Not unlike plasticbags banned in SLO in 2012, the foamseparates into non-biodegradabledebris that migrate into the food chain.Bans on the packaging materialpopularly used in restaurant takeoutcontainers have gained tractionnationwide. In March a group of localsshowed up at meetings throughoutSLO County asking the Central Coast tofollow suit.A list of the cities and links to theirordinances is available online at:www.cawrecycles.org/issues/plastic_campaign/polystyrene/local.In a report, City staff developed fourideas for possible bans.

4 • September 4 - 10, 2014 • SLO City NewsCOMMUNITY50% OFF1st Month’s RentGood Through September 2014Styrofoam, from page 1degree with the first targeting food anddrink containers and the fourth evengoing after foam ice chests and toys.While many area restaurants havevoluntarily switched to more ecofriendlycontainers, some Styrofoamuses persist due to the superiorinsulation or storage offered by thematerial.Restaurants also have issues withcosts or a lack of alternatives that willdo the same job in specialty operations.Using the term “expandedpolystyrene” or “EPS” interchangeablywith the trademark, Styrofoam,the City looked at the 80 Californiacommunities that ban the sale of thematerial and did some poking aroundof its own through available research.“Most agencies,” the staff reported,“cite in their ordinances theenvironmental and potential healtheffects of EPS as a basis for regulation.EPS is made of non-renewablepetroleum products and manufacturedwith a monomer called Styrene, whichmay have adverse effects on humanhealth. EPS food and drink containershave been shown to leach thispotentially carcinogenic chemical intofood and drinks when heated or whencoming into contact with hot foods.”If the City does pursue a ban, thematerial’s use in restaurants and onsale in local stores, would be in line withthe “SLO Climate Action Plan,” whichmakes it a priority that the City divertwaste from the landfill where possible.The report notes that the City, “doesnot currently have data on the amountof EPS present in our storm drains orcreeks, but can consider some methodsof documentation during the next CreekDay.” ✤HELPWANTEDWE NEED A STYLISTWHO KNOWS THEIR STUFF.Conflicts, from page 1for nearly three months to get clearadvice on how the new guidelines wouldaffect a City in SLO’s position. As well,she contacted the League of CaliforniaCities to raise the issue of how generalplan updates, affecting large areas ofthe community and in which a majorityof council members have property,should be treated.“To be honest,” she said. “I don’t thinkvery many cities would have thought toask. They would have assumed that therules were essentially the same. We’rein this position because we asked theFPPC out of thoroughness and caution.”Never-the-less, the City Clerk’s Officewas contacted last Wednesday morningby the FPPC’s Enforcement Divisionto evaluate a complaint filed againstAshbaugh.“There’s a misinterpretation of theFPPC’s ruling behind that,” Ashbaughsaid. “I have one property, on theother side of the City, my home. I haveabsolutely no foreseeable financialissues around the airport. It wouldhave been an abandonment of myresponsibilities as a city official to stepaside from the entire LUCE process.”He added that the only involvementthat residents in his neighborhood havewith the airport is that they occasionallysee, but don’t hear, the planes.“The real issue here,” Ashbaugh said,“is that an appointed body [the AirportLand Use Commission] is trying tohamstring the City’s ability to controlour own borders and neighborhoods.What you saw on Tuesday was the threeof us [Mayor Jan Marx, CouncilwomanCarlyn Christianson, and Ashbaugh]speaking very passionately with onevoice.”To finalize it’s overruling of theCommission at a future date, it wasthought that the City needed a fourfifthsvote of the Council, which wouldrequire the presence of either Carpenteror Smith.However, Dietrick has cited a 1992Attorney General’s opinion that if threeof four or all three members presentvote to overrule the Airport Land UseCommission, then the a two-thirdsmajority of the (three person) quorumrule is satisfied.Making matters slightly simpler inthe future, the FPPC has returned goodnews from the City’s point of view,concluding that Smith does not haveany conflict and may also participate inthe airport area decisions.While City planners have been quiteblatant that the desire to overturn theCommission’s judgment stems fromplans to increase development densityand annex properties near the airport,they must still justify the change to theCalifornia Division of Aeronautics.One of the several fatal crashesto take place in the safety zone theCommission has enforced since the1970s happened on the San Luis Ranchproperty. Formerly called the “Dalidioproperty,” the current owner would liketo increase residential density on a new,proposed development project. ✤BEARD NOT REQUIRED.

