Grover Beach dispensary owner faces charges in cannabis probe

ne of 805 Beach Breaks’ owners is facing criminal charges in Santa Barbara County as part of an investigation into a cannabis farm in Los Alamos that was raided by law enforcement last month. Brian Touey is one of three growers being charged in connection to the site at 9676 Harvest Road, which housed hundreds of thousands of unlicensed plants, according to the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office. On March 28, authorities seized the plants, as well as more than $32,000 in property assets at a facility in Nipomo on Hutton Road that was “used as an instrument to facilitate ... the sale of a controlled substance,” according to court records. Touey faces one felony charge for perjury—related to falsifying documents to Santa Barbara County—and two misdemeanors for the unlawful cultivation and sale of cannabis. He pleaded not guilty to the charges on April 23. Touey declined to comment on the case on April 24. The charges filed are only relevant to activities that allegedly took place in

Santa Barbara County, according to Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter. The Grover Beach Police Department is currently investigating whether 805 Beach Breaks violated any local laws, in light of Santa Barbara’s probe. The dispensary briefly closed on March 28 while authorities searched the shop and found cannabis products allegedly sourced from the Los Alamos grow. At the time, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office declined to disclose whether Touey was involved with the grow. Per documents obtained by New Times, Santa Barbara County sent state cannabis licensing agencies multiple letters of temporary approval for Touey’s cultivation activities in Los Alamos— based on his statements that cannabis was grown on the site before Jan. 19, 2016. Prosecutors are alleging that Touey’s statements were false. According to the state Bureau of Cannabis website, Touey is listed as part owner of 805 Beach Breaks with Erich Haas. It was the first brick-andmortar cannabis store to open in SLO County in 2018. Δ —Peter Johnson

SLO County DA charges driver of fatal El Campo accident with manslaughter

The San Luis Obispo County District Attorney is charging Richard Giuli with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in the death of former Cal Poly freshman, Jordan Grant. According to court documents, Richard Giuli allegedly unlawfully killed Grant, without malice, while making a left turn across Highway 101 at El Campo Road. Assistant District Attorney Eric Dobroth said Giuli is scheduled to appear at the San Luis Obispo Superior Court on April 25 for his arraignment. Dobroth said Giuli will be formally informed of the charges against him and will have the opportunity to enter a plea. Grant’s father, James Grant, told New Times that he’s glad that charges are being pressed, because, in his view, Giuli is guilty. “But our judgment does need to be moderated because he should not have been allowed to have that opportunity to make that mistake, and that’s really the responsibility of Caltrans and the other jurisdictions that control that intersection, so we have to remember that in our judgment of him,” James said. According to the California Highway Patrol, on Oct. 7, 2018, Grant was driving his motorcycle on Highway 101 when a BMW was in the process of making an unsafe left turn at the El Campo intersection in front of him. Grant slid into the left side of the car and was fatally injured. The court documents allege that Giuli was the driver of the BMW.

ALLEGATIONS One of 805 Beach Breaks’ owners is facing criminal charges in Santa Barbara County over an allegedly illegal cannabis farm in Los Alamos (pictured), which was raided by authorities last month.

Grant’s death sparked a movement by his parents and supporters to urge local officials to partially close El Campo and three other intersections between Traffic Way and Los Berros Road along Highway 101. The San Luis Obispo Council of Governments approved the proposed partial closure on April 3, and on April 23 the SLO County Board of Supervisors approved a letter of support for the proposal to Caltrans. “We know people shouldn’t be making those left-hand turns. And we don’t know if [Giuli] knew that or not, but we know it, and we have to consider that as this criminal proceeding moves forward,” James said. —Karen Garcia

County OKs funds for Grover Beach homeless project

Bucking a roomful of unhappy Five Cities residents, San Luis Obispo County supervisors narrowly voted on April 23 to allocate $2.7 million to aid a low-income housing and homeless services project planned in Grover Beach. The funds—made available to SLO County through state grants—will help pave the way for the 5Cities Homeless Coalition and Peoples’ SelfHelp Housing to acquire property on Newport Avenue, which they hope to develop into 19 lowincome apartments, transitional housing for homeless youth, and other services and uses, such as offices. Advocates say the proposal helps address a sizable gap in homeless services in South County.

“We’re very grateful for the opportunity,” 5Cities Homeless Coalition Executive Director Janna Nichols told New Times after the board’s vote. “We’re assessing next steps.” 5Cities Homeless Coalition is in escrow to purchase the property, which currently houses Hillside Church in a residential zone. The project faces intense opposition from nearby NEWS continued page 6

residents. Nearly 500 residents signed a petition submitted to the county titled, “Don’t allow homeless facilities in a residential neighborhood.” Dozens attended the April 23 meeting to ask that the supervisors not send funds to the project, citing safety and traffic concerns with its location in a neighborhood close to schools. “We are not heartless people,” one resident said. “We do feel there is a need [for homeless services]. But this is the wrong location. It is simply the wrong location.” “Young children don’t have the capacity to deal with the type of people who will be in this facility,” another speaker said. “Children will no longer be able to [walk to school].” After hours of public comment, the supervisors voted 3-2 to approve the funding allocation. Supervisors Lynn Compton (4th District) and Debbie Arnold (5th District) dissented, citing issues with the location and the local opposition. Compton said neighbors had “legitimate concerns about people wandering the streets” and that services for the homeless shouldn’t come “at the expense of the other people.” “We want to try to minimize conflicts when we can,” Compton said. “My problem with this is [it’s] in a residential area.” Arnold added, “I can’t get behind a project with this extreme opposition,” and pointed to other organizations that had applied for the funds but weren’t in line to receive them—like the Salvation Army, which proposed acquiring supportive housing units “scattered” around the county. While Compton and Arnold discussed conditioning the funds for 5Cities Homeless Coalition on its reaching a resolution with the neighborhood, Supervisor John Peschong (1st District) broke the 2-2 deadlock with his support for the allocation. “I don’t want to put any strings attached on the money,” Peschong said, adding, “I don’t believe they’re going to allow people to roam the streets.” Peschong noted that the Grover Beach City Council will be the body to ultimately make the decision on the project. “There are a number of people in this room who want us to take over land use,” he said. “That’s up to the City Council. There’s a way forward here that’s only going to come from the community.”

VIEWER DISCRETION

by Jayson Mellom

Nichols of the 5Cities Homeless Coalition told New Times they’ll be honing the details of their proposal in the coming weeks before submitting an application with the city of Grover Beach. “We’re looking at the project plan,” she said. “We’re continuing to look at what project we can put forward that will try to satisfy the needs of the homeless and at the same time respect some of the concerns expressed by the neighborhood.” In addition to the $2.7 million sent to the Grover Beach project, the Board of Supervisors also allocated $1.5 million for a new homeless warming and services center in Paso Robles, as well as $400,000 to CAPSLO to help build a detox facility at 40 Prado in SLO. —Peter Johnson

Opening the Avila Pier could cost $1 million

Port San Luis Harbor District commissioners questioned whether re-opening the Avila Pier would be a revenue-generating investment after receiving its estimated cost at the April 23 meeting. Long Beach-based construction engineering firm Moffatt & Nichol estimated that a complete restoration of the pier would cost the district $1 million. Drew Brandy, district commissioner, said he wasn’t convinced the district should put money into the Avila Beach Pier when there are other capital projects, such as the Harford Pier, that need funding as well. For a full restoration, Moffatt & Nichol estimated the project would need to be done in two phases. The first phase includes repairing five to 10 piles. It would allow full pedestrian access (with continuous monitoring for safety) and some areas with limited vehicle and emergency access. The cost is estimated to be $250,000. The second full phase necessitates repairing 30 to 40 additional piles and would need monitoring on a five-year basis going forward. It would make the piles resistant to some damage and decay and is estimated to cost $750,000. Chris Munson, district facilities manager, said staff has had promising discussions with the Coastal Conservancy, Wildlife Conservation Board, and Division of Boating and Waterways, which all expressed optimism at the prospect of funding a portion of the pier rehabilitation. Other sources of funding could potentially come from The

Friends of Avila Pier, a group that is still in the process of establishing itself. In order to kick-start the whole project, district staff recommended that the commission include $150,000 in the upcoming 2019-20 fiscal year budget, which will be reviewed in May, for the inspection assessment and construction plans of the pier. Moffatt & Nichol was hired by the district to conduct an assessment of the Avila Beach Pier in order to determine whether it could reopen after three years of being closed indefinitely. The firm’s report concluded that the pier could be opened halfway with minor repairs to the pier’s piles. —Karen Garcia

County supervisors allow affordable housing development in Cambria

Cambria residents urged the SLO County Board of Supervisors to deny the appeal of an affordable housing project at supervisors’ April 23 meeting. During public comment, Cambria resident Susie Sigler said that having affordable housing in Cambria would be good for the greater community. She said restaurant and hotel workers, housekeepers, and assisted living workers could benefit from the project. “I have a 99-year-old father and a 93-year-old mother; I could not take care of them if I did not have the help of people who provided services in my town to take care of me,” Sigler said. “These are very important members of our community,

Open daily 10am-6pm 6 • New Times • April 25 - May 2, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

and they deserve our respect and gratitude, and they deserve high-quality, affordable, and legal housing.” Cambria residents Mary Webb and Christine Heinrichs appealed the Jan. 10 SLO County Planning Commission’s approval of Peoples’ Self-Help Housing’s request for a development plan and coastal development permit to build a 33unit affordable housing project. The coastal development permit will allow Peoples’ Self-Help Housing to construct the eight-building apartment complex on Schoolhouse Lane, the same site as the nonprofit’s existing 24unit, multi-family Schoolhouse Lane Apartments. The appeal focused on water availability concerns and related impacts to biological resources dependent on Cambria’s water supplies, Santa Rosa and San Simeon creeks’ aquifers. Webb and Heinrichs also raised concerns related to traffic safety and evacuation during an emergency such as a wildfire. “Using a noble goal to place people in harm’s way and further stress limited community resources is not a solution to anything,” Heinrichs said. The Board of Supervisors unanimously denied the appeal, and 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold said she knew for a fact that multiple families were living together in order to live affordably. “I understand that water is an issue. I’m the chair of the fire safety council; I know fire is an issue … but [we need to be] balancing it out because something has to be done about the availability of workforce housing up there,” Arnold said.

