Mountain biking for beginners

BY PETER JOHNSON

T THE CENTRAL COAST GUIDE TO EVERYTHING OUTSIDE

hinking about finally pulling the trigger on buying your first mountain bike? Wondering what the secret is to conquering the hills of San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, or Orcutt? Christie O’Hara, a longtime local rider and current president of Central Coast Concerned Mountain Bikers, has tips for those who are looking to get turned on to the sport.

Spring 2022

Bikes and gear

Shopping for a mountain bike can be overwhelming, but O’Hara’s advice is to keep it simple. Find a local bike shop to work with. From mom-and-pop shops like Foothill Cyclery in SLO, to chains like REI, “the sales people there are knowledgeable and can give you great advice, beginner tips, do a basic fit on the bike, any adjustments, and run through the bike with you,” O’Hara said. Front-wheel suspension is a must for any mountain bike, but many serious riders want suspension on both wheels: “SLO does have a lot more technical rock than most places, so you’re going to be more comfortable on a full-suspension bike,” O’Hara said. Entry-level bikes cost anywhere from $600

to $1,000-plus. As for accessory gear, you’ll need a quality helmet, gloves, sunglasses, a water bottle or hydration backpack, and repair tools for flat tires. And last but not least, attach a bell for the safety of those you’ll share the trail with.

Where to ride

O’Hara loves to ride at Montaña de Oro State Park south of Los Osos. One reason is the variety of trails and difficulty levels it has to offer— there’s something for everybody. O’Hara recommended the park’s 4.1-mile bluff trail for beginners who’re just getting a feel for their bike. “As they advance, they can go up Oats Peak, or Canyon View Trail, or Islay Creek. And as you get more advanced, there’s Hazard Peak and Barranca East Boundary,” she said. O’Hara also recommended Cerro Cabrillo near Morro Bay, the Pismo Preserve overlooking the Five Cities, Johnson Ranch in SLO, and the Orcutt trails near Santa Maria as safe and fun beginner options. They have gentle inclines, plenty of trail width, more dirt, and less rock.

How to ride

The art of shifting gears is one of the most important skills to learn in mountain biking. “You want to be in a gear that allows you to spin

freely. You don’t want to grind on the gears. You want a pretty high RPM [revolutions per minute],” O’Hara said. “In mountain biking, you’re shifting a lot more because the terrain varies so much as you go up-down, up-down, and over rocks, so gear choice is important and it’s something you just have to play around with and learn.” Another key consideration is where you shift your weight. “When you’re going downhill, get that weight back, feet level, and your butt off the saddle,” O’Hara said. “So when you’re hitting bumps you’re not getting jarred off the saddle.” Keeping your arms and body relaxed with “loose elbows” will generally help absorb the turbulence of riding a trail. As for braking, O’Hara recommends using the rear brake (on your right hand) over the front brake (left hand). The front brake is the “stronger” brake, but grabbing it too hard could send you over your handlebars. And speaking of falling, O’Hara suggested riding with a buddy when possible.

Getting better

The definition of “progress” in mountain biking depends on each rider’s goals and preferences. Is it your dream to bomb down the tallest mountain? Take in the

best views? Get the best workout? O’Hara said you should think these questions through. “If there’s a peak or a top of the mountain you want to get to, set a goal and make small steps on easier trails and eventually make it. With mountain biking, one thing I tell people is if they can’t do a certain section, stop and go back to do it again. Session that part until you can get it,” O’Hara said. “But that’s one thing I like about mountain biking: Sometimes you might not be able to get a certain section, but you can go back and do it again and you have an accomplished goal once you achieve that.”

Take care of your bike

A mountain bike is an investment that requires routine care and maintenance. O’Hara recommends you take your bike into a shop for a tune-up at least once a year, if not more if you’re riding it daily. Check your tire pressure and lube the chain regularly. “You don’t need to lube your chain every ride, but you want to make sure it doesn’t get too dry or squeaks,” O’Hara said. “Anytime you start a ride, you should always check your brakes and spin the wheels to make sure there’s no obstruction.”

he rumble of Highway 101 fades as I walk up and over the eastern hills of San Luis Obispo. It’s quiet but for the occasional groan of a cow or screech of a hawk. Through shaded oak groves and wildflower-dotted grassland, I hike alongside four others who have helped turn this longtime private ranch near the Cuesta Grade into the city of SLO’s newest “greenbelt” property, the Miossi Open Space. “It’s been a soft opening so far,” says city Sustainability and Natural Resources Director Bob Hill, who’s flanked by three park rangers in uniform. “Since we finished the trail and opened the gates, it’s been about a year, I’d say.” SLO purchased these 266 acres in late 2018 from the Miossis—a prominent local ranching family dating back to the early 20th century. This property is just a sliver of their ranch, which stretches westward to Cuesta Canyon Park near city limits. The city is currently working with the

Miossis on a conservation easement for the remainder of the ranch. “I’ve known Gabriel Miossi for I’d say 15 years,” Hill says. “When I came over to the city almost 10 years ago, he sort of walked into City Hall cold. We were originally talking about a conservation easement for the whole ranch. But I could see these trail connection opportunities from Poly Canyon to Old Stagecoach Road, and to West Cuesta Ridge.” It’s those trail connections that have outdoor enthusiasts most excited about the new acquisition. In just a few months, the city will start work on a trail that will link the Miossi Open Space to Poly Canyon—which will unlock miles upon miles of newly connected trails throughout the eastern hills. “In November, we secured a trail agreement with Cal Poly,” Hill explains. “That will dramatically improve the trail circulation network, not only for here but getting up to West Cuesta Ridge, Stenner Springs, and other locations as well.” TRAILS continued page 34

TRAILBLAZING

n an early morning in January, crows perched on tree stumps in Laguna Lake Park call to one another above the sprigs of fresh grass brought up by a recent rainstorm. Every few minutes, a clanging sound reverberates through the open space, echoing through the park, almost blending in with the crows’ call and response. SLO local Peter McBride’s getting some early morning disc golf practice in. His grip, stance, and windup change slightly with each stroke, a fluid motion of flying elbows and outreached fingertips that slice the disc through the air. His face hardens as the disc leaves his hand, whirring forward before, clang! The disc tickles the chains and drops into the basket below. McBride often finds himself in the quiet expanse of Laguna Lake Park, practicing the sport he’s played professionally since he was 16. But his love for disc golfing started long before. “In fifth grade P.E. we threw Frisbees at cones and learned what disc golf was,” McBride said in a phone interview. “So I convinced my mom to buy me a couple of discs. I went out with a couple of

my friends and played all summer. We were all super stoked. Then my friends stopped playing and I just kept on going.” By 13 years old, McBride started playing in some low-key local tournaments. At one, he got partnered in doubles with one of the better players and they ended up winning. “I won, like, 40 bucks or something,” McBride said with a laugh. “Of course, my mom paid for the entry fee, but she let me keep the money. I was kind of stoked, like, ‘Wow, I can come out and win a little bit of money, and have fun at the same time.’” Besides a few quirks, like the ability to play doubles, McBride DISC GOLF continued page 40

