Last State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to state residents

California residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the $39 minimum set for state residents - non state residents must pay $118 per coin if any remain after 2-day deadline

STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per CA resident has been imposed CALIFORNIA - “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Treasurer for the National Mint and Treasury.

For the next 2 days the last remaining State of California Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to California residents who call the National Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication.

“I recently spoke with a retired Treasurer of the United States of America who said ‘In all my years as Treasurer I’ve only ever seen a handful of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls still in pristine condition is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said.

“Now that the State of California Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of California state residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne.

“That’s because the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of California Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what California residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say.

And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of California you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because all other residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline.

The only thing California resi-

dents need to do is call the National Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends.

“Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $115 - $825 each in collector value,” JACKPOT: Imagine finding the 1919-D Lynne said.

Silver Walking Liberty “So just imagine how much these shown above worth VALUABLE: last remaining, unsearched State thousands of dollars in collector value in It’s like a of California Restricted Bank one of these unsearched treasure hunt - there’s no telling what you’ll find. That’s Rolls could be worth someday. Re- Bank Rolls.

“We’re guessing thousands of California residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne 1916-P 1921-S 1938-D 1919-P continued.

SLO County waste agency repeals its own polystyrene ban

I

FILE PHOTO COURTESY OF THE CITY OF GROVER BEACH

n late 2019, the San Luis Obispo County Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) passed a countywide ban on polystyrene—the environmentally harmful packaging material that includes Styrofoam.

But just before the ordinance was going to take effect in April 2020, COVID-19 hit, and the IWMA board voted to delay its implementation.

One year later—after a period of infighting among IWMA members that put the agency’s future in question—the IWMA is now repealing that ban altogether. On March 10, the IWMA board of directors voted 7-6 to pass the first reading of an ordinance that rolls back the polystyrene ban.

The issue with the ban, according to SLO County 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold, who voted for its repeal as an IWMA board member, is that it created new countywide regulations that went beyond state law, imposing them on localities that currently have no polystyrene rules.

“When the IWMA was created, it was never intended to be a legislative body,” Arnold told New Times. “The mission of IWMA was to educate and comply with state regulation and mandates. … Take this up at the Paso Robles City Council—don’t try to legislate outside your jurisdiction.”

Five cities in SLO County have ordinances prohibiting expanded polystyrene (or Styrofoam).

But the IWMA ban would have broadened those regulations to more kinds of polystyrene and applied them countywide. Paso Robles, Atascadero, and unincorporated SLO County— three jurisdictions without any polystyrene rules—would’ve been forced to comply.

Whether or not the IWMA should be dictating stricter waste regulations to municipalities was at the heart of an acrimonious debate that took hold in 2020 among IWMA member agencies:

SLO County, local cities, and community services districts.

Arnold said she felt so strongly about the issue that she was prepared to act to withdraw SLO County from the IWMA altogether if the ban moved forward.

“I wouldn’t sign that agreement,” Arnold said. “I do not want to promote this kind of non-transparent government because it leads toward being LEGAL? SLO County’s yet-to-be-implemented polystyrene ban will soon no governed so far away longer exist after the Integrated Waste Management Authority voted to repeal it. from who you even elected.”

“If this stuff is bad, we should be doing it As a result of the tumult, the IWMA updated [passing ordinances]. That’s our job,” Gibson its strategic plan last year to make meeting said. state mandates its only objective.

Tri-counties nominate locals for vacant Coastal Commission seat

in this county is the tourism that is attracted by the OHV park in the Oceano Dunes,” 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold said at the March 16 meeting. “And for me it is important that we recognize that with this nomination, and try to support someone that has said that they are in support of keeping that OHV park open and operating.”

Harmon, who has now been nominated for the South Central Coast seat by groups in SLO, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties, is a Lompoc native and has served on the Santa Barbara City Council as a progressive Democrat since February 2019.

“As a real estate and land use lawyer, I do understand how challenging it can be to work at the intersection of the Coastal Act and private property rights, and I understand how important it is that we’re sensitive to both,” Harmon said at the March 16 meeting. “I love our coast. I’m committed to protecting it, but it’s also vital that we move beyond entrenchment to call the problems of our time. I wrote about this in my letter, but issues like affordable housing, like job creation, these are connected to the

Gov. Gavin Newsom is looking for a new Central Coast representative to serve on the California Coastal Commission, and San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties nominated a few familiar faces for the position on March 16. However, the vacant seat will almost certainly not be filled before a March 18 Coastal Commission meeting that could determine the future of vehicle access at the Oceano Dunes.

At meetings on March 16, the SLO and Santa Barbara county boards of supervisors discussed their top picks for the South Central Coast seat. SLO opted for Santa Barbara City Councilmember Meagan Harmon, and Santa Barbara nominated Harmon and Santa Barbara County 1st District Supervisor Das Williams.

Although SLO County 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson advocated to put both Williams and Morro Bay Mayor John Headding on the list, conservative members of the board said they couldn’t recommend those individuals.

“One of the really driving economic forces

Coastal Commission.”

When it comes to the long-running debate over vehicle access at the Oceano Dunes, Harmon told New Times she’s not making any promises one way or the other. The Coastal Commission plans to consider the elimination of off-roading at the dunes at a meeting on March 18—likely without a South Central Coast representative.

Harmon won’t have a say in that decision, but she said if the Oceano Dunes controversy continues past this spring, she can only assure the community that, if appointed, she’d do her best to listen and learn.

“It’s important that commissioners have the conversations, do the research, do the reading, and make decisions based on the realities and facts,” she told New Times.

The California Coastal Commission is made up of 12 voting members and three non-voting members charged with regulating land and water use on the coast. All voting members are appointed to the Coastal Commission by the governor, the Senate Rules Committee, or NEWS continued page 6

the speaker of the Assembly, and half of the voting members are local elected officials in specific coastal districts. In 2014, former Gov. Jerry Brown appointed former Pismo Beach City Councilmember Erik Howell to the commission to represent the South Central Coast, which consists of SLO, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties.

Howell served on the Coastal Commission until he lost his bid for reelection to the Pismo Beach City Council in November 2020, leaving the South Central Coast seat up for grabs.

Once supervisors and city selection committees in the Tri-Counties have all nominated elected officials for the position, the governor may vet and appoint one of the officials nominated, or ask for new nominations.

In Ventura County, the Board of Supervisors nominated Ventura County Supervisor Linda Parks, and the city selection committee also nominated Harmon, along with Oxnard City Councilmembers Vianey Lopez and Gabriela Basua, and Port Hueneme City Councilmember Laura Hernandez. The SLO County and Santa Barbara County city selection committees are scheduled to make their nominations on March 18 and 19 respectively.

Paso residents complain about parking, and parklets will be gone before 2022

Some Paso Robles residents argue that parking is still a substantial issue for seniors—prohibiting many from enjoying the downtown area—that’s been compounded by parklets.

During the Paso City Council’s March 16 meeting, council members voted in favor of lowering the cost of the Senior Permit Pilot Program and voted to end the temporary parklet program on Nov. 1.

During public comment, resident Serena Freeman said she’s upset with the current $30 cost for a six-month parking permit for individuals 65 and older.

She and several other public speakers argued the permit cost is too much for individuals who are “cautious spenders” on a fixed income.

“We don’t want to come into town and have the problem of finding a parking spot. A lot of seniors are disabled, handicapped, and really can’t walk a long distance,” Freeman said. “Why do you want to shun us and turn us away from the city?”

Other public commenters argued that the city needed to do a better job of understanding what the residents wanted in a parking program and not just the downtown business sector.

Mayor Steve Martin said he wanted to remind the community that the city conducted several surveys, held public hearings, and received a lot of public comment on the issue when it was first discussed in 2018 and continued into 2019 and 2020.

