Local Republican Party offices face scrutiny for ballot collecting operation

T

he San Luis Obispo County clerk-recorder paid a visit to the Republican Party of SLO County headquarters in Atascadero on Oct. 14 to “clarify” with party officials the procedures for lawfully collecting ballots and submitting them on behalf of voters.

Clerk-Recorder Tommy Gong’s visit occurred a day after news broke that the California Republican Party had distributed its own ballot drop boxes throughout the state, competing with official ballot drop boxes.

Some of these boxes are made of metal, with an “official ballot drop box” label, and located unsupervised outdoors. California election officials said on Oct. 12 that the partisan boxes violated election law—though Republican Party leaders disagreed.

Since ballots hit SLO County mailboxes this month, the local Republican Party has advertised its two offices in Atascadero and Arroyo Grande as places where voters can drop off their ballots.

While election law allows third parties to submit ballots on behalf of voters with their approval, specific procedures must be followed— procedures that Gong went over with party officials on Oct. 14.

“We reviewed what the proper process is,” Gong told New Times. “I clarified that there is to be no ballot drop box located in the building where the voter can just drop it off. The backside [of the envelope] has to be completed when a voter is giving it to them.”

According to one local voter who visited the Arroyo Grande office, the Republican Party appeared to be abiding by some of the rules but not others.

When Grover Beach resident Krista Jeffries walked into the party’s office on Oct. 8, it was staffed by three or four workers, none of whom were wearing masks, she said. One staffer helped Jeffries through the ballot submittal process, which included scanning her ballot envelope and then Jeffries dropping the ballot into a drop box.

At the end of each day, party officials reportedly deliver the ballots in the drop box to the SLO County Clerk’s Office.

“I was honestly just curious,” Jeffries, who’s not a Republican, told New Times about her submitting her ballot through the party’s office.

“I decided to test this system, before news broke out that the entire state party was under fire.”

In a phone call later on Oct. 8 with the Republican offices, Jeffries inquired further about the ballot submittal process, recording the conversation and posting it to social media.

Rideshare companies dump $180 million in Proposition 22 Proposition 22 on this year’s California ballot reexamines whether gig workers for app-based transportation and delivery are independent contractors or if they’ll continue to be categorized as employees, which state law currently requires.

ON VOTERS’ BEHALF The Republican Party of SLO County has promoted its offices in Arroyo Grande (pictured) and Atascadero as voter ballot drop-off locations, raising questions about whether they comply with election law.

in Arroyo Grande is heard telling Jeffries that her ballot envelope had been scanned “to prove we accepted your ballot” and then explained that the party was choosing not to sign the required third-party authorization section on the back of the ballot envelopes, because “we don’t want to flag anything” at the ClerkRecorder’s Office.

“We decided not to have the person who picks the ballots up and takes them into the county recorder’s office—we decided it’d be better if they did not sign it,” the staff member tells Jeffries.

“Because it’s the same person every day taking all these Republican votes in … we thought it’d be better just to leave it as if you just dropped your ballot off at the recorder’s office, without anybody else in between. We’re doing everything legitimate and everything perfectly correct, but it’s just there’s so much fraudulent stuff going on now and they’re always watching out for everything Republican. We don’t want it to become an issue.”

According to the California Secretary of State’s website, third parties who deliver ballots on behalf of voters “must fill out the authorization section found on the outside of your ballot envelope … in order for [a] ballot to be counted.”

In response to the Republican office’s statements, Gong told New Times that his office would still accept those ballots even without the authorization signature. He said it’s his job to liberally construe election law in favor of the voter.

“I won’t penalize the voter,” Gong said. “As long as their signature compares, I will accept it.”

Gong noted that his office had been in touch with the Republican Party prior to ballots going out to voters about its intent to collect ballots at their offices. He said that the rules were explained to party officials at the time, but added that election laws are changing rapidly and are not always easy to understand.

“We did indicate to them that that section has to be completed when the voter drops them off,” he said. “But that law allowing people to return ballots on behalf of the voter, that’s a relatively recent piece of legislation. I’m not blaming anyone. It is a new learning process.”

Republican Party of SLO County representatives did not return a New Times request for comment before press time. As of Oct. 14, the party’s website no longer advertised its offices as ballot drop-off locations. Δ —Peter Johnson

The proposed law, created by Uber, Lyft, Instacart, and Doordash, would exempt appbased transportation and delivery companies from providing employee benefits to certain drivers and reclassify drivers as independent contractors. According to campaign finance reports, as of Sept. 4, Uber, Lyft, Doordash, and Instacart have collectively poured more than $180 million into their initiative Yes on 22.

Lyft and Uber driver Justin Vitcov, 42, said

he believes the proposition also sets a dangerous precedent for the potential future of the gig economy.

He’s against the proposition.

While the proposition is industry-specific and only going before the voters in California, if passed he said, other industries might want to benefit from the exemption, and the rideshare companies could place the initiative on the NEWS continued page 6

ballot in other states as well.

“Under Proposition 22 we’re still defined as independent contractors but it takes away our ability to negotiate the terms of that contract,” Vitcov said.

Vitcov is a Santa Cruz native who started driving for Uber and Lyft in 2018 on the cusp of a career change. He needed a flexible job to cover his expenses while he returned to school.

He said he focuses on commuter hours in Silicon Valley but takes pickup requests in Santa Cruz as well.

“My goal is always to bring home about $30 to $40 an hour range. But of course when you subtract car expenses, gas, and whatnot you’re of course taking home a lot less than that,” he said.

On top of driving for the ridesharing apps, Vitcov also has a few independent contracting jobs that he works throughout the year to make ends meet.

With the other independent contracting gigs, Vitcov said he meets with his direct employer when the contract is up at the end of the year and discusses its terms, including wages.

“That doesn’t happen with Uber and Lyft. You go online, sign up, and read their fine print contract agreement. And then as time goes on, you find out that they can change the rates that they’re paying you literally overnight. Sometimes you log into the app and the rates have changed,” he said.

Vitcov is a member of the Rideshare Drivers United, an organization working toward a fair, dignified, and sustainable rideshare industry. Its advocating for voters to vote against the proposition.

Proposition 22 comes a year after California passed Assembly Bill 5, which was designed to determine a worker’s status as an independent contractor or an employee. Under the bill that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2020, companies were forced to provide their drivers with health insurance, paid time off, and other benefits.

Under the Assembly bill, a worker is an employee rather than an independent contractor unless the hiring business can prove otherwise through an ABC test.

The test includes whether the person is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity; whether the person performs work that is outside the usual

course of the hiring entity’s business; and whether the person is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed.

Proponents of Proposition 22 include the Yes on 22 coalition. They say that a vote in favor will keep the job flexible with guaranteed hourly earnings and per-mile compensation, implement new public safety protections that include background checks, and keep app-based services affordable for users.

According to an independent study by the Berkely Research Group, if Proposition 22 gets voter approval, rideshare companies will be on the hook for providing their drivers with benefits that could come at a cost to app users.

The analysis found that rideshare service consumers could pay increases ranging from 25.9 percent to 100 percent in some markets—meaning a typical ride across town would cost between $19 and $30.

The study also concluded there could be “a reduction of the customer base served to only those persons residing in the most densely populated areas of the state— meaning little or no service to most Californians living in rural or suburban areas of the state.” The consulting firm also reported that drivers’ average hourly compensation could be reduced from $19.55 per hour to approximately $14.67 per hour under the employment model.

Lyft shared the report via its website.

SLO prepares for another clear-out of Bob Jones homeless camp

Just five months after the last homeless camp cleanup on the Bob Jones Trail, the city of San Luis Obispo is preparing for another in the same area slated for Oct. 19, a move that’s drawing criticism from homeless advocates due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and recent positive cases at the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center.

Assistant City Manager Shelly Stanwyck said the upcoming cleanup is an effort to address the health and safety NEWS continued page 7

News NEWS from page 6

concerns at the camp, which is situated along the Bob Jones Trail and San Luis Obispo Creek. Homeless camps near SLO Creek are always problematic, because drainage from piling trash, rodents, bugs, and human waste could make its way to the waterway.