Postal Workers Asking For Support AgainBy Camas FrankSLO City News • September 4 - 10, 2014 • 5NEWSThe National Associationof Letter Carriers (NALC)is working all of its localconnections, which to the publicmeans Postal Service employeesthat deliver 6-days a week, seekingsome activism in their defense.A letter from NALC President,Fredric V. Rolando, said, “WhenCongress returns from recess onSept. 9, it will be business as usual,which means more proposals toreduce jobs and services at USPS.”What he’s referring to is aproposal by Postmaster General,Pat Donahoe, to close or consolidateup to 82 mail processing facilitiesand eliminate up to 15,000 jobs inthe 2015 fiscal year.NALC Branch No. 52 CaliforniaCentral Coast representative, JoeGibson, was able to secure somesupport from the SLO City Councilwith a Resolution back in February,but now the organization is reachingout to citizens to lobby other electedofficials.Gibson is asking SLO residents toget in touch with CongresswomanLois Capps and encourage her tojoin a, “‘Dear Colleague’ letter toHouse appropriators, urging themto preserve First Class mail deliverystandards by implementing a oneyearmoratorium on closures, whileCongress considers comprehensivepostal reform.”Reps. David Joyce (R-Ohio),Ron Kind (D-Wisconsin), PeterKing (R-New York), Peter DeFazio(D-Oregon), Frank LoBiondo (R-NY), Gerry Connolly (D-Virginia),Michael Grimm (R-NY),Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NewMexico), Michael Fitzpatrick(R-Pennsylvania) and MattCartwright (D-Penn.) are circulatingthe letter.They’re also backing H.R. 711, abill that calls on Congress, “to takeall appropriate measures to ensurecontinuation of door deliveryfor all business and residentialcustomers.”In asking for the public’s help,Gibson wrote, “I have beenpersonally lobbying Rep. Capps’office for the past week, but herstaff has not confirmed with me yetthat she is on this letter. Lois needsto hear from you, her constituentson this issue. We don’t have to cutservice and eliminate jobs to savethe Postal Service.”Capps’ office could not bereached for comment. However, asimilar letter backing the one-yearmoratorium had gained signaturesfrom half of the Senate by mid–August, including both CaliforniaSenators.The postal system has facedcriticism for two decades as beingunprofitable in the face of emailand modern communications.However, most business analystsplace its funding woes at the feetof the “Postal Accountability andEnhancement Act of 2006” aCongressional mandate to pre-fundhealthcare benefits for 75 yearsof future retirees over a 10-yearperiod, which the CongressionalBudget Office estimated to be a $5.5billion a year liability.While many companies andmunicipalities, including SLO, haveworries over pension liabilities, noother federal agency has ever facedthis requirement. ✤

There were a lot of songs writtenabout schools and school days: coolschools (be true to your school); schoolis out (can’t wait for summer), schoolis in (summer is over); school life (justgetting through it). If you want to knowwhat high school was like in the 50’s,other than watching the flick “TheBlackboard Jungle,” you could tune into Chuck Berry’s “School Days:”“Up in the mornin’ and out to school,the teacher is teachin’ the golden rule;American history and practical math,you studyin’ hard and hopin’ to pass;workin’ your fingers right down to thebone, and the guy behind you won’tleave you alone.Ring, ring goes the bell, the cook inthe lunch room’s ready to sell; you’relucky if you can find a seat, you’refortunate if you have time to eat; backin the classroom, open your books, peepup the teacher don’t know how meanshe looks. Soon as three o’clock rollsaround, you finally lay your burdendown; close up your books, get out ofyour seat, down the halls and into thestreet; up to the corner and ‘round thebend, right to the juke joint, you go in.Drop the coin right into the slot, yougotta hear somethin’ that’s really hot;with the one you love, you’re makin’romance, all daylong you beenwantin’ to dance,feeling the musicfrom head totoe, round andround and roundyou go. Hail, hailrock and roll,deliver me fromthe days of old,long live rockand roll, the beatof the drums,loud and bold,rock, rock, rockand roll, the feelin’is there, bodyand soul.” Wellexpressed, Chuck.There is onlyone artist I couldfind that wrote andproduced a song about school is out,and school is in three months later.Same intro, same beat, practically thesame tune. Gary U.S. Bonds in Juneof ’62: “A-one, a-two, a-one two threefour, no more books and studies, and Ican stay out late with my buddies, I cando the things that I want to do, ‘causeall my exams are through; I can rootfor the Yankees from the bleachers,and don’t have to worry ‘bout teachers,I’m so glad that school is out, I couldsing and shout! (School is out)Everybody’s gonna have some fun,(School is out) Everybody’s gonnajump and run, (School is out) Come onpeople don’t you be late, (School is out)I just got time to take my girl out ona date; school is out at last and I’m soglad I passed, so everybody come andgo with me! We’re gonna have a nightwith Daddy G! Go Daddy! That’s great!Let’s celebrate! With a little bit of soulnow! Oh yeah! The party’s here!”September ’62: “A-one, a-two,A-one, two, three, four, nowI’m so glad that school is innow I can see my old classmates again; Iworked and slaved the summer through,doing the things my mother told me todo; I washed the dishes and scrubbedthe floor, and taught the baby how tocount to four, I made the beds and cutthe grass, I’m glad that school is in at last(School is in) Don’t you know it, (Schoolis in) yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, (Schoolis in) don’t forget it, I’m a witness(School is in) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah;Now vacation time has come to an endnow I got to get back to my studies again,and make the grades so I can pass, I’mglad that school s in at last; now youmay think I’m nutty and telling you lies,but I’m going out now to buy my schoolsupplies; this semester’s gonna be a gas‘cause school is in at last.”80 5 sound

Whether they are Companionanimals, Therapy animals, or our comfortingcat that loves to sit on our keyboardas we type, animals benefit ourhealth in a variety of ways.According to National Research forWomen and Families, “Over 71 millionAmerican households (62%) have apet, and most people think of their petsas members of the family. Some researchstudies have found that peoplewho have a pet have healthier hearts;stay home sick less often, make fewervisits to the doctor, get more exercise,and are less depressed. Pets may alsohave a significant impact on allergies,asthma, social support, and social interactionswith other people.” (hp://bit.ly/1q8ZbPN )Therapy animals have been very beneficialto people who suffer from anxiety,depression, PTSD, and a range ofpsychological and physiological challenges.They respond to their owner’sspike in heart rate, anxiety levels, andwhere they sense that their owner hasbeen triggered. Being attentive andtrained to respond, they bring levels offear and anxiety down to a manageablelevel.