Local takes humanitarian team to Ukraine, needs donations

PHOTO COURTESY OF TETIANA BROWN

an Luis Obispo local Burke Bryant, founder of the Humanitarian Aid and Rescue Project (HARP), has spent the past decade traveling to war-torn or disaster-stricken countries, from Haiti to Afghanistan, providing emergency aid and rescue with a team of skilled military specialists and first responders. Now, Bryant and HARP have taken their mission to Ukraine, where a team of eight is currently coordinating with local organizations there to provide critical supplies, rescues and evacuations, and medical care to vulnerable Ukrainian civilians. “They’re transporting Ukrainians out of harm’s way to safety, and risking their own lives every day and night,” said Kenny Gazin, a close friend of Bryant’s and HARP volunteer based in SLO. Since HARP entered Ukraine via Poland around March 3, it has traveled across the country on different missions. It started in Ukraine’s southern region, coordinating evacuations of children out of the country. “We’re working in tandem with another organization that’s basically feeding us locations, and we go in there and we do extractions and pass people off to handlers who get them across the border,” Bryant said in a pre-recorded voice memo to New Times. By March 9, HARP had entered Kyiv— Ukraine’s capital—where it came to the aid of an orphanage recently hit by a Russian attack. Tetiana Brown—a Los Osos resident, Ukraine native, and Bryant’s girlfriend—said she’s speaking with Ukrainians on the ground to try to help HARP coordinate its response. Before talking with New Times, Brown had recently gotten off the phone with the orphanage’s director. “She’s desperate for help. They have nothing right now,” Brown said. “They [HARP] will be helping those kids with food, clothes, and diapers. It’s children who are 1 month old to 4 years old. They are heading that way.” Originally from Pryluky, Ukraine, a city east of Kyiv, Brown said she’s lived in SLO County

for the past 11 years. Since the invasion, Brown has been in constant touch with her family back home. “My town is still safe but everything is closed and people are in their homes,” she said. “My cousin is in a bomb shelter right now because she lives in Kyiv, and it’s just scary.” Brown said that she’s really proud of Bryant and the HARP team for the work they’re doing, and noted that they are all highly trained, qualified, and prepared. Bryant is a former Navy member, and his HARP team includes two military surgeons. HARP’s website states that its members are trained in combat search and rescue, exfiltration, swift water rescue, and combat medical and logistics. “I support him 100 percent. It’s not for everyone—not everyone can do that—but I know it’s in his blood,” Brown DISASTER AID Burke Bryant, local founder of the Humanitarian Aid said. “Right now, I’m sitting and Rescue Project (HARP), takes trained rescue teams around the here very anxious and, in a world to help countries in crisis. way, jealous that I can’t be there.” Brown said that she’s appreciated the In order to continue with its work, HARP outpouring of support she’s received from the needs money and resources—which is where SLO County community as a local Ukrainian.

Gazin hopes that Americans everywhere take “We really need to get the word out, primarily note of Ukrainians’ show of unity and fight. “All of us should be changed forever watching to let them be able to stay.

Addis captures California Democratic Party endorsement, leads fundraising

For the Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2021, reporting period, according to Cal-Access, Addis raised $56,539 from more than 200 individual contributors. Her contributions range from $25 to $4,900, the maximum an individual can give to a state Senate or Assembly race in California. In the same reporting period, Wizard raised $72,577, which includes a $50,000 loan he made to himself. The remaining $22,577 came from 50 individual contributions ranging from $100 to $4,147. Wizard also reported a $9,700 contribution on Feb. 24 this year from the California State Council of Service Employees Small Contributor Committee, the maximum amount a candidate can receive from this type of group. Republican candidate Vicki Nohrden of Monterey County didn’t report any campaign contributions for the 2021 reporting period, and neither did Democrat Zoë Carter. Seaside City Councilmember Alexis García-Arrazola raised $100, but has since withdrawn from

With freshly drawn boundary lines bringing Monterey, San Luis Obispo, and Northern Santa Barbara counties into the same Assembly district for the first time, candidates running for the 30th District have a big task ahead of them: getting to know voters who may have never heard their names before. “I’ve been canvassing in SLO County, knocking on doors and talking to voters,” said Jon Wizard, 30th District candidate and current Seaside City Council member (in Monterey County). “There’s a lot of ground to cover in this new district. … The old AD 35 was a very different district than the new AD 30.” Wizard and Morro Bay City Councilmember Dawn Addis, both Democrats, are leading the pack right now as far as campaign contributions go.

the raise and endorsed Addis. Democrat John Drake, who unsuccessfully ran to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom in the 2021 recall election, has also joined the race but hasn’t reported any campaign contributions yet. Once the April 28 campaign contribution reporting deadline passes, contributions will be updated, and the March 11 candidate filing deadline may reveal additional candidates in an already crowded race. “I’m a teacher, not a millionaire, so I have to rely on the support of local residents to fund my campaign, and I think that’s a good thing,” Addis told New Times in an email. “I am not interested in financial support from Big Tobacco, gun manufacturers or advocates, oil companies, or any organization that undermines the health and well-being of the Central Coast.” Wizard said he won’t be taking any money from the fossil fuel industry. “You have to raise a lot of money to be NEWS continued page 6

competitive, unfortunately that’s the nature of the beast,” he said. “You have to calculate what it costs to talk to each voter.” Endorsements are another important way to capture voters’ trust and attention, and both Democratic frontrunners have racked up some big names. “I’m incredibly honored to have the endorsement of the California Democratic Party,” Addis said. “The momentum is exciting.” Wizard said he’s proud to be endorsed by the California Legislative Black Caucus and the Cal Poly Democrats. Nohrden, the lone Republican in the race so far, has the support of the Republican Party of SLO County. —Malea Martin

AG changes City Council election cycle and chooses new districts

Arroyo Grande City Council districts will look very different starting with the 2022 election if the map council members recently voted on gets officially adopted. “The most important issue is making it easy for our residents to understand where they’re going to elect them [council members] from, and those that are going to elect them: Where are they living, and who are they voting for?” Councilmember Keith Storton said at the March 8 meeting. The City Council chose a modified version of the map called Plan 202. They favored it because it kept the Arroyo Grande Village intact, featured the Highway 101 “corridor” as a “really good delineator,” and had easily identifiable boundaries overall. Unlike its neighboring city of Grover Beach, Arroyo Grande selected a map that was originally submitted by a member of the public. Both cities had to throw out the majority of draft maps because of delays with release of the official census data. Many community members drew draft maps based on estimated data, which significantly varied from the official numbers and made most of their submissions ineligible. The National Demographics Corporation (NDC), the agency that assisted both cities with the districting process, devised its own set of draft maps using census data and preferences of the public. Using additional input from Arroyo Grande City Council members in February, NDC incorporated changes

to Plan 202, which community members had plotted using a mapping tool called DistrictR. The City Council further edited the map at the March meeting. But this time, council members focused on the proposed election sequence rather than district boundaries. Arroyo Grande City Clerk Jessica Matson told New Times that based on the proposed districts, Councilmembers Lan George and Jimmy Paulding live in District 1. Councilmembers Storton and Kristen Barneich live in District 2. Although Mayor Caren Ray Russom’s seat would remain at-large, she lives in District 2 as well. Originally, Districts 1 and 3 would vote on council members in 2022, and Districts 2 and 4 would vote in 2024. But Matson explained that the City Council had other plans. “Council agreed to have Districts 1 and 4 go up for election in November 2022, and District 2 and 3 in 2024. Council expressed concerns with both 3 and 4 going up in 2022 due to the short timeframe for possible candidates in those districts to make a decision to run,” Matson said. “Council also commented on the demographics in Districts 3 and statistics showing that Latinx populations are more likely to participate in presidential elections. The next one [presidential election] is in 2024, so they expressed support for having District 3 go in 2024 for possible higher voter turnout.” Plan 202 passed in a 4-1 vote, with Russom dissenting in favor of Plan 903. Members of the public can voice their opinions at the ordinance introduction on March 22 and at the ordinance hearing on April 12, where the selected blueprint will be adopted.

On March 4, the Los Osos Community Services District (CSD) received a San Luis Obispo County permit to start work on a new municipal well project—which will replace an old CSD well closer to the ocean, which experts say is contributing to, and being impacted by, seawater intrusion.