Stanwyck said that along with numerous outreach efforts at the camp throughout October, city staff hosted a Services and Support Outreach Forum on Oct. 14 at the Bill Railman Memorial on the Bob Jones Trail, where individuals experiencing homelessness were able to connect to housing, medical, and mental health services prior to the cleanup.

But advocates like Paul Andreano—a volunteer with Hope’s Village of SLO, a nonprofit that advocates for and feeds homeless individuals—say more needs to be done to ensure that residents of the Bob Jones camp have somewhere else safe to go.

“Our contention is that if you’re not offering some type of other transitory place for these people to go,” Andreano told New Times, “then it’s not cool.”

The upcoming cleanup is one of several camp cleanups that the city of SLO has carried out throughout the pandemic, despite Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance that homeless encampments should be left alone until the spread of COVID-19 is under control.

On May 18—just a week after the CDC updated its guidelines for addressing homelessness during the pandemic, stating that people living in homeless camps should be allowed to remain where they are to prevent further spread of coronavirus—city officials and police officers forced dozens of individuals living in a camp near the Bob Jones Trail to move along so that human waste and trash dangerously close to the SLO Creek could be removed.

Andreano said he’s heard complaints about homeless people getting pushed out of popular parks, and SLO County is planning to clean up a small homeless camp behind the Los Osos Library later this month.

Though city and county officials continue to point to available beds and safe parking spots at 40 Prado, Andreano said that’s just “a convenient line they use.”

Many of the residents of the Bob Jones camp aren’t ready or willing to follow the rules and paths required at the shelter, Andreano said, and would likely benefit more from some kind of a safe camping program, where they could legally camp out in tents overnight without having to go through the case work required at 40 Prado.

“We just don’t have anything that’s in between where those people are now and 40 Prado,” Andreano said. “Unless you want to talk about the jail. That’s it.”

While Andreano said he understands the city’s health and safety concerns related to the camp near the creek, it’s also not a good time to be stuck living in a shelter with a bunch of other people.

After four 40 Prado residents tested positive for COVID-19 in September—the only positive cases at the shelter since March—the shelter closed its doors to new residents for a month. Without any positive cases in the last three weeks, Deputy Director Grace Macintosh said

Introducing

40 Prado is now open to three new SLO County residents a day, and typically has about 10 to 15 beds available.

Still, the ongoing homeless camp cleanups caught the attention of attorneys at California Rural Legal Assistance, which is currently conducting interviews with SLO’s homeless community members and advocates as part of a larger investigation.

“We are conducting an ongoing investigation of the sweeps,” Directing Attorney Frank Kopcinski wrote in an email to New Times. “We have serious concerns as to the legality of the sweeps.”

Ballot signature mismatches cause voter anxiety If you’ve turned in your Nov. 3 election ballot and received an alert that it’s been rejected due to a signature mismatch, don’t panic.

San Luis Obispo County ClerkRecorder Tommy Gong said that the alert may be premature and remedied by his office through the normal course of ballot processing.

“It’s a timing issue that voters need to understand,” Gong told New Times.

“Many have subscribed to the ballot tracking system. It will deliver a message out to the voter: your ballot was delivered, submitted, even that your ballot was immediately challenged.”

Gong told New Times that his office’s ballot signature check process involves multiple levels of review. If there’s any question about whether a ballot signature matches the voter’s signature on file during the first look, it will be marked for further inspection. The election office uses DMV records or voter registration documents to compare voter signatures.

“The first stage is the most conservative,” Gong explained. “That way there’s a second or third pair of eyes on it to make a final determination.”

By the end of ballot processing, Gong said very few ballots are flagged for signature mismatches—less than 1 percent in the March 2020 primary election, For those that are, the county is required to notify the voter, who is provided an opportunity to cure the mismatch.

Because of California’s new ballot tracking system, Gong said voters are receiving notifications early in the process, causing confusion and anxiety.

“We didn’t know exactly how the messaging was going to take place,” he said. “This is a pain point that many of the counties are experiencing right now because of the instantaneous tracking.”

Gong said voters who receive the alert are welcome to call his office at (805) 7815080 for further explanation.

Doulas explicitly allowed in SLO hospitals for first time since spring For nearly six months now since the pandemic hit the Central Coast, expecting mothers have been allowed only a single visitor during childbirth at local hospitals, forcing patients going into labor to choose between family, friends, and hired supporters like doulas. But

this fall, some hospitals on the Central Coast are easing visitor restrictions and opening their doors to doulas.

On Sept. 25, local Tenet Health hospitals announced revisions to their inperson visitor policies, allowing patients in labor a certified doula in addition to one designated visitor a day. Shortly after on Oct. 2, French Hospital Medical Center announced a similar policy. The changes are exactly what some local doulas have been fighting for since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s exciting,” doula Jennifer Vantrease Kinnear told New Times. “We’ve had a great journey just in terms of communicating with the hospitals.”

Kinnear is the managing mentor of the San Luis Obispo Doula Connection, an organization that works to connect welltrained doulas with expecting mothers.

In July, Kinnear and several other doulas associated with the Doula Connection wrote a letter to SLO County Hospitals calling for protocols that would allow them to safely attend births in addition to visitors patients choose to have present.

At the time, Kinnear told New Times that hospital restrictions on visitors made it nearly impossible for doulas to provide the in-person, physical support services for which they’re hired.

But now, Kinnear said, local doulas have a good deal of practice providing virtual services to mothers giving birth, and that option will still be available for patients who don’t feel comfortable having multiple visitors present at their births.

“For birthing families: call doulas,” Kinnear said. “There’s more options available than there ever have been.”

That isn’t the case at all hospitals on the Central Coast. Although Marian Regional Medical Center is allowing doulas in addition to one other visitor in its birthing centers, Kinnear said some hospitals in Santa Barbara County continue to have more restrictive visitation guidelines in place, due in part to that county’s higher COVID-19 rates. Several hospitals in Santa Barbara County recently opened back up to restricted visitation following the end of a recent surge in cases.

Kinnear said the Doula Connection will continue pushing for safe doula visitations in Santa Barbara County’s hospitals.

At local Tenet and Dignity Health hospitals, doulas are allowed to stay with patients through labor and until recovery, but according to Tiffany Rede, assistant director of Perinatal Services at Tenet, all doulas are screened upon entry and required to wear protective gear, follow COVID-19 safety protocols, and have their credentials validated by hospital staff.

Rede said it’s nice to have doulas back at Tenet hospitals. They offer valuable services to mothers during the laboring and childbirth process, Rede said, and often act as a liaison between medical staff and patients. Although Rede said most patients have been satisfied with Tenet’s virtual options, having to choose between family and doulas left a lot of expecting patients with tough choices to make throughout the pandemic.

“We just see them as an asset,” Rede told New Times. ∆ —Kasey Bubnash

Seeking primary care in Cambria The Cambria Community Health District is looking to fill a gap in direct medical services

F

orty percent of Cambria’s roughly 6,000 residents are 65 or older.

Health care access in the remote coastal town includes an ambulance service, a clinic, a specialist, a medical lab, and a concierge physician.

The nearest medical facility is 23 miles away—in Templeton.

To fill the gap of primary care services, in 2016 the Cambria Community Health District researched how it could effectively serve Cambria’s medical needs, with district board member Barbara Bronson-Gray spearheading the effort.

She told New Times that the district, nurses, and physicians in the community decided to conduct a survey to understand the area’s medical needs. The results led the district to reach out to the Central Coast’s major medical providers to bring primary medical services to Cambria.

In 2019, First California Physician Partners opened its doors, and Dr. Alison Lewis recruited patients in need of primary care.

“She got more than 800 patients, and people were very happy and it was all very good,” Bronson-Gray said. “We were then notified that she was going to be transferred to Paso Robles because they had a larger outpatient clinic there that didn’t have a [doctor of medicine] and was growing.”

circumstances” caused the change.

It left many patients, including Nancy McLaughlin without a local primary care physician. McLaughlin told New Times she had been Lewis’ patient since she started taking patients in Cambria.

McLaughlin was thrilled to have a female physician and felt that Lewis always did a thorough job.