She taught me to look at thingsdifferently, she would tell me everythingbeautiful about everything you see. Itwasn’t about what you see but what youcan see”, said Joseph.Joseph also credits a lot of her recentlearning and expanding knowledge tofellow photographer Lance Kinney. “Hehas been a mentor for me” says Joseph.Joseph shows her work at many placeson the Central Coast.

Yearning for its sweetcure to make me forget. Because here,n the rat race of Los Angeles, sadness was aiability. Questions, a threat. I needed themumbed out. Now.The final ramp down the freeway took meo warehouses and run-down apartments.evel 0. Nothing grew here. Sewage bubbledut sewer holes whose covers had long beentolen for scrap metal. People eyed my Musang.They could move up nine or ten levelsf they stole it from me. I had to keep drivng.Children rolled each other in old tires. Iwerved around a pack of mangy dogs lyingn the street.Everyone down here went about theirives with one hand. They killed rodents withne hand and scraped them into a meal withhat one hand. The other hand held a cheapxygen inhaler pressed to their mouths at allimes, twenty years obsolete to the modelsn the market now. The incapacitated linedhe sidewalks on their torn lawn chairs, starngwith cataract eyes up at the freeway thated to the light. There was no telling how oldhey were. At ground zero, decay walked unbashed.I snorted two cartridges of compressedxygen. Four hour supply of air. If the dealent well, I›d only use up half an hour inhis pit. My hands shook. I rolled down theindow.“A.I. Bot? Japanese M350?” I called out.I only cracked the window an inch, in casehe dealer had any idea of knifing me. Heucked in a labored breath, slipped me theackage, and then shifted his bloodshot gazeoward the fringe of the black light district.id he really think the neon-clad women,rowling for clientele, were agents? Thatcops would burst out of the abandonedbuildings? Maybe. For kicks. But frankly, thescum on Level 0 - and anyone dumb enoughlike me to descend to it - could finish themselvesoff. The upper city could rid itself of asocial train wreck. It’d be organic. Natural.Being green.The guy rapped on my window—time’s up.“I’ll take it.” I pushed out a thick stack ofbills, seven grand in total, and let go onlywhen he shoved a small pouch into the carcontaining a blue pill and a coding sequence.I punched it in. The Bot’s red light camealive. A shaky breath rattled my parchedthroat—I had never taken drugs before.Outside, the dealer rubbed each notethrough his dry, cracked fingers. “Listen up,kid,” he started.“I’m not a kid. I’m sixteen.”He raised one eyebrow at me. “Whatever.When the Bot goes nuts on you a year fromnow, and believe me, you›ll know it, swallowthe blue pill within ten minutes, or else.”He stuffed the money into his pants andwalked away.“Else what?” I shouted after him.“Else ‘bye-bye world’,” he replied. “TheBot’ll pulp your brain till it’s all a smoothiein there.”“Wait!” I pulled the car into ‘Drive’ andcaught up with him.“What’re you doin’?” he hissed at me.“How many times can I have one in me?Before I turn into a vegetable?”“Scram.”“Tell me.” My voice came out level, theway it always did once I made up my mind.“Max twenty-five, if you have someonedoin’ it for you. In fifteen, you’ll be too friedto blow your own nose.”My eighteenth birthday—when I couldleave home and never come back—was anothertwo years away. This Bot wouldn’thold me that long. “Sell me another. I cancome back in an hour with the money.”He narrowed his eyes, gazing at my face ina way that made my skin crawl.“You got that much dough, kid?”No, but Mom’s bank account did. Andas I discovered freshman year, the ATMscouldn’t tell our fingerprints apart for somereason.“I’ll get the money. Where can I meetyou?”He scratched at his filthy shirt. “I workthree jobs,” he muttered, “just to get oxy cartridgesand keep a tin roof over my family.And you got enough money to blow on twoBots in one night?”My hand shot to the controls, shutting theremaining inch of the window and doublecheckingthe locks.A loud thud emanated as his fist punchedthe glass pane. “I don’t come by nothin’as easy as life comes to you,” he shouted.“Shop’s closed.

