New federal requirements could affect local family planning services

he Trump administration’s Aug. 19 announcement to enforce changes made earlier this year to a federal program that helps fund family planning services for lowincome individuals moved Planned Parenthood to withdraw from the program’s funding. The national announcement about the $286 million Title X Family Planning Program and Planned Parenthood’s exit leaves local recipients of Title X funds in limbo as to when service practices will change. The new rules issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services prohibit the program’s recipients from providing or referring patients for abortions with the exception of cases of rape, incest, or a medical emergency. Locally, the SLO County Public Health Department, Community Action Partnership of SLO County, and Planned Parenthood all receive Title X funding. “I would think that hopefully women would still have other means of finding their way to the care that best suits their particular situations,” SLO County Public Health Officer Penny Borenstein said. The health department differs from Planned Parenthood as it doesn’t provide direct abortion care, but it does refer patients after other options have been discussed, if that is the direction the patient decides on. “With regard to our being in compliance

with the new rules, as they stand today we really haven’t been in the position to make any changes. We’re taking guidance from the recipient of the state level Title X grantee, which is the California WOMEN’S HEALTH The Trump administration’s changes to the Department of Public Title X program could affect the reproductive health services that local Health, so we haven’t agencies provide. made any structural or functional changes at this patients deserve,” Mickelberry said. time,” Borenstein said.

New advocacy group to call for more housing in SLO County

these concerned citizens are unique—they’re self-proclaimed yay-sayers. Their mission? To increase the availability of housing at every level of affordability—through projects built in whoever’s backyard necessary. The pro-development locals are coalescing under the mantra, “Yes, In My Backyard (YIMBY),” a nationwide movement of housing development supporters that’s rising in areas where a plethora of issues have led to unaffordable rents and home costs, and increases in homelessness. Krista Jeffries, a Grover Beach resident, recently started the SLO County YIMBY group in an effort to combat the intense opposition to a homeless housing project proposed at Hillside Church in Grover Beach. With that project held up in court, the YIMBYs plan to tackle several other housing issues in South County, and the group hosted its first public meeting on Aug. 20. “We need tenant protections and awareness,” Jeffries said to the roughly seven attendees at the Aug. 20 meeting, which was held in a Starbucks in Arroyo Grande. The best way to protect tenants from unsafe living conditions, irresponsible landlords, and increasing rent, she said, is to build more housing of all kinds. That’s especially effective if a lot of units are built close together and in areas where schools, grocery stores, and other services are within walking or biking distance. That’s why Jeffries said she supports Pismo’s proposal to build 20 to 50 residential units on

two 1-acre properties each on 4th Street. The YIMBYs hope to see some similar high-density housing development projects in Grover Beach, too, but Jeffries said several changes need to be made to that city’s housing element before that’s a possibility. Barriers, like Grover Beach’s height limit on residential buildings, make it difficult for developers to build affordable apartments in town. Constant public outrage makes that challenging, too, which is namely what the SLO County YIMBYs hope to take on. When residents hold strong “not in my backyard” sentiments over development and affordable housing projects, Jeffries said it encourages developers to stick to single-family homes— projects that don’t incite controversy but are unaffordable to many of the county’s residents. The group is planning to meet again on Aug. 28 to prepare a proposal for Grover Beach City Council, which is meeting to discuss housing in-depth on Sept. 3. —Kasey Bubnash

VIEWER DISCRETION

NEWS from page 4

It’s one of several positions the county plans to take at an upcoming California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) proceeding in San Francisco. At stake is the CPUC’s approval of $4.8 billion in ratepayer monies to fund PG&E’s proposed decommission of Diablo. While the nuclear plant’s closure has generated significant discussion on the Central Coast about opportunities for reusing site facilities—like keeping the desalination plant for regional water resiliency—county leaders say no concrete plans have materialized, and it’s too early to assume they will ever come. “There’s no logical reuse that we can see,” 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill said at an Aug. 20 Board of Supervisors meeting. “We don’t want there to be a mixed message or false illusions for the community.” As a result, the county is aligned with PG&E on its request to the CPUC for the funding and for an immediate decommission of the plant. That plan would shut off Diablo’s two reactors in 2024 and 2025, start a seven-year process to transfer spent fuel from pools to dry casks, and restore the site to its original condition. In its statements to the CPUC, the county also plans to assert that it should be considered the lead land-use agency for Diablo’s 12,000 acres. That means, under the California Environmental Quality Act, SLO County would oversee the decommission’s environmental impact report and have the power to institute various mitigation measures for those activities. “It really does put us in control,” said Guy Savage, a county administrative officer, “of not the actual decision to close or not close [Diablo], but of all the impacts related to it.” County officials also plan to advocate that there be no reduction in PG&E’s contribution to the county’s emergency operations at Diablo and reiterate that the county has no interest in taking over ownership or liability of any assets at the power plant. “There’s been no promises made or any discussion about the county taking on anything [at Diablo],” 1st District Supervisor John Peschong said. While SLO County wants to be on record supporting Diablo’s full restoration, some supervisors and business leaders remain hopeful that reuse opportunities will eventually surface. Melissa James, CEO of the Hourglass Project, an organization studying regional economic challenges and opportunities, said she’s heard “great excitment and buy-in” for potential uses of the plant’s assets. But she agreed

by Jayson Mellom

there’s nothing concrete yet and that the site is “entangled in monstrous complexity.” “While many interesting opportunities may exist, none have been analyzed for their technical or economic feasibility,” James told supervisors. “Neither is there an entity willing and able to assume the risk to explore them.” The CPUC’s proceedings start the week of Sept. 23, according to SLO County. —Peter Johnson

Possible hate crime occurred at a motel in SLO

On Aug. 13, a transgender woman of Latina and Native American heritage was assaulted at a San Luis Obispo motel, and police launched an investigation to determine whether the incident was a hate crime. New Times spoke with the assault survivor who asked to be referred to as “J” to conceal her identity, as the investigation is ongoing. J said she was walking up a flight of stairs to her motel room when she noticed a group of men staring at her while making lewd and offensive comments and transphobic slurs. “I overheard someone say ‘tranny,’ but I just said whatever,” J said. She dismissed the men but was triggered when one individual said he had money to give J so he could perform sexual acts on her. “I said, ‘Shame on you, that’s very disrespectful. That’s not how you talk to people, just because I’m different,’” she said. The conversation escalated, and J said she had a drink from Taco Bell in her hand, so she removed the lid of the cup and threw the contents of the drink at one of the men. The man, whose identity hasn’t been released by police, responded to the action by tackling and punching J. “He tried to throw me over the rail, and I was trying to push all my weight on him so he wouldn’t throw me over. He was choking me, and I thought I was going to die. … I couldn’t breath,” she said, pausing to wipe away tears. “I stuck my nail in his eye, and that’s when he let me go and left.” Jeff Smith, public information officer for the SLO Police Department, confirmed that the incident occurred and the suspect involved in the incident was arrested for battery. He said the incident was an assault, but whether it was also a hate crime will be determined by the SLO County District Attorney’s Office. Michelle Call, executive director of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance of the Central Coast (GALA), said representatives from GALA and Tranz Central Coast met

6 • New Times • August 22 - August 29, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

with police investigators to encourage a thorough review of the case. Smith said that often victims of hate crimes have a distrust for law enforcement and feel misunderstood as a victim of that specific crime. When GALA or Tranz Central Coast are made aware of these incidents, he said, the department appreciates their advocacies for the victim. “We want to make sure everyone is treated with respect and all crimes are properly and thoroughly investigated,” he said. “Without these open conversations we would be unable to address the concerns of the involved victim and hopefully gain their trust through this process.” —Karen Garcia

Grover responds to grand jury report on affordable housing

Housing, or the lack thereof, is likely to be a central topic in Grover Beach for the next several months. At a meeting on Aug. 20, the Grover Beach City Council discussed and approved the city’s official response to a San Luis Obispo County grand jury report on the lack of affordable housing in the area. City staff say much of the report’s contents will be addressed in Grover Beach’s updated housing element, which is in the works and expected to be completed by December 2020. “The grand jury report corroborated many of the key trends and issues with providing affordable housing in our region and community,” Grover Beach City Manager Matthew Bronson said. The report, which was released on June 20, identifies a number of challenges that residents earning low and moderate wages face when attempting to find housing in SLO County—there isn’t enough, and what does exist is too expensive. In Grover Beach’s response to the report, the city acknowledged that the increasing need for housing is a major issue, one that Bronson said the city is already working to address in a variety of ways. That effort, he said, includes some of the recommendations provided by the jury. Grover Beach has already streamlined its building and planning permit approval process to ensure that developers aren’t being discouraged from building. According to Bronson’s staff report, the city’s building and planning reviews have taken no more than 15 days on average since January 2018. The city has also already posted its housing element and annual updates online, and in its response to the report, the city disagreed with the grand jury’s finding that those documents are difficult for the public to access. Still, the city added those documents to a more visible part of its website on July 31. Some of the other recommendations will require more time, effort, and direction from City Council, Bronson said. While the grand jury suggested in its

report that SLO County cities should promote rentals for families earning low wages by making their inclusionary housing ordinances more stringent, Grover Beach doesn’t have such an ordinance at all. Inclusionary housing, which requires developers to build and offer a certain number of affordable units per development, will be a topic of discussion at the Sept. 3 City Council meeting, when the city will discuss the region’s lack of affordable housing and possible solutions. Bronson said it’s a complex problem that needs multi-pronged solutions. “Cities don’t build housing,” Bronson told New Times. “We create the right environment and process for housing to be built by private developers and nonprofit agencies.” —Kasey Bubnash

SLO to review council members’ compensation

San Luis Obispo City Council members voted unanimously on Aug. 20 to appoint seven residents to a committee that will deliberate potential increases to elected city leaders’ compensation packages. SLO council members currently earn $14,688 per year plus insurance benefits and the mayor makes $20,700 per year plus benefits. The SLO City Council last increased its compensation in 2018 with a 15 percent raise to the mayor and 2 percent raise to council members. In 2014, the city approved 20 and 25 percent raises for the council and mayor, respectively. Mayor Heidi Harmon told New Times on Aug. 21 that she views the issue of council compensation as one about achieving equity in city leadership. Harmon said it’s challenging for working to middle class residents to even consider a run for local office given its time commitment and lack of pay. “The role of mayor, in particular, and city council have really evolved over the years and we’ve taken on a lot more responsibility,” Harmon said. “Living in the sixth most expensive place to live in the U.S., you have a real challenge in terms of being able to do this job and do it well. To me the biggest and most important aspect is that lack of compensation in turn directly impacts who can run and be in these roles, which directly impacts policy.” In the at-times contentious debate over compensation, Harmon hasn’t shied away from directly taking on constituents about the issue. In a July email, resident Dia Hurd asked Harmon to “resign” or “quit complaining” about her salary. “The only way you get more salary is it HIT THE CITIZENS UP YET AGAIN FOR MORE CITY TAXES,” Hurd wrote. “If you can’t afford to serve on the council, give us a chance. We don’t whine like you all do!” In response, Harmon told Hurd that her email was “off-base, ageist, and classist,” and that her “lens is based in white supremacy.” “[I hope] we can have constructive community conversation about attitudes such as yours and how detrimental they are to the democratic process,” Harmon wrote. The 2020 Council Compensation Committee will meet over the next nine months and make final recommendations to the City Council by May 2020. Δ —Peter Johnson

