Nonprofit builder gets stop work order at proposed tiny home site PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

nonprofit housing developer with hopes to build a tiny home village in Los Osos was hit with a stop work order last month after it cleared the potential site—a wetland, according to San Luis Obispo County—of trees and vegetation. Peoples’ Self-Help Housing cleared the vacant 1.3-acre parcel at the intersection of Los Olivos Avenue and Mountain View Drive in mid-June, after Cal Fire said the vegetation posed a fire hazard, according to the nonprofit’s CEO Ken Trigueiro. “Cal Fire contacted us in February and said the site is not in compliance with the fuel fire hazard abatement ordinance,” Trigueiro said. “Over time, we came up with a plan and hired a landscape contractor. There were some dead trees and things falling over, and they chipped that all up.” But on June 24, a San Luis Obispo County code enforcement officer posted a stop work order at the property—noting a violation of “unauthorized work in [a] designated wetland/ coastal zone.” Despite being surrounded by roads and homes, the parcel is considered part of a wetland, according to SLO County Code Enforcement Supervisor Jill Coomer, and the amount of work done exceeded what’s allowed without a permit. Coomer said that leftover tree debris also posed a drainage issue. Trigueiro said that his contractor had completely finished the work prior to the county’s notice, and he is now in discussions with officials about what the problems and solutions are. “They’ve been really helpful to try to figure out what this is about,” he said. Peoples’ Self-Help Housing has bigger plans for the parcel: Last month, it applied to the county for a state homelessness grant to build up to 24 tiny homes for the locally unhoused. The idea emerged out of recent discussions at the Los Osos Community Advisory Council, specifically a subcommittee focused on homelessness. “That’s exactly what we’ve been trying to figure out,” Trigueiro said. “We’ve been talking with numerous county staff over a ton of

Templeton will collect delinquent utility charges through the county To ensure the Templeton Community Services District receives past due payments for water and sewer services from 18 utility accounts, it’s handing over collecting responsibilities to SLO County. The delinquent water and sewer charges have decreased since the district’s staff report was published on June 28; the amount was approximately $14,501, and as of July 6 it’s $11,107. During the district’s July 6 meeting, General Manager Jeff Briltz said that under

different departments.” A tiny home village project would run into several hurdles beyond the recently raised wetland issue, which Trigueiro said he plans to hire an environmental consultant to study further. All new development in Los Osos is on pause until the California Coastal Commission approves SLO County’s new Los Osos Community Plan. Then, development is complicated by a restrictive growth ordinance based on water availability—though a tiny home project could be exempted as affordable housing. “We’re in the feasibility stage of what could we do on that site,” Trigueiro said. Historically, the lot in question served as

a septic leach field for an adjacent apartment complex, which is also owned by Peoples’ SelfHelp Housing. Trigueiro said that putting a tiny home project next to apartments it already owns makes a lot of sense. Caroline Hall, who’s on the board of Los Osos Cares and served on the community subcommittee on homelessness, said the tiny home proposal gets around the biggest challenge of finding available land to provide shelter and services to the unhoused. She said the county is likely to come back with grantee recommendations later this summer. “We feel as though there is a lot of potential,” Hall said. Δ —Peter Johnson

normal circumstances the district would have shut water services off after two months of nonpayment. Briltz said this collection mechanism has been effective in encouraging payment of these utility bills, however, the district couldn’t shut off services because of an executive order by Gov. Gavin Newsom in light of the pandemic. In April 2020, the Newsom administration issued an executive order declaring a moratorium on service disconnections that isn’t expected to be lifted until Sept. 30. Now the charges will be collected through the county tax roll and the delinquent payments will be invoiced as part of the property owner’s property tax bill. Briltz said special districts

across SLO County are going down this route to ensure they receive past due payments from property owners. The 18 accounts were delinquent as of March 20, 2021, and would typically have been shut off as of May 2021. Natalie Klock, the district’s finance officer, said property owners were notified by mail on June 14 and district staff continues to make contact with account holders to set up payment arrangements if they choose. Board director Pamela Jardini questioned the district’s procedure, referring to a section in the executive order that states districts can go to the California State Water Resources Control NEWS continued page 6

Board to learn of their guidelines for nonpayment and implement them. “I understand that other community services districts are implementing this [county tax collection method], however, I think my dad and mom said to me ‘If everybody jumps off a cliff, are you too?’ I just want to prevent a class action lawsuit,” Jardini said. Briltz clarified that this is one method of collecting delinquent payments that guarantees the district gets what it’s owed. In March and April of 2020, he said, the district was concerned about whether customers would fall behind with their payments and how that could jeopardize services. “We were not significantly impacted by the amount of money we’re talking about here: $11,000 does not put the district in financial distress. But the water code does require that the property owner be responsible for payment of those findings and so this was another mechanism, not the only way, to ensure payment,” Briltz said. If the district did not go this route, he said, there remains a chance that some delinquent accounts could “fall through the cracks and ultimately the district may not get paid.” The board unanimously approved putting the delinquent payments on the county tax roll. —Karen Garcia

Supervisors to consider condition prohibiting vacation rentals at development in Avila Beach A developer wants to be allowed to apply to use a new housing project in Avila Beach as vacation rentals, but community members and county staff say existing vacation rentals in Avila are already so abundant that they’re becoming detrimental to residential neighborhoods in the area. At a meeting on July 13, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors is slated to consider developer Erik Vasquez’s request to repeal a condition of his Avila Beach housing project that prohibits vacation rentals in almost all units on the site. The condition, which was approved by the SLO County Planning Commission along with the rest of the project in August 2016, states that only one of eight residential units proposed for the site may be permitted as a vacation rental. “Should the county desire to disallow short-term rentals in their entirety, I believe it should be done at a policy level and not ad hoc on a project basis as was done on my property,” Vasquez, who represents applicant HDFT Investments, wrote in an appeal letter to the county in October 2020. The project in question has already been under construction for years now and involved the demolition of three existing residences to make way for seven residential townhomes and one studio encompassed in four buildings. Located at 217 1st St., the development is located near downtown Avila Beach and just a few blocks away from the beach, in a neighborhood that community members say is completely inundated with vacation rentals. After several Avila Beach residents brought up concerns about the project’s potential to be used

for tourists and visitors, commissioners added a condition limiting vacation rental usage to the one studio unit on site. In October 2020, HDFT Investments and Vasquez applied to have that condition amended. The Planning Commission denied that request, and Vasquez appealed the decision to the Board of Supervisors just days later. “For a point of information, given the number of short-term rentals in proximity to my property currently, I would not be granted a permit,” Vasquez wrote in his appeal letter, “however one does not know what the future holds and I wish to be treated no differently than the surrounding properties.” But County Planner Young Choi said at the Planning Commission’s hearing in October 2020 that vacation rental permits would likely never be granted to owners of the townhomes at 217 1st St. A county ordinance that regulates vacation rentals in Avila Beach limits the number of such establishments in certain areas, and Choi said there are already more vacation rentals in the 1st and San Antonia streets area than the ordinance allows. Although Choi said those limits can be waived for applicants in special circumstances, he didn’t find anything that would justify an exception in this case. “Allowing a vacation rental on the project site and other similar properties in the area would cumulatively change the character of the neighborhood from a primarily residential area to a visitorserving area,” a county staff report on the project reads. “Therefore, the creation of more vacation rentals in this area of Avila Beach would degrade the quality and character of the residential neighborhood, effectively making it cumulatively more commercial (visitor-serving) in character, and thus degrade the quality of life enjoyed by neighboring residents who make the neighborhood their home.” For many of the same reasons, county staff are recommending that supervisors deny the Vasquez’s appeal on July 13. —Kasey Bubnash

Housing Authority gets 156 new housing vouchers for vulnerable residents

San Luis Obispo County recently received 156 new emergency housing vouchers as part of the American Rescue Plan—subsidies similar to Section 8 that are designed to rapidly house residents experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. The local vouchers all went to the Housing Authority of SLO (HASLO), which will work with clients referred by local service agencies like CAPSLO, 5Cities Homeless Coalition, Salvation Army, and others to find permanent housing. HASLO is calling the new program, “Welcome Home.” “It’s a great program. We’re trying to get it out fast,” said Scott Smith, executive director at HASLO. “[156 vouchers] is probably double what we thought we might get.” The vouchers function almost identically to Section 8—but provide even higher rent payments and offer other incentives for landlords. Tenants are asked to pay 30 percent of their income to rent, while the subsidy covers the rest. Like Section 8, the vouchers last as long

