Visit SLO CAL still plans to conduct Oceano Dunes economic impact study

D

FILE PHOTO BY STEVE E. MILLER

espite the California Coastal Commission’s recent vote to eliminate off-roading in the Oceano Dunes, South County organizations and governments still plan to hire a third party to assess the economic benefits of the park as it is now.

Visit SLO CAL and the South County Chambers of Commerce are partnering up to conduct another economic impact report on the Oceano Dunes District and the “indirect and induced profits” it brings to neighboring communities, San Luis Obispo County, and the California State Parks system.

The study, according to Visit SLO CAL President and CEO Chuck Davison, will also attempt to identify feasible strategies to mitigate losses amid the elimination of vehicle access in the park, and potential opportunities to repurpose the park in ways that could be beneficial to the economies of surrounding communities.

“In light of the recent California Coastal Commission decision, along with the upcoming closure of two of the largest economic drivers, Diablo Canyon and Phillips 66 Refinery, in our county, we believe the timeliness for this study is more important now than ever before,” Davison wrote in a statement to New Times.

“The results of the study will help us plan for the future of our county.”

Visit SLO CAL’s effort follows two other highly controversial studies that aimed to answer similar questions.

In 2018, Tahoe-based firm SMG Consulting released an economic report concluding that between July 2016 and September 2017, tourists to the Oceano Dunes District of California State Parks generated roughly $243 million in revenue for SLO County. The report was commissioned by State Parks, and off-roaders have touted it as proof that vehicle access at the park is necessary to the county’s economy.

Conservationists have criticized the report as biased and mathematically flawed.

An economic impact study conducted and published by a Cal Poly professor earlier this

year came to the opposite conclusion: A near sevenmonth ban on vehicles in the Oceano Dunes during the pandemic had no significant impacts on businesses or tourism in surrounding communities. The study, which was also criticized by one side and applauded by the other, found that Oceano’s transient occupancy tax revenue increased for several months during the closure compared to the same months the previous year, while off-roading was allowed.

Garrett ruled that the city’s actions during the permit review—depicted as nefarious in the lawsuit—fell within their legal discretion.

Perfect Union has already opened its dispensary doors in Morro Bay, while NHC’s website says its Morro Bay storefront is coming “soon.”

As NHC prevails in Morro Bay, it faces new litigation in San Miguel. A local group, Protect Our County, filed a lawsuit on March 11 to overturn SLO County’s recent approval of a NHC cannabis cultivation project on River Road.

The lawsuit alleges that SLO County violated the state’s Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by failing to adequately analyze the project’s groundwater, greenhouse gas, noise, odor, and light impacts.

On March 22, a SLO County judge ruled in favor of Natural Healing Center (NHC), Perfect Union, and the city of Morro Bay in a 2019 lawsuit that alleged the city had illegally favored NHC and Perfect Union during its permitting of cannabis dispenaries.

While the petitioner, Connected Morro Bay Blvd. LLC, argued that the city “rigged” its competitive application process to ensure NHC and Perfect Union won the two permits, Judge Ginger Garrett concluded that the suit did not prove bias by the city.

The alleged bias centered on the city allowing NHC and Perfect Union to revise

Paso Robles vineyard owner Stephanie Shakofsky, who appealed the project to county supervisors and is a member of Protect Our County, told New Times that SLO County is cutting corners on its environmental review of cannabis projects.

“The county is required to follow the law and they can’t skirt it,” Shakofsky said. “They are not taking the appropriate amount of time to actually analyze all of the environmental impacts.”

Shakofsky, who has sued to challenge prior cannabis project approvals on similar grounds, said many rural residents are not anti-cannabis but are opposed to having it grown commercially next to them.

After years of discussion, Morro Bay agrees to buy Dog Beach

The Morro Bay City Council decided to purchase Dog Beach and approved a sphere of influence amendment for five lots on March 23, with a goal of conservation.

Morro Bay has worked with Chevron, the former owner of the properties; Trust for Public Lands; the Cayucos Sanitary District; the Cayucos Land Conservancy; the Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County; Morro Bay Open Space Alliance; State Coastal Conservancy; and San Luis Obispo County for several years to establish a plan to preserve this strand of beach access.

City Councilmember Robert Davis has been a part of those discussions since the opportunity presented itself to the city years ago.

During the March 23 City Council meeting, Davis, now in his fifth year on the council, said that he made a promise to himself that he would ensure Dog Beach and other proposed lots in this project would be under sustainable management.

He said he was proud to see the preservation project come to fruition.

The council approved 4-1, with council member Jeff Heller voting against the proposal, to purchase Dog Beach, authorize staff to submit an application to the SLO Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to initiate detachment proceedings for a lot owned by the Cayucos Sanitary District, and approved an amendment for five lots above Panorama Drive that would add it to the city’s sphere of influence.

Acquiring the property will cost the city $338,050; however, the State Coastal Conservancy is contributing $150,000 and $188,050 is coming from the Land Conservancy of SLO County. According to a staff report, the city will be responsible for payment of certain standard closing costs and related costs for submission of the various LAFCO applications.

During public comment, San Luis Obispo County 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson said the city is on the threshold of a really important step toward completing a remarkable project.

“There are so many important assets that are ready to be protected as we pursue a shared conservation vision.

I mean, just think about it, we have a chance to put more than a mile of the California Coast into public ownership, and I think this opportunity is extraordinary,” Gibson said. “Within that mile, we have, of course, one of the jewels of the North Coast, which is Dog Beach.

The county is proud to own about half of the northern mountains, and we’ve been working in close partnership with the city to make sure that we come up with a coordinated management plan that keeps the uses of the beach going as they have.”

Police report rise in catalytic converter thefts

Local police are trying to get a handle on an unprecedented increase in catalytic converter thefts over recent months, as thieves nationwide are stealing the emissions-control car part for their precious metals at alarming levels.

In San Luis Obispo, citizens have reported 73 stolen converters since Jan. 1, or almost one per day, according to the SLO Police Department. Thefts are occuring day and night, all across the city, and mostly in residential neighborhoods, police said. Six were stolen the week of March 15—all from Toyota Priuses.

“It’s spread out all over,” SLO Police Lt. Robert Cudworth told New Times. “The current numbers are way higher than anything that we’ve seen recently.”

The problem isn’t contained to SLO. Converters dissappeared from six school vans in a Paso Robles Joint Unified School District vehicle yard in early March. Morro Bay police issued an alert in February about a local uptick. SLO County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Tony Cipolla said unincorproated communities have also been hit hard in recent months.

According to national news reports, catalytic converter theft is surging due to the part’s high-valued precious metals, like palladium and rhodium. The global push to lower vehicle emmissions—which catalytic converters help do—is also driving up their value to record levels.

Converters are an easy target for theft due to their exposed location under vehicles, and police say theives are using hand tools like reciprocating saws to quickly remove the part.

Cudworth encouraged residents to keep an eye and ear out for suspicious activity near parked cars to help catch the theives.

Such an alert citizen led to three arrests in February.

“Somebody heard something that didn’t sound quite right, called us, officers saw the car leaving Foothill and California, did a traffic stop, and arrested three people,” Cudworth said. “They actually had the [allegedly stolen] catalytic converters in the car.”

Replacing a stolen converter can cost car owners several thousand dollars depending on the vehicle. Police are encouraging locals to park their cars in garages whenever possible and consider installing protective plates around their converter or setting up motion-sensor alarms.

Cudworth added that raising more awareness about the problem could help stave off thefts, too.

“The more people are aware of it, the more proactive they are, the better off we’ll be,” he said. “Hopefully it’ll drive the thieves out of the area.”

SLO County plans more COVID-19 vaccine clinics for ag workers

SLO County Public Health innoculated 640 agricultural workers at its first vaccine clinic on March 19, with a goal of ensuring equitable and efficient access to COVID-19 vaccines.

The SLO County Farm Bureau drafted the plans for the vaccine clinic, which were approved by the vaccine task force in late February.

Farm Bureau Executive Director Brent

6 • New Times • March 25 - April 1, 2021 • www.newtimesslo.com

Burchett described the first clinic day as emotional, especially when buses and vans began arriving and workers started to line up at the South County Regional Center.

“We’ve been working on this event for so long, and to see it finally come together for our farmworkers was special,” he told New Times. “I think everyone was a halfhour early.”

County staff, agricultural employers, Promotores Collaborative of SLO County, and Herencia Indígena were on site to help participants fill out their medical screening forms. Burchett estimates that nearly 20 multilingual county staff and volunteers were present.

Music played in the observation area where participants sat for about 15 minutes after getting the vaccine and snacks were provided. Overall, he said, the event was upbeat and positive.

Michelle Shoresman, Public Health’s spokesperson, said the event was extremely successful. The county is planning on conducting these events, alternating between North and South County—Paso Robles and Arroyo Grande—each Friday over the next several weeks, she said.

