Cal Poly reportedly investigating students for career fair protest
F
ive Cal Poly students may face disciplinary action for staging a protest against U.S. defense contractor Raytheon at a recent on-campus career fair where the company had a booth, according to students involved. At the April 19 event in the Cal Poly recreation center, a group of about eight walked in front of Raytheon’s table at the fair, stood, and held a banner that read, “Divest from war. Stop the war machine.” The demonstrators, who identified as the SLO Peace Coalition, then sang a protest song. “We see right through your lies,” they sang. “You’re killing all across the world for that war money and we proudly rise up until you put your weapons down.” The protest lasted 18 minutes without incident or interruptions, according to video footage of the event. Since the protest, five participating students received emails from the Cal Poly Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities—which investigates and issues discipline for student misconduct—stating that the protest violated the school’s code of conduct for free expression, according to two involved students. Alleged violations include holding an “unauthorized sign” and “willfully disrupting and obstructing a university event,” according to thirdyear student Kelsey Zazanis, who said she received an email from the university a few days ago. “It’s just strange,” Zazanis said. “It was super casual. Not once during this were we asked to leave.” Students told New Times that Cal Poly has suggested barring the protestors from walking at graduation as punishment. Cal Poly Spokesman Matt Lazier could not confirm any active misconduct investigation due to

privacy laws. But in an email he said a student or employee who staged “a disruptive protest” could be subject to a “review to determine whether it violated a university policy” and could lead to “appropriate disciplinary action.” He reported no arrests or criminal charges filed in connection to the protest. “Cal Poly supports the free speech rights of all its campus community members and visitors,” Lazier said. “To ensure that the exercise of the NO PROTESTS ALLOWED Five Cal Poly students are reportedly right of free expression under investigation for staging a protest against defense contractor does not interfere with Raytheon at a recent campus career fair. university functions, imperil public safety, obstruct or before,” said protester and recent grad Matt damage university facilities, or cause individuals Klepfer. “In some ways, this protest was going to become audiences against their will, the after something new ... challenging the role of university maintains and enforces campus the university as it relates to the university’s regulations regarding the time, place, and manner donors and corporate sponsors.” of the exercise of free expression by individuals Students also compared crackdowns on and groups.” their protest to other recent free speech issues Protest participants said that the on campus, like the two incidents of students demonstration wasn’t disruptive.

Pismo Beach rolls out new short-term rentals regulations Pismo Beach residents hoping to make a few extra dollars by renting out their homes or rooms in the city for 30 days or less will have to comply with new regulations. A recently approved ordinance will limit the use of short-term rentals, or STRs, to certain areas of the city, and also includes additional requirements for parking, occupancy, and inspections. The city hopes the new regulations will better balance the rights of property owners who rent out homes or rooms on a short-term basis with community concerns about traffic, noise, and other impacts from STRs. “There are hundreds of people waiting for neighborhood protection and for these ordinances to go into effect,” Pismo Beach City Manager Jim Lewis told members of the City Council at a May 15 meeting, shortly before they voted 5-0 to approve the new regulations. The ordinance limits short-term rentals and homestays to detached, single-family residences that are the owner’s primary residence, though this can include include accessory dwelling
units. The regulations also require short-term rental owners to provide a certain number of on-site parking spaces based on the number of bedrooms they are renting. That ranges from one on-site parking space for a one-bedroom rental to a minimum of four on-site spaces for rentals with five or more bedrooms. The ordinance also caps maximum occupancy at two individuals per available bed. Short-term rental operators must also follow a “good neighbor” policy, which lays out rules for noise, parties, and other issues to mitigate the negative impacts for short-term rentals on permanent residents. Owners will be required to submit to an initial inspection to ensure their short-term rental meets the requirements of the new regulations. If STR operators fail to follow the ordinance, they can be fined between $750 for the first violation and $1,000 per night for subsequent violations. Lewis said multiple violations could also result in the city revoking the STR’s license to operate in the city. Pismo has long struggled with how to address the growing number of short-term rentals in the city. Initially, the city tried to pass an ordinance that banned them outright, but that was NEWS continued page 6

struck down by the California Coastal Commission. Subsequent regulations were approved, but were difficult to enforce and even led to some legal challenges, Lewis said. “This whole quest started out with wanting to protect neighborhoods and to create a level playing field legal lodging establishments,” Lewis said at a May 1 meeting shortly after introducing the new ordinances for first reading. At that same meeting, several residents who operated short-term rentals through online apps like Airbnb said renting out their homes helped them offset the increasingly high cost of living in Pismo Beach. “It’s a great way for me to own a vacation home in an expensive area,” said Collette Hillier, a SLO County resident. “The guests have been spectacular.” At the May 15 meeting, Mayor Ed Wagee noted the new regulations could be amended in the future. “This is our first crack at it,” he said. “We can certainly go back and make some revisions after we see how it’s working.” —Chris McGuinness
TMHA begins construction of Sunny Acres affordable housing complex
After six years Transitions Mental Health Association (TMHA) and the Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO) will celebrate the beginning stages of construction on the Bishop Street Studios affordable housing project on May 31. TMHA Executive Director Jill BolsterWhite said construction began on April 2 and the land surrounding the 1931 building—formerly known as Sunny Acres Orphanage—was graded to make way for renovation and three additional buildings. The nonprofit is working in collaboration with the HASLO on the 34 one-person units of affordable housing for adults living with mental illness. Aside from the location’s scenic views, it’s also close to health and transportation services for prospective residents. “Just right down from the project there is the Behavioral Health Department, the Public Health Department, there are doctors on one side, and a bus line to get into town. It has all sorts of things nearby, so it’s really an ideal location,” Bolster-White said. In 2016, the project was met with opposition from neighbors during a San Luis Obispo City Council meeting. Community members Ray Righetti and Lanny Hernandez appealed the SLO Planning Commission’s approval of the project. Their concerns were the project’s cost, the type of supportive housing, and the individuals who would be housed in the program. BolsterWhite said she spoke with the neighbors who reached out to her and hasn’t heard any rebuttals to the project since. “I think people understand that this is a needed resource. I think there are also a number of people who are excited to get that building restored. I think just with all the attention of mental health happening nationwide and locally, it’s really important for people to understand the best case scenario is stable housing and supportive mental health services,” she said. The housing will also include an onsite resident manager to monitor the
property, act as property manager with regard to repairs and maintenance, and be available for resident needs. The affordable housing project is designed for people who have an open case with the county Behavioral Health Department, Bolster-White said. Prospective residents must be at least 18 years of age and have the skills to live independently. Residents must also agree not to use illegal substances and abide by state and local laws, as well as the terms of the TMHA residency agreement. “It’s a great repurposing of a pretty beautiful community asset for a really needed public benefit,” she said. The May 31 celebration is a thank-you for donors, community members, and officials who helped bring the project to life. TMHA is slated to have a larger community celebration when construction is complete in the fall of 2019. —Karen Garcia
Paso grapples with locations for cannabis businesses
The city of Paso Robles’ current cannabis regulations only allow cannabis delivery services to establish and operate in city limits. Now, delivery companies are learning that “city limits” doesn’t include downtown. Paso officials recently denied Dubs Green Garden a license to operate its delivery out of a downtown commercial property, even though the company has used the location on Park Street as its office for years prior. The rub, according to the city, is that new state cannabis laws require delivery services to store their cannabis products at a licensed brick-and-mortar facility. After reviewing Dubs’ application to do just that, the city decided that downtown wasn’t where it wanted cannabis deliveries to set up shop. “Everybody looked at it and there was just a concern about what effect that may have on the downtown,” Paso Community Development Director Warren Frace said.
6 • New Times • May 24 - May 31, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com
Frace said the concerns involved public safety and cannabis’ potentially negative economic impact on other downtown businesses and industries. “The City Council’s position was to go slowly and carefully and not to take a step that somehow jeopardizes what’s going on downtown that’s really positive right now,” he said. “If they’re mobile, it doesn’t seem like it really matters [to the business] where they’re at.” Dubs Green Garden initially filed an appeal of the city’s denial—but withdrew it on May 22. Frace said the company found a different property for the business, north of the fairgrounds on Black Oak Drive. That location may end up housing three mobile dispensaries, he said. Paso has roughly 30 licensed delivery services, with seven running their businesses within the city. Another delivery that already has an office downtown, Coastal Elevation, spoke against a ban on downtown cannabis businesses at a city Planning Commission meeting on May 22. “I’m asking that you let us, the legitimate operators, find our location that we’ve been allowed to [operate] in the city of Paso, even if it means being in a downtown location where we’ve proven it’s not been a problem,” said Sandra Wood of Coastal Elevation. Paso’s cannabis licenses are currently temporary and valid for up to one year. The City Council plans to adopt a permanent cannabis ordinance within the next year, Frace said. —Peter Johnson
Tenborg attorney files response in CalCoastNews libel appeal
Attorneys for a local waste management business owner made their argument as to why a state appeals court should uphold the $1.1 million verdict against a local news website for libeling him in a 2012 article. Lawyers for Charles Tenborg filed their
response to a legal appeal of a libel verdict filed by CalCaostNews in California’s 2nd District Court of Appeals. The response argues that a SLO County jury was correct in its finding that the site’s reporters and cofounders, Karen Velie and Daniel Blackburn, made defamatory statements in the article. After a March 2017 civil trial, the jury levied a total of $1.1 million in damages against CalCoastNews, Velie, and Blackburn. “[The] defendants deliberately published horrible falsehoods about Tenborg, even after being told they were untrue, in an article they made as harsh and accusatory as possible to hide its lack of substance,” wrote Michael Von Loewenfeldt, an attorney with the San Francisco-based law firm of Kerr & Wagstaffe LLP. CalCoastNews filed its own arguments in favor of appeal in February. The appellate brief argued that Blackburn was only responsible for writing a portion of the article that didn’t contain any of the statements about Tenborg that the jury found defamatory. It also asked the court to throw out the $1.1 million in damages, claiming that the trial court gave jurors erroneous and prejudicial instructions. The response from Tenborg’s attorney pushed back on both of those arguments, saying that there was ample evidence to show that Blackburn and Velie were both responsible for the defamatory article, and that there was no error in the instructions to the jury. It stated that even CalCoastNews agreed to and stipulated some of the jury instructions that it claims were erroneous in its appeal. In his brief, Loewenfeldt said that Tenborg incurred “substantial expense,” waiting through several years of “delaying tactics,” and asked the appellate court to uphold the jury’s verdict. “The time has come for a final public vindication of Mr. Tenborg’s reputation,” Loewenfeldt wrote. CalCoastNews, which is being represented by Los Angeles-based attorney Paul J. Beard II, has until July 30 to file a reply to the brief. Δ —Chris McGuinness

