claims that far-infrared gemstone therapy and crystal-based sound-healing baths will dissolve your negativity. Allowing bees to sting your scars will supposedly cause the scars to fade. Drinking “sex juice,” a blend of watermelon and alkaline water, will enhance your libido. The “collagen martini,” which is a mix of vodka, vermouth, olive juice, and collagen peptides, will smooth your skin’s wrinkles. I’m favorably disposed to you taking strong actions to improve your well-being in the coming weeks, Pisces, but I recommend that you try cheaper, more reliable modalities than those Paltrow recommends. Like what? Ample sleep and good food, for starters, along with fun exercise, time in nature, enjoyable meditation sessions, and tender expressions of love. ∆