According to a press release, health educators visited work sites prior to the event to share vaccine information, building on the ongoing work of SLO County’s Farm Worker Outreach Task Force. The county established the task force in collaboration with agricultural workers and health care partners to provide COVID-19 prevention information throughout the pandemic.

Farmers and farm labor contractors were also essential in launching the first clinic. Had these employers not encouraged their workers to show up and not provided education about the vaccine, Burchett said he doesn’t believe the clinic would have been nearly as successful.

“A healthy workforce is critical to our agricultural industry. We cannot operate without farmworkers,” he said. “We never stopped farming during the pandemic.

So, many times over this past year we’ve heard ‘thank you, farmworkers,’ but today I think we truly showed our gratitude for their work.”

Employers and employees are relieved about their inoculations, which Burchett said is just another step—albeit a giant one—in getting through the pandemic.

“We still have to wear masks, we still have to limit exposure and transmission, but we’re getting closer to being back to normal,” he said.

On March 19, Gov. Gavin Newsom also announced that the state expected to eliminate vaccine priority tiers in May, opening eligibility to persons 16 and older.

Shoresman said that regardless, Public Health will continue to focus additional attention on vaccinating groups that have been adversely affected by COVID-19.

“Outreach to disadvantaged groups has always been fundamental to Public Health work, so we are continuously seeking ways we can better serve these groups,” she said.

Grover Beach shows support for dispatch partnership with Pismo

Both Pismo Beach and Grover Beach have agreed to move forward with a plan to consolidate their emergency dispatch services, a move that officials say could

improve emergency response strategies and potentially save money for both cities in the future.

At a meeting on March 22, Grover Beach City Council showed enthusiastic support for a proposal to fold the city’s dispatch services into those already offered by Pismo, allowing Grover to reduce its staffing levels and repurpose its dispatch facility into much-needed police briefing space. If Arroyo Grande decides to join the partnership when its dispatch contract with the SLO County Sheriff’s Office ends, city staff said that South County would have a true regional dispatch center.

“I think taking a regional approach makes a lot of sense, given the opportunity for better coordination between the two cities and possibly three in the future,” Grover Beach City Councilmember Anna Miller said at the meeting. “Having two dispatchers available at the same time equates to better coverage and results in safer communities for us all. So I am in complete support of the consolidation proposal.”

Through the proposed contract, dispatch services for Grover and Pismo would be conducted at Pismo’s emergency communication center effective July 1, while Grover’s would be transformed into a police briefing room and emergency backup facility. Both Grover and Pismo currently employ six dispatchers each, and through the partnership, that would be reduced to nine total positions. Grover Beach would employ four dispatchers at a cost of $540,000 in fiscal year 2022, and Pismo Beach would employ five for $637,150. Although that was estimated to save Grover around $209,730 in fiscal year 2022 alone, the city plans to retain two full-time records employees in an effort to keep the records department open to the public seven days a week.

With those employees on board, the consolidation will actually cost Grover Beach an extra $47,931 in fiscal year 2021-22.

“So it is not at this time a true cost savings,” Grover Beach City Manager Matt Bronson said, “but it’s a nominal amount to pay more for a higher level of services.”

Regionalized dispatch services have proven to reduce risks and improve efficiency among involved agencies, according to a Grover Beach staff report, and there’s been a push nationwide for about the last two decades to consolidate neighboring emergency dispatch centers.

Grover and Pismo have mulled over the idea of joining forces many times in the past, and when the Grover Beach Police Department experienced a staffing shortage in its communications department in August 2020, it requested part-time dispatch services from Pismo Beach. The cities saw the initial monthto-month dispatch service agreement as an opportunity to test out the longdiscussed consolidation. While working together for a limited time, Grover and Pismo both found that police response times and strategies became increasingly efficient and safe.

“Calls for service don’t just stop in one city,” Bronson said, “particularly in our Five Cities county area where something could happen in one city and then it quickly spills over into another city.”

Grover Beach City Council is slated to vote on the official contract between the city and Pismo Beach on April 26. ∆ —Kasey Bubnash

Moving on

THE END OF AN ERA The California Coastal Commission unanimously voted to ban offroading in the Oceano Dunes SVRA, a mandate that will require State Parks to eliminate most vehicle access in the dunes on its own accord within the next three years. The decision puts to rest a 40-yearold debate over vehicle access in the dunes.

A Coastal Commission decision to eliminate off-roading in the Oceano Dunes brings heartbreak, joy, and an end to 40 years of uncertainty

T

he final moments of a nearly 12-hour California Coastal Commission meeting on March 18— where commissioners voted to eliminate off-roading and most other vehicle access in the Oceano Dunes within the next three years—were crushing for the SLO County and California residents who’ve long spent their weekends and family vacations zipping around the dunes.

It was a long-awaited moment of relief and celebration for many others, who have argued for years that off-roading in the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA) disrupts sensitive habitats, culturally important lands, and negatively impacts the economic vitality and health of neighboring communities.

For South County Chambers of Commerce President and CEO Jocelyn Brennan, the decision felt bittersweet. It puts an end to a decades-old tradition in SLO County, a unique pastime that has garnered love and adoration from those near and far and brought much-needed revenue to Oceano for generations. It’s an activity that, in all of California, is only really offered here.

But while Brennan said she’s concerned and sad for the South County business owners who depend on off-roading tourists to stay afloat, she’s simultaneously relieved to see the 40-year battle over vehicle access in the dunes laid to rest.

It’s an opportunity, finally, for everyone to move on. Rebuild. Heal.

“I feel like it’s been hard for the businesses to have this hanging over their heads for so long,” Brennan told New Times. “Now we know what we’re dealing with, and we just have to figure it out.”

The historic Coastal Commission decision still allows for street-legal vehicles and some night driving on the beach between West Grand and Pier avenues, where up to 500 drive-up campsites can continue to operate indefinitely.

The Coastal Commission also voted to close the park’s Pier Avenue entrance, but extended the closure deadline from July 1 of this year to July 1, 2022.

Though commissioners said they were

moved by the many comments they heard from off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts vehemently opposed to the ban, all agreed that OHV use in the Oceano Dunes is not consistent with the Coastal Act or the park’s designation as an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area.

“It’s clear how impacts occurring at the park are having a disproportionate impact on adjacent and downwind underserved communities,” Commissioner Linda Escalante said at the meeting. “It is clear that Oceano, Nipomo, Guadalupe, and Santa Maria qualify as [environmental justice] communities that are experiencing these adverse effects of pollution. And it is clear that prohibiting those activities would reduce or eliminate the environmental burden on these communities.”

It’s not the conclusion that some business owners and residents in South County had hoped for, but it at least offers some semblance of closure and certainty to a community that Grover Beach Mayor Jeff Lee said has been living in limbo for decades.

“Whether you agree or disagree with the decision, there’s a direction,” Lee told New Times. “There’s a scope that as a city we can work with. We were going to be able to work with either choice, but certainty is really going to help.”

Lee recently helped draft a March 12 letter to the Coastal Commission in which Grover Beach criticized portions of the plan to eliminate off-roading in the SVRA, noting the potential for major traffic impacts resulting from the Pier Avenue entrance closure and requesting economic assistance for businesses impacted by the prohibition. Grover Beach didn’t take a hard stance for or against vehicle access, instead asking for a permanent decision above all else.

That, Lee said, is because the uncertainty surrounding the dunes access issue has had lasting impacts on the Grover Beach area. It’s made it hard to attract new businesses and for existing businesses to plan for the future. With the fate of the SVRA always in question, Lee said corporations and entrepreneurs are often wary of setting up shop in South County.

“It’s like when you start to have conversations with developers and those interested in making an investment in Grover, invariably the question either to the city or to the chamber of commerce or to other business organizations is, ‘Hey, what’s the status of the dunes?’” Lee said.

Grover Beach actually had to partner with the South County Chambers of Commerce to help attract new businesses to the area, which is likely not an issue for many other coastal towns. The South County Chambers is also working to diversify Grover Beach’s economy, a move that Lee said was partly an attempt to prepare for the potential elimination of off-roading at the dunes.

A lot of existing businesses are heavily impacted by off-roading tourists too, including ATV rental companies, gas stations, grocery stores, and even Nan’s Pre-Owned Books, a used bookstore that just happens to be situated next to a Laundromat frequented by campers. For those business owners, former Grover Beach City Councilmember Mariam Shah said the temporary nature of vehicle access in the dunes has made it hard to plan ahead.

You can’t expect a business like BJ’s ATV Rentals to spend money updating and beautifying its facility when it’s under the constant threat of closure, Shah said. Rugged Radios, which sells intercoms and headsets that off-roaders use to communicate with each other while riding, recently debated whether to expand its business in Arroyo Grande.

Eventually it did. Shah wonders what will become of that now.

Bruce Van Vort is the owner of Fin’s Bar & Grill, a beachside seafood restaurant situated next to the SVRA

entrance on West Grand Avenue. Due in part to its location, many of Van Vort’s customers are off-roaders and campers.

