Public Health opens up grant applications for pandemic relief

an Luis Obispo County presented another chance for local nonprofits to secure muchneeded dollars for pandemic relief, but some are concerned that the rules of eligibility will make the process inequitable. On May 27, the county issued a call for applications through the Public Health Department. With $5.9 million up for grabs, 12 organizations would be selected to pursue “pandemic recovery health improvement projects.” The projects must address one or more of four themes—building an accessible and robust health care workforce, mental health and substance abuse, food access, and/or healthy aging. But the competitive nature of the funds left Big Brothers Big Sisters of SLO County secondguessing. “Larger nonprofits have a wider bandwidth to take on projects and potentially move staff members to execute those projects. As a result, they can be more nimble and responsive,” said Big Brothers Big Sisters CEO Jenny Luciano. “When we’re fully staffed, we have 10 people. But we do extremely important and mighty work for these families.” Ever since COVID-19 hit, Big Brothers Big Sisters has linked at-risk families with resources that kept them healthy and housed. But it also bore a heavy cost for these services, which Luciano estimated to be in the ballpark of $250,000. That’s why Big Brothers Big Sisters joined nearly 60 other nonprofits to apply for recovery grants funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). But they were in for a shock on May 17 when the SLO County Board of Supervisors

only recommended grants for seven organizations, declaring after the fact that it had prioritized nonprofits that addressed housing and homelessness. Luciano’s group missed out on the chance to receive at least $25,000 of the $3 million round of grants. The roughly $6 million fund from Public Health comes from $14 million in LOSING OUT Smaller nonprofits like the SLO chapter of ARPA funding that the department Big Brothers Big Sisters are rethinking whether to apply for received for emergency response. the pandemic relief aid organized by the county Department “My concern is that the Board of Public Health because of concerns about well-staffed of Supervisors is using this RFA nonprofits winning competitive grants over them. [request for applications] through Public Health as a means to divert “The Public Health Department team first attention from how they’re handling the RFA identified how much funding would be needed initially put out for nonprofits. It’s great for for direct pandemic response and how much some,” she said. “The smallest nonprofits are would be available for these health improvement suffering in ways that probably larger nonprofits projects to address disparities exacerbated by did not. We seem to be the last to recover.” the pandemic. The team was then scheduled Luciano added that if Big Brothers Big Sisters to begin working with community leaders to applies before the June 30 deadline, the agency identify priority areas for where the funds would would pitch a project related to mental health have meaningful impacts, but the winter surge and substance abuse, or healthy aging. delayed the timeline by a couple of months,” Public Health’s RFA states that it won’t Kennon said. consider projects pertaining to homelessness Luciano said that while she understands and the housing crisis. The department is why the county is limiting grant recipients to looking for projects worth at least $50,000 12 because of the time crunch and the cost of in capital costs and $200,000 in operating completing the projects around the same time, it expenses, with no maximum amount specified. could also be discouraging to smaller nonprofits. Public Health reviewed health data and worked “Twelve projects of $200,000 or more are with SLO Health Counts to identify the four likely going to be awarded to larger nonprofits priority areas, according to Tara Kennon, that can turn those types of opportunities the county health agency’s COVID-19 public quickly,” she said.

Dayspring sentenced to 22 months for bribery, tax fraud

the 2017 bribe made over dinner, according to the plea deal. By filing false tax returns, Dayspring also defrauded the IRS of nearly $3.5 million between 2014 and 2018, according to prosecutors, which gave him an additional competitive advantage of having more capital to expand his businesses. In court filings filed ahead of the May 27 sentencing hearing, U.S. attorneys said: “Dayspring had one goal: build a cannabis empire. To accomplish that goal, he would not let anything get in his way, including the law.” In handing down the 22-month sentence, Birotte rejected arguments from Dayspring’s attorneys that he should avoid prison time and serve probation instead due to his cooperation in the federal investigation. Dayspring was ordered to surrender for his prison term by Aug. 26. —Peter Johnson

Central Coast cannabis magnate Helios Dayspring received a 22-month prison sentence on May 27, putting a capstone on a public corruption case that shook San Luis Obispo County for a year. Federal judge André Birotte Jr. handed down the sentence at a hearing in downtown Los Angeles. He sided with U.S. prosecutors that Dayspring deserved prison time for his charges of bribing a public official and filing false tax returns. “What’s troubling about this case is it goes to the heart of government process,” Birotte said during the hearing, according to the Los Angeles Times. Last July, Dayspring pleaded guilty to bribing late SLO County 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill with payments totaling $32,000—a practice that gave him and his cannabis company Natural Healing Center a leg up in the county’s fledging industry. Dayspring also admitted to attempting to bribe former Grover Beach Mayor John Shoals, offering $100,000 in exchange for cannabis dispensary licenses, but Shoals did not accept

Atascadero looks to stimulate affordable housing development Atascadero needs to generate approximately $800,000 a year in matching funds for

affordable development projects to keep up with the state’s housing goals for the city. That would help developers and nonprofits build an average of 32 low- to very low-income housing units per year, according to Ashleigh Kanat, a city-contracted consultant with Economic and Planning Systems. Kanat spoke to the City Council during a May 24 discussion about how best to expand the city’s affordable housing development toolkit. “In general, it’s the low- and very low-income units that are the most challenging to get,” Kanat said. “How can we continue moving in the right direction?” Between 2014 and 2019, 562 new housing units were built in Atascadero, according to a city staff report. Although the city met and exceeded the state’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) goals for moderate- and above moderate-income housing, Atascadero fell short in the low- and very low-income categories. Atascadero Community Development Director Phil Dunsmore said the city almost always exceeds RHNA outlined objectives for moderate and market-rate housing. He added that a lot of low-income and very low-income project developers call the city to ask for contributions, NEWS continued page 6

About 373 housing units are currently under construction in the city, Dunsmoore said during the meeting, but only three of those units are considered to meet the very low-income level threshold ($26,450 for a three-person household) and 15 meet the low-income level ($44,050). Although the city has already approved projects that could generate approximately 220 low-income housing units in Atascadero, Dunsmore said the projects are grant-funded and will likely require city contributions to move forward. One of the ways to generate that money is through an inclusionary housing fee charged to developers, Dunsmore said. Kanat said the most common way to do that is to charge developers per square foot. She gave council members four potential options based on the city’s history of housing development, the cost of building housing, and the cost of purchasing or renting housing. Atascadero could charge developers a flat rate of $5.88 per square foot of new housing or a flat rate of $6.40 per square foot on new housing units that are greater than 1,000 square feet. Or the city could exempt the first 1,000 square feet of any new housing unit, charging $14.81 per square foot after that. Or Atascadero could opt for a more complicated tiered structure. City Councilmember Charles Bourbeau said he thought that houses built under 1,500 square feet should be exempt from inclusionary housing fees. “I don’t feel comfortable charging an affordable housing fee to someone or a developer who’s developing a moderateincome house for someone who’s struggling to afford a market-rate house,” Bourbeau said. “People building a 3,500 or 5,000-square-foot house could afford that.” Atascadero Mayor Heather Moreno added that she was also concerned about burdening lower income households with a fee, when higher income households could better handle the extra cost. Atascadero built about 813,000 square feet of housing between 2014 and 2019, city staff said, and 1,500 square feet was the median size of a home. If the city exempted the first 1,500 feet of housing built, staff said that inclusionary fees would have to be much higher than what was presented. Bourbeau added that the city’s inclusionary housing fee shouldn’t be include “a cliff,” where “that next square foot is going to cost you a significant amount of money.” City Council ultimately directed staff to come back at a future meeting with more information on an inclusionary fee structure that would exempt the first 1,000 feet of any new housing unit built and include a tiered structure. —Camillia Lanham