Wrapped up? Water Board finalizes TCE cleanup order on Buckley Road

or more than 20 years, Central Coast water quality regulators knew that a carcinogenic solvent, trichloroethylene (TCE), had contaminated the groundwater in a rural mixed-use area near the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport. After years of inaction, including a 15year period where the case went cold, on July 31, the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board executed a final cleanup order of the TCE, which poisoned at least 14 wells near Buckley Road. “We are disappointed that nothing was done about it,” read a letter submitted by 10 area residents to the agency on June 14. “Members of the community could have reduced their exposure had they known about the problem in the 1990s.” The water board’s meandering TCE investigation, which was jump-started in 2013 (not 2015, as New Times previously reported), ultimately found a lead screw manufacturer on Thread Lane—Noll Inc.—responsible for the spill. Groundwater tests under the property last year detected TCE at 783 micrograms per liter (μg/L), about 157 times the federal drinking water standard (5 μg/L). “Noll Inc. has operated a machine shop on the 4665 Thread Lane property since the 1960s,” the cleanup order reads. “Machining operations commonly used solvents as degreasing agents, including TCE.” Per the order, Noll Inc. and several ancillaries are required to provide replacement water to affected residents and businesses and conduct a full TCE cleanup. They must submit plans for those tasks by Sept. 30 and Oct. 18,

respectively. “[The order] is an important milestone,” Greg Bishop, the water board’s site cleanup program manager, told New Times. In comments to the water board, a Noll family attorney denied the company’s alleged role in the TCE spill. He added that the order would pose a serious financial hardship to the family. “Board staff is well aware that my client is not a wealthy or profitable company,” LA-based David A. Ossentjuk wrote to the agency. “We strongly object to the board’s contention that the 4665 Thread Lane property is ‘the’ source of TCE.” Noll Inc. owner John Noll has denied ever using TCE as part of company operations. He did not return requests for comment from New Times. In Ossentjuk’s comments, he raised several possible alternative culprits in the spill—including an old aircraft hangar used by the U.S. military in the ’30s and ’40s; an alleged past dumping ground for airport-related waste; a former nearby refrigeration repair shop; and Central Coast Labs, a industrial business whose building burned down in 1981, according to Ossentjuk. He stated that two former Central Coast Lab employees are expected to provide “sworn testimony relating to the use, storage, and disposal of TCE at the property.” Noll Inc. filed a petition to compel their depositions, and it was granted by a court on June 12, according to Ossentjuk. “We were surprised that the water board did not have anyone present at the hearing and by its lack of willingness to learn new and possibly relevant facts,” he wrote. While soil/water samples at some of the sites mentioned by Ossentjuk did test positive for varying levels of TCE, water

board officials say the evidence points to Noll Inc. as the most likely source. Testing there uncovered “the highest concentrations of TCE in the Buckley Road area to date; effectively indicating a source of TCE,” water board officials said. Noll Inc. may appeal the cleanup order to the State Water Resources Control Board within 30 days. It had not done so as of New Times’ press time.

Full circle

This isn’t the first time Noll Inc. and the regional water board have discussed the TCE contamination near Buckley Road. In 1998, the agency wrote a letter asking Noll to explain how TCE showed up in a neighbor’s well at levels 13 times higher than the safe limit. “The closest apparent source of TCE is Noll’s machine shop,” the letter reads. The water board asked Noll to put together a work plan for testing soils and groundwater in the area. Refusal to comply came with potential penalties of $1,000 per day. In response, John Noll said his company did not use TCE as part of its operation and mentioned the fire at Central Coast Labs. He declined to undergo the testing that the water board had ordered him to do. “We invite you and your department to take a tour of our facility, and test the chemicals inside of our building, so that we may prove that we are not dumping toxins into the environment,” Noll wrote. For unknown reasons, the water board didn’t follow up with the case, and it remained dormant for 15 years. In 2013, after the chemical was found in a public supply well, the agency reopened the investigation. “It appears that the letter was misfiled, and no follow-up occurred,” said Bishop, the water board’s current site cleanup manager. “I can’t address why no followup was conducted at that time, as the staff associated with that letter in 1998 have long since retired.” This explanation falls flat for the Buckley Road residents who have been unknowingly exposed to the carcinogen for years. One resident claimed to have recently contracted a kidney tumor and noted that TCE exposure is scientifically linked with renal cancer. “The TCE plume is a serious health threat,” the June 14 letter from 10 residents stated, “and will remain as such for a long time.” ∆

Local farmers on high alert as China boycotts U.S. agricultural goods

of a crop, it creates more competition locally, he said. Local farmers and ranchers are keeping an even closer eye on the U.S.Mexico-Canada trade agreement, which Burchett said could have truly significant effects on Central Coast agriculture. Canada and Mexico are top importers of goods produced in both SLO and Santa Barbara counties, and Burchett said the ag industry hopes to have year-round access to commodities in both countries. The SLO County Farm Bureau planned to meet with Congressman Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) on Aug. 19 to discuss the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, which is still slowly making its way through the Legislature. “We don’t know how it’s all going to fall out at the end of the day,” Burchett said. That uncertainty is something farmers across the nation have been forced to live with since the White House imposed its first round of tariffs on Chinese imports to the U.S. in January 2018, triggering a string of tit-for-tat retaliatory tariffs on goods between the two countries and others. Although the Trump administration’s tariffs are designed to boost U.S. production of goods and were launched in an effort to protect American businesses from Chinese undercutting and intellectual theft, the resulting trade war is weighing heavily on the agricultural industry. When the first series of tariffs were presented, corn, soybean, and other farmers in the Midwest reported pricing declines and voiced concerns over potential billions of dollars in losses. After several additional increased tariffs were recently imposed on American, Chinese, Canadian, Mexican, and European goods, including steel and aluminum, UC Davis released an extensive study in August 2018 estimating that the trade dispute could cost California fruit and nut farmers roughly $3.4 billion in losses annually. China’s recent decision directing its state-owned enterprises to stop buying American agricultural goods is the latest hit in the ongoing saga. But Dave Kranz, director of media relations with the California Farm —Brent Burchett, Bureau Federation, executive director of the San Luis Obispo County Farm Bureau said the boycott isn’t expected to impact specialty crops typically grown in Wine grapes are the No. 1 crop in California, which are largely imported by SLO County, valued at more than $276 public and private companies in China. million. Any time there’s a depressed “Our understanding is that the action market for wine itself, Burchett said that taken by China applies specifically to impacts local wine grape growers and the state-owned enterprises,” Kranz wrote county’s ag industry as a whole. in an email to New Times, “and may not China was also the 10th top importer (at least so far) extend to private Chinese of agricultural goods grown in Santa firms that import most of the nut, fruit, Barbara County last year, according and vegetable crops that California sends to that county’s 2018 crop report, and there.” ∆ Burchett said that could have a direct Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached impact on farmers in SLO County. When a market is lost for a neighboring supplier at kbubnash@santamariasun.com. t’s been more than a year since the Trump administration launched its first round of tariffs on Chinese imports to the U.S., making trade a hot topic for all Americans. But tariffs and trade are issues that weigh even more heavily on the minds of local farmers and ranchers, who fear that their businesses will eventually be leveraged during negotiations. “If you ask any farmer, trade is a big deal,” said Brent Burchett, executive director of the San Luis Obispo County Farm Bureau. Despite more than a year and a half of tariffs on a plethora of Chinese and American goods, farmers in SLO County have largely made it through the trade war with China unscathed, Burchett said. That’s partly because SLO County’s crops aren’t being exported to China. Last year, the SLO County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office inspected and certified 3,700 shipments of agricultural goods to 48 countries, according to the 2018 crop report, and China wasn’t even close to being a top importer of local products. The county’s farmers and ranchers sent out three shipments to China in 2018—756 bags of wood shavings, 30 oak barrels, and 38 bunches of cut flowers. So Burchett said SLO County farmers aren’t overly worried about China’s recent decision to stop buying U.S. agricultural products, a move that was announced in early August in response to the Trump administration’s most recent tariffs on Chinese goods. Still, Burchett said the Central Coast wine industry will likely be most impacted by China’s boycott. County agricultural commissioners don’t keep track of exported bottles of wine because bottled wine isn’t inspected for pests. But California as a whole ships a lot of wine to China. In 2017, $185.3 million worth of wine traveled from California to China, according to the state Department of Food and Agriculture. Only pistachios and almonds followed the same route more often.

Back on track Editor’s note: New Times is following the lives of nine Grizzly Youth Academy students, from the start of their journey down a new path toward academic and personal success, to the end. This story is the first installment in a series about the cadets.

he last of the fog is melting away from the hills that surround Camp San Luis Obispo on the morning of Aug. 1. The California National Guard lives here, as do the facilities to train and give logistical support to various civilian and military agencies at the federal, state, and local levels. The Grizzly Youth Academy, a partnership between the California National Guard and the Grizzly Challenge Charter School, also lives here. It was the first of its kind in the state. Now, there are 39 similar programs like it across the nation. Francisco Lopez, Grizzly Academy’s lieutenant and director, is sitting at his desk with the windows wide open to let in as much natural light and breeze in as he can. He speaks passionately about Grizzly’s class No. 43, which commenced on July 21. If you ask him what the Grizzly Youth Academy is all about, he simply says that it’s a machine. “We never stop. We’re constantly in support of the kids, and we look at any and every aspect of how to reach the kids to help them change for the better,” he says. Grizzly is a youth program with a militarystyled structure in which students make up lost school credits as well as learn the skills they need to be positive and successful individuals in society. New Times sat down with nine members of class No. 43’s 222 cadets to learn why they volunteered to join the program and what their hopes are for life after Grizzly.

The Machine

Grizzly is a program for youth between the ages of 16 and 18 who have dropped out of high school or are at risk of dropping out and need to catch up on credits. The program is tailored to get students back on track academically, and it’s also rooted in promoting leadership, cooperation, and academic skills—all while building

Students join Grizzly Youth Academy for various reasons, but their main goal is to become productive members of society BY KAREN GARCIA PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM self-esteem, pride, and confidence. Lopez says he and his staff do this by getting rid of all the “static” in their lives. “It’s my term, ‘static.’ It’s like the static you hear on the radio. There’s so much static and noise out there in society: social media, drugs, gangs, and truancy itself,” he says. “It’s that social noise of hearing, ‘You’re never going to achieve; you can’t achieve.’” He tells the kids who attend Grizzly that they’ll always face that kind of input from their peers, adults, and society at large. “You’re going to have to learn to strengthen your guard, so when negativity comes your way, you know how to deflect it and you can then leave yourself open to the good stuff,” Lopez says. The program tackles all those areas by focusing on a military structure, which means cadets wake up early to participate in exercise drills and team-building activities on top of attending classes. Grizzly is funded primarily through the federal government, the state of California, grants, and donations. Tuition, room, board, books, and food are covered for each cadet who joins the program. Parents only need to provide their kids with underwear, shoes, gray sweats, toiletries, a black hat, and other personal needs. What makes the program unique aside from its military structure is that it’s all voluntary—incoming cadets decide whether the 22-week residential program and 12-month post-residential phase (Grizzly checks on each individual after they complete the program) is the right choice for them. Lopez says almost all cadets join because they’ve realized they’re ready for a change in their life. A few students do quit the program because they aren’t ready, but that’s an exception. He says almost all of them come back when they are ready. The lieutenant has been the director of the program for about a year, and when he arrived in the area, he was surprised to hear the community’s misconceptions about who attends Grizzly. He heard people call the cadets “those troubled kids” or “those probation kids.” Lopez hates the phrase, “those kids.” “The reality of it is, it’s not ‘those kids,’ it’s our kids, our community kids, and our family kids. The beautiful thing about our kids is that they recognize that they FOR THE KIDS Francisco Lopez, Grizzly Youth Academy’s director, implements his philosophy: The Academy never quits and is there for every kid who walks through the door.

need help, they have the opportunity, and have made themselves available to the opportunity,” Lopez says. “Every kid here has volunteered to be a part of this program and we do work hard and encourage them to stay right.” It’s the second week of the Academy and classes haven’t started yet, but the exercises, activities, and transition to the program’s rigor has. The kids all say pretty much the same things. Getting out of bed so early has been rough, some of the exercises or drills are tiring, and they miss their families. However, not one cadet complained about being at Grizzly. They all talk about their past as if it’s already leaving them as they take steps into their future.

Luis and Nidia Valenzuela

Luis, 18, and Nidia, 16, Valenzuela are siblings who decided to join the program

here and I’m not going to be here to show you right from wrong. Make this time that you have with me, while you have it, valuable,’” he says. His younger sister Nidia was going down the same path of smoking weed and not caring about school. She was on the track team, and her choices were affecting her athletic involvement at school. Nidia says that she had a friend who was also on the track team but later dropped out. That friend would convince Nidia to leave practice to hangout and smoke. “When I started smoking I couldn’t breath as well as I used to, and because of that I couldn’t run as far as I used to, or liked to. I just gave up on it,” she says. Nidia heard that her brother was joining Grizzly and decided it was the right time for her to sign up as well. Her main goals are to get back into physical shape to be able to join the school track team again as well as get over her social anxiety.

SETTING AN EXAMPLE Luis and Nidia Valenzuela are siblings from Fresno County who supported each other in the decision to better their lives by joining Grizzly Youth Academy together.

together. They had a mutual friend who went through the program and saw how much it worked out for him. Luis says he was moved to attend Grizzly after a conversation with his mother. From Huron in Fresno County, the Valenzuela siblings are the youngest of five. They describe Huron as a small farming community with not much to do, few job opportunities, and no high school. To attend Coalinga High School, they hop on a bus for a 25- to 30-minute ride. Their mom (a single parent) provides for the family as a seasonal employee who works in the nearby fields picking produce, so come winter, she struggles with employment. “But she does what she can, and she always provides for us. We never go to sleep hungry, we have a bed to lay in, and we never go without clothes on our backs,” he says looking down at his hands. Luis says his mindset used to be that adults didn’t know what they’re talking about, so he didn’t listen to them much. With that attitude it was hard for him to take direction at school. He would often second-guess his teachers, and he skipped classes. He would rather smoke weed and hang out with his friends. “I think it was mostly distractions, like friends. I just made one bad decision, and after that the rest kind of seemed easier,” he says. He wanted to make a change after having a conversation with his mom and realizing how behind he’d become in school. She made him realize how his actions now could have negative ramifications later on in life. “She said, ‘One day I’m not going to be

Talking to New Times, she says it’s hard for her but she’s trying. “I want to learn what my limits are, everything that I can and can’t do. Everything that I can do, I’m going to try really hard at because I want to improve on myself,” Nidia says.

Stephanie Recio-Soltero

Eighteen-year-old Stephanie Recio-Soltero is a mom from Lompoc. Even though she’s wearing gray sweats, she’s bursting with color and energy as she talks. Recio-Soltero was born in Santa Barbara but spent a good chunk of her childhood living with her aunt in Utah and then Lompoc. She says she was raised by her aunt when her single mother was going through a rough patch. What she remembers most is how different Utah is from Santa Barbara County, mostly because of the snow. “The snow is not fun, it’s kind of a hassle sometimes because you can slip and fall, and you have to shovel out the driveway,” Recio-Soltero says between laughs. The transition to Grizzly life has been tough for her because of the strict programming, but she doesn’t mind it. If anything, she says it’s making her a stronger person. The most difficult piece for her is being away from her soon-to-be 10-month-old daughter. “The first couple of days I cried because I think the hardest thing was leaving my baby. But being away from home, well, it’s not that hard because I’ve been in and out of houses so I’m pretty comfortable anywhere I go,” she says. At Grizzly, Recio-Soltero says, she’s

me,” she says. “It feels like I’m finally accomplishing something or that I’m finally doing something for myself.” Regalado says that before coming to Grizzly she was just hanging around with her friends, not really doing anything. She liked to drink a lot, to the point that she would get frustrated if she didn’t have alcohol in her system. “I would get so drunk that I’d black out, and I didn’t even know what would ever happen. I didn’t even care, I was so drunk I didn’t care about anything,” she says. “I don’t know, I just think I let myself go.” But Regalado is ready for change and says she wants to be a better role model for her siblings.

NEW BEGINNINGS Stephanie RecioSoltero is making a change in her life, academically, mentally, and physically, for her almost 10-month-old daughter.

guaranteed to have a bed, three meals a day, and two snacks—so she’s not complaining. Recio-Soltero was the type of student who got good grades and really enjoyed school. She was even on the honor roll. But when her brother went to jail for attempted murder, it changed things. Her brother was RecioSoltero’s guide. He gave her advice, told her right from wrong, and pushed her to excel in school. When he went away, she lost that guidance, and her mom lost their home, so she went to live with a friend who did drugs. At the time, she was also encountering an issue with one of her 10th grade teachers, who Recio-Soltero felt was discriminating against her because of her race. She says the teacher would make her do assignments more than once, singling her out of all the students in her class. It felt like the odds were against her. When Recio-Soltero found out about her pregnancy, she stopped doing drugs because she wanted to better herself and keep her baby out of harm’s way. But once Yulema Rose was born, Recio-Soltero said she experienced “baby blues”—a form of postpartum depression—and she started smoking weed and doing meth. “I think every mom gets baby blues no matter how long you’ve been a mom. You’re always going to question if you’re doing the right thing, if you’re parenting right, or is this right or wrong?” she says. Recio-Soltero cares too much about the future of her daughter to keep dipping back into substance abuse, so she learned about Grizzly and believes this is how she’ll learn to stay off drugs for good. “I feel very positive about this,” she says with a smile.

Evelyn Frausto

STRENGTH TEST Alexandria Regalado sheds a few tears when she thinks about the seven siblings she’s separated from for the first time to attend Grizzly Youth Academy.

Evelyn Frausto, 16, has a no-nonsense and positive attitude when she tells New Times that she was able to talk to her parents before the other girls in her platoon did.

you’re glad you’re here, and that’s what keeps you motivated,” she says. Frausto was attending her high school classes and working two jobs: as a store clerk at Adidas and a supervisor at Gilroy Gardens (a family theme park). She worked both jobs to pay for her car insurance because she had a deal with her parents—if she could pay for the insurance, they would pay for the car. With her jobs came new friends. One thing led to another and they would all smoke weed together. She started to fall behind in school and use the money she earned for buying weed. Her friend group would always say they were going to quit smoking, but never did. Her parents were constantly on her case about her grades and reprimanding Frausto for her behavior, but her nieces are what made her realize she needed to stop. “My sister would bring her baby over a lot, and I would babysit my little cousin every so often, but it took a toll on me. I didn’t want them to grow up and think I was a drug addict. I don’t want them to see me all slumped and out of it, so I decided I should come here, get sober, and stop,” she says. She knew this program would help her because her brother and sister had attended the Grizzly Youth Academy. Her brother works for a union and has a family of his own. Her sister joined the military and has a family as well. Frausto wants to go back to high school and apply to San Jose State University to become a criminal psychologist. Her other long-term goals include spending more time with her family. They’re her biggest motivation to change.

Cooper Brown

In her view, being a better role model is kicking her drinking habit and finishing the tasks that she starts. Regalado says that in the past, she never gave herself the chance to finish something. It’s a characteristic she’s ready to tackle through the program. “I hope to learn how to always finish something that I started, how to be independent, and just to always keep pushing forward no matter how hard things get,” she says.

Sixteen-year-old Cooper Brown grew up in two households starting when he was about 8. Weekdays were spent at his mom’s home in Paso Robles and weekends were spent with his dad in Hanford, in the San Joaquin Valley. Brown is reserved as he explains that he hasn’t given the back-and-forth between his parents much thought. It’s just

Dezarey Cerna Dezarey Cerna, 16, says she decided to come to Grizzly Youth Academy for her grandmother. Cerna says she’s been causing her grandmother worry and stress with her behavior. NEW PATH Evelyn Frausto once juggled two part-time jobs and school to pay for her car; however, when she’s done with Grizzly Youth Academy, she wants to focus on her family.

Alexandria Regalado

When Alexandria Regalado, 16, sat down with New Times, she started tearing up at the thought of being away from her seven siblings who are waiting for her in Pinedale, an unincorporated community in Fresno County. As she wipes away her tears, she says it can be hard at times to live in a home with so many siblings—she’s the oldest—but overall it’s fun to have a big family. The family, including her mom, lives with their grandmother, a now retired former registered nurse. Her dad has been in prison for about eight years, but they’ve always kept in touch through phone calls. Regalado says her grandmother cried as she was preparing to leave, but her siblings didn’t believe she would actually go through with attending Grizzly. “Now [her siblings are] writing me and saying how proud everyone is of

“I would go to my [high school] classes but I just wouldn’t pay attention and I’d mostly sit in the back talking,” Cerna says. She also had a habit of smoking weed. It was a way for her to deal with the issues she was having with her mom, who lives with Cerna and her grandmother. She says her mom has never really been there for her. “I’ve gone through depression because of that. People say, ‘She’s your mom even though she doesn’t take care of you, you still have to have respect for her.’ But it’s hard to have respect for her when she’s there living with you, but you can never go to her to express yourself because she’s doing her own thing,” Cerna says. Her dad lived in King City and Cerna would visit him often, until he recently moved to Oakland to live with his wife and children. “I can have more respect for him than I do for my mom because he checks up on me and he asks if I need anything. It makes me feel good when he checks in,” she says. In addition to gaining the right skills and credits to get back on track with school, Cerna says she wants to prepare herself for life after Grizzly. She’s hoping to finish her senior year of high school and apply to college. Her long-term goals are learning and training to become a phlebotomist nurse—the nurse who draws blood. It’s a career that her aunt, who lives in Hemet, has and one she wants to emulate.

SELF-AWARENESS Dezarey Cerna came to Grizzly Youth Academy because she wants to relieve her grandmother of the stress Cerna says she was causing her by falling behind in school and using drugs.

She called them after a hike resulted in a knee injury. Frausto says her platoon was running down a hill when she fell and split her knee open. But she didn’t call her parents crying or in a panic; it was just protocol. If a Grizzly staff member has to take a cadet off campus for a medical emergency—she needed stitches—a parent or guardian must be called. “So I told her I was fine, and then [my mom] asked about how the program was going. At first I was telling her it was really hard because you get homesick and the first day here all you hear is the other girls crying,” Frausto says. She knew the beginning of the program would be difficult, so on the day she was dropped off, she told her parents they each get a five-second hug and then she walked into her classroom without looking back. “We’re almost done with the first two weeks, and that’s the hardest part. At the end of the day you feel accomplished,

GOALS Cooper Brown said his long-term career goal is becoming a mechanic for race cars to fulfill is love of cars and going fast.

something he’s done since he was a child. With both his parents working full-time jobs, Brown says he was home alone most of the time and basically could do whatever he wanted. When it came to school, he continued with that mindset and slept in class, didn’t care much for the curriculum, and hung out with his friends. “I never really cared and everything for GRIZZLY continued page 12

He wants to be able to care enough to learn the trade and have a career. “If you’re not successful in life, you’re struggling, and I want to be able to pay bills and stuff,” he says.

