Cal Poly proposes campus-based fee increase to improve financial aid

he most expensive institution in the California State University (CSU) system is about to get a bit more costly for some. In a bid to boost its “inadequate financial aid and underfunded academic mission,” Cal Poly proposed to raise its campus-based fees between $650 and $880 per academic year for students joining this fall. This increase will be repeated for the fall cohorts of 2023, 2024, and 2025. “Thereafter, fall of 2026 and beyond, the fee will increase by a cost of living index. Initially, we plan to use 60 percent of the additional revenue to increase financial aid. This will be adjusted on an annual basis,” said Cal Poly President Jeff Armstrong in the official explainer video. The fee hike would not apply to current Cal Poly students, but some of them feel it’s unfair to incoming students. “The reason that this is concerning now is that it was sort of released during midterm season … so a lot of the students didn’t even know the full extent of what the fee contained. This was less of a proposal and more of a warning of what was to happen,” said Gracie Babatola, a second-year Cal Poly student. Babatola is also a member of a group called Abolitionist Action Central Coast—a social justice group that has been vocal online about resisting the new fee structure. She and her peer Alejandro Bupara, another Cal Poly student, said that the university failed at listening to student voices. “They’re actually supposed to have a university-wide referendum before raising campus-based fees. But if they don’t want to have [one], they have to justify [why]. In this case, it’s really clear that they’re not doing a referendum because they know that students have voted down fee increases in the past,” Bupara said. Matt Lazier, Cal Poly’s media relations director, explained via email that the university opted for a different CSU-approved avenue to gather

community input: “alternative consultation.” But Armstrong has the final say on adjusting the fees irrespective of which avenue is selected. “Cal Poly chose alternative consultation because it allows for broader campus community input (comment from employees and other university community members in addition to comment from students) and allows for the proposal to be adjusted based on the feedback received from campus community members. That is not true of a referendum,” Lazier said. “Alternative consultation also allows us to solve problems inherent in the process of current students making decisions for future students.” Though Cal Poly received a record total of more than 65,000 applications last fall, Armstrong announced in the video that many applicants ultimately opted for schools in the University of California system that have a lower cost after financial aid kicks in. The spike in fees is meant to increase financial aid packages and faculty salaries, with the aim of retaining more selected applicants by lowering the cost of attendance for some students. Lazier explained that students with annual family incomes of less than $90,000 would receive first priority, followed by those with family incomes between $90,000 and $150,000 a year. “After that, depending on funding available, we would look at other student populations outside of those priorities—for instance lowerincome out-of-state students,” Lazier said. Bupara and Babatola criticized this priority layout, calling it exclusionary toward out-of-state, international, and undocumented students. They also have a suggestion to improve financial aid without fee hikes: administrative pay cuts. “Administrative bloat has been a huge problem on the Cal Poly campus for years. Jeff Armstrong gets housing allowances and a car. I know he’s not the only overpaid administrator,”

Coastal Commission stops drilling off Highway 1

on Feb. 28. “No drilling, no lights, and they’ve moved out the mobile office, drilling rig, and most of the equipment. There have been several tanker trucks coming in today. They stay for a short time, seem to empty their loads and then leave. I’ve seen at least five trucks do this.” After more than a month of drilling interrupting their peaceful livelihood, Mahnken and her neighbors are relieved it’s over. If approved, Hydrostor plans to begin constructing the Pecho Energy Storage Center in 2023. The plant would use compressed air technology to store energy from off-peak hours and then deploy that energy back into the grid, and it could store up to a fifth of what Diablo Canyon Power Plant generates right now, according to the company. But the road to approval will be a long one, Veesart said. “Approval would come from the California Energy Commission, but there was a process back in the late ’70s and ’80s in which the Coastal Commission identified sites in the coastal zone that were suitable or unsuitable for power plants,” Veesart said. He said the Coastal Commission found that Chorro Valley—where Hydrostor wants to build the plant—has unique scenic resources that make it unsuitable for a power plant. “So the Commission said this is not a good site, but apparently there is still a process by which the California Energy Commission could

Residents of Canet Road off Highway 1 will no longer be kept up at night by drilling noises, thanks to the California Coastal Commission. Hydrostor, a Canadian-based energy company, was doing some “exploratory drilling” on a parcel of land near the base of Hollister Peak in preparation for their proposed Pecho Energy Storage Center. The company secured well permits from the SLO County Public Health Department, but the Coastal Commission said that wasn’t sufficient. “The activity they’re conducting out there is an activity that meets the definition of development in the Coastal Act and in the county’s Local Coastal Program,” Coastal Commission Enforcement Supervisor Pat Veesart told New Times. “It requires a coastal development permit and they don’t have one.” Veesart added that Hydrostor isn’t drilling wells but creating geological boreholes. On behalf of the Coastal Commission, he wrote a notice of violation letter to Hydrostor on Feb. 24. Veesart said Hydrostor acknowledged receipt of the letter, and neighbors say activity seems to have ceased. Hydrostor did not respond to New Times’ request for comment before press time. “There are a lot of changes in the last few days,” nearby resident Linda Mahnken said

FEE EXPLAINER Cal Poly President Jeff Armstrong said that increasing campus-based fees is the only available way to ensure the university’s “continued excellence.”