“I’ve talked to OHV riders today,” Van Vort told New Times the day after the Coastal Commission’s vote, “and, I mean, they’re in tears.”

Though the Coastal Commission’s decision is about the strongest stance any agency has taken on the matter in years, Van Vort said there’s still a lot pending, making it difficult for him to prepare for the looming closure. The details of the phase-out plan and Pier Avenue closure remain to be seen, and the Friends of the Oceano Dunes, an organization that supports OHV access in the dunes, is gathering support and donations online to fight the ban in court.

If that lawsuit isn’t successful and off-roading is banned, Van Vort said one thing is for certain.

“It’ll have a tremendous impact on a lot of businesses,” he said. “There will be businesses that’ll have to shut down.

Businesses that’ll have to find different ways of operating.”

Still, he said, he’s confident that the South County community will get through it together. He’d like to see a boardwalk and pier installed, and some kind of financial assistance program to help the most severely hit businesses.

If business owners have learned anything throughout the last year, it’s how to think outside the box.

“Anybody who survived COVID knows how to deal with a crisis,” Van Vort said. ∆ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@newtimesslo.com.

Wall of protection Bikers Against Child Abuse continues supporting victims amid the pandemic

W

hen Santa Maria mother Nancy’s daughter, Sarah, was 9 years old, she told her mother something that would immediately turn their worlds upside down: Sarah’s paternal grandfather was sexually abusing her. (Nancy and Sarah’s names have been changed to protect their anonymity.)

“I was obviously not prepared for that,” Nancy said.

Nancy believed her daughter’s accusations without hesitation, and called law enforcement. Sarah, in fourth grade at the time, made the police report with her mom. The perpetrator was arrested and jailed, but the horror wasn’t over.

“The court process takes a long time,” Nancy said. “I think it was actually 17 months … before we actually went to court.”

As the family awaited their date at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse, Nancy said there was one organization in particular that helped Sarah get through the hardest time in her life: Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA), an international nonprofit organization of motorcyclists with a mission to create a safer environment for abused children.

BACA has chapters all over the world, and its Ventura and Atascadero chapters serve victims in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.

With the COVID-19 pandemic cutting many children off from the teachers, school nurses, and counselors who would typically report suspicions of child abuse, organizations like BACA are more vital than ever, said Ann McCarty, the executive director of the Lompoc-based North County Rape Crisis & Child Protection Center.

“We said from the very beginning [of the pandemic], not having our mandated reporters out in the community, not having our children in schools, there was this overwhelming fear of what was going to be happening,” McCarty said. “We knew the abuse was going to continue.”

In 2020, despite reporting channels being adversely impacted by the pandemic, McCarty’s organization still saw a 16.5 percent increase in the number of people it had first contact with and a 32.8 percent increase in the number of services provided when compared with 2019.

And the abuse, McCarty said, was worse than in the past.

“The level of violence against the children had risen—cases were horrific,” she said.

As an agency that serves child abuse victims, the North County Rape Crisis & Child Protection Center can refer children to BACA who need their services.

BACA member Titus, a Santa Barbara County resident who rides with the Ventura chapter and serves as public relations officer, explained that all BACA members only use their “road names”—in his case, Titus—when helping the children.

“Once we as individuals make this commitment to BACA and our kids, we

We’re here to support this kid.’”

Members also brought Sarah a special BACA vest, and “patched her in,” making her a member of the BACA family.

“They told her that she was part of their family now, and she didn’t need to be FOR THE KIDS Bikers Against Child Abuse member afraid,” Nancy said as Crash, who rides with the organization’s Atascadero chapter, she held back tears. gives a presentation at the Lompoc Boys and Girls Club.

Strokes&Plugs

ack in March 2020, at the start of COVID-19, the San Luis Obispo Food Bank and SLO County worked together to launch a program to deliver groceries directly to the homes of medically vulnerable residents.

The Food Bank brought the bags of food to drop-off sites, and SLO County employees drove them the rest of the way to doorsteps. Demand for the service increased immediately, as homebound seniors sought to protect themselves from the virus.

“We saw the program go from 50 households to almost 1,000 per week within a month or month and a half,” said Andrea Keisler, director of programs at the Food Bank. “The partnership really showed us what that need looked like, and what the logistics looked like.”

When SLO County discontinued the service in July 2020, the Food Bank and a coalition of nonprofits across the county attempted to carry it on. But while deliveries continued, organizers knew the setup wasn’t sustainable.

On March 18, the Food Bank announced the beginnings of a new partnership with Ride-On Transportation and Wilshire Community Services that aims to fortify and expand the popular program.

Thanks to grants from the Community Foundation of SLO County and Feeding America, the three agencies say they are now equipped to deliver hundreds of grocery bags every week to local homes.

Keisler said that direct food deliveries have long been a need in SLO County that COVID-19 just shined a bright light on.

“Even before COVID, we were aware of this type of need in our community,” she said. “We have clients who can’t make it to our normal neighborhood food distribution sites because they have transportation issues or mobility issues.

We live in a rural community—it’s often necessary to have transportation.”

Mark Shaffer, executive director of Ride-On Transportation, said that the Food Bank’s proposal aligned perfectly with the nonprofit’s mission of providing doorstep transportation. Under this new model, though, Ride-On’s shuttles are delivering groceries, not people.

“We’ve got drivers, particularly in the middle of the day, that are available, so it worked out logistically,” Shaffer said.

“We use our scheduling software to just schedule the deliveries like we were picking someone up.”

To be eligible for the direct delivery

Get groceries

To sign up for weekly grocery deliveries from the SLO Food Bank and Ride-On Transportation, contact Wilshire Community Services at (805) 547-7025, Ext. 2216.

Recipients must meet the following eligibility criteria: be at least 60 years old; meet income restrictions; and be homebound due to a medical condition, lack of transportation, or health issue that makes going out a risk due to COVID-19.

service, residents must: be at least 60 years old; meet income restrictions; and be homebound due to a medical condition, transportation issue, or health issue that makes going out a risk due to COVID-19.

Qualified community members or their primary caretakers can reach out to Wilshire Community Services— which is running administration for the program—at (805) 547-7025, Ext. 2216, or email jkaplan@wilshirehcs.org to get signed up. The weekly grocery bags include shelf-stable foods, fresh produce, and protein.

Shaffer said that the program, which already launched in South County, has been running “incredibly smoothly.” The network is expected to soon expand to include 10 shuttle routes that cover all of SLO County. Both Shaffer and Keisler said that the grocery delivery service— and its setup as a partnership between three stalwart nonprofits—is unique in the U.S. “Nobody else has it,” Shaffer said. “It’s something that all of us are willing to do forever. I’m hoping we’ll continue to get grant money in the future to help us grow this and sustain it.”

Fast fact

• Since it launched at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the SLO County UndocuSupport network has raised $435,000 to assist more than 600 local immigrant families. Funds have helped pay for rent and utility bills, transportation, groceries, and health needs. According to UndocuSupport, as of March 18 an estimated 9,000 undocumented residents in SLO County missed out on federal relief aid. UndocuSupport aims to fill the gap, and officials said it will soon be awarding “significant grants” to local groups serving immigrants. Locals can donate to UndocuSupport by visiting sloundocusupport.org/donate. ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson wrote this week’s Strokes and Plugs. Send tidbits to strokes@newtimesslo.com.

BORN: 1937 · HAIFA, PALESTINE • DECEASED: JANUARY 23, 2021 · SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA

Samira Al-Hadad S

amira Al-Hadad of San Luis Obispo, California, succumbed to COVID-19 on the morning of January 23, 2021. Her storied life ended, and she joined her father (Spiridon), mother (Salima), and three sisters (Jeanette, Sarah, and Mary) at what is surely a lively table full of hugs and heavenly laughter.

Samira spent her later years under the outstanding care of her physician Dr. Hilty and the dedicated staff at the Post Acute Transitional Care Center, with daily visits and ministrations by her children, large extended family, and dear friends.

It was a team and community that ensured a rewarding existence. Her husband Sabah regaled Samira with fanciful stories on his daily visits, often ending with a cliff-hanger so she would anticipate the next chapter.

Samira’s own life was full of stories that could arguably eclipse any that Sabah could spin.

She was born in Haifa, Palestine, in 1937. When Samira was a youngster, it became clear that her family’s future—and that of Palestine—was unsafe and uncertain, so her family left permanently to their land in Lebanon. Her primary education was in a Lebanese Catholic boarding school with her younger sister Mary, after which she was sponsored to immigrate to the United States.

Samira proudly earned her United States citizenship and worked as a nurse in Texas, where she met her husband Sabah. They moved to San Luis Obispo in 1963 when Sabah became a professor at Cal Poly SLO. She continued her work as a nurse well into motherhood.

Samira was renown within the family for her open arms, open home, and open heart, always there to lend an ear, a cup of coffee, and a room.

A regular fixture at the Saturday Farmers’ Market, Samira arrived early to purchase flowers each week.

She delighted in creating fresh sprays for her home and designing and delivering arrangements to family and friends. Samira was a font of floral knowledge. She knew how to grow houseplants from cuttings, avocado trees from seeds, and how to care for African Violets properly.

She exemplified stopping to smell the roses, and everyone took pleasure, as she did, in the intoxicating scent of the varieties she grew, which certainly reminded her of her childhood in Lebanon.

Samira was an amazing chef with a willingness to share and teach regional family recipes, and a woman with a productive green thumb who could nimbly climb trees at harvest time. She nurtured all manner of

fruits and vegetables, and her huge garden thrived. She delighted in the “surprise” crops that grew, often results of what she composted. As she did with her heart and home, she shared the garden bounty with her family and neighbors.

She is also remembered as having a soft spot for her darling puppies, each of whom had a distinct personality that Samira was willing to indulge as only a true dog-lover could. From “puppy-soccer” to “bury-the-sock,” Samira, her family, and all visitors to their home couldn’t help but smile when playing with Bosa, Jolie, Gigi, and Lady.

Samira was a mother who reveled in her children’s talents and aspirations and encouraged them to find within themselves strong footing, independent thought, and meaningful pursuits. She was known by her siblings as the fiercely protective sister, a role she took seriously and fulfilled masterfully. Her role was so cherished that it was sought after by her siblings’ offspring, who contacted their wise Auntie for everything from mundane topics to serious advice about assimilating into American culture and the eligibility of marriage partners. Her wisdom was dispensed openly and with blunt honesty, usually beginning with a knowing tilt of the head and a, “You know, honey,”—words that each of us wish we could hear one more time.

Samira is survived by her husband of 61 years, Sabah; her devoted daughter Jenann (married to Bill McLennan); her beloved son Sig; and two sources of joy and pride—her granddaughters Catie and Maddie. She also leaves behind three adored brothers and their loving wives: John Atiya (Diane), Tony Atieh (Claire), and Melad Atiya (Zeina). They will be counted on by Samira’s 21 nieces and nephews, their spouses, and their children to assume the protective and advice role vacated

by Samira.

In keeping with current health guidelines, Samira will have a private memorial service and will be buried at the Old Mission cemetery in San Luis Obispo, California. •

The year the music died Diablo Canyon Power Plant maintenance is suspicious, as the facility will be closing soon

T

wo years ago was the year the music died for California renewables, as they neared their limit of efficient production. According California Energy Commission data, in 2019 in-state renewables only contributed to about 23 percent of total California power consumption, barely a percent or so more than in 2018, and even that was less than the increase in renewables capacity for the same period. In that same year, according to the California Independent System Operator, in-state renewables overproduction (power that could not be used at the time it was produced) was double that of the year previous. But it could have been a lot worse.

For some reason, someone decided that 2019 would be a good time to greatly increase maintenance activities at Diablo Canyon Power Plant even though it is scheduled to close. This resulted in a series of shutdowns throughout the year amounting to the equivalent of taking a reactor offline for some four months. In 2020 they did the same, leaving Diablo Canyon’s vaunted banner of reliability in tatters by dropping production by more than 10 percent … for two straight years. By pure coincidence, this also had the effect of substantially reducing the level of renewable overproduction in 2019 and 2020. Even at that, renewables overproduction climbed yet another 65 percent in 2020.

In summary, recent official data confirms the fact that California renewables will never be able to efficiently serve much more than a quarter of California’s annual power demand without efficient energy storage. But efficient energy storage is out of the question. In order to store intermittent renewable energy, you must expand renewable capacity to collect additional energy for storage. For example, for every solar panel directly producing power, you would need at least three more to collect energy for storage to use when the sun is not available. The cost of the redundant capacity along with the cost of storage (especially short-lived battery technologies, and concurrent with increased demand for electric vehicle batteries) would inflate the cost of renewable energy by an order of magnitude, and the resultant scramble for finite resources would have a devastating effect on the environment.

Besides, if energy storage is the answer, it should have been built yesterday.

Now this maintenance business at Diablo Canyon could be legit. I mean the place is old and it could very well be falling apart. Still, it is very unusual see so much being spent on maintenance of a facility that is on the verge of closing. On the other hand, it could be an attempt on the part of public officials, with the co-

operation of PG&E, to delay, obscure, or otherwise cover up the now-indisputable failings of renewables, so as to allow the continuation of wasteful renewable subsidies and to justify our exorbitant utility rates which are among the highest in the country, while in the end natural gas will get to pick up the slack. You decide. And, by the way, to those of you out there that are PG&E shareholders—a drop in production is a drop in profits—so you might want to call your lawyers. ∆ Mark Henry from San Luis Obispo likes to write about nuclear energy.

Letters Haaland is a great choice for the U.S. Department of Interior

My people, of the Northern Chumash tribe of Central California, have lived on our land for millennia, but we have not always had rights, sovereignty, or access to that land. We’re not alone. The majority of tribal nations have found themselves at one point or another denied access to the decision-making on their lands by nontribal governments. I cannot stress enough what the historical confirmation of U.S. Rep. Deb Haaland to be secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior means to me, my tribe, and so many others.

I was fortunate enough to meet Rep. Haaland once. After a traditional exchange where I gave her sage and a baby abalone necklace, she inquired about the Chumash peoples and tribes and told me about her tribe, the Laguna Pueblo. We spoke about my tribe’s efforts to have our ancestral waters protected by designating them a National Marine Sanctuary. I told her my people have witnessed ocean acidification in the Chumash heritage waters, which interferes with abalone’s ability to form hard shells as they grow.

Throughout our conversation, Rep. Haaland displayed deep empathy for the needs of all Indigenous people, including the importance of land and water sovereignty. She also spoke of the need to act urgently on climate change and its devastating impacts.

Indigenous people are by definition the local experts and should be leading the protection of our lands. Rep. Haaland not only understands this, but embodies it.

She will make a phenomenal leader of the Interior Department.

Let’s close down ski resorts, too

If we close down the Oceano Dunes to recreational vehicles, we need to shut down all California downhill ski resorts as well. They are a blight on the landscape—wide swaths of forest devoid of trees that caused increased erosion.

They are also big contributors to climate change, needing large amounts of power to run ski lifts and hospitality services.

The private vehicles used to commute to the slopes help exacerbate the problem.

They are dangerous, causing many injuries and deaths each year. They only serve a small minority of our population, mostly the affluent. We need to dismantle them, revegetate the forests, and leave the natural landscape open to hikers.

No more trucking!

Last year, on the first day of spring, an oil tanker truck crashed on Highway 166 east of Santa Maria, spilling 6,700 gallons of crude oil and fuel into the Cuyama River. The driver was speeding and is finally being prosecuted by the Santa Barbara County district attorney.

ExxonMobil recently revived plans to send 70 such trucks daily, on the 101, from its Gaviota facility to the Nipomo refinery. If that doesn’t work out, they will then send the trucks barreling down the 166 to their Kern County pipeline. Those 70 trucks would then return to pick up the next day’s load.

Will the county and the state sanction this major pollution process and oil spills waiting to happen? For 30 years, this oil was piped north in substandard and neglected pipelines until the Refugio Beach oil spill shut down the pipeline.

Do the citizens and environment of Santa Barbara County need to bear the pollution and accident risk of this oil trucking so ExxonMobil can avoid the consequences of the Refugio spill and make a short-term profit?

Please contact your county supervisor and state Assembly and Senate members, and tell them to stop this dangerous and climate-killing project!

Unity and complacency

Change and accountability go hand in hand. I work for a local gymnastics facility, and I see this daily. Students try a skill, receive a correction, and are responsible for applying it in their next attempt. As they improve, so does the team. The same is true in life. Our actions have consequences. We are responsible for observing them and applying those lessons so we can move forward.

Today, “unity” is a buzzword. But it’s important to realize that unity doesn’t lessen our individual burden to inspire change—it magnifies it. “Unity” conveys a sense of a monolithic whole. The danger in that idea is that we just have to go with the flow. “I don’t have to create change; the group will do it for me.” It’s like the gymnast who doesn’t practice perfect basics, yet expects their team to win.

I will not allow the thought of unity to lull me into complacency. The future is right around the corner, and I long for it to be bright. This can only happen if each of us is accountable for our own efforts to affect change in ourselves and those around us. So go out and grow!

R

enewable energy has been the poster child for politicians and celebrity personages for the last few years to replace fossil fuel energy sources.

In their quest to rid the Earth of the wellpaying, job-producing, general-fund potof-gold fossil fuel industry, they think that solar/wind power is the answer.

The primary justification for their concern is that temperatures have been creeping up, and when this data is used to feed computer models, they conclude that drastic measures are needed to save the Earth. The current administration in Washington, D.C., wants to commit trillions of tax dollars to the Green New Deal as a means to “solve the problem.”