“This is a very important well,” Los Osos CSD General Manager Ron Munds said. “It’s a critical piece of the basin plan—to move pumping from the west side of the basin to the central and eastern portion. The movement is important because if we continue to pump from the west side, we’ll be sucking in seawater.” As Munds alluded to, the new well is one of three envisioned in a courtapproved Los Osos basin sustainability plan. Golden State Water, another Los Osos water purveyor, has already completed the first well in the plan. The CSD is responsible for this one, Munds said. The proposed well will be located at 1300 Bay Oaks Drive, off Los Osos Valley Road near the Ralphs shopping center. It will be drilled 7,000 feet into the ground and tap into the basin’s lower aquifer. Its goal is to try to slow seawater intrusion. Munds said the well project will take about two years to complete from start to finish, as the CSD not only has to drill the well, but lay 3,200 feet of pipeline to connect it to the water distribution system. “Anytime you do a project like this it just takes time,” Munds said. “Where we go from here is to go out to bid for the actual drilling.” Fortunately for CSD ratepayers, the district just received a $1.5 million grant from the California Department of Water Resources for the project. That will cover most of its estimated $2.1 million cost. “It’s a huge relief for us actually,” Munds said. Since the project is located in the coastal zone, the CSD must wait two weeks to move forward pending a potential appeal of the permit to the Coastal Commission. “Once it passes that, then it’s a green light,” Munds said. —Peter Johnson

School mask mandate to lift after March 11 Beginning March 14, school teachers across the state of California may see something new: The bottom half of their students’ faces. The California Department of Public Health announced on Feb. 28 that effective after March 11, masks are no longer required indoors in schools and child care centers. But some districts already took the issue into their own hands. Paso Robles

Joint Unified School District’s (PRJUSD) Board of Trustees passed a resolution on Feb. 22 to make mask wearing optional in defiance of California state mandates. The board’s decision came on the heels of a student-led protest at Paso Robles High School, where about 50 students came to campus unmasked. “The students who were involved in that protest, many are in my government classes,” social science teacher Geoffrey Land told New Times. “I think the students were able to kind of catalyze that frustration and anger and turn it into nonviolent action when they did their civil disobedience action. … They approached it in a way that was peaceful and didn’t disrupt learning.” Since the board’s resolution passed, Land has personally continued to wear a mask in his classroom. He plans to take it off next week once the state mandate is lifted. “I don’t have any concerns about family members in my household. Everyone in my house is vaccinated and boosted,” Land said. “But I will talk to my students about it and make sure they feel comfortable with me doing it.” The day after the resolution passed, Land said about half of his students had their masks off in most of his classes. But in his ethnic studies class, Land noted that a strong majority of students remained masked. “Many of the people who were advocating for the mask-optional policy are white, and many students expressing concern about their families are people of color,” Land said. “I think that reflects the disproportionate cost and burden that the pandemic has placed on the families and lives of our students of color.” After the resolution passed, some Paso teachers filed a grievance on Feb. 24 under the terms of their union’s collective bargaining agreement. “Multiple certificated employees have reported unsafe and unhealthy conditions to PRPE [Paso Robles Public Educators] because of the PRJUSD school board resolution,” the grievance states. “Our members request an explanation of how allowing unvaccinated individuals without masks inside PRJUSD buildings afford[s] them safe conditions and furthermore how the refusal to test asymptomatic individuals in school settings afford[s] them safe conditions.” PRPE Executive Director Jim Lynett told New Times on March 8 that the district had until March 10 to respond, NEWS continued page 7

“and we have received no response so far.” From the district administration’s perspective, a main concern about lifting the mask mandate early was legal liability, which was why staff recommended against passing the resolution. The district’s insurance company warned that breaking California’s public health mandates could jeopardize coverage. Superintendent Curt Dubost said once the state’s mandate is lifted March 11, “while I can’t guarantee that we don’t have any vulnerability, I think it would be lessened significantly.” But, he continued, “more worrisome to me is some students and staff members concluding that if a district can choose to obey some laws and not others, where does that stop?” Paso’s school board remains alone among SLO County districts in its defiance of California mandates. San Luis Coastal and Lucia Mar unified school districts will both follow state law and become mask-optional after March 11, Lucia Mar school board member Colleen Martin said. Templeton Unified School District voted to do the same at a March 1 meeting. Despite the community being passionately divided on the subject, Paso teacher Land said the transition to maskoptional has been smooth so far. “Those who are still wearing masks I think are feeling comfortable doing so, and I don’t see any of the bullying or teasing or tensions that the board was

afraid of,” he said. “There’s no judgment. It’s almost like it’s the color of shirt someone is wearing. No one bats an eye.” —Malea Martin

South County water treatment project gets go-ahead

Central Coast Blue received the signal for construction kick-off, with Pismo Beach approving its share of the project’s $55 million cost. The City Council’s unanimous agreement on March 1 completed the trio of endorsements needed to move forward with the water treatment plan. Earlier this year, Grover Beach and Arroyo Grande—Pismo Beach’s partner cities— greenlit the cost-sharing plan. Since Pismo Beach is the lead agency in Central Coast Blue, it will foot the majority of the bill at 39 percent or $20.4 million. The beach city will also cover 39 percent of the almost $4 million annual debt service and operational maintenance cost that’s projected over the next 30 years. Like its two counterparts, the Pismo Beach City Council authorized its city manager to apply for a low-interest loan from the State Water Resources Control Board that would be paid back through the city’s net water and wastewater revenues. But there are some perks to shouldering the bulk of Central Coast Blue’s cost. Pismo Beach would own 39 percent of the 1,000 acre-feet of water injected into the

News BY PETER JOHNSON PHOTOS COURTESY OF SLAVA NAROZHNYI

At war from afar For one local Ukrainian, watching Russia invade his country from SLO is ‘the hardest thing I’ve faced in my life’

ach morning when he wakes up, San Luis Obispo resident Slava Narozhnyi anxiously grabs his phone, loads the news, and texts his friends and family in Ukraine—praying that they’ve survived another day. Narozhnyi’s hometown of Kharkiv, Ukraine, is one of the hardest hit regions of Russia’s recent invasion. Since the war started, bombs and artillery have relentlessly rained on the eastern city of 2 million people, destroying everything from its historic downtown to its residential neighborhoods, Narozhnyi said. “It’s a real nightmare out there. … Every day I think it’s the worst day ever, and the next day, it’s even worse,” the local photographer and videographer said. “I have friends I keep in touch with every day, and I can hear the fear in their voices. My friends say they go to the bomb shelter, and they don’t know if they’ll see the next day.” For Narozhnyi, who’s 27, waking up in sunny, peaceful SLO, and not in Kharkiv, where he could help defend his city, is gut-wrenching. At home, his father is on the front lines of battle, enlisting in the city’s territorial guard “on the first day” of the war. He also has his mother, uncles, aunts, and many other extended family members in Kharkiv. “It’s hard just to be so far away. It’s the hardest thing I’ve faced in my life,” Narozhnyi said. “They’re all patriots. I’m so proud of my country, of the military, and all the heroism of Ukrainians right now.” Desperate to help from afar, Narozhnyi recently started a GoFundMe page to raise money for his family, and others in Kharkiv, who are struggling to get basic supplies like food and water. Russian military forces have all but surrounded the city and destroyed many of its roads and bridges, he said, making evacuations and aid missions extremely difficult. “It’s so dangerous just because they [the Russians] shoot the cars—they don’t care if it’s civilians or army,” he said. “It’s

50/50; some people can escape it and some people can’t. It’s not safe anywhere.” While Narozhnyi is thousands of miles away from the war today, he is no stranger to Ukraine’s historic fight with Russia for self-governance. In 2014, when he was 20 years old and living in Kharkiv, Narozhnyi participated in the revolution that successfully toppled an unpopular president with close ties to Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin. Putin responded, he said, by annexing Crimea. “The whole history of Ukraine, we’ve always been under pressure from Russia. People are fed up,” Narozhnyi explained. “They [Russia] don’t let us go. That’s why it all started, because they don’t let us join the European Union. They can’t let Ukraine go.” During the uprising in 2014, millions of Ukrainians hit the streets to demand change. Dozens were killed in protests, including one of Narozhnyi’s friends, who he said was shot in the back right next to him. “At that time, our president was pissed off about it, so he threw the whole military on the civilians and just started a fight,” he remembered. “The next day, even more Ukrainians came out to protect their friends, their freedom, and their rights.” Soon after the revolution, when he was 21, Narozhnyi moved to the U.S. as an exchange student. He wound up in SLO, where he decided to stay to pursue his passion for photography and visual arts. When Narozhnyi is not shooting local commercials, markets, events, and outdoor sports, you can find him surfing, climbing, and mountain biking around SLO County. Narozhnyi told New Times that he appreciates the outpouring of support from Americans for Ukraine but hopes that the war is also a wake-up call to the U.S. that “freedom isn’t free” and war could soon be at our doorstep. “Lots of people think if the war’s far

COSTLY COMMUTE Even though students with less than $100 in outstanding account balances are eligible for Cuesta College gas cards, J.P. Flores said he had to pay off his $40 outstanding fine and purchase a parking permit for another $40 before he could get one.