“This is not something we pulled out of our back pocket,” he said.

In 2018, the council heard from downtown businesses, the business association, and residents about the lack of available parking downtown and employers’ inability to control where their employees parked. Within the

same year, the council established a parking management solution, including on-street parking regulations and an employee parking permit program. Onstreet parking included two hours of free parking followed by $1 per hour paid parking Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. In 2020, the council approved the $30 six-month senior parking permit.

Downtown Paso currently has 472 paid on-street spaces and 156 permit parkinglot spaces. However, in July 2020, the city launched its outdoor dining program that took over 65 paid parking spaces. The city issued 24 temporary outdoor dining encroachment permits, which caused a 14 percent reduction in available parking.

Carole MacDonal, owner of La Cosecha Bar + Restaurant, spoke in favor of parklets saying without those and federal assistance, they would have lost their business. MacDonal said parklets should stick around beyond 2021 because it’s unknown when businesses will be able to operate indoors with a full seating capacity.

“Even if we could go back to 100 percent seating, I’m not sure how comfortable people would be sitting close together again,” she said.

At the March 16 meeting, the council directed staff to return with a proposal to extend the Temporary Outdoor Dining Program to Nov. 1, 2021.

Council members also directed staff to return with options for seasonal and year-round parklets with feedback from stakeholders and on potential parking impacts.

The current parking program was extended to operate Monday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and will have a parking coordinator and three part-time parking ambassadors. The cost of the Senior Permit Pilot Program was reduced from $30 to $5.

Split SLO City Council votes in favor of continuing night hiking program

The San Luis Obispo City Council voted narrowly at its March 16 meeting to support an ongoing night hiking program at Cerro San Luis Natural Reserve (also known as Madonna Mountain)—which, pending an environmental review, would essentially make permanent a pilot program the city launched in 2018.

Councilmembers voted 3-2 in favor of establishing a permanent program allowing access to the mountain until 8:30 p.m. during the winter season. SLO’s open spaces typically close one hour after sunset, year-round.

“I am a big fan of this policy,” Mayor Heidi Harmon said at the meeting. “There is a certain magic to being in the open space under the night sky. This small but important opportunity will invite and create more stewards of the land.”

Harmon, who championed the pilot program in 2017, Vice Mayor Erica Stewart, and Councilmember Andy Pease argued that the extended winter hours give working locals more opportunities to access city open space. The council heard from many residents ahead of the meeting expressing that very view.

“I do think it’s an issue of equity, for those who can’t get off of work [before dark],” Harmon said. “Outdoor space has long been a luxury for many.”

6 • New Times • March 18 - March 25, 2021 • www.newtimesslo.com

Councilmembers Jan Marx and Carlyn Christianson dissented in the vote, joining other residents who cited the need to prioritize environmental conservation.

Marx said that allowing night hiking in the first place “flew in the face of our open space program that has existed for years” and added that it occurred despite “minimal and superficial environmental analysis.”

“As an environmentalist and a lifelong open space conservationist, I was opposed to it initially and I’ve continued to be opposed it,” Marx said. “To me this is a very bad precedent.”

Asking fellow council members to “get your priorities straight,” Marx said she didn’t buy the argument that night hiking created more equity.

“It’s a small group of people that are asking for a privilege that’s not about equity,” she said. “They decided that the previous council and this council would listen to them and favor them over the vast majority of permanent residents that want to see the program discontinued.”

With the 3-2 vote, the City Council directed staff to assess the environmental impacts of a permanent program. That review, plus costs for additional staffing, is expected to come out to $175,000, with $25,000 of ongoing, annual expenses.

County to move forward with cleanup projects at Pirate’s Cove

Pirate’s Cove is getting a makeover soon, and it’s one that some community members say is long overdue.

At a meeting on March 16, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to integrate Cave Landing into the county park system, allowing the county to enforce regulations and protections there that are followed at other local park facilities. The board also voted to put nearly $499,000 in public facility fees, $129,358 in general fund revenue, and a $250,000 California Coastal Conservancy grant toward various efforts to clean up the trails and parking areas at Cave Landing and Pirate’s Cove.

“We need to support the traditional use of our beaches,” 3rd District Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg said at the March 16 meeting. “We’ve seen more and more people out there, especially during COVID, and this is a very important location for many reasons, not only just the beauty of it, and the recreation of it but also, as was mentioned, the cultural resources and the biological resources. So this is well-spent money.”

The Cave Landing area has been fraught with problems for years now, since the county acquired the land and planned for park development there between 2008 and 2014. According to a county staff report, Pirate’s Cove, Cave Landing, and those who frequent the area are often the source of complaints to law enforcement and public officials. It lacks trash bins and bathroom facilities, the parking lot is unpaved and difficult to maneuver, and insufficient enforcement in the area and 24-hour access mandated by the California Coastal Commission has made it a popular spot for late-night fires and overnight camping.

Recently, county staff say that a homeless encampment was erected in the area, and graffiti, trash, human waste,

and discarded drug paraphilia now litter the parking lot and trails.

Using recently approved funding, the county hopes to collect trash at Cave Landing and install trash bins, level and pave the parking lot, clean up existing graffiti, and hire a park ranger to maintain the site.

“It’s taking staffing and a lot of other county resources in managing that encampment out there,” Otiz-Legg said.

“So what seems to be taken away with trying to properly manage this special place actually is taking resources from public safety, taking resources from the homeless coalitions, and all of the other social services that we have offered at the county. So in so many ways, now shifting over with this plan will actually be saving our resources as we just focus on the park aspect of that.”

Police search ‘prime suspect’s’ father’s home in Kristin Smart case

The Find Kristin Smart Facebook group lit up on March 15 and 16 with messages of hope and prayers for the Smart family during the SLO County Sheriff’s Office’s search of Ruben Flores’ Arroyo Grande home.

The search warrant was served March 15 as a part of an ongoing investigation into the 1996 dissapearance of Cal Poly student Kristin Smart.

“Prayers for answers and justice!”

Sherri Morris said in a post.

Ruben is the father of Paul Flores, who the Sheriff’s Office recently named as the “prime suspect” in the case. Flores is reported to be the last person to see Smart alive.

Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Tony Cipolla told New Times that Paul was considered a person of interest early on in the case.

“He is still considered a person of interest. But as more evidence has come forward, he has become the prime suspect in this case. [Sheriff Ian Parkinson] began referring to him as a prime suspect last year,” Cipolla said.

In a press release, the Sheriff’s Office said it had been authorized to use cadaver dogs and ground penetrating radar during the course of the search.

The Sheriff’s Office searched the property for two days, and the on-site team packed up the yellow caution tape around the home close to 2 p.m. on March 16.

“As with any active investigation, we will not be commenting on what, if any, evidence has been discovered. No further information will be released at this time,” a post on the Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook page read.

The search warrant is sealed, meaning the Sheriff’s Office is prohibited by law from disclosing any information regarding it.

During the search, investigators actively dug directly behind the Arroyo Grande home and underneath the rear deck, where they also ran the groundpenetrating radar. Buckets were removed from beneath the deck area.

Authorities also seized a red Volkswagen Cabriolet from the home’s driveway. During a March 16 interview with KSBY, Paul’s mother, Susan Flores, confirmed it belonged to her daughter. It was Susan’s first-ever interview with a news organization. ∆ —Karen Garcia

Fresh start SLO hires new police chief, looks ahead to department’s future

an Luis Obispo City Manager Derek Johnson considers himself “an action person.” So last summer, as Black Lives Matter protests erupted in the city, criticism mounted against the SLO Police Department’s response, and former Police Chief Deanna Cantrell left the city in September, Johnson said he got to work thinking about the future and police reform.