Bupara said. “We’re in a time of historic budgetary surplus for California. Even the budget that came back from the Legislature is more than the CSU thought it would be.” According Transparent California salary data, Armstrong was the fourth-highest paid employee in the CSU system as of 2020. His total pay and benefits in 2020 amounted to $599,308—more than twice what California Gov. Gavin Newsom earned that year. A 2019 state audit report called out Cal Poly for having the highest mandatory fee increase (72 percent). The report also stated that mandatory fees aren’t usually included in financial aid coverage, though Lazier said that the new aid structure would cover those costs. Bupara added that tapping in to external sources of funding would also strengthen financial support. “President Armstrong’s job is fundraising anyway right? We’ve seen how well he can fundraise when it’s for things he wants like fancy buildings and labs on the Cal Poly campus,” he said. “We believe they should increase financial aid, but that should not be tied to an across-the-board fee increase for students.” ∆ —Bulbul Rajagopal still approve it if the [Coastal] Commission can make certain findings,” Veesart said. One of those findings is the project would need to be in compliance with local land use requirements. “It’s not an approved project pursuant to the county’s Local Coastal Program [LCP], so Hydrostor would have to ask the county to amend the LCP,” Veesart said. “That LCP amendment would have to be certified by the Coastal Commission.” Until that happens, Veesart said, any drilling happening on the site is an unpermitted activity and must stop immediately. “There are some high hurdles they’re going to have to get over before they can get this approved,” Veesart said. —Malea Martin

Rescue Plan funds to help save Anderson Hotel

Four major projects to combat homelessness in San Luis Obispo County will get critical funding boosts thanks the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The SLO County Board of Supervisors allocated $5.3 million of its ARPA funds on March 1 to support local efforts to save the Anderson Hotel in downtown SLO, build new affordable units in Arroyo Grande, establish NEWS continued page 5

News NEWS from page 4

“pallet shelters” in Grover Beach, and continue operating a safe parking site for unhoused residents on Kansas Avenue. “I have total confidence these projects will be successful,” 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold said before the board’s unanimous vote. The Housing Authority of SLO (HASLO) received nearly $4 million of the funds to assist with two projects: the Anderson Hotel and a 63-unit low-income housing development in Arroyo Grande. Scott Smith, HASLO’s executive director, told the board that the Anderson Hotel’s private owners intend to sell the property—putting all 68 of its affordable units in jeopardy. HASLO hopes to purchase it, with help from $2 million in county ARPA funds. “The owners are willing to sell to us within a reasonable amount of time,” Scott said. “But they do want to sell, and if not to us, there are other proposals out there for conversion to boutique hotels and things like that, and the residents are extremely frail that live there.” Five Cities Homeless Coalition received $400,000 in funds to help it establish the county’s first-ever pallet houses—small, independent shelter units for housing the homeless. SLO County also invested $1 million in ARPA money in itself—to continue operating and improving a safe parking site on Kansas Ave., which now has about 100 participants. County staff said that an initial investment of $500,000 will be fully spent by the end of the current fiscal year.

DENTAL CARE IMPLANT SPECIAL

Last year, when SLO County first received its $54.9 million share of federal ARPA funds, the Board of Supervisors set aside $6 million for housing and homelessness. It also allocated $30 million for public health and economic recovery, $10 million to restore government services, and $15 million for water, sewer, and broadband projects. —Peter Johnson

Grover Beach chooses district map for election transition

Wedding bells of a different kind will be ringing in Grover Beach, marking the end of its months-long hunt for a City Council district map. At its Feb. 28 meeting, the council approved Plan 901’s “wedding cake” model— named for the layered structure of the four districts. For the first time in city history, the blueprint will lay district lines as Grover Beach transitions from an at-large election system to a district-based one. But an official from the National Demographics Corporation (NDC), the agency that assisted Grover Beach with its districting process, found Plan 901 to be risky compared to its three counterparts that were also in the running. “There are rumblings about court challenges to the census data and the particular practice the census utilized called differential privacy, which is being challenged,” NDC Consultant Daniel Phillips said at the meeting. “If those cases were to be successful, it could require a redrawing of districts that are no longer population balanced after that

census data is reconfigured. If you want to be safer, it’s best to have a population deviation that’s on the lower side.” Phillips is referring to a now inactive 2021 challenge in federal court that took offense at the Census Bureau’s delay with releasing the census data. But one of the other issues was the bureau’s use of differential privacy, which is a process that blurs demographic data in smaller regions by withholding the identity of any one individual. Mapmakers fear that this system makes census data unusable. “With differential privacy, the bureau indicates the overall/total population in each state is counted ‘as enumerated,’ but that all other levels of geography (i.e., congressional districts) could have a variance in the raw data. The challenge was rejected by a three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit District Court, but may be appealed,” Kristin Eriksson, Grover Beach’s deputy city manager, told New Times via email. One of the federal rules for drawing district maps is that populations across all the districts must be roughly equally balanced. This means that the total population deviation of a map must be below 10 percent, something Phillips called “presentably constitutional.” He informed City Council that Plan 901, which has a deviation of 9.5 percent, runs the risk of shooting above the 10 percent threshold if a successful census data appeal calls for reconfiguration. Another goal for the district map was to leave communities of interest as undivided as possible, according to the state’s criteria for cities. These are groups of people who share common social or economic interests, and include school districts, rental

properties, and high-density commercial areas, among others. The City Council was also encouraged to balance the Latino citizen voting age population as a way to honor historically marginalized and disadvantaged groups. In Grover Beach, Latino residents make up the largest community after white people. Mayor Pro Tem Karen Bright was the only council member who noted a different map—Plan 904—as her top choice because it left the Latino community, the coastal area, and multi-family high-density communities intact. But all other council members favored Plan 901 because of its easily identifiable boundaries that didn’t “zigzag” across the map. “I believe that keeping communities of interest is more important than keeping a straight line,” Bright said. Mayor Jeff Lee said Plan 901 keeps the coastal zone in one district, school district boundaries are more closely represented between Districts 2 and 3, and it also provides District 3 with a high proportion of Latino voters. The remaining council members agreed with him. During roll call, Bright voted in favor of Plan 901, making the motion unanimous. “The ordinance adopting district lines will be effective 30 days after adoption on March 28,” Eriksson told New Times. “Districts 1 and 2 will be up for election in November of 2022, and the new district boundaries and district-based elections for those seats will apply (as they will with Districts 3 and 4 in 2024).” —Bulbul Rajagopal

