Pismo Chamber of Commerce to protest proposed vehicle ban at Oceano Dunes

T

he Pismo Beach Chamber of Commerce is making its stance on a proposal to ban off-roading at the Oceano Dunes perfectly clear: The move, it says, would hurt local businesses.

On March 14, the Pismo Beach Chamber plans to host a protest of the California Coastal Commission’s recommendation to eliminate offroading at the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA) within the next five years.

“It’s not just the dunes,” said Lisa Kruitbosch, a Pismo Beach business owner and volunteer with the Pismo Chamber. “It is so large, the impact that it will have on the community.”

At a meeting on March 18, the Coastal Commission is slated to consider a staff recommendation to strengthen sensitive habitat conservation efforts in the Oceano Dunes while eliminating off-roading and most street-legal vehicle access in the park by 2026. If passed, offroading and most street-legal vehicle access in the SVRA would be phased out over the course of five years, a process that staff said could start as early as March 19 of this year. Only State Parks and emergency vehicles would be allowed on the beach as of 2026, except between West Grand and Pier avenues, where drive-up beach camping would continue indefinitely.

Staff also recommend closing the Pier Avenue vehicular entrance to the beach by July 1 of this year, restoring the area to a natural shoreline edge with biking, pedestrian, and equestrian access and the “typical beach area public access amenities.”

But the SVRA is the only state park in California where recreational driving is allowed on the beach and dunes, and Kruitbosch said that unique feature brings tourists and their money to businesses across South County. After talking with a number of business and hotel owners in Pismo Beach, Kruitbosch said it’s clear that the local business community relies at least partly on off-roading tourists.

The upcoming protest, according to Pismo Chamber Chairwoman Valerie Mercado, is an attempt to get the word out about the March 18 meeting. Protest attendees will gather at

the Grand Avenue entrance to the SVRA at 2 p.m. on March 14, where speakers in support of continued vehicle access will take the stage.

At 6 p.m., attendees with masks and gloves will hold hands in a line across the dunes.

“The ultimate message is the fact that it impacts the business community,” Mercado told New Times.

An economic impact study conducted and published by a Cal Poly professor earlier this year concluded that a near seven-month ban on vehicles in the Oceano Dunes during the pandemic had no significant impacts on businesses or tourism in surrounding communities. The study found that Oceano’s transient occupancy tax revenue increased for several months during the closure compared to the same months the previous year, while offroading was allowed.

But Mercado said most coastal communities in California saw spikes in tourism during the pandemic, largely, she said, because COVID-19 safety orders left Californians with nowhere else to go. That study, she said, didn’t offer an accurate picture of what a vehicle closure in the dunes would really mean.

Mercado said she works directly with local business owners almost every day, and they’re largely against a ban on vehicle access.

“If we’re not going to stand up for them, who will?” she said.

The city of Grover Beach is also working on a letter to the Coastal Commission, outlining its concerns about the recommendations and possible impacts to the local economy.

Although the Grover Beach City Council agreed at a March 8 meeting not to take an official stance on the Coastal Commission’s various recommendations, they took issue with several portions of the plan.

Council members generally agreed that the Coastal Commission should hold off on making any decisions that would impact the dunes until there is representation on the commission from someone in the Tri-Counties area. The Tri-Counties Coastal Commission seat was most recently filled by former Pismo Beach City Councilmember Erik Howell but is now vacant.

value of outdoor exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that city staff hadn’t finished a report recapping its impacts.

SLO officials have now completed that report, which offers data and analysis about the program. It shows that nightime use of the mountain skyrocketed during the month of December, when the Madonna Inn erects a Chrstimas tree of lights at the peak. While in the other months, the number of hiking permits averaged between 20 and 30 per night, they often maxed out in December.

“Once the lights go up on the mountain, it gets really, really popular,” said Bob Hill, SLO’s sustainability and natural resources official. “We’ve had more interest than we can accommodate. We’ve had to turn people away.”

Hill said that choosing Cerro San Luis for the pilot program was never about the tree—the

The San Luis Obispo City Council will discuss on March 16 whether or not to allow future night hiking on Cerro San Luis Natural Reserve—a question that’s divided locals and comes as the city wraps up a pilot program that permitted some seasonal trail use after dark.

Since 2018, during winters, locals could claim up to 65 permits each evening to access Cerro San Luis (also known as Madonna Mountain) until 8:30 p.m. For trail enthusaists and 9-to5 workers, the extended hours provide more opportunities to enjoy the open space. For conservationists, it risked further disruption of wildlife habitats.

Initially planned as a two-year pilot, the City Council voted in November 2020 to extend the program for one more season, citing the

ACCESS FOR ALL? On March 14, the Pismo Beach Chamber of Commerce plans to host a protest of the California Coastal Commission’s recommendation to eliminate off-roading at the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA) within the next five years.

Grover Beach City Council also said they’d like to see a reputable, peer-reviewed economic impact report regarding off-roading’s impacts to South County and a traffic impact study regarding the possible closure of the Pier Avenue SVRA entrance. Councilmembers also agreed that if vehicle access were to be phased out, businesses would need longer than five years to adjust.

Councilmember Mariam Shah said that more than anything she just wants to see some kind of final and permanent plan for the dunes so that SLO County residents and businesses can move on.

“Our area has been dealing with the indecision for 40 years,” Shah said, “and it is time for a true plan for everyone.” Δ —Kasey Bubnash

open space has a designated parking lot and an emergency access road, among other desirable features for night use.

The rush in December brought both benefits and drawbacks, he said.

“It’s a local tradition, and people love to do it. I certainly heard a lot of really positive feedback,” Hill said. “There have absolutely been occassions where we had some pretty serious crowding.”

The report showed that hikers made up the majority of evening trail users—of the 8,609 total permits pulled, 90 percent went to hikers and 10 percent went to mountain bikers. It also revealed that the overall number of trail users increased every year. Over the three winters, total traffic on the mountain increased by a third, according to counting devices.

Instances of hikers using the open space without a permit also soared—those volumes more than doubled from 201920 to 2020-21, reaching 1,848 this past winter.

While park rangers issued just one citation throughout the pilot program, their contacts with hikers increased more than fourfold.

One medical emergency transpired on the mountain at night—a sprained ankle.

With the report in hand, Hill said it’s now time for the City Council to determine next steps. The council could make the pilot program permanent, tweak it, or leave it behind.

If it’s continued in any way, city staff will have to prepare a new environmental document, per state law, and will ask the council to approve additional funding.

At least one council member is in ardent opposition. Jan Marx told New Times that the city report “confirms” her stance against night hiking. Marx said the program, which “only benefits a small number of people,” is costly and degrades the environment. A survey of trail users found that one-third encountered some form of wildlife on their hike, while one hiker reported seeing a mountain lion.

“In my opinion, the ‘pilot program’ should never have been allowed in the first place, let alone extended another year, without full environmental review,” Marx said. “The program is harmful environmentally and too expensive. It should be terminated.”

Some Cambria teachers want vaccine before schools reopen San Luis Obispo County moved back into the red tier of the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy on March 3, opening the door for in-person instruction to resume.

With that decision left up to local school districts, some teachers are pushing for vaccines first, school openings second.

Coast Unified School District, with campuses in Cambria and Cayucos, is slated to hold a public hearing on March 11 to decide whether its schools will continue distance learning, reopen campuses, or create a mix of the two for the remainder of the 2020-21 school year.

Ahead of the hearing, 12 Cambria teachers from Santa Lucia Middle School and Coast Union High School submitted a letter to the board citing concerns about reopening campuses before teachers are vaccinated.

“We do not feel comfortable with our school reopening until we are all fully vaccinated and have waited the appropriate amount of time after the last vaccine shot for it to be fully effective. We are concerned about how easily this horrible virus can spread,” the letter stated.

“Even just one teacher, student, or family member getting this virus is one too many.”

The letter went on to say that although COVID-19 positive testing rates are decreasing, the teachers feel that relaxing the district’s current efforts “could clearly lead to these numbers moving in the opposite direction, quickly, especially with the news of more contagious variants spreading.”

“If we don’t feel safe in our work environment, it is impossible to be the teachers we want to be. While distance learning is not ideal, it is safe, and safety comes first. We care so deeply about our students and their learning, and want nothing more than to get back to ‘normal’ but feel that this is not the right time with no teacher being fully vaccinated,” the letter read.

Coast Unified is proposing that Santa Lucia Middle School and Coast Union High School operate from 8:10 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. and 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., respectively, with teachers and students who have the option to participate in the classroom or remotely. Students in classrooms with remote teaching instruction would be supervised by school staff.

For the Cambria Grammar School, the district proposes it would run from 8:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. The school would have students in classrooms receiving direct in-person instruction with separated recess spaces for all grade levels to reduce contact between student groups.

The district could also opt to continue with its distance learning program—two 30-minute online class sessions per day with assigned independent work, totaling a four-hour instruction day.

Coast Unified School District Assistant Superintendent Kyle Martin told New Times that throughout the 2020-21 school year, the district received occasional

by Jayson Mellom

letters from parents stating their support for or opposition to distance learning.

With the county’s recent return to the red tier, Martin said, there has been a lot more comment from the community on the district’s next steps for the last two months of the school year.