MISS ETIQUETTELifestyleTolosa Press •September 4 - 10, 2014 • 15World Class Dentistryin Los OsosShoe EtiquetteBy Anita ShowersCome experience what we have to offer,world-class destistry for patients of allages. We gaurantee you will smileDear Miss Etiquette: Theremust be ‘shoe etiquette.’ Doesit only have to do with a lady’sshoes?Shoe etiquette pertains to a man’sshoes as well as to a lady’s shoes. Whena lady is walking down the street andyou hear a ‘clink, click’ as her heelsmeet the sidewalk, chances are her toplifts or heel caps need to be replaced asthe ‘click, clink’ sound is the nail comingthrough the rubber and meeting thesidewalk. When a lady looks at the toplifts or heel caps of her shoes and seesthat the rubber heel has worn away andthe leather is now touching the sidewalkthen it is time to visit the shoe repair.Sometimes a good shoe repair person isable to put on a new rubber heel wherethe original one was worn away. He orshe may also be able to reconnect theleather to above the top lift or heel cap.Sometimes you will have to toss theshoe and purchase another pair.A man can tell when he needs newheels. Take both shoes and place themon a flat surface at eye level. Not onlywill you be able to see that you neednew heels by eyeing where the rubberhas been worn away but you will beable to see how you walk. Is the outsidewalked away or the inside? Is the backcompletely walked away? If you arehaving back issues sometimes the wayyou wear your shoes out is an indicationof where the back problem emanates.The etiquette books tell you to neverwear the same pair of shoes two days ina row. Rest the shoe and rest the foot.Shoes fit differently; it is a good measureto change shoes from day to day.If the front of your shoes are wornyou may take the shoes to the shoe repairand ask for ‘tips’ to be placed at thevery tip of each shoe. If you value yourshoes then the shoe repair person canalso remove the worn sole and completelyreplace it.Shoes are an investment and makeup an important part of a person’swardrobe. If you like to keep your shoesin their original shoe box, with tissuepaper, remember to dust them off andgive them the ‘what-for’ before puttingthem away. It is better to take care ofyour shoes than not. ✤Call us to set up an exam or consultation.CENTRAL COASTNEWTECHHIGH SCHOOLWe Make a Commitmentto the success of the learningcommunity.

Dinner anda Movie is a weekly feature ofTolosa Press.Ilove when I get tips from readers(hint, hint — if you have a restaurantyou want me to try, please tell meabout it).My latest tip was from an impassionedman who wanted me to try a Mexicanrestaurant called Coronas in ArroyoGrande. He was thorough in telling methe best dishes and what to experimentwith and I am happy to tell you I waspleased.They brought out tortilla chips witha tasty salsa and the waitress suggestedthe guacamole so we ordered it.The guacamole did not disappoint,good flavor and plenty of the greengoodness. I was impressed that theyhad their own signature beer, pouredon draft. The Coronas Victory GoldenAle is their own private label. It waslight and crisp, a perfect accessory tothe hot flavors. The chips were hot andthe salsa packed a punch. We were offto a very good start.I tried the combination platechoosing a cheese enchilada toppedwith a smoky red mole sauce. The densetortilla made this an enchilada to beViva Coronas in Arroyo GrandeBy Teri Bayusremembered. My favorite part was theflauta. Stuffed with chicken and deepfried,this flour tortilla was topped witha unique, hot and spicy ranchero sauce— on of my favorites. It is a picantetomato-based sauce that includesonions, green chiles such as serranosand a touch of sweet seasonings.This Mexican salsa is most oftenassociated with huevos rancheros, butwas perfect on the flauta that was alsodraped with with guacamole and sourcream.A delicious chile relleno roundedout my trio. The eggs where fluffysurrounding an impeccably cookedPablano chili stuffed with cheese, it wasmemorable.Our next visit we did the “Platillosdel Mar” (Plates from the Sea) thatincluded soup. My Albondigas soupwith its vegetable base and spicymeatballs, rice, zucchini, celery, andpotato was delightful. The homemademeatballs were good enough to beserved by themselves.It was not spicy at all, but chockedfull of flavor. My main dish was the“Camarones a la Diablo” (or “DiabloShrimp”) seasoned with tomatoes,onions, green chiles and a spicy setyour-hair-on-firesauce. The largeprawns were cooked perfectly.The “El Gallo Burrito” (meaning therooster) was the one I was encouragedto try. It was huge, stuffed with chilerelleno, chili verde, and cheese andtopped with guacamole and sour cream.The chili verde was succulent and fullof flavor. When this dish is cookedcorrectly, as this was, it is outstanding.It was almost too big to finish.Coronas has many budget optionswith $1 taco Tuesdays and lunchspecials for $6.99. The specials includerice and beans and your choice ofenchilada, taco, flauta, carne asadataco, taquito, pork tamale, or chilerelleno. The plates were big and filling.Corona means “crown” in Spanishand this family is trying and succeedingin leading the