SLOCOG accepts staff recommendation to close El Campo intersection

T

he San Luis Obispo Council of Governments approved its staff’s recommendation to close the four intersections between Traffic Way and Los Berros Road along Highway 101 at an April 3 meeting.

The intersections include El Campo Road, a private unnamed road, Tower Grove Drive, and Hemi Road.

The board approved the recommendation and a traffic assessment—part of the board’s $30,000 two-step assessment process that analyzed the impacts of restricting left turns on that stretch of Highway 101—with an amendment to focus on the closures’ impacts to Arroyo Grande.

Jimmy Paulding, board member and Arroyo Grande City Council member, moved to approve the recommendation but amended it to include the study, design, and implementation of a solution for anticipated illegal U-turns at the northbound Traffic Way off-ramp. He also added an amendment stating that SLOCOG and SLO County would commit to regional cooperation with the city of Arroyo Grande to ensure that impacts from this project are mitigated and funded through state and regional funding.

According to a letter from the city, Arroyo Grande has several projects currently under construction in that general vicinity. It stated that the city and its police department aren’t convinced that the assessment’s recommendation of signage detouring people to the southbound ramp on Grand Avenue will be sufficient to deter people from making illegal U-turns.

Stephen Hanamaikai, a SLOCOG transportation planner, said the next step is for Caltrans to draft its plans on how and when the four intersections will be closed.

meeting, wearing black shirts with a photo of Jordan Grant and the text “We stand with Jordan” on the front. A driver in the process of making an unsafe left turn at the El Campo intersection fatally injured Jordan last October.

His parents, James and Becky Grant, have been working to close the intersection ever since, pressuring the county to discuss longterm solutions such as an overpass for that stretch of the highway.

James told New Times that he and Becky were thrilled and relieved that SLOCOG made the decision to support the closure of the intersections.

“I was pleased with what the council did, ELIMINATING DANGER In memory of their son, James and Becky and they got this done Grant speak at the SLOCOG meeting on April 3, continuing their push for closure of the intersection where their son was fatally injured. in less than six months after Jordan was killed, short- and long-term solutions have been resolved. so they acted with “The community has come together and urgency.

SLO picks its three cannabis stores

San Luis Obispo County’s central hub will soon have three cannabis stores to visit.

On March 28, SLO city announced the recipients of its three coveted cannabis dispensary permits: Megan’s Organic Market, Natural Healing Center, and Elemental Wellness.

The choices came out of a two-month review of nine applications, where a panel of city officials from different departments, as well as a consultant, evaluated the shops on a “meritbased” scoring system.

Megan’s Organic Market, a former delivery service with a CBD store open in Morro Bay, and Natural Healing Center, a dispensary brand with a shop open in Grover Beach, both received the top scores at 136 points. Elemental Wellness scored next best at 121.6 points.

The point system included the categories of “community benefit, experience, equity and labor, messaging, medical retail commitment, property control, and financial investment”— with an emphasis on local business experience and hiring.

Megan’s storefront will open at 280 Higuera

St.; Natural Healing Center will be located at 2640 Broad St. (the current location of Mission Thrift); and Elemental Wellness is still identifying a site.

Two other applicants received cannabis permits from the city: Coastal Delivery SLO, for delivery services; and Element 7 SLO, for a micro-business (manufacturing, processing, distribution, and delivery).

The five operating permits that were issued on March 28 are contingent on the applicants passing background checks.

Six hopeful businesses did not receive permits from SLO as part of its first round of accepting applications, which was from Jan. 7 to 29.

of cannabis allegedly sourced from a massive illegal grow in Los Alamos.

As they executed a search warrant at the South San Luis Obispo County shop, Santa Barbara County law enforcement also seized cannabis from a Los Alamos grow, where hundreds of thousands of plants were purportedly being illegally grown and processed for sale, according to sheriff’s officials.

The raids were part of a monthlong, ongoing investigation by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office’s Cannabis Compliance Team into the Los Alamos operation, which the agency called the largest that it had ever investigated.

“This case involves the issue of fraudulent licensing and the black-market diversion of cannabis,” Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Spokesperson Kelly Hoover said over email. “Our investigation from Los Alamos led us to the dispensary to search for evidence and documentation.”

The Sheriff’s Office declined to release many details about the case, including who owns the Los Alamos grow, where exactly it’s located, and what its connections are to 805 Beach Breaks, which was the first brick-and-mortar shop to receive a permit in SLO County.

Hoover said that while deputies found cannabis from the Los Alamos grow for sale at the dispensary, the shop is not the main focus of the investigation. “[The product] appeared to be labeled to meet the state standards for retail sale,” Hoover said.

805 Beach Breaks management did not return requests for comment from New Times.

By the afternoon of March 28, the dispensary had reopened to the public. It remained open as of press time, according to Grover Beach City Manager Matthew Bronson. Following the sheriff’s search, which city officials were not provided advanced notice of, the Grover Beach Police Department opened a case of its own to investigate whether the shop violated any local cannabis ordinances.

“Community safety is paramount in how we carry out our ordinance,” Bronson told New Times. “Any violations we do find and substantiate will be dealt with in a very appropriate manner.”

Sheriff’s investigating second homicide in Oceano The small beach town of Oceano recently had another homicide, according to the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office.

The department announced that it was investigating the death of an unnamed man in Oceano who reportedly died after being shot. The death marks the second homicide in the area this year, following the death of a well-known environmental activist in January.

Sheriff’s officials said the most recent death occurred in the early morning hours of April. Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of an assault with a deadly weapon in the 2200 block of Beach Street in Oceano. When they arrived, the deputies found a man dead

VIEWER DISCRETION inside the home. After further investigation, sheriff’s officials said they believe that the victim knocked on the door of a neighbor’s house, and when they opened the door, the victim told the residents inside that he’d been shot.

“My understanding is that the victim and neighbor knew each other, but as to how well they were acquainted, we don’t know at this point,” Sheriff’s spokesman Tony Cipolla said in an email response to questions from New Times.

Cipolla declined to elaborate on where and how many times the victim had been shot. As of April 3, the Sheriff’s Office hadn’t released the name of the victim and hadn’t identified any suspects or made any arrests in the case.

The death occurred less than 2 miles from the scene of another homicide in Oceano.

On Jan. 24, sheriff’s deputies discovered the body of 90-year-old Oceano Dunes activist Larry Bross at his home in the 1400 block of Strand Way. A medical examiner later determined that Bross died of “multiple chop-force injuries.” Bross’ murder remains under investigation. The Sheriff’s Office hasn’t publicly identified any suspects in the case, and no arrests have been made.

On Feb. 28, the Sheriff’s Office offered a $10,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for Bross’ death.

“There is no indication this is related to the Bross homicide,” Cipolla wrote. “We believe this to be an isolated incident.”

Anyone with information on either homicide is encouraged to contact the Sheriff’s Office directly at (805) 7814550. They can also anonymously report information to Crime Stoppers at (805) 549-7867 or at slotips.org.

Grover Beach discusses short-term rentals Grover Beach officials began taking the next steps in drafting a short-term rental ordinance, slated to go into effect by the summer.

City Manager Matthew Bronson said it’s important for the city to get the ordinance right.

“We’ve been working on a fast-track in order to create a regulatory environment where there is none in time for, ideally, this summer/fall when we have the most usage of our short-term rentals,” Bronson said.

At its April 1 meeting, the Grover Beach City Council unanimously approved the short-term rental regulatory framework and recommended that staff proceed with drafting an ordinance.

While there aren’t any specifics about the draft ordinance just yet, Bronson told New Times that at a Jan. 22 meeting, the council asked staff to look into not limiting short-term rentals in certain areas of the city and not limiting the location of rentals to just residential areas. The council also wanted staff to

6 • New Times • April 4 - April 11, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

include homestay—where the owner is present on the property while the guest is staying—but not limit the rentals to just that option.

“The ordinance will also have the information and requirements with regard to noise, parking, garbage, and it will talk about the complaint process and the violation process to ensure neighborhood compatibility while we allow the short-term rentals in a regulated manner,” Bronson said.

The city currently does not have an ordinance that addresses short-term rentals.

According to a staff report, in 2011 the council considered adopting a short-term rental ordinance but did not take action at the time. Since then, the number of short-term rentals has increased, as has the number of reported complaints from neighbors of the rentals.

Host Compliance, a firm that tracks short-term rentals for local agencies, estimated that there are currently about 100 short-term rentals advertising in Grover Beach.

The actual availability of short-term rentals in the city is unknown as is the amount of transient-occupancy tax the city of Grover Beach is losing by not regulating the rentals, the report stated.

The city, however, did receive about $69,000 in transient-occupancy taxes over the last year from approximately 40 short-term rentals that voluntarily submitted taxes to the city.

The draft ordinance will be brought to the council on May 6 for feedback and review, and the public hearing process will begin for the Planning Commission and the City Council by the end of June.

outside the Rite Aid on 2424 Spring St. Police initially responded to multiple reports of a collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian. However, further investigation revealed that the incident began after an unnamed loss-prevention employee in the store attempted to stop and detain a shoplifter. The shoplifter allegedly left the store and got into a vehicle to flee the scene. The employee followed him outside and attempted to hang on to the suspect’s vehicle, described by police as a white truck. The lossprevention employee lost his grip and fell from the truck, which fled the scene, according to police officials.

The loss-prevention employee was taken from the scene in an ambulance, but Paso PD Cmdr. Caleb Davis said the employee suffered only minor injuries as a result of the incident. No arrests have been made, but police have released a photo of the suspect, who appears to be a white male.

The incident remains under investigation. When asked about loss prevention employees and other civilians physically confronting suspects, Davis said the department asks people to consider their personal safety and contact the police in such situations.

“Officially, we’d like them not to put themselves in harm’s way,” Davis told New Times. “We’d certainly like to avoid them getting injured themselves.”

Rite Aid’s corporate headquarters did not respond to a request for comment from New Times. Davis said that the Rite Aid location wasn’t usually a problem area for the department. The investigation remains ongoing, and the Paso Police Department is asking anyone with information about the incident to call (805) 237-6464.

Who’s in control?