“It’s coming from, again, both sides.

I think primarily parents expressing their concerns for distance learning and wanting to have a change where students can be back in person and I think more, but not all, of the teachers have taken a position of not being ready as far as vaccinations go,” he said.

Martin said the board is also taking into consideration opinions from its Cayucos campus, which is more supportive of reopening classrooms.

“It’s very difficult because one of the realizations I’ve come to is nobody’s wrong with their opinions,” he said. “There’s not one single answer that addresses everyone’s needs or everyone’s viewpoint.”

The other challenge to consider is the size of the district. For example, Martin said, the foreign language, sixth-grade language, and social studies departments are staffed by one person.

“We don’t have a bigger staff that we can divide people up and say, ‘OK, you can handle the in-person instruction and you can handle online.’ It’s the same person,” he said.

SLO city fines another fitness business as Kennedy gym loses appeal

Despite improved COVID-19 conditions and a recent move into the red tier, the city of San Luis Obispo and local businesses continue to grapple with the fallout of the city’s enforcement of state pandemic rules—where $26,000 in citations have been levied against six companies.

The most heavily cited of the six, Kennedy Club Fitness, lost its appeal on March 4 of two citations totaling $7,000 (it faces $12,000 in fines). The gym has been cited six times between September 2020 and February 2021 for allowing indoor exercise while the county was in the state’s purple tier, when that activity was prohibited.

Each alleged violation is $1,000 under the city’s COVID-19 emergency resolution. Kennedy could file a lawsuit to challenge the decision in court. The gym’s managing partner, Brett Weaver, and his attorney, Jordan Cunningham, did not share with New Times whether they would do so before press time.

In December 2020, Weaver launched a GoFundMe page, “Help Kennedy Clubs Keep Our Community Healthy,” which at NEWS continued page 7

press time had raised more than $17,500.

“We are now facing government imposed fines and legal fees for providing health and fitness to our community,” the page reads.

Kennedy isn’t the only local gym to be cited by the city during the pandemic.

In August 2020, Club 24 was the first business in the city to get fined. The latest is the SLO Yoga Center, which was cited $3,000 in January and February for holding indoor classes.

“We were closed for over nine of the past 12 months, but as a matter of business survival, we held limited indoor classes for a few weeks while we were in the purple tier, which resulted in multiple fines by the city,” SLO Yoga Center owner Stephanie Stackhouse told New Times.

Stackhouse said that the fitness industry has been “one of the hardest hit in the country” during COVID-19, and added that with “strict protocols” like mask wearing and good ventilation, indoor classes can be held safely. She said yoga classes “pose a much lower risk of COVID spread than many of the types of businessees that were allowed to operate in the purple tier.”

“It’s been difficult and confusing,” Stackhouse said. “We are aware of many businesses that continued to quietly operate consistently over the past year, yet were never fined by the city.”

SLO Yoga Center is appealing one of its citations, which Stackhouse said was issued “at a time when we were not holding classes.”

City officials emphasized that they first focus on education and outreach to businesses before levvying fines.

The remaining city businesses cited for COVID-19 violations are all restaurants: Sally Loo’s Wholesome Café, Louisa’s Place, and Flour House.

More COVID-19 relief coming to Arroyo Grande businesses Arroyo Grande is funneling tens of thousands of dollars into new and existing programs aimed at offering support to those most impacted by COVID-19, including another round of

grants for struggling local businesses.

At a meeting on March 9, Arroyo Grande City Council unanimously voted to direct $120,000 toward the city’s Business Assistance Grant Program, which was first launched in the fall of 2020 using Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding.

Through the initial program, Arroyo Grande awarded grants ranging from around $1,000 to $5,000 to 18 businesses in need.

“We’ve done this before with much success, and I think it really is helpful to businesses,” Councilmember Kristen Barneich said at the March 9 meeting.

“And it just kind of gets straight to the meat of the matter.”

This time around, Arroyo Grande is using funds provided to the city through Senate Bill 1090, a law that provided San Luis Obispo County localities with millions of dollars to mitigate the economic impacts of the upcoming Diablo Canyon Power Plant closure. Recipients of this round of grants will be able to use the funding for rent, payroll, cleaning, personal protective equipment, and any other operational changes needed to survive the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

Arroyo Grande is also directing several thousand dollars to scholarships for local businesses and residents in need of workforce training. Job losses amid COVID-19 and the Diablo Canyon Power Plant closure have created a need for new skill building and training opportunities locally, according to an Arroyo Grande staff report. The scholarship program would help residents and businesses most impacted attend training courses through SLO Partners, a nonprofit that offers career-building services.

City Council members also voted to launch the COVID Safety Superstar Program, which aims to celebrate businesses that have worked particularly hard to adhere to COVID-19 safety protocols and will come at no significant cost to the city.

“Dang that feels good, doesn’t it?”

Arroyo Grande Mayor Caren Ray Russom said after the relief programs were approved on March 9. “We get to be Santa Claus twice!” ∆ —Kasey Bubnash

Vaccine shuffle SLO County Public Health prepares for transition to MyTurn and Blue Shield COVID-19 vaccination systems

A

fter a frenzied few months of setting up new clinics, creating appointment systems, and working with an inadequate vaccine supply, San Luis Obispo County Public Health finally appears to be hitting its stride with COVID-19 vaccinations.

On March 3, SLO County Public Health Officer Penny Borenstein shared that the county had the supply to administer 13,000 vaccine shots for the week of March 8—a record that inches it closer to its ultimate target of 15,000 weekly shots.

That same day, Borenstein reminded locals about the county’s new vaccine lottery system. Striving for more ease and equity, each week, the lottery randomly selects which residents will receive the following week’s vaccinations from a broader pool of eligible registrants. It retires the county’s first-come, first-serve system that brought a flood of traffic to its website each week as people vied for appointments.

But as Borenstein highlighted these positive developments on March 3, she also delivered a clear warning about future uncertainty.

“There is a caveat,” she said. “We should not yet believe that this is our new normal. ... We do not have it in our sights to necessarily maintain that level of vaccination.”

As Borenstein and SLO County settle into a vaccine groove, a major shakeup in the California vaccination system lies ahead. Over the next month or two, SLO County will join other counties in a sweeping, mandatory transition to Blue Shield of California as the state’s new contracted vaccine distributer and to a centralized vaccine appointment web portal, MyTurn.

Both changes are promised by state leaders to enhance and accelerate California’s vaccination campaign by streamlining processes, platforms, and data. But so far, the overhaul has faced criticism from stakeholders across the state—as counties that have worked hard to develop their own systems to

vaccinate their residents begin to make the transition.

Flaws and glitches in the MyTurn website portal and confusion and distrust around Blue Shield’s management of vaccine allocations have triggered a “bipartisan chorus of concern” among county health officials, according to recent reporting in the Los Angeles Times and CapRadio. Some counties, including Ventura and Santa Clara, are asking the state for an opt-out option.

“All we really need from the state is more vaccine,” Santa Clara County Executive Jeffrey Smith told the LA Times. “We don’t need a new and inferior delivery system.”

In SLO County, the changes are coming but are not here just yet as the state rolls them out in phases. SLO County Public Health Department spokesperson Michelle Shoresman told New Times that the county expects the required transition to MyTurn to occur sometime in April, adding that officials are “still learning more about what features will be required.”

Complaints about MyTurn range from the site crashing, to it providing inaccurate information about vaccine appointments, to it allowing wealthy Los Angeles residents to steal vaccine access codes meant for disadvantaged communities.

Shoresman said that as “with the implementation of any new system, there are bound to be benefits and challenges” with MyTurn.

“We don’t yet fully understand what those will be,” she said. “We will continue to learn more as we get closer to ‘go live’ with MyTurn and will do everything

should go. That handoff is expected to happen statewide by the end of March.

SLO County hopes that the change will not impact the flow of vaccines coming to its three vaccine clinics at the Paso Robles fairgrounds, Cuesta College, and Arroyo Grande Community Center.

“We are not yet clear on how the Blue Shield agreement will impact our own vaccine clinic efforts, or others, but we hope that it will improve availability of vaccine for all,” Shoresman said.

One question about the Blue Shield arrangement is whether it might lead to more local health care providers offering the COVID-19 vaccine.

Currently, other than the Public Health CHANGE-UP As SLO County rolls out a new lottery system clinics, only a handful to schedule COVID-19 vaccinations, it’s also preparing to of local pharmacies are transition to the state’s flawed and glitchy MyTurn portal. administering vaccines in SLO County. we can to make this transition, when it French Hospital Medical center in happens, as smooth as possible for our SLO had a short-lived vaccination drive residents.” in January and February but paused it SLO County expects that the MyTurn indefinitely to “focus on patient care,” transition will disrupt elements of its according to a Dignity Health Central current vaccination process, like the Coast spokesperson. newly introduced lottery system.

Inoculation pilot SLO and Santa Barbara Counties work through barriers to provide COVID-19 vaccine to farmworkers

E

rica Ruvalcaba-Heredia, director of the Promotores Collaborative of San Luis Obispo, got emotional over the phone when she talked to New Times about the work the SLO County Vaccine Task Force and Public Health Department are doing to vaccinate the farmworker community.

As a daughter of immigrants herself, Ruvalcaba-Heredia said many farmworkers and Latinos feel that the greater community is finally valuing them and their work.

In late February, the vaccine task force approved a plan drafted by the SLO County Farm Bureau to begin vaccinating farmworkers in mid-March—the date is dependent on vaccine availability—at the South County Regional Center in Arroyo Grande. Fieldworkers who are set to have their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine this month, she said, are happy, thankful, and excited.

“It’s important to mention that they feel like, ‘OK my work as an essential worker matters and the people at [the Department of Public Health] care about me,” Ruvalcaba-Heredia said.

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Latino residents accounted for a majority of SLO County’s confirmed COVID-19 cases. Although initially Latinos were disproportionately impacted by the virus, over time the percentage of cases has evened out to match SLO County’s demographic makeup. As of March 8, Latino residents—who are 22 percent of the population—made up 33 percent of SLO County’s total positive cases since March 2020.

Ruvalcaba-Heredia represents these communities on the SLO County Vaccine Task Force and recently shared that some community members have doubts about the inoculations.

“They say they heard from a neighbor or a friend that if they get the vaccine and they don’t have any symptoms like a head cold then the vaccine didn’t work and they’ll get the coronavirus or some other illness,” she said.

POKRAJAC

AUTOMOTIVE

Other rumors include that if you get the vaccine you’ll die or if you get it you’ll become sterile. Ruvalcaba-Heredia compares it to the telephone game: One person says something to another, and that person passes it on to someone else, and all the while the message becomes more and more distorted.

Promotores tries to eliminate misinformation by getting its information directly from the Public Health Department, translating it, and dispersing it to the community.

She said that having someone who’s not only bilingual but is a member of the community, has a family or friend working in the fields, and understands the challenges the Latino community faces makes it easier for individuals to reach out to them for assistance or information.

“It makes a difference because they understand and have empathy for their community,” Ruvalcaba-Heredia said.

Brent Burchett, executive director for the SLO County Farm Bureau, said that compassionate multilingual outreach was a goal of the SLO County Farmworker Task Force that formed in November 2020.

As a member of the task force, Burchett’s first course of action was educating and helping farmers with regulations and coronavirus testing to ensure the safety of their workers.

When the vaccine first became available, Burchett also joined the vaccine task force, where he learned that SLO County decided to follow an age-based tier to vaccinate county residents.

“The doctors on the [task force] had a good point. While occupation may be a great indicator of COVID exposure,

whether you’re a teacher, police officer, or farmworker, the greatest predictor of mortality in a serious health implication from COVID is age,” he said.

When the task force debated how to determine which industries to vaccinate, Burchett said the team realized there are and would be many barriers to vaccinating farmworkers.

The California Department of Public Health placed agricultural workers in phase 1B, so the task force began trying to figure out how to reach the farmworker community. Burchett said the plan for the pilot vaccination program, a date is yet to be set, will get modified after the first clinic is done. But for now, the task force has the names and contact information of farm labor contractors and large-scale farmers. Each employer will submit a list of interested employees’ names, date of birth, and another identifier (the task force and county are still working together to decide on a third category).

The Farm Bureau doesn’t want a driver’s license or a Social Security number as identifiers because it might dissuade individuals from getting the vaccine on account of their legal status.

“That’s a barrier. We want to make this as easy as possible and for the farmworkers to feel comfortable coming in,” Burchett said.

SLO County Public Health spokesperson Michelle Shoresman said that the county is still working out the details of how to verify employment and residency with the Farm Bureau and employers “for this high-risk group, but we are committed to making the process as non-intimidating as possible.”

When a worker arrives for the appointment, he or she will need to fill out a health screening document, and multilingual staff will be available to help. In an effort to get their workers vaccinated, Burchett said he hopes employers will offer paid sick leave or half the day off to allow employees to participate in the program.

Currently, the county can’t provide mobile vaccination clinics on-site because

of the vaccine’s storage needs.

According to a recent survey conducted by the Farm Bureau, 180 agriculture farmers and farm labor contractors in the county employ a collective 6,000 agriculture workers who need the vaccine.

The survey also takes into account seasonal farmworkers. For instance, about 1,800 workers included in the survey are coming to the Central Coast from Arizona. Burchett said the numbers are estimated and the workers included could overlap with those who live in Santa Barbara County and work in SLO County.

“The rule is you can either work or live in SLO County. Either one of those is acceptable [for vaccine eligibility in SLO County],” he said.

Shoresman said the county doesn’t know how Blue Shield’s efforts will impact its pilot program yet.

SLO County is slightly behind other California counties that have already carried out pilot programs to vaccinate their farmworker populations. Santa Clara, Fresno, Santa Cruz, Imperial, Tulare, Riverside, San Joaquin, and Santa Barbara counties vaccinated their field workers in mid-February.

The first Farm Worker Friday in SLO County is slated to vaccinate approximately 500 to 600 workers, similar to Santa Barbara County’s pilot program that took place on Feb. 28 at the Santa Maria Health Care Center.

Santa Barbara County’s first trilingual, tri-cultural vaccine clinic successfully vaccinated nearly 500 workers with the help of 30 on-site bilingual staff members.

Although the program was a success, Mixteco Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP) policy and communications associate Vanessa Terán said MICOP and partnering organizations identified several ways in which the program could improve, such as on-site registration. Many participants don’t have access to a computer, a cellphone number, or an email account to register for a vaccine with. Terán said digital literacy can be another barrier to registration.

“It’s a big learning experience for us as a community, as a society, to see who we prioritize in these moments so that others don’t feel left out. It’s important to say your turn will come,” Terán said. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

BORN 1945, VENTURA, CA • DECEASED FEBRUARY 10, 2021

David Reginald Booker D

avid Reginald (Reggie) Booker, age 75, passed away on February 10, 2021.

Dave was born in Ventura, California to George and Beverley Wolfe Booker. He attended elementary schools in Gonzales, Morro Bay and Atascadero. He graduated from Atascadero High School in 1963 where he made lifelong friendships. He played varsity sports and was a letterman in High School.

When he no longer played sports, he cheered from the sidelines. He particularly loved cheering on the teams at his grandkid’s and Mission College Preparatory Catholic High School sporting events, you couldn’t miss him at a game.

In 1967, while attending California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, he married Linda Willey. He graduated from Cal Poly in 1968 with a Bachelor of Science degree with a concentration in Accounting (cum laude). He then moved to the Los Angeles area where he worked as an accountant until he obtained his license as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Dave and Linda moved back to San Luis Obispo in 1971 and he joined the accounting firm Glenn and Burdette, which he soon became managing partner of. When Dave and Linda started their family, they moved back to Atascadero. He was very active in the Atascadero community and was member of (1975-1979) and Chairman of (1979) the Atascadero Unified School District Board of Education.

In 1981, Dave, Linda, and their three children moved back to San Luis Obispo where they built their first home and added another child to the family. This marriage ended in 1997. In 2000, he married Jennifer Blomfield and lovingly helped raise her three daughters for 17 years. He was a proud father and worked hard to provide for his family.

Dave was a founding director and served on the Board of Directors for First Bank of San Luis Obispo throughout the bank’s 25-year history.

In 1988, he sold his interest in the accounting firm Glenn, Burdette, Phillips, and Booker and became a full-time Banker. Dave held many different banking positions, including Chief Executive Officer of First Bank and Senior Vice President when the bank merger with Pacific Capital Bank was complete in 2005. Following his retirement, he decided he wasn’t quite ready to retire and organized a new Board of Directors to form American Principle Bank in San Luis Obispo.

His life is filled with notable merit and civic leadership. He even ran for Mayor of San Luis Obispo in 2004. Over the years,

Dave contributed to the community through Kiwanis De Tolosa, the CPA Society, and Rotary Club. He also served on many community boards including the Housing Authority of the City of San Luis Obispo, San Luis Obispo County Community Foundation, Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center, Orfalea School of Business at Cal Poly, and Cuesta College Foundation.

After retiring from banking, he enjoyed time with his family and friends, biking, attending sporting events, and spreading his laughter and love of people wherever he went.

He loved spending time with his children and grandchildren and vacationing in Hawaii.

It is hard to capture the impact he had on his family, friends, and the community. He knew no strangers and always had a smile, joke and a laugh to share with those around him.

He filled up a room with his laughter and wherever he went it seemed like everyone knew Dave Booker. He had a passion for business and was always willing to mentor and help those starting out in business. He will truly be missed by so many people.

Dave is survived by many that loved him: his former wife, Linda Booker and their children Beau (Danielle) Booker, Amber Sellinger, Benjamin (Cathrina) Booker; grandchildren Lila and Levi Sellinger, and Alexa and Abigail Booker; brothers Eric (Rayleen) Booker and Kurt Booker; his second wife, Jennifer Blomfield and step-daughters, Bailey, Bridget, and Nellie Salisbury; stepgrandson Dylan Metcalf; and his life partner for the past 4 years, Marilyn Hotz. He is predeceased by his son, Tyler Booker and parents, George and Beverley Booker.

When it is safe to do so, a gathering will be held to honor and celebrate his remarkable life. In lieu of flowers, please donate in his name to a charity of your choice.

Commentary

BY RICHARD UHLS

Good trouble I am committed to doing the work to dismantle racism

O

n Feb. 23, a portion of an email I wrote to then San Luis Obispo Police Department Chief Deanna Cantrell was quoted in The Tribune.

This was part of a story regarding the community’s reaction to the arrest of Tianna Arata and Elias Bautista following a protest on July 21, 2020.

While the quote is accurate, it does not tell the whole story. The quote has led to some social media posts that have given an inaccurate portrayal of me and of my leadership of the San Luis Obispo United Methodist Church, which I serve. It is important to me to put this quote into context so as to more clearly reflect my beliefs, values, and teachings.

I participated in one of the peaceful protests in which Tianna Arata was one of the leaders. I marched through downtown San Luis Obispo with many others who followed the directions of Tianna Arata in what was being chanted, and in pausing to kneel in silence for eight minutes and 42 seconds, marking the time it took for George Floyd to be killed at the hands of police. It was a powerful and emotional experience. It was also a time of witnessing the strong leadership skills of Tianna Arata in the movement for racial equality, of Black Lives Matter, and an end to police brutality.

I have never advocated that Tianna Arata should go to jail or prison for her actions on July 21. I do not believe sentencing her to jail would serve any useful purpose. I do, however, believe she should be held accountable for her actions along with anyone else who broke the law while engaging in the protest. I believe a just resolution to the charges against Tianna Arata could be worked out through a process of restorative justice.

The means for doing so are already in place in our community.

Civil disobedience and protests have a long and important history in our country, a history without which we would never have made any progress at all in the quest for civil rights, and the still unrealized dream that persons of color be treated with the same respect and opportunities that we who are of a privileged class take for granted. The history of civil disobedience and protests in our country is filled with activists and leaders who have been willing to get into “good trouble.” They have done so by speaking truth to power and engaging in acts of protest and civil disobedience when necessary. Many have done so willing to accept the consequences of their actions.

I am committed to the holy work of dismantling racism and of repairing the historic and ongoing damage caused

to persons of color in which the church has all too often been complicit. The United Methodist Church, along with many other faith communities, is doing the hard work of pressing on toward the goal where racism is an ugly part of our collective history and no longer an acceptable part of our current reality. I am committed to this work in my own life, in the church I am blessed to pastor, and in the community in which I live. This essential work is frequently addressed in our worship services and in my messages, all of which are available online. I admit I have my own blind spots on the journey to be anti-racist and am committed to growing and learning along the way.

I have not had the opportunity to meet Tianna Arata. I would welcome the opportunity to do so and to have a dialogue about the important work that needs to be done by all of us.

Letters Affordable access to the dunes

On March 18, the California Coastal Commission will consider State Parks’ plan for the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA). The plan includes maintenance improvements but also new development at the Oso Flaco Nature Reserve, including 320 campsites, 270 parking places, convenience facilities, residences for staff, and a new off-highway vehicle trail to the Oceano Dunes SVRA. The League of Women Voters of San Luis Obispo County opposes this plan. We are committed to preserving the shoreline, conserving agricultural lands, and protecting open space. The plan as currently envisioned is a serious departure from the existing situation and not appropriate for the area. A new major access trail to the dunes riding area from Oso Flaco Lake would inflict damage on a unique designated environmentally sensitive area. The current riding area has generated the need for habitat conservation plans and particulate matter reduction plans. It is inappropriate to introduce disruptive uses into additional sensitive areas thereby exacerbating the impacts to the environment, habitats, and human health.

We urge State Parks to reconsider the scale, location, and timing of any new development proposed for the Oceano Dunes SVRA and to recognize that public policy concerns and our knowledge of the impacts at the SVRA have changed since vehicular use was first introduced to the

dunes. We recognize the state directive to provide affordable access to the coast for the benefit of all residents, and we believe that there are other options that will provide a wide range of access while at the same time protecting the very resources to which affordable access is desired.

Harassment of elected officials must stop

What we allow is what will continue.

Are we willing to put an end to escalating harassment and intimidation of our elected officials, or will we sit on the sidelines?

Political violence is not a new phenomenon. Those seeking to serve in public office have always faced hostility.

Now, as a record number of women and other underrepresented groups have made inroads into elected office, the reactions have become heightened and dangerous.

The mix of the digital era, pandemic isolation, and growing partisanship provides a powder keg ready to explode.

With the growing number of women in office, the violence toward them is also rising. Violence against women in politics takes many forms, including death threats, rape threats, sexual harassment, misogyny, disparagement, and sexist and racist abuse. These tactics attempt to silence and force compliance. They aim to undermine our democracy by preventing true representation.

From north to south and coast to inland, SLO County has seen numerous egregious acts against women candidates and elected officials. A razor blade in a tire, an intruder at a city hall, a public commenter spewing misogynistic

accusations, a letter to the editor containing a veiled death threat, a social media poster slinging sexualized tropes.

These are moments of abhorrent action, and they have lasting effects.

Every generation is responsible for strengthening our democracy with equity, respect, and fairness. It is up to us to be the change we want to see. We can be passionate but respectful in our dissent.

We can be courageous but nonviolent in our disagreements. What we cannot do is accept that political violence comes with the territory. Instead, we must make this behavior unacceptable. When we do, we will be able to encourage true dialogue, welcome diverse ideas, make space for underrepresented people, and ultimately grow the number of participants in our democracy.

How can we make a difference?

Demonstrate respectful public discourse.

Be a constructive contributor in person and online. Call out abusive and inappropriate behavior. Support a candidate or elected official. Attend public comment, not just when you’re upset but also when you want to share a word of praise. And when your representatives share what is happening, make a public display of your solidarity. You might even consider joining politics yourself—apply for a board or commission or run for office. Above all else, engage. Don’t let the absence of your voice be your complicity.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY JOHN DONEGAN

Orthodoxy and vanity A new book by astronomer Avi Loeb considering the mysterious object from interstellar space that passed through the solar system in 2017, Extraterrestrial, may not have conclusively solved the many questions about this event, but the reaction of some of the scientific community to Dr. Loeb’s theories have revealed a lot about ourselves.

The object, dubbed ’Oumuamua, was about 400 meters long, cigar-shaped, moving at an unusually high speed, shinier than a typical space object, and came from the direction of Vega, a star about 25 light years away. Not only was the shape and reflection of the object unusual, but an anomaly in its trajectory was observed that was not readily explainable by conventional physics.

It appeared to deviate from the path calculated if the object was just being influenced by the sun’s gravitation alone.

These unusual characteristics resulted in speculation that the object was an artifact of an intelligent civilization.

Similar scenarios had been depicted in science fiction novels, including Arthur C. Clarke’s famous work, Rendezvous With Rama. Dr. Loeb’s book argues for that theory and has received a lot of derision from the scientific community, many of whom also ridicule the idea of extraterrestrial intelligence generally, and SETI (the search for extraterrestrial intelligence).

While his book certainly does not offer conclusive evidence of the intelligent origin of ’Oumuamua, nor does it purport to, it is an interesting theory at least deserving of consideration.

Just applying Occam’s Razor (the most probable explanation for something is that requiring the fewest assumptions), lends it weight. While the shine, shape, and speed might be natural, how can the physics-defying trajectory be explained without inventing new laws? If alien LETTERS from page 12

About ‘Wake up Atascadero’

About community choice energy aggregators: They are nothing more than a middleman for your electric power. The costs can increase and already have in some locations.

Unless there are transmission lines connected to distribution lines connected directly to your house, you receive the same combination of energy sources as I do in SLO County, which does not subscribe to the community choice energy aggregator. Renewables are not as useful as most believe. Think about it; when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow, the power is interrupted. When this occurs, sources of reliable power need to be available and increased. There is no way renewables could ever provide 100 percent of our power. It’s not the hope for the future. There is no way the aggregators can guarantee how much renewable energy you are receiving.

What isn’t generally known by the public is that only 15 to 20 percent of solar power is actually efficient. The remaining 80 to 85 percent rises and increases the

civilizations do in fact exist, our first physical encounter with one might well be in the form of an ancient artifact. This approach does not require postulating the existence of some faster-than-light “warp drive” or other fantastic technologies. It is a lot more serious than predicting that little green men in a saucer will demand an audience with our leaders (although I suppose that some of our political leadership might be best explained by malign extraterrestrial intervention).

The possibility of other intelligence can be supported by considering the vastness of the universe, and applying simple math. If intelligence can occur on Earth, it is likely to have also occurred elsewhere in the infinite reaches of the universe. The old “infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters … ” thing, and all that.

So why are some of the scientific community so hostile and dismissive, especially when many of them readily consider other theories without experimental proof, such as string theory, dark matter, and multiple universes?

Conservatism in science is not only desirable, but necessary. Theories need to be vigorously challenged, especially where acceptance demands an expensive and painful reaction, such as with anthropogenic (humancaused) climate change. As Carl Sagan observed, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” But the opposition to Loeb’s theories and extraterrestrial intelligence go beyond normal conservatism. What gives?

Well, as Galileo discovered, many people are emotionally resistant to having their place at the center of the universe questioned. His theory that the Earth did not occupy the center of the universe offended the notions of many as to their own primacy in the greater scheme of things. Any civilization with the ability to send an interstellar probe

heat in the atmosphere as infrared light.

There is no perfect solution. No source of energy has zero drawbacks.

CALISO, the California Independent System Operator, constantly monitors the demand and availability of power. The everchanging availability of wind and solar creates a challenge to fill the gap to avoid blackouts. California experienced occasional blackouts in 2020 due to a lack of instant availability of replaceable power. No wind, no sun, no power. To fill the gap created by the loss of the intermittent power, a source or sources of sustainable power needs to be available to take over. It’s a huge challenge for CALISO to juggle the power sources to keep the grid steady and able to deliver the ever-changing demand for electricity.

At the onset of community choice aggregators, each City Council was given the authority to choose yes or no. The residents were not given a choice, except in the very beginning to reject. If anyone wants to opt out after a certain amount of time, they are finding it very difficult, which includes a sizable fee. Atascadero realized all the downsides in the beginning.

Do the math. If wind and solar are only intermittent, it can’t possibly be expected to provide more than what is available,

is necessarily more technologically advanced than we are.

This leaves humanity, at best, playing the role of sidekick Ed McMahon to the alien Johnny Carson. Or, less appealingly, treated as entertaining “pets,” with our race’s greatest achievements reduced to mere amusing tricks like “sit” or “roll over.” We might be viewed dryly as just another sample to be catalogued, just as we view, say, a new species of lichen.

Still worse, we might be viewed as just a “snack” to be noshed upon while en route to an important destination.

Our egos resist any scenario that challenges our importance. Thus, our emotions drive many to just pretend that other intelligent life can’t possibly exist. But the ostrich approach is hardly objective and scientific.

This unwillingness to contemplate the possibility of anything greater than ourselves manifests itself in atheism as well. Those who confidently purport to absolutely “know” that God definitely does not exist, because they have seen no proof, disregard the logical difficulty in proving a negative. By their logic, radio waves, viruses, etc., did not “exist” 200 years ago, as we were then unable to detect or prove them. The current inability to detect is not proof of anything. For those dedicated to logic and science, instead of their own emotional needs, agnosticism and leaving the question open makes the most sense.

As with all professions, science is subject to the vanity and insecurities of its practitioners, and orthodoxy can be a comfortable refuge for those unwilling to face uncomfortable possibilities.

The Shredder

Yeehaw! Cowboy up!

S

ome people really take their offroading seriously. I’ve been on one of those three-wheeled ATVs down at the Oceano Dunes once. It was fun for about 30 minutes, but I haven’t felt the need to do it again. However, I guess for some people the smell of gasoline, sand in their eyes and noses, and the liberating freedom of jumping a sweet sand dune into a snowy plover nest is a siren’s call.

Some folks are going apoplectic about the possibility that the Oceano Dunes may be permanently closed to off-roading

by Jan. 1, 2026, if the California Coastal Commission votes to approve staff recommendations outlined in a Feb. 18 report.

You know who’s not standing for it? The Pismo Beach Chamber of Commerce, which is holding a “PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION opposing the California Coastal Commission 5 year plan to remove OHV from Oceano Dunes!” screamed their press release.

Scheduled for Sunday, March 14, at 2 p.m. “on the sand just off the Grand Avenue entrance to the park,” the demonstration will include pro-offroad speakers followed by a “Hands Across Oceano Dunes,” right before sunset. Hopefully this human chain of motorheads won’t be broken by a speeding Jeep Cherokee with oversized wheels! You know how hard it is to see at dusk!

Oh, wait. I see in the fine print, “attendees will position themselves like they

are holding hands.” Whew, close one. Actual hand-holding seems kind of COVIDy. Also, in a blow to freedom, they’re also saying, “Everyone will be required to wear a mask and bring their own gloves,” but “Access for all masks and flags will be available while supplies last.” Huh? “A chamber of commerce proudly stands up for the businesses in their community, especially when it can cause closure and major revenue losses, which leads to unemployment and a reduction in tourism,” Chamber Chairperson Valerie Mercado said. “The Pismo Chamber therefore is standing together with the business community, local residents, and families that have enjoyed the dunes for generations. These people are our friends, members, neighbors, and customers.”

Wow, I can picture a waving American flag when Valerie speaks. Maybe that’s why the Chamber press release said, “American flags and Save our Dune flags are strongly encouraged.”

There will also be “Education stations and coloring books will be provided for the kids.”

“Mommy, I ran out of sand-colored crayon again! Wahhh!”

I get that chambers of commerce get involved in politics, but I can’t recall a chamber ever organizing a protest.

Hey, Valerie, if you feel that strongly about off-roading, how about lobbying to open Pismo Beach to off-roaders? Or do you

not want dust kicked up and wafting through town into people’s clam chowder bowls?

Speaking of freedom, gotta hand it to Kennedy Club Fitness. All that cardio is paying off in their fight to avoid paying $7,000 in SLO city fines for ignoring state health and safety guidelines. Kennedy lost its appeal of the fines and could take their fight to superior court if the city doesn’t back down, and they’ve hired State Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham’s law firm to represent them.

The city’s fines are based on state mandates, but according to Kennedy owners, their string of four gyms are essential businesses no matter what the state says. And instead of endangering their members with indoor exercise, they’re building up their immune systems!

Hell yeah! This should get interesting!

In the meantime, Kennedy started a GoFundMe campaign that had raised $17,640 of a $30,000 goal as of March 10.

Um, is this about the city fines, which donations have already paid for twice, or is this about principles? And if it’s about principles, wouldn’t the principled thing have been to follow state health and safety mandates? Or are you guys just on ’roids and super angry?

And finally, in the Not In My Backyard department, meet Ashley Smith, a Morro Bay mother who’s appealing her

city’s permitting of a proposed addiction and rehabilitation detox facility going into what was formerly a Rodeway Inn. Called Morro Bay Recovery Inc., the facility would use the 27-room motel to help those with addictions to drugs and alcohol.

Of course, as well all know, anyone with a drug or alcohol addiction is a total reprobate undeserving of help, especially when that help is located near Ashley Smith’s home.

Smith is naturally worried about safety issues since people seeking help from their addictions are all scumbag criminals.

Smith wonders if the facility will be completely fenced and patrolled by guards.

Why stop there, Karen … er, I mean Ashley.

How about concertina wire, machine-gun turrets, and a ball and chain on every prisoner’s … er, I mean patient’s ankle?

Sure, it will be state licensed and regulated, and like most such facilities, I can’t imagine it will be inexpensive to be admitted, and it will be fully staffed by people overseeing the recoverees who will need staff or physician permission to leave the facility, but “Danger, Will Robinson, danger!”

It’s hard enough to seek help considering how our society stigmatizes addiction. Do we really need to make a stink because a new and desperately needed recovery facility is opening up?

Maybe if Ms. Smith knew someone in need of recovery she’d be more open to being part of the solution instead of the problem. ∆ The Shredder needs a drink. Send drink chips to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

On Rediscover, Dulcie Taylor reworks some of her earlier and most popular songs

D

ulcie Taylor was just 10 when her mother gave her a guitar for Christmas, leading to a lifelong journey of singing and songwriting. The award-winning performer has been a MesaBluemoon Records recording artist since 2002 with the release of Diamond & Glass, which quickly became a favorite of Triple A radio. Her follow up, Mirrors and Windows, was included on Soundstage’s Best Recordings of the Year along with artists such as Brian Wilson and Wilco.

Though she continues to record stunning new material, like 2018’s Better Part of Me, in the last year or so she’s begun to look back at some of these earlier songs on two EPs. “We’re calling this new record Rediscovered, and similar to my previous release Reimagined, this six-song EP is another collection of some of my earlier songs that we have remixed and remastered,” Taylor explained. “We even rerecorded some too, all in an effort to incorporate new ideas into these older tracks, and take them in a direction we didn’t get to the first time around. This process has been akin to time travel— when we’d bring up a track, some of them nearly 20 years old, it put me right back in the studio where the song was cut with the musicians who played on it, and that was a really special feeling. I have so loved going through this process of revisiting and reworking my material for this new release, and I hope all that love shines through in the new versions of these songs.”

MORE FROM THE VAULT Singersongwriter Dulcie Taylor releases Rediscovered, a new EP featuring six of her early hits, on March 12.

Both the previously released Reimagined and the soon-to-be-released Rediscovered are filled with magical tracks featuring Taylor’s deeply affecting vocals and right-to-the heart lyrics.

After November auditions for student soloists, the winners were computer engineering major Kiran Manikonda on clarinet and Grant Smith, a double major in civil engineering and music, on piano.

Manikonda will play Gioachino Rossini’s “Introduction, Theme and Variations,” and Smith will perform the first movement from Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor. The winds and brass of the orchestra will also play some selections.

Practice for the show has been a mix of in-person string practice inside and inperson brass and wind practice outdoors, as well as other players joining in remotely from home. Music professor and conductor David Arrivée, the soloists, and other students will engage in a Q-and-A after the performance. Tickets are $5. Call (805) 756-4849 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Get inside Jim White on The Rock

Southern singer-songwriter Jim White is a national treasure. He was raised on gospel music in Pensacola, Florida. He’s best known as the man behind albums such as Wrong-Eyed Jesus (The Mysterious Tale of How I Shouted) (1997), Drill a Hole in That Substrate and Tell Me What You See (2004), Transnormal Skiperoo (2007), and most recently Misfit’s Jubilee (2020).