When Lewis was transferred, McLaughlin said she had to see a nurse practitioner at First California Physician Partners. To meet her other medical needs, she drives 34 miles to the city of San Luis Obispo.

“It’s pretty much a whole day. Of course, I try to do other things while I’m there, but that’s the way it’s always been,” she said.

McLaughlin didn’t see a doctor very often until last year, when she began experiencing some medical issues. Now she frequently visits the doctor, but having to constantly make the 40-minute drive to SLO can be an inconvenience, she said.

Concerned residents such as McLaughlin, who benefitted from the direct medical service, approached the health district, board member Cecilia Montalvo said, and the district decided to issue another medical needs survey.

Conducted in July, the survey included

According to survey results, 88 percent of respondents expressed their desire for more local primary health care services, including having a local physician in Cambria.

The news came on March 30, 2020, just 11 days after San Luis Obispo County’s emergency shelter-at-home orders went into effect due to COVID-19. Cambria patients received a letter about Lewis’ departure that stated “unforeseen

An overwhelming majority of [survey] respondents, 91 percent, reported that they currently have a primary care provider, but only 38 percent receive their care locally.

About two-thirds of respondents would or most likely would seek their primary health care from a newly recruited physician.

Only 39 percent said they had visited an urgent care clinic within the last year, however 64 percent indicated that the district needs after-hours or weekend local health care services such as urgent care. The survey found that 80 percent of respondents had up to five primary care visits over the past year. Respondents had a variety of insurance coverage plans, but about 73 percent say they have Medicare coverage.

The community does have medical services, but Montalvo said through the survey results and multiple discussions with community members, the district is understanding that residents want more choices.

She said the district isn’t solely thinking about filling primary care gaps, but mental health services or COVID-19 testing capabilities as well—at the moment, there isn’t a COVID-19 testing site in Cambria.

“We would have been able to arrange that through partnerships in the past, but I think we’re hearing a desire from the community for the district to get more emphatically involved in making sure that the breadth of service, whatever breadth of

provider—comes at a price.

The survey did ask whether respondents would be in favor of a parcel tax to support more medical services in the community, however Bronson-Gray said the district couldn’t give respondents a specific price point. Nevertheless, 70 percent answered favorably.

The ambulance service, educational workshops, and outreach is funded by an existing parcel tax and a portion of SLO County’s general tax revenue.

A new parcel tax for the district was placed on the ballot two years ago, but it failed. Bronson-Gray said, in her opinion, the measure failed because it didn’t specifically state what the funds would go toward. Instead, the measure listed the district’s needs.

In the next six months to a year, the district is hoping to have options for the community to evaluate, whether it’s a partnership, direct services, or a hybrid. The nearest health care districts to Cambria are in the Salinas Valley, Lompoc, and Camarillo. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

Potential for conflict Phillips 66 refinery employee appointed to APCD hearing board in 6-5 vote, leading to concerns about potential conflict of interest

F

or the last two decades, Cal Poly environmental engineering professor Yarrow Nelson has served as a member of the SLO County Air Pollution Control District’s (APCD) hearing board, using his background in scientific research to help the district navigate air pollution conflicts and emergencies, including the ongoing dust mitigation efforts at the Oceano Dunes.

But Nelson’s most recent three-year term expired at the end of July, and in a move surprising to many community members, the APCD board of directors voted 6-5 to oust Nelson at a meeting on Sept. 23, instead appointing Jim Anderson, a local engineer who works as a maintenance superintendent at the Phillips 66-owned Santa Maria Refinery.

Although Anderson previously served on the hearing board as Nelson’s alternate, his recent appointment is stirring up questions and concerns about how he’ll handle matters related to Phillips 66, which is regulated by the APCD and contributes to pollution in SLO County.

The APCD board of directors discussed that potential for a conflict of interest at length on Sept. 23, and it’s why Arroyo Grande City Councilmember and APCD board member Jimmy Paulding said he couldn’t support Anderson’s appointment.

“It’s kind of a classic case of putting the fox in charge of guarding the henhouse from a perception standpoint,” Paulding told New Times.

The APCD hearing board is an independent, quasi-judicial body that decides on matters of conflict between the air district and the industries it regulates.

The board consists of five members—an attorney practicing law, a registered professional engineer, a member of the medical profession, and two members of the general public—who help to resolve air pollution emergencies by adopting necessary rules and regulations, issuing variances from those regulations when

needed, issuing abatement orders, and resolving permit disputes.

Since Phillips 66 is regulated by the APCD, Paulding said it’s obvious that Anderson will have to refrain from voting on any future items involving his employer. But what’s more concerning, Paulding said, is the budding potential for a land acquisition deal between Phillips 66 and State Parks.

At a California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Commission meeting on Sept. 24, staff and commissioners discussed the state’s longtime goal of creating a southern entrance to the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area, which staff said would provide direct access to the park’s off-highway riding areas while reducing traffic and other issues at the existing entrances.

The idea of a southern entrance has been fairly abstract for years, staff said at the Sept. 24 meeting, but when Phillips 66 announced in August plans to close the Santa Maria Refinery in 2023, staff considered it a “game changer.”

Situated on the Nipomo Mesa, the land currently holding the oil refinery could provide the necessary space for a future southern entrance, and staff said on Sept. 24 that State Parks plans to pursue acquisition of the soon-to-be freed-up land.

That, Paulding said, means Anderson’s work with Phillips 66, combined with Phillips 66’s potential ties to State Parks, could lead to conflicts of interest for Anderson in all APCD hearing board matters related to State Parks. Anderson could recuse himself from all votes related to State Parks, Paulding said, but considering the ongoing hearings regarding State Parks’ dust mitigation efforts at the Oceano Dunes, that would leave Anderson with little else to work on.

Paulding also questioned the APCD board’s conservative majority and their adamancy toward replacing Nelson with Anderson, who 4th District Supervisor

Lynn Compton described as a “stellar individual” she’s known for years. Is the overarching goal, Paulding asked, to undermine ongoing dust mitigation efforts at the dunes by appointing “Lynn’s friend”?

“We need somebody who can serve in an unbiased, unconflicted capacity,” Paulding said.

But Anderson rejected that accusation, and told New Times that it’s not his intention to disrupt the APCD’s work reducing dust emissions in the Oceano Dunes. That’s a local issue that Anderson said he admittedly hasn’t actively followed, even as an alternate for the APCD hearing board.

That’s part of the reason Anderson said he was actually shocked when the board voted to appoint him as the hearing board’s engineer member instead of Nelson, who had held the position since 2001.

“That was a bit of surprise to me too,” Anderson told New Times.

Although Nelson did apply to fill the hearing board position for another term, some members of the board of directors at the Sept. 23 APCD meeting pointed out that the engineer position is, according to state law, supposed to be reserved for a registered professional engineer, unless the board is unable to get the votes to appoint someone with those qualifications.

Nelson is a professor of environmental engineering and has a Ph.D. in that field, but he does not have a professional engineering license. California, he explained at the meeting, is the only state in the U.S. that doesn’t have an independent license for environmental engineers. To get licensed, he would have to get a civil engineering license, which Nelson said is not his area of expertise.

Still, 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold, Supervisor Compton, and the rest of the board majority made it clear they wanted to appoint one of the three other applicants with professional engineering licenses, and eventually landed on Anderson because of his previous experience as the APCD alternate and his residency in SLO County (one application was from a resident of Newport Beach).

“First of all, he’s been an alternate for many, many years,” Supervisor Compton told New Times. “And nobody has raised any concerns in the past about his activity as an alternate. So he’s been trained, he’s sat through the meetings, he’s done that before.”

She added that no members of the public called in to the meeting to comment on Anderson’s appointment.

Plus, she said, Anderson is a registered engineer with a lot of experience with environmental regulations in SLO County.

“He’s eminently qualified for this,” Compton said.

And Anderson said he too is confident he can do the job. As a longtime alternate, he’s already been through the training required of new hearing board members and knows how the APCD operates. Throughout his lengthy career at the refinery, where he oversees all maintenance activities, he’s worked alongside the APCD to acquire various permits and gain compliance with environmental regulations.