Water fight

Cuyama’s plan had four areas that needed improvement—justification of its sustainability criteria (impacts the GSA is trying to avoid), details about surface waters in the area, water quality monitoring, and water drawdown in certain areas of the basin. The GSA has been working with the state on making amendments to the plan it previously submitted with the goal of submitting it to the state by July 20. “There should be technical review by “We believe that we’ve adequately and the county of the GSA’s consistency letters completely addressed the deficiencies,” and the hydrogeology reports that are Reely said. “We specifically asked them if the basis of those consistency letters,” there were any concerns or red flags. … Williams told New Times. “If the GSA is They’ve indicated … no.” just believing the applicant that wants However, Bolthouse seems to disagree. to drill a new well, then we [the county] After the GSA’s May board meeting, should at least be providing technical Bolthouse submitted a comment letter feedback to the GSA.” to the GSA expressing concern that the The large, multinational corporations plan will not achieve sustainability.

Cuyama Valley landowners face an adjudication lawsuit as they try to sustainably manage their groundwater basin

uyama Valley’s water woes dominated Santa Barbara County 2nd District Supervisor Das Williams’ comments during a recent hearing about the future of water well permits in his county. “I just have some concerns about how this is going to impact high-priority basins, particularly Cuyama,” Williams said during the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors’ May 24 meeting. “The local people are under two stresses: One stress of their well might run dry, and the second stress is what’s paying for the plan to make sure their well doesn’t run dry is a pumping fee that they’ve never paid before.” Complying with the state’s 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act has been expensive in places like Cuyama, Williams said, which he added has one of the most critically overdrafted basins in California. Tension over how to best manage the groundwater has prevented the area from fully implementing its groundwater sustainability plan, which also has yet to be approved by the state. A March 2022 executive order from Gov. Gavin Newsom stopped local governments from approving new water well permits in state-designated high-priority and medium-priority basins without receiving written verification from the respective groundwater sustainability agency (GSA) that the new well is consistent with the basin’s sustainability plan. Williams’ concern is that local GSAs don’t have the staff or money to pay a hydrogeologist to conduct the studies necessary to make that technical determination. He used a hypothetical to make his point during the May 24 meeting: A large, multinational corporation could send a report to the GSA that says “even though wells are dropping 100 feet a year, this well that we’re going to pump a huge amount water out of … this isn’t going to impact” the groundwater sustainability plan. And the GSA, Williams said, is going to take the report by the corporation-hired hydrogeologist at face value because it doesn’t have the expertise not to.

Vineyard co-owner Roberta Jaffe said that community members believe there’s a conflict of interest for the corporations that filed a water rights lawsuit to also serve on the agency tasked with making water management decisions for that same water basin. “Grimmway and Bolthouse are basically suing every landowner in the basin for water rights in a basin that has limited water and has to make drastic cuts in the next few years,” Jaffe said. “They’re one of the main perpetrators over why we have an overdrafted basin. They’ve been using most of the water.” Many of the valley’s non-corporate landowners have been farming in Cuyama for generations, Jaffe said. Those community members have made changes to cope with the region’s groundwater situation, including switching to less-water-intensive crops and making cutbacks to water pumping. That’s the reality of the situation, she said, a reality the corporations are choosing not to face. “They’re not making decisions based on any respect for the people in Cuyama or the environment,” Jaffe said, adding that landowners now have to spend money on lawyers as well as pay for the GSA and pumping fees. “Basically, anyone who wants to defend their water rights in the whole basin has to have a lawyer.” The adjudication process is happening

SLO’s long-term residents and students struggle to see eye-to-eye

ongtime San Luis Obispo resident Kye Martin’s kids have a few more years before they graduate high school, but their dad is already counting down the days. “The last three years have been awful. I look at real estate all the time. I have three more years so that our kids can get out of high school, and I’m done. I’m really done. I feel like there are never really any consequences for [college students’] behavior. When you live next door to these [college] kids, with their techno music and beer pong games going, and every other word out of their mouth they’re screaming at the top of their lungs is the F-word,” he said. The Martins live on Hope Street right next to a rental home full of Cal Poly students with a penchant for partying. Martin said noise issues occasionally plagued them over the past five years, but they boomed louder and more frequently once the pandemic hit and residents were confined indoors. Now, the 52-year-old contends with beer cans strewn in his yard, techno music reverberating through his walls, expletive-laced banter floating around him, and his teenagers asking him to get the neighbors to “shut up.” Recently, some of the students also allegedly streaked down the nearby bridge in broad daylight. Martin’s wife grew up on Hope Street and lived an “idyllic childhood.” But as SLO attracted more investors and Cal Poly’s enrollment rate ballooned, the city’s neighborhoods underwent a makeover many weren’t pleased about. “In the last five years, we’ve watched the neighborhood go from owner-occupied to rental. Then, in the last four years, we’ve seen the homes be bought by either parents of Cal Poly students or these developers taking these three-bedroom, one-bath houses and blowing them up to five-bedroom, five-bath houses,” Martin said. “Originally, you could only have three unrelated people live in a home. That’s gone out of the window because of the housing crisis.” What can the average annoyed resident do to fix these noise issues? Not much, according to Martin. After calling the SLO Police Department for the fifth time in four days on May 24, he told New Times that the strongest punishment for continued noise violations is a series of citations that officers issue at their discretion. SLOPD slapped the first notice of violation on the students next door after Martin’s last call, and he claimed one of the boys swore at him the next morning when they bumped into each other. “Sometimes, PD will come out and they don’t necessarily hear the volume of the noise from the street because all the backyards are back to each other. So they get talked to, but they don’t get cited. It has gotten increasingly worse. The complete lack of respect from young people today, … they’ve never been this bad,” he said.

