HEALING TOGETHER From left to right: Jennifer Byon, Tanya Walker, and Becky Heart attended Josiah Johnstone’s hearing on Oct. 17, where they had hoped to see him sentenced to time behind bars for charges of stalking, criminal threats, and perjury. Instead, Johnstone was ordered to a mental health evaluation, and his sentencing was rescheduled for January 2020.

ustice can’t always be found in the court system, as the alleged victims of Josiah Johnstone can attest to. For months, more than two dozen women have waited to see what his punishment will be for the stalking and assault charges filed against him. Although not all were able to formally levy their own charges against him due to California’s statutes of limitations, they found the support they needed through a Facebook group that connected the women who are determined to tell their stories—if not to the public, then at least to one another. For this week’s cover story, Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash spoke with some of the victims who have accused Johnstone of stalking, harassment, and worse [10].

Grover reverses bike plan SCREENSHOT FROM GROVER BEACH STAFF REPORT

T

here’s been a lot of squabbling among Grover Beach residents over the recent installation of buffered bike lanes on several blocks of Newport Avenue. Heeding public outrage, the city now plans to rip out the raised curbs that currently separate lanes for cyclists and vehicles, a project detour that is expected to cost roughly $20,000.

More than 30 San Luis Obispo County community members shared their thoughts on the matter at a Grover Beach City Council meeting on Oct. 21.

Although there were a number of cyclists and residents from other parts of the county who spoke in favor of the current bike lane design on Newport, nearly all of the Grover Beach residents in attendance were vehemently opposed.

Several attendees took issue with the street’s new parking structure, which puts the bike lane directly next to the sidewalk, followed by the raised curb, followed by spots for street parking, then lanes for vehicle traffic. The buffers are intended to make cyclists and pedestrians feel sufficiently barred from vehicle traffic, but Newport resident Louise Porton said it’s only made backing out of her driveway a struggle.

“Daily, every time we back out of our driveway, we risk getting in an accident as we try to see beyond cars parked 12 feet out in the road and turn sharply into the narrow roadway,” Porton said at the meeting. “It’s a terrible safety hazard.”

Other attendees complained that the black berms on the street of the same color are a tripping hazard, especially for seniors, those with disabilities, and at night. An avid biker

Atascadero Unified accused of not protecting students

Six Jane Does filed a complaint in federal court claiming that the Atascadero Unified School District did not protect its students against a former teacher alleged to have taken up-skirt images of his female students.

Chris Berdoll, who was a sixth-grade teacher at the Atascadero Fine Arts Academy, was arrested on Sept. 10 and posted $500,000 bail shortly after. A criminal arraignment is scheduled on Oct. 29 for 44 felony charges related to child pornography.

The civil complaint filed on Oct. 22 alleges that the district didn’t follow proper protocol to ensure the safety of their students. The alleged incidents involving Berdoll started during the 2016-17 school year, when four of the Jane Does were seventh graders.

The complaint states that Berdoll often asked the girls to help organize his classroom and eat lunch with him. When the girls managed to avoid his alleged invitations, the complaint claims he would find them on the playground and lurk around them while carrying his iPad. According to the complaint, Berdoll’s personal iPad and other electronic devices contained photos of the victims’ genital regions. He converted those images into explicit child pornography, sometimes editing his own images engaged in sex acts with images of children, the complaint claims.

GOODBYE CURBS Grover Beach is midway through construction on Newport Avenue’s bike lanes, but residents don’t like the raised buffers.

said the new lanes aren’t particularly safe, especially because they end suddenly at each intersection and block motorist’s views of bikers.

Resident Diane Shannon said at the meeting that she had a petition with more than 100 signatures opposing the project’s current state.

“This is about safety,” Shannon said at the meeting. “We care about our seniors, the skateboarders, the dog walkers, the mail carriers, the handicapped, the stroller family, the cyclists, and all the residents that live and travel on Newport Avenue. You’re in denial if you don’t realize there’s an issue with this design.”

“You need to remember: You work for us,” she added.

Grover Beach is in its fifth year of a road rehabilitation project, which is funded by a bond measure approved by voters in 2014 and includes the repair of scores of Grover Beach city blocks, according to a city staff report. In several previous meetings, residents expressed interest in redesigning Newport Avenue to reduce traffic speeds, increase bike and

pedestrian safety, and improve parking.

The current Newport design, which is about 40 percent of the way completed, was approved unanimously by Grover Beach City Council at a meeting on Jan. 22. But shortly after construction started, residents became concerned with various aspects of the project.

At the Oct. 21 meeting, City Council voted to remove the recently installed curbs and instead install bike lanes that are buffered with painted lines, green striping where appropriate, and parking adjacent to the curb.

Although Councilmember Mariam Shah, who also lives on Newport, voted in favor of the changes, she was hesitant.

“I just am worried about us redesigning something right now that’s already been professionally designed, is halfway—not even halfway, partially halfway—done, and hasn’t really been given a fair chance,” she said at the meeting. “I just am not sure this is the right timing for that.” ∆ —Kasey Bubnash

During the 2017-18 school year, the complaint states, Berdoll continued to insist that the Jane Does—four eighth graders and two fifth graders—spend lunch time in his classroom.

The following school year, Jane Doe 1 was assigned to Berdoll’s sixth grade class where, the complaint alleges, he moved her seat from the back of the classroom to a row directly across from his desk.

On Aug. 28, 2018, the complaint alleges, one of the girls witnessed Berdoll angling his phone under Jane Doe 1’s desk and reported his behavior to her mother, who in turn called Jane Doe 1’s mother. On Aug. 30, 2018, Berdoll’s behavior was reported to the district, and the Atascadero Police Department executed a search warrant of his electronic devices.

According to the complaint, the department discovered photos that depicted the private areas and or surrounding body parts of at least 16 female minors, including all six Jane Does.

The complaint accuses the school district of failing to ensure that all its employees were properly trained and supervised to perform their jobs.

The complaint alleges that the school had neither a vice principal nor a full-time principal at the time, that Berdoll openly carried his iPad in the schoolyard and his classroom during school hours, and the district failed to enforce its policy banning employees from the personal use of cellphones while on duty.

The district emailed New Times a statement

denying the allegations made against the district in the complaint.

Supervisors react to ag board letter

San Luis Obispo County supervisors offered their reactions on Oct. 22 to a recent California State Board of Food and Agriculture letter that levied criticism against the county’s approach to groundwater management in Paso Robles.

The Sept. 30 ag board letter shared concerns about “limited” ag industry involvement in developing sustainability plans for the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin, as part of complying with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).

At the SLO County Board of Supervisors’ Oct. 22 meeting, North County Supervisors Debbie Arnold (5th District) and John Peschong (1st District) defended the county’s efforts—including a decision last year to deny the Estrella-El Pomar-Creston Water District a seat on the committee that’s crafting the Paso sustainability plan.

“You’re forgetting the history behind our over-pumped basin,” Arnold said.

“We heard very clearly in [a 2016 basinwide water district election] that the vast majority of our landowners and agriculturalists in the basin chose to have the county water district working on this groundwater sustainability plan.”

But Herb Rowland, a director at the Estrella-El Pomar-Creston Water District, argued during public comment that denying the district a formal role violated “the spirit that SGMA was crafted” with.

“This document [the sustainability plan] was completed without significant input from the agricultural stakeholders in our community,” Rowland said. “To state the obvious, this letter is evidence that it was a bad policy decision.”

Patricia Wilmore, speaking on behalf of the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance, told the board that the state’s letter “highlights the frustration that we have felt in getting involved in this process.”

“We have been asking for more focused involvement from the beginning,” she said.

Supervisor Peschong contended that Paso’s SGMA process has allowed for adequate industry input and said he’s met with “close to 100 farmers on their land to discuss their water issues.”

“I’m actually very proud of the outreach and the ability for everyone to comment and weigh in,” Arnold added. “It’s been a fair process.”

Supervisors Adam Hill (3rd District) and Bruce Gibson (2nd District) said the letter concerned them and they questioned Arnold

and Peschong’s leadership on the issue.

“When you get a letter that talks about the fact that people aren’t even allowed to truly participate and are being shut out, that is a concern,” Hill said. “To favor some to the exclusion of others is not following the intent of [SGMA].”

SLO County administrators said they plan to prepare a response letter to the ag board, which supervisors will vote on at their next meeting.

Wine consumers will feel the effects of tariffs

The Trump administration’s national tariffs on European goods are affecting the only wine importer on the Central Coast, and consumers will feel the effects through price increases.

Ken Jacques, owner of Evaki Imports, said a 25 percent tariff went into effect on Oct. 17 and was immediately imposed on wine shipments en route to his company.

“We do 40 percent of our business in October, November, and December. If you’re an importer, the largest amount of wine you’re going to have on the water at any given time is that time, so a large number of containers were exposed,” Jacques said.

He said the administration put tariffs on wines that are 14 percent and lower in alcohol content. Wines that are 14.1 percent or higher, Champagne, and sparkling water are not affected.

From an importer standpoint, he said the tariff hike is passed directly on to the retailer, which then passes it on to the consumer.

He said depending on the price point of the wine, customers can expect to see bottle prices increase between $1 and $3.

The tariffs are the result of a 15-year dispute between the United States and European countries, where the U.S. accused them of illegally subsidizing Airbus, a European aerospace corporation, which is also Boeing’s rival.

The current administration pressed its case to the World Trade Organization, which allowed the tariffs as part of a penalty award. According to the penalty, the U.S. was allowed to impose 10 percent tariffs on aircraft and 25 percent on other industrial and agricultural products from the European Union—including wine, cheese, and olive oil.

Jacques said importers that invest heavily in French and Spanish wines will be affected.

“It all depends on how long it lasts. If it lasts a year, my guess is you’re probably looking at somewhere between 10 or 15 percent reduction in sales over the next 12

months, but it’s just too hard to gauge this early in the game,” Jacques said. “It’s going to hurt the importers, and it’s going to hurt the consumers; everyone’s going to pay.”

AG vaping ban could include consequences for minors

Soon it could be illegal to sell vaping products and electronic cigarettes in Arroyo Grande, and kids could be cited for having them.

The Arroyo Grande City Council voted at its meeting on Oct. 22 to develop an ordinance that would ban the sale of all vaping products and electronic cigarettes not approved by the FDA, through both brick-and-mortar stores and online sales.

The potential ban, which was initially conceptualized by Mayor Caren Ray Russom, is an effort to curb the surging popularity of vaping and e-cigarette use among teens, an issue that Russom said is especially pressing now that more than a dozen deaths and 1,000 lung injuries nationwide have been linked to vaping and e-cigarettes.

“Nobody knows what’s in this stuff,” Russom told New Times.

Arroyo Grande’s proposed ordinance will be modeled on one in San Francisco, which in June became the first city in the U.S. to pass a ban on the sale of e-cigarettes and vaping products that haven’t received FDA approval.

But Arroyo Grande is considering going a step further by making it illegal for residents under 21 to possess all tobacco products, punishable by a fine of

$75 or 30 hours of community service, a controversial addition that many major health and anti-tobacco groups oppose.

According to information released in April by ChangeLab Solutions, a national organization that works to advance equitable laws for underserved communities, youth tobacco possession and use penalties like the one Arroyo Grande is considering have proven ineffective and inequitable.

“Instead of holding Big Tobacco accountable for their pernicious targeting and predatory marketing, [possession, use, and purchase] laws punish youth who may be addicted to tobacco,” the ChangeLab Solutions fact sheet reads.

Russom said she understands that argument on a broader scale and agrees that kids, who are really the victims of big tobacco marketing schemes, shouldn’t be criminalized.

“But what we hear on the ground, which is consistent with what Atascadero heard, is that in practice it’s made it almost impossible for schools to enforce bans on campus,” she told New Times.

Atascadero recently considered a ban on the sale of vaping products, and Morro Bay is in the process of developing one now.

Enforcement at school is especially challenging, she said, because of the way schools are rated by the state, a ranking that includes test scores and rates of suspensions. The higher the rates of suspensions, Russom said, the lower the score. So schools have a disincentive to take any serious disciplinary action against students caught with vapes.

But if school resource officers could threaten citations, Russom said she thinks kids would reconsider their actions.

“Even just having the penalty makes people think twice,” she said.

Most other council members seemed to wholeheartedly agree, except Jimmy Paulding, who voted against drafting a ban on vaping products.

Paulding didn’t seem concerned with the youth possession portion of the ordinance, but did take issue with the ban on online sales, which he said could be difficult to enforce and make it impossible for adults of legal age to get vaping products.

“I have to admit that this is a difficult issue for me,” Paulding said at the meeting.

The ordinance will likely be drafted and read for the first time at Arroyo Grande’s next City Council meeting in November. ∆ — Kasey Bubnash

Floating into relaxation

T

he average person is constantly moving from one thing to the next, checking phones and devices, and surrounding him- or herself with people.

Sure, there are many hikes around San Luis Obispo County to get away from it all, but most people don’t really give themselves time to check out and recharge.

A sibling duo from Sacramento recently established a facility in the city of SLO for people to do just that.

Matt and Kelsey Elston are wrapping up their fourth month of being the proud business owners and operators of Central Coast Floats, a float spa.

The business started as just an idea when Matt moved to the Central Coast six years ago. Prior to his move, he lived in Seattle where he was first introduced to floating.

At first, he viewed floating as just a cool experience, but then he started to see how it changed his life.

“The more I kept doing it, I realized it was an incredible tool to solve problems or really get into a deep meditative state,” Matt said.

When he moved to San Luis Obispo, he realized there wasn’t any kind of floating facility in the area.

He called his sister, Kelsey, who was working at a floating center in their hometown at the time, to see if she was interested in working with him to open a facility.

READY TO RECORD?

She told New Times she was ready to quit her job and bring this project to fruition with her bother.

Kelsey also saw a change in her life physically, emotionally, and spiritually when she began floating.

“There’s an opportunity to go deep inside yourself and work through things with no one’s help,” she said. “It goes from life in the tank to life in the tank affecting life outside of the tank, which is so cool.”

Matt said he and his sister believed they wanted to share this beneficial tool with others around them.

“The intention behind this place is like a center for growth and healing on the Central Coast. We’re trying to be here for everyone,” he said.

The spa offers four rooms with floatation tanks inside; one of the rooms houses an extra-large tank, big enough for two people. The tanks are also known as sensory deprivation chambers.

In these tanks is about 1,200 pounds of Epsom salt that’s dissolved in water.

Matt said it’s so buoyant that a person automatically floats.

“When you’re in the tank and in the water, with the concentration of the salt, only your face, a little bit of your chest, and your kneecaps will pop out of the water. Everything else is just kind of right on the surface of the water,” he said.

This service is often used as a method for relaxation or to boost creativity. As the name implies, sensory deprivation means a person can rid themselves of some or all external stimuli and float.

Each tank is fully customizable, so there are LED lights and the option to plug in your cellphone to queue a music playlist or podcast.

After a floating session, which lasts 60 minutes, the siblings have a relaxation room where clients can sit down and read, journal, color, or enjoy a cup of tea. They have an infrared sauna for clients as well.

The Elston siblings have attended several float conferences in the last few years and have learned various health benefits to floating.

The concentration of the salt flushes out toxins and heavy metals in cells, easing muscle pain, and it also improves heart and circulatory health, reduces blood clots, reduces inflammation, and lowers blood pressure.

“Life just throws so much at you, so your goals in the tank are probably not the same as someone else’s.

You’re going to get whatever you need out of it,” Matt said.

Fast fact

As the holiday season approaches, The Salvation Army is looking for volunteer bell-ringers for various sites around San Luis Obispo County from Nov. 25 through Dec. 24. You know, the joyous individuals who wear red aprons and ring a bell near a kettle in front of your local supermarket.

t’s not every day you come face to face with someone accused of committing the kinds of crimes that inspire horror movies, but a few years ago, Shaana Keller let one such person crash on her couch.

Keller met Josiah Johnstone for the first time in 2013 at the Solano County Fair in Vallejo, where they were both working. Although they’d only just met, she remembers that he’d hurried to the informational booth she was working at to tell her about his dad’s death the day he found out. He’d said he was heading back to San Luis Obispo County to be with his family, Keller said.

She felt so sorry for him.

She didn’t hear much from him immediately after that, but they’d added each other on Facebook before he left, and they messaged occasionally.

Keller said she and Johnstone saw each other the following year, and then the year after that she reached out online to ask if he’d be working at the fair again. He told her his carnie work was behind him, she said, and that he was moving to San Francisco to become a DJ. He’d lined up housing and a job, he told her, but he needed a place to stay before his move-in date.

“I thought it was no big deal,” Keller told New Times in October of this year, about six years after she first met Johnstone. “It’s just a few nights.”

She offered her couch, and that’s where he stayed for

what turned into weeks. First the apartment fell through, then the job. Keller watched as he seemingly grappled with the basics of bringing his big-city dreams to fruition.

Again, she felt sorry for him, and since he wasn’t bothering her, she let him stay.

Just before the fair started, Keller’s boss asked her if Johnstone might want to make some money working the company booth. He accepted, but after she turned in his application, she received a call from the Solano County Fair Association saying Josiah Johnstone was never to be allowed on the fairgrounds again. Keller learned that he’d been kicked out the year prior for bad behavior—an apparently major scene that ended with Johnstone threatening a law enforcement officer.

When Keller asked him about it, Johnstone played it off as a big misunderstanding. But something didn’t add up, she said.

She did some digging the next day, and what she found more than confirmed her suspicions.

Keller discovered that Johnstone had been accused of harassment and stalking in a number of California counties, and that he’d been served with restraining orders filed by at least half a dozen different people. Keller said she ended up connecting with one of his ex-girlfriends online, who claimed that Johnstone had physically and emotionally abused her throughout their relationship.

Keller said the information was alarming.

“He’s got to get out of my house right now,” she remembered thinking at the time.

She quickly worked up a bluff to get him out and called Johnstone to break the news.

Just like that, he snapped.

Keller said he practically screamed at her on the phone and told her he wouldn’t leave. She packed up his things, gave him his bag, and locked him out. He bombarded her with angry messages on multiple platforms, so she blocked him everywhere she could think to, and “that was that.”

She didn’t hear much about him until years later when another woman created a

WANTED After Josiah Johnstone failed to appear for a sentencing hearing on July 11, a warrant was issued for his arrest and his information was shared in a SLO County Sheriff’s Office “Most Wanted Wednesday” post from July 31. Johnstone was later tracked down by a bounty hunter and apprehended.

Editor’s Note: New Times spoke with several of the women who accused Josiah Johnstone of harassing, stalking, and, in at least one case, assaulting them.

Some pressed charges, some didn’t. These are the stories they told New Times about what happened to them.

public Facebook post detailing her alleged frightening encounter with Johnstone. The post was shared dozens of times, Keller said, and scores of commenters came forward with their own similar experiences with Johnstone.

“It was just crazy,” Keller told New Times, “and it really made me sad to know how many people he’d hurt and used and manipulated.”

Keller figured there were other women out there who wanted to share their stories but didn’t feel safe doing so in such a public sphere, so she and two other women who claim to have been harassed by Johnstone—Becky Heart and Jennifer Byon—created a private Facebook group solely for the victims of Johnstone’s alleged crimes.

There, victims can share their stories freely without fear of judgement or retribution. They’re able to hash out specific events and details, talk honestly about their trauma, and find legal and emotional advice and support.

“It’s just a lot of women coming together, comparing notes, and healing,” Keller said.

Keller launched the group in September 2018, and today it has more than 30 members, about 75 percent of whom claim to have been directly stalked, threatened, abused, or harassed by Johnstone. The rest are friends and family of alleged victims, many who also say they’ve faced direct repercussions because of Johnstone’s presence in their loved ones’ lives.