onstruction technology major J.P. Flores’ daily drive to Cuesta College from Cambria costs him roughly $20 a day for gas. Luckily, the school was offering gas cards worth $300, and Flores thought help was on the way. But first he had to power through some unexpected swerves. “I was denied a gas card because I owed $40 to the school and was told I had to pay my fines to Cuesta in order to benefit from aid,” Flores said. “While I was standing in line to receive my gas card, after paying the school fines, I saw many students are being denied these gas cards, which are paid for with the HEERFs.” HEERFs are Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds—an American Rescue Plan-authorized law that funneled almost $40 billion to assist struggling college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. HEERFs were activated in March 2021, and numerous higher education institutions benefited from the funding boost. One such institution is Cuesta College. According to Cuesta Public Information Officer Ritchie Bermudez, the college received almost $27.9 million in HEERF money. That amount was split into two categories: the U.S. Department of Education required $10.8 million to be used for student financial assistance, and the remaining $17.1 million was to be used for institutional support. Cuesta’s gas card program, among others, is funded using the institutional support allocation. “The college has chosen to dedicate some institutional [support] funds to further enhance student financial assistance. For example, the college has provided free meals to students throughout the 2021-22 academic year,” Bermudez told New Times. About $1.4 million of the $17 million that makes up “institutional support” is a minority-serving institution grant because of Cuesta’s status as a Hispanicserving institution. Flores said that in spite of such branding, students from lowincome and minority groups, like himself, feel that they’ve gotten shortchanged. “Our school is given special consideration … so you’re [Cuesta] using that money as leverage to make students pay their fines, and that’s not OK,” he said. Though Flores eventually received his gas card, he said he was still made to pay his $40 outstanding fine even though the college’s website said that students with an account balance under $100 are eligible. He added that paying fines isn’t the only requirement impeding access to emergency aid. To get the gas cards,

Commentary

BY SUSAN SALCIDO

A new chapter As the pandemic turns a corner, schools prepare for the next evolution of COVID-19

wo years have passed since COVID-19 forced schools around the world to close their doors, a tectonic shift in daily life with effects still unfolding. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a pandemic. By Friday, March 13, many schools here and beyond announced that campuses would cease in-person instruction and move to distance learning to help stop the spread of the virus. The decision catapulted our school leaders, teachers, and staff into a logistical maze as they scrambled to convert a 200-year-old American education system into an online model in a matter of days. By March 28, 2020, nearly all U.S. public school buildings were closed, and almost all would remain closed for many months thereafter, affecting at least 55.1 million students in 124,000 U.S. public and private schools. Amid the closures, schools dove into problem-solving mode: How to ensure every home had computer devices, adequate Internet access, and appropriate space for remote learning? How to redesign curriculum and instruction for Zoom school? How to connect students to meals? What about child care? Preschools? After-school care? Access to counselors? Special education support services? What about sports, art, physical education, theatrical productions, field trips, upcoming dances, graduations? And that was just the beginning. In the days, weeks, months, and now two years that followed, school communities navigated a state of constant flux and entanglements requiring immediate solutions. The journey exposed vulnerabilities in almost every corner of the system while also bringing to light what those of us in education have long known: Schools are responsible for far more than academics alone. They are relied upon as sources of information and familial support. They provide a place of community, belonging, and consistency. They connect children to other trusted adults who care about their wellbeing, safety, and future. They nurture children’s emotional, social, physical, and intellectual development, and introduce them to life experiences different from their own. The drastic shift in availability of these supports was confounding. As we moved through the first stages of the pandemic, concerns quickly emerged about inequities, gaps, and disproportionate impacts on students. Concerns also soon surfaced about student and teacher morale, learning progress and growth, and a new term: “pandemic fatigue.” Then came “Zoom

fatigue,” “device fatigue,” “decision fatigue,” “mask fatigue,” and even “compassion fatigue.” By fall of 2020, due to health and safety restrictions including requiring 6 feet of distance between students at desks and on buses, campuses began the year with varying degrees of “openness.” Given the social-distancing mandates and space availability, some opened for only small groups of students, while others offered hybrid schedules or even full reopening. In early December 2020, as the virus continued to surge and COVID-19 cases placed a strain on hospital ICU units, Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered a statewide stay-at-home order that pushed us into the next chapter of a book still being written. After more than a year of dizzying changes and inconsistencies, by fall of 2021, all of Santa Barbara County’s public school campuses were open to in-person instruction. School communities rejoiced at being back on campus and vowed to keep their doors open to the fullest extent possible. Oh, the joy … playgrounds full of ebullient laughter, science labs energetically testing students’ hypotheses, performing arts on stage and in motion, athletic competitions back in full swing! Today, we find ourselves facing a new set of blended realities: relieved to see COVID-19 cases decreasing, and yet concerned about an increasing need to support individuals who feel loss, disappointment, fatigue, isolation, and depression. We are excited about moving on, while also stopping to listen carefully to impassioned voices who have had enough and need more; grateful for how far we have come, and worried about how easily progress could be undone. With two years behind us, public health officials are now guiding us around a new corner, one that includes understanding that this virus will be part of daily life. So, our COVID-19 story continues. As individuals, I’m certain that we will find ourselves moving forward at varying speeds and in many directions. In schools, we will continue to work triple-time to meet the needs of those who rely on us. And once this chapter has long ended, I hope we will find that this pandemic did not just merely occur, marked by dates or events, but that it helped forge a stronger and more resilient path for today’s children and for generations to come. ∆

Stop digging W ill Rogers once said, “If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” These are words that the gun control movement might want to take to heart. One of the great political ironies is the fact that, the more that the anti-gun forces try to restrict or eliminate gun rights, the more that they force the courts to confront the language of the Second Amendment, and to expressly define these rights to strike down restrictions. The biggest obstacle that the anti-gun forces have is the fact that the language of the Second Amendment declaring that the “right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” is direct, unambiguous, and absolute. The claim that it merely authorizes a militia is just a desperate bit of sophistry. The “militia” argument ignores the fact that, at the time the Constitution was written, a “militia” was an ad hoc assembly of citizens into a military force, which necessitated private gun ownership since there were no publicly maintained armories and every citizen was expected to furnish their own weapon. Ironically, the ruling in the 1939 Miller case, which is often cited in support of the militia interpretation, referred to the militia language to find that possession of a sawed-off shot gun was not protected since it is not the sort of weapon that the military would use, and thus implied that the military-style assault rifles that liberals so abhor are protected. Historically, the Supreme Court of the United States has preferred to ignore the Second Amendment, and by the absence of any express holdings on the extent of the right, allowed government some space in which to craft laws that were widely accepted as sensible regulation of gun ownership. For example, background checks, the prohibition on the ability of felons and maniacs to buy guns, age requirements, and restricting machine guns and artillery are limitations that most people approve of. But as the antigun people have pushed harder and harder to eliminate or severely restrict all gun ownership, the court has been forced to act, and the outcome has not been to the liking of anti-gun liberals. The current expression of Second Amendment rights began with the Heller case in 2008, striking down a law in which the District of Columbia had attempted to effectively outlaw the private ownership of handguns. In Heller, SCOTUS for the first time expressly delineated a private right to gun ownership by citizens, rejecting the “militia” argument. Later cases extended the ruling to the states. In the current case under consideration by SCOTUS, a New York law restricting the issuance of concealed carry permits to only those persons who can convince the government that they have a special need to carry a gun in public, is being challenged. In application, this law has been used to deny permits to almost everyone who applied. My prediction: The court will rule that concealed carry permits must be issued unless the government can delineate specific and reasonable grounds why the application shouldn’t be granted. Reasonable training

and competency requirements may be required, but arbitrary rejection of an application will be prohibited. Most of us, including the conservative justices, don’t want to live in a “Wild West” environment in which most of the public is armed. Most of us can think of people who, although nominally qualified, should not be carrying a gun due to temperament or poor judgment. But the Second Amendment says what it says, and the justices are bound to observe the terms of the Constitution, and not just implement their own policy preferences. Legislative overreach pandering to the anti-gun people may force the court to act to reach a conclusion that they would have preferred to avoid. The liberal agenda has also encouraged the proliferation of guns in other regards. The last couple of years have seen gun sales skyrocket as more of the public, including increasing numbers of women and minorities, purchased guns for self-protection against crime and civil disorder. The increase in violent crime, the rioting which the left has cheered, together with “catch and release” justice, and acts like the effective decriminalization of “minor” crimes like auto burglary and shoplifting, has frightened the public and made them feel vulnerable. Proposals to defund or abolish the police have convinced many that they must defend themselves. The more lawless our society becomes, the more the demand for guns will grow. My advice? Instead of indulging your emotional loathing of guns and forcing the court into making decisions you won’t like, you might instead try working to increase public safety to reduce the demand for self-protection. Abandoning the war on the police, the campaign to free criminals, and your cheerleading for “good” rioting, would be a start. You’ll have to make a choice: Actually act to reduce the number of guns, or just engage in empty political gestures to show how much you care. Try to “stop digging” now. ∆ John Donegan is a retired attorney in Pismo Beach who is not quick enough on the draw to survive for long in the Brave New World the Democrats are creating.