While Martin thinks Cal Poly and SLO shirk their duties by putting “money first” in terms of the revenue that students bring in every year, Marx has been fighting for an amendment to the noise guidelines. But her fellow council members haven’t agreed yet, she said. “A lot of it has to do with the taste in music. During COVID, my husband and I were both working from home … and if they are playing music with a strong bass component, you can’t shut that out. It’s visceral,” Marx said. “I’m trying right now to get our noise ordinance upgraded so that it includes something about the bass. All we have right now has to do with the decibel level of the music.” Marx added that permanent residents aren’t the only ones impacted by loud parties. Other Cal Poly students who are “more academically inclined” or have to work while being in college also bear the brunt. Martin, too, BRACE FOR BASS SLO’s former Mayor differentiated the students. and current City Councilmember Jan Marx is “It’s not all the kids; we have trying to update the noise ordinance to include guidelines for “visceral” bass reverberations that some Cal Poly students living disturb neighbors when college students party across the street from us, and to techno music. they’re fabulous.

hen Shannon Mako moved to Nipomo from San Clemente four years ago, she knew no one and found it really hard to make new friends, she said. “The nature of the Central Coast is that it’s very small town. Properties are spread out, people have their houses sit further back in their land. You don’t meet your neighbors as much as you do in suburban Orange County,” Mako said. To make new friends, Mako joined Powerhouse Barre and Pilates: a new Nipomo-based studio run by fellow Central Coast transfer Marissa Wilson—who moved here from Bakersfield—Mako said.

Vote for Dawn Addis Leadership is important. I support Dawn Addis for state Assembly because she is the experienced, thoughtful, and principled leader needed. Dawn is a city council member, teacher, and mother, with a 20-year record of leadership in our Central Coast communities. Her priorities—lowering housing costs, reducing gun violence, protecting women’s reproductive rights, safeguarding California’s coast, and addressing climate change—align with mine. I know her to be honest and straightforward, hardworking, and willing to stand up for what’s right. I know as our elected representative she will advance a clear and strong vision for honest government, guided by her experience living and working on the Central Coast. On June 7, join me in voting for Dawn Addis for Assembly. Gail Morton Monterey

Now is the time Rather than being a rehash of what most know about homelessness locally, Kevin Buchanan’s piece (“A housing problem,” May 26) is quite insightful and informative. He writes that “even ‘housing first’ solutions to homelessness remain a reactive solution.” And he goes on to say that “legalizing basic varieties of housing, even duplexes and accessory dwelling units, are met with the resistance from the same people who claim to want to solve homelessness.” I was involved with the early efforts of Hope’s Village (hopesvillageofslo.com) to fi nd land locally for a tiny-home village. Hope’s Village is a nonprofit organization. The land search went on interminably (yet was endorsed by many county and city agencies) and I bowed out after about a year. Now Becky Jorgeson

Police Association and the Atascadero Firefighters Association. Dr. Jones isn’t from SLO County—he just moved here from Missouri four years ago. He isn’t supported by cops, and it’s disingenuous and misleading for him to use a candid photo with a police officer to try and trick people. Shame on him. On June 7, I’ll be voting for Geoff Auslen—the candidate really endorsed by first responders. Ray M. Buban Atascadero

Downtown parking rules need to change As a longtime downtown businessperson since the 1970s, it has been thoroughly discouraging to hear deserved complaints about the parking rules put in place since August 2021. Does everyone know that you can be ticketed up to 9 p.m., seven days a week? Numerous patrons have complained that the pay kiosks are hard to understand and inconvenient, not to mention they only have a two-hour limit. Comments such as “the city sure is greedy” or worse, “we’re no longer coming downtown anymore,” seem indicative that these rules make access to downtown SLO anything but user friendly. At the very least, return to ticketing until 6 p.m. Jim Dee San Luis Obispo

Do your homework, find the right answers is close to finalizing an agreement with the county for a vacant parcel of land to, indeed, start her village for some 50 people on a list. A nationwide tiny-home expert recently came to SLO to explain about all the possibilities that tiny homes can stimulate. If you are truly concerned about solving homelessness (in the sense of initially actually providing a real, affordable home) for a few dozen individuals, please contact Hope’s Village and donate what you can. Now is absolutely the time to make a difference! William Seavey Cambria

I’m voting for Dawn Addis. Are you? I first heard Dawn Addis speak at a candidates forum, and I was immediately impressed that she knew the issues of our Central Coast. She listens, her heart is in our entire Assembly District, and she won’t go to Sacramento and forget about us. Please join me in voting for Dawn Addis, someone with integrity, compassion, experience, and someone who will never do any negative campaigning. Clyde Roberson mayor Monterey

The ballots have arrived. It’s time to vote for those who we will choose to represent us. Some have already cast their ballot, some have not. How do we know who is the most qualified to address the issues we are most concerned with? JFK once stated, “Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer but the right answer.” Hopefully many have taken the time to seek information on their own to help make a careful, honest decision. Find out for yourself, verify what you may have heard or read. We need to take responsibility for our decisions. It is our right and obligation to do so.

Letters My vote for SLO County Supervisor is Lynn Compton for District 4. She’s experienced, committed, and effective. Compton has served and supported residents, families, business, and law enforcement for eight years without implementing new tax hikes or new fees. She’s consistently voted to protect Proposition 13, and she is committed to getting results for the concerns of the people she serves. Compton also works to protect our precious water resources. She’s fighting the root causes of homelessness—mental health and drug addiction. Help Lynn Compton keep fighting for us. Ellie Ripley Arroyo Grande

Time to vote for change Republicans are willing to fall on their sword to support the “sanctity of life” and outlaw a woman’s right to choose. Contrarily, they have vowed their fealty to the NRA and refuse to support gun control measures, universal background checks, and an assault weapons ban because they believe new laws would threaten a constitutional right to own and bear firearms. Meanwhile, public mass shootings have tripled since 2011. How can they be pro-life on one side and pro-gun on the other? How many more children and teachers must die before voters defeat elected officials who value the support of the NRA over the real sanctity of the living? Use your vote for change!

to apply for a portion of the $6 billion in federal funds allocated to propping up distressed nuclear power plants. It came and went, but the fate of the Diablo Canyon plant—clouded by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s sudden about-face on its closure—lingers on in the form of a 45day extension of that deadline. Two months ago, everyone should have gotten the message, loud and clear and with finality, that the Diablo Canyon Power Plant should shut down by 2025 as scheduled, and sooner would be better. As the Santa Barbara Independent reported in chilling detail in its March 29 edition, a steel pipe in the plant’s backup cooling system had sprung a leak in July 2020 “because the pipe had become badly corroded. … But the real problem highlighted by the Office of Inspector General for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) was the failure of on-site safety inspectors with the NRC to detect the corrosion that led to the leak during an inspection of the plant that took place three months prior.” “Worse yet, according to the report, inspectors claimed to have inspected the area of the plant in question, when in fact they had not.” Stuff happens, as Naoto Kan, former prime minister of Japan, pointed out in a May 12 letter to Gov. Newsom in which he illustrated the cascading failures that led to the Fukushima disaster. He concluded, “I advise you to shut down the nuclear plant as soon as possible.” But set that aside. That $6 billion federal pie was cooked up to bail out nuclear power plants that can’t compete because billions of dollars’ worth of tax breaks, subsidies, and insurance waivers over seven decades have not sufficed to keep them from “dying of an incurable attack of market forces,” in the unimprovable phrase of Amory Lovins, chief scientist at the Rocky Mountain Institute. When Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham rises to intone, “There’s going to be a choke point on the grid. Can we really afford to lose Diablo’s energy?” the correct responses are, respectively: 1. Diablo is the choke point. 2. Yes. Once again in the incisive take of Amory Lovins, the decision to shut down Diablo was made “in order to save money … and make the grid work better by taking this big block of inflexible capacity off the grid so that variable renewables have more room to operate.” But for the panoramic sweep of just how much Diablo is not needed, it’s hard to beat the analysis of Sierra Club California Energy/Climate Committee member Robert Freehling. Let him count the ways: On the electricity: “PG&E does not need it; they have a huge surplus of electricity—about 40 percent more than their customers can use. They tried to pawn off the excess nuclear power to Community Choice Energy programs a couple years ago.” On climate/greenhouse gas: “Diablo has already been ‘replaced’ by California several times over, with rooftop solar, the Renewables Portfolio Standard, phasing out coal, and energy efficiency. Existing

efficiency, and rooftop solar will replace Diablo several more times.” On grid reliability: “The plant is not needed for general system reliability for California. In fact, this nuclear plant was one of the main reasons for the August 2020 power outage. Because CAISO [California Independent System Operator] was afraid Diablo might fail and bring down the Western regional grid, they didn’t trust the nuclear plant to keep running reliably for even just one hour, so they called for rotating outages. In effect, customer power outages were used to ‘back up’ the nuclear plant.” On those blackouts: “The ‘need’ at that time was not because of California’s electricity demand, but because of CAISO’s malfunctioning market software that was allowing export of about three thousand megawatts of power to other states in the middle of a heat wave.” On that $6 billion: “California would need all of it just to cover the abovemarket, stranded cost of keeping Diablo open until 2025, currently being covered by ratepayers. That would leave nothing to pay for keeping it running after 2025, or to pay for the other overpriced nuclear plants around the United States that are also wasting billions of dollars.” And here’s the California Public Utilities Commission, responding to nuclear fans enamored of the notion that Diablo’s closure will trigger a flood of coal power into California: “ … the state has ordered an unprecedented amount of new clean energy procurement —11.5 gigawatts —to replace the retirement of Diablo Canyon (along with other aging gas plants that are retiring). This includes wind, solar, batteries, geothermal, and long-duration storage that will be online starting in 2023.” On April 30, a landmark was achieved when nearly 100 percent of California’s electrical grid was powered by renewable energy. So yes, as it turns out, contrary to the constant drumbeat of Diablo’s last-ditch defenders who reach back to the 1980s to launch vintage attacks against renewable energy, that is a thing that can be done. And that fact is a pretty good indicator that more such days are coming, and with more frequency—no nukes needed. Let the governor know. ∆ Andrew Christie is the director of the Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club. Reach him through the editor at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

Opinion

The Shredder

Basslines

he scourge of San Luis Obispo is at it again, folks! “Cal Poly students are terrorizing local residents with their constant partying and vulgar language,” according to Kye Martin, who wrote an email to New Times expressing his displeasure with his neighbors. “Packed with disrespectful young men, who constantly party at all hours of the day. We often flee our home to get away from it.” Well, Kye, I think SLO City Councilmember Jan Marx can oneup you in terms of overdramatizing the impact of students in local neighborhoods. She fled all the way to the other side of town, permanently! But she’s not done yet! For her next magical trick, the hippie who once held a campaign dinner at The Establishment amongst “Stabbies” is targeting music— the devil’s drumbeat. “I’m trying right now to get our noise ordinance upgraded so that it includes something about the bass. All we have right now has to do with the decibel level of the music,” she said. Umm, Jan, “it’s all about that bass,” duh! But really, bass? What’s next? Treble? No, no. Marx said it’s only that strong bass component that you can’t block out. “It’s visceral,” she said. Wait. You can feel it inside of your body? I’ll have what you’re having! Or maybe I should have what the college

students are having. They apparently are having something so wonderful that streaking in the middle of the day sounds like a great idea! “When you live next door to these [college] kids, with their techno music and beer pong games going, and every word out of their mouth, they’re screaming at the top of their lungs is the F-word,” Kye, who wishes he wasn’t from the neighborhood, said. That sounds like a good time, amirite? I am right, but it also sounds like a nightmare if all you’re doing is witnessing it. Might I suggest, Kye, if you can’t beat them join ’em? Just kidding! That’d be weird, right? A man in his 50s partying with a bunch of numbnuts in their early 20s. But they aren’t just any numbnuts, they’re “rich, white, entitled, spoiled brats that aren’t working, driving Teslas and BMWs. Mommy and daddy have always taken care of it for them, and they just crap on the community.” Is that why there are so many Teslas here? Well, whaddaya expect? Cal Poly is the whitest, most expensive school in the CSU system. Plus, everybody craps. So how is the city of SLO taming the wild beasts that have spread like noxious weeds through once family-friendly neighborhoods? By slapping them with fines: $350 for the first violation, $700 for the next, and $1,000 for the third. Wow! That’s a lot, right? Not when “mommy and daddy have always

bass get its own category because it’s taken care” of everything! And if you ask “visceral”? Kye’s neighbor, Cal Poly student Kyle Asking for a friend.

New Times in San Luis Obispo is looking for its next freelance arts writer, but we’re not looking for just any art-ogling, content-wrangling someone. Can you find the unassuming local artist who’s about to blow a hole in the status quo? Do you know what it means to find the culture that matters to a community—the stuff that gives a population its heartbeat, its soul? That sweet spot where culture, politics, art, and society collide into a massive chaotic hurricane of beautiful expression? If so, then that’s exactly who we’re looking for: an arts writer who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to San Luis Obispo County. It’s not all about vineyards, rolling hills, and pounding surf brushed with light, ethereal watercolors (although that’s definitely here). It’s about that human element and where creativity lives.

NAACP’s Juneteenth Celebration includes film screening and music from local artists

The NAACP San Luis Obispo County Branch will host its fifth annual Juneteenth Celebration and Resource Fair, a two-day celebration of the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the U.S., on Saturday, June 18 and Sunday, June 19. The theme of this year’s event is Emotional Competency: The Next Frontier of Human Development, according to the NAACP. “As we face emerging threats around our health and wellbeing, we recognize the need to stay vigilant and equipped with information,” Derrick Johnson, president and CEO of NAACP, said in a statement. The first day of the event will include the Resource Fair, held at Mission Plaza in downtown San Luis Obispo, on Saturday, June 18, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event’s keynote speaker is Deborah Newmark, executive director of The Children’s Project. Live music will be provided by jazz ensemble Mo Better Jazz, featuring vocalist Deborah Gilmore, and Nipomo’s Legendary House of Prayer Choir. The celebration concludes on Sunday, June 19, with a private screening and panel discussion of the 2021 film Passing. Tickets to the screening and discussion—held at the SLO Public Market, starting at 3 p.m.—are available at juneteenthslo.com. Food will be served by Jay Birds and Vege on the Edge during this segment of the event.

Gallery at Marina Square announces featured artists for June exhibits

On Saturday, June 11, Gallery at Marina Square in Morro Bay will hold an opening reception to celebrate its three featured artists for the month of June. The gallery will be showcasing artworks by fiber artist Debbie Gedayloo, acrylic painter Ji Li, and mixed media painter Stevie Chun through Thursday, June 30. Gedayloo’s primary medium of choice is wool, and she often employs wet felting or needle felting techniques. “I love the tactile nature of the fibers and their ability to lend themselves to both the realistic and the playful,” Gedayloo said in press materials from Gallery at Marina Square. Li was born in China and lived in England for several years before moving to California in 2016. She mainly paints landscapes, seascapes, and pet portraits. Chun uses watercolor and other media to depict “autobiographical experiences,” including “the ecstasies of my life and the struggles of trying to understand the world around me,” she said.

The Live Oak Way

COURTESY PHOTOS BY GARY ROBERTSHAW

The family-friendly music fest is back

or many families and music fans, the Live Oak Music Festival has been a multi-year and multi-generational tradition—one that for the past two years has been disrupted thanks to a global pandemic. Now it will return live and in person from June 17 through 19 at El Chorro Regional Park, just off Highway 1 across from Cuesta College. The first Live Oak Fest was a one-day affair at Biddle Park, near Arroyo Grande, in 1989. The following year, it moved to Camp San Marcos off Highway 154, about 80 minutes south of San Luis Obispo, where it remained for 28 years—long enough for Camp San Marcos to be renamed Live Oak Camp. Finally, in 2019, the festival returned to SLO and its new home at El Chorro … and then the next year COVID-19 changed everything. The event—the main annual fundraiser for local National Public Radio affiliate KCBX 90.1FM—went virtual the past two years as “Live Oak on the Radio,” and as fun as it was listening to recordings of old Live Oak performances as well as live music broadcasts, it was no replacement for the camaraderie of the real thing. Since tickets went on sale a couple of months ago, RV hookup sites and oversize vehicle (22plus feet) parking passes sold out, so now only under-22-foot vehicles and tent camping passes remain, as well as single day tickets for the day-trippers. “It used to be the majority [of attendees] were tent camping, and now the majority are not tent camping,” noted Live Oak Marketing Coordinator Sarah Maggelet. “There are a lot more RVs rolling in and vans.” She estimates that all camping passes may sell out this year. “I have a feeling people are going to be

KIDS STUFF Kids of all ages can find fun activities at Live Oak, returning to El Chorro Regional Park on Father’s Day weekend, June 17 through 19.

MUSIC Live music on two stages runs all day at the Live Oak Music Festival. Orkestra Akokán entertained the day crowd in 2019, the last time the festival was in person.

Buy your tickets!

The Live Oak Music Festival returns to El Chorro Regional Park June 17 through 19. RV hookups and large vehicle (22-feet and bigger) passes are sold out. Camping passes for tent and smaller than 22-foot vehicles are going fast, but there are still plenty of day passes available.

disappointed if they wait much longer. I anticipate we’ll have day tickets available, but we could sell out of those too. We never have before in 34 years, but this year is very different.” Let’s face it: People are tired of being cooped up, and the thought of gathering with friends and family over the Father’s Day weekend in a beautiful grassy campground to listen to music sounds grand.

Ch-ch-changes

The festival has only been at its new digs once, but organizers learned a lot that first year and have adapted accordingly. One reason for the reduced number of large vehicle passes is that “Acreage-wise, there is a little less [space],” Maggelet explained, “but we created some new tent-only areas, and we have some new areas in which to camp. “All told, we’re down about 1 acre of camping area,” she continued. “We’re trying to encourage more people to tent camp, and we do have room for that. There’s even a place where you can hike up the hill, and it’s a walk-in-only tent camping area. We’re calling it Campo Alto as kind of an homage to the old location,” Maggelet said. At Camp Live Oak, they had a hike-in-only spot called Campo Alto. “They did that for many years,” Maggelet recalled, “and then things started to get a little crazy up there because there was a lot less visibility and a lot less security. My understanding—and I was not up there—but things were getting a little spicy! So, the festival decided to change that to the long-term parking. That’s why we named this spot on the hill Campo Alto as a fun little recognition to that part of Live Oak history.” Those at the 2019 festival may recall the overflow camping on a fairway of Dairy Creek Golf Course. That’s no longer available, so the

festival had to get creative with space. But honestly, the overflow area felt so remote from the rest of the festival that it was less than ideal. Also, at the old camp off Highway 154, concertgoers were funneled through the vendor area to reach the stage, but not at El Chorro in 2019. Vendors reported less business. Did they find a way to remedy this? “We definitely heard that, and we absolutely honored that feedback,” Maggelet said. “We learned so much after 2019, and then we had way too much time to think about it because we couldn’t do it for two years, but we redesigned the main stage area where all patrons will flow in through a large gate closest to Highway 1, and it’s basically a march past not only the craft, art, and merchandise vendors but also the food vendors. We figured that part out, and I think it’s going to make a huge difference for those vendors.” Aside from that, things are pretty much the same. Just like the past few years, Todd and Korie Newman of Good Medicine Presents worked with the festival to book the performers. Considering the last two years of lockdown, it was … let’s say “different” than years past. “It was a struggle,” Maggelet admitted. “If you talk to anybody in the music industry now, all these bands had basically zero income for the last two years, so they’re having to charge a little more, and they have to be a little more cutthroat with the gigs they take. I know it was very challenging this year.” Live Oak is a fundraiser for a nonprofit, so its budget is limited. They lost out on some performers because they got outbid. “We can’t offer top dollar to these performers,” Maggelet said. “We do it as competitively as we can, but we had a couple of performers who got a better deal and reneged. It was challenging to say the least. We didn’t even get our last headliner, Los Lobos, until about a month ago. Usually, we have the lineup completely in the can by January.”

Book ’em, Dan-o

“It’s definitely a competitive environment for booking,” Good Medicine’s Todd Newman agreed. “I think it’s the combination of two LIVE OAK continued page 28

things. You have a lot of musicians out looking for opportunities, but you also have this awakening of all these events happening at the same time.” Touring is trickier, too, according to Newman. Municipalities have various COVID-19 regulations, and various performers have their own internal protocols, and then you have acts like Jamaican reggae band Third World that will be traveling internationally. “To Live Oak’s credit, thanks to their heritage and the community that it embodies, artists are definitely interested in working with the Live Oak Music Festival,” Newman continued. “You always feel the pressure putting together a lineup that will please the community. I think this is our fifth year booking the festival, and this was definitely the most complicated. Given the complexities of COVID and coming out of COVID, it was certainly more challenging than in the past.” It’s not like we’re out of the pandemic, but between high vaccination rates and the fact that the festival is outside, for many patrons, it feels relatively safe. “In the age of COVID, outdoor events are more readily acceptable by the general public,” Newman explained. “I’m not a COVID expert, but if you read the many different sources of information that come down the pipe, outdoor settings seem to be less prone to transmission.” For the Newman family, including their two adorable rug rats, missing two years of the festival has been tough.

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL Night owls can find live music and activities until midnight, and the music lineup this year is outstanding, from multiGrammy Award-winning rockers Los Lobos on Friday, to Grammynominated Jamaican reggae fusion act Third World on Saturday, to iconic Americana singer-songwriter and Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame member Robert Earl Keen on Sunday.

“In my family’s perspective, what the Live Oak Music Festival has offered to this community is truly unparalleled,” Newman said. “The communion that happens—in retrospect of what we’ve all been through the last two and a half years—is really unprecedented. COVID has changed a lot [of normal activites], but this grassroots community that gets together at the Live Oak Music Festival is very representative about what we love most about San Luis Obispo County.” Both Newman and Maggelet wanted to reiterate that the festival has a good chance of selling out. “If you’re interested in coming, I’d say get your tickets now,” Newman said. “Just as a reminder, it did sell out in advance in 2019.” “There is some urgency,” Maggelet added. “If people are on the fence, they

“This is a great Father’s Day, multigenerational event. It’s a wonderful way to treat dad and grandpa and get extended family together. You can do it with your family, and your kids are so safe, well taken care of, and so occupied that it’s almost like you’re out on a date night, just you and your husband.

NEED FOR SPEED Tom Cruise reprises his role as U.S. Navy aviator Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, in Top Gun: Maverick, screening in local theaters.

oseph Kosinski (Oblivion, Only the Brave) directs this sequel to Top Gun (1986), which was about Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise), a gifted but unorthodox and insubordinate Navy pilot who nonetheless becomes a hero. Now after more than 30 years as one of the Navy’s top pilots, Maverick’s called back to Top Gun flight school to teach a new generation of brash, upstart Naval aviators what it takes to be the best. (131 min.)

Glen Top Gun: Maverick is absolutely ridiculous and absolutely awesome! This is the sequel that Top Gun deserves. It took 36 years to make it to the big screen, and believe it or not, it was worth the wait. It gives you everything you liked about the original, but bigger and better. Tom Cruise swaggering around like a badass? Check! Crazy good aerial combat scenes? Unbelievably good! Patriotic notions of service and derring-do? Hells yeah! Romance, drama, and sweaty shirtless dudes playing sports? In spades, baby! Of course, the story is deeply contrived, and reality is barely a second thought, but man, this script pushed all the right emotional buttons. It also uses a few scenes and still photos from the original to remind you of the backstory. Despite 30-plus years in the service, Maverick never rose beyond a captain. He’d have been discharged years before, but Adm. Tom “Iceman” Kazansky (Val Kilmer) has protected this former rival. Now Maverick’s tasked with training a dozen of the Navy’s best pilots for an impossible bombing mission to take out an underground uranium enrichment facility located in treacherous terrain protected by a battery of surface-to-air missiles and “fifth-generation” fighter jets in an unnamed rogue nation. Can Maverick teach these overly competitive hotshots to work as a team? Anna Oh man, nostalgia is turned up to 11 with this one! It has all the things that make the first Top Gun a total ’80s

Bay, Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10, Sunset Drive-In classic but also gives us a new, albeit ridiculous, storyline. Maverick can’t get over his guilt or grief over Goose’s death, and Goose’s son, Rooster (Miles Teller), can’t forgive or forget the man who was alongside his father when he died. There’s a cocky rivalry for the team leader position between Rooster and Hangman (Glen Powell). The cast is fun too: nerdalert Bob (Lewis Pullman), love interest Penny (Jennifer Connelly), Maverickhating Adm. Simpson (Jon Hamm), and a whole cast of other characters that bring this over-the-top story to life. It’s that kind of ride-the-edge-of-your-seat fun that big screens are meant for. I’m not going to lie: I have my doubts when it comes to Tom Cruise as an actual person, but the dude is meant for this type of role. He’s totally ripped, has an ego for days, and can conjure emotion from me at the drop of a dime. Impressive to say the least! I can’t knock this one. Sure, it’s big and ridiculous, but I had nothing but fun watching every minute of it. Glen Teller is terrific as Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw. Like his film dad,

Goose (Anthony Edwards), in the 1986 original, he takes a turn at the piano to play “Great Balls of Fire” in The Hard Deck, the aviators’ favorite bar. There’s even a flashback to the original scene when Rooster was a little boy watching his dad sing to his mom (Meg Ryan), just don’t do the math because that would make Rooster about 41 years old in the sequel. Teller (35) has a Robert Mitchum vibe and looks like Edwards in 1986 original, right down to the cheesy mustache. Great casting! Yes, it’s easy to pick the film apart. It exists in a world when the Navy gives Maverick his own airplane hangar to live in, where California motorcycle helmet requirements don’t exist, and where the laws of physics are mere recommendations, but damn, what a ride! Anna Let’s not bring math into this one. Why ruin a perfectly good time? I will say, the mom in me was absolutely screaming, “Wear a helmet!” in every motorcycle scene, but I get it. Cruise and Connelly deserve to have great looking hair. The dogfights are amazing, the romance is sweet, and the characters are super endearing too. Also, everyone in this film is incredibly good looking. See it in the theater. Δ Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and freelancer Anna Starkey write Split Screen. Glen compiles streaming listings.

he things we do to keep feminism alive, am I right? Joyce has wished and dreamed of publishing her own women’s liberation magazine since she was a wee tot; her pages and pages (and pages and pages!) of essays, diatribes, and rants are waiting in the wings for her big moment. When no one seems interested in her great idea, Joyce begrudgingly agrees to get creative and

go into biz with a man she can barely stand, let alone work with. Doug (Jake Johnson) is crass, rude, and tangled up in the very thing she’s fighting against—the objectification and exploitation of women. But when the two turn the narrative on its head, Joyce realizes that she may be able to make what she hates in this world work for her while also giving the world a dose of male eye-candy along the way. Lovibond is a wonderful lead, at times uppity but in the next moment a clever fox making what she knows will work for her. Johnson has a knack for everyman charm, and it shines through here.

It’s an insightful and frank look at “the dean of counterculture comedians.” Part 1 examines his childhood, early radio days, transition to TV, his long and sometimes uneven marriage to Brenda Carlin and the birth of their child Kelly, his soaring career thanks to comedy albums, his notorious “seven dirty words” bit, his drug use and how it led to his transformation, finally ending with what looked like a descent into irrelevancy.

Musical chameleon Joe Jackson plays the Fremont

RACONTEUR Country singersongwriter Jon Wolfe brings his narrative songs to The Siren on June 3.

xcuse me while I age myself. When Joe Jackson released his debut album Look Sharp! in 1979, I was a high school junior, and the album was a revelation. I listened to it more times than I could count. “Is She Really Going Out with Him?” “Fools in Love.” What teenage boy didn’t know and understand exactly what Jackson was singing about? He followed up his debut three months later with I’m the Man, essentially a Part Two to Look Sharp! It was filled with more amazingly hooky New Wave tracks that became teenage anthems to my surf buds and me. We’d sing along at the top of our lungs and get amped for a surf session. We had to wait until the following October in 1980 for Jackson to blow our collective minds with Beat Crazy, which shifted away from the first two albums into reggae and ska influences. I credit Jackson—and Elvis Costello—with expanding my horizons beyond The Cars, Sex Pistols, and The Clash. Joe Jackson has always been a musical moving target. In 1981, he released Jumpin’ Jive, filled with classic jump blues tracks by Cab Calloway, Louis Jordan, and Busby Meyers. He got supper club jazzy on Night and Day. It sort of felt like Jackson was either mirroring or leading my musical expansion and awakening. He’s one of my early musical heroes I’ve never seen live, which is why I’m stoked Joe Jackson plays the Fremont Theater this Tuesday, June 7 (8 p.m.; $56.50 to $81.50 at eventbrite.com) as part of his “Sing, You Sinners” tour. His band includes people on his last album, 2019’s Fool: Graham Maby (bass, vocals), Teddy Kumpel (guitar, vocals), and Doug Yowell (drums, vocals, electronics). “The show will feature both the full band and a ‘mini set’ of Joe solo,” organizers said. “The songs will be drawn from Joe’s whole career, including some that haven’t been heard live in many years. Watch out also for some surprises, including some completely new material. The tour will take the band to some cities Joe has never been or hasn’t played for a long time.” I’m there! Also at the Fremont, it isn’t music, but comedian Eddie Griffin will perform on Friday, June 3 (8 p.m.; $56.50 to $88 at eventbrite.com). The actor known for Undercover Brother, Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo, and Norbit, as well as his stand-up comedy specials, will bring the hilarity. Don’t forget Paramount’s Laser Spectacular featuring the Music of Pink Floyd happens on Thursday, June 2 (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $31.50 to $41.50 at eventbrite.com). Expect a laser show choreographed to the music of Pink Floyd.

LOOK SHARP! Ultra-versatile Joe Jackson plays the Fremont Theater on June 7, drawing from a catalog spanning more than four decades.

The storyteller

A lot of the best country music songs are narrative, telling stories about killing a man in Reno, Lucille picking a fine time to leave, or lights going out in Georgia. Add Jon Wolfe to this fine tradition. In “That Girl In Texas,” the protagonist wakes up “not feeling right,” and “it wasn’t the beer” he “drank last night.” Nope. “I miss those Saturday nights and honky-tonks and rodeos/ The way the sun sets in the hills of San Antonio/ Her beautiful smile, bright blue eyes/ Holdin’ her close in the moonlight/ What I miss most is/ That girl in Texas.” Numbskull and Good Medicine present Jon Wolfe at The Siren on Friday, June 3 (8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $15 presale at eventbrite.com). “At heart, it’s all about being a great singer and storyteller,” Wolfe explained in press materials.

Marley and Marley

Bob Marley’s legacy will be on display this weekend when Stephen Marley plays Vina Robles Amphitheatre on Saturday, June 4 (8 p.m.; $39.50 to $49.50 at ticketmaster.com), with Stephen’s nephew and Bob’s grandson Skip Marley opening. In this rescheduled concert—part of Stephen’s 2022 Babylon by Bus Summer Tour—the eight-time Grammy Awardwinning singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist plays with his band during a 20date run that “will showcase a mixture of original songs from his illustrious 40-year PHOTO COURTESY OF STEPHEN MARLEY

career, as well as revitalized classics from his father Bob Marley’s iconic catalog,” press materials explain. A dollar from each ticket benefits the Ghetto Youths Foundation that provides aid, resources, and opportunities to communities in need, “including his father’s birthplace of Trenchtown, Jamaica, where nearly 100 percent of the population lives below the poverty line.”

They taught him all their tips and tricks, like storing leftover bacon fat to cook with throughout the week. “They would cook everything with that, it was like this incredible seasoning,” Bogsinske remembers. “I was probably like 8 or 9 years old before I realized that everyone doesn’t cook their eggs with SIMPLE DONE RIGHT Jay Bird’s that.” Chicken owner and chef Jay Bogsinske A “mutt of the world,” as he calls left a career in fine French dining to himself, Bogsinske’s mix of Dutch, pursue a cuisine that’s less pretentious Italian, Irish, and Jordanian heritage and more down to Earth, he said. gave him an appreciation for food diversity at a young age.

Every item on the menu at Jay Hot chicken is a local specialty of Bird’s Chicken, which opened in the SLO Nashville, Tennessee, another formative Public Market earlier this year, revolves around one thing done right: Nashville place in Bogsinske’s culinary upbringing.

CLAIM TO FAME If you’re in the mood for a classic, you can’t go wrong with Jay Bird’s Nashville hot chicken sandwich.

The dish originated in Nashville’s Black chicken on a sliding scale of spiciness, communities, and Prince’s Hot Chicken from Plain Jay to Fire.

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 should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the

CITY OF GROVER BEACH NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Grover Beach will conduct Public Hearings at 6:00 p.m., or soon thereafter, on Monday, June 13, 2022 in City Hall, Council Chambers, 154 South Eighth Street, Grover Beach, CA to consider the following items: SUBJECTS: PROPOSED Rate Adjustment Request from South County Sanitary Service – Under the terms of the Franchise Agreement with South County Sanitary Service the City Council will consider a rate adjustment request from South County Sanitary Service for properties and customers receiving solid waste, recycling, and green waste services within the City. The Proposed Rate Increase is 22.19 percent for solid waste, recycling, and green waste/organics collection services. In addition, there will be a 5.12 percent increase to recover revenue lost due to this rate increase being delayed from May 1, 2022 to June 15, 2022. This recovery component will expire January 1, 2023. Several factors contributed to this rate increase including, but not limited to: increase costs associated with the purchase and operation of collection vehicles, fuel costs, labor costs, and increased costs associated with the organics digestor facility. For example, residential customers would see the following increase: 32-gallon container from the current rate of $17.65 to $22.47 per month; 64-gallon container from the current rate of $23.85 to $30.36 per month; 96-gallon container from the current rate of $30.03 to $38.23 per month; Two 64-gallon containers from the current rate of $36.24 to $46.13 per month; One 64-gallon and one 96-gallon container from $42.43 to $54.01 per month; and Two 96-gallon containers from $48.63 to $61.91 per month. Commercial customers would see the following increase: 32-gallon container from the current rate of $23.24 to $29.59 per month; 64-gallon container from the current rate of $42.26 to $53.80 per month; 96-gallon container from the current rate of $52.83 to $67.26 per month; Re-deliver bin to stopped account from the current rate $39.44 to $50.21 per month. In addition, commencing on January 1, 2023, and January 1, 2024, South County Sanitary Services is proposing that all rates shall be increased based on the following: 1. Increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Bureau of Labor Statistics’ CPI for Urban Consumers based on All U.S. City Average, Bureau of Labor Statistics for the month of June 2022 for January 1, 2023, and June 2023 for January 1, 2024; 2. Changes in pass-through costs (primarily landfill tipping fees, which SCSS does not control: they are set by the County Board of Supervisors); 3. An adjustment to cover increased franchise fees. At the March 9, 2022, San Luis Obispo County Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) Board Meeting, a 5.4% solid waste management fee was adopted to account for operational and capital cost increases due largely to the implementation of SB 1383. SB 1383 is a recent state law passed with the goal of reducing methane. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with more than 80 time the warming power of carbon dioxide and is a major component of decomposing organic waste. Key components of SB 1383 include implementing organic waste collection programs (including food waste), monitoring organic carts for contamination, and reporting data. The IWMA is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) formed to plan and implement regional solid waste and hazardous waste programs mandated by State law. The JPA between the City of San Luis Obispo and the IWMA can be made available by the City upon request or on the IWMA website at www.iwma.com. A copy of the 2022 Base Year Rate Adjustment Application, which provides additional information on the proposed rate increases, is available at the City Clerk’s Office located at Grover Beach City Hall located at 154 South Eighth Street, Grover Beach. Where You Come In: Any member of the public may appear at the meeting and be heard on the item described in this notice or submit written comments to the City Clerk prior to the meeting by personal delivery or by mail to: City Clerk’s Office, 154 South Eighth Street, Grover Beach, CA 93433.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: If there were a clone of you, what alternate life might they be living? Newsletter.freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Who loves the truth better than you Aries people? Who has the greatest potential to speak the real story in every situation, even when it requires extra courage? Who has more fun than you in discovering and defining and expressing the raw facts? In my Book of Life, you Rams are radiant beacons of candor—the people I go to when I need accuracy and honesty. And all I’m saying here will be especially crucial in the coming weeks. The whole world needs concentrated doses of your authenticity. Now read this pep talk from Aries philosopher St. Catherine of Siena: “Let the truth be your delight; let it always be in your mouth, and proclaim it when it is needed. Proclaim it lovingly and to everyone, especially those you love with a special love—but with a certain congeniality.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Before the 20th century, you couldn’t buy a loaf of bread that was already sliced into thin pieces. Then in 1912, the American inventor Otto Frederick Rohwedder developed a slicing machine. But all his work, including the blueprints and the machine prototypes, was destroyed in a fire. He had to seek new funding and begin again. Sixteen years later, his innovation was finally ready for broad public use. Within five years, most of the bread in the U.S. was sold sliced. What does this have to do with you? I am picking up an Otto Frederick Rohwedder vibe when I turn my visions to you, Taurus. I suspect that in the coming months, you, too, will fulfill a postponed dream.