Their proposed remedies fail to recognize that there were dramatic changes in the climate thousands of years before the union of Adam and Eve evolved into 7.8 billion humans crawling the Earth and creating their resultant pollution. The melting of the ice cap that covered Canada and the northern tier of the United States thousands of years ago is a perfect example; the result was likely the creation of the Grand Canyon.

When people first began collecting weather data, they used instrumentation that was developed centuries ago. All this data was dutifully recorded, and eventually the National Weather Service was created in 1870 to collect and analyze the information. The National Weather Service would then try to predict the weather with simple instruments and reliance on human interpretation of the data to guess what tomorrow’s weather would look like.

But these measurements are relatively new when compared to the meteorological life of the Earth. As public awareness evolves, many people find that it is becoming more and more obvious that predictions of doom and gloom by environmental activists is probably a false alarm based on tainted and frequently inaccurate analysis, faulty computer models, or purposely misrepresented information.

The use of core samples taken from either the Earth or glacial fields is the most reliable way to determine how the Earth’s climate has evolved since it was created. The Earth is still evolving; witness the earthquakes that are recorded daily, volcanic eruptions, and “historic” weather heat/cold/rain/snow events that are recorded annually.

But is their dream really very evolved if it’s to be independent from a form of energy production that has existed since people lived in caves? Even cave dwellers realized that a warm fire powered by fossil fuels (coal) or wood was an effective and reliable way to heat their homes and warm their food.

Many of the supporters of solar/wind power travel from place to place in private jets, own large estates that are energy hogs, and drive or are driven in large

luxury vehicles. In other words, they are large consumers of fossil fuel energy. Their estates have fuel-powered generators that are activated when the lights go out.

They use cellphones, watch videos, cook with microwaves, and own clothing that’s currently made from petroleum-based materials; are they willing to do without these conveniences? The batteries used to power the vehicle of their dreams also require a considerable amount of energy and precious metals to produce.

For the last couple of years, California has experienced power brown/blackouts several times a year. Last year, both PG&E and Southern California Edison implemented precautionary power shutdowns because their poorly maintained power lines were the cause of several large and very destructive wildfires throughout the state.

This year, wind turbines shut down in Texas because blades were covered with ice, and the motors stopped spinning for the same reason. Millions who had converted to all-electric homes were left without a heat and light source during blizzard conditions for days.

All-electric homes were touted as the “thing of the future” in the late 1950s and many housing tracts, some here in my hometown of Lompoc, were constructed without natural gas service. The people who live in these homes will tell you that their electric bills are many times higher than those of their neighbors who have natural gas appliances.

Now California and nearby Santa Barbara want to require all-electric homes for all new construction; they also want to eliminate the use of fossil fuel energy. On a national level, the Biden administration is willing to try and spend trillions of dollars to support green energy, a path riddled with failures during the Obama administration.

Renewable energy makes sense only as an augmentation source for fossil fuel energy, which has been proven as a reliable source for more than 100 years.

The arguments in favor of relying totally on renewable energy are hollow and when put under a microscope fall apart easily. ∆ Ron Fink is filling in this week for our regular Rhetoric and Reason writer.

Opinion

The Shredder

Fait accompli?

Y ou think the fight over off-roading is over? It’s not over! You’re going to have to pry those steering wheels and handlebars out of their cold, dead hands!

“It’s a sad day for users of the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area [ODSVRA],” intoned the Facebook page of the nonprofit group Friends of the Oceano Dunes, which represents 28,000 off-roaders. “We are waiting on the final written decision from the California Coastal Commission, but we are prepared for the legal battle ahead. Are you willing to stand with us?”

In case you haven’t heard, the 40-year battle between the commission and the California Department of State Parks over off-roading in the Oceano Dunes is about to enter a new stage—the litigation stage!

Don’t tell that to South County Chambers of Commerce President and CEO Jocelyn Brennan or Grover Beach Mayor Jeff Lee, who think the battle is over.

“Now we know what we’re dealing with, and we just have to figure it out,” Brennan said.

“Whether you agree or disagree with the decision, there’s a direction,” Lee said.

“There’s a scope that as a city we can work with. We were going to be able to work with either choice, but certainty is really going to help.”

Is it certain? Not if the euphemistically named Friends of the Ocean Dunes has its way in court. First, are you friends of the dunes or friends of the people driving over the dunes? Wouldn’t friends of the dunes be more interested in its inhabitants, such as the Western snowy plover and the California least tern.

It’s already the least? Give that tern a freaking break!

Basically, the Coastal Commission ruled that the 8 or so miles of the ODSVRA must be returned to a more natural state, meaning it must be made more like the other 832 miles of California coastline. I know, that sounds sort of boring. I mean, sheesh, the offroaders only had 8 tiny miles out of 840, after all.

According to commissioners, they want to make the park more accessible to working-class families looking for low-cost recreational activities, but is that what’s actually going to happen? Instead, might the area instead get the gentrification treatment, making it all posh and snooty?

Grover City already changed its name to Grover Beach, and we all know what a classy joint it’s become, right?

I’m guessing the communities downwind of the area will be thankful of their improved air quality, but South County businesses that cater to the offroaders will have to adapt or die. Change is hard.

This change has been coming since 1982, when the Coastal Commission issued a “temporary” permit that gave State Parks officials 18 months figure out how to manage the ODSVRA, a task they’ve yet to complete. Now the reaper has come to collect … barring litigation.

“Psst. Yeah, over here. In the market for some precious metals? Take a look at this selection.”

If you’re wondering what’s up with all the catalytic converter thefts in San Luis Obispo as of late—six last week and 73 since Jan. 1—let me break it down for you. On average, between 3 to 7 grams of platinum are in a standard catalytic converter. Yesterday’s price for platinum was $37.39 per gram, so we’re talking about something between $112.17 to $261.73.

There’s also about 2 grams of palladium, which was $85.01 per gram yesterday, meaning about $170. Now we’re up to between $282 to $431.

The real money’s in the rhodium, which yesterday was going for $919.51 per gram, and with just under half a gram per converter, add on a cool $400. The right converter can yield a sweet $800!

A scrapyard will pay you about $450 for a Prius catalytic converter, which is why they’re most often stolen, or on average $200 for other converters, and you don’t need to worry about

harvesting the precious metals.

You’d think there’d be a better way to earn a buck than sneaking around stealing car parts, but here we are.

According to SLOPD Lt. Robert Cudworth, the thieves are harvesting the precious metals, and they’re really hard to catch.

“Back in February we made an arrest,” Cudworth said. “An alert citizen saw something or heard something strange, called us, and an officer saw the car leaving Foothill and California, did a traffic stop, and arrested three people.

Burglary tools. They actually had the catalytic converters in the car.”

It takes about three minutes for a thief to slide under your car with a reciprocating saw and cut out your converter. It ain’t Gone in 60 Seconds, but it’s close!

According to Cudworth, your best bet is to garage your vehicle, but this is San Luis Obispo, so your garage has been converted into a college rental or is so full of stuff you’re afraid it will spill into your driveway if you open the garage door.

Instead, he suggests parking under a light or installing a motion sensor alarm.

Or you can do what Mayor Heidi Harmon wants and ditch your car in favor of a bicycle. Just be sure to buy a good bike lock. Thieves are everywhere!

More than 2 million bikes are stolen every year in the U.S.—one every 30 seconds! ∆ The Shredder has little wheels and big teeth. Send comments and ideas to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Consummate sideman Dan Horne comes to the forefront

J

ust for fun, stop reading this and go find The Dan Horne Band’s video for “The Motorcycle Song,” and then after you’ve watched it, find their video for “Blackjack.” Now that you’re back, you have an idea of who Dan Horne is, and you’ll be happy to know he and his band are coming to SLO Brew Rock this Sunday, March 28 (3 to 6 p.m.; very limited in-person attendance; no tickets— first come, first served; the audio will be broadcast into the outdoor seating area in case you can’t make it inside; facebook. com/events/188814836090787).

“I don’t want a pickle/ Just want to ride on my motorcycle/ I don’t want a tickle/ ’Cause I’d rather ride on my motorcycle/ And I don’t want to die/ Just want to ride on my motorcy … cle,” Horne sings on his cover of Arlo Guthrie’s 1968 “The Motorcycle Song.”

Horne sounds like a jangling folkhippie living the freedom dream, while on “Blackjack,” his sound is synth-driven triptastic psychedelic orchestral boogie opus. It’s sort of an absurd range, like Ween absurd, and if you don’t know Ween, go look them up. I’ll wait. Horne is also a member of the Grateful Dead tribute act Grateful Shred as well as Circles Around the Sun. What will his Sunday show be like? No idea, but judging by his two online videos, which were created by videographer McKenna Kane, this should be very interesting indeed.

Horne is a talented producer and engineer in his own right, at his very own Lone Palm Studios in Echo Park, so when he’s not touring, he’s recording other acts, but thanks to COVID-19, Horne has for the very first time had the time

HIPPIE SHAKE The Dan Horne Band plays a very limited in-person show at SLO Brew Rock on March 28.

