Homeless project may not end up at Hillside Church

A

low-income housing and homeless services facility planned for southern San Luis Obispo County is one step closer to being developed somewhere other than its originally proposed and controversial location at Hillside Church in Grover Beach.

At a meeting on Aug. 13, the SLO County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to ensure that grant funding associated with the housing and shelter project—which is being spearheaded by the 5Cities Homeless Coalition and Peoples’ Self-Help Housing—is not tied to any particular property.

Supervisor Lynn Compton (4th District), who was one of two supervisors who voted against funding the housing and shelter project in April, said at the Aug. 13 meeting that the project’s leaders are working to appease community members, many of whom say the project’s development at Hillside Church in a residential neighborhood could lead to safety and traffic issues.

“I have had some calls about this, and I just want to assure the constituents that I have spoken to the 5Cities Homeless Coalition,” Compton said at the meeting. “They did hear the concerns of the people the last time this came around, and they are going to listen to the concerns as they go forward and look for an alternate location to use these funds so we can have something that works down in South County.”

But the controversy surrounding Hillside Church doesn’t stop at community concerns.

In April, the SLO County Board of Supervisors voted to allocate $2.6 million to the 5Cities Homeless Coalition and Peoples’ SelfHelp Housing so they could acquire property at Hillside Church; rehabilitate existing buildings;

and make way for a housing navigation center and offices, transitional housing for youth, and permanent housing units on site.

The funding is a portion of the county’s Homeless Emergency Aid Program grant, which provides onetime funding to entities that hope to address homelessness. At least 50 percent of the funding must be used by Jan. 1, 2020.

Caldwell announces jump from pundit to politician

After decades of talking politics, Andy Caldwell is diving in.

The longtime radio personality and op-ed scribe announced his campaign for the 24th U.S. Congressional District on Aug. 12, setting him up for a potential 2020 showdown with incumbent Democrat Salud Carbajal.

“He’s driving voters away from himself,” Caldwell said. “His party wants Medicare for all. Medicare is going bankrupt. Social Security is going bankrupt. We have to save what we have for seniors now before we expand coverage to everyone in the country.”

Born on an Air Force Base in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1958, Caldwell’s family moved to Lompoc a decade later. He graduated from Lompoc High School, then San Diego State, and began his career in agriculture, working his way through college as a seasonal laborer at Sinton and Brown, eventually moving into a management role at another division of the Union Sugar company.

When he left the company in 1991, he began his advocacy career as founder of the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture, and Business.

Better known as COLAB, the group has 1,000 members in Santa Barbara County, Caldwell

said, and it has sprouted neighbor groups of the same name in Imperial, Ventura, and San Luis Obispo counties.

His conservative daily radio show runs on AM 1440 in Santa Maria, part of his 25-year career in local radio. He wrote editorials for the Santa Maria Times for 17 years and now publishes three times a week in the Santa Barbara News Press.

Caldwell said he hadn’t planned on running for Congress but was urged on by GOP leaders in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. He said he expects a competitive campaign but doesn’t see himself as an underdog.

“I already have higher name ID than Salud Carbajal in this district,” he said.

Democrats have held the district since it was redrawn in 2013. The answer to beating Carbajal, Caldwell said, is with his existing local influences.

“It’s got to be grassroots,” he said. “It is going to be a tough campaign because he has incumbency status, and he’s going to be raising money from PACs [political action committees] across the country.”

Carbajal recently called for impeaching President Donald Trump and has been vocal in his disapproval of many of the Trump NEWS continued page 7

administration’s policies. Carbajal campaign spokesman, Ben Romo, says the congressman is focussing on his constituents. As for any future GOP candidates, Romo said he’s not sure who they will be.

Republican Michael Erin Woody announced his inclination to run earlier this year after a failed 2018 bid for the same seat.

“There’s a primary in March, and there’s a general in November,” Romo said. “Whoever the Republican nominee for Congress is yet to be determined.”

ECHO gets Atascadero’s OK to increase services

Atascadero residents and local organizations submitted 99 letters in support of El Camino Homeless Organization’s (ECHO) request to transition to a 24-hour facility, increase programs, and increase its number of beds from 50 to 60.

Elisa Becerra was the only person who spoke against the request during the City Council meeting on Aug. 13.

Becerra said she worries about clients’ personal belongings that would be left in the shelter during the day, but she said her biggest concern is that 24/7 services won’t give individuals experiencing homelessness the push they need to better their lives.

“I only say this because I was in a shelter, and without it, I don’t know what would have happened. We had to be out of there every morning at 7. It helped us get our routine back, it helped me get back into regular work hours,” she said.

Becerra said with the help she received, she’s been successfully housed for almost five years.

Wendy Lewis, ECHO’s president and CEO, told New Times she appreciated Becerra’s concerns, but the facility isn’t going to become a day center where clients can hang out.

“It’s an opportunity to get increased case management, increased programming. It will also be for those who are working overnight shifts. Yes, they’re just going to be able to sleep because that’s what they’re going to do to be better prepared to do what they need to find housing,” Lewis said.

ECHO currently operates from 4:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. (more recently 9 a.m.), but Lewis said the hours have hindered the organization from providing enough services to people who want them.

The City Council approved the requested increases, and the facility will begin to transition to a 24/7 facility 30 days from Aug. 13. In the meantime, Lewis said they will be hiring a daytime coordinator to help increase staffing ability and programming.

Brother of man searched by SLO police had probation search terms

While facts remain scarce about the July 10 arrest of a couple whose house was searched without a warrant by San Luis Obispo police officers, law enforcement officials continue to claim that a computer database glitch is what

VIEWER DISCRETION ignited the situation.

SLO city and SLO County District Attorney’s Office officials reiterated on Aug. 14 that the Criminal Justice Informational Database, which is used across law enforcement agencies, “clearly” showed that O’Connor Way resident Cheyne Orndoff was on probation and subject to random searches.

“We rely upon it routinely,” SLO County Assistant DA Eric Dobroth said.

In reality, Orndoff was not on probation. But his brother, Cole Orndoff, is. In 2017, Cole pleaded no contest to a charge of falsely impersonating Cheyne.

That’s where police say the data error occurred.

Recent news reports and community discussion have challenged this version of events by asserting that Cole’s probation conditions did not include any search terms.

While his plea form simply states “informal probation,” other case documents confirm that Cole’s threeyear probation terms included searches without probable cause.

Per the conditions, he’s required to “submit upon demand of any peace/ probation officer” a search of “person, personal property, residence, and/ or vehicle ... without warrant, with or without probable cause, any time of day or night.”

Because SLOPD mixed up Cheyne for Cole, and due to an erroneous tip that Cheyne might be in possession of the weapon that SLOPD Chief Deanna Cantrell left in an El Pollo Loco bathroom on July 10, Cheyne and his wife, Vanessa Bedroni, face felony child endangerment charges from the DA’s Office.

The couple has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Their next court date is Aug. 27. The couple’s attorneys declined to comment on their cases.

Arroyo Grande moves to ban vaping in some public spaces

The city of Arroyo Grande is working to update its smoking and tobacco retail ordinances to include cannabis products and electronic cigarettes, the latest of a number of jurisdictions in San Luis Obispo County that are doing the same.

Arroyo Grande’s City Council voted unanimously at a meeting on Aug. 13 to introduce an ordinance that would prohibit vaping and smoking marijuana in all the public spaces where tobacco is already banned, including parks, trails, pedestrian bridges, open spaces, sports facilities, and arcades.

City Attorney Heather Whitham said the ordinance would broaden the city’s definition of “smoking” to include products that weren’t legal or available a few years ago. It would also change the city’s legal smoking age from 18 to 21, which hasn’t yet been updated to meet the 2016 change in state law.

The ordinance, Whitham told New Times, shouldn’t have any major impacts on tobacco retailers or residents.

“We’re not intending to expand any state regulation in any way,” Whitham said.

During the Aug. 13 meeting, Mayor Caren Ray Russom said that she’d like City Council to consider banning smoking in public altogether through an ordinance resembling San Luis Obispo’s total

prohibition of smoking in public spaces.

While a number of other cities in the county—including San Luis Obipso, Pismo Beach, Paso Robles, and Atascadero—are changing or have already updated their outdoor smoking bans to include e-cigarettes and cannabis, none have taken any real stand against the increasing popularity of e-cigarettes, according to Inger Appanaitis, program manager for the county’s Tobacco Control Program.

The number of U.S. high school students who reported e-cigarette use increased by 78 percent between 2017 and 2018, according to the 2018 National Youth Tobacco Survey. Numbers among middle school students rose by 48 percent.

Many say the fruit- and candy-flavored juices that vapes and e-cigarettes use are partially to blame for their increasing popularity among teens.

While Appanaitis said roughly 35 cities and counties across the state have banned flavored nicotine products, none in SLO County have, and many city leaders are worried an all-out flavor ban could lead to legal complaints and litigation. Others are becoming increasingly interested in taking more drastic measures against vaping.

“There’s been a lot of action in the Bay Area,” Appanaitis said, “and the wave seems to be moving down to the Central Coast.”

Wilshire Hospice sued for alleged discrimination

A former employee of Wilshire Health and Community Services is alleging that her request for reasonable accommodations for her disability was denied and she was fired because of it.

A lawsuit filed on Aug. 8 against Wilshire Health and Community Services Inc. alleges that Victoria Thorp was discriminated against, harassed, and wrongfully terminated.

Thorp began her full-time employment with Wilshire as a licensed registered nurse on Sept. 26, 2017, the lawsuit states, and on Oct. 28, 2017, she was diagnosed with a serious medical condition that qualifies as a disability under applicable provisions of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. She informed managers and human resources personnel at Wilshire of

by Jayson Mellom

her disability, the lawsuit claims, and requested accommodations that would allow her to continue her employment with the organization. The lawsuit alleges that Wilshire and its managing agents systematically refused to engage in a timely and good faith process with Thorp.

According to the lawsuit, Thorp is accusing the organization of refusing to provide her with accommodations even though she “communicated fully and honestly with Wilshire and provided all requested medical information” relating to her request.

On March 28, 2019, the lawsuit alleges, Wilshire falsely accused Thorp of violating her stated physical restrictions; unilaterally informed her that no further accommodations would be provided; denied her the opportunity to apply for vacant positions for which she was qualified in violation of Fair Employment Housing Act and applicable regulations; and forced Thorp to take a medical or other leave of absence.

On April 3, 2019, Wilshire instructed Thorp to immediately appear at work to sign unspecified documents and to turn in her phone and laptop, the lawsuit states.

Thorp asked to postpone this meeting until she had the opportunity to confer with legal counsel—but the lawsuit claims that the request was refused. Wilshire then gave her a letter stating her employment was terminated, the lawsuit claims, as a direct response to her request.

According to the lawsuit, the letter stated: “Thorp refused to meet with Wilshire about her accommodations; she resigned; she violated guidelines set by her Health Care Provider; she was jeopardizing the safety of … patients; Wilshire has been accommodating [Thorp] and the guidelines of [her] health care providers; Wilshire was no longer able to provide any accommodations; and Wilshire was not able to provide Thorp with a position within the office environment due to census.”

The lawsuit alleges that Thorp has since experienced severe emotional distress, and fear for her job, career, financial security, and ability to continue to obtain treatment for her disability.