6 • New Times • July 8 - July 15, 2021 • www.newtimesslo.com

as they’re needed. The federal program created by the Rescue Plan expires in nine years, but the funding is expected to continue, HASLO said. HASLO launched Welcome Home this month, and it’s been assisting clients of all varieties—young, old, families, couples, and single people. Senior citizens are in particular need of affordable housing. “The highest growing vulnerable population right now in our county are seniors, who are getting priced out of the market,” said Elaine Archer, HASLO’s housing management director. “Their income is fixed and housing prices are increasing.” HASLO is striving to grow its network of about 600 landlords who participate in Section 8 with the arrival of Welcome Home. The new voucher pays about 10 percent more in rent than Section 8 does in the case of a one-bedroom apartment. It also provides funding for landlord signing bonuses and damage guarantees. “I think a lot of landlords are uncertain about what it means to be a Section 8 landlord,” Archer said. “HASLO is a great agency to work with. We’re really responsive.” “Landlords are our friends and our customers, and we need them to make everything we do successful,” Smith added. Housing vouchers are in extremely high demand in SLO County. HASLO administers between 2,400 and 2,500 Section 8 vouchers, and there is a long waiting list for them. HASLO hopes that the Welcome Home vouchers will be just as well utilized. “If we can use these, and get a high utilization, there’s a great chance we’ll get more,” Smith said. —Peter Johnson

SLO County has its fifth law enforcementinvolved shooting in 18 months

The San Luis Obispo Regional SWAT team responded to a call about an armed man that ended in the death of the suspect—the fifth officer-involved shooting in the county since January 2020. The suspect, 32-years-old Los Angeles resident Steven Adam Calderon, had barricaded himself in a Paso Robles apartment off of Branch Creek Circle and fired at officers. According to a Paso Robles Police Department press release, officers responded to the scene on July 5 at 4 p.m. after a man “discharged a firearm from the balcony of an apartment.” The suspect also allegedly pointed the same gun at his girlfriend and threatened to shoot her, according to the release. During a press conference, Paso Robles Police Chief Ty Lewis said that when the department’s patrol units initially responded to the scene, officers tried to establish contact with Calderon, however the attempts were unsuccessful. “It appeared that he would come in and out of the residence and yell various things at the officers. Ultimately, [the officers] observed the gun that was observed by witnesses and this turned into a high risk encounter for the police and the community,” Lewis said. Lewis then called in the SWAT team to assist. “Unfortunately communications throughout the night didn’t prove fruitful. We used a crisis negotiations team to try

and establish contact with Mr. Calderon, which he refused,” he said. The officers tried different tactics throughout the night to no avail. Calderon would emerge from the apartment periodically and fire several shots at law enforcement officers—no officers were injured. The following morning, July 6, the SWAT team deployed tear gas and different chemical agents in the apartment. At 1:15 a.m., Calderon emerged from the apartment and eventually set the gun down on a nearby porch, engaging in dialogue with the SWAT team. At one point he lunged for the gun, Lewis said, and was fatally shot by the SWAT team. “For us, the message to the community is that none of the people at the apartments were injured, none of our officers were injured. Thank God, especially in the wake of the tragedy that occurred recently in San Luis Obispo, and so the community is safe. Unfortunately, we also have Mr. Calderon that is deceased, and it’s not lost upon us that a mother and father lost a child,” Lewis said. “We did everything we could to get Mr. Calderon to surrender peacefully, but that didn’t happen.” Following the incident, two Paso Robles police officers and one San Luis Obispo police officer are on administrative leave as the agencies continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Lewis said the SLO County Sheriff’s Office is supporting the SLO County District Attorney’s Office in its investigation and review of the incident while the SLO and Paso Robles police departments conduct an internal review of the shooting to ensure that state and internal protocols were followed. SLO County has experienced five officer-involved shooting incidents in the last 18 months, including the recent incident that Lewis referred to at his press conference. On May 10, SLO police officers served a search warrant at Eddie Giron’s apartment as part of an investigation into a series of commercial burglaries. Giron opened fire, killing SLO Police Det. Luca Benedetti, 37, and injuring Det. Steve Orozco before turning the gun on himself. In a January 2020 shootout in downtown Paso Robles and the Paso Robles Riverbed between officers and Mason Lira, 26, multiple officers were injured and Lira was killed. In September 2020, an outstanding warrant on white supremacist 38-year-old Christopher Straub led to him ambushing two deputies in Templeton—one officer was injured and Straub was killed in the crossfire. In August 2020, 42-year-old Bakersfield resident Scott Huffman fired about 20 rounds outside of the Nipomo Vons shopping center and was killed in crossfire with law enforcement. —Karen Garcia

Grover Beach launches districting effort

Grover Beach recently launched its transition to district-based City Council elections, one of several jurisdictions throughout San Luis Obispo County and the Central Coast using 2020 census data to draw new voter boundaries that will be used in the November 2022 elections. At a meeting on June 28, Grover NEWS continued page 7

Beach City Council held its first of four public hearings regarding the districting process, where demographics consultants with the National Demographics Corporation outlined how the mapping process will work. City Council plans to get deeper into specific boundary considerations at the next hearing on July 26, and Mayor Jeff Lee said he hopes to get more input from the public then. “I know from a community standpoint, electing our City Council members and our public officials is one of the main items that voters can do in Grover Beach,” Lee said at the meeting. “And in order to do that effectively we definitely need your voice and your input in order to define where those districts are going to be, which will then kind of lead our city into the next direction of council members.” Grover Beach City Council adopted a resolution declaring its intent to transition from at-large to district-based elections in July 2019, a process that will involve separating the city into a few geographic regions where residents from each section will be able to elect one City Council member residing in their district. Under the current election system, all voters registered within city limits cast votes in the races for every council seat. The decision came after the city received a notice from attorney Jeffrey Mayes on behalf of Grover Beach resident Felipe Rueff, alleging that the city’s atlarge election system could violate the California Voting Rights Act, a state

law prohibiting at-large election systems that make it difficult for underserved demographics to elect candidates of their choice. While the Voting Rights Act is intended to increase representation of minority groups on councils across the state, some say the law goes too far and makes it nearly impossible for cities to fight the incoming lawsuits. Since the Voting Rights Act was enacted, scores of California jurisdictions—including Paso Robles, Arroyo Grande, the Oceano Community Services District, and the Lucia Mar Unified School District—have transitioned to the district-based election system or are in the process of doing so. Most only moved to transition in the face of legal threats from community members. At the June 28 hearing, consultants and city staff encouraged council members to think about what factors should be considered while drafting district maps. “Over the next month, … if the council members can be thinking about areas of the city that really should fit together, whether they’re north, south, east, west, school boundaries, just be thinking intrinsically about what makes sense to fit together,” City Manager Matt Bronson said, “then we can approach the July hearing with that in mind and walk out of that hearing with a list of different defined areas, and we can then begin to put the maps together from staff’s end.” ∆ —Kasey Bubnash

Revitalization ideas Oceano community members are planning for a future free of off-roading—and hopefully free of gentrification

llene Villa is a lifelong resident of Oceano, but her interest in the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA) and its role in what she calls “environmental injustices” for the people of Oceano is a recent preoccupation. Villa was 2 years old when her mom, then a recent Mexican immigrant, moved the family from Grover Beach to Oceano, one of the few places in San Luis Obispo County with affordable housing stock. That was more than 50 years ago, and Villa has been in Oceano pretty much ever since. While cars always drove out on the beach and buggies were in the dunes, Villa said it was rare in the ’80s to see “monstrous” lifted trucks and RVs towing trailers. As the years passed and the vehicles got bigger, Villa said the crowds got bigger, too. People got rowdier, and serious accidents became more common. Villa stopped taking her mom, who has poor eyesight, to the beach out of fear that she might accidentally step into traffic and get hit by a car. Her family members stopped bringing their kids for the same reason. “So we really don’t have access to our local beach, and the more I thought of it, the more I was like, ‘Well this isn’t right,’” she said. “We should have access to our own beach and we should feel safe at our beach.” It wasn’t until 2018, when now Arroyo Grande City Councilmember Jimmy Paulding ran—ultimately unsuccessfully— to serve as 4th District SLO County supervisor, that Villa really started to see off-roading as an environmental justice issue. Villa, who now serves as chair of the Oceano Advisory Council, argues that most of the revenue generated by the SRVA money goes to State Parks, the county, and just a few off-roading businesses in Oceano. “And what do we get?” Villa asked. “We get air pollution, we get noise pollution, we get trash pollution, we get accidents. That’s all we get.”