Noah Landeros just turned 18 on Aug. 12, and he already has a game plan for his life after Grizzly. He really wants to attend Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. In order to get there, he plans to go back to his hometown of Bakersfield after completing the program, go to community college, and then enlist

Ashton Tolliver

Ashton Tolliver, 17, tells New Times that he’s an introvert who doesn’t say much and usually keeps away from other people. However, as Tolliver explains his first job at Chuck E. Cheese’s in Lancaster, his personality shines. After being employed for seven months, he says he worked all the positions in the restaurant and family center because he’s a hard worker. His mood begins to shift as he talks about entering the foster system after his grandmother died in 2016. His grandmother became his adoptive guardian when his biological mother lost custody of him and his other siblings due to substance abuse. His siblings were old enough to be considered adults, so he entered the system alone. “It was just a lot of adjusting to different people, different places, and different ways of doing things,” Tolliver says. He stayed in three different foster homes, and the adjustment wasn’t easy. As school became more difficult for him, his grades dropped, he started smoking weed, got in fights at school, and constantly ran away from his foster home. Tolliver wants to change through the Grizzly program. He turns 18 soon, and he says he wants to make up the credits that he’s missing in school so he can finish high school on a positive note. He has two job opportunities waiting for him after Grizzly—at Costco with one cousin and in construction with another. More importantly, Tolliver says he wants to work on his relationship with

in the military with the hopes of getting into the university. Landeros didn’t really have a plan for himself before Grizzly, he was just worried about following the orders of his foster parents. He entered the foster system with his siblings when he was a baby, so his grandmother took them in through a relative care program. When Landeros was 2 years old, his grandmother died of cancer. For the next seven years, Landeros and his siblings lived with his great-grandmother and two aunts. “I just remember mostly bad experiences. My sisters were forced to do drugs, they would hit me. I was abused for along time there. I was locked up in my room and wasn’t allowed to go out for weeks at a time,” he says. His two older sisters asked teachers for help, and when a social worker came to the home to answer the call, Landeros and his siblings were taken the same day to return to their biological mother. For a brief couple of months, the Landeros siblings were living with their mom, but being a single mother was challenging, and he says that she started physically abusing them. He says they were split up and put into foster care homes. While he moved fewer times than his siblings, he still hasn’t found stability. He’s striving to provide that stability for himself. “Now is the opportunity for me especially because of my age and because

Ready to practice

hen the San Luis Obispo College of Law first opened its doors a little more than three years ago, its classes were held in the basement of a downtown office building. Founding administrators wondered if they’d be able to attract the students and retain the faculty to thrive as a community-based law school. This June, the law school proved how far it’s come since those humble beginnings. In a ceremony held at Dallidet Adobe on June 9, the college’s inaugural class of nine graduated with juris doctorate (JD) degrees in hand. Four of those graduates recently passed the BAR exam. Many alumi have since received multiple job offers in the area. “It’s been a real success,” college Dean Jan Marx told New Times. “There are jobs waiting for people.” The SLO College of Law is an accredited branch of the Monterey College of Law, and the only institution in the county to offer a doctorate degree. It does so while charging relatively affordable tuition, as it targets local, working people of all ages, professional interests, and educational backgrounds. The school does not require a bachelor’s degree for admission—only a certain number of academic credits. “Most of our students are early- to mid30s, people who in some way feel they have more potential,” Marx explained. “They want to jump-start their careers, but also their intellectual development.”

Many students juggle their evening law classes with full-time jobs and family responsibilities. “Our students are all hard working,” Marx said. “Really, they’re my heroes. They’re incredible.” The law school’s grads are leveraging their new law degrees in diverse ways. One started work at a professor’s law practice. Another is a city employee who received a promotion with her newly acquired expertise. One is a tech business owner whose JD has empowered her to “rise in an international context,” Marx said. “Doors open,” she said about the power of a degree. “It’s a real asset.” While not every College of Law student wants to become a practicing attorney, private and public law practices up and down the Central Coast are eager for recruits. “The legal community has trouble hiring people from out of the region, just like any other business,” Marx said. The college thrived in its beginning years in no small part because of the enthusiastic support from the local legal community. That’s the main source for the school’s reliable team of faculty members. “Because there’s so much support out there, we’ve had tremendous success with the faculty,” Marx said. After its opening year, the college relocated to a larger campus on Broad Street. It’s increased its enrollment with the incoming 2019-20 class. Marx said the school has plans to

offer specialized master’s degrees (it already offers a general Master of Legal Studies)—leveraging online courses through Monterey College of Law’s other branches to expand course offerings. For prospective students interested in the college, there are opportunities to apply and enroll three times throughout the academic year: the fall, spring, and summer. The SLO College of Law holds regular information sessions on its campus at 4119 Broad St., suite 200, SLO; the next session is Sept. 19 at 5:30 p.m. “It’s a tremendous asset for our region,” Marx said of the college. “Until this law school was established, if people wanted to go to law school, they’d either have to move or do punishing commutes. It’s opened up a window of opportunity for people.”

Enslaving the future Community choice energy isn’t saving the future

onterey Bay Community Power (MBCP) is the local community choice energy (CCE) program soliciting our county and local cities to join. Is this a private company competing with PG&E? No, MBCP is a public entity whose employees are covered by the PERS retirement plan. California law enables MBCP to take over managing how PG&E customers get their electricity. And do ratepayers get a choice? No, not until after your city or county votes to enroll you in MBCP collective. Then you can “opt out.”

the state of California. This fact is important because PG&E does pay taxes. These taxes pay for our public schools and other public services. Without PG&E’s tax money, how will these be paid? That’s right. You and I and all of our neighbors will have to pay the bill. Sweet deal for MBCP. We get a rebate, which may or may not be enough to pay the bills when Diablo shuts down, and the county and cities no longer have PG&E tax revenue. And MBCP bragged about its commitment to spending any surplus funds on energy-saving projects and projects benefitting our respective communities. We would have local “representation,” but not control. Each community has a full or partial vote at the ever-growing table. When more communities join (currently 19), the voices of the others are diluted. If and when it becomes absolutely necessary, SLO could create its own CCE, just for our county. MBCP has been able to afford rebates because it has had Diablo’s nearly 20,000 gigawatts of clean power. Similar quantities of carbon-free energy will not be readily available when Diablo is shut down. Can we expect the government to bail us out? Looking across the state, Los Angeles and Ventura counties—including Ojai,

There simply is not enough solar and wind energy in the entire United States capable of sustaining zero carbon. Who are we fooling? And just how does MBCP attract cities and counties to join its collective? With money, in the form of rebates to electric users. But where does the money come from? Well, part of it comes from diverting profits that would have gone to PG&E but now goes back to consumers. Sounds good so far, if you are a consumer. That is, until you realize MBCP is tax-exempt. It pays no taxes in California, ever, part of the joint powers agreement structured by

Carpinteria, and Camarillo—have seen rising rates resulting from their CCE’s choosing 100 percent carbon-free electricity. There simply is not enough solar and wind energy in the entire United States capable of sustaining zero carbon. Who are we fooling? San Luis Obispo County 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold recognized this “fast hustle” tactic for what it was. Arnold’s experience and dedication to her constituents helps our county make the right decisions for the right reasons, and not govern like lemmings, doing something just because everyone else is doing it. And don’t forget. Handing the government ultimate control over a major portion of the means of production is classic socialism and communism.

Letters Community power purchase: The rest of the story Thank heaven for a city council that wants to look behind the curtain of unknown information. The questions asked by our Atascadero City Council

are valid. Just where is all of this “green energy” going to come from. It’s dark at night, and solar power would have to be subsidized with batteries that are not cost effective nor environmentally “sustainable.” What will the price of purchasing and replacing batteries be in the future? Trying to find and provide “green energy” would put the city at risk of inflated price costs as dams are removed. Where will energy be purchased from? The whole idea smells like a used car sales pitch with very small print in the contract. It sounds good today, but what’s to prevent the future price from going up? All of the “savings today” will be ”gouging tomorrow.” A city must plan for many years in the future, not just tomorrow. Edward Veek Atascadero

It’s notable that talk show host Andy Caldwell–apparently a candidate for the GOP nomination in our district– told New Times he “hadn’t planned on running for Congress but was urged on by GOP leaders in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.” Recall that it was Ventura ranching and medical device special interests that helped bankroll Justin “Let’s Talk” Fareed’s many failed campaigns against Salud Carbajal.

Opinion LETTERS from page 14

I need some answers

Al Fonzi (“Stoking the fires of division,” Aug. 15) is so wrong on so many levels, I don’t even know where to start, but I’ll try. First, he gives Trump credit for his “accomplishments,” but he can only name one of them—appointing a lot of judges. Big deal. Presidents get to pick judges. It’s what they do. Easiest part of the job, actually. So Al, if you can’t think of any others, maybe I can help. To name just a few: He’s dramatically raised taxes on working people (myself included), he’s created concentration camps full of children on our border, and by ignoring the 2016 cyberattack on our election, he’s actively selling out our democracy to a hostile foreign power. And by the way, Al, what is it about the so-called “liberal agenda” that seems to frighten you so? What is so wrong with affordable health care and education? What’s so wrong with giving immigrants a path to citizenship? What’s so wrong with keeping assault weapons away from those who would use them? What’s so wrong with allowing women to govern their own bodies? What’s so wrong with a tax system requiring the rich to pay their share? What’s so wrong with any of that? Maybe you can answer me in your next column. I’ll be waiting by the news rack. Dan Curtis San Luis Obispo

This is why Fonzi is wrong

I am surprised that New Times continues to lend its megaphone to Al Fonzi who features hyperbolic gross

Letters generalizations in his diatribes. Let’s unpack a few of his latest rants (“Stoking the fires of division,” Aug. 15). He says that “leftists” despise anyone with deeply held religious views. Not so. No one seeks to prevent anyone from holding whatever religious views they want, nor despises them for doing so. But what the evangelical right wants is to impose its views and practices on everyone else by, among other things, undermining public accommodation law and allowing establishments to discriminate on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, and the like. Fonzi also claims that the left wants to undermine the First Amendment and disarm the American public by repealing the Second Amendment. In fact, as to the First Amendment, it is President Donald Trump who continually floats proposed restrictions on the press, demonizes reporters, and yanks press credentials without any legal basis to do so. He is the one undermining the First Amendment. As for the Second Amendment, Fonzi and his ilk misread it. The Supreme Court has not said the Second Amendment is a mandate authorizing unlimited weaponry, and no one is suggesting the American public be disarmed. But it is a far cry from hunting to allowing weapons of war. Republican legislatures across the country and the Republican Senate, to be sure, have been cowed by the National Rifle Association, but the vast majority of the American public supports reasonable restrictions on the types of guns permitted (no assault rifles) and where they can be carried. As a final example, Fonzi says that the left wants to “impose a socialist dictatorship upon the nation, destroy

our free market economy, and impose draconian reductions on the middle class.” This is made-up nonsense. The left wants more democracy, not less. It is Republicans who suppress the vote, not Democrats. And if Fonzi thinks reasonable regulation to rein in out-ofcontrol income inequality amounts to war on the middle class, then I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell him. I could go on, but I think these are examples enough. But let’s not lose sight of the larger point. Rants like Fonzi’s are not constructive; they are propaganda in the extreme. He does not deserve a voice in your newspaper. If you want to include conservative voices, pick someone who is civil and constructive instead. Rick Derevan Atascadero