In an email to New Times, Wilshire spokesperson Ron Yukelson said, “Wilshire Health & Community Services has not been served with the litigation in question and thus has no basis for comment on the matter.” Δ —Karen Garcia

Cheers and jeers Congressman Carbajal talks gun control and impeachment at recent town hall in Santa Maria

W

hen U.S Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-SantaBarbara) grabbed his orange tie, he was talking about guns.

“Orange is the color of those committed to gun control in this country,” he said.

He was addressing his constituents of the 24th Congressional District at an Aug. 8 town hall in Santa Maria following a string of three mass shootings that left dozens dead and a nation in mourning.

In addition to gun control, he also talked about his endorsement for impeachment of President Donald Trump, which could highlight the growing support of that position within the Democratic Party’s establishment, according to Cal Poly Political Science professor Michael Latner.

“He’s never been one to come out with really bold or unpopular legislation,” Latner told New Times.

Deep divides remain within the party over impeachment, but town hall attendees responded to Carbajal’s statements with raucous shouts and applause. However, Latner said impeachment doesn’t top the list of concerns for most Democrats.

“Democratic voters are much more concerned about beating President Trump at the polls,” Latner said.

Town hall attendees greeted Carbajal’s statements about gun reform with loud approval, clapping, cheering, and

sometimes standing and whistling.

The congressman decried the lack of policy movement on gun safety, talking about his own offering—the Extreme Risk Protection Order Act of 2019, also known as House Resolution 1236. The bill, which Carbajal reintroduced in February, has more than 130 co-sponsors in the House and would set up a grant program to incentivize state, tribal, and local governments to adopt laws aimed at reducing gun deaths and injuries.

Extreme Risk laws enable families or law enforcement to obtain court orders temporarily prohibiting individuals who pose a threat from owning firearms.

Carbajal spoke about the bipartisan gun safety legislation that the House of Representatives passed in February, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019. The bill would stymie the loopholes at gun shows or online and require background checks for gun purchases.

The legislation stalled in the Senate, and Democrats are pressuring Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to bring the bill for a vote in the wake of the recent shootings.

At the local meeting, Carbajal went after McConnell for not bringing the House legislation to a vote, with town hall attendees booing the senator’s name.

Data collected by the Pew Research

Center in 2018 shows that 89 percent of voters—ranging from Republicans to independents to Democrats—support preventing people with mental illnesses from purchasing guns.

Doug Pierce, a Cal Poly political scientist studying gun policy, doesn’t see the legislation introduced this year as sweeping gun control legislation.

“Those are tiny steps, and it remains to be seen if they’d even pass,” Pierce said.

He said he doubts that a candidate running on a platform of gun control or gun safety will get broad attention from voters.

“Unless another event happens closer to the [election], closer to campaign time, I don’t see it happening,” Pierce said.

He added that he doesn’t expect the national outcry over the recent shootings to carry over into meaningful action on gun reform.

“There’s lots of very wealthy people that are willing to put money into gun control,” Pierce said. “But it’s a puzzle why the gun control movement hasn’t equaled that of the gun rights movement.”

As Carbajal ran through Democratic touchstones—including his co-sponsorship of Medicare for all, raising the minimum wage, and pay equality for women—there were moments when the town hall sparked brief flashes of disagreement between attendees with opposing perspectives.

A small but stiff dissenting presence jeered when others’ cheers were at their loudest. Carbajal’s staff distributed earpieces connected to a Spanish translation of the entire meeting, and one attendee was ushered forward to ask her question in Spanish.

“English!” one man shouted from a

dozen rows back, eliciting a sharp stare from the translator.

Angry shouts also pierced the cheers that followed Carbajal’s talk of impeachment, which he said isn’t about politics, but about gathering more information about the president.

“I’m doing this because it’s my responsibility as a member of Congress,” Carbajal said. “Because it’s right.”

Support for President Trump has fallen sharply in some parts of the country, including Orange County in Southern California, which as of Aug. 7 had more registered Democrats than Republicans for the first time in decades, according to information released by the county’s Registrar of Voters. This month, Carbajal joined the growing contingency of House Democrats asking for impeachment and was the 118th U.S. representative to sign on to the movement to impeach the president.

Currently running for re-election, Carbajal faces a couple of challengers, including longtime local radio talk show host Andy Caldwell.

The founder of the advocacy group Coalition of Labor, Agriculture, and Business (COLAB) regularly makes comments on most of the issues that come before the county’s elected bodies, including the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, which Carbajal once served on as the 1st District representative. ∆ Contact Staff Writer William D’Urso from New Times’ sister paper at wdurso@santamariasun.com.

Two-wheel female community

A

nya Violet has had a love for two wheels since she was old enough to ride dirt bikes. That passion grew when she began riding motorcycles around 2013.

It was during that time that she met her now partner, Ashmore Ellis. The two were new to riding motorcycles on the road, and they gained confidence in their riding abilities every day and began forming a lasting bond.

Riding together turned into making plans to go on a camping trip and the idea for Babes Ride Out was born.

“It all started really simply. We just wanted to meet other women that ride and thought we would host a campout in the desert,” Violet said.

The pair had connected with other female riders through social media and thought to invite them along for the trip, but they didn’t stop there. Violet and Ellis put a call out for all interested female riders to join them on a ride to an area that was a little past Borrego Springs, California. The first event was called Babes in Borrego.

Violet and Ellis were getting positive feedback on their invitation but only anticipated having about nine women attend. When the day came, a total of 50 women from California, Oregon, New York, and Arizona made the ride to the campsite.

“We were all there because of one

reason. We loved to ride motorcycles, and that was enough,” Ellis said. “Our biggest challenge was figuring out how to keep this going down the right path.”

The following year, Violet and Ellis found a private campground in Joshua Tree National Park that was stocked with shower and toilet amenities. This time around, the women brought in bands, food, and raffles for the riders to participate in.

That year 500 women were in attendance.

For six years, Babes Ride Out has grown into a community of female riders who come together four times a year for events. It’s a way for women to build friendships, learn about the gear, get some riding tips, and enjoy the outdoors.

“Babes Ride Out is not a club, so there are no chapters or anything like that. We are a community and event series with four events hosted annually on both the East Coast and West Coast of the United States,” Violet said.

She said women have been riding motorcycles for as long as motorcycles have existed but have always been outnumbered.

“Our goal of Babes Ride Out is to inspire and empower women to explore the world on two wheels and make lasting connections through the community,” Violet said.

The pair is hosting Babes Ride Out 7 at Santa Margarita Ranch for the first time, from Oct. 11 through the 13.

Saving the future Preparing for a post-Diablo Canyon SLO County

W

hat separates San Luis Obispo County from Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Santa Barbara counties is that electricity users in those counties receive (or will soon receive) an annual 3 percent savings on their bills, some $4.4 million last year, and we don’t.

These counties, along with 23 cities (including every city in SLO County except for Atascadero), have adopted community choice energy (CCE)—a program that provides carbon-free power at a lower cost. CCE also allows for local control of both our energy production and our regional economy. This is significant because now is the time to plan for a postDiablo Canyon Power Plant future.

As CCE expands, annual savings may reach as high as 8 percent, which could save SLO County residents and businesses more than $8.3 million every year.

With savings this substantial, one would expect our county’s elected leaders, who claim to be fiscally responsible, to eagerly put millions of dollars back into the pockets of local ratepayers.

Yet for years, the SLO County Board of Supervisors, led by current board Chair Debbie Arnold, have refused to adopt CCE. Just recently, board members voted against even discussing it.

To me, this is pretty simple. This wellvetted program would save ratepayers money at a time of high housing costs and living expenses. It’s already expensive enough to do business here.

A program that has achieved bipartisan

HODIN

support in other counties should be at the top of our board’s agenda. Instead, rigid ideology and an insistence on bad government seems to be winning the day. This comes at the expense of our community and its future. It’s shameful.

The benefits of CCE aren’t limited to savings. The program is also economically and environmentally responsible. One of the key elements of community choice energy is the investment into local energy projects that would benefit SLO County by creating new jobs that would bolster our regional economy.

Just last month, the Atascadero City Council voted against joining every other city in SLO County in adopting CCE, as was highlighted in a recent New Times commentary (“They’d rather not discuss it,” July 25). City leaders cited the fact that the county had not joined as a justification for holding off. While this is a poor rationale for preventing Atascadero residents from benefiting from the program, it highlights yet another reason why our Board of Supervisors should take action and adopt community choice energy this year.

Unfortunately, our county is on the verge of missing the deadline for the program to take effect in 2021. The Board of Supervisors has until the end of August to agendize CCE or forego millions in cost savings for our residents and local businesses for yet another year.

With counties and cities up and down the Central Coast and throughout California joining in to save money, benefit their local economies, and preserve

the environment, I believe the question isn’t if San Luis Obispo County will join, but when.

Will we rise to the occasion and recognize this key opportunity before us?

Or will our county continue to lose out on millions in savings each year while our board majority drags its feet?

Of late, Debbie Arnold has been, unfortunately, the deciding vote against adopting Community Choice Energy. I urge her and her fellow majority members to do the right thing for the county and their constituents and support adopting this program before the deadline. ∆ Ellen Beraud is a candidate for 5th District SLO County supervisor. She is a former Atascadero mayor and City Council member, a small business owner, and a 30-year health care professional.

Letters Statewide rent control

It sounds wonderful at first, but go deeper. We will end up with a shortage of available rentals. Rent control will make it worse. It has already happened in several California communities with rent control.

First, rental homes will be sold as the rent will not cover the increasing costs of taxes, insurance, and repairs. Once sold, rental homes will then be owner-occupied.

Second, there will be no incentive for developers to build rental units. They are developers, not rental companies.

Third, existing apartment buildings may be sold as condos and will be owner-occupied.

No experienced person will buy a home

with the intention of renting it. Costs of maintaining rentals would increase— taxes, utilities, insurance, and repairs will no longer be covered by controlled rent.

Think of potatoes. If there is price control, farmers will plant something else. So no potatoes for supper. Same with rentals. Owners will sell and invest elsewhere.

So think this through before you vote. We already have a rental housing shortage.

Patricia Lloyd Los Osos

More questions than answers

As a member of Atascadero’s City Council, I would like to respond to a recent letter to the editor regarding “Elected officials should have done basic research” (Aug. 8). The letter implied that “the council wasn’t doing its job” when it delayed voting on the proposal for community choice energy. I don’t think most citizens understand that if the City Council had decided to participate in Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP), everyone living within the city limits would automatically be enrolled in MBCP unless they individually opt out.

This is a big decision, and it affects every resident of the city.

The council asked many questions at the meeting, but several were not answered. Here’s a few of the questions that were asked: • Why was PG&E not allowed to answer council questions about the MBCP (I called PG&E and was told that they couldn’t talk about it)? It would be helpful to hear from both energy providers before making a decision.

• The representative from Monterey Bay clearly stated that there were three categories of green energy available to the city and its citizens: 35 percent green energy, 50 percent green energy, or 100 percent green energy. They were unable to explain how this would actually work when there isn’t enough green energy available yet on the grid. Would they have to supplement it with “dirty energy” such as coal, nuclear, natural gas powered, etc.?

• How will MBCP separate the energy in the transmission lines, with 35 percent green energy sent to one home and 100 percent green energy to an adjacent home?

Don’t they share the same power line?

• If the city “opts in” and asks for 100 percent green energy, would all of our citizens be automatically enrolled in the 100 percent category unless they request a different amount or opt out?