Women’s March SLO rally to show solidarity with Ukraine For Andrea Chmelik, a Pismo Beach resident and co-executive director of Women’s March San Luis Obispo, watching Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is like “watching history repeat itself.” Born and raised in former Czechoslovakia, Chmelik lived under Soviet Union rule until its fall in 1989. In 1968, she said, the country had a brief moment of political and social liberation, but like with Russia in Ukraine today, the Soviet Union responded by invading. “There were efforts to bring some more liberties to the country, like freedom of press, freedom of speech,” Chmelik told New Times. “Then people woke up and found Soviet tanks and military in the street. Everything went back to elections with one party, being forced to vote for the Communist Party, and no freedom of press or freedom of speech. There are just so many parallels between Slovakia and Ukraine with this occupation again.” In a gesture of solidarity with Ukrainians, Women’s March SLO recently announced that it will donate a portion of the funds it raises at its annual rally on March 5 to People in Need, a Slovakia-based organization actively providing aid to Ukrainian refugees. Event organizers also plan to speak out

against the war during the rally, which kicks off at noon in SLO’s Mitchell Park. The event will celebrate five years of the local Women’s March, and it features a lineup of speakers who will talk about issues like reproductive freedom, racial injustice, voter suppression, and the climate crisis. “When the Women’s March got started, it was in response to events where many people were worried that democracy was under attack, that we were heading into times of not just the misogyny and sexism that we saw in 2016, but truly the fear that some of the democratic principles that we rely on and take for granted might be under attack,” Chmelik said. “I think we all realized with the last administration that there was good reason to be worried about those issues.” Chmelik said that the tragic events in Ukraine serve as a painful reminder that democracy is fragile and requires citizen vigilance, participation, and defense— traits that are on full display by the Ukrainian people right now. “Democracy is not easy. It takes work,” Chmelik said. “You can’t afford the cynicism that always creeps in. That’s my big concern. “That’s one reason why I’m glad we’re going to be standing in solidarity with Ukraine,” she continued. “It’s to support the people who are currently there and suffering and the incredible bravery we’re seeing, but it’s also as a reminder that we have our own work to do here.” ∆ —Peter Johnson

Clear out and clean up

RINSE AND REPEAT San Luis Obispo has ordered more than 60 homeless encampment clear-outs since the start of COVID-19. 2 Mexicans Junk Removal, the city’s contractor for cleanups, threw away 120 tons of trash in that time.

Homeless cleanup receipts show extent of SLO city’s crackdown on encampments

an Luis Obispo’s stance on homeless encampments led to dozens of sweeps across town and more than 120 tons of debris—the equivalent weight of 10 large school buses—hauled to the landfill throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a New Times analysis of city records. In almost two years, SLO conducted at least 60 major encampment clear-outs and paid one contractor more than $142,000 to assist with those cleanups. Sweeps took place in more than 30 unique locations in town, including parks, streets, pathways, open spaces, creek beds, train tracks, and bridges. “Over the last several years, we have seen an increase in the number of encampments in SLO,” city Public Communications Manager Whitney Szentesi said in a statement. “We’ve also seen an increase in the size of encampments and the pace at which sanitation, safety, and overall environmental health decline at encampment sites.” New Times obtained invoices from 2 Mexicans Junk Removal, a local company with a contract to provide regular, ongoing encampment cleanup services for the city. The dozens of receipts show that between April 2020 and January 2022, the junk removal company was dispatched to at least one encampment in city limits per month. During most months, it worked more—as many as six. Cleanups occurred after city authorities decided to break encampments up and notified residents. Once those residents vacated at the threat of arrest or citation, the company hauled what remained to the landfill. Over 22 months of invoices, 2 Mexicans Junk Removal recorded 120 tons of discarded material, though 40 percent of the invoices didn’t include tonnage. Homeless advocates argue that the city’s extensive enforcement demonstrates its cruel practice of punishing the unhoused during a pandemic. Frank Kopcinski, directing attorney at the California Rural Legal Assistance’s SLO office, filed a lawsuit last year in federal court on behalf of five homeless residents, accusing the city of constitutional violations. “It does not surprise me. I think that

That’s what I hear from people who are unhoused out in the city.” City officials, meanwhile, said that encampments are not safe shelter options for the unhoused, the environment, or the community at large, and the city must enforce against them while also trying to connect people to shelter and other services. “The city will continue our positive investments of financial and human resources toward supporting our unhoused community, while balancing whole community welfare and taking actions necessary to ensure all members of our community are respecting collective expectations for … health and safety,” Szentesi said. Prior to 2020 and the pandemic, SLO approached homeless encampments on a case-by-case basis, contracting cleanup work to vendors as the need arose. But in the summer of 2020, the city decided to issue a request for proposals for ongoing, regular “turnkey” encampment cleanup services. 2 Mexicans Junk Removal won the job, charging a rate of $495 per ton of material and more for extra labor. Owner Julian Mora declined to discuss his city contract with New Times, but noted “we are glad to be working to help provide a safe and healthy city for all residents, regardless of their housing status.” The company filed about 70 invoices for encampment work between mid-2020 and early 2022, and received $142,148 in overall compensation. The scope of the cleanups varied, but some were laborious, multi-day projects producing several tons of material and large items like couches and mattresses, according to the invoices. “We had to rake everything on our knees and crawl it out,” read one invoice for an October 2020 cleanup of a camp at “the bridge under the Broad Street bus stop.” Other sweep locations, as labeled on the invoices, included Prado Road, Bullock Lane near the train tracks, Toro Street

