Paso says Salinas Riverbed is a public safety emergency
T
he Paso Robles City Council approved on July 16 a proclamation deeming the Salinas Riverbed and its surrounding area a local public health and safety emergency. Paso Fire Chief Jonathan Stornetta proposed the proclamation and said a mitigation plan will rid the bed of brush and debris that pose a fire hazard and will remove the homeless population that adds to the fire risk. “This truly is an imminent threat to public health and safety, with that I believe we can do this,” Stornetta said. The riverbed encompasses more than 680 acres, much of it heavily forested. According to a staff report, the brush and dead branches provide a significant source of fuel that local entities haven’t been able to address by the city’s annual weed abatement activities, due to restrictive state regulations. The mitigation plan will cost the city $361,600. It proposes three phases of dealing with the material from the riverbed: hiring one sergeant and two police officer positions to assist in the cleanup; enacting a community action team; and retaining a biologist to conduct a habitat assessment of the project area. The goal of the project is to create a roughly 150-foot buffer from the roadway along South and North River Road. According to the report, the buffer will help minimize the fire intensity along the roadway. The proclamation comes on the heels of a June
10 fire in the riverbed, which shut down Niblick Bridge for more than an hour. The Salinas Riverbed dissects the city, and there are three major transportation routes that cross the riverbed in the city: Niblick Bridge, 13th Street, and the Highway 46 bridge. Stornetta said the neighboring community east of the river is at greatest risk of fire SMOKE ON THE WATER A June 10 fire in the Salinas Riverbed escaping the riverbed. burned 3 acres behind Kohls in Paso Robles.

SLO police chief disciplined after leaving gun in restaurant
Derek Johnson said Cantrell will receive three “consequences and follow-up actions”: a one-time pay reduction of $1,598—equivalent to a twoday unpaid suspension—with documentation in her personnel file; training in firearm safety practices; and a personal discussion with all police department members about the incident and the lessons learned that apply to all firearm-carrying officers. During a lunch break at El Pollo Loco in SLO on July 10, Cantrell used a gender-neutral restroom and left her gun behind in it. Realizing her mistake “within minutes,” she went back to retrieve the gun but it was gone. “I was complacent, and that’s something you can never be with a firearm,” Cantrell said later in a videotaped apology on the SLO Police Department (SLOPD)’s Facebook page. Johnson said in the statement that an independent investigation was completed quickly because Cantrell was “transparent and forthcoming” in reporting the incident and cooperated fully during the investigation. Quickly obtained surveillance footage from the restaurant showed that three individuals entered the restroom after Cantrell. The second two people—one a 10-year-old boy—reported having not seen the weapon. SLOPD circulated surveillance images of the first individual, a man, who they believed took the gun. The next day, July 11, at around 7 p.m., a man who identified himself as the brotherin-law of Skeeter Carlos Mangan, 30, of Los Osos, contacted sheriff’s authorities to tell them Mangan had Cantrell’s gun, according to SLOPD officials. The brother-in-law then delivered the weapon to the sheriff substation in Los Osos.

After completing an investigation, the SLOPD was close to filing a case with the SLO County District Attorney’s Office for possible charges against Mangan for possession of stolen property, SLOPD Capt. Chris Staley told New Times on July 17. “Either today or tomorrow,” Staley said. “We looked at a number of different charges.” Police interviews with Mangan indicated that he did not use—and did not have plans to use— the weapon. The gun itself did not have identifying characteristics that would show it belonged to a police officer or Cantrell, Staley said. The incident—the first case of a lost or stolen officer weapon at SLOPD in at least five years— drew both outrage and outpourings of support for Cantrell, who’s helmed SLOPD for 3 1/2 years. Cantrell was lauded by many, including Mayor Heidi Harmon, for taking responsibility for the mistake and welcoming accountability. “My actions were irresponsible and dangerous,” Cantrell said in the apology video. “I expect more from myself as a person and especially as a police officer that’s carried a firearm for 25 years. I expect to be held accountable.” According to the city manager’s office, there were two “unintended city policy violations”: 1) SLO Police Department Policy 311.3.5, “The handgun shall be carried concealed at all times and in such a manner as to prevent unintentional cocking, discharge, or loss of physical control,” and 2) SLO Police Department Policy 339.5.10, “Failure to observe or violating department safety standards or safe working practices.” NEWS continued page 6

Johnson said multiple times in the statement that Cantrell displayed integrity throughout the incident. “I continue to have confidence in Chief Cantrell’s leadership of the police department in a positive and professional manner,” Johnson said, noting that the matter concerning the chief won’t be forwarded to the DA’s Office because it doesn’t meet legal criteria for criminal prosecution. “I have no doubts that this experience will drive Chief Cantrell to be even more vigilant,” Johnson continued in the statement, “in both her leadership of the department and her own personal conduct.” While some residents on social media had called for Cantrell’s termination, others, including many who attended the July 16 council meeting, backed her and her overall record as chief. “I don’t expect law enforcement to be perfect. What I do expect law enforcement to do is to be open and honest and transparent and accountable,” Leola Dublin Macmillan, a resident and member of SLOPD’s Police and Community Together initiative, said to the City Council. “As a black woman living in SLO, I take great comfort in knowing that I have a chief that I don’t worry about covering up the truth.” —Peter Johnson
Coastal Commission approves Morro Bay sewer project
The California Coastal Commission unanimously approved on July 11 plans for the construction of Morro Bay’s Water Reclamation Facility amid community protest. Among the individual residents who spoke against the project during public comment, representatives from Citizens for Affordable Living, Morro Bay Action Team, and Home Front Environmental Justice Morro Bay also expressed their opposition. “This consolidated hearing violates the Coastal Commission’s own mission statement and code based on the substantial amount of Morro Bay residents’ protests against this rate increase, the associated illegal results of the Proposition 218 as dictated by the Morro Bay City Council, and based on the incomplete status of critical studies,” said Dan Sedley, cochair of the Citizens for Affordable Living. In order to fund the nearly $125 million cost of construction, the city held a Proposition 218 hearing to increase
VIEWER DISCRETION household water and sewer bills by a maximum of $41 per month—it passed September 2018. Residents challenged the City Council for not counting 1,000 of the protest votes. The city had deemed them not valid because they were either undated or marked with a date that was prior to the public notice of the proposed rate increase. In 2019, the city counted and validated the protest votes in question, but the resulted amount was not enough to prohibit the council from approving the rate hike. Another funding avenue for the city is a state revolving low-interest loan, which it’s currently applying for, and an Environmental Protection Agency low-interest federal loan. If the city is successfully approves it, such loans could take another $5 to $7 off a month of the surcharge. Protesters also raised the issue of affordability regarding the rate hike, not enough public input, and claimed the city of Morro Bay is rushing the project. Dan Carl, the Coastal Commission’s deputy director, said the commission respectfully disagrees. The surcharge, he said, is meant to pay for the project and ensure a stable funding stream for the future. “As mentioned before, the city has fostered significant local participation including creating a citizen’s advisory committee, having over 50 public meetings on the project over the past two years alone, and making project changes based on that public input,” Carl said. Morro Bay City Manager Scott Collins said there isn’t a rush on the project as it started in 2003. “This commission gave us the proper and appropriate direction to move this massive public infrastructure inland to protect it from coastal hazards and preserve this important infrastructure for future generations,” Collins said. The long anticipated Water Reclamation Facility is slated to be at the intersection of South Bay Boulevard and Highway 1. —Karen Garcia
SLO County supervisors continue hemp ban
Hemp will continue to be illegal to grow commercially in San Luis Obispo County after county supervisors voted 4-1 on July 16 to extend a temporary moratorium on the crop. First passed by the Board of Supervisors in June after SLO County
eat & drink up! 6 • New Times • July 18 - July 25, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com
started accepting hemp applications in May, the moratorium is intended to buy the county time to develop hemp regulations addressing setbacks, zoning, and community capability. The county initially drafted the urgency ordinance after concerns arose from residents, businesses, and wineries in rural communities, like Edna Valley, about the crop. “To me, bad governance is making a decision and not looking at all the ramifications of it and how it’s going to affect the entire community,” 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton said before voting in favor of the policy. The moratorium lasts one year—but supervisors are pushing county officials to complete work on permanent regulations by early 2020 to avoid wiping out another growing season. The county will assemble an advisory group of industry and community members to workshop the elements of an ordinance. “Move as fast as possible,” 1st District Supervisor John Peschong told county administrators. Second District Supervisor Bruce Gibson was the lone dissent against the policy; he said he supported work on long-term hemp rules but opposed the interim ban. “I thought the institute of this urgency ordinance was a bad idea, and I think the extension is also a bad idea,” Gibson said. —Peter Johnson
Los Osos approves new GM
The Los Osos Community Services District unanimously approved Ron Munds, SLO County’s utility division manager, as the district’s general manager July 11, but some community members questioned the selection process. During public comment, resident Emily Miggins said that while she doesn’t question Munds’ qualifications, she didn’t understand the path the board of directors
by Jayson Mellom
took, as there wasn’t a public call or a pool of professionals to choose from. “How many résumés do you have on your desks? In your docket? When you want the best sustainability manager, you seek throughout the state of California or throughout the county,” Miggins said. New Times reached out to the board for comment but did not hear back before press time. Munds will have an annual salary of $150,000 plus standard CalPERS contributions and health insurance. His résumé includes more than 30 years in working with multiple state and local agencies. Munds has also been the county’s utility division manger for 26 years. He’s a 40-year resident of Los Osos and an active member of the Los Osos Utilities Advisory Committee. At the district meeting, board President Marshall Ochylski said he believed the district is moving on to the next step. “I think [Rene Osborne] did a good job of getting us back on track, but I think now we have to start dealing with the water deficiencies, for lack of a better term,” Ochylski said. Grace Environmental Services was hired to manage the community services district after it parted ways with its former general manager, Kathy Kively, who resigned amid allegations that she misappropriated district funds. The management company put Rene Osborne in charge in October 2016 to assist in the district’s financial reporting. The district’s current challenge—after overcoming the hurdle of getting its sewer and wastewater facility up and running— is having enough recycled water to supply the community and other entities.

Coastal Commission votes against proposed limits to vehicle riding in Oceano Dunes
N
iklas Hugosson rode an ATV for the first time as a child on Thanksgiving Day of 1992, and he was instantly hooked. He and his family were on a vacation at the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area, and that first time, he rode for so long that the palms of his hands bled. “I loved it,” Hugosson told New Times, beaming at the memory. “I refused to get off the bike.” Since then, Hugosson has traveled from his home in Fresno to Oceano for countless vacations, all spent riding and camping on the dunes, eating at Five Cities restaurants, shopping at local stores, and filling up at Oceano’s gas stations. As an attorney, Hugosson said he only has time now to visit about three times a year, but in his younger days, he and his friends made it out to the dunes almost once a month. If vehicles weren’t allowed on the beach, he’d have no reason to make the trek to the Central Coast. Hugosson’s story is like those of scores of individuals who traveled to San Luis Obispo from near and far on July 11 to voice their opposition to the California Coastal Commission’s proposal to limit off-highway vehicle riding in some portions of the Oceano Dunes. The proposed conditions, which were later voted down 8-2 by the Coastal Commission, were aimed at better protecting the many endangered species that live and breed at the dunes, as well as the neighboring communities that have long been fighting to reduce potentially dangerous dust emissions that are thought to be worsened by vehicle riding. ••• The Coastal Commission was not considering an altogether ban on offhighway vehicles in the park’s riding area, but in the report, staff were frank about the negative environmental and health effects riding is thought to cause. “Put simply, in staff’s view a park that is fully consistent with on-the-ground realities, and with coastal resource protection requirements, does not include [off-highway vehicle] use,” reads the staff report. “Rather, it is clear to staff that the significant coastal resource issues and constraints attributable to [off-highway vehicle] use render long-term [off-highway vehicle] use at this location untenable.” But instead of an all-out riding ban, staff proposed implementing a number of seemingly small wildlife conservation efforts: the implementation of a management plan for predators of sensitive species, which would have included enclosures for the park’s trash bins; the installation of fencing in areas that are home to sensitive habitats where riding is already prohibited; and the permanent closure of a 300-acre breeding habitat that is currently only closed seasonally to riding. Staff also recommended a ban on riding across the Arroyo Grande Creek, which some fish use as a gateway to and from the ocean; a ban on nighttime riding; increased enforcement on speed limits and other park rules; a reduction in the number of vehicles allowed in the park
each day; and increased dust mitigation and public outreach. The rules wouldn’t have been overly strenuous, but Oceano is California’s only coastal dunes system where off-highway vehicles are allowed, and its riding area has been dwindling in size for years. Hugosson, the longtime dunes rider from Fresno, said he and many riders fear that the park is being closed down to riding slowly, a strategy to avoid overwhelming public outrage. But the Coastal Commission didn’t avoid hearing the public’s outrage on July 11. Hundreds attended the meeting, filling the ballroom at Embassy Suites on Madonna Road to capacity and cramming into another smaller “overflow” room in the hotel, where a live stream of the meeting was projected on a big screen. The parking lot was crowded with souped-up trucks, campers, and trailers carrying dune buggies and dirt bikes, and the hotel’s halls were dotted with groups gathered around cellphones to watch the live stream—riders in blue shirts, and those supporting environmental conservation and dust mitigation efforts in green. Coastal commissioners discussed the dunes from about 9:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., hours that were mostly dedicated to minute-long public comments from the many attendees. Some broke down in tears as they shared fond memories of camping and riding at Oceano—teaching their children to drive, learning to love and respect nature, spending time with family and away from technology. A number of local business owners said they’d suffer without the tourism that the park brings to the area, a topic that has been central to the long-running saga over the Oceano Dunes. In a letter to the Coastal Commission, Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) wrote that San Luis Obispo County businesses and residents depend on tourism as the area’s second largest economic driver. He wrote that visitors to the county spent about $1.6 billion in 2017, and the Oceano Dunes
area alone generates more than $150 million in annual economic activity from outside visitors. Though Cunningham could not elaborate on his letter before New Times’ press time, his chief of staff, Nick Mirman, said the Oceano debate is not an insider vs. outsider fight. Local residents own the small businesses that would be impacted by a drop in visitors, Mirman wrote in an email to New Times. Local residents work at the shops, gas stations, hotels, stores, and other businesses that rely to some extent on tourists. And he said it’s local residents— not once-a-year visitors—who will suffer from a loss in city and county tax revenue. “The assemblyman supports the local tourism industry because the local tourism industry supports the residents of the Central Coast,” Mirman wrote. ••• Another group of community members with a different set of views also attended the July 11 meeting in droves: Residents—many of whom live in the communities nearest to the Oceano Dunes—who want off-highway vehicle riding limited or restricted completely. Health officials have long argued that the Oceano riding area produces unnaturally high dust emissions, which are thought to be potentially dangerous to the nearby residents who breathe them in. In a letter to the Coastal Commission, the San Luis Obispo County Health Commission wrote that residents of the Nipomo Mesa are subjected to severe health risks due to their proximity to the dunes. “Rigorous studies conducted by the Air Pollution Control District and other research organizations unequivocally conclude that this dust originates from the Oceano Dunes and that off-highway recreational vehicles use in the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area is responsible for allowing airborne transport of the dust during high winds,” the letter reads. “Science demonstrating the clear connection between [off-highway vehicle] use on the dunes and Nipomo Mesa residents’ exposure to serious health consequences from the dust has been evident for years,” the letter continues. The Health Commission also noted State Parks’ slow and reluctant response to calls for dust mitigation and conservation efforts, PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM
DULY NOTED Hundreds of people from across the state attended a California Coastal Commission meeting in San Luis Obispo on July 11, where commissioners considered a staff recommendation to limit off-highway vehicle riding in the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area.
an issue that Coastal Commission staff said played a key role in their bringing these proposed limitations to the table. Madeline Palaszewski, a longtime Los Osos resident who wore a “clean air” button pinned to her shirt at the July 11 meeting, said public safety and the health of SLO County residents should be prioritized over the economy. Problems at Oceano have only become increasingly worse over the years, Palaszewski said. There are ATV and motorcycle accidents all the time, many this year that have led to deaths, and an increase in the number of air-quality and noise complaints. Palaszewski doesn’t buy the economicimpact argument anyway, she said. Pismo Beach used to allow vehicles on its beach, and the town is still doing well without it. She and a number of other attendees said Oceano is more like a doormat to the dunes than a gateway. “It’s about time” for the Coastal Commission to step in, Palaszewski said. “State Parks has had how many years now?” ••• After State Parks was nearly sued by the SLO Air Pollution Control District for failing to address Oceano’s unnaturally high dust emissions, the agency agreed to a legal order several months ago requiring it to cut dust emissions by 50 percent by 2023. At the July 11 meeting, State Parks Director Lisa Mangat highlighted successes the agency has had with the dust mitigation efforts already implemented, and with endangered species breeding in the park. In 2002, there were only 32 adult breeding snowy plovers in the park, according to State Parks. That number jumped to 201 by 2018. Oceano also has a strong California least tern program, with some of the highest consistent reproductive success in the state. Those efforts, and everything else done in the park, are funded through the Off-Highway Vehicle Trust Fund, which receives monies primarily from fuel taxes, vehicle registration, and park entrance fees. State Parks is also working on developing a public works plan that would address many of the concerns raised by the Coastal Commission, Mangat said at the meeting. She asked commissioners to hold off on passing restrictions until that plan is completed next summer. That’s what commissioners ultimately voted to do, although most said they were reluctant to give State Parks any additional second chances. Commissioner Steve Padilla voted against implementing the staff recommendations, although he said he fully supported them. Despite his vote, Padilla said he’s skeptical of State Parks, and said dunes frequenters need to face the reality that off-highway vehicles are causing negative health and environmental effects. “This is not sustainable,” Padilla said. “It’s just not sustainable.” After the July 11 meeting adjourned, news spread of an Arizona man who died in a crash in the Oceano Dunes that day, the fifth death in the park this year. On July 13, another dunes rider, an 18-yearold from Sacramento, was killed in a motorcycle accident. ∆ Sun Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@santamariasun.com.

Caring for the little ones
T
he child care options in SLO County are limited, and a pair of sisters is hoping to make a dent by being a provider of the service to San Luis Obispo parents. Downtown Baby is owned and operated by Sophie Crisp and Robin Rose. The two told New Times through an email that they had always envisioned opening an early learning center. They really wanted to make their dream a reality after they understood the growing demand for infant care options in their community. “All child care in our area is great. There just simply isn’t enough,” Crisp and Rose said in the email. Downtown Baby has two locations—its first location was established in Shell Beach, and the facility cares for newborns through school-aged children. The duo expanded on their business in February by opening a SLO location that looks after newborns through children the age of 2. “Our new facility is centrally located in the downtown’s professional district and provides a much-needed resource for modern working parents,” Crisp and Rose said. Their services are different from the rest because, Crisp and Rose said, they’re guided by a relationship-based model for supporting early development. Their philosophy is rooted in cultivating positive relationships and an environment where
children feel safe and are nurtured. Those surroundings, the duo believes, result in a successful foundation for learning. “Understanding developmental milestones and each child’s interests guides us to help children reach their goals. We have combined traditional methods of teaching, such as Montessori and Waldorf, to create a unique and modern program,” they said. Another aspect of Downtown Baby that the sisters pride themselves on is the physical environment they’ve created. The atmosphere is described as modern with a minimalistic style, which includes an abundance of natural light, neutral tones, and soft comforts of home. A lot of the items used by the children have been carefully handpicked from around the world. It allows the children, Crisp and Rose said, to be influenced by culture and art. “For example, our music instruments are fairly traded, supporting low-income artisans and their families with fair wages and other important benefits. We also support family-owned businesses in America by purchasing handcrafted toys and artwork,” they said. The sisters also take measures to keep children in their care healthy by choosing eco-friendly cleaning supplies, essential oils, air purifying plants, organic bedding, and wooden toys that are naturally colored with vegetable dyes.
WATCHFUL CARE Sophie Crisp (left) and Robin Rose (right) have created a safe, sustainable, and comfortable child care facility for working parents.
In addition, all their wood furniture is responsibly sourced, made in the U.S. and Greenguard gold certified (a certification program that helps buyers identify and trust that interior products and materials that have low chemical emissions and improve the quality of air in which products are used). Crisp and Rose said their favorite part about the business has always been working hands-on with children. “But the most exciting thing about launching this business has been dreaming up the perfect environment for children and seeing all the small details make a huge impact in the eyes of the children,” they said.

Our ‘never again’
Cost of resistance
Cruel border camps for migrant children should outrage every American
A
s a preschool teacher, mother, and mayor, care-taking and empowering young people has always been my central motivation. Like many of you, I put a lot of thought and care into raising my children. I ensured they were safe, warm, fed, healthy, and loved. My worst nightmare would have been to have them taken from me and crammed into a cold cell without adequate food, water, or hygiene, left alone and stripped of their basic human dignity. Today in the United States of America, that nightmare is coming true for parents at our border, in our name. There are so many egregious acts being perpetrated by this administration that it’s difficult, if not impossible, to address all of them. While the list is long and the assaults are many, none is more horrific than the way children are being treated at our nation’s borders. The fundamental rights of human beings are under attack. There is no doubt that our nation is long ready for immigration reform, and there are many paths to embody a country that understands the strength in our diversity while creating pathways for national security and global partnerships. Whatever your vision for our future of immigration policies, it should be an affront to your

very humanity to see children whose lives still depend on their mothers being treated as human garbage in for-profit internment camps. We are paying up to $775 daily per interned child to for-profit companies in the new tent cities they are building that provide the most trauma-inducing experience imaginable. These are children—who by the very fact that they are children—are innocent. In The New York Times, a pediatrician who visited one of the facilities shared that he observed “extreme cold temperatures; lights on 24 hours a day; no adequate access to medical care, basic sanitation, water, or adequate food.” We’ve all seen the photos of migrants packed together like animals, forced to live in filth behind chain-link fences in freezing temperatures with mylar blankets as their only defense. Laws are being broken every day—not by the migrants, but rather by this administration. Lawyers who have observed the camps say that these children are living in traumatic and dangerous conditions. They are living in windowless buildings, trying to care for each other with inadequate food, water, and sanitation. Many have been very sick and several have died. “At least seven children are known to have died in immigration custody since last year, after almost a decade in which no child reportedly died while in the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection,” read a May 29 NBC News story.

Democrats are really to blame for the border crisis
I
decided to go to the Lights for Liberty SLO rally on Saturday, July 13, to see what it was all about. Although I’m a steadfast President Trump supporter, I like to hear what the left is offering in the way of solutions to the border crisis and associated challenges. Unfortunately, I only heard about the crisis (which finally the left acknowledges) and virtually nothing in the way of a solution. The sense I took from both the speeches and the carried signs is that President Trump is responsible for the crisis or in some way has the power, unilaterally, to solve it. Actually, neither of these is true. Unfortunately, the left, with its commitment to resist President Trump at every turn, no longer cares about facts and instead focuses almost entirely on feelings. How can one not admit that the problems at the southern border existed before Trump was president? But from the speeches and banners it seemed they were holding him responsible. Everyone seems to have forgotten that it was President Obama who was called the Deporter-in-Chief. Also, if anyone on the left was paying attention, the Trump administration has been warning of an impending crisis at our border for at least 18 months. But it wasn’t until last week that Congress finally gave the administration the money they asked for to improve the facilities
and to provide appropriate supplies and care for the more than 100,000 folks who are coming across our border each month. But at Saturday’s rally, the administration was criticized for not making the necessary improvements quickly enough now that they have the money. Really? What exactly could any department do with more than $4.6 billion in just seven days? The solution to this crisis does not rest with President Trump, for he is doing all that he can to address it while the Democrats in Congress resist at every turn. As children and families are encouraged by the left to leave their countries on this perilous journey during which many are robbed, raped, and even murdered, Democrats in Congress resist changing the immigration laws. When these poor, tired folks are encouraged by the left to cross the border illegally and then die from exposure in the desert or at the Rio Grande, Democrats in Congress resist changing our asylum laws. And in the more than 18 months of alarms being sounded about the impending crisis at our border, the Democrats in Congress resisted (until last week) approving the funds needed to avert the humanitarian crisis highlighted during the recent rally. So although no one on the left seems to be willing to acknowledge that these problems started long before President Trump was elected, they were allowed to grow unchecked during the past 2 1/2 years while alarm bells kept ringing. The solution lies with the Democrats in Congress who, through their strategy WECHTER continued page 17

UNCOMFORTABLE In one unit of the Grand View Apartments in Paso Robles, a gaping hole above the bathroom sink often spills debris.
NO HELP Of the many uninhabitable living conditions that tenants have complained about, the dangerous location of the kitchen stove is one of them. According to building codes, stoves should not be surrounded by walls.
UNRESPONSIVE Grand View tenants have repeatedly asked for repairs unique to their units, but their requests have often been dismissed.
Uninhabitable conditions Renters in SLO County have the right to speak out if their landlords aren’t repairing their apartments BY KAREN GARCIA | PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM
F
rancisco Ramirez points to dark spots of mold that surround the left side of a living room window. Making his way to the kitchen, he notes two large sections of torn linoleum on the floor. One of the tears is near the fridge, and when he moves the appliance, a few small cockroaches scurry out from underneath. He opens cabinets and drawers, and more cockroaches appear. Ramirez takes New Times through another four apartments at the 54-unit apartment complex he lives in. With varying degrees of similarities, some are worse than others. In some units, water constantly streams out of the tub or sink faucets. In one apartment, there’s a large, gaping hole above the bathroom sink. Almost all have issues with bedbugs, rats, cockroaches, and mold. With little to no furniture, rat traps and cans of bug repellant took up space in rooms and hallways, and windows were left wide open. As a current tenant of the Grand View Apartments in Paso Robles, Ramirez doesn’t like having guests over because of the state of both his apartment and the rest of the complex. “Me da vergüenza,” Ramirez told New Times in Spanish. This translates to, “I’m embarrassed.” His living situation closes him off from the extroverted person Ramirez is. He grew up in Paso and is active in his community. If there’s a community event, he’s there. When there’s a fundraiser for a local effort he cares deeply about, he’s wrangling his fellow city residents together to participate. When there’s an agenda item he feels strongly about, he’s at the City Council meeting to voice his opinion during public comment. Now, Ramirez says he’s using his voice to speak out for those who are afraid of retaliation: getting kicked out of the apartments, having no other living situation, not getting the security deposit
back. It also helps that he’s bilingual, as most of the Grand View Apartment tenants don’t speak English. Ramirez says he knows he’s not the only one who doesn’t feel comfortable in his own home and doesn’t want to invite friends or family over. “Because if we’re going to sit down and just chat, have a beer, or have dinner and all of a sudden cockroaches come out,” he says. “But once you’re here, you end up getting stuck.” Ramirez is one of 200 current and former tenants participating in a lawsuit filed in May against the two owners and the property manager of the Grand View Apartments. The litigation has created a larger conversation about how tenants seek help if their apartment needs aren’t being met, what case the Grand View Tenants have, and what actions other cities can take to protect their renters.
No answers
On May 7, Velia Talamantes, Veronica Olivares, and Eulogio Espinoza filed a lawsuit on their behalf and on behalf of 200 current and former tenants against the Grand View Apartments, owners Ebrahim and Fahimeh Madadi, and property manager Nicolle Davis. According to the lawsuit, Ebrahim and Fahimeh are both residents of Santa Barbara County and purchased the property in February 2008. The suit accuses the property of being insect- and vermin-infested for at least the past four years—with rampant bedbugs, cockroaches, and rats throughout the units—and of having a severe mold problem and dangerous gas and electric lines that render the premises uninhabitable. The lawsuit lists the issues that tenants have seen or experienced in their apartments, including a lack of air conditioners, noncompliant Americans

with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps or parking spaces, malfunctioning refrigerators, sink and shower leaks, a frequent lack of hot water, flooding in the parking lot whenever it rains, broken windows, sewage backup, roof leaks, stoves in hazardous locations, ripped/ torn linoleum flooring, malfunctioning heaters, inoperable outlets, and missing or non-functioning smoke and CO2 detectors. New Times spoke to a tenant in Spanish during the tour of the Grand View Apartments. That resident asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation from the property manager or owners. She showed New Times bedbug bites all over her arms and said she’s contacted the property manager several times about the issue. She’s been living in the complex for about three years but said she didn’t know what she was getting herself into. Three years ago, she was in a pinch and needed a place to live. At the time, the two-bedroom apartment was affordable. She said the property manager told her if she had the deposit, the apartment was hers. “Soon after I moved in, I told them about the bedbugs, and they said they would send someone to fumigate, and they never sent anyone,” she said. Someone did come to fumigate her apartment on May 26 when she wasn’t home. She knows someone came to her apartment because when she went home after work it smelled like chemicals. However, the bedbugs are still in her apartment. When she reaches out to the property manager, she said no one answers the phone. According to the tenant, property manager Davis doesn’t have a specific time when she’s in the on-site office. If there’s an emergency, she and the other tenants are supposed to call the on-site maintenance man. Sometimes he answers, and sometimes he doesn’t, the tenant said.
She said she’s reached out to the property manager and maintenance man for other reasons. Her front door lock was falling off. The ceiling fan doesn’t work. The bedbug issue. She said that Davis’ response to the request is that any repairs will have to come out of the tenants’ pocket. Reluctantly, the tenant said, she has changed the ceiling fan, repaired the lock, and uses bedbug bombs in her apartment three times a month—all on her own dime. According to the lawsuit, the owners and the property manager knew that the tenants were living in substandard housing conditions, “yet they intentionally, repeatedly, and knowingly failed to correct the problems.” The owners and property manager have also engaged in a pattern and practice of failing and refusing to return tenants’ security deposits after they vacate the property, the lawsuit alleges. New Times reached out to the Grand View Apartment owners but didn’t receive a response before press time. Ramirez said it’s true that security deposits don’t get returned, and it’s the reason why many tenants aren’t publicly speaking out about the issue. He said they’re afraid of being kicked out and not getting their deposit back. The property manager, Ramirez said, told a vacating former tenant they wouldn’t be getting their deposit back because of the bedbugs, mold, or cockroaches in the unit that were caused by the former tenant. Which wasn’t true, he said, because those issues were already plaguing the unit before the tenant moved in.
Working toward relief
The San Luis Obispo Legal Assistance Foundation (SLOLAF) and the Hutkin Law Firm are representing the 200 current and former tenants of the Grand View Apartments.
bedbug infestation was verified on the property. The letter states that officials from the office received a complaint, and a site visit was made Sept. 7, 2017, to evaluate the property for signs of infestation. It stated that health agency officials requested that the owners abate the violations as quickly as possible to minimize the effect on the tenants and surrounding apartments and residents. The requested abatements were not made. Another factor listed was that the tenant who asked SLOLAF for help didn’t just want their own unit to be fixed; they wanted change for everyone. “The only way to achieve that would be with court supervision,” she said.

Landlords and property owners have a responsibility to maintain their rental property and make the necessary repairs. Tenants can make repairs and deduct the cost from their rent, they can withhold their rent until the repairs are made, and they can also sue their landlord for retroactive rent abatement (the money back they paid the landlord for when the conditions were not livable). “Tenants can always come to CRLA for help. They will need to fill out an intake form first to see if they qualify for our free services for low-income individuals,” Kopcinski told New Times. “Typically, we only take cases which fall into our current priority areas of housing, employment, education, and immigration.” CRLA gets involved by sending out “demand letters” to landlords for repairs. The organization may also negotiate with the landlord or bring a lawsuit against them as well.

SLOLAF Legal Director Stephanie Barclay said the foundation was first contacted by one tenant asking for help, “but that tenant wanted to make sure that our efforts benefitted all of the tenants at Grand View.” “That tenant, who I will not identify, was really looking out for the community there. I am not sure who referred the tenant to us, but our organization has been around for over 25 years, so we get a lot of referrals on a daily basis,” Barclay told New Times via email. She said after the tenant asked for help, foundation representatives visited the Grand View Apartments to see what the condition of the apartments were like and immediately knew they wanted to help if they could. “We spent some time investigating and researching the claims, and once we understood the size of the case, we knew we would need to bring in outside counsel to partner with us,” Barclay said. The foundation sought a partnership with Hutkin Law Firm. After an investigation, inspection, and interview with some of the Grand View tenants, the firm joined the case. Barclay said that the foundation rarely sees cases such as the one against Grand View: “Of this magnitude, very infrequently.” She said tenants are in a vulnerable position in SLO County due to the low occupancy rate and high rents in the area. “Most tenants want to keep the peace because they fear eviction or other forms of retaliation,” Barclay said. “For that reason, I think most problems go unreported.” When a tenant seeks help from the foundation, litigation is always the last resort. If the problem can be solved between the two parties without lawyers or mediation, the foundation will try that avenue. However, the tenants of the Grand View Apartments presented a different case. “Given the tenants’ history of reporting problems and the landlord’s continuous failures to address them while at the same time raising rent every few months, coupled with the fact that the problems had been previously reported to the city of Paso Robles and the county and still had not been corrected, we did not have much hope that this was a problem that could be solved without litigation,” Barclay said. The county of SLO Health Agency sent a letter to the owners and manager of Grand View in September 2017 stating that the letter served as official documentation that a cockroach and
to submit a code violation. Each city handles health and safety code violation complaints or submissions differently. In certain cities the police department has a code enforcement officer who inspects the issue, or the planning and building department investigates the issue. In Arroyo Grande on Jan. 17, neighborhood services officer Lawrence Armstrong, building inspector David Prendez, and building official Jonathan Hurst conducted an inspection of a residence on Grand Avenue as requested by the tenant, according to documents obtained by New Times. The tenant’s name was redacted from the inspection document. The conditions that were observed include inoperable kitchen and bathroom fans, no windows in habitable rooms and windows that are not operable, an infestation of bees inhabiting rafter space, visible mold growth in several areas, compromised ceiling structural integrity due to rot, and improper installation of plumbing waste lines in the bathroom—to name a few. All are documented as violations. According to the documents, the structure was deemed unsafe for occupancy and the violations needed to be rectified before occupancy could be granted again. “At the conclusion of the inspection, we were notified that the tenants were departing the structure after removing their belongings. Since no persons would be occupying the premises, a red tag was not placed on the structure. However, the Health and Safety Code provides the ability for us to revisit the site and place the a red tag so as to prevent further occupancy until these items are corrected,” the city documents stated. The public records request submitted by New Times asked for any and all complaints of substandard housing or code violations on behalf of tenants since 2015. The city of Arroyo Grande only had one complaint. The situation is similar in neighboring Grover Beach. David Hale, general counsel for Grover Beach, said these types of complaints are not very common in his area. “We have had a number of abandoned homes that we’re trying to deal with and clean with the homeowners, but we don’t really have any tenants that have called and said they live in substandard conditions,” Hale said. The city recently hired an active code enforcement officer, a position the city hasn’t consistently had in the past. With the position in place, Hale said the city is starting to address the issue, but for the most part, he hasn’t seen any. He said examples of the code violations that the city typically deals with are houses with garages that were converted into studio rentals without a permit or houses that don’t comply with the city’s health and safety code.
Seeking safety
In the Grand View Apartments, Ramirez concludes that he just wants his basic human rights. “We’re not asking for much. Just help us continue living here comfortably and safely,” Ramirez says. “That’s all we want, I mean, it’s what anybody else would want.” Ramirez says it’s really devastating to think that he and his neighbors aren’t able to live a comfortable life. These tenants work and go to school, but at the end of the day they don’t get to come home to a safe, healthy, and comfortable living situation. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

Opinion HARMON from page 12
We now have concentration camps in the United States of America. Most of these children are accompanied by parents or extended family, coming here to exercise their legal right to seek asylum, accompanied by a desire to not only have a better life, but in many cases to have a life at all. They are following the trail to their families, coming from countries in Central America and others that are inundated with gang violence, domestic abuse, government corruption, and land displacement. These children are forcibly separated from the relatives who come with them by our government. Family integrity is a constitutional right as decided by recent court cases that stipulate that children should never be separated from their families. The trauma that this separation and subsequent mistreatment of these children is creating will have repercussions for generations to come, not only directly on the affected children, but on the very fabric of our nation. The stories we have heard are heartbreaking, and people on both sides of the aisle are speaking out. “The zero-tolerance policy is cruel,” former first lady Laura Bush wrote in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed. “It is immoral. And it breaks my heart.” But being heartbroken is not enough. We are called not to an empathy rooted in inaction but rather to courageous compassion that is rooted in justice. We cannot wait for someone else to save the day. We are the ones these children are waiting for. Knowing our history is more important than ever. We must look back so that we can learn from our past mistakes to ensure we do not make them again. We live on the stolen lands of the Chumash peoples in a time where the effects of the colonial mindset continue to breed bigotry, misogyny, and attacks on basic human decency. This year is the 77th anniversary of the internment of Japanese Americans, who were taken from this very community. The Army base, Fort Sill, was once used as an internment camp for Japanese Americans during World War II, now being repurposed to intern these innocent children. I am committed to the nonpartisan nature of my role and assert that standing up against these policies is not a partisan issue. It’s a human issue for which all of us must take a stand. It should not be a matter of right vs. left; this is a matter of right vs. wrong. It is our responsibility to take action. It is our responsibility to ensure that this cruel policy does not continue. It’s time to move from outrage to action. So as you feed your kids a healthy hot meal, give them a warm bath, and send them off to sleep in a warm and soft bed, remember that there is no such thing as other people’s children. We are so lucky to have our children close, to

hold their tender hands in ours. Let’s use that gratitude to call us up to action. The rallying cry after the Holocaust was “Never Again.” This is our never again. It was heartening to see so many of our friends and neighbors standing in the hot sun at the Lights for Liberty Rally on Saturday. The rally featured female voices, voices that often get ignored. One by one, each woman stood up to share her own truth and to be a compassionate voice for the voiceless. The feminine rising up and taking its rightful place in the world as a constructive, co-creating, care-taking force is what we need now more than ever.

Opinion
Rhetoric&Reason
BY AL FONZI
A brief reprieve
M
any decades ago, I supplemented my meager college income by continuing my post-Vietnam military service in the Coast Guard Reserves. I was assigned to the Morro Bay detachment that at the time assisted the Coast Guard Cutter Cape Hedge in its multiple duties. On weekends and for a few weeks every summer, I “commanded” an inboardpowered Starcraft Cruiser and a Boston Whaler to patrol the waters between Cayucos, Morro Bay, and as far south as Port San Luis at Avila. Sometimes we boarded the oil tankers anchored off Cayucos, making an interesting leap to the ship ladders as the waves lifted our small craft 6 feet up or down as we boarded. One of the most interesting parts of our duties was “policing,” in a friendly sort of way, what we called the “Bakersfield Navy”—Central Valley dwellers making their pilgrimage to the coast in the summer to avoid the valley heat for a few weeks of fishing and beach weather. The problem was many treated the ocean like a large lake, which it isn’t. The sea is beautiful to an artist and tourists, but I came to see it as a vicious, unpredictable killer waiting for people to make a small mistake that could quickly result in disaster. I terminated small boat voyages awash in gasoline, fumes, dirty spark arresters,
inoperable fire extinguishers, and no life jackets or life jackets so old they were fossilized in locked compartments. Operators were five or six “sheets to the wind,” having lived on beer for the last 10 hours. One was a floating bomb. Other times we assisted in rescues as tourists overloaded small boats with adults and children, attempting to exit Morro Bay through the breakwater channel, to be suddenly overturned by an unexpected powerful wave. Few had lifejackets on or properly fitted, especially for children, and there were more than a few tragedies. Some years, 10 percent of boats leaving Morro Bay became casualties. Humorous events are permanently embedded in my memory, like a July holiday weekend when a sailboat ran aground at nude beach Pirate’s Cove in Avila (I had no shortage of crew volunteers to go ashore to take a report). The same weekend, a great white shark was spotted by fishermen on the Avila Pier, estimated to be about 17 feet. So we herded adventurous swimmers closer to shore while trying not to panic the public. We also helped extinguish a fire on the pier that day started by fireworks and aided by strong northwesterly winds. Getting our craft under the pier to extinguish the fire was interesting. We ended the day wet, but more than 100 people evacuated the pier to watch from the beach. People love to get
close to nature, but sometimes nature isn’t very nice in return. One example of this is the Oceano Dunes, which just received a sort of reprieve from the Coastal Commission to continue to exist as an off-road vehicle recreational area for another year. Presumably, local officials and State Parks will find a way to effectively mitigate the health hazards posed by ultra-fine blowing dust to local residents, according to the State Air Resources Board. There’s a lot of controversy over how much of a hazard really exists, what’s mostly responsible, and if or how it can be fixed to accommodate permanent residents and today’s land version of what I would describe as the “Bakersfield Navy.” As of this week’s press time, six people have lost their lives this year doing stuff that would have gotten me a well-deserved “Darwin Award” in my youth. Obviously, there are some serious problems requiring more law enforcement oversight and a stronger presence in the field. That will cost money, and the governor seems to have lots to spend this year on everything except making life better for Californians—like fixing the Oceano Dunes. I’ve read the science reports on the dust hazard, and I previously suggested treating some of the newer housing developments like a Superfund site—a la “Love Canal”—where the government bought out the town and moved everyone away from a permanent chemical hazard in the water.
Older residents who’ve lived here 30 years or longer likely weren’t warned about blowing dust when they bought their residences, but for newer residents, California realty law is draconian on disclosing hazards to potential buyers. The problems of the dunes are exacerbated by the thousands of eucalyptus trees cut down, which likely provided some windbreak protection, to make room for developments. There’s plenty of room for blame and not many good options. The Oceano Dunes has been subjected to prevailing winds blowing dust inland for thousands of years, and that will continue to happen despite our objections. Mitigation will take determined effort, and effective results will require decades to manifest. Those in peril from respiratory distress from the dust will remain in peril regardless of restrictions put upon dune riding or even closure to vehicles. They will have to decide if they are willing to risk remaining. The state’s responsibility is to decide if they can legally and morally allow them to remain. It’s like the fisherman in his floating bomb. He didn’t want to leave the water; he still had beer to drink. We persuaded him otherwise. ∆ Al Fonzi is an Army lieutenant colonel of military intelligence who had a 35-year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

The Shredder
Dumb and dumber H as anyone seen my bazooka? It’s long and green. I had it a minute ago when I was in the can at El Pollo Loco. Gee, I hope no one finds it and accidentally takes out a Ford Explorer filled with innocent children and newborn babies. With any luck, a dude named Skeeter will find it, take it home, get ratted out by his brother-in-law, and return my bazooka to the Los Osos Sheriff’s Substation. I know! Ridiculous, right? El Pollo Loco, a missing weapon, a guy named Skeeter, and a snitch—no way, JosĂŠ! Send this turd back to the writers’ room! Except, gulp, that’s pretty much what happened last Wednesday, July 10, when—get this!—San Luis Obispo Police Chief Deanna Cantrell accidentally left her pistola en el baĂąo de El Pollo Loco on LOVR. True story! Nice one, Barney Fife! According to a city press release, “She went to the restroom and inadvertently left her personal firearm in the stall. Within minutes, she realized her mistake and went to the restroom to retrieve it, but it was no longer there.â€? That’s a pretty big whoopsy-daisy! Security footage showed a man entering and exiting the same restroom followed by a 10-year-old and then another man, and since police were able to interview the kid and the last man, they were able to narrow down the “gun finderâ€? (“thiefâ€? seems like too strong a word) to the first
dude, described as “balding, wearing a black jacket, lime green and blue striped shorts, and sunglasses.â€? Is that you, Skeeter? It sure as hell is! Cantrell’s firearm was found the next day, on July 11. Apparently the “gun locator’sâ€? brother-in-law turned him in, calling the SLO County Sheriff’s Office and arranging to bring the gun taken by 30-year-old Skeeter Carlos Mangan to the Los Osos substation. You can’t make this stuff up! Now the question is what to do with Cantrell. Some mandatory firearm retraining and a sternly worded letter in her personnel file? A suspension and docked pay? Fire her? Charge her with a crime? Your favorite perpetually outraged gadfly Kevin P. Rice quickly issued an email calling for Cantrell’s immediate firing and maybe arrest: “The police chief has committed a crime and should be terminated immediately,â€? it read, citing Penal Code 25100. He noted in boldface all-caps that “THIS CRIME BECOMES A FELONY IF DEATH OR GREAT BODILY INJURY RESULTS.â€? He ends his email with this little nugget of histrionics: “The next Kate Steinle is now at risk. Only time will tell,â€? referring to the young woman killed in 2015 by JosĂŠ Inez GarcĂa ZĂĄrate, who claimed to have found a gun under a bench by San Francisco’s popular tourist destination Pier 41. He said the gun
discharged when he picked it up, the round ricocheted off the pavement and struck Steinle in the back. GarcĂa ZĂĄrate, an undocumented immigrant living in the U.S., became a rallying cry for then-presidential candidate Donald J. Trump against socalled sanctuary cities. A jury, coming to the conclusion that the shooting was accidental, acquitted GarcĂa ZĂĄrate of both murder and manslaughter charges but convicted him of being a felon in possession of a firearm. On a side note, GarcĂa ZĂĄrate had also taken sleeping pills he found in a dumpster. They throw away weird shit in San Francisco, eh? Anyway, Kevin “P is for Pricklyâ€? Rice, you do a disservice to your call for dismissal by throwing in this rightwing red meat dog whistle about Steinle. Stick to your point! Did Cantrell commit a crime or make a serious and really dumb mistake? I’m no lawyer, but I’m pretty sure losing a firearm is not a crime, and 25100 is about improper weapon storage. Of course, a police chief should be held to a higher standard considering her training and responsibility. “Every cop knows you don’t take your gun off and leave it on the toilet tank,â€? Larry DeGraw commented after The Tribune’s July 11 story “SLO police chief
left her gun in a restaurant bathroom— now it’s missing.� “You put the gun in the crotch of your underwear while your pants are down. Kinda hard to pull your pants up with your pistol is in your pants.� Is that standard operating procedure, Larry, to “holster� your weapon in your underpants? What if you’re a boxers gal? Maybe you like the easy breezy feeling of rolling commando. It seems there’re no shortage of opinions about Cantrell’s potentially lethal faux pas. According to SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon, the “keyboard cowards� have used the incident as “an opportunity to be as hateful and bigoted as possible.� At SLO’s July 16 City Council meeting, Harmon praised Cantrell’s transparency over reporting the incident: “This is what it looks like when you have the feminine in power in a very important position. She made a mistake, for which she took immediate, public, and transparent responsibility.� I’m feeling like Harmon is cheering on City Manager Derek Johnson, who went with the slap on the wrist and firearm-retraining route for disciplinary action against Cantrell. As for Skeeter—poor, balding, badly dressed, dumbass Skeeter—they’ll probably throw the book at him! Kids, if you see an unattended gun, don’t touch it! Call the police! Do not, I repeat, do not stick it in your crotch! ∆ The Shredder is disarming. Send ideas and comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

D O ES A N Y O N E C A R E? We are being legally/illegally EXTORTED! S.L.O. County bid $12,500 for a permit to get more permits, and spent it before we knew it. The county then forced cannabis farmers to sign a blank check with no explanation. Now 100% overrun, and $25,000 paid, we have nothing! The county also had to hire a third-party consultant to do their job. The moratorium on hemp makes growing tomatoes, avocados, every other food crop illegal, using this as a precedent against cannabis. The county is broke and in turn are trying to shut down a legal revenue generating job producing agricultural crops. You voted for the legalization of cannabis and this is an engineered prohibition. By who? Please call your county supervisor or county planner with any concerns. Sincerely, Diamond F Ranch in Templeton

Breeze,’ and ‘You Got that Right.’” Chris Janson opens the show. On Wednesday, July 24, ’80s electropop new wave band Berlin featuring Terri Nunn plays the Fort Frontier Stage at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. “Sex (I’m A ...),” “The Metro,” “No More Words,” and “Take My Breath Away” are their biggest hits. Local Americana act The Noach Tangeras Band plays Mission Square at 7 p.m. Southern rock act The Zack Brown Band plays the Chumash Grandstand Arena (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $51 to $131 at midstatefair.com). This multi-platinum, Grammy Awardwinning, Southern rock group has had five consecutive albums reach the top 10 of the Billboard 200 and four consecutive albums debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Albums chart. “Being back in California is the best feeling. I grew up in Visalia, so the MidState Fair is the closest thing I’ll have to a hometown show. It will be great to reconnect with family and friends, and to just breathe in that awesome coastal air!” Zac Brown bassist Matt Mangano said. “So far The Owl Tour is shaping up to be one of our best tours in recent memory. The music is strong, the band is playing together better than ever, and the visuals are pretty stunning. For me, the highlight of the tour is playing the new songs. There are a lot of groove-oriented songs, and those are really fun to play, especially for the bass player.” There’s no opener for this show so get there on time! On Thursday, July 25, husband and wife country duo Thompson Square plays the Fort Frontier Stage at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Local singer-songwriter Mark Adams plays Mission Square at 7 p.m. This dude writes amazing songs!

That Cali sound
CALI ROCK The Mother Hips bring their quasipsychedelic breezy California rock to BarrelHouse Brewing on July 19.
The Mother Hips were just Chico State students when they formed and caught the attention of über-producer Rick Rubin, who originally signed the band 25 years ago. Over the years, they’ve recorded 10 stunning studio albums that carry on the traditions of Laurel Canyon bands like Buffalo Springfield and The Beach Boys. Their newest, Chorus, is filled with great songs like the opening ballad, “Clean Me Up,” with its vocal harmonies and swirling psychedelic guitar sounds. Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents bring The Mother Hips to BarrelHouse Brewing on Friday, July 19 (6 p.m.; all ages; $22 presale or $25 at the door at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com).

Wine Country Theatre presents Little Women
Wine Country Theatre’s production of Little Women opens at the Park Ballroom in Paso Robles on Friday, Aug. 2, and runs through Sunday, Aug. 18. This musical adaptation, based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott, follows the adventures of four young women growing up in Civil War America. “This is a timeless tale about the power of family, friendship, romance, and individuality,” Cynthia Anthony, Wine Country Theatre’s executive director, said in press materials. “Alcott’s novel is still relevant. The music and lyrics are modern in style, and the heroine, Jo, is a contemporary character, even though she first came to life in the novel published over 100 years ago.” Director Kelli M. Poward helms this rendition of the Tony Award-nominated show. The cast of 14 includes Veronica Surber as Jo, Libby Parker as Beth, Tara Brinkman as Meg, and Ella Gomez as Amy. Performances take place every Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and every Sunday at 2 p.m. Doors open one hour prior to showtime. Admission is $25 for adults and $15 for students, or $20 per ticket for groups of eight or more. Tickets are available in advance at my805tix.com. Wine, beer, coffee, cheese plates, and other refreshments will be available for purchase at each performance. Park Street Ballroom is located at 1232 Park St., Paso Robles.

He said, she said Twelfth Night brings midsummer mischief, madness to Shakespeare Festival
T
he Fourth of July tourists have finally left the beaches, and the weather is warm enough during the day to hit that breezy, perfect summer evening temperature. That’s right: It’s time for the annual Central Coast Shakespeare Festival. Blankets and cash in hand for wine (and scrumptious fare from Beda’s Biergarten), we made our way down the winding dirt road at Filipponi Ranch toward the amphitheater at the base of the hill while the sun was just starting to set for opening weekend of the festival, July 13.

The Central Coast Shakespeare Festival, featuring Twelfth Night and Treasure Island, runs through Aug. 3 at Filipponi Ranch in SLO. Tickets range from $12 to $20. Visit centralcoastshakespeare.org for tickets and more information. No outside alcohol is allowed. Twelfth Night runs two hours and 15 minutes, including intermission. Treasure Island runs 90 minutes, including intermission. Friday night performances include live music before the show from 6:45 to 7:15 p.m.
promptly falls in love with Duke Orsino (Will Pena), who is in love with the Countess Olivia (Claire Gretlein), who falls in love with Cesario, who is really Viola. Meanwhile Olivia’s rowdy, drunken relative, Dame Toby Belch (PCPA alumna Willow Orthwein) is scheming to get her buddy, the equally drunken Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Cody Schmidt), married to Olivia. Dame Toby and Andrew, along with the fool, Feste (PCPA alum Jonathan Valerio), provide much of the show’s comedic relief and classic Shakespearean dirty jokes—including this gem: “Many a good hanging prevents a good marriage.” This is what you came for, folks. The stars twinkled brighter and brighter above, and our bodies warmed with wine and laughter as we watched the lovers onstage slowly and hilariously work through the complicated web of he said, she said and mistaken identity. I couldn’t help but agree: “Why, this is very midsummer madness.” ∆
As the bard himself writes, ‘Nothing that is so, is so.’ On tap this year is Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night along with Treasure Island, shown on alternating nights through Aug. 3. As the bard himself writes, “Nothing that is so, is so.” Twelfth Night is all about trickery, gender bending, and looking beneath the surface. A tragic shipwreck leaves twins Viola (Cassidy Cagney) and Sebastian (Isaac Capp) separated and each believing that the other is dead. So when Viola washes up on the shore of Illyria, she decides to masquerade as a young man named Cesario. She

n what feels like the year of seemingly endless live-action Disney remakes, one might think the threshold for consuming stories about princess culture would have been met. But one would be wrong, especially when it comes to the San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre’s production of The Little Mermaid Jr. musical, featuring the child performers of the Academy of Creative Theatre (ACT). We all know the story: A young

mermaid with a fascination for human culture falls in love with a dashing prince and makes the not-so-great decision to exchange her voice for legs, knowing she only has a three-day window to kiss the prince and thus be able to stay human and happy forever. Sure, it’s morally dubious, but at least the Disney version has a leg up on the Hans Christian Andersen original, in which Ariel turns into sea foam at the end instead of living happily ever after. The 2007 Broadway musical version goes a bit further before reaching the Disney ending, with a few fun numbers the film version doesn’t have, such as “She’s in Love,” in addition to fun classics like “Part of Your World” and “Under The Sea.” “That’s all well and good, Ryah,” you might say, “but why would I go to a kiddie show when I don’t have a child or know anyone in the show?” These are talented youngsters in the ACT program—some get their start as

TRIUMPH Rose-Lynn (Jesse Buckley) dreams of making it big in Nashville but learns that sometimes the dreams you think you want aren’t the reality you need.
that’s what makes it all so wonderful. I laughed and cried and would absolutely watch this film again. It’s entertaining and moving and ultimately redemptive, just like a great country song. Anna I was so satisfied with the resolve of the film. While we are rooting for Rose-Lynn to get her big break, it seems for a while at least that the choice is either stardom or motherhood—one a dream she can’t bear to give up, another a responsibility that often feels like a burden to the young dreamer. She loves her kids to no end, but Rose-Lynn herself has a lot of growing up to do, and the road to Nashville never seems farther away than when she’s locked up in their dingy apartment. Instead of staying in sadness, somewhere along the way a switch flips and Rose-Lynn busts booty to make the place a home, get her kids to school on time, make it home before her ankle monitor curfew, and generally pick up the pieces of her life. She’s a really sympathetic character. Walters is her impressive self, a mother wanting her daughter to straighten up and fly right, but with little understanding of the insatiable drive Rose-Lynn has to dream big. I’ve recommended this one to a few people already. It really pulls at the heartstrings and offers up a rich story with great music behind it. I can’t believe it’s only playing in one theater in the area right now—be sure and see it while it’s there! ∆ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

track of the various systems. Putting a man on the moon was a monumental undertaking, which First Man (2018), starring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong, did a terrific job of fictionalizing. In Apollo 11, we’re watching the real thing, and it’s just as gripping. Director Miller allows the archival footage and newscaster narration to tell the story, but when the voiceover alludes to the psychological baggage each astronaut takes into a dangerous space mission with him, we see photos and home movies of their families and test flights that led up to penetrating space—all that came before and all that could be lost. The documentary reminds viewers that the Vietnam War was raging and the Chappaquiddick incident occurred during the mission—two things competing for
news time in an era of three networks. We were in the midst of the Cold War, and there’s no overstating the sense of pride that flooded the nation. The display of elation from both the NASA workers and the throngs of onlookers, for instance a J.C. Penney parking lot full of campers watching the launch and touchdown, is astounding. It’s also fun to see some of the celebrities who attended the launch, such as Johnny Carson and George C. Scott. President Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger are both on the U.S.S. Hornet when the astronauts are recovered from the ocean. It was a big deal, and Apollo 11 delivers a gripping chronicle of this incredible American achievement.

Lieber show’s the audience that she’s more than just the 13-year-old girl who lost her arm to a tiger shark back in 2003. While we get a glimpse of Hamilton’s triumphs and current adult life, it feels limited. I think if I Googled her past interviews with Oprah, I’d be pretty caught up with her current life. The only thing I wouldn’t see is the breathtaking surf shots and aerial views of the ocean. The film opens up 16 years after Hamilton survived a shark attack that left her without her left arm. She’s in a boat with her husband in Maui, sizing up her toughest challenge yet, riding a section of treacherous waves dubbed “Jaws.” The challenge is one of many that Hamilton faces throughout her life. We’re immediately plunged into home videos and interviews with her family and childhood friends in her hometown of Kauai, Hawaii. It’s a consensus that Hamilton was a natural surfer who loved a challenge and—let’s face it—was better than the boys in her competing level. She and her best friend Alana Blanchard, another future pro surfer, were out surfing one morning when Hamilton was attacked. But

The documentary doesn’t linger on the shark attack, as Hamilton didn’t, although we see much of her career throughout her teenage years was centered on it. Instead Hamilton focused on challenges in her professional life that she wouldn’t give up on, she learned to swim with one arm and tackled professional-level surfing skills such as barrel riding and aerials. Aside from her life in the water, on land she also faced the challenge of growing up, married life, and motherhood. With all her challenges, Hamilton greeted them with a smile and headstrong determination. This is the second documentary that Lieber has directed that focuses on a prominent

virus? Witchcraft? Performance art? Nobody quite knows what’s causing a strange fainting epidemic in director Carol Morley’s The Falling, primarily set in a British all-girls’ high school in 1969. The first student to faint is Abbie (Florence Pugh, Midsommar), and she’s followed swiftly by her best friend, Lydia (Maisie Williams, Game of Thrones). The school’s principal, Miss Alvaro (Monica Dolan), initially calls both students out as fakers and condemns these instances as acts of defiance toward her, the school, and authority in general—or at least that’s the way I interpreted their exchanges. Dialogue is minimal, but there are more than enough cold glares to deduce that Alvaro isn’t the biggest fan of the duo. And I feel like that’s pretty much the whole movie in a nutshell—lots of showing but no telling. But even most of what’s shown is still abstract and up to interpretation. The relationship between Abbie and Lydia, for example, is never concretely defined. Things get complicated between the two after Lydia realizes Abbie has been sleeping

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes (2006), Piranha 3D, Horns) directs this action-horror film about Haley Keller (Kaya Scodelario), who during a Category 5 hurricane returns to her family home to save her father, Dave (Barry Pepper), who’s trapped in his flooding basement. When she arrives, however, the hurricane is the least of her problems as massive alligators make their escape increasingly unlikely. While Crawl isn’t going to win any awards, it’s a masterful example of tension-filled action, and its claustrophobic setting adds to the thrills. We meet our protagonist during her college swim practice, letting us know that Haley has skills in the water. That turns out to be important since she spends most of the film submerged. There’s also some side plots about her parents’ divorce, issues between her and her older sister, Beth (Morfydd Anderson), who calls to ask her to check on their dad, and Haley and her father’s estrangement. He’s her childhood swim coach, a driving taskmaster, who she hasn’t seen in awhile and who has stopped showing up at her swim meets.

Between the growing storm and its wind, rain, and rising floodwaters, not to mention the alligators, Haley and her dad have their hands full. When she finally reaches him, her dad’s seriously injured. Getting into the basement to find and save him proves a lot easier than getting out. The alligators themselves are effectively rendered CGI and realistic models, and there’s a lot of excellent underwater footage. Like the granddaddy of underwater horror, Jaws, Crawl knows how to up the tension ante. The violence is pretty graphic, and the jump scares are frequent and well executed. It really helps that Scodelario gives an all-in performance. She’s 100 percent game as the determined daughter who instead of being a damsel in distress is the hero. She gets battered, bloodied, bruised, and worse, but her grit makes her a quintessential hero. Pepper as her dad also delivers a committed performance, which is what makes these campy, B-movie stories come to life. If you’re looking for an effective horror thriller, this one’s worth a watch.

ECHO IN THE CANYON
What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? The Palm In his directorial debut, co-writer Andrew Slater (with co-writer Eric Barrett) helms this documentary examining the 1960s Laurel Canyon music scene and bands such as The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, and The Mamas and the Papas. Through a mix of archival footage and contemporary interviews, we discover how this seminal time in music history has informed contemporary artists such as Fiona Apple, Beck, Norah Jones, and Jakob Dylan. Both educational and entertaining, this doc is a must-see for anyone with even a passing interest in this fertile moment in rock history, when folk and rock were melded together. The period was rife with cross-pollination of sounds and ideas, as well as collaboration and competition. Did you know, for instance, that The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds (1966) inspired The Beatles to create Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)? The film is guided by Dylan, who conducts interviews with the likes of producer Lou Adler, Jackson Browne, Eric Clapton, David Crosby, Roger McGuinn, Michelle Phillips, Ringo Starr, Tom Petty, and other luminaries of the period. Meanwhile, Dylan has also enlisted a bevy of contemporary performers to re-create some of the classic songs that came out of the Laurel Canyon scene. Fiona Apple, Beck, Jade Castrinos (of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes), Norah Jones, Cat Power, and Regina Spektor are shown practicing the songs and later performing them in concert. And to spice up the proceedings and add vintage color, Slater also mixes in scenes from the 1969 film Model Shop, starring Anouk Aimée and Gary Lockwood, which Slater and Dylan explain helped spark their interest in the ’60s LA folk rock scene. You’ll hear some amazing stories and watch some terrific performances, both archival and contemporary as Dylan leads his cohorts in

Downtown Centre on Sunday, July 21, at 1 p.m. Edward Zwick directs this historical drama about Robert Gould Shaw (Matthew Broderick), who led the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, the first all-black volunteer company, during the U.S. Civil War. Not only did the soldiers fight the Confederacy, they also fought prejudice within the ranks of the Union Army. This stirring piece of cinema is made even stronger by its excellent cast, including Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Andre Braugher, and Cary Elwes playing fictionalized characters. The film is based on Shaw’s letters as well as the books Lay This Laurel by Lincoln Kirstein and One Gallant Rush by Peter Burchard. Nominated for five Academy Awards and bringing home three—Best Supporting Actor for Washington, Best Cinematography for Freddie Francis, and Best Sound—it also garnered a slew of other awards.

Howard clearly has a lot of affection for his subject, and he makes the man as thrilling and interesting as his music.

It’s an impression of Elton’s life. It’s about his struggle with homosexuality, his estrangement from his parents, his rocky relationships, his handling of fame, and his eventual realization that his lifestyle isn’t sustainable.

While there are plenty of one-liners that are definitely flying over the heads of the young audience in the theater, the plot of the film is all over the place.

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Jon Watts (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Clown) directs this story that follows the events of Avengers: Endgame. Peter Parker (Tom Holland) joins besties Ned (Jacob Batalon) and MJ (Zendaya) on a European vacation, hoping for a little heroics-free rest and relaxation, but when Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) comes calling, Peter works to uncover the mystery of otherworldly attacks plaguing Europe. Maybe I’m suffering from comic book movie overload, but this new Spider-Man installment just didn’t “wow” me the way it seems to for most reviewers and audiences. Rotten Tomatoes rates it a 91 percent with critics and 96 percent with audiences. It’s entertaining enough, but I don’t see what all the hype is about. It’s just another big-budget comic book adventure. Peter is mourning the loss of Iron Man and questioning Tony Stark’s belief in him. He’s just a kid, after all, not a “real” Avenger. All he really wants to do is go on his school trip to Europe, where he hopes to generate some sparks with MJ. Meanwhile, a new threat is menacing Earth. We see Nick Fury and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) investigating an unnatural storm generated by a forces they learn are called an Elemental. As the storm rises again, a powerful new superhero named Quentin Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal) shows up to defeat the Elemental.
Pick
To remind us that Peter’s just a high school kid, there’s some teen drama between him and some classmates. Another boy is flirting with MJ, and even nerdy Ned manages to find a girlfriend in overachiever Betty Brant (Angourie Rice) while Peter seems to be getting nowhere with MJ. When the class arrives in Venice, Italy, another Elemental shows up in the form of water, menacing everyone. Beck arrives to save the day again, and Peter works with him. Fury arrives, scolding Peter for avoiding his calls and giving him Stark’s glasses, which contain an artificial intelligence system called E.D.I.T.H., which controls Stark Enterprises’ weapons systems. We also learn that Beck comes from a different reality and that the Elementals killed his family. Even though Peter at first rejects Fury’s call for him to fight impending Elemental attacks, Fury finds a way to involve him anyway by redirecting his school trip to Prague, where the fire Elemental is predicted to strike. Things become even more contrived from there. I won’t bore you with the details. Basically, the film is flawed. Its big switcheroo is too obviously projected, Peter is too gullible (where are your “spidey senses,” dude?), and the entire affair lacks the coherence of its predecessor. There’s nothing I can say that will stop fans from flocking to the theater. The film’s already made more that $90 million. For me, it simply had nothing new to say—just sound and fury signifying nothing. If you’ve got a couple of hours to waste and need a distraction, hit a matinee. These comic book spectacles are best seen in the theater. Hopefully you’ll like it more than I did. (129 min.) —Glen
Stu, and the company he drives for, Uber, which sort of tells you about the level of sophistication you should expect. The mismatched buddy flick is a tired formula, and Stuber tries to mix it up with Stu’s sensitivity and Vic’s toxic masculinity, but its thematic exploration runs shallow. It’s more about violence and trying to sell inexplicable plot twists. If you’re game for inane shenanigans punctuated by gunfights, try a matinee. Otherwise, a rental feels like a better value.

TOY STORY 4
What’s it rated? G Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10, Sunset Drive-In Josh Cooley directs this fourth feature in the Toy Story franchise. This time around, Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) must convince his toy pals to welcome a new addition, Forky (Tony Hale), into their fold, even though Forky is just a spork made into a toy in arts and crafts class by their child, Bonnie. When Bonnie’s family goes on a road trip, Forky takes off, so Woody and a few other toys go in search of him. The Forky stuff is just the tip of the iceberg though; there’s so much going on in this movie. And in my opinion, Forky gets upstaged by at least four other new characters. I’ll start with the villain, a 1950s pullstring doll named Gabby Gabby (Christina Hendricks), who Woody and Forky
Pick
encounter in an antique store on their journey back to Bonnie. Just in case the creepy doll vibe isn’t already eerie enough, “Midnight, the Stars, and You”—you know, the ballroom song from The Shining— starts playing as Gabby Gabby sits in a baby carriage, steered by her posse of demented ventriloquist dummies. I won’t reveal her insidious intentions, but as with most memorable villains, things aren’t so black and white. The film does a great job of exploring her side of the story, and we come to sympathize with Gabby Gabby’s plight, just not the means she uses to rectify it. Some other great new characters include a perfectly cast Duke Caboom (Keanu Reeves), a Canadian daredevil action figure; and the duo of Ducky and Bunny (Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele respectively), a couple of plush toys stuck on the prize rack at a carnival. Those three collectively deliver the best punch lines in the movie, hands down. But in all seriousness, the most badass character in the film is series veteran Bo Peep (Annie Potts), who gets a well-deserved return to the franchise. When I first heard Toy Story 4 was in the works, I felt betrayed and bewildered. Toy Story 3 had such a finality to it, why try to follow a nearly perfect ending to the series? So why keep going? Well, money of course! Little did I know Pixar’s more noble intentions for this installment, which surprisingly opens the door to countless more adventures—for some characters more than others. The final product isn’t the petty cashgrab I was expecting, and believe it or not, I actually enjoyed it even more than Toy Story 3. Fight me! Neither film is on par with 1 or 2 in my book, but wow does this one get pretty darn close. There’s a really genuine story here, which can’t be said of too many fourth entries in a series.

’m content taking photos on my smartphone for nearly an hour before chastising myself. I should be playing with my niece and my daughter, throwing rocks into our favorite creek, not staring at this screen capturing the moments for later. I pocket the phone and start searching for a stone smooth enough to skim a couple of times across the clear snowmelt water. While looking for that perfect projectile, a memory floats to the surface of my mind. “Hey!” I call to my brother. He’s kneeling by my niece, watching her swish both hands in the freezing creek. “Do you remember making boats and trying to float them here?” “Yeah,” he says, looking up with a smile. I change course and start looking for a flat remnant of a log that might prove seaworthy. I find one partially submerged near a logjam, the kind of stick pile my brother and I believed were beaver dams when we were kids. Every summer, my dad and grandparents would take me and my brother to this very spot at General Creek near our Lake Tahoe cabin. We’d walk through the Sugar Pine campground, fishing poles and nets in hand. In late June this year, three generations of my family celebrated the 60th anniversary of our cabin. My dad was 9—the same age as my younger daughter—when he and my grandparents built their vacation home, complete with big porches, a tin roof, and white gingerbread trim. Now, each summer, we fit six adults, three kids, and one Old English sheepdog into the cabin. We’ve become experts at dancing around each other in the tiny kitchen and waiting patiently for the sole bathroom. We enjoy keeping many of our family

Kearns wanted me and a visiting couple to try something special she’d just made and had only a few left—a PB&J bonbon filled with local, organic reduced olallieberries and sweet peanut butter filling. Kearns said they may rename it to fit their luxury chocolaterie a bit better. “How are you on spice?” Kearns asked a few minutes later, before I took a bite of chocolate shaped like hot lips, the “Jalolallieberry”—a cross between jalapeño and olallieberry, soon to be trademarked by Kearns.

D INE ’N’ DISH Tangent Paragon Vineyard 2016 sauvignon blanc
I came home with a pretty blue and gold box of truffles from Sheila Kearns Chocolate & Confection (see this week’s feature) and felt I needed something dry and mineral to balance the sweetness. I like to buy local, but I wanted something bursting with fruit as if it came from Sancerre. So I went for the wine I’ve been drinking all summer long (especially poolside): Tangent winemaker, Templeton soccer coach dad, and surfer Rob Takigawa’s 2016 certified sustainable sauvignon blanc from the cool, coastal Paragon estate Vineyard of Edna Valley owned by the Niven family. Rob and his team’s sauv blanc is made with old-vine grapes, so it has wonderful depth and complexity, while also being clean and bright, silky and light. The twist cap makes it easy to open on picnics too. The well-balanced green apple, guava, and zesty citrus flavors in Rob’s wine go just fine on their own, but with chocolate ... I’d better not go off on a Tangent … I found my bottle of Tangent sauvignon blanc at Whole Foods in SLO. Check for the green “Local” signs. $12.99. ∆ New Times contributor Beth Giuffre is raising a glass. Send cheers to bgiuffre@ newtimesslo.com.

The Draft IS/ MND found the following environmental factors to be less than significant with mitigation incorporated: Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology/Water Quality, Land Use/Planning, Noise, Transportation/ Traffic,Tribal Cultural Resources, and Utilities/Service Systems. Impacts to Aesthetics, Agriculture & Forestry Resources, Energy, Geology/Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Land Use and Planning, Mineral Resources, Population/Housing, Recreation, and Wildfire were found to be less than significant and did not require mitigation measures. APPLICANT: City of Pismo Beach PROJECT LOCATION: The project location includes the incorporated City of Pismo Beach in San Luis Obispo County, California. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of Pismo Beach proposes to update the Housing Element of the City’s General Plan. The City’s 2014 - 2019 General Plan Housing Element Update (GPHEU) policies will provide the overall direction to meet the requirements of the State of California Housing and Community Development (HCD) agency. The project includes four components: 1) adoption of the 2014-2019 Housing Element; 2) adoption of revisions to the General Plan (GP) Land Use Element text and General Plan Map; and 3) adoption of revisions to the Zoning Ordinance text and Zoning Map. 4) Adoption of a Very High Density Residential Overlay Zone. Two ‘opportunity’ sites totaling 2.2 acres are identified for land use and zoning changes from commercial to very high density residential. Both of the sites are located on 4th street. Opportunity site #1 (APN 005-242-019) located at 855 4th street is 1.2 acres in size and is fully developed with an existing medical building, parking, and landscaping. Opportunity site #2 (APN 005-242-027) is a 1.0 acre vacant parcel, located adjacent to the Pismo Lakes Ecological Reserve. The parcel is owned by the City of Pismo Beach. The proposed update to the Housing Element was developed through a land inventory analysis, collaboration with HCD, and public input. The policies and programs contained in the document are intended to streamline housing production in Pismo Beach in accordance with the latest state housing requirements. The proposed 2014-2019 Housing Element consists of the following major components: 1. Introduction to the Housing Element, including the planning context in Pismo Beach, General Plan consistency, and the public participation process (Chapter 1). 2. An analysis of the city’s population and housing characteristics and trends, including special housing needs (Chapter 2). 3. A review of potential governmental, market, and environmental constraints which impact the City’s ability to address housing needs in Pismo Beach (Chapter 3). 4. An evaluation of land and financial resources available to address Pismo Beach’s housing goals (Chapter 4). 5. An evaluation of the previous 2010 Housing Element, its effectiveness, progress in implementation, and appropriateness of goals, objectives, and policies (Chapter 5). 6. Housing goals, policies, and programs to address the city’s identified housing needs (Chapter 6). HAZARDOUS WASTE/SUBSTANCES: Based on a search of the California Department of Toxic Substance Control’s (DTSC) EnviroStor database and the SWRCB Geotracker system, there are several closed leaking underground storage cleanup sites in the City and one open underground injection control site located on Price Canyon Road, north of US 101, none of which are located on the proposed opportunity sites.

LIBRA
(March 21-April 19): An Aries reader sent me a boisterous email. “I was afraid I was getting too bogged down by my duties,” he said, “too hypnotized by routine, too serious about my problems. So I took drastic action.” He then described the ways he broke out of his slump. Here’s an excerpt: “I gave laughing lessons to a cat. I ate a spider. I conducted a sneezing contest. I smashed an alarm clock with a hammer. Whenever an elderly woman walked by, I called out, ‘Hail to the Queen!’ and did a backflip. I gave names to my spoon (Hortense), the table (Beatrice), a fly that was buzzing around (Fallon), and a toothpick (Arturo).” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Aries, you’d be wise to stage a comparable uprising.
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Although you’ll never find an advertisement for Toyota or Coca-Cola or Apple within my horoscope column, you will find hype for spiritual commodities like creativity, love, and freedom. Like everyone else, I’m a huckster. My flackery may be more ethical and uplifting than others’, but the fact is that I still try to persuade you to “buy” my ideas. The moral of the story: Everyone, even the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu, is selling something. I hope that what I’m saying here purges any reluctance you might have about presenting yourself and your ideas in the most favorable light. It’s high time for you to hone your sales pitch; to explain why your approach to life is so wise; to be a forceful spokesperson and role model for the values you hold dear.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Welcome home, homegirls and homeboys. After observing all your homesteading in homes away from home, I’m pleased to see you getting curious about the real home brew again. I wonder how many times I’ll say the word “home” before you register the message that it’s high time for you to home in on some homemade, homegrown homework? Now here’s a special note to any of you who may be feeling psychologically homeless or exiled from your spiritual home: The coming weeks will be a favorable time to address that ache and remedy that problem.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The world is full of eternally restless people who seethe with confused desires they don’t understand. Fueled by such unfathomable urges, they are driven in unknown directions to accomplish fuzzy goals. They may be obsessed in ways that make them appear to be highly focused, but the objects of their obsession are impossible to attain or unite with. Those objects don’t truly exist! I have described this phenomenon in detail, Gemini, because the coming months will offer you all the help and support you could ever need to make sure you’re forever free of any inclination to be like that.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The snow leopards of Central Asia crave a lot of room to wander. Zoologists say that each male prefers its territory to be about 84 square miles, and each female likes to have 44 square miles. I don’t think you’ll require quite that vast a turf in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. But on the other hand, it will be important not to underestimate the spaciousness you’ll need in order to thrive. Give yourself permission to be expansive.
CAPRICORN
(June 21-July 22): What would you say if I asked you to tell me who you truly are? I wouldn’t want to hear so much about your titles and awards. I’d be curious about your sacred mysteries, not your literal history. I’d want to know the treasured secrets you talk about with yourself before you fall asleep. I’d ask you to sing the songs you love and describe the allies who make you feel real. I’d urge you to riff on the future possibilities that both scare you and thrill you. What else? What are some other ways you might show me core truths about your irrepressible soul? Now is a good time to meditate on these riddles.
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I want to do things so wild with you that I don’t know how to say them.” Author Anaïs Nin wrote that in a letter to her Capricorn lover Henry Miller. Is there anyone you could or should or want to say something like that? If your answer is yes, now is a good time to be so candid and bold. If the answer is no, now would be a good time to scout around for a person to whom you could or should or want to say such a thing. And if you’d like to throw in a bit more enticement, here’s another seductive lyric from Anaïs: “Only the united beat of sex and heart together can create ecstasy.”
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Isaac Asimov wrote a science fiction story about a physicist who masters time travel and summons William Shakespeare into the present time. The Bard enrolls in a night school class about his own plays—and proceeds to flunk the course. Modern ideas and modes of discourse are simply too disorienting to him. He is unable to grasp the theories that centuries’ worth of critics have developed about his work. With this as a cautionary tale, I invite you to time-travel not four centuries into the future, but just 10 years. From that vantage point, look back at the life you’re living now. How would you evaluate and understand it? Do you have any constructive criticism to offer? Any insights that could help you plan better for your long-term future? (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to buy yourself toys, change your image for no rational reason, and indulge in an interesting pleasure that you have been denying yourself for no good reason. In addition, I hope you will engage in at least two heart-to-heart talks with yourself, preferably using funny voices and comical body language. You could also align yourself gracefully with cosmic rhythms by dancing more than usual, and by goofing off more than usual, and by wandering in the wilderness and seeking to recapture your lost innocence more than usual.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are growing almost too fast, but that won’t necessarily be a problem—as long as you don’t expect everyone around you to grow as fast as you. I suspect that you also know almost too much—but I don’t anticipate that will spawn envy and resistance as long as you cultivate a bit of humility. I have an additional duty to report that you’re on the verge of being too attractive for your own good— although you have not yet actually reached the tipping point, so maybe your hyper-attractiveness will serve you rather than undermine you. In conclusion, Scorpio, I invite you to celebrate your abundance, but don’t flaunt it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Did you hear the story about the California mom who started a series of forest fires so as to boost her son’s career as a firefighter? She is an apt role model for behavior you should diligently avoid in the coming weeks. It’s unwise and unprofitable for you and yours to stir up a certain kind of trouble simply because it’s trouble that you and yours have become skilled at solving. So how should you use your problem-solving energy, which I suspect will be at a peak? I suggest you go hunting for some very interesting and potentially productive trouble that you haven’t wrangled with before—some rousing challenge that will make you even smarter than you already are.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The heroine of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass is curious, adventurous, and brave. First, she follows a well-dressed rabbit down a rabbit hole into an alternate universe. Later, she slips through a mirror into yet another parallel reality. Both times, with great composure, she navigates her way through many odd, paranormal, and unpredictable events. She enjoys herself immensely as she deals with a series of unusual characters and unfamiliar situations. I’m going to speculate that Alice is a Pisces. Are you ready for your very own Alice-inWonderland phase? Here it comes! ∆