Mexican food revolution.Coronas Mexican Restaurant is opendaily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. andeverything on the menu is made fromscratch. It is located at 1263 E GrandAve., in Arroyo Grande. Call them at473-9999. ✤‘Boyhood’ An Extraordinary FilmBy Teri BayusEvery once in a while, you canwitness something that hits youat your very core. I’ve felt thisvery few times in my film loving career.I gazed in awe at the sight of dinosaursin Steven Spielberg’s, “Jurassic Park,”marveled witnessing the birth of theuniverse in Terrence Malick’s, “TheTree of Life,” and now, I sit in sheeradmiration and respect at the magicthat is Richard Linklater’s, “Boyhood.”After more than a century of filmhistory, it’s hard for filmmakers tocome up with something that hasn’tbeen done before. But Linklater hasdone just that. He’s invented the timelapsefeature film.Just as in nature documentaries,where you see a flower budding,blooming and dying in just a fewseconds, we see 12 years of growing upin less than 3 hours.Filmed over 12 years with the samecast, Boyhood is a groundbreakingstory of growing up as seen throughthe eyes of a child named Mason (abreakthrough performance by EllarColtran), who literally grows up onscreen before our eyes.He starts at 6 and it goes until heis 18, an amazing feat, if only in thetenacity of it. Starring Ethan Hawke andPatricia Arquette as Mason’s parentsand newcomer Lorelei Linklater as hissister, Samantha.Boyhood gives us a microscopic viewof the messy world of divorce, familyblending from new relationships, andthe impact of poor relationship choiceson kids. Linklater had no set scriptand so the stories (and even the actors’lines) were hashed out between theproduction team and the actors justdays before each annual shoot.This gives the movie a breathtakingrealism complete with all the wartsthat you can imagine arising from themother’s second and third marriages— to alcoholics — whilst she pursuesa second career, training to become acollege teacher.This is a fine film and definitelya pretty good coming-of-age story.There’s really not much here to discussin terms of technical achievementsbecause it’s all pretty straightforwardand simple, of course not countingthe obvious achievement at its core —following these actors over 12 years.Many people will connect with it on astrong emotional level.Linklater has always been an edgy,experimental, director and one thatI covet. His overuse of improvisatoryconversation among the actors in hisBefore trilogy, and his sojourn intomany genres from animation (WakingLife), comedies (School of Rock,Bernie), biographies (Me and OrsonWelles), and coming of age tales (Dazedand Confused) have had a profoundeffect on his art and have earned himmany accolades.He deserves every one of them.This movie is special, it may feel toonormal to be viewed as a gem, but it isextraordinary. ✤

40 • September 4 - 10, 2014 • Tolosa PressCOASTAL CULTUREDutch CourageBy Gareth KellyPhotos courtesy of Helma SmuldersTake a kayak out in Morro bayand you may come across a smallkayak with a small sail and acheerful man in his mid 60s with a widegrin across his face. Wave to him andhe will probably not wave back. Shoutto him and he may not reply. AdrianSmulders is not being rude, he simplycannot see or hear you.Originally from Valkenswaard inHolland, Smulders, along with hisbrother, mother and father, survizedthe brutality of a Nazi labor camp theyimmigrated to the United States asrefuges after World War II ending upin Pasadena. For the most part, hischildhood was like that of many aroundhim, but at 7-years-old, he noticedsomething was happening with hisvision.“I would be out with friends and theywould be looking up at stars. I wouldlook up but I couldn’t see them. I neverthought anything of it and thought itwas normal,” Smulders said.In the late ’60s, Smulders attendedCal Poly Pomona where he eventuallygraduated in 1972 as a Triple E, anelectrical and electronics engineer.While at college, Smulders began tonotice more problems with his sight.“I was driving one day looking foran address,” Smulders said. “I couldsee the road ahead but I couldn’t seethe speedometer right in front of me. Ihad a kind of tunnel vision. I ended uphaving an accident but, again, I reallydidn’t think much of it.”In 1976, however, Smulders wasdiagnosed with Usher Syndrome, a raregenetic disorder caused by the mutationof any one of 10 genes resulting in theloss of both vision and hearing. By now,Smulders was married to a fellow Dutchrefuge Helma. They were on their waywith two daughters and eventuallyeight grandchildren. After working forvarious companies designing industrialcontrols and prototypes, Smuldersretired in 1992 and moved to San LuisObispo in 1995.