SLO County rescinds cannabis permit for York Mountain Road

A

few months ago, it was one of San Luis Obispo County’s first permitted cannabis farms.

Now, beleaguered by an appeal, lawsuits, and bad blood, a proposed cultivation site in west Templeton is dead for the time being.

On July 16, the SLO County Board of Supervisors rescinded Frank Ricigliano, Roberto Covey, and Laura Gardner’s minor use permit to grow 22,000 square-feet of indoor cannabis on agricultural land off York Mountain Road.

The board’s action came at the request of the applicants, who claim they face upward of $500,000 in costs related to ongoing litigation.

“The project is no longer economically viable,” read a July 9 letter the applicants sent to the county.

The York Mountain Road project was first approved in 2018 as a 3-acre outdoor grow and greenhouse on a 78-acre parcel owned by Ricigliano and Susan Sullivan.

Ian McPhee, owner of McPhee’s Restaurant in Templeton, appealed its approval to the Board of Supervisors. He and others who opposed it alleged that the grow was incompatible with the neighborhood and would have undesirable impacts.

In response to his appeal, the applicants agreed to cancel plans for the outdoor grow.

They also entered into an agreement with McPhee on March 26 promising to not cultivate outdoor cannabis for 20 years.

But after clearing the appeal, on May 1 “Save York Mountain,” a resident group, hit the applicants and county with a lawsuit. The suit alleged that the project, which included a 30,000-square-foot building, skirted proper environmental review.

While it was the county that exempted the project from California Environmental Quality Act regulations, the applicants had to defend the lawsuit.

“The conditions of approval on the project require the applicant to defend and indemnify the county in the event of litigation,” County

Counsel Rita Neal told New Times via email.

As that lawsuit carried on, on July 8 McPhee filed a new lawsuit against Ricigliano.

That suit claimed Ricigliano planted 15 acres of hemp on the property, thereby violating the terms of their “no outdoor cannabis” agreement.

“Definitions [for cannabis and hemp] are virtually identical,” the complaint reads. “[McPhee’s] concerns stemmed from the quality of life impacts (odor being the most significant) that cultivation of cannabis in open air would have on the surrounding area and its inhabitants. The THC content of the particular strain of cannabis plant was never the issue; the plant itself was.”

Cambria preps for potential PG&E shutoff

The Cambria Community Services District unanimously voted on July 18 to spend nearly $50,000 on a backup generator for its water distribution system. It will serve as a power source if the district’s electricity is shut off as part of PG&E’s Public Safety Power Shutoff program.

District staff evaluated its backup power supply and found that the administration office, the fire department, its emergency operations center, and the wastewater treatment plant would be secure—each has its own backup generator. But the district’s water distribution system has a generator from 1970 that failed to achieve the required power output.

While awaiting installation of the permanent replacement, staff received quotes for a rental generator to provide the necessary backup power supply. The rental will cost the district almost $2,000 per month.

The evaluation came about as PG&E announced plans to temporarily shut off power

in areas where electrical and transmission lines pass through high fire-threat areas. The California Public Utilities Commission has two categories of high fire-threat areas: Tier 2 (elevated risk) and Tier 3 (extreme risk).

Cambria is a Tier 2.

Steve Crawford spoke on behalf of PG&E at Cambria’s Wildfire Preparedness Day on June 29. He said that the company would only proactively turn off lines to help reduce the likelihood of an ignition when extreme fire danger conditions are forecast.

According to PG&E, in order for it to consider flipping the switch, there would have to be a red flag warning declared by the National Weather Service, 20 percent lower humidity levels, winds forecast above 25 miles per hour and wind gusts in excess of 45 miles per hour, dry fuel on the ground, and real-time observations from PG&E personnel.

Crawford said PG&E plans to alert the community a day ahead of any anticipated emergency.

NEWS from page 4

Cambria Community Services District Board President David Pierson said there are two transition lines that run through the community.

“If there is a red flag event, [the transition lines] are in the red zone so they might have to turn one or both of them off,” Pierson said.

Loss of power could affect Cambria residents for three to five days—or longer, according to John Weigold, the district’s new general manager.

“My gut tells me there’s a good potential for that to be extended even longer, because before they restore power, they have to visually inspect every single line—the entire length of whatever they turned off,” Weigold said.

Grange organization claims SLO Guild Hall wrongfully took its property

The California State Grange, a nonprofit organization, and local chapter SLO Grange No. 639 claim the San Luis Obispo Guild Hall knowingly took over its property at 2880 Broad St. without consent.

A complaint filed on July 17 against the SLO Guild Hall alleges that the organization wrongfully asserted control over the property, the items inside the hall (including chairs and kitchenware), funds from Grange-owned bank accounts, and that it repeatedly trespassed on Grange property.

On April 5, 2013, the California State Grange’s charter was revoked, the lawsuit states, but its charter was restored in July 2014. According to the lawsuit, following the revocation of the State Grange’s charter, former officers and members formed the California Guild, improperly retained control of the State Grange’s property, and attempted to convince Grange members to leave the organization.

On Nov. 16, 2015, the California Superior Court for Sacramento County declared the State Grange was properly reorganized, is the only entity entitled to use and control the State Grange’s property, and that the California Guild has an obligation to return all Grange property in its possession, the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit alleges that members of some local divisions of the Grange organization disaffiliated and become

members of the new California Guild— one of them being the San Luis Obispo Grange No. 639.

Members of the SLO Grange submitted paperwork with the California Secretary of State on July 19, 2016, the lawsuit claims, to change the name of the local corporation to the SLO Guild Hall.

The lawsuit states the SLO Grange didn’t report to the State Grange its intention to change its name nor did the State Grange approve of the name change, which is required under the organization’s laws.

A deed recorded with the SLO County Clerk Recorder’s Office in 2016 transferred the title of the property from SLO Grange to SLO Guild Hall, the lawsuit claims, without permission from the state-level organization.

On July 17, 2019, a representative of SLO Grange and the state-level organization contacted the SLO Guild to demand the return of all property and to demand that it cease and desist its trespassing.

New Times reached out to the SLO Guild Hall for comment but did not hear back before press time.

Another riverbed fire hits Paso Robles

Firefighters extinguished another brush fire in the Salinas Riverbed on July 22 in Paso Robles, less than a week after the city declared the river a public safety emergency.

The fire started around 6 p.m. in the riverbed just north of the Highway 101 and Highway 46 east intersection.

A crew of 62 firefighters from several departments contained it to 2 acres.

Investigators later found matches and a lighter near the area of origin. There are no suspects in the case, and it remains under investigation.

The fire marks the 70th that was sparked in the riverbed this year, and the 185th since 2018.

“We haven’t even hit our peak fire season,” Paso Robles Fire Chief Jonathan Stornetta told New Times.

Stornetta said nearly all of the fires in the riverbed appear to originate from homeless camps, since they’re “mostly deep in the riverbed.”

Causes range from fallen-over candles to warming fires to cooking fires, he said. Cases of suspected arson are rare.

Typically, there are no witnesses or suspects.

“The people who started them flee the area,” Stornetta said. “When you go down to the riverbed, there’s no one around.”

Paso has one riverbed fire case that it plans to send to the SLO County District Attorney’s Office for potential prosecution.

“We were able to locate a suspect that it was his camp [where the fire started],” Stornetta said.

The city’s July 16 emergency proclamation sets the stage for a proposed $361,000 cleanup of the river vegetation and the homeless camps.

Stornetta said the fire department is working with a biologist to conduct a survey of the area and is reviewing private contractors to help with the project.

“We expect our numbers to continue to grow if we don’t get down there to do some hazardous fuel reduction,” he said.

Farmhouse Motel in Paso sued for bedbugs

A guest of the Farmhouse Motel in Paso Robles claims that motel management knew there were bedbugs in the room they assigned her and did nothing about it.

A complaint filed on July 22 against the Farmhouse Motel and its owner, Kevin Lee, alleges the hotel knew it had a bedbug infestation, which resulted in Lisa Vergara’s multiple bedbug bites.

According to the lawsuit, Vergara

by Jayson Mellom

checked in to the motel on July 21, 2017, and was assigned to room 22.

On July 30, 2017, she discovered 65 bedbug bites on her body, all in a trailtype formation, and began to experience severe itching, the lawsuit claims. In the suit, Vergara said she remembered seeing two bugs in the motel bed but had assumed they were cockroaches.

She checked out of the motel on Aug. 1, 2017, and notified the manager about her bedbug bites. The lawsuit alleges that the manager just laughed in response. After her stay, the lawsuit states, Vergara spent many evenings washing and steaming her luggage and clothing so that she would not risk spreading the infestation.

On Aug. 3, 2017, she sought medical treatment, was diagnosed with bedbug bites, and prescribed antibiotics the lawsuit claims. Due to the extensiveness of the bedbug bites and the constant itching and pain, Vergara sought further medical attention. She still has physical scarring on her body, the lawsuit states, and she suffers from emotional scarring as a result of the bites.

According to the lawsuit, as a result of the incident, she incurred various expenses, including medical costs, the cost of the motel room, and the replacement cost of her luggage, clothing, and other belongings exposed to the infestation at the motel.

New Times reached out to Farmhouse Motel, which declined to comment. Δ —Karen Garcia

Ideas not people SLO City Council to ban public art of individuals in wake of Roosevelt controversy

M

onuments and statues honoring individual people will soon be explicitly prohibited on San Luis Obispo city property.

At a July 16 meeting, the SLO City Council agreed to amend the city’s public art policy to exclude works of specific people. Council members argued that most individuals, especially those from history, are too complex and controversial to glorify.

“Why would we step into lifting up individual people,” SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon said, “who are undoubtedly complex, flawed people who have moments of genius and brilliance—no doubt— but also moments where [they made] incredibly bad decisions?”

Councilmember Andy Pease added that determining which subjects were worth honoring on scarce public property would be a challenge.

“We don’t have that much space,” Pease said.

The city policy amendment—which will come back to the council for approval at a future date—would likely thwart one local group’s hopes to install a monument of Theodore Roosevelt in Mitchell Park.

Proposed as a tribute to the former president, his 1903 visit to SLO, and his conservation legacy, the monument sparked a contentious community debate that swirled around Roosevelt’s views and policies toward Native Americans and other minorities.

It spurred the July 16 City Council policy discussion on public art.

“I was baffled,” John Ashbaugh, who heads the Roosevelt monument committee, said about the City Council’s direction. “I think they have a complete misunderstanding of the nature of this project. I think they have fallen prey to the contemporary slander that’s been directed at not just Theodore Roosevelt, but virtually everybody who’s contributed to American history.”

At the meeting, Harmon said that honoring historic U.S. leaders is inherently problematic and pointed to recent cases nationwide of monuments coming down or sparking conflict.

“I think it’s essential we know our history,” Harmon said, “but the celebration of our cultural heritage often contributes to discrimination and lifting up of racism because the history of the United States is rooted in white supremacy.”