• Is a rebate given to all customers, or only to those selecting 35 percent green energy? Will the 100 percent green energy actually be more expensive than power from PG&E? • If San Luis Obispo county decides not to participate in the program (they haven’t made that decision yet) will the MBCP be economically viable without it?

And more.

Rebates are great, and competition between energy providers is a good thing.

However, glib answers and a high-pressure presentation isn’t enough. The devil is always in the details, and asking for more information doesn’t imply that the council hasn’t done its homework or that they’d

“rather not discuss it.” To the contrary!

SLO’s new construction displaces longtime residents I am writing to express the great disappointment I feel over the new construction projects in San Luis Obispo and the one at Foothill Boulevard and north Chorro in particular. You see, my 94-year-old father lives there and is now being evicted. He is a veteran on a fixed income who has lived in his rental home for 30 years and in SLO for 52 years.

My father is a very vibrant 94-year-old, but this is a very unfortunate event at this stage of his life. For all the obvious reasons, which include age and income, this move is going to be hard. His home is his life. He is married and is a journeyman carpenter with a workshop at his home that keeps him very busy. We all converge on his small modest home, which is the hub for family gatherings. How sad to take that away from him!

To find a place that will fit his needs will be close to impossible. He will have to give up a place to build and fix furniture pieces for family and friends and a gathering place for loved ones.

The projects that I have read about taking place in San Luis Obispo are really affecting longtime residents of San Luis Obispo. In the name of “progress,” they are doing it on the back of elderly

and vulnerable people. It’s very sad and unfortunate that my father has to be subjected to this at this late stage of his life.

If you know of any agency names and numbers I can contact to help my father relocate in SLO, it would be greatly appreciated.

We need America back This is not the America where I was born, where we memorized the quotes on the Statue of Liberty, “give me your tired, your poor,” where our church regularly delivered clothes and food to migrant camps in southern Arizona, where my father would spend his Saturdays teaching the kids to draw with paper, paints, and crayons. We took it for granted.

What changed? “Send these, the

homeless, tempest-tossed to me.” Now, we’re a hateful, angry, hostile country.

Children are afraid to attend the Summer Free Lunch programs because of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which convinced us they were only targeting and deporting criminals. Not so in California. Daily, we see mothers and grandmothers crying as they are forced to leave families behind, kids who never knew their parents were illegal, fleeing horrible situations to give them a chance for a better life. That chance is what America used to stand for.

The Mississippi factory raids really upset me. From what I read, we should be investigating the management for abuse and exploitation, not detaining 700 minimum-wage employees, illegal or not.

Somehow I don’t think the criminals are hiding in a chicken factory.

I wish I was a lawyer to help with the overwhelming immigration paperwork— which I’m sure is very convoluted and impossible to understand.

I wish I was a doctor to help cure the diseases and infections that we’re causing at the impossibly crowded internment camps.

I wish I had the money to care for all the scared children who come to the U.S. border with only a note pinned to their clothes.

All I can do is hope and pray the world survives this cruel orange dictator.

‘Renawable’ energy production won’t do much

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1

TICKETS AT ORCHESTRANOVO.ORG

If the author of “Community choice is the real deal” (Aug. 8) is truly concerned about the local economy, he might want to give some thought to the hundreds of millions (over 20 years) of lost local tax revenue; the loss of more than a billion dollars a year in indirect economic benefits; and the loss of way more than a thousand wellpaying jobs that our community will suffer with the closure of Diablo Canyon Power Plant. As far as rebates, our unrestrained investment in wind and solar has blessed us with electrical utility rates that are among the highest in the country. And to beat all, I understand there was a California Public Utilities Commission meeting recently to consider—guess what—raising the utility rates.

Last year, renewables served 26 percent of the annual load, according to the California Independent System Operator. As of last June, renewables served 30 percent of the load so far this year, but that will decline toward the end of the year, so it is useless for anyone to claim that they paid extra to only have renewable power. Fortunately, right now Diablo Canyon provides another 6 or 7 percent of carbon-free power, but its days are numbered. In the letter, there was mention of a possible 250-megawatt-hour (MWh) increase of carbon-free energy.

Diablo Canyon produces that much carbon-free energy in less than seven minutes.

Where does this Community choice

money go? California renewables are approaching the limit of their efficient production. Every month of the year has a level of renewables overproduction, called curtailment, because the demand is not in place for it when it is produced. Right now, it is less than 3 percent of renewables production, but that figure is not only increasing, it is beginning to accelerate.

Last year, some 460 MWh were curtailed.

This year, by the end of June, almost 680 MWh were curtailed, and the year was only half over. Next year, the annual rate of curtailment will be measured in terawatt-hours.

What this means is that increased deployment of wind and solar resources will become more and more inefficient because only a part of the increased capacity will contribute to increased renewable production and the rest will contribute to curtailment. At some point, it will become a matter of throwing good money after bad—a lesson the Germans have yet to learn. So the answer is: Most of the community choice money in the future will be going nowhere except into the pockets of renewable special interests.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AL FONZI

Stoking the fires of division

C

onservatives call it “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Trump calls it “fake news.” Progressives call it their patriotic duty to protect the nation from “a lawless president, a tyrant, a dictator,” the “reincarnation of Hitler.”

President Trump bears a good deal of responsibility for the chasm of political division within our nation. His mercurial temperament, his coarse language, and use of personal insults toward political enemies via social media is unpresidential as Americans have come to understand how a president conducts himself in office. His most ardent supporters love it. They’ve chafed for years as Trump’s predecessors remained stoic as the media, academia, and the entertainment industry mocked them, their policies, and supporters as stupid hayseeds, objects of derision like “those Walmart people” for years. Trump fights back, he hits hard, and never apologizes.

The left hates him for this as much as they despise his supporters.

Trump as president has accomplished much, although you would never know it, according to what pretends to be news organizations. They’ve been fixated upon every scintilla of potential scandal, hoping that he will be impeached or resign in disgrace. It’s a bit odd, since for decades Trump was the darling of the media and Hollywood. It wasn’t until he ran for president and upset the plans of the political

class that he became public enemy No. 1.

This turmoil is mostly class-based. It has less to do with ideology than with social status. The political upstart and his uncultured family suddenly moved next door in Beverly Hills! The best and the brightest from Harvard, the New York financial districts, and the Hollywood celebrity class, et al., are all stunned that suddenly the commoners are running the country. Worst of all, half the country thinks this is really great!

The political progressives are incensed and determined to destroy the president and anyone who supports him. Their agenda, which really gained momentum under the Obama presidency, is in a ditch. Their long-term goals are being not simply delayed but set back for years.

Trump has been very successful in appointing federal judges, including two Supreme Court justices, and potentially could derail the progressive agenda for decades. That agenda includes massively expanding the control of government over the lives of Americans and reducing the Constitution and Bill of Rights to a mere suggestion rather than a governing document. Their leftist vision eviscerates the First Amendment protections for freedom of speech, the press, and religion and now openly declares their intent to disarm the American people by repealing the Second Amendment.

They demonize anyone with deeply

held religious beliefs and persecute them legally and physically, practices for which the original Pilgrims fled old Europe for America. Emboldened, leftists openly declare their intent to impose a socialist dictatorship upon the nation, destroy our free-market economy, and impose draconian reductions on the middle-class standard of living, a class they despise as much as the workingclass Trump supporters.

The left uses every opportunity to brand their opponents as racist, ignorant bigots stuck in the past, dangerous to civic order. During the 2016 election campaign, leftist violence against Trump supporters occurred regularly at political rallies, yet the media made it appear that it was only Trump supporters who engaged in violence. The left has utilized anarchist terrorists such as Antifa to bully and physically attack anyone who dares oppose leftist ideology.

Democratic Party officials have yet to agree to brand Antifa as a domestic terrorist group, even though abundant evidence exists that they pose a serious threat to the peaceful political process.

The Dayton mass-murderer had Antifa affiliations along with his other twisted thoughts. He and the Gilroy shooter both supported leftist ideologies, although progressive politicians bear no responsibility for his murderous actions any more than Trump is responsible for the sick ideology of the El Paso mass-murderer.

The effort of the national media to tie Trump to these events is intentionally divisive. For instance, ever since the Charlottesville riot between neo-Nazis and Antifa, the press has branded Trump as supportive of the Nazis. Trump was defending the third group of citizens who wanted to preserve historical monuments; Trump specifically condemned the Nazis and other violent groups.

The media continuously reports only the first half of Trump’s statement about there being “good people on both sides,” without his condemnation of the Nazis and violent groups. Former Vice President Biden repeated this mischaracterization again recently, even though a reporter attempted to correct him. The media has repeated this slander so often that most of the public now believes it to be true, and the Democratic Party has picked it up as a major theme, extending it to anyone who supports Trump.

They’ve called him anti-Semitic, even though his daughter and son-in-law are Jewish; they call him a racist although he has wide support among prominent black Americans, such as the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King who defends him regularly.

If the press continues their slanderous mischaracterization of Trump and his supporters, they will get their headlines.

Any blood in the streets of America will be on their hands. ∆ Al Fonzi is an Army lieutenant colonel of military intelligence who had a 35-year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars. Send comments through the editor at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

The Shredder

A parade of asshats

W

hen your job is making fun of fools, here on the Central Coast it’s like shooting fish in a barrel.

Let’s start with über-conservative Andy Caldwell, who wants to be a politician even though he’s made a career of lambasting politicians.

On Aug. 12, good ol’ Andy announced he wants the 24th U.S. Congressional District seat currently occupied by Salud Carbajal, a seat that Democrats have held since the district was redrawn in 2013.

“I already have higher name ID than Salud Carbajal in this district,” he told our reporters.

Are you asking yourself, “Who’s Andy Caldwell?” Because I sure am.

It’s probably because I’m not one of a handful of right-wing, tin-foil-behatted listeners who can’t figure out how to change their radio frequency to FM. Andy is a “radio personality” on AM 1440 in Santa Maria, which also broadcasts syndicated shows with Lou Dobbs and Sean Hannity. For years, he’s written conservative editorials in Santa Maria newspapers, and he likes to put his 50 cents in at government meetings.

Andy’s also the founder of COLAB, the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture, and Business, which is really a cover for conservative business folks who don’t like taxes, government regulations, or labor protections. The group has 1,000 members in Santa Barbara County, and

SLO County has its own version with Mike Brown at its head—and yeah, he’s the dude who drones on during public comment at SLO County Board of Supervisors meetings.

I guess it runs in the COLAB blood.

Lucky us. Thanks, Andy!

When our reporters asked Carbajal spokesman Ben Romo if his boss was ready to face a challenger, Romo said, “Salud is always ready to run a strong campaign, will always be ready to run a strong campaign. But right now he’s eight months into his first term, and he’s focused on his work in Congress.”

Um, hey new guy, he’s in his second term, and instead of bragging how he’s perpetually ready to run a campaign, how about lauding Salud’s leadership and legislating? His reelection will take care of itself if he effectively represents his constituents.

Speaking of dunderheaded moves, when I’m right, I’m right. Poor old Skeeter Mangan, who found SLO Police Chief Deanna Cantrell’s Glock semi-auto handgun in an El Pollo Loco restroom where she accidentally left it, is facing felony charges for finding and taking the gun.