Throughout the ’90s, Anderson helped develop the county’s Clean Air Plan, and made what he said were “great strides in the air quality countywide.”

Anderson said he completely understands the concerns about his work with Phillips 66, and if any matters related to Phillips 66 do come before the hearing board, “I would recuse myself.”

He’s not, however, convinced that the potential land acquisition between State Parks and Phillips 66 would impede his ability to serve on the hearing board.

The hearing board, he said, likely wouldn’t have any hand in land sales of any kind, and APCD Officer Gary Willey confirmed that wouldn’t be something the hearing board would be involved in.

Anderson said he’s really just interested in serving the community he’s lived and worked in for decades now.

“Although I work in South County, I live in North County,” he said at the Sept. 23 meeting, “and so I’ve got, you know, I feel I’ve got a stake in air quality here.” ∆ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@newtimesslo.com.

For Information Leading to Solving the Case of Thomas Jodry’s Death Our precious son, Thomas “Tommy” Jodry died on Saturday, September 14, 2019 in San Luis Obispo.

At around 9:15pm emergency services were called reporting that he fell from the third floor of the Marsh Street parking structure across the street from Eureka Burger. It was a horrifying way to die.

Tommy was only 21 years old. He was just starting life and was hopeful for the future, before he fell to his death.

To the best of our knowledge, the last person with Tommy on the night he died was David A. Knight of Atascadero.

THOMAS JODRY

It was Saturday evening, Cal Poly WOW weekend, and the

streets were crowded. The places he was seen on the night of his death include Kreuzberg Coffee, the Frog & Peach bar on Higuera Street, and the pedestrian walkway between Express and Barnes & Noble.

AROUND THE BEND Delayed due to COVID-19, the 12th annual Tour of Paso will take place on Nov. 1.

BY PETER JOHNSON

The race must go on!

T

he Tour of Paso, an annual bike race that benefits local families going through cancer, typically takes place in late March, when the sun is out and wildflowers are blooming.

Not this year, though. Instead, the race was one of the first local events to be postponed by COVID-19.

Like so many event organizers at the time, Tour of Paso leaders thought that the virus would blow over relatively quickly.

“In March, everyone just thought it’d be a couple weeks,” said Candice Sanders, development director for the Cancer Support Community of the California Central Coast, a local chapter of a national nonprofit.

As the weeks turned into months, organizers weren’t sure if they’d ever pull the race off. But after many stops and starts, the 12th annual Tour of Paso is happening and will take place on Saturday, Nov. 1.

“We just kind of talked about continuing to do it and giving something for people to look forward to,” Sanders explained.

“It was a hot topic of discussion up to just about a month ago. We really kind of sat down with our committee—they are the ones who are the cyclists—and they were like, ‘No we can do this. We just need to have extra precautions in place.’”

This year, cyclists participating in the scenic 26- or 50-mile rides will have staggered start times and get courtesy togo lunch bags from Niner Wine Estates to avoid coming into contact with others.

All group pictures, post-race parties, and other social events will be canceled this year to comply with public health orders.

The race’s start location will also be different—a “huge” parking lot in Templeton, near Twin Cities Community Hospital, giving participants plenty of room to spread out. Other than the new start line, the rest of the Tour of Paso’s popular route will remain the same as always. And while blooming wildflowers will not be part of this year’s ride, the fall season will have its own beauty to offer.

“They get the opposite end of things— the full vines during harvest, the seasonal color changes,” Sanders said.

Race signups are available now at tourofpaso.org. Riders of all skill levels are welcome to participate. This year, Mike Milby, of Paso Bike Tours, is offering free bike rentals to the first 25 riders who request one.

All of the proceeds from the event

benefit the Cancer Support Community, an organization that “focuses on social and emotional support for cancer patients and their families.”

“It’s anything from support groups, grief groups, yoga, nutrition programs— it’s really providing support for all members of the family, not just patients,” Sanders explained. “One hundred percent of our proceeds stay within the county, and all of our services are free.”

Sanders said that the organization is thrilled to be able to still hold the race, despite all of the challenges.

She expressed gratitude to all of the riders who signed up for the spring and have remained patient throughout the disruptions.

“When this was canceled in March, we reached out to all of our teams and our riders—no one asked for their money back. They said, ‘Whether we ride or not, this is how it goes,’” Sanders said. “We’re really happy to be able to put their ride on for them.”

aniel Stuart Gray was born on April 14, 1957 in Garden Grove, California.

He spent his younger years playing sports, enjoying music, and hanging out with his friends and family. He grew up in Yorba Linda, California and spent most of his life in Orange County, California.

He was a wonderful son, brother, uncle, and friend.

Danny is survived by his father, James Gray and wife Terri, his brother, Jordan and wife Sharon, his brother, Matthew and wife Katy, and his ten nephews and nieces, Crystal, Sarah, Emily, Olivia, Chris, David, Hannah, Josh, Kevin, and Jason and great nephew Peter and great niece Vivian. He enjoyed train rides up to the Central Coast to visit with his dad and spending holidays with his brothers and family in Pasadena.

He loved music, playing the guitar, baseball, and spending time with his family.

He is now safe in the hands of the lord Jesus and with his mom, Ann Burkart.

He loved life and always had a smile on his face. He was a kind-hearted and gentle man and was a joy to be around.

May you rest in peace Danny.

Opinion

BY APRIL DURY

Transparency and accountability I took responsibility for my actions and they’ve never been a secret

T

hank you so much for the opportunity you provided last week (“OCSD candidate addresses 1999 felony embezzlement conviction,” Oct. 8) in allowing me to address head-on all the whisper campaign activity surrounding my name and my two-decades-old crime.

I have never not been accountable for the poor decision I made 21 years ago. I accepted my punishment and followed every restriction, responsibility, and expectation put upon me. I have been transparent to friends, family, clients, employers, a (then) future husband, everyone that needed to know or that had a peripheral reason to be aware. I never hid my past, and I never denied it— transparency and accountability.

Those are the very things I run for, on behalf of the residents and ratepayers of Oceano and Halcyon. In the 10 years I have advocated on behalf of Oceano (and the Five Cities), I’ve been the same person who committed a crime years ago. The only difference is that as those opposed to my advocacy started running background checks on me (via their local law enforcement relationships), they became aware of my past, and they feel entitled to their own pound of flesh out of me. If they’re doing it to me, over such an obscure little elected position, I shudder to think how bad it is in this county overall, because of the

HODIN

rabid desire to “win” instead of “serve” the constituents. Running for public office was certainly not the way to keep some secret ... because I was never keeping a secret. This was the shot to publicly “out” me, for the sole reason of shaming me and winning an election, not on their own merit, but using smear tactics.

If you believe that everyone “deserves a second chance,” when is that second chance allowed to begin? Who gets to decide that? It has been 21 extremely productive, humbling, and, yes, also interesting years since I made a very bad, completely unjustifiable decision. It is called the corrections system for a reason.

Either we believe in rehabilitation and the corrections system is an integral part of that process, or we don’t believe in second chances and we should change legislation to make every offense a one strike offense, with no possibility of parole.

I take full accountability for all consequences of my actions. I have done all within my power to atone, learn, and grow from my past and live a life of transparency and accountability, and if that’s not good enough for some stranger, 20 years after the fact, nothing would redeem me in their eyes anyway.

Transparency and accountability. It should not be so difficult to get that from the elected officials of the Oceano Community Services District. Oceano deserves better.

Letters A tireless advocate

Our city is facing difficult times, while our state and nation are increasingly polarized. More than ever, we need honest, rational, and balanced leadership.

For this reason, I’m happy to see that Jan Howell Marx, our former mayor, is in the race for one of the two open seats on the SLO City Council. I have known Jan for many years and worked closely with her while I chaired the SLO City Tree Committee from 2008 to 2016. Jan is a longtime advocate for environmental conservation, the city’s open spaces, and our vital urban forest. During her previous years as a City Council member and mayor, Jan accomplished a long list of victories for our town. She increased open space preserves and improved the city’s relationship with Cal Poly while tackling housing and expanding homeless services.

In the past, Jan has been a tireless advocate for SLO residents, and we need her now more than ever. I hope you’ll join me in voting for Jan Marx.