Affordable future

After the California Coastal Commission’s March 18 vote to eliminate

off-roading in the SVRA, people are planning for an Oceano without offroading. While Villa said she’s excited for all the new possibilities, economic booms can have repercussions for underprivileged residents. Villa and other Oceano Advisory Council members hope to ensure that Oceano’s character remains intact and that current residents, many who are low-income and Latino, aren’t priced out of the town. “The gentrification issue and maintaining affordable housing stock has been paramount in our community and certainly in the Oceano Advisory Council,” said Charles Varni, Oceano Advisory Council vice chair and a founding member of the Oceano Economic Development Council, a new group aiming to encourage equitable economic growth in Oceano. Varni thinks the off-roading ban will enable Oceano to become a clean, vibrant beach town like many of its neighbors. But Varni admitted that these looming changes could have unintentional consequences. He pointed to Avila Beach. Before the Unocal oil spill cleanup efforts in the early 2000s, which involved tearing down and rebuilding much of the town, Avila Beach was home to mostly working class people and funky shops and restaurants. “It had a lot of charm,” Varni said. “It had a lot of cheap housing, and it just got—it basically got wiped off the map.” Now, according to the county’s draft Avila Community Plan, Avila Beach is one of the most expensive towns and busiest tourist destinations in SLO County. In 2019, 12 homes were sold in Avila at a median price of around $1,459,000, more than double SLO County’s overall median selling price of $708,954. People also frequently use Pismo Beach as an example of a place that exploded economically after banning vehicles on much of the beach in the 1930s. But Effie McDermott, a local Pismo Beach historian, said it was really Pismo’s first local coastal plan and zoning changes that encouraged the development of the many pricey hotels, condos, and restaurants that now call Pismo Beach home.

That’s not what Varni wants for Oceano. U.S. Census Bureau data shows that roughly 45 percent of Oceano’s population is Latino or Hispanic, and the area’s median household income was estimated to be $67,742 in 2019. Roughly 12 percent of Oceano residents live in poverty, according to the data. While Avila’s median gross rent sat at around $1,774 a month between 2015 and 2019, Oceano’s was only $1,250. Members of the advisory and economic development councils are cooking up ways to improve the community without making it totally unaffordable. The Advisory Council’s biggest push is to develop an ordinance regulating vacation rentals in Oceano. Varni said while vacation rentals do come with benefits, they also use up needed housing stock and are often operated by out-of-town people or companies. With more than 90 vacation rental permits approved in Oceano as of 2018, according to a June 2019 report published by a Cal Poly student, Varni said it’s time for Oceano residents to set some limits. The Oceano Advisory Council also wants to see the Oceano County Airport repurposed and developed. Varni said SLO County’s ownership of the airport makes it the town’s largest landholder. That land could be used for much-needed affordable housing, a community events center, and retail buildings to benefit the whole community. Instead, he said, it’s being used as a landing pad for a few private pilots. Varni also supports an ordinance that would require all new developments to build curbs, gutters, and sidewalks (much of Oceano still floods during rainstorms, and the county usually cites budget limitations for the area’s lacking drainage), some rent control enforcement efforts, and laws that make it easier for people to build accessory dwelling units.

New focus

Adam Verdin, co-owner of Old Juan’s Cantina, said he’s not sure those are the issues the people of Oceano really want to tackle. Verdin isn’t an Oceano resident himself, but he employs a number of Oceano locals, grew up in Oceano, and has lived in the Five Cities area for most of his life. Verdin said he doesn’t like to get involved in politics, but he recently joined the Oceano Vitality Advisory Council in an attempt to advocate for Oceano’s Latino and business

community in discussions regarding the area’s future. Although the Vitality Advisory Council, which the SLO County Board of Supervisors officially recognized in June, is largely made up of ardent off-roading supporters and has been criticized as a divisive effort to defund the original Oceano Advisory Council, Verdin said that isn’t the case at all. He couldn’t be more excited to move on from the debate over vehicle access in the dunes, a saga that he said has long stolen focus away from Oceano’s many other needs. “It’s over, it’s done, it’s a legal fight, and it is what it is,” Verdin said. “But I thought, ‘You know, there are other issues that do need attention.’” The Vitality Advisory Council has two major goals: to get broad community engagement in its meetings and planning efforts, and to implement the remaining projects outlined in the 2013 Oceano Revitalization Plan. When Verdin first started following the debate over the dunes, he heard a lot of people talk about what the Latino community wants and needs, but he didn’t see many Latinos participating in the conversation. So Verdin is making outreach his mission. He wants the Vitality Advisory Council’s documents and website to be available in both Spanish and English. He wants the meetings to be accessible to everyone, including those who work odd hours. He wants to ensure that people feel comfortable expressing their opinions. “In my brain, I say, ‘How would I get my grandmother to come to a public meeting?’” he said, adding that his grandparents were both Mexican immigrants who spoke mostly Spanish. “I think it’s a door-to-door task. I think we actually have to walk door to door.” While Verdin said the other group’s ideas sound perfectly nice, he can’t support any of them until he hears from all of the community. Plus, he said he’d rather focus on realistic projects. The updates outlined in the revitalization plan are already mapped out with some support from the county. The only thing Oceano residents would have to do is build consensus over some of the projects and help find funding sources. “And it has nothing to do with dust, or dunes, or snowy plovers,” he said. ∆

Some Atascadero parents are asking the city to address an increase in violent incidents near Atascadero Middle School

June 10 fight in Atascadero’s Centennial Plaza that ended with a stabbing and an arrest for attempted murder was the last straw for a group of local parents. The parents, many with kids who attend Atascadero Middle School across the street, penned a letter to the City Council asking what the plan was to ensure that incidents like that one don’t happen in the future. Signed by more than 30 parents, the letter submitted as public comment for the June 22 council meeting referred to an increase of incidents near Centennial Bridge and Plaza, Sunken Gardens, and the surrounding area. Parents said they had concerns about drug use and homelessness downtown that put their children, the community, and surrounding businesses in danger. “The recent escalation of incidents includes stabbings, assault, drug use, an incident involving a man in the creek with a gun during school hours, and an arrest of a man for lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14,” the letter states. “This is the same area the middle school kids congregate with friends, get dropped off by parents for school, and even visit the local orthodontist office.” Stephanie Drexler, who emailed the letter into the city, told New Times that the area has always had issues with drugs and homeless people, but in the last couple of months the severity of the incidents has grown. “My children go to the orthodontist right next door. I’ve witnessed several of the issues down there myself,” Drexler said. “I’ve seen people walking around in their underwear. I’ve seen people smoking crack pipes. … My kids are seeing that. I tend to not drop them at the little benches anymore.” Atascadero City Councilmember Susan Funk said the area where the little benches are—near Centennial Plaza—is a key area of concern for the city. The area is attractive to unhoused people, she said, because it’s a shaded, nice area right next to the creek bed. “People sitting on the bench in the shade in a park, you know, is a reason we have parks and shades and benches. It’s not inherently different if that person is unhoused than if a person is there with their kids and their dogs,” Funk said. “All of those things are legitimate uses of that space, and you can’t just say some people get to be here and some people can’t, legally.” That being said, Funk said that criminal behavior isn’t OK, no matter who’s doing it. And those committing crimes should be arrested. While the suspect in the stabbing was arrested, the SLO County District Attorney’s Office declined to file charges in the matter. Drexler said she heard the suspect is back on the streets. “After a comprehensive review of the referral … it was determined that criminal charges were not justified on either party,” Assistant District Attorney Eric Dobroth said. “The event involved an argument that quickly escalated when one party

a gun occurred under the Lewis Street overpass near the middle school, which was locked down. The gun turned out to be a Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun “just like the movie.” “It ended with very little result, but we did end up arresting him,” Masterson said. “Juveniles were throwing rocks at the tent, and he came out brandishing a weapon.” The Atascadero Police Department is using Measure D-20 tax dollars to start a new outreach team that Masterson said will focus specifically on houseless residents. Although the CAT team is an asset, it takes care of and assists all residents with mental health issues, connecting them with SLO County mental health services. The Outreach to Underserved Residents (OUR) Team’s sole purpose would be to actively engage the homeless community daily, try to meet houseless people where they’re at, and connect them with services. It’s something that can’t happen soon enough, Masterson said, adding that the department is still trying to flesh out the details. “Law enforcement doesn’t always want to be the hammer,” Masterson said. “If you look statewide, everybody is looking at, OK, what can we do differently.” However, he said, there is a limit to what his department can do. As a matter of practice, law enforcement is a responsive agency: responsive to incident calls as well as changes that the state has voted for such as prison realignment and new thresholds for certain types of crimes designed to reduce the number of arrests and time spent in prison or jail. He ties an anecdotal increase in homelessness to some of those changes, but adds that law enforcement is stuck in the middle of two groups of people: Those who want the police department to do more to address issues such as homelessness and crimes associated with the population and those who don’t. “It’s an interesting cycle that we’re in. It’s not insurmountable, but law enforcement really needs to take a step back and really look at the way we did things in the past and the way that we need to start doing things in the future,” Masterson said. ∆