SLOPD is urging SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow to file felony charges against Skeeter for grand theft of a firearm, possessing a loaded firearm in a public place, and burglary. Skeeter’s brother-in-law, Sean Greenwood explained in a statement

to KSBY-TV that Skeeter has mental disabilities.

“He is an extremely shy and quiet man, and for him, verbalizing is difficult. Because Skeeter, for the most part, is nonverbal, speaking with friends and family, holding a job, and expressing his thoughts is an everyday struggle. He doesn’t have a cellphone or computer, nor does he have social media.”

So Skeeter’s facing felony charges, and Cantrell had her pay docked $1,600 and was ordered to undergo extra firearm safety training. Seems fair, right? Ha! This has been a clusterfuck from the get-go.

Remember Cheyne Orndoff, who was misidentified as Skeeter? Cheyne’s house was searched without a warrant due to a probation database snafu, and Child Protective Services took his children.

Orndoff and his wife, Vanessa Bedroni, were arrested on felony child endangerment charges. All because of a wrong identification brought the po-po to their door.

So the chief loses her gun, puts the public at risk, and three other saps end up with felony charges! Please don’t lose anything else, Deanna!

I know SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon, who urged leniency for Cantrell’s mistake, has her back—and possibly shouldn’t. But 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton definitely doesn’t have Harmon’s back, if

you can trust CalCoastNews’ reporting!

I always have to verify CalCoast’s blog posts, because you just never know which stories bend the truth and which contain actual facts! The blog’s recent post about the probation terms in the Orndoff case isn’t exactly accurate, but Compton did indeed call Harmon out on Facebook.

Throw enough shit at the wall and eventually something’s true! That’s Karen Velie’s extremely non-journalistic catchphrase.

Compton scolded Harmon over her plan to ban natural gas appliances from new buildings in SLO Town.

“I do not see how this mayor stays in office,” Compton wrote. “Her ideas are beyond the fringe...on everything....banning statues of people in the parks (only “ideas” for statues), trying to kick Amazon out of SLO....and....the big red fake roses in her hair everyday single day (what is up with that!!!!)??? She is a joke!

So ridiculous…and the City Council is just as bad. I hope people wake up.”

Calling Harmon out for her signature red rose seems like a particularly petty thing to do for someone who obviously fusses over her own appearance. You realize Harmon’s signature look is lifted from Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, right? Are you taking a play from the Lefty Handbook and scolding Harmon for cultural appropriation? No? You’re just giving in to your catty ideological Facebook urges?

Consider yourself a fish in a barrel. ∆ The Shredder loves a daisy chain of disaster. Send ideas and comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

The crackdown on Roundup SLO County schools rethink pest mitigation amid ongoing Roundup controversy

I

n 2016 and 2017, nearly 80 schools and child care facilities in SLO County used pesticides to keep gophers, cockroaches, weeds, and other pests off campuses and out of classrooms.

According to data collected by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, nearly half of those schools used Roundup, a controversial weed killer that is at the center of thousands of lawsuits that claim exposure to the product can cause cancer.

Now some school districts in SLO County are rethinking pest management.

San Luis Coastal Unified School District banned the use of pesticides at its school sites entirely at the end of 2018, according Pesticides to Chris Bonin, were used director of facilities, operations, and on roughly transportation.

The move was in direct response to the scrutiny surrounding Roundup and a compound it contains called & glyphosate, which some say can lead to serious health issues.

“Plus it’s good for the environment,” Bonin said of the district’s ban on pesticides. “It’s a good thing to do.” in SLO County Within the last few years, tens between 2016 of thousands of and 2017 lawsuits have been filed against Monsanto, the *Data collected by the company that California Department makes Roundup, of Pesticide Regulation and several

complainants have won their cases. In August 2018, a California jury ordered Monsanto to pay a former school groundskeeper nearly $300 million in damages after he argued that extended exposure to Roundup contributed to his non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

That case and others like it were concerning to San Luis Coastal staff and families, Bonin said, and put a spotlight on health and safety concerns surrounding pesticide use in general.

Pests of all kinds present a constant battle at the roughly 15 sites in the San Luis Coastal Unified School District, Bonin said, and can cause a plethora of their own health and safety issues.

Bugs and rodents can spread disease and destroy facilities, and holes left by gophers and ground squirrels are dangerous to students and staff playing and walking on campuses.

Between 2016 and 2017, Roundup was reportedly used at nearly 73 percent of the San Luis Coastal’s school sites, according to the Department of Pesticide Regulation, but since the pesticide ban, Bonin said he’s been experimenting with organic sprays and other pest mitigation strategies.

Right now, Bonin said some campuses are looking a bit less manicured than usual.

“It’ll take us a little while to find the right product,” he said, “but in the meantime we’re going to change up our landscapes a bit.”

The district added another staffer to its now nine-person maintenance team just to focus on weeding. Bonin said staff are also working on installing “rockscapes” with drought-tolerant plants. While weeds can grow through grass and wood chips, they have a hard time getting through rocks.

Coast Unified School District’s board of education also voted to ban the use of Roundup on all district-owned properties in May of this year, after parents

complained via social media that they had witnessed maintenance staff spraying Roundup at one school site weeks earlier.

Roundup was reportedly used on three of the district’s five sites between 2016 and 2017, according to the Department of

Pesticide Regulation, before the ban was in place.

Coast Unified Superintendent Scott Smith said in an email to New Times that the district is now in line with Cayucos Elementary School District, where he also serves as superintendent. That district hasn’t used Roundup in years, he said.

At Lucia Mar Unified School District, which used Roundup at only two of its 20 sites in 2016 and 2017, Grounds and Custodial Supervisor Jeff Baker said maintenance staff cover open space and problem areas with layers of mulch in an effort to limit pesticide use.

Spreading mulch is one of the pest mitigation strategies outlined by the Department of Pesticide Regulation on its recently updated School and Child Care Integrated Pest Management website, which is aimed at helping California schools and child care facilities limit toxic pesticide use whenever possible.

The Healthy Schools Act of 2000 prohibits some pesticides and encourages schools and child care centers to use the least toxic pest management practices possible by developing integrated pest management plans, which can include maintaining mulch, handpicking weeds, soil solarization, and blocking doorways and cracks that bugs could get through.

Through the Department of Pesticide Regulation site, schools can sign up for pest management training and learn more about chemical pesticides and ways to avoid using them, according to Charlotte Fadipe, assistant director of communications with the Department of Pesticide Regulation.

“We know that weeds are a pest for schools,” Fadipe wrote in an email to New Times. “It can cause issues for the athletic teams and sports activities amongst other things. We encourage schools to use methods like mowing, hand weeding, or even using goats instead of chemical pesticides where possible.”

Still, a number of schools in SLO County used at least some pesticides on their campuses in 2016 and 2017, from gopher and cockroach baits to a variety of herbicides. Several districts, including Paso Robles Joint Unified School District and Atascadero Unified School District, used Roundup at nearly every school site.

Neither of those districts could be reached for comment before press time. Δ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@santamariasun.com.

‘Above and beyond’ San Luis Coastal launches scholarship fund in honor of late educator Andrea Blanco

F

or nine nights in a row in June, students and former students, young and old, gathered together at Laguna Middle School in San Luis Obispo, lighting candles and sharing stories about a beloved teacher gone too soon.

Andrea Blanco, a giant in SLO’s school community, died on June 12, at age 62, of complications from knee surgery. A teacher in the San Luis Coastal Unified School District (SLCUSD) since 1996, Andrea left behind a legacy of tireless work helping students from all walks of life overcome challenges in the classroom and beyond.

Her sudden passing triggered an outpouring of grief and gratitude that was commensurate to the impact she had on her students.

“Watching all of the kids respond, the things they were saying, was pretty amazing,” said Rick Mayfield, a SLCUSD administrator who attended the vigils.

“She was like a mother figure to so many of those kids—somebody they could really connect with, listen to, and go to.”

Blanco, who spent the bulk of her SLCUSD career at Laguna Middle School, was an especially beloved figure in

the Latino community. There, she wasn’t just a teacher, but a mentor, an ally, an advocate, a networker, and a problem solver for students and families.

“She totally went above and beyond,” Mayfield said. “She’d talk to them on evenings and on the weekend. She’d help them with whatever it was—a transportation issue, clothes or food, a translation, taking them to appointments, or helping them get legal assistance.”

To honor and continue her work, the SLCUSD’s Educational Foundation recently established the Andrea Blanco Legacy Fund, a scholarship program that will benefit local Latino youth and their pursuit of higher education. The idea for the fund came in the wake of the powerful vigils.

“It’s really touching, unexpected, and very moving,” Jose Arturo Blanco, Andrea’s husband, told New Times. “I can see the void that she left already.”

Andrea’s work in SLCUSD started in the ’90s as an after-school teacher at Bishop’s Peak Elementary. It was there she became acquainted with the complex issues that many Central Coast students, especially of Latino backgrounds, face in their lives.

“This was an after-school program to help the kids who needed it,” Jose Arturo said. “It was mostly reading, but it was more than that. She found out soon that the needs weren’t only just [at school], but also what was around their environment.”

In a wealthy, mostly white school district like SLCUSD, families’ struggles with poverty and other barriers can often go unnoticed or misunderstood.

Andrea established herself as someone who students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds could trust and talk to.

“It’s hidden here,” Jose Arturo said.

“Sometimes you don’t see it. People would feel comfortable with her and start sharing their issues.”

Andrea’s quiet and unassuming demeanor helped students feel safe with her, Mayfield said.

“She was a very quiet person, very determined and forceful, but very quiet and very much not in your face. And she’d reach out to these kids in a quiet way,” Mayfield said. “Sometimes— especially in a town like SLO, which is very Anglo, super English dominant, and not culturally diverse—kids have trouble connecting with their school. And so she was, for a lot of those kids, that connection.”

Andrea possessed the unique ability

to not just want to help and support students, but to deliver it. That was something she trained for. When she was in law school in San Francisco, Andrea frequently visited undocumented field workers to help connect them with legal services. One of her gifts, her family said, was to navigate tough situations with skill, grace, and compassion.

“She was a helper,” her daughter, Cristina, said.

These abilities proved essential to her work at SLCUSD. As her career progressed to Laguna Middle School, where she led the English Learning Advisory Committee and After-School Program, Andrea’s network of students, families, professionals, and service providers expanded. If a student or family needed something or was in a crisis, Andrea knew somebody she could call on.

“She had connections throughout the community at all sorts of different levels,” Mayfield said. “There are a lot of people and organizations in our community that are willing and eager to help, and it’s making those connections sometimes that can be one of the most important steps.”

STUDENT DISCOUNTS ON FILM & SUPPLIES

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?

Calling the shots Statewide immunization policies increase the number of local students receiving vaccinations

S

ince legislation passed in 2015 eliminating the ability to claim a personal belief for exemption from immunizations, the number of San Luis Obispo County students who start school with the required amount of vaccinations has increased. Now, another bill is in the works that could change the way parents or guardians can request a medical exemption from vaccinating their child.

According to the 2018 Community Health Assessment developed by the County of SLO Public Health Department, from 2016 to 2017 the number of students starting child care with all required immunizations increased from 88 percent to 93 percent. The number of students starting kindergarten with all required immunizations increased from approximately 90 percent to 96 percent.

The percentages are higher than the Healthy People 2020 goal of 80 percent created by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, and the same as the California average of about 96 percent.