New Times must be intimidated by an advertiser

Al Fonzi. Like a persistent cockroach, his column keeps appearing in your paper in spite of many well-argued letters calling for you to stop publishing his irrational, ultra-partisan rants. In his latest screed (“Stoking the fires of division,” Aug. 15), Fonzi rails against the so-called “progressive agenda,” stating without evidence that leftists in America wish to destroy the Constitution and Bill of Rights, take away all guns, eliminate the market economy and the middle class, persecute religious believers, and, yes, “impose a socialist dictatorship upon the nation.” This sort of sensational and irrational fearmongering echoes the poison spread by ultra-partisan news outlets, troll farms, and fringe websites. It has no place in a newspaper that purports to encourage reasonable public discourse. Yes, we can discuss issues such as health care, gun control, climate change, and inequality, but we can do so without demonizing, bullying, and distorting the ideas presented by those who disagree with us. Fonzi ends with an ominous warning about “blood in the streets of America,” a thinly veiled incitement to violence that only stokes the fires of hysteria burning through what is left of rational public discourse in this country. How can the editors of New Times continue to support and publish Fonzi’s poorly-argued and incendiary rants in light of today’s political climate? Yes, there are irrational extremists on the other side as well, but they haven’t been given a regular column in your paper. I can only guess that some well-heeled

advertiser or sponsor has intimidated the editorial board into presenting Fonzi’s column with the aim of furthering Fonzi’s sort of ultra-right political agenda. Raoul Wise Shell Beach

Stoking division

The commentary from Al Fonzi called “Stoking the fires of division” (Aug. 15) is exactly what this article is doing. In the second paragraph, the author correctly points out “President Trump bears a good deal of responsibility for the chasm of political division within our nation. His mercurial temperaments, his coarse language, and use of personal insults towards political enemies via social media is un-presidential as Americans have come to understand how a president conducts himself in office.” The rest of the article is just political fodder to feed proTrump rhetoric and provocation. Al Fonzi is putting “fuel onto the flames.” Please stop stoking the fires of division. Very sad to see such a commentary in New Times. Let us rise above the distinctions that divide us. Teresa Lees Cambria

What is balance?

In response to Steve Ryburn’s opinion piece “Balance?” in the Aug. 8 edition of New Times, it seems he is agreeable to everyone’s opinion as long as they are consistent with his. Not only does he not like those opposing opinions, but wants them silenced. Mr. Ryburn does not like Al Fonzi’s or John Donegan’s opinions and as such he wants their articles removed from New Times. It appears he and many others have such a low confidence in their convictions that those convictions cannot stand up against any opposing point of view. They therefore must have the opposition silenced. It seems that when many liberals do not agree with what is said or printed, they want the person saying or writing their opinions silenced, shouted down, or removed from the air waves or newspaper. It also seems that when many conservatives disagree with what is said or printed, they just change the channel or don’t read the article. Is that because the liberals have such low confidence in their convictions? A recent incident at a major university presents a good example. The liberals on campus, in protesting some incident or cause, held a fasting sit-in on campus. The conservatives then on the same day held a barbecue directly adjacent to the fasting students. The conservatives did not interfere with or otherwise disrupt the fasting students. It is not difficult to determine who won that fasting versus food debate. Ron Smith Paso Robles

Rhetoric&Reason

BY ANDREW CHRISTIE

Within our reach

n Sept. 3, the city of San Luis Obispo is poised to pass an aggressive building electrification reach code. OK, before you de-glaze your eyes and flip to the movie reviews, let me take a shot at explaining why—assuming you are concerned about climate change, indoor and outdoor air pollution, deadly gas leaks and explosions, and/or affordable housing—this is something you should pay attention to and get behind, whether or not you live in the city of San Luis Obispo. The amount of gas combustion in buildings is greater than that of all the power plants in the state. The proposed ordinance is based on the premise that fossil fuels have no place in our homes, commercial buildings, or communities, and we have a right to clean, safe, and affordable energy. It’s basically a pathway for builders to go all-electric rather than including gas in new development. New construction that opts instead for the inclusion of mixed fuel or gas must comply with CalGreen Tier 1, a stringent energy efficiency program that would incur significant costs for developers. Allelectric is the more economic pathway. The elimination of gas hookups and infrastructure from new development represents a major savings for builders

and the avoidance of a future stranded asset. For occupants, when utilizing available smart control technology and favorable time-of-use electric rates, allelectric buildings are cost-competitive with mixed natural gas and electric buildings even with the current low price of natural gas. Combined with solar, electric heating can cut heating bills in half or more. If SLO passes this ordinance at its Sept. 3 City Council meeting, it will help put California on track to hit its greenhouse gas reduction goals, support local housing affordability, and add momentum to the effort of several dozen cities and counties around the state that are pursuing reach codes phasing out gas in new construction. In other words, this is a genuine grassroots effort, as cities and clean energy advocates like the Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Building Decarbonization Coalition are hoping the local ordinances for new development will be heard in Sacramento, which will act to bring the state’s building energy code in line with the new municipal standards and put some serious financial incentives behind retrofits. (Those of you without air conditioning who are starting to regret that fact, take note: Replacing gas

furnaces with electric heat pump space heaters confers the bonus ability of heat pumps to operate in reverse and provide high efficiency cooling.) For every action, there is an opposite reaction. Fake grassroots advocates are pushing back, using scare tactics and misinformation, and it’s not hard to guess where the push and the funding behind it is coming from. “The state recognizes that they have to de-carbonize their buildings to achieve their climate goals,” said Luis Amezcua, senior campaign representative for Sierra Club California. “(The natural-gas industry is) going to dig in their heels. … They want to keep Californians hooked on gas.” As L.A. Times business columnist Michael Hiltzik reported on Aug. 8, the Sierra Club challenged the attempt of the group Californians for Balanced Energy Solutions (C4BES) “to be named an official party to a Public Utilities Commission [PUC] proceeding on the future of gas usage in the state.” “The group’s four-page application to the PUC for party status doesn’t mention Southern California Gas even once,” Hiltzik wrote. “The truth is that the gas company’s fingerprints are all over the creation of C4BES. The Sierra Club’s filing mentions a set of ‘core principles’ for the group written by a marketing firm working with SoCal Gas and circulated by the gas company in October 2018 to possible recruits to the C4BES board. It’s nearly identical to the ‘core principles’

appearing on the group’s website.” The article continues: “‘There’s a big difference between persuading another party to support your position, versus funding a group, and having that group become a party,’ says Michael Campbell, a program manager with the Public Advocates Office, which represents consumer interests before the commission. ‘It’s inappropriately amplifying their voice in a commission proceeding.’” Other countries are looking to California for leadership on building codes. California is looking to its cities. Our cities are looking to you. Want to have a global impact on climate change? It would be a good idea for you to show up at SLO City Hall at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3, to lend your support to the ordinance. If you can’t make it, drop the City Council a note at emailcouncil@ slocity.org. And if you happen to be reading this on Thursday, Aug. 22, start heading over to the Building Technology Expo, taking place from 6 to 9 p.m. on Morro Street during the SLO Farmers’ Market, hosted by the SLO Climate Coalition as part of the Coalition’s Climate Solutions Series, “Decarbonizing Our Future With Better Buildings.” ∆ Andrew Christie is director of the Santa Lucia chapter of the Sierra Club.

The Shredder

Toxic plume

or more than two decades, the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (whew, that’s a mouthful, amirite?) has known about a toxic plume of chemical-infested water near Buckley Road and the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport. Area residents have been pulling water out of wells contaminated by something called trichloroethylene (yep, that’s another mouthful)—aka TCE—a chemical solvent that’s linked to cancer. And they are pissed! I am pissed! The water board started an investigation in 1998 because TCE showed up in a well at 13 times higher than what the government considered to be safe! Staffers zeroed in on a culprit: The neighbor! Said neighbor, in a very unneighborly fashion, refused to cooperate, risking fines of up to $1,000 a day. Water board staffers promptly responded, in very uncharacteristic fashion, by dropping the ball completely. Do you even know how rich the water board could be? That usually nitpicky government agency could be $7.7 million wealthier by now, and counting. In 2013, according to Greg Bishop— who’s in charge of the water board’s site cleanup program and most definitely has not dropped the ball (Yet. I’m counting on you, Greg, my boy)—high levels of

TCE showed up in a public water agency’s well, reopening the investigation. Residents with contaminated wells? Deal with it, folks! A water agency? We can’t have that! And would you believe it? Six years later, the water board zeroed in on the same exact freaking culprit: Noll Inc. First of all, six years! The wheels of government bureaucracy at work, folks! It’s a pace that’s hard to keep up with, I know. Bishop, by the way, said he has no idea why water board staffers dropped the ball. Those dudes have all retired. All he said was: “It appears that the letter was misfiled, and no follow-up occurred.” Lucky Noll. Although Noll Inc. is a manufacturing company that definitely could have used TCE-based solvents in the past when TCE was widely used (it was phased out in the 1970s), John Noll insists that his company doesn’t use, nor has it ever used, TCE. This is mind-boggling considering that the level of TCE found in the water beneath his property is almost 157 times the safe limit—that’s 157 times, people! So, how’d it get there? It’s a conspiracy. It’s. Got. To. Be. Meanwhile, Noll Inc. is once again doing everything it can to not cooperate.

Noll’s lawyer, David A. Ossentjuk, has earned whatever Noll’s paying him by raising several alternatives. But really, who’s going to foot the bill for cleanup? The water board could if it had followed through on all of those fines in 1998. But that didn’t happen. Can the water board compel Noll Inc. to spend money on cleanup? Or will it misfile all of the TCE paperwork again? I’m guessing it’s going to be me and you, baby! Taxpayers, this is your money hard at work. When no one fesses up to industrial-sized environmental disasters, it’s us who get to take care of shit. When you are a giant corporation that goes out of business and leaves a little mess behind, we got your back! We love getting screwed over by capitalists. That’s why we live in America, baby! Bankrupt oil company? Don’t worry, California legislators are happy to have the state foot the bill to decommission your economic disaster of an oil operation, Rincon Island Limited Partnership. State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson is happy to write up a little bill that would commit the state’s taxpayers to spend more than $50 million to prevent your oily mess from destroying our coastline for decades to come. Bishop said if Noll can’t pay, there are always grants. Sigh. Speaking of sighs—Mayor Heidi Harmon is pissed at a constituent who doesn’t think that San Luis Obispo City Council members deserve a pay raise! Really, nobody wants to give elected officials more money because everyone

hates them, amirite? “Your lens is based on white supremacy,” Harmon replied in an email back to the complaining constituent who said: “If you can’t afford to serve on the council, give us a chance. We don’t whine like you all do!” At first glance, WTF Heidi? This person is aggressively pissed off about the city spending more of her tax dollars, and you basically call her a white supremacist! Whew. That’s a bit much. At second glance, and with a little more explanation from the Head-RoseWearer in Chief, I get it. Serving as a City Council member can be a parttime, if not full-time, job. It’s one that’s traditionally been reserved for older, richer, whiter constituents. Simply because those of us who have to work for a living can’t afford not to. But still. Calling this constituent a racist for not seeing that doesn’t actually further your cause. “White supremacy” is a term that’s full of disdain and politics. It’s not something that should be tossed out there for funsies, although “influencers” (cue, eye roll) seem to throw it around like unicorn poop. Certain liberals like to lob it at certain nonliberals as a way to stoke the fires of division—sorry, not sorry, I literally just could not help myself! Seriously, though, it’s a term that causes people who don’t agree with you to deliberately ignore what you have to say. No matter how correct you are. ∆ The Shredder is always correct. Always.