Gone fishin’? County Assessor’s Office staff weighs in on Tom Bordonaro’s leadership amid a contentious race
S
an Luis Obispo County Assessor Tom Bordonaro is known to hang a sign on his office door. “Gone Fishin’,” it reads. The quip, according to several current and former employees of the office, symbolizes the reality of Bordonaro’s leadership at the helm of the department—defined by absenteeism, paperwork and personnel decision delays, and a top-down management style. “It was unbelievable the amount of times I’d go to the area of Tom’s office and be like, ‘Where’s Tom?’” said Gloria Becerra, an Assessor’s Office employee of 21 years who retired in 2015. “He was not in the office—one time for at least a year.” Eleven current and former employees who spoke with New Times said Bordonaro’s chronic absence had a detrimental effect on the office. They said Bordonaro is often said to be working from home, or, as he reportedly terms it, “the ranch.” Several staffers estimated an attendance record of 10 percent over his last two terms. “He just wasn’t there very often,” said Betty Willetts, who retired in 2016. “He was gone weeks at a time, then might come in two days, and be gone again. There would be a conference, and they’d get him on the speakerphone. But it’s different having the guy there, absorbing the culture of what’s happening in the office.” “He is an absentee department head and certainly has been for the past eight years,” one current staffer said on the condition of anonymity. “It’s been affecting morale in the office for some time.” Bordonaro, 59, is seeking a fifth term in the June 5 primary election. He faces a challenger for the first time: former Assessor’s Office employee David Boyer, who’s slammed Bordonaro’s attendance in his campaign. Bordonaro was first elected as assessor in 2002 after serving as a Republican state Assemblyman. Since 2012, he’s undergone four surgeries—procedures he said were complicated by a pre-existing spinal injury that’s kept him wheelchairbound for most of his life. “It was a pretty rough five years,” Bordonaro said of the surgeries. “That led to extended periods where I wasn’t in the office.” Bordonaro said he fully performed his assessor duties during that period, mostly from home. “I had to lay down. I had to be on my side,” he said. “So I’d have to use conference calls and email to keep in touch with my management staff. I did personnel interviews. I did new-hire interviews with Skype. I was still very much involved in the office.” Employees alleged more than periodic medical absences—describing a detachment from the department dating back to before the surgeries. Much of the office’s responsibilities have been delegated to managers who report to him, they said. “By doing that, he basically didn’t have to show up,” said another employee, who also requested anonymity. “We have a great office. He takes all the credit, and we do all the work.” The assessor is responsible for valuing all real and personal property in SLO
County, overseeing roughly 85 employees and a $10 million budget. For 2018-19, the top job is budgeted for a $173,576 base salary—about $250,000 with benefits. Bordonaro has earned more than $2 million over his 16-year tenure. Bordonaro said his leadership style is not to “micromanage,” but he flatly denied allegations of being disengaged from the office or allowing any slips in productivity. He said the office is “in excellent condition” and boasts “one of the lowest appeal rates in the state.” “I do not sit and look over 85 employees’ shoulders,” Bordonaro said. “They each have a manager and supervisor, and we have worked very hard on establishing measurable performance standards.” He added that he’s often busy performing other duties as a publicly elected assessor. “I’m in the field. Taxpayers have issues out on their properties. There’s a lot that goes on to educate the public on the very complex and convoluted taxation code,” Bordonaro said. “I do not sit behind a desk 40 hours per week. That’s not the job of the assessor.” Not all employees were critical of Bordonaro’s leadership. Lesa Gofourth, a manager and employee for 32 years, said she felt “disgusted” by some of the accusations made against him. “None of those people would have dealt directly with Tom from the level that they’re at,” Gofourth alleged. “You don’t go talk to the CFO of the company when you’re selling widgets. There’s management, there’s supervision, and that’s the chain of command. “Tom works for the people of this county, and we carry out Tom’s directive and goals,” she added. “I have the upmost respect for his leadership.” But others say Bordonaro’s physical absence created a “void in leadership” that not only affected morale, but caused delays in resolving property assessment disputes and other issues. “The functioning of the office has been greatly affected by lack of decisions, decisions that would fall to him,” said a current employee. Records aren’t available to document Bordonaro’s work schedule. But minutes from assessment appeal hearings show a trend: Between 2007 and 2010, Bordonaro went to 88 percent of the hearings. From 2011 to 2014, his attendance dropped to 53 percent. Since January 2015, Bordonaro has attended 4 of 28 hearings. In response, Bordonaro said assessors in counties of SLO’s size don’t often attend appeal hearings, allowing staff to handle them. Staffers critical of Bordonaro say taxpayers deserve to know about his attendance record as they decide who to elect. “I normally wouldn’t get involved in politics, but in this particular instance I felt compelled to voice my opinion to let the voters know,” said Sara Sylwester, who retired in 2014 after a 26-year career in the office. “They really should know what’s going on.” ∆ Staff Writer Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Continued hope
O
n the corner of Prado Road and South Higuera Street is a pathway to the Bob Jones Trail. Leaving the sounds of car tires running on pavement behind, the trail begins with a bridge over a creek that leads to a huge open space with trees and lush bushes. On May 15, the mobile shower, chairs, and folding tables of Hope’s Village SLO occupied the head of the trail. The nonprofit is set up there to give homeless individuals, who wouldn’t otherwise have access to a shower, a place to bathe. The nonprofit was founded by Becky Jorgeson five years ago. Its goal is to create a sustainable living community for individuals with little to no income. In order to do that, the nonprofit’s vision is to create a village of tiny homes where people can afford to live and get their lives back on track. She’s been working with a group of about 20 volunteers daily for the past five years to get the word out about the village. The biggest obstacle to creating the community is land. Hope’s Village has looked into acquiring land in Santa Margarita and Atascadero, but neither has worked out. “It’s taken a lot longer than we expected. It’s been five years, and I thought all I’d have to do is put the word out there and somebody would come forth
with land,” Jorgeson said with a pause. “We were looking for a donation or a longterm inexpensive lease but neither has happened.” Carly, who didn’t want to disclose her last name, was at a table folding clean towels for shower users. She said finding a landowner who’s willing to make their land available hasn’t happened yet because people are afraid to dedicate a space to the homeless community. “They’re afraid that it will draw more homeless people, and it isn’t about that at all,” Carly said. “It’s about plucking our own people off the street and helping them.” She said society forgets that most homeless individuals are people who were once our neighbors or people who we worked side-by-side with. Over the past five years of working toward the goal of finding a property for the village, Jorgeson and her team has also been working on other projects. Sitting under the shade of an umbrella, Jorgeson points to folding tables with shirts, shorts, beanies, fruit, and juice. It’s clean clothes, towels, soap, and food for people who stop by. She said they’ve successfully been running the mobile showers for seven months now. On Tuesdays, they are stationed at the Bob Jones Trail off Prado Road, and on Saturday, it’s
COMMUNITY PROJECT Hope’s Village of SLO works with the homeless community by providing showers, clean clothes, and food to those in need.
“The main thing we do here is bring lots of love, compassion, and hope because these people have no hope,” she said. To learn more about the nonprofit, volunteer opportunities, or how to donate, visit hopesvillageofslo.com.

stationed at the United Church of Christ of San Luis Obispo off Los Osos Valley Road. With a few volunteers, the showers start at 9 a.m. and run until noon. The other successful program that Hope’s Village SLO has executed is RVs for Veterans. Jorgeson connects people who want to donate their RVs to homeless veterans in need. To date, the nonprofit has facilitated 75 donated motorhomes, travel trailers, and fifth wheels. What Hope’s Village SLO prides itself on is its unique approach to working with the homeless community.
The Central Coast Veterans Memorial Museum will open in honor of all veterans on Memorial Day, May 28, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The museum will display items left by The Wall That Heals, which came to San Luis Obispo in late March. There will also be a White Table of Remembrance and a Fallen Soldier Battlefield Cross, which will honor service members who remain missing, unaccounted for, or lost in battle. Admission to the museum is free, and refreshments will be served. The museum is located at 801 Grand Ave., SLO. For more information, visit vetmusuem.org or call (805) 781-5901.

Battling oil Big Oil’s alternative facts are already seeping into SLO County
T
he Coalition to Protect SLO County has successfully gathered enough signatures to put a measure on the ballot this November to ban oil well expansion, fracking, and acidizing in the county, but their work has just begun. Over the coming months, they will have to counteract misinformation from the oil industry. If Monterey County is any indicator, this will be no easy task. In April 2016, the grassroots group Protect Monterey County collected enough signatures for a similar ballot measure. In the ensuing campaign, the oil industry-backed group Monterey County Citizens for Energy Independence spent more than $5 million to oppose Measure Z. The group’s spokesperson, Sabrina Lockhart, who was also the communications director for the California Independent Petroleum Association, told the press and county that “California already [had] the strictest environmental regulations in place.” This was a creative interpretation of reality: while California may have strict environmental regulations, our state regulatory agency, the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR), is not enforcing them. In 2015, the Associated Press revealed that DOGGR had granted more than 2,500 permits to illegally inject toxic oil field wastewater into aquifers that
HODIN
were protected under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). And, compared to other counties, Monterey had very few oil extraction regulations. Despite the tornado of misinformation—and being outspent 18 to 1—Measure Z passed by 56 percent that November. Creative interpretations of reality have already arrived in SLO County. On May 3, Christine Halley, the spokesperson for Sentinel Peak Resources, which owns the Arroyo Grande oil field, told New Times that Sentinel Peak did not plan to drill more wells (“Fracking initiative gets 20,000 signatures”). In the next breath, she said that future expansion was inevitable. Then, she merely stated what we already know: The EPA was still deciding whether or not to grant an exemption for that portion of the aquifer, which is protected under the SDWA. What she didn’t say was whether the 70 to 80 illegal injection wells at the oil field were still pumping toxic wastewater into the Arroyo Grande aquifer that lies beneath the oil field. These equivocations pale in comparison to the April 26 letter to the editor (“Arroyo Grande oil field is a net water producer”) in which Halley, in a complete inversion of reality, described the oil field as a “net water producer.” It is true that the oil field releases 500,000 gallons of purified water into Pismo Creek every day. However, very little of this water is reclaimed: Most of its runs straight into the Pacific. Common sense dictates that if we are “concerned about water supply,” we should protect the aquifer and leave the water in it for future use.
Instead, Sentinel Peak is simultaneously depleting and polluting the aquifer. Every barrel of oil Sentinel Peak pumps up is accompanied by 19 barrels of toxic, polluted water. This “produced water,” as the industry calls it, is groundwater that gets released during the drilling process when steam and proprietary chemicals are pumped into injection wells to create pressure changes that release oil. The undisturbed water in the Arroyo Grande aquifer could potentially be used as drinking water, which is why it is still protected under the SDWA. Once the groundwater is mixed with the chemicals used in steam injection, it becomes toxic: Produced water is a form of hazardous waste. It’s saltier than seawater and contains lead, chromium, aluminum, and high levels of petrochemicals like benzene, which is a carcinogen. Sentinel Peak pulls up more than 1 million gallons of produced water every operating day. Nearly 550,000 gallons of this toxic water are re-injected into the ground as steam for the next round of drilling. Another 500,000 gallons are treated in the reverse osmosis plant and released into Pismo Creek. The final 180,000 gallons, along with the waste products from reverse osmosis, are injected into wastewater disposal wells. The wells are designed to allow the toxic, polluted water to seep out into the spaces between rocks. Halley goes on to describe the oil field’s economic contribution to our county: 20 employees and 100-plus contractors. Again, the lack of a larger perspective distorts this information. The continued pollution and depletion of the aquifer is a direct threat to the county’s agricultural industry, which employed 3,000 people in 2016, and the tourism industry, which created more than 400 jobs in 2016
alone. On top of this, Sentinel Peak is based in Colorado with a California office in Bakersfield. SLO County bears the environmental costs of oil drilling, while the profits go to a company headquartered in Colorado, with shareholders from around the world. And the costs are significant: aquifer endangerment, fossil fuel emissions from burning natural gas to produce steam, noxious air, and, most significantly, the risk of an injectioninduced earthquake along the Arroyo Grande fault, which forms the northern border of the oil field. In addition to the above-ground destruction, such an earthquake could allow wastewater to migrate and further contaminate wells. Even without an earthquake, injected toxic waste could be migrating into the Santa Maria basin, which provides water for more than 46,000 people in the Five Cities region. As a county, we need to take our groundwater and resources into our own hands. The Arroyo Grande oilfield is one of the least productive oil fields in the state. There is a small, finite amount of oil left that will require increasingly resource-intensive processes to produce. All of this is in direct contrast to the legislation we’ve passed on the county and state level that emphasizes renewable energy. Instead of beating the dead horse that is fossil fuels, it’s time to look to the future and shift our focus toward renewable energy, which will produce more, longerlasting jobs without the negative side effects that accompany oil drilling. ∆ Katie Ferrari is fighting against Big Oil.