Councilmember Erica Stewart agreed that erecting monuments to specific people today could create problems for the city down the road.

“One person who is fabulous today, maybe isn’t so fabulous later; it’s just how life goes,” Stewart said. “We find out more information about someone.”

Public art in SLO will celebrate “ideas and ideals,” not specific people, the council decided.

“My strong feeling on this is that our policy reflect the true values and heart of this city. To not lift up individuals at

CITY ART DEBATE The San Luis Obispo City Council plans to ban public art of specific people in favor of conceptbased art like this anonymous Chinese rail worker at SLO’s Amtrak station.

all, but to instead celebrate the ideas and ideals that make this community what it is,” Harmon said.

In addition to agreeing to prohibit art of individuals, the City Council also asked to add a diversity and inclusion “value statement” into SLO’s policy. The statement wouldn’t serve as criteria for art, but rather as a suggestive “lens” for artists and the city to use as projects are proposed.

“I think if we add it into our value set, that might be helpful to move the needle,” Harmon said.

One council member, Carlyn Christianson, opposed the art policy direction. She criticized it as reactionary and an overreach.

“I do not want to make a policy that basically eliminates entire genres of art. I don’t believe in doing that,” Christianson said. “I also think it’s incredibly dangerous to formulate policy with a specific project in mind.”

Ashbaugh, who was on the SLO City Council from 2008 to 2016, told New Times that despite the council’s decision, he will continue to work on the project. He said it’s earned “substantial” community support, and that the group is exploring “a variety of options” for moving forward, including reframing it as tribute to the local environmental movement.

“We feel strongly that the project deserves a hearing, and we are dismayed that the council has taken this action, which appears to be precipitous, arbitrary, capricious, and completely unwarranted,” he said.

In a swipe at Harmon and a nod to the 26th president, Ashbaugh also said it’s plausible that Harmon wouldn’t be where she is today if Roosevelt hadn’t come to town to deliver a conservationthemed speech in Mitchell Park. That, in his view, helped plant the seed for SLO County’s environmentalism.

“It’s quite possible she would have never been elected herself,” Ashbaugh said.

“Roosevelt is part of a long continuum of community leaders and activists who brought us to the place we are today.” Δ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION HEARINGS FOR PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY’S REQUEST TO INCREASE RATES FOR ITS NUCLEAR DECOMMISSIONING APPLICATIONS (A. 18-07-013 AND A.18-12-008) Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) would like to hear from you.

County Government Center County Government Center County Board of Supervisors Chamber County Board of Supervisors Chamber 1055 Monterrey Street, San Luis Obispo, 93408 1055 Monterrey Street, San Luis Obispo, 93408 INFORMATION HEARINGS At each location there will also be information hearings beginning an hour before the PPHs. The purpose of the information hearings is to provide an overview of PG&E’s applications, the decommissioning process, and the issues to be addressed in this proceeding.

ABOUT THE APPLICATIONS Every three years, PG&E is required to file a Nuclear Decommissioning Cost Triennial Proceeding (NDCTP) application with the CPUC. On December 13, 2018, PG&E filed its 2018 Nuclear Decommissioning Cost Triennial Proceeding application with the CPUC. The Application, A.18-12-008, includes updated decommissioning costs since the application was filed. This application is consistent with the CPUC’s decision to retire Diablo Canyon Power Plant in 2025 to meet California’s evolving energy policies and increase the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency resources.

Some of the decommissioning costs to be considered in this application include: • Planning and preparation for decommissioning activities • Obtaining necessary regulatory approvals and permits • Demolition and disposal of existing site facilities • Site restoration activities • Managing spent nuclear fuel storage until disposal by the Department of Energy • Maintaining necessary security operations PG&E seeks $417 million for each year covered in this application, which are 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Application A.18-07-013 requests authority to establish the Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Planning Memorandum Account to track the cost of decommissioning planning activities for recovery in the Nuclear Decommissioning Cost Triennial Proceeding application.

HOW WILL PG&E’S APPLICATIONS AFFECT ME? Based on rates in effect when the application was submitted, the bill for a typical residential bundled nonCARE customer using 500 kWh per month would increase from $113.64 to $116.03, or 2.1%, if the CPUC approves PG&E’s request.

Direct Access and Community Choice Aggregation customers only receive electric transmission and distribution services from PG&E. On average, these customers will see an increase of 4.2%.

Departing Load customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PG&E. However, they are required by law or CPUC decision to pay certain charges. On average, these customers will see an increase of 39.8%.

Actual impacts will vary depending on usage. Detailed rate information was provided in a bill insert sent directly to customers in January.

Battling the future Central Coast communities work to protect themselves from the inevitable:

BY NEW TIMES STAFF that next wildfire

F

ire seasons in 2017 and 2018 caused the residents of California to take a long, hard look at themselves, their electricity providers, the way their forests are managed, what their evacuation plans look like, and whether their homes are protected.

Communities on the Central Coast face fire yearly, from Lake Nacimiento to the forested hills outside of Santa Barbara. It’s just a fact of life. But the questions are: How prepared are we to face the next big one? And what are we doing to protect ourselves?

For this week’s cover story, our reporters each took on a piece of that puzzle.

New laws for a new normal

The hundreds of lives, thousands of homes, and billions of dollars lost in recent catastrophic wildfires like the Thomas Fire in Santa Barbara County and the Camp Fire in the town of Paradise forced state and local leaders to confront tough questions.

In the past year, state legislators adopted a slew of laws aimed at addressing these questions and avoiding the devastation seen the past two years.

“This is life or death,” Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-Templeton), who represents San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara counties, told New Times.

“We can’t sustain years like 2017 and 2018. There’s just no way.”

On July 12, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1054. The legislation paves a path forward for the utilities facing billions of dollars in liability for wildfire damages and is seen as an unfortunate but necessary step back to normalcy.

PG&E alone has around $30 billion in liability. In January, the company filed for bankruptcy, and the new law sets a June 2020 deadline for PG&E to complete FILE PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

FIRE FIGHTS Firefighters work to put out the 2016 Chimney Fire in northern San Luis Obispo County. Catastrophic fire seasons in 2018 and 2019 triggered a slew of new state laws to address fire prevention, safety, and liability.

bankruptcy proceedings. It requires that PG&E get through bankruptcy and make its fire victims whole before it’s allowed to participate in a new plan for resolving utility wildfire liability in the future.

It’s called a wildfire victims’ insurance fund, which utilities can dip into for liability costs that exceed their insurance coverage.

There are two options in the legislation for how the fund is structured, and the companies make the choice. The most likely outcome is the creation of a new account with about $21 billion in it. Half of it will be paid by ratepayers, and the other half will be paid by the utilities.

Under this structure, ratepayers wouldn’t see an increase in their bills, per se. It extends a $2.50 per month charge that ratepayers have already been paying since the early 2000s, which was set to expire.

The law also forces the power companies to invest $5 billion from shareholder funds into fire hardening their infrastructure, and it requires them to obtain safety certifications from the state on equipment before fire season.

Some critics point out, though, that the safety certification will make holding utilities responsible for wildfires more difficult, because it shifts the burden onto victims to show that the utility acted unreasonably.

Cunningham supported AB 1054.

He said the law strikes the right balance between protecting fire victims, ratepayers, and utility employees—while also preparing for the future.

“I think it’s a good piece of legislation,” he said. “It will direct some money into preventing big fires. It protects the ratepayers. It gets money to the fire victims. It protects our employees. And we’re doing all that while not raising people’s electricity bill.”

Senate Bill 901, adopted last summer, sends $1 billion over the next five years

to vegetation management activities statewide—which means more controlled burns, forest thinning, and other projects to reduce fire fuels. It also streamlined the process for these projects. Related legislation, Assembly Bill 2551, authorized Cal Fire to help private landowners with prescribed burns.

Cal Fire San Luis Obispo Chief Scott Jalbert said that for decades California had scaled back its vegetation management, which left the state vulnerable as drought and global warming hit.

“The summers are going longer, the temperatures are getting hotter, and we have an abundance of not just fuel, but now we have this abundance of dead fuels,” Jalbert said. “As money comes in, we implement the plans to reduce those fuel loads.”

The $1 billion funding injection isn’t available to local agencies yet, but it will kick in during the 2019-20 fiscal year.

Other state laws focus on fire preparedness. Senate Bill 969 requires all new electric garage doors to include backup batteries so that they open during a power outage. Senate Bill 833 requires the state Office of Emergency Services to develop new statewide protocols for emergency alert systems.

Assembly Bill 2911 outlines a variety of new fire safety initiatives, including re-examining building codes, updating fire hazard plans, conducting public information campaigns, and requiring removal of dead or dying trees near transmission lines.

State and local agencies focus on reducing fuel loads

As the number and severity of wildfires throughout California continue to increase, state and local officials are looking toward fuel reduction projects as

a possible way to protect communities from these disasters.

After decades of shying away from fuel reduction projects—which generally involve removing trees and shrubs or intentionally burning vegetation in an identified area— the state is making these projects a priority again, said Scott Jalbert, Cal Fire San Luis Obispo unit chief.

“We’ve woken up,” he said. “The state has put $1 billion in five years invested into reducing fuel loads.”

In late May this year, Cal Fire awarded Santa Barbara County a grant for $2.2 million to complete fuel reduction projects in Lompoc Valley over the next four years.

This was part of $43 million in funding Cal Fire announced that it awarded to 66 local fire prevention projects throughout the state for fiscal year 2018-19.

Similar projects are taking place in Los Padres National Forest as well. Over the last nine months, the U.S. Forest Service announced two large-scale tree removal projects in the Mount Pinos Ranger District.

Forest Service ecologist Nicole Molinari said the forest, which historically used to have very few trees, has grown denser over time. This means that if a fire were to ignite, it would burn much more intensely than previously.

“A fire that used to burn on the surface, that would be fairly easy for a firefighter to put out, now there is so much biomass in the system that it also impedes the ability for firefighters to stop these fires, because they are really raging,” Molinari said.

Removing trees from dense areas of forest also potentially reduces the number of trees that could die during a drought because fewer trees will have to compete for water, Molinari said.

The portions of Los Padres National Forest closer to the coast aren’t as forested as the Mount Pinos area, so different fuel reduction projects are needed, Molinari said. Projects in the shrublands on the Central Coast usually include prescribed burns and fuel breaks, which are strips of land where shrubs and vegetation are removed to provide firefighters with access to the fire’s location.

REMOVING THE SOURCE: As the number and severity of wildfires increases, officials are looking at fuel reduction measures, such as tree removal, to protect communities.

Jalbert said one reason the state backed away from carrying out prescribed burns and other fuel reduction projects for a while is because of pushback from environmental groups that were

concerned about burning vegetation.

“The idea is we don’t want to burn it,” Jalbert said. “We just want to cut it, chop it, haul it off to the dump. But there’s certain areas that’s cost prohibitive.”