Ed Taylor would buy, sell, and trade records at swap meets. Through happenstance, Taylor met future business partner Glenn Forbes, who with a $750 investment bought into Boo Boo’s. They opened their first brickand-mortar location in 1974, in what was then the seedy part of town by the railroad station. It also included antiques and plants, as well as art and pottery created by their wives. “The shop was only 300 square feet,” Taylor said, “and I think we were paying $85 a month in rent. Four years later,

when we started talking about moving downtown, there was a heated discussion about whether or not we were selling out.” They did move downtown to Monterey Street, near their current location, and over the years the record store grew and grew. They opened another in Grover Beach and closed it many years later to focus on their SLO location, which in 2010 was named in Rolling Stone magazine among the top 25 Best Record Stores in the U.S. They were also listed in a Let’s Go California book.

Over the years, folks like Jeff Bridges, Lowell George (Little Feat), Joan Baez, Jonathan Richman (The Modern Lovers), Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Christina Applegate (Married… With Children), Jim Messina (Buffalo Springfield, Loggins & Messina), jazz icon Bill Frisell, and many other entertainment luminaries have patronized the store. Forbes sold his interest in the store years ago, as did Taylor, to Mike White, who was one of their first employees. Taylor still comes into the store every week to go over the vinyl section, but he now runs his own smaller record business specializing in used LPs and 45s, Back Room Vinyl, out of Pismo Pickers Antiques (537 Five Cities Drive). While big chains such as Wherehouse Music, Tower Records, and Sam Goody have been relegated to the dustbin of history, Boo Boo Records has survived and thrived thanks to White’s guidance and willingness to think outside the music store box.

Blinded by science

Sometimes a band’s bio says it all: “Some years ago, a young collective of extraterrestrials arrived on this planet and happened upon a small college town in Alabama. Home to both otherworldly jazz guru Sun Ra and rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, it is clear that Alabama is a direct linkage to outer space. In order to integrate into human society, these aliens would disguise themselves as a rock band, the perfect vehicle in which to traverse the globe and further their research. They would soon be known to the people of Earth as Man or Astro-Man?” Surf, punk, and space rock will collide when Man or Astro-Man? plays the SLO Brew Rock Event Center on Friday, Aug. 23 (8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $19 at slobrew.com).

Macho man

In the late ’80s, the hottest comic on the planet was Andrew Dice Clay and his alter ego, The Diceman—a brash, smarmy, offensive, and hilarious persona, who in 1990 became the first stand-up comedian to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row. Later that year, he starred in the film The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. He was also the only performer ever “Banned For Life from MTV.” This Saturday, Aug. 24, Andrew Dice Clay will hold court at Rava Winery Amphitheater (doors 6 p.m.; show from 7:30 to 10 p.m.; 21-and-older; $45 to $250 at my805tix.com). Special guest from Showtime’s Blue Comedy Special, Eleanor Kerrigan, will warm up the crowd. If you’re easily offended, go eff yourself!

It’s impossible to think of top-40 radio and MTV in the ’80s without thinking of ZZ Top and songs like “Legs,” “Got Me Under Pressure,” “Gimme All Your Lovin’,” and “Sharp Dressed Man.” Get ready to do the time warp when ZZ Top plays Vina Robles on Sunday, Keep up with New Times Senior Staff Aug. 25 (7 p.m.; all ages; $65 to $135 at Writer Glen Starkey via Twitter at twitter. vinaroblesamphitheatre.com). com/glenstarkey, friend him at facebook.

Nice Town, Normal People gives Arroyo Grande residents a space to feel heard

espite being on summer break, Arroyo Grande High School (AGHS) is bustling with activity on Aug. 9. A teen clutching a trombone runs toward his fellow summer band camp attendees. A cacophony of musical scales, stand-tune snippets, and clarinet squeaks fills the air in the quad. But upon entering the multipurpose room, the chaos outside is traded for soft piano notes. The space is minimally staged with a circle of classroom chairs facing one another. I find myself interrupting a rehearsal, but Kyle Berlin and Ashlin Hatch barely break character as they practice. Tonight, the duo will be performing Nice Town, Normal People, an original play about what it means to call Arroyo Grande home. Berlin and Hatch, who described themselves as “best friends in high school,” attended AGHS together and graduated in 2013. “We stayed in touch during college, and we would consistently talk about what we were learning about our hometown while we were away from it,” Hatch told New Times before the show. “Then the 2016 election happened, and it seemed like people were having a hard time having conversations about very important and urgent things. We wondered whether this style of theater-making ... could provide a structure within which people could start having these conversations.” Berlin decided to apply for a Davis Projects for Peace grant, which gives $10,000 to project proposals around the world that intend to promote peace. After successfully securing the grant, Berlin and Hatch joined forces with fellow AGHS alumus and musician Makulumy Alexander-Hills to bring their idea to life: Rhizome Theater Company was born. The first performance of Nice Town, Normal People, Berlin noted, was almost exactly two years ago in Arroyo Grande. Since then, the play has traveled across the country to places as far— and different—as Chicago and rural Maine, and now back to where it all began. “It feels emotionally grounded in a way I’ve not yet felt before,” Hatch said of being back where she first performed. The production takes its name from a slogan donned by T-shirts and coffee mugs at Cafe Andreini, a staple coffee house in Arroyo Grande Village. As simple and uncontroversial as it might sound, Nice Town, Normal People puts pressure on notions of normalcy in small-town America. The play’s lines are composed from 100 interviews with local community members, who express a wide range of views and emotions about calling Arroyo Grande home. As they perform, Berlin and Hatch stand in the center of the circle of chairs where audience members sit, re-enacting the thoughtfully strung-together lines from their interviews, or as they call it, the “collage of words.” They use just one prop, a ball of yarn that is slowly unraveled and crisscrossed throughout the production, resulting in a web of string that each audience member eventually holds.

Before the show begins, the marching band outside is faintly heard rehearsing “The Star Spangled Banner.” “There’s something meta about that,” Alexander-Hills said with a laugh. Though the play’s lines are constructed CAUGHT IN THE MOMENT Kyle Berlin (left) and Ashlin Hatch are captured in the midst of their Aug. 10 performance of Nice Town, Normal exclusively from People at Arroyo Grande High School. the words of Arroyo Grande residents, who don’t feel comfortable here, or who don’t it also addresses love it as much as they love it,” Berlin added. the more universal experiences and tensions “We want to move beyond that feeling of being that exist across small-town America. For some, threatened, and ask, how can we coexist? How tradition is what makes Arroyo Grande feel safe. do we make a shared home that works for But for others, the stagnant nature of places everybody?” like it means being stuck in a shameful past.

Despite their busy lives, the creative minds of Rhizome Theater Company have no intentions of disbanding, and they even have some new projects in the works. As for Nice Town, Normal People, they hope the local performances aren’t their last. “We hope to continue the work of this show in different communities nationwide, wherever people are willing to partner with us,” Berlin said. “Radical openness is our motto.” Δ

hen Niko Yaroslaski was just 16, he moved to New York City for the summer to dance ballet. Raised in Morro Bay, he went from a small-town upbringing to “living alone for six weeks,” he said in an interview. “It was really wild.” Now 20 and no longer a stranger to the city life, Yaroslaski recently moved to Portland, Oregon, to pursue professional ballet with Oregon Ballet Theatre, an achievement that most dancing hopefuls find elusive. Despite how competitive it can be to make it, Yaroslaski had his pick. “I had the choice to stay back at Ballet West, and then Ballet Austin I was thinking about going to, and there were other places I was thinking about auditioning to,” he said. It was at Ballet West, a Salt Lake City company he trained with on full scholarship for the last three years, where Yaroslaski fell in love with the prospect of dancing professionally in Portland. “Oregon Ballet Theatre came to the National Choreographic Workshop that Ballet West holds,” he said. “Just watching them work onstage and seeing how their dancers perform, I knew I would love to work for them.” While he is just getting settled into life as a professional dancer, Yaroslaski’s avidity for the art form started young. “I started dance when I was about 4,” he remembered. “My parents had this VCR recording of River Dance, and I would dance along to it when it was on the TV, so my mom put me into dance.” When he was 13, Yaroslaski started dancing with the Ballet Theatre in San Luis Obispo, and ballet quickly became PHOTO COURTESY OF KAREN CROLEY

his focus and passion. “After that, I moved to Academy of Dance when I was 15 or 16, and that’s when I started training more seriously,” he said. “I realized I wanted to do it as a job when I was 16, when I went to New York for the first time. That was my first look at what it would be like as a professional, and realized it was something I did want to pursue.” After experiencing dance studios on the Central Coast and in New York City, Seattle, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, and Kansas City, Yaroslaski emphasized how different ballet can look depending on where someone’s dancing or who they’re dancing for. “On the Central Coast it’s a lot more homey, and feels like everyone’s a family,” he said. “Everyone is trying to help you to get better, but also not everyone is looking to do it as a profession or as seriously. When I moved [to New York] it honestly became more brutal and cold, so it was more challenging and less family oriented.” The trade-off, Yaroslaski said, is that big-city companies are “all about getting you to that next step” in the industry. Ballet also can vary in how much it sticks to tradition, Yaroslaski said. “In certain companies more than others, for a male they are supposed to be more stiff, a lot more manly and muscular,” he said. “They’re supposed to lift the girls and show the girls. That’s good, but I feel like it should be changed so a man can express himself more with a feminine quality if he wanted to.” Many ballets that Yaroslaski performs were choreographed decades, even centuries, ago. “Everything is very oldschool in terms of gender roles. A male does this, a female does this,” he said. “It’s beautiful, and the story lines are stunning.” But Yaroslaski also sees the need for “some new works so that we aren’t just showing what’s not so relevant anymore.” Despite ballet’s traditional tendencies, Yaroslaski has no problem pushing back on gender norms in the industry. “I’ve actually danced on pointe a little bit myself,” he said of the dance shoe conventionally reserved for female ballerinas. It’s this freedom to express himself onstage that he thrives on. “All the emotions you can put out onstage, and the characters you can play, are just amazing,” he said. ∆

Forgetting Bernadette Editor’s note: Staff Writer Karen Garcia and Calendar Editor Caleb Wiseblood took over Split Screen while the Starkeys enjoyed the week off.

o-writer and director Richard Linklater (Slacker, Dazed and Confused, Waking Life, School of Rock, Boyhood) adapts Maria Semple’s novel to the big screen. Cate Blanchett stars as Bernadette Fox, who after years concentrating on being a good mother decides to reconnect with her creative passions, leading to an adventure that reinvents her life.

and a few close friends, including fellow architect Paul Jellinek (Laurence Fishburne). Bernadette’s relationship with her husband, Elgin (Billy Crudup), however, is in a constant flux, but never to the overly exaggerated point I think the film wants us to believe. And that’s where things get awkward. I haven’t even finished my popcorn yet and Elgin Caleb There’s really only one thing is already calling a therapist to help stopping me from calling Where’d You Go, initiate an intervention with Bernadette Bernadette perfectly mediocre, and that’s and encourage her to willingly admit Cate Blanchett’s nuanced performance to a psychiatric institution.