TWO NEW TRACKS Zen Mountain Poets just released “Game of Mystery” and “Times Waves,” two new singles on their ReverbNation page.

to craft and release a recording under his own name, the four-song EP called The Motorcycle Song EP, “recorded and performed entirely by him during the Great Quarantine of 2020,” according to press materials.

The EP’s other tracks include Canned Heat’s “Poor Moon,” and “Rhythm 55” that’s “grooving along like a Dillard & Clark backing track buttressed by a steady drum machine, showcasing Dan’s formidable pedal steel skills.” His bandmates for this show are in other acts like The Growlers, Amo Amo, Cass McCombs, Allah-Las, and Mapache. It’s as if Horne has enlisted LA’s hippie mafia.

Get the EP, bust out your fringe jacket and headband, and get your Dan Horne groove on.

Big Band Sunday

If you’re more into big band jazz than hippie/boogie, take note: The Basin Street Regulars will livestream a concert by The Friendly Neighborhood Big Band this

Sunday, March 28 (2 p.m. on facebook.com/ BasinStreetRegulars and youtube.com/user/ BasinStreetRegulars).

The Friendly Neighborhood Big Band is a 16-member traveling big band formed in March 2019, the brainchild of Director Mitch Latting, David Johns, and Danny Beher, with bandmembers from both SLO and Santa Barbara counties.

“We’ve been providing audiences with performances of great jazz standards as well as original jazz tunes,” the band said in press materials. “We have access to over 1,000 songs of various composers and arrangers.”

Meanwhile on Zen Mountain …

There’s some lush sounds flowing from Zen Mountain Poets on their new single “Game of Mystery,” a song about life’s mysteries, the importance of free-flowing love, releasing grudges, and reaching out to your fellow human beings.

They’ve really deepened their sound on these tracks, with some new performers.

Core members Billy Clayton (vocals, rhythm guitar), Robyn Saxer (keyboard, vocals, French horn), Anthony Roselli (drums, vocals), Mike Flactiff (percussion), and Chad Hoffman (bass) are there as well as Talia Ortega (flute), Jeff Steinmann (lead guitar), Gillian Piper (vocals), and Charlotte Ellis (cello).

Recorded at SLO’s Avalon Digital Recording Studios and engineered by Kip Stork, Brian Aunger, and Billy Clayton, the tracks were also mixed by Clayton and mastered by Griffin Breshears, and they come with some cool cover art by

Timo Beckwith and Clayton.

“Time Waves” is a jamming mostly instrumental except for a finale chorus.

“They will be available for downloading and streaming at reverbnation. com/zenmountainpoets and also for listening on YouTube and our social media channels,” Saxer said. “The songs are currently submitted for digital distribution and will be on other streaming platforms soon.”

Music news …

Local pop punk act Hayley and The Crushers just took a huge stagediving leap forward, signing with Josie Cotton’s Kitten Robot Records. They’re now recording remotely and in the studio with producer Paul Roessler (T.S.O.L., Richie Ramone).

“They’ve sent me the tracks they recorded,” Roessler said in press materials. “They sound so good, it’s almost like they’re showing off. This is going to be easy.”

Hayley and husband, Dr. Cain, Esq., will join Roessler in the studio to record overdubs for what will be their third full-length album, a follow-up to 2020’s Vintage Millennial. They’re also riding high off their successful new single, “Church of Flag,” which pays tribute to old-school punks who’ve stayed true to the genre through the years.

“Hayley and the Crushers is the naked embodiment of power pop punk, which I’ve always loved,” Cotton said. “Hayley is a multi-talented force of nature with too much style for her own good, and naturally, we hit it off immediately. This is a hard-working band who knows who they are and where they need to go. And we’re excited to have them on Kitten Robot. Plus, she’s the only other person I ever met besides myself who had written a song about Angelyne. That cemented our bond for all time.”

Look for more good things to come from Hayley and The Crushers! ∆ Contact Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Central Coast Film Society holds multimedia competition for high school students

The Central Coast Film Society is now accepting submissions from high school students across four counties (San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Monterey) into its new multimedia competition, The “Never Stop Creating” Student Challenge.

Submissions are due no later than April 15 and the contest’s categories include filmmaking, screenwriting, photography, podcasting, and the Highlight Reel Challenge (editing and/or acting in short/long form digital content).

All students who submit entries will receive constructive feedback from the Central Coast Film Society board members and will be eligible to be included in the “Never Stop Creating” Student Showcase, which will be available online on May 1 and 2. A panel of judges will review the showcase and select a winner from each category, who will each receive a scholarship of $100. The public will also have the chance to vote for their favorite works during the virtual showcase, which will determine who wins the People’s Choice Award.

One of the contest’s rules is that each submission must have been completed no earlier than March of last year, as the theme of “Never Stop Creating” is to celebrate Central Coast students who found safe ways to continue creating throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. There is no entry fee to enter the contest nor an admission fee to view the showcase later in May, according to Daniel Lahr, executive director of the Central Coast Film Society.

“Everything is free for the students and the audience.

We want to make sure their outstanding work is recognized and rewarded, and we want that opportunity to be given to everyone regardless of where on the Central Coast they are from,” Lahr said in press materials.

When the story does leave the house, it’s always briefly and in service to propelling the narrative forward. The acting is fantastic, especially Grint. His Julian doesn’t handle stress well, masking his anxiety with cocaine and booze and caustic remarks. The problem with the series, and why I fear for the quality of Season 3, is it’s long on atmosphere but short on story. It’s basically all these characters simmering in their own emotional stew, all at the mercy of Dorothy, for whom the entire fake baby charade was conceived.

Anna It will be interesting to see how things develop and what storylines the writers decide to run with.

Dorothy herself is much the same—elegant and regal from afar, but once you start to pull at the strings, we see she’s flawed, desperate, and vain.

Is there a good guy here or just a host of broken people? I got into this series because of Grint, and my loyalty lies with him and his deeply flawed but super sympathetic Julian. He does a great job at toeing the line between outsider and insider in this insane household. If you have a spot in your heart for feeling unsettled, this series is sure to satisfy. ∆ Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and freelancer Anna Starkey write Split Screen.

omplicated doesn’t even scratch the surface of Liz Carmichael’s story. From auto executive to serial fraudster, she ran the gamut of life and ultimately paid the price for her shyster ways. This HBO four-part miniseries explores Liz’s life before transitioning from Jerry to Geraldine Elizabeth, formerly a fraudster family man who hoodwinked his way through life, continually packing up his young family and once again living life on the run.

The family finally found some stability after Liz’s transition and when she boldly entered the automobile industry, promising a three-wheeled vehicle that could withstand anything and everything you threw at it. The problem wasn’t Liz’s vision, it was the sad fact that she was selling wishes and prayers, and the magic vehicle she dreamed up was a disaster in reality.

The filmmakers attempt to liven up old photos, resulting in a cut-and-paste Monty Python-style animation, and, in general,

Who was Liz Carmichael at her core—a con artist or a visionary?

Those closest to her argue that it could just be a mix of both, and this series asks its audience to give a little room to the possibility she wasn’t just a fraudster but someone who genuinely thought she could change the world with her idea.

’ve loved a lot of Woody Allen films. As a 15-year-old, I saw Annie Hall (1977) in the theater and was hooked on his quirky, neurotic humor. Zelig (1983) is a masterpiece, and over the years I’ve watched his new films as well as his back catalog of zany comedies such as Bananas (1971) and Sleeper (1973).

I loved some of his heavier stuff, like Match Point (2005), but the more I learn about his behavior, the more he disgusts me. I know we should be able to separate art from an

artist’s personal life, but after watching this documentary, I’ll never support Allen by watching one of his films again.

Not only does it explore his infidelity to Mia Farrow by pursuing a sexual relationship with her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn, 35 years his junior, it lays out the case that he molested his daughter Dylan Farrow, and when Mia called him out on his behavior, he sued her for custody of their children.

It’s the story of a powerful man getting away with horrible behavior, and in the #MeToo era, it’s another sad reminder that culturally we have far to go. Watching these interviews with Mia and Dylan, it’s impossible to think they’re making up these terrible allegations, and it’s wholly unjust that Allen has escaped accountability.

Dry and delicious SLO Cider Company celebrates its one year anniversary amid successful pandemic pivots

O

ne year after the state of California issued stay-at-home orders hoping to stem the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, SLO Cider Company celebrated its first anniversary—a year of unanticipated success.

The San Luis Obispo-based cider company opened its tasting room on March 13, 2020. Two days later, they had to shut down, co-founder and head cider maker Jeremy Fleming said.

“Nobody knew the magnitude of what we were facing,” Fleming said. “We felt we were ready. We didn’t think the pandemic was going to be as big of a deal as it turned out to be.”

For two years prior to opening, Fleming and his partners in cider, Marketing Director Pete Ayer and Operations Manager Nate Adamski, worked on cider labels, cider flavors, and tenant improvements on their building. So they went ahead and opened the cidery’s doors,

not realizing how short-lived their tasting room experience would actually be.

For most fledgling adult beverage makers—wineries, breweries, cideries, even distilleries—the tasting room is clutch. It’s where they build their brand and their following. Selling a glass of cider directly to the consumer out of a tasting room yields a higher profit for the maker than selling a keg of cider to a restaurant establishment, which then sells a glass of cider to a consumer at a similar price point.

Tasting rooms are where PHOTO COURTESY OF SLO CIDER CO. customers can learn about what they’re drinking from the people who are crafting it. As tasting room business grows, adult beverage makers often expand into selling to restaurants and bars. Then, as that demand starts to increase, some—not all—take the step of bottling or canning their products and moving onto retail store shelves.

Since SLO Cider no longer had a tasting room, the cidery was forced to pivot, forced to figure out how to get their legs underneath them and their product into people’s hands.

SLO Cider now has more than 120 accounts on the Central Coast.

“That was actually a really, really good decision,” Fleming said. “I don’t think we would have been able to do that without being forced to take that pivot up front.”

Canning four to start with—dry, hopped, tropical, and rosé—each is made from a blend of apples such as Braeburn, Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, and Granny Smith. Apple varieties each bring a different flavor and characteristic to the final product, Fleming said.

“Really a single apple [variety] often doesn’t give you a lot of characteristics.

It’s often one road. So we like to have a little complexity,” he said.

Something like a Honeycrisp can add sweetness to a cider, while a Granny Smith is more tart and crisp.

The dry cider is really for those cider connoisseurs out there, Fleming said.

It’s crisp, clean, and refreshing. The hopped cider is made with Citra hops, which he said could help introduce beer drinkers to cider. Rosé is a little bit lighter and more approachable for some people, Fleming said, with a little bit of

raspberry and hibiscus notes.

SLO Cider’s tropical cider was inspired by Fleming and Adamski’s love for the islands.

Both like POG juice: passionfruit, orange, and guava. Fleming has fond memories of Hawaii, while Adamski has family members who lived in Oahu, so they wanted to build a cider that paid homage to that.

Another unanticipated pandemic development happened at the Paso Market Walk, where a SLO Cider opened a second tasting room in November 2020.

Totally unplanned, the SLO Cider crew had an opportunity to open a spot in North County, and Fleming said they did what they had to do to make it happen.

With the SLO tasting room now open again, SLO Cider is serving up more than just its flagships. During the anniversary celebration, Fleming put several specialty ciders on tap, including a lemon ginger cider and a blood orange cider—both of which are delicious and of course made with a base of apples. Fleming has a backlog of ciders to choose from, as well, with at least 30 different ciders he developed during the course of working to open the cidery.

“Cider has taken over my life,” Fleming, who used to brew at Bang the Drum Brewery, said with a laugh.

Coming from a brewing background, Fleming said, there are quite a few differences and quite a few similarities between making beer and making cider.

Cider, he said, is more similar to wine than it is to beer. One of the things that had the steepest learning curve was learning how to work with pectin, a naturally occurring substance in fruits.

“Pectin has been the bane of my cider existence. Not knowing that up front, not really understanding that up front, threw some significant hurdles in my way,” Fleming said, adding that he definitely pulled some all-nighters to troubleshoot the additives that cider needs to help break down pectin.

Fruit pectin is the thing that helps jams PHOTOS COURTESY OF SLO CIDER CO.

and jellies go from runny to more viscous or solid. For cider, it is the thing that can create haze in the finished product, because it’s insoluble with alcohol. So Fleming had to learn to work with certain enzymes that break down pectin.

The brewer-turned-cider-maker met Adamski at a tasting event in downtown SLO in 2014. Adamski worked for See Canyon Cider Co. at the time, and the two became friends. Fleming started making home batches of cider from the apples off a tree in his backyard, and he happened to bring some to one of Adamski’s birthday parties. It was mid-2018 when they decided to give their own cidery a shot.

Ayer came on as the marketing guru— he’s worked with Moshpit Digital and done work for everyone from Cal Poly to High Street Deli, Fleming said.

“Really, it is Nate that brought us all together,” Fleming said. “Nate had a little bit of experience in the cider industry and decided to take a chance, to build a [cidery] with a couple of guys.” ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham is ready for a dry cider, followed by a blood orange one.

BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Directors of the Templeton Community Services District as follows: SECTION ONE. PURPOSE AND FINDINGS. The Board of Directors of the Templeton Community Services District (“District”) finds and determines as follows: a. The purpose of this ordinance is to update and amend the District Water Code’s procedures and deadlines regarding the District’s established water service waiting list to more accurately reflect the planning process and approval timeline of discretionary projects by San Luis Obispo County (“County”). b. Government Code section 61100 permits the Board District to supply water for any beneficial use, while Government Code section 61060(b) permits the Board District to adopt and enforce rules and regulations relating to the administration, operation, use and maintenance of the District’s supply of water. c. The District currently has an established water service waiting list, which provides procedures, deadlines, and other requirements for an applicant on the waiting list to follow when District water becomes available. The County provides its own timeline for processing and issuing its approval of discretionary projects that will require a water supply from District. d. Currently, the District Water Code provides that if an applicant on the waiting list is notified that water units have become available, the applicant is required to submit proof of a “County Accepted Application” within 120 days from the date that the applicant is required to deposit with the District hook-up fees. e

SECTION TWO. AUTHORITY. This Ordinance is adopted under the authority found in Government Code sections 61100(a) and 61060(b), and other applicable law.

SECTION THREE. AMENDMENTS TO DISTRICT WATER CODE AND ORDINANCES. A. CHANGES TO TERMINOLOGY IN DISTRICT WATER CODE. All references in the District Water Code to “County Accepted Application” are deleted and replaced with “County Filed Application.”

B. AMENDMENTS TO DISTRICT WATER CODE. 1. Section 2.2.3.2 of the District Water Code is deleted and replaced as follows: With respect to applications for will serve commitments that will be submitted to the County in connection with the discretionary approval of a project for the subject premises, such as a tentative map, site plan, use permit, development plan or plot plan, the applicant, shall (i) execute the recordable agreement described in this section, (ii) submit proof the applicant has filed and paid all County fees for an initial application for a tentative map, development plan, site plan, use permit, plot plan or other project approval application for the subject premises with the County (“County Filed Application”) within one-hundred eighty (180) days of the notice provided in Section 2.2.2, (iii) deposit within said thirty (30) day period one-fifth of the water hook-up fees due for the units of use applied for consistent with the County Filed Application, and (iv) submit proof that the County has deemed complete and accepted the County Filed Application no later than the second anniversary from the date of the notice provided in Section 2.2.2. Upon request by the applicant and a showing by the applicant that is diligently pursuing having the County deem the County Filed Application complete and accepted, the District may in its sole discretion extend the deadline in subsection (iv) of the preceding sentence by up to one year. The amount of the hook-up fees due shall be based on those in effect at the time of the payment. The District and applicant shall enter into a recordable agreement affecting the subject premises providing for the applicant’s payment of the balance of the hook-up fees owed in 4 equal annual installments based on the hook-up fees in effect at the time of the initial deposit. Such agreement shall provide that if, during the term of the agreement, the District pursues formation of a special zone covering those lands subject to will serve commitments and the payment of water hook-up fees, the applicant’s property shall be proposed for inclusion in the zone and whatever balance may be owing on the water hook-up fees at the time of formation of the zone shall be paid through whatever taxes, assessments, fees and/or charges are approved for such zone. The recordable agreement also shall provide for an annual fee to administer the agreement and the payment of the installments, and the consequences if any such annual installment are not timely paid. Such agreement further shall provide that the then balance owing on the hook-up fees shall be paid either prior to the recording of a final map pursuant to the County Filed Application or within thirty (30) days after County approval of the project for the subject premises, whichever is applicable. No water service shall be provided to the subdivision or project until 100% of the remaining balance on the hook-up fees is paid. As of the date of such submission of proof of the County Filed Application, the full execution of the recordable agreement and the payment of the deposit with the District, the application for a will serve commitment shall be deemed complete. Refunds of money paid in connection with the application are nonrefundable, except as provided in Section 2.2.5.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY AND INTENT TO ADOPT A NEGATIVE DECLARATION For the Parks and Recreation Plan and General Plan Element Update (City File EID-0150-2021) The City of San Luis Obispo (City) has completed an Initial Study/Negative Declaration (IS/ND) for the proposed Parks and Recreation Plan and General Plan Element Update (City of San Luis Obispo; Citywide). Based on the results of the IS/ ND, adoption of the Update would not result in any significant environmental impacts.