San Francisco senator talks controversial SB 50 at SLO housing summit

W

hile elected officials from across San Luis Obispo County filed into Grace Central Coast in SLO to attend a regional housing summit on March 22, a group of local residents huddled outside in protest.

They held up signs that read, “Oppose SB 50, Safeguard Local Control,” and chanted, “With top-down mandates, Big Brother’s on the rise! Here comes big money, goodbye views, goodbye skies!”

At the heart of the city of SLO’s recent battles over housing development—on display with the contentious reviews of fourstory mixed-use apartments along Foothill Boulevard, for instance—is friction between state laws that aim to speed up housing production and the community’s desire to preserve local planning control.

Sacramento’s already passed several laws that incentivize housing while chipping away at cities’ discretion, and Senate Bill 50 (SB 50)—the More Homes Act—is arguably its boldest proposal yet.

Authored by Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), SB 50 would effectively override local zoning and development standards for housing projects that are proposed in transit areas (near train stations and major bus stops) as well as in “jobs rich” areas—

defined loosely as places that have “positive educational and economic outcomes for households of all income levels.”

SB 50, which is still in legislative committees, has local control advocates up in arms—like the SLO County residents who stood protesting Sen. Wiener at his March 22 appearance at the summit hosted by the Housing Coalition of the Central Coast.

Wiener spoke about his bill to local officials and other summit attendees inside Grace Central Coast.

“Local control is a good thing when it delivers good results,” Wiener said. “When local control is not delivering good results, you have to make a change. Really [for] forever in California, we’ve had a system where local communities have almost pure local control over whether any housing gets built and, if so, how much. We’ve had this system and where are we? We have a 3.5 million-home housing deficit in California.”

Wiener described SB 50 as both a bill and a tool “to spark hard conversations.”

Some of its details: Housing projects that are proposed within a quarter mile of transit lines couldn’t be restricted to under 55 feet in height, and within a half mile, 45 feet. It also limits the extent to

What students want their parents to know

A panel of students and professionals create an open space for students and their parents to talk

F

or a little more than four years now, Ana O’Sullivan and Kerri Mahoney have worked together to research and understand student social-emotional wellness and mental health, sharing what they’ve learned through connectbewell.org.

The pair is taking their studies a step further by trying to understand and fill the resource gap that exists in schools, curriculum, and communication at home.

They did this by creating a panel on March 20 for students to openly talk to their parents about issues surrounding stress or the pressures of school success, and also for parents to understand how to approach the conversation with their students.

In 2016, the duo helped create the REACH Club at San Luis Obispo High School that meets weekly during lunch.

The club creates a space for students to connect with one another and talk about ways to cope with stress and anxiety.

“With the REACH Club, and also the work we’re doing within the school district, we really want it to be the catalyst for the social-emotional learning component that hasn’t been here, but we thought, ‘How often do we listen to our students?’” Mahoney said.

So their next step was creating a space for students to talk about what they’re feeling or going through, share the

resources that SLO County has to offer, and listen to the students.

Mahoney said that she and Sullivan surveyed all the 10th and 12th grade students at SLO High School using a questionnaire that asked about the top three things they wished their parents could understand better.

They received more than 1,600 responses from students.

The answers laid out five areas that students wanted to talk about: handling stress, pressures and expectations for school success, becoming an adult, anxiety and depression, parental relations and communication—all things the duo learned about in their research.

O’Sullivan and Mahoney worked with SLO County Behavioral Health, Cal Poly, Transitions-Mental Health Association, counselors from the high school, and students to create the panel titled, What We Wish Our Parents Understood. The goal was to talk about the issues raised from the survey.

Along with the discussion, mainly led by students, parents in the audience had the opportunity to privately ask questions from anyone on the panel by scanning a QR code.

Mahoney said the panel’s most discussed topic was stress and the pressures of school success.

“How can we use it for a way to catapult forward versus it stops us in our tracks? And the nice thing was when the professional panel came up and focused on the same questions and what they were seeing,” Mahoney said.

Chris Inman, a SLO High counselor, was on the professional panel and is new to the high school. He said that the event, while very important for students, was equally important for parents.

“It was nice for parents, after hearing all the students’ responses, to be able to ask follow-up questions that wouldn’t really put the students on the spot because it was really more of a night for students to express their feelings and have them be heard,” Inman said.

He said there is a barrier to having these discussions because students may not go to their parents or the school counseling staff to talk until they feel it’s their last resort.

“The hard part is that sometimes it’s the last straw for a lot of students, where they’ll come to us after they can’t think of something else, so it’s sort of how we break down these walls of communication and break the taboo of seeking help,” he said.

His No. 1 piece of advice for parents is to really listen to their child.

“A lot of times without even intending to, parents will try to solve a problem or fix something for their student or their child immediately because that’s what

they think the student is coming to them for,” Inman said.

Instead, Inman said, parents should say, “Thank you for sharing that with me.

Did you need to vent or is there something I can help with?”

His second piece of advice is for parents to ask themselves who they’re doing this for.

“Sometimes the parents will want to do something for their child but you have to really ask yourself: Is this step or whatever you’re choosing to do because it will make you feel better or because it will make your child feel better?” he said.

What O’Sullivan and Mahoney are doing with their research is learning how society’s culture and climate is changing in regards to communication.

“For the kids to really feel like they’re being seen and heard and for parents to be willing to be brave enough and to be willing to listen, because you know it’s hard to listen sometimes to what our kids might need to say,” Mahoney said.

This panel was the first of many that will take place at different high schools in San Luis Obispo County. By customizing the events to the students and families at each school site, O’Sullivan and Mahoney believe that the school and the community will have a better understanding of what their students are going through. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

Air of spring

A couple of hot spots to chill out now that the weather is clear

W

ell, it finally stopped raining—for a few days anyway. Don’t get us wrong, we appreciate the liquid relief that’s poured down like mana from heaven, because it’s been a rough few years. By the time April rolls around, though, it feels like enough is enough! Being cooped up all winter certainly has its costs. Everyone is pasty and irritable. We decided to get out to some of our favorite spots, get a sunburn, and play a little in celebration of the warmer weather.

And just in case you needed help figuring out what to do (and as an excuse to “work” away from work), we thought we would share.

Spring opportunism

I

almost chickened out. The wind howled in from the ocean and whipped sand up at my face as I stood at the edge of Pismo Beach holding my wetsuit and towel. I looked up: There wasn’t a cloud in the sky—a crystal clear, spring afternoon. But as any beach bum with a brain knows, a blue sky doesn’t always equate to quality conditions. The surf was stirred up; the wind made the ocean air cold.

I’d chosen my favorite outdoor activity to write about for this spring appreciation issue, but maybe I’d picked the wrong day and wrong activity (should’ve done the wildflower thing ... dammit). Tempted to throw my wetsuit in my trunk and go back to the drawing board, I realized that this was all actually kind of perfect.

I thought about what makes spring special. Spring is not about predictable, long and lazy days frolicking in 85-degree weather—that’s summer. It isn’t a season with an open three-month invitation to bask in its glory. Spring is about windows of opportunity. The wildflower blooms peak for what’s like a blink in time, and you have to go to special places to find them. One beautiful, sunny day for a hike could be followed by three rainy ones with no PHOTOS BY PETER JOHNSON chance for hitting the trails. A good beach day can quickly morph into a pretty crappy one. And you might miss the great days, anyway, because you’re at work.

The beauty of spring is that it’s fleeting, and it takes a stroke of fortunate timing to experience it.

Here, I had the afternoon off to enjoy the beach. I seized it, put on my wetsuit, and bodysurfed Pismo Beach for more than an hour. It’s funny how wind and coldness become afterthoughts when you’re tumbling down the face of a wave, letting the salt water heal your body like a good ice bath.

After drying off—with the wind really whipping now—I took refuge in one of my favorite arcades/pool halls, Hot Shots. While practicing my pool game, I sipped on the new triple hazy IPA from Central Coast Brewing (yum) and watched the first half of a Sweet 16 college basketball game NOT-SO-HOT SHOT After going in (RIP Gonzaga). This, honestly, is the the ocean, I walked over to one of my setting you’re mostly likely to find me favorite pool halls, Hot Shots, to hone in—that is until spring serves up its my mediocre pool game and watch next opportunity to seize.

March Madness—another spring favorite —Peter Johnson of mine.

WINDY BUT GOODY Though the sun was fully out on this afternoon at Pismo Beach, it was also windy and chilly. That didn’t stop me from bodysurfing for over an hour.

OVER THE DUNES Once down the long expanse of beach at Rancho Guadalupe Dunes Preserve and over the Mussel Rock Dunes, hikers will witness expansive views of the ocean and nearly untouched wilderness.

Deep in the dunes

T

PHOTO BY ELI NORDSTROM

he Guadalupe Dunes offer a massive expanse of pristine coastal sand and ocean views, and aside from the parking lot and small slice of beach within a few hundred yards of it, the park is generally void of human life. There’s nothing but empty beach and sand as far as the eye can see in both directions, and when I first moved to California, I decided to explore.

What I found is a hike through the dunes that feels something like a lonesome desert journey, or maybe the exploration of an island you’ve washed up on as the sole survivor of an ocean plane crash. WILSON!!

Either way, the end result is absolutely breathtaking (sorry, there’s no less cliche IT TAKES MUSCLE TO GET TO way to describe it), and it offers a true escape MUSSEL If you have the guts and from society and other human beings. perseverance to trudge through sand, It takes hours and no little amount of scale walls, and face the wind for a few patience to really do this hike justice, and hours, your reward will be reaching Mussel some people (including my boyfriend) just Point (pictured), which serves up gorgeous can’t handle it. The park typically closes views and flat land perfect for a picnic. sometime around 7 or 8 p.m., depending on the time of year, and you’ll want to give yourself at least three full hours to really enjoy it.

You can drive up to the Guadalupe Dunes beachfront, but you’ll have to walk from there. If you’re facing the ocean, take a left turn, and walk along the coast. This portion takes a looonnngg time, and, just a warning, trudging through the sand gets very annoying. It’s best to wear sneakers that give your foot a larger surface area, in my very scientific and expert opinion.

In the spring, water levels are higher, and the ocean’s tide will force you up and over some cliffs earlier in the walk than if you were hiking in the late summer or winter.

Eventually you’ll have to climb up some very vertical looking walls of sand—but have no fear, sand makes the seemingly impossible climb easy.

Once you’re around this area, you’ve officially reached the Mussel Rock Dunes, and you’ll be at a high enough elevation to see over the entirety of the Guadalupe Dunes Preserve coastline.

If you continue on along the coast, you’ll climb up and down dunes, many of which are topped with blossoming succulents and colorful wildflowers. There’s not a trail, per se, and although the sandy footprints become increasingly difficult to find as you move on, you can typically see where at least one other person has walked safely before you.

Eventually you’ll reach Mussel Point, and from there you’ll have essentially a 360 degree view of the ocean and dunes. Past Mussel Point is yet another expanse of largely untouched beach, anchored by plush green mountains rather than dunes.

This area has some flat space that’s perfect for rolling out a blanket and lying around awhile. You can read, have a picnic, or spot whales flopping about in the ocean.

And although I always see at least one little trail of footprints laid out across the beach past Mussel Point, I haven’t quite figured out how to get down there yet. Maybe next time.

Swing into relaxation

S

pring has officially sprung on March 20, and aside from a couple of days of rain, there have been plenty of beautifully warm sunny days. It’s the perfect time to stretch my legs, go on a hike, and find a sweet spot to set up my hammock.

Two summers ago, I finally invested in an ENO hammock. (No this is not an ad, but ENO, if you’re reading this and need a sponsor let me know!) In case you’re wondering, I recommend getting a DoubleNest—it holds up to 400 pounds so it’s perfect for just you or you and a friend or a pet.

My suggested essentials for hiking and hammocking are: plenty of water—I know you know this, but it’s worth mentioning—and a snack like trail mix or fruit, and sometimes a book.

You don’t have to hike to set up your hammock between two trees. I also love setting it up underneath the pier at Avila Beach. It’s perfect for people watching, reading, catching a sunset, and all-around maximum relaxation.

There’s a great hammocking spot on top of Ontario Ridge. There are two ways to get there. On Indio Drive in Shell Beach, there’s an entrance that’s kind of hidden a few feet away from the Cave Landing Trail parking lot. The other entrance is the one I use, and it’s located right next to the parking area of Pirate’s Cove in Avila Beach.

The hike is very steep, like out-of-breath-by-the-timePHOTOS BY KAREN GARCIA you-get-to-the-top steep. Once you make it to the top (and have had several gulps of water), go right and make your way up another semi-steep hill. To your right will be a shaded spot with a swing hanging from a tree and an ocean view; to your left is another shaded area with a swing and two trees for your hammock.

The spot lets in just enough sunlight to keep you warm, and it’s off the trail enough to be quiet. At times, people will come and take pictures with the swing (because Instagram), but they leave pretty quickly.

Depending on where you start, the Ontario Ridge hike can be a 2.8 mile loop. I love the loop for the sweeping views of Avila and Shell Beach, the flowers that are starting to pop up all over the trail, and pups along the way.

Wine with a view

YELLOW FOR DAYS The bloom is going off along Shell Creek Road, and it’s only just begun. But it won’t last long.

Bloom or bust

E

ast Highway 41 is making me giddy as I swing the steering wheel from curve to curve, windows down, lush hillsides glowing in the late afternoon sun, and some Devil Makes Three pumping out of my speakers. There’s just something about a two-lane road that sets me at ease. It’s late on Friday afternoon—the end of another very long week—and I’ve been fiending for some outdoor time.

Occasionally stopping to sniff the air rushing in, my dog is pacing in the backseat.

He’s ready too.

Hunting flowers is my springtime ritual. The sun pops out, the earth warms a little, and those tiny little colorful miracles start to show off their petals. I’m trying not to let #superbloom selfie fever ruin my tradition (and it gets harder every year). Today, the target is Shell Creek Road before sunset. I have an hour and 15 minutes.

Half an hour later, I’m pulling past the windmill off Highway 58. Thankfully, there are only a few cars scattered along the road. Water trickles down the creek, which has been dry for the past several springs I’ve ventured out here. Yellow pushes up the hillsides on both sides with patches of purple. The occasional prick of orange poppies breaks up the palette. It is indeed super.

I find a parking spot and a cattle trail, leash up the dog, and take a walk. Padding on top of the hoof prints that dried into the dirt, I take in the fiddleneck, clover, hillside daisies, tidy tips, and baby blue eyes coating the meadow. Cattle graze nearby as the light fades, and the lilting chirp of a bird echoes off oaks that have yet to leaf out. This definitely doesn’t suck.

To complete my ritual, I stop

by Dunbar Brewing in Santa Margarita for a pint, and grab a burrito from The Taco Stand truck that’s parked out front (it has the spiciest salsas in all the land, I swear). The food truck closes up shop at 8:30 p.m. sharp—no joke, everything was packed up and they were gone before 8:40 p.m.

he rains are mostly over, and spring has sprung in Northern Santa Barbara County.

For me, there’s no better time to hit up nearby wine country.

Perched atop a high hill just south of Santa Maria is Presqu’ile Winery.

Between selections of some of my favorite wines and a slate of cool events at its scenic tasting room, this place definitely tops VIEW FROM THE TOP Presqu’ile winery has great view the list of my favorite of the Santa Maria Valley and great wine to match. places to kick back, relax, and make the most of beautiful weather.

Half the fun of visiting Presqu’ile is the drive up to the tasting room itself. The road is long, paved, and winds through rolling hills covered in trellises. Every time I make that climb, it gives me a sense of being drawn away from the general hustle and bustle of life. The sounds of traffic from the busy Highway 101 and roads recede, replaced with the more subtle noises of the vineyard: birds chirping and the wind gently rustling the leaves shading acres of grapes.

While a lot of area wineries go for a rustic, Western look, Presqu’ile’s building is tastefully modern. Its geometry is all sharp angles of stone, polished wood, and glass. Inside you’ll find comfy but chic furniture to lounge on, art on the walls, and a spectacular view of the vineyard and greater Santa Maria Valley through massive windows.

When I finally grab a glass of pinot noir or syrah (I’m a big fan of red wines of all types), I usually head outside to the winery’s amazing patio. It’s huge and multileveled with a small space for live music performances and even horseshoe pits. My favorite activity on the patio, though, is simply sitting and gazing out at the view while sipping, pausing occasionally to snap a photo for Instagram to make friends and family jealous.

While my first visit this spring was simple, quiet, and uneventful, I know that future visits are going to be far livelier. Presqu’lie always packs its schedule with amazing events. Those include concerts.

Celebrate movie watching

T

he way we watch films has drastically changed over the last few years. Aside from movie theaters, there are streaming services, renting services, and, of course, finding movies on demand using a cable TV service. Instant gratification.

While we may have all these tools at our fingertips, nothing is more satisfying than walking up to the ticket kiosk and choosing your seat in a movie theater.

And don’t forget the welcome smell of freshly made popcorn.

The cinema experience is one that everyone should participate in, especially this year, in celebration of The Movie Experience Downtown Centre Cinemas’ 25th anniversary.

Kirk Moses, general manager and head projectionist, said it’s been a blast to work with the community, and the cinema is appreciative of the local support. But this theater’s history goes back more than a quarter of a century.

The Sanborn family that owns the theater has been in the business since as early as 1908. A.L. Sanborn had a management position in an opera house in Maquoketa, Iowa, and in a Pastime Theatre. He made his way to Southern California and worked at Paramount Pictures, first in production and then as an assistant director with business manager duties.

Around 1919, Sanborn acquired a playhouse in Los Angeles and opened the LaSalle Theatre a year later. The rest is history, as Sanborn discovered he had a passion for directing theaters.

“Over 25 years ago, the Sanborn family was invited to SLO to be a part of the French Brother Project, which was going to be a four-story mall, but that was never built. So Copeland Enterprises took it over and turned it into what we see today,” Moses said.

At the same time, the Sanborn family was in its 75th year in the theater business—making this year the family’s

100th year overall.

Moses said the Centre Cinema’s ribbon cutting was in downtown San Luis Obispo on March 29, 1994, which was before the Marsh Street parking lot existed. On the day of the grand opening, the cinema also ran a charity event, where it gave discounted movie tickets for various Western films on the big screen all day and night.

He said the reason the family wanted a theater in SLO was for fun.

“Because we are in downtown, it’s been mostly for fun and not for profit. We came here to have fun in this beautiful city, and this is why of PHOTO BY KAREN GARCIA all the theaters that the Sanborn family kept over the years, this is the only one that remains,” Moses said.

What’s so fun about the Downtown Centre is not only grabbing a seat to catch the latest film but taking advantage of all the added perks.

LOST IN FILM The Movie Experience Downtown For certain films, Centre Cinemas in SLO turns 25 this year. there are 3D

showings, plus the theaters have reclining seats, and if you’re 21 and older you have the option of buying beer or wine instead of soda.

The theater also brings back vintage films to the big screen throughout the year. For example, Steel Magnolias will be shown in May and Field of Dreams in June.

The next time you’re considering staying home and catching a flick, think about supporting your local theater that just turned 25.

According to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men in the United States will experience some type of sexual violence in their lifetime.

Sexual violence is an umbrella term used to describe any sexual act committed without freely given consent—including sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, sexual harassment, and abuse.

The California Office of Emergency Services reports that rape crisis centers in the state served 32,635 survivors during the 2015-16 fiscal year. These centers provide vital services to victims, including prevention education, confidential crisis counseling, and accompaniments to law enforcement and medical appointments.

It is imperative that we continue to engage on this issue in order to foster a more inclusive, respectful, and equitable society. Each of us has an active role to play in this dialogue, and I ask that you

consider how you can contribute to the conversation and be part of the solution to addressing gender-based violence. A great first step is looking into what local organizations are doing during Sexual Assault Awareness Month and attending an event or training to get educated on the issue.

If you need support, want to find more information, or are unsure about how to support someone affected by sexual violence, you can contact the national Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network hotline at (800) 656-4673 to speak to a certified crisis counselor or receive referrals for local services.

Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Please join me by staying involved in this conversation throughout Sexual Assault Awareness Month and beyond.

As one of the first licensed cannabis farms in the county, we felt a strong responsibility to bring a fully compliant, well-reasoned project to our Board of Supervisors, and we were gratified to receive unanimous approval.

Show me the evidence So who are the liars?

Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, all California’s finest; Chuck Schumer, one of New York’s greats; all the mainstream media mouths; or is it Robert Mueller? Each of these, except Mueller, stood directly in front of TV cameras and stated they had evidence that President Donald Trump had colluded with the Russians. They were all righteously indignant and quick to condemn the president when they hoped he had colluded.

Schiff is still babbling on about collusion. Where is your evidence, sir?

What do you have that Mueller missed?

How pitiful you all look.

The media mouths are even worse.

What a despicable lot. You could almost see them drooling in anticipation of the guilty findings from Mueller. Has even one of the above apologized to the

president or his family? I, for one, am fed up with these hypocrites and the calls for impeachment. I would rather see a few dozen recalls of these overpaid “public servants.” (Who believes that title?)

This paper has recently run editorial pieces calling for Congress to start doing what we pay them to do. Make America great again (their words). Where was that call over the past two years? Now that the heat may be applied to the Democrat liars with another investigation into who started all these fabricated collusion charges and wasted $25 million (can you say witch hunt?), suddenly the media wants to move on and get Congress to do what we pay them to do.

I say have Mueller investigate who started this attempt to take down our president, pull every one of them out from under whatever rock they crawl under, and let the American people see what a slimy lot they are. I wish the president would sue each and every one who said he/she had evidence. Produce it!

and fabrications that he could be a speechwriter for President Trump. In no particular order: 1. The current 2019 budget is a Republican production, not Democratic (remember Trump’s shutdown), notwithstanding Paul Ryan’s tax cut that added trillions to the deficit.

2. Congress is responsible for “oversight” of the executive; therefore, Democrats are just starting investigations to hold Trump accountable. Republicans shirked their responsibility.

3. Before 9/11, the White House disregarded multiple warnings from the FBI and CIA, including the Aug. 6, 2001, President’s Daily Brief titled “Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in U.S.” They were the ones “asleep at the wheel.”

4. We have not seen the “Mueller Report“ (300-plus pages), only the “Barr Memo” (3 1/2 pages), which is a political

document designed to give Trump his talking points and right-wing pundits like Fonzi time to spin their deceptions.

Let’s wait until the facts and the full report are presented.

5. The FBI did not “infiltrate” the Trump campaign. The FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrant was legal. The “dossier” was not manufactured by Russian agents. Robert Mueller’s duty was not to prosecute Trump but provide the facts, pro and con, to Congress. “Criminal conspiracy” has to be proven with the Russian government not just with Russians. Nixon did not destroy the tapes, etc.

Finally, as a liberal, I could write a more coherent, factual, informative conservative opinion than Al Fonzi.

County: Don’t let State Parks ruin Oceano

Thank you to The Tribune for the March 21 editorial “SLO County, don’t let State Parks get away with ruining air quality on Nipomo Mesa.” Please also write an opinion called “Don’t let State Parks ruin Oceano beach.”

Here is why: State Parks and the county sweep Pier Avenue and the vicinity regularly. Altogether, they remove and dump tons of sand in local landfills every week and mostly from Pier Avenue and the vicinity.

The sweeping is done by three agencies: State Parks’ own sweeper, State Parks’ contractor, and the county’s contractor.

Why take the risk?

Notice that while so much sweeping is needed on Pier Avenue and vicinity, Grand Avenue is swept only by State Parks’ own sweeper three times a week.

It’s reasonable to say that most of the sand is removed from the Oceano beach area alone.

Why does the Oceano beach area have so much more sand on it? Because Pier Avenue is the most used avenue to and from the beach. Cars carry the sand on their tires and drop it in our community. Pier Avenue and the vicinity are exposed to just as much PM10 air pollution as the Mesa.

Furthermore, because so much sand is being carried away and the beach is getting lower, we are at a greater risk from flooding caused by big storms and sea level rise.

Pier Avenue must be closed as an entrance to the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area; cars should not drive on the beach; and the fore dunes, our natural protection against flooding, must be put back in place.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY ANDREW CHRISTIE

Want to fix the affordable housing crisis?

T

he Sierra Club has a history of involvement in housing issues. We have long-standing policies that strongly support infill projects, reducing pollution, and preserving the natural environment in relation to housing development.

We also support affordable housing as a matter of social justice. This aspect of California’s affordable housing crisis was summed up in the March 25 New York Times by California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Dr. Daniel Kammen, professor of energy at UC Berkeley: “By making housing shockingly expensive near jobs and transit, cities force low-income and working-class people to live far away from where they work. Our communities lose their economic diversity, while the abundant opportunities, services, and neighborhood amenities of cities are walled off to all but the very wealthy.”

That’s a good backdrop against which to view San Luis Obispo County 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton’s notorious preferred solution to the crisis: Young people should study the most potentially lucrative subjects in college so they can get jobs that will make them rich enough to afford a home.

It’s also an appropriate backdrop for the recent “landmark” deal on affordable housing brokered by the county Board of Supervisors, which effected a compromise that threw in the towel on the county’s longstanding goal of ramping up to a

requirement that all residential development projects include 20 percent affordable units.

The county’s compromise deal set the bar at “a fixed 8 percent requirement.”

The city of SLO appears to be in the grips of the notion that the city can build its way out of the affordable housing crisis by issuing permits to all comers, along with waivers from the general plan and established environmental requirements for orderly development, without much pondering of just how a rapidly increasing supply of $600,000-and-up, threebedroom, single-family homes is going to solve a crisis of affordability.

How do these outcomes square with workforce housing pilot programs and affordable housing incentives at the county and the city, and how can those outcomes be improved?

To help answer that question, the Sierra Club is hosting a town hall on affordable housing on May 15 at the Copeland Pavilion at French Medical Center. It’s open to all.

The Copeland Pavilion is at 1823 Johnson Ave., third floor. There’s parking in the back. The meeting starts at 7 p.m.

Postscript: Recently, in this space (“A Terrible Deal,” March 14), Al Fonzi tried to defend a core belief in the IMAGE COURTESY OF MAKIKO SATO mythology of climate change denial, writing that “there’s been virtually no measurable or statistically relevant warming of the climate for nearly the last 20 years (since 1998), and the climate models that are predicting an overheated planet didn’t foresee this and can’t explain it.” In support of this claim, Mr. Fonzi sought to enlist former NASA scientist James Hansen, who was “reported to have stated ‘that

BY THE NUMBERS James Hansen, former NASA scientist and an author of “Global Temperature in nature may conspire [over] the 2017,” shared this up-to-date global temperature next 10 years to produce the graph showing an upward trend in surface impression of an ongoing pause temperature of the Earth. in global warming.’”

EMPLOYMENT

EMPLOYMENT

The Sun in Northern Santa Barbara County is looking for its next staff writer, but we’re not looking for just any article-pushing, source-wrangling, story-chasing someone.

Join Our Team!

FULL-TIME WRITER Are you sick of editing or regurgitating press releases day after day? Or maybe it’s those damn list things— you know the ones: “Top 10 hottest places to eat your lunch on a rainy day.” Or maybe it’s just not being able to put the time and reporting into a story that deserves it: the weeks and repeated phone calls that give a story what it needs to ripen into the hard-charging, data-filled narrative it’s dying to be; the time that turns a “meh” story into one that blows a hole in the status quo.

Can you see the big picture of what a story means to a community? Is that what drives you? Do you know what it takes to—yes, we know, it’s cliché—make a difference in the lives of the people you cover? Does that sort of thing matter to you?

If so, then you’re exactly who we’re looking for: a staff writer who isn’t afraid to take on the tedious, the tenuous, or the talented. That certain someone who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to the communities we cover at the Sun and New Times. Oil, agricultural, water, and environmental advocacy aren’t the only things that drive this place—although those are pretty juicy beats.

There’s more, and we want to hire someone who can drive his or herself to unearth those stories and tell them in a meaningful way.

Let us know if you’ve got what it takes. We dare you. Send a résumé, cover letter, and story samples to Cindy Rucker at crucker@newtimesslo.com.

Hansen’s actual quote, from the paper “Global Temperature in 2017,” reads thusly: “Because of the combination of the strong 2016 El Niño and the phase of the solar cycle, it is plausible, if not likely, that the next 10 years of global temperature change will leave an impression of a ‘global warming hiatus.’”

In other words, Hansen’s quote provided precisely zero support for Fonzi’s claim. I asked Dr. Hansen what he thought about Mr. Fonzi’s interpretation of his words and received the following response: “He is speaking nonsense. Why don’t you send him the up-to-date global temperature graph below and ask where the hiatus or slowdown in warming is.”

Happy to oblige.

The peddling of fringe theories supported by deliberate distortions and nonsensical arguments raises a question for newspapers and journalists who believe in “both sides” journalism: What is their obligation to provide a megaphone for the pollution of the public dialogue by those who wish to proclaim not only that the Earth is flat, but assure the citizenry that the theater is not on fire as the flames spread across the mezzanine and leap up the curtain? ∆

The Shredder

Everybody jump … to conclusions!

H

oly Chicago moonshiners!

We haven’t seen action like this since Eliot Ness set his moonshinebusting sights on Al Capone!

Grover Beach recently had a swarm of law enforcement agents descend on 805 Beach Breaks, the county’s first legal brick-and-mortar pot dispensary, shuttering it for half a day as they investigated … something.

“Month Long Investigation Leads Cannabis Compliance Team to Serve Search Warrants in Grover Beach and Los Alamos,” a Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office press release screamed. It went on to explain how “the Sheriff’s Cannabis Compliance Team (CCT) served a search warrant at 805 Beach Breaks” in a multi-agency bust that included the Sheriff’s Criminal Investigations Bureau, Santa Maria Police Department’s Special Enforcement Team, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office, the Grover Beach Police Department, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Really? Fish and Wildlife? Couldn’t you guys find a mall cop to drive his golf cart over and help out, too? Must have been a slow day at the office, eh?