Central Coast actors talk about how they make a local living on their craft BY RYAH COOLEY
I
t was the 1980s and teenager Mark Booher decided to audition for PCPA’s (The Pacific Conservatory Theatre) summer cast in Santa Maria. “I remember sitting there thinking, ‘These people are a lot better than me,’” Booher said. He was right. Booher didn’t make the cut that year. But a decade or so later, he returned to PCPA as the artistic director and associate dean. “Things turned out OK,” he said. From PCPA springs a fountain of actors like Robin Williams (Mrs. Doubtfire, Dead Poets Society), Vincent Rodriguez III (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), and Boyd James (four-time Tony award winner who’s PHOTO COURTESY OF RYLO MEDIA DESIGN

acted in Broadway productions like The Heidi Chronicles, She Loves Me, Contact, and Gypsy). But in addition to those who get their start on the Central Coast and become household names across the country, there is a contingent of actors who work to live on the Central Coast. They manage to pay the bills in one of the least affordable places to live in the country by stepping onto local stages like PCPA, the Great American Melodrama, and the San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre. “There is great artistic work happening here and some of that is paying people,” Booher said. “It makes it more possible for people to make their life here.”
The actors’ factory
To the north and south of the Central Coast are the metropolises of LA and San Francisco. Teeming with theater and film acting scenes, those are the places where the wannabe protagonist in a big-budget Hollywood movie go to “make it big.” But between the big cities, tucked away in rural Santa Maria is a rigorous theatertraining program with a unique structure. The two-year intensive acting program is a part of Allan Hancock College, meaning students pay community college tuition to attend and leave with a certificate rather than a degree, making it the only program of its kind in the country. “The idea that they can receive professional level training at community college prices … . I don’t want them exiting the program with $200,000 in debt,” Booher said. “That’s just irresponsible. This way, they can take jobs in the theater rather than focusing on paying off debt.” Aside from being a bargain, PCPA’s conservatory model has its teachers and department heads making up the bulk of the resident theater company. Meaning that these actors get to teach by day and practice their craft by night, often alongside their students—if they manage to land a role. “I just thought they had the best jobs in the world,” said Eric Stein, who went through PCPA’s program in 1988. “And it happened to be on the Central Coast of California.” While Stein had no interest in pursuing higher education, he desperately wanted to return to PCPA as a professor and member of the resident company. So in an attempt to woo the school, he picked up a few stage credits performing on Broadway. The tease worked. For nearly 10 years, Stein has worked as PCPA’s casting director, teaching classes like audition techniques and the business of acting. Right now he’s playing the role of Frolo in the musical The Hunchback of Notre Dame alongside several of his students. “It is so great because we have to walk the walk,” Stein said. “It has definitely made me a better actor, immeasurably. The act of simplifying something down to a clean, teachable sentence just makes me that much better.”

The local scene
NOT WHAT IT SEEMS Billy Breed and Cameron Rose tackle myriad roles, like a Scottish husband and wife running an inn, opposite Timothy Stewart and Kate Worley-Beck in The 39 Steps at the SLO Repertory Theatre in April.
Since actor Toby Tropper (recently seen in The Producers at the San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre) graduated from PCPA five years ago, the longest he’s been between roles (aka, work) has been about a month, and the majority of his acting jobs have come from the Great American Melodrama in Oceano, the SLO Repertory Theatre (formerly SLO Little Theatre), and the Rubicon Theatre Company in Ventura, where Tropper is from. From being a sultry, all-knowing cross-dressing club host in war-time Berlin in Cabaret to becoming a panic attack prone accountant-turnedBroadway schemer in The Producers, Tropper brings a certain level of sincerity and vulnerability to the roles he takes on.

On the road again
Come this summer, Tropper will fill his hatchback Ford Focus with everything he owns and make the long drive to Logan, Utah, to perform with the Lyric Repertory Theatre for the season in productions like Macbeth and Sense and Sensibility. A former PCPA teacher hooked Tropper up with an audition, and he’ll be housed for free as part of the gig. “I’m excited to work with new people and see what it’s like to be at a different theater,” the 26-year-old Tropper said. “I’m kind of enjoying this vagabond regional theater actor thing.” Actors Billy Breed (recently seen in The 39 Steps at the SLO Repertory Theatre) and Karole Foreman (seen in PCPA’s production of Fences in September) are older and more established, with home
bases in Santa Maria and Long Beach, respectively, but they both still travel when the work requires it. Foreman has worked at venues like the Denver Center Theater Company, Long Beach Civic Light Opera, and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. She’s also acted on television shows like Gray’s Anatomy, Law and Order, and Pretty Little Liars. “For a lot us making it in theater, it’s the regional theater scene. Those of us who work are flying under the radar,” Foreman said. “People have no idea there’s some great theater in their backyard.” Dobbs was bit by the theater bug young, performing in PCPA’s The Sound of Music when she was 13. She chose to further her acting craft by studying at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow for her undergrad and on to the Royal Academy of Music in London for her master’s degree. While she’s home on the Central Coast for the moment (she’ll be performing in PCPA’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame in June and also in Mama Mia in July), Dobbs is actively doing Skype auditions for shows in places like New York and London. Besides traveling for work, every three to four months she’s either hopping on a plane or waiting at the airport to see her boyfriend, an English actor she met at school in Scotland who’s currently working in the U.K. “I’m one of those people who kind of gypsies around,” the 25-year-old Dobbs said. “I never think of moving to a place.”
A place to call home
While Foreman currently owns her home in Long Beach, she moved from show to show and actor-sponsored housing situations from 1993 to 2003, working the regional theater circuit. She eventually settled in Las Vegas and bought a home while she performed in the musical Mama Mia. She later moved back to California to be closer to friends and family. “I really wanted to get off the road and establish some roots,” Foreman said. Breed is originally from West Virginia and trained as a professional dancer before an injury caused him to refocus his career on acting. It shows in the highly physical, comedic roles he tends to be cast in, such as a handful of characters in The 39 Steps, including a ne’er-do-well bad guy being hotly pursued by the show’s hero. After four cold years of working as an actor in Chicago, Breed took a leap of faith. He decided to try and make it on the Central Coast, first getting work at the Melodrama, then PCPA, and most recently the SLO Repertory Theatre. He also regularly travels north to work at the Oregon Cabaret Theatre. He currently rents a room from a close friend in Santa Maria as his home base. “You get to a certain age where your priorities shift,” the 55-year-old Breed said. “You think, ‘OK, I still want to be a working actor, but I want to live where I want to live.” Fiore was born and raised in San Luis Obispo and finished up with the certificate program at PCPA in 2011. Shortly after that, his first professional gig was in the Melodrama’s performance of The Werewolf of Dr. Oz. Aside from a stint acting in New York for six months (“Fuck that,” Fiore said. “You have to be so cutthroat. It’s so detached and impersonal.”), he’s mostly worked locally at the Melodrama and SLO Rep (with stints up north at the Sierra Repertory Theatre in Sonora), bouncing back and

forth between actor-sponsored housing and his family’s home. He turns out stunning performances that show the soft, vulnerable underside of grittier, shadier characters—whether it’s the mean bully of a sibling who’s jealous of his brother’s success in True West or the mobster uncle who’s trying to help his nephews through a tough time in Lost in Yonkers. At 26 years old, he recently signed his first lease for a house in Arroyo Grande that he’s renting with his girlfriend, Rachel Tietz, another actor. The two met working in a 2016 production of Trudy and The Beast, playing sidekicks to the lead characters. Sparks flew on- and offstage. “I like it here,” Fiore said. “Paying bills, mowing a lawn, this is all new to me, and it’s weird how that can be delayed. I’m kind of seeding roots in this area.”

theaters within a roughly 30-mile radius to try and earn paychecks at. “It’s been great to provide another place for local actors to work,” SLO Rep Managing Artistic Director Kevin Harris said. “Everyone really wants to stay around here; it’s a beautiful place.” The theater is in the early stages of fundraising for a new building in the downtown area that could cost anywhere from $7 million to $10 million. They hope to break ground in 2021 or 2022. With the additional space that theater would provide, Harris said SLO Rep could expand its offerings for children’s theater classes as well as add acting and stagecraft classes for adults. Harris also wants to bring in playwrights who could workshop material
with local actors, enabling the theater to produce and perform original work. One day, SLO Repertory Theatre could even become a conservatory like PCPA, but that would be years and years down the road, Harris said. “That’s certainly the direction we’re going in, though it’s not a hard and fast plan,” Harris said. “We want to be a part of the larger artistic discussion about theater and evolve the art form.” With more potential to create and develop theater in SLO, actors like Fiore and Tietz are considering going back to school to be more competitive as potential hires should that potential conservatory take shape in SLO. Fiore can also see himself maybe one day teaching something unrelated to theater, like social studies, while acting on the side as a hobby. “It’s a weird gig, and people don’t understand it,” Fiore said of acting. “It’s great if your career makes you happy, but if trying to make the thing you enjoy a career makes you miserable, what’s the point? I haven’t branched out a lot.” Rose said he plans to go home to PHOTO COURTESY OF JAMIE FOSTER PHOTOGRAPHY