Mediating meditation SLO County has a new sound meditation pod that aims to help some members of the justice system, but getting there wasn’t easy

glimmering pair of golden scissors sliced through a bright green ribbon in front of a dozen people at the San Luis Obispo County Behavioral Health Department on Feb. 25. “Green is the heart chakra,” SLO County 3rd District Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg said with a laugh as she cut the ribbon. A small crowd watched Ortiz-Legg inaugurate an immersive sound meditation pod meant to alleviate stressors for the county’s jail diversion population. But getting to the commencement wasn’t all smooth sailing. Leaders from Heal—the organization that created the meditation pod—and the SLO County Prevention and Outreach office first had to wade through the pandemic and questions from a handful of disgruntled residents and two county supervisors about the cost of the project. “I sat here thinking, ‘This is like the emperor has no clothing on.’ To me, it’s outrageous that we’re going to spend half a million dollars on this program. I don’t know why you have to keep reinventing the wheel. If you have a mousetrap that works, use that mousetrap,” 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton said at the Dec. 14 board meeting where the project was discussed. “I don’t think I’ve heard our staff talk this hard in pushing a project forward ever in my seven years on the board … I don’t even understand this pod concept. A tent! Why can’t a tent work?” The Heal pod was paid for using Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) innovation funds, a state-allocated pot of money dedicated to testing and trying new practices in the field of mental health. At the county level, the Board of Supervisors is responsible for ensuring that something is learned from those new practices, according to Frank Warren, the SLO County MHSA coordinator. Warren added that the MHSA funds come with a “three-year clock.” All unspent dollars will have to be

returned to the state if there aren’t plans to introduce creative projects in the community. Costing $175,320 in the first year, the Heal pod’s budget would total $576,180 by the end of the 2024-25 fiscal year. At the December meeting, supervisors approved the fiscal plan in a 3-2 motion, with Compton and 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold dissenting. Compton and Arnold said they were concerned that taxpayers would be unfairly impacted by the pod’s costs and the source of the MHSA funds. “It’s out of people’s paychecks … that are working hard and barely surviving in this county and in other counties. I honestly think this is an outrageous waste of money but I guess I’m in the minority here,” Compton said at the meeting. But tax dollars from hard-up residents aren’t what’s funding the project. MHSA money comes from 2004’s Proposition 63, which is a 1 percent tax on incomes totaling $1 million and above. “Those funds are then allocated to each county based on an algorithm that includes the number of people who live under the poverty level, the number of people who are eligible for Medi-Cal,” Warren told New Times. Compton and Arnold weren’t the only people who raised objections to the Heal pod. At the December meeting, some community members criticized the project for being allegedly unscientific. “I was alive in the ’60s when the transcendental meditation gurus were leading thousands of gullible people in Hindu chants … to effectively relieve them of their wallets. How is this any different?” a Paso Robles resident asked. First District Supervisor John Peschong had the answer. “I was leaning against it … but this program, I believe would probably show benefits. I grew up in Los Angeles in the ’60s, too, so I know exactly what we’re talking about when we’re talking about

meditation. But meditation is a little different than what it was 60 years ago,” Peschong said at the meeting. Mahesh Natrajan, the founder and CEO of Heal, told New Times that the sound meditation pod provides more than regular meditation through its use of vibrations and tactile feedback. People in the county’s justice system—those on probation, court-ordered appointees, and some of the recently incarcerated—will get to experience it first. “When we took it to the county, we were really excited about being able to serve a population that is either incarcerated and in the prison system, or a larger set who are in a spectrum where they should get services but don’t qualify, or people who are just unsure as to whether they need help. This is a program of preemptive action,” Natrajan explained. Natrajan is a computer engineer and yoga teacher based in San Jose.

he Central Coast has the green light from the federal government to develop wind energy off the coast of Morro Bay, and lease auctions are opening up this year. But how much the local economy will benefit from such a project is still unclear—and the answer depends on the feasibility of a local port. “Last week’s record-breaking $4.37 billion New York Bight offshore wind lease sale makes clear that the market for the clean energy economy is hot,” Melissa James, president and CEO of local economic coalition REACH, told New Times in a written statement. But a REACH-commissioned economic report, published last year by Cal Poly, found that the Central Coast’s economy won’t benefit nearly as much from offshore wind development without also building a specialized wind port here in SLO County. California doesn’t currently have any wind ports, but it will need one in order to construct and maintain offshore wind turbines—which the Biden administration wants to deploy up and down the state’s coastline. Having a port on Central Coast land would mean the assembly, maintenance, and repair of wind turbines—and many of the jobs that come with those projects—would come from the local region, and thereby benefit the local economy, the report found. REACH and local politicians have called for a feasibility study to see if a SLO County wind port is possible, and some have proposed building it where Diablo Canyon Power Plant sits now. But Martin Rodriguez, a Tri-County Building and Construction Trades Council executive, isn’t too optimistic. “The ability to have a port there is probably not realistic, and this is just from my conversations with the contractors looking at these areas,” Rodriguez said. “The biggest detractor for a port in SLO is Diablo won’t be completely decommissioned until 2035 and these [wind turbines] will be done by then.” Rodriguez believes the region’s economy can still benefit from wind energy without a local port. “If we’re going to be involved on the Central Coast it’s going to be in the manufacturing and supply chain end of these things,” he said. “That’s where the jobs will come from.” Though offshore wind is a new concept in California, Rodriguez believes the labor can stay local. “We already do wind turbines,” he said. “We’ve got a project in Lompoc right now, and the blades, the towers are all the same.” What’s different, of course, are the floating barges the offshore turbines would sit on.

Opinion The whole pie

f Diablo Canyon Power Plant is required to suspend operation of the largest supplier of clean energy in California, where will the equivalent power from five Hoover Dams come from? Even though the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) claims the loss of substantial, reliable, emission-free power from Diablo Canyon Power Plant would be replaced by clean energy as stated in SB 1090, this apparently is not the case. The CPUC also signed off on SB 100, which promised the same commitment along with then Gov. Jerry Brown that replaceable power would come from clean energy. The signs are not showing this pointing

in the direction of totally clean energy. Apparently, the CPUC has announced this new energy mix will come from “unspecified imports.” The movement to rid nuclear power from the energy mix is just inviting more fossil fuel to fill the void. Intermittent wind and solar cannot meet the power needs and demands of modern society. Adding more gas and coal-fired energy will not reduce harmful human health or atmospheric conditions. What about the ongoing climate change concerns? The fossil fuel industry has been trying to get rid of nuclear power for years. They don’t just want a piece of the pie, they want the whole pie.