“I had had a hearing aid since the5 th grade and I never let it affect me.As my vision got worse, I adjustedand learned to cope with it,” Smulderssaid. “The hardest thing was losing myability to drive and therefore some ofmy independence.”All throughout his life, Smulders hashad a connection to the sea. “Growingup in Holland, some family friends hada 24-foot sailboat we took to Yugoslaviaand sailed on the Adriatic Sea. Wesailed on small rivers and kayaks andby the time I was living in the U.S., Iwould rent Lido’s in Newport and DanaPoint. Little by little I got one boat afteranother. I couldn’t really see anythingbut I didn’t tell anyone. I wanted to sailto Catalina, so I got a self-steering windvane to steer the boat and set off toAvalon. I can make out gray shapes orsmudges as I like to call them, so whenI think I saw Avalon, I turned the boataround and headedback before the winddied,” Smulders said.Seemingly unaffected by hisdisabilities, he had always dreamt ofbuilding his own boat. He bought aset of plans for an Amigo 22 and aftermany years of work, launched it inMorro Bay in 1999.Two years ago, Smulders decided itwas time for an upgrade and bought anIslander 36 that he currently sails andraces with friends out of the Morro BayYacht Club. “Kayaking and sailing givesme a real sense of independence. Otherpeople get afraid or worried aboutme, but I can find my way around aboat no problem. I love to get in frontof the sails to feel the wind and thespray and the feel of the boat. When Ikayak I head out of the channel fromthe State Marina, and as long as I canmake out the smudges of the tree lineI know where I am. There was a time Ididn’t know whether the marina was tothe left or the right, so I just guessed, ILuckily for this fearless adventurer,technology has really started to helpSmulders be able to do more and more.“My iPhone is set to be audible. I caneven send text messages but it can bejust get Helma to doit, but, in general,technology is reallyhelping people likeindependence. I can’twait for the Googlecar, then I can headoff to Morro Bay,around town I needto do, stay on theboat and head backwant without havingto rely on Helma.Without technology,people like me wouldSmulders is readyto put his feet upmodest man with adelightful sense ofhumor still has bigplans for the future.“Helma doesn’t likeIslander is a trueblue water cruiser soI see no reason whyI can’t take it on a cruise to Cabo orSo the next time the man in the kayakseems to be ignoring you, look for thewide grin on his face.

42 • September 4 - 10, 2014 • SLO City NewsNEWSMeasure G Commissioners Sought in SLOBy Camas FrankThe City of San Luis Obispowants applicants for ajob that may or may notcome into being. Applicationsare being accepted now throughFriday, Oct. 24 for the “Citizen’sRevenue Enhancement OversightCommission.”Now hang on, committees andcommissions that San Luis ObispoCity government requests citizensto serve on can be a little confusing,especially in the area of finances.There’s the Investment OversightCommittee, which until recentlydidn’t have any members ofthe public on it but did gain anindependent member in the personof local architect and landlord SteveBarasch. It oversees the investmentof the City’s $91.5 million reservesand savings funds, and at a recentmeeting looked into the strategiesfor paying down an estimated$150 million pension nliability in coming years.Then there is thenow dissolved, “LocalRevenue MeasureAdvisory Committee.”That body issued its finalreport, “Recommendationsfor a Revenue AugmentationBallot Measure,” last February.Its majority-report conclusion,after months of data analysis onthe soon to sunset Measure Y andbenefits that the half-percent salestax did or did not have, was that theCity Council pursue another ballotmeasure substantially similar to theold one.As a result of the compromisesthat council members made amongthemselves with Measure G,a new half-percent salestax on the Nov. 2 ballot,authorization for a thirdbody was passed in July.According to theCity’s job descriptionfor the Citizen’s RevenueEnhancement OversightCommission, “a five memberAdvisory Body will review, reportand make recommendationsdirectly to the San Luis Obispo CityCouncil regarding the revenue andexpenditures of the City’s voterapprovedgeneral purpose, halfpercentsales tax.”Applicants must be residentsof the City and preference willtherefore be given to applicants withexperience in finance, budgeting,or municipal accounting. And theCommission job will only come intobeing if voters approve Measure G.And unlike many other city advisoryboards, this one will at least getpaid.Compensation is to be on par withthe Planning Commission. Eventhough the rate of pay was recentlyincreased for that body, it’s not agood incentive to quit a day job.Planning Commissioners currentlyreceive $60 per meeting with amaximum of $240 a month.Applications are available onlineat: www.slocity.org or at the CityClerk’s Office, 990 Palm St. ✤2014Concerts P laza2014 FREE LIVE MUSICFridays 5 - 8 PMin Downtown SLO’sMission PlazaFor details, contact the San Luis Obispo Downtown Association at (805) 541 - 0286 or visit www.DowntownSLO.comNo Smoking in Mission Plaza | No Pets | Food & Drink Available | No Outside Alcoholic Beverages2014Rotary Bandstand, Heritage Square Park, Arroyo GrandeConcert Sponsor:SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 @ 1:00 PMFeatured NonprofitOrganization: n:FREESLO Blues Society Welcomes theCode Blues BandRelax and enjoy free outdoor Sundaysummer concerts with food, drinks andice cream available.

