County waste authority debates how to move forward after Board of Supervisors votes to leave

S

LO County’s Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) started its Aug. 11 board meeting in a state of shock.

On Aug. 10, the SLO County Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to do what its conservative majority threatened to do several months prior: to part ways with the agency that manages solid, hazardous, and green waste and recycling for the county, its seven cities, and some community services districts.

The very same day, the IWMA’s recently hired interim executive director, Paavo Ogren, who was brought in after the previous executive director’s June resignation to clean up the agency’s financial and operational practices, resigned from his position.

“I’m shocked to hear that Paavo did this, but I think we do need some expertise, and I feel it might be good to consider doing some kind of abbreviated search to see if we can find someone who would be willing to work with our organization through this difficult time,” IWMA board member and SLO City Councilmember Jan Marx said during the Aug. 11 meeting.

The question was who that person would be.

Should the IWMA open up a search to find a new interim director or could longtime employee and current IWMA Deputy Director Patti Toews do her job and the executive director job and help negotiate with the county over its impending departure from the IWMA? “I agree with the fact that we probably need someone to lead, to do the shift,” said Morro Bay City Councilmember Jeff Heller. “We have budgetary implications, we have a substantial budget issue to talk about, and we have a substantial membership change in the JPA [Joint Powers Authority] that we need to discuss.”

Toews weighed in, saying that whoever the IWMA hired needs to be ready to take on an agency with a history of controversy and difficult decisions ahead.

In early August, the SLO County District Attorney’s Office filed embezzlement and destruction of public records charges against once IWMA board secretary Carolyn Grace Goodrich for actions alleged to have taken place between 2014 and 2018. In 2018, then Executive Director Bill Worrell resigned the day before the IWMA’s board voted to place him on administrative leave in response to a private investigator’s forensic audit alleging that Worrell and others misused agency funds. The conclusions of that audit sparked the SLO County District Attorney’s Office investigation.

Since then, IWMA board members have

Currently, the IWMA is in the midst of trying to tighten and rearrange its budget, increase its rates, prepare for the state’s new upcoming green/food waste mandates that are estimated to cost an extra $2.3 million per year, and renegotiate the JPA. “It needs to be somebody who’s not afraid of controversy, as some of the other board members have said. We BYE BYE The SLO County Board of Supervisors voted need to find somebody that’s resilient, to leave the county’s waste management agency, which who has an incredibly thick skin, contracts with the Cold Canyon Landfill, on Aug. 10. frankly,” Toews said.

She questioned the permanent executive director.

Hospitals offer COVID-19 vaccines to all inpatients

at French with COVID-19 right now is unvaccinated, Vendegna told New Times.

In an effort to take a more “proactive” approach to vaccinations, French Hospital has started offering the COVID-19 vaccine to all inpatients at the hospital who haven’t yet received it. The free vaccine offer is now embedded into its patient discharge protocols.

“We tell them we have it available. Then that’s basically it. It’s pretty easy,” Vendegna said.

Vendegna said the initiative started two weeks ago and came out of the hospital’s preparations for the Delta variant surge.

The rollout aligned with a recent COVID-19

After nearly squashing COVID-19 this past spring, San Luis Obispo County hospitals are seeing the coronavirus return with a vengeance, this time in the form of the Delta variant, filling up emergency room beds to levels not seen since before vaccines were available.

“I think the general public is unaware of how bad this new Delta surge is,” said Dr. Tom Vendegna, chief medical officer at French Hospital Medical Center in SLO. “Just about everyone” who’s hospitalized

outbreak at the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center in SLO—which provided the hospital an opportunity to vaccinate unhoused residents who often lack access, he said.

The hospital is providing the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which makes the process simple for both the hospital and patient.

Three local hospitals are now offering the vaccine in this way: French, Arroyo Grande Community Hospital, and Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria.

or what percentage of patients accept the offer, but he’s heard that many are receptive to it.

“We’ve had a fair amount of people do it,” he said. “When we offer it and present it right, I think we get a fair response.”

Vendegna emphasized how effective and important the COVID-19 vaccine is. As of Aug. 15, about 60 percent of eligible residents in SLO County are fully vaccinated, which trails the statewide rate.

Between Aug. 10 and 17, SLO County reported four new deaths from COVID-19—including one death of a person in their 20s, the youngest ever to pass away from the virus locally—and nearly 800 new cases. On Aug. 17, 32 residents were hospitalized, including eight in ICUs. The current COVID-19 metrics are getting close to mirroring what they were in December 2020 and January 2021—the worst months of the pandemic.

“We’re getting close,” Vendegna said.

“It’s really alarming because it’s been more rapid. It’s been a lot of younger people.”

On Aug. 18, at a special press briefing, SLO County Public Health Officer Penny Borenstein “strongly urged” all businesses to ask employees and patrons to wear masks indoors, regardless of vaccination status. Santa Barbara County on Aug. 6 issued an indoor mask mandate.

“I am urging all of our business owners and all of the owners of any public setting to go along with what I’m asking of them in this moment of time, at hopefully the peak of the surge,” Borenstein said.