Mapping the future County pours $300,000 into private sector led Hourglass Project

ocal governments tend to write a lot of plans. Cities and counties have general plans, infrastructure plans, housing plans, economic plans, master plans, and more. But merely having a blueprint doesn’t necessarily guarantee the outcome it envisions. Sometimes a plan can sit on the proverbial shelf, collecting dust, while the problem it’s supposed to solve persists. And when communities have different plans over one broader region, they don’t always commingle in a way that works for the whole. This is what local business leaders helming the Hourglass Project say they’ve seen happen on the Central Coast too often—and hope they can help change. “I think it starts with talking with each other,” Hourglass Project CEO Melissa James told New Times. “It starts with developing a common vision and identity.” Born last year out of shared concern for the future of the Central Coast economy, the private sector-led nonprofit has ambitions to craft a comprehensive economic plan for the region that can actually achieve the lofty goals it sets— whether it’s in job growth, housing, infrastructure, or policy. “We’re going to try to bring together the region’s thought leaders to envision the kind of future we want to see,” said James, who previously headed the SLO Chamber of Commerce. “When you stand around and talk about the challenges you face, you just kind of get stuck with the repeat button. Our goal is to move the region forward and get beyond the challenges.” San Luis Obispo County wants to help them do it. On April 23, county supervisors voted to grant $300,000 to aid the Hourglass Project in creating a Central Coast Jobs Roadmap and Action Plan. The grant was pulled out of a $3.8 million pool of PG&E ratepayer monies given to the county through Senate Bill 1090 to address Diablo Canyon Power Plant closure impacts.

intensive conversations with businesses, local government leaders, and the public—and a survey of 800 residents. The plan will then identify areas of opportunities for various industries, what obstacles are in the way for them to succeed, and a “go-forward plan.” It will also involve the creation of a new interactive database to visualize the region’s economy and help map its assets/ constraints in relation to infrastructure, housing, zoning, and more. The overall idea, James said, is to think about the Central Coast more regionally—to cultivate a sense of cohesion and identity among the disparate communities to tackle problems and plan solutions. Getting on the same page would help the region compete for state and federal dollars to fund large, game-changing infrastructure projects, from transportation to water, she added. “You think about our region—it’s 12 cities and two counties,” James said. “Any given Tuesday, that’s 70 elected officials making decisions about their individual communities. ... It’s weaving those things together into a larger regional picture. It’s a new picture.” The Hourglass Project’s aim is to serve as the engine and coordinator of these efforts. Its board of directors includes well known area CEOs like Ty Safreno of Trust Automation and Clint Pearce of Madonna Enterprises, as well as chambers of commerce heads and other economic organization leaders. James said the project’s success ultimately hinges on full participation from the communities, from Paso Robles to Santa Maria. “It’s not mandated. It’s a volunteer sport,” she said. “It requires people being bought-in and partnering and working to achieve a common vision.” SLO County officials said they see the Hourglass Project as a worthy recipient of some of its precious Diablo Canyon

James called the Central Coast Jobs Roadmap and Action Plan a first step for the coalition that will essentially outline: what jobs are already on the Central Coast (from Camp Roberts to Vandenberg Air Force Base), what jobs are desired, how many are needed, where they should be located, and when they should arrive. “The action plan is the strategic first step,” James explained. “These aren’t things you do overnight. They take a lot of intention and thought, and a lot of collaboration, to achieve.” Included as part of the plan will be

closure mitigation money. “In the meetings I’ve been part of, the kinds of things I’m hearing suggest they actually do have the people in a room who can put together a plan that I think the community needs,” County Assistant Administrative Officer Guy Savage said. “We’ve tried to do this with a local government-led approach; it’s often difficult for us. ... With them driving it, that’s a much better model.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

t’s been a little more than a year since Susan Valerio left her friends, a job as a medical assistant, and her boyfriend behind in San Diego to take over as the head of the household after her mother, Neofita Valerio-Silva, was deported in January 2018. Her father, Carlos Bernal, was deported the year before Neofita. For more than a decade, Susan’s parents had continually notified the ICE office of their presence in the country, renewing temporary work permits over and over again. In both cases, Immigration and Customs Enforcement simply notified them one day that they didn’t have a lawful reason to stay in the country. With both her parents gone, Susan, 24, stepped up to continue providing a home for her siblings—her now 18-yearold sister, Grecia Valerio, and 21-year-old brother, Johnny Valerio—in Grover Beach. Susan told New Times that it hasn’t been an easy transition for her, but she doesn’t have a lot of time to dwell on her emotions. “I can’t stop and just fall apart; I have to work. I knew that from the beginning, because when I was in San Diego and everything was happening, I was having all these emotions about my mom and my dad, but I couldn’t really feel that completely. I had to focus on what I needed to do,” Susan said. Right now, she’s coping with her parents’ absence and dealing with the responsibilities left behind. She feels that there aren’t many people who understand what she’s going through. The immigration discussion became an even hotter topic when President Donald Trump took office in 2016 with a campaign promise of enforcing immigration laws to protect American communities and American jobs. In 2017, the Trump administration enacted a travel ban on people from seven Muslimmajority countries. In 2018, nearly 2,000 immigrant children were separated from their families due to not crossing at a legal port of entry. In 2019, the administration suggested a policy of busing illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities. Trump tweeted on April 13 that Democrats must change the immigration laws fast: “If not, sanctuary cities must immediately act to take care of the illegal immigrants—and this includes gang members, drug dealers, human traffickers, and criminals of all shapes, sizes, and kinds. Change the laws now,” the tweet stated. Locally, Latinos with legal status and those who are undocumented are feeling the effects of the broader discussion and the stigma of being seen as an immigrant. Families such as the Valerios aren’t the only ones dealing with the consequences of having a deported family member. There are other families dealing with the trauma of being separated and assuming the roles that the deported have left behind. In order to support the families left behind, agencies and community groups are working to get them the right information and resources to get through.

Picking up the pieces

When Susan’s mother, Neofita, was detained and deported to Mexico, neither her husband nor her children got to see her during that process. Six months after Neofita was left in Tijuana, Mexico, she boarded a plane to Alcapulco, Mexico, with a ticket Susan purchased. Susan said her mom wanted them to visit her—but she was more desperate to figure out how she could get back to the United States, to her home in Grover Beach. “It was kind of like I had this pressure from her that I had to figure it out and I had to get her back,” Susan said. “Not in a mean way—it’s just that she really didn’t want to be there, which I understand it was really hard for her to not be here.”

REUNITED (from left to right, Grecia, Neofita, Carlos, and Susan) Ten months after Susan Valerio’s mother was deported, the community helped her and her siblings board a plane to visit their parents in Mexico, Susan said.

Susan hasn’t been entirely alone in this. Her siblings go to school and have parttime jobs. Grecia and Johnny help out from time to time with groceries, but they need the majority of their income to make their own ends meet. When Susan left San Diego, she resigned from her medical assistant position in order to move. Since then, Susan has successfully secured a medical assistant position on the Central Coast. With that income, she’s tasked with taking care of the utility bills, the mortgage on her parents’ house, and any other necessities that she and her siblings might need. She doesn’t mind the work. Susan said going to work every day is her escape from thinking about her family’s situation because she’s able to focus on the patients and their needs. “I’ve always dealt with depression and anxiety, but I just feel like lately it’s gotten harder and harder to deal with. The stress from work I can handle, but the stress from my family and having to deal with all that, that’s through the roof sometimes,” she said. In October 2018, with financial help from family friends, Susan and her siblings went to Mexico to visit their parents. Neofita and Carlos are currently living in an apartment 30 minutes from the Juan N. Alvarez International Airport in Acapulco. Carlos is working to support himself and Neofita. Susan said her mom hasn’t found a job yet because it’s difficult to find a job in Mexico and Neofita is still holding onto the idea that Susan will figure out a way to get her back. During their trip to Mexico, the family visited with each other, saw their extended family, and checked out the neighborhood. Susan said her mom looks the same, aside from a little weight loss. Her dad, on the other hand, looks like he’s aged and lost a lot of weight. “I feel like when he was [in Grover Beach] he got to work and then do things he liked, and now, he’s just working and surviving out there,” Susan said. In January 2018, Susan filed an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative—a form that

helps a relative immigrate to the United States. A couple of weeks after her trip to Mexico, she received an approval through the mail for her petition. It came with instructions on the next steps: File and submit an application and await another approval to bring her mother back. Susan said she reached out to the lawyers who’ve been on her parents’ case. That’s when she received the news that her mother had been barred from re-entering the United States for 10 years. According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website, a person could be barred for 10 years if you depart the United States after having accrued one year or more of unlawful presence during a single stay, regardless of whether you leave before, during, or after removal proceedings. The website states that “unlawful presence is the period of time when you are in the United States without being admitted or paroled or when you are not in a period of stay authorized by the secretary.” Susan’s lawyer said even if her petition had been approved and she did the necessary paperwork, her mother would still be barred from re-entering until the 10 years were up. Neofita filed an appeal for her work visa in 2006 with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), and it was denied; she filed for a petition for a review of the BIA’s decision in 2008, and it was denied. A year later the BIA denied her motion to reopen her immigration case, and an immigration judge ordered her removal. “My mom does know [that she’s barred], but it doesn’t feel like she has accepted it,” “She has a lot of faith that something will change, and she will be able to come back soon, and we all try to hold onto that because we don’t want it to be true either,” Susan said.

Under pressure

Susana Lopez’s office, like many professional offices, is white. Except for a corner bursting with the color of books and stuffed animals with a small table that’s large enough for a child. Lopez is a bilingual licensed clinical psychologist

who specializes in trauma-informed and healing-centered psychological intervention for individuals in at-risk communities. As the co-founder of Resilience Psychological Collaborative, she works with clients who deal with issues related to life transitions, including immigration and acculturation processes, pediatric medical conditions, and family disruptions. She’s been practicing therapy since 2005. “It’s been different because the political climate has changed. We’ve always been in a climate that we’re not very accepting of people that are not the same as us or has had similar experiences as us,” Lopez said. With time, she said, the fear has gotten worse with new proposed legislation that has created more anxiety in communities. When she started working with individuals from the Latino community, the source of stress for many was adapting to a different community with different cultures and intergenerational differences between parents and their children. “As time has evolved and families have been separated, there is a fear of someone coming to your house, knocking on your door, and deporting you,” Lopez said. Because of this resulting and lasting fear, she sees clients who have adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder. She said they are natural consequences of an abrupt family separation. Even if families do experience separation and get reunited after a number of years, it still disrupts the family dynamics. Lopez said if a mother is taken away when a child is 8 years old and returns when the child is 11, the mother might treat the child like he or she is still 8. “The child thinks, ‘Wait a second, I’m a pre-teen. You can’t treat me like that,’ and then there’s a strain in the relationship. It’s not all, ‘Oh we’re finally together; it’s the happy ending,’” she said. Lopez has also worked with refugees who recently arrived in the United States seeking asylum. She said such cases are different because these individuals are often fleeing from violence and danger, so they have trauma from that experience. On top of that, those individuals also experience the trauma of not being accepted here, while navigating society, the education system, and legal system. While every client has a unique story, Lopez said she sees a lot of overlap in the stress that families are experiencing. Her clients, she said, tell her that the fear of being deported or not being accepted has changed the way that they see the world. They don’t feel wanted or supported. “If you don’t feel safe in your own home, you’re not going to feel safe anywhere else. So you start questioning people, putting up more boundaries between yourself and others. You start losing trust in people, in the legal system, and in our country,” she said. “Especially if you see the news and you see people that are supporting things that are not in line with your own story.”

When Lopez learned that she was undocumented, it changed the way she saw the world. Born in Mexico, Lopez’s family brought her to the United States when she was just a year old. It wasn’t until she was in high school, ready to apply for colleges, that she found out she didn’t have the Social Security number or green card that she needed for her applications. She said it completely transformed the way she saw herself and everything else. “I remember feeling dehumanized, you know quote-un-quote ‘an alien,’ that I almost lost myself in the process, and then I had to remember, ‘No, I’m not an alien, I’m a human,’” Lopez said. That barrier wasn’t going to stop Lopez from following her dream of studying psychology. She took a psychology class in high school and immediately became interested in how the brain works and family dynamics. After learning about her documentation status, she wanted to find out how psychology played a role in her life experience. “For me, at that age, I also wanted to learn how do people overcome when things go wrong in life, when stressors like these are happening. How do people still go to work, how do people have families, or how do people achieve their dreams—I wanted answers to all that,” she said. Lopez is now a citizen of the United States and sometimes shares her experience with her clients. She does it to show them that they’re not alone and there’s hope in their situations. If someone is going through the legal system to change their status or renew a visa and is experiencing any type of trauma or other symptoms (anxiety, depression), they don’t have to go through it alone. “Immigrants tend to be very resilient, because if they weren’t, they wouldn’t leave everything from their home country to come here,” Lopez said. She said building human connections with family and friends who can be supportive is a good way to cope with the stress. If an individual has lingering legal questions, they should seek legal assistance from nonprofits, private lawyers, case managers, national organizations, or county organizations. Lopez said she tells her clients who are parents that it’s OK to talk about their worries, stress, or situation with their child. But the parents should also share their hopes, dreams, and their plans to get through this hard time. “You don’t have to pretend you are superheroes all the time. Resilience means to overcome adversity, so it means that you have to try and make a better impact on your situation,” she said.

Eliminating fear

Sitting at a long table in Nautical Bean on Parker Street in SLO, Douglas Pillsbury, Gina Whitaker, Mary Lynn Crandall, and Solina Lindahl talk and eat their lunch. The group is called Allies for Immigration Justice, a band of educators, retired educators, and social activists. They met because they were part of a larger group attempting to help a local family from Guadalajara, Mexico. Whitaker said a woman and her son were fleeing from their country and seeking asylum in the United States. She and her four colleagues were half of the eight people who answered a call to the community looking for individuals who could assist the woman. That was two years ago, Whitaker said, and since then they’ve taught the woman how to drive and helped her find an affordable place to live, get her son into a preschool, and get a work permit that allows her to stay in the country. While they successfully helped the woman find a way of life on the Central

HOLDING UNIVERSALITY Susana Lopez is a clinical psychologist who shares her story of being an undocumented immigrant in the U.S. with the hope of uplifting others who are going through the process of changing their documentation status or pursuing a visa to stay with their families.

Coast, she still struggles to balance the cost of living in the area. “There are so many obstacles,” Whitaker said. “They’re the same obstacles that any of us who try to relocate is challenged by.” With this experience, Crandall said the four of them wanted to do something more, look at the larger issues, and work with the community. “Our focus is education and outreach. What we would really like is for people to start taking a closer look at the complexities of the issue and not just the sound bites that they hear on TV,” she said. In order to get the community informed, Allies for Immigration Justice has held informational panels, a film viewing and discussion of Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America, and have been working to collaborate with local organizations to get resources and information out there. The group is working with Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE) to establish an interfaith coalition between northern Santa Barbara County and southern San Luis Obispo County. They also work with First 5 Health Access Training Project, which held an event on Jan. 31 called Supporting Immigrant Families, a forum for SLO County family-serving providers. The topics included information for parents to help them manage family stress and information for families about immigration policy proposals. Joel Diringer, a retiring attorney with more than 30 years in the nonprofit, health, government, and philanthropic sectors, spoke at the forum about how someone could become a charge of the public. The term “public charge” is used by U.S. immigration officials to classify immigrants who are denied entry due to their dependency on the government for subsistence, as demonstrated by either the receipt of public cash assistance for income maintenance or institutionalization for long-term care at government expense. Diringer said the administration has proposed new public charge rules that could make it harder to get legal permanent resident status if applicants use certain government programs, have less income and education, and are in poorer health. Public charge only affects individuals applying to become lawful permanent residents, seeking to extend or change the category of nonimmigrant visas, or who are lawful permanent residents who leave the country for at least 180 days. During the process of applying for a green card, the government looks at an individual’s circumstances and using public charge is one factor.

Changes haven’t been made yet, but the need for government assistance that could cause someone to become a public charge has discouraged some people from looking into services that could help them, he said, such as receiving cash support (such as CalWorks and Supplemental Security Income) or Medi-Cal long-term care. The proposed changes would include services from CalFresh, Section 8 housing assistance, non-emergency Medi-Cal, and Medicare Part D low-income subsidies. “I think the administration accomplished its purpose, which is just creating more fear and anxiety among immigrant populations,” Diringer said. He said that false information gets out to communities, and, to be safe, adults are rejecting services such as Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) to avoid becoming a public charge. Those decisions not only affect the parent or guardian, but the child who might have been born in the U.S. and is in need of certain services. Diringer and other local organizations are working to get the correct information out there for those who need it.

Tough decisions

In 2005, Cortney Upthegrove moved to Cambria and met her husband, Juan Murguia, a year later. “We met in a bar, you know how you meet everybody,” Upthegrove said with a laugh. “We hit it off.” She knew Murguia was undocumented but didn’t think twice about his status or how it could affect their lives later on. Three years later, her son was born and the pair made the decision to get the paperwork so Murguia could apply for citizenship. Upthegrove can only describe the process as horrific—the constant waiting, the paperwork, and the cost. They knew that he would be sent back to Mexico. They just didn’t know how long he would be sent back for. Upthegrove said Murguia initially crossed the border illegally with his brother in 2001, from Mexico into the United States, when Murguia’s brother was stopped at the San Ysidro Point of Entry in San Diego by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents. Murguia didn’t want to leave his brother behind so he went back and essentially turned himself in to the agents. That’s what triggered the bar, she said. Upthegrove said when her husband went to his appointment at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office, he was asked whether he’d ever been arrested in the U.S. and how long he’s been in Mexico. He was detained when he crossed the border for the first time and

that was enough to bar Murguia from returning to his family for 10 years. “The thing about all that is I acknowledge that my husband broke the law. Here’s a newsflash: Everybody that’s in this country illegally broke the law,” she said. “They still broke the same law as my husband, ultimately, though it’s punishing us.” When her husband first went back to Mexico in 2014, Upthegrove was faced with either moving to Tijuana or staying in the Cambria area. She moved to Tijuana for a little while with her husband and their son, but found it difficult to get a job in the area because she doesn’t speak Spanish. She also couldn’t keep a job in San Diego if she had to cross the border every day, because she said the wait time to get checked before crossing was unpredictable. But Upthegrove was offered a job on the Central Coast that paid enough to fund the travel to visit her husband and was flexible enough that she could visit him often. She was visiting him almost every month while their son, JJ, stayed with Murguia in Mexico. But Murguia decided to go back to school, so he could find a better paying job, and Upthegrove took JJ with her back to Cambria. “The thing is that one of us is always the loser. If I go back to Mexico and work in San Diego, I have to cross the border every day which is highly stressful,” she said. The situation has put a tremendous strain on Upthegrove’s marriage, but she’s determined to figure out how to make it work. “I’m so hard-headed, and my priority is my son, and I’ll do what’s right because I see the bigger picture,” she said. But she feels that it’s the immigration policy barring her husband from coming back that’s really impacting her family more than anything else. The Valerio family is also feeling the effect of the immigration policy separating their family for 10 years, but the siblings are learning to get by together. Susan’s sister Grecia was accepted to San Francisco State University and will be attending in the fall. Her brother Johnny is graduating from Allan Hancock College and staying in the area to work. Susan said she’s going to continue working on her mother’s case and figure out a way to bring her back home. “We are still trying to do everything we can to get her back, and it feels impossible sometimes, but it’s not something we will give up on even if it takes a little longer than we would like,” she said. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

Cruising with seniors W hen you hear about a cruise event, what first comes to mind might naturally be shiny vintage cars with flame decals, whitewall tires, and loud mufflers. The Central Coast Senior Center is making noise with its version of such an event with the first ever Custom Walker Show and Cruise slated for April 28 from noon to 3 p.m. Loni Kuentzel, office manager, said the center has hosted open houses before, but organizers were really looking for a new hook to get people interested in seeing what it has to offer. “There are car shows all over the place, and because this is a senior center, I said ‘Let’s do a custom walker show,’ and well, that idea hit,” Kuentzel said. The entrance fee for the show will be $5, which not only admits attendees to the cruise but it includes a bake sale, tour of the facility, and demonstrations of some of its weekly activities. The fee also allows attendees to borrow a custom walker if they wish to participate in the cruise. “Now I call it a cruise, but they’re going to walk with the walker that each person decorates, not very far, but far enough right in front of the Senior Center so people can see the walkers and are able to judge which one is best,” Kuentzel said. The seniors who are members of the

center and are participating in the cruise have been working on creative ways to decorate their walker. While most are not revealing their design ideas until the big day, Kuentzel said she does know there will be all kinds of designs—including Asian, Saint Patrick’s Day, and Christmas themes. Kuentzel will also participate in the cruise, dressing up her walker with a Disney theme as she said she’s a bit of a Disney enthusiast. “That’s when I need my walker the most is when I’m at Disneyland because I still go,” she said. “It’s going to be called Pace Walker, like in the Indianapolis 500.” Attendees will find Kuentzel front and center of the cruise making sure everyone is on track and keeps the pace. Spectators can also judge the custom walkers with a dollar donation for each submission. The motivation behind the event is really to get people, specifically seniors, interested in the Central Coast Senior Center. The facility is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and offers about 13 activities and lunch for its members throughout the week. “We need seniors to know that we’re here and we have activities for them. They don’t have to stay at home and twiddle their thumbs, be stuck in a chair watching television, or whatever,” she said. Kuentzel said she and the other members of the center believe it’s important for seniors to keep themselves active and social.

Commentary

BY JOSEPH R. ROULEAU

They won’t work Roundabouts are not the solution to traffic on Highway 227

n March 20, 2019, a meeting was held at Los Ranchos Elementary School to tell attendees about the solutions to traffic congestion on Highway 227 between the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport and Los Ranchos Road. At least 300 to 350 or more local residents attended. The solution we were given was to install a series of roundabouts on 227. The first one at Los Ranchos Road, then Buckley Road, then Crestmont Drive, and possibly a fourth at Airport Drive. We were told that this was just a “proposal” needing further study, including improved traffic signal systems of some sort. Over the last two years, five meetings were held without the public involved. Preliminary cost estimates are $7.2 million for the first roundabout only. Roundabouts supposedly would help traffic flow freely to and from Price Canyon Road past the airport and let traffic from the intersections merge safely. Existing traffic signals would be removed. Nobody who uses 227 will deny that there is a real traffic problem. However, the problem is only Monday through Friday in the morning for about two hours and in the afternoon for two hours. The proposal is not a solution. It is a terrible idea. The city of San Luis Obispo, the county, and Caltrans helped cause the problem by growing without concerns for traffic and doing little long-range

planning—exacerbated by Highway 101 congestion. Little has been done to improve Highway 227. The only visible “improvements” were at the Buckley intersection a few years ago when wheelchair ramps were installed at the four corners so wheelchairs can cross 227 or Buckley from nonexistent sidewalks to nonexistent sidewalks on the other side of the streets. At least now that intersection has a traffic light. It appears that the “official” solution to the congestion must be roundabouts. Roundabouts will create a 168-hour per week traffic slowdown to allegedly relieve a 20-hour per week problem; but in reality, it will not help even during the rush hours. Highway 227 is a 55 mph roadway used by emergency vehicles, commuters, residents, school buses, parents dropping off and picking up students, trailer trucks, recreational vehicles, and countless others hauling loads to the landfill. All cars will have to slow to 20 to 25 mph at all hours of the day and night, with larger vehicles going even slower. Two vehicles—semis or pickups towing trailers—would bring traffic nearly to a stop if both enter a roundabout at the same time. Police, fire, and rescue vehicles would be restricted in speed while confused drivers try to pull over. Envision this: The road southbound at the airport will go from two lanes to one lane then to two lanes at the roundabout at Buckley; back to one lane, then to two lanes at the Crestmont roundabout; then back to one lane, then to two lanes at the Los Ranchos roundabout; then back to one lane—all within less than a half mile. Northbound 227 traffic will be affected in