Some conservation groups are also pushing back against tree removal projects taking place in Los Padres National Forest.

Los Padres ForestWatch’s conservation director, Bryant Baker, said the projects don’t place a limit on the size of trees that can be removed, which means older, larger trees that are more fire resistant can be removed, not just smaller trees.

Additionally, he said he doesn’t agree that removing large amounts of trees will actually provide any sort of wildfire relief.

According to Baker, removing large trees will increase the amount of wind passing through the forest, which can increase the severity and the amount of area a fire covers.

“So, it may be counterintuitive, but when you have, especially these larger trees, and you have more vegetation in the forests, you can actually buffer against wind effects and heating effects,” Baker said.

Despite differences in opinion about what needs to be done, there’s an increasing sense of urgency that action must be taken to combat what’s becoming a year-round fire season, Cal Fire’s Jalbert said.

However, this effort is going to take time.

“Now we’ve come to a state where we have to do something,” Jalbert said. “The thing the public needs to understand is this problem wasn’t created overnight. It’s going to take decades to fix it.”

First responders expect surge in emergencies during power outages

With California’s increasingly hot and dry summer weather, it’s becoming all the more likely that electricity could be shut off in huge swaths of the state for days at a time, a daunting reality that first responders and cities on the Central Coast are trying to prepare for.

Utility providers Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and Southern California Edison will be administering “public safety power shutoffs” when weather conditions are especially hot, dry, or windy in an attempt to prevent future wildfires like the burns the companies were blamed for in 2017 and 2018.

Customers in high fire-threat areas are more likely to be affected by the outages, but the utility companies say that because energy systems rely on power lines working together across regions, a blackout could impact any of the millions of customers who receive electric service from PG&E and Southern California Edison.

Extended power outages have historically led to tremendous surges in calls for emergency service, according to Daniel Bertucelli, public information officer for the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. That will be especially challenging for local fire departments to handle during the height of fire season, he said, when most resources will be focused on fire suppression and prevention.

“There’s only so much we can do,” Bertucelli said.

Without electricity, grocery stores and businesses are often forced to close, air conditioning doesn’t work, Wi-Fi goes out, cellphones die, traffic signals go down, and people who rely on electric medical equipment—including oxygen pumps and dialysis machines—struggle

to adapt. Blackouts lead to more traffic accidents, injuries, and health emergencies, Bertucelli said.

“So we’re definitely preparing for it and planning for it and anticipating a significant increase in call volume,” he said.

There are more than 1,600 Medicare recipients who are dependent on electricity for medical care in Santa Barbara County, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. While some of those residents may live in facilities that are required to have standby backup generators, Bertucelli said, many likely live in residential care facilities.

There are roughly 75 residential care facilities in Santa Barbara County without backup generators, he said.

While all hospitals and skilled nursing facilities are required to have standby generators that automatically turn on when electricity is shut off, residential care facilities do not, according to Jan Koegler, manager of Santa Barbara County’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program.

Residential care facilities are much smaller than hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, Koegler said, and most only have a handful of beds and patients, many of whom might not be reliant on electricity-dependent machines.

Residential care facilities are, however, required to have specific plans for how to address each patient’s needs in the event of an outage, and Koegler said planning is something every Californian should be doing right now, regardless of where they live or work. In most emergency situations, she said, simply having a plan is the best way to avoid serious incidents.

Lompoc, which owns its own electric utility but uses PG&E for transmission, is working to inform its residents of the possible public safety power shutoffs through social media and press releases.

At a Lompoc City Council meeting on July 16, Electric Utility Manager Tikan Singh presented on the power shutoffs and a program that would waive backup generators’ permitting fees to encourage residents and businesses to install them.

umanKind Fair Trade’s storefront in downtown SLO stands out from the rest with its ever-changing window display. Currently, it holds a large, colorful No. 10 and a tree—both handmade. The number signifies 10 years of making a difference as a storefront and nonprofit.

The shop is also unique in its efforts to work with developing and disadvantaged communities globally by selling goods created by artisans in their respective countries.

HumanKind came about from an experience that Elizabeth Aebischer had when she was participating in organizing an alternative holiday gift market at her church, the First Presbyterian Church in San Luis Obispo.

“We would sell $1,000 worth of product in two hours. And somebody said, ‘We need to make this a brick-and-mortar store,’” Aebischer said.

In 2007, she gathered some friends with the same desire to be a part of the fair trade effort and formed a nonprofit corporation. Their goal was to open a brick-and-mortar in the downtown area. After a fundraising campaign and donations, the shop opened in 2009.

“I think when we first opened the store, there probably weren’t as many people that came through our doors that were aware of fair trade. We spent more time educating people on what that meant,” said Lauren Mullen, president of the store’s board of directors.

Now that the community understands what fair trade is, Mullen said, shoppers are interested in learning about where the products come from and who their purchase will benefit.

While every item in the store has a story behind it, she said the Haitian metal art pieces are her favorite. Mullen said it was a type of item they started carrying from the beginning. Shortly after the store opened, a catastrophic earthquake hit Haiti.

“We had already had customers that felt a connection to the art that they bought, so they came in and asked what happened to the artisans in Haiti,” Mullen said.

HumanKind learned that all of the artisans had survived. Their workshop was destroyed, but they still had their tools.

“They said, ‘You know we will be fine,

and we will recover. All we need is people in America, Europe, and Australia to keep buying our products, and we will recover,’” she said. “I always tell people [the artisans] don’t want aid. They want to trade with us.”

All of the products in HumanKind are certified by the Fair Trade Federation and hand-picked by LynAnne Wiest, the store manager.

“She has been doing an amazing job, and she’s really committed to fair trade, great with making displays, and really pushing our store to the next level,” Aebischer said.

The nonprofit prides itself on knowing that the proceeds from every purchase go to HumanKind, its efforts, and the artisans.

Mullen said that in a lot of the fairtrade cooperatives that HumanKind works with, the artisans get a say in how profits get spent, whether on education or health care for their community.

“The other thing that fair trade is, is it often incorporates their culture and art through the product. We kind of are enriched by people we will never meet, and we know the things that we buy and are in our houses are really helping someone,” Mullen said.

Jack’s Helping Hand’s 13th annual barbecue, on July 11, was another sold-out and widely successful fundraiser. According to the organization, the community gave more than $580,000 to the nonprofit, which is dedicated to filling the unmet needs of local children and young adults with cancer or special needs. More than 650 guests attended the fundraiser at Santa Margarita Ranch, which included a barbecue buffet, entertainment, and a live auction. Ninety percent of the proceeds benefit Jack’s Helping Hand programs, including the Assistance Program, a resource that provides special treatments, services, expensive equipment, and transportation to children with special needs and their families.

Commentary

BY ROBERT LEWIN

Shutoffs aren’t the answer Power utilities’ new policy to prevent fires will cause more problems than it will solve

T

he devastation of climate-changeinduced wildfires is real and will continue to get worse as we see new fires eclipse previous fires in size, destruction, and deaths. Shutting off the power will prevent some of these fires, but are the impacts acceptable?

California is embarking on a statewide experiment that we have not fully planned for. All the major utilities in California now have a Public Safety Power Shutdown (PSPS) plan that will give the public at best 48 hours notice that their power will be shut off for multiple days. These shutdowns will affect not only people who live in wildland areas, but also people who live on a circuit that traverses a wildland area.

There is unequivocal agreement that California must reduce the number of destructive and deadly fires occurring in a climate changing world. But is the cure worse than the disease? Most of the public is oblivious to what is at stake, and there is not consistency in what local governments will do to keep their communities safe from the multitude of impacts that will likely occur.

California public resources code establishes many requirements for utilities to follow to prevent powerline-caused fires. Even if the utility is following all of the rules, the utility is responsible for wildfire damage caused by their equipment. It is a doctrine known as “inverse condemnation.” Only California

HODIN

and Alabama have this use of inverse condemnation. Several of the recent deadly fires in California were caused from power lines under this doctrine.

PSPS-activated outages, authorized under the California Public Utility Commission, will occur during days identified as extreme fire days—when the vegetation is dry, the winds are blowing, and the temperatures are high.

Days we usually associate with Red Flag Warnings may now be days we associate as days without power.

PSPS impacts are significant. Most affected will be people who are dependent on electricity for medical devices such as oxygenator machines, dialysis, and electric wheelchairs. The elderly and others will have no electricity to run needed air conditioning and fans on days of record-breaking heat.

Almost all gas stations in communities affected will have no power. Street signals, restaurant refrigeration, elevators, and school classrooms will all be without power.

Even firefighters who are responding to fires will not have adequate water that relies on electric pumps to fill tanks and pressurize hydrants. Farmers and ranchers may not have water for crops and livestock.

Buying individual generators to provide power during a PSPS is not a viable solution. Generators can be expensive, a cost many people cannot afford. They

require special wiring that if not done right may backfeed power into the grid where it too could cause a fire. In addition, they produce excessive carbon and pollutants, neither of which we need more of.

We are reliant on cellphones to both alert the community during disasters and for people to get news updates and locate and meet our loved ones. Cellphones will need to be recharged. Many cell towers do not have redundant systems to continue to operate without power, potentially leaving areas of a community in a communication blackout. Even cable TV and house phones could be affected.

California, the fifth largest economy in the world, has little tolerance for the impacts of multi-day power outage caused by accidents and disasters let alone ones that are caused by the utilities simply turning off the power on critical fire days. The rolling blackouts in the year 2000-01 caused such a crisis and eventually contributed to Gov. Gray Davis being recalled.

The utilities have already done a lot to try to reduce power-line-caused fires.

They have hired fire meteorologists and added hundreds of weather stations to ensure they have good data on the conditions that could trigger a power-linecaused fire. They have already hardened many power poles and hardware and cleared trees and vegetation around and below conductors.

They have surveyed their grid with aircraft and drones looking for maintenance issues. They have written wildfire mitigation plans approved by the California Public Utilities Commission.

Further, they are committed to doing more. No question, they are concerned and focused. They communicate that PSPS is a last resort in the prevention of utility-caused fires. That said, PSPS should not be a permanent solution.

The design and engineering of electrical equipment needs to be commensurate with the extreme conditions of the environment. Systems should be designed for the potential threat that could cause failure of that system’s equipment. We don’t evacuate buildings during high winds because the buildings are designed to withstand the winds. Such should be the same for the electrical equipment that makes up the electrical grid: Design it so it will not fail.

The utilities need to have a date certain when the need for PSPS is no longer necessary. When all the system is hardened to a point where wildland fires are no longer caused from faulty equipment, poorly maintained equipment, equipment not designed for the environment it is located in. So when will PSPS no longer be used, and do we even have the tolerance for its use now?

While the local governments have requested it, the utilities have not yet provided them with an accurate analysis of how many people could be affected when an area is de-energized.

