Cal Poly faces scrutiny over photo of alleged students ridiculing immigrants

A

s Cal Poly hosts its two-day diversity conference, the university is taking heat over a photo in which alleged students appear to be ridiculing undocumented immigrants.

In the photo, which was initially shared to Instagram by “paul.samson22” and captioned “Cowboys vs (Illegal) Aliens,” four people— two women and two men—are wearing red bandannas and flashing gang signs with their hands. One man is wearing a cowboy hat, and the photo’s location is tagged as San Luis Obispo.

Although more than 230 people liked the original photo, several others took to Twitter and Reddit to shame those pictured and Cal Poly itself for what they say is endorsing antiimmigrant and racist sentiments. In response to a number of outraged tweets about the photo, many of which are aimed directly at Cal Poly President Jeff Armstrong himself, one Twitter user noted Cal Poly’s lacking response to another racist incident in which a Cal Poly student wore blackface to a fraternity event in 2018.

“President Armstrong ain’t gonna do shit,” the user wrote. “... He will just send another email out.”

Armstrong did just that at about 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 15, when he sent an email to Cal Poly students, faculty, and staff expressing his disappointment in the photo and those involved.

“We know that this photo has a negative impact on members of our community, particularly members of our undocumented student, faculty, and staff community; their allies; and others who work to promote an environment of inclusion at Cal Poly,” Armstrong wrote in the email. “For those who are hurt by this photo, know that we empathize and we stand with you.”

Matt Lazier, director of media relations, couldn’t confirm whether the individuals pictured in the photo are Cal Poly students, citing the ongoing investigation into the

situation. But “paul.samson22,” the original poster, has information included in his Instagram account bio suggesting his affiliation with Cal Poly—“cal poly slo ’23”—and according to Cal Poly’s student directory, a student named Paul Samson is currently enrolled.

Cal Poly student Danyelle Anderson co-hosted the party with a friend where the photo was taken on Oct. 12. The party, she said, was a joint birthday celebration for the two and was themed cowboys vs. aliens. The yard featured Wild West decorations, like bales of hay and cowboy hats, and the inside was decorated to look like outer space.

Anderson told New Times that the party was intended to be a small gathering between close friends, but some individuals who were unknown to the hosts attended, including those photographed. The hosts didn’t see the photo being taken, do not condone or support the message of the photo, and don’t know any of the people in it, she said.

The hosts didn’t find out about the photo until Oct. 15, and Anderson said when she saw it, she was shaken.

“My friend and I,” she said, “we’re both Mexican, so it was kind of just saddening that we really had no control over the situation.”

The party’s originally innocent theme, she said, was twisted into something immature and discriminatory by these individuals. Still, Anderson said she thinks the situation is being blown up out of proportion.

“Which is understandable,” she said, “because of Cal Poly’s history.”

Cal Poly’s campus erupted in 2018 when a student was photographed in blackface at a fraternity event that year, where others were dressed in stereotypical gangster costumes.

That same year racist flyers were put up all over campus. The school had also faced scrutiny in 2017 over a photo of Alpha Gamma Rho members wearing culturally offensive outfits,

State letter chides SLO County for diminished role of agriculture in groundwater plan

The California State Board of Food and Agriculture called out San Luis Obispo County in a letter expressing concern about irrigated agriculture’s “limited” involvement in crafting groundwater plans over the Paso Robles basin.

The Sept. 30 letter, addressed to 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold, stated that recent state department meetings in SLO drew “robust” feedback from farmers frustrated about how the county has crafted plans to comply with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. According to the letter, signed by board President Don Cameron, the feedback centered on “a concern about the limited outreach and engagement of irrigated agriculture, which has substantial capital investments in the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin and the future business viability of the region.”

“Because the state board has heard from so many people from the agricultural community

and again in 2016 and 2015 when the Cal Poly College Republicans put up free speech walls, on which students wrote Islamaphobic, transphobic, racist, and sexist messages.

In 2013, there was debate over a Halloween party themed “Colonial Bros and Nava-Hos,” where men wore Colonial garb while women wore stereotypical Native American costumes.

in the Paso Roles area, ... we felt it important to reach out to you,” it read.

The letter addressed the main point of conflict in basin planning between county officials and farmers: The county’s emphasis on pumping reductions.

“Relying almost exclusively on groundwater pumping cutbacks is one solution,” the letter read, “and every agriculturalist who has addressed the board acknowledges demand reduction must be a part of the plan, but not the sole option.”

The letter added: “Given the extraordinary agri-culinary tourism industry the county has built, ... we are hopeful that the innovative, progressive farmers and ranchers in your community will have plentiful opportunities to engage in a transparent process develop solutions.”

Supervisor Arnold did not respond to New Times’ request for comment about the letter before press time.

which is writing the basin’s 20-year sustainability plan, holds its next meeting on Oct. 23 at 4 p.m. in Paso Robles City Hall.

The county—represented by Arnold and 1st District Supervisor John Peschong— holds a more than 50 percent voting share on the committee. The Board of Supervisors accomplished that when it denied the Estrella-El Pomar-Creston Water District a seat on the committee in 2018—a move that drew widespread criticism from the ag industry.

Hilary Graves, vice president of the Estrella-El Pomar-Creston Water District, told New Times via email that its board “has definitely had concerns about the lack of outreach to agricultural stakeholders in the Paso Basin throughout the process of drafting the [sustainability plan].”

“Specifically we have been disappointed with the lack of meetings by the county as our [representing agency] to discuss potential solutions, collaborative efforts, and ideal outcomes with us,” Graves wrote. “We are grateful to the [California Department of Food and Agriculture] for acknowledging our concerns and for pointing out that the economic and environmental well-being of our county depends on including agriculture in the process for bringing our basin to sustainability.”

A citizen group’s repeal could come at a cost to Morro Bay residents

Morro Bay pushed through discussions about 17 possible locations before it finally pinned down the South Bay Boulevard and Highway 1 site for its water reclamation facility. But the location is unacceptable to a group of residents who are petitioning the city’s decision to purchase the site of the future facility.

City officials say the petition won’t halt the project, but it could cost residents more money.

Morro Bay Mayor John Headding started the Oct. 8 City Council meeting by addressing the petition and the group behind it, Citizens for Affordable Living.

“I believe their true purpose however is not to stop the annexation, it is a bad-faith, last-ditch effort to stop the project,” Headding said. “This reflects the disturbing trend by Citizens for Affordable Living to delay the project and make it more expensive.”

In August, the City Council adopted an ordinance to annex 27.6 acres of the South Bay Boulevard and Highway 1 site (SLO County-owned property) to the city and zone it as a public facility for construction and operation of the water reclamation facility. Then the city would have complete control of the project site and wouldn’t have to pay taxes to the county.

City Manager Scott Collins told New Times that Morro Bay has been working on moving this project forward since 2003, before his time with the city.

The facility now has approval from the city, county, and California Coastal Commission.

“So basically, this whole thing was wrapped up in a bow,” Collins said.

In September, Citizens for Affordable Living filed a referendum petition against

VIEWER DISCRETION the approved ordinance and handed the city more than 1,100 petition signatures.

In response to the referendum, the city is currently working with the SLO County Office of Elections and Voting to count and validate the signatures. Ten percent of registered voters or 748 valid signatures are needed in order for the city to consider axing its adopted ordinance or putting the repeal on the ballot.

Collins said if the facility site isn’t annexed, the city will still locate and operate the water facility at the approved location, but it will raise the project costs and affect property taxes. The city is currently investigating how much more it would cost.

New Times reached out to Citizens for Affordable Living but did not hear back before press time.

“Some of the concerns they were saying is it’s going to pollute the [Morro Bay National Estuary] and there’s better lower-cost options somewhere else. Some mythological other project, that’s out there that no one’s ever been able to put on paper and show us in the community that actually would be less,” Collins said. “Those were some of the things we’ve heard people were told when they were signing these petitions for referendum.”

Collins acknowledged that the approximately $126 million water facility as well as recent additional water and sewer surcharges ($41 a month per singlefamily household) aren’t cheap.

In an effort to help, the city is one of two agencies in the county offering a utility discount program to qualified residents for a 10 percent reduction in their bill. The program was extended to residents who live in apartments and mobile homes.

The point of the water treatment facility project, he said, has always been to provide clean, safe, and reliable water; it’s what the project will deliver.

“This is a needed project for current and future generations that could supply up to 80 percent of our drinking water needs,” he said.

The project would also provide a buffer against a potential future drought.

Collins said the State Water Project delivers ample water to the city currently, but in a drought situation, that could cease to exist.

Slowing down the project or changing its location could also jeopardize millions of dollars in federal and state funding.

Morro Bay’s current sewage plant doesn’t comply with state requirements, and the Regional Water Quality Control Board mandated the city to construct a new wastewater treatment facility at an inland location by 2023. If the city doesn’t meet that deadline, the agency could fine Morro Bay $50,000 per month.

“Folks, I’m going to tell you that [Citizens for Affordable Living] is not working for you or to make this project more affordable,” Headding said at the City Council meeting.

Lucia Mar employees at risk after data breach

Administrators and tech staff at Lucia Mar Unified School District are cleaning up after confidential employee information was accidentally shared in an email that was sent out to some district staff.

At about 1:43 p.m. on Oct. 9, an email regarding open enrollment insurance— and including a file containing sensitive employee information—was sent to several district email accounts. The accidentally attached file included employee names and Social Security numbers, according to another email sent to district staff about 20 minutes later that informed them of the data breach and further precautions they could take to avoid identity theft.

It still isn’t clear how many employees’ names and Social Security numbers were included in the email, but Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Paul Fawcett said a number of employees could be impacted, and the district is doing everything in its power to remedy the situation.

“Safeguarding employee information is of the highest priority for our district,” Fawcett told New Times.

The district discovered its mistake roughly 15 minutes after the initial message was sent, and Fawcett said tech staff immediately disabled all employee email accounts to prevent further distribution of the information.

The confidential data was then wiped from each account and any Google drives it may have been saved to, and Fawcett said district staff were all notified of the breach.

In an email sent to staff minutes after the breach occurred, employees were advised to delete any related downloaded information from desktops and personal devices and to reach out to tech staff to complete the removal process. Tech staff are still analyzing the district’s electronic systems to ensure a situation like this doesn’t happen again.

Fawcett said the district is also providing impacted employees with credit and fraud monitoring services and information free of charge.

Taqueria Santa Cruz, neighbors at odds over restaurant’s closing time

A conflict between a popular taqueria and neighboring residents escalated to the San Luis Obispo City Council, which will decide on Oct. 22 how late the restaurant can stay open.

Taqueria Santa Cruz, a business at The Mix at Monterey, a development near downtown, wants permission to stay open until 11 p.m. each day. Currently, no restaurant in the complex is open past 9 p.m.

But residents in the five apartment units above the restaurant are opposed to that, saying it’s already caused disruptive nighttime noise that’s resulted in repeated violations of SLO’s noise ordinance.

“For years, this particular restaurant’s exterior activities at late hours have had a severe negative impact on the quality of life and property values of the mixed-used residents,” wrote neighbor Mark Henry in statements to the city. “That must not be allowed to continue.”

In May, Henry filed an appeal of a SLO hearing officer’s decision to allow the restaurant to increase its hours to 10 p.m. At Henry’s appeal hearing, the Planning Commission voted to cut the hours back to 9 p.m., to avoid excessive noise past 10 p.m.

In response, Taqueria Santa Cruz owner Gonzalo Hernandez appealed that decision to the City Council.