Unsettling settlements

he cost of attending Cal Poly is similar to purchasing half a condo—not in SLO County, of course, but somewhere else. According to Cal Poly, an in-state undergraduate student attending the California State University for one year will spend about $30,000, which includes room, board, books, and tuition. Sounds like a down payment! Four years of school costs $120,000— and, hopefully, that’s when you graduate with that bachelor’s degree. Or, you could live with your parents and save $10,000 a year. Doesn’t that sound exciting! Whichever option you choose, Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong just announced that the cost of attending school is about to increase. And there’s nothing anyone can do about it. It’s his decision to make, apparently. Because the increase is targeted at “fees” not “tuition,” nobody but the head cheese needs to approve it. So he’s just strong-arming all of the university’s potential new students into coughing up $600 to $800 more every year for the next four years just to “learn by doing.” By 2025, incoming freshmen students will be paying between $3,600 and $4,600 per year in their “College Based Fee,” which is between $648 and $1,044 this academic year, according to Mustang News. By 2025, the cost of attending Cal Poly will have increased to about $33,000 per year. But tuition and fees will only be between $13,000 and $14,000. And I’ll bet housing and food will also increase in cost! Super affordable!

Don’t worry though, this super affordable bachelor’s degree “fee” increase will help lower and middleincome students attend the country’s largest public university system’s most expensive school, Armstrong promised. “Initially, we plan to use 60 percent of the additional revenue to increase financial aid. This will be adjusted on an annual basis,” Armstrong said in a video he released explaining the reason for the increase. What does he mean by “adjusted”? Does he get to pick what to do with the funds? Maybe it will go to financial aid and maybe it won’t? Maybe Cal Poly students can take a page out of the Paso Robles High School students-against-masking playbook and stage a civil disobedience that gets results! They didn’t wear masks to school and the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District responded by awarding them a get-out-of-masks card two weeks before the state is repealing its masks in schools mandate! Wow. So cool. Paso social studies teacher Geoffrey Land, who opted to continue wearing his mask in compliance with state law, said he was proud of his students for engaging in peaceful, nondisruptive civil action. And I can dig it. Maybe their screaming parents could learn a thing or two from them.

Of course, the biggest difference between President of Student Affairs Frank Cal Poly and Paso High, besides the Lamas get away with sexually harassing obvious, is that one is a choice. Students and bullying his employees and others can choose not to attend Cal Poly. And it during his time at Fresno. Despite Castro’s seems like that’s already a problem, which apparent knowledge of at least seven of the is why Armstrong insisted the university 12 complaints filed against Lamas, Castro needs to increase its fees—so that more recommended Lamas for an achievement students who need financial aid can afford award and somehow finagled a deal with to attend his school!

Moonshiner Collective releases their new EP, Galactic Sailors, at SLO Brew Rock

oonshiner Collective frontman Dan Curcio has a super soulful voice—distinctive but with hints of Ben Harper and Dave Matthews. He’s also a whopping good songwriter. “Autumness” from 2013 still lights my fire every time I hear it on the radio. I’m always eager to hear his newest, and the three-song EP Galactic Sailors does not disappoint. It’s the first installment of three EPs that will combine to form the next Moonshiner Collective full-length album. This Saturday, March 12, the band will play an EP release party at SLO Brew Rock (7 p.m.; all ages; $15 plus fees presale at ticketweb.com or $20 day of show). “We’re gonna do an ‘unplugged’ style set with more intimate songs and then an ‘electric’ set with our full band electric approach,” Curcio explained. “We’re really excited for this format to be able to properly showcase the different sides of who we are.” The first EP installment is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal, iTunes, and Pandora, with “the next two releases to happen over the next five months or so,” Curcio continued. “These new songs explore our relationship to the metaphysical and reincarnation, our need to disconnect from the information overload that life tends to throw at us, and our desire to be and feel seen and appreciated by others. “We recorded these songs at our home studio, When It Hits Records, with Tyson Leonard (Alan Parsons Project, TROPO) handling the engineering and mastering. ‘Start Again’ and ‘Lose Our Minds’ were both recorded live in the room together, and Gary Wooten—on eight-string hybrid bass guitar—played these tasteful basslines and guitar parts simultaneously as he always does live. If you listen to the quality of each part and realize that’s one guy doing both at the same time, I think it’s absolutely mind-blowing and worth the price of admission alone.” In addition to Wooton and Curcio (vocals, guitar, piano), the band also includes Ryan House on drums and percussion, and Leonard on violin and mandolin. “The overall caliber of this lineup both musically and personalities is something I’ve been working toward my entire career, and even after all these many years of insane amounts of work, it truly feels like it was all for what we have now. We’re just getting started,” Curcio added. If you want to go, buy tickets now. As Curcio noted, “We’ve sold out eight shows in the nine months since we’ve been back at it, so make sure to buy tickets in advance if you can. We’re putting in the

work to make this our best show yet.” Also at SLO Brew Rock this week, check out retroindie-soul act The Altons on Friday, March 11 (7 p.m.; 18-and-over; $18 plus fees presale at ticketweb.com or $22 day of show). Emerging from the fertile LA soul scene, the band captured the attention of Daptone Records co-founder Gabe Roth, who signed the band to Penrose Records, a subsidiary label to Daptone.

Our cup runneth over The pandemic yields musical gems

he pandemic was a disaster for musicians, venues, and music fans, but the downtime allowed for a lot of creative woodshedding, and now all those lonely hermit-like hours of contemplation and practice are coming to fruition in the form of a lot of really great locally produced music. Find below a few recently released full-length albums and EPs.

Wally Barnick, New Road Wally Barnick is best known as the bassist and IMAGE COURTESY OF vocalist for the famed urban bluegrass act WALLY BARNICK Cache Valley Drifters, but that’s never stopped him from sitting in to play with others any and every chance he gets. On his third solo album, New Road, he’s backed by a who’s who of musicians on a collection of a dozen songs— some originals, some well-known covers, and some obscure deep cuts. The Americana collection touches on several genres—blues, folk, Irish, country, gospel—and features amazing female backing vocalists by Lois Mahalia and Shawn Thies. The musicianship is superb, and Barnick’s voice is smooth and warm. It’s a beautiful-sounding album with ultra-high production values and slick packaging, and you can buy it in CD form directly from the artist on his website, wallybarnickmusic.com.

Bob and Wendy, Fault Line

Music PHOTO COURTESY OF KATE CHAPPELL

Katie Chappell, self-titled

Country-esque folk-rock singer-songwriter Katie Chappell recently released a four-song EP on Spotify and other streaming platforms. “I recently planted my roots here on the Central Coast,” she said. “After a few years of playing local wineries and breweries, I was finally able to save up enough money to create an EP that I am truly proud of.” She should be proud. These are great songs. I especially like the driving sound of “I Think I Do,” though “Bang the Drum” is also super hooky. Chappell’s got a lilting voice and a fair bit of swagger, and after listening to her music, she’s on my list to see live. Catch her this week at Paso’s Cal Coast Beer on Sunday, March 13, from 2 to 4 p.m. She’s on Instagram @katiebirdchappell.