I implore the powers to perish the possibility of financing this vanity project and spend our money on something philanthropic like food banks, homeless shelters, and drug rehabilitation centers. Oh and full disclosure: My wife was the very successful development director for SLO Little Theater and would have known how to weather these difficult times. Her fundraisers, inexhaustible energy, and creativity kept the Little Theater always in the black. Her career

SLO “Rep” should still be a SLO community theater. Community theater. A creative outlet for all citizens far and wide. A repertory theater is, by definition, an exclusive club of limited, privileged performers. When the longest continually running community theater in the country was replaced by Kevin Harris (Managing artistic director? Please.) and his enablers, it seemed no one noticed or understood the significance of such a change. It was the end of an era for our community, not some cultural upgrade

I thought it must be a parody or something, but several perusals show it to be a genuine advertisement. I thought that cigarette companies were no longer allowed to advertise like that. Even if something has changed and it is allowed, it is grossly irresponsible to run ads for products that kill.

Seniors, raise your voices While it is commendable that the Biden administration has done much to aid families with children and those seeking work with the recently passed infrastructure bill and stimulus checks, that aid did nothing to help the elderly living on Social Security or the disabled who cannot work. Even if the Build Back Better bill is passed by Congress, that will also do nothing to help seniors. The last state stimulus check of $600 was only distributed to Californians who filed taxes with the IRS.

wenty years ago, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 117, authorizing “a community choice aggregator to aggregate the electrical load of interested electricity consumers within its boundaries.” Thus began a revolution for local clean energy and against the century-old iron grip of monopoly utilities. On Feb. 8, the Atascadero City Council adopted a resolution to request membership in Central Coast Community Energy (3CE), and is now on the road to obtaining the benefits of membership, including reduced emissions, cost savings, incentive and rebate programs, and investment in local energy development. When Atascadero formally joins next year, every city in the county will be a member of 3CE. It was an about-face more than two years in the making, an outcome in stark contrast to the summer of 2019, when the council majority spurned community choice energy based on the claim that they didn’t have enough information and therefore would not hold a public hearing—i.e. they chose not to get more information, which was available in the reams of data already provided, or from the six cities in SLO County that had already studied and discussed the issue and elected to join, or from the 20 regional community choice programs that were already in existence statewide and

serving more than 3 million customers. As New Times reported on Atascadero’s stall in 2019, “Councilmembers Susan Funk and Charles Bourbeau … wanted to see the issue agendized in August for a decision. ‘Not to do so, it says we’re not willing to do the homework that we were elected to do to make decisions for our city. That’s going to be tough to defend,’ Funk said.” Three years later, the presence of Funk and Bourbeau at the City Council meeting that finally triggered the process to secure community choice energy underscored a vital point, as did the absence of former Councilmember Roberta Fonzi, a climate change denier who led the charge against community choice in 2019: Elections matter. Atascadero wasn’t the only local government body spurning clean energy and its benefits in 2019. That same year, thanks to SLO County Supervisors Lynn Compton, Debbie Arnold, and John Peschong, residents in the unincorporated county missed out on all the same benefits that the residents of Atascadero did when the board majority declined to agendize a vote on whether to join the regional community choice program in 2020. And, unlike Atascadero, that is where the residents of SLO County’s unincorporated areas remain. As the concept of community choice in

California celebrates its 20th year, and those unfortunate SLO County residents mark another year of getting nowhere closer to participating in its benefits, here’s the box score, courtesy of Clean Power Exchange: Operational Community Choice agencies: • MCE Clean Energy—launched 2010, Marin, Napa, and cities in Solano and Contra Costa counties • Sonoma Clean Power—launched May 2014, Sonoma and Mendocino counties • Lancaster Choice Energy—launched May 2015, city of Lancaster in LA County • CleanPowerSF—launched May 2016, city and county of San Francisco • Peninsula Clean Energy—launched October 2016, San Mateo County • Silicon Valley Clean Energy—launched April 2017, Santa Clara County • Apple Valley Choice Energy—launched April 2017, city of Apple Valley • Redwood Coast Energy Authority— launched May 2017, Humboldt County • Pico Rivera Innovative Municipal Energy (PRIME)—launched September 2017 • Pioneer Community Energy—launched February 2018, Placer County • Clean Power Alliance of Southern California—launched February 2018, LA and Ventura counties • Central Coast Community Energy

Opinion

The Shredder

‘Om,’ ‘aum,’ or ‘huh?’

y the looks of it, the Heal immersive sound meditation pod is little more than a refrigerator-sized orange box with a padded bench and red curtain—one that will cost $576,180 by the end of the 202425 fiscal year—so it’s understandable that a Paso Robles resident said, “I was alive in the ’60s when the transcendental meditation gurus were leading thousands of gullible people in Hindu chants … to effectively relieve them of their wallets,” and asked the SLO County Board of Supervisors, who approved the project, “How is this any different?” “The project,” which will be used by the SLO County Behavioral Health Department, is designed to chill out mental health patients before they go to therapy appointments, allowing them through the “use of vibrations and tactile feedback”—and a seven-minute-long audio set created by a musicologist—to “calm their nerves or bring them into a place where they can have conversations with therapists that go deeper than what’s immediate,’” yoga teacher and computer scientist Mahesh Natrajan, the founder and CEO of Heal, explained. If you’re rolling your eyes right now, you’re not alone. The two dissenting supervisors who voted against approving the project also seem to think it sounds like a lot of New Age hooey. “I sat here thinking, ‘This is like the emperor has no clothing on,’” 4th

