Facebook fight over meme leads to a local business’s first negative reviews on Yelp

he owners of a local martial arts gym are in the midst of a nasty fight, but unlike most of their battles, the punches being thrown aren’t in a ring—they’re on the internet. John and Heather Hackleman, owners of The Pit Martial Arts and Fitness in Arroyo Grande, are facing scrutiny after posting a homemade meme on Sept. 8 that some felt poked fun at domestic violence situations. A single comment condemning the post spurred an impassioned back and forth between the Hacklemans and the commenter, leading to online harassment, threats, and The Pit’s first ever negative reviews on Yelp, which were eventually removed for violating the platform’s terms of service. “It was shocking and it was upsetting because I’ve never had this stuff happen before,” Heather told New Times. “I felt that we were being attacked and that our business was being attacked.” The meme in question depicts Heather and John standing next to each other, John motioning as though he’s going to choke Heather. The meme is in a conversational format, with John saying, “I want to choke your F’ing neck.” Heather responds, “Try it bitch, I will end you.” John says, “Ok wanna make-out?” And Heather replies, “No.” The caption posted alongside the meme reads, “This is pretty much every conversation that happens in our house.” Although the original post and many of the comments associated with it were deleted, screenshots provided to New Times show that the situation quickly escalated after one Central Coast resident, Whitney Fugate, commented, “This sounds like domestic violence, but ok.” “If this meme honestly sounds like domestic violence to you,” The Pit responded in a comment, “and not the self-deprecating humor it was intended to … you have way too thin skin and seriously need to lighten up … hopefully you were joking.”

Soon the negative comments on the post were deleted, offended commenters blocked, and then the original post was deleted entirely. On Sept. 9, Fugate created a post of her own about the meme, saying she was appalled that a local martial arts studio would promote, even unintentionally, domestic violence. Several of Fugate’s followers responded with outrage to the meme, throwing out insults about both John, Heather, and The Pit, and calling on each other to leave negative reviews for The Pit on Yelp and Google. When Heather saw those comments on Facebook, she immediately checked The Pit’s Yelp page and saw several of the first negative reviews the business has ever had, all citing the meme and giving one star out of five. None of the reviews were written by people who have ever stepped foot in the gym, Heather said, and one was even written THE CATALYST John and Heather Hackleman, owners by someone living in Tennessee. of The Pit Martial Arts and Fitness in Arroyo Grande, are “To have that [rating] lowered,” she facing scrutiny after posting a homemade meme on Sept. said, “it worried me.” 8 that some felt poked fun at domestic violence situations.

Adam Hill gets a challenger in District 3 supervisor election

A Grover Beach insurance agent and South County Chambers of Commerce leader is running for San Luis Obispo County supervisor. On Sept. 16, Stacy Korsgaden announced her candidacy for 3rd District supervisor. She’s seeking to unseat three-term incumbent Adam Hill in the March 2020 primary election. “Ultimately, I didn’t feel our district was wellrepresented,” Korsgaden told New Times. “I looked around and felt that I was a really good person to step up.”

For about 30 years, Korsgaden has helmed a Farmers Insurance office in Grover Beach. She currently serves as president of the South County Boys & Girls Club and as chair at the South County Chambers of Commerce, according to her campaign website. A newcomer to politics, Korsgaden said her main concern at the county is a lack of civility on the Board of Supervisors. She named homelessness, public safety, and the economy as three priority issues—issues she believes aren’t addressed effectively because of divisions on the board. NEWS continued page 6

“The problem is we don’t seem to be communicating very well,” Korsgaden said. “If we had a group of supervisors that were working together in a nonpartisan way ... what could we do with the homeless issue?” Korsgaden is a registered Republican, but she said she takes the nonpartisan nature of county supervisor seriously. “For the years I’ve been in business, my clients don’t know my political affiliation,” she said. “They know when I sit across the desk I’m solving problems. ... I would translate that into public service.” Korsgaden enters the 2020 race with some catching up to do financially. As of June 30, Hill had already raised $80,000 for his re-election campaign. First elected to office in 2008, Hill is seeking another term as supervisor with one issue front of mind: the closure of Diablo Canyon Power Plant. “The most important issue in the district and in the county is, without a doubt, the future of Diablo Canyon Power Plant,” Hill said in a statement to New Times. “What happens when the plant closes, and how it happens, and the decisions we make about the lands—more than anything, this is why I’m seeking another term. I bring the necessary experience, history, relationships with state and federal leaders, and a keen understanding of the complex set of issues relating to Diablo.” Hill added that there is “no time for novices, certainly no time for a fourth Trump Republican on our Board of Supervisors.” In Korsgaden’s bid to unseat Hill, she said she’s focused on communicating her vision for the district—which includes Avila Beach, Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, Edna Valley, and most of SLO city. “When I started my business a long time ago with my brother, he told me, ‘Stacy, try not to talk poorly about another insurance company, but talk about the contract. Talk about the results,’” Korsgaden said. “So, what’s the difference in outcome that I can provide? I feel strongly that both sides are unhappy with how people just don’t seem to be listening, and I want to change that.” —Peter Johnson

Coastal Commission to decide fate of Cambria affordable housing project

Three residents appealed SLO County’s approval of an affordable housing project in Cambria to the California Coastal Commission, which found substantial issues with the proposed 33-unit apartment complex at its meeting on Sept. 11. Peoples’ Self-Help Housing is going to continue to fight for the project as part of a commitment to the Cambria community, the nonprofit’s CEO John Fowler told New Times. “We have people who are working in Cambria that don’t have a home, that are couch surfing, living with relatives, or commuting long distances. That cuts into their family budgets, food, and medical costs. We know the need in Cambria is huge so we’re not giving up, we’re not deterred at all,” Fowler said. According to the Coastal Commission staff report, SLO County’s approval of the project raises issues about Cambria’s water resources and sensitive habitat

VIEWER DISCRETION because “the county did not determine that there was an adequate sustainable water supply to serve the project.” At a Jan. 10 SLO County Planning Commission meeting, Airlin Singewald, a senior planner in the SLO County Planning and Building Department, said that the proposed project wouldn’t use more water, as the Cambria Community Services District (CSD) sets aside retrofit points for a development like this. Cambria’s retrofit program requires new construction to offset its water demand by purchasing retrofit points or actually retrofitting noncompliant water fixtures within the district’s boundaries. The commission found that the retrofit program itself appears inadequate, the staff report states, and unable to ensure that the proposed water increases would be offset, which is required by the local coastal plan (LCP). Brian O’Neill, the commission’s coastal program analyst, said the main issue with the project relates to impacts on San Simeon and Santa Rosa creeks—where the CSD gets its water. “All the information we have available to us demonstrates that the existing water extractions have had, and continue to have, adverse impacts to these sensitive creek habitats,” O’Neill said. “Our view is that the county’s [local coastal plan] prohibits new water connections until such time that it can be shown the existing water extractions do not have adverse impacts to the creeks or when the CSD can secure a new sustainable water supply.” He said the commission’s action was solely related to whether the appeals raised issues about conformance with the local coastal plan when it comes to maintaining an adequate water supply and protecting sensitive habitats. “The commission did not make final conclusions regarding the project. Those final determinations will not be made until the de novo portion of the hearing,” O’Neill said A de novo hearing essentially sends the appealed project back to the Coastal Commission as if was starting over in the process, which doesn’t give Peoples’ SelfHelp Housing a set date to plead their case. Fowler said it could take anywhere from one to two years before the project goes before the Coastal Commission. “We are confident that we will win this appeal. This is a process we understand quite well, these are appellants that we understand quite well, and we have support of the district and the county. We have all the local support that we need and we just need to carry that through to the commission,” he said. —Karen Garcia

Planning Commission gives green light to Nipomo cannabis grow Cannabis will continue to be farmed on a 29-acre lot in Nipomo after a fervent debate over the project’s proximity to a local elementary school. At a meeting on Sept. 12, the San Luis Obispo County Planning Commission voted 4-1 to approve a conditional use permit for the cannabis grow, a project widely disliked by Nipomo community members and the South County Advisory Council, which voted to oppose the project on Aug. 26. Despite various concerns about odors, pesticides, security personnel, traffic, and the project’s location, county staff said at the Sept. 12 meeting that the cannabis grow has actually been operating since

6 • New Times • September 19 - September 26, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

2016, and since then, there have been no verified nuisance complaints related to the facility. Commissioner Dawn Ortiz-Legg said that while she understands the fear surrounding marijuana cultivation, it’s important that those working to grow cannabis legally aren’t the ones being punished. “Our county has probably been one of the most strict counties as far as getting these things done,” OrtizLegg said at the meeting. “So I appreciate everybody that is here and your comments, and of course, the children and knowing what kind of security needs to be in place to protect the kids. But I think we need to move through this and work through this.” The proposed grow, run by Nipomo Ag LLC, will include a 22,000-square-foot 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. The project would be located in a lowdensity agricultural area at 662 Eucalyptus Road in Nipomo, about a half-mile from Dorothea Lange Elementary School. Though the project site is more than 1,000 feet away from the school— the minimum setback required by law—several Nipomo-area residents with children and grandchildren attending Lange Elementary said the smell of marijuana is often present on the playground and near the school. Community members fear that children will be distracted by the smell at school, that air quality will be worsened, that kids walking to and from Lange might somehow get on the site, and that there could be violence associated with security personnel guarding the crops. Other residents said they had made multiple complaints to the county regarding odors near the school, while some said they didn’t even know that site was already being used for cannabis cultivation. County staff said that while they have received various odor complaints since 2016, there was an illegal grow discovered in the same area, and it couldn’t be verified that the odors were coming from the Nipomo Ag site. Several Nipomo Ag employees spoke in favor of the project and said their jobs at the company are high paying and allow them to provide for their families. The company, which once farmed cut flowers under the name Koch California, still employs the same number of workers, but has lowered pesticide use, reduced traffic significantly, and has cut water use by 90 percent, employees said at the meeting. As of Sept. 18, no one had appealed the Planning Commission’s decision to approve the grow’s permit. Appeals must be filed within 14 days of the vote. —Kasey Bubnash

Fifty housing units could replace failed bowling alley downtown

Plans for a six-story development with 50 housing units in downtown San Luis Obispo are making their way through the city’s approval process. On Sept. 17, the SLO City Council

by Jayson Mellom

gave preliminary feedback on the plans, approving the use of a special overlay zone that would allow for more density on the site at 1144 Chorro St. If ultimately OK’d by the council, the project would end a years’ long vacancy at the Marsh and Chorro street intersection—and would also become one of the tallest buildings in town at 75 feet. The property owner, Jamestown, scrapped prior plans for a bowling alley and entertainment center after a falling out with its previous partner, Discovery SLO. The new project, led by Copeland Properties, includes ground-floor retail, two floors of office space, and three floors of housing units, mostly studio apartments. Proponents say it meets the city’s goal of building housing near job centers and public transit. “This is a project that really checks all the boxes,” said Jim Duffy of the architectural firm Ten Over Studio. To earn the city’s approval for a building taller than 50 feet, the developer is making 25 percent of the units affordable for moderate-income renters and will preserve in perpetuity the public plaza next to the Downtown Centre theater. Moderate income renters earn between $73,000 and $84,000 per year, and the maximum rent that could be charged on those units is $1,300, according to city officials. Public opinion on the project was split at the meeting. Some argued for bringing more housing to the downtown area. Krista Jefferies of Grover Beach said the moderately priced studios will help families like hers afford to live in SLO. “The SLO life is available to fewer and fewer,” she said. But other longtime residents were opposed to the building’s proposed height and density. “I look at this and I think, this doesn’t look like San Luis Obispo at all,” said 40year resident Betsy Schwartz. “Six stories is outrageous in this town.” While citing some concerns about parking, ADA access, and public amenities, City Council members mostly stressed SLO’s dearth of affordable housing and their preference to build downtown as opposed to where it infringes on open spaces. “Housing is the No. 1 concern of the vast majority of this community,” Mayor Heidi Harmon said. “When appropriate, we’re going to need to consider building up.” Next, the project will proceed through the city’s review process, including stops at the Cultural Heritage Committee, Architectural Review Committee, and Planning Commission.

Bilingual at Baywood San Luis Coastal approves dual immersion program at Baywood Elementary

rowing up in a half-American and half-Peruvian family, Los Osos resident Sandra Knapp was raised speaking both Spanish and English. Knowing both languages allowed Knapp to communicate with her older relatives and better understand her family’s colliding cultures. As an adult, Knapp was able to care for her Spanish-speaking grandmother through her battle with Alzheimer’s, a unique chance to help someone who had done so much for her as a child. But now Knapp’s own daughter, a first grader at Monarch Grove Elementary School, is losing her capacity to communicate with her own Spanishspeaking relatives. “Within two weeks of her being at Monarch Grove, she went from fully speaking Spanish at home with me to having it become a fight,” Knapp said at a San Luis Coastal Unified School District meeting on Sept. 12. There, the board of education discussed a proposed bilingual education program at Baywood Elementary School, an area district officials say has been underserved despite the community’s budding interest in dual-immersion. Knapp said at the meeting that since entering school, it’s been a struggle to get her daughter to speak Spanish. But after a recent summer trip to Peru, “the fight was over,” and she was back to speaking Spanish. “Now, we’re back in Los Osos, and she’s in the first grade and the fight is up again,” Knapp said. “I don’t know what else to say other than please don’t miss this opportunity.” The board heeded those words at another meeting on Sept. 17, when its members voted unanimously to implement a dual-immersion language program at Baywood Elementary School, which will be phased in on a year-by-year basis starting with the kindergarten class of 2020-21. The project is estimated to cost more than $140,000 a year for a few years during and after implementation. Although nothing about the program is set in stone, San Luis Coastal Superintendent Eric Prater said students enrolled in the Baywood dual-immersion program will learn through a 90/10 model, spending 90 percent of class

time reading, writing, and speaking in Spanish during the first year, and 10 percent in English. English class time increases gradually each year until students spend equal time learning in each language. For now, Prater said the plan is to keep Baywood a neighborhood school, meaning families living within the Baywood boundaries will automatically be enrolled in the program unless they opt out, a contentious component of the program. “My intention here isn’t to dismantle a neighborhood school,” Prater said at the meeting. “My intention is to harness the energy that exists in that neighborhood school, take and maintain the beautiful things that are happening there, and make, if you will, a strategic shift in some of the educational outcomes that could come from that school.” Pacheco Elementary is San Luis Coastal’s only school currently offering a Spanish-English dual-immersion program, and families who apply for the program are chosen through a lottery system, according to Dawn Addis, a San Luis Coastal teacher on special assignment.

students on this year’s waitlist—students whose families applied to Pacheco but weren’t chosen. About 18 percent of those waitlisted students live on the coast, and about 25 percent of Pacheco’s student population, or 144 students, commute to the school in San Luis Obispo from the coast. Ninety-eight of those students live in Los Osos. With equity being a key district priority, Addis said the board of education recently decided that offering a bilingual education program on the coast might even the playing field while also opening up some slots at Pacheco that would normally be filled by coastal kids. “The bottom line is that, no, there isn’t equitable access in town,” Addis said at the Sept. 12 meeting. “If a student wants to access bilingual education and they live on the coast, they have to go to San Luis Obsipo.” That decision—to send a child to Pacheco or to stay at the neighborhood school—can be a difficult one for parents to make. Several parents who spoke at the meeting said they struggled to decide which was more important: having their child stay in the community or a bilingual education. Some chose to send their children to Pacheco, facing fears about their kids not having friends in the neighborhood. Others chose Baywood, keeping their children close to home and among friends and family. Several community members swore by bilingual education, echoing much of the data included in San Luis Coastal’s report that illustrated benefits associated with learning two languages from a young age, including improved test scores in school and economic and job opportunities later in life. Others had concerns.

teachers, staff, and administrators at nearly every level. Although district officials repeatedly said at the meeting that no teachers will lose jobs throughout the transition, several parents worried that job transfers would be hard on some district employees. Other parents were concerned that special education programs would no longer be offered at Baywood should it transition to a bilingual campus, although district staff say those courses will continue. Most parents’ reservations, though, surrounded enrollment: Would Baywood remain a neighborhood school, prioritizing students from the Los Osos area first, or would it become a choice school, allowing only families who apply and are accepted? Both could lead to their own equity issues, according to parents like Sarah Flickinger, who has a fourth grader at Teach Elementary School in San Luis Obispo. “Keeping it a neighborhood school is what makes it equitable,” Flickinger said at the meeting. Before her daughter transferred to Teach, she went to C.L. Smith Elementary, a neighborhood school in San Luis Obispo that has boundaries reaching all the way to Shell Beach because of Bellevue-Santa Fe Charter School, a neighborhood school turned choice in Avila Beach. With Bellevue opened to the entire district, families in that neighborhood have to travel farther to take their kids to a neighborhood school. “We saw the same thing happen with Pacheco,” she said, “and I think that in order to preserve equity, we need to ensure that is not what occurs here.” But Flickinger said restricting a popular program like dual-immersion to a single neighborhood could present its own issues, like increased property values and gentrification. Rick Mayfield, former principal of Pacheco and current director of learning and achievement for San Luis Coastal, said the district will be taking an indepth look at all community concerns throughout the program’s development. There are countless routes the district could take in addressing the potential complications brought up by parents, and Mayfield said the positive impacts of bilingual education outweigh any possible side effects. “We believe this will have a very positive impact on the community,” he said.

Side effects Newly passed vaccination laws are pushing one parent to pull her children from school

oy Short-Erb said she’s outraged that California’s state legislators would bully doctors who are serving their patients by protecting the medically fragile and those that have reactions to vaccinations. Short-Erb is responding to a pair of bills Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Sept. 9 that would create oversight of medical exemptions for vaccines required by schools and day care centers throughout the state. Senate Bill 276 and Senate Bill 714 were created to crack down on doctors who write faulty medical exemptions for children—an uptick in problematic medical exemptions was discovered by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2018. Under the new laws, the state will start collecting medical exemptions electronically by Jan. 1, 2021, and put them in a database created by the state Department of Public Health. The department will begin reviewing the exemptions in 2020 if a school’s immunization rate falls below 95 percent, when a school fails to provide the department with its vaccination rates, or when a doctor writes more than five medical exemptions. Any exemption written by a doctor who has faced disciplinary action by the state medical board will be automatically invalidated. Under SB 714, existing medical exemptions issued before Jan. 1, 2020, won’t be subject to the new restrictions until the child has to get a required vaccination to attend kindergarten or seventh grade, or to change schools. Short-Erb told New Times that the laws restrict doctors from using their professional opinion to protect patients from extensive and repeated side effects that could be dangerous to the patient’s health. “So, it’s unprecedented that the government would step in the middle of the doctor-patient relationship like that,” she said. Short-Erb is a mother of four and said—without revealing her family medical history—her immediate family has experienced side effects from vaccines. “As a group, we’ve had reactions that are listed in the insert. We’ve had seizures, excessive crying, joint pain directly after a shot was administered, asthma, eczema; we’ve had ticks, symptoms of neuroinflammation, chronic headaches, and food allergies,” Short-Erb said. But she said she wouldn’t classify herself as an anti-vaxxer. Short-Erb was a mom who followed the recommended vaccination schedule, her children experienced side effects, and she chose not to continue. Short-Erb said that next year when parents are required to submit their child’s medical records into the California Immunization Registry to qualify for a medical exemption, she won’t be participating. “We will have to figure out how to homeschool, probably. It’s a total lifechanger. I would say that I’m not a single mom. I do have a husband that

works really hard so I could be able to homeschool. Many people can’t; it’s total discrimination,” she said. San Luis Obispo County Health Officer Penny Borenstein said that if state health officials deny a child a medical exemption, “there is really no option for that child to attend a brick-and-mortar school.” The child would have to be homeschooled. Currently, the county receives annual data regarding medical exemptions by school from the state Department of Public Health. The county doesn’t receive any information on the number of exemptions per physician. Borenstein said the county health department is aware of one SLO County physician whom it believes would meet the criteria of writing more than five medical exemptions and having future medical exemptions reviewed by state health officials. Along with insisting that the new medical exemption regulations will get in between the doctor-patient relationship and will scare doctors into writing fewer exemptions, anti-vaxxers and ex-vaxxers also say these laws will hinder school district funding. There are fewer than 100 students in SLO County currently enrolled in school who have a medical exemption, Borenstein said, and only about 75 percent of those are in public schools. “So I would imagine there’d be very little impact to any individual or district’s budget if some of those children were to be disallowed,” she said. If a parent is worried that their child’s medical condition is not listed on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines to qualify for an exemption, the California Health and Human Services Agency states that Senate Bill 276 and Senate Bill 714 don’t limit the types of medical conditions that would qualify. Medical exemptions, according to Health and Human Services, can be granted for reasons outside the CDC’s and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and American Academy of Pediatrics’ guidelines, including family medical history, if they are consistent with the standard of medical care for that condition. ∆

New energy era SAME LINES, NEW BUYER In January, SLO and Morro Bay residents will begin service with Monterey Bay Community Power. It’s the start of a region-wide transition to Community Choice Energy, which puts local government in charge of buying power and PG&E in charge of delivery and billing.

Monterey Bay Community Power expands through SLO and Santa Barbara counties BY PETER JOHNSON

he expansion happened fast. In the span of a year, 10 Central Coast cities and Santa Barbara County all had voted, one after the other, to join as members of Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP), a growing Community Choice Energy (CCE) utility that currently serves Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito counties. It started with San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay in late 2018. Then Paso Robles and Grover Beach in spring 2019. By the end of August, Santa Maria, Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande, Guadalupe, Goleta, Carpentaria, and unincorporated Santa Barbara County had all jumped on board with MBCP—capping a near region-wide transition to the electricity provider. “It just kind of took off,” said J.R. Killigrew, director of communications for MBCP. “In six months, we more or less have unified the Central Coast.” Each city came at MBCP from a different angle—but all that voted to join noted the CCE’s lower rates and carbonfree energy portfolio compared to PG&E. “I think it’s a safe bet,” said Mike Cordero, a Santa Maria City Council member. “The cost of power goes down, and we won’t be using any fossil fuel energy.” MBCP is a CCE agency (also known as Community Choice Aggregation or CCA), which is a joint powers authority of local governments that buys power for its collective ratepayers and sells it over existing transmission lines as a cleaner, cheaper alternative to the incumbent utility. With the southbound expansion, MBCP’s total customers are expected to almost double, from 275,000 to 470,000 accounts, along with its revenue, making it one of the largest CCE entities in the state. “If we can expand and scale this kind of model that we’ve seen tremendous success with within Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz counties,” Killigrew said, “it really just fits perfectly with our goals and

mission as an agency.” CCE took a long time to take hold in California. But the concept is now proliferating across the state. When MBCP first launched in 2018, it was one of 10 others like it created in the state that year, boosting the overall CCE count to 19. CCEs now procure power for about 4 million customers, or close to a quarter of California’s electricity load. “You can see the explosion start to happen,” said Beth Vaughan, executive director of CalCCA, a legislative advocacy organization for CCE. “It absolutely makes sense that the local communities want their energy providers to be local.” As SLO and Morro Bay gear up to start MBCP service in January 2020—the remaining jurisdictions begin theirs in 2021—proponents say this power pivot aligns the Central Coast with the state’s aggressive push to lower its carbon

emissions, while critics question whether CCEs can deliver on their promises of lower rates, cleaner energy, and local control.

Origins

Before Santa Cruz County Supervisor Bruce McPherson was a pioneer in the CCE world (and a decline-to-state politician), his past life was as a Republican state Assembly member, senator, and secretary of state from 2005 to 2007. All of those years spent in Sacramento exposed McPherson to the concept of CCE, he said. When he retired from state politics and decided to run for local office in 2012, McPherson made CCE a priority in Santa Cruz County. “After I ran for county supervisor, one of the first things I did was say, ‘This would be a great thing to do.’ And we started down the road,” McPherson said. It took several years for the project to gain traction, but eventually the vision for a tri-county CCE venture, MBCP, came to fruition. For McPherson, who now chairs MBCP’s policy board, CCE is about local control, doing right by the environment,

and saving ratepayers money. “It’s a win-win-win situation,” he said. “I agree it seems, in some respects, like it’s too good to be true.” That’s what several elected officials in SLO and Santa Barbara counties said as MBCP made its pitch. What’s the catch? MBCP claims there isn’t one. Now entering its third year as an agency, MBCP has paid off all of its startup debt and managed to amass close to $100 million in reserves. Along with its carbon-free energy mix, MBCP offered 3 percent rate rebates in its first year, 5 percent rebates in its second year, and plans to provide a discount of 7 percent on monthly bills in 2020. It invests more than $1 million per year into local green energy initiatives, like incentive programs for electric vehicle sales and residential solar projects. “We give back to the community if there’s any profits,” McPherson said. MBCP proponents say those benefits and investment opportunities are only going to expand as the agency picks up customers across the region. Elected officials and community leaders can shape those programs while serving on MBCP’s policy, operations, and community advisory boards. If a city has more than 50,000 people, it gets its own board member. If it has fewer than 50,000, it shares a seat with a nearby small community. SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon is representing both SLO and Morro Bay on MBCP’s policy board in 2020. “A mission-driven public organization is able to invest more directly into the community,” explained Chris Read, SLO city’s sustainability manager. “It’s this cycle of economic development and improving local quality of life.” McPherson, who’s a Cal Poly alumnus, said MBCP’s rapid spread through SLO and Santa Barbara counties has even surprised him. “Frankly, we’ve grown more quickly than I might’ve imagined,” he said.

Splitting it up

When a CCE like MBCP enters a community, it doesn’t kick PG&E out of town. PG&E is still delivering the power, maintaining the lines, and billing for it like usual. In fact, a customer isn’t likely going to notice the switch to MBCP unless he or she is paying close attention to their bill, Killigrew said. “It’s a virtual switch,” he said. “The lights don’t change any different color. The electrons don’t flow differently all of the sudden. Everything stays the same.” What’s changed is the entity that’s making decisions about what power to buy on your behalf. Instead of PG&E making those calls and getting paid for it, MBCP is. “[Ratepayers] are now financially supporting MBCP and our power procurement strategies,” Killigrew said. Between November and February, SLO and Morro Bay residents will receive four alerts in the mail about their January 2020 transition to MBCP. The mailers will explain what’s coming and how to revert back to PG&E if preferred. All of the roughly 30,000 customers in SLO and Morro Bay will be automatically enrolled in MBCP unless they individually opt out. Customers have 60 days after enrollment to do so free of charge. Otherwise, they’ll have to pay an administrative fee of $5 for a residential account and $25 for a commercial account. Once a ratepayer opts out, he or she has to stay with PG&E for a full year before switching back. For those who stay with MBCP (96 percent of current ratepayers have chosen to stay), their utility bill essentially gets broken into two separate line charges—a line charge to PG&E for

distribution, and another line charge to MBCP for power generation. MBCP uses that revenue to secure energy contracts, provide its rate discounts, and run the local energy programs. Right now, the majority of MBCP’s power is sourced from large hydroelectric plants in the Pacific Northwest—which are carbon free but, like nuclear power plants, do not qualify as renewable in California because of their environmental impacts. Qualified renewables include solar, wind, small hydro, geothermal, and biomass. In the “who’s cleaner” competition, MBCP’s basic mix beats PG&E’s on carbon: MBCP has a 100 percent carbonfree portfolio, while PG&E’s is 80 percent carbon-free. But on the renewable front, PG&E actually edges MBCP with a higher share of renewables—39 percent to 34 percent. MBCP does offer a “prime” package of 100 percent renewables for 1 cent per kilowatt more. Renewables are a work in progress for MBCP, Killigrew said. Last year, MBCP signed two long-term contracts to develop solar-plus-battery storage in Kings and Kern counties. The projects are being touted as the “largest utilityscale, solar-plus-storage project ever built in California.” When completed, they are expected to provide 278 megawatts of solar capacity combined, plus 85 megawatts of storage. MBCP is also pursuing wind farms. It recently entered into a contract to receive power from a New Mexico wind farm that’s under construction, and it has an memorandum of understanding with Castle Wind, a German outfit, to do business if it wins a bid to open a wind farm off the shores of Morro Bay. That’s not all, Killigrew said. “We’ve shortlisted another six to seven potential renewable energy projects that we hope to have contracts finalized by the end of the year,” he said. “We’re looking at basically having projects to meet somewhere around 40 percent of our annual electric load of the new service area, including Santa Barbara and SLO County.” Suzanne Hosn, a PG&E spokesperson, said in statement to New Times: “We respect the energy choices that are available to our customers, and will continue to cooperate with local governments as they consider pursuing and/or developing a CCA program.” State law bars the company from speaking freely about CCE in public. “PG&E delivers some of the nation’s cleanest electric power,” Hosn added. “For more than 100 years, it has been PG&E’s privilege to provide our customers clean, reliable, and affordable energy, and we look forward to the opportunity to do so for many years to come.”

Lingering concerns

Despite the overall strong support for MBCP on the Central Coast, some jurisdictions were not interested in joining the CCE wave. SLO County and Atascadero both declined to participate in 2021. “We’re taking a big step that I don’t believe there’s any going back from,” said SLO County 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold. “I don’t think we got anywhere near enough debate with the public.” County and Atascadero elected officials are skeptical about MBCP’s promised benefits—that electricity rates would actually remain low, that the energy programs would come back to help their communities, that they’d really achieve local control. The issue of local control is of concern to both proponents and opponents of MBCP. As the number of its participating jurisdictions surpasses 20, retaining the “community” in community

COUNCIL DIVIDED The Santa Maria City Council voted 3-2 in August to participate in Monterey Bay Community Power’s Community Choice Energy program in 2021. Supporters see it as a way to lower rates and invest in green energy, while opponents worry about a lack of local control.

power will be a challenge going forward. “We do need to be paying close attention that our expansion is something that can be properly managed,” SLO Mayor Harmon said. “That’s definitely top of mind for the board. People need to be represented and make sure we don’t get too big.” MBCP says it has no plans to grow the organization beyond the five-county region. But for Santa Maria Mayor Alice Patino, that’s already too big. “You really don’t have local control anymore,” said Patino, who was in the Santa Maria City Council minority opposed to MBCP. “Whatever decision the majority makes in [MBCP], we’ll have to go along with. There may come a time when we want to opt out because we don’t agree with a decision, and can we do that at that time is really a big question.” In response to its own concerns about MBCP, the SLO County Board of Supervisors decided to hire a consultant to produce a $25,000 independent fiscal analysis of MBCP—which will be presented to the board on Oct. 1. At that date, though, it will be too late for the county to change its mind and enroll in the 2021 cycle. “We’re doing our due diligence. For me this is all about saving people money,” said SLO County 1st District Supervisor John Peschong. “We need to do this study to get the real answers here.” The debate over MBCP in SLO County and Atascadero has evolved into something of a political battle, with the board’s and council’s conservative members butting heads against their liberal members. SLO County 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton once called the push for CCE just another “bomb” thrown by progressives into the local political scene. Mike Brown, the governmental affairs director for COLAB in SLO County, who attends nearly every SLO County Board of Supervisors meeting, ripped MBCP as a “scam” on Sept. 10. “If you end up buying into this, you’re going to follow the rest of the sheep into this huge costly scam, which will destroy our integrated energy system and end up costing people lots of money and lots of problems,” Brown said. He tempered his words in a phone call with New Times, when he said: “We’re government watchdogs. We don’t think creating a plethora of new governments is a great idea.” McPherson, the Santa Cruz County supervisor who helped found MBCP, believes that the CCE discussion “has no room for partisanship.” “I know the split down there in SLO,”

he said. “I think it’s short-sighted. It’s probably the national political scene. I’m not going to get into the aspects of how much climate change is going to melt the waters in how many years, I’m just saying it’s better to have a clean environment for our production of electricity, no matter what, and it’s especially beneficial if it costs less.”

California’s push

CCE law has been around since 2002 in California, but the first program, Marin Community Power, didn’t form until 2010. Over the next five years, a few more were established in the Bay Area. Over the last five years, CCE has taken off across the state. The trend is expected to continue: By 2025, PG&E estimates that CCE programs will have absorbed 85 percent of its load share. Vaughan, of the CCE advocacy group, CalCCA, said several factors have contributed to this movement. The threat of climate change has propelled cities and counties to look at ways they can lower their community carbon footprint. And the state Legislature has adopted aggressive renewable energy mandates that align with CCE’s mission. Senate Bill 100, passed in 2018, set 2045 as the target date to achieve 100 percent carbon-free electricity. “What we see with our energy sector, the transition we’re going through, is how we’re going to achieve SB 100,” Vaughan said. “We have a climate crisis, so what happens next? How do we collectively as a group make sure we respond to these challenges and ensure we achieve our

climate goal?” Read, SLO city’s sustainability manager, said the growth of CCE is helping push incumbent utilities like PG&E to meet their renewable targets faster. “A lot of the utilities were hitting their renewable portfolio standards targets, but the CCAs come online and the rate that that acceleration is occurring is dramatic,” Read said. “They’re pushing forward at a more rapid pace.” But there are also some people who are concerned about so much shuffling around in the market. PG&E’s bankruptcy and Diablo Canyon Power Plant’s looming closure only compound those qualms. Last year, the California Public Utilities Commission, which regulates the power industry, commissioned a report about how CCE is altering the energy landscape. The report raised questions: “How do we protect safe delivery of electricity to meet customer demand in an increasingly fragmented market? How will we ensure that increasing fragmentation of suppliers and buyers will add up to meet our ambitious clean energy goals?” For some, the situation echoes the conditions that precipitated the electricity crisis of the early 2000s. “We can talk about the failed energy deregulation 20 years ago. We remember how quickly that fell apart,” Peschong, SLO County’s 1st District Supervisor, said. As CCE becomes an increasingly bigger player in the state energy mix, some predict that investor-owned utilities’ business model will have to shift away from load serving toward distribution and wholesale production. How it all shakes out is an unfolding story. “All of that is up in the air,” Vaughan said. As for MBCP—which will eventually be renamed and rebranded with a Central Coast regional theme—its rapid expansion through the Central Coast is an indicator of just how much CCE has caught on in California. SLO Mayor Harmon, whose city is chasing a 2035 net-zero emissions goal, believes the jurisdictions that held out of MBCP—and CCE in general—will come to reconsider. “The county and city will really soon come to see the economic, not to mention the environmental, benefits of it,” Harmon said. “I think eventually you’ll see the entire state and entire country in CCE programs. That’s only a matter of time.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

big white barn just south of San Luis Obispo is ready to start its new life as a pivotal place along three planned bike paths for event hosting and remembering history. Since 1997, the Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County has had big plans for the Octagon Barn off of South Higuera Street, Executive Director Kaila Dettman said. Twenty years and more than $7 million later, the Octagon Barn Center is hosting a grand opening celebration on Sept. 21 with food, wine, and fun for the community from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. “The barn itself was basically falling down in 1997, so the restoration has been long term,” Dettman said. “It still feels like a cool, old barn. We wanted to make sure it was a space that was open and free.” In addition to keeping the barn, which was built in 1906, as true to original form as possible, the Land Conservancy was able to restore an old milking parlor into a “state-of-the-art” event center, build restrooms and an outdoor patio, and pave a parking lot on the site, which it leases from the Hayashi family and CalTrans. Although the project has been two decades in the making, Dettman said it really picked up steam in 2012, when the Land Conservancy entered into a partnership with San Luis Obispo County to use the Octagon Barn as a staging area for the completed Bob Jones Trail (although, that trail has yet to be finished). With a conditional use permit in hand and the vision for specific amenities all worked out, the conservancy was able to start raising money. The county and the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments put up more than $2.5 million for the parking lot and a lefthand turn lane off of Higuera. About $1 million more came from a state grant, the city of San Luis Obispo, and additional funding from the county (specifically for the on-site bathrooms). The rest of the money was raised through private donations. “The vast majority of the grants and the private donations have all been raised in the last eight or nine years,” Dettman said. “It was an excellent example of a public/private partnership.” As a staging area for the Bob Jones

Trail, the location of the Octagon Barn is key, Dettman said. Land for something like this is limited on that side of town, she said—space for amenities such as bathrooms and a paved parking lot and an event center for fundraisers, concerts, and makers markets. Plus, it’s right along the corridor that the Bob Jones Trail will eventually travel to connect the city to sea, San Luis Obispo to Avila Beach. Two other bike trails are planned to connect with the staging area as well, one on Los Osos Valley Road and one that will go along Buckley Road once it gets pushed all the way through to Higuera Street. “It’s going to be quite a hub,” Dettman said. “We want it to be a beloved asset for the community and there’s a lot of interest. We’re really excited about what it will bring for the community. It’s really great to be at this moment.” The Land Conservancy plans to start free docent tours of the barn in 2020, has opened its reservation system for events in 2020, and hopes to have the gates open to the public daily starting the first of the year. Funding is still needed for construction and start-up costs. Visit the Land Conservancy’s website to learn more at lcslo.org.

We also know that many people will continue to use personal vehicles, and for that reason, we are concurrently working on our electric vehicle infrastructure. Thanks to the pace of change in the electric vehicle industry spurred on by smart policy leadership, there has been a revolution in what is possible in clean transportation. More electric vehicles are on the road than ever before, and while there is still an accessibility challenge, they are affordable to more and more people. It’s not hard to envision a future where most of California’s transportation needs can be met with battery-powered, zeroemission vehicles. In the face of the global climate crisis, it’s a future we can and must move toward. And as National Drive Electric Week kicks off Sept. 14 through 22, we should be doing everything we can to spur that future forward. Young people and others around the world are speaking out to remind us of our moral responsibility to leave the world better than we found it. California’s utilities are moving rapidly toward cleaner sources—but transportation remains the largest sector adding to California’s contribution to climate change, at a massive 41 percent. Now is the time we

should be electrifying everything, from city fleets to household transportation. Electric vehicles are just one of the many solutions we need to implement to help address the massive emissions from California’s transportation sector. Calling for more affordable and accessible housing near transportation hubs, while also transitioning our public transportation systems to become more sustainable, are critical solutions. It’s imperative that clean transportation policies are rooted in environmental justice so that they help address the historical inequities that have burdened communities of color and low-income neighborhoods with more air pollution than the rest of us. The California Air Resources Board acknowledges that increased exposure in disadvantaged communities to diesel particulates from things like car exhaust leads to double the cancer risk of California’s average. That’s unacceptable. As we transition toward vehicle electrification, we must recognize the financial barriers that exist in purchasing new technology and ensure accessible, affordable choices are available to marginalized communities who are most impacted by this crisis.

Council on Clean Transportation recently studied dozens of local governments and compared the use of electric vehicles in each community. They concluded that there is a lot that local leaders can do to move the needle, including providing incentives, supporting charging infrastructure, and building public awareness. In San Luis Obispo, we’re supporting vehicle electrification by ensuring new parking lots in commercial and multi-family construction set aside 10 to 15 percent of spaces for charging stations. We’re partnering with thirdparty providers to lease space for highspeed charging infrastructure. We’re purchasing electric vehicles for use in the city fleet, and we’ve commissioned a study to analyze policy options that are working in other communities. Done right, electric vehicles present an important opportunity to help everyday people save money on transportation costs while reinvesting in their community. One electric vehicle owner living in San Luis Obispo was able to invest the $800 rebate in her sustainable surf wax company. Her electric vehicle purchase meant that she reinvested nearly a thousand dollars in her business and the local community, while also saving her hundreds of dollars in driving costs. Electric vehicles are spurring innovations and economic opportunities throughout our community. Other California communities are leading the way, too. Sacramento set a high standard with its 2017 electric vehicle strategy. The process asked the hard questions about who the new technology would benefit and analyzed where electric

vehicle charging infrastructure is located, overlaid with a map of the neighborhoods that have historically borne the brunt of air pollution. The impressive result included a $44 million commitment for electric vehicle infrastructure investments, with an emphasis on communities more impacted by pollution, as well as innovations like electric vehicle car-sharing. Los Angeles’ newly released sustainability policy, known as pLAn, sets the goal of fully converting all vehicles in LA to zero emissions by 2050. The city has established milestones along the way to electrify the city’s buses, taxis, and delivery vehicles; the Port of LA; and more. The estimated air quality benefits alone will prevent nearly 1,000 premature deaths per year. San Francisco-based environmental organization stand.earth used San Luis Obispo’s electric vehicle program to study how local communities can implement effective and equitable electric vehicle programs. The nonprofit plans to work with a dozen more communities to identify similar policies that local governments can quickly and easily implement that will make the most difference. Nearly every community in California, large or small, has simple policies they can implement to support the local transition to electric vehicles. California leads the nation on climate justice, but when it comes to tackling the impacts of our transportation pollution, we all need to step up even more. As we face the unfolding climate crisis, it’s imperative that we imagine a future where most of California’s transportation needs COMMENTARY continued page 16

Propagandists and the selective omission of contradictory fact The Sept. 12 issue ’s opinion contributions by the founders of “Mothers for Nuclear” (“Natural-gas-fueled electricity”), as well as Mark Henry— the “father” of nuclear—(“A convenient untruth”), as well as an Al Fonzi piece (“Defending sandcastles”) proved “an embarrassment of riches” for those who disagree with them. First, apparently, the Mothers for Nuclear have not considered the issue of nuclear waste disposal when pushing for nuclear power as a “renewable” source of “carbon-free energy.” If they had, they would have learned that the waste already generated will be deadly radioactive for the foreseeable future and

No one can even comfortably assure us that the steel/ concrete repositories at the Diablo Canyon site will hold indefinitely. Until those problems are resolved, I, for one, welcome renewable energy like wind and water and sun. As to Mr. Fonzi’s comments on Dr. William Gray, the late much-lauded hurricane authority and very vocal denier of the theory that the activities of man such as drilling for fossil fuels and fracking has anything to do with climate change, I have this to say: Fonzi’s propaganda mill seems to ignore anything that challenges his opinions. For one thing, 97 percent of today’s climatologists attribute climate change to the very fossil fuel extraction activities that Gray (and Fonzi) denies are responsible. For another, Gray’s theories

and seminars on climate change were definitely not apolitical as they were supported and promoted by the Heartland Institute, which collectively received more than $60 million from ExxonMobil, The Koch Brothers, and the conservative Scaife Family Foundation (Google it). I echo our founders’ belief that the democratic system supports the concept that every person is entitled to strong opinions on almost every subject, but I resent the selective omission of every fact contrary to the opinion holder’s belief. That is just intellectual dishonesty. Istar Holliday Arroyo Grande

Thoughts on the ‘old guys’ alleged to be at BlackHorse

I was amused to read about the “packs of old guys with their awesome dogs” at downtown BlackHorse in your recent Student Guide (“New Times rates downtown SLO’s coffee shops for your studying pleasure,” Sept. 12). I agree that everything about BlackHorse is terrific. As a member of a men’s hiking group who coffee up there twice a week with their dogs, I’m left with two questions. Where are the students who are looking for “focused studying” at 8 a.m.? And where are the “old guys,” since I haven’t seen any. Craig Updegrove San Luis Obispo

Downtown SLO is about the good times, too

In response to Kasey Bubnash’s cover story that ran on Sept. 5, which asked “What’s up with downtown?” I offer words from the wise Yogi Berra, who once said, “Nobody goes there anymore; it’s too crowded.” New Times, what gives? This cover story didn’t hit the mark. Your office is downtown. You know what’s going on. Businesses come, and businesses go. After lengthy careers, people deserve to retire. And in a free market, sometimes businesses aren’t successful. That’s the breaks. And while it is true that there are some vacancies downtown, there’s a much more compelling story to be told about how downtown San Luis Obispo is thriving. In fact, since January, more than 30 new businesses opened in downtown San Luis Obispo. Astonishingly, 20 of those are locally owned. Could we shine a light on how our local community supports those businesses? Boo Boo Records celebrates its 45th anniversary this year, HumanKind Fair Trade turned 10, The Sock Drawer turned 12, and we just got an Athleta, which, yes, is a chain store, but it is a B-corp. And it’s not like chain stores are a new concept to downtown— just ask the folks who used to shop at Montgomery Ward, JC Penney, and Sears back in the “good old days.” Here in SLO, there is a healthy mix of locally owned and national businesses and experiences for any person to enjoy. For example, look at The Junk Girls, turning antiques into environmentally friendly home goods and art pieces. Or talk to the folks at Blackwater, who were thrilled to move their retail space into a larger, more visible location on Higuera. In the mood for browsing books? You can go corporate and find any title you want at Barnes and Noble, or if you

want a more meandering trip through the literary arts, step into Phoenix Books. Want culture? There’s a historic restaurant at Mee Heng Low Noodle House. You can watch solar-powered art films at the Palm Theatre, or catch the newest flick at The Movie Experience at Downtown Centre. Into live performance? You can see beloved musicals and cutting-edge theatrical readings at San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre, which, incidentally, will be building a new facility that will be attached to a new parking structure at Palm and Nipomo. You can see live musicians, comedians, and touring acts at the out-of-this-world art deco Fremont Theater SLO, which is in the process of being lovingly restored. And out on the streets, our electrical boxes are painted by local artists because the city of SLO Public Art program cares to make our public thoroughfares beautiful. I could go on and on. People come downtown daily, and people from all over the state and the world want to visit our downtown. Two new hotels are poised to open this fall (more than a dozen years after initial approval for these projects). Cal Poly is coming back in session this week, and students are a vital life force for our downtown, working in our shops and restaurants, and spending their dollars. You want parking? Our downtown has three parking structures, and you can park for free for the first 60 minutes. And if that’s not enough, there’s a totally amazing weekly street festival— Downtown SLO Farmers’ Market—that takes place every single Thursday night that just won Sunset Magazine’s Readers Travel Choice Award for Best Farmers’ Market in the West. Downtown SLO has tree-lined streets, friendly people, low skylines, beautiful views, great shopping, fantastic dining and drinking, and there are countless people, myself included, who are proud to work every day on its behalf. There are so many positive stories to tell, every single day. See you downtown. Bettina Swigger CEO, Downtown SLO

Nuclear power is a risk to the public

“A convenient untruth” (Sept. 12) is exactly what this partisan screed is all about, but not in the way that Mark Henry has described it. Henry loves linking the Democratic party to the argument against nuclear power for purely pecuniary reasons, refers to the brilliant Helen Caldicott as just another anti-nuclear hysteric, and then predictably blasts the Green New Deal as a “delusion: a convenient untruth.” Not mentioned anywhere in this wrongheaded rant is the fact that nuclear power is no longer the darling of the utility companies for the simple reasons that the spent fuel cannot be stored or transported without considerable risk to the public, nor is it cheaper to use than solar or windproduced energy. If Henry is really convinced that nuclear power’s reputation is “already distorted and unfair,” perhaps he should offer his own SLO backyard as a repository for a few spent fuel rods from the Diablo Canyon site. What could possibly go wrong with such a glowing tribute to the nuclear power industry? John Winthrop Cayucos

Rhetoric&Reason

BY ANDREW CHRISTIE

What’s really killing plovers

estern snowy plovers are rare and threatened. They are also very small, but their bodies, when found crushed and mangled at the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (ODSVRA)—as happened on four occasions last month—contain a great deal of information beyond the biological. They bear witness to decades of regulatory failure at the park. As much as they are being run over by cars, they are being flattened by political maneuvering. This shredding of the Endangered Species Act due to cars and trucks continuing to be allowed to drive through an environmentally sensitive habitat area is one reason why the staff of the California Coastal Commission at its July 11 meeting in SLO recommended that commissioners put in place amendments to State Parks’ coastal development permit for the park. The proposed amendments included stricter off-highway vehicle (OHV) use limits, a prohibition on nighttime vehicular activity, increased

operational enforcement, and a permanent, year-round protective area for the plovers. Had the commission voted to implement one or more of those amendments to the ODSVRA permit, some or all of those deaths could have been avoided. The same could be said of the commission’s failure to take action when it reviewed the permit at its 2017 meeting in Cambria, or at its 2015 meeting in Pismo Beach. On each occasion, the commission refrained from exercising its regulatory authority in the face of clear violations and the longstanding unwillingness by State Parks’ OHV division to address them. On each occasion, the commission instead asked Parks officials, in the spirit of collegiality and cooperation, to please fix the problems on their own. In 2016, six dead plovers were found in tire tracks over eight months. This year: four dead plovers in nine days. Per The Tribune’s Sept. 8 report of last month’s string of deaths, the parks biologist said, “Unfortunately, we don’t have a big enough staff to watch all these birds every hour of the day.” “Be aware of signs advising you about wildlife, be aware of speed limit signs,” he told The Trib, “and be extra cautious of wildlife—they have the right of way.” The biologist said that this is the time of year when State Parks does normally find some dead birds “because the snowy

“The bird had been split in half. The upper portion of the snowy plover was on the west side of a tire track and the bottom half was on the east side of the tire track…. The entrails of the bird were found on the east side of the tire track just north of the lower half.” —State Parks Public Safety Report, Aug. 23, 2019

Organizations

plovers are entering their non-breeding season where they tend to roam around the beach more,” the article stated. Well, thank goodness it’s normal. And hey, if birds insist in engaging in excessive roaming, what are you gonna do? A reliance on signage and a confessed inability to protect threatened species in your care constitute an unacceptable response to an ongoing violation of state and federal environmental laws. This is at the heart of the conclusion of coastal analysts’ 2019 review of the ODSVRA’s coastal development permit: “It is clear that the coastal resource issues and constraints warrant elimination of OHV use at the park.” On July 12, the Coastal Commission conveyed the message to State Parks: All of the proposed permit conditions in the commission staff report “must be addressed as permanent conditions within [State Parks’ public works plan] process,” and “it is time to explore alternatives to transition away from high-intensity off-highway vehicle (OHV) use to other forms of public access and recreation in order to meet Coastal Act requirements” at the Oceano Dunes. At the Coastal Commission’s Sept. 11 meeting in Newport Beach, a Sierra Club representative asked the commission why it felt compelled to write three letters to Lisa Mangat, director of the California

Department of Parks and Recreation, over a period of three weeks, stating and restating the outcomes of the commission’s July meeting. One clue: On Aug. 15, the Off-Highway Vehicle Commission thanked Parks Director Mangat for stonewalling the Coastal Commission in a letter in which she told the commission that she considered all of their recommendations to be either unnecessary or premature. Mangat modestly accepted the thanks of the OHV rep, agreeing “that letter did deliver a strong message,” and adding that “it was a statement on behalf of folks above me, too. The Natural Resources Agency was very involved in that, and Secretary Wade Crowfoot provided good counsel and we spent a lot of time with him on that.” It would seem that the California Natural Resources Agency, which oversees both State Parks and the Coastal Commission, is serving as the stumbling block on the path to the resolution of the chronic environmental issues at the dunes. If you have a beak and feathers, there’s not much you can do about that. Those of you with voices and opposable thumbs might want to let the governor know how you feel at govapps.gov.ca.gov/gov40mail, by phone at (916) 445-2841, or fax at (916) 558-3160. ∆ Andrew Christie is director of the Santa Lucia chapter of the Sierra Club.

Opinion

The Shredder

Cyber ninja fu!

ould you rather know how to take a punch or a joke? At Arroyo Grande martial arts gym The Pit, you can learn how to take both! Owners of The Pit, John and Heather Hackleman, recently got beat-up online after posting a meme to The Pit’s Facebook page with a photo of the couple at a women’s self-defense seminar, under which they wrote the following: “Me: I wanna choke your F’ing neck Her: Try it bitch, I will end you Me: Ok, wanna make-out Her: No” Umm. What? Well, I don’t understand it, but apparently Facebook user Whitney Fugate thought she did and didn’t like it at all! Offended and on the internet, she responded as any good troll worth their salt would, calling out The Pit and its owners for promoting domestic violence (which, is that what they were doing?). Then, people with nothing better to do— yep, more trolls—jumped on the anti-Pit bandwagon, with some weaponizing Yelp to get even over being offended. They, including some lady from Tennessee (really?), gave the business its first bad reviews, even though they’d never stepped foot in the gym. I bet The Pit offers multiple assailant training, but even the Hacklemans weren’t prepared for this onslaught of righteous cyber indignation! Once the internet train of outrage gets going, it’s

hard to stop. Of course, instead of backing down, the fighting Hacklemans stepped further into the offended internet asylum! “Everyone has different ways of joking,” Heather responded to Fugate. “Sorry you don’t like it.” Ooh. Sounds like a snide “sorry not sorry” apology, but John went further. “I’m sorry, it sounds like you were a victim of some type of domestic violence, … I guarantee you I’ve been beaten more than you, and it’s not offending me.” Really? That’s your argument? Good lord. I feel like taking back everything I’ve already said. And the meme you posted didn’t offend you? Clap. Clap. Clap. “I’m sorry I offended you, I hope you can find some help over this,” John continued, because it’s the internet and he Just. Couldn’t. Stop. Keep digging, John. The internet hole goes deep. The whole affair also brings up the power of the internet and its ability to publicly shame. Or its ability to make people sound like a bunch of kids on the playground shouting prepubescent taunts at each other. “For someone that claims to be ‘the voice,’ for those who ‘may have been offended,’ you sure were quick to Cyber Bully,” Heather wrote in another post.

Dammit guys! It’s hard to be on your side when you jump into the fray. Shockingly, The Pit owners convinced Yelp to take down the negative reviews, removed Fugate’s comments from their Facebook page, and blocked her, which is a super adult thing to do. Then, they just kept going and going. “For us this was a JOKE!!! Mob mentality at its finest,” Heather wrote. I guess it’s a just-keep-punching-back kind of thing. Hurt egos and the internet don’t mix well. But hey, man! The Pit is where Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell—the former UFC Light-Heavyweight Champion—trained! It’s the sort of dojo that posts 6-minute YouTube videos admonishing parents for teaching their children to never throw the first punch, because they need to throw the first punch! “Is it OK to teach your child to strike first? Yeah, preemptively, yes, it is,” John said in the video. “Will they get suspended? Maybe they will. Will they get expelled from school? Terrible! They might be. Then you go talk to the principal, but you can’t talk to the principal if your kid’s dead.” Again. Really!? Sweep the leg, Johnny! Cobra Kai for life! Look, Fugate has every right to be offended, but does it always need to end with the volume up on the crazy dial? Then for the Hacklemans to respond with vitriol after removing the perceived negative comments so they can shout into their own echo chamber is like a couple of teenage cliques squaring off at recess.

And speaking of arrested development, is Andy Caldwell, Republican candidate for Salud Carbajal’s 24th Congressional District seat, kidding? In an interview with The Tribune, Caldwell’s lack of nuance and dogmatic thinking were on full display. He said we needed to start offshore drilling because, “We have the second most prolific oil seeps in the world off of the Central Coast. Drilling relieves the pressure from those natural gas seeps.” Yeah! We need to drill offshore to prevent oil from polluting our environment, because there are never oil spills or accidents that can do real damage, right? Dumb. “I believe the only thing that climate does is change,” Caldwell told The Trib. “I’m not going to believe that man is causing or accelerating climate change until somebody explains the Ice Age to me.” Well, you can Google it, Andy! The information is out there, ready for you to consume! And while you’re at it, Andy, you can also Google “climate change.” Apparently you need a refresher. Science? He don’t need no stinking science! Caldwell, taking a page right out of the current Trump visiting California Playbook, also claims that Democratic leadership has made urban areas into “third world hellholes.” Dude, you sound just like the right wing talk radio pundit you are. ∆ The Shredder punches up.

The godfather

Virtuosic multi-instrumentalist David Bromberg comes to the Fremont Theater

avid Bromberg may have just turned 74 today (Sept. 19), but the master multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter hasn’t lost a step when it comes to his stunning fingerstyle fretwork. Over his five-decade career, he’s collaborated with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Willie Nelson, and Jerry Garcia, among others, working in blues, bluegrass, folk, jazz, country and western, and rock genres. He can play acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, pedal steel, dobro, and violin. Bromberg actively recorded in the ’70s, releasing 10 albums between 1972 and 1980. Then, he slowed down considerably, sometimes taking many years between releases, but in 2007, he returned with the Grammy-nominated Try Me One More Time. His most recent album, 2016’s The Blues, the Whole Blues, and Nothing But the Blues, is his 18th.

HARVEST JAZZ WITH IRENE CATHAWAY TRIO AND DORIAN MICHAEL Irene Cathaway Trio joins

The album focuses on the music Bromberg discovered in high school when he was introduced to a friend’s dad’s collection of blues 78s. “I loved those 78s so much,” Bromberg said in press materials. “I taped them on a portable reel-to-reel so I could listen at home and learn.” At the time, he’d only recently taken up guitar as a way to pass the time while he was laid up with the measles, and soon he was woodshedding and building his skills. The album reflects this earliest musical interests. “There’s a lot of different types of blues on there,” Bromberg noted. “We decided to start it off with a dyed-in-the-wool blues [Robert Johnson’s ‘Walkin’ Blues’], but there’s also country blues [‘Kentucky Blues’], and gospel-influenced blues [‘Yield Not’].” Bromberg’s got a deep catalog of originals and a massive repertoire of covers and traditionals in multiple genres, so who IT GIRL knows what he’ll play at Country this show, but you can see singer David Bromberg—the Maren Morris man often called the makes a godfather of Americana stop at the and the co-creator of Avila Beach the newgrass genre—at Golf Resort the Fremont Theater on during her Friday, Sept. 20 (doors at “Girl—The 7 p.m.; all ages; $30.83 to World $42.56 at Boo Boo Records Tour,” on or fremontslo.com). Sept. 20. Exceptionally talented local singer-songwriter Mark Adams opens. Also at the Fremont, don’t forget about oldschool soul act Durand

Maren Morris’ new song, “Girl” (and its excellent accompanying video), is an inspired feminist anthem and real gut punch to institutional patriarchy. It’s a song about how women are often beaten down, sometimes by one another, but how if they claim their equality and support one another, “everyone’s gonna be OK.” “Man, this shit’s unflatterin’, all up in

It’s inspirational, and it’s also inspiring to find three strong female country singers sharing the bill this Friday, Sept. 20, when Maren Morris makes a stop at the Avila Beach Gold Resort as part of her “Girl—The World Tour” (gates at 5 p.m.; show at 6 p.m.; all ages; $56 to $201 at Boo Boo’s and eventbrite.com), with special guests Kassi Ashton and Hailey Whitters.

Four on the dance floor

Over the next week, the SLO Brew Rock Event Center will host four shows starting with The Paper Kites on Friday, Sept. 20 (7 p.m.; 18-and-older; presale $20 at Boo Boo’s and slobrew.com; $25 day-of-show). “Give them your tired, your lonely, your lovesick, your unsure, and the Australian folk-rock group The Paper Kites have a song for each of them,” organizers said. Punk and indie rockers Titus Andronicus plays on Monday, Sept. 23 (8 p.m.; 18-and-older; $16 at Boo Boo’s and slobrew.com), with special guest, Control Top, opening the show. Dream pop act Amo Amo plays on Wednesday, Sept. 25 (8 p.m.; 18-andolder; $15 at Boo Boo’s and slobrew.com). The band—Omar Velasco, Love Femme, Justin Flint, Shane McKillop, and Alex Siegel—had an impromptu jam with Jim James (My Morning Jacket), who “proved the right ferryman to take them across the creative river to where the revelatory, mystic moment awaited,” press materials claimed. “Five months later, after a month-long recording retreat with Jim in an old house in central California’s countryside, Amo Amo emerged with a collection of songs full of soul and magic.” Finally, Texas troubadour Paul Cauthen plays on Thursday, Sept. 26 (8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $16 at Boo Boo’s and slobrew.com), with Anna Rose.

Bonzo Dogs

If you saw The Beatles’ movie Magical Mystery Tour, you might recall a song by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band: “That night Cutie called a cab, uh huh huh/ (baby don’t do it)/ She left her East Side room so drab uh huh huh/ (baby don’t do it)/ She went out on the town/ Knowin’ it would make her lover frown/ (Deathcab for Cutie)/ (Death-cab for Cutie)/ Someone’s gonna make you pay your fare.” That 1967 song was where the name of indie and alt-rock act Death Cab for Cutie came from. The band formed in Bellingham, Washington, in 1997, and quickly became an underground favorite thanks to their unconventional instrumentation and frontman Ben Gibbard’s (guitar, piano) unusual voice and lyrical style.

DREAM POPPERS Amo Amo brings their psychedelic rock sounds to the SLO Brew Rock Event Center on Sept. 25.

The eight-time Grammy-nominated act has nine studio albums to their credit, most recently Thank You for Today (2018). See them at the Vina Robles Amphitheatre on Saturday, Sept. 21 (8 p.m.; all ages; $39.50 to $59.50 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com). Also at Vina Robles, chart-topping rockers The Revivalists play next Thursday, Sept. 26 (8 p.m.; all ages; $45 to $79.50 at vinaroblesamphitheatre. com). The New Orleans octet delivers soulful alt-rock anthems “with soaring pedal steel guitar, pounding percussion, irresistible horns, and charismatic frontman David Shaw’s undeniable voice,” press materials said.

Tribute

Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents have two punk tribute acts—Blink180True and Green Today—playing The Siren on Saturday, Sept. 21 (8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $12 at Boo Boo’s or ticketfly. com). High-energy trio Blink-180True pays homage to pop-punk legends Blink-182, while Green Today celebrates the music of—you guessed it—Green Day. Hear the hits, hit the mosh pit!

The Russian Ballet Theatre presents its production of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake at the Performing Arts Center (PAC) in SLO on Friday, Sept. 27, at 7:30 p.m. Based on the classic German fairy tale, this ballet tells the tragic love story of Prince Siegfried (Evgeny Svetlitsa) and Princess Odette (Olga Kifyak), who’s cursed to be a swan by day and can only assume her human form at night. Other cast members include Mikhail Ovcharov as the Jester and Vasili Bogdan as Rothbart. This contemporary iteration of the show features unique choreography by Nadezhda Kalinina, production design by Sergey Novikov, and special makeup effects by Irina Strukova. Tickets to Swan Lake range from $32 to $74. The Russian Ballet Theatre will donate a portion of ticket sales to local public schools in a collaboration with the Plus1 Initiative and DonorsChoose. One dollar per ticket sold will support schools in or around each city on the company’s 2019 tour. Visit donorschoose. org for more details.

Finding the justice in justice Studios on the Park highlights work of incarcerated individuals and poses questions about restorative justice

or more than a decade, Studios on the Park in Paso Robles has displayed the work of fine artists. But for its newest exhibit, Justice in Justice—a collection of works centered on America’s incarceration system—the nonprofit decided to get a little unconventional. “What we decided to do was, rather than mostly targeting artists that specialize in this content, we went to people who run organizations that interface with this community on a regular basis, some of whom have supportive arts programs in the prisons,” said Henry A.J. Ramos, a founding member of the downtown gallery. The result is an exhibition showcasing the work of incarcerated individuals and exoffenders. Ramos, who was closely involved with Justice in Justice’s curation, said art can be “a kind of therapeutic, expressive form of recovery for a lot of these individuals as they try to make sense of what’s happened in their lives, and how they can go on.” Witnessing the art that incarcerated or formerly incarcerated people are making about their own experiences with our justice system can also help to humanize them to the public, he said. The exhibit, which opened Sept. 4, will run through Sept. 29. On the opening night, the art was accompanied by a screening of Healing Justice, a documentary that considers how the American justice system disproportionately targets marginalized communities. On Sept. 21, Ramos will moderate a panel discussion affiliated with the exhibition, called “Advancing New Models in Community Violence Prevention and Restorative Justice.” “We want to inspire thought and dialogue

around these issues,” Ramos said about the panel. “We definitely want to encourage an engagement with community leadership.” Panelists include Dr. Leola Dublin Macmillan, a critical cultural scholar, essayist, and activist; Fred “Bull” Chaney, executive director of Gatehelp Inc.; and Ty Lewis, Paso Robles police chief. “We want to look at solutions and look at models that are working, that might be adoptable here in our region,” Ramos said, “a more humanistic, realistic, and durable way of dealing with these very unfortunate realities of our society.” The head curators of Justice in Justice, Kevin and Heather Mikelonis, hope that the exhibition will open up a conversation around the transactional way in which our justice system currently operates. “I don’t think a lot of people study how the criminal justice system works,” Kevin said. “It’s so important to know about what’s going on so you can vote accordingly and support policies and organizations. ...This is a way to do that on the local level.” Heather emphasized the importance of humanizing incarcerated or formerly incarcerated folks through art. “What happens to people when they’re given those opportunities to have proper treatment, guidance, love, and compassion, as opposed to just a punitive, ‘You did something wrong, go sit in the corner’?” Heather said. “I firmly believe that we are all humans and all deserve a chance to process through the different problems we’ve had.” Ramos also emphasized the importance of second chances, as well as rethinking the way we define what’s “criminal.”

To learn more about Studios on the Park, the Justice in Justice exhibit, and related programming, visit Studios’ website at studiosonthepark.org.

“As things are evolving and our society is moving, things that we accept as being unacceptable or criminal 20 or 30 years ago are now in question,” Ramos said. “Cannabis is a really good example. We threw tens of thousands of people in jail for relatively small amounts of cannabis use in the 1980s and 1990s. ... Now, you can go to a store in Grover Beach and you can buy that same substance. It’s all legal. We’ve got to look at some of our assumptions.” Ramos uses the term “restorative justice” to talk about finding ways to help incarcerated people get back on their feet, rather than keeping them in a vicious cycle of recidivism. “We’ve seen a real increase of mass incarceration in our society, a lot of it along racial lines, and a lot of it along class lines,” Ramos said. “The notion of restorative justice is about saying, ‘Let’s take a more in-depth, holistic approach to this.’” In addition to addressing systems of mass incarceration, Ramos says the Justice in Justice exhibit and programming will open up conversations about how to hold our justice system more accountable. “We’ve just seen this state of killing, outright killing of people who are stopped for normal, routine traffic stops. That should not be a death sentence,” he said. “We have to revisit fundamentally what is going on in our culture, and in our systems of policing that encourage that. ... Those are the kinds of questions we’ll be dealing with.” ∆ Arts Writer Malea Martin is learning about America’s criminal justice system. Send arts story tips to mmartin@newtimesslo.com.

etween the stacks of books at Atascadero Library, the exhibit of People and Places: A Photographic Journey Through Time lines the walls. “The topic is a very difficult subject,” Cheryl Strahl, an Atascadero resident and retired software engineer, told New Times. She is one of the eight local photographers featured in the exhibit. Strahl said that the open-ended and interpretive nature of the exhibit made it challenging to choose which pieces to present, but the theme ultimately allowed for “a good representation of different ideas.” For Strahl, the topic moved her to submit a photo that she finds timeless. “It’s a picture of a goat shepherd,” she said of the stunning shot from the Balkans. “We were just driving along a road in this small village in the Albanian Alps, and we saw this man herding. We pulled over and we asked if we could photograph him. I snapped this image of him just before he started posing for us. I put it in the show because that picture could have been taken 200 years ago.” For Steve Udell, a North County local and featured photographer, the theme inspired him to showcase a photo of a special person in a special place. He settled on submitting a black-and-white film photograph that he shot of his daughter at Glacier Point in 1984. “That print that you see out there is the first print since 1984,” Udell said of his piece. “The negative was so poorly underdeveloped, that it wasn’t until 25 years later, with modern technology, that I rescued this negative.” He said that the story behind his photograph fits with the theme. “I thought it would be fun to have the past, but with present technology presenting it,” he explained. Udell comes from an era of film photographers who strived to develop their photos without blemishes—a feat that is not so easy with this unpredictable medium. “In the darkroom, the goal was to not have scratches, pinholes, spots. Those were all flaws,” he said. With a recent resurgence in film photography, it’s become increasingly popular to make photos appear “vintage” by intentionally damaging film. “Now I see people putting the flaws in, like they’re cool,” Udell said of this contemporary phenomenon. “To me they were never cool; they were a deal breaker.”

People watching

The People and Places exhibit will be on display through Nov. 30 at the Atascadero Library, 6555 Capistrano Ave. For more information, visit slolibrary.org.

But for Larry Hammons, another contributor to People and Places, adding flaws to digital photos is his signature process. “I’ve made them look like old photographs, something you might find at the bottom of a drawer at your grandma’s house, taken with an old Kodak and then wrinkled and crinkled,” Hammons said of his work. “You get the idea that this picture could have been taken 100 years ago.” One of Hammons’ photographs was captured digitally at Colony Days, a historic re-enactment parade held in Atascadero. Then Hammons applied his special process to the photo to achieve its archaic look. “I warble them. I add textures to them. I don’t try to change the picture so much as enhance the picture,” he said. Hammons said he hopes his photos will remind the viewer of a simpler time. “The theme is a photographic journey through time. With what I have provided, I hope it reminds some of the older people of how things might have been when they were children. ... People didn’t lock their doors like they do now,” he said. Laura Dienzo, a fourth photographer in the exhibit, also uses distinctive postcapture methods. One of her photos features a crumbling barn against a lush green backdrop. “I like to set myself apart,” Dienzo said. “So my print is on metal, and it’s mounted on a piece of barn wood.” The barn, which once stood behind Costco, has since been demolished, fitting for the journey through time that the exhibit is striving for. Each photographer brought widely varied photographic processes, as well as distinct approaches, to the exhibit’s theme. Yet the works displayed at the Atascadero Library speak to one another in a cohesive way, with each photo evincing those moments in time that only a camera and a good eye can capture. As Udell said: “It’s a fascinating thing to be able to preserve a given moment of a given second in life.” ∆ Arts Writer Malea Martin is journeying through time.

riter-director Lorene Scafaria (Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, The Meddler) helms this crime dramedy based on New York Magazine reporter Jessica Pressler’s articles about a group of strip club performers led by Ramona (Jennifer Lopez), who through craftiness exploit their Wall Street clients and extract their riches.

If I could even muster a single complaint, it would be that those two don’t get enough screen time. Other than that small nitpick, I was consistently engrossed by Hustlers all the way up to its conclusion—which echoes Goodfellas Caleb Initially working at a strip again with an inevitable fall from grace club just to make ends meet, Dorothy for its characters, once drugs and theft (Constance Wu, Crazy Rich Asians)—or enter the picture. Destiny, as her clients call her—starts Karen Before I dive into the film, I just to embrace the profession as a long-term career after meeting Ramona (Lopez), the want to add that Hustlers is based on the New York magazine article, “The Hustlers club’s top money earner. After a friendly encounter, Ramona quickly takes Destiny at Scores” by Jessica Pressler. Pressler under her wing, instructing her on the ins reported on the true story of two women who essentially stole from mostly rich and outs of attracting wealthy, eager-toand grimy men and gave to themselves spend-a-shit-ton customers. The opening because in their minds not only did those to this section of the film reminded me Wall Street jerks take from others, a of the clique listing scene in Mean Girls, couple thousand dollars meant nothing to as Ramona labels the different types of them. Hustlers is so appealing because it’s men Destiny should aim for—insecure based on a true story of various women guys who can be strung along for months, from difficult backgrounds who started regulars who visit the club frequently, and the head honchos (CEOs and bankers out with trying to make an honest living by stripping. Destiny was one of those ready to spend thousands during the women—she helps out her grandmother course of one night). With Ramona’s with the bills—but after partnering with help, Destiny has a Goodfellas-esque Ramona, the two were unstoppable dancing their way to financial happiness. At the height of their boom or what is referred to as the “last great night,” R&B singer Usher walks in the strip club making dollar bills rain on the dancers; it’s glamorous and fun.

downfall happens, and it keeps the wealthy scumbags from finding their way into the strip club, ready to blow a couple thousand. It’s also a time when Destiny gets pregnant with her on-again, offagain boyfriend’s child. The women all try to get part-time gigs outside of the club to make ends meet but nothing really works out. When Destiny resorts to returning to the club, things have changed but Ramona remains in the business without having to dance. She’s hatched a plan: She’s assembled a group of women that goes out “fishing” for a man who meets their wealth standards, buys him drinks, drugs his drink, and then takes him back to the club where they max out his credit card. The man blacks out, and the women split the money. It’s wrong to champion these women for drugging and stealing from these men, but it’s hard not to think of them as badasses. Caleb The Usher scene was hilarious, and a perfect bookmark separating the two drastically different states of the club—before and after 2008. Seeing Usher play himself added even more levity to the sequence, which ends with all of the club’s strippers on stage at the same time flaunting themselves in front of the pop icon. Hustlers is definitely a film to take seriously, but it’s also simultaneously one of the funniest films of the year. The humor comes from genuine interactions and character quirks rather than forced one-liners. One stripper, Annabelle

I don’t recall ever finding throw-up particularly funny, but Hustlers earned the church a convert—consider me a born-again barf fan. But in all seriousness, the real stars of the film are Wu and Lopez, who deliver equally top-notch performances as two friends during a dangerously deteriorating relationship. Karen The movie was so entertaining on so many levels, especially seeing Cardi B. Because she’s a former stripper, it felt like she was playing the role of her former life. Not to mention rising hip-hop singer Lizzo playing her flute in the dressing room. The cast was just perfect and really held their own with each role. I felt like I was always rooting for Ramona to assemble her team of mystical women to fight for what they felt they deserved. While Lopez is an amazing singer and entertainer, I’ve never been a fan of her acting career—but this film has definitely changed that for me. I also read Jessica Pressler’s article, and I feel like Scafaria kept the film pretty close to its original documentation. Hustlers is if anything a fun cautionary tale that may have some men thinking twice about their next visit to the club. ∆ Split Screen was written by Staff Writer Karen Garcia and Calendar Editor Caleb Wiseblood this week.

Andy Muscietti (Mama, It) directs this two-part film based on Stephen King’s 1986 horror novel about an evil subterraneandwelling clown named Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) who preys on the children of Derry, Maine, by exploiting their fears and phobias. In the first part (2017), we’re introduced to The Losers Club, a group of seven adolescent misfits who band together for protection from the town’s bullies, but more importantly from Pennywise, who abducts and murders children. The kids apparently defeat Pennywise in the first part, but in Chapter 2, 27 years after the first episode, Pennywise returns, and Mike Hanlon (Isaiah Mustafa) begins to call the other members of The Losers Club to remind them of their blood pact to return to Derry and band together to defeat Pennywise if he ever returns. Soon, Bill Denbrough (James McAvoy), Beverly Marsh (Jessica Chastain), Richie Tozier (Bill Hader), Ben Hanscom (Jay Ryan), Eddie Kaspbrak (James Ransone), and Stanley Uris (Andy Bean) are drawn back to the Pennywise mystery, and through flashback we revisit their younger selves (Chosen Jacobs as Mike; Jaeden Martell as Bill; Sophia Lillis as Beverly; Finn Wolfhard as Richie; Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben; Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie; and Wyatt Oleff as Stanley). Oh man, this film is fun! It’s the sort of nostalgic, over-the-top horror of Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983), with crazy special effects, jump scares, and laughs.

Well that’s how it feels watching and then trying to write about House, a Japanese horror-comedy released in 1977 that I think is both an amazing masterpiece and also almost unwatchable. The movie revolves around a group of young girls who are excitedly making plans for the upcoming summer vacation away from school. Normal, right? One, who is known as “Gorgeous” (Kimiko Ikegami) to her friends because of her beauty and style—a very reasonable nickname—plans a trip to see her long-lost aunt in an attempt to avoid her father and his overbearing new girlfriend. Gorgeous’ mom died when she was younger, and Gorgeous wants to find out more about her mother’s sister, who lives in an empty mansion in a mostly unpopulated village. Uh oh. Gorgeous invites six of her closest friends to join her on this family reunion, which is not an event my friends would be excited to go to, but hers are pumped. The friends also have nicknames inspired by their hobbies and basic characteristics: Mac loves to eat (lol same), Melody loves music, Sweet is really nice, Fantasy is always daydreaming, Prof is smart, and Kung Fu is great at, you guessed it, Kung Fu. At this point we’re getting into a weird Japanese horror version of the seven dwarves, which is generally pretty unsettling on its own. Then throw in a clearly malicious aunt living in a very obviously haunted house with a noticeably evil cat, and we’ve got ourselves a classic witch plot. One after another, the girls go missing.

BLAST FROM THE own, a grandfather clock overflowing with blood—and some become possessed by items in the house. As things spiral into chaos and special effects become more prominent, the surreal aspects of House totally engulf everything else. These effects—monsters creeping through windows and crevasses, rooms flooding with blood, a magical cat in different forms—are cartoonish, giving the film a feverdream vibe similar to that of Fantasia (1940) or Alice in Wonderland (1951), both movies that thoroughly freaked me out as a kid. According to Wikipedia, the most reliable source of information on the internet, director Nobuhiko Ôbayashi made the film purposely unrealistic; it was not at all due to a low budget or his own total lack of directing experience. Whatever the reason, I’m glad House is the way it is. Some moments, like when one friend gets beaten to death by flying pillows or every time Kung Fu karate chops ghosts, are funny. Others, including a death by drowning in blood and a creepy hairy bath, are quite disturbing, even several decades later. So whether you like dreams, nightmares, comedies, horrors, or just plain total originality, House is worth a watch. Δ —Kasey Bubnash

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. He’s roommate is Carl (an 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,

The sweet life These locally handcrafted candies bring nostalgia to the senses

PHOTOS COURTESY OF ALICIA HIMELSON

ehlenbacher’s Taffy—in its long, striped, and colorful shapes and original old-timey label—tastes like my childhood. Owner Alicia Himelson takes high quality ingredients that are preservativefree, such as pure cane sugar and real butter, and hand stretches the taffy. Himelson said she was drawn to original owner Dorothy Mehlenbacher’s handmade method of making taffy. “She would just make a little bit and put it on wax paper and serve it at craft fairs,” Himelson said. This homemade approach appealed to Himelson, who is a down-to-earth nature lover and hiker. Between raising her two sons and substitute teaching in SLO county, she decided to buy a taffymaking business. Chatting with her on an early September day at Spearhead Coffee in Paso Robles, I was struck by the way her smile and kindness pulled me in. Himelson grew up near Oakland and found her niche as the “Taffy Lady” while working as a California distribution rep for Mehlenbacher, who was based out of upstate New York. “It looked great and tasted awesome,” she said, remembering how much she believed in the taffy she was selling. Mehlenbacher had been hand-crafting and selling the taffy since the late 1980s and was ready to retire. She offered Himelson ownership of the business, and Himelson thought it could be fun. “She came out here for 10 days and taught me everything I know, and that’s pretty much it,” Himelson said. Since then, she’s stayed true to Mehlenbacher’s original label and classic taffy recipe. She makes 21 original flavors: banana, strawberry, vanilla, watermelon, raspberry, grape, cherry, cotton candy, huckleberry, caramel apple, licorice, key lime, iced coffee, strawberry lemonade, orange cream, root beer float, berry blast, peanut butter cup, hot cinnamon, peppermint, and chocolate mint. The most popular this year is the root beer, she said, and last year, it was the strawberry lemonade. Her top flavor experts (all aged 10 and under) enthusiastically give the best of show award to watermelon. In spring and summer, she might make pineapple, strawberry cheesecake, or limeade, and in the fall and winter, we will be able to find maple, sugar plum, wintergreen, cranberry, and eggnog. Himelson sometimes gets creative with some exotic specialty flavors, too. Her molasses peppermint and lavender vanilla bean earned my lifelong respect

and belong in every café. “All the time, it’s changing,” she said, noting that she keeps the basic list the same because people love to always have access to their favorite flavors. “But I try to freshen things up, too.” We’re used to seeing salt water taffy in those cute little wax wrappers, which Himelson informed me are called “kisses.” (Of course they are.) But Himelson’s taffy is longer and bar-like, more like a French kiss. Mehlenbacher’s taffy doesn’t contain salt because Himelson keeps the Mehlenbacher tradition of letting the flavors stand on their own. There are some interesting tales about how salt water became a part of taffy, such as one story about how when candy maker Enoch James refined the recipe by mechanizing the “pulling” process in the 1800s, he added salt because it made the taffy less sticky and easier to unwrap. Himelson said she believes the story about an East Coast storm that caused ocean water to wash over the candy. Instead of tossing the taffy, those frugal candy makers rebranded their soggy

sugar bites as salt water taffy. The local taffy maker said her day-today routine involves making taffy out of her commercial kitchen in Paso, and of course, running the biz from ordering to distribution. Sometimes people mistakenly call her Ms. Mehlenbacher, and she said that’s fine. She answers to it anyway. Making taffy is very physical. You have to pull it over and over to get the air bubbles out. I’m pretty sure you can count it as a workout—and Himelson said she does. After all of that physical labor, she hand wraps it, labels it, and puts it in the box for distribution. Just like that— handmade candy! I’m not alone when I say there are many of us who find old-fashioned candy like Mehlenbacher’s to be more than just a special treat. I wish my kids knew how fun it was to blow all their birthday card money at a candy shop, but alas, we have some serious boundaries on sugar. But when I get them a special treat I don’t want to cheap out and get them M&Ms or Skittles. Too easy. Too boring.

TAFFY LADY Alicia Himelson took over Mehlenbacher’s Taffy business in 2007. She has been running the nationally known candy business out of a Paso Robles commercial kitchen with a couple of parttime employees for so long now that everyone knows her as the “Taffy Lady.”

I first came upon Mehlenbacher’s Taffy at the General Store in Paso. It was instant nostalgia. I could almost feel the breeze coming from the beach boardwalk and see the taffy machine pulling the pink and white swirls through the candy store window. I’ve been buying her taffy for my children’s Christmas stockings FLAVOR continued page 46

D INE ’N’ DISH Autunno Pizza at Palo Mesa Wood Fired We used to think Palo Mesa Pizza in the Village of Arroyo Grande was too small to hold our appetites, as it appears to be the size of a drive-through coffee spot. But upon entering, we were shocked at the nice allocation of space. It’s like a big living room, and the seating is super comfy too. The vibe of the place is laidback and casual: Families and couples were enjoying a chill night. We ordered two pizzas to share (and finished all but one slice), and the one that stood out was the Autonno. The award-winning specialty pizza had all my favorite toppings: fresh, sweet heirloom tomatoes; generous amounts of garlic; a flavorful cream sauce called “fior de latte”; and basil, Parmesan, arugula, balsamic vinegar, and lemon olive oil—we also went for the $2 addition of salty chunks of pancetta, bringing the pizza total to $18. I love it when a pizza is cooked properly, and this one was authentically Italianstyle, with perfect little charred bits and crunch with the soft crust. The flavors were balanced and layered. Palo Mesa Pizza is open daily, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with locations at 150 W. Branch St., 2790-C Halcyon Road, and 906 Rancho Parkway in Arroyo Grande, and 3536 S. Higuera St. No. 206.

LegaL NOtices Parcel No.: 038-522-034 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. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-848418-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

Notice of Intent to Adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION For the Fiero Lane and Clarion Court Annexation (City File PL-ANNX-1166-2015 / EID-0626-2019) The City of San Luis Obispo has completed an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the proposed Fiero Lane and Clarion Court annexation. The IS/MND is tiered from the Final Program Environmental Impact Report for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and Related Facilities Master Plans (SCH#2000051062).The IS/MND found the following environmental factors to be less than significant with mitigation incorporated: Air Quality, Cultural Resources, Tribal Cultural Resources, and Utilities and Service Systems. The approximately 39-acre project area is located within the Airport Area Specific Plan, on the west side of Broad Street, approximately one-quarter mile south of Tank Farm Road. The site consists of 30 existing parcels located along Fiero Lane, Clarion Court, and a portion of Santa Fe. The proposed annexation area is not included on any of the lists enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. The applicant is proposing annexation that will result in the continuance of existing uses and future development patterns that reflect manufacturing, business park, offices and construction services. Proposed zoning would be consistent with pre-zoning identified upon adoption of the Airport Area Specific Plan, and would include: Business Park (BP), Service Commercial (CS), and Manufacturing (M). The proposed annexation area is currently receiving City water service, and Fiero Lane Water Company provides wastewater service to this area via a small private treatment plant located on Fiero Lane. Upon annexation, water, recycled water, and wastewater services would be converted to connect to City utility systems, and the existing wastewater treatment plan would be decommissioned and potentially relocated to 1275 Prospect Lane. Infrastructure improvements would include, but not be limited to: installation of new water meters, installation of recycled water main on Broad Street, reconfiguration of sewer laterals on Fiero Lane, and pavement rehabilitation and sidewalk repairs. Reference copies of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration are available at the City’s Community Development Department, at 919 Palm Street, or by calling Shawna Scott at 805-781-7176.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Say these words in front of a mirror: “It’s bad luck to be superstitious.” Freewillastrology.com ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): We’re in the equinoctial season. During this pregnant pause, the sun seems to hover directly over the equator; the lengths of night and day are equal. For all of us, but especially for you, it’s a favorable phase to conjure and cultivate more sweet symmetry, calming balance, and healing harmony. In that spirit, I encourage you to temporarily suspend any rough, tough approaches you might have in regard to those themes. Resist the temptation to slam two opposites together simply to see what happens. Avoid engaging in the pseudo-fun of purging by day and bingeing by night. And don’t you dare get swept up in hating what you love or loving what you hate.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1936, the city of Cleveland, Ohio staged the Great Lakes Exposition, a 135-acre fair with thrill rides, art galleries, gardens, and sideshows. One of its fun features was The Golden Book of Cleveland, a 2.5-ton, 6,000-page text the size of a mattress. After the expo closed down, the “biggest book in the world” went missing. If it still exists today, no one knows where it is. I’m going to speculate that there’s a metaphorical version of The Golden Book of Cleveland in your life. You, too, have lost track of a major Something that would seem hard to misplace. Here’s the good news: If you intensify your search now, I bet you’ll find it before the end of 2019.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I tell you what freedom is to me: no fear.” So said singer and activist Nina Simone. But it’s doubtful there ever came a time when she reached the perfect embodiment of that idyllic state. How can any of us empty out our anxiety so completely as to be utterly emancipated? It’s not possible. That’s the bad news, Taurus. The good news is that in the coming weeks you will have the potential to be as unafraid as you have ever been. For best results, try to ensure that love is your primary motivation in everything you do and say and think.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some things don’t change much. The beautiful marine animal species known as the pearly nautilus, which lives in the South Pacific, is mostly the same as it was 150 million years ago. Then there’s Fuggerei, a walled enclave within the German city of Augsburg. The rent is cheap, about one U.S. dollar per year, and that fee hasn’t increased in almost 500 years. While I am in awe of these bastions of stability, and wish we had more such symbolic anchors, I advise you to head in a different direction. During the coming weeks, you’ll be wise to be a maestro of mutability, a connoisseur of transformation, an adept of novelty.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Granny Smith apples are widely available. But before 1868, the tart, crispy, juicy fruit never existed on planet Earth. Around that time, an Australian mother of eight named Maria Ann Smith threw the cores of French crab apples out her window while she was cooking. The seeds were fertilized by the pollen from a different, unknown variety of apple, and a new type was born: Granny Smith. I foresee the possibility of a metaphorically comparable event in your future: a lucky accident that enables you to weave together two interesting threads into a fascinating third thread.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1990, the New Zealand government appointed educator, magician, and comedian Ian Brackenbury Channell to be the official Wizard of New Zealand. His jobs include protecting the government, blessing new enterprises, casting out evil spirits, upsetting fanatics, and cheering people up. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to find your personal equivalents of an inspirational force like that. There’s really no need to scrimp. According to my reading of the cosmic energies, you have license to be extravagant in getting what you need to thrive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Do silly things,” advised playwright Anton Chekhov. “Foolishness is a great deal more vital and healthy than our straining and striving after a meaningful life.” I think that’s a perspective worth adopting now and then. Most of us go through phases when we take things too seriously and too personally and too literally. Bouts of fun absurdity can be healing agents for that affliction. But now is NOT one of those times for you, in my opinion. Just the reverse is true, in fact. I encourage you to cultivate majestic moods and seek out awe-inspiring experiences and induce sublime perspectives. Your serious and noble quest for a meaningful life can be especially rewarding in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Before comedian Jack Benny died in 1974, he arranged to have a florist deliver a single red rose to his wife every day for the rest of her life. She lived another nine years, and received more than 3,000 of these gifts. Even though you’ll be around on this earth for a long time, I think the coming weeks would be an excellent time to establish a comparable custom: a commitment to providing regular blessings to a person or persons for whom you care deeply. This bold decision would be in alignment with astrological omens, which suggest that you can generate substantial benefits for yourself by being creative with your generosity.

AQUARIUS

(July 23-Aug. 22): “Every masterpiece is just dirt and ash put together in some perfect way,” writes storyteller Chuck Palahniuk, who has completed several novelistic masterpieces. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you Leos have assembled much of the dirt and ash necessary to create your next masterpiece and are now ready to move on to the next phase. And what is that phase? Identifying the help and support you’ll need for the rest of the process.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Actress and author Ruby Dee formulated an unusual prayer. “God,” she wrote, “make me so uncomfortable that I will do the very thing I fear.” As you might imagine, she was a brave activist who risked her reputation and career working for the Civil Rights Movement and other idealistic causes. I think her exceptional request to a Higher Power makes good sense for you right now. You’re in a phase when you can generate practical blessings by doing the very things that intimidate you or make you nervous. And maybe the best way to motivate and mobilize yourself is by getting at least a bit flustered or unsettled.

VIRGO

PISCES

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1959, scandal erupted among Americans who loved to eat peanut butter. Studies revealed that manufacturers had added so much hydrogenated vegetable oil and glycerin to their product that only 75 percent of it could truly be called peanut butter. So began a long legal process to restore high standards. Finally, there was a new law specifying that no company could sell a product called “peanut butter” unless it contained at least 90 percent peanuts. I hope this fight for purity inspires you to conduct a metaphorically comparable campaign. It’s time to ensure that all the important resources and influences in your life are at peak intensity and efficiency. Say NO to dilution and adulteration.

(Feb. 19-March 20): Syndicated cartoon strip Calvin and Hobbes appeared for 10 years in 2,400 newspapers in 50 countries. It wielded a sizable cultural influence. For example, in 1992, six-year-old Calvin decided “The Big Bang” was a boring term for how the universe began, and instead proposed we call it the “Horrendous Space Kablooie.” A number of real scientists subsequently adopted Calvin’s innovation, and it has been invoked playfully but seriously in university courses and textbooks. In that spirit, I encourage you to give fun new names to anything and everything you feel like spicing up. You now have substantial power to reshape and revamp the components of your world. It’s Identify-Shifting Time. ∆