“There is a lot of research about the effectiveness of [masks]. It really makes a difference.”

Vendegna also spoke to the important role that masks play in reducing the spread of COVID-19.

“It’s something that’s not being addressed very well. It’s become political,” Vendegna said. “But for medical reasons, I don’t think we’re going to beat this Delta variant unless we wear masks indoors.”

SB County releases oil trucking project EIR

Almost as soon as Santa Barbara County made the final supplemental environmental impact report (EIR) available for ExxonMobil’s proposal to truck oil along highways 101 and 166, environmental advocates were ready with a response.

“ExxonMobil wants to put California communities and motorists in harm’s way, just to restart its dirty and dangerous offshore platforms,” Center for Biological Diversity Ocean Legal Director Kristen Monsell said in an Aug. 16 press release.

“It’s unbelievable they still want to use hazardous Highway 166 over the strong objections of county planning staff. These decrepit offshore platforms should be decommissioned instead of brought back to life to threaten our lives and climate.”

The project initially proposed in 2017 would restart the existing ExxonMobil Santa Ynez Unit (SYU)—three offshore oil platforms and an onshore processing facility at Las Flores Canyon along the Gaviota coast—which has been closed since 2015, when the Plains All American Pipeline ruptured, spilling thousands of gallons of oil near Refugio State Beach.

Trucking is the only way to resume the facility’s oil operations, according to ExxonMobil spokesperson Julie L. King.

It’s the sole option to transport crude oil from offshore oil platforms to to pump stations in Santa Maria and Kern County until a pipeline is available, she said.

The EIR covers trucking operations until a pipeline restarts or for seven years, whichever comes first.

“Resuming operations at SYU would bring a number of benefits to Santa Barbara, including jobs and millions in vital tax revenues for county schools, public safety, and health care services,” King told New Times via email. “Our highest priority is the safety of our employees and contractors and the people who live and work in our community.

There is a robust regulatory structure in place to monitor our trucking permit.”

According to the EIR, which the county released on Aug. 16, the trucks would enable ExxonMobil to transport an estimated 11,200 barrels of oil a day, about one-third of SYU production prior to the pipeline shutdown. Trucking would occur 24/7, with no more than 70 trucks leaving the SYU facility within a 24-hour period. Oil trucks would travel to the Santa Maria Pump Station near Orcutt, the Santa Maria Refinery in Nipomo, and the Pentland Terminal in Maricopa.

Although a final EIR was ready and slated to go before the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission last summer, Phillips 66’s announcement that it was closing both its Nipomo refinery and the pump station near Santa Maria delayed the project, county Energy, Minerals, and Compliance Division

Supervisor Errin Briggs said. The project was put on hold while ExxonMobil decided how it wanted to proceed. “[The] preference on everybody’s part [was] to use the Santa Maria facility, and as long as that facility remains open, then they will continue to use it,” Briggs said.

“The only thing that really has changed is the news that Phillips will close that facility sometime in 2023.”

When the refinery closes, all of the trucks will head north on Highway 101 and east on Highway 166 to get to the facility in Maricopa, which can pump oil into pipelines that head north to refineries in the Bay Area or south to Los Angeles.

The final EIR outlines the project, its environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions and oil spills, and outlines alternatives (including reducing the maximum number of trucks per day to 50) that could lessen those impacts. It’s available for public review on the county Department of Planning and Development’s website and tentatively scheduled for hearings before the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission on Sept. 29 and Oct. 1.

Briggs said staff’s job is to take the project as proposed, analyze it, ensure it abides by county rules/regulations, and get it to the decision makers.

“The project is pretty straightforward.

It kind of speaks for itself,” Briggs said.

“I understand that it’s an emotional issue for a lot of people, but as staff we try to maintain as factual approach as possible. … We’ve gone through that entire exercise. … It’s nice to finally get this to the decision-makers.”

—Camillia Lanham

Voters are faced with two questions on the ballot: whether or not to recall Newsom, and then, if he’s recalled, which candidate should replace him. Voters can vote on either or both questions.

“It’s not required to vote on both, but you are absolutely entitled to vote on both questions,” Nolan said. “One [vote on one question] doesn’t cancel out the other. …

If 50 percent or more of the voters vote yes [on the first question], then the person with the most votes in the second question will become the next governor.”

Nolan said one common misconception among voters is that by voting “no” on the recall question, voters can’t or shouldn’t vote on the second replacement question. She emphasized that picking a replacement candidate does not negate one’s “no” vote on the recall question.

“If the majority of voters vote ‘yes’ [to recall Newsom], you still want your voice heard on who you’d prefer to see take his place,” she said.

The gubernatorial recall election— California’s second in state history—is being administered similarly to the November 2020 presidential election, but with some local changes brought on by the SLO County Board of Supervisors.

A California pandemic order, which applies to all elections in 2021, requires that counties send every registered voter a mail-in ballot.