The health assessment attributes the increase to Senate Bill 277 (signed into law in 2015), which eliminated the

11TH ANNUAL

personal belief exemption. That exemption was a provision in the state law that allowed guardians to exempt their child from the school vaccination requirements if getting such vaccines contradicted parental religious or spiritual beliefs.

The current law requires every student taught in a classroom or enrolled in child care to be fully immunized against 10 diseases: hepatitis B, measles, mumps, diphtheria, rubella, tetanus, chickenpox, whooping cough, haemophilus influenzae Type B, and polio. California is the third state, following Mississippi and West Virginia, to get rid of the exemption.

While there was an overall increase in immunizations statewide, according to a 2018 study by the American Academy Pediatrics, there was also an increase in the number of medical exemptions claimed by guardians.

Currently, a medical exemption—a written statement that’s signed by a licensed physician—must state that the physical condition or medical circumstance of the child won’t allow for the immunization, which vaccines are exempted, whether it’s a temporary or permanent medical exemption, and the expiration date.

The study looked at a number of the medical exemptions filed, viewing some as problematic, such as when the reason listed for the exemption was a family history of allergies or of autoimmune disorders. Neither is accepted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

Medical exemptions that the CDC does

There were also reports of physicians advertising medical exemptions online for a fee, according to the study.

It is believed, the study stated, that vaccine-hesitant parents could use medical exemptions instead of personal belief exemptions.

According to the SLO County Public Health Department, immunizations matter because they are a cost effective measure to protect children and adults from a number of infectious diseases.

“These diseases can result in extended work or school absences, hospitalizations, and even death,” the 2018 Community Health Assessment states.

The CDC states that between 96 to 99 percent of children need to be immunized to establish community immunity. Community immunity, also known as herd immunity, is a belief that if a certain percentage of people are vaccinated from a disease, everyone in the community will be safe from the illness. In theory, it protects children who are too young to receive a vaccine, those with compromised immune systems, or others who have

THE CDC STATES THAT BETWEEN 96 TO 99 PERCENT OF CHILDREN NEED TO BE IMMUNIZED TO ESTABLISH COMMUNITY IMMUNITY accept include contraindications—when a recipient has conditions that increase the risk for a serious adverse reaction—and precautions—conditions under which vaccines should not be administered.

For example, a vaccine shouldn’t be administered to a person who has a severe immune deficiency.

In order to ensure that vaccination rates remain high and parents are accurately obtaining medical exemptions, the Assembly Health Committee passed Senate Bill 276 on June 20.

Arts as a necessity The SLO County Office of Education collaborates with nonprofits to bring more art into local schools

professionals in the arts industry didn’t really have to consider education as part of the creative process—they could just create. But as technology and communication have changed, Alhadeff said it seems like there are fewer and fewer opportunities for families to get together in large situations to share experiences such as attending a play. Leisure time is spent more in solitude than it used to be, and the arts are having a harder time capturing the attention of children.

“We’re losing connection to part of what makes the human experience so special,” Alhadeff said. “Children should have the right to choose and be involved in those opportunities as opposed to being segregated into those communities that can afford it.”

To give children that opportunity, OperaSLO participates in the San Luis Obispo County Office of Education Arts Collaborative, a program that county Superintendent OperaSLO’s upcoming performance of South Pacific on Oct. 12 and 13 will Dr. James Brescia started feature kids from the community working alongside nationally acclaimed three years ago with the Broadway stars, according to OperaSLO General and Artistic Director Brian Asher Alhadeff.

That’s a mantra Opera San Luis Obispo General and Artistic Director Brian Asher Alhadeff believes in.

“Right up there with water and clean air, but that’s me as an artist speaking,” Alhadeff said. “Kids deserve the right, the opportunity to experience the beauty of what it means to be a human being.”

Part of that beauty is wrapped up in expression, which is a major part of what the arts are all about—understanding how to express oneself and how to empathize with others who are expressing themselves. As arts education has become less of a priority in schools, below things like science and technology, Alhadeff said nonprofit arts organizations such as OperaSLO have started steering part of their mission toward education.

more likely to want to help people who are treated poorly, according to researchers.

“There are strong reasons to suspect that engagement in arts education can improve school climate, empower students with a sense of purpose and ownership, and enhance mutual respect for their teachers and peers,” researchers wrote in a blog post about the study on the Brookings Institution’s webpage.

“Because schools play a pivotal role in cultivating the next generation of citizens and leaders, it is imperative that we reflect on the fundamental purpose of a well-rounded education. This mission is critical in a time of heightened intolerance and pressing threats to our core democratic values.” Δ

pressure has really been to focus on what people see as pure academics, and the arts was seen as more of an enrichment or side activity,” Brescia said. “Where I have always believed that education should have a humanities-based [component].”

He points to a 2019 study completed in partnership with the Houston Education Research Consortium that looked at how an influx of money for arts education in certain Houston-area schools affected students. The study found that students in schools that received more arts funding experienced a 3.6 percent reduction in disciplinary infractions. Students who received more arts education were also more engaged in their education, more interested in how other people feel, and 2018-11-01_NT_Davenport-ad_mech.pdf

have any material. I was at the time trying to put a band together with the drummer who had played on most of his hits, a guy by the name of Gary Mallaber.

He and I had been in a recording band for a couple years and had made a couple records with another guy, and we became songwriting partners.

“We hooked up with another bandmate named John Massaro, and we started writing songs, and we had about eight songs mixed and ready to start shopping, and right around that time, Steve [Miller] called Gary and asked him if he had any material because he knew Gary wrote,”

he said. “Gary told him we had this project going, and he came in after the call and asked me and John if we wanted to submit the demos for consideration for Steve to maybe pick a song or two, but he ended up taking everything.”

Those songs turned into 1982’s Abracadabra, which had platinum sales in the U.S. and Canada, charted in nine countries (including reaching No. 1 in Germany), and generated the singles “Keeps Me Wondering Why” and “Cool Magic,” written by Lewis and Mallaber, as well as “Give It Up” and “Abracadabra,” written by Miller.

Lewis left the band from ’87 until 1993 while Miller tried a largely unsuccessful foray into jazz, but he reunited with the band as their Greatest Hits album began to find new audiences.

“His Greatest Hits came out on this new format that was called ‘compact discs’ in those days,” Lewis said with great exaggeration, “which of course were CDs, and it was selling like hot cakes to younger people—college kids and fraternity parties were having Steve Miller nights. All of a sudden, there was a new generation of listeners to his stuff.”

Lewis jokes that the way he describes their shows is “we’re kind of like a tribute act but we have a lead singer whose name is Steve Miller who sings the songs.

We pretty much just honor the catalog because that’s what people want. In the middle of the show we do some blues, and now we have Marty [Stuart and his band] sitting in with us, so we kind of do an Americana jam with some of Steve’s songs that cross over to country, but the beginning of the show is hits and the end of the show is hits.”

There you have it, folks. If you want to hear a whole mess of Steve Miller Band hits, listen to some of their blues and maybe a few more obscure Americana tracks, and witness them jam with opening act Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives, get your tickets now for what’s being billed as “An Amazing Evening of Original American Music— Classic Rock Meets Classic Country.”

Also this week at Vina Robles Amphitheatre, see folk-rockers The Avett Brothers with genre-jumping special guests Lake Street Dive on Sunday, Aug. 18 (8 p.m.; all ages; $55 to $75 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com).

HEY JEALOUSY Classic ’90s jangle-pop act Gin Blossoms play their New Miserable Experience Live show on Aug. 17, in the Fremont Theater.

STARKEY from page 37

Hello, ’90s!

First of all, don’t forget reggae heroes The Original Wailers play the Fremont Theater this Thursday, Aug. 15 (doors at 7 p.m.; all ages; $24.96 at Boo Boo’s and fremontslo.com). The band features former Bob Marley guitarist Al Anderson, who toured with Marley from 1975 through 1980.

I was a Cal Poly Radio DJ on KCPR 91.3 FM when the jangle-pop act Gin Blossoms started lighting up Arizona, but we didn’t really hear about them on the West Coast until the 1992 release of New Miserable Experience, their major label debut that generated the radio hit “Hey Jealousy.” The band’s 1996 followup, Congratulations I’m Sorry, sold like mad, and its single “As Long As It Matters” garnered a Grammy Award nomination. Then the band broke up.

Four years later, they reconvened and have recorded three more albums, none PHOTO COURTESY OF SEAN WATKINS

of which generated the acclaim of their early successes, but they still put on a great show and have a lot of cool songs!

See them when they play their New Miserable Experience Live show with opener Absolute Zero on Saturday, Aug. 17 (doors at 7 p.m.; all ages; $40.80 at Boo Boo’s and fremontslo.com).

No Bridges for you!

If you didn’t get tickets to Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents’ two Jeff Bridges shows this Friday, Aug. 16, at Presqu’ile Winery, and Saturday, Aug. 17, at Treana, you’re too late. They’re both sold out.

However, two-tone ska act The English Beat plays Presqu’ile Winery on Saturday, Aug. 17 (doors at 6 p.m.; all ages; $25 at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com). They have so many great songs: “Tears of a Clown,” “Ranking Full Stop,” “Mirror in the Bathroom,” “I Confess,” “Save It for Later,” and tons more!

Good Medicine and Firestone’s 805 present raw country talent Gethen Jenkins at Sweet Springs Saloon on

Sunday, Aug. 18 (7:30 p.m.; 21-andolder; $13 presale at Boo Boo’s and eventbrite.com or $15 at the door), with Charlie McNeal opening. Gethen has an emotive baritone voice and driving honky-tonk sounds.

Former Nickel Creek member Sean Watkins & The Bee Eaters play The Siren on Sunday, Aug. 18 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $20 presale at Boo Boo’s and eventbrite.com or $25 at the door).

Watkins started recording solo albums in 2001, but he really broke through in 2014 with All I Do is Lie, which he followed up with What to Fear in 2016.

Numbskull and Good Medicine are also bringing Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore with The Guilty Ones back to The Siren next Thursday, Aug. 22 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $22 presale at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com). These two are great together! Amazing guitarist Taylor Scott and his band will open the show with some funk, soul, rock, and R&B. STARKEY continued page 43

Right now, tickets Aug. 9. to Greater Tuna can be purchased as part of the Set in the small theatre’s season package fictional town of (which includes six shows) Tuna, Texas—“where for just $185. the Lions Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies”—the 1981 comedic play by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard simultaneously manages to make tender and searing commentary on Southern small-town life. Greater Tuna is the first in a series of four comedic plays (followed by A Tuna Christmas; Red, White and Tuna; and Tuna Does Vegas), each set in fictional Tuna—the “third-smallest” town in the state—with Greater Tuna being thought of as the darkest in tone of the four.

son, Jody (Salsbury), has eight to 10 dogs following him at all times, but she strongly suspects Petey Fisk (Salsbury), the hapless face of the local humane society, is to blame.

The morose Fisk has his own problems, with more cats than he can count, a herd of dogs, a snake, and the constantly un-adoptable dog, Yippy, that he just can’t bring himself to put down.

Meanwhile, an accidental dog killing brings Bertha’s sister (Breed) and her oldest no-good son, Stanley (Salsbury), together while an actual human death connects almost all the storylines in chilling, albeit hilarious ways.

Salsbury and Breed also face off as a journalist and concerned mom, respectively— one looking to ban books from the local schools, and the other looking to get to a juicy story in a ho-hum tumbleweed town.