produced a knife and the other a baseball bat is reasonably viewed as mutual combat resulting in both being struck with the bat and one being stabbed.” Drexler acknowledges that the issue has many layers, and she doesn’t expect the city to clear out the area. There are mental health needs, housing needs, and other social service needs, Drexler said. But, she added, parents want to make sure their kids are safe when they drop them off for school. Parents, Drexler said, are just looking for a plan of how to ensure the safety of their children now and when school starts again in August. “It was definitely time to step up and step in,” she said. “Last year, the parents would just hang out down there and kind of be vigilantes.” The area is currently closed for some maintenance and renovation work the city plans to do in the area. The letter and a corresponding presentation on the issue from Atascadero Police Chief Bob Masterson at the June 22 meeting are just a starter for a longer discussion, Funk said. Ideally, Funk said, the discussion over what actions need to be taken in the future should occur in a setting where there can be a back and forth—which City Council meetings aren’t necessarily conducive to. Masterson said the police department had increased patrols in the area as well as Community Action Team (CAT) outreach, which focuses on incidents involving residents who might have mental health issues. In fact, the CAT team had engaged with the group in Centennial Plaza on June 10 about 20 minutes before the fight and stabbing occurred, he said. “It’s not every day in Atascadero where you have a fight in Centennial Gardens where somebody gets stabbed. That was kind of a first,” Masterson told New Times. “It’s actually quite an abnormality with the population that we’re dealing with.” While there is a criminal element to Reach Editor Camillia Lanham at some of the houseless, Masterson said clanham@newtimesslo.com. it’s mostly few and far FILE PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM between. The majority are just folks who need assistance. Police officers have been in contact with a core group of about 10 people who hang out in Centennial Plaza, Masterson said, and they don’t want assistance of any kind.

PHOTO COURTESY OF SLOROLL COMMUNITY INITIATIVE

On a roll

t all started with one spontaneous night last fall, when local roller skating enthusiast and instructor Shauna “Dottie Mae” Gustuson went to Santa Rosa Park in San Luis Obispo for a casual night skate with a friend. As she held a Bluetooth speaker playing some tunes, Gustuson noticed as she rolled around the rink that others in the park had started skating closer and closer to her. “More people started to show up. So we skated faster [to keep distance],” Gustuson said. “Then, somebody was like, ‘Hey, quit skating so fast. We need to hear the music.’” Gustuson was inspired by the experience, and it sparked an idea. Before their next skate, Gustuson reached out to local DJ Brotha C to ask if he wouldn’t mind playing music during it. Add in some colorful party lights—and more friends and community members who joined—and a new movement, the SLORoll Community Initiative, was born. “More and more people came, and that’s exactly how it developed,” Gustuson said. “The most unique thing about it is the way it’s grown in such an organic way. We were giving the people what they wanted and developing something that filled the need.” Fast-forward to today, and SLORoll is now a registered nonprofit. Gustuson and SLORoll’s leadership work with cities throughout SLO County to find space to host their monthly “community skates,”

with the next one scheduled for July 10 at Hero Park in Grover Beach. The skates are free and open to all ages and wheel types. Back when SLORoll was first getting started, Gustuson said she could sense the joy and relief that it brought to the people participating. The skates triggered a nostalgia and appreciation for disco roller rinks of the past, which had important cultural significance, especially in Black culture. Roller skating played an often-unheralded role in the Civil Rights movement, as activists staged sit-ins at segregated roller rinks throughout the country. Gustuson pointed out that SLORoll

came about last year during another tumultuous time, in the midst of the Black Lives Matters movement, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the spike in hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. The skates became a needed space for locals to escape, express, and belong. “The way the world was at the time ... the tenseness of the world, the weight of the world on people’s shoulders, they’d come out to skate and they were smiling,” Gustuson said. “People were sending me personal DMs [direct messages] saying, ‘Thank you so much for inviting us out. The kids finally had a chance to get out. It was outdoors. Thank you for doing this.’” Finding physical spaces to skate hasn’t been an easy task for SLORoll. Aside from the fact that SLO County does not have an indoor skating rink, there are also few “legal” options for outdoor skating locally. Darryl “Mr. Clutch” Jackson, the public relations chair for SLORoll, said that between SLO’s lack of skating rinks and the various local ordinances that regulate skating, the activity seems almost outlawed. Police have been called on past SLORoll skates, and the organization got an icy reception from some cities’ officials. “There’s this big stigma that got lumped in,” Jackson said. “It’s hard to not talk about. ... We really want to push a positive message, but there are some obstacles. We have learned a lot.” Jackson, who grew up going to roller rinks and now has his kids hooked on the sport, said SLORoll has made strides

over the past several months gaining the community’s support. He said Grover Beach, Arroyo Grande, and Atascadero have been particularly supportive. The organization’s ultimate goal, he said, is to help establish more roller rinks throughout SLO County—indoors and outdoors. “We’re just a little nonprofit trying to do something big,” Jackson said. For Gustuson, who is also a skate instructor with Central Coast Roller Derby, SLORoll is all about promoting, honoring, and celebrating authentic skate culture—and reaping in its benefits. “It’s networking, it’s therapy, it’s stuff for the kids to do,” she said. “When you go there, everyone knows each other. Everyone knows whose birthday it was. It’s a community thing. We’re trying to really bring that to our area and unify the community through that.”

Commentary

BY CURT DUBOST

Legitimate debate Comparing the Paso Robles school district to Mississippi in the 1960s is hyperbolic

o the Shredder and political cartoonist Russell Hodin: How incredibly sad and disappointing it is to see a legitimate debate about an obviously controversial issue slide immediately into hyperbole and name-calling. More extreme supporters of critical race theory (CRT) label anyone who disagrees with its inclusion in schools as racists. Opponents of CRT similarly label anyone who supports CRT as Socialist/Marxist as well as racist. The NAACP of SLO portrays the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District (PRJUSD) Board of Trustees as somehow attempting to lynch minorities under a likeness of a gallows. New Times follows up with a cartoon image of a noose hanging from the PRJUSD oak tree logo suggesting the district motto is “Protecting White Privilege” (Hodin, June 24) and an opinion piece wrongly conflating the debate on CRT with the recently-adopted ethnic studies curriculum (“Mighty white of you, Paso,” June 24). These exaggerated insults do nothing to further healthy debate and solely serve to inflame extreme perspectives. The board of trustees has openly and honestly engaged in a public debate of the ethnic studies curriculum. In that discussion, there was never any proposal to ignore or omit historical instances of racism. The only restriction was that historical

HODIN

atrocities be presented in historical context, not through a contemporary lens and that presentations and supplemental readings be balanced. At no point were any atrocities, be it the Tulsa massacres, Jim Crow laws, Japanese internment, lynching, or any of the evils of slavery to be ignored. What was and is of concern are extreme efforts to rewrite American history, out of context, and extreme conclusions such as those reached in San Francisco that schools named for Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Grant, and others be renamed so that no one who ever said or did anything now objectionable be honored, regardless of the balance of their historical legacy. Abraham Lincoln? Ulysses S. Grant? Seriously? Not pure enough? CRT is loosely defined in ways that can be spun as fairly innocuous or quite extreme. Experts disagree on what the implications for its instruction are, but the appropriate audience is clearly post-secondary. The board of trustees entertained debate of CRT as a controversial issue subject to Administrative Regulation 6144, a portion of which stipulates approval only if, “The discussion does not reflect adversely upon persons because of their race, sex, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, handicap, or occupation.” I have stood at the former cell of Nelson Mandela outside Cape Town and listened

to a former fellow political prisoner (now tour guide) describe Mandela’s 18 years there. I have toured the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC, and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in Jackson and walked past the pillars that list the actual lynchings that occurred each year. Words fail to capture the absurdly inconsequential reasons for the murders. I lived through and participated in the civil rights demonstrations of the 1960s. I remember when racism was overt and institutionalized, without question or debate. I remember Dr. King asking that we be judged by the content of our character not the color of our skin. To equate this debate in Paso Robles to, “Mississippi in the 1960s” is really quite absurd. Serious issues around race remain in our country; no one can credibly deny that fact, and the incredible hypocrisy of the promise of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution as juxtaposed to the unspeakable horror of slavery, the 3/5ths compromise, Jim Crow laws, and the like. To suggest nothing has changed though, and to equate even discussing contemporary issues with lynching is incredibly exaggerated and, at least in my mind, an insult to the memory of those who were violently attacked and murdered. I am proud of the compromise reached in the PRJUSD concerning the ethnic studies curriculum. In it, CRT may not be taught as accepted fact but may be discussed as a controversial issue as appropriate to the class and grade level. A balanced reading list including varied perspectives is required.