Voters can then return those ballots via the mail before or on Sept. 14, or at 17 dropboxes that Nolan’s office has set up throughout the county. AMUSIC full list of those locations are included in the election materials mailed to voters and are also available online.

A residence for events Chapman Estate gets support for more events

S

ince the late Clifford Chapman gifted his Shell Beach home to the city of Pismo Beach upon his death in 2012, the Chapman Estate has been open to the public for around seven months and 18 special events each year. Soon, though, the private residence turned public venue will be open year-round for up to 100 such events.

Pismo Beach City Council approved the changes in April, but two Chapman Estate neighbors appealed that decision to the California Coastal Commission.

Shell Beach residents Steven Ball and Diane Farley both argued in their May appeals that expansions to the Chapman Estate’s operations would take up already limited on-street parking spots near the coast and negatively impact the surrounding neighborhood, violating Pismo’s local coastal plan and the state’s Coastal Act. “The development was never intended for public events,” Farley wrote in her appeal, “but since the city has obtained ownership, they have greenlighted their own agenda without regard to the impacts of the everexpanding uses for the development.”

At a hearing on Aug. 12, the Coastal Commission followed a staff recommendation to side with the city of Pismo Beach, voting unanimously that there were no substantial issues with the city’s plans. Coastal Commission staff determined that the proposed expansion

would not inhibit public coastal access or rub with the neighborhood’s character.

“In fact,” the report reads, “part of the project objective is to open up the estate for more public use and enjoyment, including through recreational classes and an expanded Open Gates program, which will help to enhance public access.”

There’s adequate on-street parking in neighborhoods surrounding the site, according to the report, and the city will require organizers of larger events to provide shuttle services.

Clifford Chapman, a renowned art collector and philanthropist, purchased the property at 1243 Ocean Blvd. in 1962 and often hosted dinner parties and fundraisers for nonprofits. He left his estate, known for its sweeping ocean views, to the city on the conditions that its outdoor spaces would be shared with the community.

In recent years, the Chapman Estate has been open to the public from April through October for weekly sunset walks, lunches, and events and fundraisers with between 50 to 300 attendees, one event per day.

At a Pismo Beach City Council meeting in April, where City Council voted 3-2 to change the estate’s conditional use permit, city staff said estate-generated revenue wasn’t offsetting the property’s maintenance costs.

Permit changes enable the grounds to

Young advocated for a Mixteco interpreter to be hired at her clinic, and they brought someone on part time at first.

“Soon they realized that there were so many Mixteco patients that they made the interpreter full time,” Lopez said. “On the side, outside [Young’s] work, she started TWO DECADES Mixteco Indigena Community inviting people to these monthly Organizing Project (MICOP) is celebrating its 20th community gatherings where they anniversary this year.

It could happen here SLO could face major homelessness

I

was looking forward to traveling this summer, and travel did prove to be invigorating after the many months of COVID-19 restrictions. However, my visits to Portland and the San Francisco Bay Area provided a shock I wasn’t prepared for. Homelessness there has reached crisis proportions, and cities are in a quandary as to how to deal with it.

When I lived in Portland, its downtown area was a commercial and cultural magnet. The “Park Blocks,” a long strip of trees and flowers, were the center of the visual and performing arts area.

This strip is now lined with tents, tarps, shopping carts, and debris of all kinds.

Two blocks away near Pioneer Square, there are several pricey hotels and some

upscale stores, but this area, too, is clogged with homeless encampments. Portland, like many large cities, has had a homeless issue for some years, but in the past year it has gotten far worse due to COVID-19related loss of jobs and rental evictions.

The store closures and increased numbers of homeless residents have undoubtedly had a negative effect on the city’s financial health. Let’s not let this happen here.

I often travel to the San Francisco Bay Area by Amtrak bus and train and have noted homeless encampments and unofficial garbage dumps lining the train tracks.

These are still there. But the downtown street scene in Berkeley was more shocking than I could have imagined. Camps of

Vote no

Don’t recall Newsom

I

f Gavin Newsom does not receive more that 50 percent of the vote on Sept. 14, one of his opponents can become governor with as little as 5 percent of the vote.

That’s right, a majority is needed to vote Newsom out of office, but a majority is not needed to choose his successor. The recall system is broken.

From the 46 candidates running, the one who gets the most votes out of the whole pack will become California’s next governor, that is until the next election for governor a year from now.

HODIN

Do we want to replace Newsom so badly that we will settle on someone who does not have broad public support? I don’t.

Especially when a majority of the voters can replace Newsom in 2022 with the candidate of their choice.

It’s seems crazy to vote a governor out because we don’t agree with his policies. He has done nothing illegal. He has partnered with state senators and Assembly persons who we elected with a majority of the vote to govern us fairly.

Republicans can’t restrict the vote in California like they are doing in dozens of states. But they can twist the vote in California by using the “recall” to elect one of their own with a tiny minority of the votes.

Republicans, who can’t win a statewide office like the governorship in a democratic

election, are behind this recall. Nationwide they are spending millions of dollars to steal the election from the majority of the voters in California.