When pressed on conducting model runs for communities to see what areas and impacts a PSPS would cause, the utilities seem unable. Local governments currently have no idea how significant a PSPS will be in their communities. Will it COMMENTARY continued page 16

ARTS WRITER Join Our Team!

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

Are you sick of editing or regurgitating press releases about nothing exciting day after day? Or maybe it’s those damn list things—you know the ones: “Top 10 ironic places to find hipsters painting lemons on top of bicycles.”

Or maybe it’s just not being able to put the time and reporting into a story that deserves it: the weeks and repeated meet-and-greets that give a story what it needs to ripen into the nuanced, spellbinding narrative it’s dying to be.

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

If so, then that’s exactly who we’re looking for: an arts writer who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to San Luis Obispo County. It’s not all about vineyards, rolling hills, and pounding surf brushed with light, ethereal watercolors (although that’s definitely here). It’s about that human element and where creativity lives. Can you find it?

Let us know if you’ve got what it takes.

We dare you. Send résumé and clips to Cindy Rucker at crucker@newtimesslo.com.

be 100 people or 100,000 people who will be in the dark?

The utilities have been asked what they will do to mitigate the impacts, and, in general, the simple answer from them is that it’s the customers who must prepare, it’s the government and businesses who must prepare.

Neither local governments nor businesses are fiscally ready for this. A restaurant, a school, a bank—none of them are prepared to be closed for multiple days. In an emergency, the government assumes that they will expend local, state, and federal funds to respond to and recover from that emergency. The impacts of a PSPS will essentially create a multiple-day emergency, yet there are no government funds to pay for the response to that emergency. This includes creating cooling shelters, phone charging stations, checking on people, securing darkened neighborhoods from crime, activating Emergency Operations Centers and a Call Center, and checking in on our vulnerable populations.

When the utilities were asked if they will pay for this response, the answer was simply avoided. They will not make that commitment.

Approximately 9 percent of all fires are caused by vehicles and 9 percent by power lines, yet we don’t close highways when there are extreme fire condition days. We would simply not consider disrupting lives this way.

If utilities are liable for the damage caused from a wildfire under inverse condemnation, would they not also be responsible for the damage and harm caused from selectively turning off the power?

While we all agree the impacts of the everincreasing destructive fires must be reversed and even eliminated, solving the problem through PSPS may not be the answer, especially as a long-term solution. The real solution to preventing a wildfire ignition from an electrical component is to have a resilient electrical grid designed to not fail. ∆ Robert Lewin is a retired director of the Santa Barbara County Office of Emergency Management.

Letters Dunes driving hurts Oceano The Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area does not provide a safe, healthy, and sustainable form of recreation, but it unleashes an unchecked lust for entertainment and diversion that is destroying Oceano, its beach, and dunes.

I have been a resident of Oceano for over 30 years. I have seen neighboring towns become cleaner and prettier; repair roads and sidewalks; and add services, amenities, and businesses while Oceano has remained the poor, dirty town it has always been.

Obviously, allowing driving on our beach and dunes doesn’t bring Oceano any money. It does to our neighboring towns who profit at Oceano’s expense.

This way of doing things is called environmental injustice. A vehiclesfree, safe, and clean beach will bring even more tourists to Oceano and our neighboring towns.

Lyle not so Lovett Actually, the July 7 concert at Avila Beach Golf Resort was good. He’s a great artist. It’s the concertgoers who disappoint. Here we are with a bunch of 40- to 60-year-olds, and all around my wife and me are chronic loud talkers.

Two gals right in front of us in their lawn chairs were yacking away through almost the whole concert. Why didn’t they just go out to dinner somewhere? I noticed others spent most of the time on their phones (that’s another issue).

Now, I’m not an old geezer critical of people having fun. It’s just a major pet peeve that we spent more than $100 on tickets only to hear Lyle perform faintly behind all the raised-volume discussions. I thought of moving but that would be like whack-amole. I thought about asking them to lower the volume, but who knows what reaction that would get. I could go to philharmonic concerts indoors from now on. Those are usually respectful and quiet(er).

Good sense versus gaslighting

Thank you for printing the two essays on immigration, which offer a vivid contrast.

San Luis Obispo Mayor Heidi Harmon (“Our ‘never again,’” July 18) stands against the ongoing attempt to destroy our pride in being a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants, by an administration that holds both in total contempt, along with every trace of human decency.

Mr. Gary Wechter’s essay (“Cost of resistance,” July 18), on the other hand, tries to deny the undeniable and defend the indefensible. He states, for example, that “the problems at the southern border existed before Trump was president,” as if Trump has not intentionally made them so much worse that immigrant children are now dying.

We’re living in a Western movie. The bad guys are not hard to spot.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY ANDREW CHRISTIE

They’d rather not discuss it

C

ommunity choice energy is about consumer choice, renewable energy, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and local energy generation instead of the utility model of coal, gas, and nucleargenerated electricity from afar. It means municipalities can fund building retrofits, transportation electrification, and energy efficiency programs. And all of that means local economic development.

Almost all the cities in SLO County have seen the light and signed up to provide a community choice program for their residents via Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP). Those programs will go online in 2020 and 2021.

But not in Atascadero or the unincorporated areas of SLO County.

As New Times reported, both the county supervisors and the city of Atascadero declined to agendize a vote to join MBCP on July 9 (“Atascadero, SLO County won’t join Monterey Bay Community Power,” July 11).

“I feel like I need more information,” Councilwoman Roberta Fonzi said.

This was also the ostensible reason why the council majority felt the need to delay agendizing discussion from the council’s June 25 meeting to July 9, allowing for more time to research the issue—beyond the reams of information MBCP had already provided, and more reams the council could have solicited from the six

cities in the county that have already studied the issue and elected to join, or from the 20 community choice agencies statewide that are serving more than 3 million customers.

It wasn’t the county’s first go-round with community choice evasion, either.

The same supervisors who just declined to discuss joining MBCP terminated any exploration of the feasibility of a local community choice program last year.

Atascadero Councilwoman Fonzi also cited “developments at Clean Power Alliance in Ventura County where some high electricity demand customers are seeing increasing rates, putting participating cities/counties on their heels.”

If the councilwoman needed “more information” on that, she could have asked Gina Goodhill, policy director for Clean Power Alliance (CPA).

“SCE [Southern California Edison] changed its rates three times between March and June,” Goodhill said.

“Unfortunately, this coincided exactly with CPA’s start-up period.”

Everybody’s spidey sense should tingle whenever public officials give explanations that don’t quite match up with their actions, so let’s stress this point: Atascadero and the county did not debate the pros and cons of community

choice, hear from the public, deliberate on the matter, and then vote against joining the regional program. They declined to even put it on an agenda, i.e., the means by which one would get more information.

They voted to ensure that a vote could not be taken.

Our Sierra Club chapter has been banging the gong for community choice for more than a decade. Community choice programs have been up and running for years. Less than a year after starting in 2010, Marin Clean Energy customers were reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 70,000 tons— the equivalent of removing nearly 12,000 cars from the road each year—and 27 percent of all their energy was coming from renewable resources. Sonoma Clean Power saved its residents and businesses $13.6 million in its first year of operation.

PG&E explained its decision to close Diablo Canyon this way: “There are several contributing factors, including … the potential increases in the departure of PG&E’s retail load customers to community choice aggregation.”

That was three years ago. Local elected officials who bemoan Diablo’s pending closure but still haven’t gotten the memo on community choice energy and are actively refusing to put it on an agenda have made their communities into outliers

as the rest of the state moves toward locally controlled renewable energy. That kind of demonstrated inability to read the handwriting on the wall raises a question: If you refuse to lead, should you be in a leadership position?

There are consequences when municipalities choose to sit on their hands when effective, proven measures to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to clean, renewable power are placed before them. (The Tribune recently spelled out one such local consequence: A looming era of extreme heat.) An elected body invoking a need for “more information” on community choice while making no move to obtain it is, in the words of the recently departed Ross Perot, just sad.

As New Times reported regarding Atascadero’s stall, “Councilmembers Susan Funk and Charles Bourbeau … wanted to see the issue agendized in August for a decision. ‘Not to do so, it says we’re not willing to do the homework that we were elected to do to make decisions for our city. That’s going to be tough to defend,’ Funk said.”

Yes, that is a tough one. But it’s a problem that can be fixed by a new City Council majority in Atascadero and a new board majority at the County Government Center. ∆ Andrew Christie is director of the Santa Lucia chapter of the Sierra Club.

The Shredder

Embrace the twerk I ’ve figured out the next monument for the city of San Luis Obispo. It’s not an old white man with racist tendencies, which is a novel idea, I know, but keep your pants on.

She’s a woman of color who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She put on a show at the California Mid-State Fair where she didn’t finish one single song! But she did shake that ass! Her 45-minute performance on July 20, although short, was longer than the 15-minute speech that President Theodore Roosevelt gave in San Luis Obispo in 1903.

And she’s a liberal political pundit, to boot. What’s not to like?

Yep, folks. I’m talking about Cardi Mutha-F’in B. “Pop up! Guess who, bitch!”

Her comments on the federal workers who went without a paycheck earlier this year because of a really lame government shutdown that I’m going to go ahead and blame on our super awesome president were sweet.

“This shit is really fuckin’ serious, bro,” she said in an Instagram rant that may also have been longer than dear ol’ Teddy’s speech. “Our country is really in a hellhole right now ... I feel like we need to take some action. I don’t know what kind of action, bitch, because that’s not what I do.”

Right? Cardi B is more of a motivator.

And who doesn’t need to be motivated?

Monument! Monument! Monument!

Oh wait. She used to drug her clients and rob them. So ... I guess she’s out.

But is that better or worse than saying that “the only good Indians are the dead Indians”?

Seriously, though, who would you rather look at: Teddy or Cardi? Alas, big-ass, perfectly chiseled butt cheeks ensconced in marble are not to be in our fair city.

Because the progressive (and I hate to use this term for real) liberal freedom-takers on the San Luis Obispo City Council have taken things a step too far.

The policy that Mayor Heidi Harmon and her fellow council members are hoping to craft would ban monuments to actual individuals. And it would, of course, include a “values statement,” because that’s what a good little progressive does.

“My strong feeling on this is that our policy reflect the true values and heart of this city,” Harmon said during a recent meeting about the issue.

I’m picturing a monument to the hardworking NIMBY somewhere in our future.

O. M. G. You’re making us normal liberals look bad. Stop it! And Carlyn Christianson agrees! Finally, someone sane. She criticized the proposed policy as reactionary and an overreach.

“I do not want to make a policy that basically eliminates entire genres of art. I don’t believe in doing that,”

Christianson said.

“I also think it’s incredibly dangerous to formulate policy with a specific project in mind.”

Yes, a monument to Dear ol’ Teddy has proven to be a wee bit too controversial for the delicate sensitivities of some on the City Council. They seem to believe that ideas and ideals will be way less controversial and flawed than people when it comes to monuments on city property.