Alhambra after the run of Less Miserable is over at the Melodrama in mid-June. Rose grew up in the theater and went straight to PCPA after high school. In some ways, acting is all the 24-year-old has ever known. “As I get older and my priorities shift around, I ask myself where I want to be and how much stability do I want,” Rose said. “I wonder if I’d be good at anything else.” Rose doesn’t know what his future holds, but he’s mulling it over. He’s considering maybe working with animals and wildlife, possibly volunteering at the Vervet Monkey Foundation in South Africa, which rehabilitates and provides sanctuary for orphaned, injured, and abandoned primates. Or maybe not. “There’s such great theater on the Central Coast,” Rose said. “PCPA, Melodrama, and SLO Rep are just very special. It doesn’t feel like theater is dying. It’s such a beautiful place. It’s difficult to leave. Maybe I won’t leave.” ∆ Arts Editor Ryah Cooley works full time at New Times, and yes they actually pay her. Send comments to rcooley@newtimesslo.com. PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

Lifting the veil of violence
O
persisted. That’s no excuse, but we’re looking inside the mind of a teen killer. What role violent video games played in this particular instance remains to be seen as little information about the killer’s background is available. Yet we can’t overlook negative influences. Army psychologist Dave Grossman, an expert on what motivates people to kill, wrote, “Practice murder … day after day [on a violent video game] and a person, especially a kid, can come to want, expect, and seek murder … then choose to act them out. Perversion will likely prevail on multiple levels in this kid’s life … not only in the video games he plays. Video games are good at making kids feel satisfied, are habit forming, addictive … effective teachers and trainers … especially good at desensitization.” Nor can the state of resources for those with severe mental health problems be overlooked. Our current availability of hospital beds to treat the severely mentally ill (as opposed to those with mental illness) has been reduced to levels not seen since 1850. These people end up on our streets and overcrowded jails with as much as 37 percent of the prison population being inmates with severe mental illness. It’s time to harden all schools immediately; the police need time to respond and even if on campus will take minutes to locate and neutralize a shooter. Hardening school entrances and classrooms will provide desperate minutes needed to preserve lives. Until we as a nation are willing to put political disputes behind us and address the problem of teen violence, these incidents will only continue and worsen. ∆
nce again, we awoke to news of another school massshooting accompanied by lots of misinformation, conjecture, and justified outrage. The focus of the outrage is directed at the usual suspects: the NRA, conservatives, the Second Amendment, and indifferent parenting. We hear responses about arming teachers and putting more police in schools and replies of, “We don’t want our schools to be fortresses or prisons.” The guns used in this most recent shooting in a Santa Fe, Texas, high school were an illegally modified “sawed-off shotgun” and a .38 caliber revolver that holds six shots before reloading. Neither qualifies as an “assault weapon.” Both were illegally acquired and possessed by the shooter. Those who resist hardening schools by closing campuses, limiting access through one entrance only, using ballistic shielding on classroom doors/doorframes and installing bullet-resistant glass must answer this question: Are your children less valuable than your money? Your bank accounts are held in armored vaults. Procedures in most schools make it easier for a killer to gain entrance to a school than it is for a mother to obtain release for her child to attend a dental appointment. Hardening of schools, which are also targets for terrorists, should not be controversial. It’s something we can do immediately, and federal funding should pay for it. Misinformation after such massacres abounds, and we’re not helped by careless reporting. Many news outlets reported that either 18 or 22 such incidents have already occurred this year. Even Fox News cited that number. That number is wrong, not even close to being accurate as TV news station KHOU 11 of Houston,
Texas, corrected. The number citing 18 shootings (or 22 in some cases) includes smaller incidents that are not “mass shootings”—incidents no reasonable person would consider a mass shooting. It includes individual crimes, such as armed robbery, accidental discharges of weapons, suicides, and one-on-one gang violence on or near school grounds. Since last autumn we’ve had four major mass-shooting incidents: the Las Vegas massacre, the attack on a rural Texas church, the Broward County school shooting, and now the Santa Fe, Texas, school shooting. Within the United States, going back decades, 25 percent of mass shootings are motivated by religious or political terrorism. All that being said, even one such incident is too many. Reports citing declining national crime rates are supposed to somehow comfort us. That notion is also false. The “rate” of crime is misleading as having a larger population, improved medical treatment of trauma, and inaccurate crime databases gives a misleading impression of the amount of violence in our society. For instance, if today’s medical practices were those of 1957, our “murder rate” would be triple the current stated numbers. Medical advances save many trauma victims who would have died 50 years ago. Many crimes are never reported, further skewing the amount of violence in our society. Again, so what! Why are kids killing their peers in school? Is it because we have access to so many guns? Are there not enough gun laws? What’s happening? When I attended school in the ’50s and ’60s, there were few gun laws; buying a gun was easy with few restrictions. Kids brought unloaded guns to class for educational purposes, and some had gun-
racks in their cars with hunting rifles without a thought. Nobody got shot. The first documented school mass-shooting by a student took place in 1975; before that, kids weren’t slaughtering classmates in America. (Adults attacked schools before that date, but the kids weren’t killing their peers wholesale.) So what’s changed? Several factors are at work. One is moral; we’ve indoctrinated several generations of students to believe they are but specks of dust in a vast, impersonal universe; life has no meaning or purpose, you’re an accident of impersonal forces, and what is, is all there ever will be. Not much to look forward to. The subsequent narcissism celebrates who wins, who loses, regardless of the cost to others. Superficial traits, be it appearance, success, or popularity dominate the immature adolescent mind. Add social media and unending barrages of negative input—self-esteem is destroyed. In girls, this results in an alarming, increasing rate of suicide. In boys, it’s often manifested in outward aggression, usually identifiable by self-isolation, reflecting a sullen attitude or mode of dress. The Santa Fe killer often wore a black T-shirt emblazoned “Born to Kill” under a black trench coat in Texas’ 90-degree heat and humidity (as did the Columbine killers). Nobody seemed to notice except his peers. Where were the school counselors? Classmates told media that he was bullied by school athletic staff, and a victim’s mother reported he unsuccessfully sought her daughter’s romantic attentions for months leading up to the massacre. She stated that the week prior he was publicly rebuffed and humiliated by her daughter before his peers when his unwanted attentions

19% Why does the aquarium even have an octopus—isn’t it closing soon?
Lynn Compton has stated Public Facility Fee (PFF) money was “pilfered” by two of her peers. This is patently not true, and she knows it. During the 1990s and 2000s, numerous attempts were made by SLO County Parks and Recreation to define what Nipomo residents wanted, but consensus could not be reached among Nipomo residents. The Nipomo Park Master Plan took 10 years to complete because of the controversy, threats of lawsuits, and requirement of a full-blown EIR, rather than a negative declaration. The available money to do projects had time limits, and the money was spent elsewhere in the 4th District including: Biddle, Oceano, and Jack Ready parks; the soccer fields at Nipomo High School; the Dana Adobe; plus local community trails. Nipomo itself has received more than $2 million of PFF expenditures. For Ms. Compton to say the money was “pilfered” is flatly a lie. As Albert Einstein once said, “Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with the important matters.” Pandora Nash-Karner Los Osos
We have a rare opportunity on the Central Coast to elect a representative to the California Assembly who does not just recite the hot-button sound bites of the moment but who lives the life he espouses. Bill Ostrander is a strong advocate for the environment. He did ecological and humanitarian work in Africa for a year on his own dime; has been a green building contractor; and is a regenerative, sustainable farmer. As a lifelong volunteer, Bill has encouraged others to join him, especially our youth. With his help, our local high schools are beginning volunteer programs for their students. Bill stands firmly against the obscene amount of money in our electoral system that is corrupting our democracy. For years, he has put aside his personal life to be the volunteer director of Citizens Congress, a nonprofit dedicated to campaign finance reform. As a private citizen he has lobbied 65 Congressional offices, given a Congressional briefing, and written legislation to bring a voucher system to our local elections. Recently, with Salud Carbajal, he co-wrote the Corporate

While it appears that most politicians are focused on protecting their jobs, and not the taxpayer, Supervisor Lynn Compton shines. Compton has worked diligently to promote our local economy. She is practical, fiscally conservative, and ethical. Her opponent Jimmy Paulding, on the other hand, is using fearmongering to garner votes. He appears to ignore not only recent scientific studies that there is no toxic silica blowing from the dunes onto the Mesa, but also the devastating economic impacts that shutting down the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area would have on the entire county. Looking over his donor list, almost all live in Trilogy, a neighborhood on the Mesa whose residents have been told that off-road vehicles on the Oceano Dunes are making them ill. Supervisors Hill

But it makes no sense that increasing the cost of building a home will create lowcost housing. Compton wants less out of our paychecks and more in our pockets.