SPECIAL PUBLICATION

MID-STATE FAIR BOOK ADS BY: July 15, 2022

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A blogger named Sweetlikeacherry reminds us, “Some epiphanies are only possible when you put away your phone and go completely offline for a while.” She adds that sometimes you also need to at least partially avoid your phone and the internet if you hope to incubate new visions of the future and unlock important discoveries in your creative work and summon your untamed genius. According to my astrological analysis, all these possibilities are especially likely and necessary for you in the coming weeks. I trust you will carry out the necessary liberations to take full advantage.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Poet Carolyn Kizer (1925-2014) won a Pulitzer Prize for her poetry. She was smart! But when she was young and still studying her craft in college, a professor objected to one of her poems. He said, “You have pigs in this poem; pigs are not poetic.” Kizer was incensed at such ignorance. She testified, “I got up and walked out of that class and never went back.” Judging from the astrological omens, I suspect you may have comparable showdowns headed your way. I advise you to be like Kizer. You are the only one who truly knows the proper subjects of your quest. No one else has the right or the insight to tell you what your work (or play) should be about.

LEO

PUBLICATION DATE: July 21, 2022

JULY 20–31, 2022

(July 23-Aug. 22): Leo author James Baldwin said it wasn’t often “that two people can laugh and make love, too—make love because they are laughing and laugh because they’re making love. The love and the laughter come from the same place: but not many people go there.” Your assignment, Leo, is to be the exception to Baldwin’s rule during the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, there’s a high possibility that interesting eros can converge with humorous fun in a glorious synergy. You will have a knack for conjuring up ribald encounters and jovial orgasms. Your intuition will guide you to shed the solemnity from your bliss and replace it with sunny, carefree cheer.

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m worried you will over-indulge in your pursuit of perfection during the coming weeks. It’s fine to be exquisitely skillful and masterful; I hope you do that. But if you get obsessed with flawlessness, you will risk undoing your good intentions. As an antidote, I offer you two pieces of advice. The first is from actor and activist Jane Fonda. She said, “We are not meant to be perfect; we are meant

to be whole.” The second counsel is from philosopher and psychologist William James, who wrote, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Author Mustafa Mahmoud described the signs of love between two people: 1. feeling a comfortable familiarity; 2. having no urge or need to lie; 3. being natural, not trying to be different from who one is; 4. having little or no possibility of being embarrassed in front of the other person; 5. experiencing silence as delicious, not alienating; 6. enjoying the act of listening to the other person. I bring these pointers to your attention, Libra, because the coming months will be a favorable time to define and redefine your understandings about the signs of love. How do you feel about Mahmoud’s ideas? Are there any more you would like to add?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “We do not love each other without changing each other,” wrote author Madeleine L’Engle. Meditate on that gem, Scorpio. Now is a perfect time for you and your loved ones to acknowledge, honor, and celebrate the ways your love has changed each other. It may be true that some transformations have been less than ideal. If that’s the case, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to correct those trends. As for the positive changes that you and your allies have stimulated in each other: I hope you will name them and pledge to keep doing more of that good work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I always deserve the best treatment, because I never put up with any other,” wrote Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen. Sagittarian politician Stacey Abrams said, “From the moment I enter a room, I am clear about how I intend to be treated and how I intend to engage.” You’ll be wise to cultivate those attitudes in the next seven weeks, Sagittarius. It’s high time for you to raise your self-respect in ways that inspire others to elevate their appreciation and regard for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1963, Jim Munro and Alice Munro founded Munro’s Books, a store in Victoria, British Columbia. After being on the job for a few months, Alice found she was not impressed with many of the products they sold. “I can write better books than this,” she told Jim. Five years later, she published her first collection of short stories, Dance of the Happy Shades. Fourteen books later, she won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Will the coming months bring your equivalent of Alice Munro’s pivotal resolution? I suspect they could.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “True love for whatever you are doing is the answer to everything,” proclaimed performance artist Marina Abramovic. Amen to that righteous attitude! I hope you will embrace it in the coming weeks. I hope your heart and imagination will reveal all you need to know to bring tender fresh streams of true love to the essential activities of your life. Now is an excellent time to redefine the meaning of the word “love” so it applies to all your relationships and pursuits.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A homeless woman in a wheelchair stopped where I was sitting outside a café. She was pushing her belongings in a small shopping cart. “Would you like to go dancing?” she said to me. “There’s a nearby park that has a great grassy dance floor.” “Maybe another day,” I told her. “My energy is low. I’ve had a lot of personal challenges lately.” I’m sure the expression on my face was less-thanebullient. “Cheer up, mister,” she told me. “I’m psychic, and I can tell you for sure that you will live a long life and have many more fine adventures. I’ll be in the park if you change your mind.” My mood instantly brightened. “Thanks!” I yelled toward her as she rolled away. Now I predict that you, Pisces, will have comparable experiences in the coming days. Are you willing to welcome uplifting surprises? ∆