44 •• September 4 - 410, - 10, 2014 2014 • Tolosa • Tolosa Press PressIn the BlackAre You Spending Enough Time With Your Team?By Michael GuntherThe job of a leader is to maketheir employees successfulby developing their skills andassisting them in achieving theiroutcomes. By truly understandingthe individuals on their team andspending time coaching these folks,the leaders should have a highperforming team — right?Yet, I speak to leaders all thetime complaining they haveunderperforming team members.Team members that were once solidplayers, but are no longer “A” teamplayers and the leaders are questioningwhether or not these individuals shouldbe on their team any longer.When speaking to these leaders, oneof the first questions I ask is: How muchone-on-one time are you spending withyour “underperforming” team member?Next, I inquire about the employee’slast performance review, as well as theindividual’s 12-month growth plan.More often than not, I just get a blankstare back at me. Typically, the leaderhasn’t facilitated a formal performancereview in years, if ever. In addition,they have no idea what I mean about a“growth plan.”This would be like recruiting a playerfor your sports team, but spending notime coaching them at practice. Youhave no plan to develop their skills or toimprove their performance.In my opinion, most leaders hire forthe “major leagues” but just assumethese players should be able to play atthe major league level without goingto the farm teams first and with noguidance. The reality is, this isn’t howstar performers are created.Why should it be any different inbusiness? There is a desire to wantmajor league players on our teams,therefore we hire passionate, strongindividuals, but provide little guidanceor direction. Imagine if you actuallyspent time with each of your teammembers to get clear understanding onhow their job is going and where theywould like to develop their skills.Then, imagine meeting with themon a regular basis helping them getbetter at their jobs and assisting themin reaching their growth goals. Afterspending this time, do you think youmight have different performing teammembers? Your main role as a leaderis to develop your team to achieve theoutcomes you want — right?Many leaders push back on thisconcept stating they just don’t havethe time to perform one-on-ones orspend time with their team. My beliefis these leaders have it all wrong. Theydon’t have any time because they aren’tspending time developing their team.By developing their team they wouldbe amazed what could come off theirplate and how their underperformingindividuals begin to transition to highperforming team players.Bottom LineTake the time to get to know yourteam and coach them to levels ofperformance. By simply asking wherethey want to develop their skills andcreating a plan to help achieve thosegoals, can go a long way towardsloyalty and higher performance.Lastly, strong players wantfeedback on their performancebecause they truly want to improveand contribute more to the team.You are doing a disservice toyourself, your organization, andyour team if you are not providingthis feedback on a regular basis.This is another article in aseries on Michael Gunther’sentrepreneurial story and howbeing raised in a large family andhis belief in creating a growthcompany with a work-to-livementality has influenced his career.To read previous articles see hisblog at: www.Collaboration-llc.com. ✤Michael Gunther is founderand president of Collaboration,LLC, a team of highly skilledbusiness professionals dedicatedto assisting proactive businessowners to build profitable,sustainable businesses throughresults-oriented education andconsulting services.

This writer is gratefulfor the food he donated to afundraiser held for me during myfight against breast cancer in 2007.I always enjoy seeing him at therestaurant, where we can hagglewith each other over whether seaotters are the cause of the declinein some shellfish. He says they are;I say they aren’t, but we do thislovingly.I am not the only one who can testifyto the delights of Dockside; here aresome comments from loyal patrons:Mary Leizear, of Morro Bay Rotarysaid, “I have known Mark for manyyears. When he sold whole fish offhis boat, I loved standing in line withthe old-timers and listening to storiesof Morro Bay’s long history as afisherman’s town. Mark’s dad, Wilmar,was the line coordinator and the beststoryteller of them all.“When Mark opened Dockside,the long lines of people just movedindoors to eat and kept telling stories.Of courses, there was Wilmar, theconsummate host, making sure everydish was perfect. All the tables in therestaurant feature pictures of the localfisher-folk and their boats. The food isalways wonderful, and Mark’s successis a wonderful testimony to hard workand meticulous planning.”Mark’s love of his hunting dogs isreflected in the dog-friendly patioof Dockside II, everyone’s favoriteafternoon hangout. Watching thefishing boats unload their catch andlistening to delightful local musiciansmakes the day even more enjoyable.Mark’s generosity in support oflocal nonprofits is legendary. I haveasked for and received dozens of giftcertificates for the various local nonprofitsI support, and Mark has alwaysgranted every request with a smile anda big