Rock DJ Jacob Campbell conducted an in-depth three-hour interview with White just days ago that will be exclusively broadcast on local community radio The Rock, 97.3/107.9 FM, KEBF-KZSR on Tuesday, March 16, from 7 to 10 p.m.

“Jim has no problem at all reeling off the most amazing stories you can imagine,” Campbell said.

White was also the narrator and de facto tour guide for the award-winning BBC documentary Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus, a road movie set in the rural South that the LA Times described as “decidedly strange, delightfully demented.”

During his interview on The Rock, “White reveals that prior to becoming a musician, he led an aimless, diverse life working countless menial jobs: dishwasher, cook, lifeguard, surfboard laminator, culminating with 13 years driving a cab in New York City,” Campbell added. “White was a pro surfer, has been a literary commentator for the National Endowment of the Arts, and was a European fashion model. Samuel Beckett once played a practical joke on him—all revealed during this exclusive interview.”

Artifacts The power of pictures

Cambria Center for the Arts holds photography competition

On Saturday, March 20, the Cambria Center for the Arts will accept entries into a special, one-day photography contest. This competition will only accept photographs taken on its start day (each entry must include an invisible timestamp in the metadata) and must be submitted no later than Thursday, March 25. Themed as “A Day in the Life of Cambria,” participants are encouraged to submit photos that capture the “essence” of Cambria, according to press materials.

“Some photographers might capture the grin of a child sampling olallieberry ice cream for the first time, or the alert eyes of a young goat cavorting in a pasture, or a pelican resting on San Simeon Pier,” reads a statement from the Cambria Center for the Arts. “Some may choose the lights and shadows of Old Santa Rosa Chapel’s nave, and others the peculiarities of a moonstone.”

Another rule of the contest is each photo must have been taken in or nearby Cambria (northern boundary is the Piedra Blancas Lighthouse, southern boundary is Harmony Headlands, and eastern boundary is the Santa Rosa Creek intersection with Highway 46). Each participant can submit up to four different photos. No alterations (including Photoshop edits) are allowed.

For more rules, guidelines, and submission details, visit cambriaarts. org/march20 or email president@ cambriacenterforthearts.org. The Cambria Center for the Arts is located at 1350 Main St., Cambria.

Richard Fusillo’s new photography exhibit captures local BLM protests

DANCING IN THE STREET You can virtually tour Richard Fusillo’s new photography exhibition, We All Bleed, on the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art’s webpage, where you can also hear the voices of those involved.

O

n May 25, 2020, George Floyd died in police custody after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes as he lost consciousness. Floyd had been arrested for allegedly using a counterfeit $20 to purchase cigarettes. His death was another in a long list of officer-involved deaths of Black men, and it ignited the long-simmering Black Lives Matter movement that traces its inception to the 2013 acquittal of neighborhood vigilante George Zimmerman for the shooting death of 17-yearold Black boy Trayvon Martin.

“Following the murder of George Floyd last May, a dozen activists showed up on the corner of Marsh and Broad a few days later holding signs and chanting ‘No Justice, No Peace,’” recalled photographer Richard Fusillo.

“This was the first protest for the local BLM movement and also the first time I documented it. Almost a week later, the same dozen turned into over 3,000 individuals standing in front of the San Luis Obispo We All Bleed Courthouse, Photographs by Richard Fusillo, spilling out into as well as local activists’ voice the streets. The recordings and a collage of protest days in between signs, are currently on display at were when I the San Luis Obispo Museum of decided I wanted Art in the We All Bleed exhibit, which can be toured virtually on to be involved sloma.org. The exhibition will be more; more than up through Sunday, May 2, and a Black square, was created in collaboration with more than just a R.A.C.E. Matters SLO. single donation.

A SLO Motion Film event on Saturday, April 24, features “I figured one SNCC, a documentary about the of the best ways Student Nonviolent Coordinating to be in solidarity Committee. Tickets are available was to honestly at slomotitonfilm.com. document the scenes unfolding in front of me in hopes to uplift voices of the BIPOC community here, and to capture history in the making,” he said. “I’m thankful for every individual I encountered, listened to, watched, and am truly inspired by the local activists here.”

Images Fusillo captured, as well as activists’ voice recordings and a collage of protest signs, are currently on display at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art and can be toured virtually on the SLOMA website, sloma.org. The exhibition will be up through Sunday, May 2, and was created in collaboration with R.A.C.E. Matters SLO. There’s also a film event with SLO Motion Film on Saturday, April 24, screening SNCC, a documentary about the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

“It was a pleasure to work alongside Richard Fusillo and SLOMA,” said R.A.C.E. Matters SLO co-founder Courtney Haile. “We joined this collaboration because I knew that in addition to being a talented artist, Richard is a trusted friend to many activists in his images—along with being an activist himself.

We gave input and feedback during the

24 • New Times • March 11 - March 18, 2021 • www.newtimesslo.com

planning process, and I am super excited for the April 24 screening of SNCC in collaboration with SLO Motion Films.”

Was Fusillo surprised by the scope of the local protests?

“At first yes, but then after attending and photographing all the individuals involved, I knew it would just keep growing,” he said.

“That’s the power of community. SLO and its community needed to experience a larger scope.

The local protests were sort of an awakening for many.”

The protests were, and continue to be, very divisive, especially when protesters marched onto Highway 101, closing it to traffic—twice— in July of last year, which also resulted in arrests of local activists, most notably Tianna Arata. What does Fusillo say to critics of tactics like shutting down Highway 101?

“This can be a difficult question, but I will start off by saying I was there,” he said.

“The answer to me is simple: It got attention.

When protestors gather on busy streets, stop at intersections, and shut down highways or freeways, it is to cause disruption and discomfort.

“Marching and stopping on Highway 101 is dangerous, and we must remember that most protesters don’t wake up one day and say let’s hop on 101 just to piss people off. No, they are marching on that street to not only let out frustration but also bring their discomforts to us,” he continued. “If being stopped on the highway frustrates you, I’m sorry to say, but good, ... that was the point.”

One Highway 101 closure ended when the protesters faced off against SLOPD in front of the Walnut Street police station, where officers eventually fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd. Much has been made about police actions and police descriptions of the protests. Does Fusillo think the police have been honest in their assessment?

“Without going into details, no,” he said matter-of-factly.

All the photos in the We All Bleed collection are black and white. Why? “I chose black and white images for two reasons: They remain timeless; most of my

journalism and in-the-field work is black and white because I draw inspiration from photographers of the past. I have always loved how black and white images remove the nonsense.”

One of his most impacting images didn’t make it into the SLOMA exhibition, but it’s viewable on his website, fusillofoto.com. It depicts a circle of people, one with a hand with vitiligo, which seems to communicate in a profound way how random skin tone is. Was this shot a happy accident?

“First, I’m glad you saw that image,” Fusillo said. “It didn’t make it on the walls at SLOMA but is a part of the collection We All Bleed.

I don’t stage my shots and am constantly scanning the area I’m photographing when being a journalist. You never know what’s happening all around you until you look. So, yes, this was a happy accident in a way.

“I remember this moment was during a Free Tianna protest in front of the courthouse, and for a moment there was complete joy in the crowd. A small group of Black, young activists were huddled amidst the crowd focusing on one another, talking quietly before dancing. I happened to turn around at the right moment.”

Many of Fusillo’s images are simple yet deeply evocative, such as a charred American flag. How does he know where to turn his eye?

“I learned how to capture spontaneous, candid moments while touring with bands and the music scene I used to photograph a lot in the past,” he said. “Live shows, van life, and not knowing what town is next really trained my eyes to constantly scan what’s happening around me every time I’m holding a camera.

Being on the streets, capturing protests, is very familiar to that.”

What does he hope people will take away from his show?

“I hope people see how important small community activism is and that it needs to continue to grow,” he concluded. “All Black Lives Matter.” ∆ Contact Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Time loop I

an Samuels (Sierra Burgess is a Loser) directs this young adult fantasy romance written by Lev Grossman and based on his short story of the same name. Mark (Kyle Allen) is caught in a time loop, THE MAP OF TINY waking up every morning to the same day on repeat.

PERFECT THINGS He doesn’t seem to mind, What’s it rated? PG-13 blithely going through the What’s it worth, Anna? Full price same 16 hours knowing What’s it worth, Glen? Full price there are no consequences.

Where’s it showing? Amazon Prime It’s a comfortable rut, but then he meets Margaret (Kathryn Newton), who’s caught in the through this morning countless times. same time loop. They begin spending time Luckily his spirit has not yet been broken together, showing each other some of the by the repetitious cycle; he still seems to tiny perfect things they’ve discovered in have a great time fixing minor problems their constantly repeated day. (98 min.) around his quaint little town, whether it is

Glen Like Palm Springs (2020), The Map of Tiny Perfect Things takes the Groundhog Day (1993) idea and puts its own unique spin on it. Mark is a likable guy, carefree and happy to spend his day driving construction machinery through town, trying to woo a pretty girl at the community pool by saving her from a beach ball that knocks her into the water, and doing other random things to entertain himself. He’s a standard-issue selfish teenager who bickers with his sister, Emma (Cleo Fraser), and hangs out with his bestie, Henry (Jermaine Harris). His dad, Daniel (Josh Hamilton), is writing a book about the Civil War, and his mom is always driving off as soon as he wakes up. Like self-involved newscaster Phil (Bill Murray) in Groundhog Day, Mark has a lesson to learn, but he’s nowhere near ready. Meanwhile, Margaret has her own travail to deal with, though it’s a mystery. Each repeated day she receives a text message and suddenly rushes off. Mark has a lot of growing to do, and in Margaret, he finds someone other than himself to care about. What follows is a tender, funny love story.