Look beyond self-interest
In addressing the Shredder’s May 3 column on immigration (“The last stand”), Mike Source’s May 17 letter (“Dear Mr. Shredder”) laments his having to compete with undocumented immigrants for construction work. However, he shows zero concern for immigrant families seeking safety and a better life, and for Americans who hire construction workers and appreciate the competition that Mr. Source finds so distressing. Sad, but not surprising. To today’s Ayn Rand-style conservatives, the needs of others count for nothing. Dave Raleigh San Luis Obispo
Get out and vote!
In less than two weeks there is a primary election around here—June 5 to be exact. I don’t know if anybody else opens their junk mail, but we all got a sample ballot for the state of California primary election. There are 27 candidates for governor of California. The world’s fifth largest economy, etc., has 27 candidates for governor. Some candidates did not submit a photo, some have no platform statement, a couple just list a website. It makes me wonder: What qualifications are required to get a spot on the official California primary ballot? A prime example: By lottery placement, candidate 27 gets the entire last page: Johnny Wattenburg. His is by far the most engaging headshot of all—you just know you could drink a beer with this

The 2nd District needs something different
We need positive change in SLO County’s 2nd District supervisor position. The incumbent has had 12 years and is asking for 16. His policies have resulted in the highest unfunded pension liability in the history of the county and hugely expensive and unaffordable infrastructure projects on the North Coast because of a lack of regional vision. Enough is enough—he has the audacity to ask for another four years of failed policy? No way! Jeff Eckles is the positive change we need on the Central Coast. Jeff’s finance and business ownership background will bring the accountability and fiscal responsibility needed to solve the unfunded pension liability and unaffordability challenges we face today. We need to move beyond the status quo and put someone in office who truly cares about the residents and our future. Jeff has the leadership, fresh ideas, and a true nonpartisan approach that will put our county back on track toward a brighter future. Michael Wade Morro Bay

The Shredder
Unfree speech
D
ear Cal Poly students who are also members of the SLO Peace Coalition, I see you’re under investigation from the Cal Poly Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities for protesting against Military Industrial Complex lifetime achievement award-winner Raytheon during the April 19 Cal Poly Career Fair. Want to know why you’re in trouble? Huh? Do you? It’s because you did it all wrong. You wouldn’t be in trouble right now if you’d simply wore blackface. According to Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong, Kyler Watkins, the Lambda Chi Alpha frat boy and Cal Poly student who wore blackface, was simply exercising his freedom of speech. But you little granola-crunching, tree-hugging, commie peaceniks who disrupted a career (Not job! Career!) fair, you little upstarts are on double secret probation! Raytheon—the company behind the $1.4 million-each Tomahawk missile, of which President Donald “I’ll Get Us Out of These Stupid Wars … Not!” Trump lobbed a cool 50 or so last month at Syria (Are we at war with Syria? Who can keep track! Anyway, bye bye $70 million!)—reportedly pays Cal Poly annually to be a “career partner” and had a booth to recruit new little warmongers. How dare the SLO Peace Coalition interfere with one of Cal Poly’s revenue streams! Why, the nerve! The
unmitigated gall of these learnby-spewing free speechers! Come on guys, how is Cal Poly supposed to milk those war teats if students are protesting them? So what terrible transgression did these protesters engage in? Did they upend Raytheon’s table like Jesus in the temple with the money changers? Did they accost students and forcibly stop them from picking up one of Raytheon’s “Join us and learn how to blow people up halfway around the world” brochures? Did they put daisies into the barrels of Cal Poly Police officers’ 9mms? No, they marched into the career fair with a sign that read “DIVEST FROM WAR STOP THE WAR MACHINE” and then for about 15 minutes sang, “I’m proud to be a student but we see right through your greed/ You’re killing all across the world for that war money/ But we proudly rise up until you put your weapons down/ when the people of the world unite we will do what’s right,” and then they yelled their demand for Cal Poly to divest from war companies. Actually, while I’m giving you kids advice, recruit an English major or two to help with your lyrics. And nothing personal, but get a few Cal Poly choir members to join up. Y’all are way out of tune! That said, you eight activists who were part of that protest and who are
now apparently under investigation by a university that apparently can’t hold rapists and racists accountable, you should be proud of yourselves! Instead of investigating you and threatening sanctions against you for engaging in what was clearly a peaceful, non-violent, anti-war protest, Cal Poly should be giving you awards, scholarships, and bumper stickers for your parents’ cars: “Proud Parent of a Poly Peacenik.” Instead, according to students involved, Cal Poly claims the protesters violated the university’s Student Code of Conduct for an unpermitted sign as well as willfully and substantially disrupting university business. Blackface? That’s free speech! Protesting the war machine? You’re in trouble now, you little do-gooders! Whoever at Cal Poly decided this was the correct course of action, please slap yourself right upside your head. You’re an idiot. Go investigate who’s writing the N-word in university bathrooms or actually do something about the student who has multiple—as in more than one, from more than one person—sexual assault allegations lodged against him! Don’t worry though, Cal Poly spokesman Matt Lazier said, “There were no arrests associated with the protest, nor were any criminal charges submitted to the District Attorney’s Office.” Well, I didn’t really think either of those things was warranted, but um, thanks for the clarification. Not to name names or insinuate insinuations, but there’s this guy named William Swanson who used to be
Raytheon’s CEO. He’s currently a member of Armstrong’s leadership cabinet and the chair of the Cal Poly Foundation. Swanson also donated $10 million to the Cal Poly golf team, so don’t you peaceniks get any ideas about carrying unauthorized signs around on the green—I can see arrests and criminal charges in your future. And on a quick side note, it turns out that SLO County Assessor Tom Bordonaro’s challenger, former employee David Boyer, was right about Bordonaro’s shoddy attendance record at work. Looks like he spends more time with a fishing rod than the tax code. Bordonaro, who’s confined to a wheelchair and has suffered health problems and surgeries, claims that though illness kept him from coming into the office, he’s kept up with his work. Eleven current and former employees—that’s a lot of corroboration— beg to differ. They say Bordonaro’s time at “the ranch” has affected the office and how it operates. At what point should Bordonaro—who’s made more than $2 million in taxpayer money during his 16-year tenure as assessor—decide that he can’t do the job justice? Who’s in charge over there, anyway? You are. But the performance evaluation only comes every four years! The only one who can hold people in elected office accountable is you. So do your thing, electorate. Yes, I’m talking to you. Get your ass off the couch and vote! ∆ The Shredder must shred, couch or no couch. Send ideas and comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Our community is the center of everything we do. Since Dignity Health acquired French Hospital Medical Center in 2004, we’ve looked for ways to meet our community’s growing needs.
2007
Opened the Copeland, Forbes & Rossi Cardiac Care Center.
2008 Opened the Hearst Cancer Resource Center. 2014
Built the George Hoag Family Advanced Hybrid Surgical Suite.
2015
Built the Copeland Health Education Pavilion.
2017
Expanded the Stollmeyer Family Birthing Center and Acute Care Nursery.
In Progress Expanding our Emergency Department into the Oppenheimer Family Center for Emergency Medicine. Today, the greatest need in the hospital is more space. French Hospital Medical Center was founded more than 70 years ago, and our current facility was built in the 1970s. We’re simply over capacity. Our $100 million expansion will double our capacity for general acute care and transform very aspect of patient service. Learn about Your New French Hospital.

vividly remember how wowed I was watching the 1991 film The Commitments about a white working class Irish band playing African-American style soul and R&B. When pudgy, white Irishman Andrew Strong as lead singer Deco Cuffe starts belting out Wilson Pickett’s “In the Midnight Hour,” it’s simply amazing. I get that same wowed sensation whenever I watch white, pudgy St. Paul and The Broken Bones frontman Paul Janeway deliver one of his band’s PHOTO COURTESY OF CHRIS AYER

Late add to the free Avila Beach Blues Fest!
I mentioned last week that Huey Lewis and the News had to pull out of the 25th annual Avila Beach Blues Festival, but instead of canceling the show, Otter Productions made it free! This week, I learned that Pryor Baird from The Voice TV show will join Shemekia Copeland and headliner the Fabulous Thunderbirds with Kim Wilson on Sunday, May 27, at the Avila Beach Golf Resort (gates open at noon, the show starts at 2 p.m.; those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult; no tickets needed, but first-come, first-served). Baird, 35, is from Orcutt but moved to Nashville to further his career, and though he was eventually eliminated from The Voice competition, he made a strong impression on both the judges and audience. “Music is my language,” Baird wrote on his Facebook page. “From Orcutt to Nashville, I’ve never stopped working at my dream. NBC’s The Voice has given me the opportunity to share what I do with viewers across America. I plan to keep myself growing and evolving with music for the rest of my life.” Should be a great afternoon at the beach! Thanks for the free show, Otter Productions!

Pottery Coast creates artists’ community in Grover Beach
I
n a nondescript industrial area on Front Street in Grover Beach, a hub for artists is tucked away, just out of sight. The words “Channel Island Arts Inc.” in faded paint are just above a newer, brighter coat of paint that reads “Pottery Coast.” The creative makers spot was opened just a few months ago by owners Greg and Susan Bass after Susan struggled to find a place to commune with other artists that was also set up with everything a ceramicist needs. The two moved to the Central Coast to raise their family 18 years ago, but the art bug bit her after she attended an art fair seven years ago. Shortly after that, she decided to take a ceramics class with a friend and was instantly hooked. “There’s something about clay, that earth element, when you touch it,” Susan said. She wanted to do more, but most ceramics classes offered at schools and colleges were seasonal, and studios tended to limit artists to just a few hours to drop in and work on projects. So for five years, Susan toured pottery studios in California, Nevada, and New York to get ideas. She wanted to open the perfect space to create on the Central Coast as part of her Master of Fine Arts project at Sierra Nevada College. “Pottery is community; it’s something you do together,” Susan said. In that spirit of togetherness, Pottery Coast offers memberships where artists are given their own access code and can come in and work seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., along with different classes called “tribes,” where artists can gather and work at the same time or get a little instruction from Susan. Until a year and a half ago, the building housed Channel Island Arts Inc., a bronze foundry that made just about every bronze statue in the SLO area (including the Cal Poly mustang) for several decades. To honor that legacy, the Basses have kept the old sign up, and Susan made a special bronze glaze, along with her other homemade glazes that are

available for artists to use. From the prized large gas kiln, to an outdoor area for glazing, to a series of stations with potter’s wheels, to a cabinet filled with every tool a ceramicist could need, to another cabinet filled with vino to help get the artistic juices flowing, the Basses have carefully stocked the space with just the right things in just the right layout for a piece to
Break the mold
Pottery Coast is located at 480 Front St. in Grover Beach, inside the historic Channel Island Arts Inc. building. They offer wheel and handbuilding tribes, memberships, and open studio hours seven days a week. Memberships are $99 a month and give access to the studio every day from 10 a.m. to 9p.m. Visit potterycoast.com for more information.

start as a lump of clay and come out of the kiln shiny and newly transformed into a work of art. “People can come in and practice all they want,” Greg said. “It’s all to build an arts community.” Right now, Pottery Coast is the only high-fire studio between Pasadena and San Jose and has 50 members so far. Greg and Susan said they think they’ll end up capping the number of memberships at somewhere between 64 to 78. “I think art can do a lot for a community,” Susan said. “And it’s right by the beach.” ∆ Arts Editor Ryah Cooley is admiring that vase, that one, over there at rcooley@ newtimesslo.com.