Whether Breed and Salsbury are playing men, women, children, or the elderly, each member of the dynamic duo plays off the other in a way that feels real, authentic, and earned.

You just want young Jody to have all the puppies he wants, and at the same time, you empathize with his mother’s concern, even if her stance on certain words in the dictionary is suspect.

Beyond the campy humor and redneck hillbilly jokes, Greater Tuna gets at something deeper: that we’re all just trying to find our way to or from the weird place we call home. ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley was born and raised in the small town of Paso Robles.

usbands and wives. Brothers and sisters. Sons and fathers. Moms and daughters. Man and dog. Love is the common theme connecting them all.

“There are many forms of love,” Atascadero artist Nathan Doster said.

“There is the love between family members, presumably between spouses, of parents, of grandparents, as well as for and from the child.”

Doster’s art, along with works from other members of the Paso Robles Art Association, is currently on display at Studios on the Park as part of the Love show.

Doster’s piece, Extended Family and Child, is a fused glass piece made of delicate bowls that each represent different family members, each a vessel of its own unique experiences.

“The piece speaks to many forms of love, all of which are important,” Doster said. “Between the larger forms are smaller ones, representing the flow of respect, love, and wisdom passed between

ndrea Berloff directs this film based on the comic book series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle about the wives (Elisabeth Moss, Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish) of 1970s Hell’s Kitchen gangsters who continue to run their husbands’ rackets after the men go to prison. (102 min.)

Kitchen. The characters themselves are little more than predictable archetypes— the meek and battered wife who discovers an aptitude for cutting up bodies, the good Irish mother just looking to feed and clothe her family, and the sassy loudmouth who doesn’t mind stepping over people to come out ahead. None of it is particularly interesting. Even with three adept actresses in the spotlight, the script does little to establish any sort of “why” beyond being strapped for cash, while also trying to make an effective storyline about their empowerment and rise to the top of their husbands’ organization. The scenes feel lengthy.

Instead of interaction, there seems to be a round-robin approach to the dialogue—it’s one person’s turn to speak, then the next, then the next. Frankly, I can’t believe The Kitchen has an audience score as high as it does. There’s no denying that this cast could be a lot of fun on screen. The talent’s there, it’s just woefully underused.

Glen So much of the story doesn’t ring true. The shopkeepers in their neighborhood are happy to pay extortion money as long as they “get” something for it? Really? And these shopkeepers are just going to start paying the women instead of the male Irish mobsters who come to

Glen What a shocking waste of acting talent this film is! Not only are the three leads wasted, but there are so many supporting character actors being squandered in support of weak writing and tepid direction. As we meet the women and their husbands, it’s pretty clear what sort of relationships they have.

Kathy Brennan (McCarthy) seems to have the healthiest relationship with her husband, Jimmy (Brian d’Arcy James), in stark contrasted to Claire Walsh’s (Moss) physically abusive husband, Rob (Jeremy Bobb). Then there’s African-American Ruby O’Carroll (Haddish), married to Irish mob chief Kevin (James Badge Dale), who seems to take orders from his overbearing mother, Helen (Margo Martindale), who doesn’t approve of her black daughter-in-law. These are all very competent actors and yet their characters never feel fully formed—everything is all surface and no depth. When their husbands are arrested in a strong-arm robbery, up the river they go, leaving the remaining Irish mob members to “take care of” the wives. Unfortunately, the envelopes of cash they receive won’t even cover their rent, so they have to take matters into their own hands and start running the neighborhood protection rackets. This is the beginning of the contrived and poorly executed start of the plot that becomes more unbelievable as it continues. So much of the story doesn’t make sense or simply defies logic. I wanted to like this film, but it just falls flat. Last year’s Widows took a similar idea and handled it much more successfully.

WOMEN IN CHARGE In 1970s New York, three gangsters’ wives—(left to right) Claire (Elizabeth Moss), Ruby (Tiffany Haddish), and Kathy (Melissa McCarthy)—decide to continue running their husbands’ Hell’s Kitchen rackets after the men are imprisoned.

collect? We’re meant to sympathize with these women, but aside from McCarthy’s Kathy, they turn murderous too quickly and easily, and it’s hard too maintain sympathy for murderers. The bottom line is they become just as rotten as their husbands. The big difference is they’re more competent criminals than the men.

Of course, crime is a competitive business, and the women soon have to contend with Brooklyn’s Italian mob, headed by Alfonso Coretti (Bill Camp)—so there’s that side plot; another side plot about FBI Agent Gary Silvers (Common), who put their husbands away and is now onto them; and yet another side plot about Kathy’s relationship with her union worker father, Larry (Wayne Duvall), who disapproves of her daughter’s husband and her entry into crime … until he suddenly isn’t anymore.

The story’s a mess, and it has an impending twist and following resolution that are each so preposterous that I almost blinded myself rolling my eyes. My favorite character was Gabriel O’Malley (Domhnall Gleeson), a former Irish mob enforcer who takes up with Moss’ Claire.

He teaches her how to stop being a victim.

This could have been an entertaining feminist tale of taking control, but instead it’s an unbelievable, convoluted tale of corruption. It’s maddening to see all that talent on screen running in circles and going nowhere.

Anna Reality is pretty much lost here, and while it’s the sort of story that is good in theory, this practice of it is frustratingly banal. Decisions seemingly were made to wrap up loose ends of the storyline, but they don’t make any sense or are so underdeveloped it’s cringeworthy. McCarthy is a hilarious actress, but her character isn’t allowed even a little bit of humor. Moss is given a bit more to do with her redemption and growth out of the battered wives club and into badassery. Even so, it’s far from interesting and predictable in every way.

The Kitchen takes itself way too seriously without the storyline or script to back it up. You mentioned Widows, which is a much better version of this story, plus the characters actually gave us something to care about. Not every film can be a winner, and that is evident here—The Kitchen suffers from too many fatal flaws to stop it from circling the drain. Summer can be a rough season for movies, but you’re better off skipping this one and saving your movie money for some big, bold summer blockbuster hit. This, quite frankly, is hardly worth the time spent watching it, let alone any actual money on a ticket or rental. ∆ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

BAIT Four teenage girls—(left to right) Brianne Tju, Sophie Nélisse, Sistine Stallone, and Corinne Foxx—dive to an underwater city but soon learn they’re not alone, in the shark horror film 47 Meters Down: Uncaged.

SAVE THEM! When her parents Elena (Eva Longoria, left) and Cole (Michael Peña, right) disappear, Dora (Isabela Moner, center) leads her friends on a search for them, in Dora and the Lost City of Gold. days of her life. This story is presented in such a no-nonsense way that it sucks the audience right into the thick of the family’s toughest deception.

Billi is your average independent struggling young woman living in New York with a tight family bond. She’s always visiting her parents, who live in the same state, and calling her Nai Nai (grandmother) who lives in China.

But Nai Nai’s recent doctor visit leads to a diagnosis of terminal cancer, and Nai Nai’s sister, Little Nai Nai, simply tells her she’s completely fine. It’s a lie that is culturally the norm in China; if a family member is nearing death, the family protects them by not telling them.

It’s an idea that Billi finds very troubling as she questions whether her family is doing the right thing. In the States, it’s against the law to keep medical information from the patient, but those rules don’t apply in China.

The entire family stages an impromptu

wedding in order to be together to see Nai Nai one last time. Billi is discouraged from attending the event because her family believes she will not be able to hide the truth from Nai Nai, but she makes the trip anyway.

The minute Billi gets off the plane, into a car, and arrives on the doorstep of her grandmother’s apartment, the audience grapples with the emotions of saying “goodbye” to Nai Nai without saying it.

It’s difficult to watch the sorrowful family keep Nai Nai in the dark, and it’s also amusing because the family matriarch is just as witty as ever. The illness she doesn’t know about hasn’t slowed her down for a second as she orders her grandson’s fiancee around, argues with the banquet chef over the ceremony menu, and jokes with Billi.

Wang delicately explores the cultural differences of a family that’s coming together after several years of moving away from their home country minus any outlandish clichés.

She masterfully walks the line on all sides

without judgment or declaration of which viewpoint is right or wrong.

Overall, Wang has given us a heartfelt story about death that’s funny and sorrowful at the same time. It even goes as far as leaving the audience questioning what they would do in the same situation.

Aside from Wang’s personal attachment to the story, the movie was filmed in her grandmother’s neighborhood in China, and she was also able to cast her own greataunt as Little Nai Nai. The imminent farewell is difficult but through the laughter and tears, it’s worth the watch and will even have you calling your grandmother. (98 min.)

With every challenge in the water and objection of being told “girls” can’t win, let alone make it through the first stretch of the race, the audience is with the women in their triumph.

While this is about the females that made the Maiden (their boat) famous and their successes and losses in the water, it also highlighted the blatant misogyny they faced daily. It was maddening but not surprising that the men on other teams doubted the Maiden crew, with the journalists even taking digs at them. It’s funny how the newscasters forgot how to do their job and basically asked the Maiden women different and dumbed-down questions.

Overall, it was amazing to ride the waves with these kick-ass women as they challenged the status quo. (97 min.)

Using a trove of archival CBS footage, director Avi Belkin delivers an intimate, arresting, and thought-provoking look at the life and career of late 60 Minutes broadcaster Mike Wallace.

The renowned TV journalist, who died in 2012 at 93, lived through the birth and evolution of the medium. In Wallace’s up-and-down path to becoming a household name, he established a reputation for asking tough questions to powerful people. The documentary, which aired at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, weaves on-air and behind-the-scenes clips from interviews with political and cultural icons, from Martin Luther King Jr., to Vladimir Putin, to Barbara Streisand, to Donald Trump.

Belkin’s film, as a result, is not just a journey through Wallace’s life, but through TV news and world history. Through Wallace, we’re shown how TV evolved to become integral to the American media landscape and shape world events. And we’re shown how that evolution came in many ways on Wallace’s shoulders.

Whether it was the Vietnam War, the Iran hostage crisis, or the reckoning of the cigarette/ tobacco industry, Wallace was right in the thick of it, posing blunt questions to important people for all to witness.

Wallace and his legacy certainly aren’t without flaws and problematic aspects—and Belkin doesn’t shy away from those. The film explores Wallace’s struggles with self-esteem, depression, fatherhood, and journalistic ethics.

It opens with an interview with abrasive former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, who chillingly responds to Wallace’s questioning if he’s a real journalist by saying: “I’m your son! You’re the driving force behind my career.”

The moment sets a tone from the start that the documentary must be viewed as a reflection on the state of journalism—where we are, where we came from, and how we got here—as much as a profile of one iconic broadcaster. (90 min.)

ONCE UPON A TIME …

IN HOLLYWOOD

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Bay, Downtown Centre, Fair Oaks, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Writer-director Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight) helms this story set in 1969 Hollywood about fading TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) as they struggle to remain relevant in the changing entertainment industry. Tarantino’s ninth film features an ensemble cast and multiple storylines.

Tarantino takes us on an entertaining albeit meandering ride through 1969 Hollywood, where he’s mixed real life characters like Charlie Manson (Damon Herriman) and his “family,” rising starlet Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) and her director husband Roman Polanski (Rafal Zawierucher), martial arts star Bruce Lee (Mike Moh), and actor Steve McQueen (Damian Lewis), with fictional ones like our protagonists Rick and Cliff.

Some of the facts of the film are true, for instance that the Manson family lived on George Spahn’s (Bruce Dern) Spahn Movie Ranch, but like Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino’s got some historical revisions in mind.