What? That doesn’t even make sense.

Heidi won’t even have a conversation with fellow egocentric resident Jon “I’m a Former City Council Member, Dammit” Ashbaugh—who’s got an affinity for Teddy that I really don’t understand—about that stupid monument. How the hell is she going to have a difficult conversation about ideals with someone who disagrees with her?

News flash: She won’t.

And besides that, I distinctly remember Heidi waxing poetic about how the people of SLO make this community what it is when she was in the throes of her re-election campaign against Keith T. Gurnee.

Ideas are not people, people. Plus, they’re not tangible. In order for ideas to become something more than just a concept, they need an actual human to

take the lead. To make mistakes. To be an idiot. To move the needle of progress forward.

It’s messy and imperfect. And we should never forget that.

To forget that all of that mess is how we got to where we are today is to prevent us from learning from our past and seeing how far we’ve come—together, as a society that’s full of individuals who err, because they’re human. We can’t hide from it.

Conversations about controversial figures cause us to take a long hard look at ourselves, examine our history, and decide what we want to be. Who we honor, as a community, is how we want the world to see us. Do we want the world to see SLO as an idea? Or something more tangible?

And while Harmon seems to believe that a monument to a controversial figure will end in violence on these here city streets (holy hyperbole, batman), Ashbaugh seems to believe that if the Teddy hadn’t spent 15 minutes in the city talking about conservation, Harmon wouldn’t have been elected (Rude!).

“It’s quite possible she would have never been elected herself,” Ashbaugh said.

“Roosevelt is part of a long continuum of community leaders and activists who brought us to the place we are today.”

Well, Cardi B is part of a long continuum of rappers and artists who brought us to the place we are today.

Come on. “Pop up! Guess who, bitch!” ∆ The Shredder just learned how to twerk on July 20. Send comments to shredder@ newtimesslo.com.

This year’s fair ends with a band (and a bang)

I

f you haven’t been up to Paso Robles yet for this year’s California Mid-State Fair, time’s running out! It closes this Sunday, July 28. There’s still plenty of music, both free with your fair admission and ticketed, so let’s get started.

On Thursday, July 25, husband-andwife 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.

Adams has another new album, and it’s filled with great songs. Country act Old Dominion plays the Chumash Grandstand Arena (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $36 to $81 at midstatefair.com). Lead singer Matthew Ramsey has an amazing voice! Joe Diffie opens.

On Friday, July 26, see Elton John tribute band Elton the Early Years at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. on the Fort Frontier Stage. Expect a big Vegas-style production of Elton’s hits. Local Americana singersongwriter Natalie Haskins plays at 7 p.m. in Mission Square, joined by her band. The silky-voiced Smokey Robinson plays the Chumash Grandstand Arena (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $26 to $91 at midstatefair.com). A co-founder of Motown Records, Robinson and his group, the Miracles, met Berry Gordy who helped them release “Got a Job.” Robinson and Gordy went on to release megahits like “Shop Around,” “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me,” “I Second That Emotion,” “The Tears Of A Clown,” “Ooo Baby Baby,” and “The Tracks Of My Tears.”

On Saturday, July 27, country act The Wild Feathers brings its thick vocal

harmonies and jangling guitars to the Fort Frontier Stage at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m.

They’re touring in support of Greetings from the Neon Frontier. Latin jazz and salsa band Yellow House Orchestra plays Mission Square at 7 p.m. The rodeo’s happening in the Chumash Grandstand Arena, also at 7 p.m.

On Sunday, July 28, check out Latin music star Luis Coronel on the Fort Frontier Stage at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. His smooth voice and good looks are a bonus to his passionate love songs. The Shawn Clark Family Band plays Mission Square at 7 p.m. If you like old-style country songs with heart, he’s your man.

It’s monster trucks, bikes, and bulls in the Chumash Grandstand Arena that night.

Go ahead! You know you want to!

Was Really Won, is anything to go com for tickets and more off of. information.

In a series of short stories that poke fun at theatrical and storytelling tropes, How the West Was Really Won fleshes out the world of Dead Water, Arizona, a chaotic place with water that will kill you, where even the horses drink whiskey.

Enter our brave sheriff (Mike Fiore), who is constantly going head to head with evil outlaw Snake (Ben Abbott) and his lady love, Mustang Sally (Katie Pautler). Snake is so dastardly that he kills Card Player No. 1 (Rachel Tietz) for refusing to give him 3s she didn’t have in a rousing game of Go Fish. As the sheriff cautions earlier in the show, “Bad things can happen to minor characters without real names.”

Upon thumbing its nose at one storytelling trope, the show promptly winks at another as Snake brings an audience member onstage to replace Card Player No. 1, all while saying, “This is called the fourth wall that you’re breaking.” You can guess how well that second THE BAD GUYS Railroad tycoon Johnson (Rachel Tietz, right) and cattle round of cards goes.

Pautler) scheme up devious ways to get their hands on coveted land.

And a Judge Judy-themed trial only further tips its hat as it acknowledges the comical necessity of multiple actors playing multiple parts when Tietz (formerly Card Player No. 1) must execute justice at the trial over her own character’s murder.

With that first storyline’s resolution, all is quiet in Dead Water, but only for a mere moment as Johnson (Tietz) and Johnson (Pautler)—the railroad tycoon and cattle baron, respectively, before they got in the business of baby powder and such—scheme up ways to get widows and small children off the ample land so they can build a railroad and graze cattle.

However, their inept henchmen (Abbott and Henry Fisher) fail them time and time again, in progressively sillier ways, resulting in Abbott’s playing the femme fatale in a dress as he attempts to seduce and poison the sheriff. Oh my!

But fear not, dear audience member, there are plenty of bad guys to boo and hiss at in How the West Was Really Won, and there’s also a love story or two (gasp!). Plus, I’m not naming names, but we even see one beloved minor character narrowly escape death and get a real, proper name!

How the West Was Really Won is simply too joyfully silly to be actually scary, but if all that talk of ne’er-do-well villains puts you on edge, there’s always the Family Fun Vaudeville Review after the second intermission to cheer you up, pardner.

The tiny pitcher for the coffee creamer.

That old necklace.

Seemingly, all these things have nothing in common.

But to Kathie Sinor, these are all potential art supplies.

Sinor, who works in assemblage, is currently showing some of her art as part of the Color Me Red show, which features the works of artists from the Paso Robles Art Association, at Studios on the Park.

“My work is more unusual because there aren’t a lot of people doing assemblage,” Sinor said. “You reuse commonplace items, and you can do all kinds of [art] with them.”

Sinor may take a mold, a sugar bowl, or raggedly clothes to create figurines, like the ladies featured in Color Me Red. This one has a little silver crown; that one has a cheery red rose on her bonnet.

“I like the shape of them, so I collect them and I play with them,” Sinor said of her found art supplies. “It’s mostly finding

the objects and putting them to play with when you sit down to work.”

While you’ll only see touches of red in Sinor’s work, she does take the show’s theme to heart.

“It could be red with anger,” she said.

“It could be the color red. I’m a red hat lady, so I put a little red rose on her hat.”

Sinor is referring to the Red Hat Ladies Society, a national organization dedicated to female friendship.

Describing her work as eclectic, Sinor has always had an affinity for making three-dimensional art. In the past, she created pottery, sculptures, and shadow boxes themed around Dia de los Muertos.

Sinor said she draws inspiration for her work from nature and by putting interesting shapes together. She said that she hopes viewers of her work take away a feeling of whimsy, “the feeling that everyday things can be art if you look at them with an artistic eye.” ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is seeing red.

on Favreau (Elf, Iron Man, Cowboys & Aliens, Chef, The Jungle Book (2016)) helms this photorealisticanimated remake of Disney’s 1994 animated classic of the same name about lion prince Simba (voiced by JD McCrary as a cub and Donald Glover as an adult), who’s driven from his kingdom as a cub after his king father, Mufasa (voiced by James Earl Jones), is murdered by his jealous brother, Scar (voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor). Can young Simba learn the true meaning of responsibility, bravery, and leadership? Can he reclaim his rightful place as king? (118 min.)

asks everyone’s favorite fratricidal feline.

Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave, Children of Men) was an inspired choice for Scar, whose original characterization is one of the greatest antagonists in Disney’s pantheon. The weight and brutality he brings to the role make it all the more disappointing that the villain’s murderous anthem, “Be Prepared,” gets butchered down to a mere 20 seconds of talk-singing (one of the few instances the film departs from the original).

I mean the got lost in translation, but somehow this remake of Beauty and the Beast has Emma highly anticipated remake of The Lion Watson’s horrible, autotune-sounding King—almost a shot-for-shot remake I singing; Dumbo had the horrible acting might add—just didn’t do it for me. It’s and the unnecessary added storylines; both a faithful adaptation of the original and I could nitpick Cinderella or Alice in and a visually astounding spectacle in Wonderland to the bone.

The film opens strong with With that being said, I really enjoyed baby Simba’s majestic unveiling to the this remake of The Lion King. I like that animal kingdom, set to “Circle of Life” of director Favreau did a great job of not course, followed by an intricately designed trying to reinvent the wheel with the plot, sequence of a mouse scurrying through songs, or characters. The actors perfectly its surroundings, before being plucked by fit their roles except for Beyoncé KnowlesScar. “Life’s not fair is it, my little friend?”

Carter, who lent her voice to adult Nala, and Glover, who voiced adult Simba. I felt like they were both holding back a lot of emotion in their scenes, which is pretty vital to this emotionally heavy film. So the heavy stuff (just a warning: some spoilers ahead if you haven’t seen the original), Simba is born to be the next ruler of the wildlife kingdom with the purpose of keeping the peace within the FOOL ME ONCE Disney film veterans once again circle of life. His greedy uncle, revisit the evil and menacing Scar (voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor) as he plots the demise of rightful ruler Mufasa Scar, wants the kingdom for (James Earl Jones) and his son, Simba (voiced as a himself and plots to eliminate cub by JD McCrary).

Simba by any means necessary. Let me tell you, watching Mufasa get betrayed by Scar and trampled to death in a cartoon was tough, but watching the live-action version was brutal! Scar convinces Simba that his father’s death weighed on his shoulders and advised him to scram and save himself from scrutiny. With the bloodline out of the way, Scar takes over the kingdom with the help of his band of hyenas. Simba then travels to the desert only to bump into the lovable Timon (Billy Eichner) and Pumbaa (Seth Rogen). I couldn’t stop laughing whenever the duo was on the screen, and I think they’re my favorite part of the film.