Some have argued teachers have adequate training and experience and need no board direction. Academic freedom has also been mentioned. To be clear, the PRJUSD Board of Trustees has not only the right but the responsibility to supervise what is taught in our schools. This is not college; “academic freedom” in high school is in no way comparable to the college level where students are adults and there voluntarily. Also, it is important to remember that parents have had the opportunity this year, with distance learning as their only option, to be much more involved in and observant of their student’s classroom instruction. With this added exposure— and in addition to an appreciation by many of how difficult teaching can be— have come many more questions about what is being taught and what teachers have posted in their rooms. There are limits on teachers’ actions while “on the clock” and specifically while in front of a captive audience of minor students. The district has provided guidance as to which classes and under what circumstances controversial issues should and should not be part of the curriculum. Some of what was observed has led parents to question legitimately the adherence of several teachers to the approved curriculum. These are all legitimate issues for the board of trustees to consider and as we continue to identify issues and address them openly, I hope and trust there will be more legitimate debate and less name-calling, hyperbole, and pandering to one’s base, whoever that may be. ∆ Dr. Curt Dubost is the superintendent of the Paso Robles Joint Union School District.

s I write, it is the Fourth of July and I am visiting my family home after many years away. Sitting on the roof with my children watching fireworks light up the sky I feel the pull within myself about the complexities of it all: a night sky full of color and my kids’ wonder-filled eyes, a country that many have served to strive toward independence, all overshadowed by the knowledge that we live on stolen land, built by slaves in an America where not all are free. The America so many fought to create has always claimed to hold the principles of a free and fair democracy. Celebrating America’s Independence Day this year carries a significant weight in a time when Republicans across the country are actively working to dismantle our voting rights through legislation that at its very core is anti-American. No amount of red, white and blue can mask the fact that we still inhabit a land stolen from native people who we continue to disenfranchise through environmental racism, oppression, and incarceration. No star-spangled banner and sparkler clad celebration can hide the deep threads of injustice faced by those who carry America on their backs every single day. No American flag T-shirt can dress up the daily assaults on our democracy, on our democratic process, and on our democratic principles.

We should be fighting for the future that we all deserve, because no one is free until everyone is free. The current stripping away of the voting rights of those who call America home is an assault on the fundamental freedoms and rights our country so adamantly claims to value. Oppressive policies, unabashed police brutality, legislation intended to strip groups of people of their basic human rights, attempts to ban critical race theory from our schools, rampant voter suppression efforts, and negligence on critical climate action—this anti-American dream is the new Republican flag. Today’s Republican Party exploits power at every level in an effort to maintain their idea of control. From partisan gerrymandering to exploiting the filibuster, they are taking every opportunity to quickly pass strategic voter suppression bills and election related policies meant to cause fear and weaken faith in our democratic system. If you attend any recent SLO County Board of Supervisors meeting, you will see the same calculated efforts here in our backyard. The integrity of our local elections is being deliberately disassembled piece by piece. Each move may seem inconsequential on its own and easy to gloss over, but together the recent changes and decisions hold the power to shape our elections and the future of our communities for decades to come.

These flailing attempts to stifle progress and dismantle our systems of democracy are a sign of the desperation of the right. As elections have become increasingly partisan and the Republican Party moves to the right, they are having a hard time winning over voters. Rather than winning elections in traditional methods by doing the work of swaying voters to candidates, Republicans are actively working to win elections by limiting voters and their access to the ballot. It’s simple, but in truth it’s hard to deny. Their constant fear-mongering and accusations of voter fraud reveal their long-disguised drive for voter suppression. By stomping on participation, creating unjust barriers to access and strategically disqualifying those on the edges, the right is displaying a gross and unabashed belief that in their privilege, they deserve more than others. These next few months and years are critical. While Democrats saw significant victories in 2020, history indicates Republicans would make gains in the coming elections. But recent voter participation combined with the visceral assault on our freedoms stands to motivate a different kind of outcome in 2022. This is enough to scare the Republican Party and unite their leaders at every level under one banner; stifling the soul of America by destroying Democracy as we know it. It is time to stop waiting for someone else to save democracy, and stop pretending it is too radical to end the filibuster, abolish the electoral college and adopt campaign finance reform. When you vote next in SLO County, the outcome won’t just be based on who showed up. It will be based on how the current county supervisor majority thwarted the process and manipulated the playing field before voting even began. We have critical questions to ask ourselves now. Are we “more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity”? (MLK) Or do we want democracy to live to see another day? It’s not hyperbole, it’s a wake up call. We should be fighting for the future that we all deserve, because no one is free until everyone is free. Only then can we wave a flag for an American way that welcomes everyone. ∆ Quinn Brady (she/her) is a community advocate, organizer and mother on the Central Coast.

Opinion

I stand corrected … not

fter shredding the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District (PRJUSD) over its Resolution 21-27 that aimed to ban teaching of critical race theory (CRT) in Paso schools (“Mighty white of you, Paso!” June 24), many undies were immediately bunched—none more bunched than Superintendent Dr. Curt Dubost, who penned this week’s commentary (p.13). “More extreme supporters of critical race theory label anyone who disagrees with its inclusion in schools as racists,” Dubost screamed. Except this is a straight-up straw man argument since no one—no one—is calling to teach CRT in K-12 schools. I, for one, am disagreeing with the idiocy of making a boogeyman out of CRT with resolutions like 21-27, which is going to the trouble of stopping something that no one’s trying to do. Making CRT scary and in need of banning is white protectionist claptrap. Dubost goes on to cry himself a river over all the wrongs done to the PRJUSD by the mean old NAACP of SLO, mean old political cartoonist Russell Hodin, and mean old opinion columnist me, wahwah-wah! Somebody call the wahmbulance because Dr. Curty has a boo-boo. “These exaggerated insults do nothing to further healthy debate and solely serve to inflame extreme perspectives,” Dubost wrote, completely oblivious to the PRJUSD’s culpability in inflaming extreme perspectives with the inanity of Resolution 21-27.

Then he goes on to explain that the district’s ethnic studies curriculum isn’t going to “ignore or omit historical instances of racism. The only restriction was that historical atrocities be presented in historical context, not through a contemporary lens, and that presentations and supplemental readings be balanced.” Let’s break those restrictions down. What does “historical context” mean? Does it mean teaching slavery through the historical context of, say, 1863 through 1965, when treating Black people as subhuman was sadly typical and worse legal? “Enslaving negroes wasn’t that evil because, in a historical context, they weren’t considered human beings like white people.” Is that the idea, Dr. Dubost? And what does it mean to not teach through “a contemporary lens?” Are teachers supposed to ignore how our culture has evolved? Do teachers, for instance, have to teach Japanese internment through the lens of the 1940s when it was perfectly fine to hoist a banner outside your business that read, “Japs keep moving. This is a white man’s neighborhood”? My point is that all we have is a contemporary lens through which to view history, and pretending that things like slavery, Native American genocide,

Dred Scott v. Sandford, Executive Order 9066 and Japanese Internment, Jim Crow laws, and other things white people did to people of color weren’t abhorrent because white people “thought differently” in the old days is beyond asinine. And what “supplemental readings” are you thinking of to keep history “balanced?” Are we talking about Jefferson Davis’ defense of slavery or William Luther Pierce’s The Turner Diaries about overthrowing the government and exterminating non-whites? Some things are not relative, sir. Slavery is simply indefensible. There’s no legitimate “supplemental readings” to balance that it’s not pure evil. Sigh. Dubost’s commentary is about as lucid and logical as the vaguely constructed Resolution 21-27! “What was and is of concern are extreme efforts to rewrite American history,” Dubost continued, going on to complain about how people don’t want to continue to honor old ‘heroes.’ Let me read between Dubost’s lines: “First they came for our Confederate Statues, and I did nothing because I was not a Confederate. Then they came for George Washington High School. Not cool, man!” Dubost complains about “extreme conclusions such as those reached in San Francisco that schools named for Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Grant, and others be renamed so that no one who ever said or did anything now objectionable be honored, regardless of the balance of their historical legacy.

