hen a shooting on May 10 led to the death of a police officer and the suspect, and injured another officer, Hawthorne Elementary School Principal James McMillen said he, like many others in the community, received phone alerts from apps and news outlets about the incident. “The second I saw the address that was listed where the incident occurred, my heart dropped,” McMillen said. The incident took place in the area off of South Higuera Street and Santa Margarita Avenue, which is within Hawthorne Elementary School’s district boundaries. McMillen recognized the area immediately because he and his staff conducted home visits during the pandemic to ensure families had what they needed for distance learning or address student struggles. After the shooting, McMillen said he was prepared and anticipated that it was going to impact his school. The evening of the incident, his staff made contact with some of the families that lived in the direct vicinity of or within the apartment complex where the shooting happened. “The following day I opened my email inbox and I had an email already from our Student Services Department, of a confidential list of students in all schools [within the San Luis Coastal School District], not just Hawthorne, who lived in the vicinity,” he said. The email went out to all principals and counselors so they could immediately check in with students either in person on campus or by phone. McMillen said he, a special assignment counselor, and a site counselor immediately worked together to reach these students. He also received calls from parents who said they drove by the incident with their children in the car. “Their children naturally had questions and saw things that were quite traumatic,” he said. “I also heard from families who said their student was outside playing when they heard the gunshots and a myriad of sirens.” The indirect impact was significant, and McMillen said through partnership with Hawthorne’s school resource officer (SRO), they scheduled a therapy dog to be on campus for the entire week of May 17.

COMING TOGETHER A local elementary school community comes together to support students and families indirectly and directly impacted by the May 10 shooting in San Luis Obispo.

McMillen said a family whose unit was directly below the incident wasn’t able to immediately return to their home. SLO County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Tony Cipolla said that residents inside the crime scene were evacuated for their safety. “In this case, it was a matter of a few hours after the incident before they were allowed to return,” Cipolla said. He said in these types of situations, if an individual or a family is displaced because of a crime scene investigation, many will seek out family or friends to stay with. “If the investigation takes an extended period of time, then the Sheriff’s Office would provide resources, which include housing options,” Cipolla said. McMillen said the family was not in the unit at the time of the shooting, but furniture and the unit itself were damaged. “They’re struggling with how to process what happened, and I believe there’s also trauma of ‘what if we were there,’” he said. McMillen said what happened next was a “magical outpouring” of community support. A former Hawthorne staff member had hotel

points that she donated to the family. One of Hawthorne’s family advocates reached out to the school resource center to gather donations of clothing and gift cards for the family, and a monetary donation effort outside of the school started to help this family. “It’s all raised quite a bit of funding, because what is ultimately happening is the family needs to find different housing. They’re not going to return to their apartment complex where the incident occurred,” he said. In a district-wide message, San Luis Coastal Superintendent Eric Prater said the district’s family resource center was providing temporary lodging and access to meals, counseling services, and extra Chromebooks for technology access during that time. “I’m absolutely reminded about the strength of our community,” McMillen said. “My big learning is that our community absolutely cares and there are members of our community that don’t need to know any details at all about any specific need, they just need to know that there’s a family in need and the support is truly inspiring.” Δ —Karen Garcia

retirement of the school’s longtime choir teacher. Parent Kim Carrington found out about the possible cancellation of the program from her daughter when she came home from work on May 24. Carrington’s daughter, an eighth grader in the Lucia Mar Unified School District, has been working with a counselor to schedule

courses for her freshman year at Arroyo Grande High School, and said school staff recently informed her that choir wouldn’t be available next year. Carrington said her daughter is a lifelong music lover and had been planning to take an NEWS continued page 5

elective choir course even at the expense of her summer vacation. She planned to take a health class early this summer, specifically, to free up space in her schedule for choir. “So she’s been passionate about music her entire life,” Carrington said. That’s particularly true when it comes to singing. Carrington said her daughter’s first solo was at a talent show in the first grade. She’s been active in a local church choir since the second grade, and she participates in school choirs whenever the option is offered. She was devastated when school staff told her about the loss of Arroyo Grande High School’s program. “Then I started asking around,” Carrington said, “and it was like no one knew this was happening.” Carrington rallied some other parents to send emails questioning the decision to the Lucia Mar board of education and superintendent. They discovered that longtime Arroyo Grande High School choir teacher Chris Bledsoe recently retired from his position and student interest in the choir program has been dwindling for years. Currently only a handful of students are signed up to take choir during the 2021-22 school year. After a year of online classes, Carrington said, she’s not surprised there’s not a lot of interest in a program like choir. “So to me the real issue is how do we build that program back up so we don’t lose it?” she said. Now the district is planning to recruit a new choir teacher to fill the vacancy left by Bledsoe in hopes of saving the course for at least another year, according to district spokesperson Amy Jacobs. But finding a qualified applicant after a retirement this late in the school year is often a challenge for school districts. “We’re planning to fly the opening and search for a qualified candidate to fill the position,” Jacobs wrote in a statement to New Times. Superintendent Paul Fawcett and Arroyo Grande High Principal Dan Neff could not be reached before press time. —Kasey Bubnash

SLO County APCD revises air quality forecasting map for Oceano area New air quality data in South County has given local air pollution control officials a clearer picture of what areas are most impacted by wind events at the Oceano Dunes—triggering a change to air quality forecasting maps. SLO County has seven geographic zones for air quality forecasting and reporting purposes, and South County is split into four additional subzones that are tied to dust pollution levels at the Oceano Dunes. A new study released in May by the SLO County Air Pollution Control District (APCD), though, showed that some areas of Oceano and Nipomo experience less pollution than was previously known. The APCD adjusted the boundaries of the four zones accordingly. “What we did was install some

EMPLOYMENT additional air visual monitors down in the Oceano area,” said Meghan Field, air quality and public information specialist at the APCD. “We found some areas in Oceano and in the Nipomo Mesa where the air quality wasn’t as bad as we originally thought. Those monitors helped us refine the zones.” One outcome of the boundary tweak was it moved an area near Dorothea Lange Elementary School in Nipomo to a less severely impacted air quality zone. The school is now in the NRP zone, which has better air quality than the Mesa2 zone and CDF zone, but much worse air quality than the neighboring San Luis Obispo zone. Field encouraged residents of South County to take a look at the new map, which is available at slocleanair.org, to see what zone they live, work, and take their kids to school in now. “People have really become accustomed to those forecast zones,” she said. “Especially as we go into this wildfire season, people are more aware of where their home is and what air quality looks like in their area.” The APCD study, which was based on monitoring data between 2017 and 2021, also found that the air pollution levels in the CDF zone—Oceano’s most impacted zone, bordering the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area—had declined somewhat. “The likely cause of this is the dust mitigation measures installed upwind of the [state park],” the report stated. The APCD board of directors received a staff presentation on the report and zone changes at its May 26 meeting, which is also available at slocleanair.org. —Peter Johnson

Grover considers making pandemic-era outdoor dining areas permanent Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Lil’ Bits Café had two or three tables right outside the entrance of their building on North 7th Street in Grover Beach. That more than doubled in July 2020, when the state issued orders restricting indoor dining in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. Lil’ Bits did what it could to make up for the lost seating inside, according to owner Jason Goetz. Goetz and his staff blocked off a portion of the diner’s parking lot with bails of hay and lattice fencing, and set up old grill top picnic tables, chairs, and big umbrellas right on top of a few asphalt parking spots. The piecemeal patio quickly became popular among most customers, who liked to enjoy the sunshine and safety of the outdoors while eating, and Goetz’s employees, who felt less overwhelmed by the congestion and noise that’s common inside the café. Only a few customers have complained about the lost parking, so as COVID-19 restrictions locally and statewide ease, Goetz, like many other restaurant owners, is hoping to keep his newfound outdoor dining space intact postpandemic. “We do want to keep that thing, and we also want to invest into some more permanent fixtures,” he said, adding that

his landlord has been supportive of the idea. “The more seats you have the more opportunity you have to make money.” Now Grover Beach is considering possible policies that would make outdoor dining on public sidewalks, in parking lots, and in the form of street parklets a permanent option for local businesses. At a meeting on May 24, Grover Beach City Council discussed several ways it could continue to support businesses in their outdoor operations, including the expansion of a matching grant program geared toward helping businesses develop outdoor spaces. In late July 2020, City Council adopted a resolution creating temporary use permits for businesses in need of outdoor operation space. The city, according to a city staff report, issued 22 such temporary use permits, the majority of which went to restaurants. The city also installed two dining parklets at restaurants on West Grand Avenue and funded a permanent patio at The Spoon Trade through a matching grant program, which awarded businesses up to $5,000 in CARES Act funding for the construction of outdoor dining spaces. City Council members unanimously expressed interest in continuing and expanding the grant program, this time to help businesses beautify and solidify their outdoor operations. Most, including Councilmember Anna Miller, said they also supported permanent outdoor uses in private parking lots, as long as businesses still meet their minimum parking requirements. Several, however, said they were concerned about the safety of street parklets, which generally sit directly beside high traffic streets, and sidewalk dining spaces, which could cause accessibility issues for pedestrians. “I think there’s some barriers there that we have to consider—that’s making sure that we don’t impede the flow of traffic for those who are in wheelchairs,” Miller said at the meeting. “And additionally with the street parking, with parklets, we are taking away, potentially permanently, parking spaces in front of businesses. And I think I’d like to know more about impact before I can support that option.” City staff expect to bring a resolution regarding the allowance of outdoor business operations to City Council for consideration later this summer. —Kasey Bubnash