Knowing the real history behind the Manson murders sets up viewers for the twists and turns to come, and even at two hours and 41 minutes, the film doesn’t feel slow; however, it also doesn’t seem like it’s in much of a rush to reach its conclusion. Instead, this is a film to be savored for its attention to detail and remarkable performances.

The film’s mise-en-scène is incredible.

Tarantino had vintage Hollywood marquees and landmarks restored to their 1969 glory or made use of landmarks that have changed little, such

as Musso & Frank Grill and the Playboy Mansion and its famed grotto. The costumes are also amazing; from the Manson family’s hippy garb to Rick’s swank mock turtlenecks to unctuous Hollywood mover and shaker Marvin Schwarzs’ (Al Pacino) double-breasted power suit. Some enterprising entrepreneur should start silk screening Champion Spark Plug T-shirts like the one Cliff’s wearing. They’ll make a mint! And the cars! Holy moly! You’ll feel transported to the era.

As for the acting, Pitt’s fantastic here, taking on a speech pattern that’s as memorable as the one he used as Lt. Aldo Raine in Inglourious Basterds. Cliff is the character most comfortable in his own skin. The laconic stuntman is perfectly happy being Rick’s gopher, and he’s the biggest badass in Hollywood, though he keeps it low key.

DiCaprio has a more complex job to do playing an actor who we see acting. That’s some metalevel work. Rick’s confidence is waning, and his interactions with Schwarzs and a child actor (not “actress,” which she finds demeaning) named Trudi (a truly remarkable Julia Butters) are highlights of a highlights-filled film. Trudi’s character also offers Tarantino a chance to comment on Method Acting. She’s so much more together and mature than Rick, and that’s hilarious. Tarantino lets his actors shine bright.

There’s so much more I could discuss here, like Tarantino’s obvious foot fetish, how he characterizes Sharon Tate and whether he’s guilty of using her as mere window dressing, how he simultaneously romanticizes and tears down his heroes like Bruce Lee. Tarantino has repeatedly said he wants to make the kinds of films he wants to watch.

Choosing to examine the societal disruption caused by the rise of the counterculture manifested in the extreme as Manson’s family, using Spaghetti Westerns and B-movies as a backdrop, exploring masculinity and misogyny through Rick and Cliff’s friendship—it’s all very ambitious, and the film bears repeated viewings. It’s classic excessive Tarantino, so if

you like his filmmaking, you’ll love this. I did.

SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 André Øvredal (Trollhunter, The Autopsy of Jane Doe) and Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water) join forces to bring everyone’s favorite trilogy of haunting children’s books to the big screen for a new generation.

Everyone knows the basic rules of avoiding an unfortunate fate with the supernatural: Don’t go into the abandoned house where a long-dead family supposedly held their daughter hostage in a dark dungeon. Nope. Don’t steal that book that’s allegedly written in children’s blood by said daughter who was kept in said dungeon. Do not, for the love of God, split up to search for the medical records of said dungeon daughter in the clearly haunted insane asylum she was forced into so many years ago.

Everyone knows the rules, and yet time after time, curious teens in horror movies mock the rules and then break them, and then face the inevitable consequences.

That’s pretty much the extent of what you need to know about the overarching plot of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark—there’s a haunted house, an old urban legend, and a group of dangerously curious teens (one kid is funny, of course) who don’t really believe in the power of old Sarah Bellows (Kathleen Pollard) and her passion to kill children from beyond the grave.

What more could you possibly need?

daughter, Sarah, locked in a dark room because she was “off.” There, the teens stumble upon Sarah’s infamous book of scary stories, which according to legend, were written in the blood of the many children she killed using black magic. The teens take the book (big mistake) and soon find that the scary stories written about them will force them to face their biggest and most secret fears. Like, in real life.

Not real thought-provoking. And yet, I had a blast watching.

It was creepy and crawly. The monsters—all based closely on the genuinely disturbing illustrations from the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books—were well crafted and chilling.

There were some big adrenaline-pumping scares, which I always love, and I have to admit I’m a sucker for a good discovering-the-truthbehind-the-old-scary-legend-to-stop-the-ghost sequence.

There’s something to be said for the mediocre, purely entertaining horror movies that act as a gateway for young and budding horror lovers to the really good movies. They’re fun to watch, and they bring more people over to the dark side. And that’s really what the original books aimed to do, too. (111 min.)

Why? Because at the end of the day, this is The last we see of the group on their another bro-y, frat-astic romp about a wild arrival night is them on the roof of Caesar’s bachelor party in Vegas gone wrong. But the Palace, making toasts and taking shots of truth and irony is, this is exactly what also Jagermeister. Flash forward to the next makes The Hangover an enjoyable success morning, and they’e waking up in a $4,200/ story: screenwriters Jon Lucas and Scott night villa with a live PHOTO COURTESY OF NETFLIX tiger, a chicken, a baby, and a missing tooth of Stu’s. Oh, and Doug—the bachelor—is missing.

Nobody can remember anything. The rest of the film is us watching Phil, Stu, and Alan navigate Vegas to try to piece together what the hell happened and find Doug in time for his wedding. The ensuing madness includes a trip to the hospital in a police car, a run-in with the mob, and a Mike Tyson WOLFPACK Alan (Zach Galifianakis), cameo. Needless to say, Phil (Bradley Cooper), and Stu (Ed Helms), our wolfpack, as Alan calls the group, got into left to right, have to piece together what way more trouble than we happened during a wild night of bachelor could’ve ever imagined partying in Vegas, in The Hangover. that night.

PLEASURES Everything enjoyable in The Hangover comes from the cast—which, to me, holds up as one of the best blends of actors in a comedy in recent memory. Galifianakis is shockingly hilarious as Alan, who’s a shameless, inappropriate, and socially unaware—but lovable—loner. His personality, which resembles the character Galifianakis played in his Funny or Die show, Between Two Ferns, is on full display here. It’s no surprise, in retrospect, that this is what catapulted his career in Hollywood. He’s truly awesome and has seamless chemistry with Cooper and Helms, who deliver memorable performances in their own right as friends on two sides of the same coin.

The Hangover was a huge commercial success; it grossed $468 million at the box office, on only a $35 million budget. Of course, financial success comes with an unfortunate dark side: sequels. The Hangover Part II (2011) and III (2013) were terrible movies—so terrible that they somewhat marred the original. Pleasantly, for me, a rewatch had me forgetting those later blunders.

If you haven’t seen any of the series, check out the first and don’t go on. If Vegas bachelor party mayhem isn’t your thing (and I totally get it), you should skip The Hangover. It won’t change your mind on the genre. But if you enjoy Galifianakis and some crude comedy, be prepared for some the best that niche can offer. (108 mins.) Δ —Peter Johnson

Treasured tradition Central Coast Shakespeare Festival stages an evening of family-friendly summer fun

I

t’s a little after 6:30 on a warm August evening. We’re pulling into the parking lot on a hill above the Filipponi Ranch property, and we’re being warned to watch out for pirates.

“They’re everywhere,” says the parking attendant.

We drive forward, looking for both the next volunteer directing traffic and for the scurvy sea dogs reputed to be roaming these here parts.

“Is that a pirate?” my younger daughter asks from the back seat.

“No, that’s the parking guy,” I mutter.

After we safely dock our luxury land yacht (my family’s nickname for our minivan), we unload our picnic basket, bags of blankets and coats, and our folding chairs. Keeping a sharp eye out, we walk down the path to the stage and seating area. There’s nary a pirate in sight, but we know better than to fully let our guard down.

We hand in our tickets to the landlubbing volunteers and move to the far side of the seating area, the same place we sat last summer. This is the fourth year we’ve come to the Central Coast Shakespeare Festival’s outdoor venue at the Filipponi winery property— an idyllic little valley surrounded by oak trees. We’re here to see pirates, of course, in Treasure Island.

It’s closing night of the Shakespeare fest, so we missed the offering by the bard, which was Twelfth Night. But it’s impossible to go wrong with this summertime troupe of actors, who come to SLO from near and far to perform on the weekends between mid July and early August. My daughters still talk about Much Ado About Nothing and The Importance of Being Earnest from summers past.

We’re now sitting down, unpacking our dinner of tortellini with pesto, and checking the length of the line at the beverage stand. There are several Filipponi wines by the bottle or glass available, and my husband buys us a 2017 mourvedre. The sun’s just beginning to descend, lengthening the shadows over the stage, where fishing nets strung along the walls remind us we’re about to set sail.

I’m happily enjoying my first sips of the wine when we hear a commotion near the front of the stage. A pirate!

He’s wandering the audience, apparently asking for handouts. One of his shipmates begins working the other side of the audience—it looks like he’s scored some empty cups ... and a cellphone? Who would give a pirate their iPhone?

The swarthy fellow comes closer to our seats and is mollified by a man a couple of rows up who offers a tub of broccoli salad to the hungry pirate. He’s thrilled and dashes over to his compatriot. We strain to see what they’re doing with their loot, and we can just make out a treasure chest yonder. In go the cups, the iPhone, and the rejected side dish. Huh.

STOWAWAYS My two daughters make themselves at home with their folding chairs and picnic dinner as we wait for the play to begin.

@getoutslo

TREACHERY Long John Silver (center, in the iconic red coat) convinces Young Jim Hawkins (far left) to trust him, gaining passage to Treasure Island aboard the Hispaniola.

Plan ahead THANKS, MATEY! Before the Shakespeare Festival’s Treasure Island begins, a swarthy pirate wanders the audience looking for loot.

The two pirates wander away as a few of their fellow buccaneers start taking the stage. We’re delighted from the get-go by playwright Phil Willmott’s take on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic—not only is there a passel of lady pirates, but the show is laugh-out-loud funny, featuring a handful of silly sea chanteys and rowdy dance numbers.

Before setting sail, our hero, young Jim Hawkins, uncovers the famed treasure map in a chest belonging to a recently deceased patron of his family’s inn. He and two future shipmates marvel at the chest’s other contents: the ill-gotten broccoli salad, empty cups, and iPhone.

We laugh as we see that Hawkins is savvy enough to know how to take a selfie with the anachronistic treasure.

We sit back and prepare to sail the seven seas aboard the Hispaniola with not only the infamous Long John Silver but with Sadie the Goat, a gregarious character

based on a real 19th century female pirate. Thanks to their strength, tenacity, and spirit, the sea wenches win a tug-of-war match against the disparaging and skeptical sea dogs— earning the seafaring ladies a spot aboard the treasure-hunting ship.

By the end of the play, we’re cheering as our hero lives to tell the tale of cheese-loving marooned Ben Gunn, the enterprising and fearless Lady Trelawney, and the upright (and uptight) Capt. Smollett. My daughters have been talking about the play ever since, and I have no doubt they’ll be keeping an eye out for pirates as we look forward to next year’s Shakespeare Festival offerings. Δ Associate Editor Andrea Rooks is sure she’d be a very seasick pirate.

Tin Canteen features homemade pasta and Napoli-inspired pizzas among its casual, tasty, and wholesome Italian meals

A

On one of the restaurant’s walls is painted the definition of “canteen,” with synonyms that include “mess hall” and “cafeteria.” In other words: Sit back and relax. No one will be miffed if you arrive in Tin trattoria flip-flops.