The Shredder Abraham Lincoln? Ulysses S. Grant? Seriously? Not pure enough?” Oh my! Your slope is so slippery, Curt! Be careful not to fall and fracture your coccyx! Reassessing American history and deciding who to continue to honor or not isn’t CRT or revisionism; it’s simply coming to grips with the truth, evolving as a culture, and deciding what’s important to teach our children. Dubost mentions the Tulsa Massacre, which most schools failed to teach about for decades! Curriculum evolves! How about you, Curt? Just to prove his “woke” bona fides, Dubost goes on to trot out all the things that prove he isn’t racist: “I have stood at the former cell of Nelson Mandela.” “I have toured the National Museum of African American History and Culture.” “I remember when racism was overt and institutionalized.” You “remember?” Oh yeah. We’re a post-racial society now. Dubost presides over a school district that’s gone out of its way to appease conservative alarmists who fear their children are being indoctrinated in CRT and taught their white skin makes them inherently evil, which isn’t what’s happening at all. CRT isn’t being taught in K-12 and no one—I repeat no one—is calling for it to be. This is a boogeyman of Dubost’s own making. In fact, I bet if any Paso students are now asking about CRT, it’s because this ridiculous resolution brought it up and kids are curious. Sheesh! ∆ The Shredder volunteers to literally shred both Resolution 21-27 and Dubost’s commentary. Send your thanks to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Hot Tina is ready to rock you at Liquid Gravity

ll-female bands aren’t new. Back in the ’30s, jazz acts such as the Blue Belles and the Harlem Playgirls proved that women could successfully enter what had largely been a man’s profession. Rock was a little different, and the all-female bands of the ’60s—Goldie and the Gingerbreads, the Pleasure Seekers, Fanny—were sort of considered novelty acts. The ’70s saw acts like the Runaways, the Slits, and the Raincoats prove that women could rock just as hard as the dudes, ushering in space for acts like the Go-Go’s and the Bangles in the ’80s and harder acts like L7 and Bikini Kill in the ’90s. So, local all-female band Hot Tina is carrying on a long tradition, proving that penises are optional in the creation of ripping punk rock. “Some guys do find it novel that we’re an all female band,” bassist and vocalist Alexandra Wenzl admitted. “We’re at a point in our culture where having a woman in a band is not uncommon, but there’s often an assumption that the female member is an accessory or the sultry lead singer. We’re hoping that with each show we’re helping to change that tired old narrative. What’s truly novel about Hot Tina is not that we’re women playing music, but rather the novelty of a band that writes its own original music and gives every ounce of passion and energy when we play live, whether it’s to a bar with three people or a packed show of rock fans.” This Saturday, July 10, Hot Tina plays Liquid Gravity (3 to 6 p.m.; free) with opening acts Rock of Ages and DJ SLO Grrrl. How’d Hot Tina come together? “In 2013 Shea [Kelly, guitar and vocals] and Rose [Hall, guitar and vocals] were rocking at local bars and parties as half of the good-time rock ’n’ roll band the Dirty Pink Slips,” Wenzl explained. “I was playing guerrilla street shows in the two piece acoustic-punk performance ensemble Trash.” The three co-frontwomen of Hot Tina knew of each other, but it wasn’t until Twang N Bang Records owner Pat Hayes suggested Wenzl and Kelly collaborate on a cover of Wilco’s “California Stars” for a show he was promoting at Frog and Peach that the collaboration began. Recently, Tessa Cornejo of the local funk act CTRL Z joined the band. “Over the pandemic, while most of us were wallowing in self-pity, Tessa was practicing along to the Hot Tina demo she had recorded and emerged from quarantine as a badass drummer that knew all the HT hits,” Wenzl explained. The band has turned into a real sisterhood—four strong women who have

Third season of NBC’s Making It features Central Coast local Kara Walker

Central Coast-based artist and designer Kara Walker was chosen to compete on NBC’s current season of Making It, which premiered on June 24. Hosted by Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman, each season of Making It assembles a different group of crafters from around the country to compete with each other in various do-it-yourself crafting challenges. Described in press materials as “a small-town mom with big dreams,” Walker, 40, is a Santa Maria resident who enjoys making costumes and props for her two sons, as part of her love for crafting. She started her own art company at age 19 and has been self-employed ever since.

SLOIFF increases focus on Central Coast filmmakers and music videos as it starts accepting entries for 2022

eading into March 2021, SLO International Film Festival Director (SLOIFF) Skye McLennan didn’t know what to expect. It was her first year at the helm of the big event and California was still subject to COVID-19 restrictions. The local film festival did what every other event had done for the previous year: It went virtual—and McLennan said people loved it. “It really allowed for the rest of the county, outside of SLO, to enjoy the festival,” Submit! she said. The San Luis Obispo International So in 2022, the plan is Film Festival to put together a hybrid of starting accepting both virtual and in-person film submissions events. for 2022 on July For instance, Festival 6. Head over to slofilmfest.org to and Industry Relations get the details. Coordinator Grace Tucker and McLennan worked together to conduct and edit 67 Q&As with filmmakers over Zoom for the 2021 festival. They prerecorded them, edited the sessions down, and uploaded them so that everyone could feel as close to being in the theater as possible. “It was a much bigger feat than we were expecting,” McLennan said. But audiences enjoyed it. “A lot of everything that came out of COVID was very serendipitous in the way that we’re going to move forward,” Tucker said. “In a normal year, a lot of the filmmakers aren’t able to come to town, so it would be cool to try to sneak in a couple of those virtually.” For 17 “normal” years, Wendy Eidson spearheaded the festival. McLennan, who’s from Templeton, came on to SLOIFF a couple of years ago as the associate festival director under Eidson, to learn and eventually take over for Eidson. “It kind of fell into her lap in some ways,” McLennan said. McLennan studied film at San Francisco State and worked for various film festivals such as SunDance, Tribeca, and the Sydney Film Festival in Australia. She was back in SLO County working in the wine industry between festivals when she and Eidsen met. Eidsen asked McLellan if she wanted to join the SLOIFF staff, and McLellan, who attended her first SLOIFF when she was 18 years old, said yes. “I love the idea of sort of escaping into another world, another universe for a few hours, and learning about somebody else or somebody else’s culture,” she said. “Film is just an incredible medium for telling stories.” Film festivals, McLellan said, are about so much more than just watching films. They bring in directors and have Q&As, provide networking opportunities, and more.

IN-PERSON EXPERIENCE In 2019, SLOIFF attendees caught a 3D film at Downtown Centre Cinemas: The movie experience.

NETWORK In 2022, the SLO International Film Festival (SLOIFF) plans to introduce more networking opportunities for Central Coast filmmakers, such as Grace Tucker and Becca Tiemeir, who socialized at a film fest event in 2019.

“It’s a whole atmosphere,” she said. “Sometimes the directors are seeing their film with an audience for the first time.” Together, Eidsen and McLellan worked to ensure that eventually Eidsen could step back. Eidsen, who’s Canadian, built a house in Nova Scotia and moved back up there with the plan to work remotely. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed Eidsen to stay in Canada. “She sort of fell in love, and all the pieces kind of fit for her,” McLellan said, adding that Eidsen is looking forward to working on some solo projects. “She’s an incredibly creative person and hasn’t really had the time to really explore that, so she’s really excited for that.” In 2021, SLOIFF introduced a new music video competition, McLennan said. About 80 music videos were entered into the competition, which was judged by New Times Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey, American General Media Program Directer Suzanne Schonig, and SLOIFF board member David Hardberger. “We always receive music video submission, and they don’t always play right with a feature or a short narrative feature or documentaries, but they’re just an incredible medium. They’re just as much work as the other films, and there’s a lot of artistry in them,” McLellan said. “The connection between music and film, it’s just a really nice marriage.” Tucker said music videos are fun because

a lot of people may not be into watching something experimental, but are more open to it in a music video. In 2022, the plan is to show some of the music videos during a live concert. SLOIFF is scheduled for March 8 through 13, 2022, and the festival recently opened its film submissions. Its George Sidney Independent Film Competition categories include best full-length narrative film (45 minutes or longer), full-length documentary (45 minutes or longer), narrative short film (under 45 minutes), documentary short film (under 45), student film, music film, and animation. The festival also has The Filmmakers of Tomorrow competition for elementary, middle, and high school students as well as the Central Coast Filmmakers Showcase. McLellan said the 2022 festival will put a higher focus on Central Coast filmmakers and give them more opportunities to network with filmmakers from around the world. “Ultimately, we want the festival to really be a place where people can network, people can meet each other, and from that make more films, and maybe even consider shooting in the area,” McLellan said. ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham is looking for her next TikTok video location.

Black is beautiful

uestlove directs this new documentary about the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, an event overshadowed by Woodstock and in part ignored because it celebrated African American music and culture, promoting Black pride and unity. It features appearances by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Chris Rock, Stevie Wonder, and many more, as well as archival footage of Nina Simone, B.B. King, Sly and the Family Stone, and others. (117-min.) Glen If you think Summer of Soul is just another concert film, you’re very much mistaken. This is a history lesson, an economics lesson, and a sociological lesson that just happens to have amazing, never before seen live performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly and the Family Stone, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, The 5th Dimension, Pop Staples and the Staples Singers, and more. Filmed in 1969 over six hot summer weekends in Mount Morris Park (now Marcus Garvey Park), the videotapes were shelved and forgotten, just like this festival. Questlove finds some of the people who attended the event, and we watch as they’re shown footage and prompted to recall how they felt. He also interviews some of the performers who are still alive, and again, we watch them as they watch the footage, reliving a very defining moment in Black history. We learn from former New York Times reporter Charlayne HunterGault that 1969 was the year the Black community went from being called “negroes” in the press to “Blacks.” We learn about the crossover between the Black and Hispanic communities of New York facilitated by music. There are so many moving moments, and the original 1969 cameramen who captured the concert series had the good sense to turn the cameras on the crowd, capturing the mood, the fashion, and the energy of this seminal moment in history. It’s like opening a time capsule. Anna What an experience this festival must have been! I’m sure everyone who attended still pinches themselves when they think about how lucky they were to catch these acts on stage and the solidarity that this festival brought to the Harlem community. The film delves into some of the intricacies of the music and musicians as well, from the differences in how Babatunde Olatunji, Mongo Santamaria, and Ray Barretto hit their drums to the

It’s lively and inspiring. Watching bring me to tears. It was also interesting to the audience, you can tell that this was hear people talk about Stevie Wonder and a hugely spiritual experience, one that his performance. At the time, there were got swept away when studios at the time questions about whether he would stick refused to think people would want to with his hits from the ’60s and continue watch and experience Black music. I’m sure in that successful yet tired vein or branch this festival was on the radar for a lot of out into something bigger, bolder, and more diehard music aficionados, but I had never experimental.