The City’s current Parks and Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) and Parks and Recreation Element (PRE) was adopted in 2001. The PRMP/PRE needs to be updated to address the City’s changing population and physical environment and the associated demands for new and/or improved community recreation facilities and programs. Therefore, in 2018, the City embarked on a process to update its Parks and Recreation Plan and PRE, and the title of this update is Parks + Recreation Blueprint for the Future: 2021-2041 Parks and Recreation Plan and General Plan Element Update (Plan Update). The Draft Plan Update evaluates the condition and capacity of the City’s existing parks and facilities, develops a strategy for maintaining and enhancing these facilities, and considers how new parks and facilities should be provided over the coming years. The combined Draft Plan Update revisits the City’s recreational needs with fresh information about facility usage, program participation, and community priorities and preferences and then establishes goals, policies, and implementing actions to serve as a blueprint from which to guide the City in achieving its Parks and Recreation vision. The Draft Plan Update addresses the type, location, and timing of development of City parks and recreation facilities. Although the update retains similar policies and programs as established in the 2001 PRMP/PRE, there are also new policies and programs that address these changing conditions. Chapter 4, Goals and Policies, of the Draft Plan Update, includes over 50 policies to achieve the following five system-wide goals: Build Community and Neighborhoods; Meet the Changing Needs of the Community; Sustainability; Optimize Resources; and Safety.

Chapter 5, Implementation, of the Draft Plan Update, describes the need for recreation amenities within the City, provides a framework for locating these amenities, and identifies near-term, mid-term, and long-term projects. As a policy document, the Draft Plan Update does not authorize any physical development or improvements; instead, it is intended to guide development of future parks and recreation projects within the City. Therefore, consistent with Section 15168(c)(1) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the IS/ND evaluates program-level actions that describe planned park and recreation facilities and programs and focuses primarily on the Draft Plan Update’s consistency with adopted City plans, goals, objectives, and standards. Future proposed physical improvements that are subject to discretionary approval would be subject to separate environmental review on a project-specific basis, in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Policy Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines. Once adopted, the Draft Plan Update will be finalized and become part of the City’s General Plan.

Reference copies of the IS/ND are available on the City’s website at https://www.slocity.org/government/departmentdirectory/community-development/documents-online/ environmental-review-documents. If you are unable to access the internet, please contact Shawna Scott at sscott@ slocity.org or (805) 781-7176 to arrange for an alternative means to view the study, as the City offices are currently closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated Shelter at Home Order. The required 30-day public review period for the Negative Declaration will extend from Thursday, March 25, 2021 to Monday, April 26, 2021. Anyone interested in commenting on the document should submit a written statement to the City of San Luis Obispo, Community Development Department, 919 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401, Attention: Shawna Scott, Senior Planner, or by email to sscott@slocity.org, by 5:00 p.m., April 26, 2021.

Hearings are tentatively scheduled with the City of San Luis Obispo Parks and Recreation Commission on April 7 and May 12, 2021 to evaluate the project. Interested persons can access the Parks and Recreation Commission agenda at https://www.slocity.org/government/advisory-bodies/ agendas-and-minutes/parks-and-recreation-commission to locate the agenda of the public hearing for this project.

Additional hearings will include review by the Planning Commission (tentatively scheduled for May 26, 2021) and City Council (tentatively scheduled for May 4, Study Session, and July 6, 2021, consideration of the Plan Update and IS/ND).

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

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: April 6, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: 9 VIA ZOOM, in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm St., Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

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

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

You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

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

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): In the novel House of Leaves, the hero Johnny Truant describes his friend Lude as wanting “more money, better parties, and prettier girls.” But Johnny wants something different. What is it? He says, “I’m not even sure what to call it except I know it feels roomy and it’s drenched in sunlight and it’s weightless and I know it’s not cheap.”

In my opinion, that declaration is far too imprecise! He’ll never get what he wants until he gets clearer about it. But his fantasy is a good start. It shows that he knows what the fulfillment of his yearning feels like. I suggest you get inspired by Johnny Truant’s approximation to conjure up one of your own. Gaze ahead a few years, and see if you can imagine what your best possible future feels like. Then describe it to yourself as precisely as possible.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Is there anything more gratifying than being listened to, understood, and seen for who you really are? I urge you to seek out that pleasure in abundance during the coming weeks. My reading of the astrological omens tells me you need the nurturing jolt that will come from being received and appreciated with extra potency. I hope you have allies who can provide that for you. If you don’t, search for allies who can. And in the meantime, consider engaging the services of a skillful psychotherapist or life coach or some other professional listener.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): How distraught I was when I discovered that one of my favorite poets, Pablo Neruda, was an admirer of the murderous dictator Joseph Stalin. It broke my heart to know I could never again read his tender, lyrical poetry with unconditional appreciation. But that’s life: Some of our heroes and teachers disappoint us, and then it’s healthy to re-evaluate our relationships with them. Or maybe our own maturation leads us to realize that once-nurturing influences are no longer nurturing. I recommend that sometime soon, you take a personal inventory with these thoughts in mind. I suspect there may be new sources of inspiration headed your way. Get ready for them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Self-help author Steve Maraboli has useful advice for you to consider in the coming weeks. I hope you’ll meditate on what he says and take decisive action. He writes, “Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.” To get started, Gemini, make a list of three things you do have power over and three things you wish you did but don’t have power over.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): While he was alive, Cancerian author Franz Kafka burned 90 percent of everything he wrote. In a note to a friend before he died, he gave instructions to burn all the writing he would leave behind. Luckily, his friend disobeyed, and that’s why today we can read Kafka’s last three novels and a lot more of his stuff. Was his attitude toward his creations caused by the self-doubt that so many of us Cancerians are shadowed by? Was he, like a lot of us Crabs, excessively shy about sharing personal details from his life? In accordance with astrological omens, I urge you to at least temporarily transcend any Kafka-like tendencies you have. It’s time to shine brightly and boldly as you summon your full powers of self-expression.

LEO

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Blobs, spots, specks, smudges, cracks, defects, mistakes, accidents, exceptions, and irregularities are the windows to other worlds,” writes author Bob Miller. I would add that all those things, along with related phenomena like fissures, blemishes, stains, scars, blotches, muck, smears, dents, and imperfections, are often windows to very interesting parts of this seemingly regular old ordinary world—parts that might remain closed off from us without the help of those blobs and defects. I suggest you take full advantage of the opportunities they bring your way in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Innovative psychologist Carl Jung had a nuanced understanding of the energies at work in our deep psyche. He said our unconscious minds are “not only dark but also light; not only bestial, semi-human, and demonic, but also superhuman, spiritual, and, in the classical sense of the word, ‘divine.’” I bring this to your attention, Sagittarius, because now is a favorable time to get better acquainted with and more appreciative of your unconscious mind. For best results, you must not judge it for being so paradoxical.

Don’t be annoyed that it’s so unruly and non-rational. Have fun with its fertility and playfulness and weirdness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The fantasy drama Game of Thrones appeared on TVs all over the world. But the audience that watched it in China got cheated out of a lot of essential action. Government censorship deleted many scenes that featured nudity and sex, fighting and violence, and appearances by dragons, which play a starring role in the story. As you can imagine, Chinese viewers had trouble following some of the plot points. Telling you about this, Capricorn, is my way of nudging you to make sure you don’t miss any of the developments going on in your own personal drama. Some may be hidden, as in China’s version of Game of Thrones. Others might be subtle or disguised or underestimated. Make it your crusade to know about everything.

AQUARIUS

(July 23-Aug. 22): To create your horoscope, I’ve borrowed ideas from Leo-born author Cassiano Ricardo. He speaks of a longing “for all that is tall like pine trees, and all that is long like rivers, and all that is purple like dusk.” I think yearnings like those will be healthy and wise for you to cultivate in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you need expansive influences that stretch your imagination and push you beyond your limitations. You will benefit from meditations and experiences that inspire you to outgrow overly small expectations.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind,” wrote author Rudyard Kipling. Yes, they are. I agree. They change minds, rouse passions, build identities, incite social change, inspire irrationality, and create worlds. This is always true, but it will be especially important for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks.

The ways you use language will be key to your health and success. The language that you hear and read will also be key to your health and success. For best results, summon extra creativity and craftsmanship as you express yourself.

Cultivate extra discernment as you choose what you absorb.

VIRGO

PISCES

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo actor and director Jean-Louis Barrault (1910-1994) aspired to “wake up a virgin each morning.” He wanted “to feel hungry for life,” as if he had been reborn once again. In order to encourage that constant renewal, he regarded going to sleep every night as “a small death.” I recommend his approach to you during the coming weeks. In my astrological opinion, the cosmic rhythms will be conspiring to regularly renew your desires: to render them pure, clean, raw, and strong. Cooperate with those cosmic rhythms!

(Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean linguist Anna Wierzbicka says the Russian expression dusha naraspashku means “unbuttoned soul.” She continues, “The implication is that it is good, indeed wonderful, if a person’s ‘soul,’ which is the seat of emotions, is flung open in a spontaneous, generous, expansive, impetuous gesture, expressing full trust in other people and an innocent readiness for communion with them.”

I wouldn’t recommend that you keep your soul unbuttoned 24/7/365, but in the coming weeks, I hope you’ll allocate more time than usual to keeping it unbuttoned. ∆