Hernandez said capturing nighttime business, which is largely driven by Cal Poly students, is “very important” to the restaurant.

“We lost money to closing early,” he said. “A lot of people need our service late.”

Hernandez said the taqueria used to be open until 11 p.m. But noise issues— including noise from a rooftop exhaust fan—led to at least two citations from the city.

Henry wrote that a 9 p.m. closing time is the only way to ensure legal noise levels beyond 10 p.m. City officials agree, recommending the City Council deny the restaurant’s appeal.

“Noise from restaurant activities does not cease at closing time,” Henry stated.

Templeton amends water regulations to work with Santa Lucia School

Santa Lucia School’s lack of potable water and its failing well prompted Templeton Community Services District (CSD) to revisit its water code and riparian water agreement process in an effort to aid the school.

At an Oct. 15 meeting, the CSD board unanimously passed an amendment to the district’s water code to allow nonprofits and public-serving agencies to get an emergency connection when there is a public health, safety, sanitation, or fire issue.

The amended code will take effect 30 days after adoption.

After that, the new amendment would give Santa Lucia a couple of options.

The school could either connect to the district to provide water for its students or enter into a riparian water agreement, appointing the district as its water purveyor.

At the same meeting, the CSD board

approved the first reading of a water code amendment establishing the rules and procedures governing riparian water agreements. In this ordinance, each parcel receiving riparian water— water from the Salinas River—through the district would be required to have a recorded agreement and a recorded allocation of assigned units approved by the district.

“Both paths are still open for [Santa Lucia]. I have no reason to believe they won’t be able to connect one way or another,” CSD General Manager Jeff Briltz said.

Santa Lucia School is currently researching whether the rights to water on its property have ever been severed by a subdivision or ownership change.

“We just want to verify that they can actually assign the district the riparian agency agreement,” he said.

Once the riparian agreement ordinance is adopted at the next district meeting, Briltz said he anticipates the school coming before the board with its preferred choice of action in November.

Working on a plan Forced from their homes, local organizations band together to provide resources for Grand View tenants

I

ndividuals and families trickle into the community room of Hidden Creek Village apartments on Oct. 9 around 5 p.m.

The Housing Authority San Luis Obispo (HASLO)-owned property in Paso Robles is hosting a meeting that Grand View Apartments tenants’ attorney Stephanie Barclay put together to give her clients resources as they prepare to leave the 55-unit complex in November and December.

Days before the event, Barclay—who’s SLO Legal Assistance Foundation’s legal director—sent a letter to the Paso Robles mayor and City Council on behalf of the Grand View tenants asking the city to help her clients. In a recent ruling on the lawsuit she filed against the apartment complex’s owners on behalf of tenants, a SLO County judge is allowing the owners to evict the tenants and close the building rather than bring the complex into code compliance.

Barclay’s letter requests that the city: require Grand View’s owners to abate the vermin infestation, evaluate eminent domain options, intervene in the lawsuit or file an independent action to ask the court for more time for the tenants, and help tenants find (temporary) housing.

The city hasn’t responded to the letter but is working with Barclay to identify ways it can assist in collecting resources for the tenants.

Tenants walk into booths in Hidden Creek’s community room, where they can gather information from the Legal Assistance Foundation, Paso Robles Unified School District, HASLO, Peoples’ Self-Help Housing, and 5Cities Homeless Coalition. Adults gather around to learn how to get their names on waitlists for future available apartments with affordable housing organizations.

Their children stand quietly by them or gravitate toward a table with a spread of sandwiches and chips.

One man asks another if he’s found a place to live yet. The other replies softly: He hasn’t, but he’s been looking every day.

One tenant, who asked New Times not to use her name, spoke in Spanish, saying that in her entire life, she’s never had to live in conditions like these.

“I’ve never seen so much disorganization from the owners, the manager, and the handyman. Not to mention the mistreatment of the tenants,” she said.

In July, the tenant walked New Times through her Grand View apartment— the cleanest in the whole complex. It’s something she prides herself on. But as much as she tries to keep the apartment spotless, she says she still has a problem with cockroaches, rats, and her bathroom plumbing.

When she tried to leave the complex, she says, the manager told her that she wouldn’t get her security deposit back and she would have to pay extra for repairing the apartment once she vacated.

Like many of her neighbors, she was recently given notice to vacate by

complex of apartments, Oak Park 4, which is currently under construction, might have 11 units available in December. While there is a waitlist December. Does she have a place to go for all of the Oak Park complexes, the yet? She says no. owner of Oak Park 4 might be able to Paso Robles has a vacancy rate of less accommodate the Grand View tenants than 2 percent, so housing options for the temporarily by making them a priority Grand View tenants are slim to none. above others already on the waitlist.

During the meeting, many say their Peoples’ Self-Help CEO John Fowler current options include temporarily staying tells the crowd that he understands the at a hotel, sleeping in homeless shelters in need for housing but wonders if there’s surrounding cities, or potentially moving to anything else they need assistance with another city altogether. for the time being.

hey may look like baby Christmas trees, but those rows of leafy plants in plain view from Los Osos Valley Road near San Luis Obispo have nothing to do with the holidays.

They’re hemp plants, ready to be harvested for research purposes, according to the grower, Natural Healing Center.

“We’re researching different strains and methods of cultivation,” said Nick Andre, chief operating officer at the company best known for its storefront cannabis dispensary in Grover Beach.

“The research institution we’re working with has been doing ag research for decades.”

Since planting this summer, the 37 acres of hemp and accompanying beige fencing have drawn both grumbles and intrigue from drivers on the busy commuter road surrounded by ag land.

Some complain about it as an eyesore.

Others pull over to take selfies with the newly legalized plants. Some county officials and industry members question whether the grows are really for research.

“That’s been used as a loophole,” said Marc Lea, SLO County’s assistant agricultural commissioner.

Growing for ag research used to be only way to legally farm hemp—cannabis’s non-psychoactive sister plant. But that all changed this year with Congress’ 2018 Farm Bill, which took hemp off the Schedule 1 substances list and opened up a commercial hemp market, largely driven by CBD oil demand.

But the hemp trade has faced a shaky regulatory roll-out in many areas of California, including in SLO County, where research partnerships remain one of the only legal ways to grow the crop. In June, about two months into the law change in California, the SLO County Board of Supervisors passed a moratorium on hemp farms in response to complaints from vineyard and wedding venue owners about how hemp’s odors may impact businesses.

“Hemp is a federally approved ag crop, but it has issues,” said George Donati, the vineyard manager at Greengate Ranch & Vineyard in Edna Valley. “It’s all brandnew issues that the county’s learning about and every resident and neighbor is learning about.”

When the Board of Supervisors adopted the hemp moratorium, it stopped the county’s active commercial hemp application process in its tracks. When the dust settled, the policy had allowed 17 growers to stay in business and kicked out nearly twice as many, 33.

“I showed up on the very first day,” said Kyle Peters, who was SLO County’s first hemp applicant and a casualty of the moratorium. “For a brief moment,

OUT IN THE OPEN Natural Healing Center, the Grover Beach cannabis dispensary company, is the group behind the large hemp farms on Los Osos Valley Road. The 37-acre grow is for agricultural research, the company says.

there was a real dream that hey, maybe we can show people how to switch from vineyards into hemp as a way to diversify income. The county put the kibosh on all of that.”

SLO was not the only California county that wanted to sit out the 2019 hemp season. Nearly half of the state’s counties adopted moratoriums this year, wary of a new industry subject to cultural resistance and evolving state regulations.

Kern County took the opposite approach and led the state with 76 hemp site registrations that covered 6,864 acres, according to the Bakersfield Californian.

“From my standpoint, it seems like [SLO County] is trying to stall for time, so the rest of the state industry can take off, and then people ignore SLO and they won’t have to deal with it,” Peters said.

Donati, with Greengate Ranch & Vineyard, said he and the owners at the wedding venue are tired of dealing with the impacts of hemp and cannabis in their neighborhood. Area residents and the county have accused Darren Shetler, a developer and owner of Pepper Tree Ranch next to Greengate, of violating local cannabis ordinances several times over the past two years.

“He hasn’t been able to follow the rules so far. It’s been an issue because of the major odors that come out of the property,” Donati said. “For the event centers in the area, the adjacent agriculture that’s going on, and for the residents, they’re all complaining because of the odor and the allergic reaction from the odor.”

The conflict in Edna Valley hit a boiling point around the same time that SLO County started accepting commercial hemp applications in May. Backlash against hemp in the Edna Valley was a driving force behind the supervisors passing a moratorium, multiple county officials acknowledged.

Shetler told New Times that the alleged

violations on his property stemmed from the relocation of a cannabis farm from another site in the county to his Edna Valley ranch. In 2019, he began farming hemp there in connection with a research group he founded called HempAERO. Research institutions are largely exempt from regulation. At least 10 people or entities have 24 research farms in the county—including Shetler (HempAERO); Helios Dayspring, who owns Natural Healing Center (Imperial Valley Conservation Research Center); and Abel Maldonado, the former California lieutenant governor (UC Davis School of Medicine).

Lea, SLO’s assistant ag commissioner, said unlike the commercial farms, research farms are not required to get tested for THC content—which must measure below 0.3 percent to qualify as hemp. There’s also little that’s required of them to verify the validity of their research.

A new state law, Senate Bill 153, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Oct. 12, adds more meat to the industry’s oversight, Lea said.

“That really tightens things up,” he said.

As SLO County works on a permanent hemp ordinance to replace its moratorium before the next growing season, surviving farms like Natural Healing Center’s on Los Osos Valley Road gear up for harvest. Delayed plantings caused by the unsettled regulatory landscape mean that the mature plants look smaller than usual, like tiny Christmas trees.

“Their field looks about as depressing as mine,” noted Peters, who moved to Oregon to pursue hemp after striking out in California.

Peters predicts it could take a few more years for the new industry to find its legs.

“What this industry is going to be,” he said, “we’re all still figuring out.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Unpacking the past Grizzly cadets learn to work through their prior experiences and look toward a brighter future

to the program. The cadets might not necessarily unpack everything during the six-month program, but it’s important for them to start the healing process and learn healthy coping skills for their life beyond Grizzly.

For this story, the cadets were called out of their classes one by one to speak with New Times, and many were excited to share their thoughts again. For some, their once-lost love of learning is reinvigorated. Others talked about their prospects for finishing up their education and getting out into the workforce.

This round of interviews took place just days after Family Day. It’s an event where the cadets’ families visited their child for the first time since dropping them off.

BY KAREN GARCIA PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM Editor’s note: New Times is following eight Grizzly Youth Academy students through their journey down a new path toward academic and personal success at the military-style school. This is the second installment—split in two parts, with the remaining four cadets this week. The first part of the second installment, “Personal growth,” was published Oct. 10.

Evelyn Frausto

M

usic emanated soft and low from Paul Piette’s desk on Sept. 19. The Grizzly Challenge Charter School principal’s office is large enough to fit his work desk and a table with two chairs—it’s welcoming.

Piette got animated when he talked about what the school can do for every single cadet who walks through its doors.

Based on the number of credits a cadet is missing and what grade they’re in (sophomore, junior, or senior) at the end of the program, some cadets will make up their missing credits and go back to high school, others will earn their high school diploma, some will earn their General Educational Development (GED) certification, and some will need to finish off the remainder of their missing credits at a continuation school.

For Piette, the program is about more than just getting these kids in a classroom and helping them make up for lost time.

“We try to make all of what we do beneficial for them, which includes tailoring curriculum around their social issues but also around what their future issues are,” he said.

In science class, for example, the teacher is focusing on neuroscience, the ongoing findings in the field, and how they relate to addiction. Students might find the information relatable or directly useful, as some were addicted to or used drugs.

Other classes incorporate life skills into the curriculum, such as the career-planning course, which helps students identify what their long-term career goals are and map out a unique plan for them.

“We’re trying to not just increase their academic skills, but we’re also trying to improve their ability

UNDERSTANDING THE PAST Grizzly Challenge Charter School Principal Paul Piette said part of helping the cadets move forward in their lives is working with them to understand and cope with their past.

to participate as citizens and to see themselves as a meaningful participant,” Piette said.

That starts with relationships.

The teachers at the school, he said, are exceptionally skilled and caring individuals who collaborate with the students day in and day out.

“We get a short five months. The teachers, cadres [an officer that trains the rest of the unit], and counselors, all of us, we get to know these kids pretty intimately in just five months. We care deeply about them,” Piette said.

With the tools the school and the program provide, the students learn that their future is their choice.

Each cadet in the Academy has voluntarily chosen to change their life and is taking the steps to do so. Part of that process—making better choices for their future— can be deciding on whether to speak with a counselor for their academic or personal needs. There are about nine counselors and one licensed marriage and family therapist on staff.

These specialists are on campus to help the students along their path to success by working through the trauma or negative circumstances that brought them

When New Times asked 16-year-old Evelyn Frausto how she’s been doing, Frausto replied that she’s very “tenacious.” Frausto proudly stated that it’s a new word that she recently learned in her English class, and she’s been waiting for a good excuse to use it.

She described herself as tenacious because, on top of her schoolwork, Frausto is running for a spot on the student council. She’s also throwing her name in the candidate race for school president or vice president.

In order to be considered, each candidate films his or her speech, and the speech is shown in every classroom.

After watching all of the speeches, candidates go into the classrooms and answer any questions that their peers may have.

“I’m nervous … but also I’m excited,” Frausto said.

“It would be nice to get [the president or vice president position], but if I don’t get it, I wouldn’t mind either.”

In the time since the interview took place, New Times learned that while she was accepted onto the council, Frausto didn’t make the cut for president or vice president.

OVERCOMING ADVERSITY In the first week of the Academy, Evelyn Frausto split open her knee. The injury made her feel left out, but she found support that kept her motivated.

REINVIGORATED Participating in the Grizzly Youth Academy helps create a newfound love for school, as many cadets had a negative attitude toward their respective educational institutions.

12 • New Times • October 17 - October 24, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

Frausto said she’s always been a positive person, but in certain situations, she didn’t react very well. She said she’s learning new coping techniques that have been helping her express herself.

“I used to bite my tongue, but I would always end up saying something where I would get mad and I just would walk out of the situation. Here, you can’t do that,” she said.

She learned to ask her cadre for a second to walk away from the situation, gather herself, possibly shed a tear or two, talk about what is bothering her, and then move on.

Frausto learned these techniques pretty early on as she was constantly frustrated with her injured knee.

When she was first interviewed by New Times, Frausto had split her knee open after falling down during a hike with her platoon.

The injury didn’t break her spirits until she felt that

it was holding her back. When the platoon went on runs or had physical training periods, she wasn’t able to participate with the rest of her peers.

“After a while, it actually was a lot harder for me. I always felt like I was slowing everybody down,” she said.

During her knee checkups, Frausto would confide in the on-site medical specialist that she felt like a burden to the rest of her platoon and wanted to go home.

“She was actually the one that kept me motivated.

She would tell me to stay positive and push through,” Frausto said.

Pushing herself forward has also earned Frausto a “Student of the Month” award for September. With the title, she gets to wear a blue and white striped ribbon on her uniform.

“On Family Day, they actually called out each of our names. That meant a lot to me, I felt really special because my family was there watching,” she said with a smile.

ATTITUDE CHANGE Through Grizzly, Cooper Brown realized that he needed the discipline he’s learned through the program in order to stay focused on his classwork.

Cooper Brown

Cooper Brown, 16, isn’t worried about falling back into his old habits of not caring about school and not having the motivation to do much.

“I’m just more focused on myself and what I need to do.

I used to just focus on hanging out and my friends, but they’re not here. So yeah, I’m more focused on school,” Brown said.

He attributed his past attitude to the various distractions in his life: friends and ample alone time while his parents were at work.

While he’s giving his classes all his attention, he wouldn’t say he enjoys school. He just tolerates it.

“I kind of realized now that I need school. I need to be here, and I need to pay attention in order to get stuff done,” he said.

Brown’s learned pretty quickly that at Grizzly, there isn’t time for procrastination.

The way he sees it, either he gets his act together here or he won’t be successful in life.

“If I’m still failing here, there’s not much I can do out there,” Brown said.

In order to stay on the right track, after Brown completes the Grizzly Youth Academy, he’ll be continuing school at the Academy through independent study.

“My mom wanted me to do it because she wants me to stay in the same environment. That way, I can stay on track and not fall back into my old habits, which I agree with,” he said.

If he went back to Paso Robles High School, Brown said, he feels that he would stay on the right path for a while, but eventually there’s the possibility of him losing sight of his goals.

What’s helped him at Grizzly is the discipline he’s had to learn to plan out his day and follow the program’s routine.

Brown said he personally doesn’t feel like he’s changed; he’s just getting a better understanding of how life works. However, during Family Day, he said, his mom told him that she saw a lot of positive change in him.

Noah Landeros

Eighteen-year-old Noah Landeros said he’s feeling a little stressed out about his future; otherwise, he’s feeling good about his time at Grizzly so far. He feels more secure in this environment than he did when he lived in multiple foster homes over a short period of time.

“I know, even if I do make a mistake, they’re not going to kick me out, so that’s the good part,” Landeros said.

“They really are ultimately going to help me with my life now and after the program.”

He’s currently seeing a school counselor to deal with the trauma of his childhood.

“I talk about my earliest memories all the way to present day. I feel like it’s helping me comprehend it all in a healthy way instead of just shutting it down, like I was doing,” Landeros said.

He and the school are working together to identify whether he has a learning disability. Landeros is currently in the process of getting tested to understand what learning disability he has and figure out a plan so he can have an equal opportunity of learning as well as knowing how to ask for assistance or resources in the future.

With the specific help that he’s getting, Landeros feels that school is a lot easier than it once was. He’s able to finish his classwork, understand the curriculum material, and overall enjoy his classes.

With the tools he now has to succeed, Landeros said he feels confident.

“It’s giving me a subtle, not drastic, but a subtle positivity towards myself,” he said. “Like when I accomplish something, even if it’s small like turning in homework. Well that’s a homework assignment that I wouldn’t have turned in before.”

The newfound outlook on himself has given Landeros the strength to make the choices he deems to be right for his future.

“I have a say in my future, from my college choices to my career,” he said.

It’s a choice that he felt he didn’t have before. Going through the foster system and having to live with abusive family members at a young age didn’t leave him with many options.

Now, he has a choice, and he’s been working with his social worker to figure out a plan for a living situation after Grizzly. Since Landeros is 18, he’s no longer eligible to be taken in by a foster family.

He wants to apply to programs in his area that can help a young adult and former foster recipient get an apartment or live with other former foster young adults in a shared home.

“For now, I don’t have anywhere to go, and I’m really worried, but I can’t really focus on that. I have to focus on my goals instead of my hardships,” Landeros said.

“I’m just trying to focus on that right now.”

His other main focus is his education, because he does want to continue learning at a higher education institution. Landeros said he’s learning a lot about himself and what he’s capable of.

When asked what he believes he’ll take with him when he leaves Grizzly, he paused for a moment before answering confidently that it’s responsibility, the ability to pick his environment, and the courage to stand out.

CREATING OPTIONS Noah Landeros is learning that he has the power to make positive choices that will lead him to a future he has a say in.

NEW EXPERIENCES Ashton Tolliver said being in a supportive environment where adults see potential in him is something he’s not used to but appreciates.

Ashton Tolliver

Seventeen-year-old Ashton Tolliver said when his cadre toward the beginning of the program approached him, something the cadre said stuck with him.

“He told me he was going to push me a little more than everyone else because he sees a lot in me. That really made me want to go into this program with all I have. It gave me a lot of confidence,” Tolliver said.

Having someone see potential in him is something Tolliver has never experienced before.

“It’s weird, you know. I’ve never had someone tell me that before. Honestly, it’s always been me against everything else,” he said.

Through the Academy, Tolliver said he’s realized it’s about personal growth, but it’s also about being a team player and caring for his peers. It’s that sense of teamwork and adult support that’s new for him, but he’s welcoming it.

At the end of the day, he sees everything he does as part of his platoon motivating each other forward.

That positive reinforcement has given him more confidence to talk to others and even given him the courage to share his thoughts in the classroom.

“It used to be that I’d just go in the classroom and stay in my corner, just do my own thing,” he said.

He reminded New Times that at the first interview, he mentioned he was very introverted and didn’t really like mingling with a lot of his peers. With a smile, Tolliver said it’s easier to talk to his peers and interact with them.

Grizzly has shown Tolliver what he’s capable of and how he’s changed—all positive. But he has had some emotional setbacks.

During Family Day, he said he received a lot of negative news about his family back home. His oldest brother is on the verge of homelessness, and his biological mother’s husband was diagnosed with cancer. The news was tough and a lot to take in on a day that was meant to be cheerful, but he said he didn’t want to focus too much on that. Tolliver was happy to see his sister and her youngest child, the only family that came to visit.

As for his biological mother, Tolliver said he’s still working on being open to continuing to repair their relationship. He reminded New Times he’d previously said he’s trying to let go of his grudges.

Tolliver’s school plans have changed slightly. He won’t be able to make up all of his credits and earn his diploma from Grizzly like he planned.

He’ll have to attend a continuation school, but he’ll only need to take two classes, so he feels upbeat that he won’t be there for too long.

His post-Grizzly plans were to work at Costco and with a cousin in construction. Tolliver’s view on higher education has taken a positive turn, and he’s working with school staff to learn more about applying to and attending college.

Tolliver is hoping to go to college to study architecture, construction engineering, or possibly construction management. There is still a lot for him to consider when it comes to narrowing down his area of study, but he’s just happy he has options. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@ newtimesslo.com.

Connecting on campus

I

t’s right at noon when the bell rings and San Luis Obispo High School’s campus suddenly comes alive. Students flood out from classrooms, funnel through hallways, and empty out into a grassy courtyard, where music and the meaty smell of burgers on a grill mingle in the air.

Some kids dart to the parking lot— they’ll be taking their lunch breaks anywhere but here—but those sticking around seem happy to gather with friends and sprawl out on the lawn. Some get to work unfolding packed lunches, others have cafeteria food, and a lucky few—this month’s chosen ones—are forming a line behind the grill, paper plates and coupons proving their Student of the Month status in hand.

It’s Sept. 27 and time for this year’s first Student of the Month Barbecue, an event hosted by the Associated Student Body (ASB) during lunch once a month to celebrate kids who warrant celebrating.

The barbecue is just one of many lunchtime activities ASB provides, all of which are part of a mission to create a culture of inclusivity and fun on campus during lunch, according to ASB Director Jim Johnson.

“We can’t help it if you have calc homework,” Johnson says, keeping a watchful eye on the grill and ASB students who’ve taken over the cooking for him, “but we can have fun during breaks and lunch.”

SLO High has an open campus lunch policy, meaning sophomores, juniors, and seniors can leave the premises for about a half hour each day to get food. That’s fine, Johnson says, but faculty don’t want kids to want to leave.

“We want kids connecting with something,” he says.

The Student of the Month Barbecue is fun, Johnson says, because it allows for positive reinforcement. Teachers each get two coupons a month, which can be awarded to any student for pretty much anything, from good behavior in class to doing a kind deed. Kids who receive coupons can then redeem them for free food at the barbecue.

But ASB hosts other lunchtime events, too. Sometimes they sell food or set up games—giant ring toss is a crowd favorite—or put on intramural games.

Dodgeball season just ended, Johnson says, and that’s popular among both teachers and students, who Johnson says seem to really like to hit each other with balls.

Some students and faculty even participate in open mic lunches, Johnson says. Performers sing songs, play music, read poetry—whatever they want.

“It’s a great way to highlight our artists,” he says, “and entertain kids.”

ASB is helping to create a positive and supportive culture at lunch for all types of students, according to SLO High Principal Leslie O’Connor, who said he

ASB Director Johnson is back in the thick of his current position as grill master, one of his many jobs here at SLO High. He throws some pink patties on the grill and is suddenly engulfed by billowing smoke. He wipes his forehead with a towel hanging around his shoulders and asks students in line whether they want cheese on their burgers. His line of view isn’t exactly clear—his eyes are covered by smoke-fogged SCHOOL BARBECUE SLO High School Associated glasses—so he points at each Student Body members throw patties on a grill at the school’s student with his spatula and first Student of the Month Barbecue of the year on Sept. 27. awaits a response.

Kids laugh as they shout wants campus to be a place where kids out their orders. It’s San Luis Obispo’s feel welcomed and safe. But there’s an first overcast day in months, but it feels ulterior motive, too.

SLO High is about 60 percent of the way sunny here at SLO High. through construction funded by Measure D, a bond passed by voters in 2014. Soon the school will have a full cafeteria and food court, which will be able to hold and feed every student enrolled at the school.

When that’s officially possible, O’Connor said administrators hope to end open campus lunches.

That won’t be for another three years or so, O’Connor said, but if staying on campus is already fun, the transition to closed campus lunches won’t be as difficult for students.

At this Student of the Month Barbecue, the school’s tactics seem to be working.

Commentary

BY J.R. KILLIGREW

Who we are Monterey Bay Community Power empowers communities through choice and savings

A

s Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP) humbly begins to become the primary electric-generation service provider in the cities of San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay in January 2020, we are excited to continue the dialogue around local issues affecting the communities we currently serve along with those we will be serving in the near future.

More importantly, it is our responsibility to address inaccurate information about MBCP such as was shared in the recent opinion piece, “The real existential threat”

by Mr. Al Fonzi (Oct. 10).

Currently, 11 jurisdictions across San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties elected to pass resolutions and ordinances to request membership in MBCP this year, and we are moving forward to approve their membership and start service in early 2021.

The remaining jurisdictions that elected not to act in San Luis Obispo County at this time are Atascadero and the county of San Luis Obispo.

Regarding the “accountant-prepared” report that the county commissioned, it is worth noting that its contents were deemed unsatisfactory by most supervisors, hence the call for yet another feasibility study. The formation of any community choice energy agency—of which there are 19 successfully operating in California—is always prefaced by exhaustive investigation and feasibility studies, and MBCP is no exception. If the county wishes to pursue another

HODIN

study, we respect its decision. We do also acknowledge the frustrations of some constituents who will now have to wait until early 2022 at best to receive the benefits that MBCP is delivering to more than 96 percent of electricity customers in its current service area.

Mr. Fonzi references, “financial obligations incurred” by members of MBCP. All financial liabilities associated with MBCP are the sole responsibility of MBCP, a joint powers authority and public agency that operates entirely separate from the individual cities or counties it serves. Other than a $5,000 to $7,500 administrative fee to cover costs associated with updating all of the legal documents required by the state of California and the California Public Utilities Commission, there is no cost to join MBCP. The only possible financial liability that could arise would be when and if a city or county chose to remove itself from MBCP. And that cost would simply be paying MBCP back for its share of electricity that MBCP procured on its behalf, if and only if MBCP had to sell that electricity at a loss. In such a case, MBCP would be seeking the difference in cost from original purchase price to final selling price, nothing more. To date, no current city or county participating in MBCP has expressed any interest in removing itself. To the contrary, member agencies are applauding MBCP for making good

on its promise to deliver significant economic and environmental benefit to the communities it serves.

On the subject of a city or county wishing to leave MBCP, yes it would require MBCP board approval, but neither of MBCP’s two governing boards is interested in forcing a city or county to stay on if they have fiscal, environmental, or even philosophical reasons why they would choose not to participate any longer. MBCP has and always will be an example of shared values and collaboration. And to be perfectly clear, if one city or county ever left MBCP, it would not place any added financial liability on the remaining cities.

Like many contentious topics, this is not simply a two-sided issue, so there are more than “two categories of holdouts.”

We would respectfully like to identify a third, and that is a category made up of opinions that are based on assumptions and inaccurate information. We welcome any opportunity to be a balanced reference for those seeking accurate information.

The most glaring piece of inaccurate information is Fonzi’s claim about “more expensive alternative energy.” The fact that carbon-free and renewable energy sources such as hydroelectric, wind, and solar are now available for less than the cost of electricity generated from fossil fuels is one of the primary reasons why MBCP is able to provide electricity at a cost savings when compared with the regional investor-owned utility.

MBCP charges less than PG&E does for electric generation—period. For customers who feel they may be paying more, there are two likely scenarios. The first and most common is the perception that the new page on customers’ PG&E bill, which outlines MBCP electric generation charges, is a new charge. The

reality is, PG&E has always charged its customers for electric generation, but this cost was rolled into a bundled services charge that includes transmission and delivery charges, as well as electric generation charges.

Now that MBCP oversees where and how electricity is generated for its customers, the electric generation charge has been broken out from the bundled services charge. While MBCP agrees this can be confusing at first glance, we are committed to helping people understand this small change on their bills, and we encourage all businesses and residents to share this important detail with their neighbors.

The other instance that may give the perception of higher costs is the unfortunate incidence of higher natural gas prices, which may induce a level of sticker shock when customers view their total amount due.

Natural gas prices have risen drastically over the past 12 months, especially in the winter months. In 2019, MBCP will deliver a cost savings in the form of a 5 percent rebate on MBCP electric generation charges, equivalent to approximately a 3 percent savings over PG&E. Indeed, MBCP does not generate its own electricity, it procures electricity on the wholesale market just as every utility does on some level. With the goal of developing new renewable resources at competitive pricing, MBCP is under contract with generation facilities— creating opportunities for jobs, energy resiliency and efficiency, and additional cost savings to be passed on to customers.

MBCP offers significant economic and environmental benefits. We consider this value proposition a win-win because while there is still much debate about how important climate change is and what its COMMENTARY continued page 16

Opinion COMMENTARY from page 15

true cause and effects are, everyone seems to agree that economic benefits are a good thing.

By the end of 2019, MBCP will have delivered $17 million in combined cost savings to its current customers and will have made more than $8 million available to the communities it serves through local energy programs.

MBCP estimates saving its customer base close to $20 million in 2020 and specifically, $1.6 million for customers in San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay. MBCP is the result of thoughtful conversation about creating choice and opportunity around electricity service.

Let us remember that before MBCP existed, businesses and residents in our service area did not have a choice when it came to electricity provider, now they do. We respect all customers’ decisions, whatever they may be, but we have a duty to ensure that each customer has accurate information and full understanding of who MBCP is, how community choice energy (CCE) works, and what it means for them.

The fact that this dialogue is happening is a win. Before CCEs, folks just took electric service for granted. Today, CCEs have become a topic of discourse that will empower people to have a voice at the table, especially since MBCP is a public agency. ∆ J.R.

Wow. Another group of NIMBYs

“In need of change” by the SLO Cannabis Watch Group (Oct. 10) actually seems like it was written by people from the winery business. Or as I like to call them “cork-sniffing whiners.”

Or, maybe, they like to indulge in a glass of wine or five at the end of the day, while others like to indulge in cannabis.

It’s not much different. Maybe, we should start going after wineries that are too close to schools and homes. There are so many of them. The elementary school that my kids went to sits right next door to a large grape “grow,” and they aren’t table grapes. One of the reasons we don’t have enough housing in SLO County is because of all of the wineries. It takes acreage. And tractors, and water, and farm laborers who are underpaid.

Hell, you can even drive around and

sample wines, then drive, sample more wines, drive again, sample more, drive again, and so on. And yes, near schools.

How safe is that? So stop with the NIMBY crap telling us why we should regulate cannabis, when we all know it’s about money, not safety.

If Napa has the perfect system in place, move there.

So much to ‘balance’

I just wanted to write a quick note congratulating you on having created such a balanced and robust editorial staff and policy. I have a modest proposal for you.

Since you are so courageously giving space to a desperately needed voice addressing the climate hysteria, perhaps you should consider real representation for the other obvious hoaxes put upon the public by the scientific community. Please find someone to represent the moon landing hoax, the delusion that the Earth is round, and of course the evils of vaccination. These represent an obvious hole in your current editorial offerings. Oh ... could you also work to provide some more representation for the obviously underrepresented, marginalized, oppressed, and disadvantaged demographic of old white men? Thank you for your consideration.

No solutions in sight

existential threat,” Oct. 10)? It’s as if he’s torn a page out of the Old Testament. According to Mr. Fonzi, everything is gloom, doom, and an eventual apocalyptic nightmare.

Unfortunately, anyone who offers alternatives to Mr. Fonzi’s dark view, like community choice energy programs, are demonized. Mr. Fonzi is a master critic and is quick to find fault with solutions proposed by others. But where are his solutions? On this, he remains puzzlingly silent. To continue to do nothing—code for business as usual—seems ridiculous when business as usual created the mess in the first place.

Criticism of someone’s solution obligates the critic to propose an alternative. On that point Mr. Fonzi seems to draw a blank.

The smell of hogs in the morning

The SLO Cannabis Watch Group equates the smell of cannabis with a pig farm (“In need of change,” Oct. 10). Admittedly, cannabis can be a bit “skunky,” but to my nose, it is a much more pleasant odor than that produced by a bunch of hogs. I also wonder if hemp, grown for the fibers of the trunk and stem and not the psychoactive flowers, might be less smelly.

Change for who?

Hey SLO Cannabis Watch Group, what are you watching? The majority of your peers voted for legalization while you are still holding onto your parents’ “reefer madness” phobia (“In need of change,” Oct. 10). Legalization is the change you refuse to accept, as you deny others a chance for a viable, legal business.

Publicly berating, practically slandering, and downright bullying a public official to do your bidding or else.

Bravo! Everyone should just bow down to you, huh? No thanks. This ain’t Napa!

This county has the opportunity to have the best of both worlds—a wine and cannabis getaway location—if the county uses common sense and doesn’t kowtow to a few well-funded Chicken Littles.

Constellation Brands owns how many vineyards around here? They buy how many grapes from local vintners? They own how much canopy growth?

Are ya’ll vintners on the SLO Cannabis Watch Group going to stop doing business with Constellation? I bet your sorry asses that Constellation will rip out vineyards and grow weed! They can afford the fees and permits.

People who have grown up here did not want vineyards everywhere, sucking up all the water. Now, you all have your vineyards and paid-off officials—except for one, I guess. And now you blame us for your misuse of water? You won’t let family farms use water to irrigate their crops because they aren’t growing grapes.

And how about this scenario: If I’m offended by the smell of lilies, jasmine, and—God forbid—roses! Ya’ll going to want to put a moratorium on every flower that smells?

We are a multi-pronged ag community.

Not just a big vineyard. You like Napa?

Move to Napa. This is SLO! Not a onetrick pony.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY ANDREW CHRISTIE

Still no choice P

op quiz: Would these things be good or bad for San Luis Obispo County?

• A program that helps a local college partner with Tesla to couple solar power with battery storage.

• A program offering deep discounts for electric vehicles, with the largest rebates going to low-income households and free smart-charging units.

• A transition to a 100 percent electric bus fleet.

• Converting a contaminated industrial site to a beneficial use as a clean power generator by installing 10 megawatts of solar panels, creating local jobs.

• $14 million in savings for residents.

These are things that Marin and Sonoma counties and the city of Lancaster have been able to do for their residents because they each belong to a community choice energy (CCE) program, freeing them from the monopoly of electric utilities and giving them local control of their energy sources in a competitive clean energy market.

As of Jan. 1, 2020, these will also be the kinds of things that the cities of San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay will be able to do, because they, too, have signed up for a CCE program. Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, and Paso Robles—a little slower off the mark—will be able to participate in such programs beginning the following year.

with that completed study before Sept. 30, 2020, the deadline for the next available window for local governments to begin the process of joining MBCP. During the public comment period, Rita Casaverde had some words for the board: “It’s unacceptable for you guys to say that you didn’t have enough time for a more thorough report. We’ve been hearing about this report since May. May, June, July, August, September … and you didn’t have enough time to do a full report on this? That’s unacceptable.

That’s called incompetence in the private sector.”

In other words, the board majority that has long-denied the benefits of CCE to the residents of SLO County—benefits that will now be enjoyed by the rest of the Central Coast—has done it again.

To be fair, instead of voting to continue inching forward, they could have voted to just stop walking, set up a lounge chair, and watch the world go by. In January 2018, this board majority voted to drop out of an exploration of a CCE program with Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, despite the peer-review of that feasibility study which found that a SLO County CCE program would be feasible and sustainable.

So this is progress. On Oct. 1, the decision to move ahead with another study of the Monterey Bay program was approved on a 4-1 vote.

So sorry, Nipomo, Avila Beach, Los Osos, Cayucos, Cambria, Santa Margarita, Templeton, and San Miguel: What you get is a legacy of foot dragging, blown deadlines, disinformation, and proud antigovernment ideology from three county supervisors.

SLO County is not part of that picture, with no clear indication of when it will be.

So sorry, Nipomo, Avila Beach, Los Osos, Cayucos, Cambria, Santa Margarita, Templeton, and San Miguel: What you get is a legacy of foot dragging, blown deadlines, disinformation, and proud anti-government ideology from three county supervisors. (You also won’t get a 5 percent reduction on your electric bill. But your neighbors will.)

Maybe it’ll happen in 2022. Maybe not.

At the Oct. 1 SLO County Board of Supervisors meeting, CCE—California’s pathway for the transition from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy– managed to dodge a bullet. With overwhelming support in the room, an eloquent defense by Supervisors Bruce Gibson and Adam Hill, and despite a slapdash negative feasibility study (rightly characterized by Supervisor Gibson as “appallingly inadequate”), CCE lived to fight another day. The board, noting that the consultant’s report had to be rushed to meet the Oct. 1 hearing date, belatedly voted to direct staff to draft a request for proposals for the creation of a real feasibility study, communicate with Monterey Bay Community Power on its regional CCE program, and come back to the board

Supervisor Debbie Arnold voted no, literally because she preferred the set-upa-lounge-chair-and-watch-the-world-go-by option: Do nothing at all for the next year or so, then mosey on back to the issue; see how things are going elsewhere, and maybe start thinking about what the county wants to do.

As the last bastion of resistance to community choice in California, SLO County and the individual critics who have popped up lately in our local media—all making an argument that could be summed up as, “Be afraid!”— can be seen as proxies at the tail end of a war waged by the private utilities, who spent millions of dollars on a years-long barrage of toxic legislation and ballot resolutions designed to keep CCE forever in the realm of the theoretical.

There are still snipers in the hills, and in Sacramento and at the Public Utilities Commission, but the war is over.

Communities and a clean energy future won.

SLO County’s governing body, embarrassingly, still doesn’t get it. But, with help, someday they might. ∆ Andrew Christie is director of the Santa Lucia chapter of the Sierra Club. Send comments through the editor at clanham@ newtimesslo.com.

The Shredder

How the NIMBYs stole cannabis

M

ove over green meanie Mr. Grinch, there’s a new NIMBY bully in town. And whoever it is, they’re coming for you, 1st District Supervisor John Peschong.

No, it’s not the same boring old farts saying, “Read my lips: No new houses.”

It’s not even the cantankerous curmudgeons shouting, “We won’t stand for mental health services in our neighborhoods!”

Or the boujee bad apples decrying, “There’s no space for homeless help on my block!”

This new breed of negative Nelly is brought to you by Proposition 64, and although the old NIMBYs put faces to their rallying cries, these anti-cannabis bulldogs are hiding behind a title they can stay behind: SLO Cannabis Watch Group.

They fancy themselves the stalwart protectors of “SLO County neighborhoods” against cannabis cultivation that is apparently as smelly as a pig farm.

Oh, so cannabis smells like actual human shit? God, I had no idea. How can people put that in their bodies?

Also, just so you know, SLO Cannabis Watch “concerns localization not legalization.” Cue eye roll! That’s the freakin’ definition of NIMBY! But, it’s pretty clear that’s a BS statement.

The pot-watchers don’t like the little Christmas tree looking plants, don’t want the plants anywhere near them, and don’t

think the county should have passed an ordinance allowing their cultivation. But, you know, they’re totally fine with it being grown elsewhere.

Are you ready for a math problem? According to this watch group’s wacky little website, a single cannabis plant yields 1,000 joints. If you have 141 “cultivation permits”—FYI, those are not permits, those are just registrations, which give people the ability to apply for a permit—and each property grows cannabis on 1.5 acres, the county gets to smoke 740 million joints each year!

Bravo brave souls. Who thought that one up? Inquiring minds want to know.

Way to keep us up to date on a statistic that isn’t really relevant to the discussion at all. Joints are so 40 years ago. It’s all about cartridges and vape pens now.

You’re showing your age.

Battling against the many ills of the hard-fought San Luis Obispo County Cannabis Ordinance must be tough!

And the 141 cannabis cultivation registrations this county handed out like candy a grandma forced a grandkid to share with their frenemies?

“SLO County bowed to the industrial cannabis lobby,” the website states.

Umm. Remember how unhappy marijuana growers were after the ordinance was finally voted on? And, there’s also the fact that a majority of

those registration holders still have a long way to go to get their hands on an actual permit. Well, never mind that, there are more important things to attend to, like the biased media that the pot industry has in its pocket. What a bunch of liberal stoners!

Amirite?

“There is a significant pro-pot industry bias in many of our local media outlets, too. It is wholly irresponsible that the cannabis influencers have not been called out on such serious matters,” the NIMBYs state loud and proud. And the only one willing to do anything about it is them!

Gosh. So brave.

I feel like they’re talking about me! Or us, over here at New Times. It seems like every time the word cannabis was on a SLO County Board of Supervisors agenda, someone brought up the pot ads in the back of our paper. Gosh. So proud.

Finally. I get blamed for something!

Yay! Now Peschong can’t take all of the credit for flushing this county’s rural neighborhoods down the skunky toilet in the name of a very public process that created the already restrictive ordinance this NIMBY group is complaining about, private property rights, and a vote that legalized recreational cannabis! As if.

Politicians and those silly little laws they have to abide by. Amirite?

Meanwhile, the guys and gals over at Pot Watch 2019 are so pissed at Peschong, they’ve basically told him to get with their side of the program or else! Like or

else he’s gone! Gosh. Really? Has anyone actually filed to run against him in 2020?

So far I can’t see anyone.

Who is the Anti-Cannabis Cabal going to find to run against him? Ian McPhee?

You know him! He’s the dude who owns McPhee’s Grill in Templeton and went on a crusade against the 3-acre grow and greenhouse approved on a 77-acre parcel along York Mountain Road.

“When I say no grow, I mean no grow,” he told the county Board of Supervisors at a hearing in March. Ooh. It’s like, “Read my lips: No new cannabis grows!”

Or, the vineyard owner who’s championing the legal system by filing lawsuits willy nilly against approved cannabis farms! Stephanie Shakofsky filed a lawsuit against that York Mountain project and one north of Paso Robles— which I don’t really understand. Can you live in two totally separate places?

OK, Shakofsky only filed two, but still, there haven’t been many cannabis operations actually approved to get up and running yet! Only about a quarter have gone through the planning process, and then they still have to deal with all the appeals and lawsuits filed by nosey cannabis watchers from across the county! Gosh. ∆ Shredder is a badass boujee Grinch, so back off NIMBYs. Send ideas and comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Strictly Starkey

BY GLEN STARKEY

Alter ego Granger Smith goes full redneck

P

erformers with alter egos aren’t new. Think Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana, or David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust, or Nicki Minaj and Harajuku Barbie. Well, for the uninitiated, meet Granger Smith and his alter ego Earl Dibbles Jr., who’ll play the Fremont Theater this Saturday, Oct. 19 (doors at 8 p.m.; all ages; $30.83 at Boo Boo’s or fremontslo.com).

Smith is normally a well-mannered Texan, father of three, and online and touring sensation with a massive fan base called the “Yee Yee Nation,” built through his relentless touring schedule and social media following of 7 million fans. His first No. 1 hit on the country charts was “Backroad Song,” which he followed with the No. 5 hit, “If The Boot Fits.”

Smith told countrycountdownusa.com, “Earl started as a promotional tool,” and that he and his brother were trying to make a viral YouTube video. Smith put on some overalls, boots, trucker cap, and fake tattoos. There was “literally no thought to any of this,” he said, “besides I’ll ad lib a day in the life of this country boy. So I started at the beginning: ‘I wake up, put a good dip in, crack a cold one, get dressed, start the day.’”

The YouTube video was a hit!

“Then I thought Earl needs a song. So I wrote a song called ‘The Country Boy Song,’ that was his day put to music. That song we released as a music video, went twice as viral. At that point, I thought Earl needs to be part of the show. We have not looked back since that day.”

Think of it as a twofer! A fine Texas troubadour and his backwoods cousin!

Also at Fremont, rapper Blueface, next Thursday, Oct. 24, has sold out, but he’s added another date on Wednesday, Oct. 23 (doors at 8 p.m.; all ages; $40 at Boo Boo’s and eventbrite.com). Coyotes and Flash Gotti will open the show.

Americana magic

Fans of turned-on-its-head bluegrass, folk, and country music will want to get themselves to the Painted Sky Concert Series this Friday, Oct. 18, for an amazing double-bill featuring the Cache Valley Drifters and Crary, Evans, and Barnick (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $25 at Boo Boo’s, Ball & Skein, or by calling (805) 927-8330).

DAKOTA CROSSING LIVE AT THE SIREN Modern

TWO IN ONE Country star Granger Smith and his more redneck alter ego Earl Dibbles Jr. play the Fremont Theater on Oct. 19.

The evening starts with Crary, Evans, and Barnick in an intimate acoustic concert of new songs and old stories. Dan Crary, 79, is an amazing flat-picker and bluegrass musician.

He’s also a retired speech communications professor from Cal State Fullerton who knows a thing or two about the art of being a raconteur. They put on quite a show.

If you haven’t heard of the Cache Valley Drifters, welcome to California for the first time! They started back in 1972—a bunch of hippy kids who liked picking and grinning and unleashing bluegrass instrumentation on songs by the likes of Paul Simon, Etta James, and Cream! They were folk icon Kate Wolf’s backing band, and though they had a few different members over the years, their current lineup—Bill Griffin (mandolin, guitar), Wally Barnick (electric bass, and yes, he’s doing double duty in both bands), and Mike Mullins (guitar and mandolin)—has been playing together for decades.

The trio also weaves amazing harmonies. Prepare to pick your jaw up off the floor.

‘Exceptional, exclusive, exquisite’

Studios on the Park presents ‘landmark’ exhibition featuring the masters and greats of California Impressionism

F

orty contemporary painters.

Forty master paintings inspired by them. These 80 works are free to the public for viewing at Studios on the Park until Nov. 17. The exhibition— California Impressionists: The Masters & The Greats They Inspire—is described as a landmark in the Paso Robles gallery’s 10-year history.

“It is the most exceptional, exclusive, and exquisite exhibition we have ever had,” Janet Wallace, president of the Studios on the Park board of directors, told New Times during the exhibit’s opening night on Oct. 3.

Before enjoying an evening of wine, light eats, and art appreciation, the gallery opening began with a primer on what distinguishes California Impressionism from other art movements. Studios brought in Jean Stern, the senior curator of California Impressionism at UC Irvine, to give a lecture— which was equally humorous and educational—on the particularities of impressionistic art that comes out of the Golden State. “[Stern] actually coined the term, ‘California Impressionism,’ which means we are truly in the presence of the expert on California Impressionism,” Wallace said in her opening remarks. Among the audience members were many of the contemporary painters featured in the exhibit.

Stern first explained that one cannot understand California Impressionism without first knowing the importance of en plein air painting. Simply translated, the French phrase means “outdoors.” Why use the French version?

“Because everything sounds better in French!” Stern said, to the audience’s amusement.

Rather than painting in a traditional studio, a group of “absolutely dedicated outdoor painters” in France decided to ditch the suffocating setting and look at their inspiration direct from the source, Stern explained.

That group, formed in the 1860s, included the now revered Claude Monet. Though initially perceived

as laughable and childlike by the fine art community, impressionism quickly became the most popular art movement in France. The rugged coastlines of California were the next destination for this bright painting style that focuses on contrast and light.

One of the first and most famous California Impressionists, Stern said, was Granville Redmond (1871-1935). One of his masterpieces, Resounding Surf, is on display in the exhibition at Studios on the Park.

“You are very fortunate here to have access to the collection of the older works. Some of those should be in museums,” Stern told New Times of pieces like Redmond’s.

“Especially since it’s a private collection, you normally have to be invited to dinner to see the paintings. I urge people to not only see the old paintings, but to see what the living artists did that was inspired by those paintings.”

One of those living artists who Stern praised is Lori Putnam.

Based in Tennessee, Putnam had flown in that morning to be among her peers for the exhibition opening night. Her painting, Harmony Headlands, was inspired

by Edgar Payne’s Dana Point.

While Putnam’s work was painted en plein air just north of San Luis Obispo and Payne’s was inspired by the Orange County spot, the remarkable similarity of the scenes depicted in each work is a testament to why California Impressionism is so distinct. The coastline, the foliage, and the golden mountains all signify the same state, whether it’s here in SLO County or down in Southern California.

Putnam emphasized the importance of spontaneity in her painting process.

“Generally I am drawn to the light, in particular for this piece because of the pattern of the light and of the waves and of the rocks,” she said of her large, elegantly framed Harmony Headlands landscape.

“But when I’m going out en plein air, I don’t go out looking for that,” she continued. “If I went out and said, ‘I’m going to go find a pattern of waves today,’ I would never find them. It grabs me and then I just

Scot Levitt, vice president and director of fine arts at Bonhams—one of the oldest fine-art auction houses—will give a lecture titled Collecting California on Oct. 24 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the gallery. The event will be an “intimate talk about this landmark exhibition,” in which Levitt will share “the history and strategies of collecting California paintings,” according to Studios.

Other upcoming exhibitrelated events include Art After Dark Paso on Nov. 2 from 6 to 9 p.m. For more information, visit studiosonthepark.org.

have to stop, no matter what it is, and paint it.”

In addition to the 80-piece exhibition, Studios on the Park is hosting a couple of associated events to provide viewers context and background on California Impressionism. One speaker event features fine-art auctioneer Scot Levitt, the vice president and director of fine arts at Bonhams, one of the world’s oldest and largest auction houses of fine art and antiques.

For Levitt, art education is essential to not only appreciating an art gallery or museum, but of

artistic financial success.

“The market for these paintings has grown over the years, but it doesn’t happen magically,” Levitt told New Times. “From Vincent van Gogh all the way down, it’s all about how many shows, how many exhibitions, how many reviews, how many writers can write about these [paintings] to get that many more people to know about them. ... For me, education is key.” ∆ Arts Writer Malea Martin is marveling at the masters. Send arts story tips to mmartin@ newtimesslo.com.

Power of the pod Local conspiracy theory podcast Wait, Whaaat? finds local and global popularity

T

he moment that co-workers Elaine Chaney and Paula McCambridge met at their local nonprofit job, they had instant comedic chemistry.

“We were always bantering, going back and forth,” McCambridge told New Times.

“Elaine and I had started carpooling together because she’s in Los Osos and I’m in Morro Bay. Elaine literally walked up to me one day and said, ‘Do you want to do a podcast together?’ And I was like, ‘Yep!’” Chaney, who has a background in freelance humor writing as well as occasional stand-up comedy performing, had long pondered starting a podcast but didn’t feel inclined to do it solo.

When she met McCambridge, who has a background in journalism, their shared sense of humor hit it off.

“It was like this improv mentality,” McCambridge said. “One of us would say something, and then all of a sudden we were riffing for five minutes.”

The weekly podcast, called Wait, Whaaat?, follows a similar format to popular world-touring podcasts like My Favorite Murder and And That’s Why We Drink. For every episode, McCambridge and Chaney each choose a paranormal-

related “news” story prior to the podcast.

They keep their stories a secret from one another until the mic starts recording, and then take turns reading their respective UFO or ghost sighting of the week, cracking each other up in the process.

“I have always loved the paranormal since I was little—UFOs, all that good stuff,” Chaney said of her inspiration for the podcast.

Though the pair has been podcasting for less than a year, they already have a loyal following. Every week, listeners from all over—including locally—tune in to hear new episodes, which are released on Fridays. Since McCambridge and Chaney started in January, they have not missed one week.

“If we’re going to be out of town, we’ll schedule another day,” McCambridge said. “There was one week where we had to schedule a different day to record, and then we had some audio problems, so Elaine did this impromptu ‘best of’ episode, which is hilarious because we were maybe six episodes in.”

“Six in, and we had a ‘best of’ episode!”

Chaney jokingly echoed.

Airing weekly on Fridays, “Wait, Whaaat?” can be accessed through most podcast streaming platforms. For more information, visit waitwhaaatpodcast.com.

“It was kind of crazy after just that many,” McCambridge agreed with a laugh, “but what I loved about it was that we were like, ‘OK, we screwed it up this week, but we are still going to have something. We are not just going to leave it hanging.’”

McCambridge and Chaney’s commitment to the craft has paid off.

They’ve gained fans throughout the U.S. and even a consistent listener from Berlin, Germany.

“She even showed us her Monster,” Chaney said of their German listener— the popular energy drink has become something of a symbol for Wait, Whaaat? fans, as Chaney and McCambridge each drink one before almost every episode.

“They’re not sponsoring us yet, but they better,” McCambridge laughed.

The duo says they’ve been continually impressed by how accessible web-based endeavors like podcasting are for both the user and the creator.

“The thing about a podcast is people have access from absolutely anywhere,” McCambridge said. “It’s so bizarre, and it’s so awesome.”

“Before, if you wanted a radio show, I mean, good luck,” Chaney added. “You had to book studio time, and who’s going to air you if you’re unknown? But now you can just be interested in, like, Jem and the Holograms, and have a podcast and everything.”

“This is our radio show, completely uncensored,” McCambridge said. “It’s whatever we want to say.”

Wait, Whaaat? streams via Anchor.fm, a free service that allows users to record and disseminate their own podcasts. The app also finds sponsors for podcasters based on the number of listens that they average.

“What’s always the dream? It’s to make money doing something that you love,” Chaney said. “This is all of those things.”

Though they’re only 10 months into the journey, the podcasting pair is always looking to take the show further.

“We are not treating this like a hobby,” Chaney said. “We want to take this to the next level.”

Following the lead of other popular podcasters, McCambridge and Chaney decided to try something new: a live show. Held on Sept. 27 at the Morro Bay State Park Campground, the event was originally planned to be at a local residence, but it garnered so much interest that it had to be moved to the larger space. McCambridge and Chaney covered alleged alien abductions and the origins of The Exorcist for their 39th episode, and they were met by an audience of roaring laughter for 46 minutes straight.

“It’s just all these little moments,” Chaney said of the first live show.

“Knowing that our show is making people laugh, that’s really the thing.” ∆ Arts Writer Malea Martin is listening to Wait, Whaaat?’s latest show. Send arts story tips to mmartin@newtimesslo.com.

make a really fantastic movie or TV show about technology going too far? Maybe something about someone becoming grossly dependent on some kind of artificial intelligence software, or that artificial software becoming too close to human, or, I don’t know, maybe something about the weird fake lives we display on social media and the detrimental impacts that can have on our mental health.

OH WAIT. We already have a million really great shows and movies to watch revolving around those very relevant themes, all the way from Blade Runner (1982) to Black Mirror (2011-present).

So why anyone would choose to make Jexi—which is essentially Her (2013) mixed with a little Ingrid Goes West (2017) and a dash of I, Robot (2004), but without any of the good jokes and poignancy—is a total mystery to me.

In this epic example of complete mediocrity, a white guy named Phil (Adam Devine) is sad, lonely, and leading a monotonous and unfulfilling life. I know—it’s difficult to imagine any movie starting in such a unique way. What is somewhat unusual about Phil, although it’s becoming less unusual every day, is his overt dependence on his phone and all it has to offer: GPS, banking information, social media, movie streaming, and, mainly, ultimate distraction from reality.

He’s always looking down at his phone, he’s always home alone, and he’s never making real human connections or having real experiences.

Then something miraculous happens.

Phil bumps into a super hot chick (way too hot for him, of course) named Cate (Alexandra Shipp), and breaks his phone.

He gets a new one that’s installed with a rogue artificial intelligence software named Jexi (Rose Byrne), who has a wild and almost human personality all her own.

Through an intense and often questionable tough-love approach, Jexi helps Phil make real life friends, score

dates with Cate, and secure his dream job, but all goes south when Jexi becomes infatuated with Phil and becomes determined to keep him all to herself.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a movie that evokes so little emotion. Watching it was like watching nothing. It wasn’t really funny. It wasn’t really cute. The phone itself put on a better performance than any of the actors, and it definitely didn’t inspire me to put down my phone and “start living,” or whatever.

The best outcome the creators of Jexi can hope for is that it’s left unwatched by the masses and never remembered, which should be easy, since it was utterly forgettable. (84 min.)

Like a mirror on contemporary society, Joker reflects our problems back to us—the widening gap between the haves and have-nots, paternalistic politician“saviors” who believe they know best for the “misguided” underclass, and the dismantling of the social safety net by a government that abandons its marginalized. It’s a dark and depressing film, and it reminds me of the old saying, “Society gets the criminal it deserves.”

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Bay, Downtown Centre, Fair Oaks, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Rupert Gold’s (True Story) developing résumé includes a lot of directing films and television series based on true events and people. In the biopic Judy, he’s at it again, directing Renée Zellweger as America’s sweetheart and tragic figure, Judy Garland.

The film takes a look at Frances Ethel Gumm’s—aka Judy Garland’s—last months of her life, while showing glimpses of her past encounters with Louis B. Mayer on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) studio sets as a young actress. These flashbacks are sparse, and I would have loved to see more of the moments that led to her demise via insomnia and drug and alcohol abuse.

When the audience first steps into Garland’s life, there’s no indication that she’s in trouble. Her head is held high, her presence is commanding, and she’s dressed to impress in a colorful pantsuit.

She’s in the company of her two youngest children, Lorna (Bella Ramsey) and Joey (Lewin Lloyd), who at this time have become part of her stage act of singing and dancing. As they’re getting called to the stage, Garland is given an envelope with a couple hundred dollars and an apology that it might not be what she’s used to receiving. No matter darling, the show must go on.

After the performance, she and her sleepy children get in a taxi to their hotel only to learn that there’s an issue with her bank accounts; the room was released.

With nowhere to go, Garland and the

children head over to her ex-husband Sidney Luft’s (Rufus Sewell) home so the children have a place to sleep.

It’s the beginning of the end for Garland who becomes homeless, practically penniless, and basically blacklisted from performing in Los Angeles for being unreliable. She wants to make enough to give her children a stable home, so Garland decides to leave for London to perform at the Talk of the Town, a cabaret-restaurant, and really the only place that wants to pay for her voice.

The film centers on these last few weeks of loneliness and the angst she feels about potentially losing her talent.

Her talent is her voice, and she remembers it’s the only thing that made her relevant in the industry—that is, according to Louis B. Mayer.

Zellweger did a fine job portraying Garland’s fragility, movements on stage, and frantic yet elegant mannerisms. She also belted out all of Garland’s greatest hits throughout the film beautifully, but hers lacked the fantasy that Garland’s voice possessed.

Judy shows the usual highs and lows of a powerful entertainer broken down by a system dominated by men who controlled women. Like most biopics that don’t have the rights to the entirety of a person’s life, I feel there was a lot missing from this story. I wanted to know more about how Frances became Judy, what her life was like before becoming an actress, and what she struggled with to ultimately die at age 47 from an accidental overdose. The cause of her death is not mentioned at the end of the film. (118 min.)

to reporting the truth.

It is evident that Engel spent an immense amount of time getting to know who Ivins was and what compelled the columnist to point out the deficiencies in Texas politicians. In an interview with NPR, Engel said she was told to work on a documentary about Ivins—an individual she’d never heard of. She quickly discovered Ivins’ life and history was archived at the University of Texas and she needed to share her findings.

Born Mary Tyler Ivins to a prominent rightwing oil and gas executive, Ivins was the complete opposite of what her father wanted her to be. She called it her “teenage rebellion that lasted 35 years.”

Ivins attended Smith College but instead of going the conventional female route of becoming a nurse, a wife, or a typist—this is the mid ’60s, after all—she decided to become a journalist. She wasn’t a small woman. Ivins was tall, big boned, and carried herself as such, but she was more than her frame. She wasn’t afraid to command attention to an event or a person with her writing. Being a liberal in Texas, she almost had to have bite to her work in order to be taken seriously.

Her résumé was extensive—from being the first female police reporter at the Minneapolis Tribune to her short stint at The New York Times.

Through interviews, her friends and colleagues said Ivins was hired because of her writing style, but the Times wanted to change her voice to match theirs. Her time at the prestigious publication didn’t last long, but that didn’t stop Ivins. Her career soared when she was hired to co-edit Austin’s Texas Observer.

She had a knack for calling out the faults in Texas politicians with her pen, drinking enough beer to hang with the boys, and believing in democracy.

Ivins wrote political columns, authored books, and gave talks until the end of her battle with cancer in 2007—she was 62.

This documentary doesn’t have a political stance, agenda, or message. It’s just a true fantasize about night after sleepless night?

Whatever your worst is, I guarantee it’s not half as shockingly cruel and unusual as the story of revenge that plays out in Oldboy.

In this South Korean action-thriller, known originally as Oldeuboi, director and co-writer Chan-wook Park (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, The Handmaiden) shows us just how disturbing and somehow still unsatisfactory getting payback can be.

The plot hinges on the beaten path of Daesu Oh (Min-sik Choi), a typical businessman who is suddenly abducted on the night of his daughter’s fourth birthday. Dae-su is taken to a strange, illicit prison, where his cell is reminiscent of a windowless hotel room.

He’s left with nothing more than a bed, a bathroom, and a TV, and that’s where he stays for 15 years, all the while unsure of who has imprisoned him and why.

Television is Dae-su’s only source of entertainment and connection to the outside world throughout his kidnapping, and on the news one day he sees that his wife was murdered, his daughter is missing, and he’s the suspected killer. Eventually he begins to dig his way out through the wall of his room, but just before he breaks through to the outdoors, he’s hypnotized by a mysterious woman and then wakes up on a rooftop dressed in a suit.

It’s 2003, the first time he’s seen sunlight since 1988, but Dae-su wastes little time.

Instantly, he’s on a fervid hunt for his captor,

Ivins actually puts it very well when she describes her outlook on journalism—there’s no such thing as objectivity.

“How you see the world depends on where you stand and who you are, there’s nothing any of us can do about that. So my solution has been to let my readers know where I stand, and they can take that with a grain of salt or a pound of salt, depending on their preferences,” she said in the film.

I will say your political views might have you snorting with laughter or huffing with distaste at Ivins’ statements. Either way, Engel did an amazing job at showing us Ivins’ professional life and impact on political coverage. It left me

But it soon becomes apparent that Daesu’s captor, a man named Woo-jin Lee, is several steps ahead, and is somehow always watching. Dae-su’s only consolation is Mi-do, a young sushi chef he quickly falls in love with who helps him search for his daughter and fight his tormentor.

It’s impossible to really write about this movie without giving away all the big twists and turns and shockers, but I will say that Mi-do—though sweet, helpful, and loving—is not what she seems. And although Dae-su is seeking a little quid pro quo for the murder of his wife, the loss of his daughter, and his 15-year imprisonment, it’s really his captor, Woo-jin, who is seeking revenge, and he gets it not through gory torture, but through mental and emotional anguish. Years of imprisonment turns out to be the least of Dae-su’s worries.

Taking the plunge A family bachelorette weekend has us making many leaps of faith with Margarita Adventures

I

TWICE THE FUN My daughters rode two of Margarita Adventures’ six zip lines together. Though initially disappointed to not weigh enough to fly solo on all the lines, my oldest daughter later enthusiastically said it was better because duos zip faster.

’m grasping for the perfect metaphor, but the only words rushing through my brain are, “Uh-oh, uh-oh, are we supposed to be going this fast?”

My daughter and I are coming in for a landing, and I’m convinced we’re going to get hurt. The guides had said we’d zip along with extra speed because we’re riding tandem, but this feels too fast!

“Legs up! Legs up!” I yell.

We tuck our legs as best we can.

Thunk! Our apparatus hits the brakes at the landing site, and the ground comes up below us. Before I know it, we’ve slowed enough that I can put my feet down and step forward with our momentum till I’m standing.

My daughter woo-hoos, and I’m laughing uncontrollably.

As the guide removes our zip-line equipment from the cable, we turn and watch Holly, my sister-in-law, slide in for her landing on the parallel line across from us. She’d started at the same time as me and my daughter, but sure enough, we went way faster.

48 • New Times • October 17 - October 24, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

My other daughter and Summer, my future sister-in-law, are waiting at the top of the landing area, and we share more wows and woo-hoos as we walk to the second line.

We did it—the five of us jumped off a platform and flew 2,800 feet across an oak-studded valley. This bachelorette party is off to an incredible start.

No metaphors for Summer’s pending nuptials come to mind yet, but maybe the 300-foot suspension bridge will elicit some poetic exclamations. Once safely on the other side, we agree that walking across those narrow, wobbly planks was scarier than the zip line itself. That’s a good thing—we’ve got five more lines, so it’s too late to be scared now.

After the bridge, we take a short hike up to the second launch site, which affords another breathtaking view of the Margarita Ranch property on this sunny late-September day.

I watch the guide attach both my daughters to the line—they don’t protest riding tandem; I think they’re

excited for a fast trip. They jump together, and I’ve still got no similes, only joy and adrenaline.

By now I’ve repented of my snobbish skepticism of this “biggest thrill in wine country.” Having lived here more than two decades, I’m more of an off-the-beaten-path chill seeker, not so much a thrill seeker.

This bachelorette adventure has shown me the light, and I am not looking back.

Seriously. It’s hard to look back when zooming forward faster than I’ve ever gone without being inside a large vehicle.

The rest of the five zip lines are equally exciting. As I approach my final landing—I’ve learned by now that coming in hot is the best way—I realize the five of us ladies have been living the metaphor. If Summer can step into the unknown and soar across the expanse, getting married will be a breeze. ∆ Associate Editor Andrea Rooks is ready for another adventure.

Father Bread One of the men behind the California Homemade Food Act brings organic French breads to the Central Coast at Pagnol Bakery

S

ome have called him a renegade.

Others might call him a rebel with a worthy cause. But after a long coffee talk with Mark Stambler as the sun came up at his bakery in the Baywood-Los Osos community, this peaceful man with a desire to keep the world fed would best be described as “Father Bread.”

Stambler is the man largely responsible for helping create the California Homemade Food Act, AB 1616, which established a new category of food enterprise called a “cottage food operation.”

He remembers the exact moment he learned of this monumental feat—he was leading a bread workshop in his home kitchen.

“All of a sudden, there was a huge boom,” he said. Thinking the world was ending, the whole class ran outside in their aprons. “We look up and there’s this 747 flying at treetop level over our house with a space shuttle on it,” Stambler said.

The shuttle was being brought to Los Angeles at the very moment Stambler received a call from Sacramento. Gov. Jerry Brown had just signed the law Stambler designed to support home bakers.

In 2013, he became the first person in Los Angeles County (and probably all of California) to be legally allowed to sell goods from his home kitchen, opening the door for thousands of people to start their own home-based food businesses. For every setback he faced—including being busted by the LA County Health Department for selling bread to his neighbors—he had just as many triumphs.

CHATTING WITH FATHER BREAD Master Baker Mark Stambler deserves the nickname “Father Bread.” He was largely responsible for the law that allows home bakers to make a living from their goods, which makes this man a baking legend.

Bread to live for

Pagnol at Third Street Bakery sells rustic, Europeanstyle bread, plus pastries, cookies, and tarts. The bakery is located at 1229 3rd St., Los Osos, and is open Fridays from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturdays to Mondays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesdays from 7 a.m. to noon, and is closed Wednesdays and Thursdays. For more info, visit stamblersbread.com.

Thanks to Stambler’s passion for baking, Pagnol at Third Street Bakery is the only place around where you can find loaves of classic, European-style breads, pastries, cookies, tarts, chocolate and almond croissants, crostini, and dog treats baked with the freshest, high-quality local ingredients: distilled water; sea salt; organic, house-milled grain flour; and wild yeast, which is left for 36 hours to develop.

