I don't know what's worse, a bunch of
Grover Beachers saying homeless people shouldn't get to stay at the city park when those same residents pitched a gigantic fit in 2019 over a facility that could have actually provided homeless services. click to enlarge I'm in shock that the
Cambria Community Services District is
still talking about the name of the emergency water facility turned permanent pain in the ass that has yet to provide a single drop of water to residents. Is it an emergency drought facility or one that augments Cambria's water supply on a regular basis? That, my dear Shredder lovers, depends on who you ask.

Morro Bay Butcher and Deli aims to bring customers meat that's as local as possible and handled as little as possible. Butcher Geoff Montgomery, who opened the butcher shop and deli in December 2020 with his wife, Jillian Montgomery, and their friend, Evan Martz, said his goal is to be 75 percent local in the case by the end of the year. Currently, some of Morro Bay Butcher and Deli's beef comes from Molnar Cattle LLC out of Cayucos and Rudnick Land and Cattle Co. from the Central Valley. Autonomy Farms out of Bakersfield supplies pasture raised, all natural, antibiotic- and hormone-free chicken. And the butcher shop is currently getting its lamb from New Zealand's Coastal Lamb. You can also find pork and venison—and look forward to the future, when Geoff plans to bring in some duck.
The San Luis Obispo County District Attorney's Office filed a motion on March 26 seeking a gag order against Tianna Arata and three other Black Lives Matter protesters and their respective attorneys, citing a collective media campaign that's influencing the county's jury pool. On March 29, about 40 people gathered in front of the DA's Office holding signs that read "Stop silencing Black voices" and "Dan, you already got disqualified, give it up." The group called SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow a racist and accused the office of witness tampering. click to enlarge Photo By Karen Garcia

It's strange to have to talk about it now, since so much time has passed," Cindy Kitagawa said, referring to her screenplay for
Coast, a locally produced, feature-length film. "It was the first script I ever wrote, and I did years of rewrites all while we worked to try and get it made."
Within the Cambria community, there are two views of the intended use of the Community Services District's advanced water treatment facility: Either it's meant to support future growth, or it serves as insurance in the event of a drought. The facility's current permit, which is temporary, says it can only run during a stage 3 water shortage emergency. But the district board is in the process of getting a permanent permit, and officials say they initiated another recent name-change discussion to bring the community together after years of debate surrounding the facility's name and function. click to enlarge File Photo By Jayson Mellom
