AG mayor can’t vote on Brisco Road project, FPPC says

A

he plans to honor.

“I’ll be recusing myself from any future votes on Brisco,” Hill said.

The Brisco Road interchange project dates back to the 1990s, when the city began looking for ways to address traffic and safety concerns with the on-ramps and off-ramps at Brisco Road.

After years of wrangling with the California Department of Transportation, the council is getting closer to choosing between three different options to address the interchange, which could cost between $14 million and $23 million, according to initial FILE PHOTO BY CHRIS MCGUINNESS estimates.

According to the commission’s letter, Hill lives approximately 2,600 feet from the current Brisco Road on- and offramps, and close to the sites where the ramps might be relocated under two of the project’s three options. According to state regulations, a decision that involves construction or improvements to streets surrounding an elected official’s real property that result in a disproportionate benefit or detriment to that official would be a conflict NO VOTE After seeking the advice from the state’s Fair Political of interest. According Practices Commission, Arroyo Grande Mayor Jim Hill will recuse himself to the letter, options to from future votes on the Brisco Road interchange project. relocate the ramps would

result in Hill benefiting from reduced traffic or experiencing the detrimental impacts of more congested traffic near his home.

“The [regulation] prohibits you from taking part in those decisions because they would have a reasonably foreseeable material financial effect on your real property interest in your residence,” the letter stated.

The FPPC’s response comes after Hill has previously voted and discussed the Brisco Road project. That incudes a November 2016 vote against reopening the Brisco Road ramps after they were closed for more than a year for a traffic study. Former City Councilmember Jim Guthrie told New Times that he’d previously suggested that Hill seek the FPPC’s advice on the matter.

“For a while he’s been told he should get this checked out,” Guthrie said.

Hill said that his previous votes on the project were for “temporary” measures such as closing the ramps rather than more permanent modifications to interchange.

“Permanent decisions are going to be happening in the relatively near term, the next few months, and I wanted to make sure I had the opinion in time for that,” Hill said.

When the time comes to vote on that permanent fix, Hill expressed confidence that the other members of the council were up to the task.

“I’m only one resident and many people in the community have different opinions on Brisco, and the council will take those under advisement.” He said.

Atascadero voters to decide on mayoral term length, again

spoke at length about his 16-year tenure on the City Council and some of the city’s divisive political history.

“I’ve served under a bad mayor,” O’Malley said. “It’s devastating in the community. It’s very important who you elect. There is a recall process. ... There is a built-in counter to that issue as well.”

O’Malley and Moreno added they believed voters chose a two-year mayoral term in 2010 in part due to the high level of acrimony and instability on the City Council at the time.

“We went through one of the worst periods of our city’s history,” O’Malley said. “I think that was a little fresh on people’s mind.”

If the measure passes, Atascadero would join Paso Robles as the only two cities in SLO County with four-year mayoral terms.

—Peter Johnson

s the Arroyo Grande City Council gets closer to finally choosing just how to move forward with a multi-million dollar highway interchange project, they’ll have to make their decision without Mayor Jim Hill.

In a June 19 letter, the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) said Hill needed to recuse himself from voting on the city’s planned project for Highway 101’s Brisco Road interchange because he lives too close to the location. Hill said he asked the FPPC to review the situation and make a ruling, which

The Atascadero City Council voted 4-0 on June 26 to add a measure on the November ballot that, if adopted, will extend the mayor’s term from two to four years.

Council members argued that a four-year mayoral term would allow for more continuity on the City Council and avoid laborious and sometimes divisive campaigns every two years.

“You really don’t want to have a major change every couple of years,” Mayor Tom O’Malley said.

In 2010, city residents voted to abandon a City Council rotation method for mayor and instead elect the mayor separately for two-year terms.

O’Malley won the city’s first mayoral election in 2012 and is currently serving his third term.

O’Malley announced he’s not seeking re-election this year, while City Councilmember Heather Moreno announced her run to be Atascadero’s second elected mayor. All current council members agreed that a four-year mayor was preferable to a two-year mayor.

“Running campaigns is not fun. Let’s focus on the city work and not on politics,” said Councilmember Brian Sturtevant.

Susan Funk, a candidate for the City Council, spoke against the measure during public comment, calling it “premature” since voters selected the two-year term over the four-year term in 2010.

“What a two-year term does is honor the voters’ preference expressed last time to keep the mayor on a little closer leash,” Funk said.

O’Malley acknowledged a downside to the four-year term in the case of “a bad mayor.” He

Allred. Allred, 25, is accused of killing Fox while driving drunk and is charged with multiple felonies including vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and driving under the influence.

During a pre-trial hearing June 26, Deputy District Attorney Chase Martin asked Van Rooyen to allow him to show three photos of Fox taken after the crash, both before and after she was pulled out of her vehicle.

“These three photos are instructive of the severity of the collision itself,” Martin said.

Allred was involved in a head-on collision with Fox east of Santa Margarita on Highway 58 on the evening of April 30, 2016. During the hearing, Martin indicated he would argue that Allred was intoxicated and distracted when she crossed a solid double yellow line “at the most dangerous part of the road,” hitting Fox’s vehicle. Allred pleaded not guilty to the charges against her in October 2017.

Allred’s defense attorney, Patrick Fisher, argued that the graphic photos would unfairly bias the jury against his client, and asked that Van Rooyen not allow them into evidence, instead allowing jurors to see photos of the crash scene without Fox. “I think that would be sufficient to accomplish what [Martin] hopes to accomplish … without showing bodies,” Fisher said.

Van Rooyen allowed two of the three photos to be shown to jurors during the trial as long as Martin could lay the proper foundation to introduce them as evidence. Van Rooyen excluded one photo, a close-up of Fox’s, face calling it “particularly disturbing and gruesome.”

“There’s less of a chance of prejudice resulting from [the other two photos],” he said.

Martin also asked to show a photo of Fox before the accident during his closing arguments. While Fisher was against showing one particular photograph of Fox holding one of her grandchildren, he and Martin agreed to confer and choose a picture of a living Fox that both sides could agree on.

Jury selection for Allred’s trial began June 26, with opening arguments slated for June 27. The trial is expected to last up to two weeks.

Majority of SLO City Council signs anti-oil letter to governor

Four SLO City Council members joined a coalition of local elected officials in California on June 26 by co-signing a letter to Gov. Jerry Brown asking him to halt the expansion of oil and gas development in the state and create a plan to phase out the entire fossil fuels industry.

“This is the bold climate leadership we urgently need to protect our public health, communities, economies, and our future,” the letter, signed by dozens of city council members, county supervisors, and school board members, reads. “We can no longer ignore the true costs of oil and gas production. The disastrous impacts of fossil fuel use, including air pollution, droughts, fires, mudslides, storms, and sea level rise, already cost Californians more than 12,000 lives and 100 billion dollars annually.”

VIEWER DISCRETION

by Jayson Mellom

The letter parallels a statewide initiative led by environmental groups, “Brown’s Last Chance,” that makes the same demands of the lame duck governor ahead of the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco this fall. In addition to a moratorium on new oil and gas drilling and a plan to get to 100 percent renewable energy, the initiative asks Brown to set a 2,500-foot buffer zone around oil wells away from homes, schools, and parks.

Man accused of threatening Women’s March SLO seeks dismissal

A defense attorney representing a local landscaper accused of threatening to kill members of Women’s March SLO on Facebook last year is asking that the case be dismissed.

In a written request filed on May 17 in SLO County Superior Court, lawyer Jeremy Cutcher argued that his client, Daniel Joshua Phares, was incapable of carrying out a specified threat, instead characterizing Phares’ alleged post as a “ranting soliloquy” made in anger and later deleted.

Phares is accused of leaving a threating message on a Facebook event page for “Outshine the Darkness,” an anti-racism rally held in the wake of the deadly riots in Charlottesville, Virginia, co-organized

According to a police report, Phares allegedly posted a comment stating “I (sic) will kill every one of you and make you like it.” Organizers from Women’s March SLO saw the comment and reported it to police.

Cutcher argued that post didn’t meet

the criteria of a criminal threat, in part, because it was made to a public Facebook page and was not addressed to any specific individuals. He wrote that the alleged threat also gave no specific date or time in which it might be carried out, and noted that Phares had no way of knowing who read his comment and had no known relationship with the individual Women’s March SLO organizers named as victims in the criminal complaint filed against him.

“There is no evidence that Mr. Phares knew the names, faces of, addresses, or any other personal identifiable information of anyone associated with the Women’s March of SLO,” Cutcher wrote.

Cutcher also argued that Phares lacked intent to communicate a true threat.

Phares reportedly told detectives that he made the comment out of “frustration and anger towards ‘racists’.”

“You get annoyed and you post something and you’re like, ‘Man, I shouldn’t have posted that’,” Phares allegedly told detectives. “That’s why I deleted it actually.”

Cutcher wrote that Phares told police that he never intended to harm anyone, and characterized his client’s Facebook post as an “angry utterance/ranting soliloquy” made in frustration.

“Rather, the posting simply represented an angry, rash, and ill-advised response in an impassioned political context,” Cutcher wrote.

A judge is scheduled to hear the motion to dismiss the case July 3, and Phares’ trial is slated to begin Sept. 24. ∆ —Chris McGuinness

Cannabis nuisance Abating all the pot cultivation and abandoned grows in the California Valley is going to take a while

G

arbage trucks in the California Valley have picked up almost two tons more trash on their routes since San Luis Obispo County got serious about clearing out illegal cannabis growing operations.

That’s over the last couple of weeks, according to Carrie York, the California Valley Community Services District’s general manager. The district handles road maintenance and trash for the antiquated subdivision laid out along Soda Lake Road on the southeastern edge of the county.

“They really started to come down on the growers. My guys are complaining, ‘Oh my god! They’re [growers] just dumping [trash] from all over.’ They are bringing it to the hotel and dumping it right there,” York said, referencing the small motel on Soda Lake Road. “There’s not a way to police what’s going on. …

There’s just water trucks and growers and they move around at night after we are sleeping.”

On June 21, SLO County Planning and Building and the Sheriff’s Office served six abatement warrants on California Valley properties, shredding 2,600 cannabis plants (about 2.63 tons) on site and trucking the remains to the closest landfill under law enforcement escort, according to Art Trinidade, the county’s code enforcement supervisor.

The action is just the beginning of the county’s plan to address the hundreds of cannabis grows in the California Valley, which became such an issue starting in 2016 that the SLO County Board of Supervisors eventually banned cultivation in the subdivision through an urgency ordinance. Trinidade estimates that about 200 cannabis grows are operating illegally or abandoned in the valley.

“From start to finish, it’s taken us two years to get to this point,” Trinidade said.

“It’s easy math to say this is not going to be an easy process.”

Each has to go through a cannabis abatement hearing, which the county designed to speed up the normal nuisance abatement process. Trinidade said they took a months-long process and shrunk it down to about 10 to 14 days. At two hearings per month of five to six cannabis grows a piece, it’s going to take a while to get through the list of alleged illegal cultivators. Although the county passed its marijuana ordinance in November

2017, which outlaws cultivation in certain areas of the county, it didn’t hold its first round of hearings until May. Trinidade said that his department has yet to total up the costs for abatement, but cleanup of materials such as fencing could cost a couple of thousand dollars while abating the actual cannabis could run up to several thousand. Although taxpayers are footing that bill for now, eventually the property owner or cannabis grower will get the bill.

“We’re hoping that once they see the billing from the county, they will realize it’s just cheaper to do it themselves,” Trinidade said. “We’re actually calling it a California Valley restoration and here’s why: We have at least four animals out there that are listed as endangered species.”

The county has to coordinate with agencies like the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure that in the abatement process, workers don’t do any more harm to the habitat than has already been done.

“It’s a complicated, paperwork-filled, biologically sensitive area,” he said.

“We’re trying to do the best we can.”

To help with that process, the board approved temporary help for code enforcement in the recent budget—960 hours for a year, Trinidade said, adding that he’s taken as many resources as code enforcement can bear and moved them over the California Valley project.

Stepping up enforcement is welcome relief to some residents of the California Valley, who have wondered what took the county so long to start taking action.

County Supervisor Debbie Arnold (5th District) said she used to get a lot of calls from constituents wondering why they had heard that the county passed an urgency ordinance but couldn’t see its results. It seemed like grows just continued to proliferate, she said, regardless of the ban.

“The reality was it was hard to enforce. … With this administrative hearing process, I think that is going to be the key to really enforcing the ordinances that are in place,” Arnold said. “People out there that wanted to see the county out there enforcing the ordinance, they’ve been waiting a long time.” ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham can be reached at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

TARGETED SLO County started cannabis abatement hearings for alleged illegal growing operations in May. Although there are cases across the county, the California Valley has the largest number: approximately 100 active grows and 109 abandoned cultivation sites, according to a county staff report.

Water at risk Salinas River erosion jeopardizes Paso Robles city wellfield

P

erspiring in the sweltering North County heat, Paso Robles Water Resources Manager Chris Alakel tromps down the middle of the parched Salinas River on June 22 until he comes to a halt at a point along its western bank.

“The way the water comes by here is different now,” Alakel says, surveying the stretch of bank that Mother Nature has molded into a 20-foot-tall sheer wall of soft river sediment. “It’s running directly at the banks ... Before, the energy wasn’t directed at the bank; it was flowing along the bank. It’s a straight shot now.”

Alakel then turns his gaze upward to the top of the cliff: Just a few feet from the edge is a barbed-wire fence. Inside that fence, five Paso Robles city wells are humming and pumping the water below the river’s surface. At 1.5 billion gallons per year, the wells produce half of all Paso Robles’ water—piped from this site near Firestone Brewery (called the Thunderbird Wellfield) to city homes and businesses.

Now, the precipitous erosion of the riverbank is threatening to damage or even destroy the operation.

“One more rain and we lose a well,” Alakel says.

Officials noticed the erosion start to accelerate in 2011. Episodes of rain ripped more and more material off the bank, which in turn only invited more of the river’s energy with a more forceful impact.

After receding as much as 70 feet in six years, the bank lost 30 feet during the rains in March of this year, according to the city.

“Rivers gradually change over time,” said Dick McKinley, Paso’s public works director. “It had been doing it a little bit, but nothing really alarming until this round of storms. We lost a large, large chunk of bank. ... We’re still OK, but we’re not going to be OK unless we do something about it.”

Paso City Council members voted unanimously on June 19 to approve $750,000 in spending for an “emergency

stabilization” project that its staff believes will halt the erosion. The plan is to special order 10,000 tons of boulders from a quarry and place them along the bank.

At 25 tons of maximum weight per dump truck, that’s 400 truck trips. Before the boulders can go in, workers will first have to smoothen out the slope of the bank to give it a more gradual incline.

The project is expected to take four months and drain city water fund reserves by 20 percent—a financial hit that’s likely to impact residents’ water rates at some point, McKinley acknowledged.

“Buying boulders is expensive,” McKinley said, “and it’s hundreds of feet of shoreline.”

Alakel told New Times that it’s critical for the project to get completed before next winter’s rains. Clearing state and federal regulatory hurdles is the first challenge. The city submitted emergency applications with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, and is awaiting permits to commence.

Ashley Spratt, a public information officer with U.S. Fish and Wildlife, noted that emergency situations are treated a little differently than other projects.

‘We lost a large, large chunk of bank. ...

We’re still OK, but we’re not going to be OK unless we do something about it.’

—Dick McKinley, Paso Robles public works director

The process for an emergency permit goes like this: The Army Corps of Engineers consults with myriad agencies like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, Environmental Protection Agency, and the state Historic Preservation Office to assess the potential impacts of the project and add conditions to it.

“They should be able to take all that, wrap it in a permit, and provide that to the city,” said Mike Hill, a senior biologist for Althouse and Meade, a local firm assisting Paso with the

Her agency is looking out for rare and endangered wildlife like the San Joaquin kit fox and California red-legged frog.

But it won’t ask for a mitigation measure from the city that would “interfere with alleviating the emergency”—in this case, stopping the riverbank erosion.

“After the emergency has abated, the Army Corps of Engineers would assess whether or not federally-protected species were impacted by the project, and work with Fish and Wildlife to address those impacts if needed,” Spratt said.

In addition to impacts to critters, Hill said regulators are also concerned about the southern steelhead trout and cultural resources that may be at the project site: “Native Americans were known to use the Salinas River corridor,” he said.

As Alakel trudged down the barren Salinas River back toward his office inside the barbed-wire fence, he articulated the urgency of this problem and the stakes in play. Paso’s wellfield is in a unique geological location that can’t really be found elsewhere in the area.

The city also recently unveiled a water treatment plant at the site that treats Lake Nacimiento water and pipes it to residents.

“We’ve got so much invested in this.

It’s one of the most valuable pieces of real estate the city owns,” Alakel said. “I’ve looked up and down this river for other suitable locations to drill wells that have good water quality, that have a nice sandy area where I can drill. I can’t find any.

Going for broke A movement to end the state’s cash bail system is gaining momentum, but not everyone’s on board

BY CHRIS MCGUINNESS

J

eni M. was booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail on May 11, 2009. She voluntarily turned herself in on a burglary charge, according to court records.

Her bail was set at $50,000, but she was under the impression that she would remain at the facility until her next court hearing. But within a day or two of her booking, she was solicited, illegally, by a representative from a local bail bond company who offered to get her out. That same bail bond agent obtained the phone number of Jeni’s mother, and called her at least twice, promising to bail Jeni out of jail for $5,000, according to disciplinary records filed by the California Department of Insurance.

Jeni’s mother turned the offer down. She simply didn’t have the money.

Unscrupulous bondsmen, high bail amounts, the inability to get out of jail because you don’t have the money: These are all ills that a vocal group of criminal justice reform advocates in California lay at the feet of the state’s cash bail system. That system, they believe, is unfair, prejudiced, and potentially harmful to public safety. A little less than a decade after Jeni’s ordeal, they are advocating to drastically change that system, ending cash bail statewide.

But not everyone’s sold on it. Some law enforcement officials argue that taking away the financial incentive will put more criminals back on the streets, criminals who would be more willing to skip out on bail and possibly commit other crimes. Representatives of the bail industry agree and say scrapping the system would also burden police and taxpayers with the cost of tracking down those who don’t show up to court.

That same back-and-forth is happening in SLO County. Activists, law enforcement officials, local politicians, and bail agents are taking sides on the issue, making their arguments as a bill to end the state’s cash bail system works its way though the legislative process.

‘Terribly unjust’

One of the more vocal groups in favor of bail reform in SLO County is the local chapter of Bend the Arc, a progressive Jewish organization that advocates for a number of social justice issues, including criminal justice reform.

Barry Price, a member of the group’s SLO chapter, said he and other members have been pushing the issue of bail reform both locally and at the state level, making the argument to anyone who will listen that the cash bail system is outdated, ineffective, and discriminatory.

“It’s one of the greatest contributors to mass incarceration and inequality in the country,” he said. “It’s also one of the most unjust and unequal elements of our criminal justice system.”

One of the major arguments Price and others like him make for abolishing the cash bail system is that it unfairly favors the wealthy over the poor. Under the current system, someone held on bail can pay the full amount and get out of jail or pay a bail agent to post a bond for the full amount, and pay them a non-refundable fee of anywhere from 5 to 10 percent of the total bail amount.

According to a May 2017 report by UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs, the median bail amount in California is about $50,000, five times higher than the rest of the country.

“If you go to a bail bond company, that’s still $5,000,” Price said. “So if you don’t have $5,000 laying around, what happens? You’re stuck sitting in jail, or your family has to scramble to come up with that money by selling a car or borrowing from friends or going into debt.”

According to the UCLA report, an estimated 90 percent of individuals detained pretrial in the U.S. remain in jail because they cannot afford their bail.

“While defendants await trial in jail custody, they are unable to attend to their obligations, such as working, going to school, paying rent, or caring for family members,” the report states.

The report also says that the current bail system may perpetuate racial disparities in the state’s FILE PHOTO COUTRESY OF OSTRANDER CAMPAIGN

A MATTER OF JUSTICE 35th District Assembly candidate Bill Ostrander says he supports repealing and replacing the state’s cash bail system, arguing that monetary bail is unfair to the poor and people of color.

criminal justice system, particularly among African American and Latino populations, who it says are disproportionately represented within the state’s pretrial jail population.

For reform advocates like Price, the current system not only keeps the poor and people of color unfairly behind bars, it allows those with the ability to pay to get out, even if their crimes are worse or more violent. Price pointed to the case of Tiffany Li, a Hillsborough, Calif., woman accused of orchestrating the murder of her ex-boyfriend in 2016. According to media reports, Li, who comes from a family with an estimated net worth between $100 million and $150 million, was able to get out of jail after posting a record-setting $35 million bail in April 2017.

Contrast Li’s case with that of Sandra Bland, a 28-yearold black woman arrested after a traffic stop who couldn’t afford to pay the $515 bail bond amount. She spent three days in jail before committing suicide. The problems with the cash bail system couldn’t be clearer, advocates argue.

“It doesn’t enhance public safety, because if you have the money you can get out regardless of your crime, while people arrested for very minor offenses can languish behind bars just because they don’t have money,” Price said.

Skepticism

While Price and others in the bail reform movement believe that getting rid of the cash bail system would help

12 • New Times • June 28 - July 5, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com

address issues of inequality within the state’s criminal justice system, others aren’t so sure that such a radical change is necessary. That includes SLO County’s top prosecutor, District Attorney Dan Dow. “In terms of fairness and equity, I think there is a lot of room for improvement in the system,” Dow said. “But the view that there should be no cash bail at all is, I think, a bit premature.”

Dow said that while other states have been further behind the curve in reforming their bail systems to be more fair, he believed that California already had several laws and policies in place to prevent many nonviolent and low-level offenders from languishing in jails.

One of those is a practice known as “cite and release.”

Under California law, persons arrested for most misdemeanor crimes can, in lieu of being taken to jail, receive a citation and be released with a promise to appear in court on the charge. Cite and release doesn’t apply to felony crimes; some individuals on felony probation; or individuals arrested for theft, burglary, or assault and battery who have three or more warrants for failure to appear in court on previous charges.

Both the SLO County Sheriff’s Office, as well as law enforcement agencies throughout California, utilize cite and release, Dow said.

“The people you describe as low-level and nonviolent offenders are being cited out. They’re not really sitting in our county jails,” he said. “The ones that are have had numerous failures to appear in court.”

Dow said he also believed that using a cash bail system incentivizes individuals accused of a crime not to commit further crimes while they are out of jail awaiting trial and encourages them to appear in court. In felony cases, he said, prosecutors can add another two years to their sentence if they commit another felony while out on bail.

“It does put more skin in the game for that offender,” he said. “Because they could lose that money.”

Greg Sullivan, owner of local bail bond company ABC Bonding, shared a similar sentiment about completely getting rid of the current system.

“It’s going to allow people to run free with nothing hanging over their heads,” said Sullivan, who’s worked in the industry for 32 years. “It just doesn’t make sense to me.”

Sullivan also argued that bail agents help relieve the burden of already overtaxed law enforcement agencies by finding defendants who skip their bail. If someone out on bond fails to appear, a bail bond company like Sullivan’s has about six months to find them before they forfeit the entire amount of the bond to the court, creating an incentive for them to find and return the defendant.

Without the bail bond industry, it would be completely up to local law enforcement agencies to track down and arrest defendants who fail to appear in court, meaning a drain on time, manpower, and resources, all at the expense of taxpayers, according to Sullivan.

“We are sort of like an insurance policy for the taxpayers,” Sullivan said.

While he was against totally dismantling cash bail in California, Sullivan said that there was definitely room for improvement using less radical fixes.

“I do feel that by setting bails lower, it would alleviate a lot of the problems we see,” he said. “I think that would be a really good first step.”

Likewise, Dow said there are potential reforms that should be looked at to address problems in the system.

Dow pointed to 10 recommendations made by a working group of 12 California judges commissioned by the state’s chief justice to study the issue in 2017. Among those, Dow supports recommendations to expand the use of risk-based preventive detention programs, implementing pre-trial services for defendants in every California County, and integrating the perspectives and voices of the defendant’s alleged victims into the pre-trial process.

Whatever reforms occur, Dow said that safety needs to remain a top priority.

“Public safety should be the No. 1 consideration when determining bail,” he said. “That’s really what trumps it all for me.”

‘It’s one of the greatest contributors to mass incarceration and inequality in the country,’ —Barry Price, Ben the Arc SLO Chapter

SB 10

The divide between those for and against ending the cash bail system in California is becoming even more apparent in the support and opposition surrounding a proposed bill currently making its way through the state’s legislative process.

Senate Bill 10 (SB 10), also known as the California Money Bail Reform Act, would enact major changes to the state’s current bail system. If passed, it would largely eliminate the use of money bail and make courts rely more on a defendant’s risk and other factors when determining whether to detain them prior to their trial.

The most current version of the bill requires each county to create a pre-trial services agency, as well as a “risk assessment” system to evaluate defendants and determine if they pose a threat to the community and their likelihood of showing up to court. A risk assessment report would be provided to a judge, who would then use it and other information to determine whether a defendant should be released. A defendant could be released with or without specific conditions, but if those conditions can’t “reasonably” ensure the person will return to court, a monetary bail amount could be set. However, that bail amount would be based on their ability to pay rather than a fixed bail schedule, which the current system utilizes.

The bill was introduced in December 2016 by state Sen. Robert Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys) and passed the Senate on a 26-11 vote in May 2017. The bill is currently under consideration by the state Assembly’s appropriations committee.

FILE PHOTO BY HENRY BRUINGTON

A QUESTION OF SAFTEY SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow said there is always room to improve the justice system, but he has concerns that scrapping the state’s current bail system could endanger public safety.

Proponents of the bill, which include the California ACLU, the California Public Defenders Association, and Bend the Arc all believe it will create a more just bail system, promote community safety, and reportedly save millions of taxpayer dollars spent to incarcerate Californians who can’t afford to pay bail.

“This legislation reforms bail so it treats people of all backgrounds fairly and equally, whether they are rich or poor,” Hertzberg said shortly after the bill passed the Senate.

But a number of organizations have raised concerns about the bill. Those include the California Peace Officers Association, which said that courts already have a system to release a defendant on their own recognizance or reduce their bail. The California District Attorney’s Association also opposed the bill, stating in an April 2017 letter that while “thoughtful” improvements may be necessary, the proposed legislation moved “too far, too fast.”

Dow agreed with that assessment and said he worried that the provisions in the current version of SB 10 wouldn’t be enough to keep the public safe from defendants who might be released and commit further crimes.

“To me, there will inevitably be more crimes being committed,” he said. “Not everyone charged or convicted of a crime is always going to commit another crime, but we know statistically that individuals convicted of certain offenses are more likely to reoffend, … so I think there will be more victimization.”

Local Bend the Arc member Price pushed back against the characterization that the bill would make communities less safe.

“They want to say you’ll have to lock up your wives and daughters because there’s going to be all these heinous villains roaming our streets,” he said. “But that’s not the case. The current system doesn’t enhance public safety because, if you have the money, you can get out of jail regardless of your crime or flight risk.”

While its passage is still up in the air, the SLO County Sheriff’s Office is participating in a pre-trial services working group with the DA’s Office, County Probation, the SLO County Public Defender’s Office, and other local agencies to prepare for the bill’s possible passage.

“The Sheriff’s Office is supportive of alternative tools to incarcerating individuals,” the office said in a written response to questions from New Times. “However, [we must] have the community’s safety at the forefront when assessing such cases.”

An election issue

The argument over bail reform has trickled down into local politics. The two candidates running for the 35th District state Assembly seat in November have taken up opposing sides on the issue.

Challenger Bill Ostrander, a Democrat, said he was in favor of leaving the cash bail system behind, and supports SB 10. Like Price, Ostrander, believes that the status quo creates a two-tiered system of justice, favoring the wealthy with little regard for the type of crime they’ve committed.

“People’s rights are being trampled because they chose to be a store clerk instead of a hedge fund manager,” Ostrander said. “This is something we need to have a frank discussion about.”

In addition to creating a more equitable criminal justice system, Ostrander believes that enacting SB 10 or similar bail reform legislation could save taxpayer funds. According to UCLA’s report, pre-trial detention under the status quo bail system costs the state more than $28 billion annually. A non-cash bail system could cut that cost down to anywhere between $18.9 billion and $4.8 billion, depending on the incarceration rate and specific types of reforms, the report stated.

“Right now, taxpayer resources are being used to incarcerate people who don’t need to be or don’t deserve to be in jail,” Ostrander said. “Reforming our bail system could very well release millions of dollars we could use for education or other areas.”

But Republican incumbent Jordan Cunningham, now running for a second term as the 35th District’s assemblyman, has come out against ending the state’s monetary bail system, and has signaled that he will likely not support SB 10 as currently proposed.

Cunningham’s office declined an interview with New Times on the subject, referring reporters to a letter to the editor Cunningham submitted on the bail reform issue that New Times published in April.

In that letter, Cunningham, a former prosecutor, argued that without the incentive created by monetary bail, more felons would fail to appear in court and remain at large. Like District Attorney Dow, Cunningham indicated that this would put public safety and crime victims at risk.

“This proposal, in my view, would ultimately make communities less safe,” Cunningham wrote.

The Assembly member also wrote that the proposed legislation to scrap the current bail system would impose, “considerable costs” on local governments who would have to establish pre-trial agencies, calling into question just how much taxpayers would save should it pass.

Last year, Cunningham voted against AB 42, a companion bill to SB 10 that failed to pass the Assembly.

In his letter to New Times, Cunningham indicated that he’d likely vote against SB 10 as well, unless the proposal was “substantially amended”.

Ostrander questioned whether Cunningham’s opposition to the bill was truly out of a concern for public safety, noting that he’d taken campaign donations from bail bond companies. According to campaign finance filings, Cunningham received a total of $3,000 from two bail bond companies in 2017 and another $1,225 from local bail bond business owner Sullivan in 2016. In both cases, those donations only accounted for a small fraction of Cunningham’s total donations.

“Mr. Cunningham seems to be more focused on punishment than improving our community,” Ostrander said. “He seems to be siding with an industry that is profiting off other people’s misfortunes.”

While bail reform and SB 10 are unlikely to be the central issue of the 35th District race, the outcome could impact the fate of SB 10. Price indicated that

every vote would be needed to get the measure passed in the assembly.

“We are still a few votes short,” he said. “One of those votes in Mr. Cunningham’s.”

Whomever wins the seat in November will likely get the chance to cast a vote, if and when the bill comes up for a vote.

A larger conversation

The push for bail reform is just the latest in what appears to be a growing conversation, both in California and across the United States, about reforming the criminal justice system.

From efforts to decriminalize drug offenses, minimize the use of solitary confinement, and pushback against the use and funding of for-profit prisons, Price said that the wider public is increasingly acknowledging some of the harmful and biased aspects of the criminal justice system. He said more people are looking to engage and participate in ways to address them.

“There’s been a growing awareness of the negative impacts of mass incarceration,” he said. “More people are becoming aware that it’s terribly unfair and unjust and that it should be fixed.”

But others, including many in law enforcement, warn that rushing to fix those problems without consideration for their impact on public safety can lead to unforeseen negative consequences. They cite the passage of Proposition 57 in 2016 as an example. The law, passed by voters, promised to allow early release for prisoners accused of a “nonviolent” crime. But loopholes in the bill FILE PHOTO BY HENRY BRUINGTON

‘NO’ VOTE 35th District State Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-Templeton) indicated that he would not vote for a proposed bill that would end California’s money bail system, taking the opposing side of Ostrander, his challenger in the November election.

allowed for early release, under certain circumstances, for prisoners accused of assault, child trafficking, rape of an unconscious person, and other serious crimes. Both Cunningham and Dow opposed the proposition prior to its passage.

“I think there will always be opportunities to make reforms and do better, but the devil is in the details,” Dow said.

The key, he insisted was having just as much consideration for the victims of crime as for those accused when trying seeking fixes to create a better system of justice.

“It’s important—because of our U.S. Constitution—to always protect a defendant’s rights, but if we don’t protect a victim’s rights with equally as much fervor, then I think we don’t really have a justice system,” Dow said. ∆ Staff Writer Chris McGuinness can be reached at cmcguinness@newtimesslo.com.

‘The view that there should be no cash bail at all is, I think, a bit premature.’

Trump supporters not welcome Let’s match businesses with politics, so we know where to spend our money

W

e heard the disturbing news that early last week that Kirstjen Nielsen, Homeland Security Secretary, was heckled by demonstrators while attempting to enjoy a quiet dinner in a Washington D.C. Mexican restaurant. Then, a few days later, it was reported that a restaurateur in Virginia asked White House Press Secretary Sara Huckabee Sanders to leave her restaurant after already being seated and served.

It seems to me that these public servants aren’t deserving of such treatment, marking a new low in the behavior and civility of the political left.

Perhaps it’s time for a new approach when those of us with political leanings need to deal with a private business.

I know in my own life that I stopped watching football because of the politics

Clint Eastwood or Jon Voight.

I also do my best to no longer purchase anything from Amazon, a Trump-hating company, and instead find everything I need in a better designed and friendlier website: walmart.com.

So I think it’s time for all businesses to disclose their political leanings so we, the public, can spend our time and money at establishments that respect us and appreciate our business. For retail businesses, like restaurants and shops, there’s a really easy solution. Just install a placard at the entrance with a single letter. “R” for those preferring to serve Republicans; “D” for those interested in serving Democrats; and “W” for businesses that are willing to welcome everyone.

Trump and would prefer not to serve Deplorables, they’d have this easy, polite way of letting us know. Similarly, if Grandma’s Tavern would prefer not to serve bleeding-heart liberals, they could do the same. While, perhaps, Happy Town Brew is one that’s indeed happy to serve anyone, a “W” would be seen upon entry.

(Note: restaurant names were conjured up and any resemblance to actual businesses

is purely accidental.)

Look, we already have our own TV stations: CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and MSNBC for the left and Fox for the Deplorables. Our radio shows, NPR for the left and Rush Limbaugh for us. And our newspapers, the Tribune for the left and New Times for everyone. We’re obviously headed in this direction so why not continue?

How about United Airlines for the left and American Airlines for the Deplorables. Patagonia for the left and Cabela’s for us. Hertz for the left, Avis for Trump supporters, and Enterprise for everyone. Such disclosure could make it easier to pick with whom to do business.

I mean, can you imagine some lefty taking a long flight and forced to sit next to me while I’m donning my Make America Great Again hat and the full plane offers no available seats for retreat?

Scary thought, huh?

So I think it would make everyone feel more comfortable, especially in restaurants, both for servers as well as those at nearby tables that might be forced to hear unsafe conversation, to separate bleeding hearts from Deplorables. And, in so doing, I’d accrue a special benefit to be free to wear my MAGA hat without worrying about spit or other foreign objects arriving in my meal. ∆ Gary Wechter is a retired businessman, avid Trump supporter, and proud Deplorable living in Arroyo Grande.

Family separation is evidence of our slide into authoritarianism The United States has always prided itself on being a country that welcomes immigrants and gives them a chance to pursue the American dream with relative political security and access to education—a place where families who work hard can thrive.

Now, to our mostly collective horror, our government is ripping children from their parents as they enter this country and warehousing them in ways that undoubtedly will leave lasting scars. Our president claims it is the Democrats who have forced him into enforcing these draconian policies, but we know this is simply not true.

Yes, the president authorized the return of more than 2,300 children to their parents, but there are many loopholes in that authorization, including the ability to keep these children detained for months and years while our poorly crafted immigration system grinds on. We should be asking: Just how low can he go?

Any politician who places their own re-election in front of leading from a moral, human perspective must be stopped. We want leaders who respect the sanctity of the family unit, who will not stand for the inhumane treatment of children— whether they are American citizens or undocumented migrants, whether their parents are seeking asylum or simply a better life for the family.

We must keep demonstrating, pressuring our elected officials, and making our voices heard. This is not the America we envision, and if all of

We are better than ugly politics

Many of the people coming to America want to ask for asylum, asylum from brutal governments and gang violence in their own countries. But the immigration bureaucracy is making it impossible for them to do so. Instead they are being arrested, and many families were separated. The forced separations appear to have been stopped, but at least 2,300 children—some of them still in diapers —have been removed from their parents since May and the U.S. government has no database on the whereabouts of the parents and children.

This is politics at its ugliest.

Has the government thought about what happens to the children when they cannot locate the now deported parents?

Who feeds and educates them? Will they eventually deport infants—and to where and to whom? What will be the psychological damage that will last a lifetime? Where are the girls and boys?

Are they safe from sexual predators and people who could sell them into sex

Letters trafficking? How do we know?

Call Sen. Chuck Schumer, (202) 2246542; Sen. Kamala Harris, (202) 2243553; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, (202) 2243841; and U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, (202) 225-3601. Ask them to: 1. Immediately work with their GOP counterparts to put into place a way to locate and reconnect families who have already been separated. 2. Work together to enact meaningful immigration reform.

As it says in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum: First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

America is better than this! We cannot stand by and say nothing.

Civility is a start

Bravo! Kudos to the mayors and city councils of the seven cities and the Board of Supervisors of San Luis Obispo County for unanimously adopting the Regional Code of Civility at a formal, public ceremony at the SLO County Public Library on June 21.

promoted the cause of civil discourse at public meetings and in political debate.

We have drafted resolutions on civility and civil discourse that we have seen adopted by the Board of Supervisors and city councils throughout the county. We have provided training workshops and brochures on the “best practices” for civil discourse to agencies and organizations to help them run their meetings more productively. We provide a democracy concierge service at SLO City Council meetings that fosters respectful, constructive speech and encourages residents to make their voices heard.

Without civility, we are unable to talk to each other, to hear each other, or to reason together. Without civility, consensus and compromise are nearly

impossible. Without civility, problems are left unsolved, citizens become alienated, and our democracy suffers. And while we enthusiastically commend our elected officials for the stand they have taken, we also encourage all candidates for public office to follow their lead and sign on to the Regional Code of Civility. By doing so they can help to ensure that this fall’s election campaigns focus on issues and policies, not personalities, and offer constructive solutions rather than hyperbole and invective.

The code of civility has been adopted.

Now comes the hard part—sticking with it. We urge everyone in, or aspiring to, public office to keep a copy of the Regional Code of Civility handy and refer to it often. Post it at public meetings so those who attend will know what their local leaders have committed to do and will hold them to it. We will all benefit from increased civility in our public spaces.

policies of Lynn Compton or accept the policies of Jimmy Paulding, and 31 voters decided the outcome of this election.

Out of 18,000 votes, that’s within the statistical margin of error. In other words, 31 voters could have mistakenly marked Lynn Compton instead of Jimmy Paulding. Those voters could have been mistakenly swayed to think Lynn Compton was a Democrat through the deceptive mailer that identified her as a Democrat. Either way, half of the citizens of District 4 are left out in the cold because Lynn Compton has announced, “I look forward to representing them [her voters] again for another term to accomplish our mutual goals.”

One would think that a candidate who lost 1,800 votes from the last election to this one would be more consolatory and compromising to the other half. That doesn’t seem to be the case. So buckle your seat belts SLO County, because “the other half” is going to be heard.

Don’t paint all Christians with the same brush

I haven’t written a letter to the editor in years, mostly because I rarely read them. Unfortunately I made the mistake of reading David Broadwater’s letter (“Stop child concentration camps,” June 21) regarding the inhumane decision to keep Central American parents seeking

asylum separated from their children and vice versa.

Guess what, Mr. Broadwater. I’m a Christian and I don’t agree with what has been done. Nor do I agree with any of the other hideous things that have been done in the past or are being done currently in the name of God. Do you think all Muslims are terrorists, too?

Pull up your pants, Mr. Broadwater.

onsider this hard truth: 90 percent of San Luis Obispo County’s homeless are unsheltered, making SLO the third worst in the nation (compared with similar counties), according to the federal Homeless Assessment Report.

I don’t know about you, but that makes me feel ashamed. We’re a community of wealth, education, and resources. We claim to be compassionate. So shouldn’t we provide safety and a quality of life for those among us who can’t take care of themselves or need help procuring shelter?

Last month in this column, we met some of the 1,200-3,500 homeless men and women populating our parks, creek beds, and underpasses. More than 300 of them are chronically homeless, meaning they suffer from a disability and they’ve gone without shelter for a year or more.

What’s the fix? Do we have the will— can we summon our alleged compassion— to tackle a problem that is exacerbated by a shrinking supply of affordable housing?

Or do we avert our eyes?

Solutions exist. What’s more, the local service providers, teams of dedicated volunteers and activists, and leaders and elected officials that I spoke with agree on the single most important element in addressing homelessness: housing.

“Drug and alcohol services are abysmal in SLO County, and there’s not enough room at the women’s shelters,” said Grace McIntosh, deputy director of Community Action Partnership SLO, “but housing is the No. 1 need.”

“Does it make sense to boot the homeless out of their camps or arrest them for vagrancy when you can’t provide any alternative housing?” asked Tim Waag, a member of SLO County’s Housing Services Oversight Council (HSOC).

Jana Nichols, executive director of the 5 Cities Homeless Coalition, said, “You can’t ‘law enforcement’ your way out of the problem, but we have solutions proven to work.”

In particular, Nichols cited 50Now, a program launched in 2014 that provides permanent housing to 50 of the county’s most vulnerable homeless individuals, whether or not they are mentally ill, addicted, or disabled. After addressing housing first, the program then wraps the clients in support services, such as detox and mental health treatment.

And here’s the proof: 50Now has cut hospital visits in half and almost eliminated arrests and incarcerations for residents, a considerable savings to the public coffers. Encouraged by its success, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to add 10 beds next year.

Laurel Weir, director of homeless services for SLO County, noted other encouraging developments.

“In the five years I’ve served as director, with funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, we’ve increased the number of permanent supportive housing beds from 28 to 52,” she said. “The Emergency Solutions Grant Program has helped us add rapid rehousing units, which provide

security deposits and short-term rental assistance, although we still have a challenge finding landlords willing to rent to our clients, especially if they don’t have the ability to work.”

Other new housing programs that have had an impact on homelessness include the CalWORKS Housing Support Program, the Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program, and the Bringing Families Home Program. But these only succeed in the margins.

In addition, 40 Prado, a new, consolidated center to provide temporary shelter and services to children, families, and adults, will open soon. It will increase the number of emergency housing beds in SLO from 75 (including 25 overflow beds in local churches and synagogues) to 100. McIntosh is particularly excited that families with children will have their own living quarters.

“For the first time, children will have their own bed, a place to keep their belongings,” she said.

Thanks to Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratic leaders, SLO County is also poised to receive $4.8 million in emergency aid for the homeless.

In a recent report to the Board of Supervisors, Weir and HSOC made a strong case for adding nine more case managers soon, and up to 21 in the long term; building 366 multi-family permanent support housing units, plus 60 to 70 units for families with children; converting a hotel or residential facility into apartment-style units; and creating 15 housing units for families fleeing domestic violence.

But none of it’s been approved. While the county’s new programs, facility, and grant are encouraging, the HSOC wish list makes apparent how many of our county’s residents are literally left out in the cold.

Although 50Now is indeed a model, hundreds of chronically homeless remain outside of its doors; 40 Prado provides emergency housing for only 100 out of the 1,200 plus who go without shelter daily.

And while a $4.8 million grant from the state sounds like a godsend, Weir points out that it’s one-time money—expanding personnel and services requires ongoing resources that increase the county budget permanently. Twenty-one case managers, for instance, are estimated to cost $1.5 million per year.

So, what’s it going to be, folks? Do we allow this humanitarian crisis to fester and grow, or do we commit the resources necessary to lift fellow citizens out of homelessness?

Let your supervisors and city council members know that you support funding HSOC’s aspirations, whether that means a bond measure or tax increase. That’s what it will take.

Meanwhile, extend a hand, a smile, a can of soup, and the dignity of recognition to those living on our doorsteps. ∆ Amy Hewes is actively involved in grassroots political action. Send comments through the editor at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

The Shredder

Dear incompetent people,

D

ear Daniel Boyd McMonegal, owner-operator of West Coast Organix, you are a total moron!

You get SLO County’s first ever, brand spanking new commercial cannabis sales permit, and next you’re indicted in a super secret dark web nationwide federal sting operation for allegedly illegally selling pot in exchange for Bitcoin? What a toolbag!

You’re effing it up for everybody else!

Look, I get that the SLO County powers-that-be seem to be doing everything in their control to make it harder than blindfolded, left-handed Chinese calligraphy to operate a legal cannabis business, which encourages a continued black market, but your douche move has accomplished three terrible things!

First, you’ve just given ammo to the anti-cannabis crowd that justifies the onerous complications of obtaining permits and licenses, and you’ve vindicated the absurd level of scrutiny pot opponents have demanded on the nowlegal industry. In short, you’ve made a business that’s trying desperately to come into the light look shady.

Second, you’ve given SLO County’s already gun-shy conservative majority— I’m talking to you John Peschong, Lynn Compton, and Debbie Arnold—reason to be even more suspicious of cannabis businesses and stingy with their licensing.

You think you had to jump through hoops to get a license? The next pot vendor is going to need to be Jackie-Chan-on-

steroids nimble to navigate the licensing procedures. You’ve made the county look stupid for approving your license, in effect staining their process. Lame!

Third, you’ve probably landed yourself in federal prison for 20 years, cost yourself a $1 million fine, and put your employees out of their jobs. That’s a real dick move!

Before you start whining about how it’s unfair that marijuana is a Schedule I drug alongside heroin, LSD, ecstasy, and peyote; and that even meth, oxycodone, and fentanyl are lower at Schedule II—which I agree is bullshit— you’re still undermining the burgeoning legal marijuana industry. Baby steps, baby! Pot advocates have been working for decades at legalization. Your behavior taints an entire industry.

Obviously, marijuana should not be a Schedule I, II, or even III drug. I can see an argument for Schedule IV, which includes Xanax, Valium, and Soma. But we are where we are. The legal California marijuana biz is on the precipice of being extremely lucrative, and you, Danny-boy, were in the catbird seat. Now you’re going to be in the hot seat, trying to explain to a federal judge how you’re innocent of laundering Bitcoin in exchange for thousands of bucks in cash through an undercover agent in New York who sent it through the U.S. mail like it was a crisp fifty in your birthday card from Grandma McMonegal.

Guess you’re not as smart as you

thought you were, Danny McMoron. I think I speak for the entire recreational marijuana smoking population of SLO County when I say, “You’re harshing my mellow, man. See you in 20 … hopefully not!”

Dear Arroyo Grande Mayor Jim Hill, I see you recently sent a letter to the California Fair Political Practices Commission to ask if you should recuse yourself from voting on the proposed Brisco Road project since the sites are within 2,600-feet of your residence.

They told you that, yes, you should recuse yourself. Is this a case of betterlate-than-never? You’ve been talking about and involved with the ongoing discussion of the project for years! Why did you wait until now to check if you’re in conflict? You know where you live, right?

Check the tag your mom sewed into your underpants.

Dear Gov. Jerry Brown, I hear SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon, and City Councilmembers Aaron Gomez, Andy Pease, and Dan Rivoire (among dozens of other elected California officials) recently sent you a letter asking you to squash California’s fossil fuel industry and transition to 100 percent renewable energy. My question is this: Does this sort of thing work or is it a stunt?

Jerry—may I call you Jerry?—Jerry, I couldn’t help but notice SLO Vice Mayor Carlyn Christianson didn’t sign the

group letter. She emailed New Times reporter and basketball bobblehead figurine collector Peter Johnson to say, “Just asking Gov. Brown to do such a thing, even for symbolic reasons, smacks of what I call Facebook politics—it doesn’t actually change anything at all, and instead often seems to instead create a strange ‘us vs. them’ dynamic, shutting down necessary dialogue on how to actually move towards a new future.”

Jer—may I call you Jer?—Jer, she may have a point. I mean you are a lame duck governor with only six months or so left on your final term, so you don’t really have the time or power to accomplish much more than you already have, and you already publicly stated California would adhere to the Paris Climate Agreement even though our President Donald “Tender Age Detention” Trump refused to, and your policies have certainly encouraged a transition to renewables. Yeah, I think Christianson may have been right not to jump on the publicity-stunt bandwagon.

Dear Heidi, Aaron, Andy, and Dan, I appreciate where your hearts are (in your chests, right?), but empty gestures don’t enact change, policies do. Instead of writing letters, write, “I will not bother Gov. Moonbeam,” 100 times on a blackboard.

Anyway, letters are stupid, amirite? ∆ The Shredder writes sternly worded letters to Santa. Send ideas and comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Indigo wisdom How a folk duo survives 33 years in the music biz

T

rivia time! What do Indigo Girls and Milli Vanilli have in common?

Well, in 1990, they were both nominated for the Best New Artist Grammy Award.

Milli Vanilli won. True story.

Later, Milli Vanilli—the German R&B duo consisting of dancers and models Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus, who sold millions of records in the late ’80s and early ’90s—became synonymous with music industry corruption after it was discovered their voices never appeared on Milli Vanilli recordings and during performances they lip-synced the lyrics.

They were later stripped of their Grammy Award for obvious reasons.

Though they lost for Best New Artist, that year Indigo Girls did take home the Best Contemporary Folk Album Grammy Award, and their song “Closer to Fine” off their winning self-titled album helped form the lesbian duo’s reputation as literate, insightful, and philosophical singer-songwriters—a well-deserved rep they still retain. While Milli Vanilli has become a punch line, Indigo Girls remain revered artists.

“I’m tryin’ to tell you somethin’ ‘bout my life/ Maybe give me insight between black and white/ And the best thing you’ve ever done for me/ Is to help me take my life less seriously/ It’s only life after all, yeah,” Amy Elizabeth Ray and Emily Ann Saliers sing on “Closer to Fine,” a song about trying to find “the answer” to life but discovering it’s easier said than done.

“And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains/ I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains/ There’s more than one answer to these questions/ Pointing me in a crooked line/ And the less I seek my source for some definitive/ The closer I am to fine,”

‘CLOSER TO FINE’ Indigo Girls bring their excellent songwriting, stunning voices, and stunning musicianship to Fremont Theater on June 30.

they sing, pointing out that our revered sources of knowledge and inspiration don’t necessarily teach us, and that there are many paths to wisdom, and most importantly, that instead of some “definitive,” be open and accepting.

You don’t have to go to college—“I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind/ Got my paper and I was free”—or use mind-altering substances—“I stopped by the bar at three A.M./ To seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend/ And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board”—or turn to religion—“Yeah, we go to the Bible, we go through the work out/ We read up on revival, we stand up for the lookout.”

“Closer to Fine” admits it’s easier to succumb to disillusionment than to stay positive—“Well darkness has a hunger that’s insatiable/ And lightness has a call that’s hard to hear”—and that it’s easy to be overwhelmed by negativity—“I wrap my fear around me like a blanket/ I sailed my ship of safety ‘til I sank it”—but that if we just roll with life and embrace the mystery, the closer we’ll be “to fine,” which is a damn fine message because “it’s only life after all, yeah.”

Over their career the duo—who generally write separately and come together to work on arrangements— have released plenty of iconic songs, like “Galileo,” “Hammer and Nail,” “Power of

Two,” “Shame on You,” and many more.

They’ve recorded 14 full-length studio albums, most recently 2015’s One Lost Day. They have a lot of material to draw from, and at a Portland show earlier this month, they performed tracks like “Three Hits,” “Spread the Pain Around,” and “Sugar Tongue.” After their 19song performance, they came back for an encore to play “Share the Moon” and “Closer to Fine.”

You can see them yourself this Saturday, June 30, when Indigo Girls play the Fremont Theater (9 p.m.; all ages; $40, $50, and $65 at Boo

Boo Records or eventbrite.com). Lucy Wainwright Roche will open the show.

She’s Loudon Wainwright III and Suzzy Roche’s daughter, and the musical talent didn’t fall far from the tree—great voice, great songs! Should be a terrific night.

Also, don’t forget the Fremont has Americana duo The Milk Carton Kids on Thursday, June 28 (8:30 p.m.; all ages; $30 to $50 at eventbrite.com and Boo Boo’s). They’re touring in support of All the Things That I Did and All the Things That I Didn’t Do, out on June 29, the day after this show. It’s their first album that they brought a band in the studio with them.

“We wanted to do something new,” Kenneth Pattengale said in press materials. “We had been going around the country yet another time to do the duo show, going to the places we’d been before.

There arose some sort of need for change.”

“Musically, we knew we were going to make the record with a bigger sonic palette,” Joey Ryan added. “It was liberating to know we wouldn’t have to be able to carry every song with just our two guitars.”

I don’t know if their Fremont show will have a full band or be just the duo, but the terrific singer-songwriter J.S. Ondara will open.

Thursday sandwich

Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents don’t have a big slate of shows

this week, but they do have two great ones, starting with an outdoor show at SLO’s Mission Plaza this Thursday, June 28, when The California Honeydrops play (5:30 p.m.; all ages; $20 presale at ticketfly.com or Boo Boo’s, or $25 at the gate).

It’s impossible to overstate how much fun this band is live. Fronted by the charismatic Lech Wierzynski, who was born in Poland but fell in love with American blues and jazz as a teenager in Washington D.C., they play everything from New Orleans style second line to R&B to roots and beyond. Lech has a great voice, plays a mean trumpet (and guitar), and his band is tight! Gutbucket bass, jug, washboard, and other unusual sounds and instrumentation make their way into the music.

Next Thursday, July 5, amazing Americana folk duo Birds of Chicago play The Siren (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $20 presale at ticketfly.com or $25 at the door). The husband and wife team of JT Nero and Allison Russell (who was in the Canadian roots act Po’Girl) call their sound “secular gospel.”

They released the live album Live From Space in 2013, their amazing debut studio album Real Midnight in 2016, the excellent EP American Flowers in 2017, and are now touring for 2018’s Love in Wartime, another great American folk album with global influences. It’s gonna be a good one.

HEAVY Mastodon (pictured) co-headlines with Primus at the Avila Beach Golf Resort on June 28, in a beach concert brought to you by Otter Productions, Inc. STARKEY from page 36

Mammoth metal!

Just a quick reminder that Primus and co-headliner Mastodon play the Avila Beach Golf Resort this Thursday, June 28, in a beach concert brought to you by Otter Productions, Inc. (gates at 5 p.m.; all ages; $40 to $249 at eventbrite. com).

I told you about all things Les Claypool and Primus last week, so let’s talk about Mastodon, an Atlanta-based heavy metal band not to be confused with the Christian rock band Mastodon.

In case you’re unfamiliar, Mastodon has a very prog-rock sound that’s grown increasingly focused and refined over the course of their seven studio albums, most recently 2017’s Emperor of Sand, their most commercially successful album to date, which featured the singles “Show Yourself” (No. 4 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs chart); “Steambreather” (No. 18); and “Sultan’s Curse,” which won the 2018 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.

Expect two super heavy, super talented bands to rain down some metal goodness all over you!

Mexican tigers!

Norteño music legends Los Tigres del Norte play Vina Robles Amphitheatre this Saturday, June 30 (8 p.m.; all ages; $55 to $75 at vinaroblesamphitheatre. com). These seven-time Grammy and eight-time Latin Grammy award-winners are one of the biggest names in Latin music, selling more than 37 million records, 24 No. 1 albums, and more than 50 No. 1 singles.

A Billboard magazine cover story declared the band “the most influential regional Mexican group in the United States … Los Tigres del Norte are not just another PHOTO COURTESY OF JANE DAVIS

popular musical act. … Instead, they’re widely viewed as the voice of the people.”

Their most recent No. 1 album, Realidades (Realities), finds the group wearing “the mantle of social messengers for their community, detailing truelife stories of danger, discrimination, and social rejection often faced by both Mexican and Mexican-American fans on either side of the border,” according to their press materials.

Don’t expect stereotypical Latino machismo. In 2015, the band was honored

by GLAAD for their song “Era Diferente,” perhaps the first Norteño song to advocate for LGBT tolerance. ¡Viva Los Tigres!

More music …

Ultra-talented singer-songwriter Dulcie Taylor, who recently released another amazing album—Better Part of Me—on Black Iris Records, plays Paso’s Concerts in the Park this Thursday, June 28 (6 to 8 p.m.; all ages; free).

Taylor writes socially conscious and politically savvy songs as well as insightful explorations of romantic complexities.

Back in the 1990s, there was a local band inspired by the sounds of Medeski, Martin, and Wood, and the 1970s electric sounds of Miles Davis, James Brown, and Parliament/Funkadelic. That band was Functus, a tighter-than-a-drum trio featuring Steve Campbell, Jacob Odell, and Dylan Johnson. They enjoyed quite a run both locally and beyond, but eventually the various members spread across the country, with only Johnson staying local and playing in a number of different bands and genres. Well, the trio is reuniting for a very rare reunion this Friday, June 29, at Sweet Springs Saloon (9 p.m.; 21-and-older; free). Get funked!

Central Valley band August returns to the Central Coast for two gigs this weekend, on Friday, June 29, on the

Avila Beach promenade (4 to 8 p.m.; all ages; free); and Saturday, June 30, at Rancho Nipomo BBQ (8 to 11 p.m.; $15 at the door). This 10-piece Latin rock juggernaut has been playing together since 1974, and they frequently play the Tequila Festival. Good stuff!

SLOFolks presents Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters this Saturday, June 30, at Castoro Cellars (7p.m.; all ages; $25 at castorocellars.com/events or by calling (805) 238-0725). “We’re thrilled to open our summer series at the Castoro outdoor stage with this awesome up-and-coming group out of Asheville, NC,” SLOFolks wrote in an email. “They’ve been making waves across the country with Amanda’s fresh, crisp songwriting and singing, coupled with the band’s distinctive oldschool country Americana sound. There is an empathetic and charming wit engrained in Amanda’s songwriting.

She has a knack for accessing a deep well of emotion and applying it to her storytelling, whether she is writing from her own experiences or immersing herself into the melody of emotions in another person’s life.”

Do you love classic rock songs but yearn for some new material? Look no further than AJM Band fronted by songwriter Andrew Jay Magnuson. The band will soon release The Hard Way, a new collection of straight ahead rock ’n’ roll in the same vein as Aerosmith, Black Crowes, and the Rolling Stones. They play Pine Street Saloon this Saturday, June 30, and the Grover Sizzlin’ Summer Concert Series on Sunday, July 1, leading up to their album release party at D’Anbino’s on Saturday, July 14. ∆ Keep up with New Times Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey via Twitter at twitter. com/glenstarkey, friend him at facebook. com/glenstarkey, or contact him at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Murders, memoirs, and Mother Nature

Annette McGivney, author of five books including Pure Land: A True Story of Three Lives, Three Cultures, and the Search for Heaven on Earth, will speak at three San Luis Obispo County Library Branches in July. Her novel Pure Land is a unique narrative nonfiction book—part true crime, part memoir—following the brutal murder of Tomomi Hanamure, who was stabbed to death while hiking.

McGiveny will make appearances at the SLO Library on July 18 at 5 p.m. in the Community Room, the Morro Bay Library on July 24 at 1:30 p.m., and at the Atascadero Library on July 21 at 5 p.m.

The book has received high praise since it was released in October 2017. Pure Land was the first pick for Outside magazine’s online book club, and it received the Excellence in Storytelling Award from the Coconino Center for the Arts.

McGivney is also the Southwest editor for Backpacker magazine and a journalism professor at Northern Arizona University.

She also writes for Outside, Arizona Highways, Sunset, and other outdoor and environmental publications.

For more information on her speaking engagements in SLO County, visit slolibrary.org.

Education and development through art The California Arts Council recently awarded an Arts Education grant of $15,300 to the Foundation for the Performing Arts Center and Cal Poly Arts. The grant will be used to support the School Matinee Program and Poly Arts for Youth.

The School Matinee Program and Poly Arts for Youth focus on bringing San Luis Obispo County students to free Performing Arts Center performances. More than 50 percent of these students attend Title I designated schools, which primarily serve students from low-income households with little or no access to the arts.

Poly Arts for Youth, Cal Poly Arts’ education enrichment program, enables performers to engage directly with students in their classrooms and auditoriums, lead master classes, and hold community workshops, according to Steve Lerian, director for Cal Poly Arts.

“We are very proud to partner with the foundation for this grant,” Lerian said. “Both of our organizations want to ensure that no student is ever turned away from the arts.” Δ

DANCE MEETS CIRCUS At Levity Academy in San Luis Obispo, co-owner Lei Lei de Kirby strives to blend dance and aerial arts on apparatuses like aerial fabric.

Suspended Motion Aerial Arts rebrands as Levity Academy

T

here’s an overwhelming sense of calm as you walk into the industrial space at 207 Suburban Road in San Luis Obispo.

Sunlight peeks through the partially opened garage door, shining onto pristine white walls and sparkling mirrors. Vibrant purple and teal silks hang from the ceiling and carefully placed greenery brings the outdoors inside. It feels more like a yoga studio than a circus school, but in truth Levity Academy is both.

The aerial arts studio tucked away on the south end of town had a soft opening in April, but it’s both old and new—the brain child of Gigi Penton, former co-owner of Suspended Motion Aerial Arts, and Lei Lei de Kirby, who has developed the Levity brand over a number of years as a performer and aerial yoga teacher trainer.

When Penton’s former partner at Suspended Motion moved to Utah, she and de Kirby saw an opportunity.

“It just made more sense to expand the Levity brand rather than make Suspended Motion into something that Levity already is,” Penton said.

So the duo, who met at a festival in Bug Sur, moved their students out of World Rhythm and Motion Studio, where Suspended Motion had been renting space, and right next door into a spot that’s all their own.

Admittedly, de Kirby likes her studio space like she likes her choreography: professional, clean, creative, and organized.

“As a person I’m very particular when it comes it comes to style, so really, Levity is just my personal style, you know wood, plants, clean, very clean, everything from the silks to the floors to the mirrors,” de

Kirby said. “It’s just authentic to who I am.

It’s just an extension of my home.”

Aside from the new name and new space, what else has changed? Students can look forward to additions like a pre-professional program for kids and teens, an aerial yoga teacher training taught on the aerial hammock by de Kirby in September, and frequent workshops from artists outside the Central Coast who de Kirby has met and worked with in her international teaching and performing career. The duo also hopes to expand Cirque de Lorria, the studio’s annual circus arts show that had its debut performance at Cal Poly’s Spanos Theatre in March.

In addition to offering apparatuses like aerial silks, lyra, trapeze, and rope, Levity Academy also boasts more unusual offerings like a metal crescent moon, a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, a chandelier, and aerial ladders.

“What’s your dream?” Penton said. “We may already have it.”

In addition to having a staff of five aerial instructors, the studio also employs teacher assistants so that there are more eyes on the students hanging 20 or 30 feet up in the air.

While Penton and de Kirby are very much focused on growing their community in SLO, they do see the potential for Levity Academy to expand beyond the Central Coast, provided they find the right artist to partner and franchise with.

“It isn’t just something where you decide ‘I would like to open one of these,’” de Kirby said. “This person needs to be skilled in the craft, they need to be highly skilled in the art form and really dedicated to the growth of aerial arts in general. Aerial arts is a real crossover between aerial and dance. Aerial in SLO is more of a creative art form and of course high-flying, fantastic stuff.” Δ Arts Editor Ryah Cooley is hanging out at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

SOMETHING NEW In April, Gigi Penton (left) and Lei Lei de Kirby (right), friends and new co-owners, began to transition Suspended Motion Aerial Arts to the new Levity Academy in a space on Suburban Road in SLO.

By the Sea spoofs British whodunits with Jack Sharkey’s The Murder Room

H

ave you ever wondered what it would be like to play a round of Clue with Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, and possibly a few key members of Monty Python? To quote actor and motivational speaker Shia LaBeouf, “don’t let your dreams be dreams.” That particular aspiration may never come true, but By the Sea Productions’ take of The Murder Room comes pretty close.

Chrys Barnes directs this rendition of Jack Sharkey’s madcap parody of British murder mysteries, which mainly pokes fun at the tropes found in Agatha Christie’s detective novels. The setting is Yorkshire, present day, although the absence of cell phones—not to mention the fact that the only phone that does appear has a rotary dial—supports a timeless atmosphere. When Inspector James Crandall (Ed Cardoza, whose resume includes SLO Rep’s The Drowsy Chaperone and Cambria Center for the Arts’ Fuddy Meers) is called upon to investigate the disappearance of the mysterious, recently remarried Edgar Hollister (Greg DeMartini), he quickly suspects foul play.

The inspector, with assistance from Constable Abel Howard (also played by DeMartini), calls a few suspects into question. The first of which is the missing person’s new bride, Mavis (Deirdre Loy), a young, gold digger type whose marriage to Edgar is less than a week old. Edgar’s daughter from his first marriage, Susan (Sarah Smith, who also starred in By the Sea’s 2017 production of And Then There Were None), who has a sizable inheritance coming her way, also makes the list. Last, but certainly not least, is Edgar’s maid, Lottie (Lisa Pekarek).

NOSFERATU? Little does Mavis Templeton Hollister (Deirdre Loy) know, someone is about to switch off the lights.

Fanciful farce

The Murder Room will show through July 15 at St. Peter’s By the Sea Episcopal Church in Morro Bay. Tickets range from $15 to $20 and are available at the door or in advance at my805tix.com. Call (805) 776-3287 or visit bytheseaproductions.org for more information.

While Crandall and Howard try their darndest to crack the case, we, the audience, know who the killer is from the opening scene. A lot of the play’s funniest moments come from watching the murderer nervously squirm under escalating circumstances throughout the investigation. And although Murder Room is clearly a spoof, full of breaking the fourth wall, silly handshakes, and impromptu dance sessions, it actually works as an effective mystery. We know the identity of the culprit from the get-go, but there are enough twists and turns along the way to keep us in the dark about other aspects of the story (I mean, they caught me off guard). One particular character revelation

near the end made me audibly gasp before uttering a well-deserved “yasss.”

Every member of the cast, which also includes David Rosenblatt as Barry Draper, Susan’s unassumingly astute fiancé, is vibrant and perfectly over-thetop in their respective roles. Each actor gets more than a few chances to chew up the scenery, and they all do so with flying colors. Overall, By the Sea’s Murder Room proves, as the best examples of community theater often do, that you don’t have to act for a living to be good at it.

“I fell in love with the theater at a very young age.” Pekarek, who labels acting as an addiction rather than a hobby, wrote in the show’s program. “But thanks to my father, who insisted that acting wasn’t a ‘real job’, I’ve been doomed to a boring 9 to 5 life. Thank goodness for community theater!” Δ Calendar Editor Caleb Wiseblood did it, with a candlestick, in the dining room. Contact him at cwiseblood@newtimesslo.com.

.A. Bayona (The Orphanage, The Impossible, A Monster Calls) directs this follow up to Jurassic World (2015), which was about an island dinosaur park and a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur that goes on a killing spree and brings down the park. Three years later, the island has been abandoned and left to the dinosaurs, but then the island’s dormant volcano rumbles to life, threatening to kill all the dinosaurs. Claire Dearing (Bruce Dallas Howard) and Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) mount a rescue mission, but do the powers that be have an ulterior motive to funding their attempt?

(128 min.)

Glen It wouldn’t be wrong to call this new entry into the Jurassic series formulaic, paint-by-numbers, and rote, but should we expect anything more? After all, like most franchises, its purpose is to sell tickets and give audiences what they want, which is more of the same.

Don’t go into Fallen Kingdom expecting anything fresh or original, but if you have a hankering for more dino mayhem,

condemnation of human hubris and greed, a child in peril and in need of a savior, and pithy dialogue wrapped in a slick, well-directedand-acted, ultra-expensive blockbuster—booyah! You got it! After the opening set piece on Isla Nublar where we see mercenaries doing nefarious stuff and then a cut to a U.S. Senate meeting trying to determine if the island’s remaining dinosaurs should be rescued or left to perish in the volcano, we’re introduced to our Dinosaur Protection Group, led by Claire, the group also includes feisty dino veterinarian Zia Rodriguez (Daniella Pineda) and nerdy tech expert Franklin Webb (Justice Smith). Claire gets a call from Jurassic Park founder John Hammond’s former partner Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell), promising a well-funded humanitarian mission to save as many dinosaurs as possible before the volcano blows. There’s just one catch: Lockwood and his right-hand man Eli Mills (Rafe Spall) really want her to save Blue, the velociraptor trained by Owen. Faster than you can say “sexual tension,” Claire has enlisted Owen and they’re off to Isla Nublar to meet Ken Wheatley (Ted Levine), who’s leading the security team.

Do things go as planned? It wouldn’t be a Jurassic World movie if they did!

The action is exciting, the characters are engaging, and the dinosaurs are ferocious! Mission accomplished.

MAKE BELIEVE Documentary filmmakers explore the man behind the popular children’s television show Mister Roger’s Neighborhood in the movie Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

MOVIES from page 45 the first Incredbles came out. I still have trouble believing that even though I just wrote it. Which is why I was all the more impressed with Bird’s follow-up for his super-powered family. It should be commended how he and the animation team at Disney’s Pixar managed to be true to the original without kowtowing to modern trends. And while the film may be a shade darker than the first iteration, this new installment delivers on just about everything it promises and should leave families entertained until the next chapter arrives in theaters (which hopefully comes sooner than a decade and a half).

The new super villain that the Incredibles (well, mainly Helen) are up against this time is the Screen Slaver, a nemesis who uses our enslavement to technology to hypnotize his victims using any screen around. In this state, the Screen Slaver can get anyone to do his evil bidding and they won’t even remember it later. At the same time, the Screen Slaver is very anti-technology and thinks people are overly dependent on it at the expense of actually living life, which seems a bit ironic.

I would have liked to have seen a deeper exploration of gender roles, but kind of get that doing so would have made the movie even longer (and at 118 minutes this one is asking a lot of its younger audiences, even with multiple action scenes and an endless array of power displays). The film is certainly not without its missteps, specifically in how it handles Frozone’s wife, Honey (voice of Kimberly Adair Clark), who we only hear nagging her husband, we never see her. She really does just feel like a recycled gag from 2004’s Incredibles.

How hard would it have been to design a character and give her some meaningful screen time besides reducing her to some cheap foil for Jackson’s Frozone to briefly interact with?

As for the villain reveal of the Screen Slaver, it’s not going to come as a shock to seasoned moviegoers but may catch a few distracted parents, and especially kids, off guard. That being said, I have to hand it to Bird for how he packages an action sequence and his apparent skill at pairing together super powers for battles like a sommelier with fine wine. The folks over at Marvel Studios could learn a lot from these films in terms of crafting fight scenes that, although almost always formulaic, can still be delivered in ways that make them feel fresh. Bird proves that multiple times throughout Incredibles 2 (just watch Elastigirl interact with her bike and try to tell me that’s not some cool out-of-the-box thinking for a chase scene involving a human being essentially made

of indestructible rubber). I also wanted to take a minute to commend Bird’s choice to leave cell phones out of the picture, allowing his film to flex its muscles without pocket-sized distractions. It truly speaks to the traditionalist bent of the series, which seems to draw from 1950s era super hero shows and comics, as much as even earlier, “Golden Age” science fiction classics. Bird gives audiences a glimpse of how his generation and those before him viewed the future, and while those dreams may be dated, they still come across as new, exciting, and utterly unique, and that’s pretty incredible.

that discriminated by gender, her tenure on the Supreme Court that’s been defined by her scathing dissents, and the ways in which she’s inspired a new generation of women, becoming a cultural phenomenon at the ripe age of 85.

Beyond those highlights, RBG offers a poignant portrayal of Ginsburg as a person, her reserved and steely yet sweet temperament, and her genuinely beautiful marriage. Filmmakers Betsy West and Julie Cohen really capture Ginsburg’s humanity through interviews with her, her friends, and family members, which add a valuable layer of depth to the documentary.

Ginsburg, a Brooklyn native, entered Harvard Law School in 1956 as one of nine women in a class of 500. She juggled her coursework with caring for both her baby and her husband, who had fallen ill with cancer (but ultimately survived). After graduating, she struggled to find law work as a female professional, despite being at the top of her class. Ginsburg eventually became a professor at Columbia University, where she pioneered a class on gender discrimination.

In the ’70s, Ginsburg argued a series of discrimination cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. Here, West and Cohen manage to make what could have been a dry rundown of court cases compelling and dramatic. They tracked down the plaintiffs on these cases, who had faced genderbased discrimination ranging from unequal pay to unequal benefits as military service members. RBG weaves original audio from Ginsburg’s oral arguments with commentary from Ginsburg and others to drive home the historical significance of those cases. Almost singlehandedly, Ginsburg changed the legal landscape for all women in the country.

RBG begins and ends with exploring her legacy, particularly among the newest generation of Americans. As the Supreme Court turned more and more conservative in the early 2000s, Ginsburg’s dissenting opinions became her signature and drew attention from young progressives. At 85 years old today, her spunk and sharp intellect are widely adored. T-shirts labeled “Notorious RBG” have become a hit, and goofy web images with her face imprinted on various superheroes have gone viral on the Internet. You’d be hard pressed to find a more important living American icon than RBG, and this documentary proves it. (97 min.)

confusing as to who our protagonist is.

Without someone to root for, this tangled web of lover’s woes can feel tiresome.

First we have Konstantin (Billy Howle) and Nina (Saoirse Ronan), a young couple in love. He’s an aspiring playwright and she’s an aspiring actress. Just like in On Chesil Beach, Howle and Ronan are once more believably matched up as being hopelessly in love with one another for the first time.

Then there’s Irina (Annette Benning,

The Kids Are All Right), an aging actress and critical mother to Konstantin, and her younger lover and successful writer Boris Trigorin (Corey Stoll, House of Cards).

Rounding out the cast is the housekeeper, Polina (Mare Winningham, Philomena), and the doctor, Dorn (Jon Tenney, You Can Count On Me), who are having a secret affair. And Elizabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale) plays Masha, the daughter of Polina, who drinks excessively and wears all black and is “in mourning for her life,” as she is desperately in love with Konstantin, who as you’ll remember is hopelessly in love with Nina.

As Konstantin struggles with his own writing, his envy for the success Boris has in his career turns into an insane jealously when Nona begins fan-girling hard for the famous older writer, who in turn looks upon the young country girl with the hungry look of a predator. You see where this is going.

We reach peak madness and viewers are hit over the head repeatedly with symbolism and foreshadowing when Konstantin shoots a seagull and lays the dead bird at Nina’s feet and Boris writes a few ideas down in his notebook for a story about a girl from the country who happily lives by the lake like a seagull. Hmmm…

While almost all the characters and subplots are maddeningly frustrating at one point or another, Moss steals every scene that she’s in as the somber, bitter, and achingly in love Masha. After a drink or two, she declares to Boris that she will simply rip the love she has for Konstantin out of her heart. When Boris asks how she’ll do that, Masha replies, with a deadpan delivery, “I’ll get married,” bringing humor, sadness, and absurdity to a very real, heartfelt moment.

While the film is hardly a study in how real people in love act, if you choose to view The Seagull as a farce of love, sadness, and tragedy and enjoy the acting talents of this star-studded cast, it’s a much more enjoyable time. (98 min.)

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Matinee

Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Sunset Drive-In, Galaxy Ron Howard (Splash, Cocoon, Backdraft, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, The Da Vinci Code) directs this Han Solo (Alden Ehreneich) origin story, set long before the rebellion, which explores how the cocky pilot met both Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) and notorious gambler Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover). The film also stars Woody Harrelson as Tobias Beckett, a smuggler; Thandie Newton as Tobias’ wife Val Beckett; Emilia Clarke as Qi’ra, Han’s childhood friend; Paul Bettany as crime lord Dryden Vos; Jon Favreau as alien Rio Durant; and Linda Hunt as the voice of Lady Proxima.

Solo started with two different directors who were fired over “creative differences” before Howard took over, so there’s a somewhat disjointed and uneven artistic vision here, but that doesn’t stop the film from being a lot of fun.

We meet Han and Qi’ra living in a slum and dreaming of getting out. The opening set piece is a rousing chase and escape in which we see both Han’s recklessness and bravado. Things don’t quite go as planned, and Han ends up in the imperial army, where his wisecracking nature does him no favors, but that’s also where he meets Tobias and Chewy, who team up for a big heist that leads to another big set piece, this one involving a cargo train.

There’s plenty of action, lots of oneliners, and showdowns between the good guys and the bad guys, not to mention some double crosses and surprises.

In the same tradition of Episodes IV through VI, Solo offers up a classic space Western. It’s not going to win any prizes for originality, but for Star Wars nerds, reverence for the series pays off here as we see the little bits of Han’s backstory we’ve learned from the original films play out. I was wholly entertained.

Frankly, I wasn’t sure about Ehreneich as Han. I grew up watching Harrison Ford and I couldn’t imagine anyone else in the role.

There is a passing resemblance between the young Ford and Ehreneich, but instead of doing an impersonation of Ford as Han, Ehreneich makes the character his own.

Pick

Glover, on the other hand, seems intent on channeling Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian, but he does it so well, it’s a treat to watch. Glover’s star is certainly shining brightly right now. He was great as the host of Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago, and his music video for “This is America” has people talking.

These two characters are interesting enough and the actors have so much natural chemistry together that I would happily see another film with the pair. The story ends in a way that’s begging for a sequel, and I’d love to see Lando and Han meet for another adventure.

Solo is basically a popcorn movie— uncomplicated, emotionally one note, and with little more than entertainment in mind. It’s not the kind of film that sticks with you or challenges viewers in any way, but if you’re looking for an engaging space romp, I think Solo delivers. Be warned, however; it’s one of those rare films with a higher rottentomatoes.com critic rating (71 percent) than audience score (59 percent), so not everyone has liked the film as much a I have.

If you’re the rare person who’s new to the Star Wars franchise, you’d be better off starting here rather than the joyless Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Solo at least knows how to have fun. (145 min.)

Dads, grads, and ironclads One heck of a Father’s Day weekend

I

should be able to predict the weather by now since it’s always the opposite of what I dress for. It’s June 16, the day before Father’s Day, and my parents, sister, and I are heading down to UCSB for my brother’s graduation.

It’s 80 degrees and clear, sunny skies almost all the way there, until we pass Refugio. Of course, it’s chilly and overcast when we get to Isla Vista; my decision to wear a Hawaiian shirt has doomed us all. I didn’t even think to bring a jacket. Luckily we’re early, and since we’re not allowed to claim seats right away (as a separate, ongoing graduation ceremony hasn’t ended yet), we head to the bookstore where I purchase a UCSB sweatshirt to thaw my pale, icy arms.

I’m sure you’ve heard the expression “a PHOTOS BY CALEB WISEBLOOD

POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE The weekend kicks off with my brother’s graduation ceremony. Here he is sandwiched between my parents (notice their adorable, matching shirts).

Mustang in Gauchos’ clothing?” That’s me today. And as soon as I exit the store, it’s warm outside. But hey, what else was I gonna spend that $40 on? Probably churros at Disneyland, which is where we’re heading after the ceremony.

We actually manage to snag some pretty good seats close to the stage. All eyes are on the procession of graduates as “Pomp and Circumstance” plays. We look for my brother, of course. My mom is already in tears before we even spot him.

Maybe my dad is too, but he’s wearing sunglasses so I can’t tell. But I know he’s proud. What else can I say? After an eternity of names are announced, we finally hear my brother’s. He meets us after that. There’s hugging, crying, and lots of Snapchatting. Then we hit the road. Next stop: Anaheim!

Well, that’s not true. We stop for dinner in LA first, then we head to the motel.

After that, six hours of sleep are all that divide us from Sunday morning. Dad opens a few Father’s Day gifts before we rush to the park (I got him two vinyls, one Cat Stevens, one Linda Ronstadt). Once in Disneyland, our primary objective is to conquer all the mountains first. And there ain’t no mountain higher than Space Mountain. We head there with the

intention of getting a Fast Pass, but we end up just jumping in line (it’s only a 40-minute wait, surprisingly). This is the first shred of evidence that the park is less crowded than we were expecting.

One by one, we ride. Splash. Thunder.

Matterhorn. Indiana Jones (I consider him part of the mountain family). All are conquered before the sun goes down, some even twice. We catch the fireworks show and browse the various shops on Main Street before our departure. Exiting those Disneyland gates and stepping back into reality is always tough. Just gotta remember that the real world has plenty of its own mountains we’ve yet to conquer.

Plenty of haunted mansions too! Δ Calendar Editor Caleb Wiseblood used ‘ironclads’ in the headline as a reference to the Finding Nemo ride (it’s a submarine, close enough). Contact him at cwiseblood@ newtimesslo.com.

New Times in San Luis Obispo is looking for its next arts editor, but we’re not looking for just any art-ogling, content-wrangling, copy-editing someone.

Are you sick of editing or regurgitating press releases about nothing exciting day after day?

Or maybe it’s those damn list things—you know the ones: “Top 10 ironic places to find hipsters painting lemons on top of bicycles.” Or maybe it’s just not being able to put the time and reporting into a story that deserves it: the weeks and repeated meet-and-greets that give a story what it needs to ripen into the nuanced, spellbinding narrative it’s dying to be.

Can you find the unassuming local artist who’s about to blow a hole in the status quo? Do you know what it means to find the culture that matters to a community—the stuff that gives a population its heartbeat, its soul? That sweet spot where culture, politics, art, and society collide into a massive chaotic hurricane of beautiful expression. Can you nurture that ability in somebody else and help coax it out of his or her stories?

If so, then you’re exactly who we’re looking for: an arts editor who isn’t afraid to manage a section and the people who come with it, someone who isn’t afraid to take on the tedious, the tenuous, or the talented. That quiet giant who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to San Luis Obispo County. It’s not all about vineyards, rolling hills, and pounding surf brushed with light, ethereal watercolors (although that’s definitely here). It’s about that human element and where creativity lives. Can you find it?

Let us know if you’ve got what it takes. We dare you. Send résumé and clips to Cindy Rucker at crucker@newtimesslo.com.

BY HAYLEY THOMAS CAIN PHOTOS COURTESY OF MALENE

Coming up rosés Malene Airstream is mobile mecca for pink drinks

Y

ou’ll know it when you see it.

Cruise past Chamisal Vineyards on Orcutt Road in Edna Valley, then hang your next right. Turn down the unassuming dirt driveway and prepare to be dazzled.

Or, more accurately, blinded.

You can’t miss it. Smooth metallic curves catch the Central Coast sun, causing you to reach for your trusty RayBans. It is a flashy and unexpected sight surrounded by manicured green lawn, native plants, and lush vines.

Yes, I am speaking of the classic 1969 Airstream trailer that summer dreams are made of.

Is it a mirage? Some psychedelic oasis?

No, you have not been transported into some groovy Palm Springs postcard.

You’ve just hit the Malene Scene, and yes, that’s the name of the trailer (vintage trailer enthusiasts know any good specimen should have its own name, color scheme, and backstory).

A sister winery to Chamisal Vineyards, the Malene Wines trailer is a fully equipped mobile tasting room. She is roadready and willing to wander, yet will live mostly in this corner of scenic Edna Valley, sticking out like the Tin Man’s sore thumb.

As you may have already gathered, this isn’t your family’s old silver bullet rusting in the backyard.

The Malene Scene—customized specifically for mobile enjoyment of rosé—is a swanky experience, a place where faux fur collides with rose gold corkscrews. Fitted with a state-of-the-art wine tap, it may truly be the first of its kind in California.

The Malene label rosé wines served here are as pink and plush as you’d expect; yet the flavors are more fresh, modern; and acid driven than the classic rosé you may be used to.

By design, you will not find a trace of earthy pinot noir or toasty chardonnay in this trailer (although you can get both at Chamisal, or any other neighboring winery).

This one’s for those who think pink and take that title seriously.

Since June 1, rosé lovers have cozied up inside the new trailer (way roomier than you’d think, it fits about a dozen people).

Eager to get their hands on more than one rosé at once, fans have been known to sprawl out on the lawn with a picnic, soaking up a new kind of SLO wine experience. Drip a little rosé on your white tee? No problem! Purple wine lips? Nope.

Finally, a place for those who celebrate the lighter side of life!

On this sunny afternoon, it’s just me and Malene winemaker Fintan “Fin” du Fresne, who is currently donning a baby

@flavorslo MAN IN PINK Chamisal Vineyards and Malene Wines Winemaker and General Manager Winemaker Fintan “Fin” du Fresne has thrown a modern, Californian twist on the classic rosés of Provence, France. He is also the owner of the new business Winery Mechanical Systems, which aims to service SLO County’s wine industry with mechanical repairs and maintenance.

pink Malene logo tee. With so much work invested in the wine, the brand, and this mobile masterpiece, this project has nothing to do with “rosé all day” memes or the kind of sweet, “blush” abominations you’ll find in mysterious boxes or jugs.

For du Fresne, who you may already know as the winemaker for Chamisal and owner of Winery Mechanical Systems, the “p” in “pink” stands proudly for Provence.

As in, “Provence, France.”

“Malene, at its heart, is a Californian spin on Provence. If you were to go to any winery in Provence, you will find that the wines are very rosé centric,” du Fresne says.

In addition to rosé, Malene makes a fine, refreshing vermentino (although the team prefer to call it by the French name, “rolle”).

If you already adore rosé, you probably know about this magical land—a place where pink wines are not an

ROSÉCOLORED GLASSES Just in time for summer, Malene Wines is throwing open the doors of its 1969 Malene Scene Airstream Overlander trailer and inviting one and all to taste elegant and modern rosé releases.

Roomier than it looks, this wine tasting room on wheels is large enough to accommodate a tasting bar and cozy enough for good conversation to flow between about a dozen people.

Hitch a rosé ride

The Malene Scene tasting trailer is open Fridays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 7767 Orcutt Road in San Luis Obispo, although it can venture out to new places, too. Stop by Chamisal Vineyards for a Lobster Fest event this July 13 featuring the Malene Scene and Malene rosé. For more information, go to malenewines.com

afterthought, but a true discipline. The Provence region of southeastern France extends from the left bank of the lower Rhône River to the west, to the Italian border to the east, and is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the south.

“The hardest part was spending so much time in Provence,” du Fresne says with a laugh (he knows his life appears ridiculously dreamy, but I assure you, he’s got dirt under his nails). “The research and development trips were fun, but surprisingly exhausting. We were visiting three to five wineries per day, meeting with winemakers, tasting a lot of rosé, with hours of driving between wineries. It was intense, but worth it.”

Plus, the winemaker says with an impish smile—in Provence, “You can always go to the beach and take a swim after a long day.”

When you think about it, this region

of SLO isn’t too far removed from that dream. The coast is nearby; the terroir exceptional; and, now, the interest for rosé has truly ripened. This was not so a decade ago, when du Fresne first got the idea to ramp up rosé.

“There has always been this misconception in the U.S.; white wines and rosé are wines for beginners. People think they are showing that they are an expert because they only drink red wines.

Well guess what? In the industry that shows that you are a novice, saying I don’t drink whites,” du Frense says. “Just about everywhere else in the world, rosé is not something winemakers really concentrate on, it’s just something that they do. That is really what we were seeing until about 2015.”

Ah, 2015. The year the Malene label and its first vintage was born; the year rosé went “mainstream,” on Instagram and across hip urban wine bar menus; the year young foodies and even old, stodgy wine critics began craning their necks to take a second whiff of the pink stuff.

Dare I say this was the year subtle became the new bold?

“I remember working at a winery in 2005: The owners were asking how much rosé they should bottle and I remember telling them to bottle a lot of rosé because it was going to be the next big thing,” du Fresne says. “Well, I was about 10 years too early.”

take on rosé is primed for its closeup on the Central Coast. More fresh, dry, low alcohol, acid driven rosés are popping up across the region, from Paso Robles to Santa Barbara.

“The people who are seeking out rosé are wine savvy, and they skew young and female,” du Frense says, adding that he has a theory that rosé-swilling men—to their credit—tend to be a bit more in touch with their feminine side.

However, “easy drinking” does not mean “easy to make.”

Malene grapes are selected from Santa Barbara County with an eye toward making the best rosé (i.e. grapes picked specifically for these rosé wines; they are not leftovers that didn’t make it into a bolder red).

Sip the Malene lineup fresh from the tap, which includes a delightful 2017 flagship cuvée, plus a newly released Bandol-style rosé of mourvèdre, and a rosé of Grenache, made from 44-year-old vines.

“Rosé is difficult to make because it’s got to be really good. Rosé is one of the most technical wines to make. If you turn your head on a rosé, it can go south.

It oxidizes really easily; you can have too little, or too much color. It is a very transparent wine prone to issues,” du Fresne says. “Its hard to get right.”

It’s very good, then, that folks are waking up to the pink, and appreciating the very real work that goes into that breezy blush you’ll soon be pairing with all your fish tacos, pastas, and grilled summer veggies.

“It’s happening,” du Fresne says.

“When we show three rosés, tasters are no longer shocked. It used to be that most consumers would say, ‘Why would you make three rosés?’ Now people are saying, ‘Tell me about these wines; what makes them different?’ They are tasting the difference.” Δ Hayley Thomas Cain takes rosé pretty seriously, but will still add ice cubes to her glass as needed.

Are you sick of me talking about trendy, picture-ready rosé yet? Before you skip over this blurb and assign it to the “millennials are ruining everything” bin, consider this. Brosé! Yes, beerfreaking-rosé (because millennials indeed are ruining everything and nothing is sacred). Silva Brewing in Paso Robles has created its own trend-setting sparkling rosé beer and—yeah—it’s a blush-colored beaut! This light pink beer was made possible by locally sourced Grenache grapes courtesy of Denner Vineyards in Paso Robles. “The Pink Stuff” is the 19th beer release from brewer Chuck Silva’s wild brain in little more than 18 months of operating the new brewhouse (someone stop him; he’s obviously a mad man). But how is this freak of nature made, you ask? Well, it has nothing to do with unicorns, although it kinda sounds like it would, right? The juice is co-fermented with a kettle sour ale in French oak barrels that previously housed white wine using a French saison yeast strain. A separate cinsault grape and black currant cofermentation adds a touch more color and fruit character to the finished blend, which features strawberry, watermelon, and raspberry notes (OK, yum). The beer is finished with champagne yeast for lively conditioning creating an effervescent light-pink head that fades into a salmon-colored beverage. Some might say it’s “refreshingly fruity and slightly tart with a dry, spritzy finish.” I say it’s what my millennial dreams are made of.

A limited supply of The Pink Stuff is available for purchase in cork-finished 510-milliliter Italian-sourced Tosca bottles at the Silva Brewing tasting room, located at 525 Pine St., Suite B, in downtown Paso Robles.

Residential: 5-35 Gallon Waste Containers

* Maximum Volume and Weight per garbage can: 35 Gallons / 40 pounds Service Description Commercial: 10-35 Gallon Waste Containers

* Maximum Volume and Weight per garbage can: 35 Gallons / 40 pounds MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES – ALL CUSTOMERS: Returned Check Fee: $35.00 each BASIS FOR THE PROPOSED RATE INCREASES The Proposed Rate Increases are necessary for the Garbage Service to continue to provide safe and reliable solid waste removal, transportation and disposal services to the citizens of California Valley CSD. The increase is requested are due to increasing operational costs. Several factors have contributed to these increased costs, including, but not limited to, the rising costs associated with the operation of the Garbage Service, increased costs associated with operation and fuel for vehicles, ongoing maintenance, increased labor costs, and increased costs associated with meeting more stringent State and Federal regulations.

ANNUAL ADJUSTMENTS TO PROPOSED RATE INCREASE The District provides that revenue derived from rates should reasonably be expected to generate sufficient revenues to provide for Garbage compensation as calculated in accordance with the "City of San Luis Obispo Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Integrated Solid Waste Management Rates". The Proposed Rate Increase Resolution, to be considered by the District Board of Directors on 5-22-2018 _, would authorize the District, without conducting a majority protest hearing, to adjust solid waste disposal rates annually based on findings:

• That the requested increase is limited to the Garbage Service increased costs of providing services consistent with the City of San Luis Obispo's Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Integrated Solid Waste Management Rates; and

• Does not exceed the prior twelve (12) month percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

PROTEST: Under Proposition 218, if you are the owner of record of a parcel or parcels directly liable for payment of the garbage bill, you may submit a written protest against the proposed changes presented in the notice.

Only one protest will be counted towards the majority protest per affected property. If written protests are filed by a majority of the affected owners the proposed rate increase will not be imposed. Oral comments at the public hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written protest.

Written protests regarding the proposed solid waste rate increase may be mailed to: CVCSD C/O SHIPSEY AND SEITZ INCORPORATED, ATTORNEY AT LAW 1066 PALM STREET SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA 93401 To be valid a protest must be in writing and received BEFORE the close of the public hearing on JULY 9, 2018.

If you have questions about the Proposed Rate Increase, please call the District at (805) 475-2211.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Recorded 3/22/2013 as Instrument No. 2013-016197 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of San Luis Obispo County, California. Date of Sale: 7/12/2018 at 11:00 AM. Place of Sale: In the breezeway adjacent to the County General Services Bldg. located at 1087 Santa Rosa St., San Luis Obispo, CA 93401. Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $68,091.47. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 3530 El Camino Real Atascadero, CA 93422. A.P.N.: 049-213-003. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of the monies paid to the trustee and the successful bidder shall have no recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (805) 543-7088 or visit this Internet Web site www.eloandata.com , using the file number assigned to this case 41970.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Date: 6/14/2018. All American Foreclosure Service, 1363 Marsh Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 (805) 543-7088. Sheryle A. Machado, Trustee Sale Officer June 21, 28, & July 5, 2018

NOTICE: The restraining orders on page 2 are effective against both spouses or domestic partners until the petition is dismissed, a judgment is entered, or the court makes further orders.

These orders are enforceable anywhere in California by any law enforcement officer who has received or seen a copy of them.

AVISO: Las órdenas de restricción que figuran en la página 2 valen para ambos cónyuges o pareja de hecho hasta que se despida la petición, se emita un fallo o la corte dé otras órdenes. Cualquier autoridad de la ley que haya recibido o visto una copia de estas órdenes puede hacerlas acatar en cualquier lugar de California.

FEE WAIVER: If you cannot pay the filing fee, ask the clerk for a fee waiver form. The court may order you to pay back all or part of the fees and costs that the court waived for you or the other party.

PAGE 2: STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from: 1. removing the minor children of the parties from the state or applying for a new or replacement passport for those minor children without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor children; 3. transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party.

You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining order are effective.

WARNING-IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during a marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance.

The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Describe the tree house you would like to build for yourself one day, and what pleasures you would like to pursue there.

Write: truthrooster@gmail.com.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your best ideas and soundest decisions will materialize as if by magic while you’re lounging around doing nothing in a worry-free environment. So please make sure you have an abundance of relaxed slack and unhurried grace. Treat yourself to record-setting levels of comfort and self-care. Do whatever’s necessary for you to feel as safe as you have ever felt. I realize these prescriptions might ostensibly clash with your fiery Aries nature. But if you meditate on them for even two minutes, I bet you’ll agree they’re exquisitely appropriate for you right now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “It is always what is under pressure in us, especially under pressure of concealment—that explodes in poetry.” Taurus poet Adrienne Rich wrote that in an essay about the poet Emily Dickinson. She was describing the process of tapping into potent but buried feelings so as to create beautiful works of literature. I’m hoping to persuade you to take a comparable approach: to give voice to what’s under pressure inside you, but in a graceful and constructive way that has positive results.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Introductory offers are expiring. The bracing thrills of novelty must ripen into the cool enjoyments of maturity.

It’s time to finish the dress rehearsals so the actual show can begin. You’ve got to start turning big, bright fantasies into crisp, no-nonsense realities. In light of these shifting conditions, I suspect you can no longer use your good intentions as leverage, but must deliver more tangible signs of commitment. Please don’t take this as a criticism, but the cosmic machinery in your vicinity needs some actual oil, not just your witty stories about the oil and the cosmic machinery.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the coming weeks, you will have an excellent chance to dramatically decrease your Wimp Quotient. As the perilously passive parts of your niceness toughen up, I bet you will encounter brisk possibilities that were previously off-limits or invisible to you. To ensure you remain in top shape for this delightful development, I think you should avoid entertainment that stimulates fear and pessimism. Instead of watching the latest flurry of demoralizing stories on Netflix, spend quality time summoning memories of the times in your life when you were unbeatable. For extra credit, pump your fist 10 times each day as you growl, “Victory is mine!”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s not so bad to temporarily lose your bearings. What’s bad is not capitalizing on the disruption that caused you to lose your bearings. So I propose that you regard the fresh commotion as a blessing. Use it as motivation to initiate radical changes. For example, escape the illusions and deceptions that caused you to lose your bearings. Explore unruly emotions that may be at the root of the superpowers you will fully develop in the future. Transform yourself into a brave selfhealer who is newly receptive to a host of medicinal clues that were not previously accessible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here’s my list of demands: 1. Avoid hanging out with people who are unreceptive to your influence. 2. Avoid hanging out with people whose influence on you is mediocre or dispiriting. 3. Hang out with people who are receptive to your influence and whose influence on you is healthy and stimulating.

4. Influence the hell out of the people who are receptive to your influence. Be a generous catalyst for them. Nudge them to surpass the limits they would benefit from surpassing. 5. Allow yourself to be deeply moved by people whose influence on you is healthy and stimulating.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.” Activist author Audre Lorde said that,

and now, in accordance with your current astrological and psychological needs, I’m offering it to you. I realize it’s a flamboyant, even extreme, declaration, but in my opinion, that’s what is most likely to motivate you to do the right thing. Here’s another splashy prompt, courtesy of philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre: “We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made us.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): André René Roussimoff, also known as André the Giant, was a French actor and professional wrestler. He was 7-foot-4 and weighed 520 pounds. As you might imagine, he ate and drank extravagantly. On one festive occasion, he quaffed 119 bottles of beer in six hours.

Judging from your current astrological indicators, Scorpio, I suspect you may be ready for a binge like that. JUST KIDDING! I sincerely hope you won’t indulge in such wasteful forms of “pleasure.” The coming days should be a time when you engage in a focused pursuit of uplifting and healthy modes of bliss. The point is to seek gusto and amusement that enhance your body, mind, and soul.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): On her 90th birthday, my Great-aunt Zosia told me, “The best gift you can give your ego is to make it see it’s both totally insignificant and totally important in the cosmic scheme of things.” Jenna, my girlfriend when I was 19, was perhaps touting a similar principle when, after teasing and tormenting me for two hours, she scrawled on my bathroom mirror in lipstick, “Sometimes you enjoy life better if you don’t understand it.” Then there’s my Zen punk friend Arturo, who says that life’s goodies are more likely to flow your way if you “hope for nothing and are open to everything.” According to my analysis of the astrological rhythms, these messages will help you make the most of the bewildering but succulent opportunities that are now arriving in your vicinity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In accordance with the astrological beacons, I have selected two pieces of advice to serve as your guiding meditations during the next seven weeks.

You might want to write them on a piece of paper that you will carry in your wallet or pocket. Here’s the first, from businessman Alan Cohen: “Only those who ask for more can get more, and only those who know there is more, ask.” Here’s the second, from writer G. K. Chesterton: “We need to be happy in this wonderland without once being merely comfortable.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Ecologists in Mexico City investigated why certain sparrows and finches use humans’ discarded cigarette butts in building their nests. They found that cellulose acetate, a chemical in the butts, protects the nests by repelling parasitic mites. Is there a metaphorical lesson you might draw from the birds’ ingenious adaptation, Aquarius? Could you find good use for what might seem to be dross or debris? My analysis of the astrological omens says that this possibility is worth meditating on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I suspect that sometime soon you will come into possession of an enchanted potion or pixie dust or a pouch full of magic beans—or the equivalent. If and when that occurs, consider the following protocols: 1. Before you use your new treasure, say a prayer to your higher self, requesting that you will be guided to use it in such a way as to make yourself wiser and kinder. 2. When you use it, be sure it harms no one. 3. Express gratitude for it before and during and after using it. 4. Use it in such a way that it benefits at least one other person or creature in addition to you. 5. See if you can use it to generate the arrival of more pixie dust or magical beans or enchanted potion in the future.

6. When you use it, focus on wielding it to get exactly what you want, not what you sort of want or temporarily want. ∆