When time travelers arrive from 2051, they recruit soldiers and civilians in the present to travel 30 years into the future to help fight the war before it’s too late. Most of the draftees never return. High school teacher Dan Forester (Chris Pratt) is called to duty, reluctant to go but determined to assure there’s a future world for his daughter Muri (Ryan Kiera Armstrong). Once there, he teams up with the leader of the future army, a brilliant scientist (Yvonne Strahovski) working to destroy the enemy. It’s action-packed, well filmed, and considering it deals in time travel, only mostly ridiculous. Between Forester and his daughter Muri, and Forester and his estranged father James (J.K.

FIGHT OF THEIR LIVES Chris Pratt (second from left) stars as Dan Forester, a high school biology teacher drafted to fight a war 30 years in the future against alien creatures, in The Tomorrow War, screening on Amazon Prime. to inject some emotional heft, but the star of the show is Pratt, who’s delivering his quippy one-liners with dry humor. It’s not great, but it’s free with your Amazon Prime subscription. (140 min.) —Glen

teven Soderbergh (Erin Brockovich, Ocean’s Eleven, Magic Mike) directs this crime drama that’s got an amazing cast, a twisty-turny double- and triple-cross tale, and a decided film noir feel. At the heart of the story is career criminal Curt Goynes (Don Cheadle), who gets teamed up with a crew of unfamiliar lowlifes to pull off a mysterious job of stealing a document somehow related to the automotive industry. When the job goes sideways, Goynes and Ronald Russo (Benicio Del Toro) try to chase the money up the food chain, discovering along the way who hired them and why they’re expendable. Jon Hamm shows up as dirty fed Joe Finney, Ray Liotta is mid-level gangster Frank Capelli, and Brendan Fraser is Jones, another gangster with an anger problem. Best of all, there’s an essential cameo by Matt Damon, which sets up the film’s whole point about American corruption and greed.

TRUST ISSUES Career criminals Ronald Russo (Benicio Del Toro, left) and Curt Goynes (Don Cheadle) are teamed to pull off a heist in No Sudden Move. Between the sets, the clothes, and the cars, it’s a slick and engrossing period thriller, and the story will keep you guessing till the end. It may not be Soderbergh’s best crime caper, which I’d say goes to Out of Sight (1998), but this is a gripping story with an unbeatable cast. (115 min.) ∆ —Glen

Picnics in paradise SLO entrepreneur elevates al fresco dining

ho wouldn’t love creating a luxurious picnic experience for a family member or friend? Sound intimidating? What if someone else swooped in beforehand to provide the elaborate spread, then cleaned up afterward? New startup Cayucos Picnic Co., launched in April, does just that. Proprietor Hayley McGuigan pulls up to a predetermined location in her converted mail truck and works her magic. Base packages include rugs, chairs, a low picnic table, seating cushions and pillows, throw blankets, place settings, LED candles, dried flowers, themed decorations, sparkling and still water, and sparkling lemonade. Wind permitting, guests are shaded by a canopy and umbrella. Prices start at $200 for two guests. “We offer our luxury base picnic in our classic neutral palette, blush, pink, or aqua,” McGuigan said. “It’s super multi-dimensional and year-round, whether for a birthday, holiday, or whatever you want to celebrate.” McGuigan returns after an hour and a half to pack up, though more time can be pre-purchased. All items are cleaned and sanitized. “As a Cayucos local, I really appreciate the option of scheduling an easy but impressive ‘date night’ or ‘let’s celebrate’ package, and the tourists really seem to love having a new, fun activity to enjoy when they visit,” said Andy Bowlin, a photographer whose services can be hired at an additional cost. “Let’s face it, everyone enjoys a picnic, but no one wants to drag all the gear to the beach. Hayley makes all that happen and can add food, flowers, dessert, and even myself as a photographer. It really is a complete experience that allows people to just relax and appreciate the local beauty without the work.” Cambria resident Juli Amodei hired McGuigan’s services recently and was thrilled with the results.

The perfect locale

There are several local picnic planners to choose from. Visit their respective websites to learn more. Caucus Picnic Co.: cayucospicnicco.com. Wildernest: wildernestpicnics.com. Pretty Little Picnics: prettylittlepicnicsca.com. A Little Picnic: alittlepicnic.com.

Cayucos Picnic Co. was “the perfect surprise” for her husband David Glennon’s birthday. “We arranged to have the picnic in the same location we were married on Moonstone Beach,” she said. “It was gorgeous! We enjoyed good wine, the ocean waves, and incredible carrot cake provided by Hayley. There was attention to every detail, including the two lounge chairs we got to relax in. “This experience was so fun and truly one of a kind,” she continued. “It was crafted with much love, and I am confident a birthday my husband will talk about for many years to come.” McGuigan’s vehicle doubles as a mobile billboard and storage facility. Purchased from an Atascadero resident off of Craigslist, the 1979 Chevy Grumman “shortie” stocks picnic supplies for up to 12 guests, with larger groups possible. Ideal sites include beaches and parks in Morro Bay, Cayucos and Cambria. The company selects an exact location based on time of day, tides, crowds, and weather conditions, and then sends clients a location pin the day of the picnic. Additionally, McGuigan can “bring the picnic to your yard, deck, or even your living room,” according to her website. “Just let us know what you’re looking for, and we will do our best to make it happen.” When not working her picnic magic, McGuigan is the guest experience manager for Rod and Hammer’s SLO Stills, a whiskey distillery adjacent to SLO Brew Rock in San Luis Obispo. Her extensive background in catering, food service, and hospitality also includes stints at Cambria Pines Lodge and San Luis Obispo’s Madonna Inn. In addition to expanding her enterprise to include larger events and PHOTO BY CHERISH WHYTE clients, including hotels and wineries, McGuigan hopes to make a difference on a personal level. She enjoys work “that impacts others and creates experiences for them,” she said. McGuigan was born and raised in Anaheim, but has called the Central Coast home for the past 12 years, with a decade spent in Cayucos. She recently moved to San Luis Obispo to be closer to work at SLO Stills. All her free time is wrapped up in her picnic venture.

A basket of picnic companies

Other picnic planners have popped up locally over the past few years, including Wildernest Picnic Co., Pretty Little Picnics, and A Little Picnic. Co-owned by Denise Schmitt and her daughter Avery Riis, Wildernest will host “a personalized luxury picnic for you and up to five of your favorite people,” Riis said. The Los Osos residents, who started the business in October 2020, offer a variety of themes and add-ons, with prices from $200. With guests’ input, Wildernest “will scout out an ideal location and arrange your styled gathering,” Riis explained. “From there, we will do all the legwork. From delivery to setup and cleanup—all you have to do is show up in your best picnicker outfit.” The base price covers an hour and a half. Picnic locales range from Cayucos to Avila Beach, or about 15 miles from Los Osos. Additional time and travel increases the cost. Morgan Johancen launched her picnic business, Pretty Little Picnics, in February of this year, while still a fulltime student at Cal Poly. “I just graduated from Cal Poly [in June], majoring in experience industry management with a concentration in hospitality and tourism,” Johancen said. “I look forward to pursuing picnics full time now and creating memorable experiences for locals and tourists around the Central Coast.” Pretty Little Picnics packages start at $150 for two hours with a six-person maximum and travel limited to 10 miles from San Luis Obispo. Floral arrangements are included. Patrons can also bring their dog if they purchase a $20 puppy package containing a water bowl, dog bed, toy, and bone.

INTO THE FOREST Wildernest Picnic Co. sets up its glamping-themed “Babes in the Woods” picnic spread in March at a private property in Templeton. The owners wanted to commemorate the future site of their home.