District Supervisor Lynn Compton said at the Dec. 14 board meeting that discussed the Heal pod. “To me, it’s outrageous that we’re going to spend half a million dollars on this program. I don’t know why you have to keep reinventing the wheel. If you have a mousetrap that works, use that mousetrap. I don’t even understand this pod concept. A tent! Why can’t a tent work?” Oh Lynn, bless your heart. You admit you “don’t even understand this pod concept,” yet you dismiss it out of hand? Do you really think claiming it’s trying to “reinvent the wheel” is a good analogy? It’s a new, innovative treatment concept, and just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it won’t work. You probably don’t understand lift and force, and yet, look up there. It’s a flying plane. Amazing! And do you really want to compare mental health treatment to “a mousetrap that works”? A lot of the participants who will be using this new treatment are incarcerated or at risk of incarceration. About 46 percent of offenders released in California are reconvicted within three years, so I’d argue the “mousetrap that works” could use some reinventing, and if this contraption is effective, isn’t that a positive step forward? The idea is to alleviate stressors for the county’s jail diversion population. Even a cool half a million bucks over four years would be less expensive than incarceration.

Perhaps best of I don’t know what it specifically costs to imprison someone in the all, they probably weren’t tax dollars SLO County Jail, but according collected from you, because as Warren to the Legislative Analyst’s explained, the money came from 2004’s Office, the California Legislature’s Proposition 63, which is a 1 percent nonpartisan fiscal and policy tax on incomes totaling $1 million and advisor, “It costs an average of about above.

Count me in! in no time, but that didn’t stop Compton Naturally, conservative board member from continuing to defecate all over the 5th District Supervisor Debbie idea: “It’s out of people’s paychecks … that Arnold joined Compton in her derision are working hard and barely surviving toward the project, but surprisingly, in this county and in other counties. I fellow conservative and 1st District honestly think this is an outrageous Supervisor John Peschong voted in waste of money, but I guess I’m in the favor, saying,MUSIC “I grew up in Los Angeles in minority here.” the ’60s, too, so I know exactly what we’re Whether it’s a waste of money or not talking about when we’re talking about remains to be seen, but the funds for FLAVOR/EATS meditation.

Homecoming … A homeless jazz singer mounts a fundraising concert

PHOTO COURTESY OF DEBORAH GILMORE

n January 2020, gifted vocalist Deborah Gilmore arrived in San Luis Obispo just in time for the pandemic to extinguish opportunities for her to perform. Concert venues were closing, she didn’t have connections within the local music scene, and worse yet, she was homeless. Now two years later, she’s still looking for a permanent place to lay her head, but through hard work and perseverance, she’s eked out a place for herself by first busking on the streets, next doing small shows outside of local businesses, and eventually by mounting a series of wellreceived concerts at The Penny, a small event space in downtown SLO. Next Thursday, March 10, Gilmore will present her biggest concert yet, “A Love Affair in Paris,” at the historic Fremont Theater (doors at 6:30 p.m.; $25 early bird tickets, $30 general at my805tix.com). Tickets are also for sale at Dr. Cain’s Comics, The Center SLO, and Papa’s Thai Café. “The show combines jazz, R&B, [songs made famous by] Sinatra, and songs from the Sean Connery era of James Bond music,” Gilmore explained. “The theme throughout the evening is about love and the experiences one goes through being in love!” During her two years in SLO, she’s developed quite a network of musical collaborators and has played with some of our finest musicians. This show features an especially notable performer. “My special guest is Walt Johnson, former lead trumpet player for Frank Sinatra,” Gilmore said. “The other musicians include a Cal Poly jazz instructor playing saxophone, a professional trombone player from San Francisco, a local professional on drums, as well as students from the Cal Poly and Cuesta jazz programs.” Gilmore has also cooked up quite a set list. “The songs include music from the four genres mentioned earlier—tunes like Carlos Jobim’s ‘How Insensitive’ and the well-known jazz standard ‘Orange Colored Sky.’ ‘Sway’ by Michael Bublé and ‘Can We Change the World’ by R&B singer Maysa Leak. Music also by the late Sarah Vaughan, Al Jarreau, and George Duke. Sinatra tunes include ‘It Was a Very Good Year’ and ‘You Make Me Feel So Young.’ I’m also’ including songs from the Bond motion picture Diamonds Are Forever and the ‘James Bond Theme.’” Great music, terrific musicians, and a good cause to help find Gilmore a safe and affordable place to live! This show is brought to you by Gilmore’s production company, Mo Betta Jazz, and she says the show will run about an hour and 45

Also this week at the Fremont, a concert canceled last June 5 is rescheduled for Sunday, March 5, when The Taj Mahal Sextet performs (doors at 7 p.m.; all ages; $40 to $67 at eventbrite.com). Born Henry St. Claire Fredericks Jr., Taj, now 79, has been a mainstay since he began performing in 1964. The multi-instrumentalist has an unmistakable voice and a unique guitar style, and he’s received three Grammy Awards, most recently in 2018 for his album TajMo, a collaboration with Keb’ Mo’. He’s also been in more than a dozen films over the years, starting with Sounder (1972). “I just want to be able to make the music that I’m hearing come to me—and that’s what I did,” Taj Mahal said in press materials. “When I say, ‘I did,’ I’m not coming from the ego. The music comes from somewhere. You’re just the conduit it comes through. You’re there to receive the gift.” EDM fans get ready for Said the Sky on Wednesday, March 9 (doors at 7 p.m.; $28 at seetickets.us). “Playing piano and various instruments since the age of 8, Colorado native Trevor Christensen is coming forward with a fresh perspective on music,” according to press materials. “Bringing a melodic background and technical training into his work, he is able to capture everything beautiful in what people know as EDM. His music is what he hopes it to be, an experience: a captivating blend of moving basslines and soaring melodies.”