Bernadette her 15-year-old daughter, Bee (Emma used to be a rising architect in Los Nelson), proposes as a summer vacation Angeles, who could solve any design puzzle destination for the family. Bee is one of that landed in her lap. No project was the only people Bernadette can warm too big or too small. When her husband up to, along with her personal assistant got a gig with Microsoft and convinced from afar, Manjula (with whom she only Bernadette to move to Seattle, she sold communicates by email, but ironically her “20 Mile House” (it was made with opens up the most to in the process), material within 20 miles of the house). It was purchased by her hostile neighbor who quickly demolished it. She, of course, was torn up because of it and instead of working on creating designs, she decided to retire and become a mother. Four miscarriages later, she had Bee and made her daughter the focus of her life. So, fast forward to the present, and her husband is basically only faulting Bernadette for having a form of depression. Of course, Bernadette lost herself—I mean how can you completely hold it together when you’re growing apart from your partner, losing your creative juices, and are WHO’LL STOP THE RAIN?

or the actors, but it takes forever to get to that point in the story. It’s confusing because I believe the novel was going for borderline satire, and the film is just a borderline mess. Again, I’m not sure if it’s the acting or the writing, but the characters are just too melodramatic to me. For example, Bernadette’s annoying neighbor, Audrey (Kristen Wiig), who maintains a compost pile, has parents over while the neighborhood kids perform an “African dance,” and nags Bernadette about her outdated Victorian-style home. It just doesn’t make me laugh or cry, or anything for that matter. I think Where’d You Go, Bernadette was meant to be an emotional family drama with a dash of lighthearted sentiments and a pinch of mystery—but it lacked all of that. Caleb I actually wish it was a tad messier, to be honest. I would have appreciated more loose ends and quirky characters, even if they weren’t necessary to the big picture. Linklater is usually so good at capturing slice-of-life scenes (especially when they aren’t plot driven). And I think there were moments where that side of him shines, particularly during Bernadette’s exchanges with Bee (that part when it’s raining and they’re singing in the car is good, admit it!). But even those occasional sparks of genuine humanity can’t save the film from its rushed story and alltoo-convenient ending. Overall, Where’d You Go, Bernadette seems to be missing a

lot more than its title character. Again, I haven’t read the book, but apparently it’s told completely through emails, memos, and other correspondences. It would have been cool to see Linklater translate that kind of storytelling to film. Part of me appreciates his straightforward approach this time around, but some experimentation (maybe akin to the rotoscope animation technique he mastered with Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly) might have jazzed things up for the better. Karen I was just flat-out bored waiting for some kind of buildup that would lead to something grand. When the credits rolled, I accidentally said, “That’s it?” out loud. If the novel was told through emails and memos, the film would have been more interesting with that. It just felt like your average successful artist who had artist’s block and couldn’t communicate her feelings, so she ditched her responsibilities to figure herself out. But her lame-o husband put his blinders on and only thought about how her actions were affecting him. It’s just an overly played-out story we’ve seen over and over again with nothing special to add this time around.

GOOD BOYS What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Co-writer Gene Stupnitsky (Bad Teacher, The Office) directs this buddy adventure comedy, in which an invitation to a party with cool kids leads a group of goody-good sixth graders—Lucas (Keith L. Williams), Thor (Brady Noon), and Max (Jacob Tremblay)—to skip school, buy drugs, and sip beers. There’s one thing I’ve learned from the mainstream film industry: When nerds get invited to a party, they’ll do some crazy shit to get there. That’s apparently especially true if a crush is involved. It’s what we saw in Superbad (2007), when two longtime besties and obvious social outcasts spent their last few days of high school attempting to buy alcohol for a hot girl’s party. It’s what we saw in Booksmart (2019), when two inseparable and academically focused buds spent one of their last days of high school partying for the first time. And it’s what we see again in Good Boys, when three (plot twist) longtime best friends, who are, you guessed it, outcasts, spend their first few days of the sixth grade trying to prepare for their first ever “kissing party,” which I guess is just a party where spin the bottle is a focal point.

Good Boys is just the little boy version of Booksmart, and that Booksmart is just the girl version of Superbad, I loved it. I loved them all, OK?! Sue me! (Just kidding, please don’t.) Sure, Good Boys is just like every other classic buddy adventure comedy out there. We’ve got three adorably nerdy boys. One gets invited to a party with cool kids. His crush will be there. There will be kissing. These dweebs have obviously never kissed anyone, so they hurriedly attempt to research the topic. A plan to spy on a neighbor girl and her boyfriend using a parent’s wildly expensive drone goes awry when the drone is destroyed in oncoming traffic—an event that will certainly lead to a grounding, which means no party, which means no crush kissing. So the boys ditch school to buy a replacement drone before any parents are the wiser. This does not go as planned, and eventually the scheme devolves into our three cherubs selling a parent’s sex doll for drone money, crossing a busy freeway on foot, accidentally getting ahold of drugs, and then fighting drug dealing frat boys. And if you were wondering, there is in fact a fight and pouring out of emotions between the friends near the climax. We’ve seen it all before, but the good boys in Good Boys add something truly special to this particular bud movie. They’re so young, naive, and generally confused, and watching these 11-year-olds attempt to navigate the adult world is reminiscent of everyone’s experience as tweens. I still feel that way as an adult most of the time.

inexplicable crime, and Julian isn’t talking. Like the first season, each episode peels back another layer of the mystery. The first season was based on German crime writer Petra Hammesfahr’s novel of the same name, which favored distraction and misdirection to keep readers guessing. Both the first season and the second continue with these techniques, so I don’t want to reveal too much of the plot since a lot of the fun is being confused about where things are going. I can tell you that we discover Julian and his parents were residents of Mosswood, a cult-like commune run by Vera Walker (Carrie Coons). The reason Ambrose returned to Keller was to help Detctive Heather Novack (Natalie Paul), who we learn was in a relationship with Marin Calhoun (Hannah Gross), who had ties to Mosswood but disappeared shortly after she and Novack had a falling out 14 years earlier.

THE SINNER (SEASON 2)

SAN LUIS OBISPO

It’s twisty and turny stuff, and while the second season didn’t wrap up as neatly and clearly as season 1, leaving a lot of loose threads to ignore, it still offered great atmosphere, a compelling narrative, and excellent performances. Pullman is at his pensive best as Ambrose, who harbors dark secrets of his own. He understands that what compels people to commit crimes isn’t always simple or straightforward. While in Keller, Ambrose stays with his old friend Jack Novack (Tracy Letts), father to Detective Heather, and there’s something off about the old friends’ relationship as well. Nothing is as it appears on the surface. Letts is a terrific actor, and he portrays Jack as a complicated man. Henig is downright amazing as Julian. Despite his youth, he brings big, intricate emotions to his character. Coons, too, paints a character who’s inscrutable but compelling. The whole affair is dripping with intrigue! Like True Detective, each season is its own stand-alone mystery. If you like a good whodunit, check out The Sinner. Both seasons are a lot of fun, and the series has been renewed for a third season.

t’s Saturday, Aug. 3—the day of my best friend’s wedding—and I am standing in the center of the Moscow Kremlin. In every direction around me, I can see magnificent, centuries-old cathedrals adorned with golden domes. Seas of tourists maneuver in and out of each building. Somewhere around here, President Vladimir Putin is hanging out (if he’s home). I bask in the history and grandeur of this square. Here with me are about 10 of my friend’s family members, who invited me to take part in this special wedding-day Kremlin tour. I’m in Moscow because, well, my friend lives here. He’s a foreign correspondent for a major international news magazine. Believe it or not, his mom and dad were too, back in the day. While touring the Kremlin, his parents—pretty adorably, I will add— point out places where they used to cover government meetings. This was around the time the Soviet Union Communist Party collapsed in ’91, so it was high drama here all the time, they say. My friend/their son, Noah, was born in Moscow. He spent the first three years of his life here. The family would later relocate to California to raise their kids— and I practically grew up at their house. About six years ago, Noah’s journalistic path after college led him back to the country where it all began. It also led him to his Muscovite fiancee. Theirs is a beautiful love story, one we’ve been celebrating all week at delicious dinners, a river boat party, and other gatherings. At the Kremlin, it suddenly starts to rain. One of our tour guides, not older than 22, graciously lends me his umbrella and throws his sweatshirt hood over his head. For a tour guide, he’s been pretty quiet, but it’s understandable. He’s had friends arrested this week for attending the recent protests that have rocked the capital city. The government’s refusal to allow opposition party members to run in city elections has enraged Moscow residents—and they’re taking to the streets by the thousands. Young people,

especially, are fed up with the corruption of Putin’s Russia. But they’re paying a price for their resistance: Thousands were detained, many were beaten by police, and a handful of opposition leaders now face dubious charges related to the protests. It’s definitely not lost on me that on the day of our tour, locals would later hit the streets to protest the government that operates within these walls. Despite that tension in the air, the city feels quite safe to be in as a tourist. Streets are clean; people behave; transportation systems work; and the sites are beautiful. Moscow is an extremely well-functioning city—at least the parts I saw. In the week we were here, my friend Steven (another childhood bud) and I attempt to see as much as possible of the city, from Red Square, to museums, to Gorky Park. Moscow cityscapes and architecture are stunning. Every new block offers a different feast for the eyes, which conjures all kinds of historical feelings. The Moskva River that cuts through the heart of the city is another lovely feature, its bridges and walking paths making great outings. We return to our hotel after the Kremlin to get ready for the wedding. The rain clears up just in time for the ceremony. In a hotel courtyard, I get to witness one of my best friends get married. The reception afterward unites friends and family from across the world in celebration. In a swirl of joy and spritzers, I jump from interesting conversation to interesting conversation, appreciating that I may never attend a wedding quite like this again. The thought of going to Russia triggers knee-jerk paranoia in Americans. I’ll admit, I was nervous going in. We are fed a steady stream of fear by our politicians and media that paints it as a bad place, a foreign adversary, an enemy. While the geopolitical issues here are real, like any place in the world, Moscow is complex. Its people aren’t their government. And if I learned anything from my week there, it’s don’t judge any place until you’ve seen it yourself. Δ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson is encouraging Americans to visit Russia.

Apple discussion and a cafe meal— this is my kind of pairing. I learn I’m among other apple lovers in the room who have closely held childhood associations with apples. My family would drive us six kids in the Vanagon from the East Bay to Apple Hill in Placerville. There, we picked the apples straight off the trees, using tall basket poles that can only be described as lacrosse sticks. Afterward, we sat on hay bales, staring up at puffy clouds as we savored the sweet and tart caramel apples from the outdoor stand. A jug of apple cider was apportioned among us in Tupperware mugs before the drive back home. Some of my fellow apple lovers attending this lecture share that they grew up picking apples in the fall on the East Coast. I learn that that region’s apples may not be as flavorful as our local varieties, due to long, humid summers and oversaturation of rain. Of course East Coast soil contains different rocks than ours, and luckily for us, See Canyon is the perfect, moisture-rich growing region for apples. Mike Cirone, our professor on this veritable back-to-school day, is essentially

APPLE SEASON STARTS NOW Mike Cirone’s farmers’ market boxes will now offer oodles of apples—Pippins, Gravenstein, and Golden Delicious apples for homemade applesauce. Locals can also find apples that are great for longer storage, including the Gold Rush, Pink Lady, and Fuji.