What can we do to save our state?

There is an easy solution. On the ballot you will receive in the mail there are two questions for you to answer. The First: Shall Gavin Newsom be recalled (removed) from the office of governor? Yes or no.

If you, and a majority of the voters, vote no, Newsom will complete his current term and have to run in the 2022 primary election against candidates of all parties in a true democratic election. The top two then run against each other for governor that November.

If you vote yes to remove Newsom, you are asked to choose one candidate from a

ARTS

list of 46 to replace him, if he is recalled.

This means that you know and trust the person you are voting for to do a better job than Newsom working with our Democratic Legislature. I don’t see anyone on that list of 46 who can do a better job. When you read all the names on the list, I bet you will agree.

If it matters to you what happens in California in the next year, you will vote not to remove a democratically elected governor.

In so doing, you will stop the other party from perverting our election process.

It’s not whether you like Newsom or not, but whether you value democracy enough to let it truly work in November 2022. Δ Gale McNeeley wrote to New Times from Santa Maria. Send comments through the editor at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

What ‘30 by 30’ is not

T

he 30 by 30 plan is a big deal, as I’ve mentioned a time or two in this space. The Biden administration’s recognition of the need to conserve 30 percent of the nation’s natural lands by 2030 to head off mass extinction and the worst effects of climate change entails a big plan, and it is an axiom of Newtonian political law that the announcement of any large-scale plan shall meet pushback.

A local specimen of that pushback is on view in the August issue of Atascadero News Magazine. The factually vague nature of the piece is telegraphed by multiple references to the 30 by 30 plan as “the bill” and “the Assembly bill.” But the only 30 by 30 legislation extant is an attempt to overturn Biden’s executive order, introduced by Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) and U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado), based on the fear that “Biden’s executive order would take working farm and ranch land out of production,” as reported by Brownfield – Ag News for America.

“Our legislation … would stop that right there in its tracks and say, ‘No, you’re not going to come take our land,’” Marshall said. “It’s constitutionally protected, by the way. We don’t want the government taking our land and we don’t want them forcing productive land into conservation.”

Two consecutive sentences in the Brownfield article underscore the disconnect between the whipped-up fears and the reality of the actual plan: “During a press call in early May, Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack said the plan emphasizes and rewards voluntary conservation efforts. But Marshall said using eminent domain to take private land is wrong.”

“Eminent domain” appears nowhere in the administration’s proposal, Conserving and Restoring America the Beautiful.

“Voluntary” appears 18 times. The report’s eight foundational principles include “honor private property rights and support the voluntary stewardship efforts of private landowners and fishers,” which notes that, “Efforts to conserve and restore America’s lands and waters must respect the rights of private property owners. Such efforts must also build trust among all communities and stakeholders, including by recognizing and rewarding the voluntary conservation efforts of private landowners and the science-based approaches of fishery managers.”

Which is why Sam Kieffer, spokesman for the American Farm Bureau Federation, said, “The report goes out of its way to recognize the concerns raised by Farm Bureau and agriculture in general.”

Meanwhile, California is advancing its own 30 by 30 plan, and has spent the last four months asking everyone in the state for input at online town halls. Here are a few local projects that could benefit from 30 by 30, based on what the plan really is and what it can really do: • Rehabilitate the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area: The ODSVRA is part of one of the largest intact coastal dune ecosystems in the world, containing many rare habitats that support threatened or endangered plants and animals. That’s largely why the California Coastal Commission has ordered the removal of off-highway vehicles from the park, giving the

California Deptartment of Parks and Recreation a deadline of Jan. 1, 2024, to do so. Several throw-everything-atthe-wall lawsuits from the off-road lobby aside, most residents are clear that it is time to look to the future, begin to restore the dunes, and turn the region into a prosperous, environmentally conscious California coastal community.

• Preserve the Diablo Canyon Lands: 12,000 acres of pristine, undeveloped California coastal land owned by the Pacific Gas & Electric Company will be up for grabs upon the shutdown and decommissioning of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant a few years hence. The California Public Utilities Commission must be persuaded to require the attachment of a conservation easement to the lands. The Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club is part of the coalition that drafted a Framework for Conservation of the Diablo Canyon Lands and submitted it to the CPUC in May. • Add the Smith and Klamath rivers to the National Estuarine Research Reserve System: Established in 1972, the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) is a network of 29 sites dedicated to the science-based management of coastal and estuarine environments. Two prime candidates: The estuary of the Smith River—the only remaining undammed river system in California and a salmon and steelhead stronghold—and the Klamath River, which is about to undergo the most significant dam removal project in U.S. history, allowing salmon to once again run the length of the river. The Yurok tribe, dependent on salmon for food and income, would co-manage the Klamath River NERRS and the restoration process to inform similar efforts elsewhere.

TheTolowatribe would co-manage the Smith River NERRS to maintain the river’s reputation as one of the cleanest in the world. These two reserves would represent two ends of a spectrum: A very damaged river on the brink of recovery and a very healthy river that needs to stay that way, in the era of climate change. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s budget for the current fiscal year includes funds for the expansion of the NERRS. California should collaborate with the administration’s priority of expanding the system and request designation of the Smith and Klamath estuaries.