In Los Alamos, the press release explained, law enforcement “located the largest marijuana growing operation they have investigated since the team formed in June of 2018.” Did you hear that? The largest! Bigger than Trump’s inaugural!

“While the investigation is still ongoing, this case involves the issue of fraudulent licensing and the black-market diversion of cannabis,” the press release continued.

“This diversion of cannabis into the illicit market is a public safety concern in that it doesn’t ensure the proper testing and licensing of the cannabis.”

Plus it probably avoids taxes, right?

Quick question to all the stoners out there: What did you do to ensure your pot was safe before Big Brother made sure it was properly tested?

More importantly, what did 805 Beach Breaks have to do with this Los Alamos grow? Good question! No answer! The cannabis shop is back up and running, but that hasn’t stopped people from freaking out with a chorus of “I told you so” about the dangers of legal marijuana.

Even if 805 Beach Breaks purchased its product from an out-of-compliance grower, should they be held liable? Does 7-Eleven have to check to make sure its Pabst Blue Ribbon distributor is in compliance? The main point here is no one knows what’s going on yet, and the police ain’t talking.

But that didn’t stop gifted amateur gadfly Kevin P. Rice from writing to scold me to “eat crow” for tut-tutting former Grover City Councilmember Debbie Peterson’s claims about Natural Healing Center owner Helios Dayspring and corrupt politicians on the take from the cannabis industry.

Gee, Kevin, do you know what’s going on at 805 Beach Breaks? No? Eat a pot brownie and chill out, bro.

Personally, I think the po-po just miss the good ol’ days of busting pot growers and sellers. I know it seemed like when we legalized weed, it would free up law enforcement to go after more dangerous drugs like opioids and meth, but let’s face it: A lot of cops still have a hard-on for pot, and even though the majority of state voters approved recreational cannabis, there are people out there who do not approve!

In fact, some people simply hate druggies and would be perfectly happy to let them die. After New Times reporter Chris McGuinness wrote about how SLO County was pursuing more drug treatment programs—by allowing the county Health Agency to apply for a $150,000 grant from the California Department of Health Care Services to expand access to treatment in three additional locations in North and South County—some of our Facebook readers let us know what they thought about drug users.

Alison Edwards wrote that it was a “waste of resources,” but my favorite was Bernie Reis, who wrote, “Everything has to be made easier for all these losers. ... These people are destroying themselves on the backs of the hardworking citizenry.

Stop wasting taxpayer money and better yet, stop taxing hard working, law abiding citizens for those who create their own destiny. Life is not easy, it’s hard, pull your big boy/girl pants up and help yourself. Just read about ‘snowplow’ generation where everyone is clearing the paths for all these losers.”

I wonder if Bernie’s a Trump supporter.

“Build the wall! Just not with my tax money!”

Hey all, the Health Agency wants to prevent opioid overdose deaths. If you don’t think that’s worth spending money on, you’ve probably never met anyone with addiction problems.

You know what else our Facebook readers are upset about? The San Luis Obispo County Council of Government’s (SLOCOG) recommendation to close the El Campo intersection on Highway 101, where Cal Poly freshman Jordan Grant was killed by a driver turning left across the highway.

Jack Scagnetti wrote, “Tell the SLOCOG we appreciate their opinion and to pound sand. Thanks!”

Ryan Burmaster wrote, “No. Intersections shouldn’t be closed because someone couldn’t drive. However, our highways, thoroughfares, and main arteries of transportation do need to be kept open.”

Coleen Tooley wrote, “What about the people that use it to get to work. If u close it their compute will be longer.”

“Don’t tread on me! Give me convenience, or give me death!”

Mmm. I love the smell of compassion in the morning. ∆ The Shredder saunters to conclusions.

One of a kind Phil Lee’s still the mighty king of love

hat can I tell you about Phil Lee? He loves Xoloitzcuintli, the Mexican hairless dog breed, and has two of them. He lives in Cayucos, though he tours regularly throughout the United States in his black cargo van. He sports outlandish hats of all varieties. He’s impish of stature but always carries a knife, which he can throw accurately. He writes brilliant, hilarious, heartbreaking songs. Like Bob Dylan, he has a singular unorthodox voice that grows on you the more you hear it.

He’s also playing Painted Sky Studios this Wednesday, April 10, with The Staehely Brothers (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $20 at Boo Boo Records, Ball & Skein, by phone at (805) 927-8330, and, if not sold out, at the door).

Lee recorded his most recent CD, Phil Lee & The Horse He Rode In On, at Painted Sky Studios, so it seems appropriate that he’d play his album release party there. The album features 12 Lee originals, and he’s enlisted a wide variety of guest accompanists, but the core players are Lee on guitar backed by the Crazy Horse rhythm section. Maybe you’ve heard of them: Ralph Molina (drums) and Billy Talbot (bass). They play with another singer-songwriter named Neil Young.

“They were delightful,” Lee said over smoked chicken tacos at Ruddell’s Smokehouse near the Cayucos pier.

“They had the work ethic of Trojans or people from Minnesota. It only dawns on them from time to time that they’re rock legends. Sometimes you have to remind them because they’ll ask you, ‘Well, what

do you want?’ Do whatever Billy Talbot would do, whatever Ralph Molina would do. Musically we’re on the same level.

We’ve been holding musical instruments for at least 50 years.”

Keyboard king Barry Goldberg (Electric Flag, Steve Miller Band) and guitar slinger Jan King also joined in, as did guitar master Richard Bennett (Neil Diamond, Mark Knopfler), slide guitarist David West, keyboardist Jack Irwin, singers Molly Pasutti and Taryn Engel, and even Jake Berger and Pete Anderson (Dwight Yoakam) add their guitars to one track.

The album opens with the title track from Lee’s first record, 1999’s The Mighty King of Love, which has become one of Lee’s signature songs. “‘Mighty King of Love’—I had to do that one,” Lee said. “It was on the first record, and it was an acoustic version, a little cassette version, and it never sounded right to me. I’d done it in a movie—me and Barry Goldberg did a version for TriStar Pictures.”

The original version was more glibly delivered. But on the new record, Lee sings it like a wounded lover: “You called me the King of Love/ Don’t I wish I were/ I wouldn’t even call myself a gifted amateur/ I am the king of nothing/ I’m mostly skin and bone/ And of all the broken hearts I broke/ I mostly broke my own.”

Lee felt it was the perfect song for Molina and Talbot, with their rock steady rhythm layered with Goldberg’s organ sounds. It’s a heartbreaker.

Lee returns to another previously released track with “Wake Up Crying.”

“Ralph and I had been playing and playing and playing, and it was one that showed off Ralph’s chops,” Lee said. “In all those Neil Young records, I never heard Ralph do a drum solo, and he was great. It

was so cute to see him just about go into a panic knowing it was coming, get this big smile on his face, like ‘wish me luck.’”

The track has a terrific driving jangly sound, and the drums push the song to new heights. The whole record is filled with great new tracks, great playing, and a much fuller sound than Lee—who usually plays solo—is known for. Of course, this isn’t Lee’s first collaboration with a well-known band. On his 2013 album, The Fall & Further Decline of the

Mighty King of Love, Lee worked with members of Wilco.

He found a great engineer in Steve Crimmel, who owns and operates Painted Sky, and they also brought in a coengineer.

“We had a Nashville guy come in helping us record this stuff, Michael Fleming, who’s a genius-level recording guy,” Lee said. “He’s a professor of

Of course, all these luminaries won’t be at Painted Sky next Wednesday, though Lee hopes Molina might make an appearance and sit in on a song or two.

“We’ve got two guys from Spirit, Al and John Staehely, so I’ll open up the show solo, do my 30 or 40 minutes, then Al and John will come up, and then we’ll all three play together at the end,” he said.

“We recorded a little power trio thing at [Painted Sky] when they were in town, with two of my songs, and they do one of mine, ‘A Night in the Box,’ so after we do all the folk stuff, we’ll do the drums and electric guitar and bass. Hopefully I’ll get Ralph to sit in on ‘A Night in the Box.’ So it’s going to be a fun, fun night—very relaxed.”

As we finished off our tacos, I asked Lee if there was anything else people should know about him.

“Well, I’m super cute, a poet, killer in the sack, I have references, I shot Liberty Valance—no, I’m just trying to promote this record, which everybody seems to like a lot,” Lee said. “I wish I could just call it Phil Lee & Crazy Horse, but I sort PHOTO COURTESY OF NOLAN FELDPAUSCH

Come witness the Mighty King of Love in person, who’s a great raconteur: “I want to get people accustomed to expecting equal measures singingsongwriting guy and performance artist,” Lee added, “kind of warning that while there may not be blood, there most certainly will be antics.”

You can also pick up a copy of Phil Lee & The Horse He Rode In On and get it autographed!

And look out for an upcoming Shaky Pictures documentary about Lee: “Not just about me but guys who do that little house concert circuit, guys who aren’t now and never will be rock star guys, but we work,” he said.

Phil Lee is definitely one of a kind—100 percent original!

SLOMA executive director retires after 20 years

The San Luis Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA) announced the retirement of longtime Executive Director Karen M. Kile, effective at the end of May. The museum credits Kile, who served the role for 20 years, with elevating SLOMA’s stature statewide as an arts destination and with overseeing the planning for a landmark building to replace its current facility by Mission Plaza.

“I take pride in being part of the many accomplishments that so many visionary people made possible with their talents, time, and treasure,” Kile said in a press release. “I have every confidence that the museum’s team, including donors, artists, and a supportive community, will continue to pursue the ambitious and exciting vision we created together.”

Kile will be given the honorary title of executive director emeritus after she steps down. Ruta Saliklis, curator and director of exhibitions, will become interim executive director during the search for SLOMA’s next director.

SLO Rep’s Doubt weaves a tangled yarn

T

homas, the apostle who had a hard time believing Jesus rose from the dead, is forever branded in our minds with the slur, “doubting Thomas.” While it’s debatable whether Thomas’ lack of faith was a sin, the notion of doubt is complicated and lacks the ease that absolute certainty brings.

The San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre played with the range of emotions and responses, from total faith in an idea of the truth to utter uncertainty, in its opening night of Doubt: A Parable on March 29.

The Pulitzer Prizeand Tony AwardOn stage winning drama by Doubt: A Parable is John Patrick Shanley on stage at the San Luis (Moonstruck), which Obispo Repertory Theatre focuses on the through April 14. Tickets Catholic Church, range from $20 to $36. comes to the local There will be talk-backs with the director and the stage at a timely cast following the matinee moment, as a grand performances on April 6 and jury report earlier April 13 at approximately this year made 3:30 pm. These Q&A sessions are open to the headlines with the general public; no tickets news that Roman are required.

Catholic leaders in Visit slorep.org for more Pennsylvania covered information. up decades of child sex abuse involving more than 1,000 victims and hundreds of priests.

Even with current events and the long, sordid history of the Catholic Church aside, Doubt: A Parable still wouldn’t be a comfortable play. Instead, it leaves audiences with only questions and conflicting emotions, as they grasp for the truth.

The one-act show has only four actors and takes place mainly in a church and the principal’s office of the adjoining Catholic school. The play is set in the fictional St. Nicholas Church School in the Bronx during the fall of 1964. It opens with a sermon

by Father Flynn (Jeff Salsbury seen in Less Miserable at the Great American Melodrama), a beloved and progressive parish priest, addressing the idea of uncertainty in a new light.

“Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty. When you are lost, you are not alone,” Flynn says.

While his words offer an uplifting spin on an otherwise crippling emotion, things quickly spiral once Father Flynn leaves the pulpit.

After a student behaves strangely in class, the principal of Nicholas Church School, Sister Aloysius (Jody Hovland, directed 39 Steps and Rabbit Hole), shares her suspicions with his teacher, Sister James (Kathryn Curran, in her debut SLO Repertory Theatre performance) that Father Flynn may be having an inappropriate relationship with the boy.

To complicate matters further, the student is the first and only black pupil at the school,

SUSPICIONS When a nun and principal of a Catholic school, Sister Aloysius (Jody Hovland), suspects improper conduct between a priest and a student, she’ll stop at nothing to uncover the truth.

OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH Despite her boss’s concerns, a nun and teacher, Sister James (Kathryn Curran), tangles with her doubts over Father Flynn’s (Jeff Salsbury) alleged wrongdoing.

who’s already ostracized by the other children.

A meeting between Sister Aloysius and the boy’s mother, Mrs. Muller (Noelle McGheeWestbay, Building the Wall), reveals that the boy’s father hits him and, thus, Mrs. Muller is happy he gets any attention from a male figure like Father Flynn.

With director Ron Clark (When the Rain Stops Falling, Rabbit Hole) at the helm, the cast of Doubt: A Parable swiftly navigates the emotional gamut. Salsbury as Flynn hovers between righteous indignation and possible guilt while Hovland as Sister Aloysius is crushingly absolute in her view of the truth and her personal quest to do what’s right for her student. Curran as Sister James

wrestles heavily and excruciatingly with her own doubts and thoughts on the matter, and McGhee-Westbay as Mrs. Muller refuses to see what may very well be happening to her boy in the name of getting him a good education.

Doubt gets a bad reputation, but as Shanley points out in an essay on his play, A Preface to Doubt, A Parable, it also lacks the ease of absolute certainty.

“Doubt requires more courage than conviction does, and more energy,” Shanley writes.

“Because conviction is a resting place and doubt is infinite—it is a passionate exercise.” ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley questions everything.

There are a couple of twists with this version of the story that I don’t want to give away, but they involve Keaton as V.A. Vandevere, the owner of an over-thetop amusement park.

His role in the grand scheme of things is to have Dumbo for his own main circus act with his girlfriend (or trophy wife?), Colette FAILS TO SOAR Unlike Burton’s other films, Dumbo is a (Green).

Holt’s children, Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins), discover little Dumbo can fly, and soon ruthless entrepreneur V. A.

in all his films, a lovable misfit. We’ve seen this protagonist multiple times, but it feels like a new story because we’re so captivated by the worlds that Burton creates. But unlike Burton’s previous otherworldly and surreal masterpieces, Dumbo falls very flat for me. While it’s visually captivating, the story—or maybe the writing—just didn’t cut it for me. I was also very surprised that Burton could make such a sensitive and moving film dreary.

Caleb I think it’s definitely the script’s fault. Vandevere is especially poorly written. His motive for keeping Dumbo away from his mom is so counterproductive to his actual goal, it’s purely plot driven and quite infuriating.

Having said that, hiring one of the screenwriters behind three consecutive Transformers movies to adapt a cartoon about a baby elephant was a bold move.

I’d love to have seen this CGI version of Dumbo take down some Decepticons. But back to the cast, don’t forget about DeVito as Max Medici, the circus’s ringmaster.

I’m a huge Batman fan, so seeing Burton, Keaton, and DeVito reunite for the first time since 1992’s Batman Returns was a consolation prize of sorts. It’s a really mixed bag, but I still feel like it’s worth seeing on the big screen. There’s enough visual majesty to warrant a theater viewing, even with such a thin story. I’ll probably check out the Blu-ray, too, when it comes out, just in case there’s a deleted scene of Dumbo transforming into a Fiat convertible before duking it out with

APOLLO 11 What’s it rated? G What’s it worth? Full price

Where’s it showing? The Palm Todd Douglas Miller (Dinosaur 13) directs this documentary about the historic 1969 mission to land on the moon.

Using archival footage, you’ll witness Cmdr. Neil Armstrong and pilots Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins on their amazing eight-day mission to the moon and back.

I remember as a 7-year-old what a momentous occasion this was, and some of the footage herein was material I saw broadcast live on TV, but what’s really amazing is the restored film footage captured by NASA cameramen. And yeah, they were mostly men … women were few and far between, though we see astronauts’ wives and kids, not to mention lots of bystanders camped out to watch the launch live. For ’60s fashion fans, the film is a cornucopia of mock turtlenecks under V-neck sweaters, floral frocks, and

Pick

crazy hairdos.

The film opens hours before countdown, and we see the astronauts being fitted in their suits, technicians working on a leaking valve, and monitors lined with men—and a couple women—keeping track of the various systems. Putting a man on the moon was a monumental undertaking, which First Man (2018), starring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong, did a terrific job of fictionalizing. In Apollo 11, we’re watching the real thing, and it’s just as gripping.

Director Miller allows the archival footage and newscaster narration to tell the story, but when the voiceover alludes to the psychological baggage each astronaut takes into a dangerous space mission with him, we see photos and home movies of their families and test flights that led up to penetrating space—all that

Megatron and Starscream. Move over Optimus Prime, there’s an elephant in the room, and his name is Dumbo.

Karen I think there are too many side stories that might fly over a child’s head when they see this movie. First and foremost, you have essentially a little boy ridiculed for looking different (a baby elephant with gigantic ears) and separated from his mother. Then there are the two kids who are dealing with the loss of their mother and a father who came back from war after losing a limb and who isn’t the best communicator.

Throw in a failing circus and a money mogul, and it’s a lot to keep up with, and none of it is cohesive. There’s even a small role for Alan Arkin, who, if I’m going to be honest, acts like he wandered into the story and went with it. But then again, when I rewatch movies I enjoyed as a child, I notice a lot of things as an adult, so maybe this is one of those movies for kids. As spectacular as this film may seem and is—again, only visually—I attribute that to longtime Burton collaborator Colleen Atwood, who worked on the costume design for the film. I think almost everyone has a huge TV screen at home, so if you wait for the DVD to come out, I don’t think you’re missing much if you skip seeing it in theaters. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia and Calendar Editor Caleb Wiseblood wrote Split Screen this week.

The documentary reminds viewers that the Vietnam War was raging and the Chappaquiddick incident occurred during the mission—two things competing for news time in an era of three networks.

We were in the midst of the Cold War, and there’s no overstating the sense of pride that flooded the nation. The display of elation from both the NASA workers and the throngs of onlookers, for instance a J.C. Penney parking lot full of campers watching the launch and touchdown, is astounding. It’s also fun to see some of the celebrities who attended the launch, such as Johnny Carson and George C. Scott.

President Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger are both on the U.S.S. Hornet when the astronauts are recovered from the ocean. It was a big deal, and Apollo 11 delivers a gripping chronicle of this

incredible American achievement.

It’s rated G, but I should warn parents that young children may find the film boring. We had a loud 4-year-old behind us who wouldn’t be quiet and thought the best part of the film was anytime there was a countdown so he could show off his counting skills. I know you want your kids to see this, and they should, but wait for the DVD and show it to them at home when you can answer their questions without having to annoy an entire theater. This is too good to be distracted from. (93 min.)

THE BEACH BUM What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Stream it Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy

Writer-director Harmony Korine (Spring Breakers) helms this middling comedy about Moondog (Matthew McConaughey), a stoner and writer who marches to the beat of his own drummer. The film also stars Snoop Dogg, Isla Fisher, Zac Efron, and Jonah Hill.

Though director Korine has a singular style, it can’t overcome the disjointed story and humor that relies more on shock value. Plus, its story of unearned success becomes tedious and borderline infuriating.

On the other hand, this is McConaughey’s most typecast role ever as a washed-up stoner, who keeps succeeding in spite of himself. (95 min.)

In 1995, former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) becomes the superhero Captain Marvel, joining an intergalactic cohort called Starforce before returning home to discover Earth is caught in a war between two alien species.

The plot is a bit more complicated than what’s above. The story opens when Vers, as Carol is known in the Kree capital planet of Hala, is training to become a Kree warrior. Her problem, as her training partner and team leader Yon-Rogg (Jude Law) tells her, is she can’t control her emotions when she’s in battle. Vers is a bit of hot mess. Women, right?

She suffers from nightmares involving another woman (Annette Bening), and she doesn’t remember her past. Much of the film moves back and forth in time as Carol slowly pieces together her life before she became a Kree fighter and member

of Starforce, which is at war with the Skrulls, shape-shifting aliens who can disguise themselves as anyone they come in contact with.

I don’t want to give too much of the inventive plot away. Part of the film’s fun is that viewers are as much in the dark about Carol’s past and what’s happening between the Kree and the Skrulls as she is.

Overall, it’s an entertaining origin story of Captain Marvel as well as a rousing feminist saga as Carol discovers who she is and what she’s capable of.

With lots of great action sequences, solid special effects, and a classic tee-up for future sequels, Captain Marvel manages to entertain and inspire without resorting to didactic lecture, but viewers will certainly be reminded of the old adage, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” (124 min.)

Divorcée Gloria’s days are filled at a straight-lace, boring office, but at night, she’s out on the dance floor.

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Writer-director Jordan Peele (Get Out) helms this new horror thriller about a family—father Gabe Wilson (Winston Duke), mother Adelaide (Lupita Nyong’o), daughter Zora (Shahadi Wright Joseph), and son Jason (Evan Alex)— terrorized by evil doppelgängers.

On the surface, this is an effective psychological horror thriller, but look a little deeper and Peele has again made an astute sociopolitical commentary on America’s haves and the have-nots. More on that later.

This is also an homage to the mid-’80s. The film opens with a commercial for Hands Across America, an actual fundraising effort in 1986 that raised money for homelessness by enlisting 6 million people to join hands across the continental United States. As the camera slowly moves closer to the tube TV screen, we see on a nearby shelf a VHS copy of C.H.U.D., the 1984 B-movie horror film about New Yorkers being snatched by something living in the tunnel system. It’d subtle foreshadowing for what’s to come and the bottom-dwelling “tethered,” as the doppelgängers are called.

Watching the TV is young Adelaide (Madison Curry), who we later see at the Santa Cruz boardwalk with her squabbling parents. She wanders off to the beach and then into a mirrored funhouse, where she encounters her doppelgänger. Traumatized, she’s unable to speak.

Flash forward to the present, and Adelaide, now married with two kids, is traveling with her family to their Santa Cruz vacation home, where they’ll meet their somewhat richer friends the Tylers: mother Kitty (Elizabeth Moss), father Josh (Tim Heidecker), and twin girls Becca and Lindsey (Cali and Noelle Sheldon).

Long story short, they’re to meet at the beach, but Adelaide, recalling the trauma of her youth, is apprehensive. She reluctantly goes, and once there, her son Jason wanders off.

She freaks out, and after he’s found and they return to their vacation home, Adelaide confesses to her husband what happened to her as a child.

He’s incredulous … until the family’s doppelgängers show up outside the house, all dressed in prison-like red jumpsuits and wielding golden scissors. They stand silent, holding hands (across America?) and staring at the house before the action

MOVIES from page 42 starts and they invade the Wilsons’ house.

There’s lots of creep factor, mildly gory but un-gratuitous violence, and unrelenting tension. What are you people, the doppelgängers are asked? “We’re Americans,” Adelaide’s double, Red, replies in a croaking voice. Though not truly terrifying, the film works as a horror thriller, but it’s got more important things on its mind than simply shocking viewers.

The U.S.’s duality, divisive politics, income disparities, and dichotomous class, race, and gender dynamics are addressed here through the analogy between the surface dwelling haves and the below dwelling have-nots. It’s a bit of a call back to the “sunken place” from Get Out. When the attacks start, we see bodies littering the streets as their “others” come to claim their doubles’ place in the prosperous above ground world. What’s interesting is that the Wilsons are up to the challenge and give as good as they get, battling their doubles with ferocity. At one point as they’re escaping from their friends’ vacation house, they argue over who should get to drive based on how many kills they’ve made.

It’s wry, dark humor, but the larger point is that Adelaide, Gabe, Zora, and Jason are capable of violence. In other words, they’re just like their doubles except they were born into prosperity while their doubles weren’t.

The ending—which I don’t want to ruin for you—drives that point home again. The Wilsons are no better than their doubles; they’re just luckier for their opportunities. Remember Childish Gambino’s surprisingly deep video for “This Is America”? Peele’s new film delivers the same sort of humorlaced gut punch.

We’re in a bit of a renaissance when it comes to art depicting American race and class inequities. From Get Out to Spike Lee’s amazing BlacKkKlansman, we’re seeing a calling out of American’s original sin, which continues to haunt and demand a reckoning.

“They’re us,” the Wilsons say about their own tormentors.

They are, indeed. (116 min.)

I instantly regretted my decision about a mile before the preserve’s entrance.

Cars parked bumper to bumper on both sides of the narrow two-lane road. People hopping around on private property, selfie sticks in hand. Frolicking in the glory of social media super bloom heaven, they crush the flowers that already proliferated the roadside in perfect poses of an afternoon spent exploring peak poppy production. They didn’t even need to go to the preserve!

Still, I press on, joining the herd of humans hungering for some orange-covered hillsides.

ORANGE GLOW The Antelope Valley Poppy Preserve’s 8 miles of trails loop over and around hillsides swathed in poppies from vista point to vista point—you’re surrounded by people and flowers.

Feeling claustrophobic, I move a little faster as I stare at the hillside pathways before me swarming with little ant-sized humans. Maybe on the other side of these hills, I think, there is a less crowded space.

Past the crest of a hill, down on the other side is a relatively empty pathway. Goldfields and poppies absorb the sun, glowing in the afternoon light. Like an abstract painting, they coat green hills in dollops of color. I know it’s all been said before, but it’s true.

The trail meanders around the backside of the preserve, a space where the magnitude of flowers is visible beyond the preserve’s borders. It is magnificent and peaceful, plodding along with nothing but dust and color in my sights. Coming

soft-hued planter full of pale graygreens and purple flowers waits just through the gate of the Garden of the Seven Sisters off Sierra Way. Those winter colors will soon be replaced by flora made just for spring. This “curbside garden” is the first of 15 demonstration plots manned by Master Gardener Program volunteers at the UC Cooperative Extension in San Luis Obispo.

Farther along the two-thirds of an acre parcel, apple and pear trees are pruned to grow along the fence, succulents and drought-tolerant plants populate the center, and an orchard of stone fruit bears flowers waiting for pollination. Six planters full of winter veggies are being showered with water from a hose.

The kitchen garden plot is what brought me here today. An array of cold season edibles wait to be plucked from soft, nutrient rich soil. Radish starts bask in the mid-morning sun. Bright rainbow chard and purple kale, lush heads of lettuce, and turnip tops showing through recently wetted dirt are making me wish I had gotten my act together this winter.

There’s no better feeling than lazily traipsing out to your own garden to pluck vegetables for a fresh garden-totable meal you’re preparing in your own kitchen. I also hate going to the grocery

volunteer for either program or both programs, or you can dabble with a class here or there.

Master Gardener Program Coordinator Maria Murrieta said if you’re just starting out, it’s best to begin small with transplants (not seeds). She recommends lettuces and chards because they get leafy and showy, something that can be satisfying for new gardeners. But even if you’re an ambitious and seasoned gardener, pests can ruin a good crop—so Murrieta said it’s also good to know where you can go for help.

“One of the best things they can do is know what resources are available— whether it’s talking to the people at local nurseries or calling the helpline,” Murrieta said. “It’s good to know what your resources are because there’s just a ton of information out there, and if you just start Googling it, that information is not always going to be reliable.”

The program has helplines in Templeton, Arroyo Grande, and San Luis Obispo that are staffed by certified Master Gardeners who live in those specific areas of the county. Although volunteers aren’t always in the office, they check messages and emails and are quick with responses. She said about 105 volunteers are on the job, helping out in the demonstration garden, being a resource for garden-weary residents, and teaching classes.

“They can commiserate, they can help out with advice, they know what grows there and what doesn’t,” Murrieta said.

“It’s what they like to do, and they get to talk to their people about it.”

They also harvest the edible products from the demonstration garden. For edible nibbles, the gardeners tend the kitchen garden, a dry farming plot, a fruit and nut orchard, and a vertical

edible garden. In collaboration with Glean SLO and the Food Bank of San Luis Obispo County, the fruits and veggies are harvested and donated to the food bank. Murrieta said that sometimes the Master Food Preservers also use some of the products, should they fall in line with their workshops.

The two programs are working together right now on finding a good pickling cucumber. Master Food Preserver Program Coordinator Dayna Ravalin said that it’s hard to find the right kind of cucumbers for brining and pickling locally. So a Master Gardener found some pickling cucumber seeds in a seed catalog and is going to see how they do this year.

The Master Food Preserver Program is a separate and newer entity for the extension—it became a statewide UC supported program in 2013. Locally, the SLO County UC Cooperative Extension preserver program covers both Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties (Santa Barbara County has its own Master Gardener Program) with a small cohort of 27 volunteers.

Preservers work with the Food Bank of San Luis Obispo County, as well, to talk about food safety with the individuals who are receiving produce from the food bank, Ravalin said. Volunteers demonstrate basic food preservation that is easy to do at home and doesn’t require any fancy ingredients or special equipment.

“We’re really just trying to help them maximize the life of their produce,” Ravalin said. “They receive at times quite a bit, and this way we can help them extend the safe production of that produce down the road.”

Flavor FLAVOR from page 46

the proper ways to trim and care for produce, how to dry and freeze it, and also how to make things like refrigerator pickles: “It’s just taking their produce and making a brine and putting it in their refrigerator,” she said.

Volunteer Master Food Preservers operate in a similar way to the Master Gardeners, teaching classes, doing demonstrations, and manning the helpline. They teach classes on boiling water canning, pressure canning, fermentation, drying and dehydration, and even soft cheese and butter making.

Ravalin said that the most important thing to do if someone wants to venture into canning is read about safe canning techniques. Eating unsafely canned food can do a lot of damage and even be fatal.

“We don’t recommend that people just kind of dive into making things like jam without doing some preliminary reading,” Ravalin said. “One, it might not be safe, but two, it might not yield the most delicious product. ... Unfortunately we don’t have moms and grandmas teaching us to do this anymore, so we have to go to the book or a class.” ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham has a mom who does it all and gives advice freely.

NEWS NIBBLES BUY LOCAL Bulk shopping: The SLO Natural Foods Co-op encourages shoppers to buy in bulk to save the planet—well, to help at least—in honor of Earth Day (April 22). The co-op is bulk food heaven: spices, flour, pasta, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, granola, beans, rice, honey, peanut butter, coffee, sugar—the list goes on! Bring your reusable containers into the community market for a chance to win prizes and up to $250 in gift certificates, or bring your mug for a free cup of coffee and 10 percent off bulk items from April 5 through 7 (members only). The co-op is offering new members who sign up a free Contigo spill-proof mug (until they run out) and will also be at the Earth Day event hosted at Laguna Lake Park in SLO on April 27 (the co-op is located at 2494 Victoria Ave., SLO) ... Find more than 70 different types of tomato plants at Cal Poly’s annual Tomato Spectacular Plant Sale, April 6 and 7 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Horticulture Unit near the Poly Plant Shop (building 48 on Via Carta Road off Highland Drive). Plants are $7 each with a discount given for five or more. Unique cultivars such as Kellogg’s breakfast, homestead, and nature’s bites will be available during the student-run project, a hands-on course offered through the Cal Poly College of Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Sciences (for more information, follow Cal Poly Tomato Spectacular on Facebook and Instagram) ... On April 3, the California Strawberry Commission and the Cal Poly Strawberry Center hosted the second Strawberry Automation Summit at Cal Poly’s Performing Arts Center. The summit showcased the latest advances in production automation, highlighting on-farm robotics and integration of digital technology in strawberry production agriculture. The commission recently

committed $5 million to the university over five years to establish and grow the Strawberry Center and support research addressing critical issues to the industry.

LITTLE BITES Drool-worthy: San Luis Obispo got itself a new tapas restaurant. Branzino’s menu includes traditional Spanish small plates such as gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp), pulpo a la Gallega (Galician style octopus), and patatas bravas (spicy potatoes). And the menu also includes things like truffle mushroom croquettes, hamachi, and a raw bar with oysters. Chef Carlos Lool has a passion for traditional Mediterranean dishes re-imagined through the California lens (1122 Chorro St., visit branzino.fish for more information) ... Luna Red is expanding its weekly late-night offerings with the aptly titled Luna Noche. It will run from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. every Friday and Saturday, and there will be a DJ and dancing. The new weekend night party will kick off on April 5 at 10 p.m. Guests who RSVP will get a voucher for a $2 glass of cava (to RSVP, visit lunaredslo.com; Luna Red is located in downtown SLO at 1023 Chorro St.) ... The Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival is becoming the Central Coast Reserve at Atascadero.

The rebrand was made as the festival welcomes wineries, breweries, ciders, spirits, arts, and increased local business participation. Reserve is promoting a three-day lineup of events starting on June 21. It will continue to take place at Atascadero Lake Park with a portion of the proceeds going toward the Charles Paddock Zoo (for more information, visit atascaderowinefestival.com). ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham is always down for tapas.

D INE ’N’ DISH Rosé season

Spring is finally here. There is rain in the forecast, but it’s more of a sprinkle than a downpour. As the sun heats up your world, it’s kind of the perfect weather for a nice glass of chilled rosé. Chamisal Vineyards’ Edna Valley rosé is just the ticket! On a recent birthday-themed Edna Valley wine tasting excursion, Chamisal was our first stop—so you know that what I tasted and liked wasn’t coated in winedrunk yet! Several of us left with a bottle of the rosé, which is aged in stainless steel tanks and imbued with the clay soil that Edna Valley is famed for. It’s clean, bright, and dry (thank goodness) with a creamy mouthfeel—and it goes perfectly with scallops and shrimp. At least, it did go perfectly with scallops and shrimp, homemade pasta with alfredo sauce, and roasted asparagus and tomatoes on a recent weekend. Yeah. My friends and I don’t mess around with our weekend meals. I’d say you might not be able to make a meal that this rosé doesn’t go with. Also, it’s probably fine to just sit out in the sun and drink it—no food required!

Chamisal Edna Valley rosé, $28, available in the tasting room at 7525 Orcutt Road in San Luis Obispo. ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham always drinks the wine before dinner is ready. Send comments to clanham@newtimesslo.com.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Name a beautiful thing you were never capable of doing until now. Freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): A mushroom shaped like a horse’s hoof grows on birch trees in parts of Europe and the U.S. If you strip off its outer layer, you get amadou, spongy stuff that’s great for igniting fires. It’s not used much anymore, but it was a crucial resource for some of our ancestors. As for the word “amadou,” it’s derived from an old French term that means “tinder, kindling, spunk.” The same word was formerly used to refer to a person who is quick to light up or to something that stimulates liveliness. In accordance with astrological omens, I’m making “Amadou” your nickname for the next four weeks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them,” wrote novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez. “Life obliges them over and over to give birth to themselves.” Here’s what I’ll add to that: As you mature, you do your best to give birth to ever-new selves that are in alignment with the idealistic visions you have of the person you want to become. Unfortunately, most of us aren’t skilled at that task in adolescence and early adulthood, and so the selves we create may be inadequate or delusory or distorted. Fortunately, as we learn from our mistakes, we eventually learn to give birth to selves that are strong and righteous. The only problem is that the old false selves we generated along the way may persist as ghostly echoes in our psyche. And we have a sacred duty to banish those ghostly echoes. I tell you this, Taurus, because the coming months will be an excellent time to do that banishing. Ramp up your efforts NOW!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “When spring came, there were no problems except where to be happiest,” wrote Ernest Hemingway in his memoir. He quickly amended that statement, though, mourning, “The only thing that could spoil a day was people.” Then he ventured even further, testifying, “People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.” I bring these thoughts to your attention so as to prepare you for some good news. In the next three weeks, I suspect you will far exceed your quota for encounters with people who are not “limiters of happiness”—who are as good as spring itself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s time to prove that Cancerians have more to offer than nurturing, empathizing, softening the edges, feeling deeply, getting comfortable, and being creative. Not that there’s anything wrong with those talents. On the contrary! They’re beautiful and necessary.

It’s just that for now you need to avoid being pigeonholed as a gentle, sensitive soul. To gather the goodies that are potentially available to you, you’ll have to be more forthright and aggressive than usual. Is it possible for you to wield a commanding presence? Can you add a big dose of willfulness and a pinch of ferocity to your selfpresentation? Yes and yes!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): General Motors manufactured a car called the Pontiac Aztek from 2001 to 2005. It wasn’t commercially successful. One critic said it looked like “an angry kitchen appliance,” and many others agreed it was exceptionally unstylish. But later the Aztek had an odd revival because of the popularity of the TV show Breaking Bad. The show’s protagonist, Walter White, owned one, and that motivated some of his fans to emulate his taste in cars. In accordance with astrological omens, Leo, I suspect that something of yours may also enjoy a second life sometime soon. An offering that didn’t get much appreciation the first time around may undergo a resurgence. Help it do so.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Of all the female sins, hunger is the least forgivable,” laments feminist author Laurie Penny. She’s referring to the hunger “for anything, for food, sex, power, education, even love.” She continues: “If we have desires, we are expected to conceal them, to control them, to keep

ourselves in check. We are supposed to be objects of desire, not desiring beings.” I’ve quoted her because I suspect it’s crucial for you to not suppress or hide your longings in the coming weeks. That’s triply true if you’re a woman, but also important if you’re a man or some other gender. You have a potential to heal deeply if you get very clear about what you hunger for and then express it frankly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Only one of Nana Mouskouris’s vocal cords works, but over the course of an almost 60-year career, the Libran singer has sold more than 30 million records in 12 different languages. Many critics speculate that her apparent disadvantage is key to her unique style. She’s a coloratura mezzo, a rare category of chanteuse who sings ornate passages with exceptional agility and purity. In the coming weeks, I suspect that you will be like Mouskouris in your ability to capitalize on a seeming lack or deprivation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your tribe is symbolized by three animals: the scorpion, the eagle, and the mythological phoenix. Some astrologers say that the scorpion is the ruling creature of “unevolved” or immature Scorpios, whereas the eagle and phoenix are associated with those of your tribe who express the riper, more enlightened qualities of your sign. But I want to put in a plug for the scorpion as being worthy of all Scorpios. It is a hardy critter that rivals the cockroach in its ability to survive—and even thrive in—less than ideal conditions. For the next two weeks, I propose we make it your spirit creature.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian novelist Gustave Flaubert declared that it’s “our duty is to feel what is sublime and cherish what is beautiful.” But that’s a demanding task to pull off on an ongoing basis. Maybe the best we can hope for is to feel what’s sublime and cherish what’s beautiful for 30 to 35 days every year. Having said that, though, I’m happy to tell you that in 2019 you could get all the way up to 95 to 100 days of feeling what’s sublime and cherishing what’s beautiful. And as many as 15 to 17 of those days could come during the next 21.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sommeliers are people trained to perceive the nuances of wine. By sampling a few sips, the best sommeliers can discern facts about the type of grapes that were used to make the wine and where on earth they were grown. I think that in the coming weeks you Capricorns should launch an effort to reach a comparable level of sensitivity and perceptivity about any subject you care about.

It’s a favorable time to become even more masterful about your specialties; to dive deeper into the areas of knowledge that captivate your imagination.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Every language is a work in progress.

New words constantly insinuate themselves into common usage, while others fade away. If you traveled back in time to 1719 while remaining in your current location, you’d have trouble communicating with people of that era. And today linguistic evolution is even more rapid than in previous ages.

The Oxford English Dictionary adds more than 1,000 new words annually. In recognition of the extra verbal skill and inventiveness you now posses, Aquarius, I invite you to coin a slew of your own fresh terms. To get you warmed up, try this utterance I coined: vorizzimo! It’s an exclamation that means “thrillingly beautiful and true.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): One of history’s most audacious con men was George C. Parker, a Pisces. He made his living selling property that did not legally belong to him, like the Brooklyn Bridge, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Statue of Liberty. I suspect you could summon his level of salesmanship and persuasive skills in the coming weeks. But I hope you will use your nearly magical powers to make deals and perform feats that have maximum integrity. It’s OK to be a teensy bit greedy, though. ∆