the same manner. Traffic now backs up on Buckley for a mile or longer. With roundabouts, all vehicles will have difficulty merging safely to turn north or south, on or off 227, and to turn west on Buckley and Los Ranchos Road from north bound 227. Today, drivers turning north and south on 227 from Buckley and Los Ranchos Road have the safety of traffic signals. Drivers heading north on 227 are protected by traffic lights that momentarily stop southbound traffic when they turn left. We are told “merging” won’t be a problem. As the roundabout approaches, the road will widen to two lanes causing gaps in the traffic. Oncoming vehicles will just naturally slow down and nicely allow those entering or turning at the roundabout to proceed. However, we were also told that impatient drivers will pass vehicles when the road widens to two lanes causing natural gaps in traffic. Really? With roundabouts, the problem will only get worse because of the underconstruction storage unit on Buckley near 227, and it will worsen when the proposed 720-home development on Buckley is completed. Also, there was no mention of people walking or in wheelchairs crossing 227 or the feeder roads without the safety of a traffic light. Widening 227 from the airport entrance road to Los Ranchos Road or beyond in both directions and synchronizing the traffic lights is a better and safer answer. A cost study of all alternate proposals is needed. Roundabouts will not solve anything and will create far greater congestion and an increase in traffic accidents. Previously, Caltrans engineers stated that roundabouts cause more accidents initially than traffic-signal-controlled intersections, but the accidents are less severe with fewer injuries, and people

eventually learn to use them safely, so they are a good solution. Roundabouts are a centuries old solution that worked with horse and buggy traffic. People will say they work fine in Europe, but traffic in Europe consists of smaller vehicles and more motorcycles, all of which take up a lot less space. At 8 p.m. on a Monday night, I traveled from the airport to Price Canyon Road at 55 miles per hour. There was a total of four southbound cars and fewer northbound. With the roundabouts, everyone would have to slow to 20 to 25 mph three or four times in a short space for no reason other than the roundabouts. Most thought the real concern was for the commuters moving through at rush hour with little or no thought given to the impact on residents. When I asked one of the presenters if a show of hands would be called for, I was told no. However, one member in the audience took it upon himself to ask the audience for a show of hands if they had heard about this before, and if they were in favor of the proposal. Only one person raised their hand to both questions. I believe this is a terrible idea that has no popular support from the residents who will be affected. Adjusting the traffic lights and widening Highway 227, and improving Highway 101 would improve traffic for commuters and residents using Highway 227 and would still be safer. Let’s not make traffic worse for 168 hours a week due to a doubtful solution to a 20hour or less per week problem. ∆ Joseph R. Rouleau is not into roundabouts. He writes from San Luis Obispo.

Opinion No one seems to think much of Oceano’s future

Regarding the April 11 news story, “Visitors to county parks want ‘dynamic experiences,’ report says”: Many kids in Oceano already have “dynamic experiences” accessing parks. One involves jumping a locked fence to play on a half dirt field with one worn goal post. It’s the only park available to most people in Oceano. It’s not a county park, but it’s the elementary school yard behind a chain-link fence. And the one county park they do have in Oceano involves playing “chicken” with Highway 1 traffic because it’s located on the west side of the highway with no crosswalks, stoplights, or bike lanes, and few sidewalks to get there. But in the recent SLO County Parks Commission report, $0 was again allocated to the town of Oceano, where a quarter of the population is under the age of 18. Oh, there was one “Oceano” park listed in Tier 1 projects—the Coastal Dunes RV park located next to the Grover Beach train station and a couple of miles away from most people in Oceano. It was allocated nearly a half a million dollars for electrical upgrades. If parks are indeed one of the “best investments in our future,” it appears that no one thinks much of Oceano’s future. Especially not San Luis Obispo County 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton— who was completely silent on the issue. Likely, she was basking in the glow of her five mentions for Nipomo parks.

Do your homework

To equate hazardous waste from the manufacture of solar panels with the extremely toxic radioactive waste generated by nuclear power stations– which will continue to require constant monitoring, redundant safety features and security, long after shutdown–is simply ludicrous (“Nuclear is the way to go,” April 18). Reprocessing opens up a whole new toxic can of worms. I also find it terribly ironic that people who want to promote nuclear generation as a “climate saving” energy source never seem to like renewable sources and continue to claim that they cannot fill our energy needs, ignoring data and examples from other countries/regions that prove otherwise. Ellie Ripley needs to take her own advice and do her homework. Cassandra Greene Los Osos

Taxis worked for me

Just wanted to comment on the article regarding Central Coast Taxi and thank you for calling it to the attention of everyone (“Local shares his experience of owning one of SLO County’s last taxicab services,” April 11). I had not needed a taxi for years and couldn’t find information regarding them. I asked the information booth at the Pismo Pier and they gave me the name and number of Central Coast Taxi. I called them and made arrangements a couple days out for a pick up at 4:30 a.m. to the airport. I was apprehensive about the very early time, but they arrived exactly on time. The driver was very nice and helpful with my luggage. I called

Stop the insanity

Call it what you will—outrage fetishism, outrage exhibitionism, outrage porn—but that’s what we see happening in the majority of today’s political discourse. Conflating seemingly benign comments into crisis memes and using them to obfuscate what’s actually happening. And yes, there is no bothsidesism to it—Fox News and the “alt-right” and white nationalist rhetoric they co-opt, and repackage for the thirsty masses, is the biggest perp. It saddens me then, to see a smalltown columnist like Al Fonzi continue to chomp up the bait, to take those contorted takes straight to the dome, half-digest them, and regurgitate them for a local publication. Fonzi’s parroted rhetoric and beliefs rooted in misinformation seep into these pages on a bi-weekly basis for what I’m assuming is a cohort of readers split down the middle, half of whom are cheerleaders who swallow the same hate-filled pills on the daily and half of whom hate-read him to throw up their hands and wonder why in our little corner of the world this type of spittle has become the norm. Trump and his empire are criminal enterprises based upon the tenets of the old-time grift. Lie, cheat on taxes, bilk people out of money, sue, steal, lie, and cover some more. He is a carnival barker, a solo act, a Svengali and a charlatan, a bright shiny bumbling bauble of vitriol who wouldn’t be worthy of note if not for the fact that his policies have real consequences. The debasing of our Constitution and very democracy is happening so fast that no normalizing news org or equivocal governing body seems to have the chops to even cover or react to a fraction of the malfeasance. And so it rolls on. The real consequences will be felt over the next three generations—even as we’ve already lost so much. Party-line thinking that things will “go back to normal” after a Mueller report is released, after the next election, are as LETTERS continued page 16

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AL FONZI

They just can’t say it H ave you noticed that the mainstream American media just can’t say certain words or express certain ideas anymore? You know, like “Trump is innocent” or “Islamic terrorists”? I know, Trump is often an obnoxious, self-absorbed boor, intemperate and vindictive toward his enemies, but that doesn’t mean he’s a criminal. The main reason so many—including myself—voted for him is the failure of Democrats to offer anything better; often what they offered was measurably worse. Given the direction of the Democratic Party to date, I and millions more will likely vote to reelect Trump for a second term. Living in California gives a distorted perspective of America and the values of tens of millions of us, which are not the values of California’s urban centers, especially the Bay Area. Most Americans value family and are appalled at the idea of a child surviving an abortion being denied medical care or even actively killing the infant. The word not used by most media in this case is “infanticide” and rightly so. When children are so casually discarded and rebranded as “not viable human life,” it’s a short step to euthanasia of elders, first the terminally ill, then the mentally challenged, and finally an official policy of a “duty to die” for everyone. In Europe there are cases of chronically ill patients in their early 20s

being euthanized. What passes for doctors in those countries more closely resembles the legacy of the infamous Nazi, Dr. Mengele, than the humanitarian Dr. Schweitzer who spent his life in service to the indigenous peoples of Africa. Other words the media tends to choke on are anything complimenting Trump as president or as a human being. Did you know that Trump donates his salary each month to either a government department or national charity? Did you know prior to becoming president he sued the city of Palm Beach when he bought a segregated club, Mar A Lago, to open it to Jews and blacks? How about the time he paid to ensure a Mexican-American boy would graduate from college when he saw a news story about his terminally ill mom, or when he dispatched his personal plane to fly a sick Jewish boy for special care when no airline would accommodate his medical condition? Did you know that when American troops were stranded in Saudi Arabia after the first Gulf War in 1991, he dedicated his airline to fly a combat battalion home at the cost of gas only? Other words not spoken or quickly discarded are “arson” or “terrorism” if any suspicion might be cast upon Islamic terrorists. The destruction of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris comes to mind. Before the ashes had cooled, national media, taking their cue from the

LETTERS from page 15

The president and Bureau of Land Management’s approval last April of a new oil well/ pipeline in the Carrizo Plain would threaten and compromise Carrizo. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) and U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-California) have joined forces and reintroduced the Central Coast Heritage Protection Act (HR 2199), designating 250,000 acres between LA and Monterey counties as wilderness land prohibiting oil exploration or drilling. The bill would also connect a network of about 400 miles of existing hiking trails to create the Condor National Recreation Trail. The current administration’s attempt to drill on these public lands is supported by SLO County 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold. HR 2199’s passing is critical to permanently protect Carrizo’s valuable open space and sustain the ecological future of 468 wildlife species and more than 1,200 plant species. Lee Perkins Atascadero

far-fetched as wishing the economy would reverse back out of the have-tons and have-nothings mode of late capitalism that those entering the workforce now are just getting a taste of. We are, wholly, through the looking glass. Climate change, which is happening in spite of the fact that an insufferable and specious “debate” is still waged by one side questioning its existence; slow-playing mouthpieces of the oil and gas lobbies warping the masses into believing that things will remain the same as the earth ramps up temperatures and revolt after revolt, is the biggest threat to our lives, to our very existence. And yet, here we stand, segmented and outraged, crazy, and hand-wringing, and clinging to guns, religion, and racist statues, separating families at the border in totalitarian fashion and spreading hate memes as it all crumbles around us.

French government, left unchallenged the assertion that the fire was accidental and not terrorist related. I’ve participated in arson investigations and never was the cause of a fire of this magnitude so easily dismissed as accidental without witnesses to verify the source of ignition. France has an issue that our media and most international media refuses to address: a growing problem with Islamic-instigated violence against nonMuslims. France is a very secular state, with its Christian population living under virtual siege from both secularists and a growing and militant Muslim population. Last year, not reported in most media, France experienced 875 attacks, acts of vandalism or arson against Christian churches. Several major Christian churches were vandalized in the two weeks prior to the fire at Notre Dame. That doesn’t mean that the Notre Dame fire was arson, but the media is far too quick to accept the “official explanation” without challenge. Attacks on Christians globally are on the increase, so much so that Christians are now the most persecuted religious community in the world. According to former White House Press Spokesperson Dana Perino, since 2012 more than 23,000 Christians have been murdered for their faith. The Christian Charity “Open Doors” routinely reports on persecution of the Christian church, especially in

Africa and in Muslim-majority countries. Open Doors reports that an average of 105 Christian churches or buildings are attacked or burned every month and that 345 Christians are murdered for their faith every month: 4,136 were killed for their faith in 2018. Did you hear that 120 Christians were killed by Islamic terrorists in Nigeria in March 2019, women and children killed with machetes, entire villages burned down? No major U.S. media outlet covered these stories. On Easter Sunday, the National Thowheeth Jama’ath, a Sri Lankan Islamic terrorist group, murdered more than 310 people and wounded more than 500 in highly coordinated, technically advanced attacks on Christian churches and tourist hotels. They used high-grade military explosives and demonstrated technically advanced bomb-making techniques. The Sri Lankan government had detailed warning of impending attacks upon churches 10 days prior to the attack but failed to act. Democratic Party leadership demonstrated its usual level of indifference, if not hostility toward Christians by referring to the Christian victims as “Easter worshippers” instead of referring to them as Christians. That’s the problem with being “politically correct”: You choke on the truth. ∆ Al Fonzi is an Army lieutenant colonel of military intelligence who had a 35year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

Opinion

The Shredder

Informed public comment

ive Cities NIMBYs were out in full force on April 23, railing against the SLO County Board of Supervisors to not fund a project that the county’s Homeless Services Oversight Council recommended it fund. And it was a sight to behold. I’m sure 3rd District Supervisor Adam “I Miss My Little Minx” Hill would have loved to hear from his favorite constituent, T. Keith Gurnee, but alas, the King of the NIMBYs was nowhere to be found. He’s probably too busy gearing up for his next opinion piece about how shitty New Times is and what a gasbag The Shredder is (that’s me!). Send it our way, man. The editor of this liberal rag that’s been hanging around for far too long, Camillia “I Ain’t From Around Here” Lanham, said she would love to run it. Hill, instead, suffered through hours of discussion about whether a good chunk of this county’s allocation of state Homeless Emergency Aid Program monies should go to the contentious 5Cities Homeless Coalition project planned for a Grover Beach church in a residential area. On deck—potentially, maybe someday in the future, but who knows really—is low-income housing and homeless services (It’s so weird to put housing in a residential area, I know!). Who knew this cluster of madness would ensue? I bet Hill did. This sort of thing has happened before you know.

Oh, and I did, too—especially after hundreds of finger-waggers signed a petition against the project going in at that particular site, Hillside Church, titled “Don’t allow homeless facilities in a residential neighborhood.” Yeah! Don’t you know their homeless? It means they don’t have residences. So, duh, they can’t be in a residential neighborhood. Then, they might not be homeless anymore, so how’s that going to work? What will we label them as then? Just so everyone knows, the same arguments are posited every time there’s a proposed project people don’t like on the public table. “We didn’t know! We were never notified!” Joe Public Commenter bellows into the microphone. “It will change the neighborhood!” Nancy NIMBYson stammers through spittle. News flash! You do know. You are literally speaking at a public meeting about the project. And everything that happens in a neighborhood changes it. That’s basically the one thing a human (or a piece of office machinery) can rely on, remember? Change has been a part of existence since the beginning of time. You don’t like it?! Hand over your cell phone, hitch up those saggy britches, and get your ass out into the country so you can grow or chase down your own food. And while you’re at it, you should maybe read that story New Times wrote about natural building a

couple of weeks ago because you’re going to need it! What the fine folks of the Five Cities didn’t seem to realize was that the Board of Supervisors wasn’t actually voting on the project—on April 23, its job was to allocate or not to allocate dollars. Thank goodness 1st District Supervisor John “I’m Full of Surprises” Peschong brought his A-game to the dais that day! To my shock and awe, Peschong came in clutch! His usual gal-pals 4th District Supervisor Lynn “We Need a Mediator for this” Compton and 5th District Supervisor Debbie “This Wasn’t Vetted” Arnold were definitely not about this particular project to aid the homeless. Too bad they couldn’t stop the meeting for a short recess to give the 5Cities Homeless Coalition and Peoples’ Self-Help Housing a good talking to for riling up the Coalition of the Anywhere But Heres (I hear they only do that when cannabis is on the line). Peschong, though, deviated from the conservative three-pack to inform the room that land-use jurisdiction over this particular property is up to Grover Beach and that the ultimate decision is up to that particular city council. As Compton and Arnold lobbied to put strings on the money—a classic play out of the

conservative hypocrite’s handbook—he said he didn’t want them. Wait, what? You’re blowing my mind, man. Meanwhile, several Five Cities residents raised concerns that there were going to be homeless people wandering their streets, which also blew my mind because there already are homeless people wandering the streets. That’s why y’all need to offer up some more homeless services and affordable housing in South County! And here’s another news flash: Allocating money to a project doesn’t mean its going to move forward. There are so many freaking hoops involved in planning any project. As a liberal, I’ll admit, it’s a bit ridiculous (sorry guys!)— but you hypocrites out there only don’t like the steps when they apply to your own crap. When they’re foisted upon a project you can’t stand, you’re all about it and you say there aren’t enough! Grover Beach Mayor Jeff Lee even told supervisors “if and when” the project ever does come forward, every NIMBY out there will get an opportunity to put in their five dollars worth of comments (OK, he didn’t say it quite like that, but I gotta dress things up for this column or people will think I’m going soft). Grover Beach, he said with pride, has already turned down a grant that was allocated for a conference center. So there, you lot of NIMBYs. Storm the Grover Beach City Council. Lee is practically begging for it. ∆ The Shredder is all about castlestorming. Send comments to shredder@ newtimesslo.com.

EMPLOYMENT

FULL-TIME WRITER The Sun in Northern Santa Barbara County is looking for its next staff writer, but we’re not looking for just any article-pushing, source-wrangling, story-chasing someone. Are you sick of editing or regurgitating press releases day after day? Or maybe it’s those damn list things— you know the ones: “Top 10 hottest places to eat your lunch on a rainy day.” Or maybe it’s just not being able to put the time and reporting into a story that deserves it: the weeks and repeated phone calls that give a story what it needs to ripen into the hard-charging, data-filled narrative it’s dying to be; the time that turns a “meh” story into one that blows a hole in the status quo. Can you see the big picture of what a story means to a community? Is that what drives you? Do you know what it takes to—yes, we know, it’s cliché—make a difference in the lives of the people you cover? Does that sort of thing matter to you? If so, then you’re exactly who we’re looking for: a staff writer who isn’t afraid to take on the tedious, the tenuous, or the talented. That certain someone who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to the communities we cover at the Sun and New Times. Oil, agricultural, water, and environmental advocacy aren’t the only things that drive this place—although those are pretty juicy beats. There’s more, and we want to hire someone who can drive his or herself to unearth those stories and tell them in a meaningful way. Let us know if you’ve got what it takes. We dare you. Send a résumé, cover letter, and story samples to Cindy Rucker at crucker@newtimesslo.com.

Batman knows how to put on a show! From their matching formal wear to their super cool blended Brazilian Tropicalía with early ’70s psychedelic soul and romantic pop, they cook up some infectious and irresistible sounds. Frontman Bardo Martinez explained in press materials their aesthetic: “We’re making a particular reference that some people understand—Los Ángeles Negros, Los Pasteles Verdes. In the ’70s, it was a big thing where all these cats were playing romantic ballads, but they were funky as hell.” Next Thursday, May 2, Gungor and their End of the World Tour plays the Fremont (8 p.m.; all ages; $30.83 to $42.56), with The Brilliance and Propaganda opening. Gungor is husband and wife duo Michael and Lisa Gungor, who’ve been compared to Arcade Fire, Bon Iver, and Sufjan Stevens.

DREAMERS Pop duo Beach House, featuring Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally, play the Alex Madonna Expo Center on April 30. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE SAN LUIS OBISPO MASTER CHORALE

BEING ERNEST The SLO Master Chorale performs Ernest Bloch’s masterwork, Avodath Hakodesh, on April 28, in the Performing Arts Center, as part of a three-day celebration of the Swiss composer and photographer.

Dream pop

Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents’ big show this week is Baltimore-based dreamy pop duo Beach House, featuring French-born vocalist and keyboardist Victoria Legrand—the niece of Michel Legrand and Christiane Legrand—and Baltimore native guitarist, keyboardist, and backing vocalist Alex Scally. Their self-titled debut was released to much acclaim in 2006, and they followed up with Devotion (2008), Teen Dream (2010), Bloom (2012), Depression Cherry (2015), Thank Your Lucky Stars (2015), B-sides and Rarities (2017), and their most recent, 7 (2018). Legrand’s voice has been frequently compared to Nico and sometimes ’80s psyche rock singer Kendra Smith of Opal. This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins, and Big Star are a few of their influences. The duo adds percussionist Daniel Franz to their live shows. See Beach House at the Alex Madonna Expo Center on Tuesday, April 30 (6 p.m.; all ages; $37 at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com). Numbskull and Good Medicine is also bringing Wild Child—A Jim Morrison Celebration to The Siren on Saturday, April 27 (8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $18 presale at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com or $20 at the door). Featuring singer Dave Brock, Wild Child has been recreating Jim Morrison’s sound and vibe for more than 20 years. “The band also utilizes the same musical instruments live as The Doors did over 40 years ago,” press materials read.

Support survivors

Rise Up and Rock: A Benefit Concert Supporting Survivors is at the SLO Brew Rock Event Center this Saturday, April

27 (2 p.m.; all ages; presale $15 student, $25 general, kids 12 and under free at slobrew.com; or $20 student and $30 general at the door). This uplifting day supports RISE: Respect, Inspire, Support, Empower, a nonprofit organization “that provides crisis intervention and treatment services to survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence and their loved ones,” according to their website. “All services are provided confidentially, at low or no cost, to anyone regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or ability. All crisis services are available in Spanish and English.” The Bogeys open the show at 2:30 p.m. Comprised of Cal Poly students and Whole Foods workers, the alt-pop band mixes ’80s synth pop sounds with ’60s surf rock. Lady rockers Hot Tina go on at 3:30 p.m. These SLO music scene veterans are influenced by “Joan Jett and Blondie, a little Misfits, AC/DC, or Iron Maiden with a dash of Roseanne Cash and

Loretta Lynn.” according to their bio. I’ve seen them a bunch, and they rock hard! Brass Mash, a horn-driven cover band that takes popular tunes, mashes them together, and arranges them for horns, starts at 5 p.m. They’re one of the most fun local live bands around! The SLO Grrrl Music Collective is also supposed to make an appearance. Most of your ticket cost ($20 of the $25 general and $10 of the $15 student) goes to RISE. Be part of the solution and have a great time, too.