“Apple Yoda.” As one of the original apple growers in SLO County, he’s as close as I’ve ever gotten to Adam and Eve’s original apple. Cirone grows more than 50 varieties of apples in See Canyon, a dizzying number of delicious types—from the Braeburn to the Empire to the diabeticfriendly Bellflower. During the lecture, Cirone shares that he weens his young trees off irrigation after a few years, then relies on dry farming, allowing rainwater to be their primary source of irrigation as they grow independent. Some of Cirone’s trees are more than 100 years old. He remembers a time when SLO apple land used to mingle with red strawberries, when just a handful of families were planting apple orchards— most notably for Cirone, Margaret DeVaul from the See Canyon Fruit Ranch, which was established 1894. “I kind of came along at the right time,” says Cirone, a SLO native. In 1983, he was fresh out of Cal Poly’s Fruit Science Program, and the historical apple region of See Canyon appealed to him. “They were all kind of tired of growing apples, and I was energetic,” he says. With a Cal Poly plum and peach project under his belt, he reached out to the established farmers and took on a conglomeration of hearty apple trees from one of the established families. “I got this great deal,” he remembers of his beginnings. “A full house and an orchard for a hundred bucks a month.” One of the attendees, a 72-year-old local, shares that she’s been visiting See Canyon orchards since she was 5. Her grandparents would buy cases of apples. “Most of the time they kept them for eating of course,” she says, “but my grandmother would can them.” Cirone goes on to describe the intricacies of the apple business—from what it takes to run such an operation (an endeavor he welcomes with the help of two orchard workers and maybe, one day, his son) to deciding which apples grow best in the See Canyon climate. All is dependent on a good winter chill, the right balance of moisture and heat, and meticulous care. “My son dabbles in cider,” he says. Regarding the cider craze of the last decade, Cirone is more about selling “fresh eating apples,” but he smiles wide when he tells us his son is motivating him to continue with distribution and wants to help.

APPLE APOSTLE A tireless worker, Mike Cirone personally sells every apple, nectarine, peach, and pear he grows. Before the Aug. 12 apple lecture at SLO Provisions, he had just returned from a long day at the Baywood Park Farmers’ Market in Los Osos.

Cirone believes his orchards can survive a drought and continue to produce fruit. He has good well water on his 125 acres, and he’s able to get top price for his product. As for planting new varieties, he’s not really interested. “We’re pretty happy right now with what I have,” he says. In late fall, Cirone Farms will have avocados, and by winter, he grows Satsuma mandarins and sweet, creamy white sapote (a citrus relative native to Central America and Mexico). Fall brings the first harvests of the early apples, then the mid-season varieties, and finally the late-season varieties. Late in the season, locals can get a taste of the Gold Rush apple, which Cirone says has the reputation of being an ugly, low-hanging apple on the outside but marvelous and surprising on the inside. Cirone teaches us the techniques he uses to fend off the literal worm in the

apple, aka the codling moth—sniper-like moves that involve pouncing on the larva with expensive certified organic spray at just the right time. We also learn that in order to grow apple trees in these parts, you can’t be lazy. You need to prune, prune, prune; thin those clusters of five to one or two (or else you’ll have sad little marbles on your trees); and make use of a cover crop such as bell beans.

Cirone mentions that in Washington, machines will be taking the place of pickers—no bell-bottom-wearing, lacrosse-stick wielding pickers in those orchards. Such a thing won’t ever happen at Cirone Farms. With so many varieties, the trees must be hand-picked, he says. The Apple Hill picker in me breathes a sigh of relief.

D INE ’N’ DISH Grateful Ghee

The shelves at SLO Provisions hold some of my favorite gourmet food products, from exotic salts to honeycomb, but I like to veer to the local corner. There you can find Grateful Ghee, organic ghee made from grass-fed (and grass-finished) local cows. The ghee is holistically made in small batches, using a low-heat butter clarification process that includes a secret ingredient, which is strained out so that it leaves behind the most wonderful, buttered popcorn tasting, pure ghee. I love the enhanced butter flavor of Grateful Ghee. I line my skillet with a thin layer to make my almond flour pancakes extra creamy and rich. I dip my shellfish in “the Grateful” for an extra-rich sauce. Another perk to buying Grateful Ghee is that the small, San Luis Obispo-based business donates $1 from every jar sold to supporting families and small businesses in Syria. An 8-ounce jar of Grateful Ghee is sold at SLO Provisions, 1255 Monterey St., SLO, for $15.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (805) 543-7088 or visit this Internet Web site http://eloandata.com, using the file number assigned to this case 42014. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Date: 8/1/2019. All American Foreclosure Service, 1363 Marsh Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 (805) 543-7088.

LegaL Notices ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: BRANDON LEE NEAL CASE NUMBER: 19PR - 0259

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 DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Goals for female participation in each trade: 6.9% These goals are applicable to all the Contractor’s construction work (whether or not it is Federal or federally assisted) performed in the covered area. If the contractor performs construction work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals established for such geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this second area, the contractor also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and nonfederally involved construction. The Contractor’s compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR part 60-4 shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the goals. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and the contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor’s goals shall be a violation of the contract, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR part 60-4. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed. 3.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Poet Muriel Rukeyser said, ‘The world is made of stories, not atoms.’ I’d add, ‘You are made of stories, too.’ What’s your favorite story that you’re made of? Freewillastrology.com

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): It’s not cost-efficient to recycle plastic. Sorting and processing the used materials to make them available for fresh stuff is at least as expensive as creating new plastic items from scratch. On the other hand, sending used plastic to a recycling center makes it far less likely that it will end up in the oceans and waterways, harming living creatures. So in this case, the short-term financial argument in favor of recycling is insubstantial; whereas, the moral argument is strong. I invite you to apply a similar perspective to your upcoming decisions.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sailors have used compasses to navigate since the 11th century. But that tool wasn’t enough to guide them. A thorough knowledge of the night sky’s stars was a crucial aid. Skill at reading the ever-changing ocean currents always proved valuable. Another helpful trick was to take birds on the ships as collaborators. While at sea, if the birds flew off and returned, the sailors knew there was no land close by. If the birds didn’t return, chances were good that land was near. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because I think it’s an excellent time to gather a number of different navigational tools for your upcoming quest. One won’t be enough.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): African-American slaves suffered many horrendous deprivations. For example, it was illegal for them to learn to read. Their oppressors feared that educated slaves would be better equipped to agitate for freedom and took extreme measures to keep them illiterate. Frederick Douglass was one slave who managed to beat the ban. As he secretly mastered the art of reading and writing, he came upon literature that ultimately emboldened him to escape his “owners” and flee to safety. He became one of the 19th century’s most powerful abolitionists, producing reams of influential writing and speeches. I propose that we make Douglass your inspiring role model for the coming months. I think you’re ready to break the hold of a certain curse— and go on to achieve a gritty success that the curse had prevented you from accomplishing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For 25 years, businessman Don Thompson worked for the McDonald’s fast food company, including three years as its CEO. During that time, he oversaw the sale and consumption of millions of hamburgers. But in 2015, he left McDonald’s and became part of Beyond Meat, a company that sells vegan alternatives to meat. I could see you undergoing an equally dramatic shift in the coming months, Gemini: a transition into a new role that resembles but is also very different from a role you’ve been playing. I urge you to step up your fantasies about what that change might entail.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “The learning process is something you can incite, literally incite, like a riot,” wrote author Audre Lorde. As an astrologer I would add this nuance: Although what Lourde says is true, some phases of your life are more favorable than others to seek deep and rapid education. For example, the coming weeks will bring you especially rich teachings if you incite the learning process now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The American idiom “stay in your lane” has come to mean “mind your own business,” and usually has a pejorative sense. But I’d like to expand it and soften it for your use in the coming weeks. Let’s define it as meaning “stick to what you’re good at and know about” or “don’t try to operate outside your area of expertise” or “express yourself in ways that you have earned the right to do.” Author Zadie Smith says that this is good advice for writers. “You have to work out what it is you can’t do, obscure it, and focus on what works,” she attests. Apply that counsel to your own sphere or field, Leo.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Yisrael Kristal was a Polish Jew born under the sign of Virgo in 1903. His father was a scholar of the Torah, and he began studying Judaism and learning Hebrew at age 3. He lived a long life and had many adventures, working as a candle-maker and a candy-maker. When the Red Army liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945, Kristal emerged as one of the survivors. He went on to live to the age of 113. Because of the chaos of World War I, he had never gotten to do his bar mitzvah when he’d turned 13. So he did it much later, in his old age. I foresee a comparable event coming up soon in your life, Virgo. You will claim a reward or observe a milestone or collect a blessing you weren’t able to enjoy earlier.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What do you want from the allies who aren’t your lovers? What feelings do you most enjoy while you’re in the company of your interesting, non-romantic companions? For instance, maybe you like to be respected and appreciated. Or perhaps what’s most important to you is to experience the fun of being challenged and stimulated. Maybe your favorite feeling is the spirit of collaboration and comradeship. Or maybe all of the above. In any case, Scorpio, I urge you to get clear about what you want—and then make it your priority to foster it. In the coming weeks, you’ll have the power to generate an abundance of your favorite kind of non-sexual togetherness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As the CEO of the clothes company Zappos, Sagittarius entrepreneur Tony Hsieh is worth almost a billion dollars. If he chose, he could live in a mansion by the sea. Yet his home is a 200-square-foot, $48,000 trailer in Las Vegas, where he also keeps his pet alpaca. To be clear, he owns the entire trailer park, which consists of 30 other trailers, all of which are immaculate hotbeds of high-tech media technology where interesting people live. He loves the community he has created, which is more important to him than status and privilege. “For me, experiences are more meaningful than stuff,” he says. “I have way more experiences here.” I’d love to see you reaffirm your commitment to priorities like his in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. It’ll be a favorable time to do so.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Medical researcher Jonas Salk developed a successful polio vaccine, so he had a strong rational mind. Here’s how he described his relationship with his non-rational way of knowing. He said, “It is always with excitement that I wake up in the morning wondering what my intuition will toss up to me, like gifts from the sea. I work with it and rely on it. It’s my partner.” I bring this up, Capricorn, because the coming weeks will be a favorable time to celebrate and cultivate your own intuition. You may generate amazing results as you learn to trust it more and figure out how to deepen your relationship with it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian environmentalist Edward Abbey once formulated a concise list of his requirements for living well. “One must be reasonable in one’s demands on life,” he wrote. “For myself, all that I ask is: 1. accurate information; 2. coherent knowledge; 3. deep understanding; 4. infinite loving wisdom; 5. no more kidney stones, please.” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, now would be an excellent time for you to create your own tally of the Five Crucial Provisions. Be bold and precise as you inform life about your needs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “We may be surprised at whom God sends to answer our prayers,” wrote author Janette Oke. I suspect that observation will apply to you in the coming weeks. If you’re an atheist or agnostic, I’ll rephrase her formulation for you: “We may be surprised at whom Life sends to answer our entreaties.” There’s only one important thing you have to do to cooperate with this experience: Set aside your expectations about how help and blessings might appear. ∆