hug.Local journalist Judy Salamachasaid, “When we just have to have freshfish and have Cajun along, we headfor Dockside II, outdoors on the dock,usually fun but not overwhelmingmusical entertainment, watchingthe birds and beasts in the bay, andenjoying evermore consistent goodtastingfish and fixings and a pitcher ofbrew, of course.Aaron Ochs, Eco-Rotary Clubpresident-elect said, “Tognazzini’sDockside is very generous with theirportions. Everything on the menu ispure quality, fresh, and plentiful.You will never leave there hungry.”Anne Albright, retired tour guideextraordinaire, said, “We like theappetizer tray and bread while youwait. Staff is helpful when you askfor changes like broiled instead offried. They don’t mind splittingchecks, which is helpful with seniorgroups.”Patricia Jensen-Cox of PasoRobles said, “My granddaughter,daughter and I like Tognazzini’sDockside. I always order fish andsalad and find it delicious. Whenthe weather is nice, and the musicis good it’s a wonderful place toeat. Once when I wasn’t watchinga seagull came down and snatcheda piece of my granddaughter’s fish.My fault!”Janice Peters, former Morro Baymayor and actress extraordinairesaid, “Dockside Too has sponsoredthe annual Mermaid & PirateParade for six years now, feeding acrew of 100 or so pirates, mermaidsand sea creatures and their parentsfor free. Their generosity is endlessand much appreciated!”Morro Bay resident RuthVasconcellos said, “Dockside isour family favorite. We love sittingoutside and enjoying the sea air, theseals, the birds and the live music.Not to mention the hospitality whichis always most welcoming.” ✤BUY 1 Dinnerand Get 1FREETheGirl’sRestaurantMon–Thu 7am–7:30pm7 Sat Days & Sun a Week 7am–2pm • 7am–2pm1237 Grand Avenue • Arroyo Grande • 805-473-1069PARKING?...DON’T NEED IT!

Get in toCal Poly, get a great education,fall in love with San LuisObispo and its surrounding area,graduate with a great degree froma great school and are then facedwith the unenviable decision ofwhat to do next. Do you leaveparadise and head to the Bay Areafor a job or maybe south to L.A.?For many, the decision is oftenmade by the lack of opportunitieslocally within their chosen career.There is, however, another way,one that appealed to three recentfemale graduates.Sabrina Mutillo, Kaitlin Munozand Kate Mecozzi, all recentgraduates of Cal Poly, are theowners and founders of Veg ThisWay and their product, the RawrBar, an all-natural fruit leathertypesnack bar focused primarily atchildren.“We wanted to find a way to getmore fruits and vegetables into thediets of children,” said Munoz, herselfa food science major. Alongside herfellow food science major, Mutillo,they entered a couple of businesscompetitions with moderatesuccess. To help them even further,they recruited Mecozzi, a businessmajor, and entered an elevator pitchcompetition that eventually led themto the SLO HotHouse acceleratorprogram, a 12-week intensiveprogram designed to help youngentrepreneurs fine tune both theirproducts and business models.“We did a lot of productdevelopment during this time. Wetasted the product, found out whatconsumers wanted and figured outwhat we could do to make the productbetter,” Mecozzi said.After proving both themselves andtheir product, the girls got acceptedto the next level of the HotHouse,the Incubator program, a two-yearprogram providing new start-upswith mentors, office space and legalresources among numerous othertools to really help new businessesflourish.Their Rawr Bar is a gluten-free,all-natural fruit and vegetable snackbar with half a portion of fruit andvegetables with no sugar.“We’ve been doing really well. Weare in 27 stores as well as online withmany repeat orders. We currentlyhave two main flavors, sweet potatoand beet. We hope to have moreflavors like strawberry kale soon,”Mutillo said.With their bars containing onlyfive ingredients, the first being avegetable, these young businessladies are hopingto capture thehearts andminds of parentsincreasinglylooking toprovide their kidsa healthier optionthan traditionalcandy.One of theirmentors throughthe HotHouse isSabrina Harperfrom Wells Fargo,who informed thegirls about WellsFargo’s NationalSmall Businesscompetition. The girls wrote therequired 600-word essay andsubmitted their application.“We really didn’t think anythingwould come of it. There werethousands of entrants from allover the country. A few weeksago we got an email saying wehad made the top 25, winningus $1,000 with the chance ofwinning the top prize of $25,000.The winner is announced onSeptember 8,” Mutillo said.A year into the incubatorprogram, they still hand-makeall the Rawr bars but are hopingto scale up to a more automatedsystem as they increase sales aswell as the number of flavors.And, they have managed tocreate jobs for themselves so theycan stay in SLO, To find out moreabout the Rawr bar and whereyou can buy them, visit www.vegthisway.com. ✤Creative Elegant AffordablePricing & Packaging to suit every budget & wedding size.805.235.6365 carriejaymes@hotmail.com www.carriejaymes.comConstruction Services805-574-3155We Do All The “Honey Do’s”All Household RepairsProviding Professional Handyman ServicesFree EstimatesLicensed and Fully Insured: Contractors License No. 306732 Residential and Commercial Services