Phil Lee, Phil Lee & other old time favorites

Is Phil Lee the greatest knife-throwing, Rip Van Winkle-bearded, selfdeprecating dapper-dandy amateur lothario singerIMAGE COURTESY OF songwriter to ever walk the land? The answer PHIL LEE is yes, yes he is. On his seventh album, Phil Lee & other old time favorites, he also proves once again that he writes ingeniously funny original songs and knows how to mine the rich public domain quarry for traditionals, such as “The Devil and the Farmer’s Wife” and “Just a Closer Walk We Thee.” He also sings with impish bonhomie and knows how to surround himself with terrific players, in this case producer, multiinstrumentalist, and backup singer David West (dobro, mandolin, bass, guitar, lap steel, piano). This simply amazing 10-track Americana romp is available at philleeone.bandcamp.com.

The Taproots, Tales of Wonderland

Husband-and-wife duo Bob and Wendy IMAGE COURTESY OF BOB AND WENDY Liepman have created a true pandemic record. They released its eight tracks as singles over the course of eight months, finally packaging the collection into the Fault Line CD, available on their website, bobwendy.com. Their songs and albums are also available on more than 150 streaming services. Wendy, who plays her mother’s 1944 Martin guitar, writes the songs, and she’s absolutely brilliant, creating emotionally deep and often personal lyrics that speak to loss, hope, and perseverance. Bob’s soulful cello is always a welcome addition, and the duo added in percussionist Paul Griffith as well as producer and musician Damon Castillo on bass, mellotron, and guitar. These are wonderful songs, and Wendy’s soaring voice brings them to life.

The Taproots are an Americana/rock duo featuring Tom Walters and Nicole Cassingham, a pair that favors narrative songs, a blend of jazz and folk influences, and beautiful vocal IMAGE COURTESY OF harmonies. On their debut album, Tales of THE TAPROOTS Wonderland, they’ve got a full band behind them, and on tracks like “Big Fat Love,” the music really cooks. They also have some stunning ballads, such as “Haarlem,” where their intertwining voices are stirring. In fact, each of the 14 tracks are terrific—an amazing debut! They also recently released a very cool video for the lead album track “California Life,” available on YouTube at youtube.com/ watch?v=LkYgM7gw2I8. Visit their website for more info and to learn about upcoming shows: taprootsmusic.com.

Eric Brittain, 1 Legged Chicken

John Wessel, best known as a member of local bar band Shameless, is a hell of a bassist, saxophonist, keyboardist, rock IMAGE COURTESY OF flutist, and gritty singer—and pandemic or JOHN WESSEL not, he seems to put out a new record almost every year. This time around, it’s She Was the Devil in Disguise, his seven-song rocker that kicks off with the title track that’s just killer! The chorus is a total earworm, and the lyrics are a rock star’s dream of a groupie who picks up a musician after his show, takes him home, and steals his soul. Wessel is steeped in the traditions of classic rock, and his original songs are frequently narrative in nature. This album also includes a fun cover of “Piña Colada” that Wessel really makes his own. You can find this and Wessel’s other albums on rhombus-records.com. ∆

Eric Brittain is a master musician. If it’s got strings, he can shred on it. His new album, 1 Legged Chicken, is 100 IMAGE COURTESY OF percent Brittain—he composed all the songs ERIC BRITTAIN and played every instrument you hear, and though he’s got a fine voice, these 18 songs are all instrumentals. The joy is in the complexity of the compositions. He layers in guitar tracks, adds subtle percussion, and mixes a variety of styles and musical genres. For guitar fans, it’s pure ear candy to hear this virtuoso’s fingers dance over the frets and play among the strings. You can hear clips of all 18 songs on ericbrittain.hearnow. com, and you can buy and download it on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon, Pandora, and Deezer. Prepare to have your mind blown.

Glen Relentlessly dark, overlong by about an hour, and gothic as Hades, this new Batman flick still manages to offer a potent payoff with some cracking good cinematography and set design along the way. Pattinson plays Bruce Wayne in full emo mode—his black hair shrouding his eyes, brows furrowed, mouth set to grimace. Only about 30 years old, he’s new to crime fighting, and he questions whether he’s having an effect, knowing Gotham is a big town and he can’t be everywhere at once. When The Riddler begins taking out politicians, leaving behind thorny clues to be deciphered, Batman starts to unravel conspiracy and corruption at Gotham’s highest levels. And just to add to his angst, his revered father may too have been involved in some way. Dano’s The Riddler is a physically weak, pasty type, with an inflated ego. His weapon is his brain, and he likes to invent diabolical devices to exterminate his prey. He considers Batman more of a friend than a foe— after all, they’re both after justice. Then there’s Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, who has her own agenda against the criminal underworld, especially reclusive kingpin Carmine Falcone (John Turturro). Working at the Iceberg Lounge, a criminal underworld hangout, Selina becomes the tool Batman needs to get inside information. It’s all very convoluted with lots of characters, including Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot, aka Penguin (Colin Ferrell made unrecognizable under facial prostheses). Jeffrey Wright stars as

Fair Oaks, Galaxy, Stadium 10, Palm, Park, Sunset Drive-In honest cop James Gordon, who against his fellow officers’ wishes brings Batman into the investigation into The Riddler. Anna I had absolutely no idea that Colin Farrell was Penguin. That’s bonkers! Whoever the artist is who made his prosthesis should win an award—he was completely unrecognizable. I’m in agreement that this film definitely could have been tightened up. There are very few movies that have enough meat to actually justify an almost three-hour runtime, and The Batman isn’t one of them. That said, I like the storyline, I like the characters, I even like the dark moodiness and style that were chosen. There were just too many lingering shots and long moments where in my head I was snapping my fingers and saying, “Tighten it up, people!” I wasn’t sure how Pattinson would come across as Batman. Honestly, he’s not exactly the actor I picture for the role, but he handled this young Bruce Wayne with a real sense of the tortured hermit that Wayne is, especially in his younger years. Dano does creepy so well, and his Riddler is definitely an unforgettable villain. This film is, of course, a setup for more to come, and I’ll totally watch them—I just hope the next go around they stick with a two-hour script.

rom a stage composed of a big screen and surrounded by piles of trash painted white to match his clothing, comedian Moses Storm presents a comedy special that also is a commentary on growing up in poverty. From being the lookout for the family while they went dumpster diving to the reality of a family of seven living on a converted Greyhound bus, Storm manages to make the tragic moments hilarious in retrospect, but he doesn’t let us get too comfortable in our laughter. The comedian points out that he “looks like he should be rich,” but the wounds created in his younger years still live with him now. From hilarious anecdotes about a family day gone wrong spent rummaging for discarded ice cream and then sneaking into a pool, to his mother’s endless attempts to stage “hilarious” moments in hopes of winning $10,000 from America’s Funniest Home Videos, we get a full tour of Storm’s unique brand of humor. Fans of comedy will eat up this HBO special—it’s smart and sarcastic, and Storm manages to bring everything full circle. (one hour) —Anna

Glen I’m still of the mind that director Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy is the best run of Batman flicks, but this one is appealing, and I’m all in for sequels too. This is less a standard superhero movie and more a political thriller noir. Gotham is a horrible place to live—dirty, crime-ridden, operated on graft and corruption. It feels irredeemable, and one wonders why Wayne even bothers. In part, it’s because he thinks it’s his legacy since he believes his father was such a do-gooder, which is why the story’s revelations shake him to his core. He essentially has no one left … except Alfred (Andy Serkis), the family butler, the only person still able to guide him to do more than mere vengeance. This isn’t a revelatory reimagining, but it’s a nice twist on a favorite franchise. Anna It’s not my favorite Batman film, but it definitely soars above some of the disasters that have happened over the years. Kravitz is a good fit for the Catwoman character, playing a damaged woman who is desperate for vengeance. I love an effective villain, and Dano’s Riddler is creepy, sinister, and unpredictable enough to do the job here. The finale of the film pulls off some epic shots, and without going into spoilers, I’ll just say that both good and evil have their time to shine. One thing is for sure, I’ll never set my Zillow search to Gotham—that place is bleak, rain soaked, and riddled with crime.

teven Soderbergh (Erin Brockovich, Ocean’s Eleven, Magic Mike) directs this thriller about Angela Childs (Zoë Kravitz), an agoraphobic tech worker whose job is to monitor data streams from a new smart speaker called Kimi, making corrections to its software. Unlike other smart speakers that use AI to improve algorithms, actual people like Angela monitor Kimi, working to improve its ability to respond to any query. While examining a recording, Angela believes she’s discovered evidence of a violent crime. If you’re immediately thinking BlowUp (1966) about the photographer who inadvertently captures a murder on film, Blow-Out (1981) about a movie sound engineer who accidentally records evidence that a car crash was a murder, or The Net (1995) about a reclusive tech worker who stumbles on a conspiracy, you’re on the right track.

It’s a tasty little thriller about a wounded woman struggling with a past assault whose fear of the outside world was worsened by the pandemic. Can she overcome her crippling anxiety to get justice for the victim? David Koepp’s script is propulsive, and Cliff Martinez offers a score that would sound at home in a Hitchcock thriller. As usual, Soderbergh is a wiz behind the camera. It’s a fun watch. (89 min.) Δ —Glen

Suds and soul Cambria’s 927 Beer Company celebrates 10 years quenching locals’ thirst for craft beer and building community

ixie Walker is a regular at Cambria’s 927 Beer Company. In fact, many of the town’s 5,647 residents frequent the landmark establishment, owned by brewmaster Aaron Wharton and his wife, Jennifer. Walker favors Green Valley IPA, but “all his beers do please the palate,” she said. “No matter what your taste, he has it. I usually get a half case of bottles, and Aaron drops them off on his way home— the perk of living close.” Located in Cambria’s West Village at 821 Cornwall St., 927 is much more than the town’s sole brewery. It’s a local treasure that has helped forge deep bonds among community members for the past decade. Beyond offering delicious beer, Walker said, the brewery provides “great conversation—from the trivial to solving the problems of the world.” Locals Steve and Jamie MacLeod echo Walker’s sentiment. According to Steve, the Whartons “have created an intimate and welcoming place where we can always get away from any societal pressures, have a cool brew, discuss local politics,” and, he jokingly added, “conduct a group prayer for rain.” The Whartons know their regulars intimately and are humbled by their support. “Many friendships have been made by the introductions at 927 Beer,” Aaron said. “We alone have met so many wonderful people that have become our friends. We look forward to seeing how friends we knew in the beginning have gone on to have families, and we get to meet their kids, etc.” To express their heartfelt thanks to community members for their friendship and patronage, the Whartons will be throwing a 10-year anniversary bash on March 19 and 20. The seaside town’s steady stream of tourists is equally welcome. The festivities will feature Lompocbased Big Truck Foods dishing up scratch-made American-style fare, and live music, including Carbon City Lights of San Luis Obispo and local band Rough House. And, of course, there will be beer. Aaron said that one of the most anticipated items on the taproom menu is his limited-edition IPA, released annually in March. “Our anniversary always features Comatose, our triple IPA,” he said. “It tastes like Cambria pines in a glass due to the piney hops used in the brewing process.” While Aaron says his IPAs remain top sellers, one of his biggest surprises has been the popularity of his sour program. He likens the taste of his sour beers to “a

lemonade with tangy citrus tones.” “We have a wonderful golden sour base beer that provides a great canvas for the fruit to play on top of,” he said. “Working with local businesses to provide ingredients for the sour beers has proven to be a winning strategy. Olallieberries are the obvious choice here, and we source our berries from Aaron Linn at Linn’s [Fruit Bin] in Cambria.” Not surprisingly, the Whartons’ close connection with their customers also extends to their area suppliers. “I have known Jenn and Aaron for many years,” Linn said. “We have children who have grown up together. “I’ve been happy to provide Aaron with some olallieberries for making his fine handcrafted beers over the years. I look forward to tasting his finished product,” he said. “I think the olallies make a special product because of their inherent tartness. The irony is olallieberries are not a prolific crop. They yield very little by the acre. Therefore, they can’t be used on a grand or large production scale.” Which is just the way Aaron likes it. The microbrewery is perhaps the smallest

in the county, with only a six-keg capacity. To Aaron, limited capacity means high quality, which is a perfect fit for Cambria. Even the bar’s name is an ode to the Whartons’ beloved town. “[It’s] a nod to a simpler time,” Aaron explained, “when our town was so small that everyone’s phone number had a 927 prefix. When locals shared their numbers, giving the last four digits was all that was necessary.” Though the Whartons moved to Cambria most recently in 2009, Jennifer was raised in the town, having moved from Long Beach at 1 month old. Their college years were spent in Modesto, Aaron’s hometown. Both

Jennifer and Aaron received business degrees with a concentration in human resources from Stanislaus State University in Turlock. While Jennifer remains in the field as associate executive director of human resources for Cal Poly Corporation, Aaron pivoted from the profession after unwrapping a home brewing kit on Christmas Day in 1995. From his first attempt at brewing, Aaron was hooked. “I have always enjoyed cooking, and brewing beer is the same,” he said. “It’s following a recipe. Sometimes the recipes are good, sometimes not. Figuring what to do next time is the fun part.” FLAVOR continued page 32

While still living in Modesto, the Whartons “dreamt that someday they might own a brewery on California’s Central Coast,” Aaron said. Their dream became a reality when 927 officially opened for business on March 24, 2012. “This place has provided a wonderful creative outlet for me and has allowed me to be there for my kids—Annika, 20, and Emma, 16—as they have grown,” he said. “Having a business in town allowed the kids to ride the bus SUPERFANS The Whartons have been following to the taproom, where we would Seattle rock band Pearl Jam for 30 years.

For single-family residential purposes, only gravity sewer within any street, public right-of-way, or easement shall be considered as available sewer.

COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO NOTICE OF PROPOSED COUNTY ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS At the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, April 5, 2022 at 9:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors will consider adoption of ordinance amendments to Title 8, Chapters 8.04, 8.06, 8.08, 8.12, 8.16, 8.30, 8.54, 8.60, and 8.62 of the County Code regarding the County Environmental Health Services Division to update references, delete outdated code sections, and make other clean up and reorganizational changes. The hearing will be held at the Board of Supervisors Chambers, County Government Center, 1055 Monterey Street, in San Luis Obispo. Due to COVID-19, the Chambers may not be open to the public. Please refer to the temporary procedures for Board of Supervisors meetings on the County’s website at https://www.slocounty.ca.gov/ Departments/Board-of-Supervisors.aspx. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS Chapter 8.04 – Food and Drink Establishments Proposed amendments to: • Delete any outdated sections that are preempted by State law. • Clean up permit requirements and enforcement and appeal process sections. • Add a definition for Environmental Health Services Division (“EHS”) Director and designates EHS as the local enforcement agency. • Formalize EHS’s existing process of posting Notice of Closures on food facilities closed for no permit or health risk. • Formalize the annual mobile food facility inspection process where a permit sticker is affixed to each mobile food facility. • Clarify that fees can be collected for unlicensed complaint investigations when enforcement or other follow up actions are required Chapter 8.06 – Plan Approval The proposed amendments to chapter 8.06 consolidate: 1. The existing plan review and health permit requirements for all facilities regulated by EHS; 2. The permit and cost recovery fee system; and 3. The due process enforcement procedures for refusing, suspending or revoking a health permit. The proposed amendments also provide for a cost recovery for Hazardous Incident Response Team incidents and other unlicensed enforcement activities. Chapter 8.08 – Seasonal Farm Labor Camps This chapter is proposed to be deleted because it is governed by 1986 amendments to the United States Department of Labor Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (codified at 29 U.S.C. §§ 1801-1872). 29 U.S.C. §1823 states that housing for migrant agricultural workers must meet applicable California Health and Safety standards and have a Certificate of Occupancy. Chapter 8.12 – Solid Waste Management Minor amendments are proposed for this chapter to update outdated California Health and Safety Code section numbers referenced in the definitions of Medical Solid Waste and the definition of Medical Waste. Chapter 8.16 – Septic Tank Trucks The proposed amendments update permitting requirements by referencing the newly revised chapter 8.06 for health permit requirements. They also formalize current inspection standards for septic trucks pertaining to sanitary equipment and practices, labeling, proper disposal, inspection and reporting. Chapter 8.30 – Cross-Connections Control and Inspections Proposed amendments to this chapter include adding and updating terminology, including reference to backflow prevention equipment as “assemblies” rather than “devices”. The amendments also codify the existing practice of requiring adherence to the San Luis Obispo County Cross-Connection Program Policy and Procedures and requiring cross connection control testers submit current reports of calibration of their testing equipment when submitting certificates of training from recognized providers before a County issued identification card is provided. Chapter 8.54 – Enforcement-Citation Authority The proposed amendment to this chapter clarifies that the citation authority is for violations of Title 8 of the County Code. Chapter 8.60 – Public Swimming Pools The proposed amendments clarify that the Health Officer and EHS enforce state public swimming pool standards and codifies the long-standing process of posting a Notice of Closure on public swimming pools and spas that are closed for health risk or for not having a valid health permit. Chapter 8.62 – Organized Camps The recommended amendments clarify that the Health Officer and EHS enforce state organized camp standards and updates the reference to chapter 8.06 for permitting requirements in addition to the outdated California Health and Safety Code section referenced in the definition of Organized Camp. If adopted, the proposed ordinance amendments would become effective May 5, 2022. Any person interested in expressing their views regarding the proposed ordinance amendments may do so at the Board of Supervisors meeting. To determine specific placement of this item on the Board of Supervisors Agenda and to review the full text of the proposed ordinance amendments, go to the County’s website at www.slocounty.ca.gov on the Wednesday before the scheduled meeting date. A certified copy of the full text of the proposed amendments may also be reviewed at the:

Review of a new 16,741-square-foot, 28.5-foot tall, two-story, commercial structure on a vacant lot within the Higuera Commence Park Specific Plan area for manufacturing/industrial uses with supporting office space and delivery bays. The project includes a lot line adjustment that would allow for the new structure to abut the existing adjacent structure and property to the north, which is under common ownership and would share parking areas and parking lot access.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Every day for three days, seek out three experiences that will make you laugh a lot. Report results: newsletter.freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries author Isak Dinesen defined “true piety” as “loving one’s destiny unconditionally.” That’s a worthy goal for you to aspire to in the coming weeks. I hope you will summon your deepest reserves of ingenuity and imagination as you cultivate a state of mind in which you adore your life just as it is. You won’t compare it negatively to anyone else’s fate, and you won’t wish it were different from what it actually is. Instead, you will be pleased and at peace with the truth of exactly who you are right now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As author Mary Ruefle points out, “In the beginning, William Shakespeare was a baby, and knew absolutely nothing. He couldn’t even speak.” And yet eventually, he became a literary superstar—among history’s greatest authors. What happened in between? I’m not exaggerating when I attribute part of the transformation to magic. Vast amounts of hard work and help and luck were involved, too. But to change from a wordless, uncoordinated sprout to a potent, influential maestro, Taurus-born Shakespeare had to be the beneficiary of mysterious powers. I bring this up, Taurus, because I think you will have access to comparable mojo during the next four weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): As talented and financially successful as Kanye West is, the Gemini singer-songwriter experiences a lot of emotional suffering. But no one lives an ideal life, right? And we can learn from everyone. In any case, I’ve chosen quotes by Kanye that are in rapt alignment with your astrological omens. Here they are: 1. “I’m in pursuit of awesomeness; excellence is the bare minimum.” 2. “You’re not perfect, but you’re not your mistakes.” 3. “I’m not comfortable with comfort. I’m only comfortable when I’m in a place where I’m constantly learning and growing.” 4. “Everything I’m not makes me everything I am.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Any real ecstasy is a sign you are moving in the right direction,” wrote philosopher Saint Teresa of Avila, who was renowned for her euphoric spiritual experiences. So is there any such thing as “fake ecstasy,” as she implies? Maybe fake ecstasy would be perverse bliss at the misfortune of an enemy, or the trivial joy that comes from realizing your house keys aren’t missing. Real ecstasy, on the other hand, might arise from a visceral sense of the presence of God, or the rapture that emerges as you make love with a person you care for, or the elation you feel when you commune with your favorite animal. Anyway, Cancerian, I predict that in the coming days, you will have an extra rich potential for the real kinds of rhapsodic delight and enchantment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo actor Jennifer Lawrence portrayed a rugged, fierce, resourceful champion in The Hunger Games film trilogy. In real life, however, she has few resemblances to that stalwart hero. “I have the street smarts and survival skills of a poodle,” she has confessed. But I’ve got potentially good news for her and all the rest of you Leos. The coming months will be a favorable time for you to cultivate the qualities of a rugged, fierce, resourceful champion. And right now would be an excellent time to launch your efforts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Each of us periodically has to deal with conflict. There come times when we must face the fact that a specific situation in our lives isn’t working well and needs to be adjusted, fixed, or transformed. We might prefer to pretend the problem doesn’t exist. We may be inclined to endure the stressful discomfort rather than engage with its causes. But such an approach won’t be right for you in the coming days, dear Virgo. For the sake of your mental and spiritual health, you have a sacred duty to bravely risk a struggle to improve things. I’ll provide you with advice from novelist John Fowles. He said, “I must fight with my

weapons. Not his. Not selfishness and brutality and shame and resentment.” Fowles goes on to say that he will offer generosity and gentleness and no-shame and forgiveness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A blogger named MysteryOfWhat expressed appreciation for her errors and wrong turns. “I love all my mistakes!” she exclaimed. “I had fun!” She has a theory that she would not have been able to completely fulfill her interesting destiny without her blunders and her brilliant adjustments to those blunders. I won’t encourage you to be quite so boisterously unconditional in celebrating your fumbles and miscues, Libra. My inclination is to urge you to honor them and feel grateful for them, but I’m not sure I should advise you to shout out, “I love all my mistakes! I had fun!” But what do you think?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Norman MacCaig wrote, “Ask me, go on, ask me to do something impossible, something freakishly useless, something unimaginable and inimitable like making a finger break into blossom or walking for half an hour in 20 minutes or remembering tomorrow.” I hope people say things like that to you soon, Scorpio. I hope allies playfully nudge you to stretch your limits, expand your consciousness, and experiment on the frontier. To encourage such a development, you could do the same for your beloved allies: nudge them to stretch their limits, expand their consciousness, and experiment on the frontier.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Look at your body not as a source of physical attraction but as a shrine,” wrote teacher Sobonfu Somé. Personally, I have no problem if you regard your body as a source of physical attraction—as a gorgeous, radiant expression of your life energy, worthy of inspiring the appreciation of others. But I agree with Somé that you should also treat your body as a sacred sanctuary deserving of your reverence—especially now. Please boost your intention to provide your beloved organism with all the tender care it needs and warrants.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “It’s surprising how much memory is built around things unnoticed at the time,” writes author Barbara Kingsolver. Yes! I agree. And by providing you with this heads-up from her, I’m hoping that the subtly potent events unfolding for you in the coming weeks will not go unnoticed. I’m hoping you will be alert for seemingly small but in fact crucial developments—and thereby give them all the focus and intelligence they deserve. Later, you’ll remember this delicately pivotal time with amazed gratitude.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What’s more important: to learn or to unlearn? The answer, of course, is they are equally important. But sometimes, the most crucial preparation for a new learning phase is to initiate a surge of unlearning. That’s what I’m recommending for you right now. I foresee you embarking on a series of extravagant educational experiences in a couple of weeks. And the best way to ensure you take maximum advantage of the available lessons is by dumping useless knowledge and irrelevant information and numbing habits.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Singer-songwriter Jill Scott has earned one platinum and two gold records. She approaches her craft with diligence and intensity. On one occasion, she was frying a burger at her boyfriend’s house when she sensed a new song forming in her imagination. Abandoning the stove, she ran into the next room to grab pen and paper. Soon she had transcribed the beginning of a melody and lyrics. In the meantime, though, the kitchen caught on fire. Luckily, she doused it. Later Jill testified, “His cabinets were charred, and he was furious. But it was worth it for a song.” I don’t think you’ll have to make as big a sacrifice as hers in the coming days, Pisces. But you should respond robustly whenever inspiration arrives. ∆