Pismo Beach and Grover Beach suggest public meeting on Central Coast Blue Pismo Beach and Grover Beach responded to the city of Arroyo Grande’s demands for the Central Coast Blue water project on May 24—proposing a path forward for the frayed regional partnership. The cities’ letters, which are identical, called the $85 million wastewater treatment project “imperative” for the region, and said that “the project is best if all three South County cities continue to participate.” “We want to be very clear that our city NEWS continued page 6

remains committed,” their letters read. Last month, Arroyo Grande threatened to withdraw from Central Coast Blue on June 1 unless Pismo and Grover agreed to renegotiate a shared operating agreement for the project. The Arroyo Grande City Council raised issues with the project’s governance structure—calling it unequal—and clashed with Pismo and Grover over their lack of commitment to a local workforce hire agreement. In the May 24 response letters, Pismo and Grover suggested that the three cities hold an in-person meeting in the near future, with all three city councils and the public present, “to discuss the project and next steps.” “We are optimistic such a meeting could be held by August 2021,” the letters read. “During this meeting, it would be essential to discuss project governance and oversight, financing, procurement, timelines, etc.” Pismo and Grover also proposed that the three cities each appoint two council members to engage in ongoing discussions about the project with city staff and advisors. “We believe the approach for dialogue and deliberation outlined in this letter provides a sufficient response to the issue raised,” the letters read. The Arroyo Grande City Council is set to meet in June to discuss the cities’ responses and whether they satisfy their

demands, according to City Manager Whitney McDonald. Those demands were that the cities have equal decision-making power on the project and that a project management committee be formed subject to the Brown Act. While Pismo and Grover opened the door to those renegotiations, they also underscored the need to get Central Coast Blue off the ground. The project— pitched as a shared solution to stabilizing the Santa Maria Valley Groundwater Basin—has a $6.1 million federal grant application pending. “As our county and most of our state is now in a severe drought, it is imperative to continue to move Central Coast Blue forward without delay,” the letters stated. —Peter Johnson

Morro Bay wind farm project is back in motion An offshore wind development project off the coast of Morro Bay was halted by the U.S. Navy in 2018 because the designated area conflicted with naval operations, but the project is back on track after reducing its size. On May 25, U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) joined the White House in announcing an agreement on the size and scope of leasing to allow for offshore wind development. The agreement identifies an area of development approximately 17 to 40 miles off the coast of northern San Luis Obispo County.

The area available for offshore wind development would span 399 square miles, enough to produce 3 gigawatts of energy—the largest proposed floating offshore wind project in the U.S. “This potential project will help secure the Central Coast’s dominance as a renewable energy powerhouse, which will attract new businesses and good-paying, future-oriented jobs in the burgeoning sector of the economy. The future is renewable energy, and the Central Coast is leading the way,” Carbajal said in a press release. The Navy stalled the project in 2018 after it released a map and compatibility assessment in late 2017 that indicated conflicts in federal waters along the Central Coast. Proposed wind turbines were slated for installation outside of state waters, which end 3 miles from the shoreline. In an effort to work with the Navy, and ultimately establish the agreement, in 2019 Carbajal created the Offshore Wind Working Group that included representatives from the offices of Carbajal and U.S. Rep Jimmy Panetta (D-Carmel Valley), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Department of Defense, Department of the Navy, and California Energy Commission. Carbajal was able to secure a written commitment from the Navy that included a willingness to collaborate with the congressman’s

Offshore Wind Working Group to identify an area for development that would meet energy production goals. The next phase of the process involves an environmental impact review and a public comment period. The Regional Economic Action Coalition (REACH) recently released a commissioned study from Cal Poly stating that a proposed wind farm development would generate 650 good-paying jobs and $262 million in annual economic impact in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. “Making economic benefits from offshore wind development a reality for San Luis Obispo County will require developing a specialized wind port as a hub for offshore wind jobs and regional supply-chain development,” the report states. The study team believes that in addition to critical grid infrastructure, a nearby port is necessary to enable the development of an offshore wind industry on the Central Coast. Morro Bay Mayor John Headding said during the May 25 Morro Bay City Council meeting that he’s grateful for all the work that has been done, which will translate to “something very great for not only the state of California with regard to renewable green energy but also for the city of Morro Bay in terms of tremendous potential opportunity for economic benefit.” ∆ —Karen Garcia

A local tells his family’s story of fleeing the Armenian genocide to shine a light of courage on a dark spot in history

hen Bruce Badrigian was battling pancreatic cancer in 2012, all he could think about in the hospital was his father and the sacrifices he’d made to provide for his family. In his younger adult years, Badrigian’s father died and left Badrigian wishing he had spent more time learning about his Armenian heritage. He learned a lot about his family’s history of fleeing the Ottoman Empire and starting anew in the United States from his grandmother, Isgouhi, and the aunts who helped raise Badrigian and his four siblings while his parents worked. “I always had an itch to tell this story and the story of other Armenians that I have come across over the years,” Badrigian said. During the cancer recovery process Badrigian had a lot of time to write, research, and go over recordings he had made over the course of the last 15 years. The recordings were of other Armenians who had shared their family histories with him—of fleeing the Ottoman Empire, losing great-family members in the Armenian genocide of 1915, coming to the United States, and their successes in this country. With years of information in hand, Badrigian wrote a historical fiction novel released in 2015 and re-released in early 2021, Armenia’s Fingerprint. The story focuses on two courageous Armenian teen sisters who refused to lose their faith and dreams in the face of adversity during 1915. Although the story is loosely based on his family’s history, it pays homage to the many people who shared their stories of courage and refuge with him.

Family history According to the Armenian National Institute, the Ottoman Empire embarked upon a systematic decimation of its civilian Armenian population on April 24, 1915, during World War l. The empire’s rulers and most of its subjects were Muslim while its Armenian communities were of Christian faith. During this time, Armenians were sent on death marches through the Mesopotamian desert without food or water. Badrigian said his grandmother’s first husband was killed in the home that she and her husband built. “The Turks had invaded their village and he tried to fight them off. He told them to flee out the back door and get into the forest. He yelled out to her, to not let them ‘get our girls,’” Badrigian said. The women listened, fled out the back

door of the house, and went up a hill. From that vantage point they could see the men dragging out the body of her first husband as they simultaneously witnessed a line of Armenian villagers being marched out of their community. “No one would help the Armenians because ... if you helped an Armenian, you would be put to death as well. So [his grandmother and her three daughters] did not last long,” Badrigian said. Her daughters starved to death. Isgouhi was barely surviving when Badrigian’s grandfather, Kachadoor, found her. He and his two sisters, now refugees, nourished and aided Isgouhi as they fled. The four made it to Musa Dagh on the Mediterranean Coast, where they joined a rebellious group fighting off the Ottoman Army on Mt. Moses. A French battleship that was patrolling the sea stopped to save the refugees after the group held up a white bed sheet with a red Christian cross on it. That ship, Badrigian said, saved thousands of Armenians. It took them to Egypt, where they were put into a refugee camp for about a year before his grandparents were granted passage to Ellis Island. “No money, no command of the language because they couldn’t speak English. But the first thing they did was find a church and get married,” he said. At the time, Badrigian said there wasn’t enough work for the number of refugees who were arriving in New York, so his grandparents followed the advice of a fellow refugee who said factory work was in abundance in Worcester, Massachusetts. “Factories needed hard workers and didn’t care about their capacity to speak English,” Badrigian said. Isgouhi and Kachadoor had three children together, two girls and a boy, Simon Joseph—who was Badrigian’s father. Simon had five children; Badrigian is the oldest.

Adult reflections In 2019, Badrigian and his wife visited Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, and joined hundreds of thousands of people in the walk to the Tsitsernakaberd Armenian Genocide Memorial to lay flowers at the eternal flame for the 104th anniversary—a year before the pandemic. He said men and women were carrying flowers of multiple colors and children on their shoulders down the narrow path

to the memorial to pay their respects. To be able to research his family’s beginnings, understand those foundations from other Armenian people he’s met, and go to his grandparents’ homeland was a moving experience for Badrigian. During his research, Badrigian said he read many articles, documents, and stories that focused on the genocide’s devastation. “I’ve read everything I could lay my hands on. But it was all the same. It was sad, massacre after massacre. It was all nonfiction,” he said.

POKRAJAC

he energy is palpable in downtown San Luis Obispo at lunchtime on Thursday, May 27, as visitors with and without face masks wander around the city’s hub. Streets that were practically deserted a year ago are now buzzing again with shoppers, diners, and workers. “We’ve seen a return of the downtown cycle,” said Bettina Swigger, CEO of the Downtown SLO association. “There’s the morning crowd, the lunch crowd, the afternoon crowd, the dinner crowd, and the nightlife. For a while, that wasn’t happening. And that was very strange.” With COVID-19 cases on the decline, vaccination numbers rising, and restrictions lifting, downtown business and civic leaders say they’re finally seeing a light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. On Thursday, May 6, the weekly downtown Farmers’ Market returned to Higuera Street, ending a more than yearlong hiatus. The welcome back event drew about 3,000 people—a moment of progress. “That feels really good,” Swigger said. “Just having that activity back in the community ... we’re rebuilding.” Downtown visitation has been up dramatically over the last couple of months, Swigger said, a fact that’s not only evident by the increased foot traffic, but in parking and hotel statistics as well. And yet, right alongside that fresh energy are scars from the pandemic. The empty storefronts—New Times counted 16 on Higuera and Monterey streets on May 27—are impossible to ignore. Downtown business closures align with recently released economic data. According to REACH Central Coast, a local nonprofit that published a study this month on COVID-19 impacts, 40 percent fewer businesses in SLO and Santa Barbara counties had opened in February 2021 compared to March 2020. Most of the jobs lost during COVID-19—twothirds of them, or about 37,000 jobs— came among low-wage workers, mostly in the tourism and hospitality industries. “That includes many of the type of businesses that are supported by the people that patronize downtown,” said Andrew Hackleman, the vice president at REACH Central Coast. “It’s pretty intuitive that the customer-facing businesses saw the biggest impacts during COVID-19.”

While the empty stores are a troubling sight, downtown advocates are confident that better days are ahead, and that the damage wasn’t as bad as it might appear. Some businesses that closed over the pandemic had owners who were close to retiring, Swigger said. Others were national chains. Some closed only temporarily. Laura Mullen, president of the nonprofit HumanKind Fair Trade on Monterey Street, said that the downtown shop survived the pandemic thanks to more online sales, holiday shopping, federal Paycheck Protection Program loans, and the community’s continued support of local businesses. “The way our customers supported our store, other stores, and restaurants ... it wasn’t the visitors. It was the local people that wanted us to succeed,” Mullen said. “If you look at a lot of the local businesses, they did what needed to be done to make it.” A wave of new businesses is expected to open downtown soon, Swigger said, which will help fill some of the vacancies. “You can’t see it now,” Swigger said. “But two months from now, it will look a lot different.” SLO Economic Development Manager Lee Johnson confirmed that those downtown properties are seeing “a lot of activity, with people engaged and looking.” “A lot of them are small local businesses coming in,” Johnson said. “All in all, considering we’re coming out of a global pandemic and recession, there’s a lot of interest and activity and good stuff happening. “It takes a little time,” he added. “It’s faster to close than it is to open.” Swigger said that based on her meetings with other downtown association leaders across the country, she believes SLO is in a relatively good position after 15 months of COVID-19. With summer approaching, and two brand-new hotels now up and running downtown, Swigger believes that it’s poised for a big comeback. “The pandemic has been hard, and certainly a lot of businesses have been affected, but we don’t have the towering skyscrapers full of abandoned offices,” she said. “We didn’t see the level of closures, in terms of business licenses, that we expected at the beginning of pandemic. ... I think our downtown in general is actually doing really, really well.”

One big question for SLO coming out of COVID-19 whether the city should make permanent any of the economic programs it ushered in during the pandemic—like parklets for restaurants. The parklet experiment proved extremely popular, Johnson said, with many residents and businesses supporting the city’s shift to a more outdoor- and pedestrian-centric downtown. “I think it’s been very positive,” Johnson said. “We’ve had positive feedback from not only the businesses who have the parklets, but businesses who see that it brought more people downtown.” Parklets weren’t the only change made to downtown in response to the pandemic. The city removed a lane of traffic on Higuera Street and replaced it with a bike lane and made the last stretch of Monterey Street going into Mission Plaza a one-way street. Other outdoor spaces, like Mission Plaza or private parking lots across the city, became new hubs for dining. Johnson said that the SLO City Council will need to decide how much that it wants to keep going forward—in addition to how it wants to invest about $500,000 in economic recovery funds budgeted for 2021-22. The council is set to have a public study session on the topic on July 20. “That’s all kind of being developed at this point,” Johnson said. The city is likely to discuss introducing fees and design standards for the parklets. To date, SLO has not been charging businesses for their use of parklet space, which is usually a public sidewalk or on-street parking spot. Johnson noted that the city lost about $350,000 in parking revenue during the pandemic due to its parking rate reductions and parklet program. While much remains in the air, Downtown SLO’s Swigger praised the parklets as having “completely transformed the downtown environment,” and believes many business owners and patrons will continue to want them around. “That’s created this really fun, more interesting, walkable experience downtown,” Swigger said, adding about the policy change spurred on by the pandemic: “There are some silver linings.” Δ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Same bar, new look

arry’s Night Club and Beach Bar first opened in the 1950s, hardly noticeable among the dozen or so other bars sprinkled throughout downtown Pismo Beach at the time. A lot has changed since then—shirt shops and hotels stand in the spaces that many of Pismo’s long-closed bars once claimed, and Harry’s ownership has changed hands several times over the years— but the actual structure and interior of Harry’s has largely remained untouched. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, putting live music and indoor dining on hold for more than a year, current owner Mike Frey used the unusual series of events to his advantage. “The closure offered us an opportunity to make some repairs and upgrades that we otherwise would have never had an opportunity to do. We’re taking the ultimate lemons and making them lemon drops,” Frey said with a chuckle. Harry’s is getting a serious renovation. First there are the structural repairs—old water lines and electric wiring in need of replacements and updates. Then there are the long awaited cosmetic changes, including all new seating and tables. Frey, a Bakersfield resident who purchased the Pismo Beach staple in 2014, assured New Times that Harry’s beloved bar and dance floor will be essentially unchanged, and the establishment will still be home to two pool tables and the same general divey aura.

“It’s just time for a refresh on some things,” he said. The last major renovation at Harry’s was in 1987, when then owners Paul and Joan Bailey outfitted the building’s once bland exterior with its still existing Western-style siding and shingles. Effie McDermott, a local historian who wrote a book detailing the history of Pismo Beach and its people, said it was the Baileys who truly put Harry’s on the map, through aggressive advertising, live music, and Paul’s reputation for eccentricity. Paul, who often wore layers of expensive jewelry and drove a Rolls-Royce, made the LA Times in 1995, after he was elected mayor of Pismo and sued the city for roughly $10 million over claims that the then police chief had unfairly targeted Harry’s in a drug trafficking investigation. City leaders at that time wanted to put an end to Harry’s. Now, McDermott said, it’s the only bar from that era still standing. “The new hotels and restaurants serve cocktails and have cocktail lounges,” she said, “but Harry’s is the one true ‘bar,’ with live music, dancing, pool, motorcycle parking by the front door, and that an occasional horseback rider has come in the door.” Recent work on Harry’s started almost immediately in the spring of 2020, but Frey said it’s not clear when it will be finished and the bar reopened. He’s gunning for California’s June 15 reopening date, but, with a lot left to do, he’s not too optimistic.

some place for the visitors who missed Harry’s so much,” Frey said. Now, in the meantime, Harry’s is selling some of its old furniture, from bar stools and booths to barrels. “We’re just looking forward to getting back to being open as quick as we can, and very soon we’ll be reaching out to the musicians,” Frey said. “Those are the folks I feel the sorriest for during this thing, because they’ve been really shut out of their livelihood.”

Fast facts

THE LAST MAKEOVER Harry’s Night Club and Beach Bar is in the midst of a major upgrade, for the first time since former owners Paul and Joan Bailey outfitted the building’s exterior with Western-style siding and roofing in the ’80s.

That leaves locals and tourists alike without any Harry’s for the time being, partly because Frey also closed his pandemic-era outdoor venue, Harry’s Corral, in early May to put all his focus on the ongoing renovation. The Corral, which was located outside the Pismo Beach Hotel, was one of the few outdoor live music venues available in South County throughout the most recent months of the pandemic. “So that was nice to be able to have something for the employees to do and

Opinion BY BREE TURNER

Calm down

An EMP wouldn’t cause catastrophic failure to the electrical grid, Al Fonzi

n your May 20 commentary, “Testing Biden,” you mention a few things that I feel need clarification. Yes, better “security” of our computer systems indeed is a good idea. However, the belief of a “catastrophic failure” is a bit of overkill. The recent gas pipeline shutdown was a result of a ransomware attack, and the target wasn’t as much a cyber attack demonstration by any of the countries you mentioned, rather, it was an ordinary, time and time again, blackmail attempt. The blackmail part, with the ensuing payment, was to “protect corporate interests” in terms of damaging information. Had it been what I would call an attack, there would doubtful have been any ransom. The pipeline system was actually rebooted rather quickly, and the biggest headache was the public stupidity in the aftermath, the same thing that happened when COVID-19 hit us. The main difference this time was that toilet paper wasn’t flowing out of a pipe. In an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack, at typical detonation altitudes, the biggest issue is induction of extremely long-wave electromagnetic (radio) waves, and that the grid system acts like a giant antenna. A major voltage surge then occurs, and while spread over a large area, it’s really not any more destructive than a direct lightning strike, which of course doesn’t bring the whole system crashing down, as the grid does have various protection devices. As do a lot of

us with computers, modern electronics, and so forth. We refer to them as surge protectors. In the case of sensitive electronics, according to physics, unless you are right at ground (or air) zero, there isn’t much to worry about. This is evident as the survival of devices improves rapidly with distance, typically only 10 miles away or so. Interestingly, way back in the late ’50s, this was intentionally tested to see what effect a high altitude nuclear detonation would have on the Van Allen belts that encircle our planet. The energy from the detonation (code named Starfish Prime) essentially irritated the closest Van Allen belt. Some systems were knocked offline, notably Hawaii, however, this was also a long time ago, and we certainly didn’t have the surge protection devices we currently utilize. The biggest damage from Starfish Prime was that a communication satellite (TelStar 1) passed through the inner Van Allen belt, and that is what damaged the (new) electronics within. Not all transformers would be destroyed, even with massive surge overloads. Again, the farther away you are, the EMP energy is likewise reduced and absorbed. Calm down, Al Fonzi.

Indigenous communities are key to 30 by 30

President Biden has laid out a 10-year goal of conserving 30 percent of the U.S. by 2030, an inclusive and bold vision for safeguarding America’s lands, water, and wildlife that will support the efforts of people across the country, including rural communities, tribal nations, private landowners, and many others on the frontlines of conserving, stewarding, restoring, using, and enjoying nature. The Northern Chumash Tribal Council applauds the Biden administration’s initial 30 by 30 analysis and commitment not only to conservation, but to cooperative protection of our lands and ocean. We thank President Biden and his administration for making conservation, protection, and the movement toward 30 by 30 a priority. The president is walking the talk when it comes to prioritizing Indigenous leadership, rights, and knowledge in conservation. Each community of Indigenous people is the expert on the land and water where they live. This knowledge and history is critical to community-led conservation. As the Chumash people know well, Indigenous communities have always been a part of the ecosystem, not apart from it, and our historical memories and knowledge are key to conservation moving forward. The Northern Chumash Tribal Council and the Indigenous Communities around the world are working to provide solutions to assist Grandmother Oceans in the ever-expanding troubling challenges that we face today. We hold in our hearts deep reverence for Grandmother Ocean, Mother Earth, and all living things. Preservation of tribal spiritual and cultural resources is our heritage and responsibility. Successful implementation of 30 by 30 efforts and the expeditious designation of the Chumash

Heritage National Marine Sanctuary would protect marine abundance and sacred cultural Chumash sites, strengthening Indigenous communities and serving as a model of environmental justice. Violet Sage Walker Northern Chumash Tribal Council spokesperson Avila Beach

Amplify the voice of hip-hop in our community

The No. 1 selling genre of music in the world is pop music, largely in part to the No. 2 genre of music in the world, hip-hop. In 2006, media giants like Viacom and Clear Channel started believing in the earning potential of hip-hop. Viacom staked their claim by green-lighting shows like Flavor of Love on their previously all-pop network. Clear Channel did the same by allowing artists like Kanye West to grace their airwaves for the first time in 10-plus years. The adoption of the sub-culture by mainstream broadcasting giants led to exponential growth that opened the doors for top-selling artists like Drake, Post Malone, and Kendrick Lamar, yet small towns like SLO refuse to accept hip-hop as an institutional art form. They fail to realize that they’re signaling to two generations of constituents that they don’t care about a culture that raised us. When local restaurants and business make it a point to exclude our music from their playlists, they may not realize that it signals to us that our patronage is less valuable than others. When parents and grandparents go out of their way to express their disdain for the way the young express themselves, children and grandchildren translate that as a sign their interests are of no interest to the ones they love, and that has lasting effects. Community is built on inclusion, and it should go beyond people from cultures you’re most comfortable with. Lorde Sanctus Connect the Coast SLO

n May 6, the Biden administration outlined a vision for how the United States can conserve and restore the lands, waters, and wildlife that sustain the nation. The recommendations in the 24-page report, “Conserving and Restoring America the Beautiful,” calling for “a locally led nationwide conservation goal to conserve 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.” As I’ve mentioned previously, California was first out of the gate to commit to the “30 by 30” goal, with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Executive Order N-82-20 last October committing the state to the plan now endorsed by the Biden administration on a national scale. With the release of the administration’s vision document, things are getting real, and the core principles in that document spell out just what the conservation and restoration of America the Beautiful means. By uncanny coincidence, the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary— proposed for 140 miles of coastline from Gaviota Creek in Santa Barbara County to Santa Rosa Creek in Cambria and containing biologically productive and diverse ecosystems such as kelp, wetlands, and estuaries—checks every one of those boxes. The report affirms the goal of supporting locally led and locally designed conservation efforts: “Agencies should support collaborative conservation efforts across the country on private, state, local, tribal, and territorial lands. Similarly, marine conservation efforts should reflect regional priorities and seek to achieve balanced stewardship across U.S. ocean areas.” (Check.) The report affirms the goal of honoring tribal sovereignty and supporting the priorities of tribal nations: “Efforts to conserve and restore America’s lands and waters must involve regular, meaningful, and robust consultation with tribal nations. … Federal agencies should seek to support and help advance the priorities of American Indian, Alaska native, native Hawaiian, and Indigenous leaders, including those related to sustainable land management and the conservation of natural, cultural, and historical resources.” (Check.) The report affirms the goal of pursuing conservation and restoration approaches that create jobs and support healthy communities: “A healthy ocean, for example, supports productive fisheries and vibrant working waterfronts. … A locally driven, nationally scaled conservation campaign over the next decade can help lift America’s economy, address environmental justice, and improve quality of life.” (Check.) The report affirms the goal of honoring private property rights and supporting the voluntary stewardship efforts of private landowners and fishers: “U.S. working lands and waters give our nation food and fiber and keep rural and coastal communities healthy and prosperous. They are also integral to conserving functioning habitats and connecting lands and waters across the country.” (Check.) The report affirms the goal of using science as a guide: “Conservation efforts are more successful and effective when rooted in the best available science and informed by the recommendations of top scientists and subject matter experts. Transparent and accessible information will increase shared understanding and help build trust among stakeholders and the public. The use of Indigenous and traditional ecological knowledge can complement and integrate these efforts.” (Check.)

The report affirms that it will build on existing tools and strategies with an emphasis on flexibility and adaptive approaches—including “using the stakeholder-driven processes for marine fisheries management and sanctuary designations.” (Double check.) And finally, there is the overarching statement that the administration’s vision for 30 by 30 recognizes that “many uses of our lands and waters, including of working lands, can be consistent with the longterm health and sustainability of natural systems,” i.e. fishermen keep fishing in national marine sanctuaries, which pride themselves on the fact that “while resource protection is the primary goal of the program, multiple use of the marine environment is allowed as long as it is compatible with this goal.” Then there’s the recent statement by Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) “should expand the national marine sanctuary system.” Then there’s the directive from Congress, in its latest appropriation for NOAA, directing the agency to proceed with the designation of all five nominated sanctuaries it has in inventory. The Chumash Heritage sanctuary nomination has been waiting in that inventory for more than five years. All credit to the Northern Chumash Tribal Council for persisting through the exhaustive nomination process and for renewing that nomination last year, prior to the five-year expiration mark. In 2020, NOAA issued a request for public comments on the proposed sanctuary and received more than 14,300 comments overwhelmingly in support, including letters of support from local officials and state and federal legislators. “Preservation of tribal spiritual and cultural resources is our heritage and responsibility,” says Violet Sage Walker, spokesperson for the Northern Chumash Tribal Council. “Successful implementation of this plan and the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary would protect marine abundance, sacred Chumash sites, strengthen Indigenous communities, and serve as a model of environmental justice.” An opportunity to contribute to state and national 30 by 30 goals by advancing the first tribal-led national marine sanctuary designation, setting a precedent for elevating Indigenous participation and cultural values in state and federal ocean conservation, is now at hand in our backyard, having arrived at the right place at the right time. ∆ Andrew Christie is the director of the Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club.

The grumpiest place

ey everyone, San Luis Obispo County is finally famous, again! But it’s not for wine, beautiful beaches, and outdoor recreational opportunities. It’s not for being the home of the Happiest Place in America. Although, we might get tagged as the Grumpiest Place in America, if you listen to the disgruntled members of the Republican Party of San Luis Obispo (RPSLO) who happen to own a majority of members on the county Board of Supervisors—although you wouldn’t know it by the level of whining coming out of their mouths. And it’s not even District Attorney Dan Dow’s crusade against policebrutality protesters, Tianna Arata’s freeway protest court case, or the attorneys involved in that case accusing every member of local law enforcement of being a white supremacist. But it is associated with ex-President Donald “I’ve been canceled” Trump. Yay! I love being famous! This county got a shoutout on The Rachel Maddow Show “for the dumbest reason,” as the SLO Street Medics put on their Instagram story. “Keeping it classy SLO County.” Is it because some ignoramus called into the SLO County Board of Supervisors May 4 and asked SLO County Clerk-

Recorder Tommy Gong if he had a relationship with the Chinese Communist Party? Yes. At least this county’s right-wing nutters can no longer claim they aren’t actually racist. Because that shit was on the record for all to hear! Gotcha! But that was just the icing on the conspiracist idiot cake. Really, Maddow’s targets were the hundreds of “residents” who called in to that meeting to suddenly question the integrity of the local 2020 election and the top election official. And so there our little county was, showcased after segments on the Israeli/ Palestinian conflict and unwanted hysterectomies at an ICE facility. SLO County had the distinct honor of taking its place right in the middle of a segment about Republican Party antics in Maricopa County, Arizona, over the 2020 election—you know, the disjointed and unprofessional “fake audit clown show,” as Maddow put it. #Proud. But our fame started with a Washington Post article in which both Gong and RPSLO Chair Randall Jordan were interviewed about the hours of phone calls in to the supervisors meeting. Move over, Danny boy! Our district attorney’s 15 minutes of national fame over his antiprotest antics are apparently over. Thank God. And yes, I’m talking to his god. Gong told The Post that he’d never heard of a “forensic audit” when it came to elections—but apparently a few dozen

extremely “well” informed callers knew more than the 15-year elections veteran, because they all repeated it verbatim, alongside several other statements they parroted from a group called Election Integrity Project California. Jordan has apparently ingratiated himself to this so-called integrity project even though he doesn’t actually believe that any fraud took place during the 2020 election. What?! He told New Times as much right after the November election and repeated his belief in non-fraud to The Post for its May 19 story. WTF Randall? Get your disciples in line up there! Don’t cave to the crazies (even though I would argue that you might actually be borderline). His connection with the “integrity” project is pure: He wants to restore faith in elections, he told The Post. “He said he does not believe the 2020 vote was rigged, but thinks it is essential to restore faith among those who believe voting is a ‘waste of time’ because of reports of fraud,” The Post stated. No! Leave them to their non-faith. Keep them in a vegetative state on their couch in front of Fox News and Trump TV! They are sheeple. (See what I did there?) Plus, I want my American flag back. “The public has the right to ask for fair and honest elections and not take the word of our officials who have lied to us in the past,” he told them. Oh, you mean like Trump?! Lol, Randall. The irony is dripping off the cardboard cutouts of Trump and his family proudly displayed in RPSLO’s Atascadero headquarters.

It’s also ironic how much the conservative members of the Board of Supervisors want to ask the state to limit future elections, when they also lost their marbles over the Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) daring to prohibit Styrofoam in the county. The Republican-owned supes are throwing a conniption fit because their attempt to thwart the alreadypassed ordinance from becoming a reality was itself thwarted. Thanks to one smarty-pants lawyer, SLO City Councilmember Jan Marx, who also serves on the IWMA board and can read the fine print, they are threatening to get rid of the IWMA by claiming that it’s too much government! #Adulttempertantrum. So people like 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold are all about dismantling the agency—which oversees and coordinates waste collection in cities and the county—because it’s “big” government imposing Styrofoam bans on cities that don’t want it. Yet, she is the very same government official who basically cajoled the board into creating a new body to try to impose her will on almost all of North County when it comes to water because of a conspiracy theory about water pirates stealing groundwater and selling it to the highest bidder. I can’t even with these people. ∆ The Shredder is a grumpy SLO County resident with too much time to kill. Send complaints to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10- year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Taylor Frigon Core Growth Fund was rated against the following numbers of Mid-Cap Growth funds over the following time periods: 559 funds in the last three years. There is no Morningstar rating for 5yr or 10yr period. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Unfinished Business rocks Barefoot Concerts on the Green

nfinished Business band leader Ed Miller spent years as an FBI agent, but what he always wanted to do was play rock ’n’ roll. After seeing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show as an 11-year-old, he begged his parents for an electric guitar and practiced, practiced, practiced. He was in his first band by 14, and though he kept his hand in music, his law enforcement career eventually subsumed his music dreams. Then he retired from the FBI, started Unfinished Business in 2003, and they’ve been going strong ever since … except for that pesky last 14 months or so. Now they’re back at the next Barefoot Concerts on the Green at Sea Pines Golf Resort & Spa on Saturday, May 29 (2 p.m.; free). The show kicks off with a set by singer-songwriter Charlie Baker, followed at 3 p.m. by Unfinished Business, playing “the most memorable rock, pop, and soul hits of the 1960s, with an occasional iconic hit from the ’50s, ’70s, or ’80s sprinkled in,” according to Miller. You’ll definitely hear Beatles covers, but also stuff by The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Temptations, The Lovin’ Spoonful, The Association, Santana, Procol Harum, Sly and The Family Stone, James Brown, Question Mark and The Mysterians, The Kinks, The Zombies, Free, Kenny Loggins, Deep Purple, The Doors, and more.

Hit the Trails

If you were hoping to see Jerry’s Middle Finger at SLO Brew Rock on May 28, you’re out of luck. It sold out quick! But you can catch Cali reggae, surf, and psychedelic rock act Sensi Trails on Saturday, May 29 (6:30 p.m.; free), on the beer garden stage. “After releasing a five-song EP, lead singer and guitarist Kyle Rising decided to relocate from Outer Banks, North Carolina, to San Diego,” according to press materials, where he gathered his new

band. “Honoring the sounds that inspired them, while mixing in fresh themes and styles, Sensi Trails is finishing their debut album. With the chemistry of catchy songs and infectious vibes, they travel the open road, on a quest to play and spread their music to the world.”

Songwriters at Play

Steve Key’s long-running series that features singer-songwriters from all over is back in full force. On Saturday, May 29, Key with special guests blues and country artist Katie Chappell and Americana songbird Ynana Rose play Paso’s Sculpterra Winery (12:30 to 3:30 p.m.; free). Steve Bernal and Alex Van Brasch will also play short sets. Later than night, Key appears with fiddler Sarah Blick and alt-pop singersongwriter Katie Ferrara at Morro Bay’s Libertine Pub (7 to 10 p.m.; free). Blick did a three-year tour with Chicagobased duo Sugar Still, and Ferrara has two indie albums out, and her music has appeared in the TV show Good Witch. Finally, on Wednesday, June 2, Key will head to Puffers of Pismo with Bakersfield balladeer Tim Styles and LA-based touring artist Pi Jacobs swapping songs in the round (7 p.m.; free; 21-and-older).

Do it for the kids

The Paso Robles Youth Arts Center is hosting Backyard Jam, a benefit concert, on Wednesday, June 2 (5 to 8 p.m.; $75 tickets include two beers from The Backyard and one dish from Roots on the Railroad; call (805) 238-5825 or pryoutharts.org/backyard-jam). Featuring performers from the Youth Arts Center—some current students and some alumni—all performing to raise money for the free visual and performing arts program, it’s a great opportunity to give to an organization that gives so much to the Paso community. “We are so excited to hear our band students perform live because this event is all about them! Seventeen current and alumni band members will play familiar favorites and some will even debut their own songs at the event,” according to organizers.

Return of the Real Blues Jam

Next Thursday, June 3, the Real Blues Jam at the Pour House returns to the patio (6 to 9 p.m.), organized by intrepid award-winning singersongwriter Ted Waterhouse. “This is an event that has been sharing great blues and American roots music with audiences and musicians at a series of venues around SLO,” Waterhouse explained. “Featuring bassist/vocalist Bruce Willard and drummer Dean Giles as the Real Blues Rhythm Section, the jam always draws a great lineup of blues-loving guest musicians and vocalists to join in the fun onstage—not to mention a loyal following of music fans and dancers from throughout the county and beyond.” Who knows who might show up to jam? Maybe you? “All blues oriented musicians—guitarists, harp players, keyboardists, bassists,

I don’t usually cover Santa Maria. I leave that to our sister paper the Santa Maria Sun. I also don’t write about shows that have no published location, but you’re smart and will figure out how to find All the Smoke happening in Santa Maria on Saturday, May 29 ($5 cover; 3 to 8 p.m.; 18-and-older; masks required; direct message organizers for the spot … try Instagram). Hosted by Blue Diamond & The Gutted Cigar, the event will feature live performances from Mic Bles, Mark 4ord, OG David James, Lil Bonez, Shaiidamac, Rodo G, Central Coast Beat Social, and performers linked to local hip-hop label Connect the Coast. There will be live graffiti, food, and more. Connect the Coast and its CEO Lorde Sanctus are doing the impossible— getting out hip-hop, R&B, and rap sounds and culture to the lily-white Central Coast. One artist under their umbrella is Cav, also known as DJ Brotha C, who helmed club-based dance parties and karaoke nights pre-pandemic. According to Lorde Sanctus, Cav spend the pandemic reinventing himself into an R&B singer and recording a three-song self-titled EP. The EP’s first single, “I Think I’m in Love,” dropped May 7 on all major streaming platforms. Co-written by Lorde Sanctus and Cav, it’s a punchy crunchy R&B track featuring emcee D BANKS.

Gallery at Marina Square presents two new watercolor exhibits

Gallery at Marina Square in Morro Bay will hold two new exhibitions, showcasing watercolor paintings by local artists Ardella Swanberg (in the lower gallery) and Nancy Jensen (in the upper gallery), from Tuesday, June 1, through Tuesday, June 29. Both Swanberg and Jensen will be present at a special meet and greet opening reception on Saturday, June 12, from 5 to 7 p.m. Raised in Garden Grove, California, Swanberg has called the Central Coast her home for the past 25 years. Many of her paintings were inspired by the various places she has lived, including a cattle ranch north of Cayucos, a home near the Morro Bay harbor, and other spots. Also a Central Coast local, Jensen strives to “capture and preserve joy” in her watercolor works, according to press materials. The subjects of Jensen’s paintings include “the fruits of the harvest in local vineyards, the springtime surprises of bright wildflowers and blooming gardens, the fresh produce of local farms, and the gift of the sea scattered on local sandy beaches.” Visit galleryatmarinasquare. com for more info. ∆ —Caleb Wiseblood

Currently featured at SLOMA and soon-to-be showcased at the Santa Maria Airport, Denise Gimbel discusses her latest abstract paintings

hat usually gets abstract artist Denise Gimbel inspired to paint is simply whatever is surrounding her at the moment, even when said surroundings are shifting at a rapid pace—outside her car window on the highway for example. “I started noticing all the lovely barns along my recent drives up and down the coast and appreciated the sense of shelter and safety they represented,” said Gimbel, explaining the story behind her recent painting series, Shape of Shelter. “Abstracting the profile, or roof shape, was a start, then I decided to combine the patterns of quilts or tile to increase the sense of home and shelter.” Gimbel said she chose to use warm colors in the “red family” for the interior of her abstract barn shapes and cooler blues and grays for the exterior in order to illustrate “the contrast of danger and peril outside and safety and shelter inside” in her latest works. “I’m sure this series reflects the ambivalence I feel as we come out of our COVID-19 hibernation and brave the social world and the idea of travel,” Gimbel said. Gimbel has completed three paintings in her Shape of Shelter series so far, Wolf at the Door, Batten the Hatches, and Random Storms, which will be on display at her next public exhibit in

TAKE FLIGHT Selections from Denise Gimbel’s Flight of Spring series will also be included in the Santa Maria Airport showcase, hosted by the Valley Art Gallery, including Waft (pictured). The exhibit will debut in June.

Although the SLOMA exhibit has been available to view virtually since its debut in April, the public will get a brief opportunity to see it in person following the museum’s grand reopening on May 29, albeit for two days only as the show comes to a close on May 31. But whichever route prospective viewers choose to take, virtually or in person, Gimbel said one of her favorite parts of exhibiting in either format is getting feedback on her work. “I love to hear from viewers about how they feel when they enter my artistic world,” Gimbel said. “An artist really pours emotion and soul into a piece, and the hope is that it will speak to a viewer and cause a similar emotion.” In that respect, it’s fair to say Gimbel enjoys entering the artistic worlds of others during her painting process, as she almost always puts music on in the background while she paints. “Music has been an important part of my entire life, so having it as a backdrop to my painting just feels natural,” said Gimbel, who usually likes to put on the eclectic mix of jazz and world music found on KCBX’s Morning Cup program, before switching to classical with KUSC in the afternoon. Listening to music also lends itself to Gimbel’s process of intuitive mark making, which allows her hand to “dance” over the canvas, she explained, with an occasional break here and there for dance in the more traditional sense. “The music ends up being a background ‘white noise’ as I concentrate on my painting, breaking through as I come up for a stretch or stand back and survey my progress— sometimes eliciting a wiggle or a full-out dance to shake it out before I dive back in,” Gimbel said. ∆ Calendar Editor Caleb Wiseblood wrote this with music in the background.

Split Screen

ZOMBIE FOOD A team of mercenaries infiltrates a walled-off Las Vegas infested with zombies in a bid to steal $200 million from a casino’s underground vault, in Army of the Dead, screening on Netflix.

ARMY OF THE DEAD

What’s it rated? R When? 2021 Where’s it showing? Netflix What’s it worth, Anna? Matinee What’s it worth, Glen? Matinee

Glen If you’re a fan of Zack Snyder’s brand of excessive filmmaking, you’ll no doubt enjoy this violent, gory romp. On the other hand, if you’re annoyed by filmmaking that seems to want to throw everything but the kitchen sink into a film, you’re going to despise this over-the-top, trashy pile of nonsense. Even if you’re in the second category, you still may want to watch this for Tig Notaro, who’s absolutely hilarious as Marianne Peters, a deadpan helicopter pilot. Dave Bautista stars as Scott Ward, who’s hired by the mysterious businessman Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada), whose $200 million is sitting in a safe ripe for the taking. Ward rounds up a crew that includes experienced zombie killers, and to up the emotional ante, Ward’s estranged daughter, Kate (Ella Purnell), comes along for the ride. German safecracker Dieter (Matthias Schweighöfer) is also hired, which seems dumb since you’d assume Tanaka would know the combination to his own safe and just hand it over to the team, but Dieter makes for great comic relief. To top it off, things aren’t quite as they seem. Tanaka’s head of security, Martin (Garret Dillahunt), also comes along to supervise the operation, though there’s definitely something shady about him. At nearly 2 1/2 hours, Snyder takes his time introducing us to the various characters, so despite the long list, it isn’t confusing, but it is pretty glib and sort of dumb. The film picks up speed when the team is eventually guided into the quarantine zone by The Coyote, Lilly (Nora Arnezeder). Turns out not all zombies are created equal, and Vegas is run by Zeus (Richard Cetrone), who’s making more smart zombies like himself. It’s one thing to take out “shamblers”— the slow mindless undead—it’s another to go up against Zeus and his army of fast-moving flesh eaters. Cue exploding blood bags.

Anna You definitely can’t analyze the storyline too intricately without seeing some major flaws right away. That said, this was a pretty fun, pretty gross romp through a zombie world, and the ensemble is a good mix of funny folks and badasses. My faves are definitely Notaro’s deadpan Peters and Schweighöfer’s Dieter—an inexperienced zombie slayer who isn’t prepared for the sheer amount of gore in store for him. The storyline between Scott and Kate, and the rebuilding of their father-daughter relationship is pretty unoriginal, but it helps move things along and gives the characters something to do with any downtime. It definitely made me laugh a few times and made me say “yuck!” a few times more as guts went flying all over the place. I wasn’t a fan of the zombies at first—they don’t fit the normal zombie mold—but once we realized they’re working to build their own army of the smarter, faster undead, I got into it. It’s a long run, but I had fun watching it and I didn’t get bored, so kudos to Snyder for that! Glen He’s certainly returned to his roots with this film. Snyder’s feature film debut was the 2004 remake of George A. Romero’s 1978 zombie classic Dawn of the Dead. Snyder followed with 300 (2006), about Sparta’s epic battle against the Persians in 480 B.C. He’s a slick filmmaker with a knack for depicting stylized violence. His 2011 fantasy Sucker Punch, about an institutionalized and abused girl who retreats into an alternative reality, is one of his best and most underrated films. By the time he was plucked to direct Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and finally Justice League, he was Hollywood royalty. In a break from all these big violent films, he’s next directing an adaptation of Ayn Rand’s novel Fountainhead, about a

young architect battling for artistic freedom. Seems like a weird choice, and I hope he has the good sense to skewer Rand’s sophomoric brand of libertarianism. Snyder really is an indulgent filmmaker, and Army of the Dead is nowhere near his best, but it’s a fun diversion if you can stomach the gore. It also gives Bautista an opportunity to stretch his acting muscles. In his scenes with his movie daughter, you almost forget he’s a 6-foot-4 former pro wrestler. There are also better zombie films out there, but for fans of the genre, watching this is a no-brainer … pun sadly intended. Anna Bautista was a fun choice, and seeing Las Vegas in tatters is pretty fun, too. Superhero flicks aren’t always my thing, so I’ve missed some of Snyder’s work there, but I love a good zombie movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and Army of the Dead certainly fits that bill. It’s gross and gory and totally over the top, the characters all have their own brand of snark, and there’s enough comic relief to stay light. It’s fun enough to ignore the flaws in the storyline and ride along as this group gets pulled apart. Some get eaten, some sacrifice themselves, some make it out unscathed. There’s a nuke headed toward the city to try to wipe out the zombie colony, so of course the team is up against the wire, and time is not on their side. It keeps things rolling, and the film never gets boring. Like you said, fans of the genre will probably have fun with this one, and if zombies aren’t your thing, I doubt this is on your watch list anyway. ∆ Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and freelancer Anna Starkey write Split Screen.

A WILDERNESS OF ERROR

What’s it rated? TV-MA When? 2020 Where’s it showing? Hulu

ncarcerated since 1979 after being convicted of brutally murdering his pregnant wife and two young daughters, Jeffrey MacDonald maintains his story that a group of hippies broke into their home and slaughtered his family. Director Marc Smerling takes us on a journey through MacDonald’s trial with the help of writer Errol Morris and highlights the disjointed facts that led him to the conclusion that MacDonald is an innocent man. Morris wrote a book in 2012 of the same name, and the documentary version walks us through interviews and reenactments, piecing together an alternative scenario that puts these seemingly Manson-inspired murders in new light. There is a woman convinced she was there that night but didn’t take part in the murder, but her narrative is less that airtight and her story morphs from one minute to the next. We don’t get any answers here, instead

DID HE OR DIDN’T HE? Based on Errol Morris’ book and featuring him in interview, A Wilderness of Error tries to make sense of the notorious Jeffrey MacDonald murder case, available on Hulu. just a look at the case and subsequent appeals. It didn’t convince me of MacDonald’s innocence, but it certainly cast some doubt on the trial and behind-the-door goings on. True crime fans will appreciate this intricate look at a vicious crime that still remains largely wrapped in mystery. (five episodes totaling 236 min.) —Anna

goraphobic child psychologist, Anna (Amy Adams), watches from her dark and empty brownstone as a new family moves in across the street. In a clear nod to Hitchcock’s 1954 Rear Window, Anna realizes right away that life for the family is less than idyllic. She first meets teenager Ethan Russell (Fred Hechinger) when he comes to deliver cookies. He’s a strange kid but seems harmless enough.

Anna picks up right away that Ethan’s home life is complicated and his father is a stern and possibly violent man. When Jane Russell (Julianne Moore) comes over, the two bond over wine, and Anna starts to feel she may have a friend even in her closed-off world. Also in Anna’s life is basement tenant David (Wyatt Russell), whose patience with Anna has worn thin, but who also cares for his landlord and understands her complicated and debilitating condition. The tension comes to a head when Anna witnesses a brutal crime through her window and she can’t get anyone to believe what she saw. It’s a taut and twisty thriller that keeps the surprises coming right until the end. (100 min.) ∆ —Anna

Brews and bites Los Osos/Baywood locals revive a community gathering place on the bay with a little help from longtime customers

he sweet, smoky scent of bacon sizzling away in the kitchen floated over Beerwood’s patio on a recent Thursday as the restaurant prepped for lunch. Black outdoor couch cushions soaked up the heat of a day heading toward noon, making it feel warmer than Baywood’s 60 or so degrees as co-owner Annie Steinmann talked about their first month and a half in business. “It was nuts. It’s just a community spot. Everyone walks from their house. Kids run around like maniacs,” Steinmann said. “It’s awesome.” Beerwood opened on April 3, bringing a beloved Baywood spot back to life after The Old Alehouse closed in December 2019. Prior to the Alehouse, it was the Baywood Tavern. Steinmann, who started working at the location when she was 17 years old, said she served customers at both. It’s also the spot where she and her husband, Alex Flores, went on their first date—when they also talked about what they would do if they owned the spot. “Alex and I have been planning this for seven years. We’ve thought about it in every detail. We’ve been thinking about it forever— the details,” she said with a laugh. “We knew what we were doing. We were ready.” Flores also worked there. They met and planned with their future business partners there, Blake Lohman and husband and wife Troy Gatchell and Liana Harlan, talked about the roles each would take on. Steinmann and Flores take care of the front and back of the house, Gatchell’s on the books, Harlan takes care of social media/web, and Lohman is the handyman, making sure everything stays in working order. Together, they watched the little patio and beer pub on Santa Maria Avenue evolve and change over the years, keeping its ever-present community of customers, who supported it as a place to gather. “We were equally as much fans as we were employees of the previous places here,” Flores said. “We needed it for our community, and we learned a lot from it.” Originally, Flores said, the plan was to lease the building. The team of partners started working on transforming the place into what they envisioned. But a month in, Flores said, they got a text from the building’s owners, who had decided they wanted to sell it. “It was crazy. It was roller coaster,” Steinmann said. “We did not want to buy the building.” But plans change. After that text, Gatchell said, they reached out to everyone they knew to try to pull together the funds to purchase the building. Banks weren’t lending money for commercial enterprises like theirs, he said, because it was the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

CHARCUTERIE, PAIRED At Beerwood, gourmet cheeses and cured meats can be paired with either wine or beer.

FLAVOR BOMBS Lobo’s sliders contain chorizo and beef patties served with grilled onions, tomatoes, arugula, and Beerwood aioli on a brioche bun.

Family from all over the world chipped into the fund, as well as longtime customers who said they could help with little chunks here and there just so they could get it open and the community could once again have an outdoor spot to gather. In two days, they pooled the money they needed and closed a two-week escrow in August 2020. “We wouldn’t be here without them,” Gatchell said of the community. “We had people come down and volunteer time to help us.” Together, they brought the abandoned patio and building back to life. Clearing weeds, leveling the patio and pouring concrete, building new wood fencing, and planting a garden. “Eighty percent of the plants and flowers here were brought by community members and customers. It’s been quite a stone soup style endeavor,” Flores said. “We just kind of wanted to bring it back,” Gatchell added. “Hanging out down here, you’re always running into friends and people you meet over the years. … It’s been a journey actually.” People would drive by as they were working and ask them when they were opening, Gatchell said. At one point, Steinmann said, a longtime customer stopped by to ask a favor. He and his wife used to come into

the Alehouse once or twice a week for lunch and a couple of beers. But at the beginning of the pandemic, both were diagnosed with cancer. Although Gene was able to weather the illness, his wife unfortunately didn’t. He asked if he could spread some of his wife’s ashes in the garden as it was being planted so he could still come by and have lunch with her. That’s the kind of place the building on Santa Maria Avenue is and what it means to the community of Baywood. And now that they’re open, Gatchell said the No. 1 comment has been that the food is amazing. Something Flores attributes to the fact that almost everyone in the kitchen is a mother—so there’s a little bit of extra care and love in the plates they serve. Sauteed Brussels sprouts with garlic, Parmesan, and olive oil and a choice of bacon, chorizo, specialty cheese. Avocado Caesar salad with tomatoes, cucumber, and capers. Breakfast all day. Chorizo and beef sliders with grilled onions and garlic, arugula, tomatoes, white cheddar, and Beerwood aioli served on a brioche bun. And let’s not forget about the charcuterie boards. “The best charcuterie on the Central Coast, I will say that. It’s insane,” Steinmann said. Giant wooden platters (made by a neighbor) are packed with cheeses, cured meats, nuts, fruits, olives, and fresh bread. You can also get a sausage board with a medley of Cayucos

Sausage Company sausages. They even have a chocolate charcuterie board, which contains different housemade chocolates with seasonal fresh fruit (from the farmers’ market that happens every week on the streets outside their front door). Let’s not forget the beer, either. With 12 taps, for now, and plans to bring in more as well as the potential for avid homebrewer Gatchell to craft some of his own beer in the future, the beer-soaked tradition of the Tavern and Alehouse lives on at Beerwood. It’s a place for brews, food, and fun. Beerwood’s owners see it as an investment in their neighborhood, a place that allows the small community to continue as it was and a space to live out their dreams. “I think it comes down to the right time and the right people,” Gatchell said. “Everyone thinks you’re crazy buying a bar and restaurant in the middle of [a pandemic]. Where there’s chaos, there’s opportunity as well.” Δ Editor Camillia Lanham is a fan of those chorizo-beef sliders. Send food news to clanham@newtimesslo.com.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: What image or symbol represents the fulfillment of your noble desires? Freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Open your mouth only if what you are going to say is more beautiful than silence,” declares an Arab proverb. That’s a high standard to aspire to. Even at our very best, when we’re soaring with articulate vitality, it’s hard to be more beautiful than silence for more than, say, 50 percent of the time. But here’s a nice surprise: You could exceed that benchmark during the next three weeks. You’re primed to be extra expressive and interesting. When you speak, you could be more beautiful than silence as much as 80 percent of the time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Here’s the definition of an emotional support animal: “a companion animal that provides therapeutic benefit to a person with a mental or psychiatric disability.” I don’t mean to be flippant, but I think every one of us has at least one mental or psychiatric disability that would benefit from the company of an emotional support animal. If you were ever going to acquire such an ally, the coming weeks would be prime time to do so. I encourage you to also seek out other kinds of help and guidance and stimulation that you’d benefit from having. It’s the resourcegathering phase of your cycle. (PS: Cesar Chavez said: “You are never strong enough that you don’t need help.”)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A blogger named Valentine Cassius reports, “A tiny old woman came into the deli where I work and ordered a ‘wonderful turkey sandwich.’ When asked what she wanted on the sandwich other than turkey, she said ‘all of your most wonderful toppings.’” Here’s my response to that: The tiny old woman’s approach usually isn’t very effective. It’s almost always preferable to be very specific in knowing what you want and asking for it. But given the current astrological omens, I’ll make an exception for you in the next three weeks. I think you should be like the tiny old woman: Ask life, fate, people, spirits, and gods to bring you all of their most wonderful toppings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I am tired of trying to hold things together that cannot be held,” testifies Cancerian novelist Erin Morgenstern. “Tired of trying to control what cannot be controlled.” Here’s good news for her and all Cancerians. You have cosmic permission to surrender—to no longer try to hold things together that can’t be held or try to control what can’t be controlled. Maybe in a few weeks you will have gained so much relaxed new wisdom that you’ll be inspired to make fresh attempts at holding together and controlling. But that’s not for you to worry and wonder about right now. Your assignment is to nurture your psychological and spiritual health by letting go.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Philosopher Georges Bataille wrote, “The lesson of Wuthering Heights, of Greek tragedy and, ultimately, of all religions, is that there is an instinctive tendency towards divine intoxication which the rational world of calculation cannot bear. This tendency is the opposite of Good. Good is based on common interest, which entails consideration of the future.” I’m going to dissent from Bataille’s view. I agree that we all have an instinctive longing for divine intoxication, but I believe that the rational world needs us to periodically fulfill our longing for divine intoxication. In fact, the rational world grows stale and begins to decay without these interludes. So the truth is that divine intoxication is crucial for the common good. I’m telling you this, Leo, because I think the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to claim a healthy dose of divine intoxication.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo actor Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982) won the most prestigious awards possible for her work in films, TV, and theater: Oscars, Emmys, and a Tony. She was intelligent, talented, and beautiful. Life was a challenge when she was growing up, though. She testified, “I was the shyest human ever invented, but I had a lion inside me that

wouldn’t shut up.” If you have a sleeping lion inside you, Virgo, I expect it to wake up soon. And if your inner lion is already wide awake and you have a decent relationship with it, I suspect it may soon begin to come into its fuller glory.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran author Antonio Tabucchi described the frame of mind I recommend for you in the coming days. I hope you’ll be eager to embrace his far-reaching empathy. Like him, I trust you will expand your capacity to regard the whole world as your home. Here’s Tabucchi’s declaration: “Like a blazing comet, I’ve traversed infinite nights, interstellar spaces of the imagination, voluptuousness, and fear. I’ve been a man, a woman, an old person, a little girl, I’ve been the crowds on the grand boulevards of the capital cities of the West, I’ve been the serene Buddha of the East. I’ve been the sun and the moon.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Author James Frey writes, “I used to think I was tough, but then I realized I wasn’t. I was fragile and I wore thick armor. And I hurt people so they couldn’t hurt me. And I thought that was what being tough was, but it isn’t.” I agree with Frey. The behavior he describes has nothing to do with being tough. So what does? That’s important for you to think about, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to be tough in the best senses of the word. Here are my definitions: Being tough means never letting people disrespect you or abuse you, even as you cultivate empathy for how wounded everyone is. Being tough means loving yourself with such unconditional grace that you never act unkind out of a neurotic need to over-defend yourself. Being tough means being a compassionate truth-teller.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Fragile intensity or intense fragility? Ferocious gentleness or gentle ferocity? Vulnerable strength or strong vulnerability? I suspect these will be some of the paradoxical themes with which you’ll be delicately wrestling in the coming days. Other possibilities: sensitive audacity or audacious sensitivity; fluidic fire or fiery fluidity; crazy wisdom or wise craziness; penetrating softness or soft penetration; shaky poise or poised shakiness. My advice is to regard rich complexities like these as blessings, not confusions or inconveniences.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Birds that live in cities have come up with an ingenious adaptation. They use humans’ abandoned cigarette butts to build their nests. Somehow they discovered that nicotine is an insectide that dispels pests like fleas, lice, and mites. Given your current astrological aspects, I’m guessing you could make metaphorically comparable adjustments in your own life. Are there ways you could use scraps and discards to your benefit?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A blogger named Raven testifies, “My heart is a toddler throwing a tantrum in a store and my brain is the parent who continues to shop.” I’m pleased to inform you, Aquarius, that your heart will NOT act like that toddler in the coming weeks. In fact, I believe your heart will be like a sage elder with growing wisdom in the arts intimacy and tenderness. In my vision of your life, your heart will guide you better than maybe it ever has. Now here’s a message to your brain: Listen to your heart!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Voyager 1 space probe, launched by NASA in 1977, is now more than 14 billion miles from Earth. In contrast, the farthest humans have ever penetrated into the ground is 7.62 miles. It’s the Kola Superdeep Borehole in northwest Russia. Metaphorically speaking, these facts provide an evocative metaphor for the following truth: Most humans feel more confident and expansive about exploring the outer world than their inner realms. But I hope that in the coming weeks you will buck that trend, as you break all previous records for curious and luxurious exploration into your deepest psychic depths. ∆