avid Leitch (Atomic Blonde) directs this sequel about irreverent former mercenary-turned-mutant superhero Wade “Deadpool” Wilson (Ryan Reynolds), who this time around convenes a team of fellow mutants to protect a supernaturally gifted young boy, Russell “Firefist” Collins (Julian Dennison), from the vengeful, time-traveling mutant Cable (Josh Brolin). (119 min.) Glen Color me surprised, but I actually think Deadpool 2 is better than its excellent predecessor! It’s full of more zippy one-liners, more gleeful pop culture references, and more ridiculous overthe-top violence. When the film opens, Deadpool is in a suicidal frame of mind thanks to the murder of his girlfriend, Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), but seeing as how he’s essentially un-killable, even five barrels of fuel oil won’t do the trick. X-Men team member Colossus (voiced by Stefan Kapicic) picks up the literal pieces, stuffs them in a sack, and hauls Deadpool back to the X-Mansion to await his recovery. Made an X-Men trainee, Deadpool eventually joins Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), and her chipper new girlfriend Yukio (Shioli Kutsuna) on an X-Men mission to try to stop Russell “Firefist” Collins from destroying the Headmaster (Eddie Marsan) and his torturous Mutant Re-education Center for young X-Men like Russell. Being a “shoot first and sort it out later” kind of guy, Deadpool mucks it up and soon finds he and Russell are both incarcerated in the “Icebox,” a high-security prison for violent mutants. It’s there that time-traveling Cable shows up to kill Russell, who in the future is responsible for Cable’s family’s death. A fight ensues, and Deadpool and Cable tumble out of the Icebox, going their separate ways. Meanwhile, now that the Icebox has been compromised, the prisoners—including Russell—are being transported to a new prison by train. Can Deadpool and his best bud Weasel (T.J. Miller) assemble a team of superheroes to protect Russell from Cable’s inevitable attack on the prison convoy, and will this team consist of misfit “heroes” such as Domino (Zazie Beetz), Vanisher (Brad Pitt in a great cameo), Zeitgeist (Bill

Will it be a disastrously feeble rescue attempt? Yes! Will you laugh your ass off? Yes, yes you will. Deadpool 2 is right on the mark! Anna It’s been awhile since I’ve watched the first Deadpool film, so while I can’t confidently say this one comes out funnier than the last, I can say for sure it comes out funny as hell. I’m not a huge superhero film fan—I couldn’t stomach the thought of watching a 19th Avengers movie when Infinity Wars came out—but I do enjoy the ones that play outside the box, and Deadpool is just the sort of hero this non-joiner anti-cheerleader chick needs. He’s dirty and funny and sort of terrible at being a hero, save for the fact that he is an un-killable badass who feels just sorry enough for himself to keep going. His pull to Russell is a bit of a mystery, chalked up to vulnerability after the loss of his love and the weird adorableness of Dennison, who I first fell for in Hunt for the Wilderpeople. (Which if you haven’t seen you should. No, really, right now. It’s a great film.) Deadpool 2 is poppy and deliciously crude, the sort of movie that would make me blush if my mom was next to me, but also giggle uncontrollably alongside her. It hits every base for me. Reynolds is a good looking

dude, and fortunately he doesn’t take that fact so seriously that he won’t take on a character that is ugly in more ways than one, and also really beautiful in others. Wade and Ness’ love story is sultry and silly, white hot and built for a slow burn, basically a wildly relatable as well as “relationship goals” mash-up that left me (no joke) in some real tears at the end of this flick. Glen Reynolds was born to play this role. His delivery is spot on, and it has to be. Most of the time he’s acting under the Deadpool mask, and the rest of the time—save for one scene where he looks like himself—Reynolds is under hideous burn-victim skin. Wade’s relationship with Ness, who he sees in cryptic visions at various times of immense stress, is what drives him to help Russell and try to be a better person. “Your heart’s not in the right place,” she tells him, leading him to continue to try to help Russell even though he often seems like a lost cause. Cable, who turns out to not be the villain everyone expects, doesn’t think Russell is worth saving, but this is a feel-good

moments of rest and respite, but they come few and far between in this bombastic and overblown tale. It’s everything you want in a comic book movie, but turned up to 11. Some will like that, others won’t. The film opens with Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) overcome by Thanos, then it hands off to Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), who enlists Tony Stark/ Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) to save the universe. Banner has to round up Steve Rogers/Capt. America (Chris Evans). When they’re attacked by Thanos’ minions, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) has to show up and rescue them. Meanwhile the Guardians of the Galaxy (Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana,
and Chris Pratt) have to rescue Thor from outer space death. Various superheroes are trying to protect various “infinity stones” that Thanos is trying to acquire so he can kill off half the universe with a literal snap of his fingers. And soon James “Rhodey” Rhodes/War Machine (Don Cheadle), Vision (Paul Bettany), Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie), and Bucky Barnes/White Wolf (Sebastian Stan) all convene at T’Challa/ Black Panther’s (Chadwick Boseman) hidden kingdom of Wakanda for a final showdown with Thanos. It’s exhausting! It’s also pretty exhilarating! Its ending, however, is bullshit! I suspect everyone who’s a Marvel fan has already added to the film’s $250 million opening weekend, but if you haven’t
film where everyone can learn a valuable lesson, and since Cable has a time-travel device … well, even a hapless guy like Peter, who joined Deadpool’s superhero team even though he admittedly doesn’t have a superpower, has a chance at a second chance. Deadpool 2 makes fun of itself, Superman, the X-Men, the Marvel Universe, Marvel’s competitor DC Comics, Batman—you name it. No one and nothing is safe from skewering. Heck, even Barbra Streisand and Yentl get it right in the kisser. Ka-pow! I wouldn’t have it any other way. Anna I tend to go into sequels with a bit of trepidation, but luckily for this franchise it was unwarranted. This is a movie you want to stay through the credits for; it just keeps on giving you more. I am sold if any future Deadpool films spring up. This anti-hero superhero is the kind of guy I can get behind. A great soundtrack plays a key role as well, and no one is safe from the ridicule of Wade, even Ms. Streisand as you mentioned. My guess is that almost everyone is going to love this film. It isn’t the one to take your teetotaler auntie to, nor your 4-year-old nephew, but otherwise this is a pretty solid hit. I for one am sold on this character as nothing short of hilarious and heartfelt. Is it worth a trip to the theater?

Most of the Guardians of the Galaxy, dead! Even Black Panther, dead! That’s not how superhero movies are supposed to end, right? This ending is lame. Most of these actors have multi-film contracts. Are we to assume, for instance, that the upcoming Guardians and Black Panther films— already in the works—are all going to be prequels?

ISLE OF DOGS
What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? The Palm Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom) directs this stop-motion animated tale about Atari Kobayashi (Koyu Rankin), a young boy living in nearfuture dystopian Japan, who goes in search of his dog, Spots (Live Schreiber), which has been banished—as have all dogs— to Trash Island because of a dog flu outbreak. Along the way, Atari receives help from other banished dogs, including Rex (Edward Norton), King (Bob Balaban), Duke (Jeff Goldblum), Boss (Bill Murray), and Chief (Bryan Cranston). Meanwhile back in Megasaki City, dog-banisher and Mayor Kobayashi (Kunichi Nomura)—Atari’s guardian—works to thwart Professor Watanabe (Akira Ito), who’s developing a cure for the dog flu, so the Mayor can carry out his evil plan to exterminate all dogs. Talking dogs feels completely natural in Isle of Dogs, which explores the unique relationships between humans and dogs from the dogs’ perspective. Chief, for instance, is a stray, and his pack members subtly and silently judge him for it. Nutmeg is a former show dog used to regular grooming and being fawned over, but like all the other dogs banished to Trash Island, she lost her elevated position and deals with it with a level of class that’s hard not to admire. This sort of anthropomorphization is human nature—we love to imagine our pets have an inner dialogue and love us the same way we love them. Anderson has a lot of fun exploring how dogs think of humans and each other. Ultimately, this is a film about relationships, loyalty, honor, and ethics, which are pretty heavy topics, but first and foremost, this is a wonderful looking film. I absolutely loved it! It helps that there’s a great cast doing great voice work with some fun surprises. Courtney B. Vance’s smooth voice as The Narrator provides necessary context, John Lennon’s former wife Yoko Ono makes a vocal appearance as AssistantScientist Yoko Ono, and long-time Anderson collaborator Anjelica Huston is credited as voicing a character named Mute Poodle, meaning she has no lines. Greta Gerwig is terrific as earnest and idealistic exchange student Tracy Walker. Even though the story centers on Atari and his search for Spots, this is really Chief’s story. He’s the character with the biggest arc, the one who has to learn about the sacred relationship between man and dog, who also has to learn he’s good enough to deserve a mate like Nutmeg. The dogs are actually a lot more complex than most of the human characters, and it’s Chief we’re rooting for more than Atari. (101 min.) —Glen Starkey

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Rental Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Galaxy From writer/director Ben Falcone (Tammy, The Boss) and his co-writer/wife Melissa McCarthy (Ghostbusters, Bridesmaids) comes the summer comedy Life of the Party. When her husband, Dan (Matt Walsh, Brigsby Bear, Elf ) suddenly dumps her, longtime dedicated housewife Deanna (McCarthy) turns regret into reset by going back to college ... landing in the same class and school as her daughter, Maddie (Molly Gordan, I Am Sam) who’s not entirely sold on the idea. Plunging headlong into the campus experience, the increasingly outspoken Deanna—now Dee Rock—embraces freedom, fun and frat boys on her own terms, finding her true self in a senior year no one ever expected. I’ve enjoyed Melissa McCarthy’s work ever since she was in Gilmore Girls. That said, I didn’t have super high hopes going into The Life of the Party. McCarthy’s films have become a bit stale, not bad, but not great, and always leaning heavily on a particular brand of over the top, crude comedy. Don’t get me wrong; I loved it in Bridesmaids, but a handful of films later it’s started to get a bit stale. The premise isn’t terribly original. After her husband leaves her for another woman, Deanna, who dropped out of college when she got pregnant with their daughter, Maddie, decides to back to school to finally finish her degree … at the same college her daughter is attending! Shenanigans ensue! Insert awkward mother-daughter walks of shame and 80s themed college parties with way too many shots of cheap tequila. This time around with a PG-13 rating, McCarthy, leaned on a sweeter, awkward brand of mom humor complete with dorky puff paint adorned sweaters and a woke sense of feminism. It was a refreshing change of pace. Due to the PG-13 rating, you won’t actually see any scenes of McCarthy banging the much younger Jack (Luke Benward, Field of Lost Shoes) Maddie’s boyfriend Tyler’s (Jimmy O. Yang, Patriot’s Day) BFF. They do play that May-December relationship as Jack being in love with Deanna, rather than some weird MILF fetish, which is kind of sweet, I think? Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids) is hilarious as Deanna’s ultra supportive smack-talking bestie who’s always sneaking off to have sex with her husband in public places. Julie Bowen as the realtor, Marcie, who steals Deanna’s husband, just comes off as a mean version of her type A mom character from Modern Family. Chris Parnell (Anchorman) is charming as Deanna’s pun-cracking archaeology professor. Leonar (Heidi Gardner, Saturday Night Live) is perfect as Deanna’s super creepy and weird roomie with an aversion to sunlight.

was stuck in a comma for eight years and is a minor celebrity on Twitter because of it. She’s the first to take a shine to Deanna when they bond over a shared hatred of the mean girl in archaeology class. Gordan as Deanna’s daughter is utterly bland and forgettable. McCarthy’s character could have had no daughter and simply had a midlife crisis and chosen to go back to college and the film would have been about as funny for all the impact Gordan had on the story. This film isn’t Bridesmaids level great, nor is it worth spending $15 at the movie theater, but had I not already seen it I would perk up a little bit when it came to my local Redbox.

