Editor’s note

good rule of thumb when it comes to recycling plastic is to check the recycling symbol on the container for a number. No. 1 and No. 2 plastics can be thrown in the blue bin, and anything else isn’t really recyclable.

Lucia Mar school board recall campaign fails

FILE PHOTO BY KASEY BUBNASH

hree board members of San Luis Obispo County’s largest school district prevailed over recall efforts on Nov. 5, ending a 160day tussle marked by mask debates, dirt-filled petition envelopes, and even a “freeway chase.” But recall organizers said they’re not giving up. “We’re going to continue fighting for kids in our district. Hopefully, we’ll be able to replace them … and get them to do the right thing,” said Shannon Galvan, president of Central Coast Families for Education Reform (CCFER). CCFER started the recall campaign in early June to replace three of the seven Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD) board members—Don Stewart, Colleen Martin, and Dee Santos. In order to spark a recall election, their petition needed 8,302 signatures for each board member from registered voters in LMUSD. They had to be turned in by 5 p.m. on Nov. 4. Galvan told New Times that they collected roughly 6,000 signatures for each of the three. She expects the final count to be lower once the county clerk-recorder ratifies the signatures after 30 business days. CCFER organized the campaign because of the three board members’ vocal disagreement with resuming in-person classes in early 2021. The organization claimed that the online education model negatively impacted student grades. CCFER also opposed the board’s decision to conduct public meetings on Zoom. On Nov. 2, the LMUSD board approved to meet virtually for another month, after anticipating a spike in COVID-19 infections because of the holiday season. “Trying to offer public comment on Zoom is a nightmare,” Galvan said. “If you’re like me, and they see your name, they can remove you from the meeting room and won’t let you comment at all.” In an email to media outlets, CCFER hinted at other issues it had with some of the board members. “Over the last six months, our community has been made aware of the unprofessional conduct by many of our board members, and

we have an opportunity to run a campaign against each board member up for election in 2022,” the email read. Galvan said that in spite of citing compromised health at the Nov. 2 meeting to approve virtual meetings, recall candidate Martin organized a party at her house three days later and advertised it on Facebook. “I mean, yes, the party was celebrating the end of the recall and whether it went to the ballot or not, TROUBLED TIMES Beginning early in the summer, the Central Coast we would have a party.

SLO makes Cerro San Luis night hiking program permanent

“Why do we want to have people drive out of our community to be able to get exercise after work, to be able to enjoy the beauty of our community after work?” Stewart said at the meeting. “It really comes down to, it’s less than 3 percent of our 4,000 acres [of open space]. It’s a very small, nominal amount, which makes me say, OK this seems like a compromise we can make.” SLO’s open space hours are typically one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset— designed to protect the nocturnal or crepuscular animals living on the preserves. But that leaves 9-to-5 workers without much of an opportunity to hike or bike them in the winter evenings. Responding to that feedback in 2018, the City Council adopted a pilot program that has since allowed some limited after-dark access on Cerro San Luis in the winter. That’s the program

After weeks of debate and hand-wringing, the San Luis Obispo City Council voted narrowly on Nov. 9 to make its winter night hiking pilot program on Cerro San Luis Natural Reserve permanent. The council’s 3-2 vote means that residents will be able to legally access SLO’s central mountain (featuring the Mission Prep “M”) until 8:30 p.m. between November and March, when daylight savings is in effect. Mayor Erica Stewart, a swing vote on the ordinance, said she thought the program struck the right balance between improving open space access and equity while still protecting it as a natural resource.

that the council cemented into a permanent ordinance on Nov. 9, with SLO continuing an online permitting system that capped each evening’s mountain users at 65 people. Councilmembers Andy Pease and Michelle Shoresman joined Stewart in the majority vote, while Jan Marx and Carlyn Christianson opposed the program. Marx, the council’s most forceful opponent of night hiking, said she believes the Cerro San Luis program sets a “dangerous precedent” for the city prioritizing recreation over environmental conservation in open space. “What is the message this council would be sending?” Marx said. “I’m deeply concerned that making this program permanent encourages an attitude of territorial dominance toward our protective open space natural preserves. … To NEWS continued page 6

open up this Pandora’s box is going to further the divide the community and will likely result in battles over the uses of the open space in the near and far future.” SLO’s debate over night hiking drew impassioned opinions not just from members of the City Council, but from residents. At a prior meeting on Oct. 19, the City Council decided not to pass the ordinance in response to an outpouring of public opposition that in part questioned the adequacy of the ordinance’s environmental review. Instead, the council asked city staff to examine the issues raised by the public and come back with updated information. At that Oct. 19 meeting, Marx drew public criticism for comparing SLO’s night hiking saga to the Jan. 6 riots in Washington, D.C. “We’re in an era where there’s kind of a general wave of people doing something illegal, violating the rules, and then not wanting to take the consequences, and instead pressuring the authorities to cave and cater to them. The Jan. 6 insurrection at the [Capitol] is an example of this,” Marx said. “I believe that this night hiking and biking program is exactly the same kind of thing.” Christie O’Hara, a member of the Central Coast Concerned Mountain Bikers, wrote to the city ahead of the Nov. 9 meeting demanding that Marx apologize for the comment. “She has compared those not agreeing with her to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrectionists. This is not only vile, but completely disrespectful and insulting,” O’Hara wrote. Marx addressed her prior comments at the Nov. 9 meeting. “I want to apologize for offending people and for the comments I made comparing people illegally accessing open space to other groups conducting illegal conduct and then asking for the law to be changed. However, the principle stands, in my opinion,” Marx said. Residents questioning the environmental review for the ordinance criticized the city’s methods for establishing a 65-person “baseline” for evening use, its studying of nighttime use only on the 118-acre city-owned portion of the mountain, and its alleged undervaluing of night hiking’s impacts on wildlife. The city responded in a memo for the meeting, concluding that its environmental document was sufficient. In the memo, the

city noted that it spoke with an author of a recent scientific article about the impact of light and noise on animals, who said that night hiking’s impacts on Cerro San Luis would be “negligible when considering the ambient effects of light and noise” from the surrounding city and adjacent Highway 101. “Based upon review of public comments received related to the issues described above … no new information was provided that requires revisions to the [environmental] analysis,” SLO staff wrote. Due to the council’s belated adoption of the ordinance, nighttime access at Cerro San Luis this winter won’t start until Dec. 17. —Peter Johnson

DA’s Office says Shandon-San Juan Water District violated Brown Act

The Shandon-San Juan Water District—an agricultural water district in North County—violated state public meeting laws earlier this year when it met privately in closed session to discuss and make decisions about applying for new water rights in Lake Nacimiento and Santa Margarita Lake, according to the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office. In a “cease and desist” letter sent to the district on Nov. 4, the DA’s Office wrote that the district’s board of directors should have discussed those issues in open session as required by the Ralph M. Brown Act, and it asked that the district respond in writing with “an unconditional commitment to ‘cease, desist from, and not repeat the prior action’” to avoid a “civil enforcement action.” “It has come to the attention of this office that on March 16, 2021, the board of directors of the Shandon-San Juan Water District violated the Brown Act by going into a closed meeting to discuss matters that should have occurred in open session,” the DA’s letter read. “[The Brown Act requires] that the entire deliberative process by legislative bodies, including discussion, debate, and the acquisition of information, be open and available for public scrutiny.” In February, the Shandon-San Juan Water District filed two applications with the California Department of Water Resources for rights to up to 14,000 acre-feet of water per year from Lake Nacimiento and Santa Margarita Lake.

Recyclable?

If you’re unsure whether or not something is recyclable in SLO County, head to iwma.com and use the “What do I do with … ” search function to find out, or to find an alternative way to recycle.

Recycling plastics comes with confusion, and a new law attempts to clear that up. But does it address the root issue?

lastic berry cartons from the supermarket. A clear coffee cup from Starbucks. Individually packaged yogurt containers. Can you put any of these common pieces of single-use plastic in your blue bin? The answer is: not really. In SLO County, and most other places, only No. 1 and 2 plastics can be recycled at the curbside. This is the number inside the “chasing arrows” recycle symbol that you’ll find on the bottom of many singleuse plastics, ranging from 1 to 7. But the symbol is largely misleading because it prompts consumers to think that anything with the triangle of arrows is recyclable. A good rule of thumb is that recyclable No. 1 and 2 plastics are anything with a bottleneck: plastic water bottles, milk jugs, empty laundry detergent containers, and soda bottles, for example. But there’s a lot of other plastic that commonly ends up in the wrong bin. Take the clamshell plastic cartons that strawberries or blueberries come packaged in at the supermarket, for instance. Made of bendy, clear plastic, these containers might look recyclable. But when the cartons get crushed, they break into many small plastic shards, making it impossible to process them, said ECOSLO Executive Director Mary Ciesinski. “There’s seven different codes for plastics. That has been really confusing for consumers,” Ciesinski said. “The chasing arrow symbol has been more of a marketing scheme than it has been an actual designation that a product is recyclable. … We see the recycling symbol and it’s been kind of ingrained to us as humans, if there’s a recycling symbol on it, it’s recyclable. But it’s really not the case.”

Clearing up confusion

Legislation signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in early October aims to clear up some of the confusion around plastics. It prohibits manufacturers from putting the recycling symbol on products that aren’t recyclable under California’s definitions. “I think holding manufacturers accountable is a really good step in the right direction, and it has to happen at that level because just one city or one county banning things or putting ordinances in place [isn’t enough],” Ciesinski said. “It has to happen upstream.” Jordan Lane, solid waste and recycling coordinator with the city of San Luis Obispo’s Recycling Program, explained why local policy doesn’t make much of an impact on the system at large. “[The state legislation] is going to be hugely impactful because if we were to make that change at the local level, it wouldn’t necessarily affect manufacturers because there isn’t much manufacturing in the city of San Luis Obispo. It’s happening at the state level,” Lane said. “It can really have a huge impact on how people understand recycling.” The new law basically stops

Recycling plastic bags of any thickness is too costly, so “what we took as a goal of reducing plastic, you now ended up with a ton of single-use plastic that was thicker than the original single-use bags,” he said.

manufacturers from using the recycling symbol as a marketing ploy, in turn clearing up public confusion around what actually goes into the blue bin.

An unsustainable product

But, some point out, such legislative changes don’t necessarily get at the root of the problem: Single-use plastics are largely unrecyclable—and even those that are will never become a plastic bottle again. Aaron Gomez, a former SLO City Council member and previous Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) board member, said “recycle” isn’t really an accurate word to describe what happens to single-use plastics, even when they’re properly disposed of. “We don’t recycle plastics,” Gomez said. “We downcycle plastics. … They get turned into carpets, they get turned into jackets. But guess what you can’t recycle: The carpet or the jacket when it gets to its end of life. So it’s literally a one-time downcycle process.” And even as California implements laws like the recycling symbol regulations, the state simultaneously makes it harder for people to recycle in other ways, Gomez said. He gave the example of rePLANET, a private recycling company that closed down in 2019. “The CRV [California Redemption Value] that every single person has to pay when you get a recyclable bottle, that goes to the state and the state is supposed to also collect it from manufacturers, because the 10 cents goes back to whoever turns in the bottles,” he said. “The state is supposed to take the excess funds and the funds they collect from manufacturers and give that out to rePLANET to pay for the cost of them being in business.” But in the years leading up to rePLANET’s closure, Gomez said, California wasn’t repaying the company fast enough, and the amount of money was inadequate for the business to operate sustainably. “So the state let rePLANET close their doors,” he said. “To me, the state completely blundered the use of CRV and hasn’t filled that void, and is leaving it up to local jurisdictions to try to figure that out.” Historically, individual businesses that sell recyclable bottles also had an obligation to take them back, and the state could even issue fines if a business failed to do so. “When this whole pandemic happened, they just stopped issuing those fines, and now you can go into some grocery stores or liquor stores and they’ll have a little sign up there, ‘We only take six bottles at a time,’” Gomez said. “People used to collect bags and bags, hundreds of bottles at a time. So now that whole thing is stopped.” These shifts affect more than the recycling industry. They also impact the people who relied on CRV money from turning in bottles: namely, people

Legislative loopholes On top of these barriers, Gomez said there are some major loopholes in some of California’s so-called anti-plastic legislation. “The plastic bag ban is a prime example of loopholes being built into a policy, which made us as the public think that we were doing something,” Gomez said. “The industry itself threatened lawsuits against both the state and local jurisdictions that [banned plastic bags], basically forcing within that policy a definition of thickness of plastic bag.” Under the legislation, if a plastic bag is thick enough to be considered “reusable,” it’s still allowed. “Even if you call something a reusable bag, that doesn’t make it a reusable bag,” Gomez said.

Petrifying past As the nation’s racial gap closes for vaccination rates, SLO County’s Black population lags behind

PUBLIC NOTICE

edding photographer and academic counselor Renoda Campbell thought of her older parents, who migrated to San Luis Obispo County from the American South, when the nation first rolled out COVID-19 vaccines. “When it comes to African Americans in the medical community, we haven’t been treated well. There just has been a skepticism about medical issues in general,” Campbell said. Though she was also concerned about the quickness with which vaccines arrived, it was only when she heard about popular Black figures like Kamala Harris getting their shots that Campbell started researching the importance of getting inoculated. By April, she was fully vaccinated, and on Nov. 3 the city of SLO resident also rolled up her sleeve for the booster shot. Campbell’s hesitation mirrored Black America’s. Accessing COVID-19 tests and vaccines was disproportionate by race, income, and social standing. People of color also overrepresented front-line workers and essential-jobs employees, which made them more vulnerable to the disease. However, with robust public health campaigning, the nationwide vaccination numbers among Black and Hispanic groups now almost reflect their population rate. A Kaiser Family Foundation survey showed that by late September, 70 percent of Black adults and 73 percent of Hispanic adults had received at least one vaccine dose. But SLO County is going against this grain. As of Nov. 1, only 28.8 percent of the county’s Black residents were fully vaccinated, according to California Department of Public Health data. About 68 percent of the county’s Black population hasn’t received a single dose yet. SLO County’s community is more hesitant than the state’s overall Black population where 54 percent are fully vaccinated and 6 percent are at least partially vaccinated. “We are aware of the numbers. I don’t understand it because I feel that we all

[must] get vaccinated so that we can actually stop this spread and stop the deaths. Black people have been lied to; people have scammed them. I think that’s where the hesitancy comes from—fear of the unknown and the past,” said Cheryl Vines, NAACP SLO County’s branch secretary. The past that Vines mentioned is defined by medical racism. Both Campbell and Vines spoke about the Tuskegee Experiment that still informs fear in Black minds when seeking medical help. Conducted between 1932 and 1972, the study examined the effects of untreated syphilis in nearly 400 Black men, even though it was entirely treatable. More than 100 of them died as a result. Campbell also highlighted the case of Henrietta Lacks, a Black woman who died of cervical cancer in 1951. During her diagnosis and treatment, doctors at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore gave researchers samples of her cancerous cells without her consent. These cells, known as HeLa, are still widely used today. “African American women aren’t given medication as much as people of other races because they’re considered strong and can handle it. The culmination of these particular thoughts and what has happened in the past made me skeptical,” Campbell said. Vines added that incidents like the Tuskegee Experiment and the disproportionate deaths of pregnant Black women are still talked about by Black people in SLO County when the NAACP does outreach work on vaccine awareness in communities of color. It doesn’t help the they make up only 2 percent of the county population. “There’s still some underlying trust issues with spoken word. We don’t fare very well because there’s not that many of us. If there’s only two of us in this situation and only one of us gets help, that’s a 50 percent response rate,” said Preston Allen, a Cal Poly professor emeritus and R.A.C.E. Matters SLO member.

Opinion Why rush stacks talk?

I have to back Mr. Sean Green and Mr. Jeff Heller on this one (“Morro Bay City Council votes to let Vistra demolish the stacks,” Nov. 4). Whether you are for or against removing the power plant stacks, the City Council promised the residents a chance to weigh in. There has been no formal weighing in, other than a last-minute, last item on the agenda, at the planning commission level. As your article stated, the deadline for the city to submit a preference isn’t for another 13 months. Let the community vote. Why the rush? Betty Winholtz Morro Bay

Scrutinize your ‘facts’

How perfectly fitting that Gary Benites’ letter (“Something I’ve wanted to do,” Nov. 4) regarding Al Fonzi’s tendency to spew misinformation (with a straight face, mind you) and Fonzi’s latest (“Musings of a pack rat,” Nov. 4) appeared on the same day! We got a long diatribe on the evils of Third World dictators and “petropolitics,” couched in Fonzi’s unmistakable style: “Look how well-read and educated I am!” (while he spews forth total balderdash). To wit: After bemoaning the current high gas prices, we get this: “I … don’t understand why my fellow Americans really like paying $5, $6, or soon even $8 to $10/ gallon for gas. After all, they voted the politicians into office responsible for this mess.” Seriously, Al? In an effort to enlighten you, Al, the price of gas is directly influenced by the price of oil, and there are two factors that have driven up the price: One is that demand collapsed last year as the pandemic caused many people to stop traveling, and the price of oil plummeted. That, in turn, ended up idling 3 million barrels per day of U.S. oil production

relative to a year ago. That wasn’t the fault of any politician. Now, as the end of the pandemic nears, demand is bouncing back, but supply doesn’t respond as quickly, which puts more pressure on prices. According to Forbes, on the first trading day of January 2021, the price of West Texas Intermediate closed at $47.47 per barrel (bbl). Two months later, on the first trading day of March, the price closed at $60.54/bbl. During that time, gasoline prices rose by $0.46/gallon. In addition, OPEC and Russia decided to extend most of the current output cuts—Saudi Arabia kept in place a million barrel per day cut! That sent oil prices even higher, and will likely keep them there. Meanwhile, our current gasoline supply in the U.S. is at a two-year low. Supply vs. demand. Get it, Al? Sitting presidents have zero to do with gas prices, and never have. Fact is, your claim that it’s Biden’s fault because “President Biden and his Democrat allies shut down substantial segments of our national oil industry” is as ludicrous as “restrictions on fossil fuels are creating artificially high prices.” Neither claim can withstand the slightest amount of scrutiny.

Get in on redistricting

On Nov. 19 at 9 a.m. the San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors will hold a third public hearing on redistricting. They will consider whether to keep the current district maps virtually intact or to make significant changes to the district lines. The final district maps will be in place for 10 years, until the next census in 2030. This matters because the changes could drastically alter the composition of districts and affect residents’ ability to

elect the supervisors of their choice. Two of the district maps under consideration keep the current districts mostly unchanged. Other maps make major changes: moving Cambria and San Simeon into a district with Paso Robles; putting Oceano in the same district as Grover Beach and Pismo Beach; making the city of San Luis Obispo one district, with one representative on the fivemember Board of Supervisors. While equal population distribution is the first criteria the board must consider, it must also respect “communities of interest” to the extent practicable. A “community of interest” is defined as populations that share common social or economic interests. We urge residents who share a “community of interest” to study the proposed maps on the SLO County Administrative Office redistricting site and to attend the Nov. 19 hearing in person or submit public comment to the board by email at redistricting@co.slo.gov.

estimate would be pure guesswork. With 100 platforms, any design error or cost overrun would be multiplied accordingly. Wind turbines, having numerous moving parts, have an anticipated life of around 20 years, and maintenance will be a challenge since the platforms will be far out to sea and a soccer field or so up in the air. It would also be inefficient. In 2020, German offshore wind production had a capacity factor of 27.8 percent of nameplate capacity. Assuming a similar production rate off the California coast would mean that 1,000 megawatts of nameplate capacity would only produce less than the equivalent of 300 megawatts on an annual basis. In addition, because renewable production in California is already maxed out at less than 25 percent of total demand, the entire offshore wind production would have to be stored to be available for when other existing renewables production is not available.

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY ANDREW CHRISTIE

The district you save F ormer Wisconsin state Rep. Bernard Schaber recently shared a message with a Sierra Club group in his state: “What is the No. 1 issue for us as environmentalists? Is it clean air? Is it clean water? Is it biodiversity? Nope ... it is fair maps and abandoning gerrymandering!” Redistricting—the once-every-10-years update and redrawing of the maps of the districts from whence elected officials are elected—is not forever. But, if done wrong, it can feel like it. Non-representative government has that effect. And wielding that process to ensure that political power is transferred to, and remains in, one set of hands is the point of gerrymandering, redistricting’s dark shadow and eternal temptation. In 2019, on a 5-4 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority reversed several lower court rulings and ruled that the gerrymandering of electoral districts is not a matter in which federal courts can intervene. The court’s ruling was aimed at the drawing of congressional districts and did not affect state or local laws. That’s good, because the practice, and the problem, is readily replicated at the local level. Which is why you should be paying attention to what’s happening right now at the SLO County Board of Supervisors, where the opportunity for public comment on the board’s redistricting of the county’s supervisorial districts will basically finish up by the end of this month. After that, it could be a long 10 years, and likely a lot longer. Here’s how to weigh in: Go to the redistricting information page on the county’s website and click on Draft Maps & Publicly Submitted Maps in the lefthand column in order to peruse Draft Maps A through D (and, time permitting, the lengthening list of maps submitted by individuals). Find your community and surrounding areas. Then look for the telltale signs of the gerrymanderer’s craft: packing and cracking. These are two opposite techniques that achieve the same goal. Packing puts a high number of known voters of the party not in power into a single district. The board majority’s political rivals would be sure to win in that district but sure to lose in the surrounding districts that just lost all those voters. Cracking spreads a small number of opposition voters over several districts, not enough to compete with the candidates of the party in power. As NPR put it in describing one of the cases that led to that 2019 Supreme Court ruling, “Republicans managed to both maximize their advantage and minimize Democratic power by drawing district lines to pack as many Democrats as possible into three districts, and then cracking other potentially Democratic districts in half or thirds, diluting the Democratic vote to create safe Republican districts.” While you are perusing those maps, pay special attention to the proposed

remapping of District 4, whether or not you live there. This will be the focus of next year’s most consequential local electoral contest, in which Supervisor Lynn Compton will be defending her seat against candidate Jimmy Paulding. The last time the two ran against each other, Compton won by 60 votes—a pretty clear indicator that this is a balanced, competitive district. That’s why Sierra Club supports the position of Citizens for Preserving District No. 4: Current census data, traditional redistricting principles, and recently enacted statutory criteria governing decisions about the rebalancing or redrawing of California supervisorial districts do not support a need for any significant changes to the 4th District’s current boundaries. In the 2022 elections, as goes the 4th District, so goes the county, and so go the next 10 years. To stay on top of the process, sign up for updates and keep an eye on the scheduled meetings of the supervisors where you will have a chance to attend, speak, and/ or send in public comments on this oncein-a-decade issue: • Nov. 19 at 9 a.m.—draft maps hearing. • Nov. 30 at 9 a.m.—final map and redistricting plan adoption. • Dec. 7 at 9 a.m.—introduction of ordinance. • Dec. 14 at 1:30 p.m.—adoption of ordinance. When the Supreme Court declined to take action on gerrymandering in 2019, Justice Elena Kagan, writing for the four justices in dissent, said, “Of all times to abandon the court’s duty to declare the law, this was not the one. The practices challenged in these cases imperil our system of government. Part of the court’s role in that system is to defend its foundations. None is more important than free and fair elections.” Right now, that’s where you come in. ∆ Andrew Christie is the director of the Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club.

Opinion

The Shredder

Hyperbolic heckling

o you ever look at someone after they’ve done something really stupid and wonder how they could have ever thought that something was OK? Obviously, that’s a rhetorical question, because yes you have! I was thinking that about a month ago as I listened to San Luis Obispo City Councilmember Jan Marx wax on about the dangers of nighttime use of Cerro San Luis, comparing after-dark open space users to Jan. 6 insurrectionists and the dispensary permit issues that the Natural Healing Center ran into because its former CEO is a criminal. Woah bro! “We’re in an era where … there’s kind of a general wave of people doing something illegal, violating the rules, and then not wanting to take the consequences, and instead pressuring the authorities to cave and cater to them,” Marx said during an Oct. 19 City Council discussion, apparently not realizing that there’s also “kind of a general wave” of politicians overdramatizing issues by equating them to things they don’t actually equate to. “The Jan. 6 insurrection at the White House is an example of this. … I believe that this night hiking and biking program is exactly the same kind of thing.” Actually, the insurrection was at the Capitol, but Marx better get U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on the phone! Because he needs to speak with the FBI, which obviously needs to start tracking down night hikers and bikers in

SLO County so the U.S. Department of Justice can get some cases on the docket! It’s not like they have their hands full prosecuting actual insurrectionists and catching up with people like Helios Dayspring, an actual criminal who bribed elected officials and evaded taxes! Hyperbolic much, Jan? It most certainly isn’t “exactly the same kind of thing.” In fact, it’s not even close. Not even in the same ballpark, not even on the same planet. She must of received some pushback, because she said “sorry, not sorry,” during the Nov. 9 City Council meeting where her fellow council members voted to continue the city’s night hiking program into the future. “I want to apologize for offending people and for the comments I made comparing people illegally accessing open space to other groups conducting illegal conduct and then asking for the law to be changed,” Marx said, apparently not realizing that the city’s night hiking pilot program made night hiking a legally permitted activity. “However, the principle stands in my opinion.” Umm. I’m still very much offended! “To open up this Pandora’s box is going to further divide the community,” she added, referring to an ideological discussion between San Luis Obispo’s liberal residents, who seem to care more about nighttime use of open space than the city losing some of its waning power on the conservative-leaning

was giving me the sign he was giving SLO County Board of Supervisors! me,” she said calmly, apparently not If she really wants to get hyperbolic, realizing that chasing a stranger’s car and flex those progressive political muscles, the item to compare to Pandora’s down the freeway for 20 to 30 minutes isn’t normal behavior. “I just wanted to box is the county’s redistricting process, give him the opportunity to talk to me.” which is threatening to cordon off a Umm.

Arts Artifacts Local wineries team up for fundraiser to support the Paso Robles Youth Arts Center

The Wineries of 46 East Association—a group of 15 SLO County wineries—is currently participating in a month-long fundraiser to benefit the Paso Robles Youth Arts Center, which will run through the end of November. Each winery in the group is donating a portion of their sales to the center, in support of its mission to offer free visual and performing arts education to local youth. “The Paso Robles Youth Arts Center has given so much to families in our community. They are truly making a difference in the lives of these kids, who, without them, may never have the opportunity to pursue their desire or passion for learning the arts,” Audrey Arellano, president and treasurer of Wineries of 46 East, said in press materials. In conjunction with the fundraiser, several tasting rooms are currently showcasing art created by students of the Paso Robles Youth Arts Center, completed in collaboration with professional artist Joe Thomas. Many of the featured artworks depict rescue animals from the Heart Animal Sanctuary in Paso Robles. For more details, visit pryoutharts.org. The Wineries of 46 East includes Allegretto Wines, Barr Estate Winery, Bianchi Winery, Brochelle Vineyards, Broken Earth Winery, Eberle Winery, Glunz Family Winery, Paris Valley Road Estate Winery, Penman Springs Vineyard, Rio Seco Winery, Robert Hall Winery, San Antonio Winery, Tobin James Cellars, Villa San-Juliette Winery, and Vina Robles Winery.

SLO-based artist Chante Griffin receives $10,000 grant from California Arts Council

The California Arts Council recently awarded a total of more than $2 million to applicants of an inaugural 2021 Individual Arts Fellowship, to be split between 182 recipients residing throughout the state. Only one artist on the list, Chante Griffin, hails from San Luis Obispo County. Griffin received a grant of $10,000. According to press materials, the California Arts Council selected artists from “a broad spectrum of artistic practices, backgrounds, geographies, and communities, whose work addresses themes such as race, diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, consistent with the goals of the council,” explained Lilia GonzalesChavez, council chair. Anne Brown-Crawford, executive director of the council, added that the council is eager to celebrate “this much anticipated return to directly supporting our state’s artists,” and described the fellowships as signifying “the beginning of a new era of understanding and valuing the role of the artist in the social fabric of our state’s communities.” ∆ —Caleb Wiseblood

The Dalí grind SLO local Julie Torchia curates historic prints and local gems at new Solvang gallery

COURTESY PHOTO BY JULIE TORCHIA

iven the amount of time Julie Torchia spends perusing rare artworks before putting them on the market, it’s not hard to believe the bittersweet reaction she described when the right buyer comes along. One of the local curator’s most recent attachments is a Henri Matisse piece, Acrobatic Dancer, which is displayed near the front entrance of Torchia’s new gallery in downtown Solvang. Torchia said she feels ready to let the print go, but her hesitant tone suggests otherwise. “You do get better about letting stuff go the more you do it,” said Torchia, who’s garnered years of art marketing and curating experience throughout her career. Although she’s worked for various art sellers over the years, Solvang Fine Art—which opened its doors to the public on Oct. 1—marks Torchia’s first venture as a gallery owner. “This is brand new for me. It’s exciting, stressful. I’m learning new things,” Torchia said. “But you know, it’s been a good ride. I haven’t had a mental breakdown.” Since the gallery’s opening, Torchia has spent her mornings commuting to Solvang six days a week from her home in San Luis Obispo. She described the drive as a breeze though, compared to some of the mile-to-minute ratios she encountered while working for a gallery in Beverly Hills. But there are still days when Torchia finds herself wishing the gallery’s second floor neighbor—one of Solvang’s classiest hotels, The Winston—might let her crash for the night. “Can I just move in here?” Torchia joked, before adding she’ll probably move closer to Solvang eventually, preferably to Santa Barbara. SLO will always remain special to Torchia though, as she was born and raised there. After she turned 18, she moved to the Bay Area to

“It’s about fi nding and keeping those traditional dishes on the menu, and still going through seasonal change as well,” Brooks said. “For the fall menu you’re able to put on a little bit heavier dishes, and same with winter, but then it’s a sharp contrast between those seasons and then you have spring coming, which is one of the best seasons. You have those fi rst spring peas, spring carrots, spring chicken, spring lambs, rams— all of those vegetables that signal that spring is here.” Until spring rolls around, SLO residents can enjoy the heartier fall and

winter menus at Brasserie SLO. The little details—hazelnut caper brown butter, potato and parsnip puree, lemon herb ricotta—are what make each fall menu dish memorable. “In California, with all of the local farmers and growers, pretty much the entire national produce for the U.S.—it’s a great opportunity to really let the food showcase itself,” Brooks said. And the same goes for the vegetables incorporated into each fall dish: leeks, braised red cabbage, broccolini, creamed local spinach. FLAVOR continued page 28

Homework: For your homework, write an essay on ‘What Rob Brezsny is most ignorant about.’ Newsletter.freewillastrology.com ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): For much of her life, Aries poet Mary Ruefle enjoyed imagining that polar bears and penguins “grew up together playing side by side on the ice, sharing the same vista, bits of blubber, and innocent lore.” But one day, her illusions were shattered. In a science journal, she discovered that there are no penguins in the far north and no bears in the far south. I bring this to your attention, Aries, because the coming weeks will be a good time to correct misimpressions you’ve held for a while—even as far back as childhood. Joyfully modernize your understanding of how the world works.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You could soon reach a new level of mastery in an aptitude described by author Banana Yoshimoto. She wrote, “Once you’ve recognized your own limits, you’ve raised yourself to a higher level of being, since you’re closer to the real you.” I hope her words inspire you, Libra. Your assignment is to seek a liberating breakthrough by identifying who you will never be and what you will never do. If you do it right—with an eager, open mind—it will be fun and interesting and empowering.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

(April 20-May 20): Actor Elizabeth Taylor described her odd rhythm with actor James Dean. Occasionally, they’d stay awake till 3 a.m. as he regaled her with poignant details about his life. But the next day, Dean would act like he and Taylor were strangers—as if, in Taylor’s words, “he’d given away or revealed too much of himself.” It would take a few days before he’d be friendly again. To those of us who study the nature of intimacy, this is a classic phenomenon. For many people, taking a risk to get closer can be scary. Keep this in mind during the coming weeks, Taurus. There’ll be great potential to deepen your connection with dear allies, but you may have to deal with both your and their skittishness about it.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio theologian Eugene Peterson cleared up a mystery about the nature of mystery. He wrote, “Mystery is not the absence of meaning, but the presence of more meaning than we can comprehend.” Yes! At least sometimes, mystery can be a cause for celebration, a delightful opening into a beautiful unknown that’s pregnant with possibility. It may bring abundance, not frustration. It may be an inspiring riddle, not a debilitating doubt. Everything I just said is important for you to keep in mind right now.

(May 21-June 20): There are many different kinds of smiles. Four hundred muscles are involved in making a wide variety of expressions. Researchers have identified a specific type, dubbed the “affiliation smile,” as having the power to restore trust between two people. It’s soothing, respectful, and compassionate. I recommend you use it abundantly in the near future—along with other conciliatory behavior. You’re in a favorable phase to repair relationships that have been damaged by distrust or weakened by any other factor. (More info: tinyurl.com/HealingSmiles)

CANCER (June 21-July 22): According to feminist cosmologists Monica Sjöö and Barbara Mor, “Night, to ancient people, was not an ‘absence of light’ or a negative darkness, but a powerful source of energy and inspiration. At night the cosmos reveals herself in her vastness, the Earth opens to moisture and germination under moonlight, and the magnetic serpentine current stirs itself in the underground waters.” I bring these thoughts to your attention, fellow Cancerian, because we’re in the season when we are likely to be extra creative: as days grow shorter and nights longer. We Crabs thrive in the darkness. We regenerate ourselves and are visited by fresh insights about what Sjöö and Mor call “the great cosmic dance in which everything participates: the movement of the celestial bodies, the pulse of tides, the circulation of blood and sap in animals and plants.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your heart has its own brain: a “heart brain.” It’s composed of neurons similar to the neurons in your head’s brain. Your heart brain communicates via your vagus nerve with your hypothalamus, thalamus, medulla, amygdala, and cerebral cortex. In this way, it gives your body helpful instructions. I suspect it will be extra strong in the coming weeks. That’s why I suggest you call on your heart brain to perform a lot of the magic it specializes in: enhancing emotional intelligence, cultivating empathy, invoking deep feelings, and transforming pain.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): How did naturalist Charles Darwin become a skillful thinker who changed the world with his theory of evolution? An important factor, according to businessperson Charlie Munger: “He always gave priority attention to evidence tending to disconfirm whatever cherished and hard-won theory he already had.” He loved to be proved wrong! It helped him refine his ideas so they more closely corresponded to the truth about reality. I invite you to enjoy using this method in the coming weeks, Virgo. You could become even smarter than you already are as you wield Darwin’s rigorous approach to learning.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 2017, Richard Thaler won the Nobel Prize for Economics. His specialty: researching how unreasonable behavior affects the financial world. When he discovered that this great honor had been bestowed on him, he joked that he planned to spend the award money “as irrationally as possible.” I propose we make him your role model for the near future, Sagittarius. Your irrational, nonrational, and trans-rational intuitions can fix distortions caused by the overly analytical and hyper-logical approaches of you and your allies.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Neurotic” and “neurosis” are oldfashioned words. Psychotherapists no longer use them in analyzing their patients. The terms are still useful, though, in my opinion. Most of us are at least partly neurotic—that is to say, we don’t always adapt as well as we could to life’s constantly changing circumstances. We find it challenging to outgrow our habitual patterns, and we fall short of fulfilling the magnificent destines we’re capable of. Author Kenneth Tynan had this insight: “A neurosis is a secret that you don’t know you are keeping.” I bring this to your attention, Capricorn, because you now have extra power to adapt to changing circumstances, outgrow habitual patterns, and uncover unknown secrets—thereby diminishing your neuroses.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Author Darin Stevenson wrote the following poetic declaration: “’No one can give you the lightning-medicine,’ say the people who cannot give the lightning medicine.” How do you interpret his statement? Here’s what I think. “Lightning medicine” may be a metaphorical reference to a special talent that some people have for healing or inspiring or awakening their fellow humans. It could mean an ingenious quality in a person that enables them to reveal surprising truths or alternative perspectives. I am bringing this up, Aquarius, because I suspect you now have an enhanced capacity to obtain lightning medicine in the coming weeks. I hope you will corral it and use it even if you are told there is no such thing as lightning medicine. (PS: “Lightning medicine” will fuel your ability to accomplish difficult feats.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The superb fairywren gives its chicks lessons on how to sing when they are still inside their eggs. This is a useful metaphor for you in the coming months. Although you have not yet been entirely “born” into the next big plot twist of your hero’s journey, you are already learning what you’ll need to know once you do arrive in your new story. It will be helpful to become conscious of these clues and cues from the future. Tune in to them at the edges of your awareness. ∆