Caleb I’ll give you that. It’s true that Disney’s track record with remakes hasn’t been stellar so far. But I actually enjoyed Beauty and the Beast (how dare you dis Watson, Karen), Aladdin, and Favreau’s very own Jungle Book far more than this go-round. The Lion King is leaps and bounds ahead of the studio’s other attempts though. And you’re right about Favreau’s direction, too. He doesn’t reinvent the wheel—in fact, he’s not even on par with the wheel. Burn! I love that director to death (Elf and Iron Man, nuff said), but I didn’t feel his creative presence nearly enough here (not a single narwhal in sight). Don’t get me wrong though, it’s far from terrible. Like a loving sitcom parent, I’m not angry with The Lion King, I’m just disappointed. Remember the moment right before Mufasa has a stern talk with young Simba (after he and Nala are rescued from the hyenas)? Simba

THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? The Palm Writer and director Riley Stearns (Faults) helms this story about mild-mannered Casey (Jesse Eisenberg), who after being attacked decides he needs to learn to protect himself. He enrolls in a local dojo run by a charismatic man who only goes by “Sensei” (Alessandro Nivola), who with hardcore brown belt, Anna (Imogen Poots), helps Casey gain confidence.

masculinity.

This is uncomfortable, inky-black satire/ comedy that will no doubt appeal to some but turn off others. It’s purposely absurdist fare whose goal is to examine what it means to be a man in America and whether or not that’s a goal worth striving for.

Casey is indeed a milquetoast wallflower. He’s a naturally timid person whose best friend is his timid and quaking dachshund and whose interests include all things French. He doesn’t know how to assert himself, and most of the interactions we see are cringe-worthy.

After the attack, he looks into buying a gun, but while awaiting the background check, he stumbles upon a neighborhood dojo and is soon enrolled in classes, learning to “punch with his foot and kick with his fist.” Unlike most karate schools that teach martial arts as a last-resort

defense, this dojo is weirdly aggressive, even in the children’s classes run by Anna.

When Casey is awarded his yellow belt, he swells with pride, but when he decides to stand up to a bully and later backs down in fear, he wants to take his training to the next level—the mysterious night classes.

It’s more like Fight Club than anything else, but Casey gets an unexpected rise out of the violence, and soon he’s drawn further into Sensei’s dark, misogynist world.

There’s some surprising and unexpected violence, some twists and revelations about Sensei, and soon the trance the Svengali-like Sensei has over Casey and Anna will have to be broken before it destroys them.

walks over to Mufasa but pauses when one of his front paws sinks into his father’s footprint. In that instance, the lion prince realizes he’s got some pretty big shoes to fill someday. For me, the original Lion King is that footprint. But unlike Simba, who grows big enough to fill that print halfway through the film, this remake is confined to cubhood.

Karen Wow, that’s a lot to unpack there.

I mean, hakuna matata, Caleb. What a wonderful phrase, right? I get it, though.

The 1994 Lion King was the highest grossing traditionally animated film of its time, so doing this remake was a gamble. But while the live-action version will never be the same as its animated predecessor, I’m OK with that. The Lion King doesn’t need to be changed in any way, as the story holds its own 25 years later. I’ll go back to my only issue, which is the lack of emotion from some characters that might not have come off on screen because of their lame acting (it was like they were barely talking to each other instead of connecting. I’m pretty disappointed with the Queen Bee and her pretentious voice-over, just saying). Maybe the cartoonish design of the original really pushed the dialogue to be better. But, hey, I’ll just hold on to my problem-free philosophy for the rest of my days on this review. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia and Calendar Editor Caleb Wiseblood wrote Split Screen this week.

Wait ’til Netflix has it NOTHING ........ Don’t waste your time to challenge Sensei. Likewise, Nivola is excellent as the enigmatic Sensei, a man who seems strong and wise but is really a bully who preys on the weak.

Like I mentioned, this film won’t appeal to everyone, but I loved its quirkiness! Its dark, absurdist humor is right up my alley, and its morally challenging resolution breaks with expectations. (104 min.)

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 about 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. These side plots offer some emotional resonance and help develop the chance for reconciliation between her and her dad while also offering moments of reprieve from the tooth-and-claw terrors menacing them.

Like his first feature, Hereditary, Midsommar is a dread-filled exercise in the slow burn, with the occasional surprise of graphic gore.

Aster’s execution of drug effects on the users is both spellbinding and nauseating. I felt vaguely seasick during those scenes, which continued to grow toward the film’s end. In fact, the overall effect of viewing Midsommar took me a good hour to shake.

SHUTTER ISLAND

When? 2010 What’s it rated? R Where? Amazon Prime, iTunes, DVD

O

K, OK, I know what you’re thinking: “How is Shutter Island, a movie directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio—two of the most well-known people in the biz—underrated? Do you even watch movies?” Well, no, not really. But it’s not because I’m too busy reading or being productive. I play video games instead.

Regardless, I can justify this selection: but first, context.

Almost the entire film takes place at fictional Shutter Island, which is located off the coast of nonfictional Massachusetts. The island is home to Ashecliffe, a psychiatric hospital full of patients who’ve committed violent crimes. DiCaprio plays the role of Teddy Daniels, a U.S. marshal who is sent to Shutter Island with fellow marshal Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), who are working together for the first time, to investigate how a missing patient escaped from her locked room.

When the marshals arrive at the island, they are greeted by armed security guards who demand Teddy and Chuck turn over their firearms before proceeding forward.

After doing so, the marshals begin looking for the missing patient— who was sent to Ashecliffe after drowning her three children—but find the doctors, guards, and staff at the hospital to be less than helpful. From there, the movie sets off on a course full of twists and turns, some of which may be predictable but are enjoyable nonetheless.

The film is drenched in a dark and unnerving atmosphere that supplements its plot well. Modern classical music plays throughout TWISTS AND TURNS In Shutter and ramps up at just the right Island, Leonardo DiCaprio plays the moments, while dreary shots of role of a U.S. marshal searching the ocean lapping up against the for a patient who’s escaped from a island’s rugged coastline create an uneasy sense of loneliness and physiatrist hospital. isolation. But the clincher is the clever use of dreams and flashbacks came out in 2010. The latter received critical that show the darkness within Teddy. In a number of these events, he’s shown liberating acclaim and rave reviews, while the former didn’t, which I never understood. a concentration camp as a U.S. solider during In addition to the lukewarm response to the World War II, while the camera pans over film, I learned through my extensive research piles of frozen corpses.

Probably not that means, and received solid but not great for most people, but it’s the best of the three reviews from critics far more knowledgeable that I’ve seen. Sure, that isn’t a huge sample about films than I am. As illogical as it may sound, I’ve always felt like Shutter Island gets size, but as we’ve already established, I don’t watch a lot of movies.

ROCKETMAN What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Stadium 10 Dexter Fletcher (Wild Bill, Sunshine on Leith, Eddie the Eagle) directs “a musical fantasy about the fantastical human story of Elton John’s breakthrough years,” with Taron Egerton in the lead role as the singer of “Rocket Man,” “Your Song,” “Daniel,” and dozens of other hits.

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. One of his biggest fears is whether or not he’ll be as good without the drugs and alcohol, which allowed him to overcome his fears and become a superstar. (121 min.)

THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2 What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Stream it Where’s it showing? Park Chris Renaud (Despicable Me, The Lorax, The Secret Life of Pets) and Jonathan de Val band together to co-direct the second installment of the animated Secret Life of Pets. This time around, the New York apartment furry residents leave their owners once again on an adventure to save a new wild friend.

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. An elementary-school-aged kid is probably not going to notice the three stories that honestly should have been separate animated shorts that somehow clumsily come together, but all you adults out there definitely will. Save your pretty pennies, parents, and just wait to Redbox it or stream it on your preferred service. (86 min.)

WILD ROSE What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre Tom Harper (War Book, The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death) directs Nicole Taylor’s screenplay about Rose-Lynn Harlan (Jessie Buckley), an ex-con and single mother who dreams of becoming a country singer in Nashville, though her mother Marion (Julie Walters) thinks her dream is a waste of time.

When Rose takes work as a house cleaner, she finds an ally in the woman of the house. This is definitely a banner year for music-centric films, and this low-budget U.K. charmer brings a hefty emotional wallop along for the ride.

Tattooed on her arm is the phrase “three chords and the truth,” her definition of country music. Rose-Lynn has a voice, and she certainly has enough heartache to write 100 country ballads, but the film is also about her finding a way to express her truth and those deep emotions, and 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. (101 min.)

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.

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 cash-grab 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. (100 min.)

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.

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. 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.)

STUBER What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Rent it Where’s it showing? Galaxy, Stadium 10 Michael Dowse (Take Me Home Tonight, Goon) directs this action-comedy/mismatchedbuddy film about Vic (Dave Bautista), a detective, who enlists his Uber driver, Stu (Kumail Nanjiani) to track down a terrorist. Can Stu survive and maintain his excellent Uber driver rating?

This film will get a few laughs out of you, but also some groans, eye rolls, and a severely strained credulity. Its title—Stuber—is a combination of the driver, 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.

Soon he’s considered the greatest singersongwriter in the world, but will his newfound fame be a blessing or a curse?

Yes, Yesterday is basically sitcom-level silliness and essentially a one-joke movie, but it’s a good joke, and the film may be just the diversion we need right now. Don’t believe all the negative reviews from cynical critics. Instead, believe Rotten Tomatoes’ 90 percent audience score. This is a crowd pleaser! (116 min.) ∆ —Glen

Fig Cafe’s delicious culinary experience includes training and employing adults with disabilities

O

ut on the shady wrap-around-porch of the grand Victorian house across from Templeton Park, an aunt and her niece catch up over brunch, coffee, and mimosas. Inside, guests eat in funky little nooks with mismatched shabby-chic chairs. Meanwhile, both the front and back of the house prepare for the day shift in a way that you could never imagine.

There’s no place exactly like Fig Cafe at Courtney’s House.

Christina Dillow founded the popular brunch destination with Carrie Sanders, a mother whose nonprofit Courtney’s House was providing vocational, social, and life skills support for her autistic daughter, Courtney, and many other young adults with special needs. Fig Cafe at Courtney’s House was the result of Sanders’ trying to manifest a restaurant to provide work for her clients and Dillow’s readiness to add deeper meaning to her restaurant ventures.

Dillow has a long history in restaurants, from owning the Harmony Pasta factory with her husband in the ’80s and ’90s, to managing Big Sky Café in SLO. But when Sanders approached her with the idea of teaming up, she didn’t hesitate.

“I felt strongly about finding the different perspective of running restaurants,” Dillow said. “Instead of having just one of the three restaurants that I’ve owned—as I get into my 50s—I said, ‘Something new needs to come from all of this.’”

Dillow said she receives a phone call every now and then from people looking to mimic her unique restaurant model, but there are only two others in the nation that she knows of with anything similar: one in Palo Alto and another in Ohio.

Ultimately, Fig is leading the way to be a place where adults with special needs can work, build self-confidence, and feel purpose in society.

Taryn Bauer, Fig Cafe’s spunky, tattooed chef who opened Marston’s 101, has her cooks prepping for the day.