OVERBOARD
What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Rental Where’s it showing? Stadium 10, Park Director Rob Greenberg, best known for his television work (How I Met Your Mother, Scrubs), steers this role reversing remake/re-imagining of 1987’s Overboard. After falling off his luxury yacht while partying too hard, wealthy playboy Leonardo (Eugenio Derbez, How to Be a Latin Lover) wakes up on the Oregon coast with amnesia. Upon recognizing his face on the news, Kate (Anna Faris, Mom), a single mother and carpet cleaner who was mistreated and unjustly fired by Leo, hatches a scheme—convince the amnesiac he’s her husband. Luckily for Kate, the only person searching for the missing heir is his sister, Magdalena (Cecilia Suarez). But she devises a plan of her own after finding him at the hospital. “Is this your brother?” One of the doctors asks her. “No, I’ve never seen this man before in my life.” She replies and quickly leaves without Leo seeing her. With her brother out of the way, Magdalena is next in line to inherit their deathbed-ridden father’s company. With the rest of his family under the assumption he was eaten by sharks (yep), Leo is free for Kate to take. And she does. Leo knows right off the bat, as Goldie Hawn’s character did in the original, that something isn’t right. But without a single memory to turn to, Leo is stuck believing Kate’s lie, which is backed up by fake documents and her knowledge of a Speedy Gonzales tattoo on his butt. It took me a little while to get on board (get it?) with this Overboard. I know you’re supposed to hate Leo in the beginning, but I found his obnoxiousness overbearing at times (he’s a womanizing drunkard as opposed to Hawn’s snobby socialite). But once that finally settles down, and Leo becomes more “accustomed” to his new, humble surroundings, the film gets funnier. The hardest thing for Leo to believe at first, besides having to work for a living, is that he’s a father. While the predictable, budding romance between Leo and Kate is fun, the real heart of this story lies with the kids. No matter how ludicrous the circumstances are, he slowly becomes the closest thing to a father figure Kate’s three daughters have ever known. And as sappy and improbable as it is, the bond he forms with them won me over. There’s one scene near the end that involves a bicycle (that’s all I’ll say) where I was close to crying. I kid you not; this moment has just as much, if not more, weight to it than anything in Avengers: Infinity War. Then again, the last five minutes of that are funnier than this entire film, so it’s all relative. (112 min.) —Caleb Wiseblood

RBG
What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? The Palm RBG is a must-see documentary chronicling Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s improbable life and career, superbly highlighting her heroic litigation in the 1970s to overturn laws that discriminated by gender, her tenure on the Supreme Court that’s been defined by her scathing dissents, and the ways in which she’s inspired a new generation of women, becoming a cultural phenomenon at the ripe age of 85. Beyond those highlights, RBG offers a poignant portrayal of Ginsburg as a person, her reserved and steely yet sweet temperament, and her genuinely beautiful marriage. Filmmakers Betsy West and Julie Cohen really capture Ginsburg’s humanity through interviews with her, her friends, and family members, which add a valuable layer of depth to the documentary. Ginsburg, a Brooklyn native, entered Harvard Law School in 1956 as one of nine women in a class of 500. She juggled her coursework with caring for both her baby and her husband, who had fallen ill with cancer (but ultimately survived). After graduating, she struggled to find law work as a female professional, despite being at the top of her class. Ginsburg eventually became a professor at Columbia University, where she pioneered a class on gender discrimination. In the ’70s, Ginsburg argued a series of discrimination cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. Here, West and Cohen manage to make what could have been a dry rundown of court cases compelling and dramatic. They tracked down the plaintiffs

on these cases, who had faced gender-based discrimination ranging from unequal pay to unequal benefits as military service members. RBG weaves original audio from Ginsburg’s oral arguments with commentary from Ginsburg and others to drive home the historical significance of those cases. Almost singlehandedly, Ginsburg changed the legal landscape for all women in the country. RBG begins and ends with exploring her legacy, particularly among the newest generation of Americans. As the Supreme Court turned more and more conservative in the early 2000s, Ginsburg’s dissenting opinions became her signature and drew attention from young progressives. At 85 years old today, her spunk and sharp intellect are widely adored. T-shirts labeled “Notorious RBG” have become a hit, and goofy web images with her face imprinted on various superheroes have gone viral on the Internet.

Reitman and Cody make good team. Juno remains one of my favorite films, and though I didn’t think Young Adult was in the same league as the pair’s first go-around, it was a remarkably frank look at stunted growth and narcissism. Tully takes a crack at motherhood, exploring the exhaustion is causes and the endless patience it requires. Marlo herself questions her choices and yearns for her carefree youth, living in Brooklyn with what may have been an early lesbian love affair. That’s the heart of this story: How does she reconcile her choices, get over her regrets, and learn to love her life? Tully is there to not only help her with her kids, but to help her with herself.

In an attempt to regain control of his fate, Brady undertakes a search for a new identity and tries to redefine his idea of what it means to be a man in the heartland of America.

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Rental Where’s it showing? Sunset Drive-In Co-writer and director Jay Chandrasekhar helms this sequel to the 2001 comedy classic from the Broken Lizard comedy crew. This time around the Vermont State Troopers are tasked with establishing a Highway Patrol station in a disputed area between the U.S. and Canadian border. Arcot ‘Thorny’ Ramathorn (Jay Chandrasekhar), MacIntyre ‘Mac’ Womack (Steve Lemme), Robert ‘Rabbit’ Roto (Erik Stolhanske), Carl Foster (Paul Soter), Rodney Farva (Kevin Heffernan), and their Capt. O’Hagan (Brian Cox) return, joined by Gov. Jessman (Lynda Carter), ex hockey star Guy Le Franc (Rob Lowe), French-Canadian cultural attaché Genevieve Aubois (Emmanuelle Chriqui), and Fred Savage starring as himself. The Godfather II this ain’t. Instead, it predictably suffers from sequel disease: more of the same turned up to 11, but devoid of the surprise of the first film. What follows is a lot of shenanigans between the troopers and their Mountie counterparts, as well as a search to discover the smugglers. Overall, it’s pretty funny, though not quite as funny as the first and certainly not as original. Stay through the credits. The best bit happens at the very end. If you love this sort of thing, go to the late
show high on weed. If you like this sort of thing, try a matinee. Personally, I would have been happy renting this from Redbox in three months. (100 min.) —Glen Starkey
Not to toot my own horn, but I believe I coined the premise of Semi-Pro before this ’70s throwback spoof was made. Kicking around movie ideas with my friends in the early 2000s, I cackled at the image of one delusional idiot starring on an amateur basketball team. I think I picked Jack Black as my actor—but Will Ferrell ain’t too far off! OK, maybe my idea wasn’t that groundbreaking. But it might explain why I enjoy Jackie Moon (Ferrell) and the Flint Tropics so much in Semi-Pro. Set in drugs, sex, and funk-laden 1976, Moon is a flash-inthe-pan pop star riding high after the release of his hit song, “Love Me Sexy.” In a surprise career change, he uses his fortune to buy a semi-pro American Basketball League (ABA) franchise in Flint, Michigan, with dreams of eventual NBA fame. The Tropics are terrible at basketball, and Moon—owner, coach, and player on the team—appears only interested in promoting himself and stroking his ego. True to the real history of the ABA and NBA, the two leagues announce a deal to merge. The last-place Tropics, though, face
PLEASURES dissolution because only the top four teams in the ABA are allowed into the big leagues. Desperate, Moon trades the team washing machine to the Kentucky Colonels for washedup former NBA guard, Ed Monix (Woody Harrelson). Between Monix and the Tropic’s high-flying Clarence “Coffee” Black (Andre Benjamin), the team fires off a winning streak and threatens to finish in fourth place—irking the league’s big-wig administrators who look down on Flint’s dismal economic prospects. Semi-Pro is pure silliness from start to finish, feeding off this ragtag collection of short-shorts -wearing, afro-donning, womanizing, ridiculous characters. But there are true moments of comedy gold if your sense of humor permits: a poker game where tensions run high after Clarence calls someone a “jive turkey”; controversy with the local Catholic priest who referees the games; and just the hilarious game action, like when Clarence flushes down the league’s first alley-oop and nobody knows how to react.

comic book readers. Believe it or not, this is the first time I’m actually taking advantage of this glorious tradition. I’ve been collecting Batman comics since the Clinton administration, but somehow Free Comic Book Day always passed me by. But not this year. I pull into the Captain Nemo/Cheap Thrills lot around 11 a.m. only to find out it’s completely full. I proceed to park in a metered spot down the block and power walk toward the store (I swear I’m not skipping). I’m in a little bit of a hurry since a group of my friends is already in line, hoping I make it before their section gets let in. I get to them only a few moments before we’re allowed to enter. There’s music playing inside, and I automatically recognize the song. I already knew today was going to be fun, but the euphoria I WIDE SELECTION Captain Nemo offers an overwhelming feel from hearing plethora of comics to choose from all year round. Prince’s “Batdance”

Nope, although I’m sure many of us in attendance, myself included, partook in Star Wars Day (May the Fourth Be With You) festivities only hours ago. Since 2002, comic book stores in more than 30 countries have participated in Free Comic Day on the first Saturday of May. I like to think of it as wine tasting, or better yet, free samples at Costco for

at a public gathering is unprecedented. My group quickly separates as the browsing process commences. After choosing three books from the official Free Comic Book Day selection (these comics are created specifically for the event), I pick the first unoccupied box of back issues (oldies) I see and start digging through it for hidden gems. I have three more choices to make (guests are allowed to leave with six total). But who am I kidding? They’re all going to be Batman. That almost comes true as I pick two with youknow-you. But my third pick is unexpectedly a Fantastic Four comic. To be fair though, it wouldn’t have made the cut had it not been
for the Batman “Got Milk?” ad on the back cover. I could care less about Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Human Torch, or the Thing—Christian Bale with a milk mustache is the only reason I’m taking you home. My group reconvenes near the front of Nemo where California-based artist Lance Sawyer is sketching requested characters onto complimentary trading cards. We hop in line and I ponder which comic book hero or villain I want. It’s my turn in no time and I’m suddenly Ralphie from A Christmas Story when he forgets what to ask Santa for (“Football? What’s a football?”). That only lasts a second though, and I walk out of Nemo minutes later with my six comics and a Riddler rendering signed by Sawyer. The last song I hear before we exit the building is U2’s “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” from the Batman Forever soundtrack. I don’t remember what good deeds I could have possible done this week/month/year to deserve this level of good karma.