A Little Picnic owner Cassidy Tomasini—another recent Cal Poly graduate with a degree in tourism, hospitality, and destination management—keeps things intimate with a four-guest cap, according to her website. Her San Luis Obispo-based business, also launched in February, offers twohour packages starting at $120 for two people. Flowers and sparkling cider are provided, with add-ons ranging from painting supplies to a cake with balloons. Guests can picnic at Avila Beach, Morro Rock Beach, Montaña de Oro, Shell Beach, or their own private property. ∆ Flavor writer Cherish Whyte would love a surprise birthday picnic. Hint, hint.

COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & BUILDING NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING WHO: County of San Luis Obispo Planning Commission WHEN: Thursday, July 22, 2021 at 09:00 AM. All items are advertised for 09:00 AM. To verify agenda placement, please call the Department of Planning & Building at (805) 781-5600. WHAT: Hearing to consider a request by Flint, a General Partnership, for Conditional Use Permits covering two adjacent project sites -- an apartment project (DRC202100140) and a Vesting Tentative Tract Map (Tract Map 3056/SUB2019-00092). The project site consists of two existing legal parcels. The Conditional Use Permit (covered under SUB2019-00092) will authorize smaller lot sizes as a planned development and allow for the construction of twelve detached single-family residences of 1,654 square feet each on the south side of Flint Place (APN 092575-001). The Conditional Use Permit (covered under DRC2021-00140) will authorize 24 one-bedroom apartment units of 651 square feet each on the north side of Flint Place (APN 092-576-005). The project will include off-site road improvements to Flint Place and project-related infrastructure. The project will result in the disturbance of the entire approximately two-acre site. Adjustments to the access and improvement design standards pursuant to Title 21 are also included in the request. The project sites are within the Commercial Retail and Residential Multi-Family land use categories and are located at 651 West Tefft Street in the community of Nipomo. The site is in the South County Sub-Area of the South County Planning Area. Also to be considered at the hearing will be adoption of the Environmental Document prepared for the item. The Environmental Coordinator, after completion of the initial study, finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report is not necessary. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and CA Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.) has been issued on January 28, 2021 for this project.

LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. CA-20-881301-BF Order No.: DS730020001141

YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 3/24/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): Kimberly Dawn Powell, an unmarried woman Recorded: 4/4/2006 as Instrument No. 2006023394 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SAN LUIS OBISPO County, California; Date of Sale: 8/3/2021 at 11:00AM Place of Sale: In the breezeway adjacent to the County General Services Building, located at 1087 Santa Rosa Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93408 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $164,839.07 The purported property address is: 109 PLACENTIA AVE, PISMO BEACH, CA 93449-2005 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 010-292-022 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-881301-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil

LEGAL NOTICES Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20881301-BF to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

Happy 80 th Birthday Aunt Judy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Poet Joshua Jennifer Espinoza writes, “i name my body girl of my dreams / i name my body proximity / i name my body full of hope despite everything.” I love her idea that we might give playful names and titles and descriptors to our bodies. In alignment with current astrological omens, I propose that you do just that. It’s time to take your relationship with your beautiful organism to a higher level. How about if you call it “Exciting Love River” or “Perfectly Imperfect Thrill” or “Amazing Maze”? Have fun dreaming up further possibilities!

We all love you bigger than the sky!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The English language, my native tongue, doesn’t ascribe genders to its nouns. But many languages do. In Spanish, the word for “bridge” is puente, which is masculine. In German, “bridge” is Brücke, which is feminine. A blogger named Tickettome says this is why Spanish speakers may describe a bridge as strong or sturdy, while German speakers refer to it as elegant or beautiful. I encourage you to meditate on bridges that possess the entire range of qualities, including the Spanish and German notions. In the coming weeks, you’ll be wise to build new metaphorical bridges, fix bridges that are in disrepair, and extinguish fires on any bridges that are burning.

Love,

Katy, Matthew, Kevin, Jason, & Kim

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Académie Française is an organization devoted to preserving the purity and integrity of the French language. One of its ongoing missions is to resist the casual incorporation of English words, which the younger generation of French people is inclined to do. Among anglicisms that don’t have the Académie’s approval: podcast, clickbait, chicklit, deadline, hashtag, marketing, timelapse, and showrunner. The ban doesn’t stop anyone from using the words, of course, but simply avoids giving them official recognition. I appreciate the noble intentions of the Académie, but regard its crusade as a losing battle that has minimal impact. In the coming weeks, I advise you to refrain from behavior that resembles the Académie’s. Resist the temptation of quixotic idealism. Be realistic and pragmatic. You Geminis often thrive in environments that welcome idiosyncrasies, improvisation, informality, and experimentation—especially now.

(June 21-July 22): Cancerian author Vladimir Mayakovsky wrote a poem about how one morning he went half-mad and conversed with the sun. At first he called the supreme radiance a “lazy clown,” complaining that it just floated through the sky for hours while he, Mayakovsky, toiled diligently at his day job painting posters. Then he dared the sun to come down and have tea with him, which, to his shock, the sun did. The poet was agitated and worried— what if the close approach of the bright deity would prove dangerous? But the visitor turned out to be friendly. They had a pleasant dialog, and in the end the sun promised to provide extra inspiration for Mayakovsky’s future poetry. I invite you to try something equally lyrical and daring, dear Cancerian.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A blogger named Bunny-Gal writes, “I almost completely forgot who I was there for a while. But then I dug a hole and smelled the fresh dirt and now I remember everything and am okay.” I recommend you follow her lead, Leo—even if you haven’t totally lost touch with your essence. Communing with Mother Earth in the most direct and graphic way to remind you of everything you need to remember: of the wisdom you’ve lost track of and the secrets you’ve hidden too well and the urgent intuitions that are simmering just below the surface of your awareness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I can’t understand the self-help gurus who advise us to relentlessly live in the present moment—to shed all awareness of past and future so as to focus on the eternal NOW. I mean, I appreciate the value of doing such an exercise on occasion for a few moments. I’ve tried it, and it’s often rejuvenating. But it can also be downright

foolish to have no thoughts of yesterday and tomorrow. We need to evaluate how circumstances will evolve, based on our previous experience and future projections. It can be a deadening, depleting act to try to strip ourselves of the rich history we are always embedded in. In any case, Virgo, I advise you to be thoroughly aware of your past and future in the coming days. To do so will enhance your intelligence and soulfulness in just the right ways to make good decisions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Psychotherapist and author Clarissa Pinkola Estés poetically refers to the source of our creativity as “the river under the river.” It’s the deep primal energy that “nourishes everything we make”—our “writing, painting, thinking, healing, doing, cooking, talking, smiling.” This river beneath the river doesn’t belong to any of us—is potentially available to all—but if harnessed correctly it works in very personal ways, fueling our unique talents. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because you’re close to gaining abundant new access to the power of the river beneath the river.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In formulating personal goals, Scorpio author Brené Brown urges us to emphasize growth rather than perfection. Trying to improve is a healthier objective than seeking flawless mastery. Bonus perk: This practical approach makes us far less susceptible to shame. We’re not as likely to feel like a failure or give up prematurely on our projects. I heartily endorse this strategy for you right now, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In a letter to Jean Paul Sartre, author Simone de Beauvoir described how she was dealing with a batch of challenging memories: “I’m reliving it street by street, hour by hour, with the mission of neutralizing it, and transforming it into an inoffensive past that I can keep in my heart without either disowning it or suffering from it.” I love this approach! It’s replete with emotional intelligence. I recommend it to you now, since it’s high time to wrangle and finagle with parts of your life story that need to be alchemically transformed and redeemed by your love and wisdom.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In one of his poems, Capricorn-born Kenneth Rexroth complains about having “a crooked guide on the twisted path of love.” But in my view, a crooked guide is the best kind. It’s unwise to engage the services of a love accomplice who’s always looking for the simplest, straightest route, or who imagines that intimate togetherness can be nourished with easy, obvious solutions. To cultivate the most interesting intimacy, we need influences that appreciate nuance and complexity—that thrive on navigating the tricky riddles and unpredictable answers. The next eight weeks will be an excellent time for you Capricorns to heed this advice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian singer Etta James (1938-2012) won six Grammy Awards and is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Grammy Hall of Fame, and Blues Hall of Fame. She testified, “Most of the songs I sing have that blues feeling in it. They have that sorry feeling. And I don’t know what I’m sorry about.” Wow! I’m surprised to hear this. Most singers draw on their personal life experience to infuse their singing with authentic emotion. In any case, I urge you to do the opposite of Etta James in the coming weeks. It’s important for the future of your healing that you identify exactly what you’re sorry about.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn,” writes Piscean self-help author John C. Maxwell. His statement is useful, but it harbors a problematic implication. It suggests that you can experience either winning or learning, but not both—that the only time you learn is when you lose. I disagree with this presumption. In fact, I think you’re now in a phase when it’s possible and even likely for you to both win and learn. ∆