More sales tax needed There is clear contrast among the candidates for Morro Bay mayor and City Council in the critical area of city revenue. Over the past 10 years, Morro Bay has decreased its total employees by 12 percent, while the demands for city services increased. When the global pandemic seriously slashed revenue, drastic cuts were made, and it still required using reserves to balance the budget. There is simply nowhere left to cut without affecting the services citizens need most. Measure E-20 to increase sales tax by 1 cent per dollar will provide that critical revenue. And, sales tax is a way to share the burden with visitors, who make the majority of taxed purchases. Residents’ purchases of essential goods (i.e., groceries) and services are not taxed.

(council) support Measure E-20. Their opponents insist that the city just needs to “tighten its belt.” That position ignores the fact that more than half the city budget is for the essential services that make us a city: public health and safety. When our personal income decreases, we cut spending but we don’t stop feeding our children. Cutting essential city services such as police and fire is the municipal equivalent of starvation. I will hold all elected officials accountable for waste, but when revenues fall dramatically, survival requires more income. Just as the Morro Bay citizens’ group that studied revenue options, the Chamber of Commerce and our San Luis Obispo County neighbors have concluded, a sales tax increase is the most reliable way to save our services. And we need this cash now. We can’t wait two more years for a slightly different revenue measure, as some candidates advocate.

Safe in SLCUSD— stay with incumbents

After the SLO Expressions First Amendment controversy in Spring 2017, San Luis Coastal Unified School District (SLCUSD) created the Common Ground Advisory Task Force (CGATF), “a divergent group of students, district employees, parents, and religious and civic leaders” to provide “recommendations and practical suggestions to ensure all students, regardless of their background, feel respected, included, and engaged while attending our schools.” SLCUSD received a National School Boards Association 2020 Magna Award First Place recognition for CGATF’s work on removing barriers for students and creating more equitable and inclusive schools.

All SLCUSD students must feel safe in our public schools. This is critical for any student, who may experience discrimination or alienation, especially LGBTQ-plus and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color) students.

We must reelect the two incumbents, Kathryn Eisendrath-Rogers and Walt Millar, for the SLCUSD school board Trustee Area 1 positions to continue focusing on equity and inclusion and handling controversial and complex issues with respect and integrity. The challenger, a retired teacher outside of SLCUSD, has revealed through toxic Facebook and Twitter posts (deleted after screenshots were taken) that she is out of step with these values.

Please vote Kathryn Eisendrath-Rogers and Walt Millar for our public school district’s school board for the socialemotional well-being of all of our students.

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY ANDREW CHRISTIE

Can you live without wild things?

I

n 2014, Dave Foreman, a co-founder of Earth First! and former Sierra Club board member, wrote: “One-third of the nation’s land is yours and mine. Not the timber companies’.

Not the land and cattle companies’. Not the mining companies’. Not the rich folks’. Not the land speculators’. Ours.

One-third of the acreage of the United States of America is yet owned by her citizens and overseen by the federal government—740 million acres in all.

These are the National Parks, National Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, and Bureau of Land Management lands … .

These lands are why the United States has a conservation legacy unmatched elsewhere in the world. Underline that last sentence. As I have learned more about international conservation, I’ve wondered why the whole game of protecting land seems easier in the United States (not that it’s easy here, but alongside other countries we are better off). Our public lands are the answer. I know of no other country that has such a set-up with its citizens owning and having a strong say in the running of onethird of the country’s land acreage.”

But, as Aldo Leopold, author of A Sand County Almanac and the first management plan for the Grand Canyon, observed: “There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot.”

If there was any doubt in your mind about which side of that divide the current presidential administration occupies, here’s the scoop: It has gutted the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, proposed commercial logging projects in Los Padres National Forest, and, as of Oct. 12, rescinded the rule restricting the release of methane, the most powerful greenhouse gas, on public lands.

National Wildlife Refuge, and state and local parks, open space, and schools.

None of which means this actually has to happen, because Mr. Foreman was correct about citizens having a say.

The Center for Biological Diversity, EarthJustice, National Parks Conservation Association, The Sierra Club, Patagonia, and others sued the Trump administration in January for understating the impacts to the environment, public health, and recreation. Congressmen Salud Carbajal and Jimmy Panetta led a dozen of their colleagues in amending a spending bill to bar new oil and gas exploration on federal lands in California. And on Oct. 7, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Executive Order N-82-20, committing the state of California to protecting 30 percent of California’s lands and waters by 2030 to curb the loss of species and the destruction of ecosystems. California is the first state in the nation to pledge to conserve 30 percent of its land and waters by 2030, joining 38 countries in that commitment to conservation.

“This order brings our country closer to protecting the 30 percent of lands and waters that experts say is needed to avoid the worst consequences of climate disruption,” Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune said, “with a host of benefits for our air, water, wildlife and families along the way. Sierra Club is committed to ensuring this process improves access to nature for communities most harmed by the climate crisis and loss of green space.”

At times like this, it is worth remembering that no other country, as Dave Foreman noted, “has the kind of federal laws the U.S. has such as the Wilderness Act, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Endangered Species Act, and others for the whole country and that give citizens a mighty hand in helping to shape policy.”

It’s also worth remembering Foreman’s conclusion: —Earth First! Co-founder Dave Foreman “The endless tug of war between dollar-driven businesses and thrillDrilling down (so to speak) on just one driven motorheads, federal resourcists, of this administration’s environmental and wild-loving citizen conservationists attacks, Trump’s Bureau of Land shaped and made the public lands what Management has approved new oil and they are today.

The Shredder

For the love of Maulks!

A

re you on Nextdoor, the “neighborhood hub for trusted connections and the exchange of helpful information, goods, and services?”

Perhaps you’ve followed the sad saga of Maulks.

“Siamese three legged cat missing since Saturday,” Kelly Anderson posted on Aug. 26. “He’s very friendly. If you’ve seen or have found him please message me!!!!”

Sure enough, most people were concerned and interested in helping.

Kari Ann suggested she put out some dirty laundry “with your scent,” to lure the cat home.

“Maybe his favorite food?” suggested Georgia Adrian. “Of course you may get other cats or raccoons,” she continued, thinking on the fly.

“Haha,” responded Anderson, “that’s exactly what happened … my neighbor’s cat and a possum.”

Neighbors helping neighbors! It’s a beautiful thing … and then this ominous message from Susan K Lee: “I heard about the Papp guy knowing where your cat is.”

The Papp guy? Catnapping? The mystery deepens!

“I commented on his page and sent him a message,” Lee posted. “This is shameful.”

“This is unbelievable!” posted Liz Forney. “Praying he does the right thing!”

“Did anyone hear Papp on Dave Congalton?” asked Lee. What the what? This hopped from social media to talk radio? This might be the

most San Luis Obispo controversy I’ve seen this election season: Catgate 2020.

Kathie Walker wrote, “Dave had James Papp on yesterday and one of Kelly’s cat sitters called in. Today, Dave had Kelly on the show. Afterward, Dave said the cat, Maulks, is clearly Kelly’s cat and pleaded for the return.”

Done and done, right? I mean, Congalton has spoken; that cat should be returned.

Lee admitted she hadn’t heard the Congalton show but posted, “Other people have said [Papp] basically thinks if a cat is outdoors it’s up for grabs.”

Free cats!

Forney found an archive recording of the show: “I just heard it and was getting so angry I had to turn it off. [Papp] is arrogant, insensitive, and clearly out of touch! I am so glad this is getting attention!”

Kathleen Blandini broke it down: “James Papp, just get Maulks and bring him to Kelly, then go get your other ‘friend’ a new cat from Woods [Humane Society]. You’re not looking good in this story. Comments on CCN [Cal Coast News] and the Dave Congalton Show are not in your favor.”

Ooh. CCN and Congalton, huh? I shiver to think about the consequences of that.

Who the hell is this Papp guy anyway?

Well, aside from being a catnapping coconspirator, he’s running for the SLO City Council, and his pappforcouncil.com

webpage reads, “Hi, I’m James Papp, downtown business owner and 3-time chair of SLO City’s Cultural Heritage Committee— recently fired by the City Council for my ‘style of communication,’ that is, communicating that developers and the city need to follow the law.”

Oh, the law-and-order type, eh? You must believe in “possession is 9/10th of the law,” right? The thing is, James, that adage is not literally true. What is 100 percent clear is that Maulks is Anderson’s cat, and you know where it is.

Later, Anderson posted again on Nextdoor: “STILL LOST-Three legged cat,” describing Maulks’ black collar and reiterating “Verrrrrrryyy friendly.”

This is the one James Papp showed up on, saying he’d seen Maulks behind Anderson Real Estate, and later adding, “I have faith he’ll turn up, being the wandering but resourceful cat he is.”

Oh, well, that’s nice, but then Papp posted, “Found Maulks safe in a new home. More later.”

Anderson responded, “Why wouldn’t you tell me where or give them my info so I could get him? You know I’ve been worried and trying to find him. This message makes me feel upset. As if you’re the one deciding what’s best. Can you please give me their info?”

It devolved, with lots of “neighbors” attacking Papp and arguing that Maulks

was being “detained” against his will and that whoever had him was guilty of “theft.”

Papp’s defense of his behavior was that “Maulks has wandered freely across San Luis for years with at least two different ‘owners’ but many have put him up and fed him for days at a time” and that Maulks “has functionally always been a stray cat, and there seems to be more concern with his ownership than his wellbeing.”

Papp ends his post by saying, “If you want to ‘own’ a cat, keep it indoors away from songbirds, critters, traffic, and other cat fanciers.”

Aha! The truth will out! Papp doesn’t approve of outdoor cats, even aged threelegged ones that couldn’t catch a bird on a dare. See a cat outdoors? Yours to take! Wee! Anderson posted flyers around the neighborhood, including in front of Papp’s residence: “The flyer in front of Papp’s house was ripped down the next day every single time I went and reposted it. It’s no longer a weird coincidence,” Anderson posted.

My favorite post was from Sarah Guy: “James Papp, I want you to know that I will not be voting for you and will be sharing this appalling story you’re spreading about this poor woman’s cat.

Stray cats don’t wear collars and grown men don’t spread lies. Gross.”

Maulks and Anderson were eventually reunited, no thanks to Papp. We’re days away from a crucial election, in a pandemic, as our world is falling apart around us. Thanks for the distraction, Maulks! I salute you. ∆ The Shredder is a cat fancier. Send comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Strictly Starkey

BY GLEN STARKEY

FROM THE ROCK TO L.A. Morro Bay musician Easton Everett’s new song, “Flint and Pitch,” lands on Los Angeles radio station KPFK 90.7FM.

Peace and kindness Morro Bay musician Easton Everett saves the world one song at a time

V

isually, Central Coast musician Easton Everett has a decided Fee Waybill of The Tubes vibe, but the eclectic performer throws a wide musical net as he works the ins and outs of world music, Americana, and neo-folk genres.

His most recent album, Somewhere North of Summer, finds the artist fluently picking his way through instrumentals like opening track “Blacksmith Briar” or delivering poetic lyrics sung with a rustic urgency on songs like “Only for a Minute”: “What in the world makes for peace and kindness?”

It’s a good question!

He’s also got two versions of a really compelling world music instrumental, “Flint and Pitch,” which comes in “World Beat” or “Neo Celtic” flavors on SoundCloud. In addition to Everett on guitar, it features violinist Bob Furgo (formerly with Leonard Cohen); bowed and plucked double bassist Janie Cowen; and Grammy-winning percussionist TJ Troy on Indian tabla, frame drums, Caxixi shaker, bells, cymbals, and more.

Recorded at Desert Sky Recorders in Joshua Tree, the track was produced by noted British producer Clive Wright using Neumann microphones.

The song has been getting airplay on KPFK 90.7FM in Los Angeles and The Rock KEBF 97.3FM in Morro Bay and KZSR 107.9FM in Paso Robles.

As much as I love his instrumentals, Everett’s got a voice that grows on you.

He’s got his own style. Like Bob Dylan, Louis Armstrong, Bjork, or Nina Simone, he doesn’t really sound like anyone else.

And he’s a talented lyricist.

“I am a village on the route into town, words on the wind I blow the good man down, find an easy place in the noonday sun, left my mind to wander back where I come from,” he sings on “Bells Toll.”

He was playing out actively before

the pandemic, and he will again, but for now, the best way to hear this Morro Bay resident’s music is to visit soundcloud.com.

The show must go on The Basin Street Regulars’ annual multi-day music festival, Jazz Jubilee by the Sea, is the biggest hot jazz event on the coast, drawing artists and music lovers from all over. It’s a hot cash injection for Pismo Beach, but the pandemic has thrown a monkey wrench into the plan “This is our 44th annual Jazz Jubilee by the Sea and in order to not break tradition, we will be delivering a virtual livestream to our fans,” festival director Rhonda Cardinal announced. “It is important to our organization to continue the show, especially during these times of great challenge for musicians and fans alike. The virtual event will be held during our usual weekend, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 24 and 25, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Pacific time.

PIANO MAN Carl Sonny Leyland will act as emcee at this year’s virtual Jazz Jubilee by the Sea hot jazz festival, Oct. 24 through 25, brought to you by the Basin Street Regulars.

PHOTO COURTESY OF EASTON EVERETT

“This virtual event is being presented as a way to raise money to benefit Jubilee musicians who have been unable to perform to their capacity due to the restrictions imposed during the pandemic,” Cardinal continued. “We are very excited to roll out our lineup for Virtual 2020 Jazz Jubilee by the Sea, which will be broadcast from our outdoor studio at a private location.”

Pianist Carl Sonny Leyland will emcee the event, introducing the bands— or in some cases pre-recorded sets of music—interspliced with interviews with musicians and piano vignettes that will include other performers such as Dawn Lambeth, Marc Caperone, Dave Ruffner, and Clint and Riley Baker.

“Accomplished local banjoist Gary Ryan will also lead a ‘friends’ set with his old friend Liz Douglas, Dave Ruffner, and more,” Cardinal added. “Bands that have committed to appearing live include Tom Rigney and Flambeau, Barrelhouse Wailers, Creole Syncopators, Mariachi Autlence, Gary Ryan and Friends, and Riptide! These bands will do a performance in our outdoor studio.”

Videos from bands that couldn’t appear live include Gino and the Lone Gunmen, Crescent Katz, Adrian Cunningham, Holy Crow, Gator Nation, and others.

There will also be a Friday night “sneak preview” featuring local fave MarciJean

and the Belmont Kings and a video

by Gator Nation, from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 23.

“The money we receive from donations will be used to cover the expenses for putting on the event and then, most importantly, to pay the participating musicians, both those that perform live and those that provided videos,” Cardinal explained. “We are hoping that our audience will be generous this year so that we can give back to the community that supports our passion.

“You can sponsor a band for $250, which will give you a shout-out by Sonny Leyland during the event,” she added. “We’ll have some other perks for you, including special commemorative 2020 lapel pins and face masks. Donors of $50 will get a blue 2020 lapel pin. Donors of $250 will get a blue 2020 lapel pin and a face mask. Donations of $300 or more will get a special purple 2020 commemorative lapel pin and a face mask. Donations of any size will help, and we will distribute the proceeds among the participating musicians at the conclusion of the festival.”

Studios on the Park hosts fiber art exhibit, True Blue: Sew to Speak

Studios on the Park in Paso Robles presents True Blue: Sew to Speak, a fiber art group show that explores women’s history, ecology, and personal truths, through Monday, Nov. 2. The show’s title is inspired by the exhibit’s predominant palette of blues, co-curators Julie Frankel and Melinda Forbes explained in press materials from Studios on the Park.

“We’ve found that organizing a group show around a color really works here. Every color has a deep meaning, and it’s wonderful to see how each of the dozen participating artists works with the meaning of ‘blue’ and stories inspired by ‘blue,’ differently,” Frankel and Forbes said in a shared statement. “We chose the color blue because of its earthly associations of sky and sea. Blue symbolizes truth, sincerity, loyalty.