“There are legitimate conversations about the role of police and how we should be best policing in the community— we have to have those conversations,” Johnson told New Times on March 11.

“I’m hoping we can move that along.

I’m an action person. I understand the passion and the emotion, and I’m ready to get to that part of the conversation.”

On March 10, after a six-month search, SLO announced that it’d found its next police chief to help lead those discussions.

The city is hiring Rick Scott, the assistant police chief of North Richland Hills, Texas, a suburb of Fort Worth with a population of 70,000 residents.

A 24-year veteran of the department who’s currently in charge of police operations, Scott rose to the top of SLO’s hiring process, which involved citywide surveys, focus groups, and a community panel that participated in interviews. Johnson said Scott emerged as the top choice due to his “collaborative” nature and “holistic and balanced perspective to policing.”

“It’s never unanimous, but there was some real clarity about the top candidate,” Johnson said. “What he demonstrated is he has some fresh ideas and perspectives.

He’s got the energy. He understands first and foremost that building trust and relationships is the foundation.”

The out-of-state hire forced community members in the process to put aside any biases and stereotypes about Texas, Johnson said. North Richland Hills has a similar demographic profile to SLO (a largely white city) and Scott is a white

NEW CHIEF Rick Scott, assistant police chief in North Richland Hills, Texas, is SLO’s choice for its next police chief.

MAKING THE HIRE SLO City Manager Derek Johnson (pictured) praised his choice for SLO police chief, Rick Scott, for his “collaborative” nature and “holistic and balanced perspective to policing.”

man, but Johnson said community members looked to his character and credentials even while prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion.

“Just like California is not homogenous, neither is Texas,” Johnson said. “When we looked at the individual, we said, ‘Wow, he I think defies a lot of what may be common stereotypes about Texas, and he as a Texan in his understanding of California defied what we think that Texans think of us.’ So he demonstrated that through the process, and ultimately it was a judgment of his character, his values, and his experience.”

Scott declined a New Times interview request due to travel, but said in an email he’s “received a very warm reception thus far and look[s] forward to getting to work in support of this great community and department.”

Two community leaders who spoke to New Times offered their support for the hire. Doug Heumann, a local LGBTQplus advocate and member of the SLO Police and Community Together (PACT) team, said that “after meeting Rick and

reviewing his qualifications, I believe that he is an excellent choice.”

Stephen Vines, president of the SLO County NAACP, said that while the city and its consultants recruited the candidates and “pretty much managed the whole process,” Scott “seems to be a progressive” and that Johnson “did a good job.”

Other community groups consulted included R.A.C.E. Matters SLO, SLO U40, the Diversity Coalition of SLO County, Transitions-Mental Health Association, the Community Action Partnership of SLO County, Cal Poly, and Downtown SLO, among others, Johnson said.

Pending medical and psychological evaluations, Scott is expected to take over the department in May, while SLO’s interim chief, Jeff Smith, will depart to become the next police chief of Pismo Beach.

Scott will arrive as the department faces scrutiny locally and beyond for a tumultuous few years, highlighted by the use of tear gas at a protest last summer and the controversial 2020 arrest of Black Lives Matter activist Tianna Arata. SLO Police are also confronting

a growing homelessness crisis in the city—a challenge that Johnson said law enforcement has been unfairly leaned on to respond to.

“Should police officers be the ones who are doing all the social work and field work on homelessness? Absolutely not,” Johnson said. “But we have a failed state and county system where there is no alternative—so what do people do? They call police. Now police are doing everything from homelessness, to domestic disputes, to child welfare, and everything else. I think there is a legitimate conversation: How do we get police out of those situations?”

That’s one area that Johnson hopes to make reforms. Johnson asked Scott directly about the “defund the police” movement that calls on cities to redistribute resources away from traditional law enforcement activities toward other means to solve systemic problems and inequities.

“He said there is a conversation to be had about the appropriate role for police and the appropriate role for our social service partners, and there needs to be a rebalancing of that,” Johnson said. “You’ll see some of that in the budget.”

In upcoming budget talks at the City Council, Johnson said he’ll be proposing a pilot program modeled after programs in Eugene, Oregon, and Denver, Colorado, where paramedics and social workers respond to calls on homelessness rather than armed police officers. The program has been successful in reducing arrests and delivering other services, and Johnson said it’s the type of structural change he’s interested in. He added that he wants to grow marginalized community members’ representation on the PACT team, and he will ask Scott to spearhead a new strategic plan for the police department.

“Is it going to make everyone happy?

No, but it’s a step in the right direction,” he said. “Ultimately, I believe that marginal gains and adjustments that can be sustained by investments and can be absorbed by the system are going to have a more cumulative effect than a radical shift. ... I think doing it right is more important than doing it quick.” ∆

Funding help Stimulus checks are hard to get if you don’t have a bank account, mailing address, or internet access, but homeless advocates say it can be done

W

hen Abel Campos was released from the California Men’s Colony in January 2020 after roughly 12 years in prison, he didn’t have much to help him start his new life: no bank account, no job, no place to call home.

Forced to live on the streets of San Luis Obispo, Campos tried to focus on meeting his parole requirements and finding a steady job. He found some work here and there, but COVID-19 hit just a few months later and left him without many options.

Things looked pretty bleak until April, when Campos heard about the first round of federal economic impact payments, $1,200 checks that most Americans received from the IRS automatically in the mail or through direct deposit.

Campos, however, hadn’t received such a payment. He hadn’t filed tax returns during his imprisonment, and he didn’t have a mailing address or access to a computer.

“So if you don’t have any of those, well you’re not gonna get it,” Campos told New Times.

In April 2020, Congress passed a $2.2 trillion economic stimulus bill aimed at easing the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. That included payments of $1,200 that went directly to many Americans, followed by another $600 in the winter.

The IRS issued those payments via check or direct deposit using information included in 2018 and 2019 tax returns, posing a problem for former inmates and individuals experiencing homelessness, who often don’t file tax returns. While it is possible to claim a stimulus check as a non-filer, those who do so need, at the very least, valid identification, a mailing address, and internet access. For those experiencing chronic or unsheltered homelessness, who sometimes don’t even have basic identification, that process creates more problems. But they are issues that can be solved.

Now with another $1,400 on its way, local homeless services agencies and volunteers are working to get the word out to those who need it most. Campos is

doing the same.

He wasn’t willing to give up on what he considered to be “free money,” and he eventually found a friend with a computer and paid her $100 to help him register as a non-filer through the IRS website. Once he had computer access, Campos said the process was actually pretty easy. He just provided some personal identification information and had the check delivered to his parole officer’s address. When the check arrived in June 2020, he cashed it at Bank of America—federal checks can be cashed at any bank—and got it all in $100s.

That check and the following $600 helped him get back on his feet. He’s still homeless, but now he has a checking account, a full-time job, and there’s more stimulus money on its way.

He’s sharing what he knows with others in the local homeless community. All you need, he tells them, is a valid ID, an address, and Internet access.

“A lot of these homeless people don’t know about this stimulus check when you talk to them,” he said.

Like Campos, several residents of a homeless camp near the Bob Jones Trail told New Times in March 2021 that they’d received both their $1,200 and $600 payments, despite lacking bank accounts and mailing addresses. One man said he sent his checks to his sister’s house and then cashed them at various banks.

Another said he signed up as a non-filer on a friend’s cellphone. A newly homeless woman said she received the payments automatically on a prepaid credit card that she uses to get regular disability benefits.

She said her boyfriend also eventually received his check, but it was after a struggle with the IRS website, which he also accessed through a friend’s phone.

These are the kinds of obstacles Paul Frankel helps folks overcome as a benefits advocate at the 5Cities Homeless Coalition (5CHC), a nonprofit that provides various homeless services to South County residents. 5CHC assists clients involved in case management programs in accessing various

OFF THE GRID Those living in homeless camps across SLO County sometimes don’t have the documentation needed to get their economic impact payments.

government benefits, and Frankel said he’s helped a number of clients navigate the economic impact payment process throughout the pandemic.

For some, the process has been pain free. Clients who receive long-term assistance through Social Security Insurance or Social Security Disability Insurance are usually paid on a monthly basis through their personal bank accounts or government-issued “direct express” debit cards, and they receive their stimulus checks the same way.

At least that’s how it’s supposed to work, Frankel said, “but I have clients in that category that did not automatically receive their stimulus.”

Even with his professional experience of wading through bureaucratic processes, Frankel said determining the status of such payments and finding a new way for his clients to receive their checks was complicated enough that it left him scratching his head at times.

“For those not on long-term disability,” he said, “it has been very difficult.”

Some 5CHC clients don’t even have IDs and have to start there. Those without mailing addresses and bank accounts can either use the 5CHC office address to receive checks in the mail, buy pre-paid credit cards with a direct deposit feature for $5, or sign up for free bank accounts online.

Most people experiencing homelessness don’t file federal income tax returns, leaving the IRS with outdated information to work with, if any at all. Frankel said some of his clients had to cancel stimulus checks that were sent to old addresses or deposited in invalid bank accounts. Some are still waiting for replacements to arrive.

Now the IRS is asking those who didn’t receive the first two economic impact payments to file a 2020 tax return and claim a “recovery rebate credit.” Even those who don’t normally file tax returns are eligible, and Frankel said that’s the best way to ensure a person has received all past payments and will receive those yet to come. A 2020 state income tax return is also required to receive the $600 California stimulus payment.

“While we have been helping clients determine the best course of action in getting their payments, we are unable to serve many people who ask for help getting their payment but are not engaging 5CHC services,” Frankel wrote in an email to New Times. “I definitely see a need for that type of targeted help in our community!”

Staff at 40 Prado Homeless Services Center are also helping their clients get economic impact payments, and Deputy Director Grace McIntosh said the process has been quick and easy for those who have the proper identification documentation.

She also noted that anyone who has ever used services at 40 Prado, regardless of their status—even if they were kicked out of the shelter at some point for behavioral issues—can still use 40 Prado’s P.O. box as a mailing address.

Staff keep mail on-site for two weeks, and it can be picked up between 1 and 1:15 p.m. every day.

If someone asks for help, McIntosh said, “we’ll help them.” ∆ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@newtimesslo.com.

RISING ABOVE Abbey Onikoyi created this mural of a bird taking flight at 40 Prado. The piece was inspired by the work and clients of the homeless shelter.

Human potential

T

he permitting process to operate a brick-and-mortar cannabis dispensary in the city of San Luis Obispo was competitive, but Megan’s Organic Market managed to make the cut.

As part of the application, market coowner Megan Souza said they promised to donate a minimum of 20 companysponsored employee service hours and $2,000 per month to organizations that benefit the residents of SLO. It was the perfect opportunity for her to carry out community services ideas that she and the others came up with during their time with Leadership SLO on Legacy Project ideas that didn’t come to fruition. Each year, Leadership SLO participants give something to the community: Souza’s class developed educational signage for the city of SLO’s hydration stations.

Another idea was putting a mural in the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center to inject more life into a facility that Souza said does meaningful work.

“It provides amazing services; it feeds, houses, and provides health care to a shocking number of people every single night,” Souza said.

According to Friends of 40 Prado, a fundraising group for the facility, 40 Prado is the only full-time, 24-hour center serving the homeless population in the region. It’s estimated that between 90 to 100 people stay in the facility and are provided with services and basic needs.

The facility itself is beautiful, Souza said, however, it’s not lively.

“We were wanting to make it feel less institutional and more like a place where people hang out because it’s frequented by people eating their meals, working on their resumes, and doing their work every day,” she said.

Someone recommended that Souza work with local artist Abbey Onikoyi, whose works are jubilant with a vibrant color palette and subjects that are almost always in motion.

Contrary to his colorful portfolio, Onikoyi told New Times he painted the 40 Prado mural, which displays the stages of the flight of a bird, entirely in white.

“I felt the bird was almost saintly, so I felt it had to be very clear and very clean.

I don’t want to muddle it up with too much color,” Onikoyi said.

If there was too much color or anything

else going on, the mural’s message would be lost, he said. The message he’s hoping to get across is believing in yourself.

“I feel like having that white, very basic color, it allows people to put in whatever color they want to put in and whatever message they want to add to it,” Onikoyi said.

Accompanying the bird in flight is a quote from a 40 Prado client: “Believe in yourself, spread your wings, and fly … .”

Onikoyi said it’s a very personal message that resonates with everyone on a deeper level, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s so moving and uplifting. There is no better message than to begin the new year with believing in ourselves,” he said.

Onikoyi spent a lot of time at the 40 Prado facility to work on the mural and said he was very inspired by the staff, but particularly by the people who received services there. He described constant laughter and camaraderie from individuals who come from varying situations but haven’t lost their good spirits.

“I was inspired by the facility’s operations and the unhoused individuals that know their situation is temporary.

They know they can move on from there and believe in themselves to do so,” Onikoyi said. “Life has its ups and downs, you know, but situations are temporary and change is meaningful.”

• Arroyo Grande held a small ribbon cutting and reopening ceremony of the historic Bridge Street Bridge on March 12. The bridge served the community for more than 100 years, and in that time it acquired age-related deficiencies that would have caused its closure. In February 2020, the city awarded a construction grant to Granite Construction to rehabilitate the bridge while retaining its accessibility and historic value. In October of the same year, the city awarded a construction grant to Quincon Inc. for habitat mitigation on the creek. The $9.1 million project funded through the Federal Highway Bridge Program is completed and ready for the public.

Save Oso Flaco Dear State Parks, California Coastal commissioners, and staff

T

he Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes National Wildlife Refuge website says: “Did you know? There are at least 26 imperiled plants and 118 imperiled animals that can be found on the refuge and surrounding dune habitats.”

Save Lupinus nipomensis (Nipomo mesa lupine)!

Keep out of the Phillips 66 Refinery buffer area! This is the very, very rare dune scrub habitat, and home of the very, very, very rare and federally endangered Lupinus nipomensis.

To even consider any development in this area is outrageous! This plant has such a narrow band of land it exists on, that few people have seen this plant. I care deeply about endangered species and this plant!

Clearly, your documents (the Oceano Dunes public works plan) state a need for profit due to an expected loss of revenue.

However, conservation is also your mission! As a steward of California state land, the future and current residents of California (and the world) expect endangered species to be preserved, not developed on top of.

As I mentioned in my comments from the meeting on Dec. 10, 2019, that I attended, do not develop the Oso Flaco Lake natural area!

HODIN

I say no to all proposals in Volume 1, Appendix A1—the Oso Flaco improvement project (initial and future).

I say no to all proposals in Volume 1, Appendix A8—the Phillips 66/Southern entrance project (conceptual).

As I wrote to you last year, I urge you to donate the 800-acre Oso Flaco Lake natural area to become part of the existing Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes National Wildlife Refuge located to the immediate south.

The land was studied to be included in the refuge should the landowners (State Parks) agree to do so.

I, again, urge State Parks to donate the 800-acre Oso Flaco Lake Natural Area to be part of the national wildlife refuge.

The conservation plan documents the history of the preservation of these lands, including the Phillips 66 Refinery buffer (formerly the Tosco Refinery buffer).

A national wildlife refuge does not have profit as one of its primary goals.

Conservation of very productive habitat is one of the goals of a national wildlife refuge. This includes endangered and threatened species.

Do the right thing and put plovers over profits! Conserve water—no new wells in the Oso Flaco Lake natural area. Clean the water runoff from the farm fields instead. Install a bio-filter to remove nitrates such as was done for the Santa Maria River in Santa Maria.

No new OHV, no new campground, no new water wells, no new electricity.

animals, dog waste pollution, increased traffic, increased oil drips from vehicles, increased litter and micro-trash from campers, noise from campers, noise from RVs and campers, noise from new OHVs, noise from the new proposed shooting range, and a general increase in intensity of use on one of the most rare and unique ecosystems on earth!

I disagree that the plans comply with the California Coastal Act or the Local Coastal Program. The Oso Flaco Lake area is specifically mentioned in the San Luis Obispo County law as being a SRA— Sensitive Resource Area—and thus it simply needs a separate permit before development can occur.

The way State Parks has pushed this plan, and the way the public input meetings were conducted and where they were held, shows a clear bias toward the OHV industry and users, for profit, and not for the environment.

It reminds me of the episode of The Simpsons, “Marge vs. the Monorail.”

State Parks and planners hope to barge in and shove this idea on a supposedly naïve and uninformed public. I’m not falling for it.

Stop the madness and tell the state of California, State Parks, to donate the 800-acre Oso Flaco Lake natural area to the existing Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes National Wildlife Refuge!

P.S. Your entrance fee profits go into the state fund, not to help the community of Oceano. The profits are not yours; they are from the exploitation of bio-diverse habitat for motorized recreation. ∆ Leif Behrmann is from Oceano.

Letters Struggling to understand Since John Donegan’s recent column, “Orthodoxy and vanity” (March 11) is even more incoherent than usual, it’s hard to figure out his point. “Conservatism in science is not only desirable but necessary.

Theories need to be vigorously challenged, especially where acceptance requires an expensive and painful reaction such as with anthropogenic (human caused) climate change.”

That’s a loaded formulation at best. In the early 20th century, was acceptance of the internal combustion engine challenged because it would require an expensive and painful reaction? Not so much. Even though it certainly was expensive and painful to the horserelated businesses of the time, urban street design and a lot of other things.

Instead, to use the “conservative” lingo of our time, the change was mostly accepted in a positive way as “creatively disruptive.” Why isn’t transitioning from fossil fuel the same as getting rid of the tyranny of horseshit that once plagued our cities?

But my bigger question is this: Is conservatism in science different from conservatism in general? I thought the point was that the Founding Fathers got everything right and that the Constitution, for example, should therefore be strictly and literally adhered to. Originalism and all that.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY QUINN BRADY

Focus on the people redistribute wealth, and defend equity and justice, it is the ingrained and selfobsessed supremacy we uphold that ultimately holds us back from adopting meaningful policies and creating communities oriented toward progress and belonging.

The hard and necessary work of true progress requires confronting our deep roots of supremacy by pushing against its many pressures and having the courage to see another person as a person. Seeing each other as human beings allows us to recognize the polarizing systems and structures that have made it almost impossible to truly make space for humanity. If we can take the time to make the space in our communities, we will allow for a different perspective, questioning what we are missing and who is missing at the table, and creating room to be surprised by discovering something new and unexpected about one another.

By pushing against false dichotomies and stepping away from either one side or a directly opposing side and stepping into the gray area, we can embrace the necessary both/and thinking required for long-term change.

This moment invites us to leave behind the antiquated ways of perfectionism and performance and welcome the nuance. Communities and individuals rebuild and reconcile by befriending uncertainty through both embracing radical accountability and humanizing the other. If we can meet this invitation, it will create space for and demand justice, empathy, respect, and listening like our lives depend on it, which in turn has the power to liberate everyone. I believe this happens around tables, in line at coffee shops, and in classrooms and parks just as much as in boardrooms and government buildings.

The lessons from COVID-19 show us that meaningful progress will take adopting Medicare for all, but also the work of staying in the nuance, and leaning into one another to move our communities forward. Whether the lessons learned through this pandemic become just a moment in history or provide a springboard for long-term change is largely up to us. ∆

ne year into California issuing the first stay-at-home order, we find ourselves on the slow but hopeful climb out of the severity of the pandemic, which has killed more than half a million Americans and wreaked havoc on the lives of countless more.

While we spent much of the first year watching the federal government fail to meet the basic needs of the people they serve and witnessing incredible division and disregard for human life from the political right, we also saw communities come together creatively, voices rise from the rubble, and collaboration redefined.

And in these last months we have seen rapid political shifts on issues that have long stood still.

COVID-19 has offered a window into what is possible. One where community connection and deep unwavering commitment to the survival and success of someone outside yourself can be realized for the many, not just the few.

One where governments at every level say yes to the people they serve and start to prioritize people-first funding, recognizing that we don’t thrive until everyone thrives. This year we have seen devastating failures and a deepening divide. And still, there have been moments of hope, moments of recognizing ourselves in another—moments that help us remember that we can do more collectively than conventional wisdom would have us believe.

We still have a long road of rebuilding, reimagining, and reconciliation ahead, and right now is the time to ensure that the lessons from the pandemic become a part of our societal fabric, a part of our communal story, and a part of every policy and practice moving forward.

Yes, this looks like investing in affordable housing, strengthening the fair housing act, expanding Social Security, transforming public safety and the broken criminal justice system, increasing access to mental health services, passing the BREATHE Act, raising minimum wage, restoring the Voting Rights Act, adopting universal child care and equal pay for equal work, bringing to fruition the For The People Act, ensuring climate justice through the Green New Deal, reforming our immigration system, and enacting Medicare for all to provide everyone in America with comprehensive health care.

And so much more.

People-focused policies are critically important to our resilience as a society.

And it is the deeper and more complex work of confronting our disconnection, building relationships, and embracing nuance that is essential to our liberation and collective progress as a people.

White supremacy has taught us to stay separate, to stay above and outside of and disconnected from one another. It reinforces fear and doubt and dehumanization of the “other.” White supremacy has taught us to see only two sides of every debate, pitting people against one another with a deep belief that we already know everything there is to know, so we stop listening rather than acknowledging our uninterrogated biases and entering into the nuanced space that is so uncomfortable for America.

While policy has the power to radically

The Shredder

Safe, sober, sad

W

hat a difference a year makes.

A year after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down businesses and pushed people into their houses, we’re still mostly shut down and stuck at home.

Who could have predicted?

SLO County has lost 253 people to the virus in the last 12 months with more than 20,000 residents who were infected.

And as of St. Patrick’s Day, the county had 276 active cases, 21 of which were new.

And speaking of good ol’ St. Paddy, last year SLO County issued orders prohibiting alcohol sales from 5 p.m. the night before SLO’s favorite green-themed drinking holiday until noon on the day after! Wow! We must have had a ton of COVID-19 cases back then. Nope, nope.

We had three.

Three!

OK, so what did the county do this year, when we have waaaayyyy more cases going on? Nothing!

Wait, not nothing. The county issued a warning: “We do not want to see us backslide because of one night worth of gathering in great numbers and partying,” SLO County Public Health Officer Penny Borenstein said at a press briefing on March 10.

The city of SLO put out a PSA on social media: “Avoid party regret.”

An awkward green man covered in fourleaf clovers holds a sign: “Mask up, wash your hands, stay home if you are sick.”

Run wild kids, but not too wild, if you know what I mean? Mask up. Even if he says he can’t wear a mask because it doesn’t feel good.

The city has had so many issues on St. Fratty’s—err, I mean Patty’s—Week, that it’s hard to count.

Remember the roof incident of 2015? Prepandemic fun, amirite? That college-aged crowd was already having non-masked, non-social distanced, drinking-in-thestreets, fun before 2021’s big Irish holiday.

“Watch Out For Narks,” read a Barstool Cal Poly Instagram story with videos of all the fun that was had, according to a San Luis Obispo Tribune story. Isn’t it super ironic that the Barstool Cal Poly story is the narc?

With all the post-holiday spikes we had from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Year’s, the only thing we have really proven is that we can’t be trusted. If we could, we wouldn’t be in the red tier of the Blueprint for a Safer Economy a year into this pandemic! Duh! Seriously, though, I hate that blueprint almost as much as SLO City Councilmember Jan Marx hates night hiking. Actually, she despises the night hiking pilot program that SLO implemented in her absence from the City Council. I almost think she ran again just to get rid of it. And she was trying so hard to get rid of it during the March 16 SLO

City Council meeting.

It almost felt like she was just repeating herself, hoping to sway people to her side. Where have I heard before that repetitiveness isn’t an intelligent way to argue?

Oh yeah! It was Marx.

Night hiking is detrimental to open space, and she thinks it was a bad idea from the beginning! And you call yourselves environmentalists! As if!

“I do think a vote in favor of using city resources in order to negatively impact open spaces is a vote against combatting climate change,” she said. “You’ve got to get your priorities straight.”

Wowee! Councilmember Andy Pease didn’t like that!

“I think it is inappropriate to call this out as so black and white as to say you’re not for the environment if you support this,” Pease said. “I don’t think that that’s helpful.”

Tsk, tsk, not helpful, Marx!

Well, there’s a clear divide, with Marx and Councilmember Carlyn Christianson on one side and Pease, Councilmember Erica Stewart, and Mayor Heidi Harmon on the other. Democrats versus Democrats! Old guard versus new guard!

Fight, fight, fight! What isn’t clear is when the line will be drawn.

One week it’s over defunding police officers and the next week it’s over the environment. I wonder what will happen when the SLO City Council next discusses the controversial issue of

downtown parking! Will SLO be a repeat of the March 16 Paso Robles meeting where Mayor Steve Martin had to mom everyone into taking a chill pill?

Calm down, people! It’s parking.

Paso resident Serena Freeman will not calm down! She was very upset about parklets ruining the downtown Paso parking experience for seniors—even though the city is currently running a parking permit pilot program (say that five times fast) specifically for seniors. It was originally $30 for six months’ worth of parking.

“Why do you want to shun us and turn us away from the city?” she asked the City Council.

Obviously, it’s because the council hates old people! Actually, it’s because the city needed money, so it implemented parking meters in the downtown core and offered seniors something special. Then COVID-19 came around, and the city thought it would be nice to put parklets in downtown parking spaces so that its restaurants wouldn’t go out of business.

How dare they?

And now, more people might have to park two blocks away and walk—Gasp, walk?—to their destinations. How does San Francisco manage? Now, all you seniors out there will only have to pay $5 for six months’ worth of parking. Sounds like a steal. ∆ The Shredder is buying a hovercraft that doesn’t need parking.

A song for the strugglers COURTESY PHOTO BY BARRY GOYETTE

Bob and Wendy deliver an emotionally potent new single

O

f the pandemic, people like to say, “We’re all in this together,” but a year in, it’s pretty clear this scourge has hit some people and families harder than others.

“We’re on the verge of releasing ‘When I Needed You,’ the first single from our eight-song project, produced, engineered, and mixed by Damon Castillo at Laurel Lane Studios,” explained husband-andwife duo Bob and Wendy on their website.

“Our plan is to release one single per month. The idea is to give you some quality time with each song.”

Eight months from now, the entire album will be available. I got a sneak peak of this first song a couple of days ago, and it’s an homage to those struggling to take care of their family during uncertain times.

“This song is dedicated to my stepfather and became relevant during the pandemic as so many people are deprived of their livelihoods and unable to support their families,” said Wendy Liepman, the duo’s songwriter-in-chief and guitarist, with Bob Liepman on cello.

For this recording, they also enlisted Paul Griffith on drums and percussion, and Castillo on mellotron, and the duo shared music writing credit with Karoline Hausted and Mark Davis, their bandmates from Shadowland, as well as Castillo.

It’s got a propulsive melody, and Wendy’s elastic voice takes the lyrics in surprising directions.

It begins, “I know you were disappointed/ Crushed that you could not provide/ For your family how you wanted/ I know that it hurt your pride.”

The main conceit of the song is that despite struggling financially, the protagonist has taken care of his family in other ways.

NEW SINGLE Local folk duo Bob and Wendy have an emotive new single out, “When I Needed You,” currently available on most platforms.

“Don’t you catch yourself believing/ Thoughts of how you let us down/ It was something worth achieving/ When I needed you, you were around.”

Like most of Wendy’s songs, the lyrics have a cinematic feel.

“Creeping down the LA freeway San Vicente Boulevard/ You were hoping for some leeway/ Does it have to be so hard// Holding onto your dreams/ Were they too big for you/ To carry through to carry through/ To carry through to carry through.”

The song is a beautiful tribute to a man who perhaps felt like a failure but was a huge success in the ways that really counted.

“All your plans and propositions/ They did not amount to much/ Do you know you made a difference/ In the lives of those you love.”

“When I Needed You” made its way to a variety of platforms this week, including Spotify, Amazon, Pandora, and Deezer.

Check it out … and one month to go until song number two!

Brand-new day

Local favorite Próxima Parada also has a new single coming, “24 Brand-New Hours,” which has a funky upbeat groove. “‘24 Brand-New Hours’ is one giant, joyous reset button,” the band said. “We all have permission to leave behind yesterday’s suffering, take some risks, and step into the sun. We are full of potential. This song is a celebration of the present moment.”

With its harmony vocals, walking bassline, and upbeat lyrics, it’s pure elation.

“24 brand-new hours/ It’s our day/ 24 brand-new reasons/ Why we’re not the same” it starts, later bringing in images of seasons.

“Now even when summer is shining/ It can feel like winter inside us/ I know because my tree has been bare for so long// I’ve got 24 brand-new hours/ And I know the Amazon is getting thin/ Emerson gave me permission/ To go out on a whim// An hourglass is fragile/ And I know today is an opportunity.”

The single comes out this Friday, March 19, and there’s a pre-save link: proximaparada.ffm.to/24brand-newhours.

“By pre-saving, ‘24 Brand-New Hours’ will be waiting for you in your saved library, and it also helps continue our growth on Spotify and Apple Music,” the band said.

See it live!

Kaya plays folk, Americana, and classic rock at Dark Nectar Coffee Saloon (2940 Main St., Morro Bay) this Friday, March 19, from 2 to 5 p.m. She’ll be on the patio, and food, beer, wine, soft drinks, and snacks are available for purchase.

Power folk duo Bear Market Riot plays their amazing original songs at SLO Brew Rock on Friday, March 19, at 5:30 p.m., a benefit for CASA SLO. “We continue our monthly residency with our favorite local power folk duo as they focus their attention to CASA SLO,” said organizers at SLO Brew Rock. “This local nonprofit transforms the lives of abused, abandoned, and neglected children by providing them with a dedicated, trained, and supervised volunteer, known as a Court Appointed

Special Advocate, or CASA. This CASA volunteer serves a child one-on-one, primarily spending social time with the child and helping to assure the child’s needs are met.”

Tom Corbett joins Steve Key on Saturday, March 20, at Sculpterra Winery from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Corbett (mandolin and guitar) is a singersongwriter who’s toured and recorded with folks like John McEuen (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), and Robin and Linda Williams from A Prairie Home Companion. Special guest Ynana Rose will swap songs too.

Crushers unplugged

Hayley & The Crushers will be playing an acoustic version of their song “Kiss Me So I Can” from their Vintage Millennial album on multi-band online show this Sunday, March 21, 2 to 4 p.m. Info can be found on facebook.com/events/414643393157927.