Anna The film starts off with Mark basically performing a circus act while his dad and sister sit at the breakfast table. He’s catching mugs about to fall, flipping butter up into the air, teasing his family by playing myna bird to their banal breakfast talk—he’s clearly been

letting someone know where their missing keys are or shouting out “bless you” a few seconds before a stranger sneezes, Mark has the events of the day memorized.

While he may seem pretty happy-go-lucky, Mark also can’t help but feel lonely. When his day-to-day is all of a sudden shaken up

by Margaret, he’s beyond excited to have someone to share the ins and outs of life as they’re stuck in a circle. To his surprise, Margaret even has some cool things to show him that he hasn’t seen before, and soon the two start building their map of all the little things that bring them joy— even if they’ve seen them a hundred times.

It’s a lighthearted teen rom-com, perfect for those moments when you need a bit of sweetness in your life.

Glen It is pretty lighthearted … until it isn’t. Margaret’s secret is a pretty heavy one, and when Mark discovers it, it leads to a reassessment of his own life. He thinks his dad is a fool for quitting his job to write a book on the Civil War, his mom feels absent, and he has zero interest in his sister or her stupid soccer game.

Margaret makes him realize he’s not the center of his story but instead a player in hers, and his family isn’t useless and boring, he’s just checked out from caring.

Ultimately, this is a story about Margaret learning to heal herself and move on, and Mark growing up and learning to care about someone or something other than himself. It’s sweet bordering on

AROUND THEY GO Mark (Kyle Allen) and Margaret (Kathryn Newton) discover they’re trapped in the same Groundhog Day-like time loop, in the charming YA rom-com The Map of Tiny Perfect Things, screening on Amazon Prime.

maudlin, and obviously the time loop idea is derivative, but I really like these characters. I don’t recognize either Kathryn Newton or Kyle Allen from any of their past work, but they’re very engaging here, striking the right notes of teenage ennui. You want things to work out for them, for them to find a way out of their rut and into a new life together.

Ain’t love grand?

Anna It definitely delves into some deeper places emotionally. Margaret doesn’t want their time loop to end, and when you realize why, it all makes sense.

Mark starts to see that he’s actually pretty lucky he got stuck in such a mundane day. It’s very cute to watch these two as they map out all of these perfect little moments and fall for each other. They’re both smart, but when Margaret pokes fun at Mark for being a “nerd who’s bad at math,” he decides that maybe goofing off isn’t the best way to spend every day and actually starts using his time for some self-betterment.

It’s a story of growth and growing up for these two, and a story of their friendship and the early days of teen romance. This one is bound to give you some nostalgia for those little moments that seem so big when you were first entering a young budding romance. Don’t play the comparison game with this one and Palm Springs or Groundhog Day—give it a chance to shine all on its own.

W

ritten and directed by John Stewart, Irresistible is a political comedy that pits Democratic strategist Gary Zimmer (Steve Carrell) against his Republican counterpart, Faith Brewster (Rose Byrne), in a small, conservative Midwestern town. After a video of retired veteran Jack Hastings at a town hall meeting goes viral, freshly failed Gary heads to Deerlaken, Wisconsin, to try to talk the small town hero into running for mayor as a Democrat. Wary at first but soon on board, Jack is backed by his daughter Diana (Mackenzie Davis) and a small group of townies who start campaigning in earnest.

It’s an uphill battle for Jack. The voters are conservative and traditional, not ones who like to rock the vote. Luckily Gary is an old hat at spinning things to the left and figuring out how to raise a bunch of money for his candidates.

As soon as the campaign gains some attention, rival Faith rolls into town with her own crew and dirty tricks to keep the Republican incumbent in office. The two despise each other but also seem to have a wild attraction.

One thing is for sure, they both like to win—

W BATTLE ROYALE Two rival political operatives— Democratic strategist Gary Zimmer (Steve Carrell) and Republican strategist Faith Brewster (Rose Byrne)— square off over a small town mayor’s race, in the political comedy Irresistible, screening on HBO Max. but there can be only one winner here.

There’s definitely a plot twist at the end of this one that I won’t spoil, but let’s just say this flick is about a whole lot more than a mayoral election in rural Wisconsin. Carrell and Byrne are both their usual hilarious selves, and director Stewart has a whole lot of fun putting them to work. (101 min.)

riter-director Paul W. S. Anderson (Resident Evil, Alien vs. Predator, Death Race) helms this video game adaptation about Capt. Artemis (Milla Jovovich) and her U.N. Security soldiers who are transported to a new world where they fight for survival against giant monsters with special powers.

Their best hope for survival is to team with

Hunter (Tony Jaa), who lives in this hidden realm and is trained to hunt and kill Diablos, a subterranean horned monster.

Is it dumb? Yes it is! Is the acting mediocre? Hell yes! But are there giant monsters causing mayhem galore? Totally!

And sometimes that’s enough! This is a ridiculous B movie with an absurd fantasy plot, but the creatures are cool, and the stunts are amazing.

Do you want to see Ron Perlman in a Dolly Parton-esque wig? Of course you do! Do you want to roll your eyes at dialogue from one of Artemis’ soldiers who says, “This shit is way above my pay grade?” Sure you do! This is big-budget trash at its finest! (103 min.) Δ —Glen

Fountain drinks

BY CAMILLIA LANHAM

‘STARTER SODA’ The Pacific Sunrise is a mix of orange juice, passionfruit and peach purees, and soda water topped with housemade whipped cream, sprinkles, and candy powder.

Candy-coated memories Bumble B Soda Company in Morro Bay wants you to indulge in a whimsical treat and leave with a smile

S

tar-shaped sprinkles float on the freshly whipped waves of cream spiraling above a Pacific Sunrise—a soda made from orange juice, passionfruit puree, and peach puree.

Sitting outside with cars passing behind me, the soda’s deep orangey-pink matches the candy powder drifting next to the rainbow of stars. I break through the array with a squish, pushing a thick straw in to take a sip. Pleasantly surprised, the tangy-sweet beverage tastes of fruit and bubbles that make me giggle.

Pacific Sunrise is Bumble B Soda Company’s “starter soda,” co-owner Marissa Bello says with a laugh. Designed for the palates of both adults and children, the sodas, shakes, and other creations coming out of Bumble B take patrons down a whimsical path of flighty fun.

“The whole thing is to meet your grown-up palate but to take you back to the magicalness of being a kiddo,” Marissa says from a safe social distance.

“Nostalgia spurred us.”

When Marissa and her husband, Ryan Bello, were offered the space on Main Street in Morro Bay, they had no idea what they were going to do with it. They had just turned 50 years old and were trying to figure out how they wanted to live out the rest of their days. Ryan owned various businesses over the years doing manual labor like painting. Marissa was a massage therapist and an esthetician.

They were ready for something new.

“We looked at each other and wondered what did we love growing up and what are our fond memories,” she says. “It was just remembering the fun ice cream places and remembering how everyone used to get together.”

“What brings us smiles and what can bring smiles to other people?” Ryan adds.

Both of them grew up in San Luis Obispo County, spending time as residents of Morro Bay, Atascadero, and other area cities. Marissa says they used to go to Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour in San Luis Obispo. They talked about oldschool soda shops and how much fun they had, the community those establishments built, and the memories people left with.

“They were really popular during our parents’ and grandparents’ age, but they started to go extinct, but they were a place for the community to gather around,” Ryan said. “There was no other soda shop around—ice cream/soda shop. I looked all over California and I looked all over the county, and they were just really rare. … This is something that’s going away, but I didn’t want it to go away.”

Cup of nostalgia

Find Bumble B Soda Company and The Dough Connection on Instagram @bumblebsoda and @thedoughconnection805 to sift through new creations and specials. The shop at 859 Main St. in Morro Bay is open from noon to 8 p.m. Fridays through Wednesdays and closed on Thursdays.

So they opened Bumble B Soda Company in June 2020, making sodas and other fun stuff to order. Carbonated water is mixed with the purees and syrups of your choice—or some magical combination Marissa thought up in the middle of the night (Hello, Pacific Sunrise!)—and topped with housemade whipped cream and a variety of candy powders or sprinkles.

The Cherry Blossom is a cherry vanilla soda with cherry gummies and sprinkles that resemble cherry blossoms: “It’s like creating a picture, if you know what I mean,” Marissa says.

“They almost sell themselves as they go out the door,” Ryan says.

The Bellos said that opening the shop almost didn’t happen, though. Bumble B was ready to open its doors right as COVID-19 hit.

“We looked within ourselves, and we said we can do this. We can do this. And it was a ghost town,” Ryan says. “Once we were deep into summer, the line was out the door, people were bustling everywhere.”