It’s trauma that ties all these individuals together, and now that Johnstone has been arrested, they share a desire to see justice served. But Keller said it’s been beautiful to watch how his alleged victims have come together and grown since the group was created.

“On the one hand, it makes me really sad to see how many people he’s hurt,” Keller said, “but on the other hand, I’m really glad I connected with these women, because they are such a strong group of women.”

Some members had never shared their stories before the Facebook group existed, Keller said, either because they were so embarrassed that they’d been tricked or afraid Johnstone would come after them. But with so many of them banded together, Keller said they feel safer now. Safer, and unashamed.

Now with Johnstone in custody and facing felony charges of perjury, stalking, and criminal threats, this group of women closely

follows his case, notifying each other of any updates, encouraging each other to write victim impact statements to the judge, and attending his hearings arm in arm.

But even with so many of them rallying together, things haven’t been easy. Many of what were supposed to be Johnstone’s sentencing hearings have ended with dissatisfying results for those who hope to see him behind bars, including one hearing he skipped in July after posting bail and fleeing to Nevada.

The court process has been draining for those involved, and infuriating for those who’d like to join in on the case but can’t because of California’s statutes of limitations.

And even if all goes smoothly for the prosecution, Johnstone is expected to spend less than five years in prison at most, a chilling thought to individuals like Keller, who are actively and publicly working to make the unsavory side of his reputation known.

But Keller said it’s time for everyone to know about Johnstone’s extensive collection of accusations of abuse, violence, stalking, and harassment, and the only ones who can bring that information to light are his past victims.

“That’s what he’s done over the last 15 years, if not before that,” Keller said, “and it’s disgusting.”

pr By There were hardly any seats left in the an courtroom on the morning of Oct. 17, the third time in less than a month that some of at Johnstone’s alleged victims traveled to SLO an from near and far in hopes of seeing him he sentenced to prison time. re Jennifer Byon smiled politely at other sh attendees as she made her way through a near-full row of seats toward the back of the audience, and she took a deep breath as she settled into her cramped spot. The judge hadn’t appeared yet, and neither had Johnstone.

It wasn’t the first time Byon had been to one of his hearings. She waited around practically all day on Sept. 24, when a judge denied Johnstone an opportunity for bail.

She attended another on Oct. 3, where she said Johnstone gave an irritating statement, blaming his actions on the alleged PTSD from the death of both his brother and father.

Byon wasn’t at Johnstone’s July 11 hearing, but she heard all about it.

Johnstone was initially arrested in September 2017 and posted bail in November of that year. On May 28 of this year, Johnstone pleaded no contest to a few of the charges against him, including one count of stalking and one count of criminal threats, according to Deputy District Attorney Nikhil Ashok Dandekar.

After Johnstone failed to appear at his sentencing hearing on July 11, a judge issued a warrant for his arrest. Bounty hunter Richard Dunbar found Johnstone in Battle Mountain, Nevada, a tiny town nearly 650 miles away from SLO County, where local law enforcement arrested him and brought him back to SLO. Now Johnstone could either accept the plea bargain and the court’s indicated sentence, which is currently set at four years and eight months, or withdraw his no contest plea and go to trial.

Byon has seen Johnstone a lot since he was found, but the experience never gets any less visceral.

When he was finally ushered into the courtroom by a bailiff on Oct. 17, cuffs and chains around his wrists and ankles, Byon’s bubbly disposition disappeared. The color left her cheeks as she pushed herself further back into her chair. She took a shaky breath.

Her eyes welled up with tears, but none fell.

Only a few alleged victims attended this hearing, which again ended in disappointment for them.

Although Judge Hernaldo Baltodano noted

that he had received seven victim impact statements and was considering a sentence of four years and eight months, he ordered Johnstone to first participate in a 90-day mental health evaluation. Baltodano said in court that he felt a diagnosis would help him hand down an adequate sentence, and that the evaluation was a necessity in this case.

He rescheduled Johnstone’s sentencing to Jan. 28, 2020.

After the decision, Byon and several other women gathered around the deputy district attorney working Johnstone’s case as he explained the team’s next move. Byon agrees that Johnstone needs treatment for his mental health issues, but she was frustrated with the court’s decision nonetheless.

“I thought this was going to be a done deal today,” she told New Times after the hearing.

“I was really surprised.”

She’s trying to move on from Johnstone and all the pain she said he’s caused her. But with the case still unresolved, that’s almost impossible to do.

Byon met Johnstone about six years ago, when they went on a few dates before seeing each other seriously.

Johstone had informed Byon of the death of his father and his difficulties dealing with it, she said, and after about four months Byon broke up with Johnstone. Things just seemed “a little off,” she said. She’s not sure how to explain it.

A few weeks later, she found out she was pregnant. The baby had to be Johnstone’s, so Byon said they got back together, he moved in, and then they were engaged. Things were great at first. He attended every doctor’s appointment, and he was helpful, attentive, and supportive.

But then something changed. He’d tell Byon he needed to borrow her car to go to the Army recruiting office, but after searching his phone, she said she discovered he was really meeting

COVER from page 11

Johnstone messaged the pastor a photo of Johnstone’s car vandalized with a note that read, “God Didn’t Make Fags,” which Johnstone said was left on his car during service at the church. Johnstone told Kruse that because of his own affiliation with the LGBTQ community, he was deeply offended.

That initial conversation was followed by weeks of incessant and threatening messages and calls to the church, according to court documents, and a media frenzy allegedly ignited by Johnstone. Church leaders later deduced that Johnstone had written the note himself, according to cour documents.

Another restraining order against Johnstone was granted to Amanda DeBello in September 2017, after Johnstone allegedly threatened to have a friend kill her horse, according to court documents.

In 2018, Amelia Degenkolb also secured a restraining order against Johnstone after she responded to a Craigslist ad in which he claimed he’d been kicked out of his house and disowned by his Christian family for coming out as transgender. Degenkolb and her wife let Johnstone rent a room in their house, according to court documents, but were quickly put off by his aggressive way of butting in to their private lives.

Eventually they discovered Johnstone’s criminal history and kicked him out.

They slept in their cars and hotels just to avoid him until he finally left, according to court documents.

Becky Heart also filed for and was granted a restraining order against Johnstone in May of this year, after her romantic relationship with Johnstone allegedly ended with him following through on a threat to have her fired from her job.

Johnstone messaged Heart’s employer nude photographs she’d sent him during their relationship, according to allegations made in court documents, and pretended to be an angry and offended customer she’d sent them to unwarranted.

Despite these court-validated complaints, Johnstone has faced few legal repercussions for his behavior. Many of his alleged victims blame the failings of the judicial system—including the ineffectiveness of restraining orders and the suppressing nature of the statutes of limitations. Others blame the stigma that often still surrounds situations of domestic and intimate partner violence and say more women would have reported Johnstone’s alleged crimes had they not feared judgement.

Most, including Sarah Berkey, blame both.

Speaking out When Berkey started dating Johnstone in 2011, she had no idea that a month-and-a-halflong relationship could have consequences that would follow her for nearly a decade. But today she’s well aware of just how much damage one person can cause.

Berkey was in her early 20s when she and a roommate started chatting with Johnstone online. All three had plans to attend the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, a religious school in Redding, and they’d been encouraged by the school’s administrators to connect with other incoming students before the year’s start.

They formed a friendship online, but The post was shared more than 200 too, and ended with several of her family Johnstone didn’t end up attending Bethel, times and garnered nearly 160 comments, members confiding to her that they didn’t and she didn’t hear much from him again many of which detailed situations in which like him. until October 2011, when Berkey said he Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Berkey Johnstone allegedly lied, stalked, harassed, reached out for solace during a rough patch. said Johnstone broke things off on Nov. 27, and conned dozens.

California’s green Dear ‘sensitive energy scam receptors’ The government just wants control of energy production

T

he definition of socialism is the government ownership, aka takeover, of the means of production.

So take PG&E and the fact the environmentalists and the government have harassed them for the past 40 years. Diablo Canyon Power Plant opened in the 1980s.

Environmentalists have pushed to stop clearing dead wood out of our forests for the past 40 years. No more firebreaks, no more clearing dead wood, no more controlled burning of brush by local citizens.

Government regulations have been the reason good forest management practices have gone by the wayside.

Enter 2017 and the monumental rainfall we received that year— which caused a state, already overgrown for decades, to grow even denser, with no firebreaks from one end of the state to the other. The result, fires up and down the state resulted in a monumental loss of lives and thousands of homes. Never in my lifetime have I seen so many homes destroyed. Never have I seen more citizens die as a result of forest fires.

The government restrictions on PG&E brush clearing undoubtedly contributed to PG&E’s failure to clear power lines from overgrowth.

So who does state government blame for the devastating fires? Why, PG&E of course. Remember: Never let a good crisis go to waste!

PG&E files for bankruptcy, and presto, Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP) is here, a public agency, a middleman that does not produce power but purchases it from out-of-state power companies and sells it to us. Energy currently produced from carbon sources, which local politicians support while claiming our energy via MBCP will be cleaner! Hogwash!

We are told California law mandates

Remember, government is inefficient and does not need to make a profit; they just raise rates or increase your taxes.

HODIN

we go with MBCP if local government decides to opt in, then we are forced to “opt out” of MBCP if we prefer to stay with PG&E. Once PG&E is out of the picture and MBCP has control, do you think our rates might increase? Do you think MBCP ENERGY SCAM continued page 15

Anti-cannabis sentiments are rooted in bigotry

R

eading the most recent “reefer madness” propaganda in New Times (“In need of change,” Oct. 10), it became evident that our local NIMBY watch group (arguing against land use rights) needs an education on the history of cannabis as a medicine in America and as a modern weapon of bigotry. I’m happy to oblige.

Spanish colonists with trading ties to the African continent brought cannabis to New Spain for use as a holistic medicine, for its seeds, its oil,

later against African-American jazz musicians deemed a danger to society (aka white women).

The notoriously racist head of the Narcotics Bureau, Harry Anslinger, used yellow journalism and other tools of white supremacy to terrify a largely ignorant and gullible America into the acceptance of unjustifiable federal drug laws and their incorporation into the UN charter. This nativist response to fear-mongering literally cursed the world with America’s multi-generational failure on cannabis policy despite the La Guardia Report (1944) fully discrediting the faux science.

Following the hard-earned gains of the civil rights era, and despite the 1972 Schafer Commission Report (hidden

executives will receive increasing salaries financed through future rate increases?

Remember, government is inefficient and does not need to make a profit; they just raise rates or increase your taxes.

Why does the state have an interest in entering the electric power business? Just how much revenue will the state receive for their part in this takeover?

Do you understand now what socialism is? Government control of the means of production, in this case your electric power supply.

We are now beginning to experience the full benefit of a socialist economy with power outages lasting for days where the supply of electricity cannot meet the demand. No power, just like Cuba or Venezuela. Is that what we want here? If government is concerned about our growing population, why aren’t they building dams to increase water storage and hydroelectric power, and encouraging PG&E to keep the Diablo Canyon Power Plant open? Why aren’t subsidies provided to encourage increased production of electric power generation?

Government forced the closure of Diablo Canyon, blamed PG&E for the devastating fires that helped force PG&E into bankruptcy. Our government could care less if you have inexpensive reliable electric power; they want control over cost, production, and distribution of electrical power in the state. Do you think perhaps they knew full well the consequences of their actions would provide them the opportunity to take complete control of the state’s electric supply?

Government is subsidizing the manufacture of electric cars, installing solar systems in homes and solar panels on every public building in the state, to include schools and parks.

Solar systems on homes provide electricity to the grid, not to the homeowner. The energy produced is taken from the homeowner and sent to the grid, where it will be controlled and directed in accordance with government mandates.

If homeowners want access to the electric power generated by their solar panels, they would need to install a battery system on their solar system at a cost of $5,000 per battery and the battery backup lasts only six to eight hours. PG&E public safety power shutoffs are scheduled to last days at a time. To combat this would require installation of a backup electric generator system costing from $1,000 for a portable generator to $8,500 for a whole house system to include installation of a safety switch panel.

Our electric rates are rising because the government is in the process of taking control of electric power production and distribution. We are witnessing a government takeover of electric energy production and distribution. Do you really believe your electric energy costs will decrease as time goes on?

The definition of socialism is government control of the means of production. Wake up, America! ∆

advisor John Ehrlichman: “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the anti-war left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs?

Of course we did.”

Armed with modern tools of white supremacy and keenly aware of the abuses of Nixon, the Reagans happily went to work creating our mass incarceration system, circumventing the Bill of Rights, demonizing urban minority communities, and putting an end to any and all scientific research that might substantiate the validity of the La Guardia and Schafer reports. In fact, the DEA is still actively engaged in the obstruction of all independent science. Despite U.S. government patents (6630507) on medical cannabis, cannabis possession is still the No. 1 point of entry into our overwhelmed prison system, and the DEA still classifies cannabis as devoid of any medical use and deems it more dangerous than cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl.

Despite legalization across half of America, as well as California, the consequences of simple possession still include: excessive punishment, suspension of Second Amendment and voting rights, wholesale violations of privacy rights, denial of the “full faith and credit” clause, denial of access to medical care and privacy, loss of parental rights and federal aid, the loss of jobs and housing, exposure to no-knock and warrantless militarized police entries, drug testing without due cause, as well as the typical exposure to public ridicule and bigotry.

So when “sensitive receptors” talk about their “diminished rights” and arrogantly claim that the local cannabis cultivation is “fundamentally and innately incompatible with homes and businesses in rural, agricultural areas,” we all know precisely what they mean. ∆

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY JOHN DONEGAN

Shame and judgment I n one of his on-air rants, comedian Bill Maher suggested that “fat shaming” should be brought back. Not surprisingly, there was a lot of outraged push-back, but perhaps Maher has a point. And not just about fat-shaming, but about shaming generally.

But, before you jump to the conclusion that I am one of those insufferably smug and annoying fitness scolds with the metabolism of a hummingbird, who you might find nibbling kale chips while jogging and hectoring strangers with unsolicited health advice, let me disclose up front that I am myself, well, “big boned” or “husky.”

Hell, some might even say “stout.” OK, alright already then, “fat,” OK? I have thrown a few adoring glances in the direction of a cheeseburger or a flagon of ale, and I am sympathetic to those who may on occasion succumb to the siren song of junk food. So, I am not suggesting that the plump and portly should be targeted for ridicule and abuse, or pilloried in the public square for the smug amusement of the gaunt and self-satisfied.

Still, being fat is not healthy, and it seems that we have taken the whole “nonjudgmental thing” to the extreme and to the point of being enabling.

We live in strange times when social media “body-positive fashion influencers” demand that not only should their obesity be

overlooked, but that it must be celebrated as somehow desirable or “sexy.” We have recently witnessed demands that fantasy events like the Victoria’s Secret fashion show must now include fat models in order to be inclusive.

Online, in this everyone-gets-a-trophy era, we are treated to the spectacle of grotesquely fat “influencers” displaying pictures of themselves scantily clothed or nude, and expecting to be praised as “sexy” or “brave” for this narcissistic display.

And anyone who declines to praise this appalling spectacle, or who opines that it is not attractive, is denounced as a meanspirited “hater,” or worse, as “judgmental.”

The old tale of the “Emperor Has No Clothes” has morphed into a troubling tangent.

Let’s be honest. Do you truly want to see me in a Speedo strutting my stuff on the sands of Pismo Beach? Or would you rather that I remain modestly draped, and these influencers stay shrouded in their muumuus?

These strident demands for affirmation are just seeking an Orwellian fiction. No one really finds these people attractive or sexy. They just maintain the fiction because it is socially expected, and they will be criticized for shaming if they don’t.

Sort of being “shaming shamed,” if you will (things can get pretty complicated when you are militantly nonjudgmental).

Perhaps, as Maher suggests, the concept of “shame” should be revisited to discourage undesirable behaviors. Consider unwed motherhood. When I was growing up long ago, there was a lot of shame associated with getting pregnant out of wedlock. We had the now-quaint institution of the “home for unwed mothers” to which pregnant girls would disappear until after they delivered their baby. Cruel? Certainly, but that is what made it effective in discouraging teenage motherhood.

With all the social pathology associated with single-parent homes, perhaps the comeback of such shame might be beneficial in reducing the number of such births and the associated suffering.

Smoking is an example of a behavior that has been effectively shamed.

Increasingly, smokers are seen as, at best, weak victims of self-destructive behavior who are exiled to patios and sidewalks, where they huddle in wretched knots of self-loathing addicts and get their shameful “fix.” And there is no shortage of militantly self-righteous anti-smokers to remind them of their transgression.

Drug addiction? While the fashionable current narrative of the opiate epidemic is that the addicts are the hapless victims of giant pharmaceutical companies who are somehow forcing them to take these drugs, if we are honest with ourselves, we

will admit that drug addiction is usually not something that you just “catch” like the flu. It involves choices. Choices that might be discouraged by social shaming, rather than celebrated.

Certainly, some shaming is still widely endorsed. For example, consider racial bigotry, or at least the overt displays of it. In older times, racism was routinely expressed, and racial slurs like the “N-word” casually used. These days, in reasonably educated circles at least, using racial slurs is seen as ignorant behavior, so that the speaker would be shamed as “low-class,” and not someone whom others would emulate.

True, while this social inhibition may be superficial and might not reflect the true feelings of the individual, having the wider society adopt such cultural mores is a step in the right direction, and hopefully hearts will follow.

We have become too nonjudgmental, and the power of shaming could be utilized as it was in earlier times. We humans are social animals and seek the admiration of others, or to at least avoid their scorn. Rather than enabling self-destructive or undesirable behaviors trying to be “kind,” or using the heavy hand of the law to penalize them, we should try unleashing social approbation on those behaviors we wish to discourage. ∆ John Donegan is a retired attorney who lives in Pismo Beach, and rants on the issues of the day at every opportunity.

Opinion

The Shredder

Water wars!

A

s Mark Twain said, “Whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting,” and the various participants in the ongoing Paso Robles Water Basin fight ought to think about gathering ’round the same table, cracking open a bottle of Jack Daniels’ Old No. 7, and seeing if they can reach a consensus before the state of California steps in and decides what’s best for them.

If you haven’t been following along at home, water’s mighty scarce up in the North County’s 780-square-mile, muchdepleted aquifer. Maybe it’s because Paso Robles’ population grew from 19,500 people in 1990 to 32,000 by 2018, or maybe it’s because grape crops grew from 8,150 acres to 42,855 acres in the same time frame. Oh, who am I kidding? Of course it’s because of the grapes! That’s 525 percent more thirsty, thirsty grapes.

Oh my! But let’s not forget our eight-year drought that supposedly ended earlier this year … not.

In 2013, this people-grapes-drought trifecta led the SLO County Board of Supervisors to place a moratorium on new irrigation, but that didn’t work. (No surprise there!)

Then, the state passed the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), which requires the county to figure out how to stop over-pumping that basin.

Then, shenanigans ensued, including

a county supervisors’ vote to exclude the Estrella-El Pomar-Creston (EPC) Water District from a seat at the SGMA table.

Recently, the California State Board of Food and Agriculture chided the county, suggesting that its SGMA committee should be seeking more input from local ag interests like EPC. Then, 1st District Supe John Peschong and 4th District Supe Debbie Arnold had to defend their decision to exclude EPC, citing low “public trust” and the “scary” prospect of letting commercial ag have too much influence.

Then, the EPC shot back saying the state’s letter was proof that excluding them was a “bad decision.”

Whew. I need a drink, anyone else?

I’m probably skipping over a bunch more shenanigans, but who cares? The point is this is a big fat mess, and time is limited. Shouldn’t all the stakeholders have a seat at the table? Shouldn’t they all have a chance to offer their biased input, air their NIMBY grievances, and come to some kind of unfulfilling compromise?

That’s democracy at it’s finest, everyone.

The bottom line is there’s not enough water up there to satisfy the needs of everyone. There simply isn’t. If there’s a solution that doesn’t leave every single

stakeholder clasping their chapped hide, the solution won’t be fair.

As Mark Twain also said, “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” I suggest all stakeholders put down their pitchforks, pick up their whiskey glasses, and toast to an imperfect, ass-chapping solution everyone can be unhappy with.

You know who else is fighting about water, or at least how to deal with poopy water? You guessed it! Morro Bay! Holy hell. They fought about locations for this state-mandated new wastewater facility for years—and now that the city is actually moving forward with something, a handful of citizens who formed into groups of acronyms still just won’t quit.

In one corner, we’ve got CAL, or the Citizens for “Affordable” Living, who’s name doesn’t even make sense. They think that further delaying the already costly project will make it cheaper (fat chance!). They argue the problem is the South Bay Boulevard site, which they say is too expensive and will end up polluting the estuary. Plus they say the city gave a “sweetheart” deal to Tri-W Corporation to build the sewer and develop the accompanying property around it.

Then there’s HFEJ, or Home Front Environmental Justice, another aptly named opponent to the project. Uh, hey guys? The California Coastal Commission said the current plant needed to go because of environmental concerns.

Anyway, HFEJ got real butt-hurt when New Times published the city’s position: “Slowing down the project or changing

its location could also jeopardize millions of dollars in federal and state funding.

Morro Bay’s current sewage plant doesn’t comply with state requirements, and the Regional Water Quality Control Board mandated the city to construct a new wastewater treatment facility at an inland location by 2023. If the city doesn’t meet that deadline, the agency could fine Morro Bay $50,000 per month.”

“For the record,” said HFEJ’s Marla Jo Sadowski, “I do not concur with the representation made in it.”

Oh no! Should we run a retraction?

Really? Which part and why? Won’t changing locations and starting from square one require new plans and environmental impact reports? Don’t federal and state grants come with a time limit? Didn’t the state’s Regional Water Quality Control Board flat-out say get this built by 2023 or else cha-ching?

I love a grassroots movement as much as the next shredder, but at some point you have to stop whining and face the fact that this has to happen. Starting over— Again!—under the guise of “saving” money will actually cost more. Morro Bay’s foot-dragging already proved this.

The site for the new plant is settled and was approved by the damn California Coastal Commission, people! And they don’t really approve much of anything.

Don’t forget, everybody poops. Even grassroots activists. ∆ The Shredder doesn’t poop because it’s a machine! #skynetrules. Send ideas and comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

America’s music Hot jazz reigns supreme at the Jubilee by the Sea

I

t seems appropriate that the very first Jazz Jubilee by the Sea music festival was back in 1976. After all, that was America’s bicentennial, a celebration of our country’s first 200 years, and jazz is America’s quintessential music—a uniquely American art form that’s been embraced around the world.

For the last 42 years, local nonprofit group the Basin Street Regulars has been hosting the festival in Pismo Beach and Arroyo Grande, with events at five venues over three days: Friday, Oct. 25, through Sunday, Oct. 27 ($130 full festival passes; $30 for those under 30-years-old; kids 12 and under free; at pismojazz.com). This year, there’s also a Thursday, Oct. 24, free show featuring red-hot New Orleans act Tuba Skinny playing at the SLO Farmers’ Market at 7 p.m. at the corner of Higuera and Morro streets. We 3 + 1 also plays on Thursday, Oct. 24, at the Pismo Beach Vets Hall (6 to 9 p.m.; $25). The event features “Bob Draga, Danny Coots, Jeff Barnhart, and Larry Scala … jamming as only they can while making jokes and bantering,” according to press materials. Visit the website for a full schedule! With more than 20 acts playing 100 shows, there’re literally too many to list!

Tuba Skinny formed in 2009 as a loose collection of street musicians. In fact, when they’re not touring, they usually busk on Royal Street, in New Orleans, on Monday and Friday afternoons between 1:30 and 4 p.m. From spirituals to Depression-era blues to ragtime to traditional jazz, Tuba Skinny embodies the sounds of America’s original music.

Like most of the acts, Tuba Skinny will play multiple times over the festival

The Hearst Cancer Resource Center at French Hospital Medical Center Serving those touched by cancer and their families on the Central Coast During National Breast Cancer Awareness month, and all year, we are here with an array of complimentary services and resources to support you along your journey.

It all began after Tom Vendegna, MD was diagnosed with cancer in 2003. He realized then that San Luis Obispo did not offer a comprehensive resource center to support the challenges that cancer patients face. So he approached French Hospital to create one.

The services we offer include: Support services to help cope with a diagnosis and treatment.

Access to resources and education to provide cancer-related information.

Nurse Navigators to guide and support those going through a cancer diagnosis. Spanish-speaking navigators are available as well.

A variety of classes and events to help heal and connect with others in our community.

The Beauty and You program and Appearance Center provides hands-on makeup, skincare and wig techniques to help manage appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment.

Smoking Roach

Café R&B is one of my favorite blues bands to see live. The band’s singer, Roach, is absolutely electrifying—think Tina Turner electrifying! The band formed in 1995 and seems to roll through SLO Town about once a year for a SLO Blues Society show, and this Saturday, Oct. 26, they return to the SLO Vets Hall (7:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; $25 at my805tix.com, Boo Boo Records, Cheap Thrills, and at the door). Excellent local act Burning James and the Funky Flames open the show.

It’s impossible to oversell just how amazing Roach is! She and her husband, guitarist Byl Carruthers, backed by a tight as hell rhythm section, are simply amazing. Even Ike turner said of the band, “I ain’t seen nuthin’ like that since me and you-know-who!”

Whether they’re delivering classic covers of songs like “Born Under a Bad Sign” and “Killin’ Floor,” or busting out some of the originals, you can’t turn away!

They have four CDs out—Black and White (1998), Blues and All the Rest (2001), Very

Produced by rap and hip-hop pioneer Kurtis Blow, The Hip Hop Nutcracker comes to San Luis Obispo

O

ften regarded as the father of recorded rap, Kurtis Blow’s name speaks for itself, especially among those of the socalled “hip-hop generation.” But what is the iconic figure behind the game-changing 1979 track, “Christmas Rappin,’” up to this holiday season?

Since 2014, Blow has produced and performed with a holiday production that tours across the country with close to 50 shows a year. It’s called The Hip Hop Nutcracker, and it’s coming to the San Luis Obispo Performing Arts Center on Nov. 10.

With an opening set by the legend himself, The Hip Hop Nutcracker is a rap show, a dance performance, and a rendition of a centuries-old storyline all at once.

“You have this classic, and then you flip it into a modern piece that’s using break dancing instead of ballet,” Blow told New Times. “It’s awesome to see break dancing to classical music: a DJ playing funky beats with classical music playing on top. … It’s a fusion.”

Blow calls the production “a family show,” meant for all audiences.

“It is awesome to see the audiences that come out, all three generations: grandfathers, fathers, and children,” he said. “All ages, all nationalities: Everyone can come out.”

Besides his role as a producer, Blow also acts as the master of ceremonies for the show and plays a short rap set at the beginning to get the audience hyped up.

“As the MC and host I set the pace for what is going to happen,” Blow said. “We get ready to throw our hands in the air and party like we just don’t care. … We tell [the audience], ‘Look, we want you to let your hair down and have a great time … make a lot of noise when you want to. Scream at the bad guy.’ We set the pace, we set the tone, and we create the atmosphere.”

Blow ends his opening set with a track called “New Year’s Eve,” which provides a fitting transition into the classic love story that begins on New Year’s Eve. “I think that song ‘New Year’s Eve’ at the end, with everybody counting down from 10 to one, that’s the loudest response of the night,” Blow said. “The intro will get you there and make way for what you’re about to see.”

What follows Blow’s opener is not only a contemporary reimagination of the 1892 ballet set to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s timeless score; it is culture in the making that “has changed the face of music,” Blow said.

“When you have a DJ perform some music, it’s usually some unique and awesome sound … especially hip-hop, because the beats are so dynamic and funky,” Blow said. “Then you mix that with the dance, and it’s something you can’t beat. It’s the epitome of culture. You have these two different cultures from the 19th

CONVENTIONAL MEETS CONTEMPORARY The Hip Hop Nutcracker tells the traditional holiday love story—but with break dancing instead of ballet.

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE HIP HOP NUTCRACKER

On stage:

The Hip Hop Nutcracker will have one show in SLO, at the San Luis Obispo Performing Arts Center on Nov. 10. Tickets are available through the Cal Poly Ticket Office (tickets.calpoly. edu). More information about the production can be found at hiphopnutcracker.com.

FATHER OF RECORDED RAP Kurtis Blow’s long and illustrious career started with his groundbreaking release of “Christmas Rappin’” in 1979. The first rapper to sign with a major label, Blow now produces and opens for The Hip Hop Nutcracker.

century to the 21st century, and you’re fusing them together as a combination of the two. …

That’s what culture is all about.”

The concepts behind The Hip Hop Nutcracker are in many ways reminiscent of the wildly successful Broadway play Hamilton: a retelling of history using elements of hip-hop and rap. Finding ways to reimagine old stories or narratives using contemporary ingredients can help bring those stories back into relevancy, especially for audiences craving something new, uncharted, and unconventional.

“I thought it was very, very successful,” Blow said of Hamilton. “I would like to see some more plays that have that combination, that are using hip-hop to communicate the story.”

On the flip side, productions like Hamilton or The Hip Hop Nutcracker can also serve as an access point for audiences who haven’t yet experienced hip-hop, an art form that might be perceived as at-odds with something as antiquated and historically Eurocentric as Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker.

“Dig the concept,” Blow said when asked how audiences unfamiliar with hip-hop should approach the show. “We are playing the best theaters around the country. It’s an incredible event that is for everyone. The time of year is the holiday season, so everyone is feeling good inside. … These two young people fall in love, and their love creates a magic that defeats evil.

It’s a fun story, and I think everyone will be entertained and feel good inside after coming out to The Hip Hop Nutcracker.”

Despite how much hip-hop has changed since Blow made his first mark on music history in 1979, the rapper says that he appreciates contemporary hip-hop and that the constantly shifting nature of this genre is one of its defining features.

“I love all music, even the new hip-hop trap sound that’s predominantly on the radio today,” Blow said. “There is a balance, and maybe we need more conscious rap to get out there on the radio. … But there’s some incredible talent that’s out there today, and that’s hip-hop. I’m praying for everyone to be successful. Hopefully, hip-hop can save your life like it did mine.” ∆ Arts Writer Malea Martin is listening to “The Breaks.” Send arts story tips to mmartin@ newtimesslo.com.

uben Fleischer (Venom, Gangster Squad) directs this sequel to his 2009 comedy horror film, Zombieland, about four survivors—Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Wichita (Emma Stone), and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin)—navigating a zombie apocalypse wasteland. In this follow-up, they slay a whole lot of zombies and encounter other survivors such as Madison (Zoey Deutch), Nevada (Rosario Dawson), Berkeley ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP (Avan Jogia), What’s it rated?

WHO’S

Glen Set a few years after the original, this sequel finds America still overrun by zombies. Our four seasoned protagonists have gotten so good at killing zombies that they’ve even developed a taxonomy: Homers are the slow, easy-to-kill dimwitted zombies; Ninjas are the crafty zombies that can sneak up on you; and Hawkings are the super-smart zombies that are hard to evade. To spice things up, there’s a new kind of zombie, the T-800, a relentless, hard-to-kill zombie. The four are living in the White House, but they’re feeling restless, especially Little Rock, who’s tired of Tallahassee’s mothering and wants to meet someone her own age.

Even Columbus and Wichita’s romance is becoming strained. Naturally, change is in the air. What follows is something of a road movie, albeit one populated by flesheating monsters and other survivors.

Filled with the same pithy dialogue and gore of the original, Double Tap ups the ante with a bunch of new characters, a trip to Graceland, the search for a hippie utopia called Babylon, and a spectacular conclusion … that then gets even better during the credits with a flashback to the first day of the zombie apocalypse. The whole affair is a hoot!

Anna Double Tap is a whole lot of fun in a world jam packed with zombies, just like the first Zombieland. The crew has done well sticking together, but the monotony of day-to-day living is getting to

them. Time for an adventure through the zombie-strewn wasteland of America! I’ve watched the first Zombieland countless times—something about that formula of humor and gore just calls to me—and I wasn’t disappointed with the follow-up.

The same characters are there but they are also changed, after all it’s been a few years and they’ve all had some growing up to do—Little Rock especially. The young girl from the first film is now a young woman, one who feels cut off from her peers and lonely despite her constant companions. Harrelson is his usual awesome self as Tallahassee, in love with his big-ass truck and super overprotective of the young girl he helped raise. Wichita feels stifled by Columbus and soon takes off with her sister in a fly-by-night escape, leaving the two men in the dust. When Little Rock hooks up along the way with Berkeley, a hippie dude, the whole crew is back together in search of her along with Columbus’ new side piece, Madison, a ditzy blonde clad in all pink who has survived by living in a freezer at the mall. You can just imagine how much the rest of the crew loves their new tagalong friend. This movie is a whole lot of fun, and I have to agree the ending took the movie from good to great.

Glen One of the running gags in the Zombieland reality is that you can take

whatever you want. We see Van Gogh paintings hanging on the wall; when Columbus asks Wichita to marry him, he proposes with the Hope Diamond; and when they arrive at Graceland and see it fallen to ruin, they discover that Nevada (Dawson) has decorated her house with everything from the King’s blue suede shoes to his white jumpsuit. Dawson is a terrific addition to the cast. She’s a badass and just the kind of larger-thanlife woman to attract the larger-than-life Tallahassee. Yes, of course Harrelson dons the jumpsuit! You can tell the whole cast is having fun making this film. Of

Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10, Sunset Drive-In Co-directors Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon helm this animated comedy about a peculiar and macabre family.

Since cartoonist Charles Addams debuted his comic in The New Yorker in 1938, his macabre family of eccentrics has found its way into a beloved TV series (1964 to 1966), an animated TV series (1973 and again from 1992-’93), a couple popular films—The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993)—a direct-tovideo film (1998) that spawned another TV series (1998-’99), and a musical (2010).

Now we have this animated film that seems to be aimed squarely as the nostalgia center of parents who may have seen reruns of the ’60s TV series or the ’90s films starring Angelica Huston as Morticia and Raul Julia as Gomez. If you’re that parent,

feel free to haul your tykes into the theater but don’t be surprised if you find yourself napping. This is pretty pedestrian stuff—a paint-by-numbers story about being yourself even if you’re different.

It opens in “the old country,” where the Addams’ neighbors are finally fed up with their weirdness. Soon they’re run off and head to a place where they hope they can raise their children, Wednesday (Chloë Grace Moretz) and Pugsley (Finn Wolfhard), in peace. They go to a place “no one would be caught dead in”: New Jersey.

The plan is working perfectly as they’ve lived in peace for 13 years. Pugsley is about to have his coming-of-age sword ceremony, the Mazurka. The various members of their extended family are due to arrive. Then the fog around their abandoned asylum/home lifts, and the townsfolk below can see the dilapidated

course, this is a minor entertainment.

It’s not trying to outdo the original, just recapture its magic. It’s just a breezy, gag-filled romp. Quintessential dumb blonde, Madison, is the butt of a lot of jokes, but even she has a little character arc as she learns to use sarcasm. Little Rock realizes that Berkeley is a poser and that she’s much too tough for him. All the main characters, who spend this sequel searching for a home to call their own, eventually realize that their home can be found in one another. It’s not exactly profound, but it is sweet. Mostly, Double Tap is fun, and sometimes that’s all you need out of a movie.

Anna Exactly, this franchise doesn’t take itself too seriously and that’s half the fun.

The writers seem to know the first film can’t be outdone by the follow-up, and that’s OK. Don’t take it all too seriously, and you’ll have fun re-entering this world with the cast of characters we met a decade ago. The final battle for Babylon is epic, but the real treat happens just as you think the film is over. Don’t hop up from your seat early! Double Tap is a joyous ride, and I’m betting if you loved the first one as much as I did, any excuse to re-enter their world is welcome. There’s a great scene where two doppelgangers played by Luke Wilson and Thomas Middleditch confront Tallahassee and Columbus. It had me giggling like crazy.

Dawson is awesome as the badass motel baroness, and Zoey Deutch pulls off airhead Madison perfectly. There’s just a lot of fun to be had here. It’s definitely worth a trip to the theater. ∆

Don’t waste your time structure, and worries about declining property values bring the Addams in contact with their neighbors, including obnoxious reality TV host Margaux Needler (Allison Janney), who’s trying to create the perfect community.

Predictability follows.

Nick Kroll as Uncle Fester is certainly a highlight. He really channels Jackie Coogan, who played the character on the ’60s TV show. In fact, the entire cast has talent galore. Bette Midler plays Grandma, Martin Short is Grandpa Frump and Catherine O’Hara as Grandma Frump.

Snoop Dog is in a throwaway roll as the voice of It, but it’s still fun casting. I imagine he was high as a kite during his minimal voice work.

What’s it rated? Not rated What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? The Palm In this time-lapse filled nature doc, director Louie Schwartzberg (Mysteries of the Unseen World, Wings of Life) dives into the world of mushrooms and all the potential held by our favorite fungal friends to regenerate, treat disease, and sustain life.

Paul Stamets suffered from a socially crippling stutter until he ate a bag of magic mushrooms and tripped his face off in a forest during a thunderstorm.

He claims to have come out of the psychedelic experience with the diction of an acclaimed public speaker. Years later, when Stamets’ then 84-year-old mother was diagnosed with stage-four breast cancer, an experimental treatment that included several daily doses of turkey tail mushrooms saved her life and threw her into a full remission.

Those are just a few of the mindbending fungal miracles you’ll hear about in Fantastic Fungi, which follows the work of doctors and mycologists (aka fungus researchers) like Stamets as they research the potential benefits mushrooms could have on human and environmental health.

“There’s a feeling, the pulse of eternal knowledge,” narrates actress Brie Larson, who for some reason narrates the film as if she is in fact a mushroom. “When you sense the oneness, you are with us. We brought life to Earth. You can’t see us, but we flourish all around you, everywhere, in everything, and even inside you.”

Who knew fungi were so deep?

OK, so that part of the movie is annoying, especially because all the fungus poetry is overplayed with incessant time lapses of clouds moving and mushrooms sprouting and animals decaying. Get it? The circle of life? And I love Brie Larson, but she’s simply not David Attenborough, and if you can’t get Attenborough, why even try?

But anyway, even without Attenborough, this documentary is still fascinating and poignant, as researchers throughout argue that many mushrooms are not only edible and delicious, they could play a crucial role in fighting climate change. Fungi—which is

blah to elicit much interest. You know what’s going to happen from the outset, that Wednesday and Needler’s daughter, Parker (Elsie Fisher), will find a way to get along and triumph over the mean girls in public school.

The animation is pretty good and the characters really harken back to the original comic strip. The problem is the film’s one-note feel. Lines like these—“Are you unhappy darling?”

“Terribly!” or “Come in. Make yourself uncomfortable”—grow stale quickly. I laughed out loud a few times, but I dosed off more often than I laughed.

Maybe your kids will be amused, and it’s thankfully a brief 87 minutes, but if you’re longing to revisit the TV series, some episodes are available online, or you can rent the ’90s films. I would have been perfectly happy to have skipped this one.

How fun(gi)?!

And because we humans only really care about ourselves, the film also delves into all the ways in which mushrooms are being used to improve human health. That includes research into the use of psilocybin mushrooms, aka magic mushrooms, aka shrooms, aka yes, finally! This is why we all came to this movie.

Psilocybin are proving to be effective in reducing end-of-life anxieties in terminally ill patients, according to the film, in regenerating damaged brain cells, and are thought to help fight symptoms caused by Alzheimer’s. Some theorists even think magic mushrooms could have partially caused the rapid evolution of the human brain in prehistoric times. That’s right.

We were all just stoned apes once.

So even though I can’t get over the fact that Academy Award-winning actress Brie Larson pretended to be a mushroom for this film and that I’ve been pronouncing fungi incorrectly for 24 years, Fantastic Fungi proves that fungi really are just that: fantastic. (81 min.)

Park Rupert Gold’s (True Story) developing résumé includes a lot of directing films and television series based on true events and people. In the biopic Judy, he’s at it again, directing Renée Zellweger as America’s sweetheart and tragic figure, Judy Garland.

The film takes a look at Frances Ethel Gumm’s— aka Judy Garland’s—last months of her life, while showing glimpses of her past encounters with Louis B. Mayer on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) studio sets as a young actress.

Zellweger did a fine job portraying Garland’s fragility, movements on stage, and frantic yet elegant mannerisms. She also belted out all of Garland’s greatest hits throughout the film beautifully, but hers lacked the fantasy that Garland’s voice possessed.

I feel there was a lot missing from this story.

rom the first time I heard about Nailed It!, I wanted to love this show more than I do. What’s not to love about a cooking competition that makes a point of embracing failure without (undue) shame? Unfortunately, like the icing on most of the contestants’ creations, the show’s a bit thin. But, also like any sugary drizzle on any confection anywhere, the seeming lack of perfection won’t stop me from consuming a bit too much in one sitting.

Lack of perfection is absolutely the point of Nailed It!, which is refreshing in the face of some of my favorite cooking competitions— namely The Great British Baking Show. My family and I have vainly entertained notions of attempting to bake the masterpieces shown on GBBS, but we know better by now. This is where Nailed It! succeeds—it gives me permission to ditch my inner perfectionist and just bake already. Last spring break, my girls

and I, inspired after having watched too many Nailed It! episodes, tried our hands at fondant for the first time. I made a semblance of a rose, one daughter made a fairy door on our pink cake, and my other piped a purple ribbon of something flower-like around the top of the cake. Yeah, we nailed it.

The show also succeeds in being positive through and through, which makes it fun to watch with my 10- and 12-year-old daughters.

The whole premise sets each show’s three contestants up for failure, and everyone knows it. The judges know it, the audience knows it, and the contestants themselves know it—though in the behind-the-scenes interviews, they come off like they know what they’re doing, and some are in flat-out denial about their inabilities. Hosts Nicole Byer and chef Jacques Torres, along with a guest judge each episode, do their best to not utterly freak out at the finished products, whether they’re horrifying, inedible displays or nearly recognizable confections. The judges all have something constructive, if not all-out positive, to say each time.

Where Nailed It! falls off the side of “bingeable” show and into the realm of “hate watch” is that it lacks much substance. It’s glitzy and funny (but it tries a bit too hard) and there are serious prizes ($10,000!) for the novice home chef with cupcake bakery dreams or whatnot. But it rings hollow, like it’s not depending on much more than its schtick and

DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry, center), his groupie Columbia (Nell Campbell, left), and his domestic Magenta (Patricia Quinn) have a mad, sexy time in the cult classick, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, screening at the SLO Brew Rock Event Center and Downtown Centre.

MOVIES from page 41 Phillip asks her to marry him and to have dinner with his parents at the castle to celebrate. The catch—because there’s

always a catch—Phillip’s mother insists that Maleficent joins in on the celebration as well, to which Maleficent replies something along the lines of, “Yeah right, why would I go hang with those jerks?” but

obliges anyway.

If only Maleficent had heeded her own instincts, but then there would be no story. Turns out Phillip’s mother, Queen Ingrith (Michelle Pfeiffer), like all crazy mothers-in-law, is a psycho and basically accuses Maleficent of being evil.

Maleficent doesn’t stand for any nonsense she’s spewing and uses her magic in selfdefense from the guards. In that moment of hysterics, Phillip’s dad, King John (Robert Lindsay), falls to the ground and Queen Ingrith is quick to blame Maleficent for casting a spell on him. Maleficent has had about enough of her bull-crap and tells Aurora its time to go home, but Aurora chooses to stay.

A hurt Maleficent soars into the sky but a castle worker shoots a metal bead at Maleficent, injuring her. As she falls from the sky and into the water, a creature with horns and wings similar to hers dives into the water, saves her, and carries her back into the sky.

Are you keeping up with me or did I lose you? That was merely the first 30 minutes, but maybe I could be exaggerating. Then the movie dives right into a showing certain someone is actually evil, there’s a whole other world of creature-humans, and humans basically suck because they believe they have the right to do whatever they want.

While the film as a whole was entertaining, it just lacked a flow in the story. Not to mention the fact that it’s predictable. There were too many side stories that of course somehow come together in the end. But I don’t blame Jolie for a second; her portrayal of the character—down to the deep villainous voice she uses—is amazing.

She was ruling the screen and the other characters were peasants in comparison.

I would also mention that there was a lot of subtle violence for a PG-rated film.

So if you’re a parent who doesn’t want their child to see people with wings being shot down by basically BB guns, maybe skip this one. (118 min.)

Farm to desk FarmSLO transforms what children eat, starting with San Luis Coastal school district’s cafeteria line

I

n a triple-sized walk-in fridge, I see boxes of gorgeously irregular red, green, and yellow heirloom tomatoes and the few remaining melons from a 100-pound delivery of RobinSong Farms Charleston Grey melons.

This is not a behind-the-scenes tour of SLO Foods Co-op or the inner workings of a posh farm-to-table restaurant in downtown Paso. This fridge belongs to Laguna Middle School, the central kitchen for all of San Luis Coastal school district’s cafeterias.

“Kids say, ‘This is the best melon I’ve ever had.’ ‘This is the best tomato I’ve ever had,’” says Erin Primer, the district’s director of Food Services.

Students not only get to enjoy local tomatoes, melons, and other produce in their school lunches, they get opportunities to talk with the people who grow the food through “meet the farmer” events Primer organizes in school cafeterias.

These are the fruits of the San Luis Coastal Unified School District’s labors at the hands of Primer, who became the director of Food Services three years ago.

Inspired by the Center for Ecoliteracy to reform school food, Primer not only wanted to make school lunches healthier, but she considered local farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and food purveyors a vital part of the big picture.

Primer is partnering with Jeff Wade, founder/executive director of Slow Money SLO. The nonprofit provides funding for small farms and food purveyors and connects the small farm community to business opportunities. Primer made the decision to bring her school district into the FarmSLO program, which connects schools to Slow Money’s big protective hug surrounding Central Coast farms and ranches.

Before long, San Luis Coastal’s food service program started teaming up with local, healthy, ethically raised Larder meat and ordering those immense Charleston Grey melons from RobinSong Farms in Templeton. These same cafeterias are selling out of such exotic items as homemade chocolate hummus.

Primer is in charge of providing meals for a district with 7,700 enrolled students at 15 separate food sites, 30 percent of whom qualify for the free and reduced school lunch program. Every meal Primer serves cannot exceed the set meal price of $3.25.

Would anyone like to raise their hand to estimate how many healthy food items three bucks can buy in the real world?

On the upside, Michelle Obama’s “healthy school meals” program helped eliminate sodas and candy from the cafeterias since President Obama’s tenure.

Thanks to that national initiative and Primer’s know-how, what you won’t see at this district’s school cafeterias are fried

United for food

FarmSLO is a new program of Slow Money SLO, a nonprofit established in 2012, whose mission is to support the sustainable growth of small food, farm, ranch, and beverage purveyors to benefit the local food economy and the health of SLO County. The FarmSLO program includes working with San Luis Coastal Unified Food Services and other school food service programs to increase farm buying.

TWO VISIONARIES, ONE MELON FarmSLO founder Jeff Wade (right) stands with Director of Food Services for San Luis Coastal USD Erin Primer as she holds a Charleston Grey melon from a 100-pound box delivered by Robin Song Farms in Templeton. She said she bought them out of their harvest this time around!

STUDENTS MEET THEIR FARMERS A big part of Director of Food Services Erin Primer’s vision for San Luis Obispo County Schools is food and nutrition education. Here students learn about the food served in their cafeteria at a “Meet the Farmer” event.

foods and trans fats. What you will see is an opportunity for healthy choices. For instance, Primer just purchased hundreds of pounds of Los Osos-based Kandarian Farms organic grain. Then Primer’s team made those ingredients into a carnitas burrito bowl with a side of grain salad, replacing the croutons with a side of toasted farro.

Primer says the kids loved it.

During our tour of Laguna Middle School’s sparkling clean central kitchen, I notice friendly workers bustling in the food prep areas, gearing up to stock the salad bars. Other workers are also preparing sweet potato fries, homemade guacamole to go with tacos, and homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Out back, behind the bike racks, food delivery trucks are pulling up, their sides adorned with big photos of a bright, smiling young lady holding handfuls of sliced oranges.

When an item is organic or local, Primer’s interns and food service staff make signs on

the lunch line, and children receive regular health and wellness education on ecology, food and sustainability, and systems change straight from the Center for Ecoliteracy playbook.

Her impressive catering background enables her to be right at home in the Laguna Middle School industrial kitchen.

“When I came to school food, I realized so many things are different from the catering world. Budgets are a lot smaller, and plate cost is a lot different. But having that background of high-quality food, local food, amazing food and dining experiences, I didn’t understand why that didn’t bridge to students,” she says, noting that this is the right time to change the school food systems.

“And I saw a lot of opportunity for positive change by having these sorts of values around food and about working with who’s around and what is within your local community,” Primer says.

Primer and Wade tell me they’re working on Lucia Mar District next, and

44 • New Times • October 24 - October 31, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

they plan to expand to North County and beyond.