The local—usually touring—punk trio also has a new limited edition clear 7-inch vinyl coming out that same day featuring their song “Church of Flag,” with Hayley’s version on one side and bassist Reid Cain’s version on the other. Highly collectible!

Local guitar guru and ’60s and ’70s music legend Merrell Fankhauser is having quite a year. After his song “Lila” ended up in the award-winning film The Chicago 7, he just found out he won the 2021 American Music Legend Award from the Top 100 Registry “in recognition of [his] outstanding efforts and achievements in the field of music.”

“I got a surprise recently when the mailman handed me the Gold Top 100 Registry Award for 2021!” Merrell said. “I had songs on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in 1968 and 1971. Soon they’re publishing the Top 100 special yearly magazine with bios on all the honorees. After all these years it’s a very nice honor. Amid the pandemic, something good is still happening for me. The Chicago 7 has received two Golden Globes for Best Screenplay and The Critic’s Choice Award for Best Acting Ensemble. Now I’m Looking forward to the Academy Awards.” ∆ Contact Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Abstract Thoughts at Studios on Parks highlights the varying styles of four artists who use similar hues

COMMENTARY Images from Jenny Ashley’s Lampshade Project, such as Lady in Waiting, are part of Studios on the Park’s latest exhibit, Abstract Thoughts.

eep blues, vintage yellows, bright reds, and ’70s beiges talk to one another at Studios on the Park.

Images imposed on reclaimed wood with spray paint. Geometric patterns in shades of mustards, teals, and brown. Oil paint and wax layered into shapes and words.

Women photographed in vintage settings with lampshades on their heads. The works of Burl Vreeland, Jordan Hockett, Allen Cox, and Jenny Ashley (respectively) are diverse in the Paso gallery’s latest exhibit, Abstract Thoughts, but the colors and patterns in the pieces bring it all together.

“It turned out to be a really cohesive and nice show in spite of the variation and mediums that everybody is doing,” Cox said. “They really speak to each other and it really elevates everyone’s work to have that conversation about color.”

Cox, who has been a professional artist for 40 years, said he started his career as a straightup abstract painter. But he’s evolved over time, and now he works with images that are based on actual forms—natural forms, plants, stone formations, landscapes, atmosphere— and creates images that are abstract with recognizable shapes.

“A lot of my original ideas about doing abstract painting were based on some of my own life experiences, in that I studied archaeology before I went to art school and worked in Oregon for 10 years [as an archaeologist] while I was teaching myself to paint on the side,” Cox said. “Ancient artifacts have this character that comes with great age.”

They are chipped and cracked, faded and worn, missing the luster that newness comes with. So he used that as inspiration to hone his craft, layering his paintings with dense bands that are reminiscent of “archaeological stratigraphy.” One of the pieces in Abstract Thoughts, Enlightenment, has a vintage or antique feel to it, with a textured base layer and a patterned image that looks to be an old spoon radiating light.

“I’m sort of using things that I was actually familiar with as models to develop painting. …

There’s always something new,” he said. “My work has its own distinctive textural quality and color.”

Ashley’s photographs also have their own distinct quality and feel to them. She hones in on patterned wallpapers and vintage dresses, furniture, and more to create the scenes for her pieces.

“My creative process was all about colors and finding … creating some sort of scene where there was this highly decorative scene where the woman becomes a decoration,” Ashley said.

ny true-crime fan remembers the ordeal of the “Submarine Murder” and the nitty-gritty details of the fate of Swedish journalist Kim Wall. This series brings to life the sad tale of the intrepid reporter and her ill-fated journey with Peter Madsen, a man who built his own submarine and ultimately confessed to murdering her while she was on board. This tale chronicles the investigators at the heart of the case as well as her parents who never stopped fighting for answers.

A story that seems too bizarre for real life is heartbreakingly true, and even though you may know the ultimate fate of those involved, this series manages to keep you on your toes. Personally, I didn’t know how close investigators were to not having a case at all. This look at how the police and the prosecutors have to team up is enlightening, and the Danish legal system seems very different from our own.

The focus of the series steadfastly remains on Jens Moller Jensen (Søren Malling), the lead investigator, and how

We learn the family dynamics between him and his beautiful wife and newly pregnant daughter, as well as his work relationships—especially with Maibritt Porse (Laura Christensen), who plays a major role in solving the case.

ndrew Koji stars as Ah Sahm, a Chinese martial arts prodigy who travels to San Francisco in the late 1800s in search of his sister, Xiaojing (Dianne Doan), who immigrated years earlier and is now known as Mai Ling, wife of Long Zii (Henry Yuk), head of a criminal tong. When Sahm arrives, he’s spotted by Wang Chao (Hoon Lee), an independent mover and shaker, who sees Sahm’s value as a fighter and finds him a position as a hatchet man with Father Jun’s (Perry Yung) tong, one of three competing gangs. Soon Sahm and Father Jun’s son, Young Jun (Jason Tobin), are at the forefront of criminal activity in Chinatown.

There’s a lot of terrific martial arts action, as you might expect from a TV series based on a treatment written by Bruce Lee and executive produced by Lee’s daughter, Shannon Lee. Koji’s a terrific martial artist, and the fight scenes are creatively choreographed. Tension between the Irish and Chinese, as well as corrupt local politicians,

DEADLY Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji), a gifted martial artist, immigrates to San Francisco and becomes a hatchet man for a criminal tong, in Warrior, which is currently screening on HBO Max. gives the series a lot to work with.

The dialogue is also a lot of fun, and Tobin as Young Jun is terrific as the irreverent son who in season 2 begins to seize power from his father. A third season was planned until Cinemax, which originally aired it, announced it would end all scripted programming due to COVID-19. If another season ever comes out, I’ll watch it!

A new coalition is raising funds to help pay restaurants’ bills and employees in San Luis Obispo

W

hen Big Sky Café’s Greg Holt saw what was happening to his restaurant industry colleagues during the COVID-19 pandemic, he knew he had to do something to help. But he wasn’t sure exactly how.

“I’m a cook,” he said. “I had no idea what to do.”

Luckily, he did know someone who could assist: Dr. Leola Dublin Macmillen, a Big Sky regular who also happens to be the director of equity and resource development for United Way of San Luis Obispo.

“Like most people, especially most professional women, I wear about 26 hats, but one of them involves building and sustaining really active relationships in the community to make sure we meet as many unmet needs as possible,” she said. “Greg came to me with an ask and an idea, and I said, ‘Yes, here’s how we’re going to make it happen.’”

The ask and idea were simple enough: raising money for restaurants in need so they could pay their employees, their bills, and rent. Figuring out how exactly to do it was a little more complicated.

Holt and Macmillen gathered together with other local restaurateurs so they could talk about what the industry’s needs were, what individual restaurant needs were, and how they could collectively establish an effective way to meet those needs. After many conversations, they formed the Central Coast Restaurant Coalition, SLO, which launched in February with Holt, Macmillen, Black Sheep Bar & Grill’s Myriam Olaizola, La Esquina/Ciopinot’s Rob Horton, Novo’s Samantha Welch, and Catt Hasbrook serving on the board of directors. The coalition’s goal is to raise and distribute financial support directly to local restaurants that need it.

“We’ve brought this together to keep our restaurant community vibrant and alive.

There are so many now who’ve already given up,” Holt said. “Our industry, our staffs, these are not the highest paid people in the world. And when I had to lose half of my staff, that hurt, and I want to take care of them. … Big Sky Café is very fortunate. We’ve always had a lot of support, and throughout all of this, there’s never been any doubt that we weren’t going to survive. … But that’s not the case for everybody.”

Several downtown restaurants have closed since the onset of the pandemic, including one of the establishments that helped get the coalition going, Captain Bill’s Subs, which shut its doors in February.