“These are such crazy times,” Frankel and Forbes continued. “As we chase the truth in a storm of hopes and fears, we hope to make people think, care, vote, and treat each other with kindness.”

The current works on display in the exhibit will serve as a preview of a more extensive group show planned for sometime in 2021, according to Studios on the Park, when public gatherings are safer. The participating artists behind True Blue began collaborating on the project near the end of 2019 and continued through March 2020.

Since its reopening in June, following nearly four months of closure due to COVID-19 mitigation measures, Studios on the Park has employed new safety procedures and requests that visitors wear protective face masks and practice social distancing. Groups larger than six individuals are encouraged to call the gallery’s staff at (805) 238-9800 in advance of entering the facility.

Visit studiosonthepark.org to find out more about True Blue: Sew to Speak. Studios on the Park is located at 1130 Pine St., Paso Robles.

The year’s Open Studios Tour goes online

isiting an artist’s studio gives you insights you often can’t glean from one of their pieces hanging in a pristine art gallery. In a studio, you can see their process, what they surround themselves with, and perhaps what they’re like in their natural environment. That’s why the SLO County Arts Council started its annual Open Studios Tour, so art lovers could get a map to artists’ studios and pay them a visit over several weekends in the fall.

Obviously, the coronavirus pandemic has made such visits impractical, but artists are creative, after all, so this year’s Open Studios Tour has gone virtual.

“SLO County Arts Council’s Open Studios Art Tour is historically one of the largest art tours in the country,” SLO County Arts Council Project Coordinator Edel Mitchell explained via email. “Every October, artists participate throughout SLO County by opening their studios for visitors to tour. Art in a variety of media and styles—from abstract and representational painting to wood, glass, metal, and ceramic—is displayed and sold by artists directly from their working studios. This year will be the first year that we have moved to an online space.”

The virtual tour lets you open an artist’s image from the virtual gallery, and if you like what you see, a link to their website brings you more of their work as well as a way to contact the artists and in some cases “book appointments for limited one-on-one studio tours,” Mitchell added.

The gallery page is organized by area, from Santa Maria north along the coast to Cambria and then east to Atascadero and north to Paso Robles. In Nipomo, for instance, you can visit Elizabeth Chaney. On the gallery page, she’s displaying Break the Rules, a 12-by-12inch portrait of Anthony Bourdain. When COURTESY IMAGE BY DREW DAVIS

You can virtually visit Neal Breton in Los Osos. His gallery page image is Pizza Party, a 12-by-12-inch acrylic on panel. Its bold colors and design might remind some of early David Hockney work. It’s part of Breton’s Strange Paradise collection, with images frequently featuring swimming pools, palm trees, and relaxation.

“We still have a few bottles lying around from 1984. It’s almost like a blessing of the grapes with a bottle of the old sparkling,” Adelaida General Manager Jude Radeski said. “And we’re literally down to the last seven or eight bottles.”

Now, more than 30 years later, the winery is releasing a new sparkling wine just in time for Paso Robles’ annual Harvest Wine Weekend Oct. 16 through 18. Originally, Radeski said, Adelaida was just going to release the limited edition wine for its club members. But with the COVID-19 pandemic changing so much, including Adelaida’s usual harvest weekend festivities, Radeski said the winery wanted to do something special for tasting room visitors that weekend.

Although Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance’s usual celebration of harvest season includes events at more than a hundred participating wineries, 2020 is continuing its theme of being different, thanks to the pandemic. About 20 wineries have socially distanced, sanitized, and pared down special events listed on Paso Wine’s website to celebrate the weekend, including large vintners such as Justin Vineyards and small, limited production vintners such as The Farm Winery, which doesn’t have a tasting room.

Typically, Adelaida Vineyards holds a winemaker dinner and has a food truck and music on-site, but “all of those plans got scrapped,” Radeski said. So instead, the winery is going to release its new sparkling vintage.

All tastings over harvest weekend will include a sip or two of Adelaida’s 2017 Sparkling Wine Signature, HMR Vineyard, which is available for purchase to wine club members only. A 50/50 blend of pinot noir and chardonnay grapes from Adelaida’s Hoffman Mountain Ranch Vineyard, the sparkling wine is crafted from unique varieties for the Paso region.

Pinot noir and chardonnay are traditionally grown in cooler climates, and Radeski said the orientation of that particular vineyard just doesn’t catch the sun and exposure that the other vineyards in West Paso Robles do.

According to Adelaida’s website, HMR Vineyard is typically 10 to 15 degrees cooler than the areas around it. The pinot

noir grapes planted on the property are the oldest on the Central Coast, dating back to 1964.

“It came out great,” Radeski said of the sparkling. “We’re super excited about the wine. Hence the reason that we decided to use it as a replacement item for this weekend. It just made sense.”

As with most wineries, tastings during the pandemic are by appointment, and the pours are all conducted outdoors. Seating is limited outside the usual tasting room, so Adelaida opened up its event venue at the top of the hill, which is typically used for large events like weddings. The hill is up near the highest point in the Adelaida American Vitcultural Area, which happens to sit on Adelaida Vineyards’ property.

“We’re actually really happy with the way things are going. The reservation thing and the outdoors thing were just sort of pushed upon us ... . We haven’t suffered badly in terms of our revenue,” Radeski said. “You get a more intentioned buyer out there if they’re forced to plan their day.”

The biggest challenge right now, Radeski said, is the weather. With outdoor seating, wineries are dependent on nice weather—not too hot, not too cold, not too wet—to conduct tastings. Harvest weekend is predicted to be a hot one, with temperatures in the 90s.

But adequate shade in both tasting areas should keep visitors cool enough, Radeski said.

Castoro Cellars is celebrating the harvest with some sparkling as well, releasing its new bubbles crafted in the traditional French Méthode Champenoise for tasting on Oct. 18 and 19. On top of that, Castoro will be doing a barrel tasting that weekend for tasting room visitors.

Visit Adelaida Vineyards and Winery, Castoro Cellars, or ONX Wines online at adelaida.com, castorocellars.com, or onxwine.com to make a reservation for Harvest Wine Weekend, Oct. 16 through 18. Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance has more harvest weekend event listings on its website at pasowine.com.

Castoro Event Manager Happy Saunders said the barrel in question will be a surprise, but usually, the winery does a red or a white that’s being released the following spring. The winery’s harvest weekend events are similar to what Castoro normally does, but slimmed down and a little different, Saunders said.

“We just want to slowly get back into it. There’s just so many things that we haven’t been able to do since March, such as wine club pickups,” she said.

“Castoro and the owners are so about the community and just supporting them, and just being able to ease back into events and do something a little bit different than we have been is just so important to them. ... Just to be back out there and to have things for the community to safely go to.”

There won’t be live music, or clusters of grapes that you can grab, or long winemaker dinner tables to sit at community style. However, Saunders said Castoro is still doing a Friday night harvest dinner on Oct. 17 with Trumpet Vine Catering. Outside tables will seat up to four people and will be socially distanced. Reservations will be staggered so there isn’t a large group of people waiting all at once for tables, and the winery is limiting it to 40 people.

“That way we can keep everybody safe and separate,” Saunders said.

Castoro is also doing an outdoor brunch yoga session on Oct. 19 that will include a mimosa made with the new sparkling wine and food from The Kitchenette in Templeton.

“It’s definitely different, but we’re just so grateful that we have beautiful grounds,” she said.

pairing (with decadent vegan, dairyfree chocolate from Sweet Creations made with 76 percent cocoa) and 2018 ONX Black Orchid barrel tasting for its Harvest Wine Weekend visitors.

Sea salt and espresso chocolate is one way ONX is hoping to carry out its focus of creating meaningful experiences for people to connect through wine, Assistant DTC Sales Manager Kevin McDonald told New Times via email. Even if it involves COVID-19 safety practices, mask wearing, sanitizing tables, and a pared down event, McDonald said that Harvest Wine Weekend is a wonderful opportunity to make that connection.

“While the world has changed in 2020, ONX has continually adapted to continue to bring wine to our customers in challenging times,” McDonald said.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: BARBARA JEAN WILKINS AN AMENDED PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by PATTY BETTENCOURT in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo.