The Shredder

Trash talk I f you want to see a microcosm of how government doesn’t work, look no further than the board overseeing the utter shit show that is the Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA)—the public agency that manages SLO County’s garbage, recycling, and hazardous waste disposal programs.

The IWMA board consists of the five county supervisors, a representative from each city (Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo), and a community services districts rep. Lucky 13!

How have they been doing? Well, IWMA’s former staff has been accused of fraud, embezzlement, and destruction of public records. The new interim director who was hired to “clean up” the agency, Paavo Ogren, quit after a few weeks on the job. He was the third director in three years. Sounds like the board’s “oversight” was a tad lacking and that the interim director couldn’t find a big enough garbage can to clean up the IWMA mess.

Now the board of 13 is trying to figure out what to do, and predictably, they’re parked squarely at dysfunction junction.

Why wouldn’t they be? The SLO County Board of Supervisors and the various city councils of the county can’t even come to an agreement about straw and single-use plastic bag bans, and then the IWMA voted for a polystyrene ban! Everybody freak out!

The three conservative supes—Debbie Arnold, Lynn Compton, and John Peschong—would just as soon burn the

IWMA to the ground and start their own agency to deal with the county’s garbage.

Meanwhile, liberal supervisors Bruce Gibson and Dawn Ortiz-Legg think the IWMA can be fixed, which doesn’t matter because they were outvoted at the Aug. 10 Board of Supervisors meeting! The county officially wants out, which threw an already troubled organization into even more disarray!

Now, the IWMA is basically a rudderless ship, and Paso Robles is also talking about a possible divorce from the IWMA. What other cities will jump ship? The question is what will happen to the millions of dollars in the IWMA’s accounts that have been collected from county residents in fees?

Show me the money!

Among this chaos is the looming issue of SB 1383, which aims to regulate organic waste. Starting in January of 2022, the new regulations take effect, which include state enforcement of a 50 percent reduction in organic waste disposal that was proposed in 2020, increasing to 75 percent in January 2025. Implementing these new regulations is going to cost money, so do we stay or do we go? A consultant estimate calculated the county would likely spend between $1.5 million and $2 million per year to deal with waste management inhouse. That’s just for the unincorporated parts of the county.

And so many choices! Conservative I mean, it’s not like the IWMA is prepared to deal with SB 1383, but will a brand new talk show host and author Larry Elder agency effectively deal with all our garbage? desperately wants you to pick him, but California throws away 6 million tons of food slow down, turbo! What about podcast waste every year, and SB 1383 requires that host David Alexander Bramante? Or half must be diverted from landfills now and pastor and software developer Sam L. three-fourths in 2025.

Gallucci? David Hillberg, actor and This is quite a mess we’re in, and the 13 aircraft mechanic? Caitlyn Jenner, people in a position to get us out of it can’t reality TV host, transgender rights get themselves together, which means more activist, and former Olympic athlete? costs to taxpayers.

Surf meets punk

Agent Orange plays The Siren

ORANGE COUNTY SKATE RATS Surf punk originator Agent Orange plays a Numbskull and Good Medicine show at The Siren on Aug. 22.

H

as it really been 41 years since a 1 minute and 45 second song called “Bloodstains” ushered in a new, decidedly West Coast strain of punk rock?

Yep. Agent Orange, the progenitors of surf punk, released a 7-inch, three-song EP that contained “Bloodstains,” which fell into the hands of KROQ DJ Rodney Bingenheimer, who played the crap out of it and included it on his seminal 1980 Posh Boy Records compilation Rodney on the ROQ. Suddenly this power trio out of Placentia in Orange County was the darling of the surf and skate scene, recording their 1981 debut album, Living in Darkness and later a 12-inch EP called Bitchin’ Summer on Posh Boy, then signing to the bigger indie label Enigma Records where in 1983 they released the 12-inch EP When You Least Expect It … and then their second studio album This is the Voice in 1986.

In addition to their originals, the band recorded punk versions surf classics such as the Chantays’ “Pipeline” and other cover oddities such as Jefferson Airplane’s “Somebody to Love.” They signed to Restless Records, which released their 1991 live album Real Live Sound. Their third studio album, Virtually Indestructible, was released in 1996 on yet another label, Gunka Disc, which basically marked the end of their recording career aside from various 7-inch singles and inclusions on compilations.

Along the way, the band was a revolving door of musicians, the only continual presence being guitarist and singer Mike Palm (currently with Perry Giordano and Sandy Hansen). Original bassist Steve Soto left to form the Adolescents, former Social Distortion bassist Brent Liles did a stint before he was replaced by Sam Bolle, who jumped ship to join Dick Dale. All told, more than a dozen people have been Agent Orange members.