Making it through the ups and downs of the pandemic has definitely been a struggle, Holt said. He let go of front-ofthe-house and back-of-the-house staff due to COVID-19 closures. Big Sky’s finances backed up, he got behind on the rent and the bills, just like his colleagues in the industry. Without people coming into local restaurants, which had to shift to to-go food due to pandemic regulations, everyone’s bottom line is hurting.

Macmillen said that the restaurant community is truly close, especially in downtown SLO. As someone who lives downtown, she visits the central establishments somewhat regularly. She knows who will be at the hostess stand when she walks into Novo or who to expect at Big Sky during the lunch hour.

A LITTLE HELP Central Coast Restaurant Coalition, SLO, aims to raise funds for restaurants in need due to financial setbacks caused by the pandemic.

But COVID-19 changed that.

“If you are a part of the San Luis restaurant community, you can’t be kind of a part of it. It’s too intimate a group to be strangers and too close in proximity to be unfamiliar, right? And so, you understand, it’s not numbers or statistics, it’s people,” Macmillen said. “If Greg BOARD MEMBER Black Sheep Bar & Grill is a has to cut 30 percent of his staff, member of the Central Coast Restaurant Coalition, that doesn’t mean 30 percent of SLO, which hopes to help restaurants in SLO get his staff. It means Pedro’s out, back on their feet.

Although the group of restaurateurs “There’s a lot of underrepresented had a lot of decisions to make on how people who work in my industry, that’s for to proceed, Holt said the biggest hurdle sure,” Holt said. was the decision to collaborate with For now, the coalition is trying to come the United Way rather than forming a up with a blueprint that works for SLO separate nonprofit entity, which would and the area immediately surrounding have required a significant investment of the city—hopefully a model that works time and other resources to go through and can be replicated in other places in the application process. the county.

Homework. If you believed everything you see in the “news,” you’d be so full of despair you couldn’t move. Describe how you protect yourself.

Truthrooster@gmail.com ARIES LIBRA (March 21-April 19): Poet Ocean Vuong speaks of the Hawaiian word kipuka. It refers to a patch of earth that doesn’t get covered with lava when an active volcano exudes its molten material. “Before the lava descended,” Vuong writes, “that piece of land was insignificant, just another scrap in an endless mass of green.” But now that piece of land is special, having endured. I encourage you to identify your metaphorical equivalent of kipuka, Aries. It’s an excellent time to celebrate the power and luck and resilience that have enabled you to persevere.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look,” writes Taurus author Jodi Picoult. Luckily for you, Taurus, in the near future you’ll be prone to look in exactly those places—where no one else has thought to look. That means you’ll be extra likely to find useful, interesting, even extraordinary things that have mostly been hidden and unused. You may also discover some boring and worthless things, but the trade-off will be worth your effort. Congratulations in advance on summoning such brave curiosity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice,” said Gemini author Saul Bellow.

So if you have come here today to read my horoscopes, it’s possible that you’re seeking an accomplice to approve of you making a decision or a move that you have already decided to do. OK. I’ll be your accomplice. But as your accomplice, the first thing I’ll do is try to influence you to make sure your upcoming actions serve not only your own selfish interests (although there’s nothing wrong with that), but also serve the interests of people you care for. The weeks ahead will be a favorable time to blend self-interest and noble idealism.

(June 21-July 22): A character in Barbara Kingsolver’s novel The Lacuna is told to “go rub his soul against life.” Now I’ll advise you to do the same. Why? While it’s true that you have a beautiful soul, you sometimes get in the habit of hiding it away or keeping it secret. You feed it a wealth of dreams and emotions and longings, but may not go far enough in providing it with raw experience out in the messy, chaotic world. In my judgment, now is one of those times when you would benefit from rubbing your soul against life. Please note: I don’t mean you should go in search of rough, tough downers. Not at all. In fact, there are plenty of pleasurable, safe, educational ways to rub your soul against life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you love the work of self-help author Paulo Coelho, you might be inclined to adopt his motto as your own: “Being vulnerable is the best way to allow my heart to feel true pleasure.” But maybe you wouldn’t want to adopt his motto. After all, what he’s suggesting requires a great deal of courage and daring. Who among us finds it easy and natural to be soft and receptive and inviting? And yet, according to my analysis of the astrological omens, this is exactly what your assignment should be for the next two weeks. To help motivate yourself, remember the payoff described by Coelho: the possibility that your heart will feel true pleasure.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo author Michael Ondaatje celebrates “the hidden presence of others in us—even those we have known briefly. We contain them for the rest of our lives, at every border we cross.” As you approach your own upcoming border-crossing, dear Virgo, I encourage you to tune into memories about seven specific people who over the course of your life have provided you with the most joy and the most interesting lessons. Close your eyes for 20 minutes and imagine they are all gathered together with you in your favorite sanctuary. Remember in detail the blessings they bestowed on you. Give thanks for their influences, for the gifts they gave that have helped you become your beautiful self.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “A balance that does not tremble cannot weigh. A person who does not oscillate cannot live.” So wrote biochemist Erwin Chargaff, who did crucial research leading to the discovery of DNA’s double helix structure.

Since you’re the zodiac’s expert on balance and oscillation, and because these themes will be especially meaningful for you in the coming days, I’ll ask you to meditate on them with extra focus. Here’s my advice: To be healthy and resilient, you need to be aware of other possibilities besides those that seem obvious and simple and absolutely true. You need to consider the likelihood that the most correct answers are almost certainly those that are paradoxical and complicated and full of nuance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In her poem “Sandra,” Scorpio poet Ariana Reines testifies that she has too many feelings—and that’s not a problem. On the contrary. They are her wealth, she says, her “invisible splendor.” I invite you to regard your own “too many feelings” in the same way, especially in the coming weeks. You will have opportunities to harness your flood of feelings in behalf of transformative insights and holistic decision-making. Your motto: Feelings are healing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Historian and author Thomas Berry described “wildness” as the source of our “authentic spontaneities.” He said it’s “the wellspring of creativity” at the root of our lust for life. That’s a different definition from the idea that wildness is about being unruly, rough, and primitive. And Berry’s definition happens to be the one that should be central to your work and play in the coming weeks. Your assignment is to be wild: that is, to cultivate your authentic spontaneities; to home in on and nourish the creative wellspring of your lust for life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Some of the great discoveries in the history of physics have been made while the trailblazing physicists are lolling in bed or in the bathtub. They have done the research and carried out the rigorous thinking, and are rewarded with breakthroughs while relaxing. I think that will be your best formula for success in the coming weeks.

Important discoveries are looming. Interesting innovations are about to hatch. You’re most likely to gather them in if you work intensely on preparing the way for them, then go off and do something fun and rejuvenating.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): My typical horoscope is an average of 108 words long. In that limited space, I can’t possibly tell you all the themes and threads that will be active for you during the upcoming phase of your cycle. I have to make choices about what to include and what not to include. This time I’ll focus on the fact that you now have an opportunity to deepen your relationship with your sense of smell—and to purposefully nourish your sense of smell. Your homework: Decide on at least five scents with which you will cultivate an intimate, playful, delightful connection in the coming days. (PS: You may be surprised at how this practice will deepen your emotional connection with the world.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): No one had ever proven that there was such a thing as electromagnetic waves until Piscean physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894) did so in 1886. He was the innovator who first transmitted and received controlled radio waves. Alas, he didn’t think his breakthrough was useful.

In 1890, he confessed, “I do not think that the wireless waves I have discovered will have any practical application.”

But other scientists were soon capitalizing on his work to communicate long distances. Radio broadcasts were born. I will encourage you not to make a Hertzian-type mistake in the coming months. Always follow through on your initial labors. Have faith that the novelties you dream up will eventually have practical value. ∆