Bloch party

The SLO Master Chorale presents a weekend festival of music and art by Ernest Bloch, a Swiss contemporary composer who lived and worked for much of his career in California. A seminar, photography exhibit at SLOMA, and concert are all scheduled. More than 100 singers accompanied by a full orchestra will perform Bloch’s masterwork, Avodath Hakodesh, or “Sacred Service,” commissioned by Temple Emanu-El of San Francisco in 1929, at the main event of the weekend, on Sunday, April 28 (3 p.m.; all ages; $10 to $38 at pacslo.org or (805) 7564849), in the Harold Miossi Hall of Cal Poly’s Performing Arts Center. An exhibition of Bloch’s photography will be on display in the lobby beginning at 2 p.m. for ticket holders. Cal Poly Professor Emeritus Eric Johnson, an expert on the photography of Bloch, will also offer two free workshops. On Friday, April 26 (3 p.m.), Johnson will present “A Composer’s Vision” on STARKEY continued page 33

Stepping out

LOCAL AUTHOR San Luis Obispo author Eldonna Edwards is the bestselling author of novels, including This I Know and, most recently, Clover Blue.

Local author’s new novel, Clover Blue, mixes the desires for home and for truth

t 12 years old, Clover Blue has no idea when his actual birthday is or who his actual parents are, but he does know he’s happy living in Northern California as part of the Saffron Freedom Community. Through Blue’s eyes, San Luis Obispo author Eldonna Edwards crafts a story that is part mystery, part love story, and part coming-ofage tale in her most recent novel, Clover Blue, hitting stores May 28. Blue knows that everyone in his rural, nature-loving community—made up of a surfer, a midwife, a Grateful Dead groupie, a Vietnam deserter, and other characters—is family, but he begins to ask questions. And, for the first time, group leader Goji’s answers don’t satisfy. Edwards, who is a Central Coast Writers Conference coach and a West Coast transplant, visited the themes of religion and the supernatural in her first novel, This I Know; she took inspiration from her fascination with communes for her second fiction book. Edwards spoke with New Times about the 1970s, living off the grid, and forgiveness. New Times: How would you describe Clover Blue? Eldonna Edwards: Clover Blue is about a boy who grows up in a 1970s California commune not knowing who his parents are. NT: Where does the story take place exactly? EE: It’s set outside of Freestone, north of Santa Rosa. The commune’s sleeping quarters is an elaborate tree house. NT: What inspired you to write Clover Blue? EE: I just missed all the cool stuff. I always imagined how cool it would be to live off the grid and be in nature. It kind of got my imagination going. I like writing about tribal identity. It’s IMAGE COURTESY OF a spiritual ELDONNA EDWARDS commune. NT: Would you describe Clover Blue as a young adult novel? EE: No, it’s literary fiction— coming-ofage literary fiction, I would call it. It has a lot of moral questions about fate and destiny.

CCWS hosts a one-night pop-up gallery

The Central Coast Watercolor Society (CCWS) hosts its PopUp Gallery and Potluck Dinner at the United Methodist Church in SLO on Tuesday, April 30, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Current and prospective members should bring one matted or framed original painting and one potluck dish to share. Attendees with last names beginning with A through C should bring a dessert; D through L a salad; and M through Z a main dish. Admission to the event is free. The church is located at 1515 Fredericks St., SLO. Call (805) 439-0295 or visit ccwsart.com for more information. ∆ —Caleb Wiseblood

Clover Blue, by San Luis Obispo author Eldonna Edwards, is available on Amazon for $17.10 for hardback, $12.99 for the Kindle version, and $34.99 for the audiobook. Edwards’ other books, Lost in Transplantation and This I Know, are also available on Amazon.

book, but also people whose parents are baby boomers and they really want to know about that era. They were like adult children.

NT: Who inspired the commune leader, Goji? EE: There was this huge movement of people, people who were destined to follow in their father’s footsteps as a doctor or lawyer, and they said, “Screw it, I’m going to go find myself,” and that’s Goji. He travels and brings back this collage of Eastern philosophies and starts a commune. Everyone gives up their name when they join the commune and they get new names, but no one knows where Goji’s name comes from.

NT: What do you hope readers take away from Clover Blue? EE: I really hope that they’ll consider that the truth is a malleable thing and everyone has their own truth. What may be true for one person may not be true for another. Also forgiveness. The book is about forgiveness and realizing that we can be hung on this hook or we can pull the hook out of our own jaw and live our lives. ∆

NT: Who should read this book? EE: I think baby boomers are going to dig this

After recent visits to spots like the Carrizo Plain and Shell Creek Road, Fisher created the oil painting Wildflowers as an homage to the tenacious plants. “The wildflowers are going wild this year,” Fisher said. “They’re everywhere.

It inspires me to think there are still wild things in nature.” San Miguel artist Jeff Jones decided to take his inspiration from the wild things that once were in his digital photo, Jurassic Wild. For this piece, Jones combined a photo he took of (fake) dinosaurs at the Mid-State Fair, a landscape photo of the backside of Bishop Peak in SLO, and a little bit of Photoshop magic to create the look of a painting.

“They’re roaming around where they might have been at one point,” Jones said about Jurassic Wild. “I had to combine all of these elements to make it work. It was a fun project.” And Templeton artist Heidi Kruger’s Turkish marbling painting, Sly Fox, is an abstract take on a fox (See the eyes? Yup, there they are!). Through the process of Turkish marbling, Kruger literally uses paint floating on a layer of water. Kruger then rakes across the top of the paint for texture. “It’s very zen,” Kruger said of the technique. “It’s very relaxing. People will look at it and say, ‘Oh I see this.’ And others will see something different.” ∆ A wild night for Arts Writer Ryah Cooley ends by midnight. Contact her at rcooley@ newtimesslo.com.

CALL AND RESPONSE Aretha Franklin teams up with the Southern California Community Choir to record Amazing Grace, her 1972 gospel album.

lan Elliott and Sydney Pollack codirect this documentary about soul singer Aretha Franklin with the choir at the New Bethel Baptist Church in Watts, Los Angeles, in January of 1972. (89 min.) Glen There’re a lot of amazing elements to this documentary. The fact that Sydney Pollack (This Property Is Condemned, They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, Jeremiah Johnson, Three Days of the Condor, Tootsie, Out of Africa, The Firm) directed the 1972 filming and is now given codirection credit 11 years after his death is pretty amazing. The fact that this footage languished for 47 years before seeing the light of day is pretty amazing. I should also mention it’s a pretty rough edit, and there’re a lot of moments where the camera operators struggle to get into like nothing less than a goddess. Unlike focus. None of that matters because the most films that are focused on a story, most amazing element of all is Aretha’s this one is straight gospel from beginning voice. She was 29 years old, and she’d had to end, no interviews or cutaways, just a string of popular R&B hits such as “I Aretha, the audience, and preachers Say a Little Prayer,” “A Natural Woman,” spreading the word. Toward the end of “Respect,” Chain of Fools,” “Think,” “Do the film, Aretha’s father C.L.

Much of the fun is watching the cameras scan over the lucky audience members as well as the choir singers, whose spontaneous reactions to Aretha’s performance are honest and raw.

We watched the film the day before Easter, and it’s all the church I need. Simply amazing! Anna People can barely contain themselves in the audience, and as you mentioned, occasionally they can’t! It’s almost like a cure-all—inescapable joy is radiating right out of the roof, and it’s tough to feel down after witnessing such united love. I’m so glad that this footage was saved and finally made it to the big screen. It’s one thing to hear the music but a whole other feast for the senses when you see it in the theater. It’s an experience, and seeing Aretha feels like a treat. I can hardly imagine those in the audience don’t bow their heads in thanks every day for the chance to witness her and the music she grew up on. I want the album, I want her outfits, and I want to be a fly on that church wall. I think because this film is almost completely music, it may be easy to get distracted in a home viewing. This is one to surround yourself in the darkness of a theater and really enjoy every minute. Catch it at The Palm while you have the chance! ∆

Wait ’til Netflix has it NOTHING ........ Don’t waste your time Marvel, joining an intergalactic cohort called Starforce before returning home to discover Earth is caught in a war between two alien species. The plot is a bit more complicated than what’s above. The story opens when Vers, as Carol is known in the Kree capital planet of Hala, is training to become a Kree warrior. Her problem, as her training partner and team leader Yon-Rogg (Jude Law) tells her, is she can’t control her emotions when she’s in battle. Vers is a bit of hot mess. Women, right? She suffers from nightmares involving another woman (Annette Bening), and she doesn’t remember her past. Much of the film moves back and forth in time as Carol slowly pieces together her life before she became a Kree fighter and member of Starforce, which is at war with

the Skrulls, shape-shifting aliens who can disguise themselves as anyone they come in contact with. I don’t want to give too much of the inventive plot away. Part of the film’s fun is that viewers are as much in the dark about Carol’s past and what’s happening between the Kree and the Skrulls as she is. Suffice it to say, the story heats up when Carol eventually find herself back on Earth, where her arrival, crashing through the roof of a Blockbuster Video store and finding communication gear at a Radio Shack—yes, it’s definitely 1995—draws the attention of the authorities, specifically Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), an agent of a fledgling covert group called S.H.I.E.L.D. Over all, it’s an entertaining origin story of Captain Marvel as well as a rousing feminist saga as Carol discovers who she

is and what she’s capable of. I wasn’t sure how Brie Larson would be as Captain Marvel, but thankfully she approaches the role with humor. Gotta love an actress named after cheese, right? Superhero movies that take themselves too seriously are usually terrible, which is why Thor: The Dark World (2013) was a bit of a dud for me while Thor: Ragnarok (2017) was a blast. Superhero stories are inherently ridiculous, and when the stories and characters acknowledge that, even winkingly, they’re more fun. Vers comes off as irreverent and bordering on disrespectful of her superiors. As she learns more about her past, she begins to suspect she’s been manipulated. She eventually locates her old pilot friend, MOVIES continued page 41

MOVIES from page 39 Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch), now retired from the Air Force and living a quiet life with her daughter, Monica (Akira Akbar), who still remembers Auntie Carol from the old days. Vers makes a great role model for Monica, who also gets to see her mom get back into pilot action. Jackson as Nick Fury has a lot of fun in his role and doesn’t seem phased by the strong women around him, but the film’s scene-stealer is Goose, a big orange tabby. Lots of great action sequences, solid special effects, and with a classic tee-up for future sequels, Captain Marvel manages to entertain and inspire without resorting to didactic lecture, but viewers will certainly be reminded of the old adage, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” (124 min.) —Glen

THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Rent it Where’s it showing? Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 First-time director Michael Chaves helms this horror thriller about a social worker Anna TateGarcia (Linda Cardellini) and her small children, Chris (Roman Christou) and Samantha (JayneeLynne Kinchen), haunted by a supernatural entity. The evil spirit is none other than Mexican folklore’s La Llorona (Marisol Ramirez), the ghost of a woman who drowned her children in a moment of blind rage. After multiple ghastly encounters, Anna enlists help from Father Perez (Tony Amendola) and occult specialist Rafael Olvera (Raymond Cruz) to stop the spirit from harming her family. Although marketed as a standalone film, I was surprised to realize The Curse of La Llorona is part of The Conjuring Universe, basically the closest thing we have to a Marvel Cinematic Universe of horror movies. For those unfamiliar with the franchise, it started with 2013’s The Conjuring, and each film since has been either a prequel, a sequel, a spin-off, or even all three simultaneously. The connection in this case is barely one at all, however. Amendola reprises his Father Perez role from 2014’s Annabelle, but that’s about it (unless I missed any other Easter Eggs). After Anna shows Perez the strange injuries on her arm, he’s already confident in exactly who the culprit is. If there’s one thing I really appreciate about The Curse of La Llorona, it does its best to not waste any time. I was expecting half of the movie boiling down to the children trying to convince their mother of La Llorona’s existence, but nope! Anna sees the ghost herself pretty soon after the kids do, and that scene really works for me because it doesn’t cut away quickly. There’s a good 20 seconds of Anna just staring at this frightening figure in her living room, who she assumes is just an intruder at first. She’s ready to fight too, although I don’t remember her weapon of choice— either a baseball bat or another blunt object. The nightmare doesn’t end there, though, as the apparition reappears throughout the week, always leaving strange burns and bruises on the wrists or arms of Anna and her children. The performances are solid, and I was genuinely scared a lot of the time, but for me, The Curse of La Llorona isn’t as memorable as a lot of other recent horror movies. But in its defense, there’s so much to compete with these days. We’re basically living in the “Disney Renaissance” of horror films, and I for one hope it never ends. (93 min.) —Caleb Wiseblood

this live-action remake from appropriate director Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish, Alice in Wonderland). Unlike the original, however, this story centers on brand-new human characters rather than anthropomorphized animals. So don’t expect to see anything on all fours talking, contrary to other recent Disney remakes like The Jungle Book and the upcoming Lion King. Timothy Q. Mouse still makes a fun cameo appearance, but his role as Dumbo’s friend and protector gets transferred over to two human children, Milly and her brother, Joe. The siblings try to convince their father, circus worker Holt Farrier, that Dumbo has the ability to fly. Of course, he scoffs at the fantastical notion, but can we really blame him? He is a dad in a Disney movie, after all. And as every good Disney parent knows, the first rule of parenting is: Never believe your children, especially when it comes to the supernatural. Second rule: Apologize to them later for not believing after the big “I told you so” moment. Hiring one of the screenwriters behind three consecutive Transformers movies, Ehren Kruger, to adapt a cartoon about a baby elephant was a bold move. I’d love to have seen this CGI version of Dumbo take down some Decepticons. It’s a really mixed bag, but I still feel like it’s worth seeing on the big screen. There’s enough visual majesty to warrant a theater viewing, despite a thin screenplay. I’ll probably check out the Blu-ray, too, when it comes out, just in case there’s a deleted scene of Dumbo transforming into a Fiat convertible before duking it out with Megatron and Starscream. Move over Optimus Prime, there’s an elephant in the room, and his name is Dumbo. (112 min.) —Caleb

MISSING LINK What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10 Writer-director Chris Butler (ParaNorman) helms this stopmotion animated adventure about Sir Lionel Frost (voiced by Hugh Jackman), who’s invited to the Pacific Northwest by Sasquatch—aka Mr. Link (voiced by Zach Galifianakis)—who hopes Frost will take him to the Himalayas to meet his long-lost relatives the Yetis. With free-spirited adventurer Adelina Fortnight (voiced by Zoe Saldana), the trio sets out to find Shangri La. I was really hoping for stop-motion animation along the lines of Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle of Dogs, Duke Johnson and Charlie Kaufman’s Anomalisa, or even Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie, but instead this seems to be a mix of stop-motion and green screen CGI. It’s still undeniably visually arresting, but it’s not nearly as quaint and charming as the previously mentioned films. Frost, a crypto zoologist desperate to be accepted into a men’s club led by Lord Piggot-Dunceby (Stephen Fry), keeps trying to find evidence of various mythical creatures. The film opens with his search for the Loch Ness Monster. Unfortunately, even though he discovers the creatures, coming back with irrefutable proof is difficult. Piggot-Dunceby and the other members reject him and go one step further. They send henchman Willard Stenk (Timothy Olyphant) after Frost to thwart his Himalayan expedition. What follows is the trio’s misadventures and Stenk’s relentless pursuit. There’s some bad blood between Frost and Adelina Fortnight so part of the story is about their reconciliation, which frankly happens too easily to have any resonance. Most of the film’s humor is courtesy of Galifianakis’ Mr. Link, a literalist who must learn to understand Frost’s bonedry sarcasm. The whole thing is cute enough, and the various characters learn their valuable lessons, but I was a bit underwhelmed. It simply feels like the film’s messages are overly obvious and telegraphed. Frost thinks of Mr. Link as a bumpkin unworthy of his respect and nowhere near his equal. Want to guess if that changes? Frost also thinks Piggot-Dunceby and the other “great men” of his club will give him prestige and credibility, but they—not Mr. Link—turn out to be the knuckle-draggers trapped in the past and fearful of the future. Frost thinks Fortnight needs a man like him but soon learns she doesn’t need anything or anyone because she’s self-reliant. Mr. Link thinks he needs to be with his Yeti brethren, but they reject him as being foreign and different. He learns he must find his own family through his friendships with others. These are all great messages for kids, but they lack nuance. Should you bring your children to see this? Sure, spring for the matinee so you can see it on the big screen. Just don’t expect to feel delightfully entertained yourself. I nearly dozed off a few times. (95 min.) —Glen

SHAZAM! What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Horror director David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation) successfully steps out of his comfort zone to helm this superhero fantasy about 14-year-old foster kid Billy Batson (Asher Angel), who is chosen to inherit magical powers from a dying wizard (Djimon Hounsou). All Batson needs to do is say the magic word—the wizard’s name, Shazam!—to transform into an adult superhero (Zachary Levi) with super strength, flight, and other abilities. Still a kid at heart, the hero— or “champion” as the wizard refers to him— revels in his new powers, testing them out with his foster brother, Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer), the first person Batson trusts with his secret. Meanwhile, the insidious Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong), a mad scientist who dedicated his life to finding the original Shazam, seeks to hunt down Batson in order to extract his powers and adopt them himself. From the trailers, the film looks like Deadpool for kids, but after seeing the final product, I think a more appropriate description would be a cross between Harry Potter and Big for superhero fans. The film opens with an origin for Sivana, cleverly devised to mirror Batson’s origin later; he’s chosen by the same dying wizard as a child decades before. Unfortunately, Sivana fails the wizard’s test when he is tempted by “the Seven Deadly Sins.” The sins are literally represented as physical demonic monsters that play an intricate— and quite terrifying— role in Sivana’s destiny. Sivana is devastated by the wizard’s rejection, who tells him he’ll never be worthy enough to inherit his powers. I won’t spoil all the details, but the following scene is quite brutal for a kids’ movie and includes the darkest use of Bing Crosby’s “Do You Hear What I Hear?” I’ve ever seen put on film. I’m not always a fan of cheerful music juxtaposed with dark material for the sake of irony, but this one works so perfectly. The lyrics proclaiming the birth of the messiah really set the stage for Sivana’s future role as an antichrist figure. It’s a lot to take in, but wow. Believe the hype! The film’s universal acclaim since its release is well deserved. Like Wonder Woman and Aquaman, Shazam! builds its own world and mythology while still retaining the features of a shared universe

@getoutslo

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL My older daughter loves to use my phone in selfie mode to take photos of the undersides of flowers, aiming for the most unique angle possible. FIRE FLOWERS This year’s bloom yielded the most poppies I’ve ever seen in my extended backyard, the South Hills in SLO.

Backyard super bloom We only have to hop our fence to explore SLO’s own poppy explosion

t’s almost 2 o’clock on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in April, and I’m delighted to be helping my daughter with her research project. We’ve smeared sunscreen on our ears and arms, sprayed bug repellent on our ankles, and filled our water bottles. It’s go time, and I hope the poppies on the hill behind our house are ready for their close-ups!

It’s California history season in my daughter’s fourth grade class, and she’s opted for an exploration of the state flower. So instead of making a clay model of La Purisima Mission—complete with lasagna-noodle terra cotta tiles and toothpick crosses—she’s photographing and researching the California poppy. As the four of us trudge up the steep emergency access road from our neighborhood to connect with the South Hills trail, I’m glad for a clear, cool day. The sunshine means the poppies will be open, and the coolness means my daughters won’t complain too much about the heat. We really don’t have to go far to see the glorious orange; multiple swaths of Eschscholzia californica grow wild and free in our neglected backyard. But on a hike we go, cameras and phones in hand. Like the law-abiding Californians we are,

we don’t pick a single poppy—which, our fourth grader later tells us, became the state flower in 1903. At the top of our hill, we catch our breath and kneel amid the cups of gold (aka flame flowers). My older daughter grabs my phone and kneels down as far as she can to capture the most unique angle possible. She puts the phone on selfie mode—but instead of capturing her smiling face, she photographs the undersides of several poppies. My husband takes photos of our fourth grader standing and sitting among the flowers, and I get my phone back to snap my own pics. The paper-thin petals and equally delicate leaves are entrancing, and I’m tempted to lie down and take a nap. But like Dorothy and friends in the Wizard of Oz, we’ve not yet completed our quest. More poppies and more Sunday fun await us on the other side of this hill. Δ Associate Editor Andrea Rooks still wants to sleep in a field of poppies. She can be reached at arooks@newtimesslo.com.

Crushin’ it As demand for grapes softens, growers are leaving clusters on the vine, fallowing fields, and pulling out older vines

efore you freak out about the headline on this story, hear me out: Markets swing. It’s just a fact of economic life. That swing played out in the housing industry, moving it from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market in the last decade. And it’s doing the same in the grape industry, which was a grape grower’s market. However, that pendulum is now on the grape buyer’s side (i.e. wineries and winemakers). “It’s definitely a changing market, but we just have to ride it out and see what happens,” Mindy Allen from Martinez Farming and Custom Vineyard Application said. “You know, we’ve been here before.” Allen remembers a huge crop year on the Central Coast in 2005. Prices for grapes dropped for a few years because large grape crops don’t just affect prices in the year they were harvested. Grapes get crushed into wine (obviously), and as long as that vintage stays on the bulk wine market, the price for grapes holds at a lower price. Both 2017 and 2018 were huge crop years, and Allen said 2019 is setting itself up to do the same because of all of the winter rain. Prices dropped as the tonnage of grapes available for sale increased. According to the California Department of Agriculture’s Grape Crush Report for 2018 released in early April, Central Coast production was up 7 percent from 2017 and up 12 percent from the five-year average. Statewide, the total number of tons crushed in 2018 was up 7 percent over 2017 and set a new record of 4.28 million tons. “I sold stuff last year on the spot market for $400 a ton, hand-picked, $200 a ton machine-picked,” Allen said. “That’s not even enough to cover your basic labor expenses.” Soon enough, she said, it will once again become a grower’s market. In the

meantime, though, farmers have to be smart. She said if growers don’t have a contract with a winery to buy their grapes already in place, she’s encouraging them to fallow their vines this year. Don’t panic, though, it won’t look like those scenes of empty dry fields in the Central Valley during the drought. Basically, Allen said, she’s telling growers to make sure their vines are sprayed, so they don’t get mildew spores or any other diseases, but not to prune or send any labor in. Vineyards want to make sure their vines are clean going into 2020, but spending money to take care of grapes for harvest in 2019 doesn’t make financial sense for a lot of vineyards, Allen said. With 2019 setting up to be as bountiful of a harvest year as 2018, there will be a lot of grapes and bulk wine on the market—and possibly a lot of grapes left on the vine. “If you have a contract, be happy,” she said. “Last year, some of wineries took in extra, but one particular winery sent out a letter last year to the growers, stating, ‘In the future, we will only be taking what we are contracted for.’” In 2018, the Central Coast harvested the third largest crop in its history— and, according to Audra Cooper from Turrentine Brokerage (a consultant/ advisor for growers and wineries), it could have been the largest if all of the “tonnage on the vine” was harvested. But it wasn’t. The market for grapes “softened,” as people in the industry say, meaning: The demand is less, and prices are lower. “It softened a touch overall because wine sales are not as strong in regards to growth as they were the last six to eight years,” Cooper said. “Meanwhile, our supply has outpaced that growth.” Brands were growing in the double digits, Cooper said. But those numbers have declined to single digit percentages in recent years. In other words, brands are still FILE PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