The Petition for Probate requests that PATTY BETTENCOURT 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: October 20, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: SLO9 VIA ZOOM, in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1050 Monterey St., San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown above. 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 Trustee’s Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 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 (916) 939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, 20-0074. 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 Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Date: 09/24/2020 ATTORNEY LENDER SERVICES, INC. KAREN TALAFUS, ASSISTANT SECRETARY 5120 E.

In the Matter of the Adoption Petition of: Juan Luis Rico Aguirre, Adopting Parent.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA To: Gerardo Limon, By order of this court you are hereby advised that you may appear before the judge presiding in Department 9 of the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408, on 12-11-2020, at 10:00 a.m. then and there to show cause, if any you have, why Evelyn Natalya Limon-Lopez should not be declared from your custody and control for the purpose of freeing Evelyn Natalya Limon-Lopez for placement for adoption. The following information concerns rights and procedures that relate to this proceeding for the termination of custody and control of said minor child as set forth in Family Code Section 7860 et seq.: 1.

At the beginning of the proceeding the court will consider whether or not the interests of the minor child require the appointment of counsel. If the court finds that the interests of the minor do require such protection, the court will appoint counsel to represent him/her whether or not he/ she is able to afford counsel. The minor will not be present in court unless he/she requests or the court so orders.

2.

If a parent of the minor appears without counsel and is unable to afford counsel, the court must appoint counsel for the parent, unless the parent knowingly and intelligently waives the right to be represented by counsel. The court will not appoint the same counsel to represent both the minor and his/her parent.

3.

The court may appoint either the public defender or private counsel. If private counsel is appointed, he or she will receive a reasonable sum for compensation and expenses, the amount of which will be determined by the court. The amount must be paid by the real parties in interest, but not by the minor, in such proportions as the court believes to be just. If, however, the court finds that any of the real parties in interest cannot afford counsel, the amount will be paid by the county.

The court may continue the proceeding for not more than thirty (30) days as necessary to appoint counsel to become acquainted with the case.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: What belief would you be willing to change your mind about if offered convincing counter-evidence? Freewillastrology.com.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Would you be willing to meditate on how you might become more skilled in the arts of intimacy?

Would you consider reading books and websites that offer guidance about strategies for being the best partner and ally you can be? Are you receptive to becoming more devoted to practicing empathy and deep listening? I’m not saying you’re deficient in these matters, nor am I implying that you need to improve your mastery of them any more than the rest of us. I simply want you to know that now is an especially favorable time for you to make progress.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Entre chien et loup is a French idiom that literally means “between dog and wolf.” It’s used to describe twilight or dusk, when the light is faint and it’s tough to distinguish between a dog and a wolf. But it may also suggest a situation that is a blend of the familiar and the unknown, or even a moment when what’s ordinary and routine is becoming unruly or wild. Entre chien et loup suggests an intermediary state that’s unpredictable or beyond our ability to define. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose you regard it as one of your main themes for now.

Don’t fight it; enjoy it! Thrive on it!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For 34 years, the beloved American TV personality Mr. Rogers did a show for children. He’s now widely acknowledged as having been a powerful teacher of goodness and morality. Here’s a fun fact: His actual middle name was “McFeely.” I propose that you use that as a nickname for yourself. If McFeely doesn’t quite appeal to you, maybe try “Feel Maestro” or “Emotion Adept” or “Sensitivity Genius.” Doing so might help inspire you to fulfill your astrological assignment in the coming weeks, which is to allow yourself to experience more deep feelings than usual—and thereby enhance your heart intelligence. That’s crucial! In the coming weeks, your head intelligence needs your heart intelligence to be working at peak capacity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A blogger named Dr.LoveLlama writes, “You may think I am walking around the house with a blanket around my shoulders because I am cold, but in fact the ‘blanket’ is my cloak and I am on a fantasy adventure.”

I approve of such behavior during our ongoing struggles with COVID-19, and I especially recommend it to you in the coming days. You’ll be wise to supercharge your imagination, giving it permission to dream up heroic adventures and epic exploits that you may or may not actually undertake someday. It’s time to become braver and more playful in the inner realms.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to author Rev. Dr. Marilyn Sewell, “The body has its own way of knowing, a knowing that has little to do with logic, and much to do with truth.” I recommend that you meditate on that perspective. Make it your keynote. Your physical organism always has wisdom to impart, and you can always benefit from tuning in to it—and that’s especially important for you right now. So let me ask you: How much skill do you have in listening to what your body tells you? How receptive are you to its unique and sometimes subtle forms of expression? I hope you’ll enhance your ability to commune with it during the next four weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In his fictional memoir Running in the Family, Virgo author Michael Ondaatje returns to Sri Lanka, the land where he spent his childhood, after many years away. At one point he enthuses that he would sometimes wake up in the morning and “just smell things for the whole day.” I’d love for you to try a similar experiment, Virgo: Treat yourself to a festival of aromas. Give yourself freely to consorting with the sensual joy of the world’s many scents.

Does that sound frivolous? I don’t think it is. I believe it would have a deeply calming and grounding effect on you.

It would anchor you more thoroughly in the here and now of

your actual life, and inspire you to shed any fantasies that you should be different from who you are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The hardest thing you will ever do is trust yourself,” says Libran journalist Barbara Walters. Really? I don’t think so. In my experience, the hardest thing to do is to consistently treat ourselves with the loving care we need to be mentally and physically healthy. But I do acknowledge that trusting ourselves is also an iffy task for many of us. And yet that’s often because we don’t habitually give ourselves the loving care we need to be healthy. How can we trust ourselves if we don’t put in the work necessary to ensure our vitality? But here’s the good news, Libra: In the coming weeks, you’re likely to be extra motivated and intuitively astute whenever you improve the way you nurture yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “You can’t learn anything when you’re trying to look like the smartest person in the room,” writes author Barbara Kingsolver. That’s a useful message for you right now. Why? Because you will soon be exposed to teachings that could change your life for the better. And if you hope to be fully available for those teachings, you must be extra receptive and curious and open-minded—which means you shouldn’t try to seem like you already know everything you need to know.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’ve decided not to use quotes by famous writers who’ve endorsed bigoted ideas. In the future, my horoscopes won’t mention the work of T. S. Eliot, Roald Dahl, V. S. Naipaul, Edith Wharton, Kingsley Amis, H. P. Lovecraft, Flannery O’Connor, Rudyard Kipling, and Louis-Ferdinand Celine. I’m sorry to see them go, because I’ve learned a lot from some of them. And I understand that many were reflecting attitudes that were widespread in their era and milieu. But as I’ve deepened my commitment to fighting prejudice, I’ve come to the conclusion that I personally don’t want to engage with past perpetrators. Now, in accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you to take an inventory of your own relationship with bigoted influences— and consider making some shifts in your behavior. (More info: tinyurl.com/BigotedAuthors1 and tinyurl.com/ BigotedAuthors2)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn chemist Tu YouYou doesn’t have a medical degree or Ph.D. Yet she discovered a treatment for malaria that has saved millions of lives. The drug was derived from an ancient herbal medicine that she spent years tracking down. In part because of her lack of credentials, she remained virtually unsung from the time she helped come up with the cure in 1977 until she won a Nobel Prize in 2015.

What’s most unsung about your accomplishments, Capricorn?

There’s a much better chance than usual that it will finally be appreciated in the coming months.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Luck is what happens to you when fate gets tired of waiting,” says author Gregory David Roberts. If that’s true, I expect that a surge of luck will flow your way soon. According to my astrological analysis, fate has grown impatient waiting for you to take the actions that would launch your life story’s next chapter. Hopefully, a series of propitious flukes will precipitate the postponed but necessary transformations. My advice? Don’t question the unexpected perks. Don’t get in their way. Allow them to work their magic.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Have you formulated wily plans and crafty maneuvers to help you navigate through the labyrinthine tests and trials up ahead? I hope so. If you hope to solve the dicey riddles and elude the deceptive temptations, you’ll need to use one of your best old tricks— and come up with a new trick, as well. But please keep this important caveat in mind: To succeed, you won’t necessarily have to break the rules. It may be sufficient merely to make the rules more supple and flexible. ∆