Even though they didn’t record all that much and had continual band member turnover, Palm has kept Agent Orange alive with regular touring and staying true to their

original punk ethos. You can experience their thunder when Numbskull and Good Medicine present Agent Orange at The Siren on Sunday, Aug. 22 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $16 presale at eventbrite.com or $20 at the door).

Coach Lasso is without Apple Plus are sadly missing a relentlessly positive person operating in out. It’s totally worth finding a free trial a cynical world. Does he know anything or forking over a few bucks because this about soccer? Not really! Do his players is such an easy binge, it’s a no-brainer. like him? Certainly not at first. They Released once a week, we are still getting assume he’s going to be a classic “ugly new episodes out, and it’s also a show I American”—loud, arrogant, demeaning, 100 percent see myself watching again. thoughtless, and ignorant. Instead, Ted Lasso isn’t the only endearing one he’s upbeat, encouraging, insightful, in the bunch—there is Brendan Hunt and deeply committed to helping his as Coach Beard, Nick Mohammed players be the best they can be. The as underdog turned right-hand-man deck is certainly stacked against him.

Nathan, Rebecca’s bumbling assistant Team owner Rebecca Welton (Hannah Higgins (Jeremy Swift), and Keeley Waddingham) recently acquired the team (Juno Temple), who cheers the group in a messy divorce, and she’d like nothing on in her snarky but sweet way. That’s better than to see it fail, which would just the beginning. There’s a whole lot crush her ex, Rupert Mannion (Anthony to love here, and my favorite element of Head). That’s why she hired Lasso, Ted Lasso is its willingness to have hard assuming he’d flounder. Though he seems moments, to mix struggle with irreverent unsophisticated at first, Lasso’s smarter humor, and to leave the audience hopeful, than he appears, and the joy of the series and, if you’re like me, totally in love with is seeing him slowly win over not only this group of people. his players, but eventually Rebecca, and Glen You’re right!

pathos. I don’t know if Ted Lasso can sustain itself like The Office, which ran for nine seasons, but I hope it can! I want to see Lasso and AFC Richmond go the distance and win the Premier League. I also want to see these characters blossom into the good people we know they’re capable of being.

Anna I like that it isn’t all wins for this team. While they’ve got some star players and a coaching team that believes in them, they’re still the underdogs and the losses cut their morale to the quick. Ted is such a beam of light, but we soon learn that his departure from America is more complicated than just taking a job—he has a wife and a son back home, and while he loves them both deeply, his marriage is on the rocks. He does get a chance to show his son what he’s doing across the pond and reconnect with his wife, but in the end, Ted is once again alone in England.

Sudeikis is so great at being nuanced here. While his front of a happy-go-lucky, go-along-to-get-along guy allows Lasso to be a positive and inspirational influence on those around him, the character isn’t without his own anguish. It’s touching and funny, a show I hope continues on for as long as it can stay good and true to its heart. This is definitely worth the price of Apple TV Plus!

his miniseries opens as a mystery with preppy guy Shane Patton (Jake Lacy) looking utterly worn down in an airport, waiting for his plane ride home. A friendly couple starts politely questioning him about his stay. We soon learn the reason for the plane delay is a body being loaded on board, but who passed away and under what circumstances are unknown. We then jump back in time and watch as Shane and his new bride, Rachel (Alexandra Daddario), arrive on a boat along with the Mossbacher family and lone guest Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge).

We also meet the staff of The White Lotus—a bougie, gorgeous Hawaiian resort that clearly caters to the upper crust. Manager Armond (Murray Bartlett) is the easy-going, eager to please guy on the outside, but inside he’s tightly strung and close to imploding. The writers have done a fantastic job at leading

From internal conflicts within each group to drug-fueled decisions and gaslighting galore, this six-part HBO series isn’t looking to make the audience feel comfortable. This may be a love-it-or-hate-it sort of series, but it’s a total gem in my book. With the likes of Connie Britton, Coolidge, Steve Zahn, and Bartlett on the cast list, it’s hard to go wrong.

o-directors Ting Poo and Leo Scott helm this documentary about the daily life of actor Val Kilmer, using never-before-seen footage spanning 40 years. The directors dug through roughly 800 hours of home movies, some shot by Kilmer, and the voiceover narration are Val Kilmer’s words spoken by his son Jack Kilmer.

Kilmer calls his life magic, and it certainly was, but he also suffered tragedies, reversals of fortune, and failures. He’s not interested in dishing Hollywood dirt, through we do learn how much he hated the Batman suit and how disappointed he was working with director John Frankenheimer. This is instead a personal film about his childhood, training, early stage career, film career, his reputation for being difficult to work with, and how throat cancer has taken his voice.

I think one of the most amazing moments is

MOVIE STAR Val, is a revealing and sometimes tragic look into the life of movie star Val Kilmer. when he talks about what his career has been reduced to: signing autographs and collecting appearance fees. He admits that probably looks pretty pathetic to some, and he doesn’t want to insult other celebrities reduced to the same activities, but rather than being humiliated, he’s enriched by the people who come see him because his films affected them. We don’t learn everything we want to know about Kilmer by the end of Val, but we know he’s funny and humble and talented still. (109 min.) Δ —Glen

Chef and managing business partner Gonzalo Huerta constantly shakes things up, whether making a savory scone with basil and lemon for vegan, gluten-free clients, or whipping up custom cakes or truffles for special occasions.

“I love cooking,” Huerta said. “I grew up helping my mom make meals for 10 kids.”

When he left Mexico for California, it wasn’t long before he ended up in the kitchen again, ultimately landing the bakery manager position at Whole Foods in Santa Barbara.

He was lured to San Luis Obispo in early 2021 by friend Martineau, who had left a corporate job in Ventura nearly two years prior to scout a location for a future wine, cheese, and chocolate shop.

When COVID-19 hit, Martineau’s plans were temporarily sidelined until a fateful visit from Huerta. While tasting through the food vendor stalls at the downtown farmers’ market, they had a craving for dessert. The two were not satisfied with their options.

Huerta suggested to Martineau that he scrap his plans for a wine, cheese, and chocolate shop and instead open a bakery.

But while Martineau has hospitality, marketing, and project management experience, he doesn’t bake. That’s Huerta’s specialty.

The seed was planted, then Martineau

found the perfect spot—a nearly 700-squarefoot space on Garden Street formerly occupied by cheese shop Fromagerie Sophie.

He spent much of 2020 and early 2021 remodeling the shop, then recruited Huerta and announced its soft opening in June.

Hiring sufficient help has been a challenge, but Martineau and Huerta are flattered by the steady business.

“We couldn’t even have imagined that we would be so embraced by the local community,” Martineau said.

“Neighboring businesses in general have just been super supportive, and we’re already building a regular client base, which is really amazing since we’ve only been in business for a month now.”

Nancy Waltz of Grover Beach, who publishes the blog Cooking with a Side of Sunshine, visited the shop recently and met with Martineau.

Waltz took her own taste test with the following results—the truffles are

amazing if you’re into chocolate, she said, but the mini lemon tart stole her heart.

“The Kahlua truffle features a handdipped chocolate outer shell with a white chocolate drizzle, and soft, ganache-filled center,” Waltz said. “It subtly introduces the warm tones of Kahlua as it melts in your mouth.”

She also appreciated “the delicate balance of flavors” with the peanut butter dark chocolate truffle.

However, Waltz was even more impressed with the lemon tart: “It was the perfect bite size. The lemon curd filling was bright and citrusy, with just the right amount of tang vs. sweet. The homemade meringue and fresh berry garnish made for a beautiful presentation.”

Huerta is first and foremost a chocolate connoisseur, with more than 17 years of chocolate-making and cake-decorating classes under his belt. He fine-tuned his skills at bakeries in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara before partnering with Martineau to open SLO Delicious on June 30.

“I love it,” Huerta said. “I get up and I go to work, doing what I love to do, and every time that I make something and I see [a customer] smile, or I hear a comment about FLAVOR continued page 28

Martineau says the company uses pure ingredients, sourced locally when possible. For their coffee drinks, they purchase organic beans from Joebella Roasters in Atascadero. Nearly all menu items are made from scratch.

“That was one of G’s [Gonzalo’s] requirements,” Martineau said. “He didn’t want to just get something from a commercial bakery and put it in our shop and sell it. He wanted to make everything himself.”

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: GORDON C. WALRATH A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by STACY NAGATANI in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo.

The Petition for Probate requests that STACY NAGATANI be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: September 14, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: 9 VIA ZOOM, in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm Street, Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 3/14/2007. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): Alfred E Nevis, a married man as his sole and separate property Recorded: 3/23/2007 as Instrument No. 2007019344 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SAN LUIS OBISPO County, California; Date of Sale: 9/14/2021 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: In the breezeway adjacent to the County General Services Building located at 1087 Santa Rosa St., San Luis Obispo, CA 93408 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $1,459,394.61 The purported property address is: 1295 PASEO LADERA LANE, ARROYO GRANDE, CA 93420 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 044-531-056 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 855 238-5118 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA20-886961-AB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to pur-

LEGAL NOTICES chase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 855 238-5118, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-886961-AB to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.

If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A blogger who calls herself TheSaddestChorusGirlInTheWorld writes, “Having sex with someone is a big deal and involves a ton of vulnerability.

And I think it’s troubling and gross and unhealthy and, yes, dangerous that we pretend otherwise and encourage people to ‘be mature’ by compartmentalizing or completely eliminating their deeper emotions from their sexuality. And even worse, any other view is dismissed as prudish and invalid and unenlightened and restrictive.” You may agree with everything TheSaddestChorusGirl says here. But if you haven’t arrived at her conclusions, now is a good time to meditate on them. Why? Because your assignment in the coming weeks is to deepen and refine your relationship with your sexuality. Be extra reverent about your sensual longings.