Chopping, slicing, and dicing, you would imagine, right? There’s much more to it than that. Bauer is making sure that Maggie, age 24 and one of Bauer’s most accomplished interns, remembers to reference a book that was created just for her. In the book, Bauer put detailed photos of the food Maggie must prep and stock in a station that has been tailored to her needs for her three-hour-shift. A separate sheet of paper details Maggie’s daily goals.

The book of tasks is a tool that educators use as an effective way to keep those with special needs on task. But just as important as the task list, Bauer said, is providing constant positive feedback and encouragement.

Creating opportunity

Fig Cafe at Courtney’s House is a nonprofit, full-service cafe and workplace for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Book an event at figgoodfood.org, or go in for brunch Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fig is located at 311 6th St. in Templeton.

WAFFLES AND EGGS PLEASE Chef Taryn Bauer runs two plates she just cooked up: harissa hash and eggs and a lemon poppyseed waffle.

PHOTO COURTESY OF CHRISTINA DILLOW

HEART OF GOLD Chef Taryn Bauer said the positive feedback she gives and receives at Fig Cafe at Courtney’s House has helped her become a better parent to her twins. Bauer said she would like Fig to eventually have a commercial-sized kitchen.

“It’s way more gratifying here than anywhere else,” Bauer said of the job she began in February of this year. “Here, it’s humbling. You are using patience. I’m still trying to be firm because you’re not going to learn anything if you’re not firm.”

Bauer’s goal is to get Maggie cooking, and most of her strategy includes setting goals, accountability, and building a good work ethic. Even if some of the interns may not be as far along as Maggie, work wise, at least they have a place to go “instead of watching TV or playing video games,” Bauer said.

Erin Lawrence, Fig’s program manager, calls the intern’s lists of things to do “task analysis.” She started at Fig as a volunteer, but when the founders saw how passionate she was about the interns, Lawrence was hired immediately. She says she picked up some tricks working as a paraeducator in Templeton schools.

If an intern walks in the door using a loud voice, Lawrence will gently let them know that they need to go back and try that again with a quieter voice. Lawrence’s team lets me know she is the mother hen of the roost, known as the training guru and

OFFICE MANAGER EXTRAORDINAIRE Office Manager Terri Knowlton (right) makes fig chutney with intern Maggie.

Knowlton is in charge of Fig’s community outreach, networking, program and event coordinating, and more. She’s known at Fig as the person who connects the dots to make it all happen.

a behavioral challenge master.

Fig works as a 501(c)3 nonprofit. With about 11 to 19 interns depending on the season, Fig also has experienced staff members without disabilities.

Internships begin as voluntary, unpaid positions as part of the learning process, but Fig partners with the Tri-County Regional Center, which expedites state funding for its participants after an initial training period. Dillow said the job demand for adults with disabilities ebbs and flows, but right now, Fig does have a waiting list.

Interns work three-hour shifts and are supported by a job coach or multiple staff members throughout their shift.

The most popular item on the menu is,

hands down, the harissa hash and eggs: two over medium-cooked eggs served over smoky dried chile- and garlic-glazed potatoes and local linguica sausage with a side of garlic toast.

“I don’t cut corners,” Bauer said. “To get the general public in here you have to have good food, and we have great food.”

The menu also features omelettes, farmer’s frittatas, and applewood smoked bacon and eggs. Or, if for those who are feeling fancy, Fig Cafe offers a lemon poppyseed waffle, curried tofu scramble, or the Frenchie sandwich made with sweet and savory homemade fig chutney, fig balsamic, melted brie, greens, and roasted garlic on house-made focaccia.

Fig also serves up salads such as the signature spring mix Figgie with sweet and savory homemade fig chutney, poached pear, candied pecans, goat cheese, and a house balsamic dressing. In addition, there are pizzas and flatbreads, bakery items (including gluten-free goodies), and homemade, local organic Etto pastas.

Fig’s food is sourced from farmers’ markets and area farms and natural stores—organic and local as much as possible, Bauer said. Specifically, they source produce from Nature’s Touch in Templeton and grass-fed beef from Templeton Valley Farms.

The feeling inside Fig is very much artsy, hometown, and boutiquey. In and out of every room is an intern or two working at whatever task fits their individual strengths. No one does just one job. You might just see Dillow cooking your meal if Bauer isn’t there. Dillow said at Fig they measure their interns’ successes hourly. Baby steps. Everyone has their own processing time.

“When their skills grow, we back off with the job coaching,” Dillow said. “We’ve seen tremendous changes in some of the interns. Especially with behavioral skills.”

One of the interns used to cry in the car before coming in due to builtup anxiety. So Fig started her with enrichment. She progressed into the set-up and break-down of the restaurant, then graduated to running drinks.

“Now she comes in the door beaming and ready to work,” Dillow said. ∆

D INE ’N’ DISH Summer solved

It was 100-and-a-million degrees and I was headed down Morro Road in A-town with a sweet tooth and a Top Gun-level “need for speed” (aka coffee). That’s when Tina Wisberg, the cheery, take-charge owner of drive-through local favorite coffee house Brew-it, read my mind and told me I needed to try the most popular drink on her menu: the Blended Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Mocha. Say what? That is exactly what I wanted. I felt like slapping her a high five, Goose and Maverick style, but my body was wilting. I could barely think straight. But this refreshing drink, which comes in a large cup, was made in something like 20 seconds. Pretty with the subtle essence of lavender and white chocolate, the sweet blackberry syrup fruits it up a notch. It’s so revivifying, it will take care of your desire for coffee, chocolate, and cream; your love for a bowl of summer berries; and your poor overheated body’s request for a refreshing floral spritzer. All. In. One. Brew-it CoffeeTea, a place to find espresso drinks, teas and chais, smoothies and bobas, is located at 6570 Morro Road, Atascadero.

The Blended Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Mocha is $5.25 ($6 with almond milk instead of regular milk). ∆ Flavor writer Beth Giuffre is ready and refreshed. Send your favorite drinks, dines, and dribbles to bgiuffre@newtimesslo.com.

ORDINANCE NO. 3394 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO EXTENDING URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 3393, WHICH ESTABLISHES A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE CULTIVATION OF INDUSTRIAL HEMP WITHIN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY The Board of Supervisors of the County of San Luis Obispo ordains as follows: Section 1.

Purpose of Authority.

The purpose of this ordinance is to extend Urgency Ordinance No. 3393 which establishes a temporary moratorium on the cultivation of industrial hemp for commercial purposes or by “Established Agricultural Research Institutions,” as defined by California Food and Agricultural Code § 81000(c) while County staff determines the impact of such unregulated cultivation and develops reasonable regulations to mitigate such impacts. This ordinance extending Urgency Ordinance No. 3393 is adopted pursuant to California Constitution Article XI, Section 7, Government Code §§ 65800 et seq., particularly 65858, and other applicable law.

Section 2.

Findings and Declarations.

The Board of Supervisors makes the following findings in support of the enactment of this interim urgency moratorium extension ordinance:

A.

B.

C.

D.

E.

F.

On June 18, 2019, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors (“Board of Supervisors”) adopted a 45-day interim zoning/ urgency ordinance, Ordinance No. 3393 (“Ordinance”), pursuant to Government Code Sections 25123, 25131 and 65858. The Ordinance temporarily prohibits the cultivation of industrial hemp in the unincorporated portions of San Luis Obispo County, except for certain exemptions.

Pursuant to Government Code section 65858, after notice and public hearing, the Board of Supervisors may by four-fifths vote extend the Ordinance for 10 months and 15 days, if the Board finds and determines that the adoption of the Ordinance as an urgency ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and welfare pursuant to Government Code sections 25123 and 65858, and is necessary to provide additional time to prepare the studies and reports required to consider a comprehensive and permanent ordinance. After an initial extension, the Ordinance may be extended for another year following notice and another public hearing.

In enacting the Ordinance, the Board of Supervisors made several findings and declarations constituting the grounds upon which the Ordinance is based, including: (a) the original exclusion of industrial hemp from the County’s cannabis land use regulations was made without full appreciation of the potential interest in industrial hemp nor full understanding of the potential impacts that such a use may have on the public health, safety and welfare and was not a conscious acknowledgement that the use was appropriate within the County without regulation whatsoever; (b) various inconsistencies and potential conflicts exist between federal and state law; (c) industrial hemp and cannabis plants are virtually indistinguishable absent a laboratory test for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels which are difficult to reliably test until the plant is close to maturity; (d) there has been an enormous amount of interest in cultivating industrial hemp for production of cannabidiol (CBD) within unincorporated County; (e) the County has received substantial amounts of public testimony regarding the potential harmful effects of cannabis, including odor nuisance and public safety, and it remains unclear if industrial hemp grown for CBD will have similar odors thus implicating these same potential impacts and risks to public health, safety and welfare; (f) the County has previously experienced an almost immediate insurgence of cannabis related activity which resulted in a large increase in public services, including public safety and law enforcement, and because cultivation of industrial hemp appears virtually identical to cannabis, additional regulations are needed in order to deter or prevent individuals from associating industrial hemp with cannabis and provide law enforcement greater ability to distinguish between lawful industrial hemp cultivation and illegal cannabis cultivation; (g) industrial hemp can serve as hosts to mites and other insects and there are few pesticides registered for hemp that address such mites or other insects; (h) absent regulation, the cultivation of industrial hemp and cannabis may pose incompatibility issues due to crosspollination; and (i) the cultivation of industrial hemp prior to adoption of reasonable state and local regulations creates an urgent and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens and existing agriculture in the County.

At the hearing regarding adoption of the Ordinance, the County Agricultural Commissioner testified that, as of June 18, 2019, forty-one applications for industrial hemp registration had been received and sixteen of those applications had been issued registrations for a total of 415 acres of industrial hemp cultivation. Previously, as of June 6, 2019, thirty-one applications for industrial hemp registration had been received and twelve applications had been issued registrations for a total of 82.3 acres of industrial hemp cultivation. Between June 6, 2019, and June 18, 2019, there had been a five-fold increase in the amount of registered industrial hemp acreage within unincorporated County.

At the hearing regarding adoption of the Ordinance, the Board of Supervisors received significant written and public testimony, including from: (a) numerous individuals expressing immediate interest in cultivating industrial hemp in unincorporated County; (b) individuals in the industry who indicated that industrial hemp grown for CBD may emit odors similar to cannabis depending on the strain grown; and, (c) residents, neighbors and business owners concerned about the lack of regulation on industrial hemp which may have many of the same concerns as cannabis, including odor and public safety, and the impact unregulated industrial hemp may have on residents, tourists, businesses and existing agriculture operations within unincorporated County.

In enacting the ordinance, the Board found that current laws and regulations were incapable of preventing these deleterious effects to the public health, safety and welfare and that an urgency ordinance was needed while a permanent ordinance was studied and prepared. As a result, the Board of Supervisors, as the legislative body of the County of San Luis Obispo, determined that there is a need to consider and study potential changes in the County’s General Plan and/or land use ordinances to assure appropriate oversight of industrial hemp cultivation in the County.

