Grand View wants to evict tenants in lieu of paying for repairs

G

rand View Apartments owners claim that nonpayment from their tenants and an estimated $2.5 million in repair costs is leaving them no choice but to go out of business and kick out the residents.

Francisco Ramirez, a tenant at Grand View Apartments, told New Times he received a 60day termination of tenancy notice that took him by surprise.

“I was scared, and all of my neighbors started calling me. They were very anxious and afraid they would have no place to go and would have to live on the street,” Ramirez said. “Many of them are looking for somewhere else, but there aren’t a lot of apartments available for rent in Paso Robles.”

The owners, Ebrahim and Fahimeh Madadi, claim they are not evicting the tenants, according to court documents filed on Aug. 21.

They are notifying the tenants of their decision to go out of business and take the property off the rental market.

According to the documents, because Grand View is going out of business, the owners aren’t obligated to provide relocation benefits.

However, if tenants comply with the termination notice, the owners said they will refund security deposits in full.

Stephanie Barclay, the legal director for the San Luis Obispo Legal Assistance Foundation who’s representing the Grand View’s tenants in a lawsuit filed earlier this year over apartment conditions, said the eviction process always begins with a termination notice. After that time runs out, Barclay said, if a tenant stays on the property, the landlord has to file and serve the tenant with an unlawful detainer lawsuit, which a tenant has five days to respond to.

“Only the sheriff can enforce a court order evicting a tenant after the tenant has had an

Many tenants do not realize that the landlord must file and serve an eviction action and get an order from the court before they can legally evict,” she said.

Demonstration protests lack of protected bike lanes in SLO In the early morning hours of Aug. 28, anonymous San Luis Obispo bike advocates secretly installed temporary barriers on three city bike lanes, in a demonstration designed to highlight the lack of protected bikeways in SLO. Demonstrators placed dozens of plungers wrapped in reflective tape along busy stretches of South Higuera Street, Johnson Avenue, and Chorro Street to delineate car and bike lanes.

The purpose of the “guerrilla” demonstration—done on the two-year anniversary of the death of Kennedy Love, a Cal Poly student killed on his bike by a drunk driver—was to pressure city leaders to make more rapid improvements to SLO’s bike facilities, one organizer said.

“As the infrastructure is currently laid out, many people don’t feel safe getting on their bikes to do a simple commute or run an errand,” said the organizer, who asked to be anonymous because the demonstration was not city-sanctioned.

Within an hour of the barriers going up on Aug. 28, cars had “decimated” many of the

plungers, which were taped to the street, he said.

“We did not think these plungers would stand a chance against a car, just as we do not think paint on the ground will protect a cyclist,” he said. “Without the city installing some significant protections, it is only a matter of time before we see a cyclist crippled on the ground like these plungers.”

In response to the demonstration, SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon told New Times she supported the protest as long as it didn’t jeopardize safety.

She said she’s in favor of improving the city’s bike infrastructure, but that barriers include high costs and neighborhood opposition.

“I am 100 percent on board with their vision for what they want to see in SLO,” Harmon said.

“I would encourage them to keep it up.”

SLO’s recent efforts at developing protected bike lanes have proven costly and time consuming. In 2018, after multiple years of discussion, the city approved plans for a protected bikeway that will connect downtown with Foothill Boulevard. It faced intense opposition from neighborhoods and will cost $2 million.

Bike advocates say protecting the city’s bike lanes doesn’t have to be so difficult.

VIEWER DISCRETION

by Jayson Mellom The unofficial results showed that out of a total 1,992 vote-by-mail ballots, 1,551 voted in favor of a special tax and 440 voted against it.

The proposed parcel tax, which won’t go into effect for another year, would cost residents $180 per year per parcel— adjusted annually for inflation and capped at 2 percent—and would generate $486,000 each year for the department.

The funds will go toward improving emergency response times, maintaining local fire protection, recruiting and retaining professional firefighters, and providing 24/7 staffing instead of the current nine hours per day.

White previously told New Times the proposed parcel tax was the department’s last hope as the SLO County Board of Supervisors had rejected its request for aid.

Advisory Council opposes cannabis grow near Nipomo school

A local agricultural company wants to grow cannabis on a 29-acre lot in Nipomo, but the project is facing scrutiny because of its proximity to an elementary school.

At its meeting on Aug. 26, the South County Advisory Council discussed the proposed grow, which would be run by Nipomo Ag LLC and include a 22,000-squarefoot space for indoor cannabis cultivation, a 78,122-square-foot commercial nursery, and 35,328 square feet of space for the processing and export of cannabis products.

Although the project would be located in a low-density agricultural area at 662 Eucalyptus Road in Nipomo, community members are raising concerns about its location, which is about a half-mile from Dorothea Lange Elementary School. After considering various public comments and letters opposing the project, the Advisory Council voted against it, according to Vice Chair Kevin Beauchamp.

“On this project, we recommended denial due mainly to odor issues and its close proximity to residences and Dorothea Lange School,” Beauchamp wrote in an email to New Times.

The Advisory Council’s recommendation will now go to the San Luis Obispo County Planning Commission. If the commission’s decision gets appealed, the Board of Supervisors would ultimately decide the fate of the project.

While some Nipomo area residents are vehemently opposed to the cannabis project, Jim Empey, assistant superintendent of business at Lucia Mar Unified School District, said the district is strictly worried about the safety and learning environment for students and staff at Lange Elementary.

As a publicly funded agency, Empey said the district can’t take an official stance on cannabis. The district’s main concern, he said, is that odor from the proposed grow could become distracting for students and staff on campus.

Cannabis products are illegal on school campuses, and teachers and administrators are trained to be on the lookout for the substances. If the smell from a nearby grow wafts onto campus, it might put staff on high alert, he said, or make it more difficult to sniff out prohibited products.

But Empey said the cannabis cultivation would be carried out mostly indoors, and the project proposal included an odor mitigation plan. All mature plant areas will be equipped with a Vapor-Phase Odor Neutralization System specifically designed to react with cannabis and eliminate offsite odor, according to the project description. The system will be suspended from exterior walls of all structures containing mature plants in an effort to hamper the odor.

The project is also more than 1,000 feet away from the school—the minimum setback required by law—so as long as everything is up to code and the odor is kept under control, “then our kids should be fine,” Empey said.

But some community members say the odor management plan isn’t enough.

Nipomo resident Tacy Lee wrote in a letter to the South County Advisory Council that the Vapor-Phase Odor Neutralization System has not been proven effective. The “skunk” odor will be distracting to students and teachers at Lange Elementary, Lee wrote, and regardless of the smell, students and parents will have to travel past the grow on the way to and from school.

“It is not acceptable for kids to walk past a cannabis grow on their way to school,” Lee wrote. “What is the message we are sending to these impressionable youngsters?”

Paso groundwater basin included in hightech Stanford study

A pair of upcoming North County groundwater studies are expected to shed new light on the hydrogeological conditions of two key water sources in the region.

The Paso Robles Groundwater Basin is one of three basins in the state chosen to participate in a Stanford University study that will deploy state-of-the-art aerial electromagnetic technology to better understand its characteristics.

Over five days in October, a low-flying helicopter equipped with scientific instruments will zig-zag over the rural areas of Creston, Shandon, and Whitley Gardens. A device attached to the helicopter that looks like a large hoop will transmit a weak electromagnetic field and collect detailed data about the aquifer to depths of 1,500 feet below ground.

The results of the 497-mile flight will offer “a more complete picture” of the basin, according to an Aug. 13 SLO County staff report. It will help experts “better understand where groundwater occurs and flows” and be used to refine the basin’s hydrogeologic model. The data could also help officials identify the best locations for groundwater recharge projects.

The pilot study is a partnership between Stanford, the California Department of Water Resources, Denmark’s Ministry of Environment and Food, and the three participating local agencies. The local agencies are SLO County, Butte County, and the Indian Wells Water District in Kern County.

The Paso basin, which serves most of North County agriculture, is in critical overdraft, according to the state. The

6 • New Times • August 29 - September 5, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

county Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the basin’s participation in the study on Aug. 13. The project is expected to cost $2 million, but SLO County’s portion totals $200,000.

“The Paso basin is fortunate to be the third area selected,” county staff said in their report. “This innovative technology will collect groundwater basin data, which would have taken years, in just a few days. This could change the way the state is looking at groundwater basins.”

Also on Aug. 13, SLO County supervisors approved entering a partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to study the groundwater conditions of the Adelaida area, adjacent to the Paso basin.

That area is not officially defined as a basin, and its hydrogeology and water levels are less understood. But increased vineyard development throughout the region has raised concerns among landowners.

In its study, the USGS will spend one year compiling and reviewing the existing Adelaida groundwater data. That will cost about $64,000. Supervisors will then decide whether to approve the USGS’s investigation of new data sources and analyses, which would be considerably more expensive.

The results of the USGS study could serve as the scientific backbone for an ordinance to regulate well drilling or water use out of the Adelaida groundwater area.

Special election results look promising for Templeton fire services

A majority of Templeton residents voted to fund their fire and emergency services department, according to the unofficial election results posted by the SLO County Clerk’s office on Aug. 27.

Templeton Fire Chief Bill White told New Times via email that when he saw the unofficial results, he was overwhelmed with emotion and pride for his community.

“So many people had a hand in educating the public on our funding challenges, and last night’s results showed the education efforts and hard work paid off,” White said on Aug. 28.

Once the election is certified, he said, fire and emergency services will move forward with creative ways to strengthen the department.

Tuesday Farmers’ Market revived after moving to new location

Just a few months ago, San Luis Obispo’s Tuesday Farmers’ Market had dwindled to the point that only about five vendors were still participating. Since starting up at a new location in June, the market’s vendors have more than doubled, and business is booming.

The market moved from its old location at the Guild Hall, where it had operated for several years, to outside Farm Supply at 224 Tank Farm Road on June 4, according to Mary White, the former manager of the Tuesday market and current selfproclaimed “cheerleader” for it.

Vendors and customers at the Guild Hall location on Broad Street faced a number of challenges, White said, including a lack of protection from wind, parking issues, and its proximity to four lanes of heavy traffic.

At one time, there were roughly 20 vendors consistently working the market, but White said they slowly stopped showing up.

“Once it started to shrink, customers stopped coming,” she said. “I did everything I could—advertising, radio, print.”

When it became clear that the market either needed to die out or shake things up, White said one vendor contacted Farm Supply, because the store had been considering starting its own farmers’ market. The store agreed to partner up, and so far, the new location has been a good fit.

There’s more parking, it’s less crowded, and the traffic in that area is less hectic, White said. There are trees, it’s a nice environment, and White said the store itself has a steady stream of customers, many of whom shop the market on the way in or out of the store.

The new market manager, Jeff Nielsen, is a farmer himself, and roughly 20 vendors work the market each Tuesday from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., serving some hot food—tamales and soups—and selling vegetables, exotic fruits, cheese, honey, various meats, and coffee.

Dwelling on housing Some SLO County cities are trying to encourage residents to build accessory dwelling units, but is it working?

I

f you know anything about housing in California, you know the situation is bleak.

According to the statewide housing assessment, “California’s Housing Future: Challenges and Opportunities,” production of new homes across the state averaged fewer than 80,000 homes each year over the last 10 years—far below the projected need of 180,000 new homes annually.

While the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development considers housing to be affordable when a person pays no more than 30 percent of his or her income toward housing costs, a majority of California renters use far more than 30 percent of their income for rent. Nearly one-third use more than 50 percent of their income for rent.

San Luis Obispo County isn’t immune to the issue, and the increasing need for local affordable housing was outlined in a grand jury report released on June 20, which identified the many challenges that residents earning low and moderate wages face when attempting to find housing in SLO County.

The news wasn’t all bad. The grand jury highlighted a few bright spots in the ominous housing situation locally, including the push for accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The state has been working to make it easier to build ADUs for the past few years, and the grand jury said in its report that some SLO County cities, including Paso Robles and Grover Beach, are taking it a step further by lowering or waiving some permit fees altogether.

“So the state has really been promoting this as a way that cities can increase affordable housing,” said Bruce Buckingham, community development director for Grover Beach.

The Grover Beach City Council voted to waive development impact fees for ADUs in fiscal year 2018-19, a change that went into effect in July 2018 and was recently re-approved for fiscal year 2019-20, Buckingham said. The decision is in line with recent changes in state law surrounding ADUs—cities can no longer charge water and sewer fees for ADU developments, and the parking requirements are less restrictive.

An ADU is a smaller, independent dwelling unit located on the same lot as another single-family home, and city and state officials say the units could become part of a greater solution to California’s housing crisis. The lower permit costs for ADUs allow developers and homeowners to build with little extra cash, and ADUs add to the housing supply without using up land and creating sprawl.

While Buckingham said each city has unique development impact fees, and the fees charged are specific to each development, Grover Beach typically charges more than $15,000 in development impact fees for a single-

family home. He said that ADUs are more like mobile homes, though, which usually cost about $4,000 in impact fees.

With the fees waived altogether, applicants see more than a two-thirds reduction in fees paid for securing a building permit for the construction of an ADU, according to the grand jury report on affordable housing.

Buckingham said the city hopes these reductions and the state changes will lead to more interest in accessory dwelling units. According to Associate Planner Janet Reese, Grover Beach only approved permits for five ADUs in fiscal year 201819. That’s a step up from the single ADU permit that was approved the year before, and no permits were approved in the two years before that.

Paso Robles has also seen a slight rise in ADU permits, according to City Planner Darren Nash. The city approved eight ADUs in 2018.

Although the grand jury report on affordable housing stated that both Grover Beach and Paso waived development impact fees for ADUs, Nash said that’s not entirely true. Paso recently restructured its fee system, Nash said, making it somewhat cheaper to snag a permit for an ADU, but development impact fees still exist.

Krista Jeffries, a Grover Beach resident and founder of the SLO County YIMBYs, a group that advocates for increased housing supply, said ADUs are a particularly useful tool in battling the housing shortage because they make good use of existing infrastructure without substantial impact.

While she said Grover Beach is headed in the right direction on ADUs, she hasn’t seen the city advertise or inform the public of the option. The city should reach out to its homeowners directly, she said, to tell them about ADUs, the permitting process, and the waived impact fees.

And despite Grover’s extra push for ADU development, San Luis Obispo has seen a much more significant spike in ADU construction applications. SLO approved three ADU permits in 2015, according to the city. That jumped to 40 in 2018.

But only so much can be done to encourage ADU construction.

“The trouble with ADUs is they’re only a viable option for those with an extra couple grand in the bank,” Jeffries wrote in a text to New Times, “and they can’t go upward to the scale our cities need in order to grow local businesses and increase the supply of housing in a meaningful way.” ∆ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@newtimesslo.com.

… Cities can no longer charge water and sewer fees for ADU developments, and the parking requirements are less restrictive.

Concerned parents Some San Luis Coastal parents speak out against the state’s recent vaccine laws Editor’s note: The sources in this story are identified by first names only to protect their privacy, at their request.

A

handful of parents showed up to the Aug. 20 San Luis Coastal Unified School District board meeting to speak out against a vaccine bill that was recently introduced in the state Legislature, Senate Bill 276.

Nicole is one of those parents. She has two children who have both gone through the recommended vaccination schedules without any adverse side effects that she’s aware of.

“I was one of those people who had trust in doctors and did what, you know, I’m supposed to do,” she said.

Nicole said she didn’t question her doctors or the statewide regulations on vaccines until 2015 when SB 277 went into effect. The law eliminated the option for parents to claim personal belief exemptions for their children—an exemption from vaccinations if getting them contradicts the guardian’s religious or spiritual beliefs.

Now, with the introduction of SB 276—a bill that would prohibit an unvaccinated student from attending school unless their physician files an electronic statement and medical report into a statewide database—Nicole said it feels like the government is forcing her to get her kids vaccinated.

“So I started my research, and holy shit. What I learned, it just tore me apart,” she said.

Nicole has two major concerns (among many): the difficulty of using the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 and the lack of routine testing for side effects of FDA-approved vaccines.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 established the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program as a federal no-fault compensation system for individuals who may have been injured by certain vaccines. The act also established a program to direct vaccine research and development within the federal government; ensure the production of safe and effective vaccines; direct the distribution and use of vaccines; and coordinate government and nongovernment activities.

“So the pharmaceuticals have zero input, they have zero liability. It’s all on the government, and our tax dollars are paying for this program,” Nicole said.

“They say it was set up so that it was an easy way to compensate parents, but in fact it’s extremely challenging.”

She feels that it’s morally wrong for the government to make parents vaccinate their children for illnesses that once were epidemics, such as polio. Nicole wants to know where the controlled studies are that look into the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines now.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, vaccines

go through many years of safety and effectiveness testing, including lab tests and clinical trials with volunteers who get vaccinated. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) looks at the results of the tests and decides whether to license the vaccine for use.

The Department of Health and Human Services also monitors a vaccine’s safety after it gets recommended to the FDA. Once vaccines are licensed, they are monitored for possible side effects.

There are several systems that track the safety of vaccines in the United States, including the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS).

VAERS is a national surveillance program run by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the FDA that detects early warning signs of possible safety issues with vaccines.

According to VAERS, it receives about 30,000 reports each year. Of those reports, about 85 to 90 percent of the reports describe mild side effects such as fever, arm soreness, and crying or mild irritability. The rest of the reports are classified as serious, resulting in permanent disability, hospitalization, lifethreatening illness, or death. According to VAERS, “while these problems happen after vaccination, they are rarely caused by the vaccine.”

Danielle, who spoke to New Times after the Aug. 20 school board meeting, is a registered nurse. She said she’s witnessed the effects of different vaccines in patients and her own children.

She said her son was on the recommended vaccination schedule, but she would spread out the time between shots.

“He got the Prevnar vaccine [used to prevent pneumococcal disease], and when we got home he went limp and his eyes rolled to the back of his head. You could say he went to sleep, but I’ve seen kids have seizures before, and it was a mild seizure,” Danielle said.

Before that personal experience with her child, she said she saw both sides of the issue—why some parents don’t trust vaccines and the government’s strong influence on regulation as well as a doctor’s advice to recommend vaccination.

Danielle said she spoke during public comment at the school board meeting because she wanted to educate the board on SB 276, some of the questionable ingredients (traces of aluminum and mercury) in vaccines, and how these regulations will affect unvaccinated children in her community.

“It really is up to them to decide to kick out all these kids. We’re hoping to get their support,” she said.

Assistant Superintendant Kimberly McGrath told New Times that the district adheres to the law, so if SB 276 passes, “We are obligated to follow it.”∆

Industry in flux

I

t hasn’t been easy, but San Luis Obispo Tribune Editor Joe Tarica said he’s learned to roll with the punches when it comes to leading a newsroom in today’s media industry.

Like many local newspapers across the country, San Luis Obispo County’s McClatchy-owned daily has seen its editorial staff shrink, its print circulation decline, many of its operations outsourced or regionalized, and its focus shift to digital platforms.

“It’s just an evolving process,” said Tarica, a 26-year Tribune veteran who’s helmed the paper since 2017. “There were a lot of hard decisions that had to be made across the industry.”

In the last decade, The Trib moved to smaller offices in SLO, closed the offices of its sister weekly paper, The Cambrian, shut down the Morro Bay Sun-Bulletin, and has been hit with multiple rounds of layoffs. Most recently, the paper announced that it will stop publishing a Saturday print edition starting in November.

“It’s really kind of our first foray into this,” Tarica said of the Saturday decision. “[McClatchy’s] starting with the smaller papers. ... We’re keeping Sunday because it’s just the biggest day of the week. The intention is to maintain the weekday [papers].”

These changes are tough pills to swallow, Tarica said. But they’re also common in an industry that’s seen advertising revenues decline by more than 70 percent since 2005, according to the Pew Research Center. The internet and its countless platforms for advertisers continue to impact the news industry and reshape journalism.

Since The Tribune’s heyday in the ’90s, Tarica estimated the paper’s lost at least half of its reporters and editors. He said it could’ve been worse.

“The key is the staff, the on-the-ground people here going out and getting stories.

And it’s how do you protect that?” Tarica said.

The Tribune’s not alone on the Central Coast in facing these challenges. In 2016, Lee Enterprises, another national newspaper chain, closed the Times PressRecorder, which served the Fives Cities area of South SLO County. That paper published twice a week (weekly starting in 2008) for 129 years.

Lee continues to print the Santa Maria Times six days per week, and the Lompoc Record and Santa Ynez Valley News twice a week. Times Publisher Cynthia Schur and Managing Editor Marga Cooley didn’t return requests for an interview.

North SLO County is served by two News Media Corporation weekly publications: the Paso Robles Press and Atascadero News. Those papers’ staffs have declined in recent years—they now share two reporters and an editor.

Upstart community ventures like the Paso Robles Daily News, the A-Town Daily News, the Santa Ynez Valley Star, and the Estero Bay News have tried to fill some of these gaps. The Paso and Atascadero Daily News websites, started in 2012 by Scott Brennan, are community bulletin boards of sorts, publishing community news, events, press releases, and announcements.

Brennan said he got the idea for the websites while publishing a SLO County Visitor’s Guide.

“I noticed that I’d get press releases with tons of news and information from nonprofits, local organizations, clubs, and government agencies,” Brennan said. “I saw nobody’s running this stuff. It’s going unnoticed.”

Journalism

on the move

Fewer local newspapers, more online content, and a traditional funding model in question

BY NEW TIMES STAFF

N

ewspapers are dead. It’s a familiar refrain ringing in the ears of journalists across the country. But they aren’t dead, yet. Well, actually, some newspapers are, in fact, dead. But some are still going strong, while others are struggling to fit in with a digital-first world, and still others are turning the traditional model on its head.

Journalism is morphing daily, but what does it mean for you, the local news consumer?

For some Central Coast communities, it’s meant that truly local news is hard to come by—and unbiased, accurate information about local governments and public policy doesn’t really exist. The newspapers that once did things like send reporters to attend local City Council meetings are gone, and other news media outlets haven’t filled in the space left behind. Residents are left to their own devises, searching the internet for the information they seek.

But the news about news isn’t all dim and dark.

Our staff writers fill you in on the local news industry, the changing shape of journalism, and what it means for local governance and the future.

—Camillia Lanham

publisher, has focused on Los Osos, Morro Bay, and Cayucos to fill information gaps. This year, Sullivan launched Estero Bay News in the wake of Simply Clear Marketing shutting down its Tolosa Press publications, including the SLO City News, Bay News, and Coast News community papers.

Sullivan’s newest venture is a bimonthly publication “dedicated to covering the stories that make this community special—local business, schools, news, organizations, and the strong threads that bind our community,” according to the Estero Bay News website.

While the local news industry continues to cope with the changing times, Tarica said it’s as important as ever for community members to support local journalism through readership, subscriptions, or advertising.

“It’s more important now than it ever was,” Tarica said. “It’s really kind of sad that at a time when the threat to information and democracy is at its highest ... that that’s the time when we have a smaller staff. That’s not good.

Anything you lose now from this point— whether it’s one reporter or you’re talking about entire organizations going out of business and creating news deserts—it’s just many times worse.”

—Peter Johnson

Shifting platforms

W

ith more and more print news publications using other platforms to reach their audience, news industry trade associations and higher education institutions are starting to shift their focus from print to digital news distribution.

The California News Publishers Association (CNPA) is a nonprofit association that represents daily, weekly,

10 • New Times • August 29 - September 5, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

monthly, and campus newspapers statewide. Traditionally, the association has a contest every year where the various news publications can submit their articles for consideration for awards in categories such as breaking news, feature stories, and in-depth reporting, to name a few.

In last year’s contest, for the first time CNPA added a contest for digital-only publications and allowed print members with websites to enter digital content into the contest.

Joe Writ, who heads CNPA’s news department and its California Press Foundation, said the contest was the nonprofit’s way of recognizing that a substantial number of publications are moving to digital platforms.

In San Luis Obispo, The Tribune is removing its Saturday print edition, putting the content in an online-only format, and incorporating some of that content into Sunday’s paper.

“What they’re doing, which is not really surprising, is persuading people to consume the information on the device they’re more comfortable with,” Writ said.

Creating content for an online audience is now part of the journalism programs at both Cal Poly and Cuesta College in order to provide students with a versatile set of reporting tools. Cal Poly professor Patrick Howe said he’s technically a multimedia instructor, but he teaches the advanced reporting course. That course used to focus on the university’s student newspaper, Mustang News. Now, it’s one of two practicum courses that all students— whether their emphasis is public relations, broadcast, or editorial—have to take. Students create content through the course that’s dispersed throughout the university’s Mustang News Media Group: Mustang News, KCPR-FM, and Mustang News TV. The content always circles back

Ca to being able to fit an online format.

“We don’t really train people with the idea that they’ll be print reporters,” no est Howe said. fu While that may be the case, he said it doesn’t dampen the enthusiasm of his ha students. If they want to become print journalists, they’re likely to get a job and, op off from what he’s seen, be successful. loc Howe said his concern is that the rob career ladder that was once laid out for Sa him doesn’t really exist anymore. So students learn to write content for online, a s write stories for broadcast, produce news an segments for the student radio, or create po news content for social media pages. hy Ironically, or maybe optimistically, he Mo said more people are consuming more news lef than ever. ne “People still want what we sell; they don’t want it in the form that makes us com any money,” Howe said. con He feels there isn’t a workable business loc model for print news publications. The as argument to move online is that at some tru point the money that news media can an make via the internet will outweigh the rep money being made from print—but few local papers have had success with that. of “By moving back from being platform rea specific, you actually could get a lot more energy, vitality, and immediacy. ap So I guess I’m torn, because in some lon ways journalism is more interesting and nu exciting to digest if it’s done well,” he said.

Cuesta College started to revise its gr journalism curriculum about two years loc ago, according to Madeline Medeiros, the tim dean of academic affairs for the college’s arts, humanities, and social sciences. dr The first thing it did was change the name of the program from journalism to lik journalism and digital communications. ch Medeiros said the program has added tal new courses, such as a photo and video a$ class, graphic design, and a course on social media and data visualization. The latter su class allows students to use social media Ne sites—Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or un Snapchat—to find and report stories. op “They consider the impact of social am media on news media and its relationship com with political and social justice issues,” con she said.

Mc The department’s decision to change the the program name and add digital-focused courses was done in an effort to appeal to sti more students. pe “We would like more students to get som into our journalism program because nu we think it’s more important than ever ev before,” Medeiros said. “We don’t want to do exclude any type of journalism, and we the want to make sure our students know all Bu the avenues and various ways that they rea can work in that field.” ev —Karen Garcia an fun An alternative model Vo n their major report, “The the Reconstruction of American Journalism,” Leonard Downie Jr. and to Michael Schudson describe worsening the conditions not just for journalism, but what it contains. in “What is under threat is independent Bu reporting that provides information, div investigation, analysis, and community knowledge, particularly in the coverage of do local affairs.” sa Published nearly a decade ago in lux the Columbia Journalism Review, the paper describes the evolving business of no sa journalism, drawing a stark portrait of uncertainty for the future.

I

Cal Poly Journalism Department.

But since the publication of the report, nonprofits—national and local—have established roots and sustainable funding sources.

National investigative site ProPublica has grown its presence, initially as an open-source wire service, and it now offers targeted partnerships to bolster local investigative reporting, including robust efforts in Alaska and Chicago.

Sacramento-based CalMatters boasts a staff of 25 reporters and a $5 million annual budget dedicated to covering policy and politics in California. Smaller, hyper-local outlets such as Voices of Monterey Bay exist too, filling vacancies left by extinct or shrunken city and neighborhood papers.

These nonprofit newsrooms share some commonalities: They produce online content and don’t depend on generating local daily news. They’ve cut out the costs associated with print, namely distribution trucks and people to drive them, paper, and getting printed. Their focus is on the reporting.

Kathy McKenzie, an editor at Voices of Monterey Bay, said that’s what her readers want.

“We have more of a magazine approach,” she said. “We’re doing a lot of long-form articles so we can get into the nuance and big picture of Monterey Bay.” The website emerged in 2017 when a group of reporters from the floundering local daily wanted to re-commit to less timely public-service journalism.

So far, she said, the response has been dramatic.

“We’ve been very fortunate that people like what we’re doing, and we just receive checks in the mail,” she said. “We’re not talking big amounts, maybe $50 here and a $100 there, but it adds up.”

The news website got its start with support from the Institute for Nonprofit News (INN), the umbrella organization under which Voices of Monterey Bay operates as a nonprofit. INN also offers a match program each November, committing to match, dollar for dollar, each contribution Voices of Monterey Bay raises.

McKenzie said they pulled in $48,000 with the INN’s help last November.

McKenzie said she and her colleagues still have a long way to go. They have four permanent staff, four columnists, and sometimes six freelancers, though the number fluctuates. But McKenzie said not everyone gets paid. Two staff members don’t accept payment, she said, investing their time in a mission they believe in.

But the excitement they’ve stoked in readers makes McKenzie optimistic that, eventually, everyone will get a paycheck.

Marcia Parker, a board member at INN and the publisher of CalMatters, said fundraising isn’t just about the money.

Voices of Monterey Bay, CalMatters, and the 198 other INN members are helping to promote the nonprofit news model.

“They’re doing national marketing of the national news model,” she said.

Parker hopes that number will double in short order, possibly by the end of 2020.

But she stressed the importance of a diverse group of funding sources.

CalMatters was built on wealthy donors cutting generous checks, Parker said, but not all nonprofits have that luxury. The Sacramento-based media nonprofit has since branched out. Parker said it does events, gets some ad revenue from newsletters, has signed up 1,200 members who contribute regularly, and is always on the lookout for new grant opportunities. CalMatters recently began a new project called the California Divide, funded by a $500,000 grant from the Irvine Foundation and The GroundTruth

Project’s Report for America program. It’s a two-year program that Parker expects will employ four reporters.

“We don’t consider ourselves investigative, we consider ourselves explanatory. We do have some investigative capacity,” she said, “but we’re really public-policy driven.”

With that reporting, CalMatters has amassed 188 media partners who use its content free of charge.

Less local news

P

eople still read local newspapers religiously when Carlyn Christianson was just starting out as a public official in San Luis Obispo.

That was in the early 2000s, when people read the paper first thing in the morning with breakfast, or fingered through a few pages while waiting on a latte at a coffee shop. That, she said, or people watched the news on TV during dinner.

Since then, things have changed dramatically.

Christianson, now a SLO City Council member, said residents come to meetings with information they’ve discovered on all kinds of platforms, from Nextdoor to advocacy organization websites. These sources aren’t always trustworthy, Christianson said, and the information isn’t always factual.

“So part of it is that it’s not fact-based,” she said, “but part of it is that it’s just not similar enough to have a conversation. ...

There is no common ground to start from

“I think we’re still in a transition period where people are getting more sophisticated about news,” she said.

Some people still believe almost anything they see online, and Christianson said residents often come to City Council meetings with concerns that are based on misinformation from obscure sources. A lot of effort goes into dismantling rumors and false perceptions, she said.

It’s also getting harder to keep people interested in complex topics, so the city is working to create concise staff reports that omit difficult-to-understand jargon. The city, she said, is also doing more outreach work online and via social media.

Similar work is being done in South County, where local news coverage has dwindled significantly in recent years. The Times Press-Recorder, a community weekly dedicated to Five Cities coverage, closed in May 2016 after declines in advertising revenue.

The Adobe Press, which served Nipomo, suffered the same fate.

Pismo Beach City Manager Jim Lewis said those closures were big losses to the community. There are still several local news outlets that cover SLO County as a whole, but Lewis said there isn’t as much focus on South County issues and residents.

“That means society is less aware of what’s going on in their backyard,” he told New Times.

That hasn’t changed how government runs in Pismo Beach, Lewis said, and he’s not sure it’s led to any less engagement GRAPHIC BY ALEX ZUNIGA

anymore, and that is really, really, really problematic.”

The way news is gathered and disseminated has changed drastically over the last two decades.

While the increasingly popular news- and opinion-sharing spaces of the internet and social media make it easier than ever to find and spread information, it’s only becoming more challenging to separate fact from fiction.

The changes to the news landscape haven’t been easy for the newspaper business, and it’s been especially hard on local outlets, many of which have had to cut costs by reducing staff, pages, and printing days—or closing down completely.

That trend is changing the way the general public interacts with local governments and politicians across the nation. Studies suggest that a lack of local news coverage is associated with lower voter turnout, less-engaged public officials, and less-informed voters.

In San Luis Obispo, Chistianson said the conversations surrounding city policies have changed.

from constituents. The city, however, is working harder than ever to get the word out about events and policy changes.

Pismo Beach has retooled its newsletter, Lewis said, and increased its social media activity. And public officials do more in-person community engagement work—attending meetings, walking neighborhoods, and hosting forums.

Lewis also said the city is putting more effort into ensuring that residents have factual information. Anyone with internet access can publish whatever they want online, and Lewis said that’s the real threat.

“I do worry,” he said, “that traditional media as we know it will be no longer.”

Rebuilding trust

T

he public’s trust in the media hit a low point around the 2016 presidential election, during which time the term “fake news” became ingrained in the U.S. vocabulary. Accusations of biased reporting continue to persist, but trust in journalism, and specifically local reporting, is beginning to recover.

According to a survey the Poynter Institute conducted in 2018, 54 percent of the 2,000 participants said they have a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in the media. This is an increase from the 32 percent of respondents who said they felt the same way about the media in 2016.

While those numbers take into account all forms of news—including print, television, and radio—trust is even higher among local newspapers. According to the survey, 73 percent of people reported having a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in their local papers. Meanwhile, only 59 percent reported feeling the same about national print outlets.

To get a sense for whether these surveys accurately reflect how readers on the Central Coast feel about their own local newspapers, New Times’ sister paper, the Sun, conducted a poll.

According to the combined results of polls on the Sun’s website and Twitter page, about 43 percent of respondents said they somewhat trust local newspapers but find the reporting to be biased. Meanwhile, 23 percent said the level of trust depends on the topic, another 23 percent said they trust local newspapers either a lot or completely, and 11 percent claimed they don’t trust local newspapers at all.

Admittedly, these aren’t the most scientific polling methods, and the sample size of 35 respondents is too small for any sweeping general conclusions. The results are similar to what national studies suggest, and they reinforce opinions some local party leaders shared with New Times about Central Coast newspapers.

Chair of the Santa Barbara County Republican Party Bobbi McGinnis— who said she’s more familiar with South County newspapers—believes local outlets are trustworthy and accurately cover the issues, such as conflicts regarding the county’s cannabis regulations. However, she feels there are sides of some topics, such as oil and gas, that are being ignored by local media. Most coverage is critical of the oil industry while ignoring its benefits, like the number of well-paying jobs it creates locally, she said.

“I think what’s underreported is that we have some of the best natural resources, but we are handcuffed by decisions by [county] supervisors … that are really hurting our communities,” McGinnis said.

On the other side of the political spectrum, San Luis Obispo County Democratic Party Chair Rosemary Wrenn said she believes local journalism is vital to the community and finds it to be fairer and more accurate than national broadcast media. However, she said—speaking on behalf of herself and not the entire party—she is disappointed that some newspapers contain less local reporting and rely more on national news from national outlets. She acknowledges this is an industrywide problem, not just a local one.

This sentiment is echoed in a comment left on the Sun’s Facebook page responding to a question asking readers to share their thoughts on the trustworthiness of local newspapers.

“You are owned by a major corporation, … so you only care about clickbait stories and what gets you the most attention. No serious journalism anymore,” commenter Richard Smith said.

For the record, the Sun and New Times are locally owned and not a part of a major corporation. But many newspapers throughout the country are and, according to Smith, that’s part of the problem. ∆ —Zac Ezzone

I

n the shadows of the growing hate and immigrant bashing that is engulfing the United States, I quietly celebrated my 40th birthday in August. I, like so many of my immigrant brothers and sisters, live in constant dread and panic, fearing that today, in this current blackhearted hole that we call America, our day will come and we will be caught, arrested, jailed, and eventually deported to some God-forsaken part of Mexico or Central America that we fear will lead to a death. So in this month of my 40th birthday, I thank La Virgen de Guadalupe for watching over me, guiding, and protecting me.

I am still free and alive.

I am a ghost without a home. I am an undocumented immigrant.

In today’s Trump America, make no mistake, I am a criminal, an illegal alien who must be hunted down and caged.

I have lived in the cold and heartless shadows of this country for more than 33 years, where Father Gregory Boyle reminds us that “on the periphery of humanity, where the pain, suffering, and need is the greatest.” The United States, then, has been my purgatory, a place that

I desperately want to call home, but I am denied at every turn.

I was smuggled into this country when I was about 7 years old, a child, guilty only of being born to a single mother in desperate need to find a way of keeping her family from starving and the daily violence in her native Mexico.

Like so many of the children who were/ are smuggled into this country, as we grow into adulthood, we lose most of our connection to Mexico.

This country then pulverizes and mongrelizes us into sub-human status.

We all become rapists, terrorists, whores, gang-bangers, leeches. All the while, this nation reminds us every second of our miserable existence that we are not American and never will be.

We can never go “home” because Mexico was never our home. We were just unfortunate to be born in a geographical/ political war zone, at the mercy of everyone. We have no real home, and the semi-invisible ghostlike life that we lead in this country is criminalized at every turn.

I have survived 33 years in a country that has denied me the human right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. I can’t

get a job legally. I can’t get into college legally. I can’t vote. I can’t call the cops.

I am easily reduced by politicians and fearmongers to a statistical anomaly, a political talking point, a savage criminal, a pathetic scapegoat. Periodically, I am hunted, rounded up, arrested, and thrown into cages, made a prisoner of a society that I have served faithfully in my adulthood.

In this schizophrenic and hypocritical land of laws (for some), I must have legal “papers” to breathe freedom openly.

Perversely, in order to have legal “papers,” I must somehow wipe away all of my 33 years of illegal existence in this country and return to a foreign and foreboding Mexico and pray for celestial intervention that I live long enough to complete the impossibly arduous process of legal immigration and re-entry into the United States, my estranged home of 33 years.

How surreal is that?

Today, worldwide, there are millions of migrants (I am one of them) traversing the globe, seeking a country that will provide the peace, compassion, love, and refuge from the violence, starvation, war, hatred, and persecution that we are all desperately trying to escape. The journey that each and every one of us migrants takes happens when all of the other options have been exhausted, and there is no other choice. “¡Al camino o muerte!” The road or death.

That is what my mother did; that is why she smuggled me into this country 33 years ago; and that is why I am alive today to celebrate my 40th birthday.

One day before I die I hope that this

country, my home, my country will see the tragic error of its current inhumane immigration policies and transform itself back into the world’s beacon and a refuge for those persecuted and huddled migrant masses that yearn to be free. ∆ Adelita de los Milagros wrote to New Times under a pseudonym for obvious reasons.

Letters We The People can do what we please

Michael T. J. Mullen’s piece “Enslaving the future” (Aug. 22) gravely warns that if We The People choose to get our power from a facility owned by—egads!—We The People, we are treading on the thin ice of full-blown Stalinist, Leninist communism! My God—won’t someone think of the children!

Is Mullen even aware of the origins of the electrical grid? Here’s a hint: Look up “Rural Electrification Project” Yes, that’s right: Just like our socialist interstate highway system, We The People built the electrical grid. And the dams that provide them with power.

Some utilities were later sold to private, for-profit companies; some were not.

Guess who gets cheaper rates? Citizens who get publicly owned power, that’s who.

Turns out profit is an added cost. Who knew? Privatization also encourages these utilities to cut corners on maintenance in order to increase profit. Who gets to pay for the resulting fires? We The People, with our lives and treasure.

Nothing in our Constitution prohibits We The People from collectively owning and operating any freaking thing that we want. Believe it or not, that’s called “freedom.”

Go Grizzly!

After reading “Back on track” in the Aug. 22 issue, I just wanted to commend these young adults for making the great decisions to take charge of their lives.

I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors!

As a longtime resident of SLO County, I was led to believe that the Grizzly Academy was for juvenile offenders, kids sent here through probation obligations or to avoid going into the juvenile corrections services.

I am just curious to know if the academy is indeed available to these at-risk youth, or if it ever was?

I find it amazing that this group signed themselves up for this—I am just hoping that those who need the push are getting it. I hope so, our future generations are depending on it! Thank you Grizzly, your work is meaningful!

SLO shouldn’t eliminate natural gas in new buildings

The Republican Party of San Luis Obispo County (RPSLO) opposes the city of San Luis Obispo’s adoption of proposed amendments that would lead to the elimination of the use of natural gas.

New building projects choosing to incorporate natural gas will be required to meet a higher performance standard, and will be required to pre-wire for future all-electric. Although natural gas will be allowed for current and new projects throughout the city, the projects with natural gas will be required to pay a carbon-offset fee in proportion to how

Sound off New Times readers took to Facebook to share their thoughts on our Aug. 22 news story, “New advocacy group to call for more housing in SLO County.”

much gas will be used.

These amendments are not required by state law, and have not been evaluated in terms of their cost impact on alreadyimpacted new housing or remodeled construction, nor have the energy consumption impacts of the proposals been evaluated.

This mandatory conversion to allelectric will impose a disproportionate financial impact upon the working poor, the elderly, and those on fixed incomes.

All-electric homes are more expensive to operate and increase the cost of housing!

The proposals are another attempt by the City Council to promote its extreme environmental credentials at the expense of residents and taxpayers. RPSLO urges the City Council to take no action on them.

Let’s not silence Al Fonzi

After reading four letters attacking Al Fonzi in last week’s edition of New Times, three of which asked that his voice be silenced, I decided to reread his Aug. 15 Rhetoric & Reason commentary, “Stoking the fires of division,” to try to understand what all the hoopla is about.

What I found was a well-written, reasonable reflection of a conservative’s perspective of the state of mind of the left with regard to their strategies and overt actions against our president. I think anyone who would like to understand the point of view of most conservatives and Republicans should visit the New Times website and read Fonzi’s opinion pieces.

What I take away from the four letters is that the political left has now moved into panic mode when it comes to dealing with supporters of President Donald Trump. They look at the many Democratic candidates vying to challenge him next year and realize that defeat is forthcoming.

They also now realize that he won’t be impeached, that the Russia collusion hoax is over, and that nothing is likely to stop his re-election. Yes, digesting the overwhelming likelihood that they’re going to see another four years of Trump only reinforces what we call “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

What the left fails to understand is that around half of Americans favor Trump over any Democrat and that includes folks in our community. It seems that the voices asking New Times to silence Al Fonzi are asking that this publication turn its back on half its readers. I mean really … why would I read New Times if all comments were negative to Trump and insulting my intelligence?

The fact that so many letters were sent to New Times against Al Fonzi (I assume there were more than four) leads me to believe that what he has to say is really important to encouraging “conversation” between opposing points of view. And isn’t that what the opinion pages of any publication are suppose to do?

We need more information about CCE Week after week it’s disheartening to see the uninformed and propagandistic opinion pieces about community choice energy (CCE) in New Times.

16 • New Times • August 29 - September 5, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

Roberta Fonzi’s piece (“More questions than answers,” Aug. 15) was full of pregnant questions whose answers lie a few clicks away, indicating the poor knowledge base behind this elected official’s opposition to CCE. Michael Mullen spins a fantasy CCE that is going to steal funds from schools (“Enslaving the future,” Aug. 22). It will have no impact on school funding. He apparently doesn’t understand that CCE is only about electricity, which doesn’t contribute to school funds. All taxable physical facilities PG&E owns will remain PG&E’s.

On the other side is Andrew Christie’s repetitive hype that CCE represents the Second Coming and will save the earth. That’s propaganda. CCE as planned could well lead to exterminating many endangered species because the renewable energy path its leaders have chosen appropriates ever greater quantities of habitat lands.

I remain a friendly skeptic of CCE. It may have benefits, but we really don’t know that much. Our city’s lack of honest talk doesn’t help. We’re only four months out from CCE’s arrival, and we still don’t know much about it. Why? For readers interested in a more nuanced critique of CCE, see my two lengthy pieces in CalCoastNews, which gives commentators the space they need to explore their subjects.

The right to speak

I am an immigrant who came to the U.S. legally through a port of entry. I have always cherished our First Amendment right, protected under our Constitution.

It is one of our sacred duties as citizens to protect and honor this right to free speech. It is a right that we, as a country, have shed blood for.

It distresses me to read so many letters to the editor that would like to squelch Al Fonzi from expressing his opinion. Now, I may not agree with everything I read both right and left of center, but one of the worst things we can do is silence the voices we may not agree with. If we only heard one particular point of view, our perspective would become very narrow and dangerous. We need to always hear as many opinions as possible, to sieve through ideas to help us formulate our own, which can change over time.

A healthy democracy is one in which we never stifle those voices we may not wish to hear. One of the pleasures of reading New Times is that it allows all points of view to be heard. There are countries where one point of view is shared by the press with the public. Let us hope that we never become like those, and that we always welcome as many different points of view as possible. I hope Al Fonzi continues to share his opinion. I may not agree with everything he says, but then again, I find I don’t agree with much of most of what I read nowadays anyway.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY JOHN DONEGAN

Where are all the hippies?

W

ith the recent remembrances of the 50th anniversary of Woodstock, I was set to wondering: Where have all the hippies gone? As an old hippie myself, I then concluded that they must now be Republicans.

Take a moment to mop up the soy latte that you just squirted through your nose upon reading this, and allow me to explain.

The ethos of the hippie was actually more “libertarian,” but that doesn’t mean they lacked pragmatism and didn’t want their votes to count. It just means that of the two major parties that are likely to actually run the country, the laissez-faire approach of the Republican party most closely matches their own thinking. But, there are also additional reasons why they would gravitate toward the Republicans.

First, what were the defining themes of the hippie era? Rebellion against the establishment! Freedom! Nonconformity!

All with a laid-back attitude.

So, if you are a rebel today, who and what do you rebel against? Today’s “establishment” is a combination of a smothering, instinctively intrusive government and a business world that has cynically incorporated hippie causes to sell their “stuff.” The governmental “establishment” is a liberal, paternalistic, and expansive force that constantly gnaws its way deeper and deeper into our lives in an effort to protect us from ourselves

for “our own good,” and seeks to regulate, define, plan, and quantify everything it comes in contact with. It works in a symbiotic relationship with a corporate “establishment,” which has shamelessly co-opted the causes, concerns, and lifestyle elements of the hippies in their cynical marketing of their wares. And they are both cheered on by an omnipresent media instructing us as to just how we should think if we want to be considered “free thinkers” and hectoring us as to the sort of thinking that is permitted.

There is plenty to rebel against in the political world. We have gone from “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” to focus groups and consultants constructing political personas, who will put a wetted finger to the political winds to determine the interest groups they will pander to. They rule over a vast bureaucracy continually generating more and more rules and regulations.

And what hippie could be happy with a business establishment that shamelessly appropriates their cares and lifestyle? Modern business has completely incorporated the environmental and diversity causes into their relentless hucksterism. Few businesses don’t try to cast themselves as “green” and “environmentally sensitive.”

So, while a hippie will still find these objectives admirable, they are likely to

be offended by seeing them cynically deployed as marketing tools and used with the slogans and imagery of the ’60s in selling utterly unconnected products. Consider the ads featuring images of beautiful people meditating or practicing yoga being used to sell prosaic items like granola bars, foot powder, or insurance. Or, they may find herbal tea or 800-thread-count bed sheets conflated with inner peace and enlightenment, certainly an easier route than years of rigorous study and meditation.

The love of freedom also defined the hippies, who can fondly recall some of the great joys that we had 50 years ago, which are now often banned. Campfires and beer drinking on the beach, riding in the back of a pickup truck, or motorcycling without a helmet all come to mind. Or, the number of things you now need a permit to do, like backpacking and most of the work done on your home. And, don’t get me started on air travel and the ubiquitous security checks in many of our public venues. The list goes on and on.

Who are today’s successors to the iconic “laid-back” hippie? Certainly not the angry activists of today, with their fists clenched in fury, their faces twisted in incontinent rage, sputtering the mandatory jargon newly contrived for their latest cause.

Any group that would reactively run off a member of their college faculty for having

the wrong-headedness to suggest that they develop a sense of humor over Halloween costumes, as occurred at Yale a few years back, can hardly be called “laid back.”

With the original hippies, you could put out pretty much any sort of idea you wanted, and just get, “Wow, man, cool. Want another toke?” What’s groovy about rage and hate?

Nonconformity? Try and find that in today’s Democratic party, a group whose members will viciously turn on each other for any variation from approved dogma and doctrine, real or perceived. You can say what you will about the Tea Party activists, but seeing a bunch of old guys in goofy tricorne hats makes it pretty clear that they really don’t care very much about conforming to anyone’s standards of fashionable dress.

As an old hippie who just wants to be left alone to “do his own thing,” who is sick of rage and bitter division, exhausted by the government’s continuous intervention in his life, and tired of the slick banality and relentless commercialism of the business world, where do you go politically? It is an easy choice. You go to the Republican party of small government, less regulation, and laissez-faire policies. ∆ John Donegan is a retired attorney, who after 50 years of keeping his love beads, sandals, and Nehru jacket in mothballs, is again eyeing them as possible attire.

The Shredder

The real victims

H

ave you ever played “Would You Rather”? It doesn’t really matter, because it’s happening. Ready?

OK! Would you rather forget a governmentissued gun in a public bathroom or tell your mom that you got her car stolen? I wouldn’t rather, but I do know someone who we can ask! Quick, let’s do another one.

Would you rather tell the public about the missing gun because you’re a top law enforcement official and need to find your weapon or learn that a naked lady was found in your car 300-plus miles away from where it was stolen?

San Luis Obispo Police Chief Deanna Cantrell can totally tell us!

She’s experienced both. The only problem is, we can’t ask her! Apparently, she’s irritated that the San Luis Obispo Tribune reported on that whole getting her car stolen thing, and she wouldn’t really talk to them about it.

“She questioned why the theft of her personal vehicle was newsworthy,” The Trib wrote. “‘I’m the victim of a crime,’ she said.”

Well, Deanna, aside from the whole (and very recent) leaving your gun at El Pollo Loco, sending officers to search the home of someone who didn’t have the gun and arresting them for child endangerment instead, and recommending that the SLO County District Attorney’s Office file criminal

charges against the dude who actually did pick up the gun you left by the toilet, the police chief’s car getting stolen is totally news.

Because you’re the police chief. Duh! The DA’s Office, in an unusual display of doing the right thing, declined to prosecute the gun-finder, by the way.

Mind blown.

And on top of all of that, for the last several months, Deanna, your social media accounts have been full of “Lock It or Lose It” posts. Property crime was up slightly from 2017 to 2018, so you and your police department started to put the word out: If you don’t want to get your car stolen, lock it and make sure nothing of value is in sight!

“Property crimes are a significant issue within the city and throughout the state,” you, Deanna, said in a May 2019 press release. “Smart approaches and education continue to be primary ways to prevent crime. We continually remind community members to ‘Lock It or Lose It’ and the importance of removing personal items from vehicles.”

It seems ironic, then, that officers suspect that a key may have been visible inside the car—even if it was your son who was using the car. Apparently, he didn’t get the message.

But now he knows! Lock it or lose it, man.

Ready for another would you rather? OK! Would you rather pay $2.5 million to repair a building that’s been allowed to fall into disrepair and overrun with critters and crawlers or evict all of the people living in your 54-unit apartment complex? Well, Grand View Apartments owners Ebrahim and Fahimeh Madadi would rather do the latter.

They might be the literal defition of slumlords. And get this: Documents responding to a lawsuit their tenants filed against them due to the shit conditions at Grand View claim that the 70-somethingyear-olds had no idea about the squalor their tenants were living in until they got sued. They were shocked. Shocked!

What? Mind blown.

So, the owners had no idea about the multiple code compliance complaints lodged against them over the last several years? Or the fact that tenants have said they were forced to pay for repairs to their apartments? Or the fact that tenants have also said they weren’t getting their deposits back because they are being accused of causing the ceilings to fall apart, faucets to drip, and cockroaches to infest the walls?

WTF guys?

Do these owners live under a rock? Just collecting that rent money and ignoring everything else. Meanwhile, they’ve been handing out notices to vacate like crappy generic hard candy (not the good stuff, like the Werther’s Original Hard

Candies® that my g-ma keeps on her piano), which Stephanie Barclay, who’s representing Grand View tenants in the lawsuit, said is a violation of a May court order! That court order also stipulates that the owners can’t collect rent from their tenants until the issues get fixed.

The owners are claiming that not collecting rent is the reason they have to close up shop and kick out their tenants.

They don’t have the money to fix up the place (which they should have kept fixed up in the first place). Without rent, they can’t pay the bills. And if they can’t pay the bills, they have to go out of business!

Those poor owners!

Geez people, it’s like you’ve got PG&E’s corporate board running your apartment complex.

You know the saga: Don’t maintain transmission lines, cause some major wildfires, jack up the rates on your customers, and then file for bankruptcy because you can’t afford to pay for all of the damage you caused. Poor PG&E! Meanwhile, we’ve got guerrilla bike crusaders in SLOtown installing toilet plungers along bike lanes to prove a point!

Would you rather hit a toilet plunger or a bike rider?

Answer: toilet plunger!

And cars definitely did hit those toilet plungers, so maybe it’s time we did something to protect the city’s bike riders.

Just a thought. ∆ The Shredder would rather rant than rave. Send comments to shredder@ newtimesslo.com.

Dirt and grit Catch the blues, roots, reggae, and country this week

I

f you have a conflicted soul speckled with patches of black, you’re not alone.

And there’s probably a song out there that speaks to you perfectly. It’s even possible that some guy from Texas wrote it.

And, just maybe, you can hear that song while basking in the glow of a tasty beer that you’re sipping at a picnic table in front of an old-truck-turned-stage. It could be the crooner or warmth of North County in the late afternoon, but I can almost guarantee you that you’ll be glad you went.

Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents brings red dirt and Texas-style country rocker Stoney Larue at BarrelHouse Brewing in Paso Robles on Thursday, Aug. 29 (6 p.m.; all ages; $22 presale at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com or $25 at the door).

Since 2005, this country crooner from Texas has put out four studio-recorded albums and two live ones. He’s currently working on an album slated for release in November, Onward, that captures him looking ahead and inward, shining a light in dark places, working through conflict, and attempting to better himself in the process.

“You want to test your bones and see where they break,” he said in his website biography. “This record is wading through all the mud and storms to hopefully come out on the other side with a wisdom that you didn’t have before. It’s a brighter way to look at things.”

Gallery at Marina Square announces two new exhibitions

The Color of Light, a fine art oil exhibit, and A Tangle of Textures, a group collage show, both open at Gallery at Marina Square on Sept. 1, and will run through Sept.

29. An artist reception to celebrate both exhibits takes place on Sept.

13, from 5 to 8 p.m.

Artist Kimberly Hempel painted from reference photos of her various travels to create most of the oil pieces on display in The Color of Light. The exhibit also features some of Hempel’s plein air pieces, painted on site and in the moment.

“I work from direct observation when possible and from photographic reference when the weather is inhospitable,” Hempel said in press materials. “Working from photographic references allows me to make a record of what I see and spend time in my studio translating that image onto the canvas.”

A Tangle of Textures features collage works from six different guest artists: Debbie Gedayloo, Hope Myers, Atul Pande, Virginia Mack, Gay McNeal, and Jane Siragusa. The gallery is located at 601 Embarcadero, suite 10, Morro Bay. Call (805) 772-1068 or visit galleryatmarinasquare.com for more info.

Park Cinemas screens Topper for Pajama Movie Night

The Downtown Paso Robles Main Street Association presents a Pajama Movie Night screening of Topper at Park Cinemas on Sept. 8, at 7 p.m. The 1937 fantasy drama stars Cary Grant and Constance Bennett as a couple killed in a car accident, who quickly realize they didn’t do enough good deeds while alive to earn a trip to heaven. Admission is $10, which also includes a complimentary soda and popcorn.

Park Cinemas is located at 1100 Pine St., Paso Robles. Call (805) 238-4103 for tickets and more info.

‘Dreaming of a healthy ocean’ California’s beauty inspires new exhibition at COAST Big Sur, a day trip up Highway 1 from SLO County

T

hough her recent work as a painter has dealt primarily with the twodimensional, artist Rebecca Koury is no stranger to working outside of a flat canvas. When she first received her formal art education, sculpture was her focus.

“I was kind of a maniac,” she said of her early career. “I was in the studio all the time, working late nights, getting there in the early morning. I was just full of passion.”

Today, the Carmel-based Koury finds herself drawn to the canvas. But her newest collection, Ocean Dreaming—set to display at COAST Big Sur from Aug. 23 to Sept. 27— finds influence from her past as a sculptor.

“Painting is usually a flat surface, although mine are very textural,” Koury explained. “I think of them as being dimensional because I am creating layers and textures, and some metaphoric symbols are in there.”

Koury’s paintings are bright, moving, and lively, yet they also maintain something unequivocally calm about them. Coordinates blends bright aqua-blues and greens in horizontal layers on the canvas. Sporadic splashes of brown and orange make the vivid colors feel grounded in earth, evoking natural images like tree bark or the ordered chaos of the ocean. Stark, white outlines of unfolding paper and platform-like structures provide a representational and orderly contrast to the abstract, kinetic background.

The folded paper-like image, which appears consistently across the works in the Ocean Dreaming exhibit, is symbolic for Koury. In Unfoldment, a series of paintings featured in Ocean Dreaming, the image unfolds across the canvas, concertina-like, from one work to the next, creating a literal and figurative thread across the series.

“When I started the Unfoldment series, sometimes I don’t know why I am getting these images, but I just go with it,” she said of the geometric pattern. “For me it was all about the unfoldment of life and how we grow and expand as human beings.”

Koury also finds her recent work influenced by symbols in ancient Japanese art.

“There are those platform-looking images.

Those platforms are elevating. They’re moving through time and space,” she said. “It’s about consciousness, and growing. If you look at the structures that are painted in ancient Japanese screens, they look like that.”

But underlying these repeated images and symbols is always nature, Koury said.

“I relate to the natural world so well because it’s tactile,” she said. “Living here on the Central Coast, everything here is so dramatic. I am just looking at my window

right now, looking at these amazing cypress trees—they’re so textural and tactile to me.”

While Koury said she chooses to remain largely apolitical with her art, she emphasized that human destruction of the natural world does influence the message she hopes to put out with her work.

“With the show that’s occurring at COAST, we’ve called it Ocean Dreaming. I thought, what am I dreaming?” she said. “I am dreaming of a beautiful, healthy ocean. That to me is what this is about.”

As she looks to the future, though, Koury anticipates that certain changes to the environment could push her art in a more political direction.

“I’ve always said, if they put oil rigs here, as they did in Santa Barbara, I am certain that I would make a stand,” she said. “It’s so valuable; this is our home. It’s a closed system.

There’s no planet B, this is it. That’s how I look at it. Is my work apolitical? Currently it is. However, I choose to view Ocean Dreaming as dreaming of a beautiful, healthy ocean in response to pollution of the ocean.”

What keeps Koury motivated as an artist is the way others interact with her art.

“That’s truly where the magic is: when people respond and purchase my work, and I know that it’s going to the home where it needs to be, where it’s going to live and be appreciated,” she said. “I believe that art is a healing tool.”

Koury also said that she wants her work to be accessible to all, even for those who don’t have a background in art theory and history.

“If it touches them, moves them, inspires them, that’s the ticket,” she said. “There’s so much of ourselves that’s dimensional that we don’t tap into. I think that art can do that for us. Nature and landscapes also can do that for us. I think it touches us and we don’t even realize it on a conscious level.”

It’s that subliminal and implicit side of art appreciation that has moved Koury for as long as she can remember.

“When I grew up, my dad had art books ... and I was brought to tears,” she shared.

“I was moved by the beauty; there was something it in that moved me. That’s what it’s about. It’s about a feeling.” ∆ Arts Writer Malea Martin is unfolding in the ocean. Send comments or arts story tips to mmartin@newtimesslo.com.

OCEAN HUES Coordinates, by Central Coast artist Rebecca Koury, draws inspiration from the ever-changing and evolving nature of the ocean.

irected by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (the duo behind Devil’s Due), this comedy horror witnesses Grace’s (Samara Weaving, The Babysitter) wedding night take an evil turn when she’s forced to participate in a timehonored tradition of her new husband’s (Mark O’Brien, Halt and Catch Fire) rich, eccentric family to play a terrifying and deadly game. (105 min.)

Caleb Ready or not? Umm, definitely not. I won’t beat around the bush: I mercilessly loathe this film. The 88 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes is 100 percent flabbergasting. Many of the film’s supporters point to its subversive nature, describing it as a social commentary on the class system—rich versus poor, all that jazz. It’s there, but the same can be said of numerous horror films in the last few years, brilliant (Us) and not-so-much (The First Purge) alike. But also, so what?

Subtext loses its potency when it’s spoonfed, especially when said spoon is in the hands of bombastic characters trying to choo-choo train heavy themes down my throat. Guess I’m just more of an airplane guy. The film opens with a wedding, between bride Grace (Weaving) and groom Alex (O’Brien). The couple spends their first night as husband and wife with Alex’s wealthy family at their large, eerily foreboding estate—basically Disney’s Haunted Mansion but better well-kept,

ANGEL HAS FALLEN

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Stream it Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 In case you need a refresher, this is the

third offering of the Fallen franchise that started in 2013 with Olympus Has Fallen and was followed in 2016 with London Has Fallen. Each stars noble Secret Service Agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler). In this newest iteration directed by Ric Roman Waugh (Felon, Snitch, Shot Caller), after being framed for attempting to assassinate the president, Banning must evade the FBI and his own agency as he works to clear his name and find the true culprit, who aims to take out President Thumbull (Morgan Freeman).

Well, thank God for Nick Nolte, whose mid-film appearance as Mike Banning’s estranged father Clay Banning managed to stop me from napping through this predictable by-the-numbers actioner. Clay is a grizzled old Vietnam vet who long before abandoned his wife and child for

a life living off the grid and away from a culture and government he rejects as corrupt. Nolte, the former heartthrob of films such as The Deep (1977) and 48 Hrs. (1982), has really embraced his scruffy carbuncular old age in films like Tropic Thunder (2008) and Warrior (2011). In Angel Has Fallen, he actually manages to give this otherwise hollow, wooden affair a beating heart.

After the opening set piece, an idea stolen from an old James Bond film, we get the set-up: Banning’s friendship with former fellow soldier Wade Jennings (Danny Huston), who now runs a struggling private sector military company (Think Blackwater).

When Huston turns up as a supposed good guy in anything, regular cinemagoers know to be wary because Huston is a helluva bad guy! His character Jennings needs a

Don’t waste your time president willing to employ firms like his on the global battlefield, which Thumbull isn’t, and since Banning is up for director of the Secret Service, maybe he could put in a good word for his old comrade in arms. Trust me: What’s coming is telegraphed from a mile away.

What follows will appeal to fans of the franchise, which once again delivers explosions, gunfights, vehicle chases, and hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately, it’s a familiar path from beginning to end, right down to Banning’s wife, Leah (Piper Perabo), and toddler daughter being imperiled. There are exactly zero surprises awaiting viewers, which is maybe why the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is 95 percent while critics score is 40 percent. If you want to see something familiar, by all means go. If you were hoping to be in any

way surprised by the story, you’ll leave as dissatisfied as I was. (120 min.)

Javed turns to poetry to make sense of his life, but then a classmate introduces him to Bruce Springsteen’s music, which seems to offer parallels to his life and shows Javed another outlet for his pent-up dreams.

Like much of The Boss’s music, Blinded by the Light is a life-affirming rock anthem.

A.J. Eaton directs this documentary on David Crosby— famed founding member of both The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash—who over the years has been estranged from all the famous musicians he worked with, but who at 77-year-old is still focused on making music.

While first-time director Eaton’s work behind the camera is nothing special, his subject is endlessly fascinating, disarmingly reflective, and unflinchingly honest. It’s a portrait of an artist but also an examination of a deeply flawed and egotistical man who wants to repent.

Unvarnished and largely unflattering, this look at Crosby is both biopic and confession. (95 min.)

Awkwafina plays Billi, a Chinese American woman who is conflicted about her family’s decision to keep her grandmother’s fatal medical diagnosis from the older woman.

The story is based on an “actual lie.” In fact, it’s built on a lie that Wang’s family told her grandmother to prevent her from living in fear throughout the remaining days of her life.

It’s a tried-and-true comedy formula, and as much as I want to be annoyed that 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.)

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. (89 min.)

Tarantino’s ninth film features an ensemble cast and multiple storylines.

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

It’s classic excessive Tarantino, so if you like his filmmaking, you’ll love this. I did. (161 min.)

Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Stadium 10 Writers-directors Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz helm this adventure dramedy about Zak (Zack Gottsagen), a young man with Down syndrome, who runs away from a nursing home to pursue his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. With the help of small-time outlaw Tyler (Shia LeBeouf), and kind nursing home employee, Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), the trio embarks on a Mark Twain-like odyssey.

This sweet crowd pleaser hits all the right notes and is enriched by a stellar cast. It opens with 22-year-old Zak, a ward of the state, stuck in a nursing home because the state “has nowhere else to put him.” The nursing home residents love him because he’s a sweet young man, but he doesn’t belong there.

excellent Bruce Dern), who’s exceedingly tired of watching Zak’s old wrestling tapes of his favorite pro wrestler The Salt Water Redneck, aka Clint (an equally excellent Thomas Haden Church), who runs a small wrestling school. Long story short, Zak eventually slips out of the home and is on the road.

Meanwhile, we meet Tyler, who’s stealing crabs out of crab pots. Through flashbacks, we learn he had a brother, Mark (Jon Bernthal), with whom he fished but who has since passed away. Tyler’s just trying to get by, but the crab pot owners—Duncan (John Hawkes) and Ratboy (Yelawolf)—are now out to get him, forcing him to run. Tyler, at first reluctantly but later joyfully, promises to get Zak to the Salt Water Redneck’s wrestling school, and off they go Huck Finn style.

The humor throughout is pitch perfect, and there’s something special about watching differently-abled actor Zack Gottsagen embody Zak, who has a lot to teach audiences about what it means to have Down syndrome. There’s a scene when Zak and Tyler are talking about good guys and bad guys in pro wrestling, and it sets up the heart of the film.

Johnson as Eleanor is perfectly cast, and she and LeBeouf have great chemistry as their two characters spark a romance. The film is ultimately about finding your own family, the power of acceptance, but also about redemption, especially for Tyler, whose existence hovers between good guy/bad guy status.

This is a small film with a big heart. I loved it.

SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Park, Sunset Drive-in my fandom.

In 1994, NBC launched a TV series about six friends in their 20s who live in New York and go through the motions of life together.

When I say together, I mean they’re not shy about sharing information—like being married to a lesbian, having a questionable third nipple, dating an older man, or someone at work eating a Thanksgiving-leftover sandwich. You don’t understand, that sandwich was the only good thing Ross had going in his life. I mean, come on, the guy (at this time in Season 5) was divorced twice and got evicted from his apartment.

Friends lasted for 10 seasons because it was in many ways relatable—OK, not the living in New York and being able to afford a pretty nice apartment part, but being so tightknit with a small group of people.

Siblings Ross (David Schwimmer) and Monica (Courteney Cox) join their new and old high school and college friends Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Joey (Matt LeBlanc), and Chandler (Matthew Perry) at Central Perk and Monica’s apartment to laugh, talk, cry, and enjoy each other.

My older siblings watched this show constantly when it was on-air. They’re now nearing their late 30s and early 40s, but I didn’t really understand what the fuss was about until high school, my college years, and the present. I’ll admit it, Friends is the only series I’ll watch from start to finish; I’ve done that more times than I can keep track of.

BLAST FROM THE admired; Joey’s struggle to be noticed in his career field; Phoebe’s weirdness; Chandler’s desire to be giving to his friends, and Ross’ …

I actually don’t connect with Ross.

If I had to rank all the characters from best to worst, he would be dead last. I just cannot sympathize with a character who whines all the time because his love life is on the fritz but has literally everything else going for him.

Anyway, the series left an impression on me because I wanted a close small group of people that I felt completely comfortable with, could be myself with, and could be friends with for a long time—even if life moved us in different directions. I wanted to be there for them, and I wanted them to be there for me, too (corny right?).

Whether it’s Chandler’s one-liners, Joey’s disdain for sharing food, or the will-they-won’tthey between Ross and Rachel, I laugh at every single episode even though I know exactly what’s going to happen. The writing was funny, the life scenarios could happen, and the on-screen chemistry was alive and thriving.

So pivot your couch in the direction of your screen and look for the series that will always be there for you when your job’s a joke, you’re broke, and your love life is DOA. Δ —Karen Garcia

t’s Thursday, Aug. 15, and to beat the weekend traffic, my wife and I are making the evening drive to Stevenson Ranch, in Santa Clarita Valley, not far from the City of Angels.

We’re staying with some dear friends who have a swank suburban home with a backyard pool. They also happen to have Humphrey Bogart’s old bed in their guest room, and whether she did or not, I’m going to pretend Lauren Bacall slept in it too.

The missus of the house is a creative director at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, and she’s promised us a private tour on Friday, so after a few drinks and some catching up, we’re off to bed. Here’s looking at you kid.

On Friday morning after a little homemade breakfast, the mister of the house piles us into the family van and drives us to Warner Bros. and his wife’s office, and soon we’re in fantasyland where the magic happens. Usually the tour would set us back $69 each and we’d be driven around on a tram, but we just walk onto the lot with our special badges, free to explore.

There’s the water tower with the famed Warner Bros. logo. My friend points to a building and tells me that’s where Clint Eastwood’s office is and no we can’t just “stop by and say hi.”

I pause by for a selfie in front of Jackson, Mississippi’s Municipal Court Building, which of course is actually about 1,852 miles east of here. All the buildings look like regular buildings until you open the door to go inside and discover the interior is only 5 feet deep.

You know that scene in Spider-Man (2002) when Spider-Man, aka Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire), has just saved Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) from four thugs in an alleyway, and he’s hanging upside down from a fire escape in the rain, and he says, “You have a

“They had to plug Tobey Maguire’s nose with cotton balls to keep him from drowning,” my friend tells me. “To make rain look good on camera, the raindrops have to be huge.”

I’m also informed that she can’t get me some rope to recreate the kiss with my wife and me. Some friend, eh?

One of the trams drives past us, and the tour guide points to another building and informs his tourists that it’s the lone remaining building still standing from the Casablanca (1942) set.

“Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.”

We walk over to the onsite museum to check out its current exhibition, the DC Universe. I get a photo sitting on Aquaman’s throne and holding his trident because I’m nerdy like that (Aquaman, 2018). There are costumes and props and graphics on the walls. Deeper in the building, there’s Wonder Woman (2017) stuff: more costumes, props, and even Steve Trevor’s bitchin’ motorcycle.

Outstanding beer,

noble cause For the owner of Central Coast Brewing in SLO, raising money for ALS research is personal

G

eorge Peterson, owner and founder of Central Coast Brewing, took some pride in telling me that he was one of three SLO county breweries to join the national campaign for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) research: Ales for ALS. I shared a brew with Peterson and Stormy Trevino, director of sales and distribution for Central Coast Brewing (CCB), on the front outdoor patio of their busy, busy 1-year-old tap room and 12,000-square-foot brewhouse facility (former home of San Luis Motorsports) and restaurant on Higuera on a recent Tuesday evening. I was on a mission to try the beer with the F-word in its name.

At 6 p.m., the tables were already hopping with a friendly, local beer congregation—young and old, groups and couples—nibbling on gourmet pub fare like the Sriracha burger and Philly cheesesteak pizza, sipping on one of CCB’s endless choices of drafts.

A young local named Jeff Stein from Bay Laurel Nursery pulled up next to us, and, “seemingly” unaware that I was writing a column on Ales for ALS, he asked Peterson and Trevino for one of those “ALS beers.” He was nowhere near the bar. “I’m making my donation,” Stein

Pouring Ales for ALS

On Central Coast Brewing’s tap list is the “F&*% ALS,” an American style IPA, benefiting ALS research. A 4 ounce pour is $3, an 8 ounce pour is $5, 16 ounce pour is $7, and 64 ounce growler is $21.

Central Coast Brewing has two locations: the new 6 Higuera St., SLO, brewery and brew pub is open Sunday to Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The Monterey Street location (with a bathroom and cafe next door and about 14 or so CCB draft beers on tap), 1422 Monterey, SLO, is open from noon to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday, and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

said, later walking off with a crowler.

Peterson grinned, and Trevino fell into laughter.

“Did you guys ask him to say that?” I laughed.

Those two goofballs were totally up to something. Peterson, still in his black Sunset Honda polo shirt, his bright, wide eyes peeking out from the rim of a brew, denied anything mischievous. “We did not plan him, nope!” Trevino insisted.

I was asking Peterson about all the work Central Coast Brewing has done to raise money for ALS, and he and Trevino were having some fun kidding around and pouring me their house-crafted beer named “F&*% ALS” for Ales for ALS. One dollar from every pint brewed goes to the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI), a nonprofit biotech-focused research center working for treatments and a cure for ALS. I was sobered to learn that Peterson’s dear friend Don Woodward had died of the disease in 2010.

“There are 15 new cases of ALS diagnosed each day,” the little CCB cardboard table sign reads.

According to the ALS Association, roughly 16,000 Americans have the progressive neurological disease at any given time.

Notable individuals who have been diagnosed with ALS include the famous baseball player Lou Gehrig and theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking.

For Peterson’s friend, whose parents owned Sunset Honda in SLO and was next in line to take over the business, ALS came as a complete surprise. Woodward was an excellent golfer, but he CRAFTY Central Coast Brewing is one of three was hitting the ball “a little SLO Country breweries (54 in California), including Firestone Walker and SLO Brew, that make a shorter,” Peterson remembered. special beer supporting ALS research.

accident, and went in for neck surgery at UC San Francisco.

But just before surgery one of the doctors looked closer at Woodward and found that the pain was worse than they thought and could not be taken care of by surgery. It was, they found instead, late onset ALS. That same day Woodward was told to get his affairs in order. The disease takes over the body like a tsunami, and the prognosis is dire.

“It was just catastrophic,” Peterson said. “We are the same age, just two months apart.”

Woodward was 46 when ALS took his life, only 17 months after the diagnosis at UCSF. “He was San Luis High, CIF champion, Utah [U of Utah] football … yeah, he was the guy,” Peterson said. “You couldn’t go anywhere without someone sayin’, ‘Hey Donnie, how’s it goin’?’”

The Ales for ALS campaign began in 2013, when a Yakima Valley hop farming family decided to raise funds and awareness for ALS. Each year their hop farm donates a unique blend of primarily “experimental” hops to participating breweries across the country, asking the breweries to donate their dollar per pint brewed back to ALS TDI. This year, more than 200 breweries worldwide participated in brewing their own hand-crafted beer to best showcase this year’s special blend of hops.

Trevino, who I learned is a bit of a beer nerd (in the complimentary sense of the word, of course), just returned from Munich, where he visited hops farms to examine the goods. He said CCB Master Brewer Brendan Gough decided to

produce an IPA from the hops they were given for the fundraiser, which apparently was not the typical choice of the other brewmasters.

Supporters of the cause can order the beer at either one of CCB’s SLO taprooms, and they are also selling it to their wholesale distribution network. The Ales for ALS beer, which Peterson served me chilled in a Pilsner glass, is a moderately strong pale ale that tasted delicious and refreshing, especially after I’d been in 109-degree Atascadero weather all day.

Here’s the other thing I just adore about Central Coast Brewing beers: the nose.

The “F&*% ALS” smells like pineapple and Mary Jane bud. First of all, I checked with Peterson and Trevino—it’s perfectly normal in beer land to call that fresh beer scent the “nose” … just like wine. And I’m not the only one to compare beer flavor to pot.

The guys told me they are meticulously vigilant in protecting the freshness of their brews. They won’t allow the stores that carry Central Coast Brewing beers to keep them too long, and they insist that the wonderful nose is the result of being sticklers about freshness.

Speaking of love, the new location on Higuera has a huggable, quirky personality. Located across from a gun shop (which Peterson says makes awesome neighbors), almost hidden from downtown, and adjacent to the San Luis Cemetery—the location works. Trevino and Peterson showed me a missing board between the beer garden and cemetery.

“That’s where the ghosts come in,” they told me.

See what I mean?

In July the Central Coast Brewing team took part in the 50 brewery kickoff for Ales for ALS at Faction Brewing in Alameda, which was their third return to the fundraising effort, and they’ve already signed up for next year’s fundraiser. There they debuted the “F&*% ALS” IPA—so named to make it abundantly clear that they are ready for a cure already.

Trevino said that among the thousands who attended the event, it was difficult and eye-opening to see some of their beer customers in electric wheelchairs who were stricken with the disease. He was shocked to see people in their 20s with ALS. Some had to use computer screens to communicate.

“We saw people at all levels,” Trevino said. “We saw some who were recently stricken, in a wheelchair. But they could use their hands, and were able to communicate, but couldn’t walk, and others who couldn’t move their hands and arms … and others who had lost all of that. Just eye movement. That was it.”

For whatever reason and whenever you try the “F&*% ALS” for yourself, raise a glass to Peterson’s late friend, Don Woodward. ∆

LOCALLY GROWN How sweet: Humble Pies is joining forces with the market stands! Sample apple and peach crumbles when you visit Humble Pies for the Atascadero Farmers’ Market starting Sept. 4, and every Wednesday market thereafter … SLO Natural Foods Co-op is partnering with local nonprofit One Cool Earth this August through September.

Each time a shopper brings in a reusable container at checkout, the Co-op will give $1 to the nonprofit. This helps to reduce plastic waste, to bring awareness to the issue, and funds local garden-based learning programs for school children. ∆ New Times contributor Beth Giuffre is proud of her humble pie. Send peaches to bgiuffre@newtimesslo.com.

D INE ’N’ DISH Central Coast Brewing pretzel

Have you been to the impressive, yearold Central Coast Brewing taproom? I am partial to it, mainly because I can choose between 25 or so craft brews on tap. But the best part about CCB on Higuera is that the newest location has a full menu: gastropub quality burgers, sandwiches, salads … and what everyone and their buddy wants with their beer: pizza! On Fridays, and actually every weekday, from 3 to 6 p.m., it’s Happy Hour, when you can order swell appetizers—like sweet potato fries, chicken wings, pulled pork sliders, and crispy fried tater tots—for college-kid prices. My favorite pint, CCB’s Nitro Peanut Butter Breakdown Coffee Stout, goes ridiculously well with the $5 Happy Hour pretzel on the appetizer menu, which is served with stone ground mustard, and you can add beer cheese for a couple quarters.

CCB’s appetizer pretzel is $7 normally, and $5 during Happy Hour. Central Coast Brewing’s kitchen is open daily 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 6 Higuera, SLO. ∆ New Times contributor Beth Giuffre says every hour is Happy Hour. Send pretzels and pints to bgiuffre@newtimesslo.com.

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

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.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee.

In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the

LEGAL NOTICES lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

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.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: What do you want most for the person or animal you love best? Freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Here are examples of activities I recommend you try in the coming days. 1. Build a campfire on the beach with friends and regale each other with stories of your most interesting successes. 2. Buy eccentric treasures at a flea market and ever thereafter refer to them as your holy icons. 3. Climb a hill and sit on the grass as you sing your favorite songs and watch the moon slowly rise over the eastern horizon. 4. Take naps when you’re “not supposed to.” 5. Sneak into an orchard at night and eat fruit plucked just moments before. 6. Tell a beloved person a fairy tale in which he or she is the hero.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The hardiest creature on the planet may be the bacterium known as Deinococcus radiodurans. It can endure exposure to radiation, intense cold, dehydration, acid, and vacuum. I propose we make it your power creature for the coming weeks. Why? Not because I expect you’ll have to deal with a lot of extreme conditions, but rather because I think you’ll be exceptionally robust, both physically and psychologically. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to succeed at demanding challenges that require you to be in top form, now is a good time to do it. P.S. Deinococcus radiodurans is colloquially referred to as Conan the Bacterium, borrowing from the spirit of the fictional character Conan the Barbarian, who is renowned for his strength and agility.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the yearly cycle of many Geminis, retreating into a state akin to hibernation makes sense during the end of August and the first three weeks of September.

But since many of you are high-energy sophisticates, you often override your body’s signals. And then nature pushes back by compelling you to slow down. The result may be a rhythm that feels like constantly taking three steps forward and two steps backward. May I suggest a different approach this year? Would you consider surrendering, even slightly, to the invitation to relax and recharge?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you decide to travel to a particular place via hot air balloon, you must be prepared for the possibility that your route will be indirect. At different altitudes, the wind may be blowing in different directions: toward the east at 100 feet high, but toward the southwest at 200 feet. The trick for the pilot is to jockey up and down until finding a layer that’s headed toward the desired destination. I see your life right now as having a metaphorical resemblance to this riddle. You have not yet discovered the layer that will take you where you want to go. But I bet you will soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Considering how bright you have been burning since the Flame Angels designated you as the Hottest Cool Person of the Month, I hesitate to urge you to simmer down. But I must. Before there’s a meltdown in your vicinity, please lower your thermostat. Not a lot. Just a little. If you do that, everyone will continue to see your gleaming charisma in the best possible light. But don’t you dare extinguish your blaze. Don’t apologize for your brilliant shimmer. The rest of us need your magical radiance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Shogun is a bestselling novel about an Englishman who transforms himself into a samurai warrior in 17th-century Japan. Written by James Clavell, it’s more than 1,100 pages long. Clavell testified that the idea for the story sprang up in him when he read one line in his daughter’s school book: “In 1600 an Englishman went to Japan and became a samurai.” I suspect it’s highly likely you will soon encounter a seed like that, Virgo: a bare inspiration that will eventually bloom into a Big Thing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran athlete Mickey Mantle is in Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame. He had a spectacular 18-year career, winning the Most Valuable Player Award three times,

playing in 12 World Series, and being selected to the All-Star team 16 times. So it’s astounding that he played with a torn ligament in his knee for 17 years, according to his biographer Jane Leavy. She quoted an orthopedic surgeon who said that Mantle compensated for his injury with “neuromuscular genius.” I’m thinking that in the next few weeks you’re in a position to accomplish an equivalent of Mantle’s heroic adjustment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Most people who belong to the Church of Satan neither believe in nor worship Satan. (They’re atheists and don’t believe in the supernatural.) I think a comparable principle is true for many right-wing fundamentalist Christians. Their actions and words are replete with bigotry, hard-heartedness, materialism, and selfishness: so contrary to what the real Jesus Christ taught that they in effect don’t believe in or worship Jesus Christ. I mention this, Scorpio, in hope of inspiring you to take inventory of whether your stated ideals are reflected in the practical details of how you live your life. That’s always an interesting and important task, of course, but it’s especially so for you right now. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to purge any hypocrisy from your system and get your actual behavior in close alignment with your deepest values.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s the right time for you to create a fresh mission statement and promotional campaign. For inspiration, read mine: “My column ‘Free Will Astrology’ offers you a wide selection of realities to choose from. With 4,212 years of dedication to customer service (over the course of my last 13 incarnations), I’m a reliable ally supporting your efforts to escape your oppressive conditioning and other people’s hells.

My horoscopes come with an ironclad guarantee: If the advice you read is wrong, you’re under no obligation to believe it. And remember: A panel of 531 experts has determined that ‘Free Will Astrology’ is an effective therapy for your chronic wounds and primordial pain. It is also dramatic proof that there is no good reason to be afraid of life.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here are good questions for you to meditate on during the next four weeks. 1. How can you attract resources that will expand your mind and your world?

2. Are you bold enough to reach out to wise sources and provocative influences that could connect you with useful tricks and practical treasures? 3. What interesting lessons can you stir up as you explore the mercurial edges, skirt the changeable boundaries, journey to catalytic frontiers, and make pilgrimages to holy hubbubs? 4. How best can you encourage lyrical emotion over polished sentimentality?

Joyous idealism over astringent zealotry? Exuberant integrity over formulaic kindness?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “It is the beginning of wisdom when you recognize that the best you can do is choose which rules you want to live by,” wrote author Wallace Stegner, “and it’s persistent and aggravated imbecility to pretend you can live without any.” That will be an excellent meditation for you during the coming weeks. I trust you are long past the time of fantasizing you can live without any rules. Your challenge now is to adjust some of the rules you have been living by, or even dare to align yourself with some new rules—and then completely commit yourself to being loyal to them and enjoying them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Given the astrological omens that will symbolize your personal story in the coming weeks and months, I think Piscean author Nikos Kazantzakis articulated the perfect prescription for you. I invite you to interpret his thoughts to fit your circumstances. “We’re going to start with small, easy things,” he wrote. “Then, little by little we shall try our hand at the big things. And after that, after we finish the big things, we shall undertake the impossible.”

Here’s an additional prod from Kazantzakis: “Reach what you cannot.” ∆