“Look at where we’ve come from,” Primer says. “It’s pretty amazing in a short amount of time.”

Primer says she appreciates forming local partnerships.

“The work that Jeff [Wade] has done in really wanting to support and promote local farms is incredible,” she says. “It’s really beyond my grasp.”

Wade, who comes from a background of high-tech marketing, sales, and business consulting, says that there’s a welcoming culture here for such endeavors.

“This region is a very open, acceptable region for starting new ventures,” Wade says.

After he and his wife moved here from Orange County, he says he was glad to learn the SLO community was all about getting locals involved and finding people who share the interest of sustainable farming practices. He has a special place in his heart for helping small farmers and artisan food purveyors thrive.

Primer says she wants to see even more local farms, ranches, and food purveyors walking into the school food arena. She recently sent out a $100,000 pizza bid to the entire county—but the only taker was a large national chain. Maybe with the help of the FarmSLO program, Primer will be seeing more bids from local pizza restaurants It seems that the right gears are in place to make this happen—since Slow Money SLO began in 2012, the organization has secured 53 lenders, 130 loans, $1.26 million in funding, and has found 26 food system beneficiaries. So keep an eye on what Primer and Wade have going on. ∆ Flavor writer Beth Giuffre is always learning while eating. Send kneadable knowledge to bgiuffre@newtimesslo.com.

D INE ’N’ DISH Tablas Creek’s complete collection of Chateauneuf du Pape grapes

For the Rhone-wine lovers here in SLO County, your ears may perk up to what is going on at Tablas Creek. Chateau de Beaucastel is renowned for using all the permitted Chateauneuf du Pape varieties in their blends. Tablas Creek Vineyard has been working on a project bringing the complete collection of these varieties to work with by partnering with Perrins of Chateau de Beaucastel and pioneering importer Robert Haas. At Tablas Creek, 4 acres have been set aside as increase blocks for these new grape varieties, and it’s pretty exciting to find out that wines have already been made from their first few harvests. Tablas Creek will now wait and see what their colleagues and neighbors do with this vine material.

While historically the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation in France’s Rhone Valley recognized 13 different grapes, 14 are planted at Beaucastel, counting grenache noir and grenache blanc separately. Tablas Creek Vineyard brought in high-quality clones of six of these when they began their project in 1989: grenache, mourvèdre, syrah, counoise, roussanne, and grenache blanc (they also brought in viognier and marsanne, which are traditional Cotes du Rhone grapes though not permitted in Chateauneuf du Pape). In 1998, Tablas Creek imported picpoul blanc.

In 2003, Haas worked out an agreement with UC Davis to bring in the remaining grapes (cinsaut, clairette blanche, terret noir, muscardin, vaccarèse, bourbelenc, and picardan). These vines underwent a rigorous indexing process conducted at UC Davis, and have been released to Tablas Creek Vineyard one by one as they have been found to be virus-free.

Three of the grapes (clairette blanche, terret noir, and picardan) are currently in production at Tablas Creek. Three more (bourboulenc, vaccarese, and cinsaut) were planted in 2017. Muscardin was released from quarantine last year and has been propagated in Sonoma since then. With the grafting of 250 buds onto rootstocks at Tablas Creek this summer, the winery looks forward to having all 14 in production within a few years.

The 2018 Tablas Creek Vineyard picardan, which retails at $30, is their third varietal bottling of this unique estategrown grape, propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel estate. With aromas of green tea, citrus on the palate, and creamy mineral body, this white Rhone is to be savored. Visit the tasting notes at tablascreekvineyard.com. ∆ Flavor writer Beth Giuffre is a unique varietal. Send your favorite beverages to sip and swirl to bgiuffre@newtimesslo.com.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: You don’t have to feel emotions that others try to manipulate you into feeling. You are free to be who you want to be. Freewillastrology.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Singapore has one of the world’s lowest fertility rates. A few years ago, this state of affairs prompted the government to urge Singaporeans to have sex on an annual holiday known as National Day. A new rap song was released in the hope of pumping up everyone’s libidos and instigating a baby boom. It included the lyrics, “Let’s make fireworks ignite / Let’s make Singapore’s birthrate spike.” I have a different reason for encouraging you to seek abundant high-quality sex, Aries. According to my analysis, tender orgasmic experiences will profoundly enhance your emotional intelligence in the coming weeks—and make you an excellent decision-maker just in time for your big decisions.

(P.S. You don’t necessarily need a partner.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the 1530s, explorer Jacques Cartier led expeditions from France to the New World. As Europeans often did back then, he and his team were rude and brutish to the indigenous folks who lived there, stealing their land, kidnapping some of them, and slaughtering colonies of great auks in a bird sanctuary. Yet there was one winter when Cartier’s marauders got crucial help from their victims, who gave them vitamin C-rich pine needle tea that cured their scurvy. I suspect you Tauruses will embark on quests and journeys in the coming months, and I’m hoping your behavior will be different from Cartier’s. When you arrive in unfamiliar places, be humble, curious, and respectful. Be hesitant to impose your concepts of what’s true, and be eager to learn from the locals. If you do, you’re likely to get rich teachings and benefits equivalent to the pine needle tea.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Many software engineers have enjoyed The Pragmatic Programmer, a book that helps them develop and refine their code. One popular technique the book offers is “rubber duck deprogramming.” Programmers place a toy rubber duck in front of them, and describe to it the problems they’re having. As they explain each line of code to their very good listener, they may discover what’s amiss. I recommend a similar approach to you as you embark on metaphorically debugging your own program, Gemini. If a rubber duck isn’t available, call on your favorite statue or stuffed animal, or even a photo of a catalytic teacher or relative or spirit.

(June 21-July 22): Read the following passage from Gabriel García Márquez’s novel One Hundred Years of Solitude.

“Gaston was not only a fierce lover, with endless wisdom and imagination, but he was also, perhaps, the first man in the history of the species who had made an emergency landing and had come close to killing himself and his sweetheart simply to make love in a field of violets.” I admire the romantic artistry of Gaston’s dramatic gesture. I applaud his imaginative desire to express his love in a carefully chosen sanctuary filled with beauty. I praise his intense devotion to playful extravagance. But I don’t recommend you do anything quite so extreme in behalf of love during the coming weeks. Being 20 percent as extreme might be just right, though.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In his song “Diplomatic Immunity,” rapper Drake disparages tranquility and harmony. “I listen to heavy metal for meditation, no silence,” he brags. “My body isn’t much of a sacred temple, with vodka and wine, and sleep at the opposite times,” he declares. Is there a method in his madness? It’s revealed in these lyrics: “All that peace and that unity: all that weak sh-- will ruin me.” In the coming weeks, Leo, I urge you to practice the exact opposite of Drake’s approach. It’s time to treat yourself to an intense and extended phase of self-care.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s a favorable time to refresh your relationships with your basic sources and to make connections with new basic sources. To spur your creative thought on these matters, I offer the following questions to

New Times • 1010 Marsh Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 805.546.8208 • Fax: 805.546.8641 • www.NewTimesSLO.com

meditate on. 1. If you weren’t living where you do now, what other place might you like to call home? 2. If you didn’t have the name you actually go by, what other name would you choose? 3. If you had an urge to expand the circle of allies that supports and stimulates you, whom would you seek out? 4. If you wanted to add new foods and herbs that would nurture your physical health and new experiences that would nurture your mental health, what would they be?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Mushrooms have spores, not seeds.

They’re tiny. If you could stack 2,500 of them, they’d be an inch high. On the other hand, they are numerous. A ripe mushroom may release up to 16 million spores. And each spore is so lightweight, the wind can pick it up and fling it long distances. I’ll encourage you to express your power and influence like a mushroom in the coming days: subtle and airy but abundant; light and fine, but relentless and bountiful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Sometimes the easiest way to get something done is to be a little naive about it,” writes computer engineer Bill Joy. I invite you to consider the value of that perspective, Scorpio—even though you’re the least likely sign in all the zodiac to do so. Being naive just doesn’t come naturally to you; you often know more than everyone else around you. Maybe you’ll be more receptive to my suggestion if I reframe the task. Are you familiar with the Zen Buddhist concept of “beginner’s mind”? You wipe away your assumptions and see everything as if it were the first time you were in its presence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Is it always a bad thing to be lost? To wander in the unknown without a map? I’d like to propose a good version of being lost. It requires you to be willing to give up your certainties, to relinquish your grip on the comforting dogmas that have structured your world—but to do so gladly, with a spirit of cheerful expectancy and curiosity. It doesn’t require you to be a macho hero who feels no fear or confusion. Rather, you have faith that life will provide blessings that weren’t possible until you got lost.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Worrying is the most natural and spontaneous of all human functions,” wrote science educator Lewis Thomas. “Let’s acknowledge this, perhaps even learn to do it better.” I agree with him! And I think it’s an ideal time for you to learn how to worry more effectively, more potently, and with greater artistry. What might that look like?

First, you wouldn’t feel shame or guilt about worrying. You wouldn’t regard it as a failing. Rather, you would raise your worrying to a higher power. You’d wield it as a savvy tool to discern which situations truly need your concerned energy and which don’t.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Some wounds go so deep that you don’t even feel them until months, maybe years, later,” wrote Aquarian author Julius Lester. Pay attention to that thought, Aquarius. The bad news is that you are just now beginning to feel a wound that was inflicted some time ago. But that’s also the good news, because it means the wound will no longer be hidden and unknowable. And because you’ll be fully aware of it, you’ll be empowered to launch the healing process. I suggest you follow your early intuitions about how best to proceed with the cure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you’ve been having dreams or fantasies that the roof is sinking or the walls are closing in, you should interpret it as a sign that you should consider moving into a more spacious situation. If you have been trapped within the narrow confines of limited possibilities, it’s time to break free and flee to a wide open frontier. In general, Pisces, I urge you to insist on more expansiveness in everything you do, even if that requires you to demolish cute little mental blocks that have tricked you into thinking small. ∆