G.

The state and federal law governing the definition, regulation and cultivation of industrial hemp remain complex, evolving, and as yet incomplete and uncertain, causing multiple issues which may adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare of residents or of visitors to San Luis Obispo County.

H.

On July 16, 2019, prior to the expiration of the Ordinance and in accordance with the requirements of Government Code section 65858, the Board of Supervisors held a duly noticed public hearing on whether to extend the Ordinance for up to 10 months and 15 days. The Board of Supervisors heard and considered all evidence, both written and oral, that was duly presented during said hearing.

I.

The Board of Supervisors’ findings and declarations as contained in the Ordinance remain and continue to be true under the present circumstances and are incorporated herein in their entirety by this reference.

J.

As stated in those findings and declarations contained in the Ordinance, the County is contemplating amendments to its zoning ordinance to establish reasonable standards for the cultivation of industrial hemp in unincorporated County. The County continues to need more time to complete the necessary studies and reports to fully evaluate and support such contemplated amendments, while the current and immediate threat to health, safety, and welfare continues to exist.

K.

The allowance of cultivation of industrial hemp prior to the adoption of reasonable regulations creates an urgent and immediate threat to the public health, safety or welfare of the citizens and existing agriculture in San Luis Obispo County.

L.

San Luis Obispo County has a compelling interest in protecting the public health, safety, and welfare of its residents and businesses, in preventing the establishment of nuisances.

M.

The extension of the Ordinance is necessary for continued study of a permanent industrial hemp ordinance. In light of said findings and declarations contained herein and in the Ordinance, a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare continues to exist, necessitating the extension of the Ordinance until and through June 18, 2020, pursuant to Government Code section 65858

Section 3.

Applicability.

This ordinance applies within all unincorporated areas of San Luis Obispo County. This urgency does not require certification from the California Coastal Commission. The Coastal Act does not deprive local governments from exercising their statutory power to enforce urgency ordinances, nor require prior review and approval of such ordinances by the Coastal Commission, provided that the ordinances are not in conflict with the Coastal Act. Certification by the Coastal Commission is required only for amendment that authorize a use other than that designated as a permitted use in the Local Coastal Plan. Conway v. City of Imperial Beach (1997) 52 Cal. App.4th 78.

Section 4.

Extension Based on all of the foregoing findings and declarations, Ordinance No. 3393 shall be extended until and through June 18, 2020.

Section 5.

Environmental Determination.

This ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §21000, et seq.) (“CEQA”) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it will have a significant effect on the environment (CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3)), the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (CEQA Guidelines §15060(c)(2)) and because it consists of regulations and restrictions on activities to assure the maintenance, restoration, or enhancement of natural resources and the environment (Class 7 and Class 8, CEQA Guidelines §§15307, 15308). This Ordinance is also exempt from CEQA because it is an urgency measure necessary to protect San Luis Obispo County from a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare. (Public Resources Code §21080(b)(4); CEQA Guidelines §15269.) There are no unusual circumstances. Each exemption stands as a separate and independent basis for determining that this ordinance is not subject to CEQA.

Section 6.

Effective Date.

This ordinance extending urgency Ordinance No. 3393 is necessary for the protection of public health, safety and welfare, and shall take effect on July 16, 2019.

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Luis Obispo, State of California, on the 16th day of July 2019, by the following roll call vote, to wit: AYES:

WHAT Hearing to consider a request by Newlin Hastings for a Tentative Parcel Map (SUB2016-00095) to allow for a Commercial Subdivision of a 2.18acre parcel into 3 commercial parcels of 0.52 acres, 1.04 acres, and 0.62 acres each for the purpose of sale and/or development. A Minor Use Permit in 2009, authorized the construction of the development of an approximate 19,900-square-foot commercial retail center to include three buildings. Currently, Building “C”, Creekside Veterinary Building has been built. Grading for the entire site, grading pads for the future commercial buildings and off-site improvements have been completed.

One building will be located on each proposed new parcel. The proposed project is within the Commercial Retail land use category and is located at 1075 Rossi Road, at the southeast corner of the intersection of Rossi Road and Vineyard Drive in the community of Templeton. The site is in the Salinas River Sub Area of the North County Planning Area.

Also to be considered is the environmental determination. The Environmental Coordinator finds that the previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration is adequate for the purposes of compliance with CEQA because no substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revision of the previous Negative Declaration, no substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstance under which the project is undertaken which will require major revision of the previous Negative Declaration, and no new information of substantial importance has been identified which was not known at the time that the previous Negative Declaration was adopted.

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): After analyzing unusual animal behavior, magnetic fluctuations, outbreaks of mayhem on Twitter, and the position of the moon, a psychic has foretold that a moderate earthquake will rumble through the St. Louis, Missouri, area in the coming weeks. I don’t agree with her prophecy. But I have a prediction of my own. Using data about how cosmic forces are conspiring to amuse and titillate your rapture chakra, I predict a major lovequake for many Aries between now and Aug. 20. I suggest you start preparing immediately. How? Brainstorm about adventures and breakthroughs that will boost exciting togetherness. Get yourself in the frame of mind to seek out collaborative catharses that evoke both sensory delights and spiritual insights.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I predict that between now and the end of the year, a Libran genetic engineer will create a new species of animal called a dat. A cross between a cat and a dog, it will have the grace, independence, and vigilance of a Persian cat and the geniality, loyalty, and ebullient strength of a golden retriever. Its stalking skills will synthesize the cat’s and dog’s different styles of hunting. I also predict that in the coming months, you will achieve greater harmony between the cat and dog aspects of your own nature, thereby acquiring some of the hybrid talents of the dat.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Tell me what you pay attention to and I will tell you who you are,” wrote Taurus philosopher José Ortega y Gasset. You could use that idea to achieve a finer grade of peace and grace in the coming weeks. The navelgazing phase of your yearly cycle has begun, which means you’ll be in closest alignment with cosmic rhythms if you get to know yourself much better. One of the best ways to do that is to analyze what you pay most attention to. Another excellent way is to expand and refine and tenderize your feelings for what you pay most attention to.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano wrote that in Havana, people refer to their friends as mi sangre, my blood, or mi tierra, my country. In Caracas, he reported, a friend might be called mi llave, my key, or mi pana, my bread.

Since you are in the alliance-boosting phase of your cycle, Gemini, I trust that you will find good reasons to think of your comrades as your blood, your country, your key, or your bread.

It’s a favorable time for you to get closer, more personal, and more intimate. The affectionate depths are calling to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your emotional intelligence is so strong right now that I bet you could alleviate the pain of a loved one even as you soothe a long-running ache of your own.

You’re so spiritually alluring, I suspect you could arouse the sacred yearning of a guru, saint, or bodhisattva. You’re so interesting, someone might write a poem or story about you.

You’re so overflowing with a lust for life that you might lift people out of their ruts just by being in their presence. You’re so smart you could come up with at least a partial solution to a riddle whose solution has evaded you for a long time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The Queen of North America and Europe called me on the phone. At least that’s how she identified herself. “I have a message for your Leo readers,” she told me. “Why Leo?” I asked. “Because I’m a Leo myself,” she replied, “and I know what my tribe needs to know right now.” I said, “OK. Give it to me.” “Tell Leos to always keep in mind the difference between healthy pride and debilitating hubris,” she said. “Tell them to be dazzlingly and daringly competent without becoming bossy and egomaniacal. They should disappear their arrogance but nourish their mandate to express leadership and serve as a role model. Be shiny and bright but not glaring and blinding. Be irresistible but not envy-inducing.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Marianne Moore (1887–1972) won the Pulitzer Prize and several other prestigious awards.

She was a rare poet who became a celebrity. That’s one of the reasons why the Ford car company asked her to dream up interesting names for a new model they were manufacturing.

Alas, Ford decided the 43 possibilities she presented were too poetic, and rejected all of them. But some of Moore’s names are apt descriptors for the roles you could and should play in the phase you’re beginning, so I’m offering them for your use. Here they are: 1. Anticipator. 2. The Impeccable. 3.

Tonnere Alifère (French term for “winged thunder”). 4. Tir á l’arc (French term for “bull’s eye”). 5. Regina-Rex (Latin terms for “queen” and “king”).

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s conceivable that in one of your past lives you were a pioneer who made the rough 2,170-mile migration via wagon train from Missouri to Oregon in the 1830s. Or maybe you were a sailor who accompanied the Viking Leif Eriksson in his travels to the New World five hundred years before Columbus. Is it possible you were part of the team assembled by Italian diplomat Giovanni da Pian del Carpine, who journeyed from Rome to Mongolia in the thirteenth century? Here’s why I’m entertaining these thoughts, Sagittarius: I suspect that a similar itch to ramble and explore and seek adventure may rise up in you during the coming weeks. I won’t be surprised if you consider making a foray to the edge of your known world.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When the dinosaurs died off 65 million years ago, the crocodiles didn’t. They were around for 135 million years before that era, and are still here now.

Why? “They are extremely tough and robust,” says croc expert James Perran Ross. Their immune systems “are just incredible.” Maybe best of all, they “learn quickly and adapt to changes in their situation.” In accordance with the astrological omens, I’m naming the crocodile as your creature teacher for the coming weeks. I suspect you will be able to call on a comparable version of their will to thrive. (Read more about crocs: tinyurl.com/ToughAndRobust.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “My only hope is that one day I can love myself as much as I love you.” Poet Mariah Gordon-Dyke wrote that to a lover, and now I’m offering it to you as you begin your Season of Self-Love. You’ve passed through other Seasons of Self-Love in the past, but none of them has ever had such rich potential to deepen and ripen your self-love. I bet you’ll discover new secrets about how to love yourself with the same intensity you have loved your most treasured allies.

VIRGO

PISCES

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Congrats, Virgo! You are beginning the denouement of your yearly cycle. Anything you do to resolve lingering conflicts and finish up old business will yield fertile rewards. Fate will conspire benevolently in your behalf as you bid final goodbyes to the influences you’ll be smart not to drag along with you into the new cycle that will begin in a few weeks. To inspire your holy work, I give you this poem

by Virgo poet Charles Wright: “Knot by knot I untie myself from the past / And let it rise away from me like a balloon. / What a small thing it becomes. / What a bright tweak at the vanishing point, blue on blue.”

(Feb. 19-March 20): “Poems can bring comfort,” writes Piscean poet Jane Hirshfield. “They let us know ... that we are not alone—but they also unseat us and make us more susceptible, larger, elastic. They foment revolutions of awareness and allow the complex, uncertain, actual world to enter.” According to my understanding of upcoming astrological omens, Pisces, life itself will soon be like the poems Hirshfield describes: unruly yet comforting; a source of solace but also a catalyst for transformation; bringing you healing and support but also asking you to rise up and reinvent yourself. Sounds like fun! ∆