Established in October 2018, Tin Canteen is a casual Italian There are gastropub inspired by the best no cloths on seasonal, local ingredients.

Tin Canteen’s Starters, pizzas, pastas, and tables, which sandwiches are featured on this we’d spill our frequently changing menu. Tin tomato sauce Canteen is located in Tin City, next door to Etto Pastaficio and on anyway, Field Recordings Wines at 3070 and the Limestone Way, Paso Robles. restaurant Hours are 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., features a Wednesday through Sunday. delightful open Call (805) 369-2787 for more information. kitchen and a window into the Etto pasta shop, where you can see the pasta being made before it ends up on your plate.

The patio next to a soothing zen waterfall holds several tables, but we chose a spot in the restaurant because the air conditioning kept it cool. It was Friday night, full of diners, and we got there early enough to not have to wait for a table. On some of the busier times, the kitchen is known to bring out pizza for those waiting along the wall or at the bar.

The wait staff moved around quickly. Our server, Morgan, gave us the skinny on the menu: The food is inspired by the best seasonal, local ingredients, and there are some Italian gems on the wine list. We asked what her favorite pasta would be, and she said she loves the casarecce (twisty noodle) Bolognese with the Wagyu beef ragu.

At Tin Canteen, they also use tender, marbled Wagyu—from Snake River Farm in Boise, Idaho—in their meatballs, which they serve with tomato sauce, garlic toast, and Parmigiano, and for the flat iron steak frites with a red wine reduction and garlic fries.

Other simple, scrumptious menu items include starters like grilled octopus, bruscetta, and the ever-popular fish INDUSTRIAL SLICK It’s a no-reservations type of place. and chips; sandwiches The only restaurant in Tin City, Tin Canteen offers an exciting that range from lamb alternative to the typical Tin City food truck fare.

fter having to pass up the chance to be in Tuscany, Italy, for my cousin Tricia’s destination wedding this month, my husband and I decided to do the next best thing. We visited a whole new country pretty close to home: Tin Canteen, the new Little Italy in Tin City, next to Etto Pastificio I knew it was going to be phenomenal because I’m already in Etto’s pasta fan club. I bought Tricia a wedding gift of a year’s supply of Etto ravioli.

Unfortunately, it never made it out of my kitchen.

Tin Canteen, which opened in October last year, is styled like an Italian trattoria, featuring modest regional ingredients, family-style portions, and smart, efficient, casual service.

“It’s been great,” said General Manager Bill Haley. “It’s a great location. We get a lot of destination people coming to Tin City and they choose to dine with us most of the time, which we appreciate.”

The restaurant—industrial chic and effortlessly hip—is a partnership between Etto Pastaficio and Giornata Winery owners Brian and Stephanie Terrizzi and SLO County restaurateur Bill Hales. Danelle Jarzynski, who started as sous chef at Tin Canteen (as well as sous chef at Daou Vineyards and Winery) will be transitioning into the executive chef position in mid August.

DEAR OLD NAPOLI This is the pizza that gets the Italians excited. Soft, thin, bubbly crust and simple, fresh ingredients. Straight out of the wood-burning oven, this is the BLTE: bacon, roasted tomato, mozzarella,Tuscan pecorino, arugula, egg, and aioli.

burgers to albacore melts; pastas made on-site from Etto with every sauce imaginable; and authentic Italian-style pizzas. All sandwiches can be served with mixed greens, garlic fries, or a vegetable for three extra bucks.

We ordered the kale Caesar with boquerones (anchovies), and the rich fettuccine funghi pasta with crimini mushrooms, butter, and Parmigiano; the BLTE pizza with bacon, roasted tomato, mozzarella, Tuscan pecorino, drizzled with aioli, and topped with egg and arugula.

We also indulged in a couple of beers from Central Coast Brewing: the Nitro Coffee Stout P-Nut Butter Breakdown and the Juice Almighty Hazy IPA. The finely shredded salad with creamy Caesar dressing melted in our mouths, and the anchovies were fresh and lemony, in their prime.

I had no doubt that Brian Terrizzi, who owns Etto and co-owns the Tin Canteen, would be serving up perfect organic noodles for the fettuccine funghi, but the dish was sauced so divinely and the mushrooms were so full of flavor, I couldn’t get over it. The salad and pasta filled us up, so we each had only one slice of pizza and took the rest home.

The pizza was 100 percent Neapolitan style: thin, soft, bubbly crust (with those special charred spots), made with organic Italian flour, fresh tomato sauce, and quality cheese, packed with flavor, and well balanced. Not too much bacon. Not too much cheese. You can’t go to Tin Canteen and not say, “This is exactly what I wished for.”

You can order wines by the glass, by the 500 ml carafe, or 1 liter carafe. Just like in Italy, most of this neighborhood trattoria’s wines are local and good. So just choose red or white, and it comes in a glass carafe. There’s even a part on

FARM-TO-TABLE FARE Walking into the Tin Canteen, you are greeted with the lovely aroma of wood-fired pizzas, rich Wagyu meatballs, herbs, and garlic. Pictured is the kale Caesar with boquerones for the table.

the wine list labeled: “Just try it white, always interesting, always rotating.”

The local wines offered at Tin Canteen include a Giornata aglianico and a Transmission Wines rosé of grenache.

There are also several wines from the Old Country, including an unusual red sparkling Lambrusco. General Manager Haley told me they like to offer local wines for travelers who come to the wine country for Central Coast wine, and they offer imports, too, so that the local wine lovers can have some fun.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: BRANDON LEE NEAL. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by BRANDI BARKER in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo.

The Petition for Probate requests that BRANDI BARKER be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: September 03, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm St. Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

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

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

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 079752-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

(March 21-April 19): How did sound technicians create the signature roar of the fictional monster Godzilla? They slathered pine-tar resin on a leather glove and stroked it against the strings of a double bass. How about the famous howl of the fictional character Tarzan? Sonic artists blended a hyena’s screech played backwards, a dog’s growl, a soprano singer’s fluttered intonation slowed down, and an actor’s yell. Karen O, lead singer of the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, periodically unleashes very long screams that may make the hair stand up on the back of her listeners’ necks.

In accordance with astrological omens, I’d love to see you experiment with creating your own personal Yowl or Laugh or Whisper of Power in the coming weeks: a unique sound that would boost your wild confidence and help give you full access to your primal lust for life.

(April 20-May 20): “If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough,” said Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, ex-president of Liberia. In accordance with astrological imperatives, I propose that we make that your watchword for the foreseeable future. From what I can tell, you’re due to upgrade your long-term goals. You have the courage and vision necessary to dare yourself toward an even more fulfilling destiny than you’ve been willing or ready to imagine up until now.

LegaL Notices

(May 21-June 20): How did our ancestors ever figure out that the calendula flower can be used as healing medicine for irritated and inflamed skin? It must have been a very long process of trial and error. (Or did the plant somehow “communicate” to indigenous herbalists, informing them of its use?) In any case, this curative herb is only one of hundreds of plants that people somehow came to adjudge as having healing properties. “Miraculous” is not too strong a word to describe such discoveries. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Gemini, you now have the patience and perspicacity to engage in a comparable process: to find useful resources through experiment and close observation—with a hardy assist from your intuition.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Today the city of Timbuktu in Mali is poor and in the throes of desertification. But from the 14th to 17th centuries, it was one of the great cultural centers of the world. Its libraries filled up with thousands of influential books, which remained intact until fairly recently. In 2012, Al-Qaeda jihadists conceived a plan to destroy the vast trove of learning and scholarship. One man foiled them.

Abba al-Hadi, an illiterate guard who had worked at one of the libraries, smuggled out many of the books in empty rice sacks. By the time the jihadists started burning, most of the treasure had been relocated. I don’t think the problem in your sphere is anywhere near as dire as this, Cancerian. But I do hope you will be proactive about saving and preserving valuable resources before they’re at risk of being diluted, compromised, or neglected.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Moray eels have two sets of jaws. The front set does their chewing. The second set, normally located behind the first, can be launched forward to snag prey they want to eat. In invoking this aggressive strategy to serve as a metaphor for you in the coming weeks, I want to suggest that you be very dynamic and enterprising as you go after what you want and need. Don’t be rude and invasive, of course, but consider the possibility of being audacious and zealous.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s relatively rare, but now and then people receive money or gifts from donors they don’t know.

Relatives they’ve never met may bequeath them diamond tiaras or alpaca farms or bundles of cash. I don’t think that’s exactly what will occur for you in the coming weeks, but I do suspect that you’ll garner blessings or help from unexpected sources. To help ensure the best possible versions of these

acts of grace, I suggest that you be as generous as possible in the kindness and attention you offer. Remember this verse from the Bible: “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libra-born Ronald McNair was an AfricanAmerican who grew up in a racist town in South Carolina in the 1950s. The bigotry cramped his freedom, but he rebelled. When he was 9 years old, he refused to leave a segregated library, which prompted authorities to summon the police. Years later, McNair earned a PhD in physics from MIT and became renowned for his research on laser physics.

Eventually, NASA chose him to be an astronaut from a pool of 10,000 candidates. That library in South Carolina? It’s now named after him. I suspect that you, too, will soon receive some vindication, Libra: a reward or blessing or consecration that will reconfigure your past.

SCORPIO (Oct. 3-Nov. 21): Scorpio author Zadie Smith wrote, “In the end, your past is not my past and your truth is not my truth and your solution—is not my solution.” I think it will be perfectly fine if sometime soon you speak those words to a person you care about. In delivering such a message, you won’t be angry or dismissive. Rather, you will be establishing good boundaries between you and your ally; you will be acknowledging the fact that the two of you are different people with different approaches to life. And I bet that will ultimately make you closer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Nothing fruitful ever comes when plants are forced to flower in the wrong season,” wrote author and activist Bette Lord. That’s not entirely true. For example, skilled and meticulous gardeners can compel tulip and hyacinth bulbs to flower before they would naturally be able to. But as a metaphor, Lord’s insight is largely accurate. And I think you’ll be wise to keep it in mind during the coming weeks. So my advice is: Don’t try to make people and processes ripen before they are ready. But here’s a caveat: You might have modest success working to render them a bit more ready.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “For though we often need to be restored to the small, concrete, limited, and certain, we as often need to be reminded of the large, vague, unlimited, unknown.”

Poet A. R. Ammons formulated that shiny burst of wisdom, and now I’m passing it on to you. As I think you know, you tend to have more skill at and a greater inclination toward the small, concrete, limited, and certain. That’s why, in my opinion, it’s rejuvenating for you to periodically exult in and explore what’s large, vague, unlimited, unknown. Now is one of those times.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Look into my eyes. Kiss me, and you will see how important I am.” Poet Sylvia Plath wrote that, and now, in accordance with astrological omens, I’m authorizing you to say something similar to anyone who is interested in you but would benefit from gazing more deeply into your soul and entering into a more profound relationship with your mysteries. In other words, you have cosmic permission to be more forthcoming in showing people your beauty and value.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In his Anti-Memoirs, author André Malraux quotes a tough-minded priest who served in the French Resistance during World War II. He spent his adult life hearing his parishioners’ confessions. “The fundamental fact is that there’s no such thing as a grown-up person,” the priest declared. Even if that’s mostly true, Pisces, my sense is that it is less true about you right now than it has ever been. In the past months, you have been doing good work to become more of a fully realized version of yourself.

I expect that the deepening and maturation process is reaching a culmination. Don’t underestimate your success!