Arts Artifacts

Renovation project at Strother Park’s basketball court includes new mural

A restoration project at Strother Park’s basketball court in Arroyo Grande is set to be completed before the end of March. The project was initiated by local student Noah Pick, who pitched it to the Arroyo Grande City Council as a way “to remedy the lack of suitable outdoor basketball courts in Arroyo Grande to play on during the pandemic and the lack of indoor courts due to closures,” according to press materials. The renovations include the resurfacing, painting, and installation of new backboards and rims, and a new 4,700-square-foot mural designed by Pick. The colorful mural will depict elements of Arroyo Grande’s geography, as was approved through the Arroyo Grande Public Art review process. The restoration project is described as a collaboration between Pick, local entrepreneur Trevor Weiger, the city of Arroyo Grande, and Project Backboard. For info on how to donate to the project and volunteer opportunities, email agrec@ arroyogrande.org. Strother Park is located at 1150 Huasna Road, Arroyo Grande.

remember hearing about Anna Delvey while her trial was going on, but I had no idea the depths to which her deceptions went. The “this whole story is completely true, except for all the

parts that are totally made up” retelling of Delvey’s mysterious character and eventual downfall gets to the nitty gritty of not just Anna herself, but those around her who bought her lies for so long. A lot of the series also focuses on Vivian Kent (Anna Chlumsky) , a reporter hungry for her next story and desperate for redemption after a professional fumble. Julia Garner’s Anna speaks with an odd and undefinable accent, is rude and blunt, and is only interested in helping people if it helps herself. From using private jets to staying in lavish hotel rooms without paying, what Delvey managed to pull off is quite stunning. Creating fake bank statements, promising money wires that never came

FRONTIER LOVE Sam (Martin Sensmeier) and Elsa (Isabel May) fall in love in episode 7 of the Paramount TV series 1883.

reated by Taylor Sheridan (Sicario, Hell or High Water, Wind River), 1883 is a prequel to the popular TV series Yellowstone, about the Duttons, a ranching family struggling to maintain their hold on a sprawling Montana ranch. In 1883, we follow James (Tim McGraw) and Margaret Dutton (Faith

through, securing loans with banks based on her imagined $ 60 million trust fund—she did it all. She wanted to build the Anna Delvey Foundation, an exclusive club in New York city devoted to providing the über rich with a place to show off their wealth. In looking for her story, Vivian finds people in two camps—either they feel conned and wronged by Delvey, or they stand behind her, even after learning what a house of cards her life really was. The character is truly unlikeable, and Garner plays a vicious brat so well. This series is great for a binge. It’s a Shonda Rhimes (Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal ) drama in the best way possible.

Hill), and their daughter, Elsa (Isabel May), as they team up with wagon train guide Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott) and his sideman Thomas (LaMonica Garrett) when they agree to take a group of greenhorn immigrants across the country and into Oregon. It’s classic Western storytelling. The aging Shea is on his last push across the frontier, wanting to make one last hard, bitter trek, knowing he’s all that stands between success and certain death for the travelers desperate for a better home. Independent James Dutton puts family first and teaming up is a strategic decision—one that can be reversed if it suits him.

NARCISSIST Julia Garner stars as real-life swindler Anna Delvey, who posed as a German heiress to con her way to the top of New York society, in the TV miniseries Inventing Anna.

Much of the story is about independent Elsa, a young woman coming into her own, who falls in love with the land … and a Native American named Sam (Martin Sensmeier). There’s danger at every turn, whether it’s the terrain, weather, bad men, or war parties protecting their territory. It can get melodramatic to be sure, but Sheridan knows how to write a propulsive storyline. I’m looking forward to season 2, and there’s also word of a show called 1932, portraying another chapter in the Dutton family story. (10 approximately one-hour episodes) Δ —Glen

obin Wolf, owner of newly opened SLO bar and restaurant Highwater, has worked in the bar industry for two decades. In that time, she said a lot has changed for the better for women in the industry—but many still face discrimination. “I was working for this amazing restaurant and I remember guests, as they were leaving after a great experience, speaking to one of the owners of the restaurant at the front door and saying, ‘Oh, you must be the owner’s wife,’” Wolf said. “That struck me really hard, because this person is also the owner of the restaurant and does probably more work than anyone else involved, and she’s still being referred to as the owner’s wife. “We still have a ways to go.” Wolf is a guest speaker at the upcoming event Behind the Bar, happening on March 7 at Highwater, where she and other women will share their experiences in the beverage industry, followed by a mixer with cocktails and light bites. Behind the Bar is one of more than 20 events featuring women in the food and beverage industry, all organized by At Her Table for San Luis Obispo County Women’s Restaurant Week (March 6 to 13), plus dozens of food specials going on throughout the county. At Her Table was founded in 2021 by Michelle Barrera, owner of the curated community calendar EnjoySLO, after talking with local women in the food and beverage industry.

“There were stories of not being acknowledged, not being recognized,” Barrera said. “I’ve heard stories of people saying, ‘Give me the real owner,’ or assuming that they are just the chef’s wife—that’s the common thing I’ve been hearing. I knew there were so many beautiful stories to these women, and I thought, let’s just do a women’s week.” Barrera ended up throwing last year’s event together in three weeks, and At Her Table was born. This year, the weeklong event is expanding to include the beverage industry in addition to food. “It grew a lot. We started at 36, and

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 248 MONTANA WAY, LOS OSOS, CA 93402 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $392,097.81 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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,

LEGAL NOTICES you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 097421-CA. 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 Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 097421-CA 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.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: See if you can forgive yourself for a wrong turn you haven’t been able to forgive yourself for. Newsletter.freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): “I not only bow to the inevitable,” wrote Aries author Thornton Wilder. “I am fortified by it.” Wow. That was a brazen declaration. Did he sincerely mean it? He declared that he grew stronger through surrender, that he derived energy by willingly giving in to the epic trends of his destiny. I don’t think that’s always true for everyone. But I suspect it will be a useful perspective for you in the coming weeks, Aries.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Vive la différence! Hooray for how we are not alike! I am all in favor of cultural diversity, neurodiversity, spiritual diversity, and physical diversity. Are you? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to celebrate the bounties and blessings that come your way because of the holy gift of endless variety. The immediate future will also be a perfect phase to be extra appreciative that your companions and allies are not the same as you. I encourage you to tell them why you love how different they are. Now here’s poet Anna Akhmatova to weave it together: “I breathe the moonlight, and you breathe the sunlight, but we live together in the same love.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini singer-songwriter Bob Dylan said, “I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.” I think that will be a key theme for you in the coming weeks. Dylan described the type of hero I hope you aspire to be. Be alert! You are on the cusp of an invigorating liberation. To ensure you proceed with maximum grace, take on the increased responsibility that justifies and fortifies your additional freedom.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I’d rather be seduced than comforted,” wrote author Judith Rossner. What about you, Cancerian? Do you prefer being enticed, invited, drawn out of your shell, and led into interesting temptation? Or are you more inclined to thrive when you’re nurtured, soothed, supported, and encouraged to relax and cultivate peace? I’m not saying one is better than the other, but I urge you to favor the first in the coming weeks: being enticed, invited, drawn out of your shell, and led into interesting temptation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A woman from Cornwall, UK, named Karen Harris was adopted as a little girl. At age 18, she began trying to track down her biological parents. Thirty-four years later, she was finally reunited with her father. The turning point: He appeared on the “Suggested Friends” feature on her Facebook page. I propose we make Karen Harris your inspirational role model. Now is a favorable time to find what you lost a while ago; to re-link with a good resource that disappeared from your life; to reclaim a connection that could be meaningful to you again.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Buddhist teacher Chögyam Trungpa told us, “Meditation is not a matter of trying to achieve ecstasy, spiritual bliss, or tranquility.” Instead, he said that meditation is how we “expose and undo our neurotic games, our self-deceptions, our hidden fears and hopes.” Excuse me, Mr. Trungpa, but I don’t allow anyone, not even a holy guy like you, to dictate what meditation is and isn’t. Many other spiritual mentors I’ve enjoyed learning from say that meditation can also be a discipline to achieve ecstasy, spiritual bliss, and tranquility. And I suspect that’s what Virgo meditators should emphasize in the coming weeks. You people are in a phase when you can cultivate extraordinary encounters with all that fun stuff. If you’re not a meditator, now would be a good time to try it out. I recommend the books Meditation for Beginners by Jack Kornfield and How to Meditate by Pema Chödrön.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Comedian Fred Allen observed, “It is probably not love that makes the world go around, but rather those mutually supportive alliances through which

partners recognize their dependence on each other for the achievement of shared and private goals.” That’s an unromantic thing to say, isn’t it? Or maybe it isn’t. Maybe it’s very romantic, even enchanting, to exult in how our allies help us make our dreams come true—and how we help them make their dreams come true. In my astrological opinion, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to focus on the synergies and symbioses that empower you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “It’s never too late to have a happy childhood!” declare many self-help gurus. “It’s never too early to start channeling the wise elder who is already forming within you,” declare I. Oddly enough, both of these guiding principles will be useful for you to meditate on during the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re in an unusually good position to resurrect childlike wonder and curiosity. You’re also poised to draw stellar advice from the Future You who has learned many secrets that the Current You doesn’t know yet. Bonus: Your Inner Child and your Inner Elder could collaborate to create a marvelous breakthrough or two.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “A myriad of modest delights constitute happiness,” wrote poet Charles Baudelaire. That will be a reliable formula for you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. You may not harvest any glorious outbreaks of bliss, but you will be regularly visited by small enchantments, generous details, and useful tweaks. I hope you won’t miss or ignore some of these nurturing blessings because you’re fixated on the hope of making big leaps. Be grateful for modest delights.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I found out some fun facts about renowned Capricorn poet Robert Duncan (1919-1988), who was a Bohemian socialist and trailblazing gay activist. He was adopted by Theosophical parents who chose him because of his astrological makeup. They interpreted Robert’s dreams when he was a child. Later in life, he had an affair with actor Robert De Niro’s father, also named Robert, who was a famous abstract expressionist painter. Anyway, Capricorn, this is the kind of quirky and fascinating information I hope you’ll be on the lookout for. It’s time to seek high entertainment as you expedite your learning; to change your fate for the better as you gather interesting clues; to be voraciously curious as you attract stimulating influences that inspire you to be innovative.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I always strive, when I can, to spread sweetness and light,” said P.G. Wodehouse. “There have been several complaints about it.” I know what he means. During my own crusade to express crafty, discerning forms of optimism, I have enraged many people. They don’t like to be reminded that thousands of things go right every day. They would rather stew in their disgruntlement and cynicism, delusionally imagining that a dire perspective is the most intelligent and realistic stance. If you’re one of those types, Aquarius, I have bad news for you: The coming weeks will bring you invitations and opportunities to cultivate a more positive outlook. I don’t mean that you should ignore problems or stop trying to fix what needs correction. Simply notice everything that’s working well and providing you with what you need.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pastor and activist Charles Henry Parkhurst (1842-1933) said, “All great discoveries are made by people whose feelings run ahead of their thinking.” The approach worked well for him. In 1892, he discovered and exposed monumental corruption in the New York City government. His actions led to significant reforms of the local police and political organizations. In my astrological opinion, you should incorporate his view as you craft the next chapter of your life story. You may not yet have been able to fully conceive of your future prospects and labors of love, but your feelings can lead you to them. ∆