They didn’t have a grand opening until February 2021, when Bumble B Soda Company joined forces with The Dough Connection—a cookie dough company brought to the world by San Luis Obispo’s April Bodine. Now, Bumble B offers her cookie dough creations alongside and in their ice cream fantasies. Take the recent special, which they name “All the Buzz” as it sits on the table in front of me.

Loaded down with crumbled bits of Heath Toffee Bar, the whipped cream is also drizzled with chocolate syrup and topped with a scoop of decadent Mocha Toffee Chip cookie dough.

Underneath that cream, though, is where things get really good. Bumble B dropped a shot of Top Dog Coffee Bar (they’re neighbors) espresso into a traditional chocolate shake.

It’s love at first sip. And the best part is that it isn’t too sweet.

“Some people really, really love sweet soda. Some people don’t,” Marissa says.

“Because they’re all hand-crafted and made to order, we can adjust for your palate.”

Bodine and Marissa found each other on Instagram. Although there’s some debate as to who reached out to whom, the two women say it was random happenstance that led to some casual Instagram account stalking, and eventually, they just sat down and talked about their goals: To create desserts that are fantastic fun and make people smile.

PACKED WITH DOUGH April Bodine of The Dough Connection stuffs Rice Krispies treats with her safe-to-eat no-bake chocolate chip cookie dough.

In February, The Dough Company and Bumble B Soda Company celebrated their new partnership with a grand opening at the shop in Morro Bay. OLD FASHIONED Bumble B Soda Company in Morro Bay is a twist on the soda shops of the past, crafting sodas to order in almost any flavor you could desire with a little bit of whimsy sprinkled on top.

“Good, clean fun for the whole family,” Bodine says.

“It’s over the top, it’s very whimsical, it’s very Instagrammable,” Marissa adds.

“Nostalgia 2.0,” Bodine continues with a laugh.

So they joined “sugar forces” for the community.

The Dough Connection is a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Bodine says. She was a teacher, but with two young children who were suddenly at home all the time and needed help, she transitioned to staying at home.

“I started pandemic baking for sure,” Bodine says. “I always loved baking and so for my mental health, I started doing this weekly ‘I’m going to try a new recipe’ that I didn’t have time to do before.”

She posted pictures of her creations, and the response was bigger than she expected.

Bodine baked more and more, family and

friends started picking them up, and all of sudden, she was starting a business.

Her no-bake, safe-to-eat cookie dough sandwiches are what did it, she said. You can get dough in sandwich form, as a cake pop, or packed in ice cream containers.

The dough flavors come in classics like chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and oatmeal. But she also makes doughs like Oreo Explosion and stuffs Rice Krispies treats with chocolate chip cookie dough.

“I was always that person that if I made cookies, it’s so I could eat the dough first,” she says. “I don’t even care about the cookies that come after.”

Together, Bumble B and The Dough Connection are aiming to make people happy.

“We always say that this is more than a dough creation or a shake. We try to create an experience for people,” Marissa says. “We love to know the people that come in, we love to know our local community. … We really try to have that connection.” Δ Editor Camillia Lanham is swimming in passionfruit puree.

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): Artist Richard Kehl tells this traditional Jewish story: God said to Abraham, “But for me, you would not be here.” Abraham answered, “I know that Lord, but were I not here there would be no one to think about you.”

I’m bringing this tale to your attention, dear Aries, because I think the coming weeks will be a favorable time to summon a comparable cheekiness with authorities, including even the Divine Wow Herself. So I invite you to consider the possibility of being sassy, saucy, and bold. Risk being an articulate maverick with a point of view that the honchos and experts should entertain.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Poet Wendell Berry says “it’s the immemorial feelings” he likes best: “hunger and thirst and their satisfaction; work-weariness and earned rest; the falling again from loneliness to love.” Notice that he doesn’t merely love the gratification that comes from quenching his hunger and thirst. The hunger and thirst are themselves essential components of his joy. Work-weariness and loneliness are not simply inconvenient discomforts that he’d rather live without. He celebrates them, as well. I think his way of thinking is especially worthy of your imitation in the next three weeks.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

(April 20-May 20): Spiritual author Ernest Holmes wrote, “True imagination is not fanciful daydreaming. It is fire from heaven.” Unfortunately, however, many people do indeed regard imagination as mostly just a source of fanciful daydreaming. And it is also true that when our imaginations are lazy and out of control, when they conjure delusional fears and worries, they can be debilitating. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I believe the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to harness the highest powers of your imagination—to channel the fire from heaven—as you visualize all the wonderful and interesting things you want to do with your life in the next nine months.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Famous and influential science fiction novelist Philip K. Dick relied on amphetamines to fuel his first 43 novels. Beginning with A Scanner Darkly, his 44th, he did without his favorite drug. It wasn’t his best book, but it was far from his worst. It sold well and was made into a movie featuring Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr., and two other celebrity actors. Inspired by Dick’s success without relying on his dependency—and in accordance with current astrological omens—I’m inviting you to try doing without one of your addictions or compulsions or obsessions as you work on your labor of love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I’m always waiting for a door to open in a wall without doors,” wrote Gemini author Fernando Pessoa.

Huh? Pessoa was consistently eccentric in his many writings, and I find this particular statement especially odd. I’m going to alter it so it makes more sense and fits your current needs.

Here’s your motto for the coming weeks: “I’m always ready to figure out how to make a new door in a wall without doors, and call on all necessary help to make it.”

(June 21-July 22): You can’t drive to the Kamchatka Peninsula.

It’s a 104,000-square-mile area with a sub-Arctic climate in the far east of Russia. No roads connect it to the rest of the world. Its major city, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, is surrounded by volcanoes. If you want to travel there, you must arrive by plane or ship. And yet Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky has long had a thriving tourist industry. More so before the pandemic, but even now, outsiders have come to paraglide, hunt for bears, and marvel at the scenery. In this horoscope, I am making an outlandish metaphorical comparison of you to the Kamchatka Peninsula. Like that land, people sometimes find it a challenge to reach you. And yet when they do, you can be quite welcoming. Is this a problem? Maybe, maybe not. What do you think? Now is a good time to reevaluate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ninety percent of all apples in the world are descended from a forest of apple trees in southeast Kazakhstan. Most of us have tasted just a few types of apples, but there’s a much wider assortment of flavors in that natural wonderland. You know how wine is described as having taste notes and aromas? The apple flavor of Kazakhstan’s apples may be tinged with hints of roses, strawberries, anise, pineapples, coconuts, lemon peels, pears, potatoes, or popcorn. Can you imagine traveling to that forest and exploring a far more complex and nuanced relationship with a commonplace food? During the coming weeks, I invite you to experiment with arousing metaphorically similar experiences. In what old familiar persons, places, or things could you find a surprising wealth of previously unexplored depth and variety?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Author Andrew Tilin testified that he sometimes had the feeling that his life was in pieces— but then realized that most of the pieces were good and interesting. So his sense of being a mess of unassembled puzzle parts gave way to a deeper contentment—an understanding that the jumble was just fine the way it was. I recommend you cultivate and enjoy an experience like that in the coming weeks, Capricorn.

LEO

AQUARIUS

(July 23-Aug. 22): Biting midges, also known as no-see-ums, are blood-sucking flies that spread various diseases. Yuck, right? Wouldn’t the world be a better place if we used science to kill off all biting midges everywhere? Well, there would be a disappointing trade-off if we did. The creepy bugs are the primary pollinators for several crops grown in the tropics, including cacao. So if we got rid of the no-seeums, there’d probably be no more chocolate. I’m guessing that you may be dealing with a comparable dilemma, Leo: an influence that has both a downside and an upside. The central question is: Can you be all you want to be without it in your life? Or not? Now is a good time to ponder the best way to shape your future relationship.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Indian poet Meena Alexander (1951-2018) was born under the sign of Aquarius. She became famous after she moved to the U.S. at age 29, but was raised in India and the Sudan. In her poem “Where Do You Come From?” she wrote, “Mama beat me when I was a child for stealing honey from a honey pot.” I’m sorry to hear she was treated so badly for enjoying herself. She wasn’t committing a crime! The honey belonged to her family, and her family had plenty of money to buy more honey. This vignette is my way of advising you, in accordance with astrological omens, to carry out your personal version of “stealing the honey from the honeypot,” dear Aquarius.

Take what’s rightfully yours.

VIRGO

PISCES

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to my analysis of your imminent astrological potentials, you already are or will soon be floating and whirling and churning along on an ocean of emotion. In other words, you will be experiencing more feelings and stronger feelings than you have in quite some time. This doesn’t have to be a problem as long as you do the following: 1. Be proud and appreciative about being able to feel so much. 2. Since only a small percentage of your feelings need to be translated into practical actions, don’t take them too seriously. 3. Enjoy the ride!

(Feb. 19-March 20): The bad news is that the narrow buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea is laced with landmines. Anyone who walks there is at risk for getting blown up. The good news is that because people avoid the place, it has become an unprecedented nature preserve—a wildlife refuge where endangered species like the red-crowned crane and Korean fox can thrive. In the coming weeks and months, I’d love to see you engage in a comparable project, Pisces: finding a benevolent use for a previously taboo or wasted part of your life. ∆