Stambler mills all his whole-grain flour right before he bakes with it, which he says is the best way to retain the flavor.

He and his bakers employ traditional French method (travail sur trois levains) to make the breads, doing most of the work by hand. And Stambler—whose accolades include being one of Dessert Professional magazine’s Ten Best Bread Bakers in the U.S.—swears his bread doesn’t cause problems with gluten-free dieters.

Pagnol Bakery occupies the tiny bottom level of a charming blue cottage, with a patio and café tables out front and upstairs living. Customers who arrive early enough may see Stambler’s main baker, Marcus Marren, whipping up that beautiful, unmistakable fresh bread, which he’ll have been doing since 4 a.m.

On this the cool morning, just as Marren finished the last loaves of Sonora white wheat bread (the oldest variety grown in California) and turned the wooden sign to “open,” three customers followed the swirling scent into Pagnol for their daily bread.

I nibbled on a delicious apricot Meyerlemon brioche, and marveled at the comfortable and homey bakery. I was told not to leave the premises before trying the new chocolate croissant, made with organic whole grains and organic butter— which was worth the wait. It was to live and die for.

Stambler told me he bought the place in 2016 from his dear bakery friend’s wife after his friend passed away. Pagnol is named after the renowned French writer Marcel Pagnol, noted for his romantic depiction of Provençal life.

The baker bounces back and forth from Pagnol to his permanent home in LA County. He and his wife, Suzette, raised their son, Henry, in LA, where Suzette worked for the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena. Stambler worked as a consultant for nonprofits.

50 • New Times • October 17 - October 24, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

DAILY BREAD All the bread at Pagnol’s is made from fresh, homemade yeast, meaning all come from a sourdough starter. Owner/baker Mark Stambler has been working on these rustic-style recipes for decades, and he uses organic grain and flour, wild yeast, and a long fermentation process.

FIRST CUSTOMERS Just as the sun rises above the cypress trees in the Baywood Park neighborhood of Los Osos, two early birds walk into Pagnol to the welcoming scent of Marcus Marren’s fresh-baked bread.

He comes to the Central Coast on weekends to bake for Pagnol. For the bakery’s regular hours, Stambler has a handful of employees, including head baker Marren and baker John East.

Stambler’s love for baking rose early on from necessity. His mother was not keen on being a short-order cook when Stambler announced at the age of 16 that he wanted to be a vegetarian.

“She said, ‘Fine, you can eat side dishes, but I’m not cookin’ for ya,’” Stambler said.

“I quickly realized if I wanted to eat a decent diet as a vegetarian I better learn how to cook.”

Back in the ’70s, there weren’t many vegetarian cookbooks in circulation, but he found Vegetarian Epicure, which had an entire section on bread making. He got the hang of it pretty quickly and soon enjoyed experimenting with recipes.

Stambler eventually created a community of bread bakers in LA County, which held classes and built ovens, and he went on to build a successful home-baking business as well.

Before long, the Los Angeles Times ran a full article on Stambler’s breads, which put the home baker on the radar.

SINCE 4 A.M. Baker Marcus Marren, who has been working with Mark Stambler since their days in Los Angeles, starts baking breads, pastries, cookies, cinnamon rolls, and tarts while the rest of the Central Coast is still snoozing.

In 2011, it was against the law to bake and sell out of your home, so Stambler got busted by the LA County Health Department for selling his homemade bread. The Health Department shut down his sales in every store he sold to, and officials showed up at his house at 7 a.m. to “make sure no bread baking was taking place on the premises.”

Bummed but not broken, Stambler made friends with Director of Environmental Health Angelo Bellomo, the Sustainable Economies Law Center, and Assemblyman Mike Gatto to write and pass the California Homemade Food Act, which is now California’s cottage food law.

As a result, Stambler could bake his bread in his home kitchen in the county of Los Angeles under a Health Department permit. In fact, he and Bellomo designed the permit protocol based on Stambler’s home setup.

D INE ’N’ DISH Urban Remedy raw cacao mousse

I once went into a health food store looking for a paleo treat. To be more specific, I was needing chocolate pudding like I’d been held up in Guantanamo Bay. “There are no paleo treats,” the owner said to me, and gently led me toward a $23 jar of honey. I like honey by spoonfuls, but can it mimic the deep, rich characteristics of chocolate? Ha! And no. It was months later when I came across Urban Remedy raw cacao mousse. The package says it better than I can: “Luscious raw cacao mousse with hints of vanilla, date, and Himalyan pink salt.” It’s organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan, and dairy-free, and I’m saying this with a straight face: It tastes as good as chocolate mousse made with heavy whipping cream. Upon my second tasting of this fine product, (made by an acupuncturist and herbalist who concocted all kinds of plant-based, organic meals, juices, and snacks to heal her patients) I decided to bring it to the movies with me. In my purse. With a plastic spoon. It was the opening night of Joker, and even though I was headed for Rambo: Last Blood (payback for my husband seeing Downton Abbey with me), the movie man checked my bag to make sure I wouldn’t copy the Joker—that’s never happened to me before. I don’t like getting in trouble so I declared, “I have mousse and Pellegrino in my bag!” Guess he’d seen worse, so he let me go. Thank goodness I avoided Guantanamo Bay. I found my 4.1 ounce container of chocolate mousse at Whole Foods in SLO for $5.50. Learn more about Urban Remedy at urbanremedy.com. ∆ Flavor writer Beth Giuffre is definitely not joking about this very serious chocolate dessert.

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): “We can’t change anything until we get some fresh ideas, until we begin to see things differently,” wrote Aries psychologist James Hillman. I agree. And that’s very good news for you Aries people. In my view, you are more attracted to and excited by fresh ideas than any other sign of the zodiac. That’s why you have the potential to become master initiators of transformation. One of my favorite types of plot twists in your life story occurs when you seek out fresh ideas and initiate transformations not only in your own behalf, but also for those you care about. I bet the coming weeks will bring at least one of those plot twists.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In ancient holy texts from India, soma was said to be a drink that enhanced awareness and alertness.

According to modern scholars, it may have been a blend of poppy, ephedra, and cannabis. In Norse mythology, the beverage called the Mead of Suttungr conferred poetic inspiration and the ability to solve any riddle. One of its ingredients was honey. In Slavic folklore, raskovnik is an herb with the magic power to unlock what’s locked and uncover hidden treasures. It’s not a four-leaf clover, but resembles it. I invite you Libras to fantasize about using these three marvels. To do so will potentize your imagination, thereby boosting the cosmic forces that will be working in your favor to enhance your awareness, confer inspiration, solve riddles, unlock what’s locked, and find hidden treasures.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Metaphorically speaking, Taurus, you are now crossing a bridge. Behind you is the intriguing past; in front of you, the even more intriguing future. You can still decide to return to where you came from. Or else you could pick up your pace and race ahead at twice the speed.

You might even make the choice to linger on the bridge for a while; to survey the vast vistas that are visible and contemplate more leisurely the transition you’re making. Only you know what’s best for you, of course. But if you asked me, I’d be in favor of lingering on the bridge for a while.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): As I write this, I’m sitting in a café near two women at another table. One sports a gold cashmere headscarf and pentagram necklace. The other wears a dark blue pantsuit and a silver broach that’s the glyph for Gemini the Twins. HeadScarf shuffles a deck of Tarot cards and asks PantSuit what she’d like to find out during the divination she is about to receive. “I would very much like you to tell me what I really really want,” PantSuit says with a chuckle.

“I’m sure that once I find out that big secret, I’ll be able to accomplish wonders.” I hope the rest of you Geminis will be on a similar mission in the coming weeks. Do whatever it takes to get very clear about what you want most.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ancient Greek philosopher Socrates was meandering through an Athenian marketplace, gazing at the appealing and expensive items for sale. “How many things there are in this world that I do not want,” he exclaimed with satisfaction. I recommend you cultivate that liberated attitude.

Now is a perfect time to celebrate the fact that there are countless treasures and pleasures you don’t need in order to be charmed and cheerful about your life. For extra credit, add this nuance from Henry David Thoreau: People are rich in proportion to the number of things they can afford to let alone.

(July 23-Aug. 22): I invite you to try this exercise. Imagine that one springtime you grow a garden filled with flowers that rabbits like to nibble: petunias, marigolds, gazanias, and pansies. This is a place whose only purpose is to give gifts to a wild, sweet part of nature. It’s blithely impractical. You do it for your own senseless, secret joy. It appeals to the dreamy lover of life in you. Got all that, Leo? Now, in accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you actually try to fulfill a fantasy comparable to that one in the coming weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My Virgo friend Lola got a text-message from her Scorpio buddy Tanya. “Why don’t you come over and chill with me and my demons? It’ll be entertaining, I promise! My inner jerks are howlingly funny tonight.” Here’s what Lola texted back: “Thanks but no thanks, sweetie. I’ve been making big breakthroughs with my own demons— giving them the attention they crave without caving in to their outrageous demands—and for now I need to work on stabilizing our new relationship. I can’t risk bringing extra demons into the mix.” I suspect this is an accurate description of what could be happening for you, Virgo.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Inventor Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was a visionary genius in numerous fields, including architecture, design, engineering, and futurism. In the course of earning 40 honorary doctorates, he traveled widely. It was his custom to wear three watches, each set to a different time: one to the zone where he currently was, another to where he had recently departed, and a third to where he would journey next. “I know that I am not a category,” he wrote. “I am not a thing—a noun. I seem to be a verb.”

I recommend his approach to you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Be a verb! Allow your identity to be fluid, your plans adjustable, your ideas subject to constant revision.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Art is good for my soul precisely because it reminds me that we have souls in the first place,” said actress Tilda Swinton. How about you, Sagittarius? What reminds you that you have a soul in the first place? Beloved animals? Favorite music? A stroll amidst natural wonders?

Unpredictable, fascinating sexual experiences? The vivid and mysterious dreams you have at night? Whatever stimuli bring you into visceral communion with your soul, I urge you to seek them out in abundance. It’s Soul-Cherishing and SoulEnhancing Time for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to arrange a series of high-level meetings between your body, mind, and soul. You might even consider staging an extravagant conference-like festival and festival-like conference. The astrological omens suggest that your body, mind, and soul are now primed to reveal choice secrets and tips to each other. They are all more willing and eager than usual to come up with productive new synergies that will enable each to function with more panache and effectiveness.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I believe in inhabiting contradictions,” writes Aquarian author and activist Angela Davis. “I believe in making contradictions productive, not in having to choose one side or the other side. As opposed to choosing either or choosing both.”

I think Davis’s approach will work well for you in the coming weeks. It’s not just that the contradictions will be tolerable; they will be downright fertile, generous, and beneficent. So welcome them; honor them; allow them to bless you with their tricky opportunities and unexpected solutions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean pianist Frédéric Chopin (1801– 1849) was a poetic genius whose music was full of sweetness and grace. “Without equal in his generation,” said more than one critic. Today, more than 170 years after his death, his work remains popular. Recently an Italian sound designer named Remo de Vico created an original new Chopin piece that featured all 21 of the master’s piano nocturnes being played simultaneously.

As you might imagine, it’s a gorgeous mess, too crammed with notes to truly be enjoyable, but interesting nevertheless.

I’ll counsel you to avoid a similar fate in the coming weeks, Pisces. It’s fine to be extravagant and expansive and multifaceted; just don’t overdo it. ∆