FALLOW GRAPES Mindy Allen with Martinez Farming and Custom Vineyard Application is encouraging grape growers that don’t have existing contracts with wineries to fallow their vines in 2019. This entails not spending money on labor or pruning—but ensuring that vines stay free of diseases. 44 • New Times • April 25 - May 2, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

growing, just not as fast as they once were. Vineyard plantings on the Central Coast, which is the region Cooper covers for Turrentine Brokerage, increased over the last several years—and much of it was cabernet sauvignon, especially in the Paso Robles area. “There’s an element of that growth that really pushed the envelope in terms of new plantings, but you also had the dynamic of drought and water issues that really spurred, in my opinion, a lot of plantings in a really short time period,” Cooper said. “We’ve essentially doubled the production of cabernet sauvignon in Paso Robles in the last six years.” The flurry of planting that took place in northern San Luis Obispo County occurred as the county’s Board of Supervisors was discussing ways to curtail water use in the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin at the height of the drought. Wells were going dry, and many fingers pointed toward vineyards as the culprit. Eventually, the board passed an ordinance barring increased water use (such as a vineyard getting planted) out of the basin unless it’s offset by a decrease somewhere else. Cooper said the plantings that went in during that short time period would have ordinarily been planted over a 10-year period. In 2012, the crop yielded around 40,000 tons, Cooper said. In 2018, Paso Robles’ cabernet sauvignon crop increased 13 percent over 2017 to 90,000 tons, an increase Turrentine attributed to “newly bearing acres.”

That flurry of plantings has decreased to almost no new plantings. Allen with Martinez Farming and Custom Vineyard Application said they’ve only participated as consultants on a handful of new vineyard plantings in the recent past, and those are only vineyards with pre-plant contracts with wineries. Mesa Vineyard Management General Manager Gregg Hibbits agrees. New plantings are on a hiatus, he said. There are some bright spots in the market, though, Cooper said. Grapes from newly planted vines (vines take three to seven years to bear fruit once they’re planted, by the way) that are farmed in the right spot, in the right way, do have some demand, she said. Demand for older fruit has dropped off. A lot of the vineyards in North County are older vineyards, planted in the ’90s or earlier. The fruit off those vines is no longer of the same quality that it once was. The vines also no longer bear the same amount of fruit they once did. “They’re quality-challenged,” Cooper said. “It’s almost as if we’re in a time of changing of the guard, where a lot of the older vineyards that perhaps used to make a specific style of wine or used to make a winery-specific targeted blend of wine, they’re no longer able to do that on an annual basis.” Hibbits from Mesa Vineyard Management said the quality of the younger vines is definitely better than the FLAVOR continued page 46

EMPLOYMENT

FLAVOR WRITER

Join Our Team! New Times is looking for its next FLAVOR writer, but we’re not looking for just any article-pushing, press release-reading, food-eating, wine-drinking someone. We’re looking for that certain someone who can see the nuances that make a chef, farmer, or winemaker special—a writer who can tease the most out of an interview, a bite of food, or a sip of liquid. Someone who not only knows food, but cares about the people making it and where they came from. FLAVOR is about more than food and drink. It’s about understanding the work that goes into producing and participating in the chain that leads to your table and into your mouth—and being able to put that on paper in a way that’s meaningful to our readers. This is a freelance position with weekly deadlines. Think you have what it takes? Prove it. Journalism experience is a requirement.

older vineyards and some of those older vineyards are starting to pull those vines out. You can see the removals as you drive up and down the coast, he said. “The market has been quite strong here over the last few years. In some cases, people held on to older vineyards due to demand,” Hibbits said. “People are doing removals, and they’re delaying replantings for a year to see what’s happening.” It’s a tough business to guess in, he said. When you plant for the market, vines don’t bear fruit for a few years. So there’s a risk to it, and growers are always working to try to figure out that piece. “It’s a complicated market, complicated times,” Hibbits said. “People need to keep drinking wine.” ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham fully supports the drinking of wine.

D INE ’N’ DISH Picnic-bench sitting

A trip to Barrelhouse Brewing Co. at Tin City in Paso Robles always puts a smile on my face. On a recent Sunday, I spent an hour lounging on their picnic benches in the sun, sipping a beer, taking it all in as I chatted with my cousin. I use plural (benches) because it was late afternoon, and we moved with the sun. As the shade covered our faces, like cats, we pounced on another sun-dappled spot. She sipped on a Barrelhouse Stout, which she absolutely loved, and I sipped on a Barrelhouse Juicy IPA, which I also absolutely loved, as we took in the aroma of the Javed Kabab Paradise Food Truck. It might have been the perfect ending to a perfect weekend. Barrlehouse Brewing Co. Brewery and Beer Gardens is located at 3055 Limestone Way in Paso Robles, every day from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Go get your lounge on. ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham is into weekend lounging, although it doesn’t happen very often.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Compose an exciting prayer in which you ask for something you’re not ‘supposed to,’ freewillastrology.com. ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the U.S., the day after Thanksgiving typically features a spectacular shopping orgy. On “Black Friday,” stores sell their products at steep discounts and consumers spend their money extravagantly. But the creators of the game Cards Against Humanity have consistently satirized the tradition. In 2013, for example, they staged a Black Friday “anti-sale,” for which they raised their prices. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to try something similar. Is it possible you’re undercharging for your products and services and skills? If so, consider asking for more. Reassess your true worth and seek appropriate rewards.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Whether or not you believe in magic, magic believes in you right now. Will you take advantage of the fancy gifts it has to offer? I guess it’s possible that you’re not interested in seeing deeper into the secret hearts of those you care for. Maybe you’ll go “ho-hum” when shown how to recognize a half-hidden opportunity that could bring vitalizing changes. And you may think it’s not very practical to romance the fire and the water at the same time. But if you’re interested, all that good stuff will be available for you. P.S. To maximize the effects of the magic, believe in it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1815, the most ferocious volcanic eruption in human history exploded from Mount Tambora in what’s now known as Indonesia. It flung gas and ash all over the planet, causing weird weather for three years. Sunlight dimmed, temperatures plummeted, skies were tumultuous, and intense storms proliferated. Yet these conditions ignited the imagination of author Mary Shelley, inspiring her to write what was to become her most notable work, Frankenstein. I suspect that you, too, will ultimately generate at least one productive marvel in response to the unusual events of the coming weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): For over 40 years, Cancerian musician Carlos Santana has made music that blends rock ’n’ roll with Latin and African rhythms. In the early years, his creations sold well, but by the mid-1980s his commercial success declined. For a decade, he floundered. His fortunes began to improve after a spectacular meditation session. Santana says he was contacted by the archangel Metatron, who told him how to generate material for a new album. The result was Supernatural, which sold 30 million copies and won nine Grammy Awards. I mention this, Cancerian, because I suspect that you could soon experience a more modest but still rousing variation of Santana’s visitation. Are you interested? If so, the next seven weeks will be a good time to seek it out—and be very receptive to its possibility.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Expergefactor” is an old English word that has fallen out of use. In its original sense, it meant something that wakes you up, like an alarm clock or thunderstorm or your partner’s snoring. But I want to revive “expergefactor” and expand its meaning. In its new version, it will refer to an exciting possibility or beloved goal that consistently motivates you to spring out of bed in the morning and get your day started. Your expergefactor could be an adventure you’re planning or a masterpiece you’re working on or a relationship that fills you with curiosity and enchantment. In my astrological opinion, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to identify and fine-tune an expergefactor that will serve you well for a long time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): We live in a cultural moment when satire, sarcasm, cynicism, and irony are prized as supreme emblems of intelligence. If you say that you value sincerity and earnestness, you risk being considered naive and unsophisticated. Nevertheless, the current astrological omens suggest that you will generate good fortune for yourself in the coming weeks by making liberal use of

aduLt services

sincerity and earnestness. So please try not to fall into the easy trap of relying on satire, sarcasm, cynicism, and irony to express yourself. As much as is practical, be kindly frank and compassionately truthful and empathetically genuine. (P.S. It’s a strategy that will serve your selfish aims quite well.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Most people don’t find their creativity,” mourned Libran author Truman Capote. “There are more unsung geniuses that don’t even know they have great talent.” If that describes you even a little bit, I’m happy to let you know that you’re close to stumbling upon events and insights that could change that. If you respond to the prompts of these unexpected openings, you will rouse a partially dormant aspect of your genius, as well as a half-inert stash of creativity and a semi-latent cache of imaginativity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do you know the word “sfumato”? Its literal meaning in Italian is “smoked.” When used to describe a painting, it refers to blurred borders between objects or fuzzy transitions between areas of different colors. All the forms are soft and hazy. I bring this to your attention because I suspect the coming weeks will be a sfumato-like time for you. You may find it a challenge to make precise distinctions. Future and past may overlap, as well as beginnings and endings. That doesn’t have to be a problem as long as you’re willing to go with the amorphous flow. In fact, it could even be pleasurable and useful. You might be able to connect with influences from which you’ve previously been shut off. You could blend your energies together better with people who’ve been unavailable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “You have a right to experiment with your life,” declared author Anaïs Nin. I agree. You don’t necessarily have to be what you started out to be. You can change your mind about goals that you may at one time have thought were permanent. I suspect you could be at one of these pivot points right now, Sagittarius. Are there any experiments you’d like to try? If so, keep in mind this further counsel from Nin. It’s possible “you will make mistakes. And they are right, too.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have one main task to accomplish in the coming weeks, Capricorn. It’ll be simple and natural if you devote yourself to it wholeheartedly. The only way it could possibly become complicated and challenging is if you allow your focus to be diffused by less important matters. Ready for your assignment? It’s articulated in this poem by Rupi Kaur: “bloom beautifully / dangerously / loudly / bloom softly / however you need / just bloom.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When the forces of the Roman empire occupied the British Isles from the years 43 to 410, they built 2,000 miles of roads. Their methods were sophisticated. That’s why few new roads were built in England until the 18th century, and many of the same paths are still visible and available today. In this spirit, and in accordance with astrological omens, I recommend that you make good use of an old system or network in the coming weeks. This is one time when the past has blessings to offer the future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I’m not enigmatic and intriguing enough,” writes a Piscean blogger named RiddleMaster. “I really must work harder. Maybe I’ll start wearing anklelength black leather coats, billowing silk scarves imprinted with alchemical symbols, and wide-brimmed hats. I’ll listen to Cambodian folk songs and read rare books in ancient Sanskrit. When someone dares to speak to me, I’ll utter cryptic declarations like, ‘The prophecies will be fulfilled soon enough.’” I understand RiddleMaster’s feelings. You Pisceans need mystery almost as much as you need food. But I believe you should set aside that drive for a few weeks. The time has come for you to show the world who you are with crisp candor. ∆