to tinkering. They had talked at length about the unique terroir of sourdough bread and the applications of a wild fermentation—the process of allowing the local environment to dictate what yeast will thrive. Backyard experiments were executed. Pints were consumed. “I knew how to make clean wine but not dirty cider, and he helped with that,” Mclaughlin said. “I went to a bunch of wine friends and they were all really nervous about what I was doing. Every piece of fruit in the world has wild yeast and bacteria on it, but most winemakers are not excited to mess with that. For some reason, I had this weird desire to do the pluot first.” And so, Mclaughlin did something weird; crushing the whole fruit and pumping the blood-red flesh into opentop fermenters. While most cidermakers would press off the juice immediately,

The result is a bit hazy, a bit unpredictable, yet full of character. Hence the name, “Farmhouse.” “I want it to taste like all those European ciders we have in our icebox here at Cider Bar, sourced from Spain or France, or Great Britain,” Mclaughlin said. “Right away, like everything I do, I had my own idea about how to go about doing that.” Good news for Cider Bar: The Farmouse tasting flights are super popular, although plenty come in for local and worldwide beer, apple cider, and wine FLAVOR continued page 78

Mclaughlin recalled the first days fermenting that first batch of pluot, and the inordinate amount of eye rolls he received from passersby. “No one ever said specifically, ‘No, you can’t do that,’ but that’s the feeling I got,” he said. “Of course, I’m a complete contrarian.” ∆

Plant seeds and watch them grow: Branch Mill Farm in Arroyo Grande was simply a dilapidated tomato farm before herbalist Ruth Madocks and her father, WWII veteran Wally Madocks, put in a load of elbow grease. Now, this plot of land is so much more than a farm, featuring community events, yoga classes, and a community hangout. Now, Angela Schultz and Robert Barnett, recent grads of Cal Poly’s FEED program, plan to revive Branch Mill’s CSA program and sell certified organic produce, herbs, and plants.

H ayley’s P icks Hail the highway queen!
So, you failed to snag those coveted Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest grand tasting tickets before they sold out. Sorry to hear that, friend! Bad things do happen to good people. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t get in on the beer fest spirit. In fact, I highly suggest you head to the laid back, anticipated Firestone Walker beer fest kick-off concert happening Friday, June 1, featuring the outlaw country stylings of Nikki Lane at the Paso Robles Event Center (full disclosure: I am a raging fan of this woman). This one’s for the locals, who’ll be sipping on pours from Russian River Brewing Company (Santa Rosa), Garage Project (New Zealand), Boneyard Brewing (Bend, Oregon), Half Acre (Chicago, Illinois), Highland Park (Los Angeles), Funkwerks (Fort Collins, Colorado), and Firestone Walker, natch. Lane’s dazzling third album, Highway Queen, saw the young Nashville rebel emerge as one of most gifted songwriters in the countryrock field. Hailed by Rolling Stone, NPR, CBS This Morning, and others, Lane is known for her throwback style, catchy songwriting, and powerful stage presence (the highway queen don’t need no king). I repeat: Do not miss her—she is a national treasure—just like craft beer and fancy beard oil. Bay Area openers The Mother Hips are a stalwart of West Coast rock, inviting everyone to loosen up and have a little fun (music starts at 7 p.m.). Of course, food will be available for purchase, and those aforementioned 12-ounce pours will be available for $5 while supplies last, including an exclusive collaboration beer by Funkwerks and Firestone Walker. Consider this the first good concert of the summer season and the first of many, many cold beers. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. For more information and tickets, go to firestonebeer.com. Net proceeds from the Kick-Off Concert will benefit Paso Robles Pioneer Day, a nonprofit dedicated to local historic preservation and community engagement. ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain aspires to be a highway queen.

The right of Board of Supervisors to waive errors applies even if the Contract Documents state that a discrepancy, irregularity, informality or other error makes a bid nonresponsive, so long as the error does not constitute a material error. The successful bidder must be licensed to perform the work in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Accordingly, the successful bidder shall possess a Class A general engineering contractor’s license at the time this contract is awarded. In the alternative, the successful bidder shall possess a specialty contractor’s license that permits the successful bidder to perform with his or her own organization contract work amounting to not less than 30% of the original total contract price and to subcontract the remaining work in accordance with Section 5-1.055, “Subcontracting,” of the Amendments to the Standard Specifications. Failure of the bidder to be properly and adequately licensed shall constitute a failure to execute the contract and shall result in the forfeiture of the bidder’s security. Bidders must satisfy themselves by personal examination of the location of the proposed work and by such other means as they prefer as to the actual conditions and requirements of the work, and shall not at any time after submission of the bid dispute, complain, or assert that there was any misunderstanding in regard to the nature or amount of work to be done.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Send news of your favorite mystery—an enigma that is both maddening and delightful—to freewillastrology.com. ARIES
LIBRA
(March 21-April 19): The Aries poet Anna Kamienska described the process of writing as akin to “the backbreaking work of hacking a footpath, as in a coal mine; in total darkness, beneath the earth.” Whether or not you’re a writer, I’m guessing that your life might have felt like that recently. Your progress has been slow and the mood has been dense and the light has been dim. That’s the tough news. The good news is that I suspect you will soon be blessed with flashes of illumination and a semi-divine intervention or two. After that, your work will proceed with more ease. The mood will be softer and brighter.
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My counsel may seem extreme, but I really think you should avoid mildness and meekness and modesty. For the immediate future, you have a mandate to roar and cavort and exult. It’s your sacred duty to be daring and experimental and exploratory. The cosmos and I want to enjoy the show as you act like you have the right to express your soul’s code with brazen confidence and unabashed freedom. The cosmos and I want to squeal with joy as you reveal raw truths in the most emotionally intelligent ways possible.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do you know what you are worth? Have you compiled a realistic assessment of your talents, powers, and capacities? Not what your friends and enemies think you’re worth, nor the authority figures you deal with, nor the bad listeners who act like they’ve figured out the game of life. When I ask you if you have an objective understanding of your real value, Taurus, I’m not referring to what your illusions or fears or wishes might tell you. I’m talking about an honest, accurate appraisal of the gifts you have to offer the world. If you do indeed possess this insight, hallelujah and congratulations! If you don’t, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to work on getting it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Now is a favorable time to worship at the shrine of your own intuition. It’s a ripe moment to boost your faith in your intuition’s wild and holy powers. To an extraordinary degree, you can harness this alternate mode of intelligence to gather insights that are beyond the power of your rational mind to access by itself. So be bold about calling on your gut wisdom, Gemini. Use it to track down the tricky, elusive truths that have previously been unavailable to you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “A poem is never finished; it is only abandoned,” wrote poet W. H. Auden, paraphrasing poet Paul Valéry. I think the same can be said about many other kinds of work. We may wish we could continue tinkering and refining forever so as to bring a beloved project to a state of absolute perfection. But what’s more likely is that it will always fall at least a bit short of that ideal. It will never be totally polished and complete to our satisfaction. And we’ve got to accept that. I suggest you meditate on these ideas in the coming weeks, Cancerian. Paradoxically, they may help you be content with how you finish up the current phase of your beloved project.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ancient civilizations waged war constantly. From Mesopotamia to China to Africa, groups of people rarely went very long without fighting other groups of people. There was one exception: the Harappan culture that thrived for about 2,000 years in the Indus River Valley, which in the present day stretches through Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Archaeologists have found little evidence of warfare there. Signs of mass destruction and heavy armaments are non-existent. Art from that era and area does not depict military conflict. One conclusion we might be tempted to draw from this data is that human beings are not inherently combative and violent. In any case, I want to use the Harappan civilization’s extended time of peace as a metaphor for your life in the next eight weeks. I believe (and hope!) you’re entering into a phase of very low conflict.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Every human being I’ve ever known, me included, has to wage a continuous struggle between these pairs of opposites: 1. bad habits that waste their vitality and good habits that harness their vitality; 2. demoralizing addictions that keep them enslaved to the past and invigorating addictions that inspire them to create their best possible future. How’s your own struggle going? I suspect you’re in the midst of a turning point. Here’s a tip that could prove useful: Feeding the good habits and invigorating addictions may cause the bad habits and demoralizing addictions to lose some of their power over you.
AQUARIUS
(July 23-Aug. 22): I highly recommend that you spend the next three weeks hanging out on a beach every day, dividing your time between playing games with friends, sipping cool drinks, reading books you’ve always wanted to read, and floating dreamily in warm water. To indulge in this relaxing extravaganza would be in maximum alignment with the current cosmic rhythms. If you can’t manage such a luxurious break from routine, please at least give yourself the gift of some other form of recreation that will renew and refresh you all the way down to the core of your destiny.
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Some books seem like a key to unfamiliar rooms in one’s own castle,” said author Franz Kafka. I suspect this idea will be especially relevant to you in the coming weeks, Aquarius. And more than that: In addition to books, other influences may also serve as keys to unfamiliar rooms in your inner castle. Certain people, for instance, may do and say things that give you access to secrets you’ve been keeping from yourself. A new song or natural wonderland may open doors to understandings that will transform your relationship with yourself. To prep you for these epiphanies, I’ll ask you to imagine having a dream at night in which you’re wandering through a house you know very well. But this time, you discover there’s a whole new wing of the place that you never knew existed.
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Contemporaries of the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras told colorful stories about the man. Some believed he was the son of a god and that one of his thighs was made of gold. When he crossed the Casas River, numerous witnesses testified that the river called out his name and welcomed him. Once a snake bit him, but he suffered no injury, and killed the snake by biting it in return. On another occasion, Pythagoras supposedly coaxed a dangerous bear to stop committing violent acts. These are the kinds of legends I expect you to spread about yourself in the coming days, Virgo. It’s time to boost your reputation to a higher level.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): French novelist Honoré Balzac periodically endured intense outbreaks of creativity. “Sometimes it seems that my brain is on fire,” he testified after a 26-day spell when he never left his writing room. I’m not predicting anything quite as manic as that for you, Scorpio. But I do suspect you will soon be blessed (and maybe a tiny bit cursed) by a prolonged bout of fervent inspiration. To ensure that you make the best use of this challenging gift, get clear about how you want it to work for you. Don’t let it boss you. Be its boss.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Just for now, let’s say it’s fine to fuel yourself with comfort food and sweet diversions. Let’s proceed on the hypothesis that the guardians of your future want you to treat yourself like a beloved animal who needs extra love and attention. So go right ahead and spend a whole day (or two) in bed reading and ruminating and listening to soul-beguiling music. Take a tour through your favorite memories. Move extra slowly. Do whatever makes you feel most stable and secure. Imagine you’re like a battery in the process of getting recharged. ∆