Ensure that your erotic activities serve your highest ideals and noblest goals.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): At the age of 70, Libran novelist Magda Szabó mused, “I know now, what I didn’t then, that affection can’t always be expressed in calm, orderly, articulate ways; and that one cannot prescribe the form it should take for anyone else.” In that spirit, Libra, and in accordance with astrological omens, I authorize you to express affection in lively, unruly, demonstrative ways. Give yourself permission to be playfully imaginative, exuberantly revelatory, and vivaciously animated as you show the people and animals you cherish the nature of your feelings for them.

SCORPIO

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The popular American TV sitcom 30 Rock produced 138 episodes in seven seasons. At the height of its success, it crammed an average of 9.57 jokes into every minute. Its comic richness derived in large part from multitalented Taurus star Tina Fey, who created the show and played one of its main characters. She was also a writer and executive producer. I propose we make her your role model in the coming weeks. According to my projections, you’re entering a charismatic, ebullient, and creative phase of your astrological cycle. It’s time to be generous to the parts of your life that need big happy doses of release and liberation.

GEMINI

precious connection, but I’m elated that Woolf helped her make it. In the coming weeks, I expect you will encounter an abundance of influences like Woolf: people and animals and places and experiences that can bring you into more intimate contact with your soul. I hope you take full advantage.

(May 21-June 20): I got an email from a Gemini reader named Jaylah. She wrote, “Hi, not sure if you remember me, but in our past lives, you and I used to write sacred cuneiform texts on clay tablets while sitting across from each other in a cave in Mesopotamia 4,910 years ago. Your name was Nabu. Mine was Tashmetu. I was always a little jealous because you earned more money than I, but it didn’t get in the way of our friendship. Anyway, if you ever want to catch up about the old days, give me a holler.” I loved receiving this inquiry from a soul I may have known in a previous incarnation. And what she did by reaching out to me happens to be the perfect type of activity for you Geminis right now. Secrets of your history may be more available than usual. The past may have new stories to tell. A resource from yesteryear could prove valuable in the future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian-born Franz Kafka was an interesting writer and a master of language. But even for him, it could be a challenge to convey what he really meant.

He said, “I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones.” Now here’s the good news, as far as you’re concerned, Cancerian: I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will have more power than usual to do exactly what Kafka aspired to do. You will be able to summon extra ease and grace in expressing your truths. I invite you to be a connoisseur of deep conversations.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “If we wait until we are ready, we will be waiting for the rest of our lives,” declared novelist Lemony Snicket. This is good advice for you to heed right now. I really hope you avoid the temptation to wait around for the perfect moment before you begin. In my vision of your best approach, you will dive into the future without trying to have all your plans finalized and all your assets gathered. I expect you will acquire the rest of what you need once the process is underway.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Author Katherine Mansfield once told her friend Virginia Woolf, “You put me in touch with my own soul.” I’m sorry Mansfield didn’t previously have that

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do you Scorpios lie to yourselves more than the other signs lie to themselves? Are you especially prone to undermine yourselves through self-deception?

I don’t think so. However, you might be among the signs most likely to mislead or beguile other people. (But here’s a caveat: On some occasions, your trickery is in a good cause, because it serves the needs of the many, not just yourself.)

In any case, dear Scorpio, I will ask you to minimize all such behavior during the next five weeks. I think your success will depend on you being exceptionally honest and genuine— both to yourself and to others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I like being broken,” says Sagittarius actor Jamie Campbell Bower. “It means I can have chocolate for breakfast.” I guess that when he feels down, he gives himself special permission to enjoy extra treats and privileges. According to my assessment of the astrological omens, you now have the right to give yourself similar permission—even though I don’t expect you’ll be broken or feeling down. Think of it as a reward for the brave work you’ve been doing lately. Enjoy this chocolatey grace period!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) was a Jewish theologian born under the sign of Capricorn. He wrote, “Indifference to the sublime wonder of living is the root of sin.” That’s a different definition of sin from what we’re used to! To be a moral person, Heschel believed, you must be in “radical amazement” about the glories of creation.

I hope you will cultivate such an attitude in the coming weeks, Capricorn. It would be a mistake for you to numbly take things for granted. I dare you to cultivate as much awe, reverence, and adoration as you can muster.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A blogger who calls herself Hopeful Melancholy wrote a message to her lover. She said, “My favorite sexual position is the one where you work on your paintings and I work on my book, but we’re in the same room and occasionally smile at each other.” You might want to consider trying experiments comparable to that one in the coming weeks, Aquarius. The time will be fertile for you and your dear allies to work side by side; to cheer each other on and lift each other up; to explore new ways of cultivating companionship and caring for each other.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Dick Dudley was a 17th century swindler.

Among his many victims was the Pope. Dudley offered an item for sale that he claimed was a divine relic: a piece of the beard of St. Peter, founder of the Roman Catholic Church.

The Pope paid Dudley a small fortune for the treasure, and kissed it copiously. Only later did the full story emerge: The so-called beard was in fact a sex worker’s pubic wig. I hope you don’t get involved in switcheroos like that anytime soon, Pisces. Make sure that the goods or services you’re receiving—and offering, for that matter—are exactly what they’re supposed to be. ∆